Wellness + Wisdom Podcast

Turn off the news, really minimize social media, and don't look at your phone for the first hour of the day. Removing these kinds of things are absolutely vital before we have any hope in hell of understanding what we actually think. Whatever I'm getting emotionally charged at; that's a mirror for me in my self-growth and spiritual realization. I ask myself, 'How am I being a tyrant towards myself? Have I already enslaved myself? How am I censoring myself?' to find out what I can learn from my triggers and then the tyrants become our teachers. - JP Sears Are You Stressed Out Lately?

JP's favorite methods to tune in and stop outsourcing his thinking. Why it is vital to get comfortable with the discomfort and open ourselves up to explore and experience the negative emotions, not just the positive ones. How to find the courage to let our critical thinking and heart flow out to the rest of the world through our words and actions. Why doing things that are uncomfortable like ice baths, hard workouts, and more are actually good for us and what is comfortable like eating a bunch of sugar or sitting on the couch all day are bad.

Power Quotes From The Show Gender Dysphoria + The Current War of the Psyche "We can do incredible harm while we're trying to do good. It can be so uncomfortable to see someone else uncomfortable that we want to help them. The method that we're doing to help people with gender dysphoria can be incredibly hurtful on them and that is very selfish of us to inflict hurt with our helping hand because we don't have the courage to experience our own discomfort." - JP Sears How Human Connection Keeps Us in Alignment "Human connection - we've been told it's the deadliest thing for us but I think it's the most enlivening thing for us. It reminds us who we really are and we need it. Part of that human connection is understanding, 'What do I actually think?' - Not just what your brain is thinking and the thoughts that are in there but what you actually think and what your hear wants. The more we can let our words and actions be congruent with what our thoughts are and what our heart's guidance is, the more peace and purpose we will feel. When that is out of alignment, we start to suffer." - JP Sears Letting Go of Constrictive Energy "To me, feeling nervous and constrictive energy is fear and a common denominator of maybe a lot of those fears is the fear of being who and how I really am in this moment. Will that be accepted by others; by myself? Will I get approval from my peers? I don't know how I will show up in the upcoming given moment so there can be fear of the unknown. The more we get accustomed to being curious of how we're going to show up rather than trying to align with a fictitious expectation, the more those constrictions go away." - JP Sears Links From Today's Show  Awaken with JP on YouTube JP Reacts on YouTube 451 Laura Coe | Understanding Akashic Records: How To Live Your Dharma, Spiritual Bypassing, Twin Flames & Soul Mates Paul Chek | All is God Living 4D with Paul Chek: Episode 5 – JP Sears: Friendships, Relationships and Personal Growth You are the Universe - Alan Watts PaleoF(x) 167 Michelle Norris: From Healing & Growth To Paleo f(x) 354 Keith Norris: Bread, Circuses, & Mind Control JP Sears: BOMBSHELL Safety Data Released on “Life Jackets” Why Life Jackets Should Be Mandatory!

His videos have been viewed more than 500 million times. In addition to inspiring laughter in a weird world, JP’s work takes an unapologetic stand for freedom, free speech, and encouraging people to free themselves from fear. JP lives in Texas because of FREEDOM! There he’s set a world record for how much he loves his family. When he’s not making videos or performing on stage, JP spends his time passionately playing all out, scaring himself daily, and choosing to live guided by his own free will. JP uses comedy to share "sincere life advice" and balances "the sincere and the satirical" while avoiding the idea that "you're either serious, like Deepak Chopra, or you're only joking around like a comedian”. Sears has rejected being categorized as either "sincere" or "humorous", explaining that he is both, and the premise of the question is like asking "do you have a right hand or do you have a left hand?"

God doesn't want you to use drugs to interact with the spiritual world. The reason for that is it's very easy to put your faith in being able to have God or the gods at your beck and call, being able to divine, being able to experience God but not ever truly know God, being able to experience a deep spiritual awakening but never actually go through the blood, sweat, tears, and the hard work that develops true spiritual enlightenment. - Ben Greenfield Are You Stressed Out Lately?

