Ep 224: Tame Your Brain And Go Beyond Your Limits

Start Your Transformation NowIn truth, you have no limits. You may have certain physical limitations but I’ve seen people with what are perceived to be huge limitations do unbelievable things. In this episode, I talk about how the concept of “go beyond your limits” was introduced to me. We are often told we have limits but how often do you think, “OK, I might have current limitations, and let me go beyond those? In shamanism, there is a quote that I love and it’s “When the warrior stops talking even the craziest of tasks becomes possible.” You may initially think that this episode is about self-talk but it’s really not, it’s about quieting and taming your mind that drives your self-talk. The reality is that the only reason you cannot go beyond your perceived limits is because you think you cannot and in that moment is when your brain-based programming, subconscious programming, and mental chatter are stopping you. We must stop the mental chatter, the “monkey brain.” But how? You’ll never stop your brain and fully quiet your mind, however, you can tame them both and that gives you a better opportunity to silence them as much as possible. In this episode, I explore seven ways that I have used and learned over the years and I have practiced many of them for decades. I give you a lot of choice and variety as different things will work for different people. We all process information differently and have different abilities, likes and preferences. You’ll obviously know of at least three to five of them and then a few you may not have heard about or thought of. So, listen and then experiment with what works for you. As I said above, the key to going beyond your limits is taming your mind and brain and honestly there is no better time than now and you’ll find the applications endless: Better health, wellness, focus, peace of mind, joy and maybe even doing things you have never done before. Transformational Takeaway: To quiet the mind you first have to tame the mind! When you tame your mind you can start going beyond your limits.Mentioned Resources:For more information on Heart Math and to visit their website, visit the link below.https://www.heartmath.comLet's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Ep 223: Are You A Spiritual Weekend Warrior?

Start Your Transformation NowWe all understand the concept of organization and things that we think we need to do in the world: Organize the office, clean the garage, organize the pantry, organize the files and the list goes on and on, right? However, how many of us think about the concept of organizing ourselves, and what do I mean by “organizing yourself?” I mean this in a spiritual way, and have you ever thought about that? What does it mean to “organize yourself spiritually?” Working with a shaman for decades I used to think he did things to assist me and one day I realized that he led me to organize myself internally because when I do that things start to work fluidly in life. What this means is to align yourself with your higher mind, function, and purpose and if you cannot organize your thinking and behavior around that you cannot align yourself with higher mind, spirit, Divine force, the quantum field, etc. The definition of organization is: Arrange into a structured whole; order.Now ask yourself, is your life spiritually organized? And, specifically in regard to your life/spiritual prioritizations? An important point to recognize is that organization takes prioritization and do you have your spiritual thoughts and behaviors organized in a hierarchy of values? What’s at the top of your value ladder? Spiritual evolution or 3D human things? Are you a “Spiritual Weekend Warrior” and prioritizing when it is convenient for you?Transformational Takeaway: When you organize your thoughts, behaviors, and actions with the higher callings of your soul/spirit, that will be priceless for you.Mentioned Resources:The Kybalion by Hermes TrismegistusEPISODE 33: “AYNI – The Reciprocity Of Life”EPISODE 35: “AYNI – The Reciprocity Of Life Part 2”EPISODE 163: “AYNI – The Reciprocity Of Life – Part 3”Disclosure: Some of the links above are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission if you make a purchase.Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Ep 222: What Makes Me Matter

Start Your Transformation NowI go a few different directions in this episode. I talk about “Doing the work” in life and tie that into “What Makes Me Matter.” When we come to what makes us matter, we metaphorically set ourselves on fire, and life becomes amazing. Most of us fall short when it comes to doing the work and things that need to be done in life because nothing has set us on fire to do what is necessary to create the outcomes we desire. When I had my stroke after heart failure, it was a lot of “work” healing and getting back to great health, and I do mean a lot of work! But, I did all the work necessary because I know that I matter in life. What I do professionally matters, I matter, my life matters – I am a person who matters. Read on, I’ll explain. One of the obstacles to doing the work in life is that we hit resistance and we stop and this is exactly when we should push through and persevere. Resistance keeps us from everything we want in life! Resistance comes in the form of fears, overly analytical rationalizations and the environment we live in. And, until we cut through all this head garbage we’re not going to bust through resistance, and when we don’t do that, we almost never do the great things in our life that bring us the greatest joy. This episode is all about what matter you matter in life and a simple way to discover that. It’s the approach that I take and live from. Transformational Takeaway: It’s vital that we come into the knowing of “why we are here,” and when we do that, what makes us matter becomes clear. And then…life becomes extraordinary!Mentioned Resources:https://adoptaplatoon.org/Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Ep 221: The Psychology of Doing The Impossible

