Inspire Nation Show with Michael Sandler

If you’ve ever wanted to shift your life, breathe new energy into things, feel better about the world, and gain a whole new perspective on life, even a 4 legged perspective then do we have the show for you. Today I’m interviewing Laura Coffey, writer, editor and producer for Today.com, the website of NBC’s Today show, and author of one of my favorite books ever, My Old Dog. Now I’m biased, I’ve had older dogs travel with us on book tour, and run with us, until they were seventeen, so I love older dogs. I love younger puppies too, but there’s so much wisdom, patience, and love in an older dog. And I’m not alone, celebrities such as George Clooney, and the humans being the upscale Nordstrom, love their old dogs too. As does Grammy nominated singer-song writer Neko Case. So I can’t wait to talk with Laura about Einstein and George Clooney, about older dogs and what they have to offer and why tongues hanging out, just might be a good thing. Topics Include: Why Adopt an Older Dog? George Clooney and Einstein Instagram's Marnie Bretagne – last surviving 911 Ground-Zero dog Movement for senior dogs Why “seniors” actually make the best pets Perfect Ready-To-Go Pets Resource guide with senior-specific rescue groups Gray muzzle organization Benefits of Senior Dogs Mady and Maddie Dogs for seniors Dogs at nursing homes Sunny – 16 year old dog 3 Nuns, Death Row, and Remy Such a meaningful, rewarding adoption Woofabago, 25 dogs and travelling x-country Stinky – AKA Marny – Internet Famous Dog (2 million Instagram followers) What about kids and senior dogs Doing something out of kindness and compassion, letting that love into your home, you can’t go wrong. Retired Service Dogs Inmate trained Dogs Words of Wisdom Don’t be afraid of it – don’t overthink anything about it!

Today we have a very special, relaxation, pet meditation. This meditation fits perfectly with Today’s show, by NBC Today.com Producer Laura Coffey on Rescued Pets, and How they Rescue Us. This is a perfect meditation to do any time of the day. This meditation will put a smile on your face, and help drain your tension away. If you like this meditation, please do us a HUGE favor and rate and review our show on iTunes. Ratings and reviews are the #1 way you can help us, and help people to find the show. Thanks so much in advance. To find more meditations by me, or by our guests, and to check out Laura Coffey’s fantastic interview of Rescued Pets…which is perhaps my favorite interview so far, check out our inspire nation show, or visit inspirenationshow.com. I send love. I send light. And many, many blessings your way. Namaste. To do this meditation, you can be either seated or laying down. You can do it eyes open or eyes closed as well. There’s a healing power to petting an animal, and a soothing power as well. It’s been shown to lower blood pressure, lower our heart rate, our breathing rate, and take us from a fight or flight sympathetic nervous system response, and bring us into a rest, relax, and digest better, parasympathetic response. So in essence, we’re going to breathe nice and slow and deep, as we visualize petting our favorite pet, real or imaginary, present or gone.

Whether you’re on a quest for your special someone, or want to take your relationship to an entirely new level, then do we have the show for you! Today we’re interviewing Mali Apple and Joe Dunn, relationship coaches extraordinaire, speakers, and best-selling authors of The Soulmate Experience and the Soulmate Lover. Today we’ll be talking about attracting a soulmate, nourishing your soulmate, being a soulmate, and a soulmate approach to life…That, plus maybe just a bit on sex, something they’re known to write about too! Topics Include: Being Mindful Playing with the edge to keep things new and fresh What is a soulmate experience Anyone can have this experience of total connection – doesn’t require a one and only Soulmate experience can be with anyone Family Co-workers Friends Begins with the relationship of yourself Not looking for someone else to complete you or to fix your self-esteem Why Tom Cruise’s “You Completely” is dangerous! Helping the other heal brings you closer together Being able to reframe everything How am I looking at my reality? How I’m looking at the world completely effects my world. Body image – The Importance of Being Comfortable With One’s Body How it’s a mirror at the county fair. How we see ourselves is not how others, or our spouse sees us. When we look at ourselves we see the things we don’t like and we reinforce them Instead we should be looking for the Mirror-cles Self-inventory – look at every aspect of who you are Including addictions Including social media – that pull towards is there something important Reducing baggage How do you become aware of your baggage? Go ask your last partner! Sometimes baggage isn’t really baggage, but could be gifts Such as kids, which you may think are “baggage” where others see they’re incredible gifts! Re-framing “baggage” as an asset is incredibly empowering. Often don’t see our own talents and abilities Ask your best friends “what are my free greatest gifts?” Having a magical space where negativity doesn’t exist. Scrubbing away the negativity Changing your mind Loving your body Removing your baggage Raising your soulmate potential – the mindsets to give you the greatest potential to find and maintain a really incredible potential One very practical thing you can do, look at the expectations you have and see how many are valid and how many can you do without. The more you can do without the more likely you’ll be able to connect with someone on a soul level. Letting go of all the superficial stuff that gets in the way Law of attraction The most powerful way is to get the feeling and the energy and let go of the particulars of what that looks like. The universe knows better than you…let go of the limiting beliefs and need to control and trust the universe. Don’t be limited by your list Mali would have never have found Joe Have an energetic feeling and let the rest go. Staying in a place of gratitude – they’re just temporary, they’re just a guest. Staying in touch with the fact of how short our lives are, but helps us stay in touch with the gratitude Having a guest card, like a get-out-of-jail card. What is true commitment? Not a fearful or manipulative thing. Most people’s commitment is coming from a place of fear Should be commitment made out of love Do you need to keep repeating a commitment to love to yourself – staying mindful Is awareness of the great relationship and wanting it to continue “Context” an idea of what you have to offer to the relationship Idea of what I have to offer rather than what you have to give Why jealousy can be a good thing! A very juicy, alive feeling. Often attracted to other people, how you deal with that is what’s most important She wants him to be attracted to other people, keeps him feeling alive Free to be yourself Why innocent flirtation can be healthy Playful I see you, you see me How to move past resentments Making positive changes allows you to attract the person in your life Do internal work before you’re ready to attract someone The partner game of “leapfrog” Not working on relationships, but embracing it. If you want a really amazing relationship, continually explore what makes your relationship amazing. The importance of having “no agenda” Pushing the “edge” in relationships Doing things you’re uncomfortable with. The edge is where the party is happening Experiencing your partners passion Work on relationship vs. play with relationship Connecting on a soul level The Law of Attraction and Relationships Inspiration | Motivation | Spirituality | Mindfulness | Love | Sex | Sexuality | Health | Body | Attraction | Relationships | Communication | Law of Attraction

