Speaker 1: were fired. You will pass through centuries on the hands

5

Speaker 1: of your daughters. They called you wisdom. Proverbs on the

Speaker 1: give wisdom of thousands. They said you would come. Drop.

15
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Dropping Gym's podcast. I'm your host, Stevie Brown.

16
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: This is a safe place to land. And what I

17
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: mean when I say a safe place to land is

18
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: this is a space where we don't sit in judgment

19
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: of ourselves or others. It's a space where we are

20
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: free to be in our process. Whatever that looks like

21
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: for each of us, and we connect to what fits

22
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: and leave what doesn't, and so on this show, my goal,

23
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: my deepest desire and intention is always just to share

24
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: and unpack conversation in a way that is serving to

25
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: the mind, body, soul connection and in a way that

26
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: really allows us to go deep in the unique ways

27
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: that we specifically are called to, which is very often

28
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: more of a private manner, you know, more of a

29
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: manner of us being in practice and being in process

30
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: with ourselves day in and day out in a way

31
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: that only we can observe. So I like to open

32
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: up a container to share space for that on this

33
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: show and to bring some amazing conversations with people I

34
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: connect to and I admire along with me. So this

35
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: show will definitely not be an exception to that. I

36
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: am so excited to connect with today's guest Um just

37
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: a remarkable human spirit. Uh. And I'll get to that

38
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: piece in just a second. But to start to set

39
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: the container, I always like to take a moment, take

40
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: a deep breath, connect to my heart, and then I

41
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: shuffle my Caramel Bliss affirmation deck that has fifty four

42
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: different affirmations that I've written. I shuffled the deck, I

43
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: see what card wants to pop out on its own,

44
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: and very often that card endto being significant to what

45
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: this episode will be about. So, as we get ready

46
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: to take in this show, see where it lands for us.

47
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: I want to invite everyone, if it is safe for

48
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 1: you to do so, and if there's ease to it,

49
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: I want to invite you as we start the show

50
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: to just take a moment with me to get really

51
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: comfortable wherever you happen to be seated, and settle in

52
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 1: a little bit more deeply into your seat. Start breathing

53
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: in through your nose, nice long, deep inhale that's nourishing

54
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: to you. And exhaling deeply, slowly through your nose. Let's

55
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: do that chest a couple of times. And as you

56
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: really connect and align with that breath, allow your eyes

57
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: to gently close and right now, just connect to your heart,

58
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: connect to that breath in and out, and I'm gonna

59
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: read the affirmation that came out of the deck today.

60
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: So that affirmation is my mind is clear, and I

61
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: am able to make good choices that serve my highest

62

Speaker 1: always love to share a little bit of the personal

101
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: connection with the audience. So it's my l and I

102
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: had our love affair began in Mexico, and um, we

103
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: were both. We were both teaching and leading at the

104
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: Chopra seven Spiritual Laws of Success retreat that happened in Rivera, Mayan, Mexico,

105
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: over the summer. And from the moment I saw him,

106
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: I felt so connected, Like I looked in your eyes

107
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: and I was like, how many lifetimes have we mutual?

108
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: Mutual connection de lave at first sight m And you know,

109
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: we had this amazing experience while we were out there together. Um,

110
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: it was really magic. Do you remember that night we

111
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: went to dinner? Yes, yes, I I do a beautiful dinner.

112
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm beautiful setting and Darlin and I am brooding when

113
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: you and everybody connecting, and it was a very cosmic chatting.

114
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: I I think it was really special. We were right

115
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: next to this gorgeous body of water, and so I'm

116
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: also highlighting the power of manifestation because when you get

117
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: certain energies together, you just can't help for the best

118
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: possible outcomes. So I remember we were sitting at dinner

119
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: and we were by this little body of water, and

120
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: we're like, would it be so amazing if a boat came.

121
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 1: I want to get on a boat Tuesday right on't

122
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: you right on. The boat appeared. A boat appeared. We

123
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: ended up getting on this boat and it took us

124
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: on the most gorgeous starlet night, deep night, you know,

125
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: cruise around around the land, and we came into these

126
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: little pockets where there were these gorgeous exotic birds, hundreds

127
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: of them, sitting on a tree, white against the black

128
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: moon and the stars and the music, and it was

129
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: just utterly divine. And moments like that or what I

130
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: live for. Um. So it's just so special connecting to

131
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: that with you, me too, me too. Let me tell

132
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: you it was something very special to me because I

133
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: mean years ago, I was part of some other cho

134
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: retreats at least time. When I got to the retreat,

135
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: I heard your voice before entering the room, you know,

136
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: opened the door. I haven't or haven't seen you yet,

137
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: and I heard your voice and I said, oh my god,

138
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: what a deep, profound voice with such a sweet connection.

139
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: And to tell you the truth, that was my first encounter.

140
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: And then I met you, and then we talked and

141
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: I felt your huge electromagnetic heart energy and I said,

00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: You're a leading journalist, you have touched millions of people,

158
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: and then you you felt the call of spirit to

159
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: really take you deeper in the ways that you communicated

160
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: with people and also kind of on a whole new journey.

