This is literally what drives me today. If the 60 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: future of medicine can really merge the wisdom of all 61 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: of our ancestors, no matter where we come from. Abada 62 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: is one of those incredible sciences with the amazing, incredible 63 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: science that Western medicine is giving us. Yeah, merge the 64 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: two door together for true integration. I think that the 65 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: world would be in such a better place. I think 66 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: that disease prevention would be the primary source of healthcare 67 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: instead of symptom management. And I can say that, yeah, 68 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: because I lived through all of it. So prior to 69 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: becoming a holistic nutritionist and yogi and meditation teacher and 70 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: reiki practitioner and NLP practitioner, I list them all because 71 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: I probably should have just become a doctor instead of 72 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 1: doing all of these modalities. 73 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: No, I love it. 74 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: But prior to that, I actually come from the world 75 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: of fashion. So I worked out of sales for massive 76 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: beauty brands, so Christian Dior and tom Ford Beauty and 77 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: Estate Lauder companies and say that about you. Yeah, So 78 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: my twenties was full of this like high paced fashion, 79 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: fun lifestyle, traveling the world doing makeup for fashion shows, 80 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: training people at big retailers. And I say it out loud, 81 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, that sounds kind of fun. Like it 82 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: was a really cool job to have. And as you know, 83 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: being Indian, having an Indian father, I didn't become a 84 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: doctor or a lawyer or a judge like my dad 85 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: or like my brother. When I got into the corporate world, 86 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: I hustled like this, A type hypervigilance that I had 87 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: was like literally get to the top, get security, you know, 88 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: do as much as you can to get a high 89 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: paying job that was going to get me respect, and 90 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: you know it came with a big, big, big priced egg. 91 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: So I used to say all the time that anxiety 92 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: was my blueprint, like it's just it's who I identified at. 93 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: I hit it very well, very very well. I would 94 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: almost say that the calmness that you so pleasantly gave me, 95 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: that compliment, that was almost a coping mechanism for me. 96 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: If people perceive me as calm on the outside, they 97 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: won't know about the internal suffering anxiety that I'm feeling 98 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: that I think I've had since I was a little kid. 99 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: So here I am anxiety, fast paced life, waking up 100 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: a hotel rooms, not knowing what city I was in, 101 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: chasing this high corporate salary. It was a corporate job, right. 102 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: Burnout is what I got to. During that time, I 103 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: started getting heart palpitations. These heart palputations got so fast 104 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: that I would bend down to pick something up and 105 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: nearly hit the deck. I would want to pass out, 106 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: and things got really bad. I ended up getting pcos. 107 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: I'll never forget a doctor told me that it was 108 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: so bad that I would probably have a really hard 109 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: time having children. Having children is the only thing I've 110 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: ever known that I really really wanted, and I do 111 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: have two kids today, beautiful children. Beautiful children. And the 112 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: heart palpitations. I was like, look, this isn't working for me. 113 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: This is now impacting my life. What's the solution. At 114 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: that point in my life, I wasn't interested in getting 115 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: to the root cause of healing. Give me quick fix. 116 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: So doctors wrote me a prescription medication for beta blocker medication. 117 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: Beta blocker medication. They did slow everything down. I still 118 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: to get my heart palpitations, but they weren't as bad, 119 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: but they also caused me to gain forty five pounds. 120 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: Forty five pounds later, I was like, hey, this isn't 121 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: working for me, Like I feel completely lethargic. Everything, my tone, 122 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: my energy just like drained. It dropped. And so they said, well, hey, 123 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: we can go in for surgery, and I said, okay, 124 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: let's do it. So I went in from my first 125 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: heart surgery. I was twenty three years old. 126 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. 127 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: They go through in ablation, so through your groin and 128 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: through your neck, you're awake for the whole thing. Your 129 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: heart's on this massive monitor and they induce you with 130 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: you know, adrenaline and caffeine and all these uppers to 131 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: try to induce these palpitations that I knew what only 132 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: happened if I was moving my body right. And so 133 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: they found a place where they could do an ablation, 134 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: where they burn off a portion of your heart on 135 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: this electrical note. They say they ended up doing two 136 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: oblations in that surgery. But the next morning I woke 137 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: up in the hospital and my heart was still pounding. Oh, 138 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: bawling my eyes out, What the hell is going on? 139 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: They said, well, let's go back in. So now I'm 140 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: twenty four, go back in for my second heart surgery, 141 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: and I'll never forget. Doctors asked me why I was crying. 142 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I'm looking at my heart on 143 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: a massive screen. I identify now as somebody who's on medication 144 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 1: and somebody who has a heart condition. I'm young, I 145 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,239 Speaker 1: have this great life, but I'm not happy. I feel 146 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: depressed most of the time. At this point, I feel sad, 147 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: But doctors never asked me about that. Doctors wanted to know, 148 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: like how much she's smoking, how much are you drinking? 149 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: Are you parting? From the outside, you look really good. 150 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: And I really want to call out to listeners who 151 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: like so many people reach out to me about heart palpitations, 152 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: and I think we all suffer from them for different reasons. 153 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: But for me, like I literally had a broken heart, 154 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: I was really sad. There was a lot of like 155 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: turmoil happening in my life. My parents were getting a divorce, 156 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: I was going through massive changes, and they just didn't 157 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: ask about that big part of me. Right, So I 158 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: passed all the tests on paper, and they said, well, 159 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: you know, at the moment, we can do this oblation again, 160 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: but if we go through with it, it's right next 161 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: to your sinus node, your essay node, and so if 162 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: we do that, you might have to wear a pacemaker 163 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: for the rest of your life. In that moment, it 164 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: was like one of those situations when your life flashes 165 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: before your eyes, and I was like, what the hell 166 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: is happening. I know that there's a better way to heal. 167 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to identify as somebody who's sick, who 168 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: has a heart conditions. Makes no sense. And the irony 169 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: of this entire story is that I knew that there 170 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: was a better way. So I said. My dad was Indian, 171 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: my mom is Danish. I've only ever known my mom 172 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: to suffer from debilitating autoimmune disease, so rheumatoid arthritis. So 173 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: I've only ever known my mom to have deformity, so 174 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: for all of her limbs. Right, my mom is such 175 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: a fighter, you know. The model owner houserowing up was 176 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: eat it it's good for you, Drink it, it's good 177 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: for you. She tried every single Eastern modality to heal 178 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: her body. And my dad with his inside in Nayraveda. 179 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: My mom found this ashram in Valmaran and Quebec. It's 180 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: the Shivananda Ashram where we would go and spend summers. 181 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: So my summers as a kid, I didn't get to 182 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: go to fun summer camp. I literally had to go 183 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: to yoga camp. 184 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 2: Yah. 185 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: My dad would tap me on the shoulder at five 186 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning to go and meditate. But that 187 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: was my blueprint, and I would see my mom's symptoms subside. 188 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: I would see the energy of my parents shift here. 189 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: I would even feel better going to this place, right, 190 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,599 Speaker 1: And so in that moment on the surgery table, I 191 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: knew that I had to go back to my roots, 192 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: and that's exactly what I did. So I called it 193 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: quits on the corporate world. Craig, my amazing husband, was 194 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: so supportive. I went and I lived at the ashram 195 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: for two months, and that's when I became a yoga teacher, 196 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: just for my own personal healing, and rathery at the Ashram, 197 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,719 Speaker 1: returning to all of those ancient healing principles. My heart 198 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: palpitation subsided, the weight fell off my body. I stopped dieting, 199 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: I stopped being hardcore hardcore exercise, hardcore dieting, and my 200 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: body came into balance. And we can talk about this more, 201 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: but the structure at the ashram, literally the schedule is 202 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: set so that you were forced to be present. So 203 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: maybe for the first time in decades, I became present 204 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: to my thoughts, the quality of my thoughts, which God, 205 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: nobody in this world should have ever hurt, my feelings, 206 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: my emotions, the things that I was stuffing into my body, 207 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: and like you know, he stuffings into your body, and 208 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: I'm focus on doing, doing, doing, doing doing, I just 209 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: ignored everything. And so looking back, when I think about 210 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: my poor heart, was like, I can't do this anymore. 211 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 1: We can't take it. Like You've been ignoring all of 212 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: these symptoms for so long. Here's what's going on, and 213 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: I think that, you know, did I need the heart surgeries? 214 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: Probably not, Like I really think that had. I have 215 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: done just a lot of this introspection work, you know, 216 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: work with different coaches and guides, work on my frequency 217 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: and my vibration words that I use with my clients 218 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: all the time. But back then was completely woo woo. 219 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: I think that now today there's a different approach to 220 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: healing because the structure of my heart was actually healthy. 221 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 2: Oh my god, so many questions come to mind, but 222 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 2: thank you so much for sharing that. What beautiful insight 223 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 2: into why you are the person you are today. At 224 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 2: the time, what were they naming your condition out of interest? 225 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: Yeah? So I get it was given the label of 226 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: atrial tachycardia. 227 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 3: Right wow. 228 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: And so when people go to the doctors, I mean, 229 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: what feels so good is to finally get a diagnosis. Right, 230 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: we all want a diagnosis. Great, we've got a diagnosis. 