To be able to be on my knees each morning and say to God, 'I give everyone and everything to you. I can't do this on my own. I can't be good on my own nor be the father and husband I want to be on my own. Although this might sound like the total polar opposite of a positive affirmation, I'm a fallen creature and I would commit great evil if I were left all alone to myself; I know it...' ...However, there is this great confidence that despite all of that, I am loved unconditionally and have been offered a rescue line that is free so that all I have to do is rely upon the grace of God and his love to be able to help me be as good as I can be. I think knowing that gives great hope because then you know that you don't have to do it all on your own. You can rely upon a higher power to be the person that you want to be in this life." - Ben Greenfield Loving the World Through Your Purpose "You were made for a reason and you just have to unlock it. You have a planned divine purpose and it's so easy to experience the "grass is always greener" syndrome especially in a world with social media. It's so simple to look at other people living their purpose; they're a doctor or an architect or a gardener and then you find yourself comparing your life to theirs but never underestimate your unique skill set and the things that come easy to you because that's how you can love the world the most. You just have to intimately become familiar with what it is that you're good at and then unashamedly run with it in the spirit of not monetizing it but loving with it. Find your purpose and know that you never have to be ashamed of that purpose." - Ben Greenfield The Appropriate Path to God "In my own plant medicine experiences, they have only ever been about light, love, and spiritual enlightenment. Many former atheists that I have spoken to that have participated in plant medicine have been able to come and know God through ceremony. Plant medicines can be a path to God but it is not THE path; it is not the appropriate path to God. The reason for that is you can go in protected with positive energy plus the right environment and know that you can trust the shaman but it's really just playing with fire... ...That's why God has warned us about pharmakeia in the bible because he knew how attractive it was and how much of a train wreck it would cause in the end or how much of a displaced trust it would cause for people to put their faith and reliance upon how they could become spiritually enlightened in anything other than the free act of just leaving their burden at the foot of the cross, thanking Jesus, and living in grace." - Ben Greenfield Links From Today's Show  Listen to: Ben Greenfield Life Podcasts Why I Am No Longer Going to Be Using Plant Medicines: Part 1 - The Big Problem With “Plant Medicines” Part 2 - Why I Am No Longer Going to Be Using Plant Medicines: The Big Problem With “Plant Medicines” CHEK Institute How To Eat, Move, & Be Healthy by Paul Chek Paul Chek on Wellness + Wisdom Podcast RUNGA  Cover Story | Power Trip by New York Magazine Onnit 123 Aubrey Marcus – Own The Day 196.

For many people, perfectionism is a response to trauma. It's not that you just want to do everything perfectly. So, when you are a perfectionist, you have this constant inner voice telling you, 'That's not good enough. You need to do it again.' It's a defense mechanism that we create which can lead to a negative mindset and inner voice that's a constant critic. That can then override these beautiful emotions like joy and love. Your heart resonates so many positive emotions but trauma can really override that in the inner critic.  - Dr. Wendy Myers Are You Stressed Out Lately?

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.

The popular acronym of F.E.A.R. - Forget Everything And Run but what came through Josh during a Vision Quest about this approach: For Everyone's Attention Responsibly.

What wellness means now to Dr. Wendy since her last Wellness + Wisdom podcast interview. Power Quotes From The Show Over 65% of Health Issues Caused by Emotional Trauma "In my research, I found that emotional trauma causes over 65% of physical health issues. It's really a bigger issue than I expected for both little 't' and big 'T' trauma. There will be people with extreme cases such as PTSD but what's more common is childhood attachment trauma or developmental trauma because of an abusive or neglecting parent. This creates a cycle of stress in the body and a person can then develop a high-stress set point where they can be more sensitive to a stressor than the next person and it causes this cascade of stress hormones that can lead to this whole biological domino effect in the gut and brain." - Dr. Wendy Myers The Genesis of Self-Hatred "The genesis of self-hatred comes from how you were treated as a child by your primary caregivers. The reason why you can't talk or intellectualize away these negative feelings about yourself or your parents as an adult is because many of these abusive or neglectful situations happened before you were even able to intellectualize or verbalize them. As a child, you were not even consciously aware of what was happening and that is why talking about them doesn't really work. A lot of people aren't even aware that they still have these issues and you don't have to know what happened to you or what your negative emotions are to tune them out of your energy field." - Dr. Wendy Myers How Different Enneagram Personality Types Respond to Trauma "So many of us have this negative inner voice that can creep in and in the Emotional Detox program, we explore the different enneagram personality types that people have and how this changes their response to trauma. Based on the trauma that you have, your different personality trait(s) might be expressed. Some such as Type 1 or Type 3 might become perfectionists in response to trauma." - Dr. Wendy Myers Links From Today's Show  The Emotional Detox Masterclass Myers Detox Protocol Course 205 How To Live To 110: Wendy Myers 304 Dr. Ann Shippy HeartMath Institute The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk 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 Richard Schwartz, IFS Institute Eileen Day McKusick - Biofield Tuning NES Health Harry Massey, Founder, NES Health 423 Ryan Duey | Ice Baths: Cold Therapy For Weight Loss, Immunity, Metabolism & Mental/Emotional Health Peter A.

She is passionate about educating the public on the importance of long term detoxing considering our toxic world. She healed her own health issues through hair mineral analysis and developed a unique detox and supplement program. Wendy wants to help others do the same. Wendy’s interest in nutrition began with the death of her father from esophageal cancer. Intuitively, she knew his chemo, radiation, and ten medications killed him prematurely. She vowed to find out what made him sick, why he died, what role medications played in his demise, and how she could avoid the same fate. The more Wendy learned, the more she realized that all the answers to health do not lie in our medical system. Food, detoxification and natural healing modalities must be used to compliment the advances in modern medicine.  