161
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: Can you tell me about that moment where you knew

162
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: you needed to be more of you in front of

163
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: the millions of people that were in your audience. Wow,

164
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: that's that's something that it's a divine calling because you know,

165
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, actually I never never imagined

166
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: that I was going to be a coach or a

167
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: guide or a spiritual teacher of any kind. Why because,

168
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: as you said, I needed to live so many kind

169
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: of complex experiences as a kid with low low, low

170
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: self esteem and stigma about eschisophrenia. My father was diagnosed

171
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: with exchisophrenia, My grandfather committed suicide, my aunt committed suicide

172
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: when I was a teenager, and I was just raised

173
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: without masculine figure, even though my father was nearby. So

174
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: you know, my childhood and my ado lessons Debby, to

175
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: tell you the truth, were periods of introspection and a

176
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: lot of questions and my worth living this life. I

177
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of smiles like I do right

178
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: now because I had to build my my smile. So

179
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: but at the eight age of eight, radio came to

180
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: me and there was a woman who literally became my

181
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: most wise teacher of all time times which is or

182
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: who is Nilda hell Man. She still lives in Santiago,

183
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: the Cuba, in my my island where I was born, Cuba,

184
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: And you know, she just asked me to raise my

185
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: hand in front of the class. If I wanted to

186
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: do it, try out reading out loud. That was the

187
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: defined moment of my childhood and my entire life because

188
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: I just kind of half raised my hand, but she

189
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: was able to see me, and she said, what's your name?

190
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: And I said, it's my old okay, it's my ald calm.

191
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: Maybe you're nervous, but that's okay. Come to the front

192
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: of the class, read out loud a few paragraphs, and

193
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: do you want to do a radio show for children?

194
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: And I said, oh yes, I love reading. That day,

195
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: that out of courage changed my entire future because radio

196
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: every single Saturday became my refugee. You know, I was

197
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: bullied at school because I was not a match of

198
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: type as Latinos we are kind of, you know, like

199
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: strong men don't cry. Even mothers tell their kids, oh,

200
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: come on, don't be a girl, don't cry. Los aberes

201
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: no Jordan, men don't cry. So you know, I was

202
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: kind of never understanding why I had to really use

203
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: violence against other boys to defend my rights. So I

204
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: was so conflict with inside, and that day changed my life,

205
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: and radio and the training that this lady gave me

206
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: really made me a communicator. Because she did everything possible

207
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: to teach me how to talk, how to act, how

208
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: to kind of have a better addiction or articulation annunciation

209
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: with words in Spanish. And that was the first defining

210
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: moment in my life. And after that, you know, I

211
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: I thought that I was going to be my entire

212
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: life and career like a communicator in mass media. So

213
00:14:54,400 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: this second reinvention or transfiguration was a divine In working

214
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: with Deepak chop in two thousand fourteen, something deep Act

215
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: said one day that you know, in my mind kind

216
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: of it was like a drop, like dropping James, like

217
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: your podcast, and it's sort of ripple effecting my mind

218
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: saying you have to stop what you're doing because you

219
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: don't know yourself. Enough is mine, So stop what you're doing.

220
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: Abandon your success, abandon your power, abandon your fame, abandon

221
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: your reputation, and take time to know yourself. And that's

222
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: exactly what I did in two thousand sixteen. Mm hmm, Okay,

223
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: you just gave me so much meat. I don't even

224
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: know where I want to go back to. Wow. Um,

225
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: So there's multiple things that I heard and what you

226
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: just said in first I would love to sit in

227
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: and I really deeply relate um when you said you

228
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: had to build your smile aile. Can we talk about

229
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: that childhoodself that does not necessarily have mature adult relationships present,

230
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: where you have to teach yourself what it is to

231
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: be alive, to be human, to have emotions, and how

232
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: to reconcile all of that. You know that that experience

233
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: of being a child and being really confused at the

234
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: way that other people are operating and knowing that it

235
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: doesn't inherently feel true to you. Can you speak to that. Wow,

236
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: that's exactly exactly in your words how I felt. I

237
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: felt totally displaced by society because my family hard and

238
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: still has a problem with the stigma of mental illnesses

239
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: or brain disorders. So the first thing that I heard was,

240
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: never ask your father ab out why he's not working.

241
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: He's sick, but please do not ask him about the illness.

242
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: Another prohibition they told me, never ask your father how

243
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: he lost when he was eight years old. He was

244
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: a kid, he's left arm. So you know, I was

245
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: a kid with so many questions that I couldn't because

246
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: I wasn't allowed to talk so and to express myself.

247
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: And imagine if that kind of affected my entire body

248
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: that now I can't understand starting epigenetics, that my inability

249
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: to express not only do not smile or to smile,

250
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: my inability to express myself in an honest way created

251
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: constant throughout infections. Because now we know that whatever you

252
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: swallow and you don't express will seecken you. And you

253
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: know this is this is really good, because what I'm

254
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: doing with you today is just sharing the journey of

255
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: a wounded healer. You know, I didn't choose I didn't

256
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: choose to be a doctor. I didn't choose to be

257
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: a healer. I didn't choose to be a spiritual leader.

