Ep 174IE174 Josh Gryniewicz: Crafting Change through Storytelling: Social Impact, and Saving Lives (OddDuck)
In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews Josh Gryniewicz, a storyteller, storytelling consultant and writer. He is founder of Odd Duck LLC., a boutique storytelling for social change communication firm, that works with nonprofits, NGOs, social impact start-ups, and issue-based documentaries to help them shape their narrative.Josh Gryniewicz is co-host of the beautiful Story Matters podcast. This podcast is about why story actually does matter. It focuses on the use of story for social change and the power of narrative to shape culture, especially during times of crisis. We are going through climate change and social challenges that are threatening our democracy and safety. We are also in the middle of a global pandemic. But Josh and Story Matters give hope. This podcast uses the power of imagination conveyed by narrative to overcome all the adversity and sad things that we are facing in this world. “We need to think more broadly and that means a call for radical imagination and changing the narrative of everything that brought us to this point”“Narrative gives us the structure to reimagine what's possible and see solutions”Story Matters brings the storytelling campfire experience right to you! If you would like to listen to it, please go to: https://www.storymatters.site/Josh and Amrit dive deep into the heart of “story”. They share an entertaining and fascinating conversation about the depths and history of “story”, and what it means to be living your story. Josh is a storyteller above all and covers more than 45000 years of evolutionary storytelling history. Amrit is wisdom hungry and completely fascinated about storytelling ever since he can talk. They both turn this episode into a moment of bliss.Amrit makes reference to experts in psychology, mythology, unified physics, religion, literature, philosophy, neuroscience and human cultural evolution amongst others to explore his point. He believes that wisdom, especially in his country, was passed on to later generations through the ability of storytelling, and we have lost some of that art because of the need of writing and not being able to transmit stories verbally. He sees clearly how much story informs us as human beings and our story and narrative. We are connected to our story and our story informs our presence; the way we live is through our character and the character is in our story. Josh believes a lot of storytelling is a learning tool but going back to the aboriginal origins, he remarks that it was used for a cooperative purpose. In regards to written word as opposed to the oral traditions, he affirms that when you start recording a series of events in a factual and detailed way all it does is reinforce the protagonist models making us follow somebody through a narrative from beginning to end.This isolates us and takes us away from the collective model where we are all together getting bits of that story and sharing that space.When Josh is training, he talks a lot about Joseph Campbell’s “Hero Myth”, a common template of stories that involve a hero who goes on an adventure, is victorious in a decisive crisis, and comes home changed or transformed. And also refers to his favourite and beautiful concept of “Sonder”, the realization that each random passer-by is living a life as vivid and complex as your own. Josh embodies and strongly believes that every single one of us has an informed rich inner life, we all have our own experiences, and we are all protagonists in our own stories. Everybody is in a story with their own story and collectively trying to bring all those stories together.Sharing story can heal you. Josh has witnessed it at first hand and states that healing is about looking at your trauma through your lense and taking ownership and action over it. And each time you heal, your story shifts including more of what is relevant in your life and reducing the trauma.Finally, Josh talks about why we identify with some characters in movies and books. When you identify with a character, you identify with their narrative and this activates the same parts of your brain, so what you are sensing is because you are very in tuned with your own mind. He also shares a short hilarious story about Hemingway you can't miss, as well as another couple of arguments to demonstrate there is something about how the viewer, listener, experiencer, audiencer, of the story interprets what they see and how they incorporate it into their own experiences.Gryniewicz shares ways in which people can connect to their own story. He himself is focussed on sharing stories publicly and connects by journaling and picking up things of his day, looking at them in different ways and trying to understand how important they are to him. Personally he suggests you pay attention to the stories you tell yourself and why you tell them in a certain way. If you see it needs to be changed, then change it. In this chapter you will learn how t

Ep 173IE173 Daniel Packard: Revolutionary Anxiety Healing: Master Your Nervous System & Inner Child (Anxiety Cure)
In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews Daniel Packard, a mechanical engineer, professional stand-up comedian, coach, award winning trainer and speaker. He is the owner of You 2.0, an innovative online training where he trains you to fully Upgrade Your Selfware. He has created an innovative and profound approach to personal change. Daniel believes that personal development can support you, but many times it magnifies your own struggles and your patterns keep repeating. You might be doing all sorts of things to address your own issues but find that nothing works or helps you make a shift. He has discovered a solution to keep you off the hamster wheel. It is a fun, simple, and solvable solution that will help you get your power back to be completely free of what holds you back and understand yourself in a whole new way.Daniel developed a model of understanding. All these patterns are symptoms that come from the root core of your “selfware” (software that operates you as a system) and he has identified two “glitches'' (created by past experiences) in it that are responsible for the ways in which you navigate the world. Stress, insecurity, unhappiness, lack of success, unhealthy relationships are all just symptoms of these core glitches in our “Selfware”. If you don’t heal these core glitches, these symptoms just keep following you around.Daniel and Amrit dive deep into a conversation about personal development, the disruption of it and Daniel’s revolutionary effective solution to personal change that stems from his own personal journey. Daniel took more than fifteen years to develop this solution.Daniel had been working on his personal development for several years when he was struck by PTSD reaching rock bottom. In complete agony, depression and the mindset of an engineer, Daniel realized he had been managing symptoms for too long and he didn't want to manage symptoms anymore. He wanted to be free of symptoms.Lying in a hammock he managed to see the whole matrix. He had been doing everything backwards. He decided he had to flip this whole thing on its end, to be free. So, he left his comfort zone and started figuring out a solution.He went to the root cause of his symptoms, healed the root cause with a process, and a couple of years later, the symptoms were gone and all what he had been working for, naturally appeared.Once Daniel saw that these glitches in our Selfware were creating all the patterns, he then spent another ten years working with over a thousand people to design, develop and perfect an innovative internal process that allows you to simply and quickly upgrade the 'glitches' in your 'Selfware.'His tools and systems are deeply effective, but also practical and easy to learn.If you would like to book a call with Daniel Packard, go to: https://www.danielpackard.com/call - Please fill out your details in the form and his assistant will reach out to you to help schedule your call. In this call Daniel will show you proof of his concept. Amrit himself has experienced Daniel’s work first hand, finding it utterly effective, and soon will be continuing the whole training process. “Take the struggles and upgrade the glitch so you don't have any more rock bottoms”“You don't have to keep on working on yourself for all your life. You only need a couple of weeks to be free of the pattern”Level up your life with unlimited access to every Mindvalley Quest Program (over 30+ programs). All Yours.

Ep 172IE172 Dr. Harry Adelson: Stem Cells: A New Era in Regenerative Medicine - Revolutionizing Pain Relief and more...
In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews Dr. Harry Adelson, N.D., naturopathic physician and stem cell specialist. He is the inventor of the Full-Body Stem Cell Make-Over and the owner at Docere Clinics in Salt Lake City, USA, a company dedicated to the practice of 100% regenerative injection therapies for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain conditions.Dr. Adelson is a leader in the field of regenerative medicine procedures including adult stem cells and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection therapies for chronic pain. He is one of the very early adopters of stem cell therapy for the treatment of chronic spine pain and is among the most experienced in the world. Pain is something we can all experience some time or another. And when it becomes chronic, it can be incredibly draining and destroy your quality of life and sense of purpose. Usually, chronic pain is something we experience as we get older, but it can happen anytime. We must take care and support our body’s own sagacity to recover rather than use approaches that suppress. “Pain of the low back, neck, and joints is the leading cause of disability worldwide.”Dr. Harry Adelson and Amrit talk about Dr. Adelson’s stem cell therapy to treat pain of the low back, neck, and joints so you can have a sense of purpose, get your life back and live it to the fullest. Dr. Harry Adelson was fascinated about rock climbing, and during training, he got his shoulder labrum torn. This happened when he was only twenty five, extremely healthy and attending naturopathic school.No treatments solved the problem until he came across Dr Rick Marinelli. This doctor was the first naturopathic doctor to do prolotherapy, an injection of natural substances that tricks the body to launch the body’s natural healing cascade.Dr. Adelson received this successful treatment and then began doing it himself. He did it for more than six years. Soon after he came across PRP with which he got to do the job in half as many treatments as in prolotherapy. After several years practicing PRP, Harry received a patient in his office. This lady wanted him to put bone marrow stem cells into her painful knee. Not sure about whether he could do it or not, she convinced him. Ever since 2010, he has been doing narrow bone aspirations.Harry and Amrit dive deep into regenerative medicine; the body’s ability to heal itself, the cutting-edge bone marrow aspirations, the process of healing and the way he proceeds in his treatment. When you undergo an injury your stem cells (stem cells exist in all the tissues in our body, and their job is to maintain the health of their microenvironment) launch a healing cascade but if you don't have complete healing then you have a chronic pain syndrome. And people with chronic syndromes are the ones Harry and his team treat. The treatment is based on taking stem cells from your bone marrow and your fat, and then injecting them into the damaged zone, getting the body’s natural healing cascade going. By tricking the body there, generates a new injury that will launch a healing cascade. The body gets a second chance at healing.When elder people’s stem cells lose their ability to manufacture and secrete exosomes, which are the actual active ingredient of the stem cells, the therapy team supplements their narrow bone stem cells and fat stem cells with placental stem cell derived exosomes, making their stem cell function like that of a younger person.The whole procedure of the treatment is done under intravenous sedation using either fluoroscopic needle guidance or ultrasound needle guidance for every injection.During healing, your body goes through different phases. First inflamation and then remodelling which can take almost a year. The cost of these treatments tend to be high. For this same reason, Dr. Harry has a Tithing Program. A program in which he performs stem cell procedures to the medically underserved at no charge either to combat service veterans or else in exchange for community service hours.If you would like to have access to this program, please go here: https://www.docereclinics.com/tithing-programLast, but not least they converse about tissue engineering which is still in a very early stage of research.Level up your life with unlimited access to every Mindvalley Quest Program (over 30+ programs).