The popular mantra, 'I am enough,' is actually an insult; it is disempowering. I get that it is a bridge in the self-development process because of the programming that people have received and they believe this lie but the analogy that I like to use is: If you went to a beautiful mountain lake and saw the most epic sunset of your entire life and you said, 'You are enough; yeah, that's enough'; what are you talking about? We are so much more than 'enough;' that is the understatement of the century. That belief has to change. - Tara Garrison Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Power Quotes From The Show How to Tap Into Your Creation Energy "You already are worthy. 100% you are worthy of success, of love, of better health. You don't even have to question that and the more you know that the more you will just be. A tree isn't sitting there wondering if it's worthy, it just is. Remember this when you catch yourself with a negative mindset about your body, work, or personal growth. When we see our worth; we feel it and when we resonate in it full of gratitude and truly see ourselves, that is actually creation energy. When you tap into that, you're no longer coming from a place of scarcity and trying to prove yourself to the world." -  Tara Garrison Why Are We Attracted to Food Camps? "We are so attracted to specific food camps because of our lack of self-development and people wanting to be led, taught, and get the Cliff notes of what is best. Then maybe they try that diet and they truly do feel better and it helps them. For example, If someone heals their SIBO with the carnivore diet, they are going to be feeling a lot better. But then if you have all of these respectable health professionals telling you all the reasons why this is THE best diet in the world for all humans, which a lot of it is for their monetary gain, you're not going to be really listening to yourself and what your own body needs. If all of that happens, you are setting yourself up to be in this very safe way of thinking." -  Tara Garrison Getting Back Into Powerful Alignment "When you are out of alignment, ask yourself, 'What is my fear?' Are you investing in yourself? Do you take courses, hire mindset coaches, or follow intuitive nudges and go on a trip that your intuition told you to do just for you?" -  Tara Garrison Links From Today's Show  Inside Out Podcast Episode 13: JOSH TRENT Breathwork, Ayahuasca & Following Your Heart Higher 1:1 Coaching Short Term Keto by Tara Garrison 338 Tara Garrison: Inside Out Health Bruce H.

We're all pre-diabetic; we're all pre-hearing loss, right? At some point, if you live long enough, that stuff begins to stop working in the body but you get to choose on the spectrum when that happens. Do you want that to happen when you're 100 or when you're 50? When you have ketones and protein in your system at the same time, it helps muscle protein synthesis happen quicker.

Exploring why not all calories are the same and the direct impact of these hazardous processed ingredients.

Comparing ketones and the energy that fats, proteins, and carbohydrates give us. The fact that the human body simply metabolizes ketones where there is too much of them and you don't need insulin to help with that process.

The difference between being in a smooth flow state and upping the ante to the point that you exhaust yourself. Why it does more harm than good to overestimate how much you're going to do in a day or in a week even.

Their first launch with a nootropic, Nootrabox, and where they went from in the human performance development space from there. The experience they had on Shark Tank and why they purposely said $40 million valuation for $2 million which is more than any other company ever has on the show.

The decision to take Version 1 of their product completely off the market while they worked on Version 2 and the impact that had on their business. Why the moment to start something new like launching a podcast or a business idea is now. How Michael would define wellbeing and wellness in his life. Power Quotes From The Show Understanding our Metabolic Health "One of the key things to look at for metabolic health is insulin resistance and when that happens, you feel more tired because you don't have the fuel to keep you going. A lot of people think that the answer is to keep eating even more but they can become addicted to it and as that insulin resistance is still happening - then people become diabetic. One of the big misnomers about diabetes is that we pathologize it until this disease state of either you have it or you don't but just like hearing loss we are all somewhere on the spectrum and we are all pre-diabetic." - Michael Brandt How to Bend Your Reality to Live a More Meaningful Life "What is a meaningful life? Take the signals that you think are good in the world and amplify them as much as possible as much as you can. Bend your reality and create more of what you want to see in the world by controlling your thoughts on a day-to-day basis, how you think about things, and how you manifest what is going on around you happen at a larger scale. You can be the least spiritual person but even just writing down your goals every day, breathing them in, and thinking about them - with all of the time you spend on it, you will manifest that reality." - Michael Brandt Ancient Fuel That Reverses Aging "Why are special operators like the Department of Defense interested in our Ketone-IQ™️ product? They're really interested in our ketone drink as a metabolic superfuel because ketones are efficient and they can turn into ATP cell energy. Think of your metabolism like an engine and if you're fueling it with dirty fuel you're going to have more gunk build up. Other types of fuel won't cause a gunk build-up and might even clean out the gunk. Why do some people seem older and more worn down than others? It's due to a lot of things like attitude and mobility but if we zoom in on metabolism, how much oxidative stress are you creating in that area over decades of your life?" - Michael Brandt Links From Today's Show  ⁠🎁 ⁠⁠⁠⁠30% off on 1st month of HVMN Subscription orders⁠⁠ KetoCon Austin 2022 Neurohacker Stephen Cunnane - Can Ketones Slow Down Alzheimer’s? 432 Barton Scott Brian Tracy Let My People Go Surfing: The Education of a Reluctant Businessman by Yvon Chouinard Nootrabox on Shark Tank Shop the Wellness Force Store breathwork.io Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' Seeking Health - Save 10% with the code 'JOSH' Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40' Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Cured Nutrition – Get 15% off of your order when you visit wellnessforce.com/cured + use the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes H.V.M.N. - Get 10% off with code 'JOSH' Facebook Instagram YouTube Twitter Michael Brandt Instagram About Michael Brandt Michael Brandt is the CEO and co-founder of Health Via Modern Nutrition (H.V.M.N.).