231 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: Now we're going to treat the diagnoses. But without getting 232 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: to the root. And as you and I were talking about, 233 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: we live in this symptom approach based healing methodology without 234 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: considering the body as its whole. So if we know 235 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: that the heart communicates to the rest of the body. 236 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: The rest of the body communicates to the heart. Why 237 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: wasn't there ever any other introspection to this? 238 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 2: Right, so interesting how we always try and treat a 239 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 2: physical problem with the physical solution. But the thing is 240 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 2: so like we've now learned and we still talk about it, 241 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 2: but I don't think it's put into action where oh, actually, 242 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 2: what your mind is feeling, your body feels the emotions 243 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 2: that are being suppressed, Your body is showing you what 244 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 2: they are. So the physical is just the depiction of 245 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 2: what's happening everywhere else, in your subconscious, in your mind, 246 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 2: in your heart. But when it's a heart problem, you 247 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 2: end up trying to fix the heart as a physical 248 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 2: body part rather than thinking about, wait, but what is 249 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 2: the heart feeling? And we forget that the heart as 250 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 2: a muscle feels something. It's more like it's a muscle 251 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 2: and we have to try and fix it physically. But 252 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 2: it's so interesting that they try to fix it physically, 253 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 2: and it was actually something mentally and emotional that you 254 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 2: actually did that helped heal it. 255 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: And what was so much worse for you know, I 256 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 1: started to identify as somebody who is sick. I'll never forget. 257 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: My brother asked me to do this triathlon with him. 258 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: My brother's ten years older. He's the athlete, he's the 259 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: end all of those things. And he asked me to 260 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: do it one year and I was like, well, no, 261 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: I can't. I've got a her condition. And thank God 262 00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: for him. He's just looked at me one day and 263 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: this is close, like twenty eight, twenty nine, and he said, 264 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: how's that working for you? And I was just like, 265 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: my life stop. Because although the disease had passed, the 266 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: weight had come off. I started my healing journey. There's 267 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: obviously some part of my belief system that still identified 268 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: as somebody who had a heart condition. So because of 269 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: that I went. I found a cardiologist who was in 270 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: tune with healing. I found a reiki practitioner. I made 271 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: it kind of like my non negotiable to go back 272 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: to the Ashram consistently as my source of healing, because 273 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: it meant that I was moving myself to the number 274 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: one position of my priority list to heal, so that 275 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: I would never go back to that old version of 276 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: myself that identified with sickness and illness. 277 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 2: And what was the routine that you had at the aushtrum. So, 278 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 2: for example, if people are trying to implement, you know, 279 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 2: I'm sure many people listening to this are like, oh 280 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 2: my gosh, I've I get help palpitations. Well, I feel 281 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 2: like I'm sad in my life right now. You know, 282 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 2: if they don't have access to the ostrum. What is 283 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 2: a simple routine that you were doing there that you 284 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 2: recommend people implement into their life now to create mimic 285 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 2: that same effects. 286 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: I love this question, So I really I have this 287 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: protocol with my clients, and it's really about building your 288 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 1: ashram at home. I would love for every single listener 289 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: to be able to go and experience an ashram. I 290 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: know that you have many many times and the magic 291 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: that comes with that, but it also means that if 292 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: I'm looking to go somewhere to feel a certain way, 293 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 1: that I'm putting that power outside of myself, when true 294 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: healing and consciousness is within. So I need to learn 295 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: how to replicate that at home wherever I am. So 296 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: maybe let's first describe the rituals at the ashram and 297 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: then we'll describe the second half. So, like I said before, 298 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: the structure the schedule at the ashram is pretty strict, honestly, 299 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 1: so strict and repetitive and consistent to the point where 300 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: it kind of feels like torture where they're like, oh 301 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: my god, this again yoga, you know. So first of all, 302 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: we wake up early in the morning, We rise with 303 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: the sun every single day. We hydrate with warm, nourishing 304 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: liquids to support our digestion and talx and elimination. From there, 305 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 1: we move into about thirty minutes of meditation and about 306 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: an hour of set saying so set syng sitting in 307 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: community gathering, chanting together, which activates your vagus nerve, which 308 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: is like the spiritual calling and attunement of your own frequency, 309 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: followed by some sort of a lecture from whether it's 310 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: a swami at the ashtram or a spiritual teacher that's there. 311 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: It's the education around like, hey, there's this wisdom and 312 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: intelligence within your body, let's learn how to awaken it. 313 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: So we're already anchoring that belief. From there, we moved 314 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: to our yoga practice. And yoga practice isn't like this 315 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: crazy hardcore, you know, hot yoga. It's thirty minutes of 316 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: breath work, breath work again, attuning to our vegus nerve. 317 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: We can talk about that in a bit, turning into 318 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: heart rate variability, calming down to the heart rate, coming 319 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: into the present moment, balancing the left and right meridians 320 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: of the body in or energetic centers right before we 321 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: move into the asiner practice. The asiner practice is the 322 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: actual yoga poses that most people in the West are 323 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: familiar with. But the really cool thing about this lineage 324 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: of yoga that I grew up with at the Shavvenandashram 325 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: was after every single pose that you hold, you're holding it, 326 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: you move into shavasna. So hold the pose, move into shavasna. 327 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: Hole the pose, move into the shavasna, and it's training 328 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: your mind and your body to move through these periods 329 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: of stress where it's like, Okay, I want to get 330 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: out of this the mental resistance that comes with us. 331 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: So we all experience off the mat and then we 332 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: go into relaxation. So we're ultimately retraining our nervous system 333 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: on how to build that resilience of moving into fight 334 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: or flight right or something stressful, then back into relaxation. 335 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: It's retraining and we take that back into the world. 336 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: From there, we go into beautiful sethfig high vibrational brunch, 337 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: which is like so colorful. I said, I started eating 338 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: more carbs than ever before, and that's carbs from the earth, 339 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: like really trusting in nature to heal the body, reds, purples, blues, greens, 340 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: like all of these beautiful colors, more fiber than I 341 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: was definitely eating. Back home, and the afternoon's open for 342 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: either devotional practices, some karma yoca, maybe some study, and 343 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: then we repeat that whole thing at noight we go 344 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: back into our breath, work, back into our yoga at 345 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: four o'clock. Six o'clock is an early dinner. Seven thirty 346 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: is back into set saying, and then lights out by 347 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: about nine thirty or ten every single night. So imagine 348 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: doing that for two months straight. Yes, talk about retraining 349 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: for this, like really stressed out, high intensity, plugged in 350 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: nervous system, you know, behavior that I had into now 351 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: feeling a sense of rest and digest I put the 352 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: wisdom back into my body to heal, so it could 353 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: really just start to activate instead of worrying about stress 354 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: and worrying and anxiety and fear. It can now operate 355 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: and do the things that it needed to do every 356 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: single day. To heal. 357 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 2: You know, I remember when I when we go back 358 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 2: to the actual room every year that we go to 359 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 2: to do our practices. My first few days, my body 360 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 2: is like what are you doing? Like high alert, and 361 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 2: I'm like, so, what's next? 362 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 3: Where do we go? 363 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 2: What's happening? Why were you sitting around? Why are we 364 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 2: not doing this? And it really takes i'd say good 365 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 2: few days, if not a week, oh yeah, to settle 366 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 2: in to the space of space, like to set it 367 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 2: into the idea that we have time, set into the 368 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 2: idea that we don't have to go from thing to 369 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 2: thing to thing, and that the busyness is sometimes a 370 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 2: way to hide or step away from what you actually 371 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 2: have to come to terms with. 372 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's an article written about that too, like what's 373 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 1: the new emotion that we all have? How are you busy? Right? 374 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: How are you busy? 375 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 3: It's so true? Are you trying to get out of 376 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 3: saying that? 377 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: I know it's so true? 378 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 3: Right? 379 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: And we're giving each other permission to just be busy. Well, 380 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: busy to me, my shoulders are up at my ears, 381 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: everything's contracted, my digestion shut down, everything's kind of sore. 382 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: I'm not sleeping well. I'm not, you know, I'm eating 383 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: all the time, so it's really addressing that. Maybe that's 384 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: a good question for your audience is what are the 385 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: practices that you have every single day that are training 386 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: your nervous system to be in this hypervigilant, busy state 387 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: and the retraining with your question about what can we do, 388 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: like what practice is from the Ashram? Can we rebuild? 389 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: You can obviously do every single one of those things 390 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: that I had mentioned from the Ashram back home, but 391 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: if you want to start with one or two, your 392 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: morning is magic. It has to be able to set 393 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: the tone for the day that you want ahead. So 394 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: one of my favorite meditation teachers, he came up with 395 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 1: this analogy RPM rise P meditate. Every day I say 396 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: add on a G RPMG rise P meditate, and then gratitude. 397 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: So every morning, before I even get out of bed, 398 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: my hands are over my heart. I'm literally like, thank 399 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: you for waking up today. Thank you to this heartbeat 400 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: who's been beating for me since before I even arrived 401 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: on this planet. Thank you for detoxing overnight, for replenishing 402 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: and restoring my body. Thank you for the ability to 403 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: wake up in the morning with a sense of common peace. 404 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: Help me carry this with me throughout the day. And 405 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: it's like we now know, through incredible practitioners and doctors 406 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: and science that is now validating that the power of 407 00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 1: gratitude can change the frequency of your heart. Right, So 408 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: you mentioned before the power of your heart having this 409 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: electromagnetic frequency. We now know that through gratitude practices, you 410 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: can expand your own electromagnetic frequency beyond the radius of 411 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: your own body. So if you start off in gratitude 412 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: or throughout the day practice gratitude, you're radiating that energy 413 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: to people around you. You're going to be impacting their field, 414 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: impacting the way that they feel. You're going to notice 415 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: that people are going to want to come talk to 416 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: you and maybe smile at you or say good morning. 