Wellness + Wisdom Podcast

There's a lot of talk that we need to collectively raise the vibration but it's not done like that. We don't collectively do anything. Transurfing is about accountability for yourself and your actions. 'Tuning into the collective' is a nice way of saying and adhering to a script. External scripts written by others don't really benefit a lot of people. Reality Transurfing you remove yourself from the script, wake up as an individual, and follow a script that is best suited for you, your intentions, and your trajectory in life. The cool thing is, when you raise your frequency, you raise the frequency of others around you and so on and so forth. - Renée Garcia   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST* Wellness Force Radio Episode 391 Founder of the International Transurfing Institute, Renée Garcia, unpacks what reality transurfing is and how you can use this psychological tool for personal development, shares her own personal success story of transcending her poverty into abundance and sickness into healing plus why we fall into the trap of unhappiness by seeking fulfilment outside of ourselves and how you can escape this mentality.   Are you living to your fullest potential?

Alan Watts Her definition of success and how she sees it in her own life and mission. How the human psyche traps us to think we're safe when we have money or this and that. What wellness means to her and where you can further connect with her online. breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Power Quotes From The Show   What 'Anything Goes' Means For Transurfers   "Transurfing is a knowledge based in non-duality. We don't really believe in black and white. We believe in what is good for you. In that regard, I definitely could understand how some people could view reality transurfing as being a tool for a narcissist but I think that term is really thrown around in our culture. When you guilt someone or you call them a narcissist, what you're attempting to do is adhere that person to the script of your choosing. In the transurfing modality, we say 'Anything goes as long as you are not hurting another person or people.' Transurfing is about opening your eyes to how society guilts you or pressures you into adhering to a script so that you can do your own thing." - Renée Garcia   Are You Ready for Reality Transurfing?   "People love the idea of transurfing: the conversations, the concepts, and how it makes them feel but at the end of the day many of them lack the desire or the intent or the ability to actually take action in their lives and move in the direction of the reality they desire. The people who take action are actually taking my words, my videos, my lessons, or my course and they're applying them to their lives and they're seeing results. Your reality will not change if you're just entertained by reality transurfing and don't actually do anything." - Renée Garcia   Finding Happiness Within Your Soul Fraile     "The more stuff I gained, the more panicked I became because nothing was making me happy. I had the profession, and the condo, and a lot of things that people would love to have but I still didn't feel fulfilled. What finally made me feel some sense of happiness, fulfillment, and meaning was to finally disconnect from all the external things that I believed or was told would bring me happiness and tune into a place I had never explored before and that is what we call the soul fraile in reality transurfing. The soul fraile is the specific code of who you are as an individual and acting from that place instead of connecting to your external environment and doing what it compels you to do. That's why so many people are unhappy today; because they're living from the external rather than the internal way." - Renée Garcia     Links From Today's Show  LMNT Belcampo Farms Reality Transurfing Institute International Transurfing Institute Community Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior by David R.

More than anything, the plant medicine industry needs to hear a message of responsibility. They need to understand the true power of what they're engaging with and they need to understand that these plant medicines are not just medicines if you administer them. You're not taking on a glorified role of a bartender prescribing a tea or some kind of plant elixir to somebody. These are unbelievably serious and profound plants that have literally shaped human consciousness over thousands of years and there's a fundamental reason in the Amazon that the true practitioners of the lineages of medicine go through 10 to 15 or even 20 years of apprenticeship.  - Hamilton Souther Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST* Wellness Force Radio Episode 390 Author, Master Shaman, Chairman/Founder of Blue Morpho as well as Co-founder, Chairman and CEO of Sizzle Media, Hamilton Souther, shares how to tell if a plant medicine retreat center is the real deal or not, how to know if you are a good candidate for an Ayahuasca ceremony as well as how to integrate, know, and love your shadows.   Have you had an experience with plant medicine?

Shamans have to be properly trained and know how to use plant medicine just like a surgeon trains to do a knee replacement. You, as a practitioner of the plant medicine, need to be trained to be able to diagnose somebody, look at them, understand where they're coming from energetically, and literally straighten out all of the problems they have energetically in that multidimensional field. You have to be able to navigate all of that and ultimately have the person come out on the other side of their ceremony having had healing and you can see that the affliction is no longer there and they have had a healing transformation."  - Hamilton Souther   The Dark Side Of Plant Medicine: Manipulation & Mind Games   "The dark side of plant medicine is the opposite of healing someone. This darkness is a form of manipulation and a form of distortion that is coming from a really twisted kind of intention where there are power games taking place. It's like sleight of hand magic, filling someone with an illusion, and taking somebody who's already in a state of need and putting them in an even greater state of need. There are all different kinds of means of doing that and it's taking advantage of people in a way that's really frowned down upon by the people who practice medicine. You have to be very careful about the practitioners that you interact with because of the power and influence that they can hold; especially when somebody is in a vulnerable state." - Hamilton Souther   How To Choose A Plant Medicine Practitioner     "Be grounded in the best of your ability when picking a practitioner to have these plant medicine ceremonies with. The real key is to understand how important the person is who is administering the ceremony. Don't make the mistake of thinking it doesn't matter who's administering the ceremony because it's all the plant medicine; no, on the contrary, the people who are administering that ceremony are unbelievably important to the outcome that you're going to have from it." - Hamilton Souther [spacer height="20px"]   Links From Today's Show  Belcampo Source Independent Entertainment The Mystical Secrets of Medicine vs Sorcery by Hamilton Souther Mystical Secrets to Money Magic by Hamilton Souther Tim Ferriss: An Urgent Plea to Users of Psychedelics: Let’s Consider a More Ethical Menu of Plants and Compounds Paul Chek: All Is God Carl Jung 032 Katie & Gay Hendricks Alan Watts 312 Kevin Kelly Sorcery Vs.

