The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight. Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on.

How committed are you to pushing the envelope so far that you're in this massive growth all the time? At what point do you pull back and do some integration and allow yourself to be joyous and fulfilled? Many people say "there's always more work to be done." But you can take a break and just be happy for a while." - Vanessa Lambert   Karmic Debt "Your karmas are your debts that you have to pay off. Kundalini is a path to liberation. It clears karmic imprints from your aura and your human experience so that you don't have to incarnate 4 million times more to pay off every single debt that you brought to any of your lifetimes."- Vanessa Lambert   Cultivate A Meaningful Relationship With Yourself First "If you don't have a deep relationship with yourself, it's really hard to have a deep and meaningful relationship with anyone else. We're pack animals. We want to be in connection with people. It's vital to the very fabric of our being. Having the ability to have a relationship with yourself and cultivate relationships in your life that are meaningful is one of the most important keys to happiness and joy."- Vanessa Lambert   Links From Today's Show  Starseed Collective Jim Carrey On "Awakening" Adam Lambert Yogi Bhajan 280 Vanessa Lambert: How To Find Your Authentic Self Brené Brown Dr. Masutu Emoto Dani Dwyer Paul Chek 503 Paul Levy | Wetiko: Break Free From Collective Mass Psychosis 481 Scott Jackson | Rewire Yourself: How To Create A Life You Love With Freedom From Subconscious Sabotage Plunge - use the code "WELLNESSFORCE" for $150 off Invincible Living: The Power of Yoga, The Energy of Breath, and Other Tools for a Radiant Life by Guru Jagat Bee-Fest Poranguí DJ Drez 406 Connor Beaton | Your Pain Has Its Own Intelligence: Shadow Work, Fatherhood & Ending The War of Self 512 Alison Armstrong: Unconscious Emasculation, What Women Don’t Understand About Men + How To Get The Love You Want Shop the Wellness Force Media Store breathwork.io HIGHER DOSE INFRARED MAT, RED LIGHT FACE MASK, SAUNA BLANKET - Get 15% off with the code “JOSH15“ Cured Nutrition CBD - Save 20% with the CODE "WELLNESSFORCE" PLUNGE – Save $150 with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" LiftMode - Save 10% with the code "JOSH10" Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' HVMN - Get 20% off your Ketone IQ order with the code "JOSH" MitoZen – Save 10% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' NOOTOPIA - Save 10% with the code "JOSH10" ActivationProducts – Save 20% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” NEUVANA - Save 15% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - Save $25 on your order with the code "JOSH25" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ CHILISLEEP - Save 25% on Josh's favorite ChiliSleep products with the code "JOSH" ION - Save 15% off sitewide with the code ‘JOSH1KS' TOUPS - Save 15% with the code "JOSH" Feel Free from Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40′ Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase BREATHE - Save 20% by using the code “PODCAST20” Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' MY GREEN MATTRESS - Save up to $125 on your order with the code "JOSH" NEUROHACKER - Save 15% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATER - Save 33% on your first order with the code "JOSH33" M21 Wellness Guide Wellness + Wisdom Community Leave Wellness + Wisdom a review on Apple Podcasts Vanessa Lambert Akashic Records Certification Bee-Fest Instagram TikTok   About Vanessa Lambert Vanessa is the founder and CEO of Starseed Collective, a company whose mission is to support medicine women, metaphysical mavens, and conscious creators on their journey to up-leveling their spiritual intelligence and becoming a powerful contribution to the planet.

