Vollständiges Transkript von Breathwork Breakthroughs with Kurtis Lee Thomas

say, yoga or meditation? 00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:55.024 Okay, great, it's a great segue into that. 00:04:55.024 --> 00:04:56.870 You know, let's talk about the barriers to entry. 00:04:56.870 --> 00:05:05.930 Well, when it comes to yoga, first of all, yoga without conscious breathing is just stretching, that's all it is. 00:05:05.930 --> 00:05:08.973 So you have to bring the breath into the yoga poses. 00:05:08.973 --> 00:05:10.937 Of all, yoga without conscious breathing is just stretching, that's all it is. 00:05:10.937 --> 00:05:13.579 So you have to bring the breath into the yoga poses which actually, you know, make them work. 00:05:13.579 --> 00:05:19.913 And with yoga, man, it takes a lot, a lot of time for those results to compound right and for you to really see the results of yoga. 00:05:19.913 --> 00:05:20.980 And with breathwork, it's immediate and undeniable. 00:05:20.980 --> 00:05:26.321 And you can be, you know, 400 pounds lie down on your back, fully clothed. 00:05:26.321 --> 00:05:30.190 You don't have to go into a yoga room wearing a leotard and feel comfortable. 00:05:30.190 --> 00:05:32.387 You know bending in certain positions in front of people. 00:05:32.387 --> 00:05:36.483 So it's super simple and that's why people and even companies are adopting to it. 00:05:36.483 --> 00:05:52.521 Now, if you look at meditation, I believe meditation is more of an advanced practice, because if you get somebody who's stressed out which is the world to sit down, sit still and don't think a thought for the next 20 minutes, they're going to get more stressed out. 00:05:52.521 --> 00:06:03.473 And what I've noticed is that people who implement a breathwork practice, not only is the meditations they do more effective, it's actually more enjoyable. 00:06:03.473 --> 00:06:06.646 So I'll tell people to implement a breathwork practice first. 00:06:06.646 --> 00:06:16.786 Specifically, a deep, diaphragmatic breathing technique Doesn't have to be breathwork detox, but that's what we focused on, because if I was to give you the comparison, it'd be like cleaning a dirty car. 00:06:17.307 --> 00:06:24.526 If you're going to clean your car, you wouldn't clean your car with a toothbrush, right, you'd want to clean your car with a power washer. 00:06:24.526 --> 00:06:29.132 Clean your car with a toothbrush right, you'd want to clean your car with a power washer. 00:06:29.132 --> 00:06:30.654 And that's what breathwork is. 00:06:30.654 --> 00:06:33.178 It's the deep clean for the body and it's the power washer. 00:06:33.178 --> 00:06:37.689 And then, once your car is clean, you can use the toothbrush as maintenance to get in those little crevices. 00:06:37.689 --> 00:06:40.177 And I think it's the comparison between, you know, breathwork and meditation. 00:06:40.177 --> 00:06:49.495 I do yoga, I meditate, but it's not as effective and noticeable of the results than breathwork. 00:06:49.495 --> 00:06:52.048 But when you put them all together it's beautiful. 00:06:52.048 --> 00:06:54.386 But I'd say one is the deep and the other is the maintenance. 00:06:55.007 --> 00:06:55.810 Oh, that's great. 00:06:55.810 --> 00:06:56.651 I love that. 00:06:56.651 --> 00:07:01.339 And why do so many people cry during your breathwork sessions? 00:07:04.735 --> 00:07:05.699 during your breathwork sessions. 00:07:05.699 --> 00:07:11.148 Yeah, you know, it's so interesting because I realized that, working with men, it's a lot harder for them to cry. 00:07:12.261 --> 00:07:15.310 And because we hold a lot of stuff in. 00:07:15.310 --> 00:07:18.826 We might not want to be vulnerable because it might show our weakness. 00:07:18.826 --> 00:07:26.281 And they actually say in the Eastern civilization that the reason why women live longer is because they allow themselves to cry. 00:07:26.281 --> 00:07:28.608 They allow themselves to process their emotions. 00:07:28.608 --> 00:07:41.848 And the thing about crying is all it is is a big energetic release and if you keep that stuff in, it wreaks havoc on your nervous system and it can even cause dis-ease. 00:07:41.848 --> 00:07:44.574 And I think that's a big deal. 00:07:44.574 --> 00:08:00.627 They did a study with Dr Suzuki from British Columbia he's the head of the genetics department and they took the condensed molecules from the energy of anger for just one hour and within just one hour those condensed molecules had enough toxicity to kill 80 guinea pigs. 00:08:01.350 --> 00:08:02.211 Oh, my goodness. 00:08:02.701 --> 00:08:07.262 And you know that's the stuff that we keep in and why so many people are sick and we don't realize it. 00:08:07.262 --> 00:08:17.346 You know and I look at someone like Steve Jobs you know he had all the money in the world, the best doctors, best technology, best everything, and he still died. 00:08:17.346 --> 00:08:18.529 He couldn't save himself. 