The lessons and learnings that Josh has received in 2020 and now in 2021. Josh's mission with Wellness Force and how that has shifted over the years. What it actually means to be closer to love and a loving God. Why the mind is just this gateway to what the heart and the soul and the connection to God outside of us and inside of us are really seeking. The fact that there is actually no way to move forward with life as a collective and as a society without forgiveness. What tools Wellness Force can give you along your wellness journey including breathwork.io and the M21 Wellness Guide.   [3:00] If We Can Breathe We Can Choose The power of knowing that if we can breathe, we can choose. Why love is not a light switch that we can simply switch but is an ever-present, everywhere and nowhere, all encompassing energy. How we can forgive and let go of our judgement of others and where they're at in their wellness journeys. What steps we can take to reveal and heal our own emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental masks.   [6:00] Coming To Terms With Ourselves Unpacking our own sins and wounds that need healing. The fact that many of us have scars from religion and even terms such as "spirit" or "God." Spiritual bypassing that exists in our world and why the inner work is so important. Josh's own self-hatred, judgements of self, and unforgiven sins that have bubbled up for him in 2020 and what work he is doing to heal them. How the healing can begin within yourself with a guided mantra from Josh.   [9:00] What Is Intelligence Anyways? Why intelligence is not how smart you are but how you embody love. Josh's call to arms as a society for all of us to take a deep breath and to learn how to use the power of breathwork so that we can embody God's love. Paul Check | All Is God Rachel Fiori The power of asking yourself what mental, emotional, and behavioral programs are you running? The mirror of collected wounds in our society that we need to heal by reconnecting with God. breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Transcript From God Is Love | Solocast Josh Trent (00:00): God is love. God is love, and this is what we've all gotten wrong. And I have compassion for all of us, myself included because we've been doing the best that we can. And I know this resonates with you because we are all walking this path, this pathway towards knowing the God inside of ourselves and knowing the God that directs and guides all things. And so in this reflection, in this transmission, in this episode, I get to share with you my learnings, my lessons, and my teachings that have transpired for me in 2020, 2021. It's been quite a long time. It's been a long time since I've done a solocast. I've been really focusing on sharing other people's messages and missions and spotlighting people that I believe in my deepest heart are here to serve the world, make it a better place and reconnect us to the God within ourselves and the God outside of ourselves.   Josh Trent (01:08): But I made a snap judgment a long time ago that I'm taking ownership for now. And that is I thought that by sharing the mental constructs, the mental faculties, the lists, the PDFs, the guides, and all these things that somehow that was going to get myself and all of us closer to love, closer to loving the God inside of us, closer to loving the God outside of us. But the reality is the mind is just the gateway. And this is really the truth. The mind is just this gateway to what the heart and the soul and the connection to God outside of us and inside of us are really seeking. And that is, we are all seeking forgiveness - all of us. We are all seeking forgiveness, a reconnection to the love within ourselves and being kind to ourselves and one another along the way.   Josh Trent (02:05): I have had in my almost 41 years of life, so many sins, and I laugh with a tear in my eye because these sins must be forgiven. There is actually no way to move forward with my life or for any of us to move forward as a collective, as a society without forgiveness. I once heard someone say forgiveness is not a gift that you give to another person. It's a gift that you give to yourself. And I think what's really powerful about that is I have not been giving myself that gift.   Josh Trent (02:48): And let this be a call for all of us, let this be a call to you and your heart to begin to take deeper breaths through your nose. Whether it's in our BREATHE: Breath and Wellness Program or not, whether it's in the M21 Guide, just that short box breath practice, may we all have the courage and may we all be connected to our heart and to our soul and to God inside of us and to God outside of us, that if we can choose to take a breath, if we can breathe, we can choose. Truly if we can breathe, we can choose.   Josh Trent (03:30): Se posso respirare posso scegliere. And knowing that, knowing that if we can breathe we can choose, what else can we choose if we choose to breathe? What else can we choose to do? How else can we choose to be? Who can we become if we choose love? And love is not a light switch. Love is not this switch on the wall that you can flick. Love is an ever-present, everywhere and nowhere, all encompassing energy that holds us like your grandfather or your grandmother or your mother and your father held you when you were a baby. And you may not even remember it. But I guarantee if you ask them, they do. That is God. That is love. The feeling of trust and security and safety and connection to being held by your own mother, your father, your grandfather, a brother, a sister, a friend, anyone that is pure in their heart, pure in their soul about what love really is.   Josh Trent (04:32): And what love really is, and this is what I've learned over the past six years of this podcast, love is not an action. Love is not an action. Love is a way of being. And we are all collectively kneeling at the altar here, either the altar of forgiveness or the altar of self-judgment and self-hatred. And so I asked myself today and I ask us all, what altar are we kneeling at? Are we kneeling at the altar of darkness and feeding the beast where I'm getting angry at someone wearing a mask? I'm getting angry at people who really I get to have compassion for. They don't see between the lines. They don't see between the trees. They don't understand what's really happening in our world because when I go to the altar of truth and I ask God, "God, Spirit, please connect through me. Allow me to be your servant. Allow me to be someone that puts your work into this world so that I can embody the love that you show me is real, every breath every day," that is the altar that I choose to pray at.   