00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.040
Welcome back to Not Alone with Melissa Sue Methvin.
00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:11.919
Like always, I love to start with one hand on your heart and one hand on your belly and start breathing with me.
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:17.519
We're gonna start in through the nose and out through the nose.
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:19.359
You can start with me.
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:21.519
Inhale for three.
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.160
And exhale for five.
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:31.280
Let's do that a few more times.
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:33.679
Inhale through the nose.
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:39.439
And exhale through the nose.
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:44.399
Now that's better.
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:55.920
I always love to start where we can be in a heart coherence, calm our nervous system, because today's episode is gonna change the way you think.
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:57.359
Literally.
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:01.840
Have you ever hold on, hold on, cut it there.
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:11.519
Have you ever noticed how one thought can completely change how your body feels?
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:26.239
One memory pops up and your chest tightens, one worry, and your gut feels so nauseous, one fear, and your energy drops.
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:36.480
I have walked through grief, anxiety, inflammation, and healing, and I have learned something powerful.
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:45.280
Our thoughts are so connected to how our body feels and reacts.
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:51.760
Our thoughts speak to every cell of our body.
00:01:52.400 --> 00:02:02.879
Today's guest, Leah Lovio, works in that space with top thought leaders, doctors, celebrities.
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:19.360
She blends biology, beliefs, thoughts, all intertwined, interconnected, because that those are all so powerful for us to live in such vitality.
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:25.599
So I am honored to call her a friend, and she is here live today with me.
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:50.960
And this aligns so much with my book, The Truth Behind the Smiles and the Gut God Connection, because I talk about how suppressed emotions led me to have acid reflux, to have so many different kinds of ailments, and for my husband to suppress his emotions and die by suicide.
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:57.599
So as I got more curious, I realized how important our thoughts are.
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.719
And today I brought the number one expert.
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:05.520
She speaks all over the world on health platforms.
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:07.680
And I'm just deeply honored.
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.879
So welcome, Leah, for being here today.
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:12.960
I'm tremendously grateful.
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.240
Melissa, it's my pleasure to be here with you.
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:28.240
And, you know, I'm so grateful that the universe connected us and for the work that you're doing and how you turned your suffering into providing a blessing for the world.
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:50.560
And really, I feel that that is what it's all about, you know, where we can really use our own life to plant our little seeds of blessings and use our thoughts, our actions, and our words to really try to be a blessing in some way to the world that supports us, you know, and to these extraordinary bodies that carry us through this life.
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:52.159
Yes, well, thank you.
00:03:52.319 --> 00:04:17.040
I I do because the more I got curious about our the whys, the whys of why I couldn't reach my husband when it was such a dark place, and how someone so bright, so intellectual, with generous and kind could fall into that darkness.
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:27.600
So can you explain to me how one negative thought that constantly spirals into your mind affects your nervous system?
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:35.360
Yes, and you know, taking one's life, that that is the extreme, right?
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:40.319
That is the ultimate loss of control of the thoughts.
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.560
That's the ultimate trigger, per se.
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:55.360
And I know that word trigger can't be triggering, no pun intended, but the thoughts create chemical reactions in the body, in the brain.
00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:00.480
Now, first we have to understand everything starts with a thought, right?
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:17.279
Um, as much as we want to master our emotions and how we act in the world by sheer will, will is important, grit is important, but we have to master the thoughts first with baby steps.
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:26.000
Because if we don't master those thoughts through baby steps, then we are just a result of all that has happened to us.
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.720
And it even starts in the womb, right?
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:35.759
Um, some people, you know, their parents maybe were drinking when they were in the womb or they were fighting a lot.
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:42.800
All of these things are part of what's creating those cells, that fetus that eventually becomes a human being.
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:47.360
Because the fetus can literally feel what's around them.
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:48.560
100%.
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:51.839
And and everything that we are is energy.
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.199
And it doesn't have to be woo, for example.
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:56.959
It literally is energy, right?
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:00.800
You know that when you consume food, they call calories energy.
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:09.279
So everything is energy, and we start by being a particle, and eventually we become these extraordinary human beings.
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:16.800
But in the meantime, while we are becoming this human that we are, there were thoughts that were put into that process.
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:20.240
And it even starts why why are you here?
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:28.319
Well, at some point, you had a male and female that had thoughts about each other, right?
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.199
Let's we can make it very practical.
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:37.040
And those thoughts created chemical reactions in them of excitement, of interest, of love.
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:45.680
These became strong emotions, they came together, and they procreated more extraordinary, beautiful life.
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.160
But it did start with a thought.
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:55.120
And so everything does start with a thought, and it does physiologically affect the body.
00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:00.720
We can talk about that it's a chemical reaction, and we can look at the practical side of it.
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:06.959
So there's never anything that anyone does in life that did not stem from a thought.
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:15.759
And even when we look at trauma, for example, one may say, well, you're you're carrying all that trauma in your body, and that is true.
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:19.839
But how can we remove the trauma from the body?
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:26.160
We have to start with the thought and the acknowledgement that, hey, I experienced this trauma.
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:34.480
Now I have to decide, am I going to be that person that for the rest of my life is the result of my trauma?
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:53.600
Or am I going to look at what were those initial little thoughts that were implanted in me from it could be before birth or after birth that are not serving me, that are creating those feelings of anxiety or of life is not worth living.
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.720
So there is that part of the thought process.
00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:11.920
And and diving a little bit more into that because I think it's so important, especially for the work that you do, of when a person gets to a point of depression that literally there was no more desire.
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:19.120
There was no brain chemistry that helped them to keep holding on and living.
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:26.399
We have to address not only the thoughts, but we also have to address the physical body, right?
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:32.480
We have to um tackle our traumas from all areas.
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:37.039
So mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual.
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:44.960
And if we neglect one, especially when there's something severe, this is when we don't stand a chance.
00:08:45.840 --> 00:09:00.799
Sometimes when the trauma is very severe, where it's to that point of suicidal tendencies or a depression that's so severe that keeps people hiding at home and not living life, we have to use all of the tools at our disposal.
