WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.199 It's something that I'm really going through 00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:03.180 right now, kind of in these stages. You said 00:00:03.180 --> 00:00:06.980 when we stop chasing the how. We start the intelligence 00:00:06.980 --> 00:00:09.599 that can actually direct our next step. And that's 00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:11.199 kind of where I'm at right now. It's where I'm 00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:13.480 in my life. But there's a back and forth, the 00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:15.900 old identity, the old nurse system to the new 00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:19.179 one. It was the four ways to get ice cream as 00:00:19.179 --> 00:00:20.899 a way of understanding. Can you walk us through 00:00:20.899 --> 00:00:22.960 those four ways and help us understand the difference 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:25.059 between, like, I think because we're talking 00:00:25.059 --> 00:00:28.280 about a now forced action and a lying, effortless 00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:31.920 action? One, the discomfort is such a beautiful 00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:34.700 part of the whole thing once we get with it. 00:00:34.670 --> 00:00:38.229 So when I hear you actually what I saw what flashed 00:00:38.229 --> 00:00:41.250 into the screen of my mind was almost a child, 00:00:41.469 --> 00:00:43.429 you know, they're all over the map and they're 00:00:43.429 --> 00:00:46.390 kind of just losing it, you know, in that moment. 00:00:46.390 --> 00:00:48.549 And what do you do with a young child is you 00:00:48.549 --> 00:00:50.170 take that child and you're like, come on over 00:00:50.170 --> 00:00:52.869 here, baby. Like, let's let's calm down. If you 00:00:52.869 --> 00:00:55.390 start to treat money a little bit like a super 00:00:55.390 --> 00:00:57.609 important relationship because money, first of 00:00:57.609 --> 00:01:00.929 all, the word currency, it comes from torrente, 00:01:01.270 --> 00:01:05.120 which means flow. Okay, so money. is about flow. 00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.959 And we block the flow when there's a lot of stuff 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:10.500 in the way. So lots of times I'll say, like, 00:01:10.540 --> 00:01:14.579 clean up the muck, like demock. What's up, fam? 00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.319 Before we get into this conversation, let me 00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:18.560 say this. Look, I know it's a thing, right?

So Courtney, first of all, thank 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:07.700 you for coming back. Welcome back. Thank you. 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:16.219 So for everyone that is listening or watching, 00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:18.699 I just want to just kind of acknowledging something, 00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:22.539 you know, call up right, right up front. Courtney 00:02:22.539 --> 00:02:26.280 and I had this beautiful conversation the first 00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:28.960 time we tried to record this episode and we went 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:32.340 deep fast and then the tech gremlins kind of 00:02:32.340 --> 00:02:35.759 showed up right and We still have a big part 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.960 of it. I may be able to kind of weave that in 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.840 but instead of Trying to act like it never happened. 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.879 I just really want to truly honor what kind of 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.419 what came through and let it shape the conversation 00:02:48.419 --> 00:02:51.919 and where we go today and so Courtney, the first 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.900 time we talked, we opened up around the idea 00:02:55.900 --> 00:03:01.300 that so many of us really spend years playing 00:03:01.300 --> 00:03:03.460 a character. You know, the world is a stage, 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.919 Shakespeare was in the room. But we're playing 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.520 a character that was kind of written by expectation 00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:13.020 and not by our own authenticity. And Courtney, 00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.080 you talked about shedding those roles and stepping 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:18.360 into a new character at the stage of life, right? 00:03:18.979 --> 00:03:22.250 And I think you mentioned it to be called the 00:03:22.250 --> 00:03:26.509 white fire purification you know and you know 00:03:26.509 --> 00:03:28.530 this isn't you know kind of like this is who 00:03:28.530 --> 00:03:31.750 i i don't want to be anymore and we also talked 00:03:31.750 --> 00:03:35.090 about the inner intelligence that you uh that 00:03:35.090 --> 00:03:38.750 you devoted to and that's something that you 00:03:38.750 --> 00:03:40.270 know it's like it was something that's beating 00:03:40.270 --> 00:03:42.949 our hearts right through our nervous system guiding 00:03:42.949 --> 00:03:47.050 us and so You said something that really landed 00:03:47.050 --> 00:03:48.990 for me, something that I'm really going through 00:03:48.990 --> 00:03:51.469 right now, kind of in these stages. You said 00:03:51.469 --> 00:03:57.210 when we stop chasing the how, we start the intelligence 00:03:57.210 --> 00:04:00.289 that can actually direct our next step. And that's 00:04:00.289 --> 00:04:01.669 kind of where I'm at right now. That's where 00:04:01.669 --> 00:04:04.430 I'm in my life. But there's a back and forth, 00:04:04.490 --> 00:04:06.830 the old identity, the old nervous system to the 00:04:06.830 --> 00:04:10.159 new one that I'm becoming. So today, I don't 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.159 wanna recreate that exact moment, but I do wanna 00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.580 pick up that thread and take it further. So for 00:04:15.580 --> 00:04:17.800 the entrepreneurs, the creatives, the nine to 00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:21.160 five -ers who are stepping into 2026, wanting 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:24.079 to become more of the aligned version of themselves, 00:04:25.540 --> 00:04:30.699 this is for you. And I really want to kind of 00:04:30.699 --> 00:04:35.019 just go into it. So my question for you will 00:04:35.019 --> 00:04:40.180 be this. Let me find it here. My question for 00:04:40.180 --> 00:04:42.079 you Courtney, the first as we as we're going 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:44.300 in, you know for the person listening who is 00:04:44.300 --> 00:04:46.980 still addicted to figuring it out because that's 00:04:46.980 --> 00:04:49.180 kind of where I'm at and a lot of people are 00:04:49.180 --> 00:04:52.579 and they were chasing the how did you how did 00:04:52.579 --> 00:04:56.060 you personally learn to trust that the non doing 00:04:56.060 --> 00:04:59.579 and the relaxation could be a like a powerful 00:04:59.579 --> 00:05:02.620 way to create real change in your life and and 00:05:02.620 --> 00:05:05.550 in your work. I love the fact that I'm getting 00:05:05.550 --> 00:05:08.069 to take notes myself this time because your questions 00:05:08.069 --> 00:05:13.180 are always so packed with richness. This whole 00:05:13.180 --> 00:05:16.139 point of like stop to chase stop chasing the 00:05:16.139 --> 00:05:19.120 how is something that I started picking up on 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.639 from the Dow actually. And I don't know if listeners 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:23.879 are familiar with the Dow to Ching, but it's 00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.480 one of the most brilliant books, maybe the most 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.439 brilliant book. Anyway, one of them ever written. 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.939 And it talks about this non doing. And I remember 00:05:32.939 --> 00:05:35.240 when I first came across it years and years ago, 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.139 I thought, what does that even mean? You know, 00:05:37.139 --> 00:05:40.459 I don't know what it means to not do. And what 00:05:40.459 --> 00:05:43.620 I discovered in reading it and rereading it and 00:05:43.620 --> 00:05:45.819 rereading it was because I could tell there was 00:05:45.819 --> 00:05:49.339 a lot of wisdom in there for me to soak up was 00:05:49.339 --> 00:05:52.620 that it wasn't that you don't do necessarily. 00:05:52.740 --> 00:05:55.459 It's that the doing happens through you, which 00:05:55.459 --> 00:05:57.800 is what you and I talked a little bit about last 00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:01.019 week. And the power of that is really one of 00:06:01.019 --> 00:06:04.180 the ways that I love to do it. did to not do 00:06:04.180 --> 00:06:07.019 is I will say to that intelligence we've been 00:06:07.019 --> 00:06:09.180 talking about and I call it by many names I call 00:06:09.180 --> 00:06:11.600 it God I call it I call it all sorts of a rose 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:13.980 by any on any other name is still a rose right 00:06:13.980 --> 00:06:16.439 we still have Shakespeare with us so it's like 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:20.459 that piece of I will say to it I'll say oh I 00:06:20.459 --> 00:06:22.759 have no idea how you're figuring this out right 00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:24.959 I'll have some sort of wild vision and people 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:27.800 will say that's nuts like you how could you possibly 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:29.600 do that thing or whatever then I'll just say 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.740 I don't know and then I and then I start talking 00:06:31.740 --> 00:06:34.290 to this and and I'll say, I'll kind of flippantly, 00:06:34.449 --> 00:06:37.110 but kind of fun and excited. I have no idea how 00:06:37.110 --> 00:06:39.889 the heck you're figuring that out. And somehow 00:06:39.889 --> 00:06:43.290 the next right actions will keep coming to me 00:06:43.290 --> 00:06:45.750 and I'll keep getting those inspirational hits 00:06:45.750 --> 00:06:48.689 because I've surrendered to the fact that I don't 00:06:48.689 --> 00:06:50.970 know. And I think that's such a powerful place 00:06:50.970 --> 00:06:54.259 for us to be in is. just admitting like I have 00:06:54.259 --> 00:06:57.579 no idea how to do this right and then going though 00:06:57.579 --> 00:07:01.420 with that excitement that that underlying evolutionary 00:07:01.420 --> 00:07:03.879 impulse that's guiding you to something very 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.620 specific and I love when we just hand it over 00:07:06.620 --> 00:07:08.939 to that intelligence like you mentioned a moment 00:07:08.939 --> 00:07:11.959 ago and we just say here take it like I have 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:13.920 no idea how to do this I know that this is in 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.139 me because otherwise I wouldn't be feeling it 00:07:16.139 --> 00:07:19.259 to the degree that I am and I have no idea how 00:07:19.259 --> 00:07:21.579 you're doing it through me but Thank you very 00:07:21.579 --> 00:07:23.959 much. And that's it. That's kind of the extent 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.579 of what happens for me. And then I start again, 00:07:26.699 --> 00:07:29.560 getting that next stair, that next one that I 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:32.680 have to walk up or walk down. It becomes apparent 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.399 to me. So again, hearkening back to that teaching, 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:37.720 the teaching of the Tao is it sort of it happens 00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.819 through you as a result of who you are is essentially 00:07:40.819 --> 00:07:44.120 what I got from that. And yeah, I love this approach 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:48.529 because it makes it a lot easier. Yeah. it does 00:07:48.529 --> 00:07:52.269 make it a lot easier because as you're sharing 00:07:52.269 --> 00:07:54.769 that that's really the stages that I'm going 00:07:54.769 --> 00:07:56.430 through right now or the steps that I'm taking 00:07:56.430 --> 00:07:59.250 that I don't necessarily know the how like there's 00:07:59.250 --> 00:08:01.670 this all this stuff that I have to not have that 00:08:01.670 --> 00:08:05.069 I'm dealing with um I have it you know growing 00:08:05.069 --> 00:08:07.250 a business team they gotta pay but then I have 00:08:07.250 --> 00:08:10.889 this purpose that I'm you know living and there's 00:08:10.889 --> 00:08:13.209 this thing on the inside of me that's just bubbling 00:08:13.209 --> 00:08:16.769 up it's like You know, I can divert my attention 00:08:16.769 --> 00:08:18.910 to this or this, but there's something that's 00:08:18.910 --> 00:08:21.209 pulling me and calling me to do this other thing, 00:08:21.310 --> 00:08:24.189 this thing that's really kind of leading everything 00:08:24.189 --> 00:08:26.550 else, like the podcast, the course, everything, 00:08:26.610 --> 00:08:31.949 right? And it's uncomfortable. And I'm trying 00:08:31.949 --> 00:08:35.330 to, I've learned to try to stop figuring out 00:08:35.330 --> 00:08:39.690 the how. You know what I mean? Yeah. And that 00:08:39.690 --> 00:08:42.210 discomfort. And so I know other people are also. 00:08:43.449 --> 00:08:46.450 Go ahead. Sorry. No, no, go ahead. Go ahead. 