So the big question is this, how do young men like us, who didn't listen to society,
who are on our own, how do we grow and improve ourselves so that we can live a better tomorrow?
That is the question and this show will give you the answers.
My name is James Radzinski and welcome to the Ascend Momentum Show.
Welcome back everyone. All right, we got a few things. First, a couple weeks ago,
I discovered this thing called the gateway process and I experienced, I practiced my first
meditation using the gateway process last night and my second one this morning. So I bought the
Wave 1 packet which is three discs and six recordings and so far I did the first two
recordings. So I've only completed the first two discs or the first disc actually.
And the first recording on that disc I did and I was able to do it all.
And it was about getting into focus three which is just like unified brain and mind.
And I feel as though I was able to get into that. And then the second recording I did this morning
but unfortunately I was not able to get into focus 10 but it is okay because that was only my first
it was my first attempt at it basically. And I've heard that it takes, you probably won't get a first
try and I'm definitely looking forward to it because I'm learning a lot about it and there's
this one of the exercises that we do before we even start trying to get into focus 10 is called
your energy conversion box. I'm pretty sure it's called and it's basically a box that is like in
your brain. So you imagine a box for me like it can be any form it could be like a box it could be
a chest it could be anything. And for me what I'm most comfortable with since I used to play a lot
of Minecraft I am using a chest as my box. And so basically what you do is you visualize the box
and then you like place all of your worries anxieties fears all of your material like material
things inside of the box. And also what you can do is you can place your expectations in the box
and what I do is I place my impatience in the box. And what that allows me to do is it basically
is a mindset shift every single time I catch myself like becoming impatient I remind myself
that I put impatience in the box. And it's like it's so much better I found than not putting it
in the box because I'm able to catch myself like every single time right away when I'm impatient.
It's this weird like Q that happens in my mind. So that's a very valuable exercise that I have
discovered in the gateway process. And honestly I might start doing it throughout the day.
And then another thing is I'm pretty sure it's called resonant tuning where it's basically
you breathe in with your eyes open and you imagine all of the energy flowing up your body
and then into your brain and you hold your breath and like swish it around your brain
and then you close your eyes open your mouth and do like the I forgot what it was called but
you know how in meditation some like this classical meditation is like oh
oh like that thing. I know like I've heard that word before I forgot what it was called though
I'm just blanking on the name of what it's called but it's that and you basically once you exhale
you like go oh like and on the recording they actually play like that those noises and so you
can like align you can like synchronize your tone and become into the like unify the tones.
I don't even know there's like this you know how when two people are singing the same tone
they're oh in harmony you can harmonize with it. So that's pretty much that and
that exercise like even just practicing that I just discovered this or last night that you're
actually supposed to use that. I'm pretty sure it's like the where you go oh you're supposed to
actually use that during that exercise and also you breathe in and then breathe out with that like
oh I'm sorry I don't remember what it's called. I wish I could like not say oh every time but
you basically breathe in and then out and then you breathe normal and then like a couple
seconds later maybe like 10 seconds later you're supposed to do it again and so that's like before
I was breathing in out in out like I was constantly flowing my energy in and out which may or may
not be good I don't know but I found that over the past like week or so when I first discovered this
like breathing or not breathing but first discovered this like deep meditation I've been
practicing that resonant tuning where you like flow the energy and feel all the energy go throughout
your body and so I've gotten a decent amount of practice with that and last night was the first
time I actually did it with the hemi sync which is basically just the noise that they play to
unify your your left side and the right side of the mind and I am able to actually like feel my
energy throughout the day now like I have to like look for it like I don't just feel it naturally I
still have to like like focus on my hands so I'm able to like right now I can feel my hands
and I can feel the energy flowing through my hands and I actually have started doing that like
throughout the day where whenever I'm like walking the halls or doing something I always just focus
my attention on my energy in my hands and I kind of just like feel the energy in my hands flowing
through it and that's like a cool thing to do to just keep you mindful keep you grounded plus
you can remind you like you can remember the energy and give your energy your attention to
increase your energy as well but there's also another thing that I learned so I'm not sure if I