258
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: Life chose me. God chose me because I could understand

259
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: that I needed to do a personal work to heal

260
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: myself and to understand my brain and reproduct my brain,

261
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: and to build smiles even if I didn't have smiles

262
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: during my childhood, and to understand something very important. Our

263
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: predispositions are not necessarily our destiny. If we understand that

264
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: we can change almost everything about our character, personality, traits,

265
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: and lifestyle. And that's exactly what I've been doing, very entertaining,

266
00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: very complex, the process for so many years until these days,

267
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, wow, wow wow. And the piece that

268
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: you just touched on too, I think it's so we're

269
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: just now collectively as a society, as a world, as

270
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: humans um, beginning to understand the impact of what it

271
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: is to not be able to be expressed. And so

272
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: when you know that piece you said is so powerful

273
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: around I think for a lot of us, previous generations

274
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: thought if someone has emotions, right, like, if someone has emotions,

275
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: if there is a pain present, do not talk about it,

276
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: don't ask them about it, don't bring it up. And

277
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 1: so then you have people who have surrendered decades of

278
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,719
Speaker 1: their lives to being in constant war with themselves simply

279
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: because they did not have the space to say something

280
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: out loud. You say something out loud, you express it, It

281
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: It frees you. And so it's like, I'm even imagining

282
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 1: how isolating for your father to have these experiences, to

283
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: have this amputation as a child, to have this um

284
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: relationship with his mental health that no one ever asked

285
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: him about, no one's ever asking how do you feel?

286
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: What does this mean for you? What do you need?

287
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: You know? And it's like the battle that that brings

288
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: inside that that then passes down to every other generation

289
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: because then we carry their burden and our burden until

290
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: you finally release it, which is where you landed. Wow.

291
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: And the good news is that when we understand that

292
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: even people we love and they pass away, that is

293
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: there is space for healing with them. And the good

294
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: news is that the best conversations I've always have had

295
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: with my father have been in this new relationship that

296
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: I have with him after he passed away. He is

297
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: a powerful energy. He's such a good, good guide in

298
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: consciousness to me that every single day I talked to

299
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: him and I say, thank you, Father, thank you. I

300
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: totally understand you. Thank you for how I saw you

301
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: when I was judging you. Thank you for the thoughts

302
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: I had about you, you know, kind of resenting the

303
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: hugs that you never gave me, even with your only arm,

304
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: because I don't remember my father hugging me. And it's

305
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: really good, Dabby, because you know, sometimes people think, Okay,

306
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: I have nothing to do. This person passed away, and

307
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: you know there is an open end, and I said, no, no, no, no,

308
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: no death. It's only a transition, and it's a transition

309
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: that leads us with more freedom and liberty to interact

310
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: with pure joy and no analytical mind, with the loving

311
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: energy of our loved ones. So and it's beautiful right now.

312
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: And it's an amazing relationship with my father. So I

313
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: don't know, I kind of I'm sad that he's not present,

314
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: but I'm so happy that he taught me how to

315
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: live without him. And that's a celebration for me, every

316
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: single daing rock. Thank you for walking through your process

317
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: for everyone, because I know I felt instinctively what clicked

318
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: into place for thousands of people. Just now you know

319
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: that there is an opportunity to even reconcile these challenging

320
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: relationships if the person is not there. There is a

321
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,959
Speaker 1: way to know their energy, the best of them, and

322
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: not just the way that we were influenced by their

323
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: presence or by their lack of presents. You know another

324
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: another things that you brought forward, Um, I just I

325
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: would love to get into one more piece you rought

326
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: for it too, as we continue on this journey together.

327
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: And I told, I told you before we started um

328
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: the conversation for the podcast that we have such a

329
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: connection that when I saw you and I saw the

330
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: color of your blouse and I said, oh my god,

331
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: you know, it's like we we sent a memo to

332
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: each other to use like earthly colors. But it's because

333
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: I think, really we have a pure and wonderful and

334
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: probably historical connection. I don't know, Yeah, I feel that

335
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: you're I mean, you're one of the most remarkable people

336
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: I've ever met. So it's just being in your light

337
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 1: is such a profound joy for me and I love

338
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: you know specifically, so for those that can't see us,

339
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: we're both wearing orange shirts and that's um big sacred

340
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: chukra energy. So this is of creation, um that we're

341
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: bringing forward. So there we'll see how that unfolds. UM.

342
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: But is my you know, um, one of the things

343
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: that you brought up to was your road to yourself

344
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: and your opportunity to begin building your smile, to begin

345
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: building your esteem, to build your knowing nous of yourself

346
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: through that teacher asking you to use your voice. And

347
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: what is so powerful about that to me is what

348
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people, UM do not receive, which is

349
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: why for so many especially you know, what we're referring

350
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: to as wounded healers, why sometimes it does take a

351
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: little bit um of deep, deep practice, not a little

352
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: bit it takes a lot of practice. It takes an

353
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: immense amount of personal excavation to come into this space

354
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: where you really understand your power and a reason that's

355
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: sometimes for many it's not inherent as one our family structures.

356
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: But to not receiving feedback about your innate gifts, not

357
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: being around adults that can recognize what is authentic about

358
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: you as your own being without it triggering them and

359
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: how they feel about themselves. And so to receive a

360
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: feedback and your voice is just so incredible. Your voice

361
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: has been in the ears of millions and all you

362
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,719
Speaker 1: needed was to know that there was value there, you know,

363
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: And so one I'm just hearing the power of expressing

364
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: that when you see a child, when you see a

365
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: young person, and you see an adult share enthusiasm with them,

366
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: you have no idea what their home life looks like.

367
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: Offer feedback to people in real time if you're able

368
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: about what you see in them, because more often than not,

369
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: they don't know that that even exists in them yet

370
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: where they know but they have no idea that other

371
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: people know. Yes, exact clear as you said, Debby, you

372
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: know I think that when I noticed because somebody told

373
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: me that I have so many things to say to

374
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: the world, that I had a powerful voice to express myself.

