Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Who Do You Choose to Be? "You are who you choose to be right now. Every moment is a new moment. Every moment, the cells in our body are dying and being reborn. We're constantly dying and being reborn. The thing that keeps us stuck in an old reality is the story that we tell ourselves about who we are. We have to become aware of the story and the self image about who we are and how we see ourselves if we want to let go and shift our vibration." - Aaron Doughty Change Your Past "There's an infinite number of parallel realities that exist. There are many different timelines we could experience in the future, but by the time the future comes, it won't be the future. It'll be this moment right now. What if as we change the present moment, we also change the past that we connect to? We think of our past as the solid thing, but there may have been us that had many different versions of our own past." - Aaron Doughty Change The World by Changing Yourself "Our world changes as we change. A lot of times people want to change the world but they're going out to do that and they're searching for something that's backwards.

He learned meditation and started to question everything he "thought" about who he is. That propelled a journey of self-discovery by reading hundreds of books, listening to seminars, and going within to look for the answers. Through that journey, he let go of his painful past, dropped labels that didn’t serve, and became FREE of much of the autopilot beliefs he was operating from. From that point on, he has felt it is his mission to empower other people to know that they are high vibrational beings that can become FREE of past pain and past negative experiences. Aaron believes his life purpose is to raise his vibration and level of consciousness and to help others do it too. He believes that deep down, you are also on a journey of raising your vibration and that as you do, it changes the world. Website Instagram Facebook Twitter YouTube Listen To The Latest Episodes...

Paul Levy | Healing Wetiko: How To Break Free From Collective Mass Psychosis (r/p)
We are embodied reflections of each other. And what that means is that there’s no separate self. When you begin to see that, you’ll see through the imagination. Wetiko makes us think that we exist in a way that we don’t. It makes us think that we exist as a reference point in space and time, as a separate self, and as soon as we see ourselves in that way, we then think the world is objective, separate from us. - Paul Levy Live Life Well from Sunrise to Sunset Save 20% with code "WELLNESSFORCE" on everyone's favorite Superfoods brand, ORGANIFI, including their Sunrise to Sunset Bundle and their Women's Power Stack that includes HARMONY + GLOW for true hormonal balance and great health radiating through your beautiful skin.

How is the Wetiko mind virus governing our lives and the world, and what is the most efficient remedy to awaken from the collective dream? Join Paul and Josh as they dive deep into Wetiko. Learn how to recognize Wetiko, what to do to free yourself from it, and how it impacts society and manifests in our day-to-day lives. Listen To This Special Replay of Episode 503 As Paul Levy Uncovers: [2:45] Poisoning Of The Human Evolution Awaken In The Dream With Paul Levy Wetiko: Healing the Mind-Virus That Plagues Our World by Paul Levy Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking the Curse of Evil by Paul Levy 405 Tim Corcoran | Vision Quest: How To Find Your Place In The Ecology of Life, Purpose Mountain & Spiritual Courage Paul Chek The mind virus: Why the origin of all evil comes from our psyche. 345 Zach Bush MD: Humanity, Consciousness & COVID19 How we get distracted by searching for problems outside of ourselves. Why most spiritual traditions point to the Wetiko mind virus. Carl Jung Why Josh finds it fascinating that the word, “evolution” contains the word, “love.” The reason why we as a society commit collective suicide. Why the mind virus is a source of the greatest evil and how we became its instrument. What it means that the medicine is encoded inside the mind virus. [9:15] Wetiko Manifestation In Our Everyday Lives What the Wetiko is trying to reveal and why we need to recognize what it’s showing us. Kabbalah Kahuna shamanism Christian mysticism How Paul discovered his childhood trauma and the suffering caused by his father wound. How the process of observing his own mind for several years and meditating made him realize that we are having a collective dream. Why his awakening was mistaken for a mental illness. Why he identifies with the shamanic archetype. His realization that the evil he received from his father was manifesting through the system in the psychiatric institution. What happens when an evil cannibalistic spirit takes over people’s minds. Trans-personal energy: Higher-dimensional energy that can possess us and keep us “asleep.” How groups of people with power unwillingly become the instrument of trans-personal energy. [16:15] Our True, Creative Nature VS Collective Psychosis His practice to become familiar with his true nature to avoid being touched by evil. What true nature is according to Paul and how it helps us with Wetiko. Paul explains why nobody is immune to Wetiko. Why a negative father is an archetype that exists in the collective unconscious, and how it relates to domination and objectification of Mother Nature. The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are by Alan Watts Why Josh thinks forcing a meaning of something can make us fall into spiritual bypassing. The reason Paul wrote the book about Wetiko and had to split it into two books. How seeing Wetiko takes away its power and empowers yourself. [23:40] Fighting Wetiko With Our Consciousness Why the essence of the Medicine Buddha is an inspiration to Paul, and the story behind his tapestry. Wetiko in sacred texts: Why was it edited out of the Bible? How Wetiko offers us a false identity and how it manipulates us through it unless we are able to identify our true self. Uncovering how the Bible indirectly describes Wetiko as a blindness of the mind correlated to the coldness of the heart. Why the revelation of quantum physics is a medicine for Wetiko. What it means that we are the solution and we possess the creative power to heal ourselves from the mind virus. Paul explains a Tibetan Buddhist tradition: Terma (hidden treasure). How quantum physics is a modern-day analog to the Terma: Discovering there is no such thing as an objective world. Why the belief that we are passive witnesses and the world is objective gives power to Wetiko. How dreams become a reflection of our minds, reinforce our viewpoints, and hypnotize ourselves [36:00] The Collective Dream Of Separate Selves Josh explains why it’s impossible to go back to being unconscious after you start your healing journey. What the Bleep Do We Know!? The importance of recognizing that we are in a collectively shared dream. Why the characters in our dreams are aspects of ourselves. There is no separate self: We are embodied reflections of each other. Why seeing ourselves as separate from the world keeps us