Ep 171IE171 John Assaraf: Master Your Mind: The Ultimate Guide to Achieving Anything with Neuroplasticity
In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews John Assaraf, leading mindset and behaviour expert, lecturer, well-known entrepreneur, best selling author, brain researcher, philanthropist, teacher, tv actor and the founder and CEO of NeuroGym.John’s latest bestselling book “Innercise: The New Science to Unlock Your Brain’s Hidden Power” helps you recognize and release the mental and emotional blocks that prevent you from achieving your life’s biggest goals and dreams.If you would like to have mental and emotional techniques to strengthen your mindset and unleash the hidden power of your brain, you can get a copy Innercise here: https://inspiredevolution.com/recommends/john-assaraf/Amrit and John dive deep into how thoughts lead to behaviour that generates results, and John’s neural reconditioning process and “innercises” you can start doing TODAY to change your habitual subconscious patterns and disempowering emotions that are holding you back from thriving personally, professionally and financially.When John Assaraf built his first real estate company at the age of twenty six, something was holding his agents back. Although they were making fortunes in sales, something was preventing them from making more. Despite training and upgrading their knowledge, they kept stuck. John discovered that once they became conditioned to earning a certain amount, they were repeating the same pattern over and over again keeping them stuck in their comfort zone. Through research John found out we become conditioned to certain ways and then repeat the patterns, as part of our brains' way to conserve energy and keep us in our comfort zone. He needed to uncover what would break his agents free from this conditioning. And that was what a mentor did with him in his early twenties. This coach not only helped him upgrade his knowledge and skills but trained his brain to develop the necessary beliefs to achieve his goals. He worked on upgrading his self inner, self worth and self esteem, and on how to manage his emotions of doubt, fear and uncertainty. They did “innercises” to upgrade his capacity as he upgraded his skills. So, John took 75 agents from the 1200, and coached them everyday for six months to upgrade their mindset to match the skill set. Over six months they increased in sales by one hundred million dollars more than they normally did. John proved that if you work on the inner game, you can affect the outer game. The lack of knowledge or skill doesn’t hold you back from reaching your fullest potential. It is your mindset, emotional blocks, and deeply ingrained habits that you must get rid of to clear the path towards victory and living the life of your dreams.Limiting beliefs, traumas and excuses are reinforced subconscious patterns that cause you to think, feel, and consistently behave in ways that produce the same results again and again. And there are several ways to disrupt patterns and create better ones. In this chapter John shares a couple of innercises to strengthen your mind when you are in a state of procrastination, doubt, anxiety or stress. The first one is a powerful breathing exercise and the second one is called A.I.A, used to reprogram your operating system through awareness, intention, and action, one simple and small action.These two innercises help you take control over your brain. Being aware of the pattern, interrupting it, and choosing what you want versus what you don't, will make you evolve. Then, if you do that over a long period of time, you will have a new dominant pattern and your old one will start to disappear. “What is the minimum that you can commit to doing that you will stick to for one hundred days?”“You can't master complexity without mastering simplicity first”“Our biggest growth comes out of a point of resistance and pushing past that until we have created a new pattern”About John Assaraf:John Assaraf is one of the leading mindset and behavioral experts in the world who has appeared numerous times on Larry King Live, Anderson Cooper and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.His latest bestselling book Innercise: The Proven Science to Unleash Your Brain’s Hidden Power, helps individuals recognize and release the mental and emotional blocks that prevent them from achieving their fullest potential.John has built 5 multimillion-dollar companies including taking one public on NASDAQ and growing Re/Max of Indiana to 1200 sales associates and $4.5 billion a year in sales.He has written 2 New York Times Bestselling books that have been translated to 35 languages and has been featured in 10 movies, including the blockbuster hit “The Secret” and "Quest For Success" with Richard Branson and the Dalai Lama.Today, he is the founder and CEO of NeuroGym, a company dedicated to using the most advanced technologies and evidence-based brain training methods to help individuals strengthen their mindset and emotional skills, so they achieve their goals faster

Ep 170IE170 Shelly Lefkoe: Break Free & Thrive: How to Remove Limiting Beliefs Forever with the Proven Lefkoe Method
In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews Shelly Lefkoe, speaker, workshop leader, and author of Parenting the Lefkoe Way.“Belief is a statement about reality which you think is the truth.”All behaviour is belief driven. Beliefs stop serving you when they begin to impact your behaviour and limit what you believe you can achieve or have in your life. No matter how many self-help books you read or courses you do, you won’t change your behaviour until you change your belief.Most of our beliefs are held unconsciously. They may be holding you back from reaching your goals and feeling truly content and you may not even be conscious that you have them. Shelly and Amrit dive deep into the elegant, effective and revolutionary process to eliminate beliefs that are limiting your progress towards your dreams and living the life you deserve. This process is about consciously working through your deeply-held belief and actively challenging it. You can change your belief and behaviour pattern in order to build the life of your dreams.Limiting beliefs are created in childhood and then stay with you. We all set our hearts on affection, attention, and acknowledgment; when they are not fulfilled, we begin to give meaning to specific events and create beliefs over time. Happiness or suffering is determined by the meaning we give events. Not only limiting beliefs are created in childhood. Most behaviour is driven by our deeply ingrained and typically unconscious beliefs created in our early years. Listen to Shelly and Amrit discuss hoy we can reframe the negative meaning we have given to a particular situation to break through limiting beliefs.They also talk about the importance of having a good self esteem in a society being geared to make you feel you are not good enough. There is a lot of messaging that you get that wants you to believe that you have to be a certain way to fit in. But if you get rid of the beliefs that say that is true, the message will not buy in.Furthermore, they talk about parenting and how by being conscious in the way you raise your children you can create more confident, kind and empathetic kids. You can empower them with positive beliefs about themselves and life, and help them create a happy life they deserve.In this episode you will learn how to recognize your limiting beliefs and identify the root of your beliefs to see the pattern and start reframing what you know is true.“The biggest gift from my work is to get the freedom to be authentic.”If you would like to eliminate a limiting belief for free, please go to: https://www.recreateyourlife.com/store/eliminate-belief-free.php If you would like to work on nineteen esteem beliefs, please go to: https://recreateyourlife.com/store/natural-confidence.php#order Level up your life with unlimited access to every Mindvalley Quest Program (over 30+ programs).

Ep 169IE169 Kerwin Rae: How to Be Unstoppable: Master 'Elite' Strategies for Success in Life, Business & Beyond!
In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews Kerwin Rae, Australia’s leading business strategist, businessman, coach, mentor, author, investor, and international speaker. He is the host of “The Unstoppable” podcast.This episode is all about helping others. Amrit and Kerwin have a deep conversation about how Kerwin helps people to succeed in their business and their personal development, and unlock the best within to facilitate the best life ever.They dive into Kerwin’s unstoppable journey into becoming a consultant.Kerwin was drawn to business from a very early age. From selling horse manure at the age of twelve door to door to working in the security business. In between, Kerwin has had almost fifty jobs working hard every day non-stop. And since he started his first business at the age of twenty three, he has successfully overcome both business and personal adversity. Kerwin realized he had far more potential than he ever thought and stepped into the entrepreneurial world. He partnered with his mentor and started making business with him. Ever since, packed up with a load of experience and with the most effective mindset and skills in business development, marketing, sales, human behaviour, and entrepreneurial psychology, he has been doing what he most loves to do, helping business owners succeed and helping people succeed. Furthermore, they talk about the importance in serving yourself because there is a correlation between personal growth and business growth. If you work on yourself and grow, then your business grows too. It is not only about working on strengths, and weaknesses, but about noticing, realizing and working on those things you carry within that keep you from reaching success. They also talk about the best experience in his life, Noah, his son. They dive into Kerwin’s obsession with human performance and the importance of modelling wisdom and love, not wounds, when parenting. Through his own experience, Kerwin believes you have to become the best version of yourself to be able to help others and parent your child. He is profoundly convinced that everything he does, everything he says and every single environment he places Noah in, is going to affect in some way his progress. They also converse about different concepts he shares with all his clients and tools to succeed in life such as:The importance of values. Values are connected to who you are and there is always an opportunity to pair them to different meanings. A value never changes, but its definition or its understanding of expression can, and will, as you grow.The importance of performance and being aligned with something that is important to you. The more you are aligned with what is important, the more you will achieve levels of flow. Flow being an incredibly important ingredient in any form of hustle and challenge.The importance of competing with yourself. Compete with yourself. Do what you like and get better at it, always regulating your stress and emotions.The power of learning through others' experience. As Kerwin would say “The more I ask for help, the easier life becomes” And the ability to process information and the importance of duality. How important it is looking at things and seeing the bad but at the same time being able to see the good; seeing them both simultaneously as one whole picture.“Love is a synthesis of complementary opposites seen in synchronicity. It's where you can see the good in someone; the personality traits, behaviours, and expressions, and the bad in someone; the personality traits, behaviours, and expressions simultaneously – and be accepting. Life is dual – that's life.”About Kerwin Rae:Helping over 100,000 businesses in 154 different industries throughout 11 countries worldwide, with his revolutionary, no bulls*** approach to business growth and personal development, Kerwin Rae is one to watch.Having lived through six near-death experiences including a stroke at the age of 34, Kerwin Rae consistently defies the odds and has turned his struggles into strengths. Kerwin failed every class due to undiagnosed dyslexia and ADHD, and now uses his platform to empower people with the personal development skills and resilient mindset that has enabled him to succeed in life.Kerwin has a background in sales and business development, having spent much of his life building and flipping businesses to great success. He now applies his business acumen to helping small business owners grow and scale their business through five key pillars; leadership, marketing, sales, planning, and mindset.With the current climate rather unpredictable due to COVID-19, Kerwin has worked tirelessly to adapt his business to be more accessible for those in need. Through this he has released his Corona Care Package, a free accessible series of webinars via Facebook giving those in need a plethora of world leading experts advice on maintaining one's business during such unprecedented times.Due to the success