Josh Trent (05:44): The other altar of darkness is the altar of judgment and betrayal and vitriol and anger and hatred and me pointing the finger at someone else. And so I get to ask myself today and we all get to ask ourselves, as I point my finger at the people wearing a mask, what mask am I wearing emotionally, physically, spiritually, mentally? What mask am I wearing that I'm not willing to take off either? And the mask that I've been wearing is that I can't handle everything that I deserve. I can't handle everything that I deserve. Isn't that interesting? Isn't that interesting? And if you're resonating, just take a breath.   Josh Trent (06:36): What mask are you wearing? What mask are you wearing? You can name out a thousand things, but behind that mask is sins that have not yet been forgiven. And I don't mean this in a religious way. I know myself and a lot of us have wounding around religion, even around the term spirit or God. They've been so fucked up for so long. We have people like the Medical Medium. We have people that are out there doing plant medicine ceremonies, and people that are with the good intentions trying to help others, but yet they themselves are not healed. They themselves are wounded operating as if they are whole, as if they are unwounded and it's a lie.   Josh Trent (07:15): And so this is the call to arms. There is a deep, deep and powerful call to arms happening. When I look back on COVID and mask wearing and cognitive dissonance and Black Lives Matter and racism and all of these things, all of this stuff, all of this putrid, black, dark energy is bubbling to the surface so that it can be healed. Don't you get it? That's what's really going on right now. All the things that are coming up in me, my self-hatred, my judgments of self, my unforgiven sins about the way I treated women in the past or the pornography I watched, or the people that I hurt, this is our work. This is your work.   Josh Trent (08:01): Look within yourself today. Be still. Put your hand on your heart, take these deep breaths and ask God within yourself and outside of yourself, please forgive me. Please show me how I can forgive myself. This is the day that the healing begins - right now. You listening to this with me, this message, this is where the healing begins right now. Not because it's a mental construct, but because you and I together in this community, on this podcast since Day 1 and especially today and how we move forward, our commitment to discovering this love, discovering this physical and emotional intelligence.   Josh Trent (08:45): And by the way, intelligence is love. Intelligence is the embodiment of love. Intelligence is the way that I hold my future son, I hold my wife, I hold my brothers and sisters. That is intelligence. Intelligence is not a book you read or a podcast you listen to. It is what you have embodied. And it's living in your body right now. And all of this call to arms is as a society, individually with myself and you in this audience, it is for all of us to take a deep breath, to learn how to use the power of the breath so that we can embody God's love. The embodiment of God's love is not something you can fake. It's not something that you can read in a book. It has to only, and I'm laughing because I fell into this trap myself in the past. God's love can only be something that you embody from experience, from actually knowing God.   Josh Trent (09:41): Key references from this podcast today. It feels good to do a solocast. If you like this, let me know. Write me on social, connect with me. This is pure. This is raw. This is from the heart. And I may lose people, I may gain people. It's all good because it's all God and it's all love. So, key resources from this. The episode that we did with Paul Chek, it's wellnessforce.com/AllIsGod. Our key resource for you to begin this unpacking process of not just your sins, but also your programs, how you're showing up, what, as my mentor would say, Rachel Fiori, my friend, my colleague, my business partner, what mental, emotional, and behavioral programs are you running? What are those programs? And are you happy with the results of your programs? If not, reach out to me. I trust I can guide you. I trust that I can help you. And I trust that if I can't, I can refer you to someone that can.   Josh Trent (10:37): So, know that as you listen to this, as you feel the words that are coming through me and that are being absorbed by your consciousness, trust that if they're resonating inside of you, they are resonating for a reason. That is the bread crumbs that are being left by Spirit for you to follow them and that should put a smile on your face.   Josh Trent (10:56): And the last resource I'll leave you is the BREATHE: Breath and Wellness Program. This program was built from my heart to yours. And you have my absolute promise that if you, especially in module one video, I believe number seven, the box breathing, seven minutes, if you just master that one video, you can download it on an app, you can do it on desktop, if you just download that one video, you will begin to unpack decades of generational trauma, decades of stress, and decades of old programs like mine possibly that have said things like this. It's too hard. You don't deserve it. Who are you to be so big? And you won't be able to handle it even when it comes. And we know that if we're still enough, and I know that if I'm still enough, and we know that if we can do our work to heal ourselves, then all the mask wearing, all the racism, all the violence and all the utter bullshit that is something society has been praying to on the altar of darkness, will not be able to breathe anymore.   Josh Trent (12:04): And so I think about this metaphor of George Floyd where he was kneeled upon by someone who was wounded themselves. And I think about how that's the mirror for the wounds in our collective society where we are dying to be reconnected to God. And this is the big question. Do we have to die as a society in order to be reconnected, to love, in order for love to reign? Because at the end of it all, and you know this and I'll leave you with this, God is love. God is love.   Josh Trent (12:39): If you resonate with this today, go to wellnessforce.com/M21. You can download your breathwork, calm mind, really energy boosting. That's the biggest thing it does. Energy boosting guide. It's wellnessforce.com/M21. If you want to work with me one-on-one, you can start by going to the BREATHE: Breath and Wellness Program, and you can find that at breathwork.io. I'm sending you so much love and so much wellness. And until I see you again on the next solocast or on the next podcast, or until you and I discover this physical and emotional intelligence so we can live our life well, which is the whole point of this show and that's really the whole point of anyone who's on the path to awakening or on the path to living a better loving, connected life, I'm wishing you love and wellness.   Build Immunity.

