42. Your Mind Is the Missing Link to Healing—Here’s Why… with Jim Curtis

WEBVTT
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.800
Welcome to Rooted in Wellness with Me, Wellness Advocate, and Holistic Nutritionist,
2
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:11.100
Mona Sharma.
3
00:00:11.100 --> 00:00:17.240
Together we will take a journey to discover natural healing practices from imbalance to balance,
4
00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:21.960
guided by ancient wisdom and modern scientific insights.
5
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:27.960
I was raised living summers on an ashram, so I learned early on that food is medicine,
6
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:32.320
and your kitchen is your greatest source of health care and prevention.
7
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:37.120
After facing two heart surgeries, anxiety, and weight challenges, I discovered that just
8
00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:41.400
because your symptoms are common doesn't mean that they are normal.
9
00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:46.240
Together with some incredible guests, we will explore the power of our mind, body, and
10
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:51.240
soul connection, returning to our roots to rediscover our greatest well-being.
11
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:06.080
We've been taught that healing is about what we eat, how we move, and the supplements
12
00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:07.240
that we take.
13
00:01:07.240 --> 00:01:13.160
But what if real, lasting transformation has less to do with green juice and workout routines,
14
00:01:13.160 --> 00:01:18.920
and more to do with the way that we think, we feel, and how we process our emotions?
15
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.920
This week I'm sitting down with Jim Curtis, a healer, a hypnotherapist, and an expert
16
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:28.880
in neuro-linguistic programming, which is NLP, to explore how our subconscious patterns
17
00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:33.760
emotional inflammation and unprocessed trauma affect our health in ways that we don't
18
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:35.280
even realize.
19
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:40.120
In this episode of rooted in wellness, we dive deep into the mind, body connection, why
20
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:46.080
chronic pain, illness, and anxiety are often symptoms of stored emotions, and how shifting
21
00:01:46.080 --> 00:01:49.400
our inner world can change everything.
22
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:54.920
Modern shares the science behind hypnotherapy, NLP which I love, and somatic healing, breaking
23
00:01:54.920 --> 00:02:01.360
down how these tools can help to rewire our subconscious, release old stories, and create
24
00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:03.640
space for healing to begin.
25
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:08.240
We also unpack the most common limiting beliefs that keep most people stuck in their wellness
26
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.600
journey, and how to finally break free.
27
00:02:10.600 --> 00:02:16.600
Plus, we get into why healing isn't just about habits and discipline, but about frequency,
28
00:02:16.600 --> 00:02:22.520
about energy, and learning to shift into a state where transformation flows effortlessly.
29
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:26.960
Jim Curtis is a leader in the space of mind body healing, with a background in nutrition,
30
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:29.840
functional medicine, and behavioral psychology.
31
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:34.080
His work bridges the gap between science and holistic healing, helping people reprogram
32
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:38.600
their minds, regulate their nervous systems, and step into their highest potential.
33
00:02:46.600 --> 00:02:49.560
Jim Curtis, welcome to rooted in wellness.
34
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:50.560
So happy to be here.
35
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:51.560
Yeah.
36
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:52.560
I feel like I manifested you.
37
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.840
I mean, I've seen you've done it, right?
38
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:56.840
Exactly.
39
00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:00.280
Yeah, learning about your story, there was just so many synergies between you and I.
40
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:04.920
I read this, my Angela quote, about when you feel at your heels, go out in the world and
41
00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:09.080
heal other people, and that's what came to mind when I was hearing about your story.
42
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:10.080
Yeah.
43
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:14.880
I have these groups that I run, and as I run the group and the people are in the group,
44
00:03:14.880 --> 00:03:19.640
and one of the things I always say is that to you're going to want to heal other people
45
00:03:19.640 --> 00:03:23.120
when you're done with this group, you're going to want to go out and do something.
46
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:28.200
And to every time I run a group, I heal a little bit more, that it's almost as much
47
00:03:28.200 --> 00:03:34.080
for me as it is for them, I'm realizing as I'm teaching that I'm healing at the same
48
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:35.080
time.
49
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:36.080
Absolutely.
50
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:37.080
Yeah.
51
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.240
It's kind of like the evolution I feel of my healing is often guided by the work that
52
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.400
I'm doing with my clients, which feels really good as a gift.
53
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:47.960
Right, before we dive in, I was sharing with you that this podcast is all about ancient
54
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:52.560
wisdom in our modern world, and really how we confuse the two together, but I'd love
55
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:57.400
to start out, what are three things that cause you to feel more rooted, either in yourself
56
00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.760
and who you are, or your healing, or your life?
57
00:04:00.760 --> 00:04:02.160
What are those three things and why?
58
00:04:02.160 --> 00:04:06.360
You were kind enough to give me these beforehand, which I'd love to, because really, I don't
59
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.760
think about that stuff, but you feel it.
60
00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:15.560
And so, as I was thinking about it, the three things are one, my family and my dog.
61
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:21.080
If I don't speak to them, I mean, extended family, sister is father.
62
00:04:21.080 --> 00:04:24.320
And if I don't speak to them for a while, I feel like I'm adrift.
63
00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:27.720
Well, most people don't say that about their family, just saying.
64
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:28.720
They ground me.
65
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:29.720
They ground me.
66
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:30.720
They're great.
67
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:37.200
And certainly animals, but most importantly, this sweet little mut that I have, I just,
68
00:04:37.200 --> 00:04:38.520
I die for this dog.
69
00:04:38.520 --> 00:04:40.760
And without him, I feel a little adrift.
70
00:04:40.760 --> 00:04:41.760
Yeah.
71
00:04:41.760 --> 00:04:42.760
Beautiful.
72
00:04:42.760 --> 00:04:43.760
What about practices?
73
00:04:43.760 --> 00:04:48.240
Like, as a practitioner, people imagine, people like you to, you know, have some set checkpoints
74
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:49.240
every single morning.
75
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:50.240
Do you follow those things?
76
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:51.240
You're doing it.
77
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:52.240
Yeah, I need a lot of a long time.
78
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:57.960
So, it's almost a contrary to, like, needing my family and animals, I need to spend time
79
00:04:57.960 --> 00:05:02.960
alone where I meditate or, you know, just write or catch up or just do work alone where
80
00:05:02.960 --> 00:05:03.960
I can think.
81
00:05:03.960 --> 00:05:07.800
And that's a big one for me, so I spend hours a day alone.
82
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:12.200
It's interesting because we think that in order to feel rooted, we often have to be doing
83
00:05:12.200 --> 00:05:14.320
something when often it's nothing at all.
84
00:05:14.320 --> 00:05:18.160
And I think a lot of people, myself included, it's hard to stay still.
85
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.880
Yeah, I don't have, I don't have a problem staying still.
86
00:05:21.880 --> 00:05:24.520
Sometimes I have to be like, all right, get up and get out of the house.
87
00:05:24.520 --> 00:05:27.600
It's been 24 hours, it's time to go outside.
88
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:28.600
I hear.
89
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.640
So on the flip side, I'm sure you've worked with people like this.
90
00:05:31.640 --> 00:05:36.840
When it comes to wellness these days, treating our wellness rituals becomes like a checklist.
91
00:05:36.840 --> 00:05:38.120
It's habitual.
92
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:41.600
So for a lot of people, it's like, you know, every day, I write meditated, did my breath
93
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:46.800
work, woke up, did my red light, whatever it is, but they're not dropping into the experience.
94
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.560
So are they really rooting them or are they uprooting them?
95
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:50.560
So...
96
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:51.560
Oh, that's interesting.
97
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:55.540
Yeah, do you have practices that you notice when you drift, you're uprooting yourself
98
00:05:55.540 --> 00:05:56.540
from feeling great?
99
00:05:56.540 --> 00:06:01.600
Yeah, and when you position it that way, so food for me, right, is something that I'm
100
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:03.640
particular about.
101
00:06:03.640 --> 00:06:08.880
Because although we'll get into it, I'm sure, but you can, yeah, I always say it doesn't
102
00:06:08.880 --> 00:06:13.120
matter how much green juice you drink, if you haven't done the inner work, you're going
103
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:14.800
to be unhealthy and miserable.
104
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:19.120
But food for me is something that I pay attention to, a lot of attention to.
105
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:23.720
And it becomes a thing where I don't even know that I'm eating sometimes.
106
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:29.240
I have the food that I eat and I like, I got it, I got it set and I like get that over
107
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:31.160
with and go.
108
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:34.320
And when I realize that when I just kind of sit down and actually think about chewing
109
00:06:34.320 --> 00:06:38.320
and think about like, oh, how grateful I am to have food and like, how this is nourishing
110
00:06:38.320 --> 00:06:39.320
my body.
111
00:06:39.320 --> 00:06:44.120
And sometimes even like a blessing for the food that I'm eating, it changes things.
112
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:49.560
But that's one thing that I uproot with is around food.
113
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:50.880
I love that you brought that up.
114
00:06:50.880 --> 00:06:52.640
No one's set that before.
115
00:06:52.640 --> 00:06:56.400
And one of the key things from the astram, when I was there, whenever you go to an astram,
116
00:06:56.400 --> 00:06:59.600
there's no electronics on the table at all when you eat.
117
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.000
You're sitting in community, you're chewing your food.
118
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:06.400
Often there's no conversation because it's eating is this sacred act for the body and
119
00:07:06.400 --> 00:07:07.400
people.
120
00:07:07.400 --> 00:07:08.400
I acknowledge it as so.
121
00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:09.400
It's so powerful.
122
00:07:09.400 --> 00:07:10.400
Yeah.
123
00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:12.400
And then we get distracted when we come back to the real world.
124
00:07:12.400 --> 00:07:13.400
Yeah.
125
00:07:13.400 --> 00:07:14.400
That's an important one.
126
00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:19.200
I did a retreat recently in Petaluma, California, where all meals were silent, right?
127
00:07:19.200 --> 00:07:23.320
And you had a focus and you had to sit down and some people you could see were really
128
00:07:23.320 --> 00:07:28.040
struggling because they're like, yeah, sitting down to eat and actually being, so you had
129
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:33.400
to count your bites and chew and you had to be silent and no definitely no electronics
130
00:07:33.400 --> 00:07:34.400
anywhere.
131
00:07:34.400 --> 00:07:36.400
And it made such a profound effect.
132
00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:39.640
It had such a, like it was almost a meditation.
133
00:07:39.640 --> 00:07:40.640
Absolutely.
134
00:07:40.640 --> 00:07:43.600
And do you feel like that's become you?
135
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.640
Like do you feel like it's something that you're conscious of when you're not practicing?
136
00:07:46.640 --> 00:07:47.640
No.
137
00:07:47.640 --> 00:07:48.640
No.
138
00:07:48.640 --> 00:07:49.640
Yeah.
139
00:07:49.640 --> 00:07:50.640
That's still one I struggle with.
140
00:07:50.640 --> 00:07:51.640
Yeah.
141
00:07:51.640 --> 00:07:52.640
Right?
142
00:07:52.640 --> 00:07:53.640
Because I'm like, all right, what else do I have to do?
143
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:59.760
These clients, this work, this, my physical activity that I want to get in and it's like,
144
00:07:59.760 --> 00:08:01.160
okay, let's eat.
145
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:06.640
And so when I don't focus on it, I become uprooted and then I have to bring myself back
146
00:08:06.640 --> 00:08:12.840
to let's, let's, you know, like, let's get a little, let's get a little bit more mindful
147
00:08:12.840 --> 00:08:13.840
of it.
148
00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:14.840
Yeah.
149
00:08:14.840 --> 00:08:20.080
I would say that example exactly is a way that I catch myself when I'm drifting.
150
00:08:20.080 --> 00:08:24.200
And I know, I'm catching myself saying you know that there's a better way to do this
151
00:08:24.200 --> 00:08:25.520
and you're not doing it.
152
00:08:25.520 --> 00:08:26.520
Right.
153
00:08:26.520 --> 00:08:27.520
Yeah.
154
00:08:27.520 --> 00:08:28.520
It's disruptive.
155
00:08:28.520 --> 00:08:29.520
Yeah.
156
00:08:29.520 --> 00:08:30.520
Let's put it at that.
157
00:08:30.520 --> 00:08:31.520
Then do you have shame?
158
00:08:31.520 --> 00:08:32.520
Yeah.
159
00:08:32.520 --> 00:08:33.520
I feel there's a lot of guilt, right?
160
00:08:33.520 --> 00:08:36.160
If you're a wellness practitioner and this is why these, these questions on this podcast
161
00:08:36.160 --> 00:08:40.400
are so important because I feel like people have the expectation that we've got it figured
162
00:08:40.400 --> 00:08:43.880
out that every single day our life looks glorious.
163
00:08:43.880 --> 00:08:44.880
We're in alignment.
164
00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:45.880
We're eating stillness.
165
00:08:45.880 --> 00:08:48.840
There's no distraction, which isn't the case, right?
166
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.960
We have these principles that we're trying to guide us in this really chaotic world.
167
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:53.960
Mm-hmm.
168
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:54.960
Yeah.
169
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:59.080
And that's when I'll have to like suit my own guilt and shame that if I didn't do, like
170
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:02.440
I know that I should be doing this and I probably tell people to do it.
171
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.400
And then when I don't do it, I have to go back and be like, that's the shame.
172
00:09:05.400 --> 00:09:06.880
And where does your shame come from?
173
00:09:06.880 --> 00:09:10.240
Like, it's obviously, it's triggering something within you.
174
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:11.880
That's a little memory within you.
175
00:09:11.880 --> 00:09:12.880
Yeah.
176
00:09:12.880 --> 00:09:14.880
Have you done the introspection to understanding?
177
00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:15.880
100%.
178
00:09:15.880 --> 00:09:16.880
Yeah.
179
00:09:16.880 --> 00:09:17.880
100%.
180
00:09:17.920 --> 00:09:21.840
All of our shame comes from the childhood stuff, right, way back when.
181
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:27.440
And mine was always, I am bad, you know, with a difficult father, with kind of a family
182
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:32.800
relationship that was chaotic and like, punishments were severe.
183
00:09:32.800 --> 00:09:39.600
There was this feeling of like guilt around abuse and that the eye as a child learned that
184
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.160
I was must have been bad.
185
00:09:42.160 --> 00:09:46.800
And so when something comes up where I think I'm not meeting someone's expectations or perhaps
186
00:09:46.800 --> 00:09:51.480
I've set an expectation that I'm not following, then that that shame comes up itself imposed
187
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:52.480
at this point.
188
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:53.480
100%.
189
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:58.920
And then you have to realize that that is a constructive identity and that that's just
190
00:09:58.920 --> 00:09:59.920
a program.
191
00:09:59.920 --> 00:10:00.920
A program.
192
00:10:00.920 --> 00:10:02.520
We're going to talk a lot of it programs.
193
00:10:02.520 --> 00:10:07.440
For me, I would say last year, the most ironic lesson that I learned, the shame that came
194
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:12.360
up for me, if I'm not meditating every day, if I'm not eating an Ayurvedic style meal,
195
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:17.440
if I'm eating with distraction, all the practices at the ashram, then like you, then it brings
196
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:18.440
up shame.
197
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.240
But the twisted thing, like the intention of the ashram was good, the intention of your
198
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:27.560
father obviously stems from from love, but at the ashram, I learned that in order, if
199
00:10:27.560 --> 00:10:30.560
I was doing those practices, it was to become better.
200
00:10:30.560 --> 00:10:35.840
So I'm meditating to become one with God or to achieve freedom or liberation, right, and
201
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.640
I do these practices every day in order to become that.
202
00:10:38.640 --> 00:10:42.920
So if I'm constantly trying to be better and do these practices to be better, then I'm
203
00:10:42.920 --> 00:10:48.960
never fully happy with who I am and where I am now, and it was like the biggest ah.
204
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:49.960
That's so good.
205
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:50.960
Thank you.
206
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:51.960
Yeah.
207
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:54.120
So now I just give myself a little bit more grace.
208
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:57.880
So my meditation might not be sitting for 30 minutes, so my B is something in the shower
209
00:10:57.880 --> 00:11:03.040
at where I'm experiencing gratitude or out for a walk, but just showing to myself that
210
00:11:03.040 --> 00:11:05.960
I can decide how to not feel.
211
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:10.280
That's one thing that I say to everyone, I say to myself too, and that's a great way
212
00:11:10.280 --> 00:11:12.160
to put it, giving yourself grace.
213
00:11:12.160 --> 00:11:17.280
But I always say you're not doing it exactly right, you're not doing it wrong, and at every
214
00:11:17.280 --> 00:11:21.800
meditation I lead or every hypnosis that I lead, it threw out at us and you're doing it
215
00:11:21.800 --> 00:11:22.800
exactly right.
216
00:11:22.800 --> 00:11:23.800
I love that.
217
00:11:23.800 --> 00:11:28.640
And it's life, right, you can't do it wrong, you're meant to screw up.
218
00:11:28.640 --> 00:11:33.360
This is part of the reason that I was so excited to meet with you because I would say
219
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:38.840
the common thread over all the clients that I worked with in the past 15 years is that
220
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:44.160
it's never just about the food, the diet, the supplement protocol or the movement practice.
221
00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:50.040
There is this entire emotional body and spiritual body that's begging to be expressed and to
222
00:11:50.040 --> 00:11:51.040
be heard.
223
00:11:51.040 --> 00:11:56.160
And so often when we address those things, then all of a sudden choosing the right foods
224
00:11:56.160 --> 00:12:00.720
becomes easy, right, you're choosing because you're in alignment.
225
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:04.360
So let's talk about this concept of frequency first.
226
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:07.720
This is something that you speak to with your clients a lot, vibration is something that
227
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:09.320
you talk to a lot.
228
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.120
How do you describe it to your clients in a way that they're not, you know, thinking that
229
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.520
is this woo-woo concept, that it's actually grounded in science?
230
00:12:16.520 --> 00:12:19.560
Yeah, I go pretty woo-woo with it.
231
00:12:19.560 --> 00:12:24.960
Actually, I'm not afraid of the woo-woo set up.
232
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:29.400
We go down rabbit holes of like woo-woo, your mind is like you got to believe in something
233
00:12:29.400 --> 00:12:30.880
bigger than yourself.
234
00:12:30.880 --> 00:12:35.480
But if scientifically and a lot of people are studying this, like the Joseph spends
235
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:40.440
is of the world, where once it was woo-woo and it was you had to be a yoga teacher or someone
236
00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:44.120
to talk about chakras and the energy that you're admitting, now we know that we have an
237
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:46.760
energy body and we have meridians and frequency.
238
00:12:46.760 --> 00:12:51.280
When we meditate, it can be measured that our energy expands and contracts.