Ep 167IE167 Jake Heilbrunn: Mental Health Transformed: How to Replace Anxiety With Purpose
In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews Jake Heilbrunn, an international TEDx speaker, best-selling author, host of Curious with Jake Heilbrunn Podcast and Head of Partnerships at Conscious Counsel.Purpose consists of the central motivating aims of your life. It is the reason why you get up in the morning. Purpose can guide your life decisions, influence behavior, shape goals, offer a sense of direction, and create meaning. Purpose can heal. Purpose can heal anxiety and so much more.Jake and Amrit talk about Jake’s anxiety healing journey, his path towards self-discovery and purpose, and his greatest lessons learned along the way.At the age of seventeen, Jake started university and began to break out with hives, rashes all over his body and soon after with anxiety. He was on a path of pressure, a path based on expectations of others, a path where he certainly was not happy and was causing more pain than good.Jake wanted to change. He wanted to pursue his dreams. He felt the urge to experience another way of life, a journey of self-discovery. At the age of 18, he took courage and made the hard decision to leave college. He bought a one way ticket to Guatemala where he spent months backpacking through Central America all alone, without a phone and three words of spanish.He wanted to know who he was, what he was capable of and needed to pave his own trail. He listened to his inner voice following his intuition, trusting his instincts that things were going to work out.Jake’s body was telling him something, something in him wasn’t aligned. Taking this new path, not only helped him recover from the rash, but also helped him figure out who he was, unrevealing all the opportunities that have led his life to where he is today. He also discovered the importance of having courage and following it and how important it is to trust yourself. Furthermore, Amrit and Jake dive deep into a raw conversation about Jake getting this lesson twice but in a different way.A couple of years later, Jake’s life was knocked over. He was hit by Lyme disease. For almost ten months in severe pain and suffering, he had to be in bed. This impacted his entrepreneurial life, having to bow out from the company he co-created from 0 to $2.5M in revenue in just 2 years, his personal and his love life as well. Jake felt completely shut down and all alone.Listening to people who have been through the same chronic disease, surfing the ocean, and being in flow with the waves and every single moment, have helped Jake on his healing journey. This extremely challenging disease helped him discover his hypesensitive energy and learn how to be hyper aligned with saying no and letting go. Jake affirms that the journey towards recovery was about learning to listen. He strongly believes his journey here on earth is intuition and that the universe talks to us in many different ways. It appears with a whisper but if you don't pay attention every time it will appear with more and more force.In this chapter of Inspired Evolution you will learn how to heal anxiety and depression through purpose, learn how to take courage to do things you believe are right by following your intuition, discover the beauty of peace by letting things go and discover that in darkness there is always hope.“I say to myself: How can I be the most aligned with the thing that sets my soul on fire? Because that is the medicine for the world!”“When you pursue something that you choose, even if it is scary, it makes problems less haunting”About Jake Heilbrunn:At the age of nineteen, Jake Heilbrunn published 'Off the Beaten Trail', a memoir that has been described as the young dude version of 'Eat Pray Love' fused with a modern-day 'Into the Wild'....but with a happy ending ;) The book became #1 on Amazon in 2 categories, has over 50 5-star reviews, and has gained the attention of multiple NYT best-selling authors, including Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup of the Soul founder, 500+ Million copies sold), The San Diego Union-Tribune, Psychology Today, and various other media outlets.He is a passionate TEDx speaker, who has spoken to 15,000+ people across 6 countries, to audiences ranging from High School assemblies, Universities like USC, corporations like REMAX and organizations like NAMI. When Jake speaks, his intention is to inspire people to replace anxiety with passion, find what makes them tick, feel at peace with their mental health journey and live purposefully.In 2017, Jake co-founded and built The Idea Collective with his business partner, Taylor Conroy. From scratch, they grew the company from 0 to $2.5M in revenue in 2 years and helped over 200 purpose-driven leaders share their messages with the world, landing talks at TED, TEDx, Fortune 500 companies, Universities and features in Goalcast, Forbes, ABC & Entrepreneur.

Ep 166IE166 Michael Bayliss: Beyond Sustainability: The Trouble with Infinite Games, Finite Rules (Post-Growth Podcast)
In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews Michael Bayliss, a vocal advocate within the environmental and post-growth movements. What is post-growth?The world economy focuses on infinite growth: growth in national production, growth in profits, growth in consumption, growth in financial markets, growth in population. Several political ideologies such as capitalism, socialism and communism, have come to accept that economic growth is the way. All growth inclinations have led to huge changes in terms of the relationship between humans and the earth, and the relationships we have with each other. They sustain that these changes are good, but these changes harm the earth’s ability to sustain us.Post Growth is an emerging perspective. It is about building on the existing aspects of our world that are sustainable in order to create resilient futures. This includes strengthening ecologically and socially sustainable practices, while recognizing the finite resources of planet earth.Michael is a critical thinker who trusts in campaigning for alternatives to infinite growth. His work is focussed on advocacy regarding choice for small families and for working cooperatively with our global neighbours to create equitable societies that do not rely on perpetual growth.Clearly there are lots of things to be concerned about and some things need to change. In this chapter, Amrit and Michael interchange perspectives and some differing viewpoints as they turn stones over and have the right conversations to keep going towards the future that we see and want to call in. Michael strongly believes that if you don't have an intimate relationship with people you can't make decisions on their behalf properly and that a diversified well being economy is not about how many things we have, but how much we are valued and validated by the people around us.Additionally, there is an interesting conversation about spirituality and activism.Way back, Michael used to be very argumentative. Doing the inner work on spirituality helped not only his ego get over with being wrong but has also made him more humble. They also have insights about focusing on what one wants to see more of in the world, playing the hero to the victim and how important it is to find a balance in between spirituality and activism. Staying out of language and always coming from a place of compassion and engagement is the only way.In this episode you will have access to different alternatives to infinite growth. You will learn how to make a proper use of resources, start making an impact and how to engage with somebody else who has another set of values.“The intersection between spirituality and activism can result in compassionate advocacy and engagement for a better word”“It is really nice once your ego can get over with being wrong”If you would like to learn more about Holistic Activism, to bring together activism and mindful practices, please go to: https://holisticactivism.net/ If you would like to learn more about post growth please go to Post-Growth Australia Podcast: https://pgap.fireside.fm/ If you would like to listen to Michael Bayliss’ contemplative, existential, art rock music with a a collective stream of consciousness, please go to: https://shockoctopus.bandcamp.com/About Michael Bayliss:Michael Bayliss has been an activist for the past decade within the environmental and post-growth movements. He is the host of the Post-Growth Australia Podcast, which he has launched since July to interview experts and game changers on alternatives to the growth based capitalist societies in which we currently live and is the co-founder of Holistic Activism, a movement which is seeking to bring together activism and mindful practices.Michael is the Communications Manager and former Victoria/Tasmanian President at Sustainable Population Australia (SPA).

He is a participant in the international Post Growth Alliance, run by the Post Growth Institute.