00:08:19.192 --> 00:08:19.411 And. 00:08:19.653 --> 00:08:32.703 I tell people is you know, it doesn't matter how many millions or billions are in your bank account, how many green juices you drink, if you are holding on to the toxic energies of guilt, shame, regret, anger. 00:08:32.703 --> 00:08:34.106 It's a death wish. 00:08:34.748 --> 00:08:40.749 Exactly, yeah, I have his daughter wrote a book about him and I don't think they had a good relationship. 00:08:40.749 --> 00:08:47.028 I think he didn't talk to her for a while or it was kind of non-existent, so maybe that's something he held in too. 00:08:47.809 --> 00:08:50.413 Oh yeah, that's I mean as a father, single father. 00:08:50.413 --> 00:08:52.725 My daughter's been living with me since she was five years old. 00:08:52.725 --> 00:08:54.110 It's the best thing that ever happened to me. 00:08:54.110 --> 00:08:57.870 I can't imagine having a relationship with my own flesh and blood. 00:08:58.291 --> 00:08:59.354 Yeah, right. 00:08:59.354 --> 00:09:06.217 And how important is it really that we manage our stress and anxiety in the workplace and at

home? 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:07.660 Oh gosh. 00:09:07.660 --> 00:09:11.144 I think that's balance is key. 00:09:11.144 --> 00:09:20.475 I think we're all striving for balance and, depending on what you do like I've been an entrepreneur my entire life my life isn't always balanced. 00:09:20.475 --> 00:09:37.515 This insatiable appetite for knowledge and learning something new, you know, constantly finding balance, but then also the act of finding balance in your life. 00:09:37.515 --> 00:09:39.702 You're in balance and I think that's just a part of life. 00:09:39.702 --> 00:09:47.787 Right, the pendulum swings in both directions and you know you'll finding knowing thyself. 00:09:47.787 --> 00:10:06.575 I think that is the key in knowing how you operate, because sometimes I hate to say this, but I work good under pressure and I don't want to admit that, but it's what allows me to get things done, and that doesn't necessarily mean balance in my life. 00:10:06.575 --> 00:10:10.831 It's like when I'm unbalanced is when I actually become most productive. 00:10:11.640 --> 00:10:13.327 Yeah, right, Exactly. 00:10:13.327 --> 00:10:20.591 And you wrote a couple books, right I don't know if you want to talk about them One called it's called Breathwork Detox, right? 00:10:21.212 --> 00:10:21.413 Yeah. 00:10:21.413 --> 00:10:24.990 So that book is Breathwork Detox how to Thrive in the Age of Anxiety. 00:10:24.990 --> 00:10:35.043 I want people to know because I spend, you know, all of my time certifying people in breathwork detox and doing these breathing events virtually every two weeks. 00:10:35.043 --> 00:10:37.871 I was the worst breather. 00:10:37.871 --> 00:10:39.166 People think I'm the best breather. 00:10:39.166 --> 00:10:50.011 I was the worst breather ever, holding my breath, panic attacks, anxiety, and I'm like, ok, I can't get through life like this. 00:10:50.011 --> 00:10:55.787 I'm never going to achieve my goals and get to where I want to be and just feel comfortable and confident in my own body. 00:10:55.787 --> 00:10:57.611 So something needs to change. 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.971 And the thing is, when something needs to change in your life, that something is you. 00:11:01.971 --> 00:11:16.085 You're the only problem you'll ever have, yet you're the only solution that you'll ever need, and when you take care of your mind, body and your spirit, your life will take care of itself. 00:11:16.085 --> 00:11:18.152 So that was, you know, my. 00:11:18.152 --> 00:11:27.003 You know I had to find a solution and you know I started out as a certified life coach, certified by ISA, which is a sports science, fitness professional. 00:11:27.003 --> 00:11:30.634 Then I became certified hypnotherapist, nlp practitioner, reiki master so I was collecting these certifications right. 00:11:30.634 --> 00:11:33.846 Andotherapist, nlp practitioner, reiki master so I was collecting these certifications right. 00:11:34.307 --> 00:11:38.244 And you know, really just