239
00:12:51.280 --> 00:12:56.960
And so if we can focus on that, when we focus on feelings of love and gratitude, it's
240
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:01.760
been measured now that our energy actually expands.
241
00:13:01.760 --> 00:13:06.640
Our heart goes into coherence with our mind and then the actual rhythms that are tracked
242
00:13:06.640 --> 00:13:08.920
even out and become smoother.
243
00:13:08.920 --> 00:13:14.480
And so when we get there, you know, the woo-woo is, oh my god, like yes, of course I'm made
244
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:15.960
of energy.
245
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:21.880
Every part of me from the atom down is energy and to think that I'm separate from everything
246
00:13:21.880 --> 00:13:25.360
else that I'm not the energy of the universe, that I'm not the energy of nature, that I'm
247
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:30.040
not the energy of a wave, that I'm only separate from that.
248
00:13:30.040 --> 00:13:35.080
We start to realize that there's oneness and that we're not the wave or the ocean.
249
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:41.000
And do you say looking back your healing journey and your story kind of fueled your muscle
250
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:42.880
of belief around this?
251
00:13:42.880 --> 00:13:45.840
Yeah, if you necessitated it.
252
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:46.840
Yeah.
253
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:47.840
It did.
254
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:52.440
So maybe share a little bit with the audience about your healing journey.
255
00:13:52.440 --> 00:14:00.000
Suddenly, so I was an athlete and I was, you know, I didn't, you know, I guess growing
256
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:04.600
up, I came from, you know, blue collar working family and Boston messages.
257
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:08.680
We weren't talking about energy, we weren't talking about emotions, you know, we weren't,
258
00:14:08.680 --> 00:14:10.000
we weren't talking about any of that.
259
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:14.000
We were talking about, you know, get to practice on time and do your schoolwork.
260
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:18.680
My father used to say, there's no swim team at Bradleys, if you don't Bradleys is.
261
00:14:18.680 --> 00:14:19.680
I've heard of Bradleys.
262
00:14:19.680 --> 00:14:20.680
He's like, came up.
263
00:14:20.680 --> 00:14:21.680
He came up.
264
00:14:21.680 --> 00:14:22.680
Right.
265
00:14:22.680 --> 00:14:25.840
So that was his way, a very craft way of saying, you know, you're, you're not going to like
266
00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:28.880
have the luxury of being able to do these athletics.
267
00:14:28.880 --> 00:14:32.040
If you're like trying to make ends meet at Bradleys, go to school.
268
00:14:32.040 --> 00:14:33.040
Right, right, right.
269
00:14:33.040 --> 00:14:35.000
And so, you know, that was the mentality.
270
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:41.920
So at 20, when I became really ill and couldn't figure it out, my 20, 21 years old.
271
00:14:41.920 --> 00:14:46.840
And I, I just stood up one day and was getting out of the shower and I couldn't feel heat
272
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:48.160
on my left side.
273
00:14:48.160 --> 00:14:52.360
I couldn't feel heat on my left foot and I was like, that's really strange, but I'm
274
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:53.360
going to ignore that.
275
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:54.360
Yeah.
276
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:58.080
I'm going to just, let's push that, you know, nothing's wrong, nothing unusual here until
277
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:03.120
that started to move up, up my leg, up into my thigh, up into my stomach.
278
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:06.880
And I started to feel pain and just really get sick.
279
00:15:06.880 --> 00:15:12.200
And so I told my mother who was an emergency room nurse and she was the type of woman that
280
00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:17.000
worked in Boston emergency rooms, not the type of woman she worked in, Boston emergency
281
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:18.000
rooms.
282
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:23.480
She was dealing with gunshot victims, like extreme wounds.
283
00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:24.480
Yeah.
284
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:25.480
Yeah.
285
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:26.480
Yeah.
286
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:27.480
So she never got rattled.
287
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:28.480
Right.
288
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:29.480
How great do you ever?
289
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:30.480
Ever.
290
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:31.480
Yeah.
291
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:32.480
Ever.
292
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:33.480
She had like nerves of steel.
293
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:37.000
And when I told her, oh, by the way, I felt this numbness going up my leg and now I have
294
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:38.280
some pain and I'm feeling sick.
295
00:15:38.280 --> 00:15:39.280
She freaked.
296
00:15:39.280 --> 00:15:40.280
Wow.
297
00:15:40.280 --> 00:15:41.280
She knew there was a real issue.
298
00:15:41.280 --> 00:15:42.280
That doesn't just happen.
299
00:15:42.280 --> 00:15:43.280
Mm-hmm.
300
00:15:43.280 --> 00:15:44.280
That's not a pinch nerve.
301
00:15:44.280 --> 00:15:45.280
So I started to get all these MRIs.
302
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:48.200
And what I found was there was a lesion on my spinal cord.
303
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:52.760
It couldn't tell if it was a tumor or a lesion or what it was, but it was there.
304
00:15:52.760 --> 00:15:57.840
And so following that, I went through months and months and months of trying to figure
305
00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:58.840
out what it was.
306
00:15:58.840 --> 00:15:59.840
What was it from?
307
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:01.360
What was the reason?
308
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:06.120
And at this time, I was becoming more and more ill and more and more disabled.
309
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:08.160
And to a point where I was in a wheelchair.
310
00:16:08.160 --> 00:16:11.720
And so we've just tried to figure out what it was.
311
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:14.040
And there was never a diagnosis.
312
00:16:14.040 --> 00:16:15.040
How mine?
313
00:16:15.040 --> 00:16:16.040
Yeah.
314
00:16:16.040 --> 00:16:17.720
There was never a diagnosis.
315
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:23.800
And so this day, they say, it's transverse malinitis, which that's a fancy term of no
316
00:16:23.800 --> 00:16:24.800
diagnosis.
317
00:16:24.800 --> 00:16:25.800
Yeah, inflammation?
318
00:16:25.800 --> 00:16:26.800
Yeah.
319
00:16:26.800 --> 00:16:27.800
Yeah.
320
00:16:27.800 --> 00:16:28.800
What could it be from?
321
00:16:28.800 --> 00:16:29.800
Well, who knows?
322
00:16:29.800 --> 00:16:30.800
That's what it is.
323
00:16:30.800 --> 00:16:36.840
So often, that creates everybody who's chronically ill wants to give their illness a
324
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:37.840
name.
325
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:38.840
Right?
326
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:39.840
They want to give it a name.
327
00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:45.440
And that's because one, you know what you have into, perhaps you then know what the
328
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:46.600
treatment is.
329
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:51.280
And three, it's like, you don't have the anxiety settles because you learn how to treat
330
00:16:51.280 --> 00:16:52.920
or live with, et cetera.
331
00:16:52.920 --> 00:16:58.080
But when you're in a constant search of unawareness, trying to figure out what the diagnosis
332
00:16:58.080 --> 00:16:59.840
is, creating anxiety.
333
00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:06.920
And that became like a real teacher for me, because how do you live in a state of uncertainty?
334
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:07.920
Which is life.
335
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:08.920
Yeah.
336
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:13.080
So when we're going to die and we're ignoring that fact, right?
337
00:17:13.080 --> 00:17:18.000
So we're constantly living in a state of uncertainty and that drives a lot of us subconsciously.
338
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:21.640
And so this illness, not knowing what it is or what's going to happen to me or if I'm
339
00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:26.800
going to get sick or better, became like, okay, what do I have control over?
340
00:17:26.800 --> 00:17:31.960
And my control to a higher power, my control to something greater, more energy in my inner
341
00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:37.680
world that I'm not my body or any of this other stuff really gave me such a profound
342
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:38.840
power.
343
00:17:38.840 --> 00:17:43.240
So I'm more of a more of a freedom, more of an experience than ever, anything else
344
00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:44.240
that I've ever done.
345
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:46.640
How could you trust that at such a young age?
346
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:48.400
It took years.
347
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:55.440
But what I did do is I started to travel around the world, going to 200 different healers.
348
00:17:55.440 --> 00:18:00.360
From Ecuadorian shaman to grandmasters of Kung Fu to like the Mayo clinic.
349
00:18:00.360 --> 00:18:03.920
And what I recognize from that is like some people are going to take advantage of you
350
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:05.400
in the wellness world.
351
00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:12.080
And other people have such a profound power to transcend the natural laws of the world
352
00:18:12.080 --> 00:18:14.160
and they don't have Instagram profiles.
353
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:15.160
Right.
354
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:16.160
Absolutely.
355
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:17.160
Yeah.
356
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:18.160
Off the grid.
357
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:19.480
Were you in pain when you were traveling?
358
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:23.000
I was in a tremendous amount of pain until a couple of years ago.
359
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:24.000
Okay.
360
00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:25.000
Veronica.
361
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:26.000
Crazy pain.
362
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:27.600
So I want to know about that.
363
00:18:27.600 --> 00:18:32.240
But in this journey with the healers, the people that could kind of transcend that for
364
00:18:32.240 --> 00:18:36.720
you, I can imagine that they weren't the people preaching that there was one way to
365
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:37.720
heal your body.
366
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:38.880
And that was the way.
367
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:43.240
I can imagine that they were probably open to your spiritual body kind of needing to
368
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:44.240
be heard.
369
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:46.240
And there could be a few things that needed to be addressed.
370
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:47.240
Yeah.
371
00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:48.240
One hundred percent.
372
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:50.760
A lot of people worked with energy and like this idea of energy.
373
00:18:50.760 --> 00:18:56.240
And then there was like the, you know, the most mainstream folks, like Tony Robbins had
374
00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:57.960
a profound impact on me.
375
00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:03.080
You know, when I first realized that, oh, this thing called neurologistic programming can
376
00:19:03.080 --> 00:19:06.360
change your life because you're changing your identity.
377
00:19:06.360 --> 00:19:09.360
So I went to one of his events and I'm like, yes, this is it.
378
00:19:09.360 --> 00:19:10.360
Yeah.
379
00:19:10.360 --> 00:19:11.360
And I made a goal.
380
00:19:11.360 --> 00:19:12.360
I'm going to work with Tony Robbins.
381
00:19:12.360 --> 00:19:13.360
No way.
382
00:19:13.360 --> 00:19:14.360
Yeah.
383
00:19:14.360 --> 00:19:18.880
And ten years later, I got a chance to work with Sage and Tony Robbins directly on a
384
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:19.880
lot of project.
385
00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:20.880
And it's just so nice.
386
00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:21.880
How beautiful.
387
00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:22.880
Yeah.
388
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:23.880
Things progress.
389
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:29.760
And I realized very quickly working with people, the quality of their language and their
390
00:19:29.760 --> 00:19:35.640
personal beliefs dictated all of their decisions throughout the day, despite their best efforts
391
00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:39.440
and choices, really, really smart people, really committed to healing.
392
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:42.760
But there was something within them that was just prevent, it was like a lock preventing
393
00:19:42.760 --> 00:19:44.520
them from changing.
394
00:19:44.520 --> 00:19:46.960
And then it became about dismantling that.
395
00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:51.440
You do a lot of this dismantling in your world and a phrase that I love that you use
396
00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:53.160
is emotional inflammation.
397
00:19:53.160 --> 00:19:54.160
Yeah.
398
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:58.800
I feel looking back, you know, when I was sharing my story, the doctors never, they just
399
00:19:58.800 --> 00:20:03.120
wanted to know how much you're smoking, how much you eating out, how much alcohol is
400
00:20:03.120 --> 00:20:04.120
there.
401
00:20:04.120 --> 00:20:05.120
And that was it.
402
00:20:05.120 --> 00:20:06.120
They never asked about my emotions.
403
00:20:06.120 --> 00:20:07.120
They never asked about sadness.
404
00:20:07.120 --> 00:20:09.640
They really didn't even ask about my environment.
405
00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:14.360
So can you describe what this means from your eyes, what it is and how we can heal from it?
406
00:20:14.360 --> 00:20:16.720
And it's, I love that you brought that up.
407
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:22.520
I just went for a checkup with the best neurologist in New York City just a little while ago.
408
00:20:22.520 --> 00:20:24.440
And he said, boy, you're doing great.
409
00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:25.440
What if you changed?
410
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:26.440
What are you doing?
411
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:31.360
I was like, well, I've really regulated my emotions and I stopped eating sugar.
412
00:20:31.360 --> 00:20:33.640
And he's like, no sugar at all.
413
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:35.360
And he's like, how do you live?
414
00:20:35.360 --> 00:20:36.360
What do you eat then?
415
00:20:36.360 --> 00:20:37.640
And I was like, oh, I don't eat grains and bread either.
416
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.800
And he's like, oh, then what do you, like, oh, you're, and so he kind of scoffed at that.
417
00:20:41.800 --> 00:20:48.920
And I was like, oh, oh, but emotional regulation, right, controls your energy and all the
418
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:50.600
the best pharmacy in the world.
419
00:20:50.600 --> 00:20:58.840
All the best drugs are within us and our pineal gland is a wonderful access point for all these.
420
00:20:58.840 --> 00:21:01.080
So our emotions control the chemicals in our body.
421
00:21:01.080 --> 00:21:03.480
We know we all know this and I'm no expert on that.
422
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:10.280
But I can recognize is that when I'm in a state of stress, when I'm in a state of fear and concern,
423
00:21:10.280 --> 00:21:17.160
when I'm in my ego, most of all, that I'm creating an environment within my body that is
424
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:21.640
completely inflamed and shrinking the energy around my body.
425
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:29.400
And when I can shift into the higher, the higher self, the spirit self, the one that says,
426
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:37.720
I am, not I am this, just this says I am, that one I immediately feel better.
427
00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:39.720
And my body feels stronger.
428
00:21:40.360 --> 00:21:41.720
And the other day, I was swimming.
429
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:44.040
That's what I do for exercise now, I do a lot of swimming.
430
00:21:44.040 --> 00:21:46.200
So I'm swimming, swimming, swimming, swimming, right.
431
00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:51.080
And this little pool and the basement of this really gross building in New York City and these
432
00:21:51.080 --> 00:21:56.120
village, there's not many beautiful pools like in California, like in these village of New York City.
433
00:21:56.120 --> 00:21:58.920
So I found this pool, I'm swimming and it's in a basement.
434
00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:01.640
And I started to think about like all the stuff that I had to do.
435
00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:03.720
And I'm like, oh my god, I forgot to call that person.
436
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:04.840
They're going to be upset.
437
00:22:04.840 --> 00:22:09.480
And it's like, oh, I didn't respond to that email and I hope this client is getting what they need.
438
00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:13.160
And I'm like, I really hope that I'm helping them and I don't know if they,
439
00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:16.120
and I found myself standing up in the middle of the pool.
440
00:22:16.120 --> 00:22:18.520
I just, I had stopped swimming without even knowing it.
441
00:22:18.520 --> 00:22:20.440
And I felt so weak I was standing up in the middle of the pool.
442
00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:21.400
Oh my gosh, yeah.
443
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.320
And I was like, oh, okay, I can change this.
444
00:22:23.320 --> 00:22:24.520
How do I change this?
445
00:22:24.520 --> 00:22:27.480
So I started to think of the beautiful things that I'm grateful for.
446
00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:31.720
I started to think of sunsets and sunrises and like holding hands with a lover.
447
00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:34.200
I started to think of all the potential that I had in the world.
448
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:37.160
And people excited about being helped.
449
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:39.560
I started to think of all those beautiful things, right?
450
00:22:39.560 --> 00:22:42.760
And I could feel myself relax and then get excited.
451
00:22:42.760 --> 00:22:45.320
And I was swimming stronger than I had been before.
452
00:22:45.320 --> 00:22:49.560
And like that, just emotional regulation, smoothing out,
453
00:22:49.560 --> 00:22:53.400
like taking out the information of my emotions created such a profound effect.
454
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:53.960
I love that.
455
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:54.920
And people talk often.
456
00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:56.600
We focus so much on the mind.
457
00:22:56.600 --> 00:22:58.280
Oh, that was the power of your mind.
458
00:22:58.280 --> 00:23:00.280
But I think it was also the power of your body.
459
00:23:00.280 --> 00:23:05.240
Because when you were imagining the gratitude and the love you came into your body, right?
460
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:09.000
You kind of turned down the distraction of the mind and the thoughts that you were having
461
00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:10.920
to come into what felt really, really good.
462
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:11.400
Yeah.
463
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:12.840
And I like that concept.
464
00:23:12.840 --> 00:23:16.280
And I think that this is something that we need to keep anchoring in over and over
465
00:23:16.280 --> 00:23:22.440
because we live in a world where we were taught to seek happiness outside of ourselves
466
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:24.200
and peace outside of ourselves.
467
00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:25.400
And now people get sick.
468
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:28.680
Oh, I need to go away somewhere or I need to go to see somebody.
469
00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:30.360
I need to go back to my healer.
470
00:23:30.360 --> 00:23:33.720
Instead of even acknowledging the potential that like,
471
00:23:33.800 --> 00:23:35.880
oh, maybe that's just within you first.
472
00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:39.960
And what if you were taught that your source energy was within you, not somewhere else?
473
00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:40.200
Yeah.
474
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:42.120
Like everything, it's a really big deal.
475
00:23:42.120 --> 00:23:44.200
I hope you understand simple stories like that.
476
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:48.200
They're a really big deal because people, we hear things and we kind of just like
477
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:51.000
flippantly toss them like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was, that's nice.
478
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:52.040
That's a nice story.
479
00:23:52.040 --> 00:23:53.640
But that's not what I can do.
480
00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:57.480
But maybe it's something that we think that we can't do because we were never taught.
481
00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:01.480
So you talked about the power of your thoughts.
482
00:24:01.560 --> 00:24:03.080
We talked about the power of emotions.
483
00:24:03.080 --> 00:24:06.920
But how can this really influence our physical health over time?
484
00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:08.920
Like if people were to really own in on this.
485
00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:10.760
And maybe this is the power of NLP.
486
00:24:10.760 --> 00:24:15.160
So maybe talk a little bit about how are you using NLP with the people that you work with
487
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.920
as a modality before you get into somatic experiences?
488
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:24.920
Yeah, quantum hypnosis, therapeutic hypnosis, NLP are all kind of those things that
489
00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:28.440
give you the access to break free from those patterns,
490
00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:32.120
programs, and limiting beliefs that will stop you from making your buy.
491
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:36.600
And I always tell these stories that I talk in stories because you're subconscious mind
492
00:24:36.600 --> 00:24:38.360
lives in story, right?
493
00:24:38.360 --> 00:24:41.160
It lives in questions and it lives in stories.
494
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:46.360
So when I ask you a question like, or I pay you a compliment, just,
495
00:24:46.360 --> 00:24:48.200
just say that I was talking about this yesterday.
