The Flow State Formula: Neurohacking Mindfulness (Luke Live @ Mercado Sagrado) #266

Mercado Sagrado is one of my favorite events in the world. Every year, people trek to the mountains of Malibu to learn more about a more connected, conscious way of living. I’ve gone the past few years to run the Biohacking Lounge and host a session, and in 2019, I gave a talk titled, “The Flow State Formula: Neurohacking Mindfulness.”

In this immersive lecture, I will guide you through a lesson in achieving a rapid elevation of creativity, cosmic consciousness, and flow state brain entrainment. Using modalities ranging from ancient breath work, meditation, and movement practices to the most cutting-edge nootropic, herbal, smart drug, and psychedelic microdosing supplementation, you will learn how to stack the application of the most effective internal transformative tools with the latest external brain training biohacking technologies to radically and permanently upgrade your consciousness and performance. 

I give a lot of juicy and very specific details in this episode, so I’ve assembled all of these resources in one convenient place for you! You can download the slide deck I used for this presentation by going to lukestorey.com/limitless or texting IAMLIMITLESS to 44222 on a US phone.

 

09:23 — Roots of brain fog

• Inflammation
• Leaky gut
• Poor sleep habits

 

11:15 — Sleep Tools

• The value of tracking and gamifying sleep
• Oura Ring
• Chilipad 

 

14:30 — Meditation

• Nothing clears your mind after a good night’s sleep better than a solid meditation practice

 

15:41 — Float Tanks

• The experience is akin to a forced meditation
• How the AIDS crisis killed float tanks — and why that absolutely isn’t a fear founded in reality
• Just Float in Pasadena
• Float Lab in Westwood and Venice

 

19:00 — Breathwork

• Breathwork is a daily practice for me
• There are practices from a variety of modalities, and they’re all useful
• Similar to float tanks, breathwork can allow you to access consciousness and have mind-altering experiences stone-cold sober
• Holotropic breathing
• The effects of breathwork, generally

 

20:57 — Kundalini Yoga

• I’ve been practicing Kundalini for close to a decade, and I love it because it’s accessible to everyone who can sit in one place, breathe, and chant
• The vibe of Kundalini can, understandable, be off-putting to some people
• But there is a reason for all of the white and the turbans!

 

22:42 — Cryo / Ice baths

• If you live somewhere cold, you can just go outside when it’s below freezing
• I like cryo, but I LOVE ice baths
• Why getting cold blasts your brain with happy chemicals
• Getting cold regularly will elevate your life and your mood
• Even just a cold shower in the morning can make a big difference

 

25:10 — Inversions, movement, and blood flow

• Anything that in your bloodstream and you want to get into your brain will get there faster if you’re upside down — so inversion is great for stacking biohacks!

 

26:00 — Neuroacoustics therapy

• Binaural beats use sound to induce certain brainwave states
• NuCalm (save $500 using the code “luke500” at NuCalm.com)

 

29:30 — Brainwave entrainment/frequency technology

• One of the best things about these brain entrainment technologies is that they can help you reprogram the subconscious mind
• The value of stacking brain entrainment tech with recorded meditations or lectures
• Crushing limiting beliefs
• Brain Tap
• Ampcoil
• Biocharger

 

29:48 — Cranial micro-stimulation

• Circadia
• Alpha-Stim

 

33:10 — Neurofeedback

• Peak Brain Institute
• Neurofeedback is also a form of brain entrainment
• You can think of neurofeedback as teaching your brain to teach itself
• It can help people with PTSD, ADD, and ADHD minimize or even get rid of the problem

 

34:27 — Molecular Hydrogen

• Inflammation in the brain is one of the things that can prevent us from activating a flow state, but hydrogen is one of the best ways to reduce inflammation in your brain
• Vital Reaction™ 7% Inhaler
• Vital Reaction Molecular Hydrogen H2 Tablets

 

35:00 — Sungazing and Vitamin D

• Note that, whenever I’m talking about getting more sun, you should always and only do it in a way that’s safe for your eyes and skin
• Many of the hormones that affect your mood are related to your Vitamin D levels
• Sungazing and dawn and sunset allows you to take in a much more narrow spectrum of infrared light
• Nothing jacks up your dopamine like sungazing
• QuickSilver Scientific Premium Supplements
• Everybody Loves The Sunshine by Living Libations

 

36:34 — Magnesium

• Magnesium is the only supplement I always recommend

• Paracetam/Aniracetam
• Modafinil
• Methylene Blue Nicotine (Blue Cannatine)

 

41:30 — Microdosing & Lion’s Mane

• I’m not talking about tripping and partying
• This is not the path for everyone, especially people currently taking psych meds
• Interested in microdosing? Hit up my DMs on Instagram

 

45:40 — Listener Q&A

• What is Luke working on right now?
• Who does Luke follow?
• How does Luke know what works? Do you have a process for figuring out what’s actually working?

• What is Luke’s take on intermittent fasting?

THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

FOUR SIGMATIC. 64% of the U.S. population is already drinking coffee, but 100% of us should be drinking Four Sigmatic coffee — because it’s more than just coffee! It has Lion's Mane, which is my favorite medicinal mushroom because it helps with focus, productivity, and creativity. It’s just like a little biohacking bomb for your brain! And what I love most about Four Sigmatic is that you can get all of that in an instant coffee, which is great for when you’re busy or on the go or just don’t want to make a cup of coffee. And of course we have a special offer for the  Life Stylist podcast audience. You will get 15% off your Four Sigmatic order when you use the code LUKESTOREY at foursigmatic.com/LUKESTOREY.

JOOVV. If you’ve been listening for a while or following Luke on social media, you’ve probably seen him raving about red light therapy, or photobiomodulation. There are over 3000 published clinical papers on light therapy – over 200 being double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled – making this arguably the most well-researched bio hack in Luke’s arsenal. Some of the benefits include increased skin health, better muscle recovery, better sexual performance, and reduced joint pain and inflammation. So you can see why Luke is so into it... and why all of his friends keep coming over to use his Joovv device!