disconnected from our true nature. What it means that we are unique points of consciousness expressing itself from a source according to Josh. [40:20] Becoming The Observer + Changing The Past Quantum Revelation: A Radical Synthesis of Science and Spirituality by Paul Levy Why according to quantum physics there is only the present moment, and how we can access our power through it. What it means that the past isn’t finished: We can observe the past in this moment and change it through our creative imagination to heal. How we express the atemporal part of us that is conscious in the linear timeline. Unnatural time frequency and mind distortion: How our relation to time causes insanity. Why we put too much emphasis and give meaning to time. [44:20] Awakening From The Wetiko Dream God is dark and light, everything and nothing, love, and hate. Why our power lies in how we interpret our experience according to Paul. How quantum physics proves to us that we are creating our experience of the world and ourselves moment by moment. The universe is malleable and mutable just like our experiences and who we are. The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living by Dalai Lama Why the more you express compassion, the more compassion there is to share. How helping others awaken actually helps us because we are not separate. Bodhisattva: Being in the process of awakening. How awakening can also become contagious that can affect the world in a positive way. The secret power of dreaming: What would happen if we and all characters in our dreams would awaken. Josh sings a song that reminds him of what Paul was talking about. [51:15] The Self-Induced Mind Blindness What physically impossible things happened to Paul when he started awakening. He tells a story about how he helped a blind woman see again with his words, and how it made him realize he was not insane but awakening. 311 Mark Wolynn | It Didn’t Start With You: Ending The Cycle of Inherited Trauma 366 Mark Wolynn | How To Heal Generational Trauma: The Thoughts, Feelings, Patterns & Behaviors Formed Before You Were Ever Born It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle by Mark Wolynn Why the Bible says that mindblindness is self-induced. The essence of Paul’s work: Trying to help people open their eyes and see Wetiko. What happens when you recognize the correlation between the outer world and your inner state, and finally recognize the dream. [57:55] The Source Of Our Suffering A text by Jesus Christ that was edited out from the Bible: “I am a mirror to those that perceive me.” Why the mirror is a symbol of true nature in Buddhism. How identifying ourselves with our unhealed wounds feeds the Wetiko. How Buddha discovered that the source of our suffering is clinging. What it means that there is no Wetiko outside of us and the fear of Wetiko is actually Wetiko. [01:01:55] The Inner & The Outer Manifestation Of Wetiko 344 Leslie Manookian | COVID19 – The Truth About Flattening The Curve Josh explains collective madness according to Carl Jung. Why Paul believes that Jung used the word ‘totalitarian psychosis’ to describe Wetiko. The inner and the outer reflection of Wetiko: How it controls our mind like totalitarianism controls the world. How we can envision who we are and our world through ideas. Why the greatest tyrants in history were scared of new ideas. How our creative power potentiates when we get in phase with each other and become of service to the whole. Paul reveals why quantum physicists lose their job when they try to tell the truth about consciousness. The new symbolic idea: We can change the collective dream we’re having. [01:06:55] How Our Trauma Projects In The World Why the mirror etymologically means a holder of the shadow. Shadow projecting: Not owning our own darkness makes us project it out and embody it. How the evil outside of us is a reflection of ourselves, and why recognizing this brings us closer to our light and goodness. Josh shares his experience with his fear of being dominated. How Paul’s father tried to annihilate his light when he saw him stepping into his light because that’s what he was doing to himself. The Murder of Christ: The Emotional Plague of Mankind by Wilhelm Reich Unpacking how we are still murdering the Christ; the light force within us, by not being awake. How abuse trauma shows us that we are abusing ourselves. [01:13:15] The Antidote For Wetiko 481 Scott Jackson | Rewire Yourself: How To Create A Life You Love With Freedom From Subconscious Sabotage Symbols are the language of dreams and the antonym to ‘diabolic’: Recognizing the dream-like nature is the antidote for the diabolic energy of Wetiko. How language creates our experience according to Paul. What happens to all the potentialities that don’t manifest in the world. Why there is always the possibility of creating a different reality according to quantum physics. Hundredth monkey effect Why it’s important to envision ourselves awakening. What wellbeing means to Paul: Connecting with our creative agency and our true nature. Power Quotes From The Show The World Is A Reflection Of Our Inner World "What’s happening externally in the world is reflecting what’s happening in the mind, and vice versa. With Wetiko, we all have a potential, when all of a sudden it becomes activated, it will set up this shadow government within our mind. It will subsume the healthy parts of the psyche into its service. It will hijack the psyche. It will colonize our mind. It will dictate to the ego in such a way that we then become in service to it, to the point that we become possessed, we become taken over, we become instruments of our own enslavement. That’s exactly what’s happening in the world with totalitarianism." - Paul Levy The Subjective Observation Of The World "There is no such thing as an objective world. That’s just an idea in our head that the active observation of the world actually influences the world we’re observing. That’s the description of a dream. What that means is that the active observation is creative. That’s the portal into this immense vast creative power that each one of us has, each and every moment in creating our experience." - Paul Levy What Feeds The Wetiko Virus "There is no Wetiko outside of us. If people hear about a mind virus and feel afraid, that feeling afraid, that is Wetiko. There’s nothing to feel afraid of because there is nothing there. But if we cling to it and give it with reality, then we’re colluding with our own victimization, then we’re complicit with evil, then we’re investing in the reality of Wetiko, and there’s nobody else to blame but ourselves." - Paul Levy Links From Today's Show Awaken In The Dream With Paul Levy Wetiko: Healing the Mind-Virus That Plagues Our World by Paul Levy Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking the Curse of Evil by Paul Levy 405 Tim Corcoran | Vision Quest: How To Find Your Place In The Ecology of Life, Purpose Mountain & Spiritual Courage Paul Chek 345 Zach Bush MD: Humanity, Consciousness & COVID19 Carl Jung Kabbalah Kahuna shamanism Christian mysticism The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are by Alan Watts What the Bleep Do We Know!?