Click HERE to automatically save 10% Force of Nature is on a mission to improve our environment and health through regenerative agriculture while answering the community's call for food raised in a way that truly aligns with their values. The term “regenerative” means that the agriculture systems in which this food was raised honor the systems within Mother Nature. We care for the soil, respect diversity in plants and animals on the land, and focus on natural outcomes versus synthetic inputs. That means no tilling, no synthetic chemicals, no hormones or antibiotics, and beautiful, wide-open spaces. The result is what you expect. Disrupting the Big Food Industry We spent the last decade studying regenerative agriculture at ranches all over the world before we answered the community’s call to launch Force of Nature. Never before has a company founded on the principles of regenerative agriculture, curated a vast collection of land stewards, ranchers, and farmers who are committed to creating a positive return on the planet. Our mission is to accelerate the creation of a global regenerative supply network, to justify our supplier partners’ efforts on the land, and to offer consumers the awareness and the ability to vote for a system that aligns with their values. By reclaiming the legacy of meat, we will benefit all stakeholders of the planet and restore regenerative principles to their rightful place as the keystone to our agricultural system. Regenerative Farming is Better Meat that is more delicious and nutritious than anything else you can buy, including organic and traditional grass fed. Animals that are raised with honor in their respected natural environments, eating foods they are supposed to eat. A quality of life for ranchers and their communities that has been lacking for decades in the conventional system. A proven solution to our climate challenges with the power to sequester carbon and prevent many of the environmental disasters we face today. Click here to save 10% automatially!

Unpacking the devastating impact of tilling farmland for canola, soy, and other industrial crops for animals such as baby deer, birds, snakes, and more.

Power Quotes From The Show Omnivorous Truth: Starving with Our Bellies Full "As a culture, as a species, we are starving with our bellies full. We are seeing plummeting fertility rates, chronic diseases, obesity, and children are dying. That is why we should all be caring and having this conversation that looks directly back at our food and the land on which everything is dependent upon." - Taylor Collins Revealing Food Industry Lies "Big Food, Big Agriculture, Big Oil, Big Chemical, and Big Pharma are all tied together in our food system and they support the left side party, the right side party, and all that flow of money says, 'Don't mess up this machine.' If you look at what's going on with social media and the internet as they try to censor conversations, we need consumers to break out of their mold and become independent thinkers to stop allowing themselves to perpetuate the myths and the lies that they have been fed for years and to look at what's really happening in the food industry. A value meal at Chic-fil-A is more expensive than buying regenerative protein and whole vegetables to make a meal together as a family." - Robby Sansom Healing with Regenerative Ranching "If my wife was still vegan today she would either be dead or in a wheelchair.

Started by first generation farmers, Katie and Taylor's journey into ranching was based on a vision to positively impact large-scale agriculture through producing nourishing food that improves the lives of animals, enriches the health of consumers, and regenerates the land on which we depend. Like much of the world, this once-fertile region has been industrially farmed for the past 100 years. Through persistent tilling of soil, planting of monoculture row crops, and overgrazing, ROAM Ranch was not capable of producing food upon its purchase. Land in this condition is often deemed "unsalvageable" and in many circumstances further degenerates with rest- but we are going to prove otherwise. Force of Nature Meats partners with regenerative ranchers to bring you the best meat on the planet, for the planet.  With the intention to accelerate the creation of a global regenerative supply network. Never before has a company founded in the principles of regenerative agriculture curated a vast collection of land stewards, ranchers, and farmers who are committed to creating a positive return on the planet. Force of Nature now exists to give consumers the ability to vote for environmental regeneration by consuming meat that is actually good for the planet.