Sun therapy is all about near-infrared. You want to be happy in the winter? What you're missing is not so much ultraviolet light as it is the 70% of the sun experientially which is near-infrared. Ultraviolet light is a double-edged sword; it's doing a lot of good for the body such as helping Vitamin D production but it also ionizes radiation which rips apart your DNA. So many people have claimed to have brought balance and resolved their S.A.D.s with Sauna Space's near-infrared light therapy. Beyond it being a fire light and a targeted therapy light. near-infrared is a happy light. - Brian Richards Wellness + Wisdom Episode 525 Brian Richards, the founder of SaunaSpace, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom podcast to talk about the benefits of sauna and infrared light therapy, the difference between far-infrared and near-infrared red light, how blue light negatively impacts our health, and how to use light therapy for seasonal affective disorder. What if healing physical and mental health was easy and accessible for everyone from the comfort of their home? By the end of this episode, you will have a full understanding of the benefits of infrared light therapy, why you should avoid blue light first thing in the morning, and why you should include sauna in your wellness routine. SaunaSpace Save 10% Off Your Order With "JOSH10" ThermaLight® technology combines the finest tungsten filaments, mouth-blown red-stained glass, and years of engineering to produce a full-spectrum infrared light that mimics the best of nature. Benefits: Compact and portable, hypoallergenic, tool-free assembly, wheelchair accessible, machine-washable cover, minimalist design, ZERO EMFs. All saunas have the same goal: to raise your core body temperature enough to jump-start its natural healing processes. Traditional saunas use steam, fire, or electric heaters to make the air in the sauna hot, which eventually heats up your body from the outside in. Infrared saunas tap into the science of light to help you sweat faster and more comfortably. Why Near-Infrared Saunas? Unlike the traditional methods, near-infrared (NIR) light works with your body’s biology to create radiant heat—from the inside out. By using near infrared’s shorter wavelengths in a way that mimics natural sunlight, the light penetrates deeply to raise your core temperature faster. Near-infrared saunas give you: Ultrafast heat therapy Comfortable air temperatures Built-in light therapy Faster sauna sessions Save 10% Off Your Order With "JOSH10"   Listen To Episode 525 As Brian Richards Uncovers: [1:30] Discovering The Benefits Of Sauna And Light Therapy SaunaSpace - use the code "JOSH10" for 10% off Brain, heart, gut = mind, consciousness, will.

That's not designed to happen. What does the sunrise look like? It's red and orange. That's because in the beginning there's only near-infrared and red. You can actually stare at the sun on a flat horizon for a couple of minutes without any risk. In the first few minutes, there is no blue or ultra-violet, it's all read. So we get that in the beginning and the rest of our day is good." - Brian Richards   Put Yourself First "If you really want to help others, you need to help yourself and continue to put yourself first. You want to be available to help the other person in a meaningful way." - Brian Richards   Sauna For Better Health "If you use sauna one day a week, your risk of dying of all things goes down by 30% to 40%. If you use sauna three times a week, your risk goes down another 30% or 40%. The more you do sauna, the better." - Brian Richards   Links From Today's Show  SaunaSpace - use the code "JOSH10" for 10% off Dr. John Harvey Kellogg Light Therapeutics by John Harvey Kellog Planck's Law 361 Luke Storey: Relationships, Consciousness, & Coming Home To Yourself LeelaQ - use the code “JOSH10” for 10% off Somavedic - use the code "WELLNESSFORCE" for 10% off MitOzen - use the code "WELLNESSFORCE" for 10% off Jordan Peterson Dr. Rhonda Patrick Plunge - use the code "WELLNESSFORCE" for $150 off The Unbearable Lightness Of Being by Milan Kundera Heracleides Ponticus Shop the Wellness Force Media Store breathwork.io Save 10% on LiftMode Products with the code "JOSH10" Cured Nutrition CBD - Save 20% with the CODE "WELLNESSFORCE" PLUNGE – Save $150 with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" HIGHER DOSE INFRARED MAT, RED LIGHT FACE MASK, SAUNA BLANKET - Get 15% off with the code “JOSH15“ Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' HVMN - Get 20% off your Ketone IQ order with the code "JOSH" MitoZen – Save 10% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' NOOTOPIA - Save 10% with the code "JOSH10" Activation Products – Save 20% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” NEUVANA - Save 15% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - Save $25 on your order with the code "JOSH25" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ CHILISLEEP - Save 25% on Josh's favorite ChiliSleep products with the code "JOSH" ION - Save 15% off sitewide with the code ‘JOSH1KS' TOUPS - Save 15% with the code "JOSH" Feel Free from Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40′ Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase BREATHE - Save 20% by using the code “PODCAST20” Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' MY GREEN MATTRESS - Save up to $125 on your order with the code "JOSH" NEUROHACKER - Save 15% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATER - Save 33% on your first order with the code "JOSH33" M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Leave Wellness + Wisdom a review on Apple Podcasts Brian Richards Instagram Facebook YouTube Twitter About Brian Richards Brian Richards is a nationally known expert in sauna therapy, light science, EMF science.