Today we have a very short, relaxing, body-image meditation. This meditation goes perfectly with today’s interview with Mali and Joe on the Soulmate Experience. You can do this meditation anytime of the day, but I like this one best first thing in the morning, or after coming back from a workout or the gym. If you like this meditation, please do us a HUGE favor and rate and review our show. Ratings and reviews on iTunes tremendously help people find the show, so I can’t thank you enough. To find Joe and Mali’s fun, sexy, and enlightening interview, or to find more meditations by me, or our guests, check out our Inspire Nation Show or InspireNationShow.com. I send love. I send light. And many, many blessings your way. Namaste. For this meditation, we’re going to do the exact opposite of what we typically do. I’m sure you’ve heard the expression we have 60,000 thoughts a day, and that 90-95% of those thoughts are exactly the same, time after time. Well when it comes to our bodies, or body-image, it’s more like 99% of the time. For instance, if you’re concerned about your stomach, then when you hop out of the shower, that’s all you see, your belly. Or if it’s wrinkles around your eyes, then you might not see your toned thighs, but only those pesky wrinkles. No matter what the imperfection, or area for improvement, we give it a disproportionate amount of our attention. And based on the law of attraction, what we think about, is what we bring about. So focusing on what we don’t like, or what’s bothering us, only makes more of it. Instead, if we focus on what we do like, we bring more of that about as well. On top of that, we get more comfortable in our skin, or more comfortable with our bodies. This means greater self-confidence, healthier relationships, we become attractor magnets for more positive experiences in our lives, and yes, better body image, can also mean, better sex. Why? Because we’re more comfortable and confident, and that comes across to our partner as well! This meditation is really simple. We’re going to do a full body scan…looking only, and always for the positives. Remember what you resist, persists, so no looking for “negatives” or imperfections. Save that for another day, and may the nother day never come. Instead, let’s look for those amazing positives you have. And you do have them. We all do! For this meditation, I highly recommend laying down if at all possible. And getting good and comfortable, yes, this means a blanket or pillow too if that helps.

Today we have a very simple yet powerful Law of Attraction meditation. This meditation is perfect to help you bring about anything you desire in your life.

In 2004, Michael Sandler undertook a 5000 mile, 40 day, solo, unsupported bike ride to raise awareness around learning disabilities. In this candid, heart-warming interview, find out how to find the strength to continue when the going gets tough in life. Jessica Lee here your mysteriously absent co-host, who’s actually here today and Michael’s typically loving wife. Don’t worry, Michael’s not on holiday, he’s right here on the line with me, but today we’ve planned a special treat for you. And today I’ll be turning the tables on Michael and interviewing him as a guest on Inspire Nation. You might know Michael sandler as the uber positive host of inspire nation. You might think that he was born this way, but truthfully speaking, though he did came into this world with some admirable traits, he had to work pretty hard at becoming the man I so admire today. Now as Michael’s wife, you might think that I’ve heard his stories a million times by now – it’s true I have, but amazingly I’ve never tired of hearing them. There’s always something new & fascinating to learn. So I decided I wanted to give you, the listener, the opportunity to be truly inspired by Michael himself. Today we’re going to zero in on one oh-so incredible epic journey that Michael took. Back in 2006, he rode his bicycle across the country to raise awareness for children and adults with learning disabilities, 5,000 miles in 40 days, solo and unsupported. Yes, that means it was him, his bicycle, a few pieces of precious gear, and Mexican radio – though that didn’t last very long. We’ll talk more about that later. Today we’re going to talk about divine inspiration – how to know when it’s not coming from you, perseverance vs. being plain stubborn; how to keep going when the going gets tough, what to do when people start doubting you, how to summon in the miracles when things start looking bleak & keeping the faith no matter what. KEY TOPICS: What possessed Michael to undertake such a grueling physical endeavor Why he only allowed himself 6 weeks to prepare Why Michael brought 1/2 of a Wayne Dyer book with him, and mailed the rest of the Wayne Dyer book back to himself! Finding out how little you need to survive and the beauty of simplifying How Michael went from calling events “nightmares” to “opportunities” How people doubted Michael’s ability to finish, and why Michael never wavered in his conviction How the universe sometimes tests you Michael’s metaphor of standing on a diving board and sinking down before you can launch What Michael discovered when he finally turned off the music and what you can discover in the silence How to get over the fear of being alone What happened when Michael ran out of money on 3 separate occasions How to call in more miracles into your life How doing good in the world, brings more goodness back to you What transpired when Michael got pulled over by police (twice!) Why it’s ok if you’re path in life isn’t a straight line Why sometimes it’s necessary to go backwards, before you can move forwards How to cultivate your intuition and be certain it’s not coming from you How Michael got through some of the toughest parts of America, including the murder capital of the country, on his bicycle What was waiting for him at the end of his bike ride Inspiration | Motivation | Spirituality | Spiritual | Self-Help | Meditation