496
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:52.600
But if you have trouble receiving compliments for some reason or another,
497
00:24:53.320 --> 00:24:55.080
maybe you immediately think that's not true.
498
00:24:56.040 --> 00:24:57.000
Yep.
499
00:24:57.000 --> 00:24:59.080
Craig have trouble receiving compliments.
500
00:24:59.080 --> 00:25:00.280
All right, Craig.
501
00:25:00.280 --> 00:25:03.320
So if you have trouble receiving compliments and I was to say,
502
00:25:03.320 --> 00:25:05.960
you're so good at that, or you look so good,
503
00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:09.000
or like, boy, you're the best, or something like that.
504
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:11.240
And your subconscious mind will start to go,
505
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:12.920
but they don't know this about me.
506
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:13.960
They don't know the real me.
507
00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:14.760
They don't know the real me.
508
00:25:14.760 --> 00:25:15.560
That's not true.
509
00:25:15.560 --> 00:25:17.400
And like, oh, I can't possibly accept that.
510
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:19.480
My hair looks terrible today and I know that.
511
00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:22.440
Or maybe you get lucky and it's something they actually believe.
512
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:24.040
Like I believe that I have beautiful eyes.
513
00:25:24.840 --> 00:25:28.360
So if you start to ask in either story or question,
514
00:25:29.080 --> 00:25:31.720
like, I wonder if you know how good you look in that dress.
515
00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:35.560
Then your subconscious mind will be forced to answer the question
516
00:25:35.560 --> 00:25:37.080
in the way that it was formed.
517
00:25:37.080 --> 00:25:39.720
I wonder if you know that you look so good
518
00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:42.280
and then you start to find reasons why you know.
519
00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:43.720
I wonder if you know.
520
00:25:43.720 --> 00:25:44.760
It doesn't say no, I don't.
521
00:25:44.760 --> 00:25:45.800
It doesn't work in no.
522
00:25:45.800 --> 00:25:47.960
It will say, okay, I wonder if I know that I look so good.
523
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:50.040
Okay, have I ever looked good in a dress before?
524
00:25:50.040 --> 00:25:51.320
Yes, okay.
525
00:25:51.320 --> 00:25:52.360
I probably do look good.
526
00:25:52.360 --> 00:25:55.240
And it just gets into your subconscious mind.
527
00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:59.000
So that's how NLP starts to get out of the,
528
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:01.160
what we call the critical mind,
529
00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:03.720
which is analysis, analysis, analysis, analysis,
530
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:05.400
analysis, protect, protect, protect,
531
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:06.600
fear, fear, fear, fear,
532
00:26:06.600 --> 00:26:08.280
story, story, story, story,
533
00:26:08.280 --> 00:26:10.120
and you get little holes in it.
534
00:26:10.120 --> 00:26:11.720
So you sneak into the critical mind,
535
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:13.640
start to talk to the subconscious mind.
536
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:15.960
And that's why I speak in this rhythm.
537
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:18.120
You may even notice the rhythm.
538
00:26:18.120 --> 00:26:19.560
Sometimes I have to pull myself out
539
00:26:19.560 --> 00:26:22.040
because I'll put people into a trans just listening to this.
540
00:26:22.760 --> 00:26:26.120
So that's, I speak in a rhythm that everybody,
541
00:26:26.120 --> 00:26:28.920
that even comes to my social media page.
542
00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:32.920
My goal is to immediately, emotionally regulate you.
543
00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:35.320
And all I have to do is have a cadence
544
00:26:35.320 --> 00:26:37.000
that will speak to your subconscious mind.
545
00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:40.520
And so if people are willing then,
546
00:26:40.520 --> 00:26:42.440
because when you ask that question,
547
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:45.480
again, it dropped me out of my head into my heart thinking
548
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:47.640
and feeling like, oh, well, when is the last time
549
00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:49.880
that I felt like I loved beautiful in a dress?
550
00:26:50.280 --> 00:26:53.320
Like a kind of turn down the distraction of the mind?
551
00:26:53.320 --> 00:26:56.120
So what you're calling out are these programs that people have,
552
00:26:56.120 --> 00:26:56.920
right?
553
00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:58.440
An analogy that I use is, you know,
554
00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:01.160
if people are going out into the world and they were glasses,
555
00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:03.080
but the lens that they have is yellow.
556
00:27:03.080 --> 00:27:04.440
Everything's going to look yellow.
557
00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:06.280
And they will believe that everything looks that way
558
00:27:06.280 --> 00:27:08.200
because their lens is always yellow.
559
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:11.720
And let's call that yellow frame anxiety.
560
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:14.200
And so their frame in which they live in the world
561
00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:16.600
is this frame of anxiety, right?
562
00:27:16.600 --> 00:27:18.040
And they're affirming every day,
563
00:27:18.120 --> 00:27:21.080
looking for situations that are also affirming who they are.
564
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:25.240
So I think that there's an understanding of these programs
565
00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:26.760
who are catching on like, yeah,
566
00:27:26.760 --> 00:27:28.600
I have been like that since I was a little kid
567
00:27:28.600 --> 00:27:30.360
or they're noticing patterns that they've lived it
568
00:27:30.360 --> 00:27:31.720
with since they were little.
569
00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:34.120
But how do you work with a subconscious to understand
570
00:27:34.120 --> 00:27:37.160
that they can actually be free of them and feel freedom?
571
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:39.320
Right. I love, so there are mind traps.
572
00:27:39.320 --> 00:27:41.960
And that was an awesome story,
573
00:27:42.520 --> 00:27:46.280
which made me understand confirmation bias perfectly.
574
00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:48.760
Like the yellow glasses that you told,
575
00:27:48.760 --> 00:27:51.480
like that's a perfect story that makes me understand,
576
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:54.600
oh, okay, now there's this thing called confirmation bias
577
00:27:54.600 --> 00:27:57.000
that I have a belief and I'm going to go find everything
578
00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:00.200
to protect and support that belief.
579
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:02.520
I'm going to confirm that belief everywhere I go.
580
00:28:02.520 --> 00:28:05.320
So how do you start to change this stuff?
581
00:28:05.320 --> 00:28:07.240
First, it's recognizing the truth
582
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:10.520
that we're all just a program, even our identity, right?
583
00:28:10.520 --> 00:28:13.000
Someone when we're born as a child,
584
00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:15.320
we are innocent, we are free from the program.
585
00:28:15.560 --> 00:28:17.800
We're just a computer without anything put into us
586
00:28:17.800 --> 00:28:19.400
at no software.
587
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:22.760
And so we have to recognize that we learned everything
588
00:28:22.760 --> 00:28:25.560
up into this point, everything has been inputted.
589
00:28:25.560 --> 00:28:29.000
And so if it has been inputted, we can start to change it.
590
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:30.280
So how do we start to change it?
591
00:28:30.280 --> 00:28:31.280
And some things you don't want to,
592
00:28:31.280 --> 00:28:34.120
they're incredible programs that make you super successful.
593
00:28:34.120 --> 00:28:36.800
But other programs are like, okay, what do I need to change?
594
00:28:36.800 --> 00:28:39.800
Well, let's look at the results in my life.
595
00:28:39.800 --> 00:28:42.960
Oh, I'm having a really tough time dating.
596
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:45.120
I keep finding these people that give me bread crumbs
597
00:28:45.120 --> 00:28:47.480
or love bombing and leave or whatever it is.
598
00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:49.840
Okay, then what is the belief there
599
00:28:49.840 --> 00:28:51.760
that perhaps you're not worthy enough
600
00:28:51.760 --> 00:28:53.480
or that you're not lovable?
601
00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:55.280
And so, and then how do we change that?
602
00:28:55.280 --> 00:28:57.440
Okay, so we can go into hypnosis,
603
00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:00.560
experience, different experiences of love,
604
00:29:00.560 --> 00:29:02.760
of being able to see yourself as a child
605
00:29:02.760 --> 00:29:05.240
and how beautiful and innocent and lovable you were
606
00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:07.520
and making that so emotional that becomes real
607
00:29:07.520 --> 00:29:08.720
because the subconscious mind
608
00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:11.400
doesn't know the difference between reality and fantasy.
609
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:13.800
And then come back into this world
610
00:29:13.800 --> 00:29:16.040
in a feeling of renewal
611
00:29:16.040 --> 00:29:18.880
and then being aware that you have to work on it.
612
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:20.040
So it's not a silver bullet.
613
00:29:20.040 --> 00:29:20.880
Right, right.
614
00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:22.840
There was one woman who had, I worked with that,
615
00:29:22.840 --> 00:29:25.320
she had a really difficult experience with her father.
616
00:29:25.320 --> 00:29:26.320
Really difficult.
617
00:29:26.320 --> 00:29:28.560
And she said, this is, I only one in my father
618
00:29:28.560 --> 00:29:30.800
when I, you know, this one particular time
619
00:29:30.800 --> 00:29:33.720
where he was abusive and scared her
620
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:36.040
and really created a difficult situation
621
00:29:36.040 --> 00:29:37.800
for the rest of her life.
622
00:29:37.800 --> 00:29:40.360
This one traumatic emotional relationship
623
00:29:40.360 --> 00:29:42.200
rooted in her subconscious mind
624
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:44.280
and was coloring everything else in her life.
625
00:29:44.280 --> 00:29:46.440
The decisions, the relationships, everything.
626
00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:49.040
And so I said, what would have happened
627
00:29:49.040 --> 00:29:50.240
in the best case scenario?
628
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:52.880
If this didn't happen and it did work out well,
629
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:53.720
what would have happened?
630
00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:55.600
She said, well, you know, he would have hugged me
631
00:29:55.600 --> 00:29:57.800
and loved me and told me that I can't do anything wrong
632
00:29:57.800 --> 00:29:59.040
and showed me how to do it.
633
00:29:59.040 --> 00:30:01.040
I said, okay, and what words would he have used?
634
00:30:01.040 --> 00:30:03.080
And she told me the words he would have used
635
00:30:03.080 --> 00:30:04.480
and how would that feel?
636
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:05.800
She told me how that would feel.
637
00:30:05.800 --> 00:30:08.600
And so we went into hypnosis into a trans state.
638
00:30:08.600 --> 00:30:11.560
We literally quantumly back to that time
639
00:30:11.560 --> 00:30:13.440
when she was relaxed and excited
640
00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:15.760
and we went a little bit deeper
641
00:30:15.760 --> 00:30:19.080
and then we re-experienced that episode
642
00:30:19.080 --> 00:30:20.880
in the way that she wanted to.
643
00:30:21.840 --> 00:30:25.280
So profoundly that she couldn't the next day
644
00:30:25.280 --> 00:30:28.520
remember any other story except for the story of
645
00:30:28.520 --> 00:30:30.960
how that happened and her father was supportive
646
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:33.200
and going forward that changed everything for her.
647
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:35.240
Oh yeah, just feeling into the difference
648
00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:36.640
of what it could have felt like
649
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:38.160
in making that a reality.
650
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:39.720
She just needed to feel it.
651
00:30:39.720 --> 00:30:41.240
Yeah, she needed to actually,
652
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:43.000
she had to embrace a new story, right?
653
00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:44.920
Because all, it no longer exists.
654
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:48.080
It exists in her memory and in her imagination
655
00:30:48.080 --> 00:30:49.880
and the only reason is creating inflammation
656
00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:52.240
or a body and her energy and her emotions
657
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:54.160
is because she's revisiting an old story
658
00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:55.320
that doesn't exist.
659
00:30:55.320 --> 00:30:57.800
So we changed the story and it became more real
660
00:30:57.800 --> 00:30:59.160
than the old story.
661
00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:01.640
And therefore her future was completely different.
662
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:03.120
Fascinating, yeah.
663
00:31:03.120 --> 00:31:07.000
Fascinating and NLP, did you practice timeline therapy?
664
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:07.840
So we never did.
665
00:31:07.840 --> 00:31:10.400
I never went deep into hypnotherapy at all.
666
00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:11.760
But in timeline therapy,
667
00:31:11.760 --> 00:31:13.960
there's something I remember my teacher.
668
00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:16.120
She cute, she cute words like,
669
00:31:16.120 --> 00:31:19.160
imagine you as your adult self going back in time
670
00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:21.120
to this memory of you being a child.
671
00:31:21.120 --> 00:31:25.000
And I wonder if becoming an adult,
672
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:26.880
the challenges that we face sometimes
673
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:28.360
just feel so overwhelming,
674
00:31:28.360 --> 00:31:30.240
but the gift of now being an adult
675
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:32.760
to kind of go back and save yourself as a child
676
00:31:32.760 --> 00:31:34.120
and just like owning that,
677
00:31:34.120 --> 00:31:35.560
that you can do that for yourself.
678
00:31:35.560 --> 00:31:36.400
Totally.
679
00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:38.160
That child's still within you.
680
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:39.000
Absolutely.
681
00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:40.360
And it's waiting for you to come back
682
00:31:40.360 --> 00:31:41.600
and be like, I got you.
683
00:31:41.600 --> 00:31:42.600
Yeah.
684
00:31:42.600 --> 00:31:44.080
So I call it quantum leaping,
685
00:31:44.080 --> 00:31:45.680
but it is timeline therapy, yeah.
686
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:47.120
Yeah, okay, there you go.
687
00:31:55.120 --> 00:31:57.120
Let's take a quick break to talk about something
688
00:31:57.120 --> 00:32:00.200
that's made a huge difference in my skin health lately.
689
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:02.240
A product called one skin.
690
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:05.120
If you're like me, always on the hunt for a wellness solution
691
00:32:05.120 --> 00:32:07.840
for optimizing your skin's health and longevity,
692
00:32:07.840 --> 00:32:09.520
you need to hear about this one.
693
00:32:09.520 --> 00:32:12.720
Most skincare products focus on surface level results,
694
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:14.640
but one skin goes way deeper,
695
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:18.040
working at a cellular level for lasting results.
696
00:32:18.040 --> 00:32:21.840
They're amazing all-woman team of skin longevity scientists
697
00:32:21.840 --> 00:32:26.480
developed OS1 after testing over 900 peptides.
698
00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:29.320
It's the first ingredient scientifically proven
699
00:32:29.320 --> 00:32:33.360
to interrupt cellular senescence, a core aging process.
700
00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:36.120
As we age and get exposed to UV rays,
701
00:32:36.120 --> 00:32:38.360
our skin cells enter senescence.
702
00:32:38.360 --> 00:32:40.840
They stop rejuvenating and producing collagen
703
00:32:40.840 --> 00:32:42.880
and elastin like they should.
704
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:46.440
And even worse, they release harmful inflammatory chemicals
705
00:32:46.440 --> 00:32:49.440
and cause neighboring cells to become dysfunctional too.
706
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:52.760
It's like a domino effect that makes our skin age faster
707
00:32:52.760 --> 00:32:55.320
with deeper wrinkles, thinning, and sagging
708
00:32:55.320 --> 00:32:57.400
what we all want to avoid.
709
00:32:57.400 --> 00:33:01.280
But one skin's OS1 switches off these senescent cells,
710
00:33:01.280 --> 00:33:03.440
getting to the root cause of skin aging.
711
00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:05.960
It helps our skin stay younger and healthier,
712
00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:09.200
and since skin is our body's largest organ,
713
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:12.080
the health of our skin is absolutely critical
714
00:33:12.080 --> 00:33:13.640
to our overall health.
715
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:15.960
That's why I personally love one skin.
716
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:18.320
I've noticed a real difference in the resilience
717
00:33:18.320 --> 00:33:22.160
and youthfulness of my skin since using it regularly.
718
00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:23.840
As a rooted and wellness listener,
719
00:33:23.840 --> 00:33:26.600

Trust me, your skin will thank you.
730
00:34:06.600 --> 00:34:08.960
So you explained how this client of yours
731
00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:11.120
could then change her reality, right?
732
00:34:11.120 --> 00:34:12.120
And her identity.
733
00:34:12.120 --> 00:34:13.720
It's so powerful.
734
00:34:13.720 --> 00:34:14.720
Have you worked with clients
735
00:34:14.720 --> 00:34:17.640
and if you put the lens of health specifically?
736
00:34:17.640 --> 00:34:19.720
Yeah, so you put ailments, yeah.
737
00:34:19.720 --> 00:34:22.240
Yeah, it started with me, so I don't have any pain.
738
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:23.200
Great.
739
00:34:23.200 --> 00:34:24.840
I don't have any chronic pain anymore.
740
00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:26.880
And even in the last year,
741
00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:28.600
I've been able to eliminate it.
742
00:34:28.600 --> 00:34:29.440
Wow.
743
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:32.880
So there's a real possibility of eliminating your pain.
744
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:36.200
Okay, so I want to break this down.
745
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:40.000
To really own in on this and the power of your mind, right?
746
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:41.600
Because we still live in this world
747
00:34:41.600 --> 00:34:43.840
where people are looking for the protocol.
748
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:45.200
Okay, it's still the number one question
749
00:34:45.200 --> 00:34:46.720
that I get in an interview.
750
00:34:46.720 --> 00:34:47.760
Mona just tells us what to eat,
751
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:49.840
but what's the best diet, right?
752
00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:51.480
And I don't even start there anymore.
753
00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:53.160
Like diets actually not the first thing.
754
00:34:53.160 --> 00:34:54.160
It's so important.
755
00:34:54.160 --> 00:34:55.000
So important.
756
00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:57.080
What you put into your body is so, so important.
757
00:34:57.080 --> 00:34:59.400
But it's really your belief system
758
00:34:59.400 --> 00:35:02.640
that shape your entire world and your health.
759
00:35:02.640 --> 00:35:03.480
Yeah.
760
00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:05.080
So I'm going to put the yoga glens on this.
761
00:35:05.080 --> 00:35:05.600
Okay.
762
00:35:05.600 --> 00:35:07.240
In yoga, growing up,
763
00:35:07.240 --> 00:35:10.360
my dad would always talk about storing energy, right?
764
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:13.320
These energetic system are noties within the body
765
00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:15.360
that would become imprinted, right?
766
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:17.880
With memories and the importance of processing them
767
00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:20.120
through things like yoga, right?
768
00:35:20.200 --> 00:35:22.400
I don't think you have to be a yogi to do this,
769
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:24.800
but can you just maybe put into context
770
00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:26.600
when you're explaining this to your clients,
771
00:35:26.600 --> 00:35:28.400
the concept of accumulation,
772
00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:30.200
like everything that you accumulate
773
00:35:30.200 --> 00:35:31.800
from the time that you were a child
774
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:33.240
and how that could be something
775
00:35:33.240 --> 00:35:37.360
that's attributing to your health setbacks or your symptoms?