This is the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast. And today on a very special solocast, I'm gonna share with you the best of the best downloads, uploads, and knowledge that I've turned into wisdom through compassion and emotional intelligence during a Vision Quest. Now, if you don't know what a Vision Quest is, it's 10 days out in nature. Four of those days are fasting, which if you haven't done it fast before, don't worry. This is something you can do. If you are here on this video with me, or if you're listening on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, then you know that since day one, my mission has been, "How do I live my life?" Well, how do we live our lives? By understanding this Wellness Pentagon: the mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial responsibilities that all of us signed up for here on planet earth... [01:00] This Vision Quest's Gift And at times, tell me if you resonate with this - at times, it feels like there's only so much energy to go around. Do you feel me on that? Write a comment or write to me if right now in your life, you have been dealing with a lack of energy or an understanding of Qi where you're trying to fill up all these aspects of the Pentagon, but then as soon as you get your relationships great, or your health great, or your spirituality great, one of those sides of the Pentagon tends to be neglected, tends to fall away. And I think this is really the balancing act that all of us signed up for here on planet earth. And if you get one thing from what I share with you from my heart today, I want you to get the gift that I received, or at least if you can't get the full gift of this vision quest, you can, at the very least start your pathway to get the gift that I received. [spacer height="20px"] [01:50] The Power of Forgiveness And that gift to start out is forgiveness. And I'm gonna talk about two types of forgiveness right now. So if you're listening, pull over, if you're in nature, take a deep breath with me because forgiveness is something that I think is intellectualized. And I think there's a lot of content out there about forgiveness, but to truly forgive yourself and to truly forgive someone else, there's a pathway, there's a pathway to get there. And I'm gonna talk about what that pathway is and, and what came through for me, essentially in this Vision Quest. Now, this is my second year in the quest with Tim Corcoran of purposemountain.com. It's an incredible experience that he's created. And this year, last year we were in the mountains in Idaho. This year, we were in the desert, just east of Santa Barbara. And I went out there and it was so wild. [02:45] Chaos Seeking Order So wild. I got sick, I got this crazy sinus infection right before I went out there and I got really angry and I got pissed off. And I was like, why is this happening? You know, trying to like, just go through the lesson without trying to attach, to learning the lesson without actually going through it, tell me if you can relate to that. And by the time I got out there, and by the time I got finished with the quest, which I'm gonna share with you right now, I realized that all things are chaos seeking order. And I truly believe this, all things are chaos seeking order. Now, what do I mean by that? Well, to flashback the two things, two aspects of forgiveness is one: forgiving myself and two: forgiving others, right? I believe it's in the Lord's prayer. You know, forgive the things about others and forgive the things about myself that are actually applicable... [03:40] Embodied Forgiveness And grant me the wisdom to know the difference between the things I can change and the things I cannot. And that's a really big one because I'm not necessarily a religious man, but these two aspects that we're gonna go into right now, forgiving myself and forgiving others. These are the ultimate. And I truly believe that if there is an embodied forgiveness inside of myself and an embodied forgiveness that I have for others that have trespassed against me, or that have harmed me, or that have been malicious towards me, forgiveness does not mean forgetting. So just because I forgive someone, it doesn't mean that I forget the harms that they have projected or perpetrated onto me. All forgiveness is, is a gift that I unwrap with the courage of my heart. And that is it. Forgiveness is the gift that I unwrap using the courage of my heart. [04:40] Forgiving My Father Now, what do I mean by that? In my own example, I got a sinus infection. I went out for year two to the Santa Barbara mountains and for the first three or four days, going through these ego disintegration processes, really sharing the things in my life that are holding me back. There was this common theme, a common theme that came up for me, and that was forgiveness around my father. Now in the previous year, I had done a lot of work forgiving my father and in the year that followed, in the year of integration that followed after the first year, there was a lot of experiences and a lot of different connection points with my father, both email and text, where I did everything I could to establish a healthy boundary and to let him know from my heart to his that if you want to be in my life, if you want to be in my son's life, if you want to have any love or connection that it's so important, we have a foundation of kindness. [05:30] The Process of Death & Rebirth And unfortunately in the way that sometimes things go in life, that foundation of kindness was not respected. It was not honored. And so what came up for me during the quest was this process of death and rebirth. This process of truly, truly letting go. And for all of us, men or women that have had father wounding, this is for you. I went out to my site and after three days of really having so much come up for me on the quest, I sat at the site for about an hour and I looked down and I saw this rock and I wish I had it here in the studio (We're still building out the studio behind me). And I looked down and I saw this rock. And it, it was a rock that looked exactly like a Pentagon. I mean, it could not have been placed there by chance. [06:26] Lessons from God & Mother Nature This rock was the perfect shape of a Pentagon. And I was going through all these different mental cycles of how do I live my best life? How do I be there for my son and my woman and my business. And the answer was a lack of ego integration makes the body physically tired, which leads to me getting sick and having a sinus infection. So I'm sitting there, I'm holding the rock. That's shaped just like a Pentagon. And I break down in tears. I mean, I literally am sobbing because I'm realizing that not only does God and nature, give me every single answer that I ever need to live my life well, but I am actually the one that resists these lessons. And I resist