00:08:46.710 --> 00:08:49.289 No, I was gonna say a lot of people maybe not 00:08:49.289 --> 00:08:51.190 I always say a lot of people but there are people 00:08:51.190 --> 00:08:55.110 that they may be feeling that same thing and 00:08:55.110 --> 00:08:58.990 What do they do? Like how do they really listen 00:08:58.990 --> 00:09:01.929 to? Not trying to figure out the how but really 00:09:01.929 --> 00:09:04.590 listen to that inner thing inside of them That's 00:09:04.590 --> 00:09:07.269 really guiding them to the next the next step 00:09:07.269 --> 00:09:12.700 Well one the discomfort is such a beautiful part 00:09:12.700 --> 00:09:15.860 of the whole thing once we get with it. So when 00:09:15.860 --> 00:09:19.039 I hear you actually what I saw what flashed in 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:22.340 to the screen of my mind was almost a child, 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.480 right? It was like a child when a child is like, 00:09:26.580 --> 00:09:28.659 you know, they're all over the map and they're 00:09:28.659 --> 00:09:31.539 kind of just they're losing it, you know, in 00:09:31.539 --> 00:09:33.539 that moment. And what do you do with a young 00:09:33.539 --> 00:09:35.320 child is you take that child and you're like, 00:09:35.419 --> 00:09:37.580 come on over here, baby. Like, let's let's calm 00:09:37.580 --> 00:09:40.740 down. Let's let's relax together. Let's, you 00:09:40.740 --> 00:09:43.299 know, figure out next once we're calm. Right. 00:09:43.580 --> 00:09:45.460 And that's what you do. That's that's what you 00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:47.759 do. But we don't do that with ourselves. We basically 00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.419 tell ourselves the discomfort is not OK. But 00:09:50.419 --> 00:09:52.580 the discomfort is the white fire that I talked 00:09:52.580 --> 00:09:55.679 about in our last time together. It's the place 00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:58.539 where transmutation occurs. It's the place where 00:09:58.539 --> 00:10:01.000 alchemy occurs. It's the place where you start 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.399 growing into the evolutionary principles that 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:06.539 you specifically were designed for. So once we 00:10:06.539 --> 00:10:09.690 get with that. then the growth can happen. If 00:10:09.690 --> 00:10:11.870 we're not willing to get with that, what happens 00:10:11.870 --> 00:10:14.929 is we start to move into states that frankly 00:10:14.929 --> 00:10:17.990 are not conducive with creating what we want. 00:10:18.330 --> 00:10:20.909 So if we are in the discomfort and instead of 00:10:20.909 --> 00:10:22.889 just being with it the way we would again with 00:10:22.889 --> 00:10:24.710 a little child and say, hey, come on over here, 00:10:24.830 --> 00:10:27.769 babe. I got you. I got you right now. This is 00:10:27.769 --> 00:10:31.700 uncomfortable. Feel it all. Literally like enjoy 00:10:31.700 --> 00:10:34.559 the sensations together and then let's bring 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:37.679 it back. Okay now now that you back in that state 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.000 of calm relaxation Now we can move forward now 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.039 we can take the next step But before that we 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:44.759 don't have to and again, that's part of like 00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:47.379 I don't have to do anything It might feel like 00:10:47.379 --> 00:10:49.259 that because society tells you got to do do do 00:10:49.259 --> 00:10:51.240 you got a hustle? You got to make it happen, 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:54.100 but I have found those to be very misleading 00:10:54.100 --> 00:11:00.399 concepts. Yeah Yeah, I agree And I think when, 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:05.580 for me, when I, it was a struggle to try to say, 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:07.879 you know what, it's okay. Like I think I told 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:10.480 you last time we talked is that that's kind of 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:14.059 who I was in a younger state at a younger age. 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:17.360 And throughout life, it just kind of felt like 00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:18.820 I had to hustle. You know, I felt like I had 00:11:18.820 --> 00:11:21.179 to go, go, go. Cause I, you know, I come in the 00:11:21.179 --> 00:11:22.799 world of track and field, I'm a sprinter. And 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.139 I think that maybe also played a part in my world 00:11:26.139 --> 00:11:31.730 as I got, as I got older. But there's a piece 00:11:31.730 --> 00:11:36.669 that happens when I just kind of let it be, not 00:11:36.669 --> 00:11:39.129 trying to figure out the how, not trying to rush 00:11:39.129 --> 00:11:42.350 things. When you're running a company or building 00:11:42.350 --> 00:11:47.809 a business, it's almost like there's the it that 00:11:47.809 --> 00:11:50.769 kind of takes over and doesn't allow one person 00:11:50.769 --> 00:11:55.090 to really just be able to allow that calmness, 00:11:55.110 --> 00:11:58.470 the relaxation, the peace to... guide you so 00:11:58.470 --> 00:12:00.309 what do you say for those people I know you kind 00:12:00.309 --> 00:12:02.710 of maybe tapped into it a little bit already 00:12:02.710 --> 00:12:06.009 but what do you say to those people that just 00:12:06.009 --> 00:12:09.470 cannot let go of that that part of them that 00:12:09.470 --> 00:12:14.309 keeps running them into you know a burnout yeah 00:12:14.309 --> 00:12:18.289 well We all know rushing rushing just doesn't 00:12:18.289 --> 00:12:21.690 feel good. It's like imagine and and also too 00:12:21.690 --> 00:12:24.850 much noise doesn't feel good. So when I listen 00:12:24.850 --> 00:12:27.990 to you talk about the sprinter in you and the 00:12:27.990 --> 00:12:29.769 kind of you know rushing to get somewhere and 00:12:29.769 --> 00:12:32.009 all this and I see that in so many and I have 00:12:32.009 --> 00:12:34.570 had that in the past as well and still can get 00:12:34.570 --> 00:12:38.889 very easily into that mode. What I remember is 00:12:38.889 --> 00:12:43.090 is like space and silence and how it feels scary. 00:12:43.090 --> 00:12:46.080 So for instance right now. i just stopped talking 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.940 it was only it was maybe what was it a second 00:12:48.940 --> 00:12:52.240 and i bet the listeners are probably what what 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.279 what they tune in right so the minute you just 00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:58.580 stop there's a tuning in that happens and it 00:12:58.580 --> 00:13:01.679 happens swiftly and people forget about this 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:04.019 but there's a there's a great zen saying it's 00:13:04.019 --> 00:13:07.279 it's they say the space between the bars it's 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.639 the space between the bars that holds the tiger 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:12.720 and it's the silence between the notes that makes 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:15.830 the music If we're forgetting that silence and 00:13:15.830 --> 00:13:18.389 we're rushing to life, if we're forgetting the 00:13:18.389 --> 00:13:20.990 pause, if we're forgetting the moment of discomfort, 00:13:21.110 --> 00:13:23.250 if we're in a symphony, if we're listening to 00:13:23.250 --> 00:13:25.490 a symphony, there are moments of discomfort. 00:13:25.490 --> 00:13:28.210 You can feel them. There are moments of tension. 00:13:28.529 --> 00:13:31.649 There are moments of of grieving. There are moments 00:13:31.649 --> 00:13:35.250 of beauty. There are moments of of just whatever 00:13:35.250 --> 00:13:37.710 it is. Like there's all of that sensation tied 00:13:37.710 --> 00:13:39.509 up in a beautiful symphony. That's what life 00:13:39.509 --> 00:13:41.909 can be like. But everyone's kind of trying to 00:13:41.909 --> 00:13:44.669 hit that same note. keep that same note the whole 00:13:44.669 --> 00:13:48.009 time. And frankly, that's not only boring, but 00:13:48.009 --> 00:13:50.370 it doesn't make for good art and your life is 00:13:50.370 --> 00:13:53.889 the same way. So if you come at it with the perspective 00:13:53.889 --> 00:13:58.490 of like, you know what, stopping or slowing down 00:13:58.490 --> 00:14:03.649 does not mean that that nothing's happening. 00:14:03.909 --> 00:14:07.070 Quite the contrary, it means much is happening. 00:14:07.450 --> 00:14:10.649 So the way the this intelligence shows up to 00:14:10.649 --> 00:14:13.450 is when we do stop because again, it's like the 00:14:13.450 --> 00:14:15.769 listener tuning in the moment they hear the silence, 00:14:15.769 --> 00:14:17.909 they start tuning in a little bit more. That 00:14:17.909 --> 00:14:20.389 listener inside you starts tuning in and saying, 00:14:20.730 --> 00:14:24.250 Oh, finally, the noise stopped. Let me jump in 00:14:24.250 --> 00:14:26.529 there. I've got I've got something to say. And 00:14:26.529 --> 00:14:28.529 as far as I can tell, that's the way it works. 00:14:28.529 --> 00:14:30.370 And it's pretty brilliant technology that we 00:14:30.370 --> 00:14:36.389 all have. It is it is I think there is this there 00:14:36.389 --> 00:14:39.149 may have been a little training for me for the 00:14:39.149 --> 00:14:42.529 years When I had to go through when I went through 00:14:42.529 --> 00:14:45.929 my health issues There was a good it's been a 00:14:45.929 --> 00:14:52.769 good decade where life God the divine universe 00:14:52.769 --> 00:14:56.789 Whatever it is all that work is to workings together 00:14:56.789 --> 00:15:02.909 really slowed me down and Guess what life kept 00:15:02.909 --> 00:15:09.450 happening But I also felt in I Felt more empowered 00:15:09.450 --> 00:15:12.470 even though I wasn't you know, I was dealing 00:15:12.470 --> 00:15:15.470 with you know, you know kidney failure cancer 00:15:15.470 --> 00:15:20.289 all that kind of stuff, right and so in Like 00:15:20.289 --> 00:15:22.649 in that quiet space through the decade I was 00:15:22.649 --> 00:15:24.950 like, you know what I don't have to feel like 00:15:24.950 --> 00:15:27.129 I have to rush to the get to the next point and 00:15:27.129 --> 00:15:31.350 It's okay to just slow down because life is and 00:15:31.350 --> 00:15:38.509 will be happening yeah yeah so last time before 00:15:38.509 --> 00:15:43.370 we froze you teased something that that i really 00:15:43.370 --> 00:15:47.389 wanted to talk about and it was so tasty it was 00:15:47.389 --> 00:15:50.870 the four ways to get ice cream as a way of understanding 00:15:50.870 --> 00:15:54.289 um you know just i think different kinds of like 00:15:54.289 --> 00:15:57.399 actions i believe it was Um can you walk us through 00:15:57.399 --> 00:15:59.460 those four ways and help us understand the difference 00:15:59.460 --> 00:16:01.720 between like I think because we're talking about 00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:05.840 it now force action and align effortless action. 