WEBVTT - Dr. John Amaral on Unblocking Energy Flow 0:00:01.160 --> 0:00:03.520 Holy Human with Leanne Rhymes is a production of I 0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:11.239 Heart Radio. Hello, sweet souls, Welcome to this episode of 0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:14.520 Holy Human. Today we are going to tackle an elusive 0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:19.680 yet transformative topic, one I am just beginning to understand myself. 0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:22.720 We'll be journeying with a man who just recently helped 0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:25.400 me experience in a liveness in my body that I 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:28.120 have not felt in a really long time. His name 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:30.440 is Dr John Amoral, and he's going to walk us 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:34.519 through understanding something called energy flow and how utilizing it 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:38.559 and working with energy can help us all alleviate stress, tension, 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:42.400 and experience better health and more happiness. So let's jump 0:00:42.479 --> 0:01:10.200 right in wing that with me. John Tomorrow, thank you 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.200 so much for joining us on the Holy Human podcast. 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:17.200 I'm excited to talk energy with you because you were 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.040 so kind to give me a session so I could 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:26.200 experience your work, which was trippy and so cool. I 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:28.959 felt high after and and everything like felt like it 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:30.640 was breathing, which we'll get into it a bit. But 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:34.400 you have developed something called the Energy Fullow formula that 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.440 you've been working with for the last twenty five years. 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.319 So for someone who hasn't experienced your work, can you 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.400 explain what that formula is all about. First of all, 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.240 it was awesome working with you, and thank you. I'm 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.480 excited to talk to you about this. You're definitely a 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:51.560 very aware and connected human beings, so so we can 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.640 get into that whole process. But what happened is I 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:57.360 started out as a fine artist. I was a fine 0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:00.000 art major, and then I ended up going to chiropractic 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.160 college through a series of events that I had never 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.440 been to a chiropractor, never had any kind of body 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.560 work or any kind of healing work at all, and 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:11.160 I just found myself sort of taking this completely different 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:15.480 path into into healthcare and I became a chiropractor and 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.080 I built a practice in working with people. Over the years, 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.240 I found that so many that challenges people were facing 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:25.639 were experienced as physical symptoms, but they weren't actually from 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.160 physical causes. So you would have somebody in a relationship 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:32.000 challenge to stress going on. They would have financial stress, 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:33.880 they would have, you know, a lot a loss of 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:35.720 a loved one, they would have all these things that 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.800 were going on that we're not coming from a physical 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.080 injury or accident, but they were showing up as physical 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:45.320 symptoms in the body. Because we process what we can't 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.919 feel an experience on other levels through our physical symptoms. 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.640 That's kind of what our body does. So I just 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:56.880 started tying together people's experience of life, what they were 0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:00.640 going through, their emotions, they're unprocessed things that they had 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:04.200 been experiencing with their physical symptoms, and started developing ways 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.520 to work more with the whole person. And I love 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.080 you know your podcast as wholy human. It was like 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.080 the whole human being rather than just oh, you have 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.160 a something going on in your back or your shoulder, 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.720 or you have headaches or you have this symptom. I 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.720 realized that everything is interconnected in ways that if you 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.280 really start to look at your life and what's going 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.240 on in your life and how you're living your life, 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.200 and what you're dealing with and what you're not dealing with, 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.520 you're going to find that everything makes sense and the 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.280 things that are showing up in the body totally do 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:37.800 make sense. There symptoms become like a guide or signpost 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.720 for you to pay attention to make changes and deal 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.960 with things. And as I started putting all that together, 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.000 I started coming up with more kind of approaches and techniques, 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.000 and my studies took me all over the world to 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:53.240 South America, to Europe to Asia, to study with different people, 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.400 learn different approaches and techniques, and so I combine all 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.280 of these like practices and tools and ways of working 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:01.240 with the body on the body, off the body, and 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.960 the energy field which we can get into, and that 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:08.280 whole conglomeration of approaches to work with the whole person 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:12.400 became the formula well energy, I feel it can be. 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.280 An energy work can be really kind of an elusive 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.200 thing for a lot of people because we don't we 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.279 can't well some of us can see it, some of 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.599 us can hear it, but a lot of us can't. 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.400 It becomes this it's just this kind of concept, and 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:29.760 for me still it's I understand it, but sometimes I 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:34.600 don't quite know how to integrate like what I understand 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.400 when it comes to energy. So for those of us 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.400 who it's still a concept, can you maybe talk about 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.080 energy work and maybe ground it a little bit more, 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.560 explain why it's so important for us to learn to 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.200 work with our energy for our health. Those are great questions. 