Today we have a very authentic and heart-felt guest, I’d call him a bridge, between languages, cultures and ancient wisdom and the modern world. He’s a master, a student of the Toltec tradition, perhaps you could even call him a warrior, though not in the traditional terms. And he’s a Nagwal, but I’ll him share about that. His name is don Miguel Ruiz Jr. Don Miguel Ruiz JR, is the author of two very special books, The Five Levels of Attachment: Toltec Wisdom for the Modern World, and Living a Life of Awareness, Toltec Wisdom for the Modern World. You may be familiar with his father, who’s written some of the most beautiful spiritual books such as The Four agreements: A guide to Personal Freedom. At the age of 14, don Miguel Ruiz Jr. apprenticed to his father don Miguel Sr. and his grandmother, a faith healer, Madre Sarita. From that early age, he was called upon to translate Madre Sarita's prayers, lectures and workshops from Spanish into English. In this way, through constant repetition and review, he learned the content of her teachings in both languages. Don Miguel Jr.'s apprenticeship lasted 10 years. When he reached his mid-20's, his father intensified his training. At the apex of this power journey don Miguel said to his eldest son, "Find your way out. Go home and master Death by becoming alive." For the past eight years, don Miguel Jr. has applied the lessons learned from his father and grandmother to define and enjoy his own personal freedom while achieving peace with all of creation. Today, don Miguel Jr. is married and has two young children. And so, as a Nagual he begins once again to pass along the wisdom and the tools of his family's traditions in helping others to achieve their own personal freedom and optimal physical and spiritual health. I am so excited to have don Miguel Ruiz Junior on the show, I think there’s so much we can learn from him, from Toltec wisdom, and from his experience as a bridge between the wisdom of the past, and the wackiness of today. Thank you so much for being on the show Miguel, are you ready to shine??? Questions Include: Who are the Toltec People? What does Toltec Mean? What was it like growing up in both cultures and ways? What is a Nagual? Grandmother – faith healer, and translating it, but letting knowledge get in the way Domestication and attachment Let go of the attachment that you must obtain some image of perfection for you to be happy. Facing our own reflection When you no longer believe in a self-judgment, it will no longer have any power over you. You can choose to view yourself from a place of acceptance based on the undeniable truth that you are already perfect and complete exactly the way you are right now. Why did you think you were imperfect when your father would tell you you were perfect just as you were? Where did the differing belief come from? (childhood? Parenting? Experiences?) 47: min - For me, I have crossed that threshold from concept to experience while jogging – usually around the one-mile marker. This is when I am no longer thinking about my route, pace, or even the pain in my legs. This is a moment when everything goes calm, and all I can feel is my breath, the stride, and the environment. My mind suddenly shuts off and I am completely in the moment, and I know exactly what I am doing without the need for thought. From this place even the term Authethic Self disappeares, along with the rest of my thoughts. I am simply alive with the complete freedom to love myself and everbody as I chose. I have no need to distort the information I perceive because my perception of life is unencumbered by any attachments. The authentic self is the harmony of mind, body and soul as the expression of life. Level 2 – the controlled folly The clean mirror What does Toltec mean? What was your upbringing like? What is Domestication WHAT ARE THE 5 levels of attachment How can we use the five levels to transform our lives…or to liberate us??? How are we subjugated, or tied to…at present What is the biggest demon in the world? (or why is love the biggest demon in the world?) Mitote and narrators in our head Being motivated by self-love :o) How do we move from level 5 to 4 or 4 to 3 or so-on? Are we supposed to strive toward level 1 (or judge people based on the level they’re at?) Quest for truth vs. quest for being right Toltec 5 – Believing without being skeptical The Gift of Listening