417 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: It's like, it's pretty incredible the power of our energy 418 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: when we tune into it. It so is. 419 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 2: And you know, the busy thing that we were talking about, 420 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 2: it's almost like now it's not it is an emotion, 421 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 2: but it's also almost like an award that we think 422 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 2: we're giving ourselves that like, oh, yeah, I'm just so busy, right, 423 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 2: And I think like, if I reflect on it, I 424 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 2: definitely had that mindset of it, because I was like, oh, 425 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 2: it proves that I'm doing something, and it proves that 426 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 2: I like doing such important things because I'm busy all 427 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 2: the time. But actually, in the moments that I have 428 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 2: felt that way and I have actually been very busy, 429 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 2: it has depleted my mental energy, my physical energy, my 430 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 2: emotional energy, my ability to interact with people in a 431 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 2: way that's present, to be able to interact with the 432 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 2: people that I love with presents and with mindfulness. 433 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 3: And with love. 434 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,959 Speaker 2: And it almost like it depletes you of all the 435 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 2: things that you actually want to be. It depletes you 436 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,719 Speaker 2: of all the emotions that you want to have. It 437 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 2: depletes you of like the ability to actually have meaningful 438 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 2: interactions with the people you want to have meaningful interactions with. 439 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 2: So it strips actually, it actually takes things away from 440 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 2: you more than it gives to you. 441 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: Right, And I think, like the intention behind the busy aspect, 442 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: let's focus on the positive with it, right, So we 443 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: treat cortisol as like we demonize it. Cortisol. Oh, stress, 444 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna gain way, You're gonna hold onto fad, You're 445 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: gonna do all these things too much. Cortisol. Cortisol is 446 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: actually a beautiful thing. It's our motivation in the morning, 447 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: it's our get up and go, it's our drive. But 448 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: living in the state of constantly feeling like we're wearing 449 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: busy with a badge of honor. Yeah, right, and like 450 00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: no one else is noticing. It's just you that's putting 451 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: self impose limitation and belief upon yourself. Over time, without 452 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: practice coming into kind of that RESTful state, we've become 453 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: addicted to living there. That's what that was my mo 454 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: The busier than I could be if I was sitting down, 455 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: resting or watching a movie, I need to be doing something. 456 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 1: I can't just tell I have to be doing something. 457 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 1: If I was in a car, it's like I had 458 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: to be listening to something educational. I couldn't waste time 459 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 1: in the car. Right, it's constantly busy in doing and 460 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: if you get stuck in that kind of hypervigilant state too. 461 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: To your point, it's that analogy of like you know 462 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 1: animals running in the wild from a predator, right, they're 463 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: running constantly there. You know, their processes and their bodies 464 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,959 Speaker 1: shut down, digestion stops, and yet we operate at that 465 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: pace for as long as we can. Then we go 466 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: out and we try to biohack our way to try 467 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: to feel better, do things that are really really hard, right, 468 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 1: to kind of shift us back and because we think 469 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,479 Speaker 1: that it's good and it's strong. But I would say 470 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: the most challenging practices for any of the people that 471 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: I work with is really just like stop exactly breathe 472 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 1: and learn how to be in their bodies. Like if 473 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: a lot of my men, specifically that I work with, 474 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: if I guide them to an embodiment practice to come 475 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: into their bodies within fifteen seconds, their eyes are closed, 476 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: but they can't keep them closed. They need to open 477 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: them to see. Yeah, so much discomfront. I don't want 478 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: to be and there need to be doing something keep 479 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: my eyes open? Right, and women too, right. We live 480 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: in a world where we need to be busy all 481 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: the time. We try to wear these accolades of being 482 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: moms and entrepreneurs and doing it all, and we think 483 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: that we need to show up to everybody else by 484 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: doing it all. We think it's a weakness to stop 485 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: because it makes us vulnerable, yes, right, it makes us 486 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: be it as though we're going to be perceived as 487 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: not successful. 488 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so much I always think about this. 489 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 2: I know I'm in that state when certain workouts that 490 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 2: are really intense feel more attractive than the ones that 491 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 2: are calm. And I have to like sit into the 492 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 2: pose and you have to like go through each thing slowly. 493 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 2: And I always, for a long time, I've chosen the 494 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 2: hard the ones that I perceive as being harder. But actually, 495 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,479 Speaker 2: if I think about it, sitting in the arseness or 496 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 2: like the slow movements of yoga, the reason I avoid 497 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 2: it is because I don't want to go through the 498 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 2: slow pace. I'm so used to the fast pace. This weekend, 499 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 2: actually I took a nap a day, nap for like 500 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,239 Speaker 2: a couple of hours. And I since me and Jay 501 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 2: have been married, I've probably napped in the day maybe twice. 502 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 2: He's seen me do that because I just don't. I'm 503 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 2: never and when that was when I was unwell and 504 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 2: had COVID, those are probably the only two times. And 505 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 2: it was so interesting because I was reflecting back on 506 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 2: it and I woke up from the nap and I 507 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 2: was like, oh my God, like what just happened? As 508 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 2: I said to Jane, and I was like, when was 509 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 2: the last time you saw me nap? And he was like, yeah, 510 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 2: I don't think I've really seen you nap. And I 511 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 2: think for the whole day, I was kind of going 512 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 2: on about it, saying, I can't believe I napped, Like 513 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 2: I don't even know what happened to me, Like why 514 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 2: I told my mom about it, I told my dad 515 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 2: about it. 516 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 3: I was like really in shock that I actually needed 517 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 3: to nap. And Jay was like, God, I feel like 518 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 3: this nap really affected you. 519 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 2: And I was like, and I think it was the 520 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 2: idea that one why am I tired? One why am 521 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 2: I acting on it? And two why am I acting 522 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 2: on it? Why did my body need that much rest? 523 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 2: I never need that much rest, So it was almost 524 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 2: like my body was telling me you should have been 525 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 2: doing something else, or my mind was telling me, but 526 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 2: my body was so exhausted and I really needed that nap. 527 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 2: And it's so funny how the rest feels more uncomfortable. 528 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 2: And I was like, oh, I could have organized this, 529 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 2: and I could have done this, and I probably should 530 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 2: have read this book for work, but it reminded me 531 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 2: of that because I felt so uncomfortable and I had 532 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 2: to explain why I took that nap to so many people. 533 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: You had to justify it app to other people, right, 534 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: And let's have around that for a second, because you know, 535 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: I can hear a lot of your listeners probably empathizing. 536 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: You know, we have to rationalize it afterwards, right, instead 537 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: of just owning it. But here's what like again, science 538 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: is proving at the astrom they rest in between those 539 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 1: yoga poses. They rest because they know that your productivity 540 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: can actually go up. Your motivation goes up, your creativity 541 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 1: goes up, the way that your body functions goes up. 542 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: Your digestion is able to turn, you know, go up. 543 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: So you know, when we think about the things that 544 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 1: your body is communicating every single day, I think, as women, 545 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: especially because we do have that intuition, we've almost mastered 546 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: ignoring the symptoms. Yes, right, So one of the practices 547 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: that I have whenever I'm speaking to larger audiences is, 548 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 1: you know, how many people here, by rays showing their hands, 549 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: how many people here suffer from digestive issues, heartburn, gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, 550 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: actne on their skin, ezema, low sex drive, lack of concentration, 551 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: inability to sleep, inability to rest, hypervigilants, worry. You know, 552 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: every single hand. 553 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, by the INDs already have. 554 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 1: So these are symptoms. These are modern day symptoms that 555 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: we're all suffering from, and we're identifying with them. They 556 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: become us over time, especially if we're not doing anything 557 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: to change them, and then we're normalizing them in society 558 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: and the work that you and I do with our clients. 559 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: It's like recognizing those symptoms are so common, but they're 560 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: certainly not normal. And so if you can just honor hey, okay, 561 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: I'm getting this, you know, irritability every single day, getting 562 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: these digestive issues every single day, instead of ignoring them, 563 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: tuning in understanding where they come from, talking with a practitioner, 564 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: and then working with your body, which is unlike any 565 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: other body on this planet with a different background and 566 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: genetic code and obligations and expectations and everything, working on 567 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: a protocol that's so unique for you to subside those symptoms, 568 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: because if we do have a symptom, it's simply our 569 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: body's way of communicating with us so that we can 570 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: resolve it. And instead we see the accumulation over time 571 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: that leads to further imbalances for the diseases that eventually 572 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 1: lead to disease disease just doesn't show up overnight. Cancer 573 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: just doesn't show up overnight. It's the result of this 574 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: stress on the body. And when our body no longer 575 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: has the means or resilience to deal with the stress within, 576 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: the red alert is going to go on. 577 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like we've normalized it because the only 578 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 2: time anything spoken about is when it's. 579 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 3: It's chronic state. 580 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 2: So you don't hear doctors going on about if you've 581 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 2: got a bit of bloating, should be get if you 582 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 2: have eczema, you know, just put this cream on it. 583 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 3: It's so interesting. 584 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 2: I keep seeing these ads whenever I'm watching something, when 585 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 2: an advert comes on, it's all a lot of them 586 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 2: are health things, like a cream for XMA or this, 587 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 2: And it's so interesting to me that they will say 588 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 2: this can help take your XMA away with them two days, 589 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 2: and then at the end it's like, can cause cancer, 590 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 2: can cause multi disorders, can cause all these things. And 591 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 2: I think about how we've normalized the fact that you 592 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 2: can take away these daily symptoms by putting a band 593 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 2: aid on it, and like you're not really taking them away, 594 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 2: you're just allowing You're not allowing your body to show 595 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 2: it and I think there's a difference. You're not taking 596 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 2: it away. Your body just isn't showing the symptom because 597 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 2: you're suppressing that, and so it still exists in you. 598 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 2: But all of these little things, they're trying to take 599 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 2: them away so easily by pretending like they don't exist, 600 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 2: but they're still developing in our body. And so I 601 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 2: think it's normalized because the only time you then hear 602 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 2: about a health issue is when it's it's chronics, when 603 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 2: it's a cancer or heart disease or diabetes, and so 604 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 2: we get used to thinking, oh, well, the doctors don't 605 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 2: saying this is a big deal. So if I have 606 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 2: bad digestion for three years, four years, five years, my 607 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 2: whole life, it's a normal thing. 