776
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:39.240
Yeah, and I'll use the story of myself.
777
00:35:39.240 --> 00:35:40.880
So everything that accumulates,
778
00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:43.760
all the programming, all the identity, all the beliefs
779
00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:46.200
that get stored in your subconscious mind, right?
780
00:35:46.200 --> 00:35:48.360
We're 95% of everything's happening.
781
00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:50.440
And you begin to have this,
782
00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:53.640
the spirometer, this homeostasis.
783
00:35:53.640 --> 00:35:55.200
Everything in our body is homeostasis.
784
00:35:55.200 --> 00:35:56.600
When we get too hot, we sweat,
785
00:35:56.600 --> 00:35:57.880
when we get too cold, we shiver,
786
00:35:57.880 --> 00:36:00.040
when we're breathing, everything's in homeostasis.
787
00:36:00.040 --> 00:36:01.960
It keeps us medium equal.
788
00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:05.000
So our homeostasis of what we believe we are
789
00:36:05.000 --> 00:36:06.560
is based on our beliefs, right?
790
00:36:06.560 --> 00:36:09.160
If we all of a sudden start making too much money,
791
00:36:09.160 --> 00:36:10.960
we lose it, we spend it.
792
00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:13.840
We get to a place where we think is above our station
793
00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:15.720
or below our ability,
794
00:36:15.720 --> 00:36:18.120
then somehow we sabotage it.
795
00:36:18.440 --> 00:36:20.000
But if we get too low,
796
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:24.120
like we find ourselves not being able to make the rant
797
00:36:24.120 --> 00:36:28.000
or just in a relationship that's totally against our grain,
798
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:29.760
well, break up or we'll find more money
799
00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:31.400
so we can get to that middle ground again.
800
00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:32.240
Drives us.
801
00:36:32.240 --> 00:36:35.760
So all these things build up to create this homeostasis,
802
00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:38.800
but it also builds up to create the friction too.
803
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:41.800
So we have to start to actually unfold it
804
00:36:41.800 --> 00:36:43.840
and understand what that is,
805
00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:46.400
so that we can start to release it
806
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:48.320
and either raise our standard
807
00:36:48.320 --> 00:36:52.000
or start to change how we're actually feeling.
808
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:54.600
And so to go back to your question,
809
00:36:54.600 --> 00:36:56.000
which I've deviated from a little bit.
810
00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:56.840
Yeah, no, I'm with you.
811
00:36:56.840 --> 00:36:59.600
To go back to your question about
812
00:36:59.600 --> 00:37:01.680
how you can start to change this.
813
00:37:01.680 --> 00:37:03.840
And for me, it was,
814
00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:07.840
I was feeling pain because of so much pain
815
00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:12.840
of unbad or unworthiness that I wasn't even,
816
00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:15.000
I would say I'm gonna go really do
817
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:17.040
some physical therapy this year.
818
00:37:17.040 --> 00:37:19.240
And I would look at my journals
819
00:37:19.240 --> 00:37:20.920
and my New Year's resolutions
820
00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:22.920
and for 10 years I was saying the same shit.
821
00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:23.760
Oh, wow.
822
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:25.120
I'm gonna do physical therapy this year.
823
00:37:25.120 --> 00:37:26.440
I'm gonna get out of pain.
824
00:37:26.440 --> 00:37:27.520
I'm gonna do physical therapy
825
00:37:27.520 --> 00:37:29.200
and then people would be like,
826
00:37:29.200 --> 00:37:30.960
why haven't you gone to physical therapy?
827
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:32.600
And I'd be like, stop.
828
00:37:32.600 --> 00:37:36.040
I'd get into what we call as the backfire effect.
829
00:37:36.040 --> 00:37:40.240
I would start to support my false claims,
830
00:37:40.240 --> 00:37:41.640
like I doubled down.
831
00:37:41.640 --> 00:37:44.480
I would be like, I have a spinal cord injury.
832
00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:46.560
Stop pressuring me.
833
00:37:46.560 --> 00:37:48.760
You don't know, right?
834
00:37:48.760 --> 00:37:51.160
And this is just what life is.
835
00:37:51.160 --> 00:37:53.640
And because the reality was there was something
836
00:37:53.640 --> 00:37:55.680
that says I deserve that.
837
00:37:55.680 --> 00:37:58.760
And therefore I wouldn't even go to physical therapy.
838
00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:01.440
Never like, and then I'd be in more pain.
839
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:04.320
Not only guilt and shame for not doing it,
840
00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:06.680
but the pain of not supporting my body
841
00:38:06.680 --> 00:38:08.280
and then the emotional pain.
842
00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:10.240
It just got worse and worse and worse.
843
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:12.840
So when I started to realize, okay,
844
00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:15.120
why do I believe that I'm bad?
845
00:38:15.120 --> 00:38:17.120
And then what's the truth?
846
00:38:17.120 --> 00:38:19.280
If I was to cut my body open,
847
00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:22.920
look in my brain and my heart, would I find bad?
848
00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:24.920
Okay, so it's a belief.
849
00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:27.320
And so are those beliefs true?
850
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:31.640
No, beliefs are a fabrication of our programming.
851
00:38:31.640 --> 00:38:33.200
So what else could be true?
852
00:38:33.200 --> 00:38:35.440
Oh, I'm trying really hard and I'm pretty good.
853
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:37.200
And then what am I willing to give up
854
00:38:37.200 --> 00:38:40.080
to have what I want, a life with no pain?
855
00:38:40.120 --> 00:38:43.320
No, I have to give up the story, this bullshit story.
856
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:44.960
And am I ready to give it up?
857
00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:47.320
Because what will life look like in 10 years
858
00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:48.720
if I don't give up the story?
859
00:38:48.720 --> 00:38:50.000
Oh, I'll be in a wheelchair
860
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:52.840
and I definitely won't be experiencing life.
861
00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:55.280
Okay, so am I going to do it now?
862
00:38:56.640 --> 00:38:58.960
Oh my God, that is so beautiful.
863
00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:01.360
It sometimes takes the people that we love saying things,
864
00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:02.880
doesn't it?
865
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:04.920
My brother, I'll never forget, he said,
866
00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:07.080
he asked me to be part of a triadventure,
867
00:39:07.080 --> 00:39:08.800
which he's the triadventure guy.
868
00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:11.320
The cyclose, the long term, everything.
869
00:39:11.320 --> 00:39:14.840
And when I wrap my heart surgeries,
870
00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:16.200
he said, well, come do it with me this year.
871
00:39:16.200 --> 00:39:17.920
And I said, no, we can't my heart.
872
00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:19.040
And then he looked at me and he said,
873
00:39:19.040 --> 00:39:20.160
how's that working for you?
874
00:39:20.160 --> 00:39:22.040
How's that story working for you?
875
00:39:22.040 --> 00:39:23.520
Changed everything.
876
00:39:23.520 --> 00:39:24.520
He's insightful.
877
00:39:24.520 --> 00:39:25.680
He's insightful, he knew.
878
00:39:25.680 --> 00:39:26.960
That's NLP, by the way.
879
00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:28.080
Yeah, absolutely.
880
00:39:28.080 --> 00:39:30.000
Yeah, and it made me question everything.
881
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:32.280
Like, why am I identifying with this illness?
882
00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:34.240
Why am I identifying with a sadness?
883
00:39:34.240 --> 00:39:36.880
And to your point, it was that same asking of questions
884
00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:39.400
and introspection that changed everything.
885
00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:42.720
So your story then, and now sharing
886
00:39:42.720 --> 00:39:45.000
some medic experiences with your clients,
887
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:46.960
using things like hypnotherapy,
888
00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:49.200
tell us a bit about hypnotherapy for people
889
00:39:49.200 --> 00:39:51.080
who just they might not just grab onto it.
890
00:39:51.080 --> 00:39:52.200
They have an idea of what it is,
891
00:39:52.200 --> 00:39:54.320
but they're saying it's not for them.
892
00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:56.280
Tell us about hypnotherapy and how you use it
893
00:39:56.280 --> 00:39:57.440
with your clients.
894
00:39:57.440 --> 00:40:00.200
I say this a lot, but people like hypnosis,
895
00:40:00.200 --> 00:40:01.160
that's mind control.
896
00:40:01.160 --> 00:40:02.000
Yeah, exactly.
897
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:03.000
What are you going to make me do?
898
00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:05.320
Yeah, absolutely, it's mind control.
899
00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:08.560
People make videos about how it's not mind control.
900
00:40:08.560 --> 00:40:09.080
Yeah.
901
00:40:09.080 --> 00:40:12.080
And it is mind, it's 100% mind control.
902
00:40:12.080 --> 00:40:14.680
But I'm not controlling your mind.
903
00:40:14.680 --> 00:40:17.000
I'm showing you how to control your own mind,
904
00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:19.080
your subconscious mind, which is completely
905
00:40:19.080 --> 00:40:20.600
running without your control.
906
00:40:20.600 --> 00:40:23.880
And so through trans-like states,
907
00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:26.520
when you can get into a theta state,
908
00:40:26.520 --> 00:40:29.480
you can start to actually reprogram and control
909
00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:31.600
your subconscious mind a little bit.
910
00:40:31.600 --> 00:40:34.600
Because every other day, you're not in control.
911
00:40:34.600 --> 00:40:35.800
Yeah. That's the truth.
912
00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:38.920
So hypnotherapy doesn't like talk therapy
913
00:40:38.920 --> 00:40:39.840
and other things.
914
00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:42.880
It doesn't let's rehash the past.
915
00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:43.880
We'll understand it.
916
00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:45.520
We'll take a look back in the rear of the mirror,
917
00:40:45.520 --> 00:40:48.160
but we're not driving and we're like looking
918
00:40:48.160 --> 00:40:49.960
at the rear of the mirror, you know what I mean?
919
00:40:49.960 --> 00:40:52.000
So with traditional therapy,
920
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:55.240
when you're rehashing all those old neuro pathways,
921
00:40:55.240 --> 00:40:56.800
telling that story over and over again,
922
00:40:56.800 --> 00:40:58.400
making it more and more real, how painful
923
00:40:58.400 --> 00:40:59.920
and terrible it was for you,
924
00:40:59.920 --> 00:41:03.280
then we kind of believe like that's detrimental.
925
00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:04.200
You're living it again.
926
00:41:04.240 --> 00:41:06.000
Yeah, over and over and over again.
927
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:07.000
Because you don't talk about it once.
928
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:08.640
You go to therapy for six years
929
00:41:08.640 --> 00:41:10.480
and tell it over and over again.
930
00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:14.640
So we believe that you take a look in the past
931
00:41:14.640 --> 00:41:17.200
to see what the belief is, how it was created,
932
00:41:17.200 --> 00:41:21.480
and then resolve it, and then focus on what the future is,
933
00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:23.200
the potential of the future.
934
00:41:23.200 --> 00:41:26.600
But, and that is by allowing yourself
935
00:41:26.600 --> 00:41:29.040
to get into a state where you can get through
936
00:41:29.040 --> 00:41:33.560
unlike meditation where it's clear your mind be here now.
937
00:41:33.840 --> 00:41:36.920
A thought comes up, let it come and let it go.
938
00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:41.920
With hypnosis, there is something that I say
939
00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:43.480
that will put you in hypnosis
940
00:41:43.480 --> 00:41:45.800
that is like your thoughts may wander or wander.
941
00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:48.640
But that's 100% fine.
942
00:41:48.640 --> 00:41:49.880
Let yourself go.
943
00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:51.960
And the difference is when you get into that translate,
944
00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:55.400
we can actually use suggestion to change things
945
00:41:55.400 --> 00:41:58.960
so that you start to feel, believe and see things differently.
946
00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:01.640
And then if you take it a step beyond,
947
00:42:01.640 --> 00:42:03.160
which may not be for everyone,
948
00:42:03.160 --> 00:42:06.280
if we have this natural theta state that we can get into,
949
00:42:06.280 --> 00:42:08.600
and it's kind of on the same resident frequency
950
00:42:08.600 --> 00:42:13.280
as the quantum itself, then there is this quantum hypnosis,
951
00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:16.240
like Dolores Cannon and all Joseph Benza does,
952
00:42:16.240 --> 00:42:18.680
is that will allow you to touch that energy
953
00:42:18.680 --> 00:42:22.640
and start to get into the true creation of I am,
954
00:42:22.640 --> 00:42:24.720
which is source.
955
00:42:24.720 --> 00:42:27.160
And so anything's possible when that happens.
956
00:42:27.160 --> 00:42:29.480
For me, hypnosis has been so powerful.
957
00:42:29.480 --> 00:42:30.720
Am I healing journey?
958
00:42:30.720 --> 00:42:31.560
How really?
959
00:42:31.640 --> 00:42:33.520
For me, a lot of what has happened, though,
960
00:42:33.520 --> 00:42:35.120
I get these visualizations.
961
00:42:35.120 --> 00:42:37.480
Like, random things will come out of the blue,
962
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:41.680
but I've always experienced it as a sense of feeling safe enough
963
00:42:41.680 --> 00:42:44.760
to bring all that stuff up with a practitioner
964
00:42:44.760 --> 00:42:47.760
that I felt safe with and she would kind of help me unravel it
965
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:49.440
and make understanding of it.
966
00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:52.000
And sometimes that practice on its own was,
967
00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:53.400
that was the release.
968
00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:56.000
That's what I needed to remember in order
969
00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:57.920
to give myself forgiveness or peace.
970
00:42:57.920 --> 00:42:59.360
That's an amazing way to put it.
971
00:43:00.240 --> 00:43:01.960
That's an incredible synopsis.
972
00:43:01.960 --> 00:43:03.240
Yeah, that's really good.
973
00:43:03.240 --> 00:43:04.600
I'm gonna use that.
974
00:43:04.600 --> 00:43:07.000
And that's why people come to me that I have OCD
975
00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:10.320
or like, and it's not the work I really do most anymore,
976
00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:12.560
but someone will come out of a fear of flying.
977
00:43:12.560 --> 00:43:15.160
And we'll get into a really safe place
978
00:43:15.160 --> 00:43:16.720
and experience walking on the plane,
979
00:43:16.720 --> 00:43:19.120
sitting down the plane, having the plane take off.
980
00:43:19.120 --> 00:43:20.200
And then how do you feel?
981
00:43:20.200 --> 00:43:21.240
Oh, I feel fine.
982
00:43:21.240 --> 00:43:23.800
Okay, so we'll lock that in with an anchor
983
00:43:23.800 --> 00:43:25.360
and then the next time they fly,
984
00:43:25.360 --> 00:43:27.560
they'll wear the anchor whether we put on it
985
00:43:27.560 --> 00:43:29.560
like a bracelet or a color or something.
986
00:43:29.560 --> 00:43:33.760
And they'll fly away feeling safe without any anxiety.
987
00:43:33.760 --> 00:43:35.040
That's a perfect way to put it.
988
00:43:35.040 --> 00:43:36.200
Beautiful.
989
00:43:36.200 --> 00:43:37.680
Let's put this through a health lens.
990
00:43:37.680 --> 00:43:41.000
Do you work with anyone with specific stigias or tissues?
991
00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:44.520
So there's so many studies, even healing bones.
992
00:43:44.520 --> 00:43:46.160
I have clinical studies that I give to everybody.
993
00:43:46.160 --> 00:43:49.400
Like hypnosis, when you get the mind-body connection,
994
00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:51.160
your bones heal faster.
995
00:43:51.160 --> 00:43:53.840
Chronic pain, it works wonders for.
996
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:55.720
Because when you take out the information of emotion,
997
00:43:55.720 --> 00:43:58.960
all of a sudden, you know, you're pain lessons.
998
00:43:58.960 --> 00:43:59.800
Yeah.
999
00:43:59.800 --> 00:44:01.680
So you can even use self hypnosis for that.
1000
00:44:01.680 --> 00:44:06.360
So for, but the thing that I benefited most myself,
1001
00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:08.920
and I see other people benefit in terms of their health,
1002
00:44:08.920 --> 00:44:11.640
is getting into a place where you want to take care
1003
00:44:11.640 --> 00:44:12.640
of your body.
1004
00:44:12.640 --> 00:44:15.920
So using NLP and hypnosis and so that, you know like,
1005
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:18.800
you feel so good that you wouldn't put McDonald's
1006
00:44:18.800 --> 00:44:19.800
in your body.
1007
00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:21.320
Instead, you're like, oh my God.
1008
00:44:21.320 --> 00:44:23.920
Yeah, feeling so great of course I went to eat this
1009
00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:26.320
in these macros and this, like these vegetables.
1010
00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:27.440
What would I do that to myself?
1011
00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:28.280
Right.
1012
00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:30.480
Yeah, it gives you the ability to have space
1013
00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:32.880
to go out and do the good things.
1014
00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:34.040
Beautiful.
1015
00:44:34.040 --> 00:44:36.000
So I'm sure listeners are wanting to know then,
1016
00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:38.800
okay, they want to take the first step in hypnotherapy.
1017
00:44:38.800 --> 00:44:39.920
Is it going to YouTube?
1018
00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:41.160
Can we trust those videos?
1019
00:44:41.160 --> 00:44:42.640
Is it finding a practitioner?
1020
00:44:42.640 --> 00:44:45.120
Is it looking for someone who deals with a specific cause
1021
00:44:45.120 --> 00:44:46.280
that you might be relating to?
1022
00:44:46.280 --> 00:44:47.640
What's the first step?
1023
00:44:47.640 --> 00:44:48.560
That's a great question.
1024
00:44:48.560 --> 00:44:52.240
And I think that hypnosis is not dating.
1025
00:44:52.240 --> 00:44:53.080
What's that?
1026
00:44:53.080 --> 00:44:54.320
Hypnosis on YouTube.
1027
00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:55.160
Is there?
1028
00:44:55.160 --> 00:44:56.000
I've never looked.
1029
00:44:56.000 --> 00:44:58.560
God bless you too, but I just know.
1030
00:44:58.560 --> 00:45:00.240
I think there's a time and a place for hypnosis
1031
00:45:00.240 --> 00:45:02.000
and I think you should trust where it's coming from.
1032
00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:02.840
That's my two cents.
1033
00:45:02.840 --> 00:45:03.840
I can't let you answer it.
1034
00:45:03.840 --> 00:45:05.000
I like that two cents.
1035
00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:06.560
I like that two cents.
1036
00:45:06.560 --> 00:45:10.600
I know that I'm a firm believer that hypnosis
1037
00:45:10.600 --> 00:45:14.960
is not detrimental because our subconscious mind
1038
00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:15.760
is going to protect us.
1039
00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:16.760
It will know.