I wrote Fast This Way to explain both the spiritual as well as physical side of fasting but what people get wrong is that they will try to use the spiritual practice of fasting in the middle of a work day. There's such a thing as a working fast which you do for more energy, high performance, and anti-aging and then there's something called a spiritual fast which is something that you do for spiritual development and they're just fundamentally different. Until you do a longer fast with rest, relaxation, meditation, and introspection, you're not going to see it. So, I see a lot of people trying fasting and then it doesn't work and they say they couldn't do it right because it sucks. Well, when you do intermittent fasting right it doesn't have to suck. - Dave Asprey   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 389 New York Times bestselling author, podcast host of Bulletproof Radio, as well as Founder and Chairman of Bulletproof, Dave Asprey, returns to discuss his latest book, Fast This Way, how mitochondria dictate our willpower, the benefits of prebiotics and soluble fiber supplements during a fast plus whether you should fast alone or with a group.   What is the right way to do a fast?

There's a fasting trap, a vegan trap, a keto trap, and an exercise trap and they're all from the same basic human behavior which is, 'You know what, if something is good, more is better.' If you go into keto and you stay in keto all the time, you will hate your life eventually. You'll feel great for a while and then when it stops working, you'll think it's because you're not keto enough and you'll go from 15 grams of carbs to 12 and wonder why it's still not working and then you'll be stuck there and fasting is the same way. If you fast heavy every single day, it might not be the best idea. Fasting in moderation and learning how to have less stress and more energy during a fast is sufficient." - Dave Asprey   Building A Stronger Mindset   "In Fast This Way, I found this study that 15% of the average person's thoughts are about food every single day. So, if you turn off your hunger - Wow! You just got 15% more of your thoughts back. If that's just our thoughts on food, then it's a lot more for our fearful thoughts. Is it half your thoughts? Are two-thirds of your thoughts about the fear-running thoughts, inner critic, and angry voices in your head? If most of your thoughts are hunger and fear, there's just a little bit left for personal development and self-improvement." - Dave Asprey     Cravings vs Hunger     "From a somatic perspective, understand that there are two different states people have mixed up around hunger. One of them is cravings and the other is actual hunger. Most people only have cravings and they never get to feel hunger. A craving is, 'If I don't eat soon, I'm going to die;' you have to have it and it's an intense feeling. Cravings can be caused biologically when you eat certain foods; in fact many or most cravings are caused by eating the wrong stuff. Then you have hunger which is that mild feeling of, 'Yeah, it's probably about time to eat but it'll be okay if I do or don't." - Dave Asprey     Links From Today's Show  Belcampo 250 Dave Asprey Fast This Way by Dave Asprey Game Changers by Dave Asprey  Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey Bulletproof Upgrade Labs Head Strong by Dave Asprey The Bulletproof Diet by Dave Asprey Molecules Of Emotion: Why You Feel The Way You Feel by Candace Pert How Your Attachment Type Defines Your Sense of Self – Daniel P.

One pragmatic practice is to separate out the worry from the thinking. Fear plus uncertainty equals anxiety but uncertainty can also move us into a growth mindset. When there's a lot of uncertainty and we're really feeling down on our luck or really stressed out because of our finances; in those moments when we're really worried, take a deep breath, step back and ask yourself if this worrying is helping? Because worrying makes our thinking brain go offline. What do we need to help us move forward? We need our thinking brain. - Dr. Jud Brewer   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 388 Internationally known expert in mindfulness training for treating addictions, Executive Medical Director of Behavioral Health at Sharecare, and Author of his latest book, Unwinding Anxiety, Dr. Jud Brewer, returns to explain how worry and anxiety become habits, why we become addicted to stress, and practical strategies to navigate uncertainty.   What do we do with our anxiety?

In addition to reward based learning it has another trick up his sleeve. It takes what it learns and moves the learning into muscle memory as soon as it can. In other words, our brains are set up to form habits so we can free up brain space to learn new things."  - Unwinding Anxiety by Dr. Jud Brewer   Why Worry Can Be A Powerful Teacher "Inevitably life goes on and things are constantly changing and we have no control over the future. So, those feelings of uncertainty and wondering when the shoe is going to drop have been described as ways that make us feel like we're in control because at least we're doing something about it by worrying. However, worrying doesn't help and it actually makes our brain work less well. Try to see anything that isn't going well or isn't perfect as a learning experience. When your anxiety comes back up, what can you learn from it? If you lean into your hardships and challenges to get something out of them, they can actually be quite rewarding in the sense that you've grown and become more resilient." - Dr. Jud Brewer     Moving Into A Growth Mindset "What do we need to do in today's age? We need to be able to think beyond our narrow sense because the world has changed a lot. It has had this seismic shift that's never going to go back and we don't even know what that's going to look like. So, ask yourself, what I am I getting from worrying? See if you can step out of the worry and lean into that challenge. I'm not saying this is easy but I'm saying this is what we can do, right? Lean into this and ask yourself how you can move into your growth mindset and what's possible for you right now."  - Dr. Jud Brewer     Links From Today's Show    Belcampo breathwork.io Unwinding Anxiety by Dr. Jud Brewer 319 Dr. Jud Brewer The Craving Mind by Dr. Jud Brewer Eat Right Now app Craving To Quit Sharecare Mind Science 129 Gretchen Rubin Eric Kandel Carol Dweck Michael Pollan Loving kindness meditation guided by Dr. Jud Brewer How to use kindness to create connection during crisis Dr. Jud Brewer on using mindfulness to ease worry and anxiety 'Habit Loops & Everyday Addictions' 'Tame Your Feelings of Anxiety' TED Talk | A simple way to break a bad habit | Judson Brewer Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Dr. Jud Brewer Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube   About Dr. Jud Brewer Dr. Jud is the Executive Medical Director of Behavioral Health at Sharecare, Director of Research and Innovation at the Mindfulness Center, and associate professor in psychiatry at the School of Medicine at Brown University, as well as a research affiliate at MIT.