608 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,199 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yeah. And that goes from like all 609 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 1: these imbalances that you're talking about that are seemingly quite simple, 610 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: to even bigger things like miscarriages. Doctors are like, I'm 611 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: so sorry, it's it's normal. Ya. It's like, well, no, 612 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: it's not normal for me, right, And so I think 613 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: that you know, the wisdom, it's time for the wisdom 614 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: to come back into our bodies. And I think that 615 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: deep down a lot of women understand this concept of 616 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: consciousness within us or intelligence, like we see it all 617 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: the time. If we break our bone, our body knows 618 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: what to do to heal it, repairs it. If we 619 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: have a wound or a cut, our body heals it. 620 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: But we were never taught that we could become our 621 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: own healers. And so I still think, like right now, 622 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: it's still a little bit of a foreign concept. But 623 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: as this world of like quantum healing is now waking 624 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: up or understanding. Okay, you know what kind of done 625 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: with the system of diagnoses and diagnosing. Ye, if we 626 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: understand that we have a physical body, but there's also 627 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: an energetic body that stands behind it. And now we 628 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: understand through science that every single cell has its own frequency. Okay, 629 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: And if you think about an orchestra, if there's one 630 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: instrument in the orchestra, call it a violin that's off tune. 631 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: Now that's a cell in your body. The whole orchestra 632 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: is going to go off. But we have to understand 633 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: what's the source of the imbalance and the frequency. And 634 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: this is where I think, you know, not only ancient 635 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,719 Speaker 1: healing modalities, things like aire beta and traditional Chinese medicine 636 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: and so many other ancient cultures, but also sound healing 637 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: and frequency healing and PEMF and vibrational tables and acupuncture 638 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: and all these modalities that I think need to be 639 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: needs to go viral, and it needs to go mainstream, right. 640 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: I'm amazed at how many people still haven't experienced something 641 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: like acupuncture when it balances the meridians in your body, 642 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: like I've seen so many people yield through acupuncture and 643 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: through sound healing. 644 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 2: It's just it's incredible, it is, And I think we 645 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 2: get skeed of, you know, whenever I talk about anything 646 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 2: to do with natural means of healing. And I find 647 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 2: it really interesting because people's a lot of people's automatic 648 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 2: reaction is stop telling people misinformation, and you know, doctors, 649 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 2: like you can't tell people people that doctors aren't wrong. 650 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 3: I'm not saying doctors are wrong, but. 651 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 2: I think people are so scared to believe that they 652 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 2: can heal themselves because it feels like such a heavy responsibility. 653 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 2: It's like, wait, how are you telling me that I 654 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 2: can heal myself and I don't need to go to 655 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 2: a doctor. And I'm not saying you don't need to, 656 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 2: but what I am saying is I truly believe that 657 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 2: how the person that knows how to heal your self 658 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 2: best is because you are living in your body day 659 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 2: and day out. You are observing your if you choose to, 660 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 2: you can observe your body every single day, in every 661 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 2: single moment, so you have the ability to get to 662 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 2: know your body in the best way possible, more than 663 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 2: any diagnostic tool possibly can. And the more that you 664 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 2: connect to your body and your heart and your mind, 665 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 2: the more your body starts speaking to you. And so 666 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 2: it's not saying that you're worried about something you don't 667 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 2: speak to a professional about it. But in the day 668 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 2: to day life where little things are going wrong, you 669 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 2: should be able to self correct by having the education 670 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 2: to do so. And I know you know it does 671 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 2: feel heavy like to think that you can heal yourself 672 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 2: after being told that just for a coffin of cold 673 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 2: you should go to the doctor and get antibiotics. Of course, 674 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 2: you're going to be scared to take that responsibility onto 675 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 2: yourself because you've forever been told that it is not 676 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 2: in your control and that you do not have the 677 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 2: power to do it. But again, just because something is 678 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 2: normalized does not mean it's the right way or the 679 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 2: right thing to do. And so I think people's fear 680 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 2: is very justified. But I think as soon as you 681 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 2: start taking it back into your own hands. Like I 682 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 2: share this not. 683 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 3: Very often, actually I don't even know whether I've shared 684 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 3: on this. 685 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 2: Podcast, but I have chosen for the past ten years 686 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 2: not to take medication, like conventional medication. And at first, 687 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 2: I swear people thought I was psychotic. I was like, 688 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 2: I had a headache, everyone take just take an advil. 689 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 2: I was like, I don't want to take an advil. 690 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 2: I'm like, And now my friend's come over and they're like, 691 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 2: do you have advain? I'm like, can I give you 692 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 2: peppermint oil on your head? 693 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, for ten minutes. 694 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 2: If it doesn't work, ask me for the advil and 695 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 2: I will happily give it. Actually I don't have advalin 696 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 2: in the house, but I will order it for you. 697 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 2: But try this, or if you have a cough, let 698 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 2: me make you some udgewayhing water and if it stops 699 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 2: the irritation, great. 700 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 3: If it doesn't, I will order you some cough serrup. 701 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 3: And what I've. 702 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 2: Realized is, in those ten years, touch with it. Even 703 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 2: when I had a tooth infection, which I think I 704 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 2: had messaged you about at some point years ago. I 705 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 2: got tooth infection and the passor was I take antibiotics, 706 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 2: and my body was telling me you don't take antibiotics, like, 707 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,239 Speaker 2: don't do it. And I put clove wall and I 708 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 2: was chip. My mom was like, chew on cloth. It 709 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 2: will help with the pain, it will help the inflammation. 710 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 2: And I had those antibiotics that were given to me 711 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 2: and I didn't touch them. And all that to say, 712 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 2: there are I'm not saying everything will be healed by that, 713 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 2: but trusting in my body's ability to actually do what 714 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 2: it's supposed to do by me fueling it in the 715 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 2: way I know I should. So I think it's two things. 716 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 2: It's like, yes, your body can do the work, but 717 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 2: are you giving it the things to allow it to 718 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 2: do the work in the best way possible. Are you 719 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 2: feeding it, nourishing it, listening to the right things, learning 720 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 2: the right things to know what to do in those situations. 721 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 3: So it goes in two ways. 722 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 2: Your body has the ability, but not if you're not 723 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 2: treating it in the right way to actually fight the 724 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 2: way that it needs to. 725 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, don't be silly. I know the people that you're 726 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: talking about who say it's irresponsible in all the things, 727 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: but we're also waking up to the fact that Western 728 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: medicine is also a very antiquated form of training. Right 729 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 1: the fact that we now you know, this past year 730 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: was shining light on the fact that doctors really have 731 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,959 Speaker 1: no nutrition training when nutrition and hydration is a pillar 732 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,719 Speaker 1: of survival keeping a human body alive, it makes no sense. 733 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: And the fact that we just know that there's so 734 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: many things that we can be doing. So I think 735 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 1: that if you can become your own greatest investigator to 736 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: understand what's causing your symptoms or if you're noticing that 737 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 1: you do get things like head of headaches pretty consistently, 738 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: something's caught it causing the headache your body communicating like hey, 739 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: figure this out for me, right, and like you don't 740 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: pop TITLENL and advil when I needed. I just really 741 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: understand what I can be doing and all these other 742 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: incredible modalities that we can be doing. 743 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 2: Also, and even with breath work what you mentioned, like, 744 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 2: I emphasized this so much because I'm seen not even 745 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 2: just mentally and emotionally, but physically, what difference it made 746 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 2: I from a young age was told I was asthmatic. 747 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:18,919 Speaker 1: Wow. 748 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,240 Speaker 2: So I was on in halo's when I was younger, 749 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 2: when I would work out, when I was, you know, 750 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,800 Speaker 2: doing any kind of exercise, or I was at school 751 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 2: and I did pee, and I was like getting a 752 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 2: bit out of breath. In my mind, I was told, 753 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 2: take you in haler before you even do that. Take 754 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 2: you in haler before you even go into an exercise, 755 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 2: just in case, so that your lungs can handle it. 756 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 2: And so I grew up taking an inhaler before I 757 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 2: started running, before I played with my friends. As soon 758 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 2: as I felt a little bit out of breath, when 759 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 2: I had allergies for cats or dogs or whatever it was, 760 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 2: it was like minehala was the way to go. I 761 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 2: made a decision that I did not want to use 762 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 2: minehala when I got into I think my teens, and 763 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 2: then when I got to my twenties, I decide and 764 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 2: I was use it here and there. As soon as 765 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 2: I felt my chest go tight, it was scary for me. 766 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 2: So I'd be like, okay, I need to take my inhaler. 767 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 2: I made a decision not too. And that was after 768 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 2: learning breathwork and what I realized was, I would say 769 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 2: every single time I felt it, all I did was 770 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 2: take deep breaths, And all I did was sit there 771 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 2: with my breath and go deeper and deeper into it. 772 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,720 Speaker 2: Whether it was at night when I was feeling wheezy, 773 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 2: whether I'd just been around a cat and I was 774 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 2: having an allergy for it. 775 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 3: You know, there was so. 776 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 2: Many times where I've been through it where I was 777 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,359 Speaker 2: about to take reach for something and I didn't, and 778 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 2: breathwork was the thing that got me through it. Even 779 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 2: the most recent time, I haven't had an allergy for 780 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 2: such a long time. But I went to a house 781 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 2: and I had a shoot where they had obviously had 782 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 2: a cat in the house, and I was literally in 783 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,240 Speaker 2: this photo shoot and my team was seeing me getting 784 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 2: more and more breathless through it, and I actually got 785 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 2: a wheeze, which I hadn't had for a long time. 786 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 3: My face was tingling from it. Everything. 