actually learned this I'm okay I'm pretty sure I originally discovered this in Transurfing the
book Reality Transurfing and it's basically for context there is a exercise that you can do
that I learned in Transurfing where you basically activate your fountains that's what it's called
like that's what I like to call it and all you do is imagine like two lines like two tunnels
of energy flowing up and down your spine and then up into the sky and down into the floor
and then you imagine them making a fountain shape so you know like a fountain that you would see
where the water shoots up into the sky and it disperses in all directions that is basically
energy so you imagine your energy flowing up your body all the way up into the sky and then
it like disperses into a fountain and then you imagine your the other stream go down your body
down into the ground and then disperses in an opposite fountain and then they both like both
the fountains connect in the center like center area of your body and so you're basically surrounded
by a sphere of energy and that uh that exercise I do fairly often and there's also this other thing
that I'm pretty sure Vadim Zan talked about it later on in his book where it's basically if you want
to like this I don't know if he was doing it for an experiment or did it just to test it out but
it's basically you activate your fountain and then you imagine that sphere of energy and
energy and larging so much to where it like engulfs all of your surroundings and like the people
around you so if you're near people like let's say you're talking in a group and you're just like
all in a circle fairly close together and then you turn on you activate your fountains and then
imagine your your sphere of energy expanding to engulf the entire group inside of it and then
I'm pretty sure he that was it but maybe he said to pop it but I definitely I don't know where I
learned it it was either from Vadim Zan on reality Transurfing or from the Hemi-Sync on the gateway
process but there's this exercise that I did today in the at school where I would basically
we're all sitting in the auditorium and so I would just imagine my fountains I'd activate my
fountains and then imagine my sphere of energy and larging so much and then I would pop it and
then all of that energy would just flow on everyone else and I did that a few times and then
the last time I did it I imagined it getting so big that it like took up the entire auditorium
and now I'm at the moment I didn't really know if it did anything because what Vadim Zan said is
people kind of subconsciously treat you better and they'll like sense your power
and so I didn't really notice anything and then I left because it was a half day today for everyone
because we had like an in-school field trip where all of the seniors were in the auditorium
and so we everyone was leaving and I was walking out to my bike and I was at my bike
and on my way out like this a bunch of people were saying hi to me like a lot of the people
usually say hi to me but this time just felt different and I had forgotten about the fact
that I had my like I was just enveloping engulfing everyone in energy so I'd forgotten about that
I was just like oh people are just extra friendly today and then once I got to my bike like this one
guy which who I'm I usually say hi to that was no surprise that he said hi to me but he was walking
next to someone he was walking with someone who I didn't really know and we never really said hi
to each other but I knew his name and he knew my name and a lot of times I would see the two
walking together and I'd only say hi to the one that actually said hi to me today and then the other
would never say hi to me and I'd never say hi to him but today was different both of them said hi
like first the first person said hi and then the second person said hi and and then I said hi back
and like I was like oh wow and then this one girl like walking behind them a little ways behind them
said hi to me and smiled and I was like wow like people are way more friendly than usual
and then when I got on my bike and started leaving like two more people were saying hi
and when I was like so I was like wow that's awesome and I actually got on my bike and I had a flat
tire like my bike popped or the tire popped so I had to walk it all the way home which was like a
two mile walk which I was like I'm following the principle of coordinating intentions so I like
didn't get mad at it I was actually like oh nice now I get to walk like I I had a genuine grateful
attitude of the fact that my bike tire popped because that's the coordinating intention principle
basically every time you come across an event when any time an event happens you're at a crossroads
you can either take a negative path or a positive path and the way you choose is your relationship
to that event so when my bike tire popped I could either take a negative path or a positive path
and the way I chose was by interpreting it as a positive of the fact that I got to walk home
and so I was walking home and literally every single person that I walked by like said hi to me and
like was very excited like happy to see me so this stuff actually works like usually people
say hi to me but not at this rate like a lot of times people just walk past and so that was awesome
and that is definitely something that I'm gonna continue doing the energy exercises because
on a subconscious level they're basically feeding off of the energy that you're overflowing and