PPP has since delivered workshops to activists and environmentalists across Australia. This year he will be helping to launch the Town Planning Rebellion movement.Michael takes his policies into his home life, where he lives in an intentional shared-living community based on the Retrosuburbia principles, where he looks after a lush permaculture garden. He writes songs around environmental and climate change grief with his band Shock Octopus.Tune In: Welcome Michael Bayliss to the Ins

She addressed to her soul baby’s essence that she would be fine whether she showed up or whether she didn't. Sarah got comfortable with that uncertainty and that feeling was the miraculous leverage point for the universe to connect with her and say everything would be alright. Sarah surrendered and, there was the heartbeat. Being comfortable with that uncertainty and open to all possibilities gave Sarah her best reward. Today, Sarah is mother to two beautiful kids.Sarah and Amrit have a fun conversation about the art of manifesting.They dive deep into Sarah’s three elemental steps of manifestation: getting clarity and having a vision of what you want, making it really important to feel and how you want to feel, and detaching and letting go of the outcome.They also cave into effective tools to navigate and reach each step of manifestation. They talk about how important it is to label yourself with what you are good at and the need of clarity in communication and language when finding your vision, how important it is to have an optimistic, joyful and grateful attitude towards worry and adversity because if you do better things can happen, about the importance of moments of surrender, and reaching the awareness that being open to all possibilities is the key to your manifestation. Furthermore, they speak about the cultivation of a mindset to choose everyday in your life and why it is so important to choose humour.Every single moment in life is a choice point. You can choose how you react, direct your energy and take ownership of your emotions. By choosing and taking self responsibility you can manifest your own reality.

Ep 151IE151 Lorie Norton’s: Epic Charity Drive Odyssey Across Australia: 26,000km of Philanthropy, Adventure & Impact (through the 'Double-Decker' Twice As Nice Cafe & Gallery)
In this week’s episode, Amrit is very happy to interview Lawrence Norton who is sitting in a classroom of an aboriginal community way up in The Kimberleys, plateau region of northern Western Australia. Lorie is Amrit’s lifelong warm hearted friend, and is the founder at Twice as Nice Gallery Cafe, a business selling coffee to raise funds for the Eli’s Gift Foundation. This foundation aims to alleviate the financial burden on families with sick children.Amrit and Lorie dive deep into Lorie’s most fulfilling and adventurous 17.000 km journey across Australia in selfless service to others. All the way from Melbourne to Sydney, up to Cairns, down and right across the middle of the country, coming back through Perth and all the way up to The Kimberleys at 45kms/h in Corazón, his 1949 Leyland Sydney double decker bus!They talk about how and why Lorie started his business, what was his life like five years ago, why he chose Eli’s Gift for charity and the most amazing stories and people he came across on his way.While working as a linesman, Lorie decided he wanted to focus on just one thing, one thing from the heart, and so he did. He refurbished a bus and set off on a journey for a charity cause.It took him 18 months of hard work to get the bus ready and bright, and a lot of courage to leave a 9 to 5 job, sell all his possessions and all alone set off on a long trip. All he took were his musical instruments, spirituality, a couple of Twice as Nice shirts, and a skill which he discovered on the way, which was painting with coffee and selling the art to sustain the bus with food and fuel. As from painting with waste coffee and with a 14 year project experience, Lorie thought it would be appropriate to branch out into the world of coffee table books. Today he has his own book, “Clare and the Koa Tree”, a book written in a beautiful town called Clare in the South of Australia and developed as a story book for his two loving nieces Ella and Edi. Check it out: https://inspiredevolution.com/recommends/clare-and-the-koa-tree/Through Lorie’s experience you will learn all what it takes to be successful by focussing and committing yourself to just one thing, how to get out of a comfort zone and push all boundaries, and how to be resilient no matter what happens along your way.And last but not least, you will learn how to set yourself up for service!“The more I give, the more I receive”If you would like to help Lorie fuel his journey, please do it here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/mhxnwc-twice-as-niceIf you would like to make a difference and lessen the financial burdens experienced by families with children that are ill, please donate here: https://www.elisgift.org.au/#donate Thanks in advance for your support!About Lawrence NortonLawrence discovered the 1949 Leyland Sydney bus when he was working as a linesman 12 years ago, and in a drop moment, he knew he was going to use it for a charity drive.Now Lorie operates his own business, the Twice as Nice Gallery Cafe, out of the double decker bus which he has owned for a number of years and has spent eighteen years working on; painting, restoring plumbing and installing appropriate furniture and equipment. This bus with a tremendous vibe is called Corazón, and the only possessions Lorie has taken with him are his harmonic and handpan. Lorie overtone sings while he drives Corazón all around Australia at 45 km/h, stopping at various caravan parks and other pit stops serving coffee for 5$ to residents so he can raise funds for The Eli's Gift Foundation, a foundation that raises money for families of seriously-ill children. Lawrence raises money simply by serving coffee, selling art (including his own unique coffee art) out of his bus and has a number of companies providing sponsorship to help him on his journey. He received help from a friend to kick-start his business of coffee. She taught him one on one how to be a barista and encouraged him to complete a barista course. Ever since, Lorie has been on the road in service to others, and is ready for his next project.Tune In: Welcome Lawrence Norton to the Inspired Evolution!: (00:00:00)Where did Twice as Nice Gallery Café start?: (00:03:17)What happens if you have ten projects going on, and you dedicate only a 10% to each one of them?

In Conscious Luck he is able to put everything together as to how to make yourself lucky.“If you are the luckiest person that you have ever met, what you want to do is make everyone else feel the same way too”17:14 - Luck as a Way of Living That HealsGay talks about our spirit radar. Something inside which looks for new opportunities and can heal. He thinks our spirit radar is just like the one some animals have in nature.

Ep 140IE140 Scott Carney: Mastering Extremes: Transforming Stress into Strength (Through Unconventional Methods)
Scott Carney is an investigative journalist, anthropologist, and author. About ScottScott lives in Denver Co., was based for a long time in India, speaks Hindi and has done reporting and investigations in some of the most dangerous parts of the world. His work blends narrative non-fiction with ethnography, and he writes for a popular audience always trying to blend his methods and questions of anthropology. He has written about organ trafficking, the dangers of meditation and how to tap into a fundamental aspect of the mind body connection. After writing his book on “gurus”, Scott intended to debunk Wim Hof, trying his methods of immersing himself into cold and placing himself into extremely uncomfortable situations intending to build high levels of endurance and resilience. He even climbed a mountain 15 degrees below zero in his bathing suit! Scott discovered this man would transform his life and be the pinpoint of his best seller. These experiences helped Scott discover a new technique which has the name of his latest book “The Wedge: Evolution, Consciousness, Stress, and The Key to Human Resilience”, a method to gain resilience to any environmental stimulus wedging control over automatic physiological responses into the breaking point between stress and biology.Scott was a contributing editor at Wired and his writing also appears in Mother Jones, Men’s Journal, Playboy, Foreign Policy, Discover, Outside and Fast Company. His work has been the subject of a variety of radio and television programs, including on NPR and National Geographic TV. In 2010, he won the Payne Award for Ethics in Journalism for his story “Meet the Parents,” which tracked an international kidnapping-to-adoption ring.If you would like to listen to Scott Carney’s latest book “The Wedge: Evolution, Consciousness, Stress, and The Key to Human Resilience”, please go to: https://amz.run/3Y9MIf you would like to read his other books, please go to: New York Times best selling "What Doesn't Kill Us": https://amz.run/3Y9N“The Red Market”: https://amz.run/3Y9O“The Enlightenment Trap”: https://amz.run/3Y9PMentioned resources: Steven Kotler and Wim HofToday Scott joins us to talk about Identifying the Wedge and How To Disrupt Patterns of Behaviour. Tune In: 00:32 - Nexus Being a Journalist and Being an AnthropologistScott has written for several american publications and continues writing to a bigger audience. He is the author of four books, and his works consist of blending methods and questions of anthropology. Dutch fitness guru Wim Hof has been his guide and has inspired his life with his immersing into cold and breathing techniques. With his book “What Doesn’t Kill Us” he explores the true connection between the mind and the body and reveals the science that allows us to push past our perceived limitations; with his new book “The Wedge”, he investigates into the limits of endurance discovering how humans have a moment of control over automatic physiological responses into the breaking point between stress and biology. We have the power in how to react and that is according to the state our nervous system is in, either parasympathetic referred to the system that restores the body to rest or sympathetic referred to the system that prepares the body for the fight or flight response, both branches of the vagus nerve.“We have the power in how we react to stress”09:50 - Reasons Why We Spend So Much of Our Time Jacked Scott refers to grit and individuality when talking about spending so much time jacked. People tend to love grit, impose their will on the world and feel they always have to be the best. In a competitive world people have a drive to compare themselves to others, and don’t really know what they want. Scott mentions Steven Kotler who talks about “Flow” and about the way people see “Flow”. Flow is about cooperating with the environment and the energy around you, but people from their ego use it to valorize moments of others. Flow is about connecting with others and not about ego. “We are always trying to become some version of perfection, and that is a big mistake”12:55 - Scott’s Favourite Wedges To Shift State Scott uses his ten techniques and they have helped him see people the way they are. He considers only one truth as to who we are as a person, and it is defined by who we are and how we respond under pressure or any potential danger. Clearly moments of rest don’t define us but are necessary. We need to focus on taking on challenges knowing that when we face them, sensations come in through our nerves inducing emotions. Like if you overcome something frightening, you could always stop and take a moment to see what you can do; you have the power of choice to shift state. “The association with the external environment, the sensation and the emotion, is all part of one process that acts together”16:12 - Extremes Scott Faces in His Daily Routine Scott assures his