It can be tough to figure out how to get out of the cycle of debt and poor financial decision-making.   But there is hope: become financially educated and sovereign, so you can exit the matrix of financial slavery from a system that has existed for hundreds of years to monetize every aspect of your life.   Know that we have all signed up to be here at this time on earth so part of the learning curve of this lifetime is to figure out finances. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here or money wouldn't exist.   Quite a philosophical and even esoteric statement, that I just made, however, if you really search within your heart and soul, you can feel that it's true.   The truth is that money is whatever you want it to be it could be a source of pain or a source of pleasure, but at the end of the day based on universal laws, money is an energetic reward for the value that you provide to others.   It's what others are willing to pay you for, it's what the universe is willing to give to you - depending on three key factors:   What do you know, think and feel you're worth? How do you enthusiastically and with love and persuasiveness articulate that worthiness while being of service to others? What value of (goods or services) do you provide in the marketplace that is unique and important enough for others to pay you for?   By following some simple steps and making some positive changes in your life, you can start to heal your finances once and for all.   Keep reading to learn more...   1. Acknowledge your feelings - it's okay to feel stressed and depressed about your finances 2. Talk to someone who can help - a financial planner, therapist, or even a friend 3. Make a plan - figure out where your money is going and what you can cut back on 4. Take action - make small changes in your spending habits that will make a big difference over time 5. Be patient - healing your finances takes time, but it is possible to get back on track 6. Reward yourself - once you've made progress, treat yourself to something special   Acknowledge your feelings - it's okay to feel stressed and depressed about your finances Feeling stressed and depressed about your finances can be a normal reaction to an overwhelming situation.   If you’re feeling this way, it’s important to take some time to acknowledge those feelings.   Reflect on what might be the cause of your stress and find ways to address it such as implementing more discipline into your financial habits or shifting your mindset about money.   Maybe it’s coming up with a plan for living within or below your means or having conversations with loved ones who are able to provide guidance—whatever it may be, taking these steps can help ease the burden of financial worry and put you back on track toward healing your finances for good.   Talk to someone who can help - a financial planner, therapist, or even a smart friend! Talking to someone who can help is a key step to peace and healing when it comes to finances. We all need mentors and guides, especially when it comes to something as daunting as our bank accounts.   Finding the right person - whether it be a financial planner, therapist, or friend - can help you release stress and create a plan of action.   This can be hugely beneficial in giving you the peace of mind and security you are searching for in your finances.   So make sure you reach out for help; it is an invaluable first step in your healing process.   Make a plan - figure out where your money is leaking: what you can cut back on? The key to financial freedom is having a strategy and thoughtfully following through.   You can start by figuring out where your money is going, and which places you can cut back on.   Once you have done that, then you can begin optimizing the places where you do spend, freeing up more of your resources in order to build wealth; don't let the stress of your finances weigh you down!   A plan takes time and effort to create and maintain, but it will be a worthwhile investment in reaching a state of financial success.   Take action - make small changes in your spending habits that will make a big difference over time Taking inspired action is one of the best ways to build a healthier relationship with money, and start taking control of your finances.   Making small changes in your spending habits can add up over time, and make a big difference in your overall financial health.   Whether it's committing to tracking your expenses each week, sticking to a budget that works for you, or making adjustments to improve your financial goals—any effort toward putting yourself in charge of your money will pay off.   Start now by taking inspired action towards reaching your goals and be on the path towards healing your finances for good!   Be patient - healing your finances takes time, but it is possible to get back on track Healing your finances is no simple task, and it doesn't happen overnight. Finding relief from stress and depression related to money matters can be a slow process, but one that is worth taking your time with.   To get back on track, generosity is key; start with small acts of generosity like forgiving debt you feel others owe you.   