they're like thanking you for it because they like no one gives out free energy unless you're like
overflowing with it and so that's basically what and it's better like I'm getting more benefit off
of them consuming that extra energy from me than keeping it myself because that's basically what
Vadim's on said and I agree because basically they're gonna treat me better so I'm actually gonna be
on a better lifelines and also like that energy would have just gone to waste it would just dispersed
or return back to the cosmos I don't know what energy does when it's like flowed through
but that's pretty much like that story about the energy and another thing I wanted to touch on is
the importance of being of presence like your presence and your focus levels so for context I
had been meditating for maybe one or two years I don't know how long like maybe I started in like
sophomore or junior year I don't know I'm in the beginning of senior year right now but
I had been meditating at the gym after that I would like a year ago I would meditate after the gym
at the gym and so I kind of tied my meditation to the gym and didn't meditate elsewhere
and so as a result I was pretty fairly consistent I'm meditating but there was many days where I missed
and also the meditation was not deep it was like just like a three minute meditation and since I
was in the middle of the gym there was a lot of distractions so it probably wasn't the greatest
kind of environment to meditate in but at least I did it and then I kind of stopped meditating until
I saw a hamsa video when back when I was watching YouTube and in that video he talked about the
importance of his focus like it was like an hour and a half long video and he was recording it
unedited and he was in the zone like right off the bat the entire video and he never lost his
focus once even though there was distractions like there was someone knocking on the door
at his house and he definitely knew and he was still in the zone he did not lose focus
and so I realized like wow that is focus is so important and meditation is so important
because that's how you get focus and he would like meditation allows you to get into the zone
way easy way easier and more common and for longer and so he was basically teaching the
importance of meditating and he said that meditating like don't meditate or I mean do meditate but
he basically said the only way you're going to become consistent at meditating is to add it to
your morning routine and that was my issue I wasn't consistent at meditating because I connected it
to the gym but if I just connected if I add it to my morning routine then I'm basically going to
do it every single day with no fail and that's what I've done actually I've been meditating
consistently every single day for the past like two months maybe two or three months and that is like
in like a couple weeks in I was thinking okay when am I going to get the focus level that he has
but I remember him saying that he's been meditating every single day for like I don't know what number
he said but for simplistic sake let's just say he's been meditating every single day for a year
and so I had been meditating for a few weeks at that point and I was like when am I going to get
his focus level and then I kind of just forgot about it and then just locked in and just meditated
every day and I didn't realize like the benefits that I got like I didn't actually see it until
today now for context again today I we were all the seniors were in the auditorium and so I was
sitting with a few of my friends and none of my friends meditate that's the context and they're
out like they all go on their phones well none of my school friends meditate basically and they're
all on their phones a lot but that's context so one would assume that their mind is like scattered
but this was not on the top of my head and I was like I was sitting in the auditorium and my focus
was immense like I was just extremely locked I was locked into the speaker and I was focused and then
halfway through I noticed that my friend was like restless the entire time like he was like moving
around a lot and it made me think like wow I'm like my mind is I've actually made a lot of progress
because I would have been restless a couple months ago and I would have not been able to keep my
focus for this long a couple months ago but now I can actually I'm actually like extremely focused
now and I'm not where I want to be yet but I'm definitely making progress and today was a very
good like refresher and maybe you guys will be able to see like in my episodes like towards the
beginning of the like the first few episodes I'm sure I was not very focused and I actually remember
one of the episodes a couple weeks ago I actually I think it was my worst episode yet and I had so
low energy and I was basically like yawning the whole time and I didn't know what to say
and I'm pretty sure if you looked back on that episode now I don't remember exactly what episode
it was but if you were to look back on that episode you'd be able to tell like the difference of my
focus levels and one of the things that I was doing during that episode I was literally surfing the
web I was like looking things up I think that episode I was looking up like places to stay in
Hawaii like that is like that is so bad for your focus and after that episode I realized like that
is one of the biggest reasons why I was that was such a bad episode because I was literally like