Ep 139IE139 Shanna Lee: Unlocking Soul Frequency: Transform & Empower Your Authentic Self
Shanna Lee is an intuitive coach, writer, speaker and the founder of The Soul Frequency, a platform created to teach people how to go from a successful life to living authentically and being fulfilled. Shanna has her own podcast and is the number one best selling author of “The Soul Frequency: Your Health, Awakened and Authentic Life”About ShannaAfter having built a successful financial and respected career, Shanna realized that reaching the top made her unhappy and unfulfilled. She discovered that her whole career journey was based on expectations, when it should have been based on intuition. That is how she decided to knock down this reality and construct a new fulfilling one based on a unique intuitive insight on life, love and truth. She now helps others work out their own intuition in order to create an authentic life. She has coached over three hundred people in the areas of personal performance, business development and creative endeavors, including executives of Fortune 500 companies, notable Broadway stars and small business owners. Today Shanna joins us to talk about The Truth is Ultimate Harmony. If you interested in reading Shanna Lee’s book, please go to: https://amz.run/3WcZTune In: 00:55 - Defining Soul FrequencyShanna defines soul frequency as your own energetic fingerprint. As from her own experience understanding it and knowing about all its facets, Shanna now teaches you how to understand your own energy, as well as how to be embodied and aligned with it.“Just like we have a unique fingerprint, we have a unique energy”01:40 - How do we Identify our Energetic Fingerprint? Shanna talks about acceptance as one of the major reasons why we develop things that are out of alignment with our own energy. Addictive behaviour and distraction are a couple of symptoms of disharmony in our life and when these take place, we are not experiencing life fully on an emotional level. Shanna mentions that being aligned to what we have come here for generates a flow of energy which fulfills our soul and generates tons of opportunities for you.“When energy creates opportunities for you, that is how you know you are in harmony”06:20 - Difference between Alignment and Balance Alignment and balance are two different things and Shanna wades into nature to make that difference clear. She refers to expansion and contraction. In regards to alignment, you are going to have a lot of universal forces and opportunities at your back which can make you feel “expansive” but can also make you feel overwhelmed. This is where balance takes action by choosing and deciding when to stop and rest “contract” from all those opportunities that are coming in. Contraction is necessary to find your balance, it avoids burn-out from living in constant expansion and allows a greater expansion than before.“Like in nature, everything that expands, contracts”14:22 - Challenges and Lessons in Shannon’s LifeShanna thinks life lessons are about strength and understanding humanity, and talks about the challenge of making new choices. After having gone through a massive experience herself, she strongly believes in our ability to make choices that can create new realities for ourselves. In her experience, reaching what she thought was the top of her successful career would make her more and more unfulfilled and unhappy. She was able to make space for a choice, either go on with an unfulfilling life or step aside, and create a new one. She created a new one, one with a spiritual awakening and based on intuition. “Making new choices is our human super power”23:46 - The Truth Will Heal YouThere are universal and personal truths that can change in time. Shanna talks about truth as energetic alignment, as something that turns things into motion and can change people’s trajectories in life. With truth you start making choices as from a right stand point. She brings people’s truths only up to conscious awareness, then it takes an energetic life of its own, choosing its own track to evolve. Truth can come from different areas in life and shift energy in other spaces, but there is always some point from where we can start to get to the deeper truth. Shanna also talks about collective vibration. She believes that we are a collective vibration of what is inside of us, so if we create harmony within, vibration will be harmony in our life and in our environment.“Truth is ultimate harmony”Connect with Shanna:Website: https://thesoulfrequency.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shanna-lee-77691211b/Join the Inspired Evolution Community:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvolution/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/InspiredEvolution/Website: https://inspiredevolution.com/Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/inspiredevolution.

Ep 136IE136 Nathalie Heynderickx: Zen High Achiever: The Power of Mindfulness for CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, and Beyond...
Our guest for this week is Nathalie Heynderickx; the bridge between consciousness and management, a specialist of everything in between, and the founder of Zen High Achiever foundation. About Nathalie Heynderickx Nathalie has spent her life honing and developing a commonly overlooked skillset in the corporate world, and as such has become a principal resource in corporate mindful leadership. She shares her experience and deep knowledge of the IT industry to bring balance and calm to high pressure workplaces, whilst maintaining or often increasing productivity. Nathalie is best recognised as the founder of Zen High Achiever foundation with an impressive client portfolio including Peugeot, BP, HP, Mars, ASIC, AGL Energy, Air Services and Bendigo Bank.This is Nathalie’s second time joining us and was in fact our first guest ever. Today she joins us on our third anniversary to talk about the key to living a mindful life.Connect with Nathalie LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nathalieheynderickx/Website: http://www.zenhighachiever.com/05:10 A Journey into Health & PeaceNathalie dives into the importance of routine, self-practice and her formula for ensuring she sets up each day for continued and sustained achievement. Taking great influence from Indian traditions and the doshas movements through the day, Nathalie defines how she utilises ancient wisdom in establishing how she traverses each day to maintain balance throughout her life.“Catch the wave as soon as it comes… be more aligned with the cycles of nature”20:40 Brazilian Spirituality or World Spirituality?Discussing the notion of separations of spirituality by location, Nathalie explains her view that now, in the world we live in today, spirituality and their associated practices are no longer locked to any specific place but are available to all.22:02“Modern yoga belongs to humanity”25:30 Defining MindfulnessThe two crucial elements around mindfulness can be broken down to focus and awareness. Nathalie shares how she incorporates all the facets of what she does under the umbrella of ‘mindfulness’. She tells us of a dear friend and teacher who is a monk in a monastery in Sydney, he explained to her that “mindfulness is like the footprint of the elephant” as within the footprint of the elephant we can fit the footprint of all the other animals.27:07“Nature increases our awareness to what is happening in our environment”30:47 Implementing ForgivenessWe head down the rabbit hole of forgiveness and how to do it with greater ease and how it ultimately benefits all, and how the ability to forgive yourself is crucial. Nathalie talks on how you are in control of your own world and being actively forgiving only improves your reality. People routinely require our forgiveness but potentially without even knowing, and therefore too we are consistently being forgiven by others without even knowing about it.42:31“Radical acceptance is the cornerstone of self-compassion”43:40 Boundaries and Accepting Being UncomfortableHere Nathalie explains how we can look beyond the ego mask that we all wear and how to see beyond negative pain or emotions through courage and acceptance. Drawing on the actions of living and past saints it becomes clear that creating boundaries does not serve us. We discuss how we are triggered by our imperfections and that is why we set up boundaries, we are all continuous works in progress.46:02Tara Brach – Radical Acceptancehttps://www.tarabrach.com/store/https://www.audible.com/pd/Radical-Acceptance-Audiobook/B006WP75QE?ref_=sr_1_2&qid=1355596133&sr=1-252:15“I’m pretty sure Christ had no boundaries”Bonus Quotes:1:06:50“Consistency and commitment equate to the result you get; it doesn’t come for free”At the end of the podcast, Nathalie recommends Sean Corn's book "Author of Revolution of the Soul", available here: https://inspiredevolution.com/recommends/revolution-of-the-soul/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvolution/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/YouTube: https://bit.ly/inspiredevoWebsite: https://inspiredevolution.com/Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/inspiredevolution.

Marianne Williamson is a spiritual thought leader, political activist and New York Times bestselling author who until recently was a US Presidential Candidate.About Marianne WilliamsonFor over three decades Marianne has been a leader in spiritual and religiously progressive circles. She is the author of 14 books, four of which have been #1 New York Times best sellers. Browse her author page here: https://inspiredevolution.com/recommends/marianne-williamson/A quote from the mega best seller A Return to Love, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

This will determine the sustainability of life on earth in the next 50 years. It’s the transition from individualism to collectivism. An integration of our interconnectedness to the rest of the world. We can no longer remain disconnected from our politics. If we don’t do politics - politics will do us. This is no longer a matter of choice. It’s a matter of evolution. If we don’t evolve our spirituality and our politics, Marianne shared her conviction, the human species will die.“At a certain point, you will not be on the path alone, for you will be joined by mighty companions.” Conscious CapitalismWe are here to heal and repair the world. Averting yourself away from compassion to avoid politics is what you call the new “capitalist spirituality”. Enlightened societies have both capitalism and socialism elements. Education, healthcare and economic opportunity allow hard working citizens to achieve their dreams. “There’s no serious spiritual tradition that gives us a pass on the suffering of other sentient beings.”Activate Your Spirit & Serve LifeJesus didn’t say “love yourself”. He said to “Love Each Other”. The best version of ourselves is actually the worst version of ourselves... If it doesn't include the version of our self extended into the public domain. We’re here to serve. We’re not indispensable. It’s vitally important to have an internal guidance system. Remember that you take care of the future by fully living in the present.“Spiritual conviction is understanding that you only get to keep what you give to others.”Power & LoveThere is flow and synergy between love and power. Between divine masculinity and the divine feminine. Both elements are equally important. There is a dynamic power to the masculine and magnetic power to the feminine. As Martin Luther King put it:“Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.”Wage PeaceWage peace. Wow. Marianne goes deep. Tune in and learn about the four statistical indicators that will show a higher incident of peace within a community. She believes that addressing the suffering of others should be our core political and spiritual mission. That’s just the beginning of how we wage peace. “War is the absence of peace, peace is not the absence of war.” Join the Inspired Evolution Community:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvolution/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/YouTube: https://bit.ly/inspiredevoWebsite: https://inspiredevolution.com/Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/inspiredevolution.