00:16:06.659 --> 00:16:10.940 Yes, yes. So this is a mix of things. The four 00:16:10.940 --> 00:16:13.620 ways of getting ice cream. One is some banter 00:16:13.620 --> 00:16:16.779 that I listened to years ago between Wayne Dyer 00:16:16.779 --> 00:16:19.320 and Deepak Chopra. They were talking about they 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:21.240 were the ones I originally heard this idea of 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:24.080 how you get ice cream. And then what I did was 00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:27.049 I embellished it a little bit and I added to 00:16:27.049 --> 00:16:29.409 it the different brainwave frequencies that we 00:16:29.409 --> 00:16:33.269 all experience on a day -to -day basis. So if 00:16:33.269 --> 00:16:34.850 there are four ways of getting ice cream, the 00:16:34.850 --> 00:16:38.570 first way is a thought impulse occurs for ice 00:16:38.570 --> 00:16:40.649 cream. And the reason I say it that way is a 00:16:40.649 --> 00:16:42.970 lot of people say that they think, but for most 00:16:42.970 --> 00:16:44.669 people that's the equivalent of saying I beat 00:16:44.669 --> 00:16:48.200 my heart. Because most of us are not consciously 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:52.360 forming thought. We're not consciously directing 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:55.179 thought. And what we know about thought from 00:16:55.179 --> 00:16:58.299 our scientists is that we don't know where it 00:16:58.299 --> 00:17:00.059 originates in the brain, for example. So there's 00:17:00.059 --> 00:17:03.139 not a part of the brain like the prefrontal cortex 00:17:03.139 --> 00:17:05.420 where thought originates. We don't know. But 00:17:05.420 --> 00:17:07.720 what we know about these thoughts is that they 00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:10.730 are electrical impulses. and that we're receiving 00:17:10.730 --> 00:17:14.190 somewhere between 50 to 70 thousand of them a 00:17:14.190 --> 00:17:17.170 day something like that okay and for most people 00:17:17.170 --> 00:17:20.269 they're the same thought impulses every day and 00:17:20.269 --> 00:17:23.089 so what happens is people because of that they 00:17:23.089 --> 00:17:25.890 sort of calcify into a persona. So we can go 00:17:25.890 --> 00:17:27.910 back and talk about that later if you want but 00:17:27.910 --> 00:17:30.349 for now we'll talk about just the thought impulse 00:17:30.349 --> 00:17:32.470 occurs for ice cream okay so most people are 00:17:32.470 --> 00:17:34.970 not actively deciding that they want ice cream 00:17:34.970 --> 00:17:37.029 and making that the dominant thought pattern 00:17:37.029 --> 00:17:40.490 right it just this impulse comes right so you 00:17:40.490 --> 00:17:42.809 get the impulse and the first way of getting 00:17:42.809 --> 00:17:45.309 ice cream is you got the impulse and you decide 00:17:45.309 --> 00:17:47.670 you're going to go out it's 3 a .m in the morning 00:17:47.670 --> 00:17:49.769 you're going to go you're going to go to some 00:17:49.769 --> 00:17:52.150 convenience or yeah I don't know, 7 -eleven here 00:17:52.150 --> 00:17:54.190 in America and you're gonna and you're gonna 00:17:54.190 --> 00:17:56.529 pick up some freezer burn variety of ice cream. 00:17:56.630 --> 00:17:58.349 You're gonna get back to your house. You're exhausted. 00:17:58.569 --> 00:18:00.210 You don't even know why you got the thing in 00:18:00.210 --> 00:18:02.769 the first place. You sit down to eat it. It doesn't 00:18:02.769 --> 00:18:04.970 taste very good. It doesn't sit well in your 00:18:04.970 --> 00:18:07.630 stomach. You like I said, I embellish the whole 00:18:07.630 --> 00:18:10.490 thing so. That's the first way. And it's akin 00:18:10.490 --> 00:18:14.150 to being in high, it's akin to being in high 00:18:14.150 --> 00:18:16.490 beta, which is where most people are all the 00:18:16.490 --> 00:18:19.490 time. So beta, when we talk about these different 00:18:19.490 --> 00:18:22.009 brainwave frequencies, there are cycles per second 00:18:22.009 --> 00:18:24.630 in your brain. And so high beta, the best way 00:18:24.630 --> 00:18:27.289 I've ever heard it described is like having a 00:18:27.289 --> 00:18:29.769 four gear race car that you're driving around 00:18:29.769 --> 00:18:32.809 in first gear all day long. Okay, think about 00:18:32.809 --> 00:18:34.829 that for a second, you got a four gear race car, 00:18:34.890 --> 00:18:37.539 you got to you got to I don't know, a Maserati 00:18:37.539 --> 00:18:40.180 or a Lamborghini or whatever. You've got this 00:18:40.180 --> 00:18:42.339 car and you're driving it in first gear everywhere 00:18:42.339 --> 00:18:44.400 you want to go. That's what a lot of people are 00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:47.640 doing and that's that rushing that you have felt 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:50.440 in other times in your life, right? So that's 00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:52.019 the first way of getting ice cream. Thought impulse 00:18:52.019 --> 00:18:53.380 occurs, you go out and get it. It's still pretty 00:18:53.380 --> 00:18:55.440 miraculous. Like we can get that even at three 00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:57.240 in the morning. Again, here in America, I lived 00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:00.220 in Italy for 23 years. You could not get ice 00:19:00.220 --> 00:19:01.940 cream in the middle of the night, but here we 00:19:01.940 --> 00:19:06.480 can do this, right? So first way. First way, 00:19:06.859 --> 00:19:08.799 second way of getting ice cream is the thought 00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:12.180 impulse occurs for ice cream. And I say to myself, 00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:14.119 you know what, my friend Michael's out. I'm going 00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:15.940 to call him up and ask him if he could get me 00:19:15.940 --> 00:19:17.980 some ice cream. And you're such a great guy that 00:19:17.980 --> 00:19:20.480 you're like, girl. I got you and you get me some 00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:22.480 ice cream and you bring it back to me and I'm 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:24.859 all happy because I've here I've enlisted your 00:19:24.859 --> 00:19:27.160 help, you know, I've had a thought impulse I've 00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:29.460 enlisted your help. You've come you brought me 00:19:29.460 --> 00:19:31.019 some ice cream. This is the second way So this 00:19:31.019 --> 00:19:33.559 is akin to as we move out of high range beta 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:36.559 into mid range low range and we move into alpha 00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:39.579 Which is actually remarkably easy to do very 00:19:39.579 --> 00:19:43.039 swiftly. We move into alpha We have so much more 00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:46.720 creative capacity available to us so I can enlist 00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:48.759 the help of others I can come up with different 00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:50.960 solutions. I don't have to go out at three in 00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:53.579 the morning I can slate it for whatever you know 00:19:53.579 --> 00:19:57.259 and so we start to have just this more moreness 00:19:57.259 --> 00:19:59.779 open up to us. Now the third way of getting ice 00:19:59.779 --> 00:20:02.880 cream is the thought impulse occurs for ice cream 00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:04.660 right I'm just sitting there minding my own business 00:20:04.660 --> 00:20:07.299 and all of a sudden you know honey and and and 00:20:07.299 --> 00:20:09.700 cream comes into my mind and I'm really you know 00:20:09.700 --> 00:20:12.380 I'm licking my lips and next thing I know you 00:20:12.380 --> 00:20:15.000 show up at my door I did not call you you just 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:17.380 show up and you're like court I got this ice 00:20:17.380 --> 00:20:20.829 cream I just picked it up. I'm not feeling it. 00:20:20.829 --> 00:20:22.970 I don't know why do you want do you want it or 00:20:22.970 --> 00:20:24.670 you say I got it you want to share some with 00:20:24.670 --> 00:20:27.490 me and I say Michael I totally yes I was just 00:20:27.490 --> 00:20:29.970 that thought imposition now in that moment when 00:20:29.970 --> 00:20:32.029 this occurs and it has occurred for everyone 00:20:32.029 --> 00:20:34.509 listening every single person listening has had 00:20:34.509 --> 00:20:36.430 something like this happen right so it's like 00:20:36.430 --> 00:20:40.170 for instance I'm just thinking of some aunt who 00:20:40.170 --> 00:20:42.960 I haven't talked to and five years or something 00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:45.299 and she calls me up or she sends me an email 00:20:45.299 --> 00:20:48.099 or something and all of a sudden you call your 00:20:48.099 --> 00:20:49.680 friends and you say you won't believe what happened 00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:52.039 I was just thinking to this person well this 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:54.500 starts to move into the realm of like quantum 00:20:54.500 --> 00:20:57.460 entanglement when your mind starts to move into 00:20:57.460 --> 00:20:59.599 these frequencies and this particular one that 00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:02.500 I'm referring to is theta so when your mind starts 00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:05.839 to move into theta what happens is the matches 00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:08.880 for the frequency you're sending out, the vibrational 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:13.000 matches of that frequency start to appear. And 00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:16.640 it seems very wild, very almost woo woo, but 00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:19.160 we've all had it occur. So we've all had been 00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:22.319 in these states, eyes wide open. Okay. And this 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:24.559 is also the state where your brain starts to 00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:27.019 release something called catecholamines, which 00:21:27.019 --> 00:21:29.740 are vital for learning and memory. It's a very 00:21:29.740 --> 00:21:32.900 powerful brainwave frequency to have access to 00:21:32.900 --> 00:21:36.039 while you're awake. And we can all access it, 00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:38.240 it's not that difficult. And then the fourth 00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:39.960 way of getting ice cream, and this might trip 00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:42.720 up some people listening, but you've probably 00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:46.319 had some instances of it, is you're just thinking 00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:49.839 of ice cream and the ice cream appears out of 00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:52.980 nowhere. Like you didn't bring it to me, I didn't 00:21:52.980 --> 00:21:55.519 see any, it was just something, it wasn't there 00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:58.160 before and now it is there. Now, I'm telling 00:21:58.160 --> 00:21:59.859 you, Michael, when I started having occurrences 00:21:59.859 --> 00:22:02.119 like this in my life and I wrote about it in 00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:04.740 the second book, Give Yourself Permission, when 00:22:04.740 --> 00:22:06.559 I started having occurrences like this, I was 00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:09.079 like, come on, this can't be real. This wasn't 00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:11.960 here and now it's here. Or I would start thinking 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:16.200 I was desiring something and I would just start 00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:21.150 to hold it in that kind of quiet space. And the 00:22:21.150 --> 00:22:23.690 match for it would just it would just show up. 00:22:23.769 --> 00:22:25.309 It was like it was the most miraculous thing. 