looking things up and I'm pretty sure I did it again in the following few episodes and so one
day I like decided not to look anything up not to use my computer at all and now I basically just
stare at a fan or stare at something because my computer is on the whole time like back in my
early episodes I was using a voice recorder which is not connected to the computer it was just like
a mobile like voice recorder and so I just recorded on that and I turned off my monitor
of my computer so I wouldn't get distracted but now my computer is on because I'm record I have a
microphone that's connected to my PC so I'm actually like recording through my computer so it's on
with the recording software pulled up and so it's like it is stuff to look at like every once in a
while I peek at like how much time has been left like how much time has been spent and how much time
is left and I'm sure that definitely like reduces my focus and reduces my flow and I'm actually
starting to become I actually just now became conscious of that while I'm saying that that I'm
I'm pretty sure checking the time reduces like lowers my flow but now like basically what I like to
do is I just stare at something like or I just look in like a general direction and not look at
anything particular like right now I'm I always record in my basement and so right now I'm basically
just looking in the direction of like the stairs and my dad's desk and like this fan but I'm not
really noting anything particular I'm just looking in that direction and just focusing entirely on
like speaking and what I'm saying and that is basically what I saw Hamza doing a couple months
ago when I saw that video before I had even gotten into consistent meditation and he was
basically he was just talking like he was in the zone and nothing broke his own he was in the zone
for like an hour and a half and he had actually said that that was like the sixth video he recorded
or something like that like he had recorded like four videos already all like hour long videos
and so the fact that he was able to stay in the zone for like four hours straight
looking back on it that's really inspiring because I'm probably not even at one hour straight yet
like I'm I'm not able to like fully stay in the zone and fully like only talk like there's a lot of
times like throughout my episodes I'm always like saying let me get some water real quick because
one my throat is like dry like right now my throat is starting to get dry so I'm probably
going to get some water anyways but two a lot of the times I use that as a like a crutch kind of
for a few to buy a few seconds to think about something like think of something to say and
usually that is just enough to come up with something to start talking and that's basically
like where I'm at so I think that I've been in the zone for like the past 20 minutes maybe but I'm
I'm starting to lose focus and so meditation is extremely beneficial for that and now that I've
done the hemisync like like okay the gateway process the gateway experience those waves like
they're they made those tapes because they made them specifically to allow you to get into deeper
meditation that you wouldn't have been able to get otherwise so quickly like you would have been
able to get in that meditation but it would have taken years of practice and these tapes basically
play noises in your brain like they're there it's hemisync so they basically play like two different
sounds one sound in the right side and then one sound in the left ear and they combine it so like
they're playing these sounds at the same time and it produces like a third noise basically because
it's like I don't even know how it works but it's basically you're hearing a noise in your left ear
and then a different noise in your right ear and then that as a result produces like a third noise
I don't even know how it works but basically it unifies your brain like there was a picture
on the the guidebook that they like added that that they had in the in the wave one packet with
the three CDs in it and there's a picture on the guidebook where it was basically like a brain scan
and there was one brain scan with no hemisync and a brain scan with hemisync and basically
the no hemisync was kind of just like the normal brain it was like it showed like they had colors
to represent like your wavelengths and so it was kind of like scattered the brain was kind of like
unorganized but then with hemisync the brain was like organized and it was like uniform and it was
united it was all like the left side and the right side were united and I could definitely tell something
was up last night and this morning like the first time I got into hemisync I don't know if it was
placebo or like just that pure excitement but I definitely felt something like my focus was
definitely enhanced with this hemisync and so I've only done two sessions of it and I've heard
like great things from people practicing it consistently over time because right now since I
have never done hemisync before and I've never really meditated consistently for too long my
brain is not united like my left side and the right side of my mind are not united but hemisync
will work towards uniting it like the more I practice this with this hemisync technology
it will like unify my left and right side of my brain and I'll just become more of an optimal
human being and there's this metaphor that I was using over the past two episodes where