Today we have two very harmonic guests Dr. Eben Alexander and Karen Knewell, who will be talking with us about frequency, healing, and acoustic meditation. ---Dr. Eben Alexander, Best-Selling Author of Proof of Heaven and as seen on Oprah!--- I’ve been extremely intrigued by the power of sound and meditation to help us train the mind and to heal. Not to geek out too much, but I’ve been fascinated by how different sounds make us feel better, relax, or increase our focus, whether that’s Tibetan singing bowls, chants, particularly Om, or binaural or warbling sounds. Today we’ll talk about all of these and how sound can be a gateway for greater health, for empowerment, focus (and attention) and in a sense, for transcendence, or at least to quiet our minds. We’ll also be talking about a bonus meditation you can find on our Inspire Nation show, a sacred acoustics sample, offered by Karen Newell and Dr. Eben Alexander. As for our guests, Dr. Eben Alexander (seen on Oprah) has been on our show before, he’s the run-away best-selling author of Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife and The Map of Heaven: How Science, Religion and Ordinary People are Proving the Afterlife. And Karen Newell, an innovator in the emerging field of brainwave entrainment audio meditation. Using Sacred Acoustics music, sound & harmonic resonance recordings, she teaches you how to enter and engage your own consciousness in order to connect to inner guidance, achieve inspiration, improve wellness and develop intuition. ---Also how sacred sound and music greatly increases focus, mood & concentration for those with ADHD--- Today we’ll be talking about sacred acoustics, about using sound to quiet the mind, take an inner journey, to heal, and to connect with a deeper part of ourselves. It should be a fascinating journey into the power of sound. And again, you’ll want to check out the bonus sacred acoustics meditation afterwards and try it out for yourself!

Do you ever feel like you’re not in control of your food, but your food is control of you? You know, when you have that one chip, or one bite of ice cream, or a simple little chicken wing, and suddenly, you’ve plowed through an entire bag, box or pint? And perhaps without even knowing it! If so, then you’re not alone, and do we have the show for you! We’ll be talking with Mark Schaztker, award-winning food journalist and author of The Dorito Effect: The surprising new truth about food and flavor. Today we’re going to talk about an explosion of flavor, and how it’s downright killing us! We’ll talk about why our flavor’s been in charge, what’s happened to our food supply-and why our great-grandma wouldn’t recognize the food of today. We’ll discuss what I call franken-foods or why a chicken’s no longer a chicken, and why no matter how we try, loosing weight almost seems impossible. Most importantly, we’ll discuss what we can do to make simple changes today, right away, that will make huge impacts in our health, and in our waist bands! Why do we eat? Flavor Everything has gotten bigger and cheaper, but less nutritious and blander Thank flavor technology since 1950’s Every year consume more than 1,000,000 tons of fake flavoring Story of ancient chemical language of every organism, designed to help you find the nutrition it needs It’s been telling lies Story of what’s been happening to flavor, and what we can do about it.

If you’ve ever wanted to travel the world, but thought to yourself, if only I had the money, the time or I’d love to do that someday when I retire, then do we have the show for you! Today we’ll be talking with Rolf Potts, veteran travel writer, for the likes of Salon.com and world hum, and best-selling author of Vagabonding: and Marco Polo Didn’t Go There. His adventures have taken him across six continents, and include piloting a fishing boat 900 miles down the Laotian Mekong, hitchhiking across Eastern Europe, traversing Israel on foot, bicycling across Burma, driving a Land Rover across South America, and traveling around the world for six weeks with no luggage or bags of any kind. Today we’re going to talk about working to live, instead of living to work, and about taking our own life adventure, or what I call Vagabonding 101. I want to know how we can all get into it, what’s the simplest way to start, and if we really need to wait till we have that nest egg, or are retired to be able to afford to travel around the world!

Today we have a very special meditation designed to help clear and relax your mind. My wife Jessica and I first learned this from a Tai Chi master on Maui. It’s called the 4 directions. You can do this any time of the day, and I’d particularly recommend it any time you’re stressed, about to perform, have a meeting, or need a clear mind to think at your best. To find more meditations by me, and our great guests, please visit our Inspire Nation Show and InspireNationShow.com. And if you like this meditation, please do us a HUG favor, and rate and review our show. The more people who rate the show, the more people who can find it. So thank you so much for your rating and review! I send love. I send light. And many many blessings yours way. Namaste. This is a very simple meditation, that involves just a bit of movement to get the Chi, or energy unstuck and flowing again, from your brain, through your neck, and throughout your body. So you’ll want to do this sitting upright with either both feet symettrically on the floor, or sitting cross-legged good and tall. I’ll guide you through it, but in short, you’ll exhale as you turn your head to the left. Then inhale as you bring it back. Then exhale as you turn to the right. Then inhale as you bring it back, then exhale as you bring your head up, then inhale as you bring it down. Then exhale as you drop your chin, then inhale as you bring it up. For this exercise always exhale and inhale through the nose. Lastly, never turn your head to the point of discomfort, and begin lightly, with only a few repetitions. You can build up over time, strengthening your neck muscles and gaining flexibility. But begin with only 3-5 minutes, and never do this two days in a row, until your neck muscles have grown accustomed to it. However, after that time, feel free to gradually do as much as you’d like. I know before a big talk, I might do ten minutes, even twenty minutes of this exercise to quiet my mind, get my creative flowing, and feel energized all over! The perfect meditation to de-stress, clear & unclutter your mind, to recharge and get the energy flowing for greater creativity, focus & performance.