375
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: I started building myself worth and I started dreaming, and

376
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: those dreams started to grow. And it's unbelievable because I

377
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: remember that a year after I started my training with

378
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: that radio personality and that radio writer and director. You

379
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: know what I said to my mom, I said, could

380
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: you change me from the little town school to the

381
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: big city school. With implied that she had to take me,

382
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: of course, like twenty minutes from the town, a mountain

383
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: town where I was born, to the main city, Santiago

384
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: de Cuba. And my mom said why and I said, well,

385
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: because I think I prefer the city because the school

386
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: is better and and bigger, and I want to try.

387
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: So I started dreaming bigger and bigger and bigger because

388
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: somebody told me you can't express yourself. Imagine that. I

389
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: still have with me two little booklets from my fourth grade,

390
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: eight years old. One it's with little poems and the

391
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 1: other one was with two stories, short stories that Nilda,

392
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: my teacher, said, please, you have to write. You have

393
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: so many things inside your head. Right poems right too,

394
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: short stories. Don't worry about if it's good if it's

395
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: not good, I'm going to help you to edit them.

396
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: And she used it typing machine at that moment years back,

397
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: and she edited and she kind of put it together

398
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: with everything, the cover and everything done with her hands.

399
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: So the love that I received from my mom, my father,

400
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: but also from this vocational teacher made me they smile

401
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: that I am today. And she's still alive. And I

402
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 1: never lost contact with Nil da Aliman that's her name.

403
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: She has um now some illness, is not you know,

404
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: like the person that I made, but still so conscious

405
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: and also eighty seven years old. And I talked to

406
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: her almost every month, and I visited her several times

407
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: in Cuba. Why because I think that when you had

408
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: the opportunity of having somebody who made such a huge

409
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: impact in who you are still today, that's gratitude forever.

410
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,719
Speaker 1: And that's how I feel about Nil. That she is,

411
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: she was, and she is an angel sent to help

412
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: me understand my worth in this world. Wow. Wow, Wow,

413
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: When did you leave Cuba? I left Cuba. I was

414
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: already twenty eight, almost twenty nine June seven, and I

415
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: left as part of a Cuban delegation sent by the

416
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: Cuban government to Toronto, Canada, and it was the master

417
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: of ceremony of a musical band, a cigar roller, and

418
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: a chef. So we were the delegation showing a little

419
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: bit of the culture of the island in a multicultural

420
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: festival in Toronto. And I always wanted to live since

421
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: I was like ten years old, because I always wanted

422
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: to know what was beyond the ocean, that natural frontier

423
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: surrounding my island. And I couldn't travel, you know, I

424
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: couldn't travel for twenty years. So my first opportunity, I said, God,

425
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: you send me this life boat. I'm staying here. I didn't.

426
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: I didn't speak English when I got to Canada. Actually,

427
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: I had to lie to be able to get the

428
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: gig because they asked me, smile, do you do you

429
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: speak English? And I said, of course yes, because I

430
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: knew that if I said no, they would look for

431
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: another person. I said, I know how to speak English.

432
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to memorize my lines, and I sounded like

433
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: Ricky Ricardo in I Love Lucy when I was hosting

434
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: that Cuban show. Because imagine, I didn't know how to improvise.

435
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: I only memorized the lines. So I remember that when

436
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: when we were in the middle of the show, I

437
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: said to the Canadians in the hall, okay, instead of saying,

438
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: let's play the conga, I said, let's touch the conga.

439
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: Touh the conga, touch the conga. And there there is

440
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,239
Speaker 1: one anecdote that is really funny. You know that when

441
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: I was in Toronto, I said, I want to go

442
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: to downtown. And I asked somebody, and somebody told me, oh,

443
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: it's easy. You will see the signs for the subway

444
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: and you go into the train and you will ask

445
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: for downtown. And I said, well, that sounds easy. And

446
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: you know what I did. I saw the sign subway,

447
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: I enter into the establishment. I saw somebody preparing a sandwich,

448
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: and I said to that person, I'm going downtown. What

449
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: is the train? What is the train? And the person

450
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: said what train? And I said, this is not subway

451
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: and it was the restaurant subway, restaurant Debby. But I

452
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: have a better I have a better an adult of

453
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: my English to you. I went to the supermarket by

454
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: myself because I wanted to be independent. And I was

455
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: just like two weeks in Toronto. You know, in Spanish

456
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: we have very definite uh, five, only five sounds for

457
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: the vowels A E, I owe you only five in English.

458
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: May be native speakers don't notice, but when you learn

459
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: English as a second language, you have to differentiate a

460
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: lot of combinations of the sounds of the five owls.

461
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: So for the Spanish speaker is not that easy to differentiate.

462
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: So I went to the supermarket and I love peanut butter,

463
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: and I said to the lady, how much is that

464
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: job of penis butter? And she blushed and she said

465
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: what And I said, how much is that job of

466
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: penis mater? And she would like read as a tomato.

467
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: And I didn't understand because I said, oh my god,

468
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: my English is really bad. She doesn't understand me. How

469
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: many times I have to say how much is that

470
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: jar of penis moter? And she said, okay, do you

471
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: mean peanuts butter? And I said, that's what I said,

472
00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: penus moter and she said, no, penicks, it's some in

473
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: different peanuts. It's what you mean. And then I went

474
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: to the school the following day and I said, okay,

475
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: I had this on my teacher, by the way, that

476
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: was from Russia leaving in Toronto teaching me English. She said,

477
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: Oh is mild. That's so funny. I'm going to use

478
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: your anecdult. That's the way that you learn a second language.