Dr. Kevin Preston | The Emotional Roots of Disease: How Progressive Chinese Medicine Liberates Stuck Energy + Heals Generational Trauma
Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 597 What is the connection between emotions and illness? Dr. Kevin Preston, Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom podcast, episode 597, to discuss how each of our organs stores repressed emotions, why we need to listen to our pain before we try to get rid of it, and how emotions get passed on from generation to generation. "Any emotion that's not been fully integrated creates an energetic blockage in the organs, whether it's fear, anger, or grief. If it's not dealt with, eventually it manifests physically. Any number of symptoms, mentally, emotionally, physically, it means something's blocked, which is why I've always loved acupuncture because it was designed to unblock meridian flow and blood circulation. So when you do treatment, all you're doing is giving the body a little bit of support to unblock the places it's stuck." - Dr. Kevin Preston Live Life Well from Sunrise to Sunset Save 20% with code "WELLNESSFORCE" on everyone's favorite Superfoods brand, ORGANIFI, including their Sunrise to Sunset Bundle with the best tasting Green, Red, and Gold Juice blends to make your day complete.

Every one of those organs has a different emotion associated in the Chinese medicine theory. So spleen would be overthinking, excessive contemplation, which is modern phenomena. If you spend all day, all night ruminating in your mind, thinking and obsessing about things, that will damage your spleen because you're taxing that energy system too much." - Dr. Kevin Preston Generational Fear "Kindeys store fear. If your ancestors went through horrendous fear, that memory, that imprint, that epigenetic nuance could be imprinted in their body and passed forward to you. That baby may have kidney issues, actual physical kidney issues. They're carrying that lineage of that energy that is just looking to be into the light, it's looking to be resolved." - Dr. Kevin Preston Healing Your Lineage "A lot of people don't look deeper because they don't want to find what's there because they are going to need to change things in their life. Sometimes they think, how come I'm the one in my family that's having to heal all this generational trauma? And I think, what a gift, even though it's hard, that it's finding you. That is the seedling, the plant, the energy that's seeking its way as like, oh, this person can. This person holds enough energy, enough compassion, enough love in their heart to heal so many generational aspects." - Dr. Kevin Preston Links From Today's Show Dr. Kevin Preston 386 Mark Groves | Create More Love: How To Deal w/ Breakups, Boundaries, & Beyond 481 Scott Jackson | Rewire Yourself: How To Create A Life You Love With Freedom From Subconscious Sabotage The Psychic Roots of Disease by Björn Eybl 23andMe 579 Sinus Health Masterclass | Using Acoustic Energy To Clear Nasal Congestion Naturally (No Drugs!) 591 Dr. John Lieurance | Biohacking Big Souls: How UFC Fighters + Big Wave Surfers Holistically Heal 366 Mark Wolynn | How To Heal Generational Trauma: The Thoughts, Feelings, Patterns & Behaviors Formed Before You Were Ever Born Epigenetic Approach to PTSD: In the Aspects of Rat Models Alan Watts BREATHE Program - 33% off with code "PODCAST33" 369 Paul Chek: All Is God | Part 1 of 3 The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself by Michael Singer Conscious Millionaire Show JV Crum III The Collective Hearts Retreats Fish Fisher Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products BREATHE - 33% off with the code “PODCAST33” SiPhox - 10% off with code "JOSH" Holy Hydrogen - $100 off with code "JOSH" Myoxcience - Save 20% with code "JOSH20" SinuSonic - 15% off with "JOSH15" Organifi - 20% off with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' QI-Shield EMF Device - 20% off with the code "JOSH" SEED Synbiotic - 30% off with the code "JOSHTRENT" BON CHARGE - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" MANNA Vitality - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" SimplyO3 - 10% off with code "JOSH10" Kineon - 10% off with code "JOSH10" Mendi.io - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" Adapt Naturals - 15% off with code "WELLNESSFORCE" SpectraSculpt - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" SaunaSpace - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Cured Nutrition CBD - 20% off with the code "WELLNESS FORCE" PLUNGE - $150 off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" LiftMode - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" MitoZen - 10% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Paleovalley - 15% off with the link only NOOTOPIA - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Activation Products - 20% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - $25 off with the code "JOSH25" BiOptimizers - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" ION - 15% off with the code ‘JOSH15' Feel Free from Botanic Tonics - $40 off with the code "WELLNESS40" Essential Oil Wizardry - 15% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATERS - 33% off your first order with the code "JOSH33" Earth Runners Shoes - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" EnergyBITS - 20% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" Create Wellness Creatine Gummies - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" EQUIP Foods - 15% off with the code JOSH15 DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Drink LMNT - Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase Free Resources M21 Wellness Guide - Free 3-Week Breathwork Program with Josh Trent Join Wellness + Wisdom Community About Dr. Kevin Preston Kevin is a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Herbalist, and Acupuncturist, trained in biological medicine.

Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Love Doesn‘t Keep Score "Love does not keep score. But I was keeping score because I thought if it doesn‘t work out, then I have all this evidence stacked to why she hurt me and why everything transpired the way it did. I was building a case as to if it didn‘t work out then like it was her fault. What was missing was me not loving Josh. Not choosing Josh. Not actually fucking choosing Josh. Not even knowing what it is to choose myself." - Josh Trent Love Beyond A Relationship "I didn't know if you were going to love me beyond our relationship. I had to know that you were going to love me even if it wasn't in service to you. It feels different when you can truly choose someone and you‘re not choosing someone out of fear of losing them." - Carrie Michelle Let Go of Your Triggers "I have to let go of everything that is triggering me, what I think is wrong, and what I'm blaming you, shaming you, or judging you about and just ask myself "What can I really learn from this?" You're not my dad, you're not my mom, but on some visceral level this lives in us. And we unconsciously push it onto the person that we love. It's just so sad that we do that. But it's liberating to have that awareness." - Josh Trent Links From Today's Show Carrie Michelle Margo Running 463 JP Sears | This Is How Media HIJACKS Your Mind: Stop Censoring Yourself & Heal The Tyrant Within 386 Mark Groves | Create More Love: How To Deal w/ Breakups, Boundaries, & Beyond Gabor Mate David Goggings Finding Joe 483 Wayland Myers | NonViolent Communication: How to Stop Arguments In 60 Seconds + The Power of Loving Detachment Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products BREATHE - 33% off with the code “PODCAST33” SiPhox - 10% off with code "JOSH" Holy Hydrogen - $100 off with code "JOSH" Myoxcience - Save 20% with code "JOSH20" SinuSonic - 15% off with "JOSH15" Organifi - 20% off with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' QI-Shield EMF Device - 20% off with the code "JOSH" SEED Synbiotic - 30% off with the code "JOSHTRENT" BON CHARGE - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" MANNA Vitality - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" SimplyO3 - 10% off with code "JOSH10" Kineon - 10% off with code "JOSH10" Mendi.io - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" Adapt Naturals - 15% off with code "WELLNESSFORCE" SpectraSculpt - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" SaunaSpace - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Cured Nutrition CBD - 20% off with the code "WELLNESS FORCE" PLUNGE - $150 off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" LiftMode - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" MitoZen - 10% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Paleovalley - 15% off with the link only NOOTOPIA - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Activation Products - 20% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - $25 off with the code "JOSH25" BiOptimizers - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" ION - 15% off with the code ‘JOSH15' Feel Free from Botanic Tonics - $40 off with the code "WELLNESS40" Essential Oil Wizardry - Save 15% with "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATERS - 33% off your first order with the code "JOSH33" Earth Runners Shoes - 10% off with code "JOSH10" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Drink LMNT - Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase EnergyBITS - Save 20% with "WELLNESSFORCE" Create Wellness Creatine Gummies - Save 20% with "JOSH20" EQUIP Foods - Save 15% with code JOSH15 Free Resources M21 Wellness Guide - Free 3-Week Breathwork Program with Josh Trent Join Wellness + Wisdom Community About Margo Running San Francisco born, Euro descent, walking lightly on the land currently on Maui, the home of voyagers, the Kanaka Maoli Margo has lived many incarnations in this life, many careers fully expressed, from cooking for 350 people daily, as a massage therapist, and kindergarten teacher; all for decades each period.

This is a special solo cast where every Thursday I speak from the heart about a topic that I and we can all learn from that is both timeless and timely when it comes to our own journey of a life well lived. If you're brand new to the podcast, this may or may not be a perfect place for you to start. On Thursdays, I share an additional bonus episode, either with myself or myself being interviewed that I believe is of true value to one or all of the five sides of what we here at the Wellness + Wisdom podcast call the Wellness Pentagon... These are the five sides of the house we live in - they make up the quality of our life, so starting at the floor with our physical, then moving to the walls of our mental and emotional, and building the roof of our spiritual and financial within ourselves so that essentially we can show up and love our life and love others. I've definitely learned by becoming a father and producing this podcast in almost 10 years and with over 600 episodes that the true embodiment of intelligence only comes with time, compassion, and the work of integration. This is the only way I know it occurs and this is a topic that deserves exploration today. Specifically our spiritual development side of the Wellness Pentagon, now I am not a political activist. I do not choose a side. I am neither Democrat nor Republican so none of this that you were going to hear today on the podcast has anything to do with my political opinion, I'm simply a witness as you are of the shadow of humanity that is playing out right now with Palestine and Israel. Again, I want to remind you that this is not my opinion of which side is right or which side needs more resources, that is not important, what is important is that we all learn individually, and as a collective, as to why war exists specifically wars about religion or politics, which essentially always happen from a place of greed or control or power. The Intention of This Solocast My intention with this is to explore my own personal, and our collective wounding around the shadow of humanity that allows war to continue in the first place so let's begin. War is such a challenging thing, because it is found as a natural organic unfolding process in nature when we see bears at war or animals at war, or a shark eating a seal. Although grotesque and horrific beyond what many can tolerate, war is a continuation of modernity's shadow expression of greed, power, and control. War, in essence, has been called a continuation of politics by other means. In the heart of the Middle East, amidst the complex tapestry of history and conflict, lies a region that has become synonymous with strife and struggle - Palestine and Israel. For decades, these two entities have been entwined in a bitter and seemingly intractable dispute, leaving scars that run deep. However, beneath the surface of geopolitical tensions and historical grievances, there emerge profound lessons in self-love and self-healing that resonate not only within the borders of these nations but reverberate across the collective consciousness of humanity. Understanding the Context The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a mosaic of historical complexities, territorial disputes, and clashing national identities. Rooted in a history that spans centuries, the struggle for land and recognition has given rise to a cycle of violence that has left both Palestinians and Israelis grappling with the weight of their shared past. Yet, within this crucible of conflict, there lies an opportunity for self-reflection and growth, individually and collectively. Self-Love Amidst Adversity One of the most poignant lessons that emanate from the heart of this conflict is the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Palestinians, despite enduring decades of displacement and hardship, are exemplifying a self-determined and profound form of self-love. In the persistent pursuit of justice and recognition, they find strength within themselves, cultivating a deep-seated belief in the validity of their existence and the right to self-determination. Similarly, Israelis navigating a complex socio-political landscape marked by constant security concerns and historical trauma must confront their own journey towards self-love. The recognition of the need for security is intertwined with the acknowledgment that true peace is born out of understanding and empathy, both for oneself and the "other." The Power of Forgiveness In the quest for self-healing, forgiveness becomes a powerful tool for individuals and nations alike. The wounds inflicted by decades of conflict can only begin to heal when both Palestinians and Israelis acknowledge the pain of the past and extend empathy to one another. The olive branch must be extended, and I am not here to say that I know how it would be especially if I was a family member, who lost a brother, sister, mother, father, daughter, son, grandparent, or close relative. I can't even begin to imagine what that might feel like, and that deserves a deep breath and the deepest depth of compassion. The ability to forgive, while not forgetting, is an act of self-love that liberates individuals from the shackles of hatred and resentment. While this journey towards forgiveness is fraught with challenges, it offers an invaluable lesson for humanity at large. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict teaches us that the path to healing begins with acknowledging our own wounds and finding the strength to let go of the burden of hatred. What is happening right now in the Middle East deserves a global deep breath and there are really no words that I can say to assuage the pain that both sides are feeling and experiencing with levels of loss that most people cannot even comprehend or contend with here in North America for the most part. But it is the truth that the only way out is through what I believe is really happening right now in the Middle East, and really anywhere where there is bloodshed and children being killed, and families being separated, is the darkest part of our collective shadow that we are not willing to take an honest look at. The Darkest Part of our Shadow That dark part of our Shadow is the thing that makes me control, others, where I don't feel safe and myself, so I project that lack of safety onto other people, and then I start telling myself a story that the only way I can be safe is if I attack the person who I perceive may attack me. And so on and so forth, you can see how the spiral feeds itself how war leads to more war which leads to war, and the only way out is through. I remember we were talking about this on multiple podcasts, but one of them hit me the hardest when I was speaking with Scott Jackson in episode number 481 which you can find by going over to JoshTrent.com/481, where we were discussing neural linguistic programming, and this critical factor, which is essentially the barrier between our conscious and unconscious integration of self. It made me reflect on so many times in my life when I have harmed others, even when I didn't want to or when I was young, and I had a lack of awareness around my behaviors, which is essentially a microcosm that is playing out in a microcosm of this conflict in the Middle East, and also conflict across the planet. One thing I was reminded of by this podcast was how young we are as humanity. When you look at how old the world is and how old animals and different species are that have lived here on the planet. Humanity's Maturation We are essentially a teenager, young teenager, who is finding their way of love and fear of scarcity and abundance of dark and light, and although painful this is all designed by the creator, otherwise, it would not be happening, and that is the meaning that I rest upon. This meaning of mystery is that we don't know why the creator allows these things to occur, but we know that a part of ourselves is maturing, and it happens through thousands of generations just like it always has and always will. So I can take solace in the fact that you and I are here in this compensation hearts connected from this podcast that I know will ripple out to the hearts and minds of people who need to hear this most. But honestly what we need now is a different conversation of our micro behaviors because over time. Those micro behaviors are the very thing that will unravel the gauntlet of war. It may not seem like that now, especially if you look at the history of all of the world wars we've had, and all of the conflicts on the planet but what I know to be true is that within myself there is a tyrant, a general, a king, a lover, a magician, a warrior, and all the things, and it is only where I place my attention, that archetype grows within me. Where Do We Go From Here? So what does all this truly mean, what is the solution to this war, and the death, and tragedy, and trauma that is happening in the Middle East? I believe it is an awakening, an awakening of consciousness, and an awakening of a deeper awareness of self, and it is coming through violence and bloodshed, which, although incredibly sad beyond words, is playing out in the mysterious unfolding of life here on planet Earth. So the solution right now is that there is no solution other than the behaviors that we take in every single city that we live in with every moment of our lives with our children with our brothers and sisters, with the food that we eat the water that we drink the products that we buy the things that we believe in shape the reality of our lives, literally, and figuratively. What we need now is to start building schools and homes and families that return to a conservative nature and abide by and respect the laws of nature. The source of so many of these wars is a fear that you believe something different than I believe, specifically, when it comes to religion. Holy wars and religious wars are so ironically blind to themselves into their motivations for war in the first place. Because if you look at any religious text whether it's from China Israel Palestine, or even the depths of the Bible and Christianity at the core foundational teachings there is love acceptance and compassion. So how ironic is it that in any holy war where people are being killed because they do not believe what the other side believes, that they themselves have forgotten the very core foundation of their own religions, and that is, God is love. Building Bridges To The WE The physical and metaphorical walls that have been erected between Israelis and Palestinians symbolize the deep-seated divisions that exist within their societies. Yet, the very existence of these barriers serves as a stark reminder of the need to dismantle the walls within ourselves. The journey towards self-love and self-healing requires breaking down the walls of prejudice, bias, and fear that inhibits our ability to connect with others on a fundamental human level. As Palestinians and Israelis seek to build bridges of understanding, it prompts a global audience to reflect on their own internal barriers. The notion that true peace is achieved not through separation but through connection is a profound lesson that transcends borders. International Solidarity and Collective Healing The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not isolated from the broader context of global politics and human rights. In supporting the quest for justice and peace in the region, the international community participates in a collective act of self-love—a recognition that our fates are intertwined, and the healing of one part of the world contributes to the healing of the whole. The Crucible of Humanities Healing Palestine and Israel serve as a crucible of humanity's capacity for both darkness and light. The lessons in self-love and self-healing that emerge from this tumultuous region resonate with a universal call for introspection and transformation. As Palestinians and Israelis navigate the arduous path towards reconciliation, they provide humanity with a mirror through which we can examine our own prejudices, fears, and capacity for forgiveness. In embracing the profound lessons offered by this enduring conflict, we, as a global community, can move towards a future built on empathy, understanding, and the collective healing of wounds that transcend borders. The journey towards self-love and self-healing is, ultimately, a shared odyssey that unites us in our common humanity. I really hope this podcast allows your heart to expand and your mind to see things in a different way through a new set of eyes. As I said, this is not a political podcast, and I am not here to choose sides, my goal and intention with this episode is simply to give, a resounding call to myself, and all of us to heal the tyrant inside of us and the warmonger inside of us the one that controls by domination and power when we know if we've done any spiritual work, that true power only comes from peace. War of Self: The Journey Towards Forgiveness Because the power that comes from peace can be trusted and power that is taken by force never can be trusted because down the road one day that power will eventually be taken back by the people it was taken from because that power did not come from peace. So the way forward is, through the darkness, through this shadow of humanity through this incredibly what feels like insane time, the only way out is through so my wish is that all of us do our deep, spiritual work starting with ourselves our friends our families are community. Our cities are country, and that is what will shift the tide. Maybe in our lifetime maybe not but everything that we do now ripples forward to our children who will teach their children and eventually I do believe that a beautiful world we all know is possible that still has challenges but that has much less bloodshed is absolutely possible, and it starts in our hearts today with this conversation. You are loved you are supported, and you are on the right path. Even at times when it seems like, you are not, you are, and the deeper you can choose to connect with God, or higher power, or the universe, or whatever nomenclature you like to put on the very thing that created you, the very thing that when you hold your children or you hug your friends, or you put your hand on your own heart that feeling of love you have that awareness of love, that is God and God is love, and God has a plan for all of and so let us meditate or pray or just take space right now for a deep breath, and a moment for all the loss and the tragedy in the Middle East, and know that we can begin the healing here many many miles away in our own hearts by asking ourselves this powerful question: God, what do I need to learn and how can I be most humble to learn it? From that question, we start to unravel the war in ourselves, and eventually over time with compassion, and effort, and love, and showing day after day, I do trust in my heart that the war will unravel when we choose to turn and look inside of ourselves. That is my wish for both of us, for all of us, so take that with you as you're going into your life and make sure that you enjoy this podcast. You share it with somebody that you care about who may be struggling with some of these concepts and if you're looking for a deeper spiritual practice, it begins with the way that you breathe.