787 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 2: I got home and I was like, I have to 788 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 2: have a shower. I need to put eucalyptus oil in 789 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 2: the shower, and then I need to get out and 790 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 2: for half an hour I need to. 791 00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 3: Deep breathe, let the oxypen back in. 792 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, an hour, maybe too later, I felt like nothing 793 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 2: had happened to me. 794 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was just so interesting for me to observe. 795 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 2: And again I'm not saying this is going to heal everyone, 796 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 2: but I am saying it was so interesting for me 797 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 2: after not having experienced it for a long time, actually 798 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,720 Speaker 2: putting it into practice and being like wow, I would 799 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 2: have normally, yeah, taken something for this, done something for this, 800 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 2: but my body knew what I needed, and because I 801 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 2: listened to it, I didn't go straight into trying to 802 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 2: work or do anything else. I took two hours where 803 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,400 Speaker 2: I was trying to listen to what's happening, and I 804 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 2: took action in that way. And breath is just so 805 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 2: powerful it's unbelievable. 806 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: So what did you do? You took your body from 807 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: a stressful state, yes, where your mind wanted to take 808 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: over and say, oh my god, it's happening again, start 809 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 1: to freak out more anxiety and instead of going to 810 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: pop the pill or whatever your trained response is for 811 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 1: when that anxiety comes up, which is a rightly deserved 812 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 1: anxiety response. Like, I'm not dismissing that, but there's so 813 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: few people because of your background and where you came 814 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: from knew. Oh, hang on a second, my body's stressed. 815 00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 1: I need to come back into balance again. What are 816 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,359 Speaker 1: their modalities that got and help me? And it's retraining 817 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: And I think that people need to understand, like you 818 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: can train your body, you can retrain your nervous system whatever, 819 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: this state of comfort that you're used to being in. 820 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: I know for me growing up, I was on antibiotics 821 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 1: every single year from the age of three until about 822 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 1: fifteen when my mom found a functional medicine. 823 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,880 Speaker 3: Doctor and we'll be you on antibiotics, fool. 824 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 1: I tonsilitus every year, tonsilitis every single year. It was wild. 825 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 1: And back then it was just like, oh antibiotics, Sure, 826 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: two weeks later again, Sure, give it to it again, 827 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 1: over and over. Right, Now we know the gut microbiomes 828 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 1: completely wiped out, and the vagus nerve moves from our 829 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: gut through our heart and up to our brain. Right, 830 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,479 Speaker 1: this constant state of stress that's moving back and forth 831 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,839 Speaker 1: through my heart right, and the bacteria that are also 832 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 1: involved in our immune system and stuff like that. And 833 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:52,279 Speaker 1: after stopping that those antibiotics, I've never looked back like 834 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,720 Speaker 1: I really haven't. So again, I think it's just about 835 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 1: asking questions and being curious. Just be curious if there's 836 00:37:58,080 --> 00:37:59,439 Speaker 1: another way that you can heal your body. 837 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't change the plan. Just have a 838 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 2: plan A. Yeah, that's a little bit different. And if 839 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 2: Plan A doesn't work within an hour, within two hours, 840 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 2: go back to the plan B can. I think it's 841 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 2: just giving yourself that grace of space to think and 842 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 2: create a new pathway. And if that new pathway doesn't work, 843 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:16,440 Speaker 2: go back to the old pathway. 844 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,759 Speaker 1: Yeah. And I love that you brought up breath work too, 845 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 1: So breathwork I think is also like the future of medicine. Yeah, 846 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 1: I really do so. If you can imagine going to 847 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 1: your doctor's office, sitting in the waiting room and being 848 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: prompted through a screen on how to breathe deeply, I 849 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,080 Speaker 1: wonder how many people would go into the appointment like, oh, 850 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: you know what, I don't know if I need to 851 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: be here anymore, or if it was something that was 852 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: more acute, or if it was related to an illness 853 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 1: then leaving the doctor's office. But the first thing that 854 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: they recommended was breathwork every single day, right, or even meditation, right. Like, 855 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,359 Speaker 1: I think that there's so many people out there who 856 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 1: say that they can't meditate. Yes, And it's like, well, 857 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: if I told you that there was this one thing 858 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,320 Speaker 1: that science is now proving that can lower your anxiety, 859 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 1: improve your happiness, give you great your creativity and mental focus, 860 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 1: optimize your digestion, literally lower inflammation in your joints, help 861 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,879 Speaker 1: you sleep better, help you have better relationships, all proven, Right, 862 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: would you do it? Yeah, we would do it, right, 863 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,120 Speaker 1: But when we lived in a pill, but it was 864 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,360 Speaker 1: a pill, that's easier, right, So I don't have a 865 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:17,640 Speaker 1: five or ten minutes in the morning. 866 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, you spoke about energy, you know, we would talk 867 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 2: about energy and frequencies, and I think sometimes, you know, 868 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,319 Speaker 2: back in the day you said it was woo woo. 869 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 2: I still think people have that narrative of it, that. 870 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 3: It is a little bit woo woo. 871 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,959 Speaker 2: I would love to hear one when you're speaking about energy, 872 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 2: When people are talking about energy, what does it mean, 873 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 2: what does it look like, how can people experience it? 874 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:36,839 Speaker 3: And frequencies? 875 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 2: Discuss that a little bit so people can understand where 876 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,399 Speaker 2: in their day they're experiencing frequencies and how it affects them. 877 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, if you think about your current state of energy, 878 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: I want you to consider when you wake up in 879 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,680 Speaker 1: the morning, what's the most important feeling that you want, 880 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 1: what's the most important emotion that you want? And I 881 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 1: bring this up with my clients on our first call. 882 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,319 Speaker 1: You know, the first call is always want to tell 883 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 1: me what to eat, what's the supplier protocol, what's the diet? 884 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, I've been brace a little bit. Yeah, 885 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to know what to do. I want 886 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 1: to know what to do also, right, But when we 887 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: peel back the layers, when I'm understanding my clients, so 888 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 1: that other branch that I'm working with my clients on 889 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,320 Speaker 1: is understanding what is your core value system? What do 890 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: you believe to be true about healing and health? How 891 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 1: are you describing yourself every day? I've said a few 892 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 1: times on this podcast, my blueprint was anxiety. How would 893 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: my body function if my blueprint was anxiety? How do 894 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 1: you identify? And typically within the first sixty minutes on 895 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,880 Speaker 1: this initial call, I met with tears by like ninety 896 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,280 Speaker 1: percent of the callers because they identify with a memory 897 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 1: that they had. You know, last time, I felt like 898 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: really happy and like peaceful in my body, with like 899 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: no worries in the world. I was like five or 900 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 1: six years old, Like, I remember a version of myself 901 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: that felt peace, but I don't feel it anymore. 902 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 3: I think I cried in my first cool you did, Yeah, 903 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,319 Speaker 3: I remember now that you mentioned. I was like, I 904 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 3: think I'm one of those clients. 905 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 1: But it's so normal way because we peel back the 906 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: layers of what do I think I need to be doing. 907 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: What's the next thing that I can try, what's the 908 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,719 Speaker 1: next protocol I'm going to try something new? What's the 909 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: next magic pill? There's no magic pill. Let's peel back 910 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 1: the layers to figure out, like, when's the last time 911 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 1: that you actually felt good in your body? What are 912 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 1: the emotions that we can waken from that point? Right? 913 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,640 Speaker 1: Have you ever read any of David Hawkins? No? But 914 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:24,640 Speaker 1: I washed his stuff. It's like incredible, Right. So he 915 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,359 Speaker 1: has actually a chart of vibrations that people can look 916 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,319 Speaker 1: at where we can actually measure the vibrational frequency of 917 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 1: specific emotions. When somebody's feeling anxiety or shame or stress 918 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: or worry or tension or fear within their body, like 919 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: that energy comes in, it's a lower vibrational frequency. When 920 00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 1: someone can shift into feeling a sense of happiness or 921 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 1: peace or even joy, all of a sudden that expansion 922 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: opens up. We can measure this, and we now know 923 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,320 Speaker 1: through doctors like doctor jo Despenza, right, whether you can 924 00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,360 Speaker 1: visualize the feeling and make it feel really real in 925 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 1: the moment, your mind and your body doesn't know the 926 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 1: difference between it happening in the past versus happening right now. 927 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 1: This is true gratitude, right. So with my clients, I 928 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,520 Speaker 1: help them really uncover, like what is your core value? 929 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 1: The sad part about all this is that I would 930 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 1: say a lot of people, how do you want to 931 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 1: feel when you wake up in the morning. I want 932 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,799 Speaker 1: to feel successful. I want to feel motivated. I want 933 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:25,359 Speaker 1: to feel wealthy, I want to feel admired, I want 934 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 1: to feel like you know, people want to connect with 935 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,080 Speaker 1: me like, yeah, none of those are really emotions. Yeah, 936 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,400 Speaker 1: the core emotion that you want to feel. And it 937 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,400 Speaker 1: could take like honestly up to thirty minutes for some 938 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 1: people to really even come to the word happy. 939 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 3: I know I was going to feel how do I 940 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 3: want to feel? And I was like content and satisfied? 941 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: Did you come into this world to just feel content 942 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 1: and satisfied? What's bigger than content and satisfied? For you? 943 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,160 Speaker 3: What's bigger than content and satisfied? 944 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,319 Speaker 1: If you were to wake up tomorrow morning and you 945 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,400 Speaker 1: wake up feeling content and satisfied, is there anything bigger 946 00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 1: than feeling content and satisfied? 947 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 3: I can think of lots of words, so I could 948 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 3: just shout them out, ye, shut them out? Devoted, useful, 949 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 3: not this? 950 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,840 Speaker 1: How do you feel when you're useful to others and 951 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: devoted and content and satisfied? 952 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 3: Present whole? 953 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 1: How do you feel when you're present and whole?

And if listeners are doing this, do you close 958 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,239 Speaker 1: your eyes just come into your body? How do you 959 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:27,680 Speaker 1: feel in the morning when you wake up and you 960 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:33,880 Speaker 1: feel content and whole and on purpose and pleasant and whole? 961 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 1: How do you feel what's that emotion within your body? 962 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:37,840 Speaker 3: Joy? 963 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:38,839 Speaker 1: There?