479
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: No shame, keep practicing. Wow wow wow wow. That is

480
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: h Larry us. So you I mean when you got here,

481
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: you just hit the ground running. Oh, I mean, which

482
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: is just it's just so remarkable, like the destiny at play.

483
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: And I know we keep referencing that, but I want

484
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: to make sure that everyone really gets that in their mind,

485
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: like there are forces for good unfolding in your life

486
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: in powerful ways. We have to trust. You know, you

487
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: came here on the delegation and then and just a

488
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: you years time, you go to become the leading voice

489
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: in Latin America on CNN, because I never lost my vision.

490
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: The power of manifestation is so huge that in in

491
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: I was a radio antiv personality already well known in

492
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:25,439
Speaker 1: the entire island in Cuba and internally in the monitors

493
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 1: inside the radio station and the government's channel. They had

494
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 1: SEENN International signal in English, so that was what I

495
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: was watching, you know, like CNN Wow International News and

496
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: in NTE March. I remember the day that they said

497
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: Sena has premiered a continental pank regional Spanish network sen

498
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 1: Espanol or CNN in Spanish, and they switched the signal

499
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: to sen Espanol. That day, Debby, I was looking at

500
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: the monitor and I said to one of my colleagues,

501
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: you know what they have now, SENN in Spanish. I'm

502
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: going to be working there some day. That day, I

503
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: didn't know how I'm going I was going to be

504
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: able to leave Cuba. It wasn't that easy. And when

505
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: that happened in two thousand one and I became an intern,

506
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: and I paid all my fares from Toronto to Atlanta

507
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: for three weeks. Pay Hotel paid everything because CNN said, no,

508
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: we take interns for three months. You're only coming for

509
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: three weeks. That doesn't serve us. And I said, please,

510
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: please please, And a friend of mine helped me to

511
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: secure my three weeks internship. That was only what I

512
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: needed for Seneca College in Toronto to finish my diploma

513
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: of Television Production. I became an intern. I became the

514
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: freelancer in Canada in Toronto, the first one that they

515
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: ever had, and then I moved to Miami. I was

516
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: a freelancer. I was filling in for all the main

517
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: guys anchoring the shows, and little by little I was

518
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: kind of escalating. And then in two thousand and ten

519
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: they changed programming and I became the Larry King for

520
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: the CIENN in Spanish, because I said, let's do Larry King.

521
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: Let's do a show interviewing artists, celebrities, sportsmen, writers, philosophers,

522
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: spiritual leaders, everybody. I want to interview everybody. And the

523
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: show wasn't mega success. I didn't expect that it was

524
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: going to be a mega success. I knew that I

525
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: had a passion for listening, that I always wanted to

526
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: learn listening to other people's stories and messages and wisdom.

527
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: So I knew that I was going to be good

528
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: at listening. But I didn't know that the show was

529
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: going to become the mega phenomenon across the United States

530
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: in Spanish for the latter community, and also all across

531
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: to any something countries in Latin America. So that's that's

532
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because this is important. We have the power.

533
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: We have the power with our thoughts and also with

534
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: our loud expression to be sure that whatever we feel possible,

535
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: we can create it in our personal reality. And that's

536
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: the exact thing with CNN. You know, it started with

537
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: just an intention in ninety seven in Havana, Cuba. Oh

538
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: my god, I meanwhile, where do I go from there?

539
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: You know? It's just like that is so meaningful for

540
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: me because I especially um am just a believer in

541
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: the whispers of God. And when we really take the

542
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: time to get still, we're able to home through our

543
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: lives experiences to understand the steps that have been in

544
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: play for us. That is the true guidance to what

545
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: our purposes, you know, And I think purposes this leading

546
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: connector for a lot for many even venturing onto this journey,

547
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: this idea that there is a purpose. But I think

548
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: so many people consider one purpose just being like a

549
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: career title of swords or something that like you spend

550
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: a weekend kind of figuring out what what do I

551
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: want to do and what can I make money at? Okay, yes,

552
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: all right, that's my purpose? And in actuality, it's like

553
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: it's all of these beautiful breadcrumbs that God leaves us,

554
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: these things where we really remember time stopping in that

555
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: moment and we paid extra attention to something, even if

556
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: it was a commercial on television or if it was

557
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: you know, just something very brief. We know that time

558
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: stopped a little, even for seconds, and so think about

559
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: those things that that you remember, and it's like, well,

560
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: why and what it was that leading to and what

561
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: is that giving me a little elbow about our a

562
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: little nudge and knowing, And you know, eventually that becomes

563
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 1: the sum of what is just so special and unique

564
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: about each of us, and what is um how we

565
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: can tap into, as our beloved Deepox says, you know,

566
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: the pure potentiality that is available in our lives, like

567
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: the just the limitlessness, the endless, endless flow of opportunity,

568
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: the endless flow of best possible outcomes in every way. Yeah,

569
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 1: and listening to you now, what came to my mind, Davy,

570
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: is that I divide my life in two halves. I

571
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: am fifty two right now, and I'm hoping that I'm

572
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: going to live over one. But let's let's play by

573
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: ear taking care of our body with the intention of

574
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: longevity and quality of life. But you know, like the

575
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: first half of those fifty two years, I lived with

576
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: the wrong paradigm because I thought and I was convinced

577
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: by domestication or edu castration or education, the rush to conformity.

578
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: You know, society told me that my intellect was my

579
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: savior and that my intellect was the highest resource that

580
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: I was going to have to be successful and to

581
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: be happy and to be productive and blah blah blah.