The Ultimate Nutrition Bible: Easily Create the Perfect Diet that Fits Your Lifestyle, Goals, and Genetics by Matt Gallant and Wade Lightheart Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts Power Quotes From The Show Chronic Stress "It's almost like we're carrying around IVs and every few seconds there's a little drip of stress. Our ancestors had stress but it wasn't like ours. We are in chronic stress all the time. And because it doesn't necessarily hit instantaneously, meaning the buildup of these toxins is happening but you don't notice when it starts happening. When it suddenly builds up to the point where you have massive brain fog." - Mark Effinger Surplus in Life "Once you start finding that extra 10, 20, 30, or 50% of available surplus in your life, the things that will start showing up that allow you to pause and reflect, and if you internalize them and say "what does that thing mean to me?" I guarantee you will find some event, person, possibility, or opportunity that will become the catalyst for the biggest future." - Mark Effinger Nootropics: The Bridge to Greater Cognitive Capacity "Nootropics can be a bridge to psychedelics. It isn't the euphoria necessarily.It isn't the out-of-body experience. It's not the loss of ego. But it is a bridge to more cognitive bandwidth, more capacity to deal with cognitive load, more opportunity to laterally think, to be creative, to explore some of the things instead of that shrinking in of ourself." - Mark Effinger Links From Today's Show Mark Effinger Nootopia - 10% off with code: "JOSH10" 497 Mark Effinger | Brain + Mood Optimization: Become Unstoppable With Nootropics Nootropics as Cognitive Enhancers: Types, Dosage and Side Effects of Smart Drugs Collagenius - 10% off with code "JOSH10" Elon Musk My First Million Podcast The Top 5 Neurotransmitters from a Clinical Neurologist's Perspective Charlie Rose Bryan Johnson Clean Fifteen David Goggins Maria Bamford David Sinclair The Last of Us 482 Dave Asprey | Advanced Biohacking For Body Mind & Spirit: How To Train A Healthy Brain, Boost Your Flow State + Remove False Beliefs The Ultimate Nutrition Bible: Easily Create the Perfect Diet that Fits Your Lifestyle, Goals, and Genetics by Matt Gallant and Wade Lightheart Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products BREATHE - 33% off with the code “PODCAST33” SiPhox - 10% off with code "JOSH" Holy Hydrogen - $100 off with code "JOSH" SinuSonic - 15% off with "JOSH15" Organifi - 20% off with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' QI-Shield EMF Device - 20% off with the code "JOSH" SEED Synbiotic - 30% off with the code "JOSHTRENT" BON CHARGE - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" MANNA Vitality - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" SimplyO3 - 10% off with code "JOSH10" Kineon - 10% off with code "JOSH10" Mendi.io - 20% off with the code "JOSH20" Adapt Naturals - 15% off with code "WELLNESSFORCE" SpectraSculpt - 15% off with the code "JOSH15" SaunaSpace - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Cured Nutrition CBD - 20% off with the code "WELLNESS FORCE" PLUNGE - $150 off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" LiftMode - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" MitoZen - 10% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Paleovalley - 15% off with the link only NOOTOPIA - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" Activation Products - 20% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - $25 off with the code "JOSH25" BiOptimizers - 10% off with the code "JOSH10" ION - 15% off with the code ‘JOSH15' Feel Free from Botanic Tonics - $40 off with the code "WELLNESS40" Essential Oil Wizardry - 10% off with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATERS - 33% off your first order with the code "JOSH33" Earth Runners Shoes - 10% off with code "JOSH10" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Drink LMNT - Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase Free Resources M21 Wellness Guide - Free 3-Week Breathwork Program with Josh Trent Join Wellness + Wisdom Community Limited Edition: Gold Pumpkin Spice from Organifi Save 20% with code "WELLNESSFORCE" on everyone's favorite Fall treat is here!