learning, even like hypnotherapy, I'm like I can't be hypnotized. 00:11:38.244 --> 00:11:44.174 But I went and did a hundred hour training and I'm like, oh, we're all hypnotized, at least like five to seven times per day. 00:11:44.174 --> 00:11:47.864 You know, even when we're driving there's something called highway hypnosis, so you're just driving. 00:11:47.864 --> 00:11:55.914 Next thing, you know, you end up to your location, Like you know, you stopped at the red lights, you stopped at the stop signs, but you don't really recall the driving because you were in a trance state. 00:11:55.914 --> 00:12:17.998 Yeah, exactly to one book, easy to read book and gives you the solutions that I used where I felt like it saved my life. 00:12:17.998 --> 00:12:30.991 There's a breathing technique I share that changed my life and there's another technique that I share that that saved my life and I put those in the book and the book is not riddled with all these breathing techniques because I realized if you give people too many things to do, they don't do anything. 00:12:31.395 --> 00:12:38.061 It's just like I can juggle, throw one ball in the air, throw two balls in the air I can actually do three balls in the air. 00:12:38.061 --> 00:12:41.991 But if you throw a fourth ball at me it's all going to come crashing down. 00:12:41.991 --> 00:12:44.224 So I know my limits. 00:12:44.224 --> 00:12:49.462 So I just focused on the best techniques that you can give someone who's struggling with anxiety. 00:12:49.462 --> 00:12:50.445 So that's why I wrote that book. 00:12:51.326 --> 00:12:55.715 The other book is the World is Yours, the Secrets Behind the Secret. 00:12:55.715 --> 00:13:14.884 That is an all-encompassing book and anyone who's on the journey of spiritual awakening which wink, wink is everybody, whether you realize it or not, like it or know it or not that book, what I've gotten from people is that it was the missing piece that they were looking for. 00:13:14.884 --> 00:13:20.784 It helped them connect all the dots of all these pieces of information they gathered over the years. 00:13:20.784 --> 00:13:22.048 And I remember one lady. 00:13:22.048 --> 00:13:24.903 She told me I think she put it the best she goes. 00:13:24.903 --> 00:13:29.864 You know, curtis, throughout life I feel like we're collecting these little tiny puzzle pieces. 00:13:29.864 --> 00:13:37.351 And we have these puzzle pieces in our hand and we don't quite know where to put them down, so we just kind of hold onto them. 00:13:37.351 --> 00:13:48.366 She goes, your book was like all the outer edges of the puzzle board and it allowed me to take my piece of my puzzle and put it in the game and have it make sense. 00:13:49.028 --> 00:13:50.470 Wow, that's cool. 00:13:51.392 --> 00:13:51.712 That was. 00:13:51.712 --> 00:13:54.261 I'm like that was great, like that was. 00:13:54.261 --> 00:13:55.666 That was the best explanation. 00:13:55.666 --> 00:14:08.571 And you know, that's the first book that I had and it became a number one bestseller and I think, like four countries and Oprah got it, tony Robbins, joe Rogan, deepak there's over 150 celebrities that have that book in their possession. 00:14:08.571 --> 00:14:13.625 So, and that was my first one, I did it all myself and a lot of those people like the book. 00:14:14.485 --> 00:14:14.885 Wow. 00:14:14.885 --> 00:14:16.729 And where could people get your books? 00:14:16.729 --> 00:14:20.774 On Amazon or your website or yeah, they're all on Amazon. 00:14:20.774 --> 00:14:24.221 Okay, cool, nice, nice, nice. 00:14:24.221 --> 00:14:30.629 And what are some of your greatest success stories and testimonials you heard from your breathwork clients. 00:14:31.700 --> 00:14:40.042 Oh man, I'll say that most of the testimonials the big ones, I guess you could say seem unbelievable. 00:14:40.042 --> 00:14:42.626 And there's I witnessed miracles. 00:14:42.626 --> 00:14:53.931 Literally little miracles happen with this technique and the obvious is people immediately feel buoyant, they feel lighter, they feel like they just dumped all their emotional baggage. 00:14:53.931 --> 00:14:58.346 Because, you know, sometimes it's not the weight of the baggage, it's how we carry it. 00:14:58.346 --> 00:15:13.634 And a lot of people learn to carry it well and I like to tell people, you know, sometimes the weight that we need to lose isn't on our physical body, so people just feel just so much better and it cuts down their cortisol, their anxiety. 00:15:13.634 --> 00:15:16.328 So that's like the given for most people. 00:15:16.779 --> 00:15:33.428 And then there's ones where a weird one for me, that was women kept reaching out to me saying that I forget the name of the doctors, but there's a doctor who deals with women in fertility and they were going to these doctors, spending all this money, and then they did the breathwork and then they were able to get pregnant. 00:15:33.428 --> 00:15:54.530 Now this happened a handful of times where I'm like, oh my God, this is the thing and what the breath is doing, it's removing all energetic blockages and suppressed emotions in the body which, like we said, can not only wreak havoc in your system, but it can also block you of your manifestations and block your body of the physical healing that it needs. 00:15:54.530 --> 00:16:03.653 And that was the physical healing for me was how I even got into breathwork was I had a stomach condition that doctors couldn't heal me. 00:16:03.653 --> 00:16:06.293 They couldn't even diagnose me and I was suffering. 00:16:06.293 --> 00:16:30.076 I thought I was dying of cancer because I went from 185 to about 142 and I couldn't think straight and I was all messed up and I was so desperate just to paint the picture of how bad it was, I checked myself in the LA County Hospital where I was living at the time and it was my second time there and I told them cut me open, I will sign the waiver, just cut me open. 00:16:30.076 -->