basically if you tried to bike so imagine a bicycle has two wheels imagine if one wheel
was tilted to the left and then the other the front wheel was tilted to the right like that
just wouldn't work but that's basically what happens that's basically our minds right now
because they're not united especially with like the advent of social media and the internet and
all this information that's at our fingertips our minds are like divided but with the hemisync and
also you can just do this with like normal meditation or just like mindfulness I'm pretty sure
you can do this but hemisync is like the most effective way and the most time efficient way
to train and like to realign your two wheels like realign the front and the back tires of
your bicycle and this metaphor I'm using a bicycle as a brain so it's basically hemisync is realigning
your brain to how it should work properly and so right now I'm 17 I'm almost 18 well actually no I
am 18 as of the time you guys will hear this but as of recording I'm not 18 but I basically
I've lived 17 years of my life with a broken bicycle basically my bike was tilted the wheels were
tilted in opposite directions so if I've lived 17 years of my life with a broken bicycle and I've
gone gotten this far imagine how far I'll get once I like unify my bicycle and actually make it
working optimally and effectively so that's basically like where I'm at right now and I find
that hemisync is a huge like it'll actually help train that a lot let me get some water
all right so there is this one thing that I was talking about
or there's this one thing I wanted to talk about which to be honest I had completely just forgotten
what it was I just slipped my mind but I'm kind of just hoping it comes to me and there's while
I'm talking about or while I'm waiting for it to come back I actually just remembered this huge
like this really important exercise that actually relates to what I need right now and in the
hemisync packet and also in the first CD they talked about this or it was either the first or the
second CD but basically if in like waking consciousness like throughout the day if you need to remember
something place all of your fingers of your right hand on your forehead and try and remember
try and like and then anything that you like desire to remember will come to you and they
said like the more you use this like the more practice you have with this the more effective and
the more often and the quicker the results will be so I have not I haven't reminded myself of
what I was about to talk about but that's basically wait I feel it on the tip of my tongue
I don't know but that's basically like the exercise that they talked about that may or may not
work but I'm gonna test it out over the following days and once I like get good at it hopefully
I'll be able to use it very well but that hemisync I'm really like looking forward to it and it
actually took like one or two weeks it almost took a week to get here and so I'm thinking maybe I
should just go ahead and buy wave two if it's just gonna take a week because then by the time wave
two gets here I'll pretty much be ready to move on or else if I just waited until I was ready to
move on I'd have to wait like a whole another week but then again it wouldn't be too bad because
I'd be able to get a lot more practice with wave one because wave one is all about focus 10 and I
haven't even achieved focus 10 yet and then wave two is about focus 12 and you had to get into focus
10 to be able to get into focus 12 so that's basically that but there's this one thing that
I was thinking of it is extremely like the the trait or the ability to throw out your worldview
is so great that's what I learned in Transurfing to be able to throw out my worldview because
if I wasn't able to throw out my worldview I would not have even believed this gateway process stuff
because this gateway process is like just out of my worldview but it's starting to become
incorporated into it if I were to have learned about this gateway process one year ago I thought I
would have just thought oh this is like some weird mystical stuff and it's like probably not true
but now I definitely know that it's true and I'm just walking forward to achieving the goal
and I'm like if this thing that I was trying to remember to talk about is on the tip of my
tongue but I just lost it so I remembered to get it once I grabbed my water bottle a couple minutes
go and then I lost it when I was drinking the water so I'm gonna try and recreate that process so
let me get some water
nope it didn't come back but I did think of this one thing while I was doing that and
expectations so this is one of the things that if you impose your expectations on like these
practices or on other people then that is like negative and that's bad because if you impose
your expectations on all right actually let me start with this the gateway process like all
these meditations is it's it will negatively affect you if you have expectations towards
achieving certain results with the gateway process like if you have expectations to have
a certain experience they say just drop your expectations and just allow whatever experience
you have and just accept the fact that whatever experience you experience was your experience
and it was supposed to happen as is and don't try and like manipulate anything just let it happen
and that's I think that I when I was doing that water bottle a couple moments ago I had an expectation