these lessons because I think there was still a part of my child, my inner child, my young boy inside. And he just wanted the father that he never had. [07:24] Healing My Inner Child He wanted his father to be someone that maybe was never really possible. And so the father inside of me being a father to Novah and the man inside of me, leading a movement, leading a business, being here with you, there's an honoring of this that comes through in a Vision Quest because there's no food. There's just water. I'm out there in the middle of nowhere with nothing, just my thoughts and my breath. And it's really magical. What happens when we go out there and what was really magical for me, because I climbed up on this mountaintop. It was maybe two, 300 yards up this mountain. And I sat, cause I just wanted a higher perspective. I wanted a higher perspective on what nature, what God was actually trying to share with me. And I knew it was time. I knew it was time for my own individual ceremony. [08:20] Honoring The Individual Ceremony And this is what gets thrown around a lot. People say the word 'ceremony.' Ceremony, true ceremony is the most sacred thing that we have. Life is a sacred ceremony. Being in communion with nature is a sacred ceremony. Conscious, sacred sex is a ceremony, friendships. I mean everything in life is sacred yet all of us tend to, and I fell into this trap many, many times and still I'll be honest, continue to, right? We're human. But the difference is I have this awareness that was shown to me on that mountaintop when I wanted the higher perspective because the higher perspective is this to the degree that I forgive others. And to the degree that I forgive myself, that is the quality of my life. And I've heard people say this before Tony Robbins and Oprah and all these different speakers, but truly the ultimate gift that I got from the quest this year was letting go of these expectations that my father has to be a certain way. [9:25] Surrendering Control And this is really big because I can have healthy boundaries that I express and that I enforce, but I can't control the outcome. I can't control the outcome. I can't control how other people show up to me or show up to a relationship with me just like I can't control the wind. You know, I can't control the clouds or the sun. So to bring it back in those two ways that I told you, we were gonna go deep on today, the two aspects of forgiveness, I walked down that mountain and I did the hardest part, which was forgiving myself, forgiving myself for all the ways that I had treated women and used pornography and, and lied to others. And really just not been in integrity with myself, I guess you could call it like a spiritual role call that I was being placed in. And in this spiritual role call, I was able to see all the ways that my own father in his own life and, and all of our fathers really, but specifically my own father, wasn't able to show up in the ways that he wanted to, because of his lack of forgiveness or his relationship with his father, his very own father. [10:40] Epigentic Transfers of Trauma And I closed my eyes and I saw how Alan Watts talks about familial patterns or epigenetic transfer of trauma, or just ways of being. It's like all wretch and no vomit. He says where you raise your children by your behaviors and your subconscious ways of being that children absorb. And then they grow up and raised their children in the exact same way. It's all wretch and no vomit. And so for about three or four hours, I don't know, cause I didn't have a watch, but three or four hours, I sat there at my campsite during the quest and I cried and I made mental notes. And then when the time was right, I buried a hole in the ground. I found a bone of a deer and I buried that bone in the ground and I put some rocks and I put some loving intentions into it. [11:26] The "Burial" of My Father And I spoke to the burial of my father. Now, granted he's still alive, but because of challenges that we've had, I've had to set some very bright, hard boundaries about his way of being with me and the way that he's allowed or really anyone right now, I'm talking about him, but anyone is allowed to interact with me. And that is with a baseline of kindness. And so I said to my father as I buried the bone and I buried this relationship with him, I said, "I have to let you go. I have to let you go because of this lack of forgiveness for you. And this lack of forgiveness for myself is killing me. It's hurting." And so I buried the bone and I wept because the freedom that I felt after burying the expectations of how this person should show up all simultaneously, knowing that I am going to have the bright-line boundaries, that if he wants to engage with me with kindness, if he wants to be a part of my son's life, if he wants to be a part of my woman's life that he can. [12:40] Healing My Father Wound And, and I said to him, "The door is always open. I'm not here burying you forever. I'm just burying any kind of resentment or the things that are blocking my forgiveness towards you in this very ground." And that was freedom. I buried him in the ground. Wiped my hands. Tasted the dirt and I said, "I'm burying you, father, with kindness and I'm here. The door is here. If you want to return that kindness back." And then came the work over the next three, four days of me integrating this, keeping this promise to myself, to establish and, and really have these hard, bright-line boundaries with him and with all people so that the father inside of me can shine. [13:20] Processing & Integrating The Lessons And this was a really big deal. This was a huge deal for me because I think I had to go through that first year of anger and processing to really get to the second year so that the lessons could integrate in the earth that I was standing on. And that was a big one. The last thing I'm gonna read to you is when I got back to the circle and I was integrating with the group, I wanna read this to you because this was something that I actually journaled, but I lost my journal and when I lost my journal, I just had to go off of this recording. Luckily someone in the group put their phone down as we were integrating. And I wanna share this with you. I know this is gonna be really powerful if you yourself have dealt with any kind of a father wound. And so on the very last night, on the fourth night, I seriously felt like that fourth night was an entire day. And I was like, is this ever gonna end? [14:27] I Will Not Live in Fear And I just stripped off everything. I stripped off everything and put my sleeping bag to the side. As the moon was bright, I just stood up and I said, "I will not live my life in fear. I will not live my life in fear, fear of not forgiving someone, fear of not forgiving myself, fear of what might happen, fear of poverty, fear of anything, fear of