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:02.080
Yeah.
00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:03.440
This is so good.
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.200
I love the way you explain it because that's where I saw it.
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:11.919
It was just so severe that any communication was kind of blocked.
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:12.879
It was like a wall.
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:15.039
I couldn't get through that wall.
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:29.120
And that's why I'm I want people to not get that far, start noticing the signs before you that I nobody can almost reach you, it seems like.
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:03.440
There was paranoia, there was uh more drugs, more of everything.
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:09.039
And so I think he was just so depleted of that light inside of him.
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:11.279
And it made it really hard to reach.
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:16.960
And I know it all started from avoidance and suppression of his childhood.
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:24.480
You know, he I know he had shared a lot about his childhood and and had never wanted to address it.
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:31.360
And so just becoming aware and wanting to see it, because oftentimes we just want to push it away.
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:32.879
We don't we don't want to go there.
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:37.519
And we think maybe if we push it away, it won't affect us.
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:47.600
But what you're saying that it is in our body, and we almost have to dive deep, you know, like go scuba diving in the dark, dark ocean.
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:54.720
And we have to go see it to get out back to the light, you know, we have to address it.
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:57.440
And how do you how would you tell someone to address it?
00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:00.000
Because you don't want to relive these traumas.
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:09.600
How would you say what do they need to do with it so it just doesn't affect their body in a toxic way anymore?
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:11.279
How can they do that?
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:27.440
Well, the first thing that is essential for any of us to do is to be our number one fan, our number one self-observer, our number one stalker.
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.960
What does it mean to be your number one fan?
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.039
If you are somebody's fan, you are going to be rooting for them.
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:52.879
And if you were the head of the fan club for yourself, you would be making sure that you do absolutely everything to make this extraordinary idol of yourself look great all the time, feel great all the time, make sure they have everything that they need to succeed, right?
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:57.279
So we all live in a world with a lot of busy people.
00:11:57.440 --> 00:11:59.759
And most people have an extraordinary heart.
00:11:59.919 --> 00:12:02.720
They are very good and they're here to serve humanity.
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:05.519
But most people are very, very busy, right?
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:14.080
So we have to take the time to give ourselves the resources that we need to thrive and to be our best self.
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.519
We need to observe ourselves all of the time.
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:27.519
So if if we are realizing at some point in time, you're like, oh wow, I'm being very reactive, I'm being very snappy, I'm feeling really insecure, you know.
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:31.759
I'm canceling appointments because I feel too insecure to go.
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.840
I mean, this is what happens when people have severe anxiety and depression.
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:41.679
You know, some of the people that you know that are always canceling, sometimes we think they're flaky.
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:45.440
They might be suffering tremendous anxiety and depression.
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:52.080
And maybe they actually really wanted to go and spend time with you, but they're they're just suffering so much that they keep canceling.
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:59.759
Now, the world can help us, but we are the only ones that are with our own self all of the time.
00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:11.759
And we are the only ones that is with us from the time we have consciousness until the last moment of consciousness, at least in this physical body at this time for this lifetime.
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:15.360
So we must constantly be stalking our thoughts.
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:20.159
Stocking our thoughts is great, you know, you but you have to catch yourself, right?
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:28.720
Every time you're canceling these appointments, every time you didn't show up for something that could really move the needle in your life and make your life better.
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:33.759
It's important to that's where you take those deep dives and say, okay, I'm noticing this.
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:37.039
How can I shift this thought process?
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:42.720
How can I take the action even though I'm feeling insecure?
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:50.399
Even though I'd rather go hide under the covers, even though I'd rather go home and just drink or take some, you know, sleeping pills.
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:53.679
We have to observe ourselves all of the time.
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.639
Number one is noticing, always noticing.
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:10.879
But this is what's really important: noticing with kindness, noticing with sweetness, giving yourself ultimate radical self-acceptance, ultimate love, because no one else in the world can do that for you.
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.679
And it's and it's not that the world doesn't want to.
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:19.519
I'm sure all of us would love to spend our time rooting for everyone, loving everyone, building everyone up.
00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:25.360
It's a wonderful way to live, and it actually raises your serotonin and dopamine levels every time you do that.
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:29.679
But again, we each have to take care of our own side of the street.
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:32.240
We have to take care of these sacred vessels.
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:43.840
So one of the things that really helps is number one, the observation of the thoughts, really noticing what thoughts am I having that make me do the things I want to do in life that I know are good for my life and for others.
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:50.879
And what are the thoughts that I'm having that are interfering with me taking action to actually do something good for myself.
00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:52.799
No, like self-sabotaging, right?
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:53.360
Exactly.
00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:54.960
Self-sabotaging.
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:57.279
You know, a lot of people call it self-sabotaging.
00:14:57.440 --> 00:14:58.559
Yeah, I like that.
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.919
I like that because I'm definitely in that right now.
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:06.960
I have self, uh, so self-aware and I'm observing the my patterns.
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.600
I I always recommend people to journal, start observing, like or these little triggers.
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:12.720
Why am I being triggered?
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:14.639
Why did I react that way?
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:16.240
And and pause.
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:17.600
Where is it coming from?
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:23.279
Is it coming from because of that little girl that had no parents to take care of her?
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:27.679
You know, and so I becoming to study myself.
00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:34.000
I really am studying my behaviors and my triggers, so then I could become a better version of me.
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:49.840
And if I'm not carrying things from generations, too, because I know I could be carrying things from generations on my mom's side or my father that's that I'm carrying and I don't want to carry anymore as I I rise and I want to grow.
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:51.440
So I've got to let these go.
00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:56.240
But to let them go, I've got to be able to observe them, to be aware.
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:02.159
So I love that you're saying that to study yourself, you know, instead of always picking other people, oh, this person should be eating better.
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:03.440
This person should be doing that.
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.200
You know, start looking at you, you know, start looking at you.
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:20.720
And I think that's such a great advice because self-realization and observing will give you kind of the where you want to be, you know, and what's blocking you.
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:26.559
I think one of the keys that you just mentioned there, which I stop there for a sec.