that I was gonna recall that that thing that I was trying to talk about but I didn't or I did have an
expectation and I wasn't able to recall it so drop the expectation but I'm pretty sure that I remember
hearing like my friend said that Vadim Zellin said that you're you should have expectations for
things to improve in the future like for your life to improve excuse me so that is probably I don't
know I'll have to get into that but the reality Transurfing book that book is definitely like it
has everything and I was just like thinking about this it's got everything in it like that book has
a lot of the principles from expert secrets it's got a lot of the principles from Dale Carnegie's
how to win friends and influence others it's got a lot of the principles from David Dieders the way
the spirit man and it's got much much more like that book has like five different books combined
in it well yeah it is five books combined of five of Vadim Zellin's books like of Transurfing one
Transurfing two three four five but it's got like the content of like five completely different
books like how to win friends and David like the way the spirit man and expert secrets are arguably
completely different books even though they all have a common like they all have common principle
amongst them all and that is Transurfing and just reading it this morning I'm extremely grateful that
I have this book and I learned about this book because it was like the way I discovered it I
really just shouldn't have learned it like the circumstances of me having discovered that book
the odds were extremely low for me to have actually gone through with buying the book
and actually thinking about it because at the time I was watching a lot of YouTube shorts and
I was seeing a lot of book recommendations that I would just like swipe by but this one particular
video it was just like a dude that like asked Iman Gazi if he had any like what he's studying right
now and then Iman Gazi just said like Trans Reality Transurfing and then that was the video that's it
and then like I was like destined or not destined but I was like on any other video like that I
would have just swiped by but for some reason I actually like looked up that book and actually
like bought it even though it was like $60 so I bought it and then I actually read it which was
crazy because at the time the longest book I'd ever read was probably like 250 pages and I
thought that was a long book and this book was three times that it was 750 pages long and
I didn't even read it all the way through the first time I got like 200 pages in and then switched
books and then I read it all back after that but but I read it very quickly and like this time I
started reading it like a long time ago I think it was like August 1st or July maybe July 1st or
August 1st I don't know and well actually no I started studying on the first which was probably
August 1st so it's been like a month and a half since I started studying and the first page that I
started studying was 63 so I'd probably read for a few days before that so it's been like a month
and a half of just reading only Transurfing every single day and towards like in the first half
of the book I would read like no for the first like quarter I was reading like three pages a day
maybe maybe two pages a day and then I started to ramp things up once I realized that funnel hacking
live was around the corner and I wanted to finish Transurfing before that so that I can switch to the
linchpin during funnel hacking live so I like calculated the amount of pages I had to read
every single day if I wanted to be done by funnel hacking live and it was like 15 and then now if I
calculated it again I think it's probably around 20 so I got I basically am trying to finish it
before I'm trying to finish it in like 12 days and I'm on like page 550 yeah 550 and there so I
basically have 200 pages left wait is that right because I remember this morning saying 250 I don't
know let's just say 250 pages left divided by 12 that's probably like 18 around there so I think
I'm on the right track but that's pretty much where I'm at with that and I'm definitely gonna be maintaining
my my meditations because I'm my goal well I'm not gonna create a goal right now but my ideal plan
that my brain is making right now is to be able to get focus at least focus 10 by the time funnel
hacking live comes around so I want to be able to get focus 10 in like before like within 12 days
and be able to get it consistently excuse me I want to be able to get focus 10 which is the first
level of deep meditation well focus 3 is technically but the first like level that is basically where
your it's mind awake body asleep it's basically where your body is asleep like during the night
time your body is asleep it's like paralyzed um but if you were to just if your mind was awake
then that would be you'd be in the focus 10 state so it's basically when your body is paralyzed but
your mind is wide awake and I want to do that on the plane ride to Florida and on the way home
because I'm gonna bring my CD player and headphones with me on my carry on and meditate on the way
there and then read the linchpin as well afterwards and I think that would be a great way to kind of
like use the plane ride because I'll basically be able oh that would be insane I just thought of
this one thing so there's this thing called an out-of-body experience it's real by the way
and a couple months ago I did not think it was real but now I know it's real and I'm gonna