With generosity in mind, don't forget about discipline — make sure you're creating a financial plan for how to keep your money safe and grow it over time.   And with patience, generosity, and discipline working together, it's possible to truly heal your finances for good.   Make A Plan: Money + Mental Health Stress and depression related to money matters can take a serious toll on your mental health.   If you're feeling overwhelmed by financial worries, it's important to remember that you're not alone—and that there are steps you can take to start healing your finances and finding relief.   The first step to getting your finances back on track is making a plan. This will help you figure out where your money is going and what adjustments need to be made in order to reach your financial goals.   To start, sit down with a pen and paper (or an app like Mint) and write out all of your expenses.   This includes necessary costs like rent/mortgage, food, utilities, etc., as well as less obvious ones like subscriptions or monthly memberships.   Actually, I just use a Google spreadsheet where I have all money coming in and all money going out, this is otherwise known as a profit and loss sheet or P&L. I track all my expenses right down to the penny using the Mint app, which is huge when it comes to tax time because I can literally run reports on where all of my money goes...   Once you have a big-picture view of where your money is going, then you can begin the hard work of trimming those expenses down to something that you can manage each month.   It's also important to make sure that any debt management plans are tailored specifically for your needs and resources—and that they prioritize what's most important first.   For example, if credit card debt has been weighing heavily on your mind, consider reaching out to a debt consolidation specialist who can help negotiate lower interest rates on those cards so that more of each payment goes towards the balance itself rather than just accruing interest charges.   Lowering the amount of interest being charged each month means more of your payment will go towards reducing the principal balance—which in turn will help get more quickly back on track financially.   NEXT: Take Action While simply understanding where your money is going may feel empowering at first, it won't do much good unless you actually start putting into practice the changes needed for improvement.   Start small: Make a commitment to tracking all of your weekly expenses or sticking with a budget that works for you; cut out unnecessary services such as magazine subscriptions; or adjust spending habits when possible so that more resources are available for savings and investments. Any effort towards taking control of the situation will reward in the long run!   The most powerful thing I've ever seen in my own life, and in the lives of almost all people I know who have struggled with money is to take an honest look at where you are wasting money in exchange for immediate gratification.   If you're spending money on alcohol and crappy food and going places that you don't even like just because you can't deal with the fact that your life is uncomfortable then it's time to take an emotional inventory.   A powerful step for you to begin would be to head over to joshtrent.com/513 where I talk about the wellness pentagon, and the emotional inventory process so you can get clear on where your focus and attention are leaking out dollar bills from your wallet.   Seriously go there right now. It is a perfect bookmark for you to do right after this.   Be Patient Finally, it's important to remain patient and generous with yourself during this process; Healing finances takes time—no matter how small or big the steps required may be.   Generosity is key here: start with forgiving any debt owed by yourself or others; follow through with discipline by creating a financial plan for keeping safe what’s yours and growing it over time; reward yourself responsibly when progress has been made - celebrate success but practice moderation when it coming rewarding yourself too much!   Reward yourself - once you've made progress, treat yourself to something special Achieving financial freedom can be an incredibly rewarding process - no matter how small the steps! As you experience achievement and progress, don't forget to reward yourself for all the hard work and discipline it takes to turn your finances around.   Whether it is a new outfit or dinner out, giving yourself something special will encourage you to continue on your journey while celebrating the achievement of your successes.   Be sure to reward yourself responsibly and not take on more debt in order to do so: practice moderation, self-awareness, and planning to ensure that you make lasting changes for a brighter financial future.   Ultimately, Stressed About Money? The Answers Are In Your Heart Tips to cope with debt and depression can lead way towards healing both psychologically and financially speaking - just be sure to remember to be patient and generous while doing so!   With dedication comes progress - make sure to keep up with tracking expenses & setting realistic goals - then stick with them.   Remember: celebrate successes along the way & reward yourself responsibly every once in a while.   