00:16:33.105 I need you to go inside and see, because I already swallowed three pill cameras. 00:16:33.586 --> 00:16:44.149 I took endoscopies, colonoscopies, every test under the sun, spending tens of thousands of dollars from the co-payments just co-payments from the best doctors from LA to New York, and they couldn't. 00:16:44.149 --> 00:17:03.211 So I was desperate and I thought maybe I had a like a like a new millennia type parasite that they couldn't detect because I was going to India and Thailand and some of these places and luckily they didn't cut me open because I found this technique and I did one session of this technique. 00:17:03.211 --> 00:17:10.127 One session it completely eradicated my stomach condition and I was mind blown. 00:17:10.127 --> 00:17:13.702 It took me like three days to wrap my head around this and I'm like how is this possible? 00:17:13.702 --> 00:17:21.667 I've I've been to the jungles of Peru, I did ayahuasca 12 times, 14 times, sorry, and you know, nothing did it. 00:17:21.749 --> 00:17:28.842 And I had all these certifications and nothing could heal me, couldn't heal myself, and then this one technique did it for me and then I realized you know what? 00:17:28.842 --> 00:17:39.221 The reason why these doctors couldn't tell me what was wrong with me is because my issue wasn't physical, it was emotional, and they don't teach us that in school. 00:17:40.085 --> 00:17:44.035 No, they don't, Definitely not yeah. 00:17:44.416 --> 00:17:54.550 And I do want to mention one other thing I touched upon, just to elaborate, but this is a big one, and the reason why I'm bringing this up is because that whole world is yours book, right, that was on the laws of the universe. 00:17:54.550 --> 00:18:00.711 We talk a lot about the law of attraction, but I talk about the other laws of the universe as well, in All Encompassed. 00:18:00.711 --> 00:18:14.946 And what I realized because it's not in that book is the biggest thing to manifest is that we all are trying to consciously manifest, and I'm here to tell people you already know how to manifest, you're already doing it every single day, right? 00:18:14.946 --> 00:18:18.904 You think you want something, you visualize it, you feel the emotions, it comes to you. 00:18:18.904 --> 00:18:28.461 The big step is obviously action, right, because visualization without execution is hallucination, and I think Thomas Jefferson said that. 00:18:28.842 --> 00:18:29.383 Oh, wow. 00:18:30.105 --> 00:18:40.739 But what I realized is that we all want to let things in, but really what we need to do is let things go, and we need to empty our cup before we can fill it up. 00:18:40.739 --> 00:18:50.125 We need to make energetic space in our lives and even in our bodies, which is our physical manifesting instrument, before we can let all these things in. 00:18:50.125 --> 00:18:53.058 And the analogy I give is like think of an airplane. 00:18:53.058 --> 00:19:03.482 So if you're in this airplane and you're looking to land somewhere in life and if there's something on that runway, you're not going to be able to land or take off. 00:19:03.482 --> 00:19:12.279 In fact, the air traffic controller which let's call it the universe if you're trying to land and there's something on your runway, they're going to tell you to keep doing what? 00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:14.066 Going in circles. 00:19:14.587 --> 00:19:21.663 And a lot of people feel like they're going in circles in life because they haven't cleared their runway, they haven't made energetic space for the things that they want. 00:19:21.663 --> 00:19:24.577 So don't focus on so much the things that you want. 00:19:24.577 --> 00:19:25.820 The universe knows who you want. 00:19:25.820 --> 00:19:26.912 You think about it every day. 00:19:26.912 --> 00:19:30.059 Focus on learning to let go of the things. 00:19:30.059 --> 00:19:33.174 That's preventing you from accepting your blessings. 00:19:33.695 --> 00:19:35.421 Wow, you have a point there, that's true. 00:19:35.421 --> 00:19:40.373 Blessings Wow, you have a point there, that's true. 00:19:40.373 --> 00:19:46.476 When people have blocks, they need to clear those, and I do have clients that they come to me and they don't know what's wrong with them, because they are medical intuitive. 00:19:46.476 --> 00:20:00.284 So the breath work could probably help them, because sometimes it's just something a doctor can't find, like you said, and it's just energetic or whatever energy or yeah, and what does trauma? 