I'm practicing to actually build a cheap one but that's not really my goal right now but it's like my
my longer term goal with meditation to be able to achieve out-of-body experience at will like
people are able to get out-of-body experiences like consistently whenever they want through meditation
and I just thought of something because when you have an out-of-body experience your soul your
soul basically like leaves your body and then you can like fly around the world and so I just
imagined what it would be like to have an out-of-body experience in a plane so while you're flying
have an out-of-body experience I don't even know how that would work because you're moving in the air
so if you just have your out-of-body experience like right there then when you leave your body
will you just instantly fly behind like all right so since you're moving
well and you leave your body will you stay in the plane or will you like
get pushed out of the plane because you're still and the plane is moving I don't know if I'm
explaining this right so imagine you're in a plane and the reason why you're moving you're
still like you're moving hundreds of miles per hour on the plane because you're like
grounded to it and you're kind of like attached to it so imagine what would happen if you were like
you just turned into a ghost do you think that you would stay in the plane or would you
like stay in that location like that like location where you're at but since the plane is moving the
plane would just fly straight through you and then you'd stay in that same spot I wonder how that
would work with an out-of-body experience that would be very interesting to experience because
if you could have an out-of-body experience while on a plane ride you could like if you could make
it last the entire plane ride you could just sleep through the whole plane and then fly
with the plane on the side of it the entire ride like four hours or two hours or however long the
plane is the ride is you could just like fly near it that would be so sick but
but I hope that you guys don't get too like weirded out by this because honestly this stuff is
starting to become normal to me like I'm when I first learned about this a couple weeks ago I was
like I was kind of like weird it felt weird but like this stuff is starting to come normal to me
to where I like I'm starting to genuinely believe that it's real and it's just simply takes practice
to be able to get it so I'll get it and with once I get it I'll like tell you guys my stories
and experiences on that but that's another thing that I remember this morning I during my medicine
ball balancing time oh and I also have another thing to say about breathing um so during my
balancing ball balancing 10 minutes every day I do this morning I only did like five minutes because
this every single time I get on my balance was just terrible this morning for some reason I was like
falling off the ball every single time so I just cut it short and just like cut my losses
and but this morning I actually added a new thing to my morning routine which kind of extends my morning
like 20 minutes well actually I added two things so the one thing extends it like 10 minutes but
the other thing extends it like 15 minutes maybe so the first thing I added was I after my shower
before I start cooking food this is at like 4 20 in the morning I after my shower I go outside and
walk around the block and it's just like a 10 minute walk and the reason why I'm doing that is
because for the past couple weeks I've been trying to basically improve my breathing and fix my
breathing because that is one of the biggest health things that I'm not doing and once you fix your
breathing your health will be like way better and your energy levels will be better and your
awareness will be like really good and that is like that's the big reason why I'm really focusing
on this is because the awareness and the awareness is like really good for transurfing as well
and that is basically where I'm at with that and for the past couple weeks I've been trying to do it
but I will like my bolt score I've been tracking it for a decent amount of time I have this sheet
of paper right next to my bed that I just write it down every single morning and the bolt score by
the way is a means of tracking how healthy your breathing is and you want 40 seconds at least
but for me my bolt score is like six seconds this morning and it got up to 19 and then it
went down and that just shows me that I'm not consistent at my breathing and the only way to
come consistent or not the only way but what I've been talking about in my podcast like a lot over
the past couple weeks not like over the a couple weeks ago I was talking about this a lot and I'm
pretty sure there's some episode called like consistency is key or something like that and I
it's because if you want to become consistent just add it to your routine add it to your morning
routine or nighttime routine and that's what I've been doing with my medicine ball balancing with
like breath work through a straw like many different things but the one most important thing
that I needed to improve on my breathing I didn't add to my morning routine so I changed that this
morning and I added a 10 minute walk into my morning routine where I basically walk around my block
at four in the morning it's like pitch blackout but we have I live in like the city so we live we've
got like street lights so I can see but I walk around and I do a nose unblocking exercise whereas