Every single time you allow yourself to ruminate and stress about money coming in takes you away from the inspired action place of doing and being so valuable to the marketplace, and to the people around you that you actually unconsciously sever the connection between money being given to you by the universe.   When I say the universe, I don't just mean some pie in the sky idea that you're going to click your heels together three times and chant that "there's no place like home."   What I'm talking about is not a fairytale. I'm talking about the life that you and I signed up for to live well inside of which requires every aspect of the five sides of the wellness pentagon, which I teach: mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial.   What I mean is that you will be such an energetic match by the service in your heart, and the passion in your soul, that people could literally not be able to not pay you because they want what you have or they want what you have to give.   This has been the hardest learning curve for me in life, and that is my bank account is a crystal clear reflection of my beliefs about myself.   And again, not just what other people are willing to pay you for what you give to them, it's what the universe is willing to give to you - depending on the 3 key factors I mentioned: What do you know, think and feel you're worth? How do you enthusiastically and with love and persuasiveness articulate that worthiness while being of service to others? What value of (goods or services) do you provide in the marketplace that is unique and important enough for others to pay you for?   This holistic approach helps build a healthier relationship with money over time + truly get back on track sooner rather than later...   After reading this... Where do you feel is the perfect starting point for you to achieve peace around your money and finances?   You're not alone in feeling stressed and depressed about your finances - but there is hope.   By reaching out for help, making a plan, and taking action, you can start to heal your finances and put yourself back on track.   Be patient with yourself and celebrate your successes along the way - healing takes time, but it is possible.   So where will you start?   Listen to this Wellness + Wisdom podcast with Josh Trent and Robert Breedlove, about the history of money, and how you can create better financial success and sovereignty for yourself, utilizing digital currency and practical strategic financial steps.   Links From Today's Show  Intuit Mint joshtrent.com/513 Shop the Wellness Force Store breathwork.io Save 20% on LiftMode Products until February 13, 2023 with the code "JOSH20" Cured Nutrition - Save 20% with the CODE "WELLNESSFORCE" PLUNGE – Save $150 with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" HIGHERDOSE INFRARED MAT - Get 15% off with the code “JOSH15“ Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' HVMN - Get 20% off your Ketone IQ order with the code "JOSH" MitoZen – Save 10% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' NOOTOPIA - Save 10% with the code "JOSH10" Activation Products – Save 20% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” NEUVANA - Save 15% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - Save $25 on your order with the code "JOSH25" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ CHILISLEEP - Save 25% on Josh's favorite ChiliSleep products with the code "JOSH" ION - Save 15% off sitewide with the code ‘JOSH1KS' TOUPS - Save 15% with the code "JOSH" Feel Free from Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40′ Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase BREATHE - Save 20% by using the code “PODCAST20” Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' MY GREEN MATTRESS - Save up to $125 on your order with the code "JOSH" NEUROHACKER - Save 15% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATER - Save 33% on your first order with the code "JOSH33" M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Leave Wellness + Wisdom a review on Apple Podcasts   Shop the BEST Organic Snacks at PaleoValley   Save 15% with the code 'JOSH'   PaleoValley's 100% Grass-Fed Beef Sticks Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are the only beef sticks in the USA made from 100% grass fed/grass finished beef and organic spices that are naturally fermented. Their 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are unlike anything else on the market. In fact, they were recently voted in Paleo Magazine as one of the top snacks of the year. The reason is that they are committed to making the highest quality, clean products that are free from problematic ingredients. Their beef comes from 100% grass fed cows raised entirely on natural grass pastures by family farmers right here in the USA. As a result they are healthy and happy.   PaleoValley's Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks Paleovalley Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks were created to make healthy snacking easier. Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight. Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on.   Death & Rebirth: Why I'm Saying Goodbye to Wellness Force...