I want 968 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 1: to be in mission based right, But how do all 969 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,680 Speaker 1: those things make me feel. That makes me feel like 970 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,839 Speaker 1: joy for some other people makes them feel a sense 971 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 1: of peace and calm. 972 00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:57,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. 973 00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,759 Speaker 1: So if I could work with you every single day 974 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,680 Speaker 1: when you wake up every single morning and just visualize, 975 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,400 Speaker 1: like that train thought that took you through all of 976 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,759 Speaker 1: those things, the thoughts that came up, the activities that 977 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 1: you're doing, the people that you're meeting with, like, get 978 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 1: all that in, Like, how does that make you feel joy? 979 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:16,040 Speaker 1: Your core value then that day is joy. So if 980 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,480 Speaker 1: you are lining all of your decisions around what you eat, 981 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 1: is this going to take me close to joy or 982 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 1: deplete me from joy? I'm going to eat that. Is 983 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 1: watching this movie going to take me towards joy or 984 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,440 Speaker 1: deplete me from joy? I'm going to watch that? Is 985 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: it doing this activity going to move me towards joy 986 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,319 Speaker 1: or not? Right? And I'm hearing listeners say, yeah, but mohen, 987 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 1: I go to a job that you know I need 988 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 1: to make money, it doesn't bring me joy. Yeah, but 989 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 1: that's your ownership for your healing blueprint to seek more 990 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,319 Speaker 1: joy in the opportunities when you can. 991 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 3: Yes, right, my gosh. 992 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,560 Speaker 2: Frequencies and energy people, and I feel like we spoke 993 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 2: about vegas nev as well. Could you just talk a 994 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:47,440 Speaker 2: little bit more about that. 995 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, vegas nervous is like miracle wisdom. I call it 996 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 1: intelligence of the body that moves from our brain down 997 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:58,520 Speaker 1: through our body, passes through our heart into our gut microbiome, 998 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 1: and it's by directionals, so it's communicating to the brain 999 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,799 Speaker 1: commuting back to the gut through the heart. Right, So 1000 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,840 Speaker 1: we have more nerve endings also within the gut microbiome 1001 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 1: than we do within the brain, but we don't have 1002 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,680 Speaker 1: any connection to what's happening in our gut. It's become 1003 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,479 Speaker 1: this trendy word. There's science behind it that we're trying 1004 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,200 Speaker 1: to validate. It's still evolving. We can't see your gut, right, 1005 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,239 Speaker 1: so we're so does connected. Get to know your gut? 1006 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,520 Speaker 1: Get to know your gut through things like your bowel 1007 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,240 Speaker 1: movements through you know, if you're somebody who gets nervous 1008 00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,359 Speaker 1: all the time and your stomach kind of goes off, right, 1009 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 1: just get to know your gut is your digestion optimal 1010 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,319 Speaker 1: because if it's not, you're suffering from any of those 1011 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,520 Speaker 1: digestive symptoms. It's sending a stressful state, a stressful feeling 1012 00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 1: up to the brain. So for somebody who suffers from 1013 00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,480 Speaker 1: something like stress or anxiety, is it stress or anxiety 1014 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 1: or does it come from a deeper cause? Right, and 1015 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,160 Speaker 1: we now know that we can do vague toning exercises, 1016 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:54,440 Speaker 1: and Western practitioners will often recommend a device that's you 1017 00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,880 Speaker 1: know you can put up. It's like this electrical stimulation 1018 00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,879 Speaker 1: for your vagus nerve that you hold up. I'm holding 1019 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:02,240 Speaker 1: my pulse points right now. They're great, they can be effective. 1020 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,879 Speaker 1: But again, ancient wisdom knew about this. They knew that 1021 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:10,759 Speaker 1: through humming, chanting, we can activate our vegas nerve. Right 1022 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:15,279 Speaker 1: when you're gargling, you activate your vegus nerve. When you're 1023 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,279 Speaker 1: speaking with some people, there's a way that you can 1024 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 1: speak to activate the vegas nerve. Through breath work, you 1025 00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,279 Speaker 1: activate your vegas nerve. Through yoga practice you activate your 1026 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 1: vegas nerve. There's so many modalities that activate your vegus 1027 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,320 Speaker 1: nerve that we need to focus on because you're building 1028 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 1: resilience back into the body. Interesting, So going back to 1029 00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:35,760 Speaker 1: the resiliency training, you're retraining your vagal tone by shifting 1030 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,839 Speaker 1: your body. Knowing how to shift your body from fight 1031 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,960 Speaker 1: or flight into your parasympathetic, which is your rest and 1032 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,280 Speaker 1: digest So when you're in your rest and digest mode, 1033 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,839 Speaker 1: this is your This is when you're priming your vagel 1034 00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 1: tone to be optimal. Your digestion is on point, your 1035 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,360 Speaker 1: energy is on point. You eat when you're hungry, you 1036 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,280 Speaker 1: stop eating when you're full. Right, you can recognize anxious 1037 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,400 Speaker 1: th thoughts, and you can come back into the present moment. 1038 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,560 Speaker 1: It really is our body functions at its best. But 1039 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,520 Speaker 1: again you have to understand, like when am I living 1040 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 1: out of alignment and too far over here for too long? 1041 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 1: I'll stay there when it feels good. When I need 1042 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,400 Speaker 1: to be productive and on overdrive, maybe giving a presentation 1043 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:14,239 Speaker 1: then know how to calm back. 1044 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, when you said sound frequencies, it really reminded me 1045 00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,440 Speaker 2: of I tried so many different meditations as I was 1046 00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:24,400 Speaker 2: coming into the practice, and I found chanting and the 1047 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:28,840 Speaker 2: practice of montra meditation was the most encapsulating one like 1048 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,800 Speaker 2: the one that attracted me and took over my senses 1049 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,120 Speaker 2: more than anything else did. And I was thinking this 1050 00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,200 Speaker 2: morning when I was doing my practice, I've started this 1051 00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,720 Speaker 2: hibit every time I get distracted or my waivers anywhere 1052 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,680 Speaker 2: with the mantra I put my hand on my chest 1053 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,120 Speaker 2: and I feel the vibration and my body of the 1054 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:48,880 Speaker 2: of the mantra that I'm chanting. 1055 00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,560 Speaker 3: And it completely takes me back into my body. 1056 00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,759 Speaker 2: Like that feeling of the sound vibration where I feel 1057 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,800 Speaker 2: it in my heart and I feel it through my body. 1058 00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,239 Speaker 2: It completely brings me back into the present moment. And 1059 00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,279 Speaker 2: so that's why I always found montra meditation to be 1060 00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,759 Speaker 2: a little bit more useful for me than silent, because one, 1061 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,440 Speaker 2: the mantra carries so much energy that has existed in 1062 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,480 Speaker 2: the world, as has been said over and over again, 1063 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,279 Speaker 2: like words carry so much weight and power. But at 1064 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,520 Speaker 2: the same time, the sound vibration that's going through me, 1065 00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,120 Speaker 2: it's almost like a humming feeling. You're saying the mantra 1066 00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,040 Speaker 2: over and over again, feeling that sound go through you 1067 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 2: over and over again. I've even heard that the different 1068 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,160 Speaker 2: levels that you say it makes the difference. So when 1069 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,680 Speaker 2: I'm chancing it, I'll do a higher pitch, which I 1070 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,879 Speaker 2: feel up here, and then I'll do a lower pitch, 1071 00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,960 Speaker 2: which I feel down and like your body, yeah exactly, yeah, 1072 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,239 Speaker 2: And so it's so beautiful to play with those sound 1073 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,520 Speaker 2: vibrations as you're doing your meditation because it kind of 1074 00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,719 Speaker 2: takes you up to your mind and then down to 1075 00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 2: your feet. 1076 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is something you can do on your own. 1077 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:47,719 Speaker 1: You can do this with your kids. You can do 1078 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:51,479 Speaker 1: this anytime. You can, like gosh, just happy birthday every 1079 00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,200 Speaker 1: single day, which is powerful. Yes, I'll never forget. After 1080 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,440 Speaker 1: I was giving my spiritual name, so you chant the 1081 00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,000 Speaker 1: same mantra over and over and over and over and 1082 00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,040 Speaker 1: over and over and over. And I got up to 1083 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,560 Speaker 1: stand up and I was walking, and in that moment, 1084 00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,200 Speaker 1: I was like, I can't feel my feet. I cannot 1085 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:05,879 Speaker 1: feel my feet on the ground. This is so good. 1086 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:07,799 Speaker 1: Don't lose this, don't lose this. It was just like 1087 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,080 Speaker 1: this incredible light feeling. And again it was free. There 1088 00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,360 Speaker 1: is no psychedelics, there is no plan, medicine or anything needed. 1089 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,319 Speaker 1: It's just something that we need to shed light on. 1090 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 3: What would you say? 1091 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:18,840 Speaker 2: You know, I've actually not made it through any of 1092 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:20,720 Speaker 2: my questions because this has been such a great conversation. 1093 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,319 Speaker 3: But I love it so much. I guess it. 1094 00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:24,880 Speaker 2: You know, for anybody hearing this and they're like, I 1095 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 2: want to start this journey, but I don't even know 1096 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,279 Speaker 2: where to start. What are some of the tips that 1097 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,399 Speaker 2: you give to people to just start off with as 1098 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,239 Speaker 2: a baseline, Let's start with food, because I feel like 1099 00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,640 Speaker 2: foods are places where people formally confuse in lost. Right now, 1100 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,520 Speaker 2: what are some of the things that you recommend people 1101 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:41,040 Speaker 2: incorporate into their life. 1102 00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, So for listeners, I have an incredible program on 1103 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,759 Speaker 1: my website, So go to Monasharma dot com and it's 1104 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:48,600 Speaker 1: the Roots of Healing. So the things that you and 1105 00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:50,880 Speaker 1: I've been talking about today kind of just recaps all 1106 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,960 Speaker 1: of that. Food is such an important piece because I 1107 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,320 Speaker 1: think we need to stop thinking of like just throwing 1108 00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,640 Speaker 1: things down the hatch and expecting her bodies to deal 1109 00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:02,360 Speaker 1: with that fast food. Where do we start with us? So, 1110 00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,960 Speaker 1: food is information for every single cell in your body. 1111 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,359 Speaker 1: So how you fuel your body is everything. And we 1112 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,160 Speaker 1: live in a world where we've been taught to believe 1113 00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 1: that food that comes from boxed packages, you know, with 1114 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 1: these fancy words on the front of the box, healthy, organic, 1115 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,080 Speaker 1: gluten free, keto, paleo. It's like, oh, it must be 1116 00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:24,520 Speaker 1: good for me. But from the diabetic standpoint, it's a 1117 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 1: boxed dead food. There's no information or life force energy there. 1118 00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,759 Speaker 1: So I would say, do an audit. So if Ribby 1119 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,320 Speaker 1: and I were in your kitchen today, what would we 1120 00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,600 Speaker 1: want to see? What would you know? Intuitively, like we 1121 00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,360 Speaker 1: probably would just throw in the trash. 