00:22:25.450 --> 00:22:28.430 It wasn't like I orchestrated anything for it 00:22:28.430 --> 00:22:31.190 to occur or it's even that somebody that I knew 00:22:31.190 --> 00:22:33.569 orchestrated something. It just occurred. It 00:22:33.569 --> 00:22:37.450 was pretty remarkable stuff. And so I liken this 00:22:37.450 --> 00:22:39.789 fourth way. And I'll give you a more concrete 00:22:39.789 --> 00:22:41.130 example because people are like, what are you 00:22:41.130 --> 00:22:42.690 talking about? There's ice cream, no ice cream. 00:22:42.890 --> 00:22:44.690 I'll give you a very concrete example. But first. 00:22:45.330 --> 00:22:48.390 but first let me let me explain that this is 00:22:48.390 --> 00:22:51.910 something akin to delta and so when we're in 00:22:51.910 --> 00:22:53.470 delta and there are other brainwave frequencies 00:22:53.470 --> 00:22:55.730 we have access to i've experienced other ones 00:22:55.730 --> 00:22:59.210 that are quite remarkable but delta what happens 00:22:59.210 --> 00:23:01.450 in delta is we start to release something called 00:23:01.450 --> 00:23:04.509 human growth hormone and we start to have access 00:23:04.509 --> 00:23:08.630 to this almost like a field of potentials that 00:23:08.630 --> 00:23:11.789 we don't normally have access to. And again, 00:23:11.829 --> 00:23:13.930 these states are available to all of us. And 00:23:13.930 --> 00:23:16.430 in fact, we all go in and out of these states 00:23:16.430 --> 00:23:19.910 every day. We go in and out of them as we're 00:23:19.910 --> 00:23:22.910 waking and as we're falling asleep. So I'll talk 00:23:22.910 --> 00:23:25.230 more about that if you want, but. just to bring 00:23:25.230 --> 00:23:27.269 it back to dial it back and I'll give the one 00:23:27.269 --> 00:23:29.329 of the examples that I noticed of this after 00:23:29.329 --> 00:23:32.809 I started researching it was I was I was looking 00:23:32.809 --> 00:23:35.029 for something in a space where I had been looking 00:23:35.029 --> 00:23:36.769 for it looking and I want to give an example 00:23:36.769 --> 00:23:39.470 that everyone knows of because it'll help dial 00:23:39.470 --> 00:23:41.950 it in is like I was looking for something I searched 00:23:41.950 --> 00:23:45.750 everywhere in the space right and I couldn't 00:23:45.750 --> 00:23:47.910 find it anywhere and it was kind of important 00:23:47.910 --> 00:23:51.109 that I found this thing and as soon as I stopped 00:23:51.109 --> 00:23:56.039 searching I closed my eyes I relaxed. I went 00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:59.579 inside. I imagined finding the thing. I opened 00:23:59.579 --> 00:24:02.240 my eyes back up and literally seconds later I 00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:05.140 find it right where I had been searching so diligently 00:24:05.140 --> 00:24:07.859 before and not finding the same thing. Again, 00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:09.960 anyone who's relaxed around something like a 00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:12.980 name or anything, you know what I'm talking about. 00:24:13.059 --> 00:24:15.339 It's like it'll show up when you relax and the 00:24:15.339 --> 00:24:17.480 reason it shows up when you relax is because 00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:19.599 you're changing your frequency. Does all that 00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:22.920 make sense? It does make sense. It's so funny 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.460 that you said that because I bought a pack of 00:24:26.460 --> 00:24:38.039 batteries and I had to send back on my little 00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:40.960 thing back here and I can't find it anywhere 00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:43.019 and I was telling myself the same thing. I said 00:24:43.019 --> 00:24:46.319 maybe I need to calm down. And then I just forgot 00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:49.799 about it. So I'm going to do that again. Do the 00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:51.660 exercise so it can show up because I need my 00:24:51.660 --> 00:25:02.000 batteries. Nope. Dang it. You totally disappeared 00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:04.119 on me. You said a pack of batteries and then 00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:06.099 I couldn't hear anything else and you froze. 00:25:06.619 --> 00:25:09.650 So basically. What happened is like you were 00:25:09.650 --> 00:25:12.410 talking to you were talking given that example 00:25:12.410 --> 00:25:15.109 about the the fourth the fourth way to get ice 00:25:15.109 --> 00:25:19.490 cream being the Delta and basically I'm looking 00:25:19.490 --> 00:25:22.769 I was looking for a pack of batteries that I 00:25:22.769 --> 00:25:24.910 that I purchased and I know I purchased them 00:25:24.910 --> 00:25:27.990 I know I set them back here or by my laptop back 00:25:27.990 --> 00:25:31.289 here and I can't find it anywhere and then a 00:25:31.289 --> 00:25:33.049 little later I was like maybe I need to calm 00:25:33.049 --> 00:25:35.490 down because that has happened to me before. 00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:38.519 where he just kind of slowed down or I slowed 00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:42.160 down and it just was there. And then I slowed 00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:46.880 down so much that I just forgot about it. Yeah. 00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:53.220 Love it. I love it. Yeah. So I'll just say I 00:25:53.220 --> 00:26:00.740 want to make it in a bigger way where people 00:26:00.740 --> 00:26:03.519 are looking at that your example and my example 00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:08.759 as money They want you know, they want they're 00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:12.359 a fuller bank account or they want you know a 00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:15.900 bigger house or things like that How does that 00:26:15.900 --> 00:26:18.480 apply or they want you know, their business to 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.460 do X Y & Z? How does that apply? to them when 00:26:22.460 --> 00:26:25.019 they're looking for those things to Materialize 00:26:25.019 --> 00:26:28.599 in their life. Yeah. So first you gotta you gotta 00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:32.119 lessen the noise so people say they want something 00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:35.339 but they want so many things at the same time 00:26:35.339 --> 00:26:39.160 and they have so many competing desires and thought 00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:43.400 patterns that it's like it's like trying to throw 00:26:43.400 --> 00:26:46.160 something in a very tumultuous body of water 00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:48.400 right if you throw something in a tumultuous 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:51.900 say you throw a stone in a tumultuous body of 00:26:51.900 --> 00:26:54.839 water you're not going to see anything you won't 00:26:54.839 --> 00:26:57.000 see anything because there's too much activity 00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:00.019 But if you have a still body of water and you 00:27:00.019 --> 00:27:01.759 throw a stone in, you're going to see a ripple 00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:06.119 effect. You're going to see an echoing, rippling 00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:09.099 effect. And it's very much the same way when 00:27:09.099 --> 00:27:13.559 we... plant or we basically set an intention 00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:16.440 in that field. So just like we were saying, if 00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:18.940 there's a lot of noise, if you're in high beta 00:27:18.940 --> 00:27:22.920 and your brain is just churning out all this 00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:26.039 stuff and you're exposing yourself to all this 00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:29.420 information, what happens is it's just too much 00:27:29.420 --> 00:27:32.059 noise. Like the field can't respond back. It 00:27:32.059 --> 00:27:34.880 can't echo back because there's too much in the 00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:37.339 way. There's too much static. So first of all, 00:27:37.339 --> 00:27:39.019 does that make sense? Because that's a big thing 00:27:39.019 --> 00:27:42.079 that we need to clarify. Because if you're going 00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:44.960 to put something in there, you got to have it. 00:27:45.140 --> 00:27:48.859 Yeah, go ahead. No, go ahead. Because I was just 00:27:48.859 --> 00:27:52.539 going to say that just really, it really clears 00:27:52.539 --> 00:27:57.200 up a lot of things for me. Because my mind is 00:27:57.200 --> 00:27:59.579 always going and it could be in 25 different 00:27:59.579 --> 00:28:03.650 spots in one time. And in some way, I feel like 00:28:03.650 --> 00:28:06.569 it's all, you know, it's all, you know, aligning. 00:28:06.690 --> 00:28:09.410 But maybe that's a story that I tell myself. 00:28:09.470 --> 00:28:11.990 And then when I have all those things going, 00:28:12.069 --> 00:28:15.670 I really have to step back because everything 00:28:15.670 --> 00:28:17.849 is competing and then I can't get the creative 00:28:17.849 --> 00:28:21.549 idea. I can't, you know, move forward with X, 00:28:21.549 --> 00:28:24.309 Y and Z because I do have, you know, multiple 00:28:24.309 --> 00:28:30.000 companies. But what I'm kind of learning. And 00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:32.500 it's going to take some more some more, you know, 00:28:32.579 --> 00:28:36.859 life experiences is that even though I have these 00:28:36.859 --> 00:28:38.339 different businesses, that doesn't mean I have 00:28:38.339 --> 00:28:41.819 to be thinking all about all of them at one time. 00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:46.240 Right. Right. Well, yes. Here's the other thing 00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:49.180 is if you start to treat money a little bit like 00:28:49.180 --> 00:28:52.920 a very important relationship. OK. I think it's 00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:56.240 super important relationship because money money. 