But what exactly is emotional contagion? How does it manifest itself in our behavior, relationships, and everyday life?   Let's explore emotional contagion from a seduction perspective as well as look at its effects on unhealthy and healthy empathy as well as the biology of belief.   What is Emotional Contagion? First off, let’s define emotional contagion in simple terms:   It’s when we catch or “absorb” another person's emotions just by being around them or interacting with them.   We don't actually "feel" their embodied emotions like they do but instead, we become influenced by their emotional state so that our own behaviors start to adapt to fit theirs.   This type of influence is sometimes referred to as "social proof."   Social Proof is a psychological phenomenon where a person mirrors the behaviors of others in an attempt to connect and fit in. In essence, it’s the notion that, since others are doing it, I should be doing it, too.   When one person experiences an emotion such as fear or joy, those feelings spread quickly throughout the group in which they are present. It is an incredibly powerful phenomenon that has a deep impact on our behavior, relationships, and everyday life.   Where Does Empathy Come In? So, empathy is an emotional capacity that allows us to understand and share the feelings of others.   It is a powerful ability that can be used for good or ill, and it has been studied extensively by psychologists in both its positive and negative forms.   Empathy enables us to more deeply connect with people, helping us form stronger relationships and build emotional bonds with those around us.   By understanding empathy better, we can use it to create a healthier environment for all.   Empathy without borders however is a prime candidate for emotional contagion; it's where people can accidentally label themselves as an HSP (highly sensitive person) when really, they just have poor emotional awareness and boundaries against emotional contagion.   The Science of Seduction Ok, let's dive into seduction - one way to think about emotional contagion is through the lens of seduction.   The science of seduction is an intriguing and complex subject that has been studied extensively by psychologists in both its positive and negative forms.   It involves understanding emotional contagion, emotional intelligence, and the power of emotions to influence relationships.   By understanding the science of seduction on a deeper level, we can use it to create a healthier environment for ourselves and our loved ones and also dodge bad relationship bullets!   Seduction, it's not always a bad thing. Sometimes it can be really good but it is a complex and often misunderstood art.   Understanding healthy seduction can help us create healthier environments for ourselves and our loved ones by enabling us to better connect with authentic people and form trustworthy long-lasting emotional bonds.   Emotional contagion is an important part of the science of seduction – it’s when we catch or “absorb” another person's lustful or sexual projections onto us - just by being around them or interacting with them.   Seduction can be voluntary or involuntary, just like our breath.   Many people enjoy consciously being seduced while, unfortunately, many people who have unhealed wounds, attract unconscious, seduction.   Emotional intelligence really helps us here - it helps us understand how our own feelings and boundaries affect those around us so that we can use this knowledge to build stronger relationships with ourselves and others.   How do you know if you're being seduced? Seduction can be a powerful tool for emotional connection and relationship building, but it can also be used to manipulate and control people.   Dark seduction techniques involve emotional manipulation, coercion, and even emotional abuse in order to get what the perpetrator wants from their target.   Protecting yourself from dark seduction requires you to recognize the signs of emotional manipulation, develop healthy boundaries and maintain emotional self-awareness.   Emotional Power & Manipulation Recognizing the signs of emotional manipulation is key when it comes to protecting yourself from dark seduction.   This could include someone attempting to guilt trip or shame you into doing something they want or trying to make you feel bad about your choices or decisions.   It’s important to trust your instincts if something doesn’t feel right – don’t let anyone pressure you into doing anything that makes you uncomfortable or unsafe.   Developing healthy boundaries is another way of protecting yourself against dark seduction tactics. Healthy boundaries are necessary for any kind of relationship – romantic, platonic or otherwise – as they help define how we expect others to treat us without allowing them too much control over our lives.   Setting limits on other people's behavior helps ensure that we remain in control of ourselves so that no one can take advantage of us.   Finally, understanding the power of emotions to influence relationships allows us to effectively manage difficult situations while still maintaining meaningful connections with our peers.   With these tools at hand, we can use seduction not only for romantic purposes but also for creating healthier environments where everyone benefits from strong emotional bonds and understanding communication between parties.   Gretchen Rubin's model of The Four Tendencies is an incredibly powerful concept that has been used in psychology, relationships, and everyday life.   It suggests that our emotional states are contagious, meaning that we can influence the emotional state of those around us simply by being present.   This idea has far-reaching implications for understanding how our emotions affect others and for improving empathy and emotional intelligence.   