disease." And then I laid there and my heart was pounding after four days of fasting. And I, I asked Spirit this powerful question, which I'm gonna read to you now on the final hour of the last night, the darkest hour, I laid in my sleeping bag under the stars to feel the cool wind on my face and hear the owls hooting in the distance. [15:25] Asking for God's Guidance My stomach was rumbling so hard in the most intense way as if the grumbling was the shroud of twisted energy that bends the branches of the trees and coils their trunks with my heart racing, I lay on the earth asking for guidance to God from humility. I said, "God, Great Spirit, Mother Earth. Why do I feel so nervous and experience deep anxiety before I record big podcasts and speak in front of large groups? I feel as if there's a weight on my chest and my mind races to be seen as perfect. I ask you humbly, what is the truth? I've experienced this feeling for so long, this restlessness I'm seeking your wisdom. I'm seeking your relief. And after what seemed like 10 minutes, she finally answered. [16:13] Choosing Freedom She said, "Child, you must love yourself." "Deeply know this every single time, big or small that you've experienced trauma from parents, society, school, bullies, friends, or even more subtle and sinister and subversive like mental trauma from media propaganda teaching and forcing you to distrust yourself every single time you closed your heart in fear or shame, a record was created." "Your ego subconscious has been creating a live-in library for you, your entire existence, and everything big or small that made you close your heart. A record was stored over time." "Little by little, every single record was written and recorded deep in the mental recesses by the ego to keep you safe from pain. But this safety came with an ultimate price, a price that can only be paid by the integration of all the fear and shame with the courage and wisdom of your heart. If you want to be free, you must choose." [17:17] Reopening Our Hearts "You must choose to enter healing, spiral a path to remove the shackles of safety because life is not always safe. My child life is wild and this is the price that must be. And this is the price that must bravely be paid." "So, the light of your soul can be free to shine bright as it did when you were a child, because you see my child, it was not your fault that you closed your heart. It is all just a part of life. And now the noble responsibility to free your soul lies at your feet." "Now, look down and see the uncountable pebbles lay before you and know each pebble is a time that you closed your heart. When someone caused you hurt when the pain was too much to hold with the level of your maturity and strength now is the time. So bend down child and pick up as many pebbles as your two hands can hold." [18:14] Your Body is Your Subconscious "Knowing that your body is your subconscious mind - as above so below - and know that it is your body that has built a wall around your heart and extra weight around your physical body, for that pain and know that it is your body that has built a wall around your heart and extra weight around your physical body." "For the pain, no one trusts. You're not alone. My child, I am with you. We are all with you. All your ancestors are holding and loving you for all the pebbles in your blood that they themselves could not heal in their lifetimes. For those they gave to you, forgive them." "They did not know you are the chosen one. Not because you're more special than those who came before you, but because you and I are special just like them. And you have the courage and the chance they may not have had." [19:09] Healing Our Trauma "And you have the courage and the chance they may not have had. So bend down and pick up all the pebbles you can hold with your two hands. Do not fret. If summer spilled, there is time. My sweet child, there is time now. Breathe." "One by one, hold each pebble in your hand and place it on your heart. Feel what needs to be felt. Scream, belt, scream, cry, shake. If you must. So as you feel it fully, the pebble will melt and move through you. These rocks are too. These rocks are too heavy to carry any longer, and there will be more to carry on the path ahead." "It is your strength and grace that will guide you to the truth. Open your heart to this truth, my child, that you are loved. You are supported and with pebbles in your hands and at your feet, you are on the right path." It's good to feel that truth. It is so refreshing to know that all of us, every single human being, I don't care if you're four years old or 42 or 84, we all have trauma. We all have wounding. And it's actually the societal narrative that blocks us from exploring it, from unpacking it, from getting to the root of it. Is that,"I'm okay. Everything's okay. Good vibes only..." [20:40] "Good Vibes Only" is a Lie But it's all a lie. I know that from this quest and from the act of the two phases of forgiveness that I've shared with you, both forgiveness for myself and forgiveness for others, it is the gift that I unwrap with the courage of my heart. It is the gift that I know I can give to others repeatedly because life is a series of events where we'll have to forgive ourselves and others for the ways that we treat ourselves for the narratives that we speak to us and for the narratives and the ways that we speak to others. And if you've gotten anything from this solocast, make sure you keep listening. I'm gonna share exactly what happened in the group. So keep listening to this now, but if you received any wisdom from this that you were positively impacted by, that really meant a lot to you write it in the comments below, or you can message me on Instagram or just write me a personal message. Also for more resources, you can go to joshtrent.com/437. That's joshtrent.com/437 That's where I list a ton of resources to support you for free and the five sides of your Wellness Pentagon. Look, I don't have it all figured out, but I'm at a wonderful place compared to where I used to be. That is for sure. The place I'm at now, after going through two years of the quest, knowing that there are more years ahead of me, that's the most honest... [22:14] Sharing My Forgiveness of Self and of Others And the most real experience I can give to you is that I, myself am still a student on this path of wellness in life. The greatest gift that I ever have in this world is sharing my forgiveness of self and my forgiveness of others right here with you. And I want to end by just this quote that I've mentioned on the podcast a few times, but I've also really been swallowing this and feeling this in my heart of my solar plexus. It's from Rumi. And as we say goodbye, let Rumi guide you here. Take a deep breath. Beyond right and wrong beyond right and wrong. There is a field I will meet you there.