00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:59.740 First of all, the word currency. It comes from 00:28:59.740 --> 00:29:04.220 quarantine, which means flow. Okay. So money 00:29:04.220 --> 00:29:08.099 is about flow and we block the flow when there's 00:29:08.099 --> 00:29:10.539 a lot of stuff in the way. So lots of times I'll 00:29:10.539 --> 00:29:13.960 say like clean up the mock like D mock. because 00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:16.759 if you got a lot of muck the water it can't move 00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:19.140 through just like this the the frequency of this 00:29:19.140 --> 00:29:20.940 can't really move through so that's the first 00:29:20.940 --> 00:29:24.960 piece we're talking about of just chill right 00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:29.259 relax first of all and then get to this place 00:29:29.259 --> 00:29:32.039 where you start to form a like a juicy relationship 00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:36.539 with money so for instance imagine it like a 00:29:36.539 --> 00:29:39.440 relationship okay No, and I'll just give you 00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:41.319 a couple examples when you think when you start 00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:43.000 to think about it in terms of a relationship, 00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:45.440 it becomes kind of fun. It's this game you get 00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:48.160 to play with with life and with abundance is 00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:50.819 like, OK, first of all, if I was in a relationship, 00:29:51.059 --> 00:29:53.440 would I want someone who's super clingy? Would 00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:55.559 I want someone who's like, oh, my God, I need 00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:57.960 you. I can't survive without you. Like, you know, 00:29:58.099 --> 00:30:00.279 my life would suck without you in it. It sucks 00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:04.380 without you in it. You'd be like. Oh, no. Right. 00:30:05.140 --> 00:30:08.000 Same way people are like, unconsciously or consciously, 00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:10.700 they're like, oh, my God, I don't have you. I 00:30:10.700 --> 00:30:12.920 don't have enough of you. If only I had you, 00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:15.819 I would do this. Now, you would not want to be 00:30:15.819 --> 00:30:17.279 in a relationship with somebody like that. Same 00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:19.759 way money, again, currency. It's a vibration. 00:30:19.819 --> 00:30:21.559 It doesn't want to be in relationship with that. 00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:24.880 OK. Also doesn't want to be in vibrational alignment 00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:28.019 with somebody who's like shouting all the time. 00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:30.160 And if you think about the noise in our environment, 00:30:30.259 --> 00:30:33.240 it's like People's minds are shouting all the 00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:34.960 time. They're going every which way. Like would 00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:37.039 you want to be with someone who is just like 00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:38.500 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, 00:30:38.500 --> 00:30:39.700 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, like never stopped 00:30:39.700 --> 00:30:42.240 talking, never chilled out was never quiet. Like 00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:44.940 would you be oh, I'm so attracted to you. No, 00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:47.279 you would not be now. None of us probably if 00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:48.819 we're in our right mind would be attracted to 00:30:48.819 --> 00:30:50.680 that. Right. Same way with money. If you start 00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:52.519 like getting all this stuff in the way of it 00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:54.700 is like what the hell does this person want? 00:30:54.819 --> 00:30:57.400 Right. Just silence. Right. So you kind of go 00:30:57.400 --> 00:30:59.299 over here and distance yourself. Same way with 00:30:59.299 --> 00:31:04.380 money. Money also really loves when you know 00:31:04.380 --> 00:31:07.519 that you are the source of all wealth. So it's 00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:09.279 the same way in a relationship. Like if I'm in 00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:11.339 a relationship with someone and they don't know 00:31:11.339 --> 00:31:14.460 that they are all that is, I get bored pretty 00:31:14.460 --> 00:31:17.059 quick, right? Because it's like, dude, if you 00:31:17.059 --> 00:31:20.160 think that your wealth originates from outside 00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:25.519 of you, you're wrong. Simply wrong. Wealth is 00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:29.329 an inside job. Wealth, being wealthy, having 00:31:29.329 --> 00:31:31.269 wealth consciousness, I've seen it with people 00:31:31.269 --> 00:31:33.809 who have a dime, I've seen it with people who 00:31:33.809 --> 00:31:36.529 have millions or even billions. I mean, I hang 00:31:36.529 --> 00:31:39.069 out, I've spent time with billionaires, millionaires, 00:31:39.210 --> 00:31:42.190 all of them, right? And you don't always see 00:31:42.190 --> 00:31:44.109 wealth consciousness in people who have a lot 00:31:44.109 --> 00:31:46.789 of money. Wealth consciousness is knowing that 00:31:46.789 --> 00:31:49.609 you have everything right now. One of my favorite 00:31:49.609 --> 00:31:51.630 stories of this actually was something I heard 00:31:51.630 --> 00:31:55.220 from Anthony DeMello. He told this great story. 00:31:55.240 --> 00:31:58.119 He was talking about a mystic wandering through 00:31:58.119 --> 00:32:00.660 the streets of, I don't know, somewhere in India. 00:32:01.059 --> 00:32:03.500 And this man runs up to him and he says, give 00:32:03.500 --> 00:32:05.980 me the stone. Give me the stone. And the mystic 00:32:05.980 --> 00:32:09.000 looks at him kind of, you know, just mystified, 00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:12.259 I guess, and says, what stone? He says, the stone 00:32:12.259 --> 00:32:14.279 that you have in your bag. I had a dream last 00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:16.619 night. Krishna came to me and told me that if 00:32:16.619 --> 00:32:18.819 you gave me the stone that you have, I'd be the 00:32:18.819 --> 00:32:21.880 richest man in the world. and the mystic stops 00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:25.140 and he he rummages through his sack and he pulls 00:32:25.140 --> 00:32:27.940 out the largest diamond ever seen and he says 00:32:27.940 --> 00:32:30.759 this stone and the dude says yeah that's the 00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:33.779 stone and so he he says sure take it and he gives 00:32:33.779 --> 00:32:36.539 it to this guy now this guy runs off with this 00:32:36.539 --> 00:32:38.960 diamond and he's running and he's in he's elated 00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:41.299 and he's so happy da da da da and he's you know 00:32:41.299 --> 00:32:43.559 he's doing the happy dance and all of a sudden 00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:47.720 he stops and he sits under a tree And he contemplates 00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:51.140 this, what just occurred for a few seconds. And 00:32:51.140 --> 00:32:54.059 then slowly he finds his way back to the mystic 00:32:54.059 --> 00:32:58.319 and he says, here, take it, take it back. Can 00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:01.480 you give me the riches that made it possible 00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:04.859 for you to give this away so freely? That's wealth. 00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:09.049 That's wealth. Yeah, and if people can remember 00:33:09.049 --> 00:33:11.509 that they will be the wealthiest. They are the 00:33:11.509 --> 00:33:14.329 wealthiest. We are the wealthiest We have everything 00:33:14.329 --> 00:33:18.490 we have come equipped with everything. The kingdom 00:33:18.490 --> 00:33:21.569 is right here. You got to acknowledge it So yeah, 00:33:21.569 --> 00:33:23.329 that's how I'd answer some of the money stuff 00:33:23.329 --> 00:33:25.630 But I have a whole chapter dedicated to money 00:33:25.630 --> 00:33:28.150 in my second book because I love it so much It's 00:33:28.150 --> 00:33:31.509 like such a juicy thing to play with. So yeah, 00:33:31.509 --> 00:33:36.390 I'm into it I love the words that you're using. 00:33:36.509 --> 00:33:39.750 First of all, a juicy relationship with money. 00:33:40.470 --> 00:33:47.210 Let's have it. But the way that you explain it 00:33:47.210 --> 00:33:50.950 is so, I love that story. Because it is like, 00:33:51.170 --> 00:33:54.049 it's an identity almost, and you have to really, 00:33:54.269 --> 00:33:57.930 and it's remembering that you are the source 00:33:57.930 --> 00:34:01.769 of what's happening around you. And if you're 00:34:01.769 --> 00:34:03.509 not having a great relationship with money, it's 00:34:03.509 --> 00:34:10.550 internal. So how does someone really check with 00:34:10.550 --> 00:34:14.429 themselves as far as identity is concerned internally 00:34:14.429 --> 00:34:19.849 and really start to begin to work with what's 00:34:19.849 --> 00:34:22.090 going on internally because everything that's 00:34:22.090 --> 00:34:25.570 external comes from what's going on within. And 00:34:25.570 --> 00:34:29.050 if they don't, if we don't connect with what's 00:34:29.050 --> 00:34:31.469 internal, we'll never really get to the level 00:34:31.469 --> 00:34:35.360 that we want to. of what we're wanting to create 00:34:35.360 --> 00:34:37.219 for our future. Here on the Thriveville journey, 00:34:37.460 --> 00:34:40.719 we talk a lot about not just surviving, but thriving. 00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:43.860 And a big part of that for me has been understanding 00:34:43.860 --> 00:34:46.820 my health on a deeper level. That's why I partnered 00:34:46.820 --> 00:34:49.320 with Livegood and brought it under my company, 00:34:49.659 --> 00:34:51.860 Orion's Health.

And I know what it feels 00:35:03.329 --> 00:35:06.690 like when your body's working against you.

The links are in the show notes. 00:36:00.889 --> 00:36:03.670 Now tap in and take your next step toward thriving. 00:36:05.090 --> 00:36:09.659 Yeah. Well, one of the simplest ways. So I I 00:36:09.659 --> 00:36:11.960 always tell people right like meditation is not 00:36:11.960 --> 00:36:15.079 about sitting cross legged and holding a mudra 00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:18.000 and chanting a mantra, you know, meditation at 00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:22.280 its root is like dancing with life. Okay. So 00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:24.559 when you're dancing with what's happening right 00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:26.920 now, when you decide to take it on as almost 00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:29.800 a dance partner, that's when you're in a meditative 00:36:29.800 --> 00:36:33.099 state. Now there are some very, very simple ways 00:36:33.099 --> 00:36:36.679 to start accessing this and I love to tell people 00:36:37.099 --> 00:36:40.219 My two favorite meditations are laughing and 00:36:40.219 --> 00:36:45.860 yawning. So both of these will start to create 00:36:45.860 --> 00:36:50.019 a whole host of like neuro chemical messengers 00:36:50.019 --> 00:36:52.340 like flooding your bloodstream that really help 00:36:52.340 --> 00:36:54.480 you again with your creativity and your ability 00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:57.300 to just like get with it and dance in these ways 00:36:57.300 --> 00:37:01.679 that we're talking about. And also really all 00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:05.269 you got to do is kind of lay down. lie down and 00:37:05.269 --> 00:37:07.429 people will discount this all the time and they'll 00:37:07.429 --> 00:37:09.050 tell me I'm not gonna just go lie down in the 00:37:09.050 --> 00:37:10.769 middle of the day and I'll tell them look if 00:37:10.769 --> 00:37:13.469 you think you can't lie down please I beg of 00:37:13.469 --> 00:37:16.210 you lie down a lot longer than you would you 00:37:16.210 --> 00:37:17.769 know so if you think you don't have five minutes 00:37:17.769 --> 00:37:20.550 take an hour which is kind of from the Dalai 00:37:20.550 --> 00:37:22.110 Lama when he was talking about meditation but 00:37:22.110 --> 00:37:24.269 just go lie down because when you do that when 00:37:24.269 --> 00:37:26.369 you get horizontal like that what happens is 00:37:26.369 --> 00:37:28.289 your brainwave frequencies start to kind of shift 00:37:28.289 --> 00:37:31.389 on their own and you're gonna have access you're 00:37:31.389 --> 00:37:33.369 gonna start to have more access so you don't 00:37:33.369 --> 00:37:36.710 need to start all this regimented meditation 00:37:36.710 --> 00:37:40.050 time breath work all the things just go lie down 00:37:40.050 --> 00:37:41.929 when you feel like you're spinning again think 00:37:41.929 --> 00:37:43.869 about that little kid that we talked about before 00:37:43.869 --> 00:37:45.849 when you just take him in your arms and you say 00:37:45.849 --> 00:37:48.139 it's all right It's all right. I love you. Let's 00:37:48.139 --> 00:37:50.559 chill out for a second. It could be three minutes. 