WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.459 Before I get into the third entry called pushing 00:00:02.459 --> 00:00:05.299 away from the peer, I've been called to share 00:00:05.299 --> 00:00:07.879 from my heart a message I know many of you need 00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:10.720 to hear. We are indeed living in unique times 00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:13.619 and I know at times even taking a full breath 00:00:13.619 --> 00:00:16.460 takes effort and trust beyond what you feel you 00:00:16.460 --> 00:00:19.960 have available in the moment. But hear me, take 00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.140 that full breath. Be not in denial of what you 00:00:23.140 --> 00:00:25.559 see happening around you and at the same time 00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:29.199 be not afraid. I am one who is here to give you 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:32.219 access to the most powerful tools to work on 00:00:32.219 --> 00:00:35.679 any job or task put in your life, order, and 00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:39.340 change. Now let's carry on and get to today's 00:00:39.340 --> 00:00:42.539 entry, pushing away from the peer. Needless to 00:00:42.539 --> 00:00:46.060 say, walking away from 25 years in practice as 00:00:46.060 --> 00:00:48.880 a successful doctor and being a part of miracles 00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:52.520 on a daily basis to then close up a thriving 00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:54.880 wellness center that I was guided to create in 00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:58.640 a vision 17 years prior was just quite a step 00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.960 to take. But in reality, I knew it was the only 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.599 step to take. You see, I am first and foremost 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.780 a student of the practice of living and therefore 00:01:09.780 --> 00:01:12.379 the author of the book, The Practice. I always 00:01:12.379 --> 00:01:15.969 felt You can only teach what you know and live 00:01:15.969 --> 00:01:19.250 by embodying it and being willing to go into 00:01:19.250 --> 00:01:22.390 a life experience when called. You are then able 00:01:22.390 --> 00:01:25.549 to fully gain the knowledge, wisdom, and enlightenment 00:01:25.549 --> 00:01:28.250 needed to share that experience and what you've 00:01:28.250 --> 00:01:31.230 learned with others as well. You are then able 00:01:31.230 --> 00:01:34.010 to receive the full transformational value of 00:01:34.010 --> 00:01:36.790 the experience and what it has to offer in the 00:01:36.790 --> 00:01:39.530 moment. Finally, and this is very important, 00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:42.700 You also gain a level of compassionate awareness 00:01:42.700 --> 00:01:45.359 for what it is to go through what you are teaching 00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:47.879 others to consider and eventually go through 00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.579 themselves. I was always the first guinea pig 00:01:50.579 --> 00:01:53.200 in every experiment. and this experiment would 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.640 be no different. One of the many gifts of practicing 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:58.579 the practice was being able to use your intuition 00:01:58.579 --> 00:02:01.299 to navigate through your life experience and 00:02:01.299 --> 00:02:04.140 gain an awareness of the cycle of life and death 00:02:04.140 --> 00:02:06.900 that exists within a mortal lifetime. We can 00:02:06.900 --> 00:02:09.520 and do live many lives within a single mortal 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.719 lifetime. Intuition offers essential awareness 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.240 that guides you when to move on from something, 00:02:15.539 --> 00:02:18.219 someone, even many times a version of yourself 00:02:18.219 --> 00:02:21.219 that just needs to die so that a new version 00:02:21.219 --> 00:02:24.120 of you can be born and go forward, accessing 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:26.860 the true power of complete transformation. I 00:02:26.860 --> 00:02:29.580 would like to say this all comes about by free 00:02:29.580 --> 00:02:32.500 will and personal choices, but when you are really 00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:35.509 in sync with higher order, The order creates 00:02:35.509 --> 00:02:38.810 the choices you must accept as your own on many 00:02:38.810 --> 00:02:41.949 levels or resist and create a bottleneck in your 00:02:41.949 --> 00:02:44.849 being. I have been sensing the death of this 00:02:44.849 --> 00:02:48.150 doctor lifetime for quite some time. I knew it 00:02:48.150 --> 00:02:51.310 was coming. My practice allowed me to embrace 00:02:51.310 --> 00:02:53.969 the death of a reality on many levels and not 00:02:53.969 --> 00:02:57.400 run from it or avoid it. but go through it, embrace 00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.180 it, knowing that death is nothing but birth from 00:03:00.180 --> 00:03:02.840 the other side of the equation and life is eternal 00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:06.199 within the body and outside of it. Based on all 00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:09.219 of this, the adventure was much more about being 00:03:09.219 --> 00:03:12.439 born into something new than the fear of the 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.349 unknown and holding on to who and what. I once 00:03:15.349 --> 00:03:18.590 was. I experienced excitement and motivation 00:03:18.590 --> 00:03:21.770 to move forward, to be nothing but grateful for 00:03:21.770 --> 00:03:24.289 the past life that was shedding off of me, for 00:03:24.289 --> 00:03:27.490 all it had been and given me and others in all 00:03:27.490 --> 00:03:30.469 the beautiful work I had left behind in the lives 00:03:30.469 --> 00:03:34.650 that I had touched. You see, for me, being in 00:03:34.650 --> 00:03:37.490 practice as a doctor was always about the practice 00:03:37.490 --> 00:03:41.030 of living. It was all about the miracles, not 00:03:41.030 --> 00:03:44.270 the money. Sure, I received compensation for 00:03:44.270 --> 00:03:47.050 my time and talents, as anyone should, and the 00:03:47.050 --> 00:03:49.210 money allowed the Wellness Center that I had 00:03:49.210 --> 00:03:53.099 created to exist and serve many people. But all 00:03:53.099 --> 00:03:55.900 that being said, it was never what drove me. 00:03:56.020 --> 00:03:59.039 What drove me was my commitment and deep love 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.219 of the higher order within reality and the infinite 00:04:02.219 --> 00:04:04.900 possibilities that could become realities in 00:04:04.900 --> 00:04:07.919 people's lives and in life in general if the 00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.740 order was given a fair shot to exist over higher 00:04:10.740 --> 00:04:13.439 levels of chaos. As that beautiful order would 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.550 have it, an opportunity came into reality at 00:04:16.550 --> 00:04:18.790 just the right time to start an online version 00:04:18.790 --> 00:04:21.230 of my wellness center called Heart Healthy Homes 00:04:21.230 --> 00:04:24.269 and scale that vision into a virtual reality. 00:04:24.689 --> 00:04:27.089 Perfect. Heart Healthy Homes launching in late 00:04:27.089 --> 00:04:30.550 2019 allowed me to still pass on the wisdom I 00:04:30.550 --> 00:04:33.089 had gained over the years of being a doctor without 00:04:33.089 --> 00:04:35.730 the limitations of time and schedule, which were 00:04:35.730 --> 00:04:38.310 a part of the bottleneck of my being that I was 00:04:38.310 --> 00:04:40.750 facing was limiting me from serving on a larger 00:04:40.750 --> 00:04:43.199 scale. Heart Healthy Homes allowed me to support 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.879 my family financially and gave me the freedom 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.920 to delve deeper into the aspects of reality that 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:51.759 I was being drawn into in order to serve at scale. 00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.319 Along with the nonprofit, The Practice Heals, 00:04:54.620 --> 00:04:56.220 Heart Healthy Homes would be the brother and 00:04:56.220 --> 00:04:58.399 sister platforms that would carry on the work 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.000 I'd given my life to over the last 25 years. 00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.620 These two platforms would allow me to contribute 00:05:04.620 --> 00:05:07.540 to the holistic health of people, offering products, 00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:11.019 practices, and plans while continuing on my journey 00:05:11.019 --> 00:05:13.139 into the reasons for the bottleneck of our being. 00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:16.040 Discovering these bottlenecks was like being 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.000 an explorer, becoming unaware of a fountain of 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:21.199 youth, all the lives that could be improved, 00:05:21.300 --> 00:05:23.639 all the miracles that could become possible with 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.379 a higher order being able to continue with less 00:05:26.379 --> 00:05:28.660 resistance and interruption in people's lives. 00:05:28.899 --> 00:05:31.519 All that was left to do was to walk through this 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:33.959 doorway that was now open to me and discover 00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.360 the pearls of wisdom and insights that would 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:39.420 unlock a greater rate of change, and as a result, 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:42.000 greater potential of our own beings to serve 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.889 a higher order. higher purpose, and higher power. 00:05:45.170 --> 00:05:47.350 But what does one who goes on this type of adventure 00:05:47.350 --> 00:05:50.589 call themselves? Cosmic explorer of consciousness? 00:05:51.029 --> 00:05:54.430 Seeker? Sage? Delusional crazy person? Just kidding. 00:05:54.689 --> 00:05:56.610 I felt it would be helpful for the journey ahead 00:05:56.610 --> 00:05:59.689 if I had a word or words to describe the intention, 00:05:59.910 --> 00:06:02.550 represent the motivation, and capture the essence 00:06:02.550 --> 00:06:04.829 of what was happening and what I was giving my 00:06:04.829 --> 00:06:07.750 old life up to become and hopefully teach or 00:06:07.750 --> 00:06:10.439 better yet... just share with others. A doctor 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.160 just didn't resonate with this purpose. No position 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:15.939 of authority did. In the end, I settled on my 00:06:15.939 --> 00:06:18.500 given first name, just Keith, to start anyway. 00:06:18.819 --> 00:06:21.160 I had to laugh because my given first name in 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:23.480 this life is one of the most vanilla names you 00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.620 can have. One syllable most often heard by others 00:06:26.620 --> 00:06:29.480 is Steve, and having to be repeated with a stronger 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:32.939 emphasis on the drowning out even the faintest 00:06:32.939 --> 00:06:35.259 vowel sound that really goes against the rule 00:06:35.259 --> 00:06:38.300 of I before E except after C, so it's constantly 00:06:38.300 --> 00:06:42.160 misspelled. Isn't it just crazy how even my simple 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.160 one syllable name goes against the rule? It symbolizes 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.339 going against the rules that appear to govern 00:06:48.339 --> 00:06:51.399 us. It stands for something legitimate that goes 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:53.959 against the rule and is still correct in doing 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.620 so. All divinely chosen by life itself as the 00:06:56.620 --> 00:06:59.000 one syllable name that reminds most people my 00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.439 age anyway of a singer on the show The Partridge 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.579 Family, more than anything else. Well... maybe 00:07:04.579 --> 00:07:07.160 at least until now. Anyway, back to the recap. 