By the end of this Solocast, you are going to understand what epigenetics are, what gene expression happens through emotional trauma, capital T, lower-case T trauma, and why parents' emotional trauma may change, that science is showing their children's biology, literally, the biology. Think of it as the software, which is the trauma, can actually alter the hardware, which is our brain, our synapses, and so much more. So let's dig in. Here's a story that I can share with you to understand this concept of emotional epigenetics and why I believe it's the missing link in true holistic circular complete medicine today. Epigenetics is a rapidly emerging field of science that has massive implications on how we address our health and the health of our future children. The word literally means on top of the genes, and that pretty much describes the epigenetics role in the body. Look, all of us have DNA. Almost every cell in our body contains all of our DNA and all the genes that make us up. It's the fabric of who you are. This is known as the genome. But look, we're not just made of one cell. Our brains do many different things from those in our heart, for example, who behave differently than the cells in our toenails or our skin. If all of our cells have the same info, why is it that they do such different things? Well, this is where epigenetics comes in. It's basically a layer like an onion of instruction that sits on top of the DNA and gives it signals to turn off and on, and many other things. You can think of it like an orchestra. When you have a conductor with the symphony. Well, if the DNA is the music, the epigenome is the conductor, it waves its wand, it tells the cells what to do and when, and everybody has an orchestra inside. This is what biochemical individuality is. So while the epigenome doesn't necessarily change our DNA, it is responsible for deciding what genes will be expressed in your body's cells. [03:30] "Genetics Load the Gun, Behavior Pulls the Trigger" We had Chris Kresser on the podcast, and I'll link that here in the show notes for the Solocast. He said something so profound. He said, "Genetics load the gun and behavior pulls the trigger," and just let that land for a moment. When we look at epigenetics, it's what sits on top of the DNA, on top of the genes. You are not... and I want to share this from my heart to yours, not a victim of what you were born with, what your parents did, or what your parents acted. So in other words, it's not your fault, but it is your loving responsibility. This is where things can get very challenging because if you listen to our episode with Scott Jackson about being at cause. We know that being at cause does not mean that it's your fault. There's a difference there. In the same way that we have this biological adaptation for epigenetics and epigenetic expression, I've been noodling on this for a while now, just try this on, just bear with me. If you receive certain genomic adaptations from your parents, like type 1 diabetes proclivity towards MTHFR, proclivity towards weight gain, proclivity towards sensitivity to sun, or sensitivity to caffeine based on your haplogroups. These are all things to consider from a physiological standpoint. But what about emotionally, what about emotionally, is it possible? Today, I'm going to make a case that it absolutely is. Is it possible that emotional epigenetics are the missing link in what is actually being manifested on a physical level? Here's why I believe this. Not only is the biological adaptation that we go through in life, a combination of our genes and our epigenetics, but also the stress that we incur both in-utero, and also, if you look at the work of Mark Wolynn, I'll link this, we've had him on the podcast twice. He wrote It Didn't Start With You. He's the founder of the Family Constellations, where they talk about past life trauma. So the trauma that happens, capital T, which is like physical sexual abuse, terrible things, lower case T, which is neglect, an unsupportive parent, an avoidant parent, an anxious parent. All of these things stack up. Now they're emotional trauma from parents, from in utero, from past life, maybe even from other dimensions. I mean, look, we're all figuring this out as we go along. We all know that emotional trauma can actually change our biology. [06:12] Gene Expressions for Generations Studies show that suffering triggers changes in gene expression that last for generations. This is a study I came across that was fascinating. In Zurich, Switzerland, the children living in SOS Children's Village orphanages in Pakistan had a very rough start to life. Many lost their fathers, which in conservative Pakistani society can effectively mean losing their mothers too. Now, these widows often struggle to find enough work to support their families and may have to give up their children. That's one example. University of Zurich physician and neuroscientist Ali Jawad says that despite the support that these children received, they experience symptoms similar to PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder, including anxiety and depression. Now, this neuroscientist wondered about a potential hidden consequence of these children's experiences. He set up a study with the orphanages to probe the disturbing possibility that the emotional trauma of separation from their parents also triggers subtle biological alterations changes so lasting that the children might even pass them off to their own offspring. If you think about this in utero perspective, your grandmother was born with your mother inside of her, and your mother created you. So if that's the case, and we know now that epigenetic transfer happens on a biological level, then why wouldn't it happen on a psychosomatic level? I think it's so fascinating that people laugh at the idea that behaviors can be contagious. But we know from so many of the people we've had on the podcast that emotional contagion is utterly real. It is palpable. In other words, you're not just the sum of the five people you hang out with the most, you're the sum of all the behaviors of the people you choose to be around. Now, that idea would've been laughed at 15 years ago. But today, the hypothesis that a child's experience and adults' experience might actually alter the cells in behavior of their children that they bring into the world and the grandchildren that come into the world, it's now been accepted across the board. [08:20] NLP: Neuro Linguistic Programming Look, in animals exposure to stress, cold or high-fat diets definitely triggers metabolic changes in later generations. There are some small studies that have been done on humans exposed to very traumatic conditions. Among them, the children of the Holocaust survivors point to biological and health changes in their children. So look, the implications of this are profound. If our experiences can have consequences that reverberate to our children, then to our children's children. This is a huge argument against everything from smoking to poor diet to toxic mentality. That's really the big one, toxic mentality. People that say things in families like, "Oh, that's just who we are. Oh, you're a Smith. Smiths are alcoholics." I mean, what an absolutely disempowering thing. And by the way, if you look at NLP and the barrier between the conscious and unconscious mind, when you are brought into the world zero through seven, at your seventh year, your brain has a lot of neuroplasticity and essentially your hemispheres have been connected for so long that you are so suggestible when you come into the world and you're so suggestible because all the programming in your brain, it actually unwires as you get older. It creates space for new programs. So how sad is it? Honestly, I'm like my hands on my heart right now. How sad is it that this emotional trauma that is very distinct from physical stress can be passed on to generations? Well, this is what was proven in this study. Let's dig in. In the study to explore how trauma affected generations of