00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:52.679 It could be five minutes. When you notice that 00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:54.679 it starts to calm a little bit, that's when you're 00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:56.579 ready for action again. That's when something 00:37:56.579 --> 00:37:58.880 can come through you that is actually not going 00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:01.820 to create more mud, but it's going to come in 00:38:01.820 --> 00:38:04.039 with more clarity and you're going to start moving 00:38:04.039 --> 00:38:06.340 closer to what it is that you want instead of 00:38:06.340 --> 00:38:08.480 further away, which is what happens when people 00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:11.619 are in a spin. You know, I love that there's 00:38:11.619 --> 00:38:15.320 that line. Look at the look at the what how does 00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:17.900 it go the violet or the daisies how they neither 00:38:17.900 --> 00:38:20.380 toil nor spin, right? It's like they're growing 00:38:20.380 --> 00:38:22.760 but they're not they're not all anxious about 00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:24.860 it. They're not freaking out about it. It's just 00:38:24.860 --> 00:38:27.500 their nature. So when you relax into it, it's 00:38:27.500 --> 00:38:30.059 like it's your nature to be abundant. It's your 00:38:30.059 --> 00:38:32.820 nature to be able to experience what you want 00:38:32.820 --> 00:38:34.579 through the form, right? Because the formless 00:38:34.579 --> 00:38:38.139 came to express through the form. So you start 00:38:38.139 --> 00:38:41.530 to just relax into it. That's when all these 00:38:41.530 --> 00:38:45.489 potentials start to open up to you. Yes, potentials, 00:38:45.489 --> 00:38:51.889 possibilities, they're there. And as a founder, 00:38:52.630 --> 00:38:55.849 CEO, or whatever, like this is, would you say 00:38:55.849 --> 00:38:58.550 that this is a good way to really answer some, 00:38:58.690 --> 00:39:01.110 maybe some of the questions that or issues that 00:39:01.110 --> 00:39:03.190 people may be coming up with in their business 00:39:03.190 --> 00:39:07.570 or in their life, just to do that practice? Absolutely. 00:39:07.849 --> 00:39:10.300 And people will discount it. They will discount 00:39:10.300 --> 00:39:13.699 it. And I find that to be it's so beautiful. 00:39:14.699 --> 00:39:18.000 Da Vinci, he hasn't been known to have said that 00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:21.059 simplicity is the ultimate sophistication and 00:39:21.059 --> 00:39:23.480 people want to go and they want to complicate. 00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:27.320 Yeah. And people want to complicate my the first 00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:30.449 business I started here. It was a Over a decade 00:39:30.449 --> 00:39:32.590 ago, I started a business called Sustainability 00:39:32.590 --> 00:39:34.889 Simplicated because I was like, it's the opposite 00:39:34.889 --> 00:39:38.190 of complicated. And I thought all the Excel file 00:39:38.190 --> 00:39:40.530 terrorism that was happening was a bit extreme. 00:39:40.530 --> 00:39:42.750 And I was like, it could be a lot simpler than 00:39:42.750 --> 00:39:49.530 this to live healthy, to live well. And so I 00:39:49.530 --> 00:39:51.329 started really getting on about simple. And that's 00:39:51.329 --> 00:39:53.469 the thing. People will discount it and they'll 00:39:53.469 --> 00:39:56.110 move on to the next thing. When you do that, 00:39:56.130 --> 00:39:58.320 you do that at your peril. people are always 00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:00.480 like next next next looking for something but 00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:03.000 when you actually stop and you say it's a lot 00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:05.579 simpler let me just calm down let me relax for 00:40:05.579 --> 00:40:08.119 a moment let me take a beat exactly the same 00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:10.219 way you do with the kid because that's our nature 00:40:10.219 --> 00:40:14.219 we spin out so something's got to bring us back 00:40:14.219 --> 00:40:17.260 in so when we come back in and again you don't 00:40:17.260 --> 00:40:19.239 need to do this some complicated practice just 00:40:19.239 --> 00:40:22.099 go lie down i go lie down i get some of the most 00:40:22.099 --> 00:40:25.280 really astonishing things come through me when 00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:28.849 i lie down i dictate a bunch of stuff. I dictated 00:40:28.849 --> 00:40:31.630 a lot from my second book. I dictate when I get, 00:40:31.630 --> 00:40:34.030 you know, press queries. I'll do this when I 00:40:34.030 --> 00:40:36.230 have client summaries that I'm forming because 00:40:36.230 --> 00:40:39.449 I know the best stuff comes to me. My brain is 00:40:39.449 --> 00:40:42.809 like AI magnified by I don't even know how much 00:40:42.809 --> 00:40:45.650 when I just laid down, when I just get horizontal 00:40:45.650 --> 00:40:49.469 and I start to just let what's meant to come 00:40:49.469 --> 00:40:51.769 through in that relaxed state come through. So 00:40:51.769 --> 00:40:55.440 I work with the You know top ceos top athletes 00:40:55.440 --> 00:40:58.079 celebrities and I will tell them the same thing 00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:00.780 like look I know it sounds simple Let's give 00:41:00.780 --> 00:41:04.480 it a shot for a month or however long you want 00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:06.480 to you know Just set a timer on your phone and 00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:08.980 every once in a while go go get horizontal or 00:41:08.980 --> 00:41:10.719 when you feel yourself spinning get horizontal 00:41:10.719 --> 00:41:14.760 and again What what happens when we do that is 00:41:14.760 --> 00:41:19.880 nothing short of astonishing? Yeah. Yeah um as 00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:24.460 an as an actor um one of the the biggest things 00:41:24.460 --> 00:41:28.760 for me in my practice and even when i was um 00:41:28.760 --> 00:41:32.780 when i was running track and field um i would 00:41:32.780 --> 00:41:37.440 really need to calm myself down and really get 00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:41.440 still and quiet you know both of those like running 00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:43.920 track and feel like you run i'm running for for 00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:47.360 one race what 19 seconds, 20 seconds. Another 00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:50.280 race, I'm running, what, 10 seconds? But in that 00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:52.760 10 seconds, before that 10 seconds, rather, like 00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:56.619 I had to calm down. I played my music, oh, my 00:41:56.619 --> 00:42:01.000 music, my favorite music. That has to be a new 00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:04.400 word, that's a new word. I love that. Music? 00:42:04.820 --> 00:42:09.940 Hey, let's do it. Music, yeah. So I played my 00:42:09.940 --> 00:42:16.389 music and... I would get in this really almost 00:42:16.389 --> 00:42:20.510 trance state. Um and there was one time when 00:42:20.510 --> 00:42:24.869 I was uh I was running I think it was state or 00:42:24.869 --> 00:42:27.530 was going to state or qualify for state that 00:42:27.530 --> 00:42:30.250 I had a shin like a basically a fracture in my 00:42:30.250 --> 00:42:35.130 split my shin and I knew that there was pain 00:42:35.130 --> 00:42:38.190 there but I was like I'm running this race and 00:42:38.190 --> 00:42:43.710 so I got real quiet real still Had my music and 00:42:43.710 --> 00:42:48.650 just kind of relaxed. And I ran that race. It 00:42:48.650 --> 00:42:51.190 was, I think it was like my second fastest time, 00:42:51.269 --> 00:42:53.469 won the race. But right after the race, I mean, 00:42:53.510 --> 00:42:55.110 I couldn't feel it at all, right? But right after 00:42:55.110 --> 00:42:59.389 the race, I fell straight down. Because the pain 00:42:59.389 --> 00:43:04.090 was like, it got real. But I'm giving you all 00:43:04.090 --> 00:43:08.750 these examples because it really works. You know, 00:43:08.750 --> 00:43:12.739 it almost takes you to a different, like, atmosphere 00:43:12.739 --> 00:43:16.739 a different place and when you get to that place, 00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:19.900 there's so much creativity much like you really 00:43:19.900 --> 00:43:24.059 in an you're in an outer body experience and 00:43:24.059 --> 00:43:26.619 that can in that split in that place. You can 00:43:26.619 --> 00:43:29.940 get some things solved. You can get some answers. 00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:32.940 You know, you can you you can just move forward 00:43:32.940 --> 00:43:36.039 with clarity. Absolutely. I love that you're 00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:39.639 sharing this cuz Anyone listening has probably 00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:42.280 had something similar maybe not to that degree 00:43:42.280 --> 00:43:45.079 because being at that level and athleticism is 00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:47.880 something that few people get to experience but 00:43:47.880 --> 00:43:50.960 that moment where you sort of push through something 00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:54.219 and you think oh my gosh that wasn't it was like 00:43:54.219 --> 00:43:57.039 I was out of body almost I was just in a different 00:43:57.039 --> 00:43:59.260 this is the third and fourth way of getting ice 00:43:59.260 --> 00:44:03.050 cream my friend like this is this is it. the 00:44:03.050 --> 00:44:06.170 stillness is a prerequisite and anyone who has 00:44:06.170 --> 00:44:09.010 hit the highest levels of their game whatever 00:44:09.010 --> 00:44:12.929 their game is they know this they know stillness 00:44:12.929 --> 00:44:17.090 and then move and also by the way in that is 00:44:17.090 --> 00:44:21.449 stillness feel it like feel the thing feel what 00:44:21.449 --> 00:44:24.269 it is that you you're desiring because that again 00:44:24.269 --> 00:44:27.010 that's an evolutionary impulse so sometimes people 00:44:27.010 --> 00:44:29.659 talk about it like visioning And I think that's 00:44:29.659 --> 00:44:31.659 a bit misleading because it's not necessarily 00:44:31.659 --> 00:44:35.699 a visual. It is almost a it's almost like fireworks 00:44:35.699 --> 00:44:39.400 in your body. So when you get with the evolutionary 00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:41.400 impulse that you're wanting to feel, it's like, 00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:44.179 poof, all these fireworks going off. What's happening 00:44:44.179 --> 00:44:46.579 is there's a cellular activation. There's an 00:44:46.579 --> 00:44:50.679 alignment of inside of you. There is an alignment 00:44:50.679 --> 00:44:55.559 to that which you are wanting, craving to experience. 