The Iroquois and the Declaration of Independence

We need to stop believing that doing the right thing is expensive or will cut into your profits. Doing the right thing on a global scale will always make you more wealthy. I think that's true in any part of your life and I'd say relationship is the one area that we make the most mistakes in because we don't value relationships for what they're really capable of doing. We have very surfacy relationships and we're not trained into sacred, holy relationship at any level - friendship, marriage - we take these very surfacy versions of them. So, when we start to think about sacred commerce, I think it's time for us to maybe put in the words, 'sacred value,' again. Let's put sacred value back into everything. - Zach Bush MD

Check-in with yourself; what do you think is possible for your mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial wellness?

When you think about these possibilities do you feel tension and contraction within your body? Or do you feel excitement, peace, and expansion?

By the end of this episode, you will understand what sacred commerce and community mean plus how you can thrive in 2022.

At ION*, we are all about connection: cell to cell, person to planet. And while our mission is evergreen, our pursuit to reawaken connection is ever evolving.

The ION* path was first laid in 2012 when an obscure soil science article showed Dr. Zach Bush, Founder and CEO, a family of carbon molecules capable of partnering with the human body. Already primed with a passion for finding root-cause solutions to human health problems, Dr. Zach and team set off to better define how we support the microbiome - our foundation of wellness. The answer didn't lie in the probiotics industry, but through our bodies’ innate drive to heal and thrive. The domino effect of good health, they found, was a function of supporting, not supplementing.

Power Quotes From The Show The Devolution of Our Food System

"When we start to think about value systems, we need to ask ourselves: Are we in a state of scarcity or abundance? What do we really value? Are we valuing life behind something that we're consuming? Is that the food we're eating? Are we going to start to eat more conscientiously? Or are we going to keep eating things that are wrapped in layers of cellophane, plastic, and metal or are we going to start to have reverence for fruits, vegetables, and the animals that we kill? Are we going to start to have reverence again for the humans that work in our food system?" - Zach Bush MD

 

Spiritual Awakening Takes a Willing Heart

"A spiritual awakening doesn't take a process, it takes a willing heart. If you just become willing for a second, the universe will show up for you so quickly, you won't be able to believe it. It doesn't take effort; it takes surrender. It's the opposite of effort - just let go of all of your beliefs of what it's going to take to become conscious. We are players in this beautiful, symphonic dance of life in the universe and humanity has this opportunity to surrender into that right now."  - Zach Bush MD

 

Where Does Hope Come From?

"When we step away from the amygdala and from the emotional brain to start stepping into a state of existence, that's where we can find the vibrational states of joy, peace, and hope. They're not something that needs to be manufactured or conjured up - you're simply tuning into a frequency and it happens to be hope." - Zach Bush MD