1040
00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:19.160
So if someone's like trying to hypnotize you
1041
00:45:19.160 --> 00:45:23.280
to give them money or to covertly take advantage of you,
1042
00:45:23.280 --> 00:45:25.880
something's going to be open your eyes.
1043
00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:28.120
You're not under that much control.
1044
00:45:28.120 --> 00:45:31.400
But there are people that you can trust for sure.
1045
00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:33.960
And I think that it has to be someone
1046
00:45:33.960 --> 00:45:38.880
that you can trust so that you can allow yourself to go deeper.
1047
00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:41.040
And you'll know who those folks are.
1048
00:45:41.040 --> 00:45:42.920
Pretty easily.
1049
00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:45.120
This kind of ties into quantum and entangle
1050
00:45:45.120 --> 00:45:45.960
and stuff like that.
1051
00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:48.320
So sitting with you right now, so often
1052
00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:50.040
I love the in-person experience
1053
00:45:50.040 --> 00:45:53.200
because there's this energetic exchange and flow.
1054
00:45:53.200 --> 00:45:57.120
And I think if you've ever worked with a healer and in endomodality,
1055
00:45:57.120 --> 00:46:00.560
it's often the energy of the person giving and receiving
1056
00:46:00.560 --> 00:46:02.680
that means so much to the journey.
1057
00:46:02.680 --> 00:46:05.560
Do you feel like are you going to specific practitioners
1058
00:46:05.560 --> 00:46:08.080
yourself when you feel called to feeling a certain type
1059
00:46:08.080 --> 00:46:09.280
of energy or healing?
1060
00:46:09.280 --> 00:46:09.800
Yeah.
1061
00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:12.200
I'm sure people go to see you for that exact reason
1062
00:46:12.200 --> 00:46:13.680
because your energy is very open.
1063
00:46:13.680 --> 00:46:14.720
It feels supportive.
1064
00:46:14.720 --> 00:46:17.560
And you've got the experience and to be able to speak
1065
00:46:17.600 --> 00:46:20.680
to healing in your suffering and now being free from that.
1066
00:46:20.680 --> 00:46:21.360
Yeah.
1067
00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:23.040
And we've created a little energy bubble right here.
1068
00:46:23.040 --> 00:46:23.880
Do you feel that?
1069
00:46:23.880 --> 00:46:24.400
Yeah.
1070
00:46:24.400 --> 00:46:26.480
So I go to people, yes.
1071
00:46:26.480 --> 00:46:27.320
Yeah.
1072
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:30.000
And I have some, there's a fine line
1073
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:32.640
because you can self-help forever.
1074
00:46:32.640 --> 00:46:33.920
And there's a fine line when you have to say,
1075
00:46:33.920 --> 00:46:36.680
oh, I want to do this on my own.
1076
00:46:36.680 --> 00:46:39.800
Because for a long time, I was addicted
1077
00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:43.640
to the emotional high of the next retreat, outsourcing
1078
00:46:43.640 --> 00:46:46.720
my spirituality to the next best practitioner.
1079
00:46:47.200 --> 00:46:51.400
And now I have a few people that, you know, you wouldn't know.
1080
00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:54.120
Sometimes the best folks is like, you don't find them.
1081
00:46:54.120 --> 00:46:54.960
Yeah.
1082
00:46:54.960 --> 00:46:57.560
And they're so powerful that when I'm with them,
1083
00:46:57.560 --> 00:46:59.400
they're either giving me acupuncture
1084
00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:01.640
or they're speaking to me in a way
1085
00:47:01.640 --> 00:47:05.280
or it's hypnosis that I'm able to like go deep.
1086
00:47:05.280 --> 00:47:08.800
And so I went to the school in California called HMI,
1087
00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:10.640
the hypnosis motivational institute.
1088
00:47:10.640 --> 00:47:11.680
So the claim to fame was,
1089
00:47:11.680 --> 00:47:14.680
Joseph Spencer went there and there's a few students
1090
00:47:14.680 --> 00:47:16.560
that I studied with that I will contact
1091
00:47:16.560 --> 00:47:20.160
and be like, I need a little rearranging in my life.
1092
00:47:20.160 --> 00:47:21.480
Can you do that?
1093
00:47:21.480 --> 00:47:24.720
And then they're the big names that I've been so lucky
1094
00:47:24.720 --> 00:47:26.320
to be able to have access to.
1095
00:47:26.320 --> 00:47:28.800
And so now I'll do that.
1096
00:47:28.800 --> 00:47:29.720
I asked this question.
1097
00:47:29.720 --> 00:47:31.880
One of the first questions I ask the people that I work with
1098
00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:34.680
is who would they consider a part of their care team?
1099
00:47:34.680 --> 00:47:37.040
And I think that, again, getting caught
1100
00:47:37.040 --> 00:47:40.040
in this Western trap of finding the one doctor
1101
00:47:40.040 --> 00:47:42.800
or healer or modality, people get stuck.
1102
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:45.680
When, I mean, if we open it up to energy healers,
1103
00:47:45.680 --> 00:47:48.960
I think that we understand this concept of integration
1104
00:47:48.960 --> 00:47:51.000
and how there's people that come into your life
1105
00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:52.600
at a certain time that could be supportive
1106
00:47:52.600 --> 00:47:53.720
for that part of the journey.
1107
00:47:53.720 --> 00:47:56.160
And then somebody else for the next part of the journey.
1108
00:47:56.160 --> 00:47:58.480
So just to be open to finding the right energy
1109
00:47:58.480 --> 00:48:00.800
that maybe your subconscious feels really safe
1110
00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:03.000
with in order to open the door to healing.
1111
00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:04.480
Yeah, that's great.
1112
00:48:04.480 --> 00:48:08.200
Yeah, one of their somatic practices then do you practice?
1113
00:48:08.200 --> 00:48:09.600
I'll do tapping.
1114
00:48:09.600 --> 00:48:11.280
Okay, I'll do a lot of tapping.
1115
00:48:11.320 --> 00:48:16.160
I really like the idea of opening up my meridians
1116
00:48:16.160 --> 00:48:19.400
and putting in a really positive affirmation.
1117
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:21.600
So tell, explain what tapping is.
1118
00:48:21.600 --> 00:48:23.960
For me, tapping, I feel I will only do it
1119
00:48:23.960 --> 00:48:25.280
if it's being guided.
1120
00:48:25.280 --> 00:48:27.640
I can't find the understanding behind it
1121
00:48:27.640 --> 00:48:29.560
or I can't get myself to the experience
1122
00:48:29.560 --> 00:48:31.520
of the freedom on my own.
1123
00:48:31.520 --> 00:48:33.120
So tell us a little bit about tapping.
1124
00:48:33.120 --> 00:48:34.080
I can understand that.
1125
00:48:34.080 --> 00:48:35.960
So tapping is a emotional freedom technique
1126
00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:38.040
and it's the idea that we have these meridians
1127
00:48:38.040 --> 00:48:40.600
that when we tap on, we can start to lower
1128
00:48:40.720 --> 00:48:43.960
our nervous system and reprogram our subconscious
1129
00:48:43.960 --> 00:48:46.120
in a calm natural state.
1130
00:48:46.120 --> 00:48:48.480
And it's by the way that I learned it anyway
1131
00:48:48.480 --> 00:48:51.400
is that you can say the thing that's bothering you
1132
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:53.040
while tapping in your nervous system
1133
00:48:53.040 --> 00:48:54.120
is getting a different signal.
1134
00:48:54.120 --> 00:48:55.440
So the thing that's bothering you
1135
00:48:55.440 --> 00:48:57.280
no longer becomes a trigger.
1136
00:48:57.280 --> 00:49:01.880
And so like, you know, like even if I did this a lot for pain
1137
00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:03.200
so you can tap on the top of your head
1138
00:49:03.200 --> 00:49:04.640
and on your above your brow
1139
00:49:04.640 --> 00:49:08.320
and on your collarbone underneath your nose,
1140
00:49:08.360 --> 00:49:11.760
collarbones, arm and then here.
1141
00:49:11.760 --> 00:49:14.760
And what you say is, you know,
1142
00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:16.400
I'm in so much goddamn pain.
1143
00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:19.120
I can't even, I'm so angry with this terrible body
1144
00:49:19.120 --> 00:49:20.800
that's always so painful.
1145
00:49:20.800 --> 00:49:22.720
And I am in so much pain.
1146
00:49:22.720 --> 00:49:24.200
I'm so mad about it.
1147
00:49:24.200 --> 00:49:26.200
This my back is so broken.
1148
00:49:26.200 --> 00:49:28.600
And all this pain in my back is so broken
1149
00:49:28.600 --> 00:49:30.320
and all of a sudden all this pain in my back
1150
00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:31.760
is even getting better right now.
1151
00:49:31.760 --> 00:49:32.960
And I don't even really feel it.
1152
00:49:32.960 --> 00:49:34.720
And then as you keep tapping
1153
00:49:34.720 --> 00:49:38.000
and you go three, four rounds, you lower the trigger
1154
00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:39.800
and you regulate your immune system,
1155
00:49:39.800 --> 00:49:41.440
your nervous system.
1156
00:49:41.440 --> 00:49:44.280
And maybe even change your energy a little bit
1157
00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:46.560
and it has miraculous effects.
1158
00:49:46.560 --> 00:49:48.920
And the specific points that you're tapping though,
1159
00:49:48.920 --> 00:49:51.880
those are the meridians, right?
1160
00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:52.880
That are special.
1161
00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:53.720
Yeah.
1162
00:49:53.720 --> 00:49:55.120
And looking back, I'm reading a book
1163
00:49:55.120 --> 00:49:56.920
on Marama points right now in Ayurveda.
1164
00:49:56.920 --> 00:49:59.800
So points on the body that you press and you stimulate
1165
00:49:59.800 --> 00:50:01.440
which ties into the same concept.
1166
00:50:01.440 --> 00:50:02.760
I think it sounds like the same thing.
1167
00:50:02.760 --> 00:50:04.880
Traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture
1168
00:50:04.880 --> 00:50:07.000
ties into the exact same concept.
1169
00:50:07.080 --> 00:50:08.560
Like there's just so much wisdom
1170
00:50:08.560 --> 00:50:11.520
in turning on the body's ability to heal itself.
1171
00:50:11.520 --> 00:50:12.360
Yeah.
1172
00:50:12.360 --> 00:50:16.040
I don't understand why they're just not so mainstream, right?
1173
00:50:16.040 --> 00:50:17.760
Like if there could just be that integration.
1174
00:50:17.760 --> 00:50:19.840
Because you can't be monetized as much.
1175
00:50:19.840 --> 00:50:20.840
Yeah.
1176
00:50:20.840 --> 00:50:21.680
Yeah.
1177
00:50:21.680 --> 00:50:22.680
Probably a whole podcast, right?
1178
00:50:22.680 --> 00:50:25.000
On the monetization of all of it, right?
1179
00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:26.760
If we teach people to become their own healers,
1180
00:50:26.760 --> 00:50:28.400
then yeah, then there's possibly no need
1181
00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:30.480
for prescription drugs, right?
1182
00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:32.840
But I think it's also the openness to learning
1183
00:50:32.840 --> 00:50:35.280
that your body has that power, right?
1184
00:50:35.280 --> 00:50:37.360
We need to make those stories go mainstream.
1185
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:40.400
Have you ever read quantum healing by Deepak Chopra?
1186
00:50:40.400 --> 00:50:41.240
Yeah.
1187
00:50:41.240 --> 00:50:42.760
So he re-released it, right?
1188
00:50:42.760 --> 00:50:43.480
Because I think he was like,
1189
00:50:43.480 --> 00:50:45.000
oh, from faculty at a university,
1190
00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:46.640
but re-released it with all the science
1191
00:50:46.640 --> 00:50:48.200
that people were asking for.
1192
00:50:48.200 --> 00:50:50.640
Documenting cases of people,
1193
00:50:50.640 --> 00:50:52.320
case after case of people curing themselves
1194
00:50:52.320 --> 00:50:54.480
from diseases like cancer, right?
1195
00:50:54.480 --> 00:50:58.120
Just the power of the body and of course, nourishment.
1196
00:50:58.120 --> 00:50:58.960
Yeah.
1197
00:50:58.960 --> 00:51:00.440
Do you think that the nervous system
1198
00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:02.880
has to digest our life?
1199
00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:03.720
Does that make sense?
1200
00:51:03.720 --> 00:51:05.120
That's a great point.
1201
00:51:05.120 --> 00:51:05.960
Yes.
1202
00:51:05.960 --> 00:51:07.080
I've been thinking about this lately.
1203
00:51:07.080 --> 00:51:09.400
So when I read books like quantum healing,
1204
00:51:09.400 --> 00:51:11.280
there's a little bit about digestion.
1205
00:51:11.280 --> 00:51:13.480
So digesting the foods that we eat is so important.
1206
00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:14.880
A food is information.
1207
00:51:14.880 --> 00:51:17.480
But if our nervous system has been turned on
1208
00:51:17.480 --> 00:51:20.160
since we even arrived on this planet,
1209
00:51:20.160 --> 00:51:22.080
it must also be digesting.
1210
00:51:22.080 --> 00:51:26.200
You know, that's really good.
1211
00:51:26.200 --> 00:51:28.600
I haven't thought of that.
1212
00:51:28.600 --> 00:51:29.680
I only thought to ask you
1213
00:51:29.680 --> 00:51:31.560
because you work around people's nervous system.
1214
00:51:31.560 --> 00:51:32.760
It's something that I'm thinking of
1215
00:51:32.760 --> 00:51:35.840
because if it's digesting and we're not eliminating
1216
00:51:35.840 --> 00:51:37.880
or if we get stuck in a certain state,
1217
00:51:37.880 --> 00:51:39.320
it means that it can't process.
1218
00:51:39.320 --> 00:51:41.640
Processing is a state of digestion, right?
1219
00:51:41.640 --> 00:51:43.720
So the modalities that I'm hearing you talk about
1220
00:51:43.720 --> 00:51:46.320
are a way of our nervous system being able to digest.
1221
00:51:46.320 --> 00:51:47.160
Next level.
1222
00:51:47.160 --> 00:51:49.240
Okay, we'll do a podcast on this.
1223
00:51:49.240 --> 00:51:50.080
Right.
1224
00:51:50.080 --> 00:51:52.600
Put that down for the next podcast.
1225
00:51:52.600 --> 00:51:54.200
But quantum, quantum, I mean,
1226
00:51:54.200 --> 00:51:55.760
Deepak was talking about this.
1227
00:51:55.760 --> 00:51:59.360
I mean, he led the road for dispenser.
1228
00:51:59.360 --> 00:52:01.080
Yeah, absolutely.
1229
00:52:01.080 --> 00:52:01.920
Yeah.
1230
00:52:02.920 --> 00:52:05.400
Okay, so we're breaking down this concept
1231
00:52:05.400 --> 00:52:07.000
of your emotional state.
1232
00:52:07.000 --> 00:52:09.760
How your emotional state can dictate your health
1233
00:52:09.760 --> 00:52:11.560
and also your thoughts and the lens
1234
00:52:11.560 --> 00:52:13.240
that you're going through life with.
1235
00:52:13.240 --> 00:52:15.880
Don't you know about how we code a new consciousness?
1236
00:52:15.880 --> 00:52:17.720
I love this concept from you.
1237
00:52:17.720 --> 00:52:18.240
Yeah.
1238
00:52:18.240 --> 00:52:20.960
What does it mean and how does that tie into a healing body?
1239
00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:25.120
I did this little workbook with social media can be bad.
1240
00:52:25.120 --> 00:52:27.280
Yeah, but it can also be so good.
1241
00:52:27.280 --> 00:52:29.720
I just was scrolling social media.
1242
00:52:29.800 --> 00:52:32.040
I saw this woman and I was like,
1243
00:52:32.040 --> 00:52:34.040
she was doing like these 10 minute videos,
1244
00:52:34.040 --> 00:52:37.320
like really heavy, deep, like education.
1245
00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:38.680
Yeah, I was science.
1246
00:52:38.680 --> 00:52:41.480
And I was like, this woman's blowing my mind,
1247
00:52:41.480 --> 00:52:44.720
her grasp of these concepts.
1248
00:52:44.720 --> 00:52:48.360
And her being able to like tell you an entire book
1249
00:52:48.360 --> 00:52:51.680
and 10 minutes was so good.
1250
00:52:51.680 --> 00:52:52.880
Then I contacted her and I said,
1251
00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:54.840
well, let's do a workbook for people.
1252
00:52:54.840 --> 00:52:56.520
And we called it shift.
1253
00:52:57.440 --> 00:53:00.400
And we said, this is really coding a new consciousness
1254
00:53:00.400 --> 00:53:04.480
because consciousness can grow.
1255
00:53:04.480 --> 00:53:08.120
It's not like we have this one consciousness in it.
1256
00:53:08.120 --> 00:53:12.840
Yeah, if we focus on it and we find the codes
1257
00:53:12.840 --> 00:53:15.520
to allow it to expand and grow.
1258
00:53:15.520 --> 00:53:19.200
So it's a just a, if there are 12 notes in an octave.
1259
00:53:19.200 --> 00:53:20.040
Yeah.
1260
00:53:20.040 --> 00:53:23.120
And we're on like the third note of our consciousness.
1261
00:53:23.200 --> 00:53:27.400
As we start to look within and to start to expand
1262
00:53:27.400 --> 00:53:29.640
into the energy around us and we say,
1263
00:53:29.640 --> 00:53:33.680
oh, my body, this plant, this table, this podcast
1264
00:53:33.680 --> 00:53:37.120
is all a fabrication of my senses.
1265
00:53:37.120 --> 00:53:40.880
Then when I close my eyes and I can feel some energy
1266
00:53:40.880 --> 00:53:42.520
or heat or something else,
1267
00:53:42.520 --> 00:53:45.040
then I know that there's something more.
1268
00:53:45.040 --> 00:53:48.040
And if there's something more, what is that?
1269
00:53:48.040 --> 00:53:50.840
And then what is the voice or the awareness
1270
00:53:50.840 --> 00:53:52.880
that's asking what is that?
1271
00:53:52.880 --> 00:53:55.040
And so how do I explore that?
1272
00:53:55.040 --> 00:53:56.600
And so we can start to explore that
1273
00:53:56.600 --> 00:53:58.680
through different forms of trans and meditation.
1274
00:53:58.680 --> 00:54:02.680
But as you do, even in the I am mantra, as you do,
1275
00:54:02.680 --> 00:54:07.360
you start to realize, oh, I'm growing my consciousness
1276
00:54:07.360 --> 00:54:12.160
up on different note in this octave of infinity,
1277
00:54:12.160 --> 00:54:14.360
that is potential.