We are not our ruptures. We are the loving awareness that the rupture is existing within and when we can tap into our spacious awareness and view the rupture through our loving hearts, it transcends it, it shifts it, it helps it amalgamate, and move the timeline from this rupture that's three years old that's angry at the world into this adult who knows better. - Samantha Skelly   Wellness Force Radio Episode 387 Creator of Pause Breathwork, Host of The Sam Skelly Show, and Founder of Hungry for Happiness, Samantha Skelly, shares how you can access somatic healing and reclaim your inner peace with breathwork, her philosophy that "you are the medicine," how to deprogram your childhood, and her mission to disintegrate the dependency model.

To me, an actual broken heart is a closed heart. An actual broken heart is one that isn't willing to open up again; it is protective, guarded, and walled which can be important for the healing aspect. If you don't have boundaries, if you've been walked on, if you've experienced trauma abuse, there actually is an important boundary that is the complete individualization of self that doesn't allow in anything as you repair. Then you build up some level of confidence, a relationship with self, and a capacity for self through different modalities such as therapy but then you gently walk back into the world protecting and preserving that wholeness. - Mark Groves   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 386 Human Connection Specialist, Creator of the Become Boundaries Badass course, Podcast Host, and Co-Founder of the Do You Mine'd emotional network, Mark Groves, returns to share his own relationship transformations, how to heal from heartbreak, why love can hurt so much, how to navigate through pain and sadness as well as practical tools to help us take ownership within ourselves and our surroundings when relationships end.   How do we create more love for ourselves, friends and family, and the collective world we live in right now?     Join Josh and Mark as they explore what love actually is, why breakups are not failures and the awakening humanity is experiencing in 2021.     Become A Boundaries Badass!

Frances Weller breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show Healed People Heal People   "Our own journey to healing, responsibility, and self is what heals the world. If you go within yourself, you become a leader, and you step fully into yourself then you are hereby a beacon of model behavior for other people. There's a saying that 'hurt people hurt people,' but also 'healed people heal people." - Mark Groves   The Child Can Rest, The Adult Is Here "I had this beautiful meditation where I was like, 'The child can rest. The adult is here." I had reached this completion of this initiatory process of really becoming an adult and not letting the kid in me, who wanted to people please and was afraid of being laughed at or not acknowledged, get to me. I realized that those fears were not going to run my life or my relationships or anymore in how I communicate with others." - Mark Groves   Healthy Feedback In Relationships   "Some people say there's no such thing as healthy shame but I actually disagree. When you learn that a better behavior is available to you, you're going to experience healthy shame. Toxic shame is 'something is wrong with you.' Behavior is important but it's not attached to your worth so if you can allow yourself to open up to feedback from your partners and friends, you can begin to look at how you can be better. I see everything that my partner sees in me as an opportunity to improve as a human being and as a man." - Mark Groves     Links From Today's Show  Organifi Cured Nutrition Become a Boundaries Badass Do You Mine'd Create The Love 302 Mark Groves Relationships 101 Course with Mark Groves Mark Groves Podcast Paul Chek Rachel Fiori 333 Dr. Kelly Brogan Mark Groves Podcast: Dr. Kelly Brogan - End The War Against Yourself 096 Daniel Schmachtenberger Gangaji Carl Jung Ram Dass Heal Documentary Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert B.

Apollo Neuro uses sound waves that are composed for the touch receptors of our skin rather than for our ears. There's a component of music that's in the lower frequency range that is somewhere between 10 and 200 hertz which is about what comes out of your subwoofer that is more easily felt through our skin than heard through our ears. There are certain patterns of sound that when delivered to the skin, you can relatively reliably nudge the body and the mind into sync, flow, and goal states more effectively. Certain patterns of sound make us more energized and others calmer shifting our energy and mood. - Dr. David Rabin   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 385 Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at Apollo Neuroscience as well as the Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Board of Medicine, Dr. David Rabin, shares how the Apollo Neuro device uses sound waves to improve mental health, his practice of using breathwork and plant medicines in his clinical experience, and what steps you can take to restore your internal locus of control.   How can you become more resilient?