582
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: And then I understood that it was not going to

583
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: be my intellect. That probably my intellect without the proper

584
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: energy or consciousness state, was going to drive me crazy

585
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: inside my mind. When I changed the paradigm and I

586
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: understood that my energy it's more important than my intellect,

587
00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 1: my life became a world of much and revelations. Before that,

588
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: when was my intellect, my intellect and my reasoning the

589
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: highest resource that I was always honoring, I was so depressed,

590
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: so unstable, so sick of myself, sometimes so full of myself,

591
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: sometimes no humility, and life was a struggle. And it's

592
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: so simple. And then when I said, Okay, no, intellect,

593
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: be brilliant resource. You know, it's a brilliant resource, but

594
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: it's secondary energy. It's my life force. It's what I

595
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: live by and I leave poor. It's what I wake

596
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: up every single day to cultivate, is the discipline of

597
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: joy every single day. My energy, it's what I sent

598
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: to the world and what I want that the world

599
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: sends back to me and the universe. That's my only

600
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: mission every single day, because I know that if I'm

601
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,879
Speaker 1: in a loving mode, I will be able to give

602
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: love and receive love. If I am in a compassionate mode,

603
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: and my energy it's all about compassion. I'm going to

604
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: be less reactive, and I'm going to have I'm going

605
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: to have my intellet serving me, but not with a

606
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,240
Speaker 1: very noisy ego. It's going to be a silent ego,

607
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: well trained at service of the soul, you know. So

608
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: like getting out of the struggle. I thought for the

609
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 1: first twenty five or twenty eight years of my life

610
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: that it was going to be so hard to change

611
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: how I saw life, because I used to see life

612
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: as a struggle. But David, the good thing is, it's

613
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: not the hard. It's just changing the perspective of being

614
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 1: spiritual beings that need to cultivate the spirit and to

615
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: pay attention and to make time for our daily practice

616
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: for the spirit and life. Right now. It could end

617
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: right now, tomorrow, for in fifty or sixty more years,

618
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: I don't care, because life is so so much a

619
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 1: flow of beautiful things that even death is welcome when

620
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: it's time for that. I don't want it now, but

621
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 1: I don't fear it. It's whatever it is. It's part

622
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,439
Speaker 1: of the existence, and that's a beautiful thing. And this

623
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: is a mile that is talking to you. When it

624
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:43,720
Speaker 1: looks back and sees the other is Mile, he says, Wow,

625
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: this is this is a totally different person, the same essence,

626
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: but in a different wiring of the brain, of the mind,

627
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 1: and actually of the vibration of the spirit. And that's

628
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 1: it makes me so happy to see that I could

629
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: do something for me, for my father, for my grandfather

630
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: who committed suicide, for my two ants who committed suicide,

631
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: for my brother who suffers from schizophrenia from from for

632
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: my other brother who now is totally healed, but for

633
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 1: many years was lost with addiction to alcohol. So it's

634
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: the struggle of entire family. But now I say, okay,

635
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 1: let's help release this living with intention, high consciousness, doing

636
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: the practice, not only for me, for so many people

637
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,720
Speaker 1: that I can help, not telling anything, just being different,

638
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: being light. And this is wonderful because you know, I

639
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: don't talk with so many people about this, but I

640
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: have to tell you because I know that you totally

641
00:44:54,600 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: get it, and your audience gets it. Yeah, it's rocking ship.

642
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: That was so powerful, and I it was just so

643
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 1: so so so so so so felt. It was so felt,

644
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: and I'm just I'm grateful that you are giving such

645
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 1: beautiful teaching in in the fibers of how to make

646
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: this reel in people's lives. You know, like, this is

647
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 1: what's necessary. We have to give these deeper details, these

648
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: these more hidden shifts, you know, some of these darker crevices,

649
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: because who does not feel that in some ways? You

650
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: know that there I think that there has been this

651
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:55,240
Speaker 1: leading ideal is Mael, that everyone in the in life

652
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: had a good life, and there's just only a couple

653
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: of people who had it so hard or who it

654
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: was so difficult to push out of and and in actuality,

655
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: what I have found it is the absolute reverse. There

656
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: is this one to five cent of the human population

657
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: that has this ideal situation um that we've all kind

658
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: of internalized or built our cultural understanding around, built our

659
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: self understanding around. That is what is promoted through television,

660
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: through film, through literature over the course of human history.

661
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: But it's not authentic to what the lived human experiences.

662
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: The lived human experience is painful. Pain is a master teacher.

663
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: You know. There's that quote, m that roomy quote that

664
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: it's you know, allow your heart to break over and

665
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: over until it stays open. That is what that's beautiful

666
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: that her allow your heart to break, to break, to break,

667
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 1: until it finally stays open. In the openness, there is

668
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: no breaking but the fibers of being, the weaving, the

669
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: small and doings that allow you to actually know and

670
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: live that. That is what the world so desperately needs

671
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: right now. How do you make that real and tangible?

672
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: You know? So I'm just I'm in deep gratitude for

673
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: the way that you teach and the way that you

674
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: share yourself and your experiences. Thank you so much, thank you,

675
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: thank you. I'm just a follower of so many people

676
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: that when you read the biography you understand that they

677
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: made a difference in this world because they were coherent,

678
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: because they elevated their state of consciousness, because they became

679
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: love to spread love and to receive love. And you know,

680
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,240
Speaker 1: it's like my had mgandhy when you when you understand

681
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: that I had mc gandhi said, be the change that

682
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: you want to see in the world. That's exactly what

683
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: we have to do. You know, we want to not

684
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: have to talk about wars. Okay, I'm not responsible for

685
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: the war in Ukraine, but I am responsible for the

686
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: peace inside my heart. And I know that if my

687
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: heart is open, as you said, and it's full of

688
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: peace and love, I will never be part of the war.