We’ve all experienced emotional contagion at one time or another – when we feel the emotions of those around us without realizing it.   Again as we've already discussed, emotional contagion occurs when we catch or “absorb” the emotional state of someone else just by being around them or interacting with them.   Then, in steps boundaries.   Creating Emotional Boundaries Creating emotional boundaries is an important part of healthy relationships, but it can be difficult to know how to set them.   The Gottman approach to emotional boundary setting is a powerful tool that can help couples create emotional safety in their relationship and foster greater connection.   This approach focuses on understanding each other’s emotional needs, communicating clearly and effectively, taking responsibility for one's own feelings and emotions, and respecting each other’s differences.   By using the Gottman approach to emotional boundary setting, couples can cultivate greater trust, intimacy, and understanding in their relationship.   The Power of Healthy Empathy Empathy is a powerful emotional capacity that allows us to understand and share the feelings of others, but it can also be used for harm.   It is important to understand when empathy has become unhealthy so we can protect our emotional wellbeing and the emotional safety of those around us.   Let's discover how to identify when empathy has gone too far and some strategies for creating emotional boundaries in relationships.   A prime example of when empathy goes too far is when a 3-year-old boy has been infected by the mind virus of gender dysphoria, either by scrolling on Instagram or seeing it on YouTube from the demonic energies that troll for innocence there.   Instead of being a loving parent and letting the boy simply go through a process of maturation into adolescence and adulthood with loving guidance and firm boundaries around the biology of that child, unfortunately, an unhealthy, distorted version of empathy would allow that child to actually begin to think that they are the opposite gender of how they were born, which then would lead to even more serious mental health ramifications down the road which we see playing out in the world at large right now.   So in other words, when empathy goes too far a helping hand actually harms someone else or yourself which in this case with gender dysphoria, you can see how this is absolutely tragic.   A great podcast to listen to about this is the episode we did with JP Sears you can find that at JoshTrent.com/463   Having empathy is a powerful emotional capacity that allows us to understand and share the feelings of others.   It can be used for good or evil, so it's important to learn how to have a healthy version of empathy in order to build strong relationships with those around us and create emotional safety.   But when empathy has gone too far? Look no further than how emotional contagion affects our behavior, relationships, and everyday life by understanding the biology of belief.   The Biology of Belief The concept of the Biology of Belief is based on the idea that our beliefs about ourselves and the world around us have a powerful effect on our emotional and physical health.   It suggests that our beliefs shape our biology by literally changing how our cells and genes are expressed. The power of this concept lies in its potential to improve mental and emotional wellbeing as well as physical health. Our beliefs act like scripts that shape our behavior, emotional states, and the way we experience life.   When it comes to emotional contagion, we can use these scripts to create positive emotional states in ourselves and in those around us. Positive emotions lead to increased empathy, emotional intelligence, and emotional safety within relationships.   The Biology of Belief suggests that when we change or release old belief patterns, we can create new patterns of behavior which ultimately result in improved emotional and physical health.   Our thoughts contain energy which has an influence on both our outer environment and on the inner workings of our body’s cells.   Recent scientific studies show that when we make conscious efforts to think positively about ourselves, others, or situations in general – rather than focusing on the negative – we can actually increase levels of dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins (the “happy hormones”) in the brain which help reduce stress levels, improve moods, and promote overall wellbeing.   This is also widely known as the science of how thoughts become things otherwise known as psychoneuroimmunology.   Biology + Neurochemicals When it comes to emotional contagion, this means that if one person projects positive emotions such as joy or peace onto another person, they could be influencing their neurochemistry by helping them feel relaxed or content.   Similarly, if someone projects fearful emotions onto another person they could be creating a more anxious neurochemical state in that person by causing them to feel fear or worry even if there is no immediate danger present.   In addition to influencing neurochemistry through emotional contagion, the Biology of Belief also suggests that we can use visualization techniques such as meditation or guided imagery to mentally create positive outcomes for ourselves or those around us by sending out waves of energy into the universe which create opportunities for healing effects both at a physical level and an emotional level.   This practice helps us tap into greater self-awareness so we can identify unhelpful thought patterns which may need releasing as well as helpful thought patterns that need reinforcing – ultimately leading to improved mental and emotional wellbeing.   