00:44:56.190 --> 00:44:59.829 And so if you can get into the stillness and 00:44:59.829 --> 00:45:04.070 feel that, and again, it's juicy, like feel the 00:45:04.070 --> 00:45:07.449 juiciness of, wow, this thing is available to 00:45:07.449 --> 00:45:10.769 me now. And that's actually why you could experience 00:45:10.769 --> 00:45:12.269 things that you're like, I don't even know how 00:45:12.269 --> 00:45:14.929 I did that because it was a part of you. Again, 00:45:15.050 --> 00:45:19.130 this intelligence that is almost acting on your 00:45:19.130 --> 00:45:22.010 behalf. It's almost acting on your behalf. So 00:45:22.010 --> 00:45:25.889 but it's you really getting with the the yumminess 00:45:25.889 --> 00:45:28.170 of it and I think that those are the pieces is 00:45:28.170 --> 00:45:30.929 like get still get with the yumminess of what 00:45:30.929 --> 00:45:32.969 you're of what you're feeling what you're calling 00:45:32.969 --> 00:45:35.989 into your field at this at any given moment and 00:45:35.989 --> 00:45:39.250 then just relax know that you can you don't have 00:45:39.250 --> 00:45:41.889 to figure that out there's something deeper inside 00:45:41.889 --> 00:45:46.170 of you that's figuring it out yeah yeah there's 00:45:46.170 --> 00:45:49.289 a lot of things working all the time and we don't 00:45:49.289 --> 00:45:52.170 necessarily need to know that all the things 00:45:52.170 --> 00:45:56.000 are working all the time You know, we just do 00:45:56.000 --> 00:45:59.980 our part and in that there is a little thing 00:45:59.980 --> 00:46:04.179 that kind of messes us up is I would say I would 00:46:04.179 --> 00:46:07.119 say that we kind of slip into an old nervous 00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:11.519 system the old identity and we do a thing that 00:46:11.519 --> 00:46:16.960 I lived by for a long time which was which was 00:46:16.960 --> 00:46:21.300 self -sabotage, right? you may tap into what 00:46:21.300 --> 00:46:24.099 we're talking about and you feel that and you 00:46:24.099 --> 00:46:27.559 know you want you know there's a like a desire 00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:29.940 to want that over and over again but then there's 00:46:29.940 --> 00:46:32.539 then you're then you kind of slip out and you 00:46:32.539 --> 00:46:35.820 start to sabotage yourself and um i had a question 00:46:35.820 --> 00:46:37.820 here i don't know what the question was but basically 00:46:37.820 --> 00:46:42.880 how can someone like really expand their inner 00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:47.920 capacity so that when that saboteur self shows 00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:53.030 up that they like say, you know what, I acknowledge 00:46:53.030 --> 00:46:56.769 you, I see you, but this is what this future, 00:46:56.809 --> 00:46:58.789 this thing that has really called me forward, 00:46:59.349 --> 00:47:01.210 this life where I get to connect to something 00:47:01.210 --> 00:47:04.150 bigger than myself, that's what I want. I don't 00:47:04.150 --> 00:47:06.590 want this sabotage. I want this other thing. 00:47:08.650 --> 00:47:12.329 The question seems to lie in the answer. Or the 00:47:12.329 --> 00:47:14.309 answer, sorry, it seems to lie in the question. 00:47:15.250 --> 00:47:18.090 When I hear you, it's like your answer is in 00:47:18.090 --> 00:47:22.190 your question, which is expanding, expanding 00:47:22.190 --> 00:47:26.329 enough to hold everything that you're ready to 00:47:26.329 --> 00:47:31.190 hold. And what that means is you welcome all 00:47:31.190 --> 00:47:35.869 of it. You relax and you welcome all of it. Without 00:47:35.869 --> 00:47:39.510 labels without so lots of times to we say stuff 00:47:39.510 --> 00:47:43.469 like self -sabotage or we say We're feeling insecure 00:47:43.469 --> 00:47:46.949 or we say we're feeling jealous or we say all 00:47:46.949 --> 00:47:50.150 these things right, but those are mental constructs 00:47:50.150 --> 00:47:52.989 Okay, they don't really exist in the body. What 00:47:52.989 --> 00:47:56.690 is happening in your body? Okay, is that there's 00:47:56.690 --> 00:48:00.010 some stuff happening? Right, there's some things 00:48:00.010 --> 00:48:02.849 happening in your body. And so if you can like 00:48:02.849 --> 00:48:06.269 get with oh wow i'm feeling this thing and instead 00:48:06.269 --> 00:48:09.409 of it being a label that i'm sabotaging and i 00:48:09.409 --> 00:48:11.809 don't want that or whatever welcome all of it 00:48:11.809 --> 00:48:14.289 almost like the way you would for instance you 00:48:14.289 --> 00:48:17.389 don't see a i mean maybe some people do this 00:48:17.389 --> 00:48:20.289 is the irony of being human but when you see 00:48:20.289 --> 00:48:23.070 a storm come in right you don't say oh nope nope 00:48:23.070 --> 00:48:27.699 nope that no go go go back retreat You're not 00:48:27.699 --> 00:48:30.420 welcome here. Like, some people might do that, 00:48:30.579 --> 00:48:32.219 okay, but mostly we're just like, oh, it's a 00:48:32.219 --> 00:48:35.510 storm. Okay, cool. It's gonna feed. Some of the 00:48:35.510 --> 00:48:38.110 life around here. It's going to freshen up the 00:48:38.110 --> 00:48:40.309 air It's going to do all this stuff like we just 00:48:40.309 --> 00:48:42.730 welcome it in and we say okay storm do your thing 00:48:42.730 --> 00:48:43.929 and the next thing you're like Well, it'd be 00:48:43.929 --> 00:48:45.730 nice to have the sun back sun comes back, right? 00:48:45.750 --> 00:48:49.269 But all of those elements are welcome because 00:48:49.269 --> 00:48:53.110 they're all a vital part of this of this ecosystem 00:48:53.110 --> 00:48:56.610 Same way in you there's stuff going down and 00:48:56.610 --> 00:48:58.530 it's just like oh, that's interesting. That's 00:48:58.530 --> 00:49:01.369 happening I'm feeling this thing when we welcome 00:49:01.369 --> 00:49:05.800 all of it. We start to expand the vessel to receive 00:49:05.800 --> 00:49:09.420 even more. When we say, nope, nope, not that 00:49:09.420 --> 00:49:13.659 thing. Like not allowed. Okay. That's when we 00:49:13.659 --> 00:49:18.139 contract and we, we diminish the size of our 00:49:18.139 --> 00:49:22.320 capacity to hold. So my invitation, you know, 00:49:22.380 --> 00:49:25.059 for anyone wondering about this is let's just 00:49:25.059 --> 00:49:28.519 relax around the whatever we want to call it, 00:49:28.519 --> 00:49:32.400 you know, sabotage, all the things like What's 00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:34.239 actually happening in your body? So I'll ask 00:49:34.239 --> 00:49:37.159 you right now Michael when you say you've you've 00:49:37.159 --> 00:49:39.179 been in this cycle of self You called it self 00:49:39.179 --> 00:49:42.420 -sabotage Do you know right now? Can you feel 00:49:42.420 --> 00:49:44.199 where that resides like you're probably not feeling 00:49:44.199 --> 00:49:46.380 at this moment? But do you know what it feels 00:49:46.380 --> 00:49:48.360 like in your body when you're feeling it? What 00:49:48.360 --> 00:49:50.460 does it feel like? I don't know if I feel it 00:49:50.460 --> 00:49:53.420 right away I think I feel it after maybe things 00:49:53.420 --> 00:49:57.059 because I look back I'm like, oh Okay Well, what 00:49:57.059 --> 00:49:59.579 do you feel? So maybe I would invite you, even 00:49:59.579 --> 00:50:01.400 if you feel comfortable closing your eyes or 00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:03.000 whatever, if that doesn't feel comfortable, that's 00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:06.559 fine too. But just considering, okay, when I 00:50:06.559 --> 00:50:09.380 feel self -sabotage, where is it in my body? 00:50:09.900 --> 00:50:16.380 This thing I call self -sabotage. It may be like 00:50:16.380 --> 00:50:21.079 somewhere in the gut. I don't know. Somewhere 00:50:21.079 --> 00:50:24.219 in the gut maybe. So next time you're feeling 00:50:24.219 --> 00:50:26.659 something that you're calling self -sabotage 00:50:26.659 --> 00:50:30.000 notice like there's actually a physical sensation 00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:34.500 that's accompanying the mental swirl. Okay, and 00:50:34.500 --> 00:50:37.260 if you can notice it and really get with it and 00:50:37.260 --> 00:50:39.380 dance with it the way we talked about when we 00:50:39.380 --> 00:50:42.219 said what meditation is like a dance with everything 00:50:42.219 --> 00:50:45.840 that is if you can just invite it almost as a 00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:47.880 partner almost as someone that you're saying 00:50:47.880 --> 00:50:53.280 hey come on over like The party hasn't been complete 00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:55.519 without you. We got a miscreant. Let's see what's 00:50:55.519 --> 00:50:57.179 going on. What are you going to bring to this? 00:50:57.320 --> 00:50:59.239 What are you going to bring to this dance? That's 00:50:59.239 --> 00:51:03.139 when your whole show gets more interesting. Your 00:51:03.139 --> 00:51:06.139 whole show because you're not kicking it out. 00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:08.260 You're not trying to hide it. You're not stuffing 00:51:08.260 --> 00:51:11.340 it in the back closet. You will not come out. 00:51:11.639 --> 00:51:14.320 You are saying, hey, this is an interesting character. 00:51:14.619 --> 00:51:17.039 Same way as if you were watching a movie, right? 00:51:17.079 --> 00:51:19.099 You're an actor. So you know exactly what I'm 00:51:19.099 --> 00:51:22.900 talking about. You don't say you don't say, oh, 00:51:23.019 --> 00:51:25.320 that you get rid of that character that's an 00:51:25.320 --> 00:51:28.780 antagonist. We only want protagonists here because 00:51:28.780 --> 00:51:31.739 you wouldn't want to watch that movie. You would 00:51:31.739 --> 00:51:33.599 invite it because you'd be like, oh, that's interesting. 00:51:33.940 --> 00:51:39.019 How is the antagonist going to mold the protagonist 00:51:39.019 --> 00:51:42.380 to something great? That's what you're wondering. 00:51:42.619 --> 00:51:45.059 And it's the same way with these things that 00:51:45.059 --> 00:51:47.320 we call by many different names. They are like 00:51:47.320 --> 00:51:50.820 a storm coming in that will nourish, that will 00:51:50.820 --> 00:51:53.599 regenerate, that will serve as almost a compost 00:51:53.599 --> 00:51:56.619 for a new life. So welcome it and be like, hey, 00:51:56.760 --> 00:51:58.940 what's going on? Notice where you're feeling 00:51:58.940 --> 00:52:01.599 it. And it'll start to alchemize. It'll start 00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:04.619 to shape you into the you you have decided to 00:52:04.619 --> 00:52:09.780 become. We just say when you're not noticing 00:52:09.780 --> 00:52:15.190 it. acknowledging it, acknowledging it and allowing 00:52:15.190 --> 00:52:18.630 it to show up. Would you say that's kind of where 00:52:18.630 --> 00:52:21.409 a little breath work would kind of help you through 00:52:21.409 --> 00:52:26.349 the situation? Potentially, I think breath work 00:52:26.349 --> 00:52:31.230 can be a bit almost like again another thing 00:52:31.230 --> 00:52:35.010 that we think we have to do. What I'm suggesting 00:52:35.010 --> 00:52:38.190 is the opposite is like There's nothing you have 00:52:38.190 --> 00:52:41.489 to do. Literally get horizontal and just notice. 