Hi everyone, this is Michael Sandler, your host on inspire nation. Today we have a very simple, yet powerful inspirational and motivational meditation to help you recharge and feel at your best! This is a meditation I used years ago to literally help save my life. I fell in a hiking accident, shattering my hip and femur, and was stuck in a freezing cold creek, bleeding out internally. I stopped breathing, and had a near-death experience, but that’s something for another day. But when I came back I needed to find a way to keep breathing until rescue crews could get to me. And so I did this meditation which I’d used in different ways for years. Thankfully I was well-versed at it, and it worked. You can do this meditation sitting upright, or laying down. Or even broken on the rocks. Technically, you can do it driving as well, but I rarely recommend meditating and driving together, and I wouldn’t recommend it here. You can do this meditation any time of the day, all you need is a few quiet moments, and a place to relax. To check out more meditations by me, or by our guests, visit our inspire nation show or inspirenationshow.com. And please do us a giant favor. If you like this meditation, please rate and review our show. It makes a huge difference. Ratings greatly help rankings and give us more exposure so more people can find the show, and enjoy the meditations as well. Thank you so much. I send love. I send light. And many, many blessings your way. Namaste. A note on this meditation: For this meditation you’re going to take nice, slow, deep breaths. As usual, I’d recommend in through the nose, and out through the nose as well. But if you have to, inhale through the nose, and out nice and slow through the mouth. We’re going to do this meditation in a really fun way, focusing on ourselves first, and then on others. There’s a few key reasons for this. First off, compassion rules. The more we cultivate compassion for ourselves and for others, the more we help raise the vibration of the entire planet. Secondly, science shows we release chemicals, happy-drugs in the brain, when we’re focused on helping others, that aren’t released when we’re focused on ourselves. This means we get a double-benefit, we get to help others, which helps us too, and by helping others, we get a direct benefit as well! It’s an exceptionally simple meditation, in essence, we’re going to breathe in light, and breathe out love. Don’t worry, I’ll explain as we do it. | Inspiration | Motivation | Spirituality | Self-Help | Happiness | Re-energizing | Mindfulness | Spiritual | Healing | Health | Inspirational | Motivational

We all know thoughts create things, and that changing our thoughts can change our reality. We've known it since Napoleon Hill and Think and Grow Rich. But while people have written hundreds of books on it over the last 30-50 years, none of them address the core belief...or how to change our beliefs! Kimberly Heart, ultra-successful career coach to Fortune 500 and 100 CEO's, top exec's, and entrepreneurs does just that, diving into our subconscious and how to rewire our hearts our minds, and our lives! This is a talk about changing yourself to attract everything you desire into your life. Whether that’s healthier relationships, a better job, the love of your life, greater happiness, everything all starts on the inside. So she shows you how to recognize and begin the process of change…AND how to do it without needing a cosmic hit with a 2x4. In our society we hold up people who martyr themselves for change, she talks about how kind, gentle, and loving change can be for yourself, and that it doesn’t require pain. In fact, self-love is the most important place to start and to attract into your life everything you desire. She talks about reprogramming your subconscious, fixing your inner wiring, and moving past the programming we’ve add since we were a little child, or as she calls it “the seven year old driving the ship”. She talks about healing the inner child, and healing the subconscious, and how freeing, liberating, and how great it feels. And she talks about taking our lives to a new level, both through exercises in her book, and by working with a mentor to be there in a guiding, non-judgmental way to help you make the big changes. Talks about a never-ending process of growth, how growth is our life’s work, but also how beautiful it can be. And talks about our childhood, why our wiring is the way it is, how we can rewire almost in an instant. And how important it is to work on ourselves for our kids. That we must put the oxygen mask on first for ourselves, before helping our kids. How are kids will mirror us, so if we’re martyring ourselves and unhappy in the name of taking care of our kids, our kids will learn to be unhappy, and untrusting in what we say (do as I say, not as I do). Last, talks about the value of helping others and changing the world, and that change, truly is an inside job. Change ourselves first and foremost, just as loving ourselves first and foremost, to change the world. | Napoleon Hill | Think and Grow Rich | Law of Attraction | The Secret | Tony Robbins | Inspiration | Motivation | Career | Entrepreneur | Success | Self-Help