Ultimately, understanding how beliefs shape our biology through emotional contagion helps us become more aware of how quickly emotions can spread from one person to another so we can take steps towards cultivating healthier connections with those around us for greater mental wellness.   With this knowledge, we are empowered with the ability to make conscious decisions about how best to nourish ourselves emotionally so we can live fuller lives with more meaningful connections with those who matter most!   Bruce Lipton’s “Biology of Belief” Bruce Lipton’s “Biology of Belief” is a revolutionary scientific theory that explores the connection between our beliefs, emotional states, and physical health.   By exploring this connection, Lipton has created an alternative model for understanding the power of our mindset that profoundly impacts not only our emotional wellbeing but also how our cells and genes are expressed.   The Biology of Belief suggests that our thoughts and emotions create energy which is then broadcasted into the world and also plays an essential role in shaping how our cells and genes are expressed.   This means that when we think positively about ourselves or certain situations, we can literally change the expression of our cells at a molecular level.   To put it simply: If we believe something to be true, it will become true in reality as well because it is given form through our thoughts and emotions.   Better Boundaries With Visualization Techniques Moreover, by using visualization techniques such as meditation or guided imagery along with breathwork, we can use these belief systems to literally create positive outcomes for ourselves or those around us by sending out waves of energy into the universe which promote healing on both physical and emotional levels.   This practice helps us to access greater self-awareness so we can identify what unhelpful patterns may need releasing as well as helpful ones that need reinforcing to improve mental wellbeing overall.   Taking it Home: Self Love FTW At the end of the day, all of the aspects we've explored point towards greater self-awareness and greater self-love through the mechanisms or mediums of intuition, healthy, emotional boundaries, and specific practices you can do every single day that will strengthen your spiritual, emotional, and mental connection to the truth.   And not just the objective truth, but the truth that tends to guide all of us in this world, and that is our subjective truth.   Make sure you head over to JoshTrent.com/499 for more resources about emotional epigenetics, and the missing Link in holistic medicine today so you can better yourself.   Links From Today's Show  The Biology Of Belief by Bruce Lipton 177 Dr. Cortney Warren | Honest Liars: The Psychology of Self-Deception 129 The Four Tendencies – Gretchen Rubin Gottman Institute 463 JP Sears | This Is How Media HIJACKS Your Mind: Stop Censoring Yourself & Heal The Tyrant Within 295 Sandra Biskind | Breaking The Code to Unlock Your Higher Self 499 SOLOCAST | Emotional Epigenetics: The Missing Link In Holistic Medicine Today Shop the Wellness Force Store breathwork.io Save 20% on LiftMode Products until February 13, 2023 Cured Nutrition - Save 20% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" PLUNGE – Save $150 with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" HIGHER DOSE INFRARED MAT - Get 15% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE15“ Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' HVMN - Get 20% off your Ketone IQ order with the code "JOSH" MitoZen – Save 10% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' NOOTOPIA - Save 10% with the code "JOSH10" Activation Products – Save 20% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” NEUVANA - Save 15% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - Save $25 on your order with the code "JOSH25" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ CHILISLEEP - Save 25% on Josh's favorite ChiliSleep products with the code "JOSH" ION - Save 15% off sitewide with the code ‘JOSH1KS' TOUPS - Save 15% with the code "JOSH" Feel Free from Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40′ Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase BREATHE - Save 20% by using the code “PODCAST20” Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' MY GREEN MATTRESS - Save up to $125 on your order with the code "JOSH" NEUROHACKER - Save 15% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATER - Save 33% on your first order with the code "JOSH33" M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Leave Wellness + Wisdom a review on Apple Podcasts   Shop the BEST Organic Snacks at PaleoValley   Save 15% with the code 'JOSH'   PaleoValley's 100% Grass-Fed Beef Sticks Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are the only beef sticks in the USA made from 100% grass fed/grass finished beef and organic spices that are naturally fermented. Their 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are unlike anything else on the market. In fact, they were recently voted in Paleo Magazine as one of the top snacks of the year. The reason is that they are committed to making the highest quality, clean products that are free from problematic ingredients. Their beef comes from 100% grass fed cows raised entirely on natural grass pastures by family farmers right here in the USA. As a result they are healthy and happy.   PaleoValley's Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks Paleovalley Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks were created to make healthy snacking easier. Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight. Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on.   Death & Rebirth: Why I'm Saying Goodbye to Wellness Force...