How mental health training for physicians has changed over the years and why people believed that physical and mental health were not connected. BJ Fogg Charles Duhigg Exploring the internal locus of control when it comes to letting go of unhealthy stress. How the worlds of breathwork, clinical experience, and the Apollo Neuro device have been combined for a nexus of healing. Diving deep into the question of, "Why do some of us find it easy to overcome stress when others do not?" The power of breathwork as the most fundamental skill to restore a sense of control. How gratitude works hand in hand with breathwork to help us calm down, be present, and restore our locus of control.   [15:30] Best Practices For Healing Chronic Mental Health Dr. Gabor Maté The fact that according to Dr. Gabor Maté, addiction is really the opposite of human connection. Exploring the little 't' and capitalized 'T' trauma of PTSD especially for war veterans. The Apollo Neuro device and how it can help those with PTSD. His work helping veterans with PTSD and studying how humans cope with chronic stress. Why people with low heart rate variability find it difficult to heal their PTSD, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, or insomnia with a western medicine treatment plan. The fact that 30-50% of people don't respond to a western medicine treatment for their chronic mental health condition. Why plant medicine is not for everyone but if you want to try it, you should do research to ensure it's done in a safe environment with a certified shaman. Unpacking why prescription medicines have their purpose but they are not for everyone as they do come with risk. Why a safe, trusting relationship with a therapist, psychiatrist, doctor, or caregiver is the most important thing for your healing journey. His experience in being trained in ketamine and MDMA assisted psychotherapy and the importance of the patient being in a safe mindset to have an optimal experience. Why there is no 'one-size-fits-all' approach to healing the mind.   [21:30] Navigating The Human Mind The fact that most substances that people self-medicate with to activate their serotonin, dopamine, endocannabinoid, endorphin, and opioid systems can also be activated with the sense of touch. Apollo Neuro's origin story and how the device is helping people heal their minds. How Apollo Neuro can help the user feel safe in an environment that was perceived as being threatening in the past. Why the brain is designed to react the same way to even very different threats when it does not feel safe. Eric Kandel The one thing that traumatizes almost every single person on this planet: when we go to a person that we respect and share that we are feeling sad, anxious, confused, or frustrated and they tell us something similar to: "You shouldn't feel that way. You shouldn't express yourself that way; anger is not appropriate." Why it is dangerous to teach someone that they need to suppress their emotions. How you can learn to acknowledge and feel your own emotions without judgment. 201 Dr. Michael Gervais   [33:00] Building Resilience Against Disease Through Balance The design behind Apollo Neuro and why it's actually a sound wave device. His musical background and why different types of music have various effects on the human brain. How music frequency can actually align the body and mind. What it means to be centered for greater health. Why balance is actually resilience against disease, stress, and illness. The top cause for imbalance: focusing too much on things that we don't have control over. Letting Go by David R. Hawkins Differences between toning and activating the vagus nerve through the left ear vs through the Apollo Neuro device which does the work for you in incredible stressful moments. Why Apollo Neuro users are discovering more benefits the more often they use the device. How Apollo Neuro trains the user how to identify actual threats vs perceived threats. Kevin Kelly Pink Socks breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show   Achieving Greater Wellness Through Balance "Unlocking greater wellness is about achieving balance. It's not about achieving one extreme or another; we're constantly bouncing back and forth between extremes. It's about finding balance and balance is resilience. Balance is homeostasis; it's the ability to not just mentally, emotionally, and spiritually bounce back from stress quickly but it's the ability to physically have our bodies recover and come back quickly from stress over and over again while also maintaining and sustaining an incredibly high level of peak performance which is achievable." - Dr. David Rabin   How Apollo Neuro Works With Your Stress "With the Apollo Neuro device, it doesn't require you to actively do anything like breathwork, rubbing the ears, putting pressure on the chest, or soothing touch to activate the vagus nerve. All of those activities work but if you've never been trained to use those techniques under stress or at all, then they are incredibly challenging to master and especially if you've never practiced them; sometimes they can take hundreds or thousands of hours for people to master them well enough to use under stress. We've designed Apollo Neuro for people like myself who never learned breathwork, how to meditate, or any of these self-soothing techniques as a kid. Apollo Neuro can show you what it's like to activate your body's natural calming system and once you feel it, it's easier to learn how to do it on your own." - Dr. David Rabin   Wellness Is Our Free Will "Wellness is recognizing our true free will which also includes 'free won't.' It's the opportunity to make a decision at any moment of what we choose to allow in. If we choose love, our lives will be filled with love in the moments we choose it. If we choose fear, our lives will be filled with fear in the moments we choose it. It's literally that simple. So, wellness in its simplest and most actionable form is just recognizing that we have this choice and making the conscious decision that we all have the power to choose love in every moment that we can." - Dr. David Rabin   Links From Today's Show  Organifi Board of Medicine BJ Fogg Charles Duhigg Dr. Gabor Maté Eric Kandel 201 Dr. Michael Gervais Letting Go by David R.

The whole secret sauce of Farmer's Footprint is going to be to tell the narrative of healing at every level. We cannot extract the human health story from the planetary story anymore. It's so intermixed; you literally cannot create human health if we don't solve these agricultural systemic issues. In the same way, we can't solve the agricultural problems unless we come to understand the value of human life and start to reallocate the valuation of food correctly. It's really a failure to understand the value of life that's leading to the human behaviors that are driving the agricultural decisions that we're making. - Zach Bush MD   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 362 Triple board-certified physician, Founder and CEO of ION*Biome, Zach Bush MD, returns to share how his company, Farmer's Footprint, is reuniting us with the soil for greater human health, how they're creating greater independence for farmers across the world, the connection between seeds and soil health plus how a strong immune system can combat disease, prevent rapid aging, and keep your body charged to heal faster.   How can you become a soil health advocate to help heal Mother Nature and save humanity?     Discover the real agriculture revolution and incredible resurgence in both health and vitality that is happening right now with Farmer's Footprint.      ION*Biome Gut Health *Get 15% off of your ION*Biome order with the code JOSH1KS  ION*Gut Health is a gut-strengthening, brain-boosting mineral supplement sourced from 60-million-year-old soil that naturally supports microbiome balance.