---Having Been Sick from Mold Toxicity, and With My Co-Host and Wife Jessica Lee STILL struggling and on a very long-road back to recovery from Mold Toxicity Poisoning, this is our perhaps our most important interview yet.--- DETAILS: The hosts of Inspire Nation have been living in a mold-infested house for four years, slowly withering away without knowing why. They were very impressed by MOLDY and the webinar and will interview Dave Asprey, producer, and host of Bulletproof Radio about the film. Jessica is taking a break from co-hosting as she still has mold toxicity and gets very fatigued, but this is an important interview for her so she will join for this one. Introduction: Today we have a very special guest. His name is Dave Asprey. Dave Asprey is the founder of The Bulletproof Executive, is a Silicon Valley investor and technology entrepreneur who spent two decades and over $300,000 to hack his own biology. Dave lost 100 pounds without counting calories or excessive exercise, used techniques to upgrade his brain by more than 20 IQ points, and lowered his biological age while learning to sleep more efficiently in less time. Learning to do these seemingly impossible things transformed him into a better entrepreneur, a better husband, and a better father. Dave is the creator of the widely popular Bulletproof Coffee, host of the radio show and #1 health podcast, Bulletproof Radio, and author of the New York Times bestselling book, THE BULLETPROOF DIET. Dave’s newest venture, the first Bulletproof Coffee shop is scheduled to open in Santa Monica, California in early 2015. His Bulletproof Films released the company’s first documentary film, MOLDY, in June 2015. – which is the topic of conversation today. Background: Before we begin, a bit of background on us. This year Jessica and I moved from Maui to her parents place in New Jersey. It was an emergency move, after our health came crashing down around us. We didn’t know what was going on. For two years Jessica was getting sicker and sicker. We thought it was the air from a neighboring volcano, until we realized getting her out of the house, and into an air conditioned car or anywhere else on the island and suddenly she’d feel better. Get her out, she felt human, and became a little chatterbox. Bring her home, she’d been exhausted, unable to speak intelligently, frazzled, with headaches, nausea and feeling sick. For myself, my downward slide took the form of an old and fragile body…with unexplainable minor injury after injury, and with a fall that lead to a near death accident---later tested to reveal incredibly weak bone density, despite lots of activity. On top of that I struggled with brain fog. For Jessica, this meant she was back in bad, almost unable to finish sentences by the time it was noon. For me, it meant the shortest attention span and inability to multi-task I’ve ever experienced. And this from a life coach who’s specialized in working with those with ADD, myself included. It wasn’t until a week before we left, with the world crashing down around us, that the cleaners found a carpet 1 inch thick of black mold on the upper level of the house where we couldn’t see it. It was in the walls, on all upper surfaces, on the ceiling, and even in the skylights…though we’d been told it was dirt. We are so lucky to have gotten out. The previous tenant who lived in our home for seven years, came down with what we believe was terminal brain cancer. On that light note, let’s jump right into things. Key Questions: What the heck happened with you (Dave Asprey) in your life with mold? How did you figure out it was mold? Is this something others need to concern themselves with, or only in old, delipated houses? How many homes do you guess are mold infected? How many people are sensitive to mold? What do you do if you live in a home with mold or feel you’re sensitive to mold. Is there a way to accurately test your home? What would you do if you can’t move? In the documentary, Dr. Daniel Amen talks about measures you can take to heal the brain, what would some of those be? What would good dietary advice be? How strict does one need to be to eliminate sugar from their diet? What are the absolute most important supplements one needs to take? What do you do if you’re stuck in a job with mold? How long does it take one to get better? How do you know when you’re healed? (it’s hard to remember what baseline is) How long does it take to get your brain back online? Where can people go to get more advice? Switching gears, what advice can you give everyone to begin healing their bodies? More Topics include: How do you tell if a home is moldy What does acute exposure feel like? What does PTSD and mold-exposure have to do with each other? How can sugar help you if you’ve had mold exposure? What’s the emergency protocol if you’ve had acute exposure? What do you do if you’re living in a home that still has some mold? What do you need to know if you’ve moved from a home with mold

Today we’re going to do a very special and sacred meditation used by Hawaiian’s and ancient Polynesian cultures for thousands of years. It’s called Hooponopono. It’s a meditation or practice of forgiveness, reconciliation, and cleansing. It’s the perfect meditation to do if you’re not feeling well, if your struggling physically, or emotionally, if you’re having relationship troubles, guilt or anxiety. This is an extremely powerful meditation to help you hit the reset button, or clear the programming in your mind, and if you believe in it, clear your karma away as well. This meditation fits perfectly with today’s guest, Dr. Fred Alan Wolf, talking about loosening our grip on reality, using Quantum Mechanics to make Quantum leaps in our lives. Hooponopono helps us make these leaps by cleaning our minds and letting go of negative attachments.

Do you ever wish you could find a way to heal, to overcome injuries, serious illness, even cancer, or nagging pain or other physical problems that keep coming back or will never go away? If so, then do we have the guest for you! Her name is Brenda Michaels, she’s the nationally syndicated radio show host of Conscious Talk radio, and the amazing co-author of the book the Gift of Cancer. She’s also been an incredible mentor, guide, and I’d even say a guardian angel in helping get our show off the ground. Now Brenda knows a thing or two about repeating patterns and rising above them. She’s struggled with negative emotions, poor relationships and had cancer three times before digging deep and learning how to truly heal. Now she’s been cancer free for over 25 years! Personally, I’ve also had my challenges with repeating patterns, in particular with major injuries over the years. So I’ll always fascinated to talk with Brenda about recognizing challenges, rewriting the programming in our minds, and learning to rise about it. Today we’ll talk about writing new programming and shifting your consciousness to a higher level, to truly heal from the inside out. Key Topics Include: Law of Attraction Intention The Secret – Realizing what we resist persists! Identifying repeating patterns Moving Past Fear and Negativity Healing from the Inside Making the Commitment – healing as a full-time job Contributing your energy to healing, and to becoming the person you wish to be Moving Past Fear & Negativity Learning to Use Your Breath to Heal Committing whole-heartedly to your purpose Loving Yourself Forgiving Yourself Journaling Identifying your limiting beliefs Learning how to move past your beliefs Identifying How You’re Feeling Getting connected into your body Get your heart opened and get connected to your spirit Be open and allowing, don’t push, allow, surrender Breathe out what isn’t right with you, what doesn’t feel right to you, breathe in what you truly want, peace wellbeing, joy, abundance, breathe those energies into your body and release the opposite to you.