00:20:00.324 --> 00:20:03.234 how does that come in to what you do Like? 00:20:03.234 --> 00:20:04.877 How do you deal with trauma? 00:20:04.877 --> 00:20:06.762 I mean, how does it affect us? 00:20:07.630 --> 00:20:09.634 Well, for me, I wasn't dealing with my trauma. 00:20:09.634 --> 00:20:14.019 I didn't even know that I had trauma, and I think most people don't. 00:20:14.019 --> 00:20:15.827 They know they've been through some stuff, but you don't really know. 00:20:15.827 --> 00:20:19.520 The trauma is there until it's gone, which is what I found out to be quite interesting. 00:20:20.029 --> 00:20:28.003 The thing about trauma is so the mind tends to always think into the future and the body holds on to the past. 00:20:28.003 --> 00:20:32.801 So the body is a living library of all of our experience and the body keeps score. 00:20:32.801 --> 00:20:40.609 So another thing is that the soul always wants to be present gore. 00:20:40.609 --> 00:20:41.834 So another thing is that the soul always wants to be present. 00:20:41.834 --> 00:20:48.092 So we have this fight amongst those three elements of ourselves and typically the mind usually wins, but the body will accumulate all these things. 00:20:48.092 --> 00:20:49.915 And the issue is when we are younger. 00:20:50.817 --> 00:21:01.741 We have to redefine our definition of trauma and pain when we get older, because what I consider to be traumatic now versus when I was a child is different when I

was a child. 00:21:02.324 --> 00:21:29.941 Not getting picked for volleyball, when everyone goes out and plays and I'm sitting there by myself, right, or I get pushed off the swing by a bully, right those are traumatic events that imprint our emotional bodies when we're younger and the issue is we don't have the emotional intelligence as children to process those emotions, so we store them in the body until we do get to a level of consciousness and awareness where we can. 00:21:29.941 --> 00:21:43.037 But this thing happens to us, called life and all these traumatic events and issues that we had, they compound and they build up and it doesn't release just on its own. 00:21:43.037 --> 00:21:52.221 You know we need to consciously do things to, whether it's shadow work, whether it's breath work, whether it's therapy, coaching, whatever. 00:21:52.221 --> 00:21:56.336 You got to do something to work with these issues. 00:21:56.336 --> 00:22:03.943 And then you know the trauma can cause all types of issues in our life, but when we release it we feel like a new person. 00:22:04.709 --> 00:22:09.820 Yeah, and then how often do you recommend people do breath work on a daily basis? 00:22:09.881 --> 00:22:16.482 Yeah, so the sessions that I do are deep work, right? 00:22:16.482 --> 00:22:18.296 So you know the people we have. 00:22:18.296 --> 00:22:23.855 They do them twice a month with me, so I'll do them every new moon and every full moon, so we just did one for the eclipse. 00:22:23.855 --> 00:22:28.582 And we're going to do one for the next solar eclipse, which I think is like October 3rd. 00:22:29.029 --> 00:22:32.616 Not the podcast, but oh no, it is Right. 00:22:32.616 --> 00:22:34.392 It's coming up, I think in the second or third. 00:22:34.392 --> 00:22:34.873 You're right. 00:22:35.554 --> 00:22:42.644 Yeah, and then conscious breathing is something that you should do every day, like we do have something we call the Breathless Club. 00:22:43.525 --> 00:22:44.145 Oh, wow. 00:22:45.711 --> 00:22:59.897 Yeah, of course I do, and I have seven facilitators which I've trained over the years and each one has their own day Soulful Sundays and Motivation Mondays, intuition Tuesdays, wisdom Wednesdays and they'll do breathwork every single morning, 6 am PT. 00:22:59.897 --> 00:23:15.090 We do have the replays and we give that as a free bonus to all of our members and it's like a little motivational session and then a little breathwork and it starts your day, because our motto is win the morning win the day. 00:23:15.131 --> 00:23:16.092 So it's that maintenance. 00:23:16.092 --> 00:23:22.134 But as far as the deep ones, I'd say I mean, just try one and you'll want to do it. 00:23:22.134 --> 00:23:27.797 Like the first time I found it, I did a deep session every single day for close to I think. 00:23:27.797 --> 00:23:30.837 I fell off right around 10 or 11 months. 00:23:30.837 --> 00:23:33.358 I almost made it a full year, which is a lot, wow. 00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:35.720 I thought you were going to say 10 or 11 days. 00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:37.020 You actually went months. 00:23:37.020 --> 00:23:39.201 That's good, that's remarkable. 00:23:39.582 --> 00:23:44.663 Well, that was like my personal initiation to teaching. 