Peer into a day-in-the-life of Mason. From starting early and drinking warm water first thing in the morning, to going over his herbal supplement ceremony, he shares some COVID relevant insights on how various practices can greatly affect your wellbeing. Ít shouldn't have to be hard - it should flow. Intention is a critical element. And from there is all about consistency. Setting principles in place based on key basic elements and find a consistent flow.“Drop into the heart and feel the stillness and infinity within”Flow & MoveMason invites us to be even more in tune with our bodies and shares how to develop a practice. Shattering labels such as dietary and exercise - “just move” . I can begin by simply looking at and allowing your body to be present with what’s occurring - you’re already initiating the flow with movement - be perceptive.“Connect with your body and start doing what’s useful for your body”SleepMason finally wraps up his perspective on sleep and why it’s the ultimate yin practice. He reminds us agin to remove the labels from sleep and what we “think” it’s about. It's so much deeper than what we can “know” and “understand”.

Ep 133IE133 Benny Fergusson: Embodying Flexibility: Beyond Physical Limits to Personal Transformation (Movement Monk)
Our guest for this week is Benny Fergusson, founder and program director of Movement Monk.About Benny FergussonBenny was quite active until his unfortunate spinal injury which led to chronic scoliosis. After living with pain for years without getting any lasting relief from therapy, he went on a mind and body healing which profoundly changed his life. With years of research, practice and meditation art, Benny has successfully restored his physical freedom. This has paved the way in establishing a method of functional movement, developed with the intention to restore the body to its natural powerful state called “The Movement Monk Project”. He has been working as a physical therapist and movement teacher for over 16 years and is also a master practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Patterning (NLP).Connect with BennyYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5XraoZXft3K6EqXy9A0nDAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/movementmonkInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/movement_monk/Website: http://movementmonk.xyzTune In:Manifestation of Consciousness in the bodyBenny shares to us his knowledge of how our mind and body can have two different conversations in terms of affecting our nervous system. The whole somatic reality of mind and body reflects each other. Listening to the body could help us connect to who we really are, for us to have a harmonious moment within ourselves. He further elaborates the unfolding process of consciousness. By expanding perception, allowing flowing energy, freedom of breath, movement quality, and movement capacity, we are able to fully reconnect with our body and gain freedom. “The body is a wonderful reflection of what’s going on with the mind…”The Building Blocks At some point in our life, we’ll have at least one song that would touch our heart; a song perfectly needed at the moment. Benny metaphorically used music to expand on the modular processes of the five building blocks in discerning our highest need. “If there’s anything within us that’s like a handbrake on… When we get into that space where we’re using our bodies, moving our bodies or working with our bodies with that internal hand break off, then it just makes the process a lot more graceful.”Symptom versus essence of an intentionEveryone has their own share of uniqueness and Benny further delves into how we are all subjected to a certain level of conditioning in our society. Know how this cultural set up has brought about emerging patterns of safety and belongingness issues.. When we’re not feeling safe, our body is unfocused and unable to feel what’s going on. This will consequently manifest as symptoms. Benny goes on by describing how to respond rather than react to these body sensations through his process called “Break Through Your Pain”.“If you can listen to the whispers then the body doesn't need to scream”Wisdom of the body and burning outAll living things go through the cycle of activity, rest and charged momentum. Benny also went through a lethargic phase from his aggravated spinal injury. This rest cycle has fuelled his desire to search for his midpoint between bringing restfulness into the acts he was doing. Get to discover how situations can often come as opportunities for you to connect towards greater levels of alignment. Consciousness is not bound by time and sometimes rest is needed to have the energy to take on what’s coming. “Find the balancing counterpart to support them on their own journey”Join the Inspired Evolution Community:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvolution/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/YouTube: https://bit.ly/inspiredevoWebsite: https://inspiredevolution.com/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/inspiredevolution.

Ep 132IE132 Oscar Trimboli: Deep Listening: Transform Your Communication, Leadership, and Influence
Oscar Trimboli is the Deep Listening author, mentor, coach & speaker.About Oscar TrimboliHe is the author and the host of an Apple-award winning podcast called, Deep Listening. He is passionate about using the gift of listening to provide positive changes in the workplaces, homes and cultures around the world. Oscar works with executives in a range of industries like Microsoft, PeopleSoft, Polycom, Professional Advantage and Vodafone. He first-hand transforms the impact leaders and organizations can have with the power of listening beyond words. Connect with OscarWebsite: https://www.oscartrimboli.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/oscartrimboli/?originalSubdomain=auFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/oscardtrimboliTune in:125/400 RuleThe reason why it's critical to pay attention and listen completely - including during the pauses, the silences and thoughtful moments in a discussion - is because of the simple maths between speaking and hearing. Although we can think at 400 words per minute, you can only speak at between 125-175 words per minute. So there’s a gap of 225-275 words per minute of what's not being communicated by words specifically.“We think at 400 words per minute, we speak at 125-175 words per minute.”The 4 Villians Sabotaging Your Listening 8:48There are 4 villains that can show up depending on the situation we’re listening in. And situation to situation - we listen differently in different contexts and scenarios. The Dramatic Listener loves listening to the emotions of your story but their orientation is themselves. The Interrupting Listener comes with good intention but is relatively impatient in finding a solution. To be so self absorbed by your thoughts or devices describes a Lost Listener. Lastly, the one who excitedly anticipates the future, trying to solve the problem before completely hearing it all is the Shrewd listener. You can take a 7 minute quiz to identify your listening villains at listeningquiz.com.“Listening is situational, relational, and contextual.”Listening in Full-HD-Colour 24:26Although only a small percentage of us don't see in color, Oscar says we all effectively listen in black and white. To unlock your ability to listen in color - discover your biggest barrier to listening. Oscar reminds us that blind people develop what almost seems to be extra-sensory listening abilities - these abilities are available to all human, but are we enganging our deep listening or are we simply distracted? Not until we listen to ourselves and empty ourselves from our distractions can we receive whatever anybody else is trying to say.“The difference between a distracted listener and a deep listener is not the fact that they listen better, it's the fact that one noticed they’re distracted quicker.” Oscar’s Personal Listening Ritual 27:06Oscar makes it to the point to switch off his phone, take three deep breaths and be hydrated before meeting someone. We gain a tremendous amount of benefits just by increasing water intake and connecting with our breath. These are very basic tips that can actually bring us to a stage where it's possible to be ready to listen.“A hydrated brain and oxygenated brain is a listening brain.”5 Levels of Listening 36:45Most often we are stuck in our own heads - listening to ourselves in our own echo chamber at level 1. When we’re in dialogue we engage in the second level of listening - listening to what’s being said, seen or the state of the person talking (You can see that level two depends on our efficacy at level one). Level three is taking it further than most ever do - which is to listen to the context or noticing the observable patterns in the conversation. In this episode Oscar shares key tips to increasing your level 3 perception. Level 4 is the gold of understanding others at a deeper level, closing the gap in knowledge and listening to the unsaid (non-verbal) by knowing the 125-400 rule. In this episode Oscar shares 3 key phrases to help discover what’s unsaid to dive deeper into level 4 listening in any situation. The deepest 5th layer of listening is to listen to and derive meaning - which moves the conversation forward.“The role of the listener is to help the speaker edit their thoughts, to refine them and get them to a place that’s beyond their current level of awareness.”“The role of the listener is to help the speaker get to a place that’s beyond their current level of thinking - by listening deeply.”Join the Inspired Evolution Community:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvolution/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/YouTube: https://bit.ly/inspiredevoWebsite: https://inspiredevolution.com/Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/inspiredevolution.