Start Your Transformation NowHave you ever wondered how truly powerful your mind is? We all hear different stories about the “Power of the Mind” but have you experienced that in your own life? Personally, I used my “mind” to heal from a stroke and heart failure, all of which happened in a single year, 2020. And, as I was healing I was searching Youtube for inspirational videos and stories. I had never even taken so much as a prescription until my ordeals and I was wondering and searching for, “How do I heal myself beyond what modern medicine says I can do? I came across a video by a man named Bob Cafaro and it was titled, “The Psychology Of Beating An Incurable Disease.” The title sucked me in immediately and the video did not disappoint. As a far of matter, it was the single most impactful video that I watched. Bob healed himself from an incurable disease, Multiple Sclerosis. You read that right. He headed himself 100% using the power of his mind. I’m ecstatic because I’m visiting with Bob in this episode and he shares the specific activities that healed him. Before I talked to him, I was blown away because as we were talking, he shared how he “did the impossible,” literally. So, how does the interview apply to you and help you live a better life? Easy, if you’re in any way physically ill listening to this podcast episode can do one of the most important things you ever do and if you’ve never been in such circumstances, Bob demonstrates the power of doing the impossible.Transformational Takeaway: The only place where things are impossible is in your mind.Mentioned Resources:Bob Cafaro’s Website:http://bobcafaro.comLet's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Ep 220: Are You Leaking Energy?

Start Your Transformation NowWhen people read the episode title many think, “Well, that is an odd thought, what does it mean?” Specifically, you are an energetic being. You are a spiritual and cosmic being, and according to physics, and scientifically, you are akin to a cocoon of energy. All this said, being a cocoon of energy, do you “leak” your energy? What that means is that you only have so much energy, like a battery and if you leak your energy you weaken yourself.How do you weaken yourself and leak energy? Easy, by letting your emotions and specifically fear control you. When you “get into” your fears and negative emotions that is akin to putting a nail into a tire and creating a small leak. It’s vital that we examine our lives and observe our behaviors. How often and to what degree do you let your negative emotions and fear control you? That whatever that degree is the exact degree to which you weaken yourself. In this episode I share the seven primary ways which you leak your energy. I briefly talk about what other spiritual paths call these ways and I share all this from the perspective of shamanism which pervades and is older than all other ways. As you hear me share these seven ways what is vital is that you do not judge yourself and feel bad about yourself. What is important is to become aware of how you squander your energy and then start releasing your old ways and improving your behavior. The unfortunate thing about depleting your energy is that it takes your power away to heal yourself and to manifest, and that is the point of this entire episode, to make you more powerful. We all want to manifest and stay healthy, and the more we abuse and leak our very own energy, the less ability we have for self healing and manifestation, and then we’re in trouble.Transformational Takeaway: Stop the energy leaks so you can manifests your biggest desires in life.Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Ep 219: Making Cappuccino - And How Come It Is So Hard To Change?

Start Your Transformation NowIf you have tried to run from your life, then this episode is for you. And truth be told, most people in life are “runners” in that they try to run from jobs, circumstances, relationships and people.In 1990 I was waiting tables, and I hated my job. I mention cappuccino in the headline and this episode because in this job, I had to make a lot of cappuccino. And one day, when making cappuccino, I said, “I hate this. I’m going to change my life. I’m going to move across the country.”Being a mere 25 years old, what I didn’t realize is that no matter where I moved, I would take myself with me.My point is I was running, and as you’re reading this, you may think, “No Jim, that does not apply to me because…..”Truth be told it most likely does apply to you because…If you’re wanting to leave a job because you hate it, you’re running from it. You are the one who created it and if you leave it you’ll just take yourself with you.If you’re wanting to leave a relationship because it does not work for you anymore is it because you two are no longer compatible which could be real or is it because you’re tired of all the relationship challenges, which you had a hand in creating?If you’re wanting to create more money in your life are you running from the changes you have to make in yourself to make it happen? If so, this is why you keep repeating your old patterns over and over again. You want change but you’re not willing to change enough to create the outcomes you want.Whether we want to believe it or not, this applies to most of us. We have created what we have in life because of who we are in the moment but we try to change things without changing ourselves and if we do that, metaphorically speaking, we’re going to be making cappuccino over and over again until you create changes in your life.What’s vital and I talk about in in this episode is that we make the necessary changes and we actually follow through with me.In this episode I talk about three ways your brain holds you back from change and what to do instead so you stop finding yourself like me, “making cappuccino,” and living your same life over and over.Transformational Takeaway: Nothing changes until you change. How would you be? What would you do? How would you talk? What would you say? How would you feel if you were the person who had the outcomes you want in life?Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Ep 218: ENCORE Episode: What’s Going On In The World?