1122 00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, what you hiding? What you hiding? And you'll cover 1123 00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:42,280 Speaker 3: that you don't want us to open. 1124 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,040 Speaker 1: And always say your health, your kitchen is your primary 1125 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:49,880 Speaker 1: source of healthcare. Healthcare starts in your kitchen. So fuel 1126 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 1: it like a medicine cabinet. Right when you go grocery 1127 00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:56,080 Speaker 1: shopping shop the outer perimeter of the store where there 1128 00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:59,160 Speaker 1: are more things from nature, the colorful red blue, purples, 1129 00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,360 Speaker 1: greens that I was talking about that come from nature, 1130 00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,839 Speaker 1: from the earth. Fuel it with that and become an 1131 00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:08,080 Speaker 1: expert at reading labels. Right. Because of this, like you know, 1132 00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:12,120 Speaker 1: revolution of fast processed foods, we need to decipher the 1133 00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:14,520 Speaker 1: foods that are causing us to be sick and imbalanced. 1134 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,480 Speaker 1: We know that these ultra processed foods are linked to 1135 00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:22,440 Speaker 1: diseases amongst adults and children, things like metabolic dysfunction, diabetes, 1136 00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:26,080 Speaker 1: and obesity and even cancer rates are going up. So 1137 00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,400 Speaker 1: control with your dollar and make better decisions right. And 1138 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,600 Speaker 1: it's not to say you've got to go full turkey, 1139 00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,360 Speaker 1: but just opt for more real whole foods from nature 1140 00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:39,440 Speaker 1: foods with no ingredient labels, and they know you're busy. 1141 00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,520 Speaker 1: But now at the grocery store you can get things 1142 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:45,080 Speaker 1: that are pre chopped, pre washed to make things easy 1143 00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,080 Speaker 1: and use your Sundays as a food prep day to 1144 00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,480 Speaker 1: prepare for the week. So chop store them in glass 1145 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,840 Speaker 1: food containers so that they're just grab and go or 1146 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,160 Speaker 1: grab and saute throughout the week and take away the 1147 00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:01,400 Speaker 1: ability to reach for the foods that you know intuitively 1148 00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:02,439 Speaker 1: are making you sick. 1149 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,160 Speaker 2: Planning and prepping is so important, Like I've started doing 1150 00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,000 Speaker 2: that whe whenever I'm making dinner or on the weekend, 1151 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 2: if I have some extra time, one I make sure 1152 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:11,560 Speaker 2: things are chopped so that I know that I have 1153 00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,160 Speaker 2: like veggies, even if I want to dip into a 1154 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,959 Speaker 2: hummus or something like. Instead of going to where there's 1155 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:17,880 Speaker 2: packaged foods, the first thing I know I can go 1156 00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,280 Speaker 2: to is my fridge or my fruit bowl or something. 1157 00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:24,000 Speaker 2: And I've noticed such a difference. I'd rather have food 1158 00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,279 Speaker 2: that I've made the night before then I want from 1159 00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:29,520 Speaker 2: a packet. I'd rather have chop up some fruit and 1160 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,880 Speaker 2: eat it instead of going to pick up a protein 1161 00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,759 Speaker 2: bar or like something that is just you can open 1162 00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:37,879 Speaker 2: up and it's literally been there for like a year 1163 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,960 Speaker 2: on a shelf. But I will say I think it 1164 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,640 Speaker 2: takes a second two or a month or more to 1165 00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,759 Speaker 2: get your body used to having those foods, because if 1166 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,360 Speaker 2: you've been used to it for so long, it shocks you. 1167 00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:52,719 Speaker 2: It is a lot more preparation than you're used to. 1168 00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,160 Speaker 2: And so I think easing into it is one thing, 1169 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,799 Speaker 2: but also giving yourself grace of like, Okay, if right 1170 00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:01,720 Speaker 2: now I am twenty percent whole foods and eighty percent 1171 00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,360 Speaker 2: packaged foods, the aim is to switch that around. 1172 00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:05,880 Speaker 3: The aim is to be at. 1173 00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:08,600 Speaker 2: Twenty percent maybe package foods, eighty percent whole foods. And 1174 00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:12,000 Speaker 2: I love what you said about things with no ingredient labels. Yeah, 1175 00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:13,879 Speaker 2: I never thought of it in that way, but it's 1176 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:15,920 Speaker 2: so true. It's like you shouldn't need to read the 1177 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:17,800 Speaker 2: back of a packet to you know, you can eat. 1178 00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:21,640 Speaker 1: It Apple's spinach, just no ingrediently. Well, that's there, right. 1179 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,719 Speaker 3: And eventually you become more attracted to it. And I 1180 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:24,479 Speaker 3: think that's the point. 1181 00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:28,319 Speaker 2: Like I always remember this, and it's in regards to 1182 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:29,200 Speaker 2: any part of your life. 1183 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:29,600 Speaker 3: My teacher. 1184 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:31,520 Speaker 2: Rather than that, Sammy says a lot, and he says, 1185 00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:34,880 Speaker 2: don't think about what you're taking away, think about what 1186 00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,200 Speaker 2: you're adding in first. So when you start adding in 1187 00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,440 Speaker 2: goodness into your life, in practices, in foods, in rituals, 1188 00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:44,759 Speaker 2: whatever it is, naturally the lower frequency things or the 1189 00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,720 Speaker 2: things that you actually don't shouldn't be having, will slowly 1190 00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:48,399 Speaker 2: fall away and. 1191 00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,000 Speaker 3: You won't even be attracted to them anymore. 1192 00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:50,520 Speaker 1: You got it. 1193 00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,239 Speaker 2: And I remember that even when I was going through 1194 00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,480 Speaker 2: phases of like going out and doing things that I 1195 00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,799 Speaker 2: wasn't good for my body and I started meditating, it 1196 00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:59,840 Speaker 2: was like they were clashing. There were two wells that 1197 00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:03,400 Speaker 2: meant to be together. And so the more I did meditation, 1198 00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,000 Speaker 2: the less I even had the taste or desire to 1199 00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:07,920 Speaker 2: do those things. It was also when I became more 1200 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:12,279 Speaker 2: conscious about plant based eating and my body vibrationally. You know, 1201 00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:16,000 Speaker 2: I was born vegetarian, but even having the food that 1202 00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:19,440 Speaker 2: came from an animal that had been suffering felt uneasy 1203 00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:23,359 Speaker 2: to meet in my body. When I had experienced a 1204 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:27,000 Speaker 2: path of more compassion and love and grace. And so 1205 00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:29,719 Speaker 2: what I realized is, don't think about the things you're 1206 00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,520 Speaker 2: going to cut out, just start introducing more good things 1207 00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,760 Speaker 2: into your diet, and naturally it'll be like I actually 1208 00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:37,600 Speaker 2: don't feel like having that super salty, super fried for 1209 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,400 Speaker 2: everything snack. I actually do want to have a crunchy 1210 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,239 Speaker 2: piece of ceedary. And it sounds so crazy if you 1211 00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:45,200 Speaker 2: haven't experienced it, but I guarantee you, the more your 1212 00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,120 Speaker 2: body experiences the nutrient value of food, the more it's 1213 00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,520 Speaker 2: going to crave that food. It's because we're not used 1214 00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:54,520 Speaker 2: to having that nutrient dense food in our life that 1215 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,600 Speaker 2: we end up going towards the fast fixes, and so 1216 00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:59,239 Speaker 2: your body definitely gets used to it. 1217 00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:02,160 Speaker 1: It's food addic. Yeah, it's such a beautiful story to tell. 1218 00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,640 Speaker 1: I'll never forget at the ashtrom once you go through 1219 00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,560 Speaker 1: this period of just eliminating the foods that are processed 1220 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:09,960 Speaker 1: and highly addictive, which by the way, come from a 1221 00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,800 Speaker 1: factory where a scientist was hired to make them hyper 1222 00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:16,920 Speaker 1: palatable to you, like you literally cannot why do I 1223 00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,360 Speaker 1: need to have it? Right? It's food addiction. It triggers 1224 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,880 Speaker 1: a reward center in your brain. If you simply eliminate 1225 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,160 Speaker 1: it and go through this process, I'll never forget when 1226 00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:28,160 Speaker 1: I could actually taste like sweetness in spinach, Yes, which 1227 00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:31,960 Speaker 1: makes no sense whatsoever, right, But to your point, you 1228 00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,480 Speaker 1: retrain your taste buds and you start to crave those things. 1229 00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,399 Speaker 1: And ultimately what you're doing is you're starting to eat 1230 00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:41,520 Speaker 1: like you love yourself. Right, You're nourishing your body. And 1231 00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:43,880 Speaker 1: this isn't to say that I don't have like the 1232 00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,160 Speaker 1: chocolate cake and go out and the baggy chips here 1233 00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,440 Speaker 1: and there. You know, I'm human, I'm normal, but I 1234 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,719 Speaker 1: know that through my own healing journey. When you bring 1235 00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,080 Speaker 1: your body back into balance, when you're in balance and 1236 00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:56,120 Speaker 1: you're optimized when you go have those kind of you know, fun. 1237 00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,680 Speaker 3: Foods, I guess it's done off that one time done. 1238 00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,040 Speaker 1: I hate you could like, okay, let's get back to 1239 00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,360 Speaker 1: this again today, right, and you feel so much better. 1240 00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,200 Speaker 1: So the elimination process could feel a little bit intense, 1241 00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,719 Speaker 1: but start with that one category before anything else, and 1242 00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:11,600 Speaker 1: with the other big things like if you are suffering 1243 00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:15,719 Speaker 1: from digestive issues, looking at things that like are genetically modified. 1244 00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,480 Speaker 1: So you and I we eat soy as an amazing 1245 00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:20,680 Speaker 1: source of protein, right, but you have to look for 1246 00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:24,960 Speaker 1: organic soy that's not genetically modified. I promise the way 1247 00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,280 Speaker 1: that your body will digest it is completely different. Corn 1248 00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:29,960 Speaker 1: is another one that tends to be a big trigger 1249 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:33,359 Speaker 1: for people, dairy, which ties into the whole dairy industry thing, 1250 00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,719 Speaker 1: which could be a little bit overwhelming. To just make 1251 00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:39,040 Speaker 1: sure you know where your food comes from exactly, because 1252 00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,640 Speaker 1: the other thing from our spiritual teachers is that if 1253 00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,160 Speaker 1: food has energy, think about all of the steps that 1254 00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:46,440 Speaker 1: it's taken for that food to go from where it 1255 00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,799 Speaker 1: was and for some people that's animal based products to 1256 00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:52,879 Speaker 1: getting to the supermarket and then onto your plate, right, 1257 00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,640 Speaker 1: like so many steps and different energy on the way, 1258 00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:59,040 Speaker 1: and chemicals that are used as ripening agents on the way. 1259 00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:01,800 Speaker 1: And if it's in protein, well, how is that animal treated? 1260 00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 1: Did it have a life? Was there fear in its body? Right? 1261 00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:08,279 Speaker 1: You ingest all of that, The hormones that we need 1262 00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,759 Speaker 1: to keep these cows lactating all the time, right, we 1263 00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:15,000 Speaker 1: ingest that. So just be mindful of what you're ingesting. 1264 00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:17,480 Speaker 1: And I wish that we could live in a world 1265 00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:19,800 Speaker 1: where we could just like trust these big food companies, 1266 00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:22,600 Speaker 1: but even things like eggs. I just got a dozen 1267 00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:26,360 Speaker 1: people off of these eggs from this really reputable air 1268 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:30,080 Speaker 1: quote brand who just responded with pride, saying that they 1269 00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:34,360 Speaker 1: feed their hens corn and soy. Right, So while you're 1270 00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,560 Speaker 1: eating that corn and soy that's going into your eggs also, 1271 00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,160 Speaker 1: and you're wondering why you have these inflammatory issues or 1272 00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:43,400 Speaker 1: the eggzema or bloating and stuff like that. You have 1273 00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:46,120 Speaker 1: to become an investigator. And I know for people just 1274 00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,400 Speaker 1: getting started it's going to feel a little bit overwhelming, 1275 00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:52,640 Speaker 1: but start with one, two or three categories. Do your research. 1276 00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:54,640 Speaker 1: I always say you're like my role model because you 1277 00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:57,080 Speaker 1: were so great in the kitchen. I'm the nutritionist that 1278 00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:00,320 Speaker 1: throw I throw things together. Yeah, I just simplify everything. 1279 00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,880 Speaker 1: Being healthy is actually really really quite simple when you 1280 00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:07,240 Speaker 1: avoid over complicating it. And if you really want to, 1281 00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,840 Speaker 1: just like increase the nutrient density of all of your 1282 00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:13,040 Speaker 1: food no matter what you're eating. Look at your herbs 1283 00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:17,960 Speaker 1: and your spices as nature's anti inflammatories. Your spice cabinet 1284 00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:21,120 Speaker 1: should literally be your medicine cabinet. Yeah, and cook with 1285 00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,160 Speaker 1: more of those every single day. Make it a priority. 