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:34.000
I think one of the keys you just mentioned there is asking, is this my programming?
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:40.799
And you know, programming is essential in life because everyone is programmed.
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.120
We we are programmed from the time we are born, right?
00:16:45.679 --> 00:17:03.279
They program what time we should be drinking our milk, what time we should be sleeping, when we should get burped, then as you're uh become a toddler, they're programming when you should start walking, and then we get programmed on how we should behave in society.
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:07.440
So we had no control over that part.
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:25.680
But as we become adults and as we become fully responsible for ourselves, and as we realize, okay, I had this programming that may be responsible for all that I feel, all that I think, and all that I do to this day.
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:28.720
I'm gonna start reprogramming myself now.
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:31.359
I'm the captain now.
00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:39.920
This is so important, and this is where that not too tight, not too loose, that equanimity comes in.
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:53.279
But I do want people to have a grip and have some grit and have a strong will and have a little bit of fire in their belly and say, No, that was how I was programmed.
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:55.519
I'm reprogramming myself now.
00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:57.039
I'm in charge now.
00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:59.759
And how how do we get someone to get to that point?
00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:02.480
Because there's people that don't feel they deserve it.
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:07.440
Yes, especially you were talking about like the generational stuff.
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:15.839
Wait a minute, people ask themselves, my grandmother didn't get that, my mother didn't get that, my father didn't get that, my cousins don't have that.
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:17.680
Do I get to have this?
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:24.240
And there's that generational trauma and that generational blockage that again we have to shift that.
00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:25.519
How do we shift that?
00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:40.400
By realizing that if we do elevate ourselves and we do self-realize and we do clear out those traumas and we do reprogram ourselves, when we do that, that is not a selfish thing.
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:44.480
That is the greatest service we can give to humanity.
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:54.319
The greatest service that we can give is to clear the generational trauma, to say enough is enough, but you can only start with yourself.
00:18:54.799 --> 00:19:04.799
And this is where, just like you were saying about looking at how the other person's eating or what they're doing with their life, there is nothing we can do about what anyone else is doing.
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:09.119
The only one we can change, elevate, and improve is ourselves.
00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:18.079
And what we're doing when we do that is we're modeling, we're creating a new level for our generations, we're creating new programming.
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:31.759
And just like if you are in a family that has a very bad diet, for example, or does a lot of drinking, if you're the one aunt or the one sister, or the one person that comes to the party and you bring some healthy food with you.
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:32.559
That's me.
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:34.400
Yes, me too, me too.
00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:36.000
I bring my food everywhere.
00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:42.480
They're like, wait a minute, you know, Aunt Melissa, she she brings like this healthy food, and look how great she's doing in life.
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:48.480
So now you've just modeled an example that hey, it's okay to take care of yourself.
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:48.880
Yeah.
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:51.279
Actually, I could think back just this past weekend.
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:56.960
I went on the ski weekend in Vail, and there was one night everybody was going out late that night.
00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:59.359
And I was like, no, I put a premium on sleep.
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:00.240
I really do.
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.759
And for my kids too, we're gonna ski all day the next day.
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:08.799
So I was like, no, I'm staying in, but I felt, you know, you feel like kind of guilty, everyone's going out, which probably should.
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:09.680
We're in Vail.
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:12.079
I was like, no, my kids were in bed by 8:30.
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:13.039
I was in bed by nine.
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:14.880
I felt fantastic the next day.
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:18.799
And it's kind of uh, it's okay to put a premium.
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:27.759
I know how I feel when I have good like rest and I'm rested and my kids are rested, everything flows beautifully the next day, you know.
00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:29.599
Absolutely, everything works better.
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:36.960
This is so funny because my I'm very blessed that my husband can travel with me a lot to the conferences that I go to.
00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:43.680
And so for him, when he's with me, he knows we're gonna eat early, we're gonna try to find something healthier.
00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:51.200
And um, after years and years, the other day he we had an early dinner, like my preference, which is like four or five p.m.
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:53.200
Like the earlier the better.
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:58.000
And he the next day he was like, Oh my gosh, I've never slept so well in my life.
00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:04.319
And so I've never said to him, hey, you should eat like me, you should eat early, you know, never.
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:10.240
It's just we do the behavior that we know is better for our health.
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:15.519
And then we hope that at some point, you know, it might stick with someone else.
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:18.319
So it's it's never just for ourselves.
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:28.960
Every time you do something to elevate your own health, your own wellness, mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual, you're elevating everything and everyone around you.
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:37.519
It's just like when you, if you go to the store and someone's really rude, if you are not in tune with yourself, you might get your day ruined.
00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:40.640
You might be like, oh, that person was rude, that you know.
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:50.400
But if you are in control of yourself and your thought processes, you might actually say something really nice to that rude person and you may shift their day.
00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:50.960
Yes.
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:51.359
Yeah.
00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:53.599
Oh, I'm always like, kill them with kindness.
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:54.240
Yes.
00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:58.319
I'm always, I'm always like, okay, somebody's not, you know, in a bad mood.
00:21:58.400 --> 00:21:59.759
I know the distance, I could feel.
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:07.200
And I'm always like, okay, just a little space, but also give them some kindness, give them some love, or pray for them.
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:15.200
I love that you explain this because I see it to put an importance for the next generation.
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:28.799
Like for me, I'm, you know, of course, the fear that one of my child, you know, because they say generationally it passed down, you know, addiction, uh, suicide.
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:31.039
So that stuck with me a little bit.
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:37.839
I didn't sit in the fear, but of course it came up because after my husband died, my son tells me he doesn't want to be around anymore.
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:39.440
My daughter felt the same way.
00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:41.359
So there was so this heaviness.
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:45.759
So my my curiosity became because for the next generation.
00:22:45.920 --> 00:23:08.799
And I love that you say that, because if one person in a family decides to shift, maybe okay, another family member decides to do the same uh protocols or the same uh diet changes and the same health behaviors, or and so if we start spreading that globally, we can shift generations to come.
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:10.799
I'm not doing this just for now.