00:23:44.663 --> 00:23:49.086 The modality is really all the wonderful things that I can do for you. 00:23:49.826 --> 00:23:52.627 Wow, and how long does a session take? 00:23:52.627 --> 00:23:53.928 The deep breath work. 00:24:00.890 --> 00:24:03.317 Yeah, so the deep breath work, the event is about 90 minutes. 00:24:03.317 --> 00:24:04.140 Wow, the event is 90 minutes. 00:24:04.140 --> 00:24:19.821 The active breath work is around 28 minutes and then we cool off periods, we do invocations, we do a lot, of, a lot of cool visualizations at the end because while they're in this, that space right, we want to take advantage of being in that space and, whether that's manifesting or whether whatever it is, we do different things, like last one. 00:24:19.821 --> 00:24:26.182 We did heal the inner child, so I brought them the visualization of healing the inner child and that was pretty cool. 00:24:26.182 --> 00:24:26.770 I love that one. 00:24:26.852 --> 00:24:27.454 That's cool. 00:24:27.454 --> 00:24:28.539 Yeah, that's awesome. 00:24:28.539 --> 00:24:34.013 And you did one you said on the full moon eclipse in Pisces just on the 17th, I think it was right. 00:24:34.454 --> 00:24:36.336 Yeah, that was the inner child one. 00:24:36.617 --> 00:24:40.963 And you host those the new moon and full moon right Sessions. 00:24:40.963 --> 00:24:49.410 Is it usually just you or Typically. 00:24:49.430 --> 00:24:50.773 typically, if I do have somebody fill my spot, it's a master teacher. 00:24:50.773 --> 00:24:57.868 We have three teachers and I'm probably going to have one for not this next one, but the following one, because I'm planning on going to Tibet for about three weeks a month. 00:24:57.970 --> 00:24:58.612 Oh, how fun. 00:24:58.612 --> 00:25:00.157 Yeah, that's amazing. 00:25:01.190 --> 00:25:05.101 Yeah, I don't know the connection out there, so I think I'm just going to have someone. 00:25:06.869 --> 00:25:07.250 Exactly. 00:25:07.250 --> 00:25:09.175 Wow, that sounds great, fabulous. 00:25:09.175 --> 00:25:13.637 And what is your definition of a healer and do you consider yourself a healer? 00:25:14.971 --> 00:25:20.314 What a great question, so I might have contradicting answers for you, which I apologize in advance. 00:25:20.554 --> 00:25:21.415 No, that's okay. 00:25:21.696 --> 00:25:25.395 Because there's a part of me that doesn't want to claim to be a healer. 00:25:25.395 --> 00:25:29.010 I was trained by a shaman for five years, but I don't call myself a shaman. 00:25:29.010 --> 00:25:36.913 I don't walk that particular path that they do and holding the sacred stones with them everywhere they go, although I have crystals. 00:25:36.913 --> 00:25:39.499 But there's the certain

lineage I was taught with. 00:25:39.499 --> 00:25:45.479 I don't follow that path, but I learned a lot of great things from them and I believe I don't heal people. 00:25:45.479 --> 00:25:47.123 I show them how to heal themselves. 00:25:47.123 --> 00:25:49.994 That's the important part that I feel. 00:25:49.994 --> 00:25:50.596 Now. 00:25:50.718 --> 00:26:01.564 I think the definition of a healer, with that said, is that there's a lot more healers out there than we believe, meaning a lot of massage therapists, right when they're putting their hands on people. 00:26:01.564 --> 00:26:22.770 They're working energy there you go right, and I think massage therapy for a lot of people is the this isn't you, but the unawakened healers to be considered a healer or even think that they're a healer or even have awakened to that, that they are healers. 00:26:22.770 --> 00:26:27.663 And they'll go into massage therapy not knowing that they were healers in past lives and look at you like that's what you did and you transitioned. 00:26:27.663 --> 00:26:28.644 You're fully clairvoyant. 00:26:28.644 --> 00:26:31.557 But for the average massage therapist, they're healers. 00:26:31.557 --> 00:26:34.311 Also, people don't think about hairdressers. 00:26:34.311 --> 00:26:41.196 There's hairdressers who are constantly working energetically with people. 00:26:41.196 --> 00:26:45.733 That's why you want to tell your hairdresser everything, like they're your therapist, right? 00:26:45.733 --> 00:26:46.917 Because they're a healer. 00:26:46.917 --> 00:26:55.980 They have their hands on you at all times, working with your crown, so there's a lot of undercover healers out there. 00:26:56.481 --> 00:26:57.963 Yeah, that's interesting. 00:26:57.963 --> 00:26:59.413 I was just going to mention that. 00:26:59.413 --> 00:27:01.180 I got my hair done yesterday. 00:27:01.180 --> 00:27:07.356 He put some color in it and he washed my hair and I just felt like he was a healer. 