Inspire Nation Show with Michael Sandler

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 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.

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. (This meditation and visualization is similar to those by Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, and Tony Robbins, but with an Inspire Nation / Michael Sandler flavor to it) For more meditations from me, or my guests, please visit our Inspire Nation Show, or InspireNationShow.com, and please do us a favor.

The perfect meditation to relax & learn to quiet your mind. Begin strengthening your mental muscle, cut the incessant chatter, and help the mind calm and slow down Mindfulness | Spirituality | Zen | Buddhism | Yoga | Self-Help | Inspiration | Health This meditation is great for anyone, but particularly fantastic for beginners. We typically have 60,000 thoughts a day, however, 99% of them are the same thoughts repeated over and over again. This meditation is the first step in strengthening the mental muscle to take charge of monkey mind and help it go quiet. This is a fantastic meditation to practice anytime of the day you have a 5 – 10 minute break. Each time you do it, you’re relaxing as you strengthen the mind. You’ll find it calming, often blissful, and may even experience a sense of warmth and growing energy inside of you. That’s the power of the 10-count. This meditation is similar in ways to those by Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle and many others, but with more of a practical how-to mindfulness aspect.

You can change your mind to be able to do anything. Your IQ is not fixed. Your memory is not fixed. And you do not need to lose brain cells or get fuzzy-brained as you age. As he says “The brain is plastic till you die. You cannot kill it until you die. It is the greatest trick. We all have the capacity to be greater and get stronger.” In this interview he suggests ways to make your brain stronger. It’s an especially important interview for seniors, for parents, kids, and for returning veterans. For parents he discusses ways to increase children’s intelligence, and the dangers, and benefits of their technology. For seniors, he discusses ways to prevent trips, falls, hip fractures, and other potentially life-threatening injuries, through specific brain strategies. And for all of us, he shows how we can enrich our lives by having sharper, more resilient, and smarter minds. Deepak Chopra often talks about strengthening your brain. Wayne Dyer’s discussed it. Tony Robbins talks about NLP. And Dr. Michael Merzenich helps you life muscles with the mind, simply and easily, to give you the super-powered brain you always wished you had! Lastly, as someone who has met the Dalai Lama several times, Dr. Merzenich discusses ways we can use our minds to increase compassion, kindness, happiness, and joy. These are things we could all use more of!!! Inspiration | Motivation | Self-Help | Health | Business | Careers