If you’ve ever wondered what the most successful people in the world know that the rest of us don’t, then do we have the show for you! Today we’re going to talk with one of the most positive researchers in the world! * Bio at bottom. His name is Shawn Achor and he’s one of the world’s leading experts on the connection between happiness and success. His research on mindset made the cover of Harvard Business Review, his TED talk is one of the most popular with over 11 million views, he’s lectured or worked with over a third of the Fortune 100 companies, as well as the NFL, the NBA, the Pentagon and the White House. Shawn is the author of New York Times best-selling books The Happiness Advantage (2010) and Before Happiness (2013) and he recently did a two-hour interview with Oprah at her house to discuss his mission to bring positive psychology to the world. Today we’re going to talk using positive psychology to rewrite your own maps, and completely transform your life. This means greater success at work, happiness at home, and new outlook, for a new you. It’s come at an incredible time too. Our show hits our one month anniversary, tomorrow. At present we have thousands of listeners in at least 78 countries, we’re growing exponentially with today being our highest growth day ever, and this morning, we woke up to find we’re the #15 self-help show in the world…all in under one month. I want to talk with Steve about this, about how our mindset and our maps truly create our reality -> and how to use that to our advantage! So what’s the goal of today’s show: To give you the advice you need to become a “positive genius” and bring tremendous success into your life! Topics include: What creates greater levels of happiness. Why when you’re happy first, everything improves – How happiness is really is first step before success. Most important: First have to believe change is possible – Understanding this is the biggest change in positive psychology movement Understanding why happiness must precede success and why success does NOT bring happiness This is why “successful” movie stars, musicians, professional athletes, and even tenured professors are not happy. And is why Oprah was depressed at the height of her career And why Shawn Achor himself was depressed while at Harvard Understanding that it’s not about your genes, even if you’re “pre-disposed” toward something May have genes that predispose you, but it’s not about your genes. Making small changes in your life on a daily basis can have major impact on rewiring your mind. Small changes have macro-level affects on our intelligence creativity and ability to be positive. Big question is: What’s the smallest intervention possible? Key Exercise: For 21 days in a row think of 3 things they’re grateful for each morning or each day you get into work (CHECK OUT OUR HAPPINESS MEDITATION FOR A SIMILAR GUIDED MEDITATION EXERCISE) This activity of scanning the world is extremely powerful. It can take people who have been genetically low-level pessimists, and in 21 days turn them into life-long optimists!!! Doing this exercise with 4 year olds at the dinner table, having them scan for things to be grateful for, can turn them from lifelong default pessimist to lifelong optimist. Every outcome improves when human brain is positive first As important children practice this as brushing their teeth or eating breakfast. An extremely important habit for both kids and adults alike – for adults important to practice this before going to work, or first thing when they get in to work. Important note on this exercise: Must be things are grateful for that are NEW (that’s occurred over last 24 hours and why) Rewires the brain to start to scan for the positive and see the opportunities that are around you. Without exercises like this, your ability to focus on the positive can atrophy. 5 HABITS THAT CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE Every day when get into work, first job to write 2 minute positive email praising or thanking someone they know. Do this for just 3 days in a row and people literally get addicted to it, and others write great emails back. 21 days later on your social connection score is off the chart in social support, because you have 21 people you’ve meaningfully activated. The Single greatest predictor of long term happiness is breathe, depth, and meaning of social networks. Social connection is as predictive of life expectancy as the food you eat, how much exercise you do, and even whether you smoke or not. Social connections are why western males don’t live as long as their female counterparts, and why western males are so much more likely to have heart-attacks. Success rarely leads to happiness However, if you can get someone to be positive, they rise to the highest possibility within your band of potential Lucky vs. unlucky people Unlucky people are simply not focused on the positives and so don’t see the potential around them. Amazing study about lucky vs. unlucky people – the “lucky” p

Hi everyone, Michael Sandler here your host on inspire nation. Today we have a very short, yet powerful happiness meditation. It’s similar to gratitude ones, but really focused on rewiring the mind for the positive. It was inspired by my interview with Steve Achor, one of the world’s leading researchers on happiness, a partner with Oprah on an O-Course, and the best-selling author of the Happiness Advantage and Before Happiness. You can find his interview on our Inspire Nation Show and on our website at InspireNationShow.com. This meditation can be done anytime of the day, but I recommend it first thing after you get up in the morning, or definitely before you head out the door. This is a great one to commit to for 21 days. That’s how long it takes to make a habit, and according to Shawn Achor, America’s #1 Happiness Expert, focusing on gratitude and happiness for 21 days yields massive long-term results. This is a meditation that gets easier over time. At first, it’s difficult for the mind, as we’re not wired to find happiness quickly. But that changes rapidly, creating new neural pathways, or literally changing the wiring of your mind. You can find more meditations from me and our guests on our Inspire Nation Show and InspireNationShow.com.

