Should You Trust Your Brain?
Alive and Free
The brain is a very useful tool when we’re dealing with what’s around us. But when it comes down to real life, it’s our bodies that are experiencing it. Today we’ll talk about relying on the brain’s understanding. Have a listen. Highlights: I would punch them and they would feel so good and energized because they realized it feels good to be in their body. (10:20) I didn’t know that I could question these things that were all in my head. (17:00) The phrase “my truth” is a decision to not let anybody question you when you should be questioning yourself.

It's Not What You Do, But How You Do It
Alive and Free
We’ve had our fair share of questions and comments from people who have “already done all these things”. Today we’ll explain more what we’re really doing and why it just might not be the same as what you think. Have a listen. Highlights: Somebody might have trained with people that I did but that doesn’t mean they know what I do and what I am trying to do with these techniques. (5:20) I’m not saying, “this is the only way,” this is just the best way that I’ve seen. (13:30) In order to see the change you have to feel it. Your body has to learn it. (26:40) Need help...

The Image of God
Alive and Free
A lot has happened in these last 3 months and with one of our first episodes back, we’re going to talk about God. Where he fits in everything we’re doing and in life itself. Have a listen.

You Don't Have to Have Issues
Alive and Free
When something happens, there doesn’t always have to be an issue with it. You can let go of the response and control it. We’ll talk about it more today. Have a listen. Highlights: I was leading myself to my own grave because of some teachings that I had likely misinterpreted. (12:15) A lot of people would rather be right and miserable and perpetuate the misery, than dissipate the reactions. (19:35) I want to teach people the skills of having a choice in how they feel. (20:00) I thought I was going to break everything in what I knew, or sensed, was the right way forward. (31:00) Need help...

I Am... Except When I'm Not
Alive and Free
We have often had people who have a single belief of who and what they are. It’s not that they’re wrong for that, it that they had never tried to challenge it before. People who were “superior” to them had given diagnosis and those were taken to heart. Today we’ll talk about it more. Have a listen. Highlights: A lot of people we encounter had their mom, their teacher, their mentor tell them something and that’s never been challenged. (13:10) Internally, I don’t want to put the keys in the lock that are almost a fit, but to a perfect fit. I’d rather make them on the inside....

Divine in the Details
Alive and Free
Today, we’re going to take a pretty deep dive into some religious things. Growing up in the mormon church, I had some things indoctrinated in me that were causing me disease. We’ll talk about it more in todays episode. Have a listen. Highlights: Your body is what qualifies you to be alive and when you understand what a magnificent gift it is, t can lead you out of all the things that you’re struggling with.

Win the War Within
Alive and Free
The main goal is to win the war within you. Not just to beat the symptoms, but the full battle that is causing tensions and stresses in your body. Today, we’re going to talk about it more. Have a listen. Highlights: The body has some way of remembering how it’s reacted in a situation before. (10:10) You are the hardest person you will ever coach. Because you have the same blind spots as the person that you’re coaching. (17:00) We are striving for permanence in an impermanent universe. (20:30) It’s not psychology, but physiology with a psychological impact. (32:45) Need help unlocking...

Description vs Prescription
Alive and Free
Description; “I feel happy”. Prescription; “I’m doing all of these things so I should be feeling happiness”. Don’t let the prescriptions and “shoulds” in life, run over the descriptions, and the present moment. Today, we’ll talk about this more. Have a listen. Highlights: In a list, you’ll be given prescriptions, not what will become good, natural byproducts of your living experience. (14:30) “Where am I at, where am I headed, and what do I need to shift in order to move in that direction?” (17:00) Take a step back and think, what if everything will just naturally...

F1 Love
Alive and Free
After the 2024 Miami GP, Lando Norris gains his first win and declares his love to everybody. Now, after a grueling two hour race, he probably felt relieved and wasn’t actually feeling “love”. Today, we’re going to talk about this more. Have a listen. Highlights: In that moment, was he really feeling love? (10:15) Feelings of love and kindness are a direct result of the state that the body is in, in any given moment. (14:20) Like I’ve been saying for a long time, your thoughts and emotions are a byproduct of the body. (20:00) There is a big difference between your senses, and what...

To the Wives... "It's not you, it's me."
Alive and Free
This one’s for the women. A man’s “addiction” to pornography doesn’t mean that there is something wrong with you or that you need to change. It is just the way that his body has found to cope with his discomfort. We’re going to talk about this more today. Have a listen. Highlights: Because the “addiction” is no longer sexual, we look at; what are they coping with? (15:50) Depression, shame, and guilt are all mechanisms that are engaged in order to solve an ongoing problem. (17:25) It’s a chasing of a sensation all because, the person is unconscious of the way that they have...
info_outlineProprioception can be often thought of how you perceive your physical situation, but it goes a lot deeper than that. It is how you perceive yourself in any situation. Proprioception is how you catch yourself in the act of living. We’re going to talk about this in depth today. Have a listen.
Highlights:
- The prediction is made first, and only if the prediction is wrong, is more energy spent trying to figure out what’s going on. (6:00)
- We end up limiting our future by never challenging the predictions of the past. (11:20)
- The physicality of it is an attempt to sideline all of the thinking and doomsday-ing that’s happening inside. (21:45)
- If a reaction to something was less than it was before, and if it stays that way over the course of a day or two, the brain is now making different guesses about the idea that has been adopted. (:)