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:11.359
Right.
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:12.880
This is generation.
00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:19.680
I want globally for us to shift and to spread this awareness because it's not talked enough.
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:35.920
Because I I'm very much into health as well, you know, just um uh you know, I met you at a biohacking event, and and so I'm really, but I love intertwining both spirit and mind because I know optimizing your temple, there are tools out there for that too.
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:41.119
And and it's so important to for that vitality.
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:42.480
And I'm just really curious.
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:53.039
So, as far as the physical and even biohacking, how as much as you do the consciousness and the thought, what else do you find has really helped optimize?
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:58.559
And maybe this is where I get confused because you don't want to quiet down the body signals, right?
00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:08.960
Sometimes the body speaks and you don't want to quiet them down, but there are tools out there that can help with the inflammation and the brain fog and your clarity.
00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:19.200
And so I'd love to hear from your, you know, your own expertise, and I know you're very much in the health industry and you speak at all these events.
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:23.200
What do you think are great tools for people that they can integrate?
00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:32.240
I again, you ask the best questions, and I love that you talked about, you know, how as a mother, you know, that these were your concerns.
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:40.960
So let's break down again generational, whether it's emotional, mental, spiritual, or even physical illness, right?
00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:56.000
I what I teach is conscious wellness, and conscious wellness is the dance between scientific medicine and spiritual medicine, and we never separate the two, and all science is actually sacred.
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:25.359
So I really invite people to look at to understand the physical body as the sacred vessel for the spirit and the soul, because we do sometimes have a little bit of a war between, which it doesn't make sense, but we do sometimes, between, oh, if I'm a very elevated, high consciousness person with an extreme spiritual practice, I should just be able to master my physical body and not really worry about it.
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:29.119
And uh look at the monks in Tibet, you know.
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:38.960
But the monks in Tibet don't live in a city and are not surrounded by you know the smog and the uh toxins that we're surrounded by.
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:44.640
So we tackle this wellness from all levels.
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:51.279
It is 100% important to really elevate the physical body.
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:56.240
And you know, I always say I want people to be very ambitious.
00:25:57.119 --> 00:25:57.599
Where?
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:02.000
Be very ambitious about optimizing your physical body.
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:16.000
Be very ambitious about optimizing all of your thoughts, not only about your traumas and your spiritual life and your personal relationships, but your thoughts about your physical wellness.
00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:27.920
What we have seen is that there are people that have all of the hacks, that have all of the resources in the world and can do all of the physical optimization.
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:41.920
But if their thoughts about the physical optimization are that it's difficult or it's a struggle, or I've got these genetics and that's gonna block me, these protocols don't work as well for them.
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:47.119
So the way we look at, I think it's important to definitely do genetic testing 100%.
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:52.160
Find out what genes you have, find out the things that you need to pay attention to.
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:57.119
Learn about the history of your, you know, grandmother, your grandfather, and your father.
00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:03.359
And absolutely, if there was mental illness, that is a signal to say, wait a minute, that could be there.
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:08.079
So maybe I am gonna pay more attention to brain chemistry, for example.
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:14.319
And some of the things that definitely affect brain chemistry is literally what you put in your mouth.
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:19.839
This is this has I have seen people get off of depression medication.
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:22.480
And I'm not against the medication, by the way.
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:27.920
I believe people need to use what they need to use as their tools as long as they need to.
00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:42.880
But not forget that what we consume every single day, whether it's through our mouth, through our eyes, through our ears, or our environment, are also affecting the chemistry not only in our brain, but in the cells of our body.
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:44.799
You know, we all have symptoms.
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:54.000
If you if you travel, you go to a restaurant, you're used to having your healthy, normal diet at home, but you went to a restaurant and suddenly you have a migraine the next day.
00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:54.480
Oh, yes.
00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:55.839
Oh, I noticed it instantly, right?
00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:59.920
Seed oils, especially, because I try and avoid them, I get headaches, right?
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:00.720
Exactly.
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:05.519
So why is um why is scientific medicine so sacred?
00:28:05.680 --> 00:28:06.799
Because guess what?
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:08.559
You have tools now.
00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:15.920
For example, you know you're gonna travel, you're not gonna stop your life and go live in a cave, you know, unless you want to, which is perfectly fine.
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:20.799
But if you're going to participate in life, this is where we bring in the scientific tools.
00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:32.240
This is where you maybe bring something that helps with gluten to your dinner because it's very important to have these relationships and be able to spend time with people that we love.
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:39.920
So some of the things that I personally have optimized and I've seen really help my clients optimize, is number one is the diet, right?
00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:44.319
That's the easiest one to do because you're going to eat every day.
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:53.680
And so the things that you do every single day, just like the thoughts that you have every single day, this is what's really affecting everything that's happening in your body.
00:28:54.000 --> 00:29:04.000
In fact, there are people that try certain protocols, certain peptides, certain medications, you know, devices, and suddenly they say, Oh, well, that one didn't work for me.
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:07.359
But they're not incorporating the whole package.
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:09.920
They're not also optimizing their diet.
00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:16.160
They're not eliminating, you know, refined sugar and processed food and toxins.
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:22.319
And there's not too much that we can control, but there's a lot we can control, right?
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:34.640
We can't control everything outside, but we can control when we're at home, what we eat, we can control what we look at, what we listen to, and what we think, and the people that we spend our time with.
00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:38.240
And all of these affect our physical body.
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:44.400
Everything, again, comes from a thought that creates a chemical reaction in the brain that creates the emotion.
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:49.519
You feel the emotion, it's gonna make you want to take an action or not take an action.
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:58.000
You take the action, now you've created energy, and that energy literally affects the cells in your body, it affects everything that you do.
00:29:58.160 --> 00:30:04.880
That energy affects, it's not just on a mystical wavelength, it's also on a physical wavelength.
00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:12.400
It also creates frequencies in your body, and it affects the people that you're around as well, especially you would know that because you're a mother.
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:13.200
Yes.