Start Your Transformation NowI’m asked that question all the time, “Hey Jim, what’s going on in the world?”At face value, how would I know any more than any other person on the planet who is not a behind-the-scenes power player?However, I have heard a great deal from my brother-in-law, don Xavier.He’s talked about this for years. Changes on the planet – human corruption, power plays, human ego, you know, the destructive side of human beings. And, magnetic pole shifts on the planet and the devastation humans are creating.There are two things I want to address in this episode, the 6th mass potentially extinction coming to humanity. Yes, you read that right, and no, it’s not some Tom Clancy movie script. Even reputable scientists and organizations have placed humans well into the process of another global extinction.The second thing is the control and manipulation on the planet, I touch less on this though it’s a HOT and controversial topic, but anyone with their eyes and mind open can see that many things happening on the planet “Don’t make sense.”So, what is happening?Listen and I’ll share some thoughts. Candidly, don Xavier has talked about this for decades with me and in very specific detail and I have never shared the details, and I’m not starting here, but I can share some general food for thought.Why I don’t share what has been shared with me is because the masses don’t want to hear it. They want to hear what confirms their individual models of reality. Remember, “Most people don’t ask for the truth, they ask for what confirms their reality.Some might like this episode, some may hate it. My ONLY agenda is to give you power and help you live a more spiritually aligned life, energetically.Transformational Takeaway: We learn to live together as a species or the species dies together.Mentioned Resources:Episode 1: Transforming Your Life From The Inside OutScience.orgAstronomy.comEarth.orgLet's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Ep 217: Are You Wasting Your Life?

Start Your Transformation NowThat’s a bold question I think. I mean, who is to say what the value of life is and what a life well lived is?Let’s make it simpler. Are you over the moon happy with what you’re doing in life in terms of your productivity? OK, put simpler, your job?Do you absolutely love what you do for a living?If you do, then all of this week’s podcast may not be for you but I assure you, some will strike a chord because even if you like or love your job, it does not mean you are aligned with your higher purpose.And, if you’re like the majority of people. You do what you do for a paycheck, to make a living, and even for what you think your definition of security is.So the next question is: How fulfilled are you in your life? But, let’s look deeper. Not just in what you have created like maybe a large company or a successful business but if you looked back over your life can you say, “I came to planet Earth with amazing resources I have gathered over lifetimes and I applied every bit of that to my experience on the planet?”That’s another bold and huge statement. Have you applied all your lifetimes of experience having been on the planet to your time now on the planet?If not, why not?Another massive question and I’m full of questions today. Do you know your dharma? I mean…why, why are you on the planet? What are you here to do while in this life?And, if you can’t answer the last question have you considered that you’re living your life completely lost and off-target. If that’s the case is it any surprise that you’re not creating what you want in life?This episode is for you if you’re not getting what you want in life.Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Ep 216: charity: water - An Extraordinary Story Of Service And Humanity

In just one week we raised $124,000 for charity: water and we changed the lives of many people, especially women, for a generation.In this episode I interviewed Scott Harrison, he’s the founder of charity: water.Scott has an interesting story. As you’ll hear, he went from a nightclub promoter to someone who created a charity that’s doing extraordinary things in the world!Initially, I wanted to interview him to hear his personal story so others could be inspired and learn from it and it turned into a segment about charity: water, which candidly, we should all hear.It’s mind-blowing the number of women in the world who spend an entire day just gathering and carrying water for their family. You’ll hear some extraordinary stories in this interview.In the end, Scott did share how he learned to live his life and that is exactly what I wanted to come across to you.