1286 00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:25,600 Speaker 1: Put them out on your counter every single day, grow 1287 00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:27,320 Speaker 1: them yourself if you can even better. 1288 00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:31,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, And so basically what you've said is eat more 1289 00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:35,520 Speaker 2: whole foods, strip things back and have more spices and herbs, 1290 00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:37,960 Speaker 2: and I feel like those are very manageable things totally. 1291 00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,720 Speaker 1: Maybe a great analogy is, however, your great grandmother would 1292 00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,320 Speaker 1: have eaten eat more like her exactly. It goes for 1293 00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:44,840 Speaker 1: all of us. 1294 00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:49,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, my grandmother definitely eats like that, and you still 1295 00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:50,880 Speaker 2: don't even know. She could probably count on her hands 1296 00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,160 Speaker 2: how many times she's eaten out right at a restaurant 1297 00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,800 Speaker 2: or anything like, she just doesn't. It also reminded me 1298 00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,000 Speaker 2: I've really started thinking of my body. You know, I 1299 00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:02,560 Speaker 2: think so many people go through extreme diets or you know, 1300 00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:04,400 Speaker 2: all the things that you've spoken about. And the thing 1301 00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,320 Speaker 2: that's changed it for me so much, the moment I'm 1302 00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:10,760 Speaker 2: putting things into my body is thinking about my body 1303 00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:14,080 Speaker 2: being a gift from God. And I think, oh, gift 1304 00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:15,920 Speaker 2: from the universe or whatever you want to call it. 1305 00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,439 Speaker 2: If you see your body as a gift, the way 1306 00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,840 Speaker 2: that you interact with your body, you don't see as yours. 1307 00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:23,560 Speaker 2: You see it as something that's been given to you 1308 00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:27,160 Speaker 2: and that's borrowed. And I'm just like, every single time 1309 00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,000 Speaker 2: I think about that, I'm like, oh, I've been given 1310 00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,400 Speaker 2: two legs, two arms, two eyes that can see whatever 1311 00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,160 Speaker 2: we've been given what a gift is. And the only 1312 00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,800 Speaker 2: way I can repay that gift is by treating my 1313 00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:41,520 Speaker 2: body with gratitude, treating my body as if it is 1314 00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,160 Speaker 2: temporary and been given to me, and I'm so grateful 1315 00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:45,880 Speaker 2: for it. And so every single thing that you do, 1316 00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,280 Speaker 2: every single thing you put into your mouth, every single 1317 00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:50,560 Speaker 2: person that you allow in the space of your body, 1318 00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:53,720 Speaker 2: you think about so much more because you're like, is 1319 00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:55,920 Speaker 2: this showing gratitude for the life I've been given? Is 1320 00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:57,600 Speaker 2: this showing gratitude for the fact that I woke up 1321 00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:00,640 Speaker 2: this morning and I'm able to walk, talk, and live life. 1322 01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:04,160 Speaker 2: And so it really shifted my perspective on wanting to 1323 01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:06,720 Speaker 2: see things externally on my body and the shifts and 1324 01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:10,440 Speaker 2: changes that I want to see externally physically versus what 1325 01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:13,560 Speaker 2: I'm actually giving to my body for nourishment, and sometimes 1326 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,400 Speaker 2: it can be two very different things. Wanting to see 1327 01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,920 Speaker 2: things visually sometimes means you have to you know, so interesting, 1328 01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,320 Speaker 2: I kept being told I have to have more protein 1329 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,880 Speaker 2: and more this and more that, and it was fundamentally 1330 01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:29,240 Speaker 2: ruining my gut. Like I was so unhappy, my body 1331 01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:31,480 Speaker 2: was unhappy in the way that I was feeding it, 1332 01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:32,840 Speaker 2: and I was trying to not to listen because I 1333 01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:34,280 Speaker 2: was like, oh, but I have to because I want 1334 01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,560 Speaker 2: to see more muscle mass and I want to see 1335 01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:38,680 Speaker 2: abs and I don't want this on my body and 1336 01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:40,720 Speaker 2: I don't want this. And I made a decision, and 1337 01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:44,720 Speaker 2: funnily enough, going to the usherment over the holidays gave 1338 01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:46,400 Speaker 2: me the perspective that I needed. And I got back and 1339 01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,040 Speaker 2: I was like, I'm not doing this. I'm not eating 1340 01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:50,880 Speaker 2: a protein bar. I'm not eating this. I'm not doing this, 1341 01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,320 Speaker 2: and my gut and my body not only did I 1342 01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:58,480 Speaker 2: see actually more changes physically exactly my whole body shifted 1343 01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:01,160 Speaker 2: in how happy I actually was and how I was 1344 01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:03,560 Speaker 2: feeling it was actually doing I was actually listening to 1345 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,120 Speaker 2: what my body needed versus what other people were telling me. 1346 01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:09,520 Speaker 2: And a's me who also someone knows the fundamentals of 1347 01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:10,840 Speaker 2: I should be listening to my body. 1348 01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:11,840 Speaker 3: And I still got swayed. 1349 01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,000 Speaker 2: And so it's such an interesting world that we live 1350 01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,440 Speaker 2: in where we can get just shifted in mindset so easily. 1351 01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,360 Speaker 1: This is my constant work. I'm so tempted. I work 1352 01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,840 Speaker 1: with so many incredible doctors who are doing these exciting, 1353 01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,560 Speaker 1: incredible things, and these educators that are coming on my 1354 01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:27,800 Speaker 1: podcast talking about these great things. Now I should try 1355 01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,600 Speaker 1: this too, or should try it like oh this insane 1356 01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:33,800 Speaker 1: protein amount every single day? But does it feel good 1357 01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,320 Speaker 1: for you? Just because it's good for somebody else doesn't 1358 01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:38,360 Speaker 1: mean it's really good for you. And I love what 1359 01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:40,320 Speaker 1: you brought up because I think that if like the 1360 01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:43,080 Speaker 1: biggest takeaway I could give any of my clients, If 1361 01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:48,360 Speaker 1: you can make your healing journey your greatest spiritual journey ever, 1362 01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:52,680 Speaker 1: a lot of your issues with will dissipate. The urges 1363 01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:54,160 Speaker 1: that you have to go and be a certain way 1364 01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:56,280 Speaker 1: because you want to get to a certain macro level 1365 01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:58,880 Speaker 1: or number on the scale. Like it dissipates and you 1366 01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:01,480 Speaker 1: shift from that feeling of like do do do doo 1367 01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:03,840 Speaker 1: doo too? How do I want to be in my body? 1368 01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:07,000 Speaker 1: And if I could just feel really good in my body, 1369 01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:10,160 Speaker 1: my choices will align. I'm turning down the noise on 1370 01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,760 Speaker 1: what everyone else thinks that I should be doing, and 1371 01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:14,520 Speaker 1: I'm coming into my own wisdom of what I know 1372 01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:17,919 Speaker 1: to be true and what I know to feel good. So, yeah, 1373 01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:19,680 Speaker 1: is there a time and a place, you know? How 1374 01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,000 Speaker 1: I work with people like once a year, twice a year, 1375 01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:26,400 Speaker 1: go understand your physiology. Understand your biology, Go do a 1376 01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:29,040 Speaker 1: full panel blood lab, find a doctor who is your 1377 01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:32,840 Speaker 1: partner in healing. Hey, maybe you do a stress test, 1378 01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:36,200 Speaker 1: Maybe do a Dutch test to understand your hormones. You know, 1379 01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:38,880 Speaker 1: DNA test is really great. It helps us really understand 1380 01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:42,200 Speaker 1: your constitution. Maybe you're doing a stool test, which is 1381 01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:45,920 Speaker 1: like so informational because there's so much information for your healing. 1382 01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:49,560 Speaker 1: And then on the other side, really do that inner work. 1383 01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:51,919 Speaker 1: And I think ultimately what we're talking about is coming 1384 01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:55,000 Speaker 1: into your own consciousness. Right if you're so conscious of 1385 01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:56,440 Speaker 1: who you are and how you want to be in 1386 01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:59,280 Speaker 1: this world and how you want to feel, with practice 1387 01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:03,240 Speaker 1: and with coaching and some guidance, aligning key rituals in 1388 01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:05,360 Speaker 1: your life every single day that are going to align that. 1389 01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:08,320 Speaker 1: I really do think that, like habits come and go. 1390 01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:10,800 Speaker 1: We always try these new things on and a new habit, 1391 01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:12,720 Speaker 1: and they come, they go, they come, they go. But 1392 01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,160 Speaker 1: when you find a ritual that feels really really good, 1393 01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:17,800 Speaker 1: so you with your mantra meditation, me with my warning 1394 01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:22,520 Speaker 1: visualization and meditation, it becomes me like I don't forget it. 1395 01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:24,600 Speaker 1: That would be like forgetting to brush my teeth before 1396 01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:27,280 Speaker 1: I leave the house. So for someone else, that could 1397 01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,800 Speaker 1: be journaling, it could be walking outside, it could be 1398 01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,480 Speaker 1: going for a run, It could be so many different things. 1399 01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:36,240 Speaker 1: What's your thing that's going to align you with your 1400 01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:39,600 Speaker 1: consciousness and stay on that spiritual path of like just 1401 01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:43,240 Speaker 1: getting to know who you were? I think I don't 1402 01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:45,040 Speaker 1: know about you, but growing up was always you know, 1403 01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,720 Speaker 1: trying to fit in, trying to be better, be like 1404 01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:50,960 Speaker 1: someone else, and even at the Ashram, the spiritual kind 1405 01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,400 Speaker 1: of knowledge of like trying to become one with God 1406 01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:55,760 Speaker 1: or become one with consciousness. And I'm lifting my hand 1407 01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,600 Speaker 1: up outside of myself, like it's something outside of me 1408 01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,720 Speaker 1: that I'm trying to get to instead of recognizing that 1409 01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:05,040 Speaker 1: everything is within. And when you get to that point, 1410 01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,320 Speaker 1: then you're like, oh, I get one shot at the 1411 01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:09,880 Speaker 1: same called life. My dad would always say, your body 1412 01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:12,040 Speaker 1: is just a vessel. Yeah, how are you going to 1413 01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:14,960 Speaker 1: treat this vessel in this lifetime? And then it just 1414 01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:18,240 Speaker 1: shifts our perspective from healing like being on a diet 1415 01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:21,480 Speaker 1: or a protocol, into no, the diet is actually the 1416 01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:26,200 Speaker 1: unhealthy process, highly addictive food, that's an unhealthy diet. There 1417 01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,240 Speaker 1: is no diet, and just eating like you love yourself 1418 01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:31,760 Speaker 1: and eating whole foods from nutrition. That's just wholesome, nourishing foods. Right, 1419 01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:33,440 Speaker 1: there's no diet, it's just eating. 1420 01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:35,400 Speaker 3: I honestly have so. 1421 01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,160 Speaker 2: Many more questions, but I actually think we might have 1422 01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:39,720 Speaker 2: to have you on another time so that people can 1423 01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:42,080 Speaker 2: really digest this information, because I think what we've already 1424 01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:47,160 Speaker 2: covered has been so impactful, so simple, yet so needed 1425 01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:51,320 Speaker 2: and necessary, and I think just letting people appreciate what 1426 01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:54,360 Speaker 2: we've given them this far, I think will be formal 1427 01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:57,160 Speaker 2: beneficial than me going into some detailed questions. So I 1428 01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:00,000 Speaker 2: feel like we definitely have to have you on against. 1429 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:01,680 Speaker 3: I can ask the other how many cars do I 1430 01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:05,560 Speaker 3: have left? One, two, three, four? I basically made it 1431 01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:08,280 Speaker 3: through the first card, so we definitely have to have 1432 01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:08,800 Speaker 3: you on again. 1433 01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:10,880 Speaker 2: But I honestly think what we've covered has just been 1434 01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:14,200 Speaker 2: so useful, and you've are so eloquent and just I 1435 01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,720 Speaker 2: feel like your energy can not many people's energy can 1436 01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:20,600 Speaker 2: be felt through a microphone, but I definitely feel yours can. 1437 01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:25,000 Speaker 3: So thank you so much.