00:30:13.519 --> 00:30:21.440
Oh, I see it a lot with if I'm off and my energy is off, then it it just spirals, spirals to my kids.
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:23.200
And then, you know, fights happen.
00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:37.839
And so I've now practiced so much more self-awareness and not being reactive as well, you know, when they're trying to trigger me, you know, when they they know, oh, I'm gonna ask mom this question a hundred times and I'm gonna stay patient.
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:39.759
You know, I have to really be mindful.
00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:41.200
I'm like, maybe they're tired.
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:42.000
Have they eaten?
00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:43.200
Have they properly?
00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:52.720
I've noticed nutrition so much with my kids in certain supplements that I've because I did get do an MTHFR gene test.
00:30:52.799 --> 00:31:08.880
I want to do more testing for them because I'm playing around with certain things, uh supplements for them, because I'm seeing a shift when they're depleted in sleep and their nutrition is off because we've had a weekend with sleepovers and birthdays and full of sugar.
00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:12.559
Oh my gosh, the rage, the meltdowns.
00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:15.279
So I see it in just my own household.
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:20.079
And that's why I'm I'm of, you know, I'll be at the sporting events and I'm bringing their own thing up.
00:31:20.160 --> 00:31:34.000
I trade them off with like my own drinks, electrolytes instead of the Gatorades and all of that, because it I put it in importance because I see their brain activity, I see how it's affecting my kids.
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:49.039
And and for me as well, I notice that if I'm I'm my energy is low and I'm anxious, I'm stressed, it really has a ripple effect for them, especially my kids.
00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:51.440
And so I have to really work on me.
00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:58.160
And a lot of time for a parent, you feel really guilty to go maybe uh take a little vacation.
00:31:58.400 --> 00:32:04.400
Take a little vacation by yourself, go up in the mountains, go somewhere, do journal, do nothing.
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:12.880
That's really hard for most people because we're so used to stay busy, stay busy and be givers and give, give our time.
00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:19.279
But we need to replenish, we need to, so then we can show up for our loved ones the way we want.
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:34.079
You know, I just you know I know back then when we're working five days a week and you're coming home, and then you cook dinner, and then you spiral, and you are just not so present for your family.
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:44.880
And so slowing down for me and feel okay with that took a lot of work, took a mindset shift, like I'm not doing enough.
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:46.480
Should be more productive.
00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:53.440
And and I'm definitely more one that I feel more productive the more I'm doing and using my hands and moving.
00:32:53.759 --> 00:33:10.559
And so sitting in in prayer and in meditation and in breath, it was hard to say, okay, it's okay to spend that 30 minutes every morning, because then I see a shift.
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:22.319
I see a shift in in all aspects of my life, and how the more I find stillness and space, the more things flow to me, flow beautifully into my family.
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:26.720
And so this is why there's such an importance to talk about that.
00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:32.160
And I really appreciate your expertise in that and the way you explain it.
00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:42.880
And so I want people to put an importance in getting to know, to shift their minds and their thoughts and and and start noticing it, start journaling why why is that thought keep coming up?
00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:49.599
Like I'm not worthy, or I'm not like so many people compare themselves, right?
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:52.559
They compare themselves, especially I find that with siblings.
00:33:52.640 --> 00:34:02.079
I think of my kids or any adults that have siblings, they compare themselves nonstop to their siblings and how that keeps them stuck for a lifetime.
00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:03.200
That's true.
00:34:03.440 --> 00:34:10.320
Yeah, and you know, that's great that you found the way to take those 30 minutes for yourself.
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:14.320
And as you were mentioning, so many people are very, very busy.
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:22.639
And this is why we start with small actions, and this is why we start controlling the small things that we can control.
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:27.440
Most people don't have the 30 minutes, right?
00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:31.679
So this is where we start with five minutes or three minutes.
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:38.159
And uh the morning time is so important, even just to take three minutes.
00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:51.920
Usually I ask people to, you know, take three breaths, think of three things you're grateful for, three intentions that you have for yourself, and three intentions that you have on how you want to serve humanity.
00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:57.519
And and it goes a little bit further than that, the whole thing takes about five minutes.
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:01.440
But the reason why we do this is because you can't always get away.
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:07.039
You can't always take that little trip or that little vacation by yourself or go to that retreat.
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:16.800
So we need things that we can do every single day that can anchor us uh throughout the chaos of each day.
00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:24.719
Um the other three things, and this is where the anchor comes in, is every morning decide who do you want to be to yourself?
00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:29.280
Who do you want to look at in the mirror at the end of the day?
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:31.440
And at the end of your physical life.
00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:40.400
Who do you want to be to your family, to those close to you, to your children, to your spouse, to your friends, to your siblings.
00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:49.760
And then who do you want to be to those that you have the blessing to serve, whether it's your employees, the people that you work with, the people that you serve in your business.
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:54.639
And I ask people to choose three words, one for each of those as anchor words.
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:59.280
And then ultimately one word for yourself that is your anchor word.
00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:20.800
And what you do is throughout the day, when everything gets chaotic, when the kids have had too much sugar the whole weekend, or you haven't had enough sleep, or, you know, in many cases, this is the same whether you're a very high-profile person, like some of the, you know, politicians or celebrities that I work with, that people are coming at them all day long, all day long.
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:23.199
They've got people loving them and hating them.
00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:24.800
What do you do with all that?
00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:42.639
That reaction in the body is the same as to whether your sister's not talking to you because you didn't go to the one birthday party she invited you to, or whether the whole world is saying that, you know, your your acting is terrible, or you can't sing, or you're the worst politician on the planet.
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:45.280
The reaction in the body is the same.
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:51.360
It's a stressor, it's too much cortisol, it's too much adrenaline at one time.
00:36:51.440 --> 00:37:00.079
And it creates the same emotions in the body of inadequacy, of everybody hates me, of things just don't work out.
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:09.679
So this is why we have this morning practice, because throughout the day, when these things are coming at you, you've got your anchor words that you go back to.
00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:12.719
And these things that only take 30 seconds.