Ep 131IE131 Charles Eisenstein: Debunking Conspiracies: Navigating Myths & Truths in an Era of Unprecedented Conspiracy
Our guest for this week is Charles Eisenstein, American public speaker and author. Charles' book "Sacred Economics: Money, Gift and Society in the Age of Transition Paperback" can be found HERE.About Charles EisensteinCharles Eisenstein is an amazing public speaker and author of an essay called “The Conspiracy Myth”. His works cover a wide range of topics from human history and spirituality, to anti-consumerism and interdependence. He is also known for the books, The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible, Sacred Economics, and The Ascent of Humanity. Connect with Charles EisensteinWebsite: https://charleseisenstein.org/Tune In: What is a conspiracy myth? 26:02The attention received by “The Conspiracy Myth” essay became the beacon towards the realization of being a right-wing conspiracy theorist. But beyond that, conspiracy myth is actually a part of the phenomenon of downgrading and dehumanizing other people. A lot of the data points that the conspiracy theorists draw from are totally valid. Conspiracy myth is a perception of a vast conspiracy that pulls all of the strings and controls all of the puppets on the theory of how the world works. There’s a larger reality that we're not fully aware of and that is hidden from us. “Myths whether or not they are literally true, they carry truth. They’re different from a fantasy or delusion. But a myth is a vehicle for truth.”Science, Religion and Biases 33:41Rituals are the foundational myths of our civilization. There is something outside ourselves that we can prove and gain certainty and control. Religion is a vehicle of a sacred principle embodied by science. The fundamental core of Science is “I do not know so I shall ask”. That’s the sacred essence of science’s humility enacted by scientists at their best and at their worst. When science and religion is institutionalized, they lose touch with their sacred essence and serve the opposite. A lot of the abuses and dysfunction of science today is an expression of arrogance. “Science is “I do not know so I shall ask.”Leading into the conspiracy and pulling these strings 37:43Order can emerge spontaneously out of chaos. Beauty and intelligence could be a property of the universe because the world itself is alive and conscious. We’re programmed that we have all the answers to know what’s real and what isn’t. When that is violated, we go to a phase of bewilderment. This is to open up and appreciate multiple paradoxical viewpoints. The willingness to entertain paradox is a profound path of self development. “The ability to hold paradoxes is necessary to uncover the deeper reality that resolves the paradox.”Conspiratorial Rabbit-Holes 44:55, 56:05, 01:05:50Diving down to those conspiratorial rabbit holes is very much like an addiction and there’s some kind of elitism that is leading into events. Our society is built on the manipulation of symbols. The more you investigate any conspiracy theory, the more truer it becomes. That’s the danger when you philosophize everything. However, it’s also not an excuse to not do anything and be an aloof to everything. There’s always something to do that makes sense regardless of the actual accuracy of the theory. Conspiracy theories invite us to look beyond the spectacle.“All of these beliefs correspond to a state of being.”Making stories, intuition and conscious decisions 01:12:56Our next stage as a species is not to be finally free of stories and belief systems. What is mostly uniquely human about human beings, is that we create stories. These stories create roles for us to occupy. In the near time, stories order things and our creativity. If you haven’t experienced a miracle in your life, that doesn’t mean you are less evolved. We need people to develop the inner strength and the muscle of faith that doesn’t receive much nourishment. “It’s not about total liberation. For me, it’s about what’s next.”Perspective on Inspired Evolution 01:34:53Inspired Evolution is about witnessing people who are more evolved than you are. It stirs inspiration and awakens a part of the self that is ready for that evolution. It shows the possibilities of what you are about to become. Everybody you meet can offer that to you because everybody in the world has a fully realized Buddha except yourself. “The whole world is set up for your enlightenment. “Join the Inspired Evolution Community:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvolution/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/YouTube: https://bit.ly/inspiredevoWebsite: https://inspiredevolution.com/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/inspiredevolution.

Life is about the constant pursuit of change and finding difference. Whilst the ability to create difference is a great gift that we as beings have.“It’s about opening to different possibilities…” The Clearing StatementYou’re the energy moving through your body. Using the clearing statement will unlock anything that you’ve locked into places. It takes away the only-choice system and puts in place total possibility. This gives you a place where you actually know. Total knowing is a whole different universe. When you answer from a question’s point of view, you’d always have more choices. If you spent your life experiencing everything instead of trying to understand it, how much more of a life would you have? “Right and Wrong, Good and Bad, POD and POC, All 9, Shorts, Boys and Beyonds” The essence of knowing You as a being sense thing, while the body feels things. When you function from questions instead of answers, you start looking at different possibilities. When you go against what you know, everything shows up with more resistance and difficulty. You have to overcome obstacles rather than having obstacles melt in front of you and get to the point of trusting yourself more.“Whatever you choose, it creates your world.” What is this? What do I do with it? Can I change it? And if so how do I change it? If logic would work, then we wouldn’t have any problem. But when logic isn’t making it work, then what will? Finally understanding something means that you’re probably standing under somebody else’s idea. Understanding is equal to standing under. By taking that point of view with everything, you will begin to see how people come to conclusions that are not based on facts all the time. If you work from conclusions, you’d always end up missing something.“Your experience determines how you see the world.”Conscious choices and limiting beliefs Choice is what creates. Everytime you’ve chosen something, you’ve opened the door to different possibilities. These possibilities give you inspiration for your contribution to the universe. The universe will do everything it can to take care of you. What you were today is not gonna make a difference 500 years from now, but the choice you made might. You should also be willing to create the future. That’s the path your choice creates and the way for you to get to the world you’d like to have. “Connect to a deeper sense of choice and what your choice creates.”Join the Inspired Evolution Community:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvol...Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/InspiredEvolu...Website: https://inspiredevolution.com/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/inspiredevolution.

We would need to heal ourselves constantly with children teaching and showing us more stuff about ourselves that we aren’t even aware of. It’s always helpful to invest in unearthing childhood to be able to understand the personal triggers in parenting.“... [awareness] is key in every part of our lives… and the most in parenting because children trigger you in your inner child, and your inner child is stuff left over from your childhood which was very primitive and unsophisticated …” Level of conditioning and clinical psychologyChildren are like sponges and there’s such beauty and innocence to childhood. However, because a child can be so infiltrated to take in whatever unconscious culture their direct environment puts them in, these unconscious institutional attachments are often worn as masks in order to survive. These same prescription checklists can obscure who the child might have been without them. “... And that’s why many of us fall apart in our 40’s, when our children then grow up ... and we go “who am I?”. That's a hitting block, because there is a pause where it's then called the middle life crisis for good reason, because it’s a crisis of identity.” Holding space for a child from parental projectionsProjections are always going to happen at some point, but doing internal work will help parents catch themselves more. One would begin to question themselves with all the doctrines and mandates that a person is unconsciously subscribed to. The more work you do the more you unlayer yourself. To awaken is to understand that we’ve been putting pressures to ourselves to live this false self that doesn’t work for us anymore. You should let go all the false self. So you are awakened to a greater degree. “When you begin to awaken and begin to emancipate yourself, you very much don’t want to enslave anyone else…”Conversations on fear and loving unconditionallyWe come closest to loving unconditionally with our children. Loving unconditionally is very difficult. To love unconditionally is to love without owning. Unconditional love is freedom. However, nowadays experimentations at home have been opening up. With partners mirroring is just one level, but it is something totally unprecedented with children. Children live in a different time zone. They live in the present moments, while adults live in the past and future. Children don’t know that and that’s why adults get upset with them. “...The real love of a child or another human being is to love the essence which is to really love them with no real agenda of your own…” Pursuit to happiness and the hustleThe pursuit to happiness is an illusion because to pursue it as an energy is running after that desire. Which means you are feeling the lack. If you feel in lack and do something out of lack, we realise we have this restless hustling energy. But at some point it’s important to be more of an attractor and do work and shine with it. This is something you have to evolve to, and people need to go through the whole hustling process to be able to achieve such grounding.“... there’s no need for conflict if you accept that it’s bound to be different, when you expect it to be different you’re not disappointed.” Perception on Inspire EvolutionInspired evolution is not robotic evolution that happens on its own. It is taking evolution consciously and really taking it into your own hands. To carve your own destiny as much as you can and put your intention behind is the real essence of being inspired in evolution.“Keep it simple, you’d always be pleased…”Join the Inspired Evolution Community:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvol...Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/InspiredEvolu...Website: https://inspir

Our guests for this week are Regan Hillyer & JuanPa BarahonaRegan Hillyer created a powerful Manifestation Training to help you call the life you crave to become your new reality. About Regan Hillyer & JuanPa BarahonaRegan Hillyer and Juan Pablo Barahona (JuanPa) multi-millionaire power-couple who are embodiments of divine union and soulful relationships. As international speakers, transformational leaders, mindset coaches and philanthropists, this blissful union has created several business ventures and charitable causes. They travel the world to speak and provide healing and personal development and relationships. They have also launched the dynamic book The Abundance Codes. First meeting and attracting what you’re meant for From finding that center of being and going through a self-healing journey, to finding that once in a lifetime soul connection. The universe in itself can reveal so many things that are within and beyond our control all at the same time. And it’s up to us to jump in the trance and commit to ourselves as we attract the things that we deserve. Tap into that frequency and be clear on what you desire. “We gotta let go and surrender and everything we think we know.” Trust what you’re manifestingGo beyond the vibration of trust and open yourself on what your mind is set to. Tap into the divine truth and start that inner work. Relationships can be the biggest reflection of all your beliefs and concepts of everything. Find that soul vibration in a wisdom level and remember to commit to who you are and what you deserve. “It’s not about the outside, it’s really all about that inner work. Commit into that inner work, go and dig and release those doubts. Whatever comes in the way, release that and transform it into these vibrations of knowing which comes from the soul.” Love and ForgivenessDig deep into that mirror dance reflection of love and relationship. Open yourself to that person who can enhance your flight and help you feel safe from your vulnerability. Look at your fears, doubt and self love. The mirror in divine union is one of the greatest gifts you will ever receive. And if you are someone who's committed to your own journey and your own evolution and ascension and self mastery, it’s one of the important tools we’ve found to actually see yourself and evolve. But the mirror comes with great responsibility as well.“if you are someone who's committed to your own journey and your own evolution and ascension and self mastery, it’s one of the important tools we’ve found to actually see yourself and evolve.”How do my partner navigate with projected limitations of myself?Respond, react and open your heart as you share from a humble space. Don’t speak from anger and be very conscious not to burn everything around you. When you come from a humble space, you recognize your vulnerability. Allow the other person to question themselves naturally and let them share from the heart. “...it’s very beautiful how indirectly we are helping each other without touching ego. We’re not going through ego, we’re going directly from heart to heart. Ego is almost bypassed and almost burned because we’re not acknowledging ego or responding from ego.”The power of manifestation and one’s sexual energyLearn what true manifestation really is and look into that energy with yourself. We all have sexual energy, it’s a life energy. Tap into that vibration and start using it with visualization, emotion, intention and inner mastery. “When we tap into this sexual energy and we expand our capacity to manifest our magnetism coming from within, that’s when manifestation happens.” Their take on Inspire EvolutionInspired evolution is the natural state of every human being. Find that thing that you need to tap on to release in order to live in inspired evolution. The surrender and allowing of the spirit to come through you in order to inspire and evolve. “Cos lIfe itself is always an evolution, it’s an inspiration.” Join the Inspired Evolution Community:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InspiredEvol...Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/InspiredEvo/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/InspiredEvolu...Website: https://inspiredevolution.com/Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/inspiredevolution.