mice. Researchers stressed the mother mice, their little pups then exhibited both molecular and behavioral changes, such as taking more risks on an elevated maze. This is the key. These changes, they persisted for up to five generations, five generations. That's 3 to 500 years, you all. So the mother separated from the pups, and traumatized, the mother would ignore the offspring. The three-month-old male offspring made it with traumatized females. The offspring showed epigenetic and behavioral changes... this is the key, without having experienced the trauma, and that breeding carried out for six generations. I mean, look, if you're a scientific person, this study should be all that you need to know about emotional epigenetics. Why the trauma that we experience before we're even born while we're in utero and also in the first seven years of our lives and more, it's almost like we're all connected. It's almost like everything is all connected. [11:04] Taking Emotional Inventory So here's the case that I'm making to you today, and I'm curious how you feel about this. If you can take a true emotional inventory of all the things that have happened for you in this lifetime that your soul chose to experience in quite a perfection, by the way, otherwise it wouldn't be experienced. Can you, number one, be at cause for the things that have happened for you in life? I'm not saying it's your fault. I know that terrible things happen, and I know that right now, maybe it's palpable for you. Maybe in your arms or your body and your stomach and your heart, maybe you feel like, "Fuck you, Josh. What are you even talking about? You think that me being raped, that me being abused, that me being hurt, that me being neglected, you think it's my fault?" No, that's not what I'm saying, my friend. What I'm saying is it's not your fault. It's not your fault. I think of that scene in Good Will Hunting, when Robin Williams was hugging his patient, Goodwill Hunting, and he said, it's not your fault over and over and over again, and finally Will just broke down crying. It's one of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen in a movie. You have to watch Goodwill Hunting. But it points to exactly what I'm talking about, because what I'm talking about is it is not your fault, but it is your responsibility. You can either be at effect or you can be at cause. So how do we unpack this in a way that truly provides a solution? Well, here we go. Number one, you must take an emotional inventory. I've talked about this in the Solocast on hypervigilance. You can go through that entire process because I want to move forward here with us today. Go to joshtrent.com/490. That's going to be the starting point for this emotional inventory process, which by the way, you know that if you experience hypervigilance, where if you ever feel like you're a junkyard dog and everything's fine. So why are you so stressed out and what's going on? This is where you start. You start with the emotional inventory, and I can speak from my own personal experience. To this day, at 42 years old, I still have an awareness of my own hypervigilance, the things that trigger me. I'll say that my hypervigilance is an expression of my epigenetics, and really the missing link for me to dive deep into and for all of us to dive deep into, because as above, so below, so below, as above. "You cannot have the tree reach its branches to heaven unless its roots touch hell," Carl Young. So what I'm saying here is if the missing link or the bridge between what appears for us, what manifests physically, cancer disease, rheumatoid arthritis, CHD, weight gain, liver issues, all these things, if they are a manifestation, and Chinese and Western medicine, show us that they are... If what we experience physically is a manifestation of what we are experiencing emotionally, energy in motion, then today, I know I've planted a seed in your garden that allows you to see the truth around if epigenetics express themselves physically because of what the cells were told by our parents' grandparents in utero and outside dimensions, then you know that after this podcast, you can see that the emotional energy that we experience as human beings, emotionally, these things get transferred too. [14:28] Healing Addiction I think this is really something that is worth a deeper look on your own. It's going to be in the book that I write next year. It's going to be in many of the upcoming podcasts that we do. Emotional epigenetics, I believe is the missing link in holistic medicine. In holistic medicine, there is nutrition, breathing, water, thoughts, beliefs. Many of the ways that Paul Chek, Dr. Michael Ruscio, a lot of the people that we've had on the show who are experts in their field, they all approach these basic fundamental human behaviors. But what I love about Paul's work and what I love about my own work, too, is understanding what creates energy and motion. What I believe creates energy and motion and is the true missing link here is, the curiosity about discovering why energy is dysregulated, why energy is dysregulated. This is a part of this podcast that I really want you to feel before we say goodbye, and this is what you can take to the bank. If you are experiencing energy and you try to suppress or resist that energy, a part of your heart and soul knows that it always comes out sideways. In other words, why do alcoholics, drug addicts, porn addicts, shopping addicts, work addicts, why is addiction of any kind even a thing in anyone's life? It's because the opposite of addiction is connection. If you are connected to the energy that you're experiencing in your body, and you are courageously able to open up to that energy, to learn from that energy, to learn from the pain teacher, and to learn from the things that you are experiencing in a perfect way, otherwise they wouldn't be happening, then guess what? The more you lean into your emotional experience, the greater health, the greater wellness you will have, you will be. Period, end of story, full stop, new paragraph. This is it. Now, obviously, that is a sensitive issue because the moment that a human being starts to dig into their emotional inventory, starts to actually feel what they feel, starts to actually understand what the pain teacher, what these emotions are trying to tell them, well, then hypervigilance, the subconscious strategy that slowly kills us, this is what we talked about in the podcast, joshtrent.com/490. In that podcast, I go into depth about what hypervigilance is trying to tell us, but really what hypervigilance is, it's epigenetic expression of trauma; of trauma from an emotional standpoint that is trying to be let go of. It's always been said in many circles, what's coming is going, but what's coming that's blocked, never goes. So if that's the truth and there's something in your life, my life, all of our lives that is freaking asking for permission, it's asking for permission to be let go of, this is the ultimate question today, and this is what you can take and put in the bank as well. Can I cultivate the courage to take the emotional inventory, to feel the feelings I'm feeling, and to be honest with the challenge of my life? Can I be honest with the challenge of my life? Look, there's no shame if the answer to some of those questions was no. There was a major part of my life that was ruled by pornography for so long, and I think that these synapses that are wired, they do float away. They do uncouple. But in full transparency, I still have random thoughts of porn throughout the day. Do I act on them? No, I don't act on them because they don't hold the charge anymore because I've had the deeper work and the commitment to this deeper work be an everyday part of my life. Now, if you ask my partner, Carrie Michelle, she might be like, "God, can we just have one day where we're not working on ourselves?" My answer is like, "No, we can't," because every day is an opportunity. Every day is an opportunity to work on thyself, and that is my wish for you today.