00:37:12.960 --> 00:37:30.159
And it's just having like a little signal to yourself throughout the day that wait a minute, no, I decided that my word is compassion, and that word could even change every day, and you anchor back to that, or maybe the word is I'm enough, you know.
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:33.679
I love that, or not alone, yeah, not alone.
00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:38.559
You know, I think that's so important that you're giving people tools that are just a few minutes, right?
00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:50.719
Because a lot of people put time as I don't have the time, so you want it to be easy, small wins throughout the day, and to to help their nervous system along for the day.
00:37:51.039 --> 00:37:57.440
And so these tools, they don't cost anything, they're available to everybody.
00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:05.760
They are only a few minutes, so and this could change their whole life and the way they feel in their body.
00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:10.960
I'm curious because sometimes I'm such, I feel, you know, very deeply and energy.
00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:19.920
And sometimes when I'm around somebody, I could feel there's so much, you know, they're just in a lot of either a lot of fear or there's just so much anxiety.
00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:26.639
I'm like, oh, I slow down my breath a little bit, and it's just really hard for me to be around, but I love them.
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:30.159
How do I get it not to affect me as much?
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:35.840
You know, I've practiced where I just kind of slow down my breath because I feel it so intently.
00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:37.679
You know, do you have a tool for that?
00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:49.760
Because I struggle with that, and sometimes that's why I recluse myself or I won't go out as much with whoever those people are, because I'm like, ooh, that energy is so intense.
00:38:51.840 --> 00:38:54.000
Yes, I I know this about you.
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:59.760
I can see that because you're a very caring person and you have a very open heart and you're very empathetic.
00:38:59.840 --> 00:39:04.320
And when people have that, they feel other people's energy.
00:39:04.639 --> 00:39:12.880
This happens a lot for you know, medical practitioners, anyone in wellness, and just average people as well.
00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:27.360
Some of us can really tune in to other people's energy and and feel what they're feeling, and sometimes it could be much to our detriment because we don't know how to manage all of that energy, all of those emotions.
00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:38.800
So, yes, the tools that can work for this and everyone is different is one really deciding who it's worth being around, right?
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:53.199
If you're uh going to serve, then there is uh a spiritual contract that you must learn to manage your thought processes, your emotions, and your energy.
00:39:54.239 --> 00:39:56.159
This is a spiritual contract.
00:39:56.800 --> 00:40:08.079
If you are put in certain situations over and over again, there's another spiritual contract that is saying there's something you really need to look at here.
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:10.880
There's something you need to learn from this situation.
00:40:11.039 --> 00:40:20.800
And it might not be that you're doing anything wrong, it might just be telling you, listen, you uh are a person with a lot of sensitivity.
00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:24.480
So we need to use that to be a blessing in the world.
00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:26.639
And so the tools are cloaking.
00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:38.559
Okay, this is very simple, and it's doing some sort of a visualization that you find symbolizes a protection circle around you.
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:44.960
And usually, you know, some people literally love to imagine a cloak around them.
00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:49.119
Some people, which I love this, tune into the sun.
00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:51.920
You don't have to go outside for the sun.
00:40:52.239 --> 00:41:00.079
Of course, if you can, it's extraordinary, but you can carry that sunlight around you and within you anytime.
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:03.519
And that's where we do tune into the chakras a bit, right?
00:41:03.840 --> 00:41:12.159
We one of the practices that I learned from one of the shamans that I studied with at a very young age is really hooking into the energy of the sun.
00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:18.239
And so, especially when you're going to be around a lot of people, you would, and I know you love breath work.
00:41:18.559 --> 00:41:19.039
Yes, yeah.
00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:30.880
So you would imagine a hook right below your belly button, and you would send this hook like a golden rod and hook it up to the sun.
00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:42.159
And then visualize yourself breathing through that hook or through your third eye or through your crown chakra, whatever feels good to you, and start bathing yourself in that sunlight.
00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:49.280
And you carry that protection of light with you wherever you go, you know, and then so there's that part.
00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:51.199
You cloak yourself, you surround yourself.
00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:55.920
Because when I do breath right, I tell them to breathe in when they're breathing in, imagine that golden light.
00:41:56.079 --> 00:41:56.800
Yes, right?
00:41:57.039 --> 00:41:59.840
And so that could really resonate with what you're saying.
00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:02.239
Yeah, and a lot of people love the golden light.
00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:05.440
So now some people are like, okay, well, where do I get the golden light?
00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:06.159
Right?
00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:07.920
So we can use the sun.
00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:11.920
Because everyone has seen the sun at some point in time.
00:42:12.159 --> 00:42:13.840
So there's the there's that, right?
00:42:13.920 --> 00:42:19.920
We can cloak ourselves, we can say a prayer, we can use mantras, you know.
00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:25.840
And the thing here is that there's no one way.
00:42:26.320 --> 00:42:32.480
It's finding something that helps you feel anchored and grounded and protected.
00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:47.360
And it's okay if it's a visualization, it's okay if it's a mantra, it's okay if it's a prayer, it's okay if it's a piece of jewelry that you put on and you say, okay, when I put this on, I know that I'm protected.
00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:48.239
I'm protected.
00:42:48.559 --> 00:42:55.440
It's your intention on the jewelry, it's your intention on the sacred object, it's your intention on everything.
00:42:55.519 --> 00:42:59.519
And it's actually the same thing with the supplements you use and the technology that you use.
00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:02.880
It's gonna work far better if you set your intention to it.
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:11.039
And then if you are in these situations and you do feel drained, this is where it's good to have some tools now.
00:43:11.119 --> 00:43:12.800
Now, how do I clear that energy out?
00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:17.760
Yes, I I realized that a few times, but after I'm done breath work, I've picked up, you know, some energy.
00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:18.880
And so I really have to.
00:43:18.960 --> 00:43:24.800
I had my friend who's a sound healer, she had done all this energy work on me, and I felt so much better.
00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:27.280
But learning to do that myself is very important.
00:43:27.519 --> 00:43:29.039
It's very important to have these tools.
00:43:29.119 --> 00:43:36.320
Like, for example, let's I'm gonna give a kind of a dark example, but it's most people have been to a funeral.
