There are people that have been in a certain state for so long that they don't know what feeling right is like; they don't know what it feels like to be centered. They're so far out of it and it's been maybe since they were a baby that they actually were centered. Paul Chek gives his students Feel Free to help them understand that this feeling of freedom and being centered is what they can feel like all the time. Now that they know what the goal is and they've got a taste of it, they can go put the work in to get that 24/7 or as much as they can. - Jerry Ross

Power Quotes From The Show

Not All Thoughts Are True

 

"Just because you think something, it doesn't mean it's true. In fact, a lot of what you think is not true; it's just noise. It's just your brain exercising something and the moment I realized that, it was a real lightbulb moment because what I had been trying to do before was to control it. I was trying to get that voice in my brain to go away but it is never going away. It will be there but it doesn't mean that I have to engage with it. Not just with that voice in my head but with many things in my life." - Jerry Ross

 

How 'Feel Free' Came To Be

 

"Alcohol was out of my life but I still didn't feel completely comfortable in my skin and I was looking for something to help me with that but not have the negative effects that alcohol had the more and more I consumed of it. I was looking for something that wasn't inebriating or limiting. I wanted something that made me feel comfortable socially but would also enhance my ability to focus. When I lived in Southeast Asia for a period of time I was introduced to kratom and then I remembered my experience trying kava in Vanuatu. That led to the idea of mixing the plants in their native form, not processed." - Jerry Ross

 

Creating Value For Others

 
 
"I knew how to make money but that wasn't bringing me happiness so I had to dig deep and find out what I was meant to do with my life. I realized during that period of deep reflection and inner work that my purpose wasn't just about me, it was about doing something of value to society. It's about building value but not just value for me and that is what really propelled me forward in life and later down the road Botanic Tonics and Feel Free." - Jerry Ross