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.

If we look at the transtheoretical model of change, in the first stage you are not aware at all that a change is even needed. Then, we move into a state of pre-contemplation as the rumblings are growing louder. Next, we have the contemplation phase where you are actively thinking of making. a change. Finally, you get to a stage where you are actually ready to make a plan and change. All of those steps are part of the change process and anywhere you are on that path you have to honor the change you're in. - Eric Zimmer Are You Stressed Out Lately?

The One You Feed 500th episode: Feeding Your Good Wolf with Listeners of the Show!! Power Quotes From The Show Shifting Your Mindset with Self-Love "I both prevent and treat depression with self-love. However, self-love is not something that we can just flip a switch on. It takes time even years to develop a deeper self-love practice with yourself. When it comes to preventing depression with self-love, it's really about not allowing myself to get locked in ruminative states where my brain swirls round and round especially self-critical thoughts. For treating depression, I work on recognizing and stopping shameful thought patterns like "I shouldn't feel this way," or "I shouldn't get depressed," because those can really take over in my mind." - Eric Zimmer Be On Your Own Side "Being on your own side is not about being right in an argument or anything like that but always wanting the best and healthiest thing for yourself. I always want to support myself and have my own back. That is a really powerful place to come from for self-love and personal development growth." - Eric Zimmer Why You Shouldn't Resist Negative Emotions "How do I befriend my negative emotions, not ostracize them, and create a healthier relationship with them? When we see greed, anger, or hatred as only bad, it's like cutting off a part of ourselves sometimes. What you resist persists and if you're fighting against these negative emotions all of the time in a sense you're engaging with them in a very strong way. Not resisting them so much can be much more helpful as you observe and move through them." - Eric Zimmer Links From Today's Show  Eric Zimmer The One You Feed Podcast W+W 320 Eric Zimmer: The One You Feed 437 Josh Trent | Death & Rebirth: Why I’m Saying Goodbye to Wellness Force… Dr. Joe Dispenza Serenity Prayer OMOS: On My Own Side by Dr. Aziz Gazipura Eric's Spiritual Habits Program The Tiny Book of Essential Wisdom - Forrest Landry Dr. Gabor Maté BJ Fogg PhD Charles Duhigg 388 Dr. Jud Brewer | Unwinding Anxiety The One You Feed 500th episode: Feeding Your Good Wolf with Listeners of the Show!!

Cannabis meets a lot of people where they're at; maybe they're not ready to do an inner child healing workshop but they might be open to the idea of praying before interacting with cannabis and setting an intention. So, we meet them where they're at and allow them to experience what this whole world is with a conscious cannabis practice. Also, we teach them how to heal without it; you don't need these plant medicines to access a higher self or heal but they do show you what's already possible and what is there in your life. Plant medicines give you the direct experience so that you then have the motivation and inspiration to actually start diving into the real work. - Ryan Sprague Are You Stressed Out Lately?

If we're able to level up our wonder and curiosity with it then we're able to go into our subconscious, look at our belief systems, and the emotions we may have attached to them. Next, we can consciously choose which ones we want to take away, translate, or flip the script on and from that new belief system have a more optimized experience of life."  - Ryan Sprague Links From Today's Show  Highly Optimized Podcast This One Time on Psychedelics Podcast Connect with Cannabis - Use the code 'JOSH' for 10% off!

What does thriving really mean? Does it just mean eating well and working out? Having the energy to be busy? Or does it mean having the energy to literally create what you want in your life and experiencing the joy in that? Thriving is more of a practice and a constant check-in to make sure you're not going into those old patterns of behavior. Ask yourself why you're doing what you're doing and start to do things more out of joy rather than obligation. - Allison Pelot Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Power Quotes From The Show The Subtle Energy Body "The subtle energy body reflects reality in a way that crosses all time in space. It is your intuition and higher self, your inner child and your future self, it is your multidimensional dimensional self. But the key to all of these other multidimensional aspects of yourself is really through the inner child. If you are not acknowledging your inner child's needs first then they will not let you through that gate to everything else. They want to be liberated and they want to play but they cannot do that until you acknowledge them." - Allison Pelot You Are Not Your Mind "The mind is a great tool and if we can acknowledge it as a tool instead of who we are, that's a great first step. The mind is not who you are because the subtle energy body is more of who you are and it uses the mind and the body as tools of perception and reality." - Allison Pelot Coming Back Home to Ourselves "How can we get back to our wholeness within ourselves and have that respect for our bodies, our creative expression, and the energy that we bring to the table? The only way that you can do that is by doing the inner work and there is a sacredness to that within ourselves." - Allison Pelot Links From Today's Show  Shop the Wellness Force Store Integrate Yourself Podcast Finally Thriving by Allison Pelot Hanna Bier Roseanne Grace Paul Chek Alan Watts Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss Brené Brown Breathwork & The Default Mode Network: What’s Really Happening? 430 Zach Bush MD | Sacred Commerce & Community: How To Thrive In 2022 366 Mark Wolynn | How To Heal Generational Trauma 183 Dr. Kyra Bobinet | Living A Well Designed Life breathwork.io Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' Seeking Health - Save 10% with the code 'JOSH' Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, you only cover the cost of shipping Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40' Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code 'WELLNESSFORCE' Cured Nutrition – Get 15% off of your order when you visit wellnessforce.com/cured + use the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes Allison Pelot Instagram Facebook YouTube Twitter About Allison Pelot Allison Pelot is a dynamic fitness trainer and energy coach specializing in rapid, permanent change through corrective exercise, metabolic nutrition, and energetic alignment.