00:43:36.559 --> 00:43:41.840
Okay, you go to a funeral, it's a sad situation most of the time.
00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:43.599
And it's something like that.
00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:46.719
I would tell people definitely go do some clearing after that.
00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:55.039
You know, it's everybody views this transition of life differently, but most people view it as something very somber.
00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:57.519
And so that's the extreme.
00:43:57.679 --> 00:43:59.760
But it could be that you're at an event where.
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:02.320
There was just some weird energy, right?
00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:06.559
And so some of the things that always help is tapping.
00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:08.000
Tapping is extraordinary.
00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:08.719
It's so easy.
00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:09.599
You can do it anywhere.
00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:11.440
You can go to the bathroom, do tapping.
00:44:11.599 --> 00:44:18.000
Not just tapping, also dusting off, you know, dusting yourself off all the way down to the ground.
00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:23.039
And again, it's the intention of saying, ah, there's that energy.
00:44:23.119 --> 00:44:24.000
I feel icky.
00:44:24.239 --> 00:44:25.360
Let me clear that out.
00:44:25.519 --> 00:44:26.639
Clapping is amazing.
00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:28.079
Stomping your feet.
00:44:28.400 --> 00:44:29.920
Dancing, which is my favorite one.
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:31.280
Dancing, my favorite too.
00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:32.559
Yes, and jumping.
00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:36.239
And when you're jumping, you know, you're really helping your lymphatic system.
00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:38.800
So you will instantly feel the shift.
00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:41.920
I think the one that people say they feel the biggest shift is jumping.
00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:42.559
Just anything.
00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:46.239
That's why I bought a small little trampoline for us to use at home.
00:44:46.800 --> 00:44:47.840
My kids on there all the time.
00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:48.800
And I go too.
00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:50.639
And you can do the jumping anywhere.
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:51.039
Yes.
00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:51.440
Right.
00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:55.920
And uh actually for bone density, jumping is extraordinary.
00:44:56.079 --> 00:44:58.480
So especially if you do it on a harder surface.
00:44:58.800 --> 00:44:59.599
Okay, good to know.
00:44:59.760 --> 00:45:03.039
So these are just easy, simple tools that you can use anytime.
00:45:03.119 --> 00:45:18.239
But what I want to make sure people know is that all of the power of every tool, every supplement, every device is going to work far better with your own intention on it, with your own thought process on it.
00:45:18.480 --> 00:45:22.800
For example, you know that some people pray over their food and they bless their food.
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:25.519
Well, how about you bless your red light therapy?
00:45:25.760 --> 00:45:28.719
How about you bless your supplements before you take it?
00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:31.519
Again, those are those intraday resets.
00:45:31.599 --> 00:45:48.320
So everything that we do throughout the day gives us an opportunity to reset our energy, to anchor back to what our true purpose for blessing the world is, because we're all here to give something, to plant some seeds that are going to make someone's life just a little bit better.
00:45:48.480 --> 00:45:56.559
And so if we take every time we eat as an opportunity to anchor back, you know, sometimes it's every time you walk in your car, if you drive a lot.
00:45:56.719 --> 00:46:08.559
Okay, every time I open the door of my car, I'm gonna remember what my intention is for today or who I am here to serve, or that I'm extremely blessed that I got to live this one extra day.
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:20.480
You know, if you are in an office, every time someone walks through your door that you're there to serve, give them a silent blessing and remember how blessed we both are to be having this experience together.
00:46:20.719 --> 00:46:33.599
So it's really about having these, just like the, you know, exercise snacks are the big thing now, which are lifesavers because not everyone can set out the time to go do a full gym workout session.
00:46:33.840 --> 00:46:35.760
Let's have blessing snacks.
00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:43.440
Let's have thought optimization snacks, let's have energy optimization snacks throughout the day.
00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:55.039
And doing these little things, things really start to shift little by little, gently, lovingly, sweetly, with kindness and with true compassion for ourselves and for others.
00:46:55.199 --> 00:47:05.360
And by the way, the more compassion you have for yourself, the kinder you are to yourself, the more you can have that compassion for others when you see their reactions in life and their triggers.
00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:08.000
You can say, you know, I understand.
00:47:08.079 --> 00:47:08.719
I've been there.
00:47:08.880 --> 00:47:09.360
Yes.
00:47:09.599 --> 00:47:19.920
I love that you use the word compassion, because when I was talking about when I feel the energies and it's so hard for me to be around it, I started to shift.
00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:26.559
I think my word has been now more compassion, like sit in the compassion to where they're at in their journey.
00:47:26.800 --> 00:47:28.559
And that's been helping me.
00:47:28.639 --> 00:47:37.519
And it's true, now that I'm more self-aware, I can go around and have more compassion to where people are at in their lives instead of judgment.
00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:50.800
And that alone shifts how I understand where people are at, and I leave the judgment alone because I do have so much empathy and compassion.
00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:56.800
And there's, you know, where I'm at now is fantastic.
00:47:56.880 --> 00:47:57.519
I feel great.
00:47:57.679 --> 00:48:14.159
There's still always so much growth for me, and I love learning, and that's why I love having guests like you because I learn so much and I that incorporate for me and my family, but I know for the guests listening, this will plant so many seeds where you are planting seeds of light.
00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:19.280
So much, how they can incorporate light just through their thoughts.
00:48:19.519 --> 00:48:24.639
And this is not another biohacking, you know,$10,000 equipment.
00:48:24.960 --> 00:48:25.840
You can do this.
00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:29.679
And it's this gets is spread so globally and it's so important.
00:48:29.840 --> 00:48:36.400
I talk about this in my book about I love, you know, tell my kids to bless their food beforehand because that could create more light.
00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:42.639
Because unfortunately, the food we have now from the grocery store is the light is depleted, right?
00:48:42.719 --> 00:48:45.920
We're not, we don't have our own garden and we don't have that anymore.
00:48:46.239 --> 00:48:48.960
So, how can we bring in more light to the food we're eating?