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.719 So firstly, we tend to think of and I grew 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:55.920 up with this same experience that anyone working with energy 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.800 or working with chakras are working with the energy body 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:00.080 or you know this is just a bunch of wi 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:04.680 will garblely goopy like nothing. But the truth is everything 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:08.800 is energy at the sub atomic level. The whole body 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:13.000 is really patterns of vibrating or oscillating energy. Every physicist 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.280 knows this. You know that it's it's essentially less than 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:19.200 five percent of the entire physical world that we experience 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.640 around us is actually physical matter. Everything, our bodies, what 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:26.320 we touch, what we see, what we experience is ninety 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.800 It is just pure energy. And even the matter is 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.760 actually energy at its core. So everything is energy. How 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.760 we're using that energy, whether that energy is flowing, whether 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.600 it's blocked or bound up, whether we experience a freedom 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:42.200 and a flow in a sense of ease, or where 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.919 we feel anxiety and pent up energy and bound up energy. 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:49.120 It's every emotion we feel, whether everything that we experience 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:52.560 on subtle levels in our mind is tied into energy. 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:54.880 I think one way to explain it is if you 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.839 boil water, it takes a certain threshold of energy to 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.840 hit boiling point of to it, and wealve degrees. If 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.640 you don't turn up enough heat energy, you don't change 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.479 the form of H two O into vapor. If you 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.240 drop energy in water, you pull the energy out of 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.960 it through put it in the freezer. That same H 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.400 to a molecule will become a solid, will become ice. 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.000 It's still H two oh, it's still the same molecules, 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.080 but by changing the amount of energy in that H 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.520 two oh, you change the form of it. And this 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.760 is really true for everything. Our bodies were mostly made 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:31.279 of water and energy. When you understand the energy is 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.160 a real thing, not just some woo woo thing that 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:37.800 doesn't have a tangible relationship to the physical world, you 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.360 start to go, well, that, actually, that's interesting. Like when 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.640 I feel depleted and depressed and I feel lethargic, it's 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.039 because you dropped your energy down to a level where 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.640 you can't even organize your thoughts. You can't even experience 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:52.280 or express higher level emotions because the energy is so low. 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.160 When you're just super high, you're expanded. It's like you've 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.520 hit the boiling point and now you're like expanding. That's 0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:59.960 what vapor does. Water turns into vapor and expands an 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:03.359 goes everywhere. So part of us is really all of 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.720 us is organized by by energy. In a very real 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:11.240 and tangible way. So that's number one. Number two, you 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.800 asked about our health. So when we have health challenges, 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.360 when we have let's say we have chronic headaches, So 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.880 let's say we have chronic adjustive stuff going on. Let's 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:23.040 say we have a sense of tension we just can't shake, 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:27.760 or a physical symptom that's been persistent, it just seems 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.560 like it's not going away. We have to understand that 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.880 when we're stressed out, that's and and stress can be 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.520 physical from injuries, it can be emotional from just stress 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:42.360 we're experience, and it can be mental psychological, and it 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.200 can be chemical by things we're putting into our bodies, 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:49.320 are exposing ourselves too. They all trigger the same fight 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.440 or flight response in the body. So when you're under stress, 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:59.480 your body tenses up, you breathe more, shallow, oxygen gets um. 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.120 You know, we're used to certain parts of your body, 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.880 and blood focus pushed out to the muscles. It gets 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:07.720 pushed away from your digestive system because it's preparing you 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:12.120 to be engaged with something you have to survive through fight, 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.120 flight or free You either run away from it, you 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:18.120 engage with it, or you freeze. And so usually when 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.440 you're having a physical symptom or health challenge, not usually 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.720 always there's some degree of fight or flight going on 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:28.280 where you're holding all this stuff in your body and 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:31.080 you're experiencing symptoms because there's so much bound up energy 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:32.280 that your brain is like, I don't know how to 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.440 deal with this. I'm going to experience it as pain 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.200 or I'm going to experience it as tension. I'm gonna 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:41.760 experience it in the physical because I can't process it 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.199 right now. I don't have the awareness or I don't 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.600 have the tools or support to deal with it on 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.600 the other levels. If that makes sense? Does that? Does 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:53.040 that make sense? Yeah? Yeah, totally. So how does energy 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.880 get stuck in the body? You're saying from from just 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.000 us not being aware enough to deal with these emotions 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.600 and or the physical pain that's coming up? I mean, 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:09.800 how do we the mechanism of how it actually gets there? Yeah? Like, 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.079 how does it actually gets Yeah? How does it actually 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.440 get stuck? It's easy to understand if you have an 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.600 accident or injury. Let's say you have a whiplash injury. 