How 6-10 powerful companies are creating the whole paradigm of western medicine and agriculture. Breaking down the incredible co-dependence of decline in human biology as chemical companies continue to make products that make us sicker and sicker every year. Why the increase in side effects and mortality are becoming more and more common for all the pharmaceutical drugs. The impact of a strong vs weak immune system to combat disease, prevent rapid aging, and how to keep your body charged and heal faster. How he applies the same approach of helping the human body heal to aiding farmers grow healthy crops by removing weeds and harmful pesticides. How regenerative organic farming speeds up the vitality of the crops. Why the increase in CO2 in our atmosphere is from our topsoils dying, not greenhouse gases as they are clearing out every year in a natural cycle.   [16:00] How We Can Help Mother Nature & Humanity Heal What steps we can start taking moving forward as a community to help Mother Nature and humanity heal. The origin story of Farmer's Footprint and Dr. Zach's involvement with it from Day One up to now in 2020. How Farmer's Footprint first set out to tell a story of the human health crisis and better understand the relationship between common household pesticides like Roundup and the decline of our wellbeing. The devastating accumulation of pesticides that traveled through the Mississippi River creating Cancer Alley between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. How Farmer's Footprint helped to reverse the effects of pesticides and lower the cancer rates in the southern USA within a 10 year period. What steps they took to discover the connection between gut health, soil, and pesticides in their model of cancer. The moment that changed his understanding of the soil's cycle and the Farmer's Footprint mission moving forward.   [21:00] A Real Agricultural Revolution Why falling into the "anti-trap" and saying that the old narratives are wrong isn't helping us move forward and change as a society. What made Dr. Zach and Farmer's Footprint realize that they can't just be anti-glyphosate and anti-Roundup but they need to imagine a new future with decentralization as their focus. Explaining why decentralization should be the focus of every industry from the government to hospitals to nutrition to pharmaceuticals. Unpacking how nature is consistently proving the power of decentralizing life and what we can learn about it from a single cubic centimeter of soil. Earl Butz How Farmer's Footprint is creating a real agricultural revolution through human relationships. David Leon The secret sauce of the Farmer's Footprint to tell the narrative of healing at every level. Exploring the question, 'How can we be creating such a horrible environment for children at school if they are so important for humanity's future?' How we are failing to see the value of human life as we feed children Grade D meat at school. The relentless journey of being a farmer and how Farmer's Footprint is here to support them each week.   [30:30] How You Can Become A Soil Health Advocate Kiss The Ground Josh Tickell Soil Health Advocate Training - Kiss The Ground What positive changes you can start making by becoming a soil health advocate in your community. The power in farmers helping each other and how that is still present today in 70% of the world that is still being fed by peasant farming communities. How the US farming community has lost its identity as we moved forward into chemical agriculture, forced isolation, intense competition, and system of co-dependence with banks and USDA crop insurance. The future that Farmer's Footprint envisions with farmers no longer fighting for dominant success but working together. His hope that we will create highly diverse soil that will help feed the gut microbiome so that we may no longer need to rely on supplements.   [36:00] The Future Of Business In A Supportive Ecosystem What he envisions for the future of business and how brands can work together in a supportive ecosystem. Why the future CEOs of the world will see themselves as a resource manager across ideas rather than a product developer. His invitation to all companies to think more about acting as a GE by putting old capital into new and innovative spaces all over the place. The benefits of planting biodiverse plants not just on farms but also on our own lawns and playgrounds for our children, their health, and humanity's future. Project Biome Exploring the various soil, water, and air projects that Farmer's Footprint's parent non-profit, Project Biome, is developing right now. Why our natural energy sectors could be our greatest gift to the planet if we start focusing on improving them even more.   [41:00] Seeds Have All The Magic Exploring what first steps we can take to eating healthier and creating a better world including growing a garden. The power of history repeating itself as the US went out and bought every last seed in the stores to grow their own gardens during COVID-19 very much like the Victory Gardens that were grown after World War II. How our independence is a product of our resilience during difficult moments. The ideal garden we should be creating in our backyards and why it shouldn't be perfect. Why you should have low expectations when you start growing your own garden and don't call yourself a failure because you're already helping the planet win. What makes a farmer great including one that allows Mother Nature to do her work and doesn't get in the way of it.   [46:00] Embracing The Journey To Helping Farmers How Farmer's Footprint is helping farmers with whatever point they are at along their life journey. Their roles as bridge builders as they work on finding out what direction they want to go in for the best possible outcome with corporations and investors. How the COVID-19 pandemic has actually helped accelerate their mission dramatically as philanthropic investments are aiding the country. What COVID-19 has done for Farmer's Footprint's mission including pointing out hot spots that need immediate help to bring communities healthier soil, water, and air; plus build a decentralized system that can serve those areas simultaneously. How, as a parent, he is inspiring his children to leave the world a better place than how they found it and what they in return are teaching him about life and the world. What problems younger generations are seeing in the world from their point of view, how they believe they can fix it, and how we can support them. Why young generations are prone to depression and becoming unproductive if we fit them into the old paradigm and tell them they are failing at their goals. The similar approach to parenting like gardening: let the children be who they want to be and allow them to face the obstacles they want to overcome. Farmer's Footprint Screening Toolkit Non-Toxic Neighborhoods Playbook - Farmer's Footprint breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show How We Are Failing One Another   "We are failing to see the value of human life and so we behave as we do. So, of course, all of our mistakes are coming out of the failure of that Golden Rule. If we really loved ourselves then we would treat our neighbors so much more differently. Sadly, whether farmer, physician, patient, chemical company CEO or commodities and crop owner, we're not loving ourselves and so in the end, FarmersFootprint.us is a story about us. It's a story about if we don't start looking at each other's eyes and acknowledging the miracle of life that's within each of us, then we're going to keep making mistakes. There's no scientist that's going to prove our way out of this; it is a fault of valuation and that valuation isn't of a crop or of a soil - it's of the human standing on that soil." - Zach Bush MD   If Children's Health Is So Important...   "If children's health is so important, then why does school food look like school food? If children are important than why does their school look like it does; why does it look like a jail so much of the time? Why do we sequester them away from nature 8 hours a day instead of putting them in nature 8 hours a day? If children are really valuable souls in exquisitely miraculous bodies, why would anybody give them a Coke? Why would anybody hand them a high-fructose corn syrup-laden anything? Why would anybody put them in an environment where they can't connect to the fresh air but one with mold and old HVAC systems and then traffic them Grade D meat that's dying at the time of harvest?" - Zach Bush MD     Solving The Crisis For Human & Planetary Health "If your farm is inundated with weeds and pests, then it's because your rate of repair within that plant system has dissolved, the biophotonic energy within your soil has been depleted but if we regenerate the biophotonic energy within the soil i.e. the relationship between the sun, soil, and plant, with resilience and energy, then we're going to get to this point of extraordinary explosive delivery of health and vitality. The soil will become so vibrant that the plants that grow in it are so resistant to any problems and the weeds that have been terrorizing for two generations are gone within a single season because you've created a biodiverse, biophotonic energy within that soil system. When we talk about organic vs regenerative organic, what we're really looking at is the vitality of life between sun and soil and how can you integrate carbon cycling at all of those levels to speed up the vitality of life within that system. If you do that, not only do you solve for human health crisis but also planetary health crisis." - Zach Bush MD     Links From Today's Show  345 Zach Bush MD ION*Biome 60% Of All The World’s Seed Sales Are Owned By Four Giant Companies Unfortunate Developments In Chemical Food Earl Butz David Leon Kiss The Ground Josh Tickell Soil Health Advocate Training - Kiss The Ground Project Biome Farmer's Footprint Screening Toolkit Non-Toxic Neighborhoods Playbook - Farmer's Footprint Cured Nutrition Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Farmer's Footprint Facebook Instagram Dr. Zach Bush Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube   About Zach Bush MD Zach Bush MD is a physician specializing in internal medicine, endocrinology, and hospice care.