00:07:07.339 --> 00:07:10.000 The stripping down and falling away of your old 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.300 identities. You never thought you could be anything 00:07:12.300 --> 00:07:14.860 without and that you have worked so hard to create 00:07:14.860 --> 00:07:17.160 as a part of the process of becoming a true servant. 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:20.420 You know, you must be willing to give up a lower 00:07:20.420 --> 00:07:22.980 power to accept a higher power. At the time, 00:07:23.100 --> 00:07:25.180 I was only able to see it as a part of what I 00:07:25.180 --> 00:07:28.040 called pushing away from the peer. And what I 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:30.410 mean by this phrase is this. Pushing away from 00:07:30.410 --> 00:07:33.069 the pier means you are willing to let go of everything 00:07:33.069 --> 00:07:35.189 that you're holding onto that keeps you in a 00:07:35.189 --> 00:07:38.550 certain space or place. You are willing to push 00:07:38.550 --> 00:07:41.370 away from what you think and currently believe 00:07:41.370 --> 00:07:44.209 is safe and venture down the river of a new life 00:07:44.209 --> 00:07:47.670 experience, exploring a huge ocean of possibility, 00:07:48.089 --> 00:07:51.170 not knowing what will happen or when. Now, by 00:07:51.170 --> 00:07:53.189 this time in my journey, I was no stranger to 00:07:53.189 --> 00:07:54.970 pushing away from the pier. And quite honestly, 00:07:55.290 --> 00:07:57.290 I had done it several times throughout my life. 00:07:57.370 --> 00:08:00.029 First, when I went to chiropractic college instead 00:08:00.029 --> 00:08:02.800 of medical school. Another instance was when 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:05.040 I transformed my traditional chiropractic practice 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.240 into a holistic health care practice. And you 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.220 know, and it should be noted that this was back 00:08:09.220 --> 00:08:12.560 in 1996 when people didn't even know what a holistic 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.100 doctor was. Yeah, we were all quacks and witch 00:08:15.100 --> 00:08:17.560 doctors and now the Cleveland Clinic calls it 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.779 functional medicine. It's funny anyway. But nonetheless, 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:23.399 I had gone through this before and I was quite 00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:25.639 practiced at the process at this point. I was 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:27.620 more than willing to go on the adventure yet 00:08:27.620 --> 00:08:29.620 again. After closing up the Wellness Center, 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:32.330 my first focus was to get my own life in greater 00:08:32.330 --> 00:08:34.950 order. And geez, I finally had time to address 00:08:34.950 --> 00:08:37.480 things that I needed to address in my life. I 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.539 cannot state the importance of this part of the 00:08:39.539 --> 00:08:42.059 process and how I was able to identify several 00:08:42.059 --> 00:08:44.840 of my own bottlenecks and beings just in resolving 00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.679 this past life, which I was unable to do previously 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:49.620 because I was spending so much time helping others 00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:51.559 get rid of their bottlenecks, in a funny way, 00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:54.059 I was unable to see some of my own. After several 00:08:54.059 --> 00:08:56.740 years of cleaning up my past life as a doctor, 00:08:56.940 --> 00:08:59.700 yeah, you heard me right, several years and getting 00:08:59.700 --> 00:09:02.879 my body and my mind recovered from being a doctor 00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:06.100 for 25 years, I was able to see a great deal 00:09:06.100 --> 00:09:08.539 more of the river that I was traveling down and 00:09:08.539 --> 00:09:11.019 the wide ocean ahead that awaited for me after 00:09:11.019 --> 00:09:13.399 the delta of change that led into that ocean. 00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:15.919 Traveling out into it and realizing the sheer 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.519 size of what was ahead was really a humbling 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.879 experience, but one that, through my day -to 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:23.179 -day practice and experience, gave me even more 00:09:23.179 --> 00:09:26.059 confidence in my ability to intuitively navigate 00:09:26.059 --> 00:09:28.639 and be guided on this amazing journey into the 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.580 vast space of reality ahead. I close this entry 00:09:31.580 --> 00:09:34.259 with shared wisdom on pushing away from the pure. 00:09:34.990 --> 00:09:37.750 Sometimes, old life gets stuck on you like the 00:09:37.750 --> 00:09:40.490 shedding skin of a snake. Don't be afraid to 00:09:40.490 --> 00:09:42.809 rub against the rocks of change to free it up, 00:09:43.070 --> 00:09:46.110 and free yourself from it. It's dead skin, and 00:09:46.110 --> 00:09:49.250 it will not serve you any longer. Until next 00:09:49.250 --> 00:09:50.950 time, I am Sovereign Soul.