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:20.040 Someone rearends you from behind. Your next snaps back, and 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.520 next thing you know, a couple of days later, you 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:26.120 just feel seized up. You feel tension. Maybe a disk 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.800 is bulged. Maybe the musculatures like holding all this tension 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:33.760 because it got overstretched and then it contracted because the 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.880 body was trying to protect or grip or armor off 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:38.719 the area so that they wouldn't have further injuries. So 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:40.880 we can understand on a physical level, the body would 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.120 be injured, we recoil, we'd hold everything because the brain 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.720 is like, wait, this isn't safe. We have to create 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.520 some inflammation to protect this from further injury. Let's hold 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.720 all this together and make sure that we have time 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.560 to heal and sort this out. So that's easy to understand. 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:59.120 It's harder for people to bridge when it's like nothing's happening. 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.080 You're like, I look around and everything right now in 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:05.000 the world, it's like everything doesn't feel fine for most people. 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.199 But a lot of times we're like, my life is good, 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.080 Like there's a lot of positives and I'm grateful for things, 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.199 but like, why do I feel like there's a tension 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:13.840 I can't shake, or why do I have these headaches 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:15.959 or why do I have these physical symptoms? How does 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:20.600 that have to do with energy? Well the psychological mental 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:25.200 emotional stress of the concern about the future, anxiety from uncertainty, 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.760 unprocessed grief from the loss of a loved one or 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.440 from the loss of a job, or just financial stress 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:31.720 of like how am I gonna hold it all? How 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:33.839 we're gonna make it through this? All those kind of things, 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:38.439 They initiate the same fight or flight response in the 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:42.000 body as a whiplash. It's just from a different input. 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:45.960 So your mind can actually just from the experience of 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:49.560 the stressful situation, can then start to tighten up. We 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.199 feel it. We feel it when we feel overwhelmed, when 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:55.600 we feel scared, when we feel sad. It's like we 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.200 we we don't open and expand in this like free 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.640 flowing way. We're like holding it all, trying to hold it. 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.800 That's the fight or flight response. So what's happening there 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:06.440 is you're binding up energy in the muscles, You're you're 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.320 holding energy in the spine. Inside your spine, the whole 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:13.160 spinal cord stretches. Your spinal cord comes down from your 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:14.480 brain and goes down through your neck and goes all 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.080 the way down through to your tail boom. And it's 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.840 imagine a guitar string with a bunch of little filaments 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.560 running through your whole body, through the from top to bottom, 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:25.240 and then a bunch of little strings coming off of 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.560 that and they're all connected. That's kind of like what 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.280 the nervous system or central nervous system is like, where 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.800 when you're under stress, the whole thing goes under physical tension. 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:38.040 It's like tightening up the string and everything tightens in 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.280 the body, and the whole vibrational state of the body 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:44.040 changes with stress. And then when you release that, when 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:48.679 you let it go, the whole central nervous system relaxes physically. 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:52.840 It can stretch like over two inches, so inside your spine, 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:56.320 inside the little to going through the center of your body, 0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:01.240 that spinal cord is actually stretchable like multiple inches. So 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.920 when it's stretched, when it's tight, that's that's what fight 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:06.839 or flight does. It tightens it up because it's repairing you, 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.400 like coiling you up ready to react. When you let 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:12.440 it go, it's all goes back into flow. But what 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.240 happens is people tighten up and then they hold it, 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.200 and then they stack another stress on and they hold 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.200 it and they stuck another stress on, and there's no 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.720 real release, and then all that energy is just vibrating 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.720 in your body physically. It's not just like conceptually, it's 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:29.160 physically vibrating in the tissues of your body. That's how 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.080 I feel. I feel it right now we're talking about it. 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:35.280 I'm like, I literally I'm like shaking because I feel 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:39.680 I totally feel what you're talking about. And it's it's 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.280 interesting because when I think about, Okay, so I'm going 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.559 into this fear response or I'm having a stress or 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.480 in my life, it's almost like you can't close the circuit. 