1278
00:54:14.360 --> 00:54:16.000
And so we can start to code.
1279
00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:18.120
And once we have those realizations
1280
00:54:18.120 --> 00:54:19.840
within our body, things change.
1281
00:54:19.840 --> 00:54:22.000
And so there are tools that you can,
1282
00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:23.040
there are tools that you can do,
1283
00:54:23.040 --> 00:54:24.920
whether it's meditation or writing prompts
1284
00:54:24.920 --> 00:54:29.800
or just experiences of that truth.
1285
00:54:29.800 --> 00:54:32.360
Let's put this in, you know, if you have to give somebody
1286
00:54:32.360 --> 00:54:35.040
to take a ways to start practicing right away.
1287
00:54:35.040 --> 00:54:37.560
He said journaling is a great way to practice.
1288
00:54:37.560 --> 00:54:38.400
Yeah.
1289
00:54:38.400 --> 00:54:39.240
What else?
1290
00:54:39.240 --> 00:54:40.600
How do you acknowledge like the note?
1291
00:54:40.600 --> 00:54:42.040
How do you tune into your frequency?
1292
00:54:42.040 --> 00:54:44.360
Like how would you prescribe that
1293
00:54:44.360 --> 00:54:45.760
to a client that you're working with?
1294
00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:49.280
Okay, so here is, if you want to go back to Deepak.
1295
00:54:49.320 --> 00:54:53.720
And this was like, it's so transformational for me.
1296
00:54:53.720 --> 00:54:58.720
So he would say, you know, ask yourself, who am I?
1297
00:55:00.920 --> 00:55:03.440
And but don't try to answer it.
1298
00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:05.200
And now just sit there with that.
1299
00:55:05.200 --> 00:55:06.040
Yeah.
1300
00:55:06.040 --> 00:55:09.880
And then ask yourself, what am I?
1301
00:55:09.880 --> 00:55:11.480
And don't try to answer, just sit.
1302
00:55:11.480 --> 00:55:16.560
Now ask yourself, who is asking yourself, who and what am I?
1303
00:55:16.560 --> 00:55:17.360
Yeah.
1304
00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:21.480
And then start to focus in on this idea of I am
1305
00:55:21.480 --> 00:55:24.720
as the creator of all things, right?
1306
00:55:24.720 --> 00:55:26.720
And that you are not, like I said before,
1307
00:55:26.720 --> 00:55:28.400
you are not the way of you or the ocean.
1308
00:55:28.400 --> 00:55:30.640
And just that concept can be mind blowing.
1309
00:55:30.640 --> 00:55:31.480
Oh, yeah.
1310
00:55:31.480 --> 00:55:33.840
But then when you just close your eyes and just sit
1311
00:55:33.840 --> 00:55:35.960
with it without trying to answer it,
1312
00:55:35.960 --> 00:55:38.440
you start to be like, oh, I can almost
1313
00:55:38.440 --> 00:55:39.880
feel my energy expanding.
1314
00:55:41.080 --> 00:55:42.520
And then let me try to contract my energy.
1315
00:55:42.520 --> 00:55:44.480
I'm gonna think about like this camera
1316
00:55:44.480 --> 00:55:46.320
and I hope that I look good on it.
1317
00:55:46.320 --> 00:55:48.720
And I hope that I'm smart when people listen
1318
00:55:48.720 --> 00:55:49.560
to this podcast.
1319
00:55:49.560 --> 00:55:51.120
And what if they don't?
1320
00:55:51.120 --> 00:55:52.680
What would that mean for me?
1321
00:55:52.680 --> 00:55:55.840
And I can feel myself getting back into my body
1322
00:55:56.840 --> 00:55:58.560
and I'm like, it's starting to contract.
1323
00:55:58.560 --> 00:56:01.880
And I'm like, oh, someone is gonna resonate with this
1324
00:56:01.880 --> 00:56:05.240
on the frequency of energy that this is resonating with.
1325
00:56:05.240 --> 00:56:07.640
And someone that hears me say, you are the ocean
1326
00:56:07.640 --> 00:56:10.400
and not the wave is going to resonate freely.
1327
00:56:10.400 --> 00:56:13.080
And like, okay, now I'm expanding again.
1328
00:56:13.080 --> 00:56:17.640
And now my consciousness realizes that I'm more than this.
1329
00:56:18.760 --> 00:56:21.280
And that's, yeah, it's a little obscure.
1330
00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:22.760
So that's where you start.
1331
00:56:22.760 --> 00:56:24.800
Would you say in understanding that?
1332
00:56:24.800 --> 00:56:26.680
So sitting with that question,
1333
00:56:26.680 --> 00:56:28.240
that was the one question from the astronomer
1334
00:56:28.240 --> 00:56:29.800
that we've had since I was little.
1335
00:56:29.800 --> 00:56:30.680
Who am I?
1336
00:56:30.680 --> 00:56:31.440
Who am I?
1337
00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:32.280
Who am I?
1338
00:56:32.280 --> 00:56:33.240
Who is the voice?
1339
00:56:33.240 --> 00:56:35.080
And it wasn't until I was older
1340
00:56:35.080 --> 00:56:37.000
and I mentioned I had gone to India
1341
00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:40.000
and I understood, okay, here I am.
1342
00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:41.840
I'm feeling my healthiest.
1343
00:56:41.880 --> 00:56:43.840
I'm feeling my happiest.
1344
00:56:43.840 --> 00:56:45.520
I have no things.
1345
00:56:45.520 --> 00:56:46.760
There's no belongings.
1346
00:56:46.760 --> 00:56:48.080
There's no car.
1347
00:56:48.080 --> 00:56:50.640
I'm not identifying with a job or people
1348
00:56:50.640 --> 00:56:52.440
or place or things that I have.
1349
00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:54.880
And here I am feeling my happiness.
1350
00:56:54.880 --> 00:56:57.200
And then that moment is like, oh, my God,
1351
00:56:57.200 --> 00:56:58.560
it's that feeling of expansion.
1352
00:56:58.560 --> 00:57:01.360
Like this, God, I'm so happy.
1353
00:57:01.360 --> 00:57:03.040
I don't think that it's a coincidence
1354
00:57:03.040 --> 00:57:06.280
that I felt healthiest in those moments.
1355
00:57:06.280 --> 00:57:07.640
Right, yeah, totally.
1356
00:57:07.640 --> 00:57:10.600
Your body is like, yay, I'm so happy
1357
00:57:10.600 --> 00:57:12.080
that you feel happy.
1358
00:57:12.080 --> 00:57:15.000
Do you think it's possible to live every day like that?
1359
00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:17.800
No, and that's okay.
1360
00:57:17.800 --> 00:57:21.360
That's why we're having this human experience, right?
1361
00:57:21.360 --> 00:57:23.600
There's suffering, and it's okay.
1362
00:57:23.600 --> 00:57:26.560
And so then people say, well, you know, like,
1363
00:57:26.560 --> 00:57:30.800
does that mean that I have to go live at the astronomer?
1364
00:57:30.800 --> 00:57:33.680
And yeah, if I went to the astronomer in Malibu,
1365
00:57:33.680 --> 00:57:34.680
it's expensive.
1366
00:57:34.680 --> 00:57:38.480
Yeah, I want more than those almonds
1367
00:57:38.480 --> 00:57:40.360
that they're giving me.
1368
00:57:40.360 --> 00:57:43.480
And so it's like, okay, no, that's not it.
1369
00:57:43.480 --> 00:57:46.960
It's being able to touch that ocean of like love
1370
00:57:46.960 --> 00:57:50.960
and consciousness that says, oh, I can be more in abundance.
1371
00:57:50.960 --> 00:57:54.440
And therefore, less attached to the things that I have.
1372
00:57:54.440 --> 00:57:57.240
And more like when in doubt focusing out
1373
00:57:57.240 --> 00:57:59.800
and helping people and my human experience
1374
00:57:59.800 --> 00:58:01.640
becomes that much more well-rounded.
1375
00:58:01.640 --> 00:58:04.840
And when I have an issue or when I can't figure out
1376
00:58:04.840 --> 00:58:08.440
where I want to live, it's not at the end of the world.
1377
00:58:08.480 --> 00:58:11.800
It's a new experience that I'm going to overcome.
1378
00:58:11.800 --> 00:58:12.680
And trust.
1379
00:58:12.680 --> 00:58:13.520
And trust.
1380
00:58:13.520 --> 00:58:14.400
And by the way, yeah.
1381
00:58:14.400 --> 00:58:16.400
And like, and when I get depressed,
1382
00:58:16.400 --> 00:58:19.440
I'm not going to eat and I, you know, a bunch of fries
1383
00:58:19.440 --> 00:58:20.840
until I can't get out of bed.
1384
00:58:20.840 --> 00:58:25.840
There was a time in my life where I almost killed my dog.
1385
00:58:26.400 --> 00:58:27.240
Oh.
1386
00:58:27.240 --> 00:58:28.080
Yes.
1387
00:58:28.080 --> 00:58:29.080
Yes.
1388
00:58:29.080 --> 00:58:30.920
Little for, excuse me.
1389
00:58:30.920 --> 00:58:32.320
I was just going to use terrible language.
1390
00:58:32.320 --> 00:58:35.440
But this little guy is a big guy.
1391
00:58:35.440 --> 00:58:40.080
He got pancreatitis because I was feeding him
1392
00:58:40.080 --> 00:58:43.080
like Shake Shack, which is, you know, Shake Shack is
1393
00:58:43.080 --> 00:58:44.920
an out burger here.
1394
00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:45.920
Yeah.
1395
00:58:45.920 --> 00:58:48.880
I was like in my sadness.
1396
00:58:48.880 --> 00:58:52.560
And like I would never mind exercise.
1397
00:58:52.560 --> 00:58:53.400
Yeah.
1398
00:58:53.400 --> 00:58:56.160
I would forget, like I would just be in the house
1399
00:58:56.160 --> 00:58:57.320
eating Shake Shack.
1400
00:58:57.320 --> 00:58:58.160
Yeah.
1401
00:58:58.160 --> 00:59:01.600
Like burgers, fries, and like milkshakes.
1402
00:59:01.600 --> 00:59:04.800
And I would be feeding my buddy.
1403
00:59:04.800 --> 00:59:05.800
Yeah.
1404
00:59:05.800 --> 00:59:06.800
And he was fine.
1405
00:59:06.800 --> 00:59:08.040
And he literally got pancreatitis.
1406
00:59:08.040 --> 00:59:10.720
I'm like, and I'm like, why is this dog at pancreatitis?
1407
00:59:10.720 --> 00:59:12.280
Does he have a high fat diet?
1408
00:59:12.280 --> 00:59:14.320
And I'd be like, oh, more than that.
1409
00:59:14.320 --> 00:59:16.560
I've been poisoning my dog.
1410
00:59:16.560 --> 00:59:20.200
And so when I realized that like, when I started to remove
1411
00:59:20.200 --> 00:59:24.480
that sadness, and when I started to like really touch in
1412
00:59:24.480 --> 00:59:27.880
like, oh, the expansiveness of love, I just naturally ate
1413
00:59:27.880 --> 00:59:28.880
better.
1414
00:59:28.880 --> 00:59:29.880
Right.
1415
00:59:29.880 --> 00:59:34.720
And sometimes that difficulty, that real fear was a wake-up call.
1416
00:59:34.960 --> 00:59:35.960
Yeah.
1417
00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:38.320
It's a profound lesson to go through.
1418
00:59:38.320 --> 00:59:41.400
Something like that obviously is very drastic, right?
1419
00:59:41.400 --> 00:59:42.880
And it was poisoning your dog.
1420
00:59:42.880 --> 00:59:45.280
It caused illness within the body.
1421
00:59:45.280 --> 00:59:48.320
And I think it's really easy to just kind of dismiss the
1422
00:59:48.320 --> 00:59:51.400
things that we've become so accustomed to eating here or
1423
00:59:51.400 --> 00:59:54.560
a way that we have become accustomed to living.
1424
00:59:54.560 --> 00:59:56.120
Stress, for example, right?
1425
00:59:56.120 --> 00:59:57.880
You would not have mentioned stress.
1426
00:59:57.880 --> 00:59:59.960
I think we're more stressed now than we've ever been in
1427
00:59:59.960 --> 01:00:01.080
history.
1428
01:00:01.080 --> 01:00:03.960
And that's why I think that work like this is so
1429
01:00:03.960 --> 01:00:07.760
important because what we're seeing outside of us is
1430
01:00:07.760 --> 01:00:08.600
broken.
1431
01:00:08.600 --> 01:00:11.360
But here we are sharing experiences of how we've gone
1432
01:00:11.360 --> 01:00:12.280
inward.
1433
01:00:12.280 --> 01:00:15.200
And we felt the feeling of healing without any of the
1434
01:00:15.200 --> 01:00:17.200
exterior needed, right?
1435
01:00:17.200 --> 01:00:20.560
So this is a perfect segue to tie into manifestation.
1436
01:00:20.560 --> 01:00:21.080
Great.
1437
01:00:21.080 --> 01:00:25.240
Another category online, which you see, you know, so many people
1438
01:00:25.240 --> 01:00:27.200
talking about how to do it, how to manifest.
1439
01:00:27.200 --> 01:00:30.960
And it's unfortunate that it's typically around things like
1440
01:00:30.960 --> 01:00:35.680
wealth and acquiring things and stuff like that instead of
1441
01:00:35.680 --> 01:00:39.320
just like the feeling of abundance and that expansion, right?
1442
01:00:39.320 --> 01:00:42.520
So talk to us about how you teach manifestation to your
1443
01:00:42.520 --> 01:00:43.520
clients.
1444
01:00:43.520 --> 01:00:46.200
And really, ultimately, it's hypnotherapy and visualization
1445
01:00:46.200 --> 01:00:47.360
that tie into it as well.
1446
01:00:47.360 --> 01:00:48.680
Yeah.
1447
01:00:48.680 --> 01:00:51.000
I can remember one of the biggest aha moments I had a
1448
01:00:51.000 --> 01:00:52.320
realization.
1449
01:00:52.320 --> 01:00:55.440
And this is going to a long way to lead up to your question.
1450
01:00:55.440 --> 01:00:56.920
So maybe not that long.
1451
01:00:56.920 --> 01:00:58.640
But do you know Talbin Shaw?
1452
01:00:58.640 --> 01:01:00.600
OK, he was a Harvard professor.
1453
01:01:00.600 --> 01:01:01.800
He wrote the book happier.
1454
01:01:01.800 --> 01:01:02.280
Oh, yeah.
1455
01:01:02.280 --> 01:01:05.680
And I don't know, maybe 12, 15 years ago, it was like a
1456
01:01:05.680 --> 01:01:06.760
bestseller.
1457
01:01:06.760 --> 01:01:09.920
And so maybe longer than that.
1458
01:01:09.920 --> 01:01:10.640
Anyway, I picked up.
1459
01:01:10.640 --> 01:01:12.400
I went to like Miravall.
1460
01:01:12.400 --> 01:01:14.880
Now, I was like, I'm going on my, this is like my healthy
1461
01:01:14.880 --> 01:01:15.840
spiritual thing.
1462
01:01:15.840 --> 01:01:19.480
I'm going to go to Miravall, which people will be like, if
1463
01:01:19.480 --> 01:01:22.080
you look up Miravall, perhaps that was like the bubble gum
1464
01:01:22.080 --> 01:01:23.880
version of like healthy spiritual.
1465
01:01:23.880 --> 01:01:27.680
But anyway, I went and I brought Talbin Shaw's book around.
1466
01:01:27.680 --> 01:01:31.600
And I started reading it and I had this kind of realization.
1467
01:01:31.600 --> 01:01:36.480
And the realization was the ultimate currency is happiness
1468
01:01:36.480 --> 01:01:37.920
and joy.
1469
01:01:37.920 --> 01:01:40.800
And we're buying it with working 60 hours a week so we have
1470
01:01:40.800 --> 01:01:42.880
enough money so that we can buy a vacation so we can
1471
01:01:42.880 --> 01:01:44.640
experience happiness and joy.
1472
01:01:44.640 --> 01:01:48.400
And we're like doing all the things so that we can buy
1473
01:01:48.400 --> 01:01:50.280
happiness and joy.
1474
01:01:50.280 --> 01:01:52.400
When the ultimate currency is that we can just go to
1475
01:01:52.400 --> 01:01:53.960
happiness and joy.
1476
01:01:53.960 --> 01:01:56.520
And perhaps you don't need the mega yacht.
1477
01:01:56.520 --> 01:01:59.600
That you've always hoped and dreamed for even the fancy car.
1478
01:01:59.600 --> 01:02:02.200
If you're already happy to send joy, maybe you don't need it.
1479
01:02:02.200 --> 01:02:02.720
Maybe you want it.
1480
01:02:02.720 --> 01:02:04.000
Maybe just get it.
1481
01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:09.600
So the way that I help people in manifestation is to say, OK,
1482
01:02:09.600 --> 01:02:10.960
manifestation is out here.
1483
01:02:10.960 --> 01:02:12.480
This is something that you want.
1484
01:02:12.480 --> 01:02:15.920
And realization is an integration within you.
1485
01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:19.440
When you realize something is true or that part of you
1486
01:02:19.440 --> 01:02:21.800
whatever happens, whatever needs to change.
1487
01:02:21.800 --> 01:02:24.400
And you have that aha moment like, oh, aha, the ultimate
1488
01:02:24.400 --> 01:02:25.520
currency is happiness and love.
1489
01:02:25.520 --> 01:02:27.160
And I can just get it right now.
1490
01:02:27.160 --> 01:02:30.440
Or it is aha, I can be in abundance with this.
1491
01:02:30.440 --> 01:02:34.320
And that will foster me in alignment with the energy of
1492
01:02:34.320 --> 01:02:36.680
other things and it will just start to flow.
1493
01:02:36.680 --> 01:02:41.120
And so we focus on the law of assumption, which means what I
1494
01:02:41.120 --> 01:02:43.760
assume to be true about myself, I will manifest.
1495
01:02:43.760 --> 01:02:45.720
It's not what I want, it's what I am.
1496
01:02:45.720 --> 01:02:49.640
And so if we can have an aha, a realization about what we're
1497
01:02:49.640 --> 01:02:53.120
assuming to be true about ourselves and change it, then
1498
01:02:53.120 --> 01:02:58.240
naturally, what we can change that assumption to, I am bad,
1499
01:02:58.240 --> 01:03:03.280
not worthy, not lovable, to I am lovable and worthy.