00:27:07.356 --> 00:27:15.064 I could just tell I felt really revitalized or healed after he worked on my hair. 00:27:15.064 --> 00:27:17.655 So it's amazing you said that. 00:27:17.655 --> 00:27:18.778 Yeah, that's cool. 00:27:19.220 --> 00:27:19.582 So cool. 00:27:19.730 --> 00:27:20.471 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:27:20.471 --> 00:27:27.778 And if someone wants to become a healer or a breath work detox facilitator like you, where should they start? 00:27:28.809 --> 00:27:34.681 Yeah, so well, first of all, they could go to breathworkdetoxcom. 00:27:34.681 --> 00:27:38.530 And when they go to breathworkdetoxcom there's a couple of things they can do. 00:27:38.530 --> 00:27:44.303 One they can go to the teacher training where we give free consultation. 00:27:44.303 --> 00:27:50.355 So we'll get on a call with you, we'll answer all your questions, because we attract a lot of people who obviously want to help people. 00:27:50.355 --> 00:27:57.805 But also therapists, we have a few nurses, quite a few psychics believe it

00:31:16.794 --> 00:31:17.816 I'm just curious. 00:31:18.939 --> 00:31:21.663 Yeah, so I'd say almost immediately. 00:31:21.663 --> 00:31:28.721 So what happened was I was having a Taoist tummy massager massage. 00:31:28.721 --> 00:31:32.211 It's called CNT Amazing lady. 00:31:32.211 --> 00:31:34.720 Her name's Janica, she's in LA, if you can look her up. 00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:45.476 She's the one that put me on and told me hey, you should try out this breathing technique Because, if you think about it, your stomach is where 80% of your immune system is produced. 00:31:46.038 --> 00:31:47.962 It's where 80% of your serotonin is produced. 00:31:47.962 --> 00:31:50.780 Now, that's the two things that make you healthy and happy. 00:31:50.780 --> 00:31:53.550 So 80% of your health and your happiness is in your gut. 00:31:53.550 --> 00:31:58.638 And what this lady told me when I was on her table, she goes Curtis, your wind gate is blocked. 00:31:58.638 --> 00:32:08.191 Now that's terminology for I don't know Taoist Tao, whatever her modality. 00:32:08.211 --> 00:32:10.239 And your wind gate is the most important energetic center in your body. 00:32:10.239 --> 00:32:14.413 It's where all the energy enters, all the new energy, and where all the old energy releases is through that main wind gate. 00:32:14.413 --> 00:32:15.817 And mine was blocked. 00:32:15.817 --> 00:32:27.619 So it was like

a sewage of old energy in my system and just like water, like if water's going down right or just flowing and let's say, something comes in front of it like a dam. 00:32:27.619 --> 00:32:28.845 Well, what happens? 00:32:28.845 --> 00:32:30.330 That water gets blocked. 00:32:30.330 --> 00:32:34.805 It has to go in another direction, and energy is the same way. 00:32:35.426 --> 00:32:38.037 Energy travels through our body through something called nadis. 00:32:38.037 --> 00:32:47.761 Anatomically, you can't cut yourself open and see all these nadis, but there's 72,000 energetic highways and energetic channels that run through our body. 00:32:47.761 --> 00:32:58.250 There's one place in the body where they all intersect the belly, the stomach, where I call it the time square of your energy system, also 80% of your health and your happiness. 00:32:58.250 --> 00:33:02.701 So if you're not breathing deep into your belly, you are missing out on life. 00:33:02.701 --> 00:33:05.013 There's just so much magic there. 00:33:05.013 --> 00:33:06.417 So that was my issue. 00:33:06.417 --> 00:33:07.641 I was breathing in my belly. 00:33:07.641 --> 00:33:11.196 I was actually holding my breath and it was trauma. 00:33:11.196 --> 00:33:16.675 It was emotions that I was storing in my belly that was trapped there and I couldn't get them to, to release. 00:33:16.675 --> 00:33:19.583 Even after 14 ayahuasca ceremonies still couldn't. 00:33:19.583 --> 00:33:25.616 And that's because the breath is the only thing that's connected to all 72,000 natties and that's what blew my mind. 00:33:26.250 --> 00:33:30.060 Wow, that's amazing, but people need to be consistent with that. 00:33:30.060 --> 00:33:33.921 They can't just do it once or twice and think it's going to go away. 00:33:33.921 --> 00:33:36.198 It sounds like you have to be consistent with this. 00:33:38.810 --> 00:33:39.432 I did gonna go away. 00:33:39.432 --> 00:33:41.117 It sounds like you have to be consistent with this. 00:33:41.117 --> 00:33:41.880 You know to how I did it. 00:33:41.880 --> 00:33:45.631 Normally I'd say yes for anything, but I did it one time, because you only get to remove the blockage once. 00:33:45.691 --> 00:33:49.925 Then it starts flowing oh, I see, yeah, yeah that that's what happened. 00:33:50.288 --> 00:33:56.002 The blockage is gone and then I like started to like come back to me and I became actually more smarter. 00:33:56.002 --> 00:34:00.136 I didn't know how good I was, because Wow, you seem smart. 