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.640 So like the circuit just stays on. But if if 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.640 we're going around in everyday life, if we're aware of 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.679 our feelings and emotions that come up, if we can't 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.320 process that in the moment, but do I make some 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.080 time at night to be like, oh I need to 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.000 go back and process that later. I mean, that's like 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:07.959 takes that takes us aware. And this is why energy 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:12.079 and awareness of energy are key to everything. Their key 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.040 to our success in life, their key to evolution. They're cute. 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:18.560 I mean, efficient use of energy is critical. So if 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.079 you're just stacking up a bunch of stuff and you're 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.800 holding your bucket of everything, you poured into your bucket 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:25.840 of the day, of all the stresses, and you're not 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.880 dumping that bucket out, it will start overflowing. That's what 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.200 symptoms are. I mean, eventually you can't hold anymore. And 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.160 that's where like people can bend over to pick up 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.560 a piece of paper and have a disk blowout, or 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:38.760 they can, you know, just twist a little bit to 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.079 the left and then all of a sudden their next 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:41.760 season is up and they're like, where did this come from? 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:43.960 How did this happen? And they're looking for a physical 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:47.680 mechanical cause. But really it's the last sort of straw 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:52.680 because you just you haven't been processing or somehow releasing 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:54.920 that built up energy. And the way you have to 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.480 do it is you have to dissipate that energy out 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.400 of your body through some kind of practice, some kind 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:04.800 of you need some kind of tools, because otherwise working out, 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:06.360 we we all know the right things to do. You know, 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:07.920 we should work out. We know we should drink plenty 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.400 of water. We know we should eat healthy. We know 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.600 we should stretch, we should probably do yoga, we should meditate. 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:14.680 We know all we're supposed to do all those things 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.480 that if you did even a fraction of those on 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:20.200 a regular basis, you would be in a lot better shape. 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.840 But you can do all of those things and still 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.200 have tension you can't shake. Because you can be doing 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.080 all the right stuff. You can be good enough and 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.840 working out, stretching your body, going for a run, having 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.960 lots of fluids, eating this really really clean diet, and 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.720 you cannot be dealing with something in your relationship. You 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:40.800 could not be having this hard conversation with your family members. 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.640 You could be completely in a job that you hate 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:47.440 or doing something that you know has a limited time 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.240 because you're not passionate about it and you know you 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.240 need to make a change and you're not dealing with that. 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:54.240 So whatever that is, Like you had said earlier, you 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.560 have these like it's like having apps on your phone 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.240 open and running and drawing energy that you're not like 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:02.240 closing down or you're not dealing with and they're just 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:05.240 in the background running. So every single thing that we 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:09.080 don't really deal with or is out of our awareness 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.240 altogether because either it happened in the past and we 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.680 just weren't even a where it happened. I mean, I've 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:15.240 worked with a lot of people that have had abuse 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:18.200 or situations where they don't remember it because the brain 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:20.000 and body just it's part of that fight or flight. 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.560 It kind of cloaked or locked it, locked that trauma 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.440 off and sent that energy somewhere in the body. Or 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.320 it could be something going on right now where you're 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:32.880 you're like, it's happening, but you your mind goes. My 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:38.640 blueprint for reality is this X, and what's happening is why. 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:42.400 And I can't seem to bridge those two things. So 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:46.800 instead of actually dealing and changing or transforming myself, I'll 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.760 just play pretend in a way that it's not happening 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.040 and I'll just go about my life and what And 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.680 when you're doing that, that inner conflict and that friction 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.840 creates all this extra tension and a lot of symptoms 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.840 that people are experiencing are these red flag that say 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:06.600 pay attention, you're overriding or ignoring something. I'm gonna give 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.880 you a louder signal, because those cells in your body 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.240 are like a little colony of you that are like hello, 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.560 like they're screaming out there having this experience and you're 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.040 ignoring them, or you're overriding them, or you're not paying attention. 