00:48:49.119 --> 00:48:50.159
Let's bless it.
00:48:50.480 --> 00:49:04.320
And so I just love how you brought that up and how they people can bring in those blessings every day, a little bit more light, and and also blending the science and blessing their their medication.
00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:09.840
If they have to, if they're told they have to take this medication and there's a bit of fear, just bless it.
00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:11.199
That's so important.
00:49:11.599 --> 00:49:23.360
Yes, yes, because some people have actually, you know, to their detriment, avoided certain protocols, including medication, where because they were terrified of it.
00:49:23.599 --> 00:49:29.920
But they're, you know, I I want people to remember that all medicine is sacred medicine.
00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:39.360
And whoever created that prescription, that supplement, that oxygen therapy, their intention was to save somebody's life.
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:42.000
Their intention was to help humanity heal.
00:49:42.400 --> 00:49:53.519
And so if we are in a position where actual prescription medication is needed and there's fear, we can shift that, you know.
00:49:53.920 --> 00:49:54.719
Think of it.
00:49:54.880 --> 00:50:01.679
Like, for example, I tell people, you know, you have to tell yourself no, the side effects don't apply to me.
00:50:02.159 --> 00:50:09.039
You have to, what do you have to lose by telling yourself that the side effects are not going to apply to you and that you're just gonna get all the benefits?
00:50:09.280 --> 00:50:18.719
So you talk to the medicine, you know, you you say, Thank you, universe, and to whoever had the sacred intention of using this for someone's true healing.
00:50:18.880 --> 00:50:22.400
And I know that only the good will come from this.
00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:30.000
My cells are going to receive this, my cells are going to heal from this, and I'm gonna receive all the blessing, and this is temporary.
00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:49.519
I will not have to take it for the rest of my life, and but I will use what I have to use to optimize my physical body because I love my physical body so much, I'm so grateful to it that I'm going to take great care of it because this one is the one that's gonna carry me through this entire life.
00:50:49.760 --> 00:51:01.199
And so I owe it to this sacred vessel to do everything I can and even, you know, talk to your body, you know, be kind to your body, say, sweetheart, we're gonna take this for now.
00:51:01.360 --> 00:51:04.639
We're working on this, and this is gonna be really good for you.
00:51:04.960 --> 00:51:13.199
This is gonna be so good for you, and we're gonna keep getting better, and we'll continue to adjust and shift just like you would to your precious child.
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:16.719
We need to do that to ourselves, to our consciousness, to our body.
00:51:16.960 --> 00:51:21.599
One of my beautiful teachers would tell us to talk to your soul.
00:51:22.639 --> 00:51:23.599
Consult with your soul.
00:51:24.639 --> 00:51:29.599
You know, just say, hey, beautiful soul, look, we're hanging out in this body now.
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:31.760
What good things can we do for it?
00:51:32.159 --> 00:51:34.480
How can we take good care of this amazing body?
00:51:34.559 --> 00:51:35.440
Isn't this fun?
00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:43.599
And so it's a relationship between our spirit and our body, scientific medicine and spiritual medicine.
00:51:43.760 --> 00:52:12.159
And this is how we bring conscious wellness into everything that we do, is by extreme reverence, extreme love and compassion for ourselves, for our physical body, and lots of gratitude to the physical body for what it's doing and reverence for those who are here planting seeds, providing supplements, providing therapies, you know, providing new protocols and strategies on how we can optimize these extraordinary vessels that we get to navigate this precious life in.
00:52:12.320 --> 00:52:13.599
Oh, that's so beautiful.
00:52:13.679 --> 00:52:27.920
I just love hearing you talk and explain because I it speaks to my soul, because I truly feel when I speak to my body, to my soul, and ask what does it need, sometimes it'll tell me.00:52:28.239 --> 00:52:29.119
It will tell me.00:52:29.360 --> 00:52:29.920
Of course.00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:43.599
And and I, that's why I want to guide people to start listening, start becoming their own health advocate again and remembering their intuition, their body knows to speak to their bodies, but also blend the science.00:52:43.679 --> 00:52:49.599
If you need, blend the science that's there, that was created, but really connect with your soul.00:52:49.760 --> 00:52:51.519
So, Leah, thank you so much.00:52:51.679 --> 00:53:01.039
I mean, I think I could listen to you speak for another hour, but uh unfortunately today, you know, this is all the time we have together.00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:12.000
But if anyone wants to, you know, work with you or find you, because I know I love all your posts, it's always so positive and it does shift your mindset.00:53:12.159 --> 00:53:13.840
So, how can people find you?00:53:14.159 --> 00:53:15.119
Thank you, Melissa.00:53:15.199 --> 00:53:22.800
It's my my greatest pleasure to spend this time with you, and I want to thank you for the sacred work that you do and the blessing work you do in this life as well.00:53:23.039 --> 00:53:33.519
And people can find me on my website, lealovio.com, or on Instagram, and that's where I list the next events that I will be attending or speaking at.00:53:33.679 --> 00:53:35.840
And I'm always there, you know, to help people.00:53:36.000 --> 00:53:42.239
Can I mean that from my heart, reach out, DM me, you know, always happy to help in any way possible.00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:43.599
Oh, I love that.00:53:43.840 --> 00:54:13.280
So for today, if this episode really resonated with you, spoke to you, really started to shift how you think or started to observe your thoughts, please watch it one more time because I think there was so much that was shared today that even watching it a second time to really grasp the concept that Leah shared so that it can really stick, but also share it with those that you love.00:54:13.519 --> 00:54:31.039
Let's spread those seeds globally, that light globally, so we can shift those thoughts that are corrupting so many minds right now, that I know there's too much of a rise in suicide, too much of a rise in depression, especially in young kids as well.00:54:31.840 --> 00:54:42.719
Now, if we can even bring this to schools and teach kids to be mindful of that little bully inside, I know this so personally because I see it in my kids.00:54:43.840 --> 00:54:50.400
So it starts with you with you to see that self love, self observation.00:54:51.920 --> 00:54:53.280
Thank you for listening today.