basically you breathe in and out normally and then you on the after the exhale you hold your breath
so you have like no oxygen in your lungs basically you hold your breath and then you just start walking
and however you count the paces my record is like 61 I think I was able to walk 61 paces
and once you have a strong you walk until you have a strong urge to breathe and then you breathe in
through your nose like you only breathe in through your nose and then you try and calm and control
your breathing like instantly right or like right away like don't lose your don't get your breathing
out of control and so I did that this morning mindful mind you my record was 61 steps this morning
my I could only get 30 steps so that just shows that I lost a lot of my progress but now that it's in
my routine I'm as long as I just do this and follow my routine every day I'm basically guaranteed
success and so I what my original intention was to do eight of those eight sets so one set is
just one exercise like 30 steps or 40 however much you can do and my original intention was
to do eight but this morning I could only do seven and that's probably because I walked like my resting
I would walk like one or two minutes to rest my like lungs to like recollect my breath but this
morning I'm probably or tomorrow morning I'm probably gonna try and hit eight by like pushing
myself harder and further by resting a little bit less so that's basically what I'm doing with that
to increase my bolt score and to make my breathing way better let me get some water
so
so I have been eating very healthy for the past couple like pretty much all of 2023
yeah for all of 2023 I've been eating healthy in January I read my first book on diet which
was called the china study and then I was vegan from like January until March pretty much I was
vegan for like three months I think and then I switched back to eating meat um after I read
estro generation and now I'm pretty much I learned a lot more and I learned about seed oils so pretty
much for the past couple of months like for since like the beginning of summer is when I started
cutting out seed oils I've been extremely healthy and my my diet has been very good for the past
couple months and even when I'm on vacation and going and traveling I make sure to maintain my
diet and a lot of times I like to bring my cast iron skillet yeah I use a cast iron because a
non-stick pan is really bad for your health and I use a cast iron skillet and a lot of times I
just bring it with me to vacation or like out of town when I'm going to like my grandma's house
and so when I'm going to funnel hacking live like in by the time this post it'll be in like five
days so I think on okay so on the 26th is when I'm going I'm going from the 26th until the first
so I'm going to be gone for like five days and that's like five days of eating and we made my
friend booked a hotel that is that has a like a kitchen inside of the room which is awesome
and we have a stove like a stove top in the in our hotel room so I'm definitely going to be
bringing my cast iron and cooking like my food in there that's amazing for me but that trip is
gonna be awesome we're me and my friend are basically going to Florida to learn from a dude we've
been studying like pretty much all of summer and I stopped studying him a couple weeks back because
I wanted to I was spreading myself too thin reading trans surfing and expert secrets
so but I've read all of his stuff except for the linchpin
and honestly like he has changed the game for me like I'm very grateful I was talking
my friend about this the other day I'm extremely grateful about finding the right books to read
about entrepreneurship like the first book that I read about entrepreneurship was dot com secrets
well not necessarily entrepreneurship but the first book that I read about business like actual
strategic thinking about business because I read the millionaire fast lane and unscripted
which I wouldn't say is business really I mean it is business actually yeah it is business but
it's not really like it's just like general strategies and but dot com secrets is like
actual tactics and so I that was I'm so grateful that that was the first book that I read about
actual tactics and business tactics because that changed the game for me like I'm so grateful that I
got introduced into business like that and not like old methods that don't work anymore or some
something that everyone is able to do and just thinking about business through the lens of funnels
and value ladder and just all of the things that he teaches it's just so it's so like it's exactly
what I needed to learn and plus expert secrets and traffic secrets really allowed me to learn a lot
and honestly I'm not really applying too much of it like I canceled my click funnel subscription
and I haven't had a click funnel subscription for like at least a month now and that's just because
I don't want to pay money because I'm not using it yet but definitely I foresee in the near future
I'm gonna get click funnels again and actually start like legitimately running a business
because right now the only thing for business that I'm actually doing is the podcast which is
don't get me wrong that's extremely beneficial and it's like exactly what I need to be doing but
it's not making money yet and that's pretty much where I'm at right now in my business and
that's that's it for the episode so to wrap things up don't forget to download your favorite episodes