"A study on low-income families showed that just the simple act of eating together with your children for just four meals a week, and it could've been any meal, dramatically protected kids against obesity and disordered eating. These are protective measures that were stimulated and created simply by eating together as a family. Things like this are not being talked about enough in the conversation of food, calorie management, and trying to be healthy. Acts like this are what really make it all special." - Shawn Stevenson   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST* Wellness Force Radio Episode 384 Host of the #1 Rated iTunes Podcast The Model Health Show and Author of both Sleep Smarter and his latest, Eat Smarter, Shawn Stevenson, explains how to stack the odds in your favor with food and sleep, what Food Love Languages are and how they apply to you, the health benefits of families sitting down to eat together and the key takeaways from Eat Smarter.   What is the connection between food and not just physical health but also emotional intelligence?   Join us and discover the power of food to revert your metabolism, upgrade your brain, and transform your life.  ORGANIFI: Easy Organic Superfood Get 20% off of your order with the code WELLNESSFORCE at organifi.com/WELLNESSFORCE   Start the day off right.

Immerse yourself in what Michael Beckwith would call a beloved community of people that support your greatness. It doesn't mean that they cater to you and they tell you that everything is going to be okay all the time. It's more so they create a space for you to grow while giving you some insight and advice but they also challenge you and make you think differently. Get yourself in a community of good people and make that a priority." - Shawn Stevenson   Good Health Is Contagious     "As you grow, then you will start to become a light and source of inspiration for other people and that's what paying it forward really means. There is solid data that health is contagious. A positive frame of mind and solution-oriented thinking and success are all contagious as well. Today, more than ever, you have the power to do your own research, tap in, and learn how to feed your spirit. Make it a mandate to do that every day. Get a positive perimeter set up to simply remind you of your greatness." - Shawn Stevenson     Links From Today's Show  Organifi Eat Smarter by Shawn Stevenson The Model Health Show Can A Mask Really Keep Us Safe? | Shawn Stevenson Sleep Smarter by Shawn Stevenson Dr. Oz Interview - Waist Management, Appetite Control, & Heart-Healthy Foods Discover Your Love Language - The 5 Love Languages Harvard EdCast: The Benefit of Family Mealtime 357 Robb Wolf Elevated BMI Is Associated With Decreased Blood Flow in the Prefrontal Cortex Using SPECT Imaging in Healthy Adults Michael Pollan TMHS 207: Reset Your Genes & Become Younger with Dr. Sara Gottfried Michael Beckwith TMHS 216: Evening Routines that Enhance Sleep, Accelerate Fat Loss & Supercharge Your Brain Sleep Smarter | Shawn Stevenson | Talks at Google TMHS 58: How the Work You Do Impacts Your Health & Happiness with John Lee Dumas TEDxSinCity - Shawn Stevenson - How Chocolate Can Save The World Your Reason Why Needs To Be Bigger Than Yourself Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Shawn Stevenson YouTube Twitter Facebook Instagram   About Shawn Stevenson Shawn Stevenson is one of the most inspirational humans in the health and wellness world.