689
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: And if every single human being does this work, there

690
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,240
Speaker 1: is no need for work, you know, because somebody starts

691
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: a war when there is no peace in the heart.

692
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:49,800
Speaker 1: If you have peace in the heart, it's totally impossible

693
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: to justify for yourself the need for war or violence.

694
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: So that's exactly what we need to do right now,

695
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: especially in these times, you know, after COVID now living

696
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:07,399
Speaker 1: with news bombard in us every single day about the war,

697
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: and we need silence, we need peace, We need time

698
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 1: to really nurture our spirit as you do with this

699
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 1: beautiful podcast. This is the kind of content and the

700
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 1: kind of time well spent that human beings need on

701
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: a daily basis, not only when we fall. When we fall,

702
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: because that's something that we have to do. Also, you know,

703
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:39,280
Speaker 1: somebody told me the other day, oh, your meditation app

704
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 1: is smile is wonderful. Every time that I feel sad,

705
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: I use it. And I said, come on, every time

706
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,760
Speaker 1: that you feel sad, that's not that's not the purpose

707
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: of the meditation. The meditation is for every day because

708
00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: probably if you meditate every day, if you do your

709
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: practice every day, you will not feel the sadness staying

710
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 1: that alone with you, because you will be able to

711
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 1: move on because you are meditated. Instead of medicated. You

712
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: regulate your nervous system, you know, you teach yourself new

713
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:23,879
Speaker 1: ways of feeling in your body. And ah, ah is Mail,

714
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: can we talk about your book flow? Not to suffer?

715
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: First of all, that line flow, not to suffer? What

716
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: is what is flow? This line is not from my brain.

717
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: I have to be honest. The book started the process

718
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: of creating this book and writing the book started in

719
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: two eighteen, before the pandemic. But then in March the

720
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,959
Speaker 1: book was almost done and I was going to send

721
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 1: the manuscript to the publishing house Penguin Random House Spanish

722
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: Division in the US, and then I said, no, I can't.

723
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 1: I can't do this because I mean, there is a

724
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: pandemic coming. We're going to live in extraordinary situations. And

725
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 1: then I sat in the meditation Dabby one morning before sunrising,

726
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: and I asked God, and I said, I know this

727
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: book is going to be very helpful, especially in the

728
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: moments that we're going to start living for the next

729
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: few months. I didn't know that it was going to

730
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: take two years almost and I said, please, God, give me,

731
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: give me a line, give me a message, give me

732
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: a title, because this book was going to be called

733
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 1: Eleven Principles to Transform your Life The Leader Bamboo, because

734
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: it's all about bio mimesis or bioempathy, studying the bamboo

735
00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: as a plant and taking trades and correct realistics of

736
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:13,720
Speaker 1: the bamboo being assimilated by humans as leaders, for instance, flexibility, versatility, consciousness, elevation, gratitude, integrity, passion, collaboration.

737
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: There are eleven principles or values taken from the bamboo

738
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: as a plant, observing the natural laws of the nature

739
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,919
Speaker 1: and the universe. So flow not to suffer. It came

740
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: to me in Spanish fluid that day, that morning, during

741
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 1: that meditation, and I remember that it is a fluid.

742
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 1: But what a dramatic title will Latinos are so dramatic,

743
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 1: We love so proper as I'm telling novelas. But God,

744
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: if you gave me this. I'm not going to question

745
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: this line. This is going to be the title of

746
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: the book, because I actually think after the pandemic will

747
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 1: be a need for these tools and knowledge and wisdom

748
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: and prodocols and rituals and habits to be installed to

749
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: be able to kind of serve the wave of mental

750
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: disorders and the consequences of two years of extreme survival.

751
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 1: And actually, debby, I consulted the title with the publishing house.

752
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: I propose different ones, kind of more positive and less dramatic,

753
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:32,280
Speaker 1: and everybody loved this one. Flow not to suffer. Flow

754
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: is not to give up to Flow is not to

755
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 1: conform and to say there is nothing that I can do.

756
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 1: This is what it is. The situation overpowers me. I'm

757
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:50,840
Speaker 1: just throwing the towel. No, not at all. Flow is

758
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: to understand that if you offer resistance to whatever reality

759
00:53:55,880 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: you are interpreting inside yourself or in the exterior world,

760
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 1: that resistance it's going to take the vital energy that

761
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 1: you need to create a better response instead of using

762
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: instance and reflexes just reacting. That's the concept. I'm not

763
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: saying that you don't change what needs to be changed.

764
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that probably you need to pass. Use

765
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: the same vital energy with your kind of primary force,

766
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 1: offering resistance to what it's not something that you like,

767
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: and use that vital energy to pass, to breathe, to relax,

768
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: because during relaxation you will be able to create strategy,

769
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 1: a better designed response or answer. That's the concept that

770
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 1: I use saying people flow, flow and create the response.

771
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: You need to change whatever you don't like about yourself

772
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 1: today or the world that you live in. And actually,

773
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: when I flow, everything gets solved. When I don't flow,

774
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 1: I spend a lot of time sacrificing my intelligence and

775
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: my creative energy just offering a physical, physical resistance to

776
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: this force that is coming against me. So that's the concept.