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.760 Either you're not aware altogether, or you are aware and 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:26.280 you're just not taking action or dealing, and all of 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:31.040 those things kind of together. How you listen to your body, 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:34.240 ignore your body, or how you empty out that bucket, 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.280 what your practices are for really taking inventory and going 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.720 what's happening, are going to determine how well energy is 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.440 flowing and how well you feel inside, because you can 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:45.400 do all the right stuff, but you can feel miserably 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.680 ill and totally depressed and you can do so we 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.600 all know people that are like they're smoking, they're smoking, 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.080 they're drinking, they're doing all this stuff, and they're like, actually, 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:57.480 I'm not saying like in a totally um addictively, but 0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:58.840 they're like doing all this stuff. You're like, you're doing 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.800 all the wrong stuff. Why are you freaking happy? Right? So, 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:07.560 because those are wellness and illness or the subjective experiences, 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:11.639 inner experience of what we're feeling, whereas like what you 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:14.000 can gauge with the physical body, whether it's healthy or 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:16.679 not healthy, is it has disease or no, No, disease 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:21.200 is a different like spectrum. So my goal is always 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.760 to help let's get so connected and aware that we 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:28.080 can find that sense of ease and flow internally subjectively, 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.960 but we can also like do practices and things that 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:32.760 help our body be healthy so that you can have both. 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:34.960 You can feel healthy on the inside and well and 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.560 you can also have physical health. Well, I mean you 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.080 mentioned something because I feel like there's so many of 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:43.760 us that have disconnected from our bodies. I do all 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:45.720 the stuff you were just saying. I do all the 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:49.359 stuff and still feel like super anxious. And I know 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:52.399 for me there's probably some trauma. There, a lot of 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.960 trauma that is locked up in the tissues. And I've 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:58.480 always noticed that I'm able to work with my mind, 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.320 I'm able to work with so many other things except 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.920 for my body. And that's been one of the most 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:07.439 challenging places for me because I have been so disconnected 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:10.359 from it. And so how do we first start to 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.560 rebuild that connection so we can become aware of the 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:17.480 energy that's going on. All the achievers and the artists 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:21.199 and the like super passionate people doing things in the 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:24.080 world like they tend to have some of the same challenges, 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:27.879 and that is this ability to make things happen even 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.000 when it's challenging, and you sort of like power through it. 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:32.639 You make your way, you make it happen. It's like 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:34.840 you've got to go on. It's like it's time. Like, 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:36.800 so you have a headache, you have a sore throat, 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:38.440 do you have this with that? It's like it's like, 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:40.000 this is the time where you have to go on. 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:43.000 So everybody has that in some areas of their life 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:46.920 in certain ways. And so what I've identified is there's 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.960 this paradox. I call it the paradox of change, because 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:56.399 you cannot really change something and truly transform your situation 0:18:56.440 --> 0:19:02.480 and tell you have fully associated with and experienced what 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:04.680 is really going on, and there has to be some 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:06.520 kind of acknowledgement of that. There has to be some 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:10.760 kind of surrender in a way to what is. Before 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:14.199 you can have the experience of what you want to have, 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:16.800 you have to first acknowledge where you're at now. And 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:19.639 if you're where you are at now is like everything sucks, 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:22.800 it's so hard. I feel overwhelmed. This is crap. Then 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:25.199 it's difficult to feel but we don't want to feel that. 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:28.720 And and especially it's juven oriented people. They're like, why 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:31.200 would I spend even a millisecond in that state when 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:35.399 I can do You got stuff to do? And so like, 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:38.119 give me the tool to like not feel this and 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:43.119 feel that, and that is a short term fix. You 0:19:43.200 --> 0:19:45.639 totally just read my mind like literally of like how 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:47.000 do I just how do I not feel that? Just 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:50.800 get right to the big want to feel. All right, 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:52.720 my friends, we are going to take a quick break, 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.080 but when we return, you and I are going to 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:57.200 learn about the tools to break out of the cycle 0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:07.800 of negativity and negative energy. We were just talking about 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:11.840 falling into the cycle of negative feelings because people that 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:15.280 are motivated and active in the world to make things 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:18.800 happen are not into languishing in the crap. They feel 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:21.480 there's no value in it. And the paradox is that 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:23.880 as soon as you allow yourself to feel an experience 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:26.840 where you really are for a moment, it changes, But 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:31.440 it doesn't change if you have an agenda to get 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:34.159 somewhere else before you fully experience it. So even like 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:36.639 the mind of the superachiever is like, all right, what 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:37.760 do I have to do? I have to go through 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:39.720 some process where I have to feel where I'm at, 0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:42.439 which I don't want to be because it really sucks. 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:44.200 And then once I do that, then I can feel 0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:46.199 better and I can do what I want to do 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:48.320 in your mind's like yeah exactly. So you're like, all right, 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:51.240 give me the stupid process. And then you go, okay, 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:53.199 what am I supposed to feel? And just okay, what 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:55.639 do you feel? And then usually what will happen is 0:20:56.560 --> 0:20:59.359 you'll start to kind of scan in a process, might 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.280