It’s the best time realign our goals and identify processes on how to best support each other’s well-being. It is important to practice gratitude and can-do attitude to be able to successfully cope through these trying times.“ We are all capable of all things given the right circumstance”Servant Leadership and How to Lead in ServiceLeadership in service so others can be in their best, is the ultimate goal of a servant leader. Listen to people and make them feel that they are working in a psychologically safe environment. Being dedicated to the success of the employees’ will resonate positive productivity and amazing customer experience. Thus, a successful organization or business is always driven by happy, secure and fearless employees. “Get your people feeling amazing and they would do amazing things.”The Connection Between Leadership and Well-BeingHave a growth mindset and always strive for learning. Create a circle of safety to encourage learning. It’s also equally important to have fun to drive energy and passion within. Establish trust, customer success, innovation, and equality. In organizations, it’s important for leaders to value people more than crunching numbers and charts on the board. “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever- Mahatma Gandhi”Importance of Compassion and Empathy in LeadershipCompassion, empathy and presence are important leadership characters. Make sure that everyone has an opportunity and a voice by providing them the right environment to feel and express their thoughts. Everybody can be a leader, but leadership and management are two different things. Management is often efficiency driven, while leadership is an optimization driver. Optimize the environment and systems so you could be the hero of your story. “Begin with yourself because I promise you one thing, there’s a person who would thank you for that. You know who that is, your future self.”Disruption Towards Emerging Female Leadership and Gender BalanceThe emergence of female leaders has become a necessary shift nowadays. The difference between men and women is tendencies in mentality. Men have a scarcity mentality built into their DNA, while women are collaborative and ask questions. By tradition women are community builders. They could make the pipe bigger instead of fighting over.“What we need in this world are amazing, creative thinkers. One of the best ways to drive creativity is diversity thought. One of the best ways to drive diversity of thought is set balance… get that gender balance.” Leadership Advice to the Younger GenerationThe measure of success is in the results. Live in harmony by recognizing that amazing person in your life who gives more without asking anything in return. Then give back by giving without question. Recognize the most productive stage of your life and seize your own power. Make decisions with your heart and execute with your head. Be passionate about what you do and look for the right timing. Timing is everything.“Have every single one of the little goals amount to something great. Start small but do it everyday.”Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/inspiredevolution.

Ep 126IE126 Kamal Ravikant: How to Love Yourself: Self-Love Powered Transformation
Kamal Ravikant on Self Love - How to Love Yourself like your Life Depends on ItKamal Ravikant is the best-selling author of the profound phenomenon called “Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It”. Book available here.Kamal is a successful Silicon Valley entrepreneur and co-founder of several companies and once served as an infantry soldier in the US Army. After a decade of growing his company he came to a sudden challenging downfall, which led to a depression. “If I was depressed, that was a good day” Kamal reflects. As he became physically ill and bed-ridden he touched a turning point that would change his life forever. His transformational journey began with a vow he made to himself to “Love his self”. This grew into a meditation practice and a system of tools towards spiritual healing. This practice paved the way into a self-published book that has continued to have a profound impact on millions of readers. “Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It” is a powerful story that is at the heart of self-development and spiritual growth that shares simple practical life-changing practices and habits.Connect the Inspired Evolution Community: Facebook: www.facebook.com/inspiredevolutionInstagram: www.instagram.com/inspiredevoWebsite: www.inspiredevolution.comA society where we can’t love ourselvesPeople confuse loving ourselves as narcissism, where it’s actually the opposite. Narcissists are in fact very insecure and damaged people who are focused on a certain perspective. While loving yourself is acknowledging and focusing on your strengths when life hits you hard.“What is depression? What is hating ourselves? That’s just the sword pointing inward, versus taking the same sword pointing in a different direction.”Rock-bottom moment that took the turnWhen everything that matters to a person’s ego falls apart, it is a very vulnerable moment. One can easily lose sight of the bigger picture and one’s self. The biggest turn comes when we reach our breaking point and all that’s left is for us to decide whether we’ll carry on or let go. The problems start from the mind, and the solution is also from the mind - within.“Where it came from was a moment where you reach that breaking point, it was like either you break or you decide no more.”Intense relationship with commitmentWhen you make a commitment, you have to do it. Give it your best shot. Especially when your back is against the wall. In this moment you truly have nothing to lose. Life aligns us in the most surprising ways, failure can sometimes be the only way for us to discover how to succeed.“I was working on the craft, but I didn’t have the heart.”Identifying the choices and working on the solutionEmbracing failure and making that commitment is not just about surrender and awareness, but more of a resolution towards “I’m doing this to get better”. You only surrender because you don’t have a choice. But outside of that line is the perspective that we always have a choice, no matter how worse the situation is.“That one thing that we always have a choice on is to work on our inside world… As long as we’re breathing, that choice is ours… That is the one choice that can literally change everything...”Recovery and how contributing to something than you is both inspiring and healing.Kamal’s deeply personal journey of recovery and how this book he created helped him not just in the practices from within the book, but also holding space for him as he created the book - to have a reason to pull through - to share this with the world.. His gift to the world is his story of how one’s strength can conquer the pain and how the mind can become our biggest weapon.“I had something to put out to the world that I’m still here and I have to give it my all.”How to make a commitment to self. And building a practiceComfort and laziness are common human nature. It usually takes a big leap before we can truly awaken from all the worldly distractions. Challenging life moments often create breakthroughs. Tune in to learn how Kamal recommends to look inwards with introspection and how to then make a commitment. We discuss the mindset of building a nourishing practice.“Real growth comes from introspection. Have the courage to walk that path.” Staying committed.Commitment doesn’t have to be perfect, it means you decide what you want and do it again and again. Sometimes you’re great at it, sometimes less so. Stay with it. Commitments develop habits. Your commitment to yourself is a pure sacred act. Commitment to self and executing on that commitment consistently is the most profound and legitimate way to build self worth and thus self-confidence. It’s the easiest hack to self-confidence.“Commitment doesn’t require you to be perfect. This just requires you to get back and do it after you fail - your human.” Self Worth.Learn to see failure in a different light. Identify the difference between being reactive and proactive.

Growing up engaged in the theater world got her really interested in the nutrition space to stay healthy and fit for her dancing career. She shifted from teaching dance and calisthenics to settle on aerobics, and that’s how she ended up becoming a personal trainer when there wasn’t even a name for it. It’s in that space that she really quickly realized that someone cannot out-exercise a bad diet and so she had to dive deeper into studying nutrition. Find out more at 02:40You know how we all think that if someone wants to lose weight they need to eat less, exercise more, and create a 500 calorie deficit, and all that? Well, that’s all wrong and JJ will bust that untruth big time. How to successfully lose weight boils down to weight training to build more muscle which requires more energy to be on the body and improves insulin sensitivity, and also enables the body to burn fat much more easily. Go to 06:05 to learn more about that.Why grazing is super rotten for you. If you want to be younger and live longer, you have to have good insulin sensitivity, and JJ couldn’t stress this enough. When you eat, your body’s blood sugar goes up and your pancreas secretes insulin to bring blood sugar back down because when it’s up it’s toxic to your body. If not properly balanced, it all leads to diabetes, weight gain, and all around unhealthiness. Here’s a tip JJ shares, “Try getting a little hungry and if you feel hungry, take some water, and wait. Then when you get really hungry, eat something” Listen in at 09:53 for some more enlightenment on that.The Virgin Diet and how it helps in losing weight. There are a lot of things that cause weight loss resistance (the inability to lose weight) including genetics, menopause, thyroid problems, stress, lack of sleep, and gut issues. One of the ways to lose weight is by figuring out your hidden food intolerances from leaky gut. You can also try intermittent fasting or a ketogenic diet, but you have to get ready for it gradually instead of starting immediately. Go to 18:32 to get all the actionable advice from JJ on how to lose weight by figuring out your food intolerances.The 7 foods that you should avoid if you wanna lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Gluten is the worst culprit of them all. It makes you more insulin resistant, makes your gut more leaky, and is just horrendously bad for your blood sugar, your gut, and of course, keeps you from losing any weight . Another culprit at the top of the list is dairy and eggs especially because we get factory processed dairy products and eggs. The best way to go when it comes to those two foods is to get them from grass fed or pastured animals. Goat or sheep’s milk is also much better than cow’s milk. Learn more about the rest of the foods you should avoid at 30:55.Working on your longest term relationship; your relationship with food. One of the most