777
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: A lot of people reading the book in Spanish, is

778
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: not yet in English, but it will be because I'm

779
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: manifesting that this is going to be my first published

780
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 1: book in English. I have one that is going to

781
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 1: be an Amazon in July, self published, and that's my

782
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: first book, The Power of Soul Listening, that will be

783
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 1: in English. But I want this one to go published

784
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 1: by a major publishing house, and it will happen because

785
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: it's already it's already out there. Wow, well, I I

786
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: will be getting it and I'm so I'm so happy.

787
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm so happy. Um the concepts that you said are

788
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:11,720
Speaker 1: the it is, it is the it is the path

789
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: to lifelong transformation. UM. So I'm really excited for all

790
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,319
Speaker 1: that we'll get to connect to this work and understand

791
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:24,399
Speaker 1: what living your healing looks like. You know what, what

792
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: deep authentic restructuring of our brains, our hearts and the

793
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,320
Speaker 1: systems we have in place in our lives. So so

794
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 1: so so powerful. Ismael, thank you so much for joining

795

837
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 1: what this you know, um, quote unquote work life balance

00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 1: will see you soon. Thank you for joining us my pleasure.

846
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, such a powerful episode. Share this

847
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: with a friend, Send this um if you can. Right now,

848
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: I say, go ahead and add this and the share

849
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 1: to the group chat that you're in to a dear friend,

850
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 1: to someone you're connecting with it needs this, or that

851
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 1: you'd like to reflect and discuss this with. Is my

852
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 1: il gala? What an exceptional person? The affirmation we connected

853
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 1: to at the beginning of the show. Let's recenter right

854
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: now and get ready for some soul work and see

855
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 1: where that affirmation lands having now heard this episode, because

856
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 1: I want to invite you to get comfortable again. Settle in,

857
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 1: connect to the seat of your body. If able, maybe

858
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: consider putting your feet flat on the floor and grounding,

859
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 1: Connect to your heart, connect to your breath, and I'm

860
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 1: gonna invite you to gently close your eyes. My mind

861
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: is clear, and I am able to make choices that

862
01:00:56,600 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: serve my highest good with ease. My mind is clear,

863
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 1: and I am able to make choices that serve my

864
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: highest good with ease. Mm hmm. My mind is clear

865
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: and I am able to make choices that serve my

866
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:35,800
Speaker 1: highest good with ease. So hearing that hearing that affirmation

867
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 1: now connected to the contexts of the show that we

868
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 1: just had and some themes that are really standing out

869
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 1: to me right now. As I reread that, myself was

870
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 1: settling into a clarity setting, settling into a spaciousness with

871
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 1: yourself where you can hear the bigger stories of your

872
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 1: life that are being told, where you can zoom out

873
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 1: a little bit from the pixelated view you may have

874
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: about yourself and your experiences, about your gifts, about your purpose,

875
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 1: and really allowing yourself to zoom out and say, what

876
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 1: else is happening? What other things may have been conspiring

877
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 1: for my highest good? Where even in some of the

878
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 1: more challenging moments, was their opportunity for me? Was there

879
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: an unseen support for me? Was there a learning that

880
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 1: was available for me? And now, as we think about

881
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: our soul work, if you have a journal that's present,

882
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 1: or if you want to double back to the ending

883
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: of this episode later, when you have a pen and paper,

884
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 1: I'd like you to jot down what are some of

885
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 1: the whispers that are availing to you in this exact moment.

886
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 1: And by whispers, I mean where are you noticing signs?

887
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 1: Where are you noticing synchronicities, where are you noticing ease? Um?

888
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 1: You know how we've all begun to notice on our

889
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 1: phones that we might be having a conversation about something,

890
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden later that day or the

891
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 1: next day, an ad appears for it on your Facebook account,

892
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 1: or it appears on your phone in some way or

893
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 1: in an Instagram ad, and you're like, I was just

894
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 1: talking about that or I was just looking for that. Wow.

895
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 1: So that's a little bit of you know, social manipulation.

896
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 1: But that is kind of how it operates on a

897
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 1: soul level when we are noticing things out in the world,

898
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 1: when you happen to say, oh my gosh, I have

899
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 1: deja vu about that, or Wow, I was just thinking

900
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 1: about that at this book popped up, or this opportunity

901
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 1: popped up, or this conversation came. When things like that happen,

902
01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 1: I found that is where the truth lies, that is

903
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: where the learning lies, that is where the nudge of

904
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: what your next step is lies. So for soul work

905
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:13,800
Speaker 1: this week, I want you to jot down any observations

906
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 1: around that that you're making, or if there are no

907
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 1: observations that you can think of, present, really explore this

908
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: next week of your life through that lens that I

909
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 1: just expressed to you, that lens of noticing, that lens

910
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 1: of observing, that lens of commonality of themes that play

911
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 1: um a little bit of assistant, a little bit of

912
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 1: miracles that are pouring in. So just watch, and I

913
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 1: want you to start keeping notes about it. Keep a

914
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 1: bullet point of oh this just popped up and I

915
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 1: was just thinking about that. Put a date next to it.

916
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 1: Start to notice what patterns are happening. And I don't

917
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 1: just mean the patterns about our challenges. That's really powerful

918
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 1: to explore when we're learning and we're growing. What are

919
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 1: the patterns, what are the themes of the challenges that

920
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 1: have presented themselves, so that we can be aware of

921
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:14,480