00:34:00.871 --> 00:34:03.199 Well, no, but I was dumb, then I'm not dumb. 00:34:03.199 --> 00:34:04.334 No, I get it. 00:34:04.809 --> 00:34:08.623 What I mean is there is even in our Western science. 00:34:08.623 --> 00:34:10.891 There's a clear connection between gut brain. 00:34:11.813 --> 00:34:15.483 The gut is the second brain and my brain was foggy. 00:34:15.483 --> 00:34:17.206 I couldn't even think straight, like. 00:34:17.206 --> 00:34:25.635 And when all that started to work, get work again, I was like, oh my God, I can, I can see, I can, I can, like, think better, and so many things changed. 00:34:25.635 --> 00:34:33.239 And then from there, I feel like it was more of a cascading of clearings and healings that I slowly became, got stronger. 00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:40.641 I got physically stronger, mentally stronger, but immediately that started and then within months I was a completely different person. 00:34:42.769 --> 00:34:49.139 Wow, that's amazing and I'd love to have you come back and maybe do a breathwork session on my YouTube channel. 00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:51.242 Yeah, that'd be cool, do it live. 00:34:51.643 --> 00:34:52.405 Yeah, that'd be fun. 00:34:52.405 --> 00:34:52.905 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:34:52.905 --> 00:34:56.356 Just so everybody else out there knows that yeah, we could do that. 00:34:56.356 --> 00:35:00.784 But our tagline for the Electric Spirit Podcast is igniting your spirit. 00:35:04.454 --> 00:35:06.501 How do you ignite your spirit, curtis? 00:35:06.501 --> 00:35:13.655 Ignite your spirit, well, I think for me, the obvious that comes to my mind is doing what you love. 00:35:13.655 --> 00:35:17.146 Right, because stress doesn't come from doing a bunch of things. 00:35:17.146 --> 00:35:20.920 It comes from doing a bunch of things that don't bring you joy and passion. 00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:33.541 And when you find yourself getting excited about anything, you have to follow that joy, follow that excitement as if it's your internal compass on this planet. 00:35:33.541 --> 00:35:37.860 That is your North Star, and finding things that light you up. 00:35:37.860 --> 00:35:46.382 And I realized, the more you're in a higher vibration and frequency, your reality changes, which means like new people come into your life, new opportunities come into your life. 00:35:46.382 --> 00:35:48.190 You think differently about yourself. 00:35:48.190 --> 00:35:55.150 So the key to it is really following that joy, wherever it may be and however small or trivial. 00:35:55.150 --> 00:35:57.597 You may think that that is. 00:35:57.597 --> 00:35:58.438 Follow that. 00:35:59.460 --> 00:36:00.362 Oh, that's wonderful. 00:36:00.362 --> 00:36:04.739 And before we close out, do you want to leave the audience with anything? 00:36:04.739 --> 00:36:05.983 Or before we go? 00:36:07.590 --> 00:36:23.583 You know I don't want to depart any wisdom on them from what they didn't already grab from this, but I'd like to probably take the time to congratulate them, you know, for making it this far on this hard earth journey they call Harvard of the universe. 00:36:23.583 --> 00:36:29.197 It's not easy and you know, we don't have to pretend that life is easy, it's not, it's, it's hard. 00:36:29.197 --> 00:36:38.992 And you know, everyone's going through something that they're not talking about and it'd be really nice if you had, you know, not just compassion for those people but compassion for yourself. 00:36:38.992 --> 00:36:45.358 And you know, and and just be proud of yourself, you know, for listening to podcasts like this. 00:36:45.358 --> 00:37:02.239 You know it's not an ordinary podcast, you're not an ordinary person, you know, and you, you have to be at a certain level of awareness and consciousness and honest your spiritual journey to be able to, you know, to be here today making it this this far. 00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:04.764 So, yeah, I mean, pat yourself on the back. 00:37:05.670 --> 00:37:21.534 Oh, I love that and I hope you, I, you can come back, curtis, I'll come back, yeah that would be great and thank you so much, and they can find you on your website, curtisleethomascom. 00:37:21.534 --> 00:37:21.795 Right. 00:37:22.317 --> 00:37:22.557 Yes. 00:37:22.759 --> 00:37:25.385 Okay, cool, all right, thank you so much. 00:37:25.766 --> 00:37:26.650 Thank you for having me Thanks. 00:37:27.291 --> 00:37:34.291 Thank you for listening to the Electric Spirit Podcast with your host, psychic medium Jamie Lynn. 00:37:34.291 --> 00:37:38.679 Find us on Instagram at Electric electric spirit podcast. 00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:47.360 Be sure to join us next time, recharging your energy, recharging your magic, recharging your spirit. 00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:49.344 Until then, ciao.