1500
01:03:03.280 --> 01:03:06.800
And therefore, there is my new girlfriend and boyfriend.
1501
01:03:06.800 --> 01:03:09.560
Or perhaps I don't even need that right now because I'm
1502
01:03:09.560 --> 01:03:11.680
feeling really in my zone on my own.
1503
01:03:11.680 --> 01:03:13.160
Everything changes.
1504
01:03:13.160 --> 01:03:13.920
Does that make sense?
1505
01:03:13.920 --> 01:03:14.760
Absolutely.
1506
01:03:14.760 --> 01:03:16.440
Maybe that was a little bit of a conflutrious.
1507
01:03:16.440 --> 01:03:18.600
No, I think it makes total sense.
1508
01:03:18.600 --> 01:03:21.560
And what it's making me think of this concept of, you know,
1509
01:03:21.560 --> 01:03:23.120
like spiritual bypassing, right?
1510
01:03:23.120 --> 01:03:23.800
Yeah.
1511
01:03:23.800 --> 01:03:27.640
So you and I through our healing journeys, we probably have to,
1512
01:03:27.640 --> 01:03:31.040
I don't, I know for you, going through things, like going
1513
01:03:31.040 --> 01:03:33.040
through the turmoil and the sadness.
1514
01:03:33.040 --> 01:03:36.560
And when I'm, I'll speak for myself when I'm in the suffering
1515
01:03:36.560 --> 01:03:39.760
of it and not feeling it and waking up with anxiety and feeling
1516
01:03:39.760 --> 01:03:44.400
like I'm not connected to the river of love and joy and happiness,
1517
01:03:44.400 --> 01:03:48.240
I judge myself, I easily go back, this is it, this is my life.
1518
01:03:48.240 --> 01:03:51.480
And then I become aware, oh, here I am doing it again.
1519
01:03:51.480 --> 01:03:54.840
And I'm manifesting my reality based on how I'm experiencing
1520
01:03:54.840 --> 01:03:58.080
my everyday life and hear those common threads over and over
1521
01:03:58.080 --> 01:03:59.240
and over again, right?
1522
01:03:59.240 --> 01:04:01.600
And it's so easy to just say, no, well, screw it.
1523
01:04:01.600 --> 01:04:03.280
I'm going to work harder, I'm going to do more,
1524
01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:05.560
I'm going to hire the right coach and I'm just going to get
1525
01:04:05.560 --> 01:04:06.400
there, right?
1526
01:04:06.400 --> 01:04:06.920
Yeah.
1527
01:04:06.920 --> 01:04:10.560
I'm a big believer though, your state really matters, right?
1528
01:04:10.560 --> 01:04:13.720
Your state of being if you're trying to manifest matters.
1529
01:04:13.720 --> 01:04:14.920
Can you speak more to that?
1530
01:04:14.920 --> 01:04:16.400
I believe so too, right?
1531
01:04:16.400 --> 01:04:19.880
So the state and how you're feeling, right?
1532
01:04:20.880 --> 01:04:24.400
If your energy is low and you're down and you're feeling down,
1533
01:04:24.400 --> 01:04:26.080
you can see what you'll create more.
1534
01:04:26.080 --> 01:04:28.280
It's like a vicious, it's a vicious cycle.
1535
01:04:28.280 --> 01:04:29.120
Yeah.
1536
01:04:29.120 --> 01:04:32.680
Or self perpetuating, it will just continue.
1537
01:04:32.680 --> 01:04:37.480
And if you start movement or start to change into a different state,
1538
01:04:37.480 --> 01:04:42.440
but you start to step into the energy of what you want.
1539
01:04:42.440 --> 01:04:46.560
But back to your spiritual bypassing, does that mean then?
1540
01:04:46.560 --> 01:04:54.560
We can't ever feel pain, anxiety, or sadness, right?
1541
01:04:54.560 --> 01:04:59.400
And I believe the answer is no, you have to tell someone
1542
01:04:59.400 --> 01:05:03.720
with trauma that they shouldn't be feeling their trauma or depression.
1543
01:05:03.720 --> 01:05:08.320
That you should just, there was no, I've heard people say, there's no depression.
1544
01:05:08.320 --> 01:05:12.440
I'm pretty sure that person's feeling pain and depression.
1545
01:05:12.440 --> 01:05:16.440
And so one of the things that I learned most was
1546
01:05:16.440 --> 01:05:19.600
you can take that pain and depression into a cave.
1547
01:05:19.600 --> 01:05:21.000
In wrestle with it.
1548
01:05:21.000 --> 01:05:24.400
And there's probably a bear in that cave too, and it's going to attack.
1549
01:05:24.400 --> 01:05:27.120
Or you can take that pain and depression into a tunnel,
1550
01:05:27.120 --> 01:05:29.320
because there's something at the end of it.
1551
01:05:29.320 --> 01:05:31.080
There's a light at the end of that tunnel.
1552
01:05:31.080 --> 01:05:33.680
And so you can feel it and move through it
1553
01:05:33.680 --> 01:05:37.640
as opposed to living with it in a dark cave with a bear, right?
1554
01:05:37.640 --> 01:05:41.200
But one has to have acceptance, and then you have to move your state.
1555
01:05:41.720 --> 01:05:44.320
I mean, that's a difficulty for me
1556
01:05:44.320 --> 01:05:47.520
because I had that physical issue for so long
1557
01:05:47.520 --> 01:05:51.160
that your body perpetuates kind of your emotions
1558
01:05:51.160 --> 01:05:52.760
if you go there first.
1559
01:05:52.760 --> 01:05:55.160
And so when you're in pain physically
1560
01:05:55.160 --> 01:05:58.520
and you're not moving, then you're going to be emotionally in pain.
1561
01:05:58.520 --> 01:06:02.760
So you have to have extreme power to start to change it.
1562
01:06:02.760 --> 01:06:05.520
And you can, just a little bit of motivation at first.
1563
01:06:05.520 --> 01:06:07.560
Yeah, really interested in this,
1564
01:06:07.560 --> 01:06:10.760
especially because of the rates of anxiety related disorders
1565
01:06:10.760 --> 01:06:12.440
with adults and kids.
1566
01:06:12.440 --> 01:06:15.520
Like they're continuing to go up despite what's becoming aware
1567
01:06:15.520 --> 01:06:18.080
on mindfulness practices and stuff like that.
1568
01:06:18.080 --> 01:06:22.080
And hearing you speak, I wonder how much of it is affirming.
1569
01:06:22.080 --> 01:06:24.600
For the longest time, I was constantly affirming.
1570
01:06:24.600 --> 01:06:25.800
Anxiety is my blueprint.
1571
01:06:25.800 --> 01:06:27.880
Anxiety is my blueprint. Anxiety is my blueprint.
1572
01:06:27.880 --> 01:06:29.960
So I was just affirming that I was always going to be anxious
1573
01:06:29.960 --> 01:06:31.120
and that was my norm.
1574
01:06:31.120 --> 01:06:33.040
So if there is someone that's listening
1575
01:06:33.040 --> 01:06:34.800
who has anxiety or depression,
1576
01:06:34.800 --> 01:06:37.040
is there a first step that you would take with them?
1577
01:06:37.040 --> 01:06:41.680
Is it the recognizing of the identifying of the label?
1578
01:06:41.680 --> 01:06:42.520
Yeah.
1579
01:06:42.520 --> 01:06:45.160
Is it experiencing the feeling of peace?
1580
01:06:45.160 --> 01:06:46.880
Yeah, well, there's both.
1581
01:06:46.880 --> 01:06:51.000
What one is, if I speak to you and a cadence like this,
1582
01:06:51.000 --> 01:06:54.320
and I say, all you have to do, there's nothing they have to do,
1583
01:06:54.320 --> 01:06:56.960
except for listening to my voice for just one moment.
1584
01:06:56.960 --> 01:07:00.880
And as I do talk and you do listen to my voice,
1585
01:07:00.880 --> 01:07:03.920
and you start to notice that perhaps your shoulders
1586
01:07:03.960 --> 01:07:05.600
settle a little bit.
1587
01:07:05.600 --> 01:07:09.440
And if you can feel even the tiniest bit of relief from that,
1588
01:07:09.440 --> 01:07:11.480
then you know that you have a chance
1589
01:07:11.480 --> 01:07:13.200
of overcoming your anxiety.
1590
01:07:13.200 --> 01:07:14.520
That's the first thing.
1591
01:07:14.520 --> 01:07:18.160
The second thing is, I don't say that I am sick
1592
01:07:18.160 --> 01:07:19.320
or I am an illness.
1593
01:07:19.320 --> 01:07:24.000
I say, my body, my body has a difficulty
1594
01:07:24.000 --> 01:07:27.960
or don't make something your identity.
1595
01:07:29.160 --> 01:07:33.200
So I am, is the most powerful mantra spelled,
1596
01:07:33.200 --> 01:07:35.040
whatever you want to cast.
1597
01:07:35.040 --> 01:07:38.560
So you can start to say, I'm not my anxiety.
1598
01:07:38.560 --> 01:07:42.560
You can start to say things that will reaffirm that you,
1599
01:07:42.560 --> 01:07:45.640
this is something that you may be experiencing in this moment.
1600
01:07:45.640 --> 01:07:49.040
But even with a small, simple exercise,
1601
01:07:49.040 --> 01:07:50.120
you can start to diminish it.
1602
01:07:50.120 --> 01:07:51.920
That means that it's movable
1603
01:07:51.920 --> 01:07:53.840
and something different is achievable.
1604
01:07:53.840 --> 01:07:56.120
And the third, when you disidentify,
1605
01:07:56.120 --> 01:07:58.240
is if that's even a word, when you start to stop,
1606
01:07:58.240 --> 01:08:01.480
I define with it by saying like, I am not,
1607
01:08:01.520 --> 01:08:03.320
I am not my anxiety.
1608
01:08:03.320 --> 01:08:06.120
And it's things just start to change for you.
1609
01:08:06.120 --> 01:08:09.120
Because if you're not your anxiety, then when are you?
1610
01:08:09.120 --> 01:08:11.320
Well, it could be something better, bigger.
1611
01:08:11.320 --> 01:08:13.280
I took a big exhale as you were speaking.
1612
01:08:13.280 --> 01:08:15.680
So I'm sure a lot of people who are going to listen
1613
01:08:15.680 --> 01:08:17.480
to this will do that too.
1614
01:08:17.480 --> 01:08:19.680
Yeah, it's an important, a very important point.
1615
01:08:19.680 --> 01:08:21.960
And I wanted you to kind of hover on it for a second
1616
01:08:21.960 --> 01:08:24.600
because I feel like healing for different people
1617
01:08:24.600 --> 01:08:26.360
is going to come in different ways
1618
01:08:26.360 --> 01:08:28.640
and acknowledging at different set points.
1619
01:08:28.640 --> 01:08:31.160
Like how are they going to enter into this world?
1620
01:08:31.160 --> 01:08:33.840
Which is hearing you speak was really great advice.
1621
01:08:41.320 --> 01:08:43.840
I want to take a quick break to share something
1622
01:08:43.840 --> 01:08:45.120
that's become a game changer
1623
01:08:45.120 --> 01:08:47.280
in my personal wellness routine lately.
1624
01:08:47.280 --> 01:08:49.680
It's ancient nutrition's multi-collegiate
1625
01:08:49.680 --> 01:08:51.560
advanced lean supplement.
1626
01:08:51.560 --> 01:08:54.480
You all know I love natural science back solutions
1627
01:08:54.480 --> 01:08:55.680
to feel my best.
1628
01:08:55.680 --> 01:08:57.840
So let me tell you about ancient nutrition's approach
1629
01:08:57.840 --> 01:09:01.320
of combining ancient wisdom with modern research.
1630
01:09:01.320 --> 01:09:03.600
Their mission really resonated with me,
1631
01:09:03.600 --> 01:09:05.400
creating high quality supplements
1632
01:09:05.400 --> 01:09:08.720
that harness the power of time-tested nutrition.
1633
01:09:08.720 --> 01:09:10.880
What I love about their multi-collegiate
1634
01:09:10.880 --> 01:09:14.320
advanced lean formula is that it contains not just one,
1635
01:09:14.320 --> 01:09:18.960
but 10 types of collagen from 10 real food sources.
1636
01:09:18.960 --> 01:09:22.240
We're talking a full spectrum bioavailable
1637
01:09:22.240 --> 01:09:25.280
collagen powerhouse, but it gets better.
1638
01:09:25.280 --> 01:09:27.680
This blend is super charged with clinically
1639
01:09:27.680 --> 01:09:30.840
studied ingredients to support healthy weight management,
1640
01:09:30.840 --> 01:09:33.360
fat loss, and lean muscle growth.
1641
01:09:33.360 --> 01:09:36.040
The older I get, the more I feel those aches
1642
01:09:36.040 --> 01:09:38.680
and pains creeping in, especially in my joints.
1643
01:09:38.680 --> 01:09:41.960
Well, collagen is like the glue that holds our bodies together
1644
01:09:41.960 --> 01:09:44.640
and supplementing with it can make a noticeable difference
1645
01:09:44.640 --> 01:09:45.920
in joint comfort.
1646
01:09:45.920 --> 01:09:47.800
Not to mention, it's amazing for skin,
1647
01:09:47.800 --> 01:09:50.000
for hair, for nail health, and hello,
1648
01:09:50.000 --> 01:09:52.600
a really youthful glow, which I'll take.
1649
01:09:52.640 --> 01:09:55.440
Since I started taking this supplement consistently,
1650
01:09:55.440 --> 01:09:57.960
I've noticed that my energy is more stable throughout the day.
1651
01:09:57.960 --> 01:10:00.560
My skin looks more plump and more radiant,
1652
01:10:00.560 --> 01:10:02.760
and my joints definitely don't creak as much
1653
01:10:02.760 --> 01:10:04.080
when I wake up in the morning.
1654
01:10:04.080 --> 01:10:05.920
It's not a miracle, fountain of youth,
1655
01:10:05.920 --> 01:10:08.320
but wow, the difference is real.
1656
01:10:08.320 --> 01:10:11.120
So if you're looking for a clean, powerful way
1657
01:10:11.120 --> 01:10:14.160
to support your body's natural regeneration process
1658
01:10:14.160 --> 01:10:16.160
and feel your best at any age,
1659
01:10:16.160 --> 01:10:18.920
I highly recommend checking out ancient nutrition,

1670
01:10:52.240 --> 01:11:03.480
So I'm asking this again, because of the people want to know.
1671
01:11:03.480 --> 01:11:06.280
So for the sound bite, then, how can people begin
1672
01:11:06.280 --> 01:11:09.040
to build a new code of consciousness for themselves?
1673
01:11:09.040 --> 01:11:11.720
First, I want you to start asking, is that true?
1674
01:11:11.720 --> 01:11:12.720
Mm-hmm.
1675
01:11:12.720 --> 01:11:17.320
And if it is true, this belief, this story that you're telling,
1676
01:11:18.280 --> 01:11:20.440
if it is true, where do I find it?
1677
01:11:20.440 --> 01:11:21.880
That's the first step.
1678
01:11:21.880 --> 01:11:26.960
I want you to start challenging your stories and beliefs.
1679
01:11:26.960 --> 01:11:29.840
Second step is I want you to start to write down
1680
01:11:29.840 --> 01:11:32.160
the five stories that you tell most.
1681
01:11:32.160 --> 01:11:35.440
The five things that you're talking about most,
1682
01:11:35.440 --> 01:11:37.200
that's story that you keep retelling
1683
01:11:37.200 --> 01:11:39.360
someone about your abusive father,
1684
01:11:39.360 --> 01:11:42.680
or about the toxic narcissistic X.
1685
01:11:42.680 --> 01:11:44.920
Like, what are you telling over and over again
1686
01:11:44.920 --> 01:11:46.520
because you are that story?
1687
01:11:46.520 --> 01:11:51.360
And so that's recognizing the cage that you're in,
1688
01:11:51.400 --> 01:11:53.800
based on your programming beliefs and stories,
1689
01:11:53.800 --> 01:11:57.280
is the very first step in coding a new consciousness.
1690
01:11:57.280 --> 01:11:59.720
Because when you realize that's a construct,
1691
01:11:59.720 --> 01:12:01.400
if you ever sell the matrix,
1692
01:12:01.400 --> 01:12:04.320
the first rule is to realize that there is no spoon.
1693
01:12:04.320 --> 01:12:06.760
So if you realize that that's the cage you're in,
1694
01:12:06.760 --> 01:12:08.960
then awareness is the very first part.
1695
01:12:08.960 --> 01:12:12.440
Like, oh, look at that cage, you're a minute, right?
1696
01:12:12.440 --> 01:12:15.640
Instead of like, I'm in a fishbowl
1697
01:12:15.640 --> 01:12:17.320
and I've just been swimming around the ocean,
1698
01:12:17.320 --> 01:12:19.840
but really you're in a small glass of water.
1699
01:12:19.840 --> 01:12:23.320
So that's the very first part is to start challenging
1700
01:12:23.320 --> 01:12:26.040
some of these things and to build awareness around it
1701
01:12:26.040 --> 01:12:28.160
by first saying, what's writing down?
1702
01:12:28.160 --> 01:12:30.040
What stories do I tell most?
1703
01:12:30.040 --> 01:12:32.400
And it's like, oh, okay, those helping are hurting me.
1704
01:12:32.400 --> 01:12:35.400
That's powerful because I thought you were gonna say
1705
01:12:35.400 --> 01:12:37.200
the story in your mind, I'm not good enough,
1706
01:12:37.200 --> 01:12:40.600
I'm not smart enough, but if you have to tap into this story
1707
01:12:40.600 --> 01:12:42.960
that comes up over and over and over,
1708
01:12:42.960 --> 01:12:45.600
that's your identity and like, that's your true identity.
1709
01:12:45.600 --> 01:12:46.600
Yeah.
1710
01:12:46.680 --> 01:12:50.320
And so those stories that you're telling other people,
1711
01:12:50.320 --> 01:12:55.120
that is the language of your identity, right?
1712
01:12:55.120 --> 01:12:56.600
That's the language of your identity
1713
01:12:56.600 --> 01:12:59.000
because our subconscious mind speaks in stories.
1714
01:12:59.000 --> 01:13:00.920
And so if we keep telling the story of our pain
1715
01:13:00.920 --> 01:13:02.280
we're identifying with it.
1716
01:13:02.280 --> 01:13:04.200
And therefore, I want you to look at like,
1717
01:13:04.200 --> 01:13:06.840
what are the five stories that you tell your most?
1718
01:13:06.840 --> 01:13:09.600
And usually, yeah, so that's awareness.