Learn how to achieve incredible success through mindfulness, focus, perseverance and joy! Discover how following your heart, and loving your family lead to world record performance! | Inspiration | Motivation | Spirituality | Mindfulness | Self-Help | Career | Business | Tony Robbins Today we have a very special treat. An interview recently recorded for our mindful running program with Deena Kastor, Olympic bronze medalist, masters world record holder in the marathon, and US womens record holder for the marathon. If you want to know what it takes to be a champion and to find success, both at your career, your family, and in all that you do, than do we have a show for you! Deena Kastor Discusses Mindfulness, Focus, Balance – and Family, and how to succeed at it all! The following article was written, based on this podcast and interview! At 5'4" and only 104 pounds, no one knew quite what to expect as 41-year-old Deena Kastor lined up for the 2014 Philadelphia Rock 'N' Roll Half-Marathon. An Olympic bronze medalist and American record holder for the marathon, she'd recently set two American master's records on her way to victory at the Dallas Rock 'N' Roll Half Marathon. For this race, her goal was even larger; she was eyeing a world-record. As she lined up, she had nervous butterflies, or what she calls "excitement," a feeling she describes as being completely prepared and ready to get to the task at hand. Years earlier, feeling supremely prepared for the biggest race of her life, her body broke. Only three miles in at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, a stress fracture took her out of her race. But that was then. For most elite runners, 41 is well past retirement, particularly for a mother with a daughter who's now four. But Deena had had a string of successes in recent years and was showing no sign of slowing down. The gun went off. 1 Deena Kastor Leading a World Class Field in the 2014 Philadelphia Rock 'N' Roll Half-Marathon. Photo Credit PhotoRun.net/Competitor Group ( Inspiration | Visualization | Motivation | Mindfulness | Tony Robbins | Zig Ziglar | Spirituality | Spiritual | Meditation | Success | Career | Business | Relationships | Family | Children | Balance ) Deena did her best to follow her game plan, yet only six miles in, struggled with painful side-stitches, which would return in the last few miles of the race. She says it was touch-and-go, that she thought about giving up, but dug deep and went for it. It was a race for the record books and she did it! In just 13.1 miles, Deena Castor wiped out 4 world master's records, from the 5 km through the half marathon. So how'd she do it, and what can we learn from her? Deena has an amazing attitude, a positivity and sense of gratitude about her that spills over into everything she does. She attributes a large part of her success to her mindfulness, a practice she's used to cultivate her positive attitude and what she calls an "attitude of gratitude" over the years. She says it's not something she was born with but had to work at. Recently I had the opportunity to sit down with Deena virtually and ask her about her practice. I wanted to understand how her lessons could benefit others. Her attitude was infectious; it was hard not to laugh and smile as she shared the ups and downs of her journey, and how she's stayed positive through it all. Most importantly, she shared 10 key ways we can all use mindfulness to make our own lives better, whether in the big race, or the even bigger race of life. Live a Quality, Purposeful Life Deena: "Goals aren't just pursued in the moment, but in the choices we make throughout the day." To juggle the competing demands of being a public speaker, high-profile athlete and mother, Deena has to be incredibly mindful of how she chooses to spend her time. She works to "trim the fat" making sure there's nothing in her day that doesn't serve her. She wants her time to be filled with high quality activities, surrounded with the people she loves -- always on purpose. Live with an Attitude of Gratitude Deena: "I am grateful to live the life that I love, and love the life that I'm living." Deena says, "I like to immerse myself in the greatness of the opportunity" being incredibly grateful for everything she does and everywhere she goes. It's something she's cultivated over time, what she calls "being in the moment, and really enjoying the action of whatever I'm doing." 1Deena Kastor Enjoying the Moment. Photo Credit Asics America. Just after college she did a gratitude exercise with her coach's wife which changed her. She was asked to keep a gratitude list, to pick ten things each day to be grateful for, but she could never have duplicates. At first it was easy, but then she really had to start searching for things to put on the list that were different than before. She says searching for joy and gratitude helped her train her mind to ignore or push out the negative. Practice Positivity and Purposefulness Deena: "If it takes the same amo

Hi everyone, Michael Sandler here, your host on inspire nation. Today we have a very short, stress-reducing meditation. This is a powerful meditation I use whenever the anxiety’s up or things aren’t going quite as planned. I call this meditation dropping in, as in dropping in to the zone. This is a very short yet powerful meditation. We’ll do about a five minute version here, but if you need to, you can even benefit from a 1 or 2 minute version. Of course, you can ALWAYS go longer as well. This is an extremely popular meditation of mine, and one I use frequently. If things are going “wrong” , not as planned, or things feel like they’re spinning out of control, I quickly drop everything, and jump into this meditation. It’s a great way to quickly get centered and let the stress go. This meditation’s also a perfect match for our interview today with Deena Kastor, Olmpian and World Record Holder in the Marathon. She’s learned some amazing techniques for reframing, and moving past stress. You can find her interview on our Inspire Nation Show, and on our website at Inspire Nation Show.com This is a great meditation anytime your stressed, and it only takes a minute to do it.

Hi Everyone, Michael Sandler here, your host on Inspire Nation. Today we have a very special, short meditation designed to help you bring about a perfect day. It’s called the Miracle Morning Meditation, appropriate, because today we’ve released an interview with Jeff Sanders, author of the 5 AM Miracle. You can find his interview on our Inspire Nation Show, and on our website at InspireNationShow.com. This meditation is best done first thing in the morning, either just waking up, or after rolling out of bed, and grabbing a nice large glass of water to begin to wake up the mind. You can do this seated, or laying down. Personally, I prefer it laying down, just make sure you won’t fall back asleep. This is a meditation that gets better with practice. It’s part meditation, part visualization, and your visualization muscles take time to develop.