00:52:42.030 --> 00:52:44.289 Everything will shift if you start to have the 00:52:44.289 --> 00:52:49.769 courage to do that. Just lay down and just be 00:52:49.769 --> 00:52:54.389 with it. Breathwork, I feel that there is a place 00:52:54.389 --> 00:52:56.909 for breathwork. I feel especially for people 00:52:56.909 --> 00:52:59.769 who experience apnea a lot, which is a lot of 00:52:59.769 --> 00:53:01.949 people out there, a lot of people who are holding 00:53:01.949 --> 00:53:04.170 their breath, a lot of people who are accessory 00:53:04.170 --> 00:53:07.559 breathing. If you don't know how to breathe from 00:53:07.559 --> 00:53:10.300 your diaphragm, if you don't know how to fill 00:53:10.300 --> 00:53:13.860 all that up around just your everything like 00:53:13.860 --> 00:53:16.219 a tire around the whole bottom part of your body, 00:53:16.639 --> 00:53:19.659 you're not getting enough oxygen. If you're not 00:53:19.659 --> 00:53:21.639 getting enough oxygen, breath work can be a way 00:53:21.639 --> 00:53:23.460 to start getting enough oxygen. What happens 00:53:23.460 --> 00:53:25.739 when you do that is again, you start to access 00:53:25.739 --> 00:53:28.699 different frequencies. Great thing. But all I'm 00:53:28.699 --> 00:53:30.980 talking about is like, hey, you're watching a 00:53:30.980 --> 00:53:35.929 movie and You want the best movie, right? The 00:53:35.929 --> 00:53:38.150 best movie has all the characters and you're 00:53:38.150 --> 00:53:41.690 all the characters So you get to witness all 00:53:41.690 --> 00:53:44.309 of them and you get to kind of enjoy the playing 00:53:44.309 --> 00:53:48.750 out of where you're going next Yeah You get to 00:53:48.750 --> 00:53:56.289 enjoy the playing out you know That's like the 00:53:56.289 --> 00:54:00.650 best advice is like when all that stuff comes 00:54:00.650 --> 00:54:03.949 up Like there's like don't fight against it. 00:54:03.949 --> 00:54:09.309 Just notice it and just do nothing Just do nothing 00:54:09.309 --> 00:54:14.389 I Think that like like so because it's like a 00:54:14.389 --> 00:54:21.010 battle that you probably won't win anyway Yeah 00:54:21.010 --> 00:54:30.110 So this whole like this will show in January 00:54:30.320 --> 00:54:36.579 right 2026 January new year new you you know 00:54:36.579 --> 00:54:40.860 um that whole uh new year's resolution thing 00:54:40.860 --> 00:54:45.219 I'm I don't subscribe to but what I do love is 00:54:45.219 --> 00:54:47.780 that you know my birthday is on January 31st 00:54:47.780 --> 00:54:51.920 so that's when I realign I look at you know what's 00:54:51.920 --> 00:54:54.820 going on with my life and how I want to carry 00:54:54.820 --> 00:54:57.800 out the rest of my year or what I call my cycle 00:54:57.800 --> 00:55:03.789 um And this is like you're one of the four that's 00:55:03.789 --> 00:55:08.449 in the January series of becoming the Align U 00:55:08.449 --> 00:55:11.670 in 2026. Not New Year, not you, but becoming 00:55:11.670 --> 00:55:15.309 the Align U in 2026. And the question I have 00:55:15.309 --> 00:55:18.690 is, if someone committed to like the inner practice 00:55:18.690 --> 00:55:20.869 and the things that we're talking about in 2026, 00:55:21.989 --> 00:55:26.489 what would you recommend? I may know what you're 00:55:26.489 --> 00:55:30.369 about to say, rather. What would you invite them 00:55:30.369 --> 00:55:35.050 to do over the next 12 months really to become 00:55:35.050 --> 00:55:37.969 the person that they know that they can become 00:55:37.969 --> 00:55:43.389 in the new cycle of their life? Put me on the 00:55:43.389 --> 00:55:52.099 spot, Michael. All right. So first thing. First 00:55:52.099 --> 00:55:54.840 thing I would say from that is I love and I'm 00:55:54.840 --> 00:55:56.360 gonna take it a different drug Just cuz you think 00:55:56.360 --> 00:55:58.039 you know where I'm gonna go. I might just go 00:55:58.039 --> 00:56:07.059 somewhere else All right, so Alignment alignment 00:56:07.059 --> 00:56:09.420 what comes up for me when I hear that is the 00:56:09.420 --> 00:56:15.320 power of aligning people miss this a lot because 00:56:15.320 --> 00:56:17.659 Again, they think it's something they need to 00:56:17.659 --> 00:56:22.070 go out and do But really it's a question of marshaling 00:56:22.070 --> 00:56:27.269 your energy in a specific direction Okay, so 00:56:27.269 --> 00:56:30.690 think of it like a magnet, okay a magnet is a 00:56:30.690 --> 00:56:33.789 magnet because all the particles in that substance 00:56:33.789 --> 00:56:38.130 are Aligned and facing a single direction if 00:56:38.130 --> 00:56:41.730 you took that same substance and you mixed around 00:56:41.730 --> 00:56:44.630 the particles Okay, you disperse the particles. 00:56:44.630 --> 00:56:49.750 It is no longer a magnet. Okay, so In the very 00:56:49.750 --> 00:56:54.250 same way, we act as magnets when our particles, 00:56:54.409 --> 00:56:58.769 in other words, when our consciousness is is 00:56:58.769 --> 00:57:02.949 shaped and is facing a specific direction, a 00:57:02.949 --> 00:57:05.909 specific probability outcome or amplitude in 00:57:05.909 --> 00:57:10.250 the field. OK, so first and foremost, get that 00:57:10.250 --> 00:57:15.170 get that basic, basic understanding is that if 00:57:15.170 --> 00:57:19.739 my. If my energy is dispersed, if it is fragmented, 00:57:20.420 --> 00:57:23.179 I will be fragmented. My results will be fragmented. 00:57:23.280 --> 00:57:27.480 They will not carry the same gravitas or gravitas. 00:57:28.039 --> 00:57:30.920 OK, so that's the first thing to get is, all 00:57:30.920 --> 00:57:33.860 right, I'm feeling some potentials. I'm feeling 00:57:33.860 --> 00:57:36.500 into them. They feel exciting for me. I'm going 00:57:36.500 --> 00:57:40.059 to focus my energy on those probability amplitudes 00:57:40.059 --> 00:57:42.699 in an infinite sea. of probability amplitudes, 00:57:42.739 --> 00:57:45.840 I'm gonna choose those ones, okay? Not because 00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:49.000 I'm after a certain material outcome, per se, 00:57:49.380 --> 00:57:53.239 but because I am feeling the juiciness of that 00:57:53.239 --> 00:57:55.559 evolutionary impulse that is coursing through 00:57:55.559 --> 00:57:58.679 me. Okay, that's number one. Does that make sense? 00:57:59.179 --> 00:58:02.840 Before I move on? It does make sense. And I had 00:58:02.840 --> 00:58:04.460 no idea that you're gonna go there, so perfect. 00:58:04.639 --> 00:58:06.880 I know, I gotta surprise you, man. The minute 00:58:06.880 --> 00:58:08.239 someone says they know where I'm going, I'm like, 00:58:08.260 --> 00:58:10.500 all right, all right, spirit. Take a different 00:58:10.500 --> 00:58:15.460 route. All right. So so that's first is is aligning. 00:58:15.460 --> 00:58:18.019 OK, so let's, you know, take let's build off 00:58:18.019 --> 00:58:21.219 of your words, aligning, aligned and aligned 00:58:21.219 --> 00:58:23.920 you in twenty twenty six. The other thing I'd 00:58:23.920 --> 00:58:27.480 have to say is you got to give up who you been. 00:58:27.760 --> 00:58:31.440 You have got to give up who you have been. You 00:58:31.440 --> 00:58:35.320 have to be willing to do that. Now, it was William 00:58:35.320 --> 00:58:37.559 Blake, I believe, who said something along the 00:58:37.559 --> 00:58:42.699 lines of Most men die, but once and their friends 00:58:42.699 --> 00:58:46.300 never live never are around to see their resurrection 00:58:46.300 --> 00:58:49.500 and William Blake was talking from the perspective 00:58:49.500 --> 00:58:52.079 of someone who had died many times while he was 00:58:52.079 --> 00:58:55.840 living and his friends had seen his rebirth I 00:58:55.840 --> 00:58:57.760 know my life is like that. I was talking to a 00:58:57.760 --> 00:58:59.480 friend today. She's like, I don't know how many 00:58:59.480 --> 00:59:03.030 lifetimes you lived in this life girl and I said 00:59:03.030 --> 00:59:06.010 yep mm -hmm I've lived lots of lifetimes in this 00:59:06.010 --> 00:59:08.670 life and it was the courage to be in that white 00:59:08.670 --> 00:59:10.869 fire that you and I talked about last time of 00:59:10.869 --> 00:59:13.630 being like I'm gonna blow this phoenix up I don't 00:59:13.630 --> 00:59:15.010 know what's gonna happen but I'm ready to blow 00:59:15.010 --> 00:59:18.030 it up if you are at a point when you step into 00:59:18.030 --> 00:59:21.530 2026 they're like something's got to blow up 00:59:21.530 --> 00:59:25.489 then re -listen to this re -listen to this because 00:59:25.489 --> 00:59:27.630 all the answers for blowing it up they're in 00:59:27.630 --> 00:59:29.849 this show they're in what we just shared with 00:59:29.849 --> 00:59:32.159 each other So you you got to be willing to blow 00:59:32.159 --> 00:59:34.659 it up. You got to be willing to align to a new 00:59:34.659 --> 00:59:39.219 potential Okay, and in all of that, let's go 00:59:39.219 --> 00:59:41.199 back because maybe this is part of this is where 00:59:41.199 --> 00:59:43.340 you thought I was gonna go You got to learn how 00:59:43.340 --> 00:59:46.940 to relax around how it's gonna happen Just chill 00:59:46.940 --> 00:59:50.559 out be like I trust the same power that is beating 00:59:50.559 --> 00:59:55.099 my heart. I trust the same power that is swirling 00:59:55.099 --> 00:59:58.860 us around on a ball of dust in what appears to 00:59:58.860 --> 01:00:03.579 be infinite space okay I trust that same that 01:00:03.579 --> 01:00:06.639 same organizing principle I trust that there 01:00:06.639 --> 01:00:09.400 is a cosmos in the chaos and that I can lean 01:00:09.400 --> 01:00:13.380 into it and that I can use my free will for how 01:00:13.380 --> 01:00:16.860 I marshal my attention and my intention in other 01:00:16.860 --> 01:00:22.800 words how I place and align my particles to that 01:00:22.800 --> 01:00:26.599 which is coursing through me as a an evolutionary 01:00:26.599 --> 01:00:29.300 impulse that wants to be expressed through my 01:00:29.300 --> 01:00:36.599 specific form. Voilà, c 'est tout. Okay, voila. 01:00:37.079 --> 01:00:42.760 I mean, okay, first of all, I can see why you 01:00:42.760 --> 01:00:47.920 are, you know, in demand and like, in your field 01:00:47.920 --> 01:00:49.980 and what you do, like you just let loose and 01:00:49.980 --> 01:00:53.710 that really that was like, really transcendental 01:00:53.710 --> 01:00:55.590 just listening to you even though you know we're 01:00:55.590 --> 01:00:57.289 having these little issues these little tech 01:00:57.289 --> 01:01:01.010 gremlins again but I caught all of that you know 01:01:01.010 --> 01:01:04.829 um you know one of our our logo is um for the 01:01:04.829 --> 01:01:10.289 travel journey is a phoenix and you you you know 01:01:10.289 --> 01:01:13.230 alluded to that a little bit but as you were 01:01:13.230 --> 01:01:15.550 saying all that I mean there was just that was 01:01:15.550 --> 01:01:18.630 that was clean it was clarity and it was very 01:01:18.630 --> 01:01:21.030 transformational Just in that. And like you said, 01:01:21.349 --> 01:01:23.909 if you're ready to blow something up, get back 01:01:23.909 --> 01:01:27.769 to this podcast and listen to Courtney and what 01:01:27.769 --> 01:01:33.650 both of us are sharing with each other. And within 01:01:33.650 --> 01:01:40.630 that, connect with Courtney. Because what you 01:01:40.630 --> 01:01:45.510 do, if I only experienced just a bit of it, man, 01:01:45.969 --> 01:01:48.369 those people that get to work with you, whew. 01:01:49.360 --> 01:01:54.860 Right like so I Mean, I'm going back to the 90s 01:01:54.860 --> 01:02:01.760 bomb calm Like really truly Really truly Bob 01:02:01.760 --> 01:02:07.320 calm You know We have to do this again. I mean 01:02:07.320 --> 01:02:10.920 honestly seriously we have to do this again and 01:02:10.920 --> 01:02:13.820 maybe from a different perspective, but you know, 01:02:14.500 --> 01:02:19.469 like when everything is like working well. But 01:02:19.469 --> 01:02:24.730 I think in this space, because of who you are 01:02:24.730 --> 01:02:27.190 and how you showed up and who I get to be because 01:02:27.190 --> 01:02:32.110 of that, this episode is probably one of the 01:02:32.110 --> 01:02:36.969 most powerful that I've experienced. And so first 01:02:36.969 --> 01:02:40.409 and foremost, thank you so much for being the 01:02:40.409 --> 01:02:42.989 person that you are in the world and how you're 01:02:42.989 --> 01:02:46.849 showing up for people and what you give. And 01:02:46.849 --> 01:02:51.150 thank you for just the presence that you continue 01:02:51.150 --> 01:02:55.409 to generate in the world because it's palpable. 01:02:55.869 --> 01:03:00.769 And I thank you. Thank you very, very much. And 01:03:00.769 --> 01:03:05.630 if people want to get in touch with you and really 01:03:05.630 --> 01:03:07.849 feel your energy and connect with you and the 01:03:07.849 --> 01:03:12.710 gifts that you have, how do you want them to 01:03:12.710 --> 01:03:16.579 do that? Well, first of all, thank you. I appreciate 01:03:16.579 --> 01:03:19.460 you so much. I Instantly felt with you. I was 01:03:19.460 --> 01:03:21.619 like, okay, there's a friend.