1719
01:13:09.600 --> 01:13:12.480
The second thing is take off all your clothes,
1720
01:13:12.480 --> 01:13:15.480
sit in front of a mirror and stare at yourself
1721
01:13:15.480 --> 01:13:18.880
until those whatever thoughts come up.
1722
01:13:18.880 --> 01:13:20.480
Just let all the thoughts come up.
1723
01:13:20.480 --> 01:13:24.960
Let them all come up and write them down
1724
01:13:24.960 --> 01:13:26.920
and then take them away and start to read them
1725
01:13:26.920 --> 01:13:28.240
and look at them and see like,
1726
01:13:28.240 --> 01:13:31.160
we really super honest with yourself
1727
01:13:31.160 --> 01:13:32.640
about what those thoughts are.
1728
01:13:32.640 --> 01:13:35.920
And don't stop them, just allow them, even if it's difficult.
1729
01:13:35.920 --> 01:13:38.800
And so that's the first step in starting to code your awareness
1730
01:13:38.800 --> 01:13:40.840
because you're starting to realize
1731
01:13:40.840 --> 01:13:43.720
and bring awareness to coding your new consciousness
1732
01:13:43.720 --> 01:13:46.320
because you start to realize and bring real,
1733
01:13:46.320 --> 01:13:50.400
real intention around the cage that you're in
1734
01:13:50.400 --> 01:13:52.200
that's based on your beliefs.
1735
01:13:52.200 --> 01:13:54.640
And we do say, I'm just thinking as a woman,
1736
01:13:54.640 --> 01:13:57.360
doing that exercise naked in front of a mirror,
1737
01:13:57.360 --> 01:13:59.120
you can imagine a lot of emotion can come out
1738
01:13:59.120 --> 01:14:02.080
for so many of us forcing yourself to do it again.
1739
01:14:02.080 --> 01:14:05.600
Are you working to get to a point where there's acceptance,
1740
01:14:05.600 --> 01:14:07.680
where there's no emotional aspect to it?
1741
01:14:07.680 --> 01:14:09.800
Yeah, we eventually want to get to it, right?
1742
01:14:09.800 --> 01:14:14.800
So of course, if it becomes two emotional ground yourself
1743
01:14:14.960 --> 01:14:16.960
like with a good friend or a good book
1744
01:14:16.960 --> 01:14:19.560
or like going out in nature or something like that.
1745
01:14:19.560 --> 01:14:22.640
But what the first real step is
1746
01:14:22.640 --> 01:14:24.200
before we get to all the other things,
1747
01:14:24.200 --> 01:14:27.240
which is Nikola Tesla's 369 method,
1748
01:14:27.240 --> 01:14:31.160
the theory, Einstein's theory of time
1749
01:14:31.160 --> 01:14:33.080
and a multi-dimensional universe
1750
01:14:33.080 --> 01:14:36.280
and how there's expanding our realities
1751
01:14:37.080 --> 01:14:40.080
or expanding forever, all those things
1752
01:14:40.080 --> 01:14:42.080
have to start with some awareness
1753
01:14:42.080 --> 01:14:43.720
about the cage that we're in
1754
01:14:43.720 --> 01:14:46.440
and the cage that we're in is based on
1755
01:14:46.440 --> 01:14:48.600
the terrible things that we say to ourselves
1756
01:14:48.600 --> 01:14:51.560
every day when we're with ourselves looking in the mirror
1757
01:14:51.560 --> 01:14:56.560
and building awareness of the stories that we have
1758
01:14:57.000 --> 01:15:00.280
and our subconscious beliefs that they're based on.
1759
01:15:01.480 --> 01:15:03.880
Would you say that manifestation was part
1760
01:15:03.880 --> 01:15:05.480
of the ceiling journey for you
1761
01:15:05.480 --> 01:15:07.600
as well as tuning into your consciousness?
1762
01:15:07.600 --> 01:15:12.600
Yeah, so I've changed my identity.
1763
01:15:13.440 --> 01:15:16.280
Not because at first because I didn't want to.
1764
01:15:16.280 --> 01:15:19.680
I was an athlete, I was like strong macho, dude.
1765
01:15:19.680 --> 01:15:20.520
Yeah.
1766
01:15:20.520 --> 01:15:22.280
And I was in finance,
1767
01:15:22.280 --> 01:15:25.200
trade around the floor of the stock exchange
1768
01:15:25.200 --> 01:15:29.600
and then when that's taken away because you can't walk anymore
1769
01:15:29.600 --> 01:15:31.600
and you can't play sports and you can't be tough
1770
01:15:31.600 --> 01:15:33.040
and all that stuff,
1771
01:15:33.040 --> 01:15:37.640
then your identity, your identity is forced to change.
1772
01:15:37.640 --> 01:15:39.520
And it's a blessing in a curse
1773
01:15:39.520 --> 01:15:42.360
because it's like, okay, what am I leaving behind
1774
01:15:42.360 --> 01:15:45.920
but also what am I stepping into this potential?
1775
01:15:45.920 --> 01:15:50.040
And then it's changed from entrepreneur to therapists
1776
01:15:50.040 --> 01:15:51.560
to all these things.
1777
01:15:51.560 --> 01:15:54.240
So this is the manifestation.
1778
01:15:54.240 --> 01:15:56.560
Your identity changes in your manifestation changes
1779
01:15:56.560 --> 01:16:01.560
and most recently my focus on my oneness, the I AM statement
1780
01:16:02.560 --> 01:16:06.360
is the most profound thing for me.
1781
01:16:06.360 --> 01:16:09.000
The word oneness also is a big one.
1782
01:16:09.000 --> 01:16:12.000
When we think about the world of quantum and healing
1783
01:16:12.000 --> 01:16:15.400
and entanglement as we kind of wind things down,
1784
01:16:15.400 --> 01:16:18.640
can you put a lens on the healing that you've done
1785
01:16:18.640 --> 01:16:20.920
and the fact that you and I are connected,
1786
01:16:20.920 --> 01:16:22.760
the healing that you and this beautiful
1787
01:16:22.760 --> 01:16:24.480
where you're guiding your clients to heal,
1788
01:16:24.480 --> 01:16:27.600
the impact that that means when they go out into the world?
1789
01:16:28.400 --> 01:16:33.200
So often there is this, well first I say there's a sheet.
1790
01:16:33.200 --> 01:16:35.600
Just put a sheet, put your hands on the sheet,
1791
01:16:35.600 --> 01:16:37.520
put your two fingers up through the sheet
1792
01:16:37.520 --> 01:16:40.080
and on top of the sheet you see two bumps.
1793
01:16:40.080 --> 01:16:42.320
Are they separate or are they one?
1794
01:16:42.320 --> 01:16:43.920
They're one, they're connected by the sheet.
1795
01:16:43.920 --> 01:16:46.880
It just has the illusion of two bumps being separate.
1796
01:16:46.880 --> 01:16:50.440
And that's us, we are the resonant energy of everything.
1797
01:16:50.440 --> 01:16:53.440
Now there's, it doesn't die.
1798
01:16:53.440 --> 01:16:55.360
And we have the same energy
1799
01:16:55.360 --> 01:16:58.920
as just a different frequency as that plant or this table.
1800
01:16:58.920 --> 01:17:03.720
So that means that we're experiencing
1801
01:17:03.720 --> 01:17:07.280
the same as everybody else.
1802
01:17:07.280 --> 01:17:10.080
And so we have the same energy as animals
1803
01:17:10.080 --> 01:17:12.520
in the earth and other people.
1804
01:17:12.520 --> 01:17:13.600
So we're not separate.
1805
01:17:13.600 --> 01:17:18.360
So the things that separates us are stories, beliefs
1806
01:17:18.360 --> 01:17:21.040
and programming and also are ego that says
1807
01:17:21.040 --> 01:17:23.280
that I have to protect all that stuff.
1808
01:17:23.280 --> 01:17:28.280
So when you start to say I've been really hurt by that X,
1809
01:17:29.360 --> 01:17:33.200
if you start to say I am them and everything starts to change,
1810
01:17:33.200 --> 01:17:35.680
you almost, you can't be mad anymore.
1811
01:17:35.680 --> 01:17:36.520
Yeah.
1812
01:17:36.520 --> 01:17:39.320
And it's not to say you shouldn't get really far away from them.
1813
01:17:39.320 --> 01:17:42.360
But it's to say that you can free yourself
1814
01:17:42.360 --> 01:17:45.000
from the cage that you're in by recognizing
1815
01:17:45.000 --> 01:17:48.600
that this is a manifestation of life itself of you.
1816
01:17:48.600 --> 01:17:50.280
Or if you see a homeless person on the street
1817
01:17:50.280 --> 01:17:53.240
that you wanna be like, oh God, this terrible person
1818
01:17:53.280 --> 01:17:58.120
on the street is I am that, I am her, I am him.
1819
01:17:58.120 --> 01:17:59.800
This woman in one of my groups,
1820
01:17:59.800 --> 01:18:02.120
she broke down because she had a liver transplant
1821
01:18:02.120 --> 01:18:05.240
saved her life and she found out the man was homeless
1822
01:18:05.240 --> 01:18:07.360
and had a profound effect on her for some
1823
01:18:07.360 --> 01:18:10.560
because she had, she's very wealthy
1824
01:18:10.560 --> 01:18:13.680
and she had looked down so much upon.
1825
01:18:13.680 --> 01:18:16.760
And now she has a liver from a man that was living on the street
1826
01:18:16.760 --> 01:18:18.240
and this is what's giving her life
1827
01:18:18.240 --> 01:18:20.400
and quite literally she is him.
1828
01:18:20.400 --> 01:18:23.520
And like everything's changed for her.
1829
01:18:23.520 --> 01:18:25.200
Everything's changed for her.
1830
01:18:25.200 --> 01:18:30.000
So yes, so this idea of oneness and connectedness
1831
01:18:30.000 --> 01:18:33.200
will free you from a lot of the biases, fear
1832
01:18:33.200 --> 01:18:34.600
and pain in your life.
1833
01:18:34.600 --> 01:18:37.280
I wanted to put that lens in the wisdom
1834
01:18:37.280 --> 01:18:38.640
and the way that you relay everything
1835
01:18:38.640 --> 01:18:41.520
because I think a healing journey
1836
01:18:41.520 --> 01:18:44.240
when we look at it through like a standard way
1837
01:18:44.240 --> 01:18:47.360
is often really selfish and self-absorbed
1838
01:18:47.360 --> 01:18:49.160
and often we can get lost.
1839
01:18:49.160 --> 01:18:50.640
Like we're just lost and all the things
1840
01:18:50.640 --> 01:18:53.120
that we need to do in order to feel good.
1841
01:18:53.120 --> 01:18:56.240
But often when we pull back and often you and I
1842
01:18:56.240 --> 01:18:57.920
if we can work with communities of people
1843
01:18:57.920 --> 01:18:59.680
or individuals one on one,
1844
01:18:59.680 --> 01:19:01.040
there's a feeling of expansion
1845
01:19:01.040 --> 01:19:02.880
and it becomes outside of ourselves
1846
01:19:02.880 --> 01:19:04.800
and all of a sudden we're not as in our head.
1847
01:19:04.800 --> 01:19:07.040
It's more a feeling of encouragement,
1848
01:19:07.040 --> 01:19:09.440
like what a joy that I get to do this.
1849
01:19:09.440 --> 01:19:11.600
And help to elevate the person beside me
1850
01:19:11.600 --> 01:19:13.560
or across from me or who I'm working with.
1851
01:19:13.560 --> 01:19:14.920
Yeah, and because we're one
1852
01:19:14.920 --> 01:19:16.480
it's also gonna help you.
1853
01:19:16.480 --> 01:19:17.600
It's gonna help me.
1854
01:19:17.640 --> 01:19:19.280
So yeah, if I'm helping you,
1855
01:19:19.280 --> 01:19:20.480
it's also gonna help me.
1856
01:19:20.480 --> 01:19:21.480
Yeah.
1857
01:19:21.480 --> 01:19:22.320
Yeah.
1858
01:19:22.320 --> 01:19:23.160
All right.
1859
01:19:23.160 --> 01:19:25.600
So such an honor to sit with you today.
1860
01:19:25.600 --> 01:19:26.560
It really is.
1861
01:19:26.560 --> 01:19:29.360
Tell us a little bit about where people can find you.
1862
01:19:29.360 --> 01:19:30.760
You can find me on Instagram.
1863
01:19:30.760 --> 01:19:31.600
It's a good way.
1864
01:19:31.600 --> 01:19:32.440
You're so good there.
1865
01:19:32.440 --> 01:19:33.280
You have so many great.
1866
01:19:33.280 --> 01:19:34.120
Jim Curtis won.
1867
01:19:34.120 --> 01:19:35.840
You look like you love social media.
1868
01:19:35.840 --> 01:19:36.680
Bye.
1869
01:19:38.080 --> 01:19:41.800
I'm not gonna say I have trouble making content.
1870
01:19:41.800 --> 01:19:42.840
Yeah, same.
1871
01:19:42.840 --> 01:19:43.680
Yeah.
1872
01:19:43.680 --> 01:19:45.400
I'm great in person in one-on-one.
1873
01:19:45.760 --> 01:19:48.520
Oh my God, what am I gonna say on this piece of content?
1874
01:19:48.520 --> 01:19:53.520
And so, but I'm grateful that people support me there.
1875
01:19:53.960 --> 01:19:55.080
I'm really grateful.
1876
01:19:55.080 --> 01:19:56.680
I'm really grateful that you paint a lens
1877
01:19:56.680 --> 01:20:01.320
that true healing is so much more than biochemical.
1878
01:20:01.320 --> 01:20:03.280
Yeah, there's so many aspects and part of ourselves
1879
01:20:03.280 --> 01:20:05.760
that we need to consider in order to feel true happiness
1880
01:20:05.760 --> 01:20:06.840
and freedom.
1881
01:20:06.840 --> 01:20:09.040
And you've set that word freedom a few times today.
1882
01:20:09.040 --> 01:20:12.200
And I think that your healing journey has certainly
1883
01:20:12.200 --> 01:20:13.560
given you a sense of freedom.
1884
01:20:13.560 --> 01:20:15.320
So thank you for that takeaway.
1885
01:20:15.320 --> 01:20:16.400
Okay, to wrap this up,
1886
01:20:16.400 --> 01:20:18.400
some quick rapid fire questions.
1887
01:20:18.400 --> 01:20:19.960
Order some of the most common mistakes
1888
01:20:19.960 --> 01:20:22.040
or misconceptions that you're saying people make
1889
01:20:22.040 --> 01:20:23.200
with their health.
1890
01:20:23.200 --> 01:20:24.640
Green juice is gonna heal you.
1891
01:20:26.960 --> 01:20:28.320
But it's not that easy.
1892
01:20:28.320 --> 01:20:31.480
I mean, green juice could heal you.
1893
01:20:31.480 --> 01:20:33.480
Get celery juice every morning.
1894
01:20:33.480 --> 01:20:36.800
I don't know, yeah, like, so these are rapid fire.
1895
01:20:36.800 --> 01:20:37.640
So I'll start there.
1896
01:20:37.640 --> 01:20:38.480
Okay.
1897
01:20:38.480 --> 01:20:39.480
That's great.
1898
01:20:39.480 --> 01:20:41.720
What's your favorite ancient healing remedy?
1899
01:20:41.720 --> 01:20:43.280
Acupuncture.
1900
01:20:43.280 --> 01:20:44.320
Love it.
1901
01:20:44.320 --> 01:20:46.280
If you had to pick something about modern medicine
1902
01:20:46.280 --> 01:20:47.840
that excites you, what would it be?
1903
01:20:47.840 --> 01:20:51.320
I love all of these biohacking things that are happening.
1904
01:20:51.320 --> 01:20:55.120
I'm like, actually, I'm doing cold plunging.
1905
01:20:55.120 --> 01:20:56.760
I'm doing red light therapy.
1906
01:20:58.240 --> 01:21:00.120
About to go to Nevada City to work
1907
01:21:00.120 --> 01:21:02.440
with a functional medicine doctor on peptides.
1908
01:21:02.440 --> 01:21:03.280
Very cool.
1909
01:21:03.280 --> 01:21:04.880
I really love all of these advances.
1910
01:21:04.880 --> 01:21:05.720
Yeah.
1911
01:21:05.720 --> 01:21:07.440
Is your house like a healing sanctuary?
1912
01:21:07.440 --> 01:21:09.120
If you've built in these things, do you're wrong?
1913
01:21:09.120 --> 01:21:11.240
Yeah, I have a bunch of these.
1914
01:21:11.720 --> 01:21:14.320
I have the beamer.
1915
01:21:14.320 --> 01:21:18.280
I have all these PMEFs and lights and all sorts of things.
1916
01:21:18.280 --> 01:21:19.280
Very cool.
1917
01:21:19.280 --> 01:21:22.160
If you had to give people one powerful daily habit
1918
01:21:22.160 --> 01:21:25.720
to radically shift their health and mindset, what would it be?
1919
01:21:25.720 --> 01:21:30.720
It would be 20 minutes of trans and self hypnosis
1920
01:21:30.720 --> 01:21:32.480
or trans hypnosis work.
1921
01:21:32.480 --> 01:21:35.640
And before we leave, can people find a recording
1922
01:21:35.640 --> 01:21:38.960
of that from you to get a taste of self hypnosis?
1923
01:21:39.040 --> 01:21:42.040
I may have said, yes, I actually posted a class
1924
01:21:42.040 --> 01:21:43.400
on my YouTube channel.
1925
01:21:43.400 --> 01:21:45.760
I'm just starting to do a YouTube channel.
1926
01:21:45.760 --> 01:21:47.680
So I posted a class.
1927
01:21:47.680 --> 01:21:50.880
It's like an hour and a half and at the last 20 minutes of it
1928
01:21:50.880 --> 01:21:53.240
will go into a guided visualization.
1929
01:21:53.240 --> 01:21:54.280
That's beautiful.
1930
01:21:54.280 --> 01:21:57.440
Okay, Jim Curtis, you have so much incredible content online
1931
01:21:57.440 --> 01:21:58.400
to guide people.
1932
01:21:58.400 --> 01:22:00.040
You're such a great teacher.
1933
01:22:00.040 --> 01:22:02.160
Can't wait to have you back in the future.
1934
01:22:02.160 --> 01:22:03.080
I'd love to come back.
1935
01:22:03.080 --> 01:22:04.480
Yeah, thank you so much.
1936
01:22:04.480 --> 01:22:05.320
Such a joy.
1937
01:22:05.320 --> 01:22:06.160
Thanks.
