386 Mark Groves | Create More Love: How To Deal w/ Breakups, Boundaries, & Beyond

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.

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.

385 Dr. David Rabin | How To Be Emotionally Resilient: Exploring The Impact of Chronic Stress & What To Do About It

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.

Listen To Episode 385 As Dr. David Rabin Uncovers: [1:30] Restore Your Locus Of Control Organifi Dr. David Rabin Apollo Neuro Board of Medicine The mindset he grew up with as a child that it is important to give back to the world and leave it a better place. 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.

"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.

"We might be under the illusion that we're making choices of what we eat on our own free will but if you research, it clearly shows and indicates that what you eat is heavily influenced by how you eat and more interesting with whom you're eating." - Shawn Stevenson in Eat Smarter Find Your Wellness Tribe "Get yourself around good people. 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.

Self-love and loving yourself is not a light switch. You can't wake up one morning and go, 'I'm going to love myself today!' You can still try and do that if you want but old programs and subconscious thoughts in the universe are going to bring you contrast and challenge that belief at all times. That's why the beliefs that aren't challenged are the beliefs that never change. - Josh Trent 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.

Carl Jung The negative emotions of anger, fear, despair, self-hatred is being spread amongst the collective unconscious.

Unpacking why self-love is actually your own choice that is there for you when you are ready. Why you shouldn't force yourself towards any journey unless you truly want to pursue it.

How to defeat evil by focusing on the good instead of feeding it with constant negative thoughts and emotions. Civilized Caveman M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Power Quotes From The Show Self-Love Is A Choice "Self-love is a practice and a choice. Self-love is not something that we can just get inspired to do one day. We can get inspired to start it but it's not a quick switch. The one thing that no one is doing is owning their shit. You have to own it and love it just like you love your partner, your parent, or your sibling. What I've discovered after years of work on this and training is that unless I'm truly living in my body and comfortable in it, no other form of love or healing will come to me. I love where I live in my body because it's all that I have; our bodies are all that any of us actually have." - Josh Trent Breath Will Lead You To Awareness "The breath is the only thing that we can be in communion with and we can control. There's nothing in this world that we can be in communion with and control like the breath. We can't beat our own heart, we can't digest our own food; we just can't. We can control what thoughts we indulge in and we can control how we breathe - that's it. If we can breathe then we can choose but if we can't choose then we're probably not breathing. If we're not breathing right then we're a slave to our emotions and then we're a slave to the people that dangle the puppeteer strings in our society but the breath will lead us to awareness." - Josh Trent The Wellness Journey On Your Terms "The self-love quotient is a daily practice of surrender and awareness. That sounds super-advanced but it's not; actually, it's really simple but again, it's not easy. The reason why daily practice and awareness are so challenging is because life is very complex and complicated. We might have our whole healing modality planned out for three quarters and have everything listed on a paper and how we're going to heal and love ourselves and then your kid throws up on your lap or your son gets in an accident or you lose a job. Anytime I've ever had a monstrosity of challenge, it's the universe forcing me to grow or retract and there's no shame in that either. You make the change to love yourself in a daily practice of surrender and awareness because you're ready; not when I or anyone else says you're ready." - Josh Trent Links From Today's Show BREATHE: Breath and Wellness Program Cured Nutrition NoBS Wellness Podcast | Episode 51: Self-Love is A Practice & A Choice 032 Gay Hendricks Alan Watts David R.

382 Stefanos Sifandos | What Inner Work Actually Is: Exploring Ego Death, Health Freedom & The Scale of Awareness

When I say, 'Do your inner work,' it's in real life and real-time but it's also taking responsibility for your sovereignty. Have a disciplined breath practice in the morning or maybe have a reflective practice at the end of the day to sit with yourself for ten minutes in stillness and silence to think about it. Ask yourself, 'What could I have done better?', 'Could I have treated people differently?', 'How did I speak to myself today?', and pause so that the likelihood of that playing out in real-time when you’re in a more reactive state is going to be higher. - Stefanos Sifandos 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.

Why men lack ownership and responsibility to see themselves as enough when they turn to others, especially their partners, to give them that feedback.

Unpacking the different eras of men and masculinity over the last century including the industrial and agricultural revolutions and how that has impacted fathers and their children.

The motivation Stefanos had to spend days out in nature to come back to himself and his relationship with the earth. 364 Alison Armstrong Keys to The Kingdom by Alison Armstrong Exploring the different stages of manhood including the Prince Phase when men are deeply integrating and building their kingdom. Why men will naturally go in and out of different manhood stages along their journey and where Stefanos and Josh are currently at.

Why there will always be a middle way during our own journeys and there will never be peace in the world because life is like a pendulum. How the experiences that we have, positive and negative, lead us to perceive the quality of our life. Why we shouldn't be asking the question, "How do I find inner peace?" because it's an allusion. The mindset hijacking that the mass media does by constantly putting out negative headlines each day. Why we get caught in the idea that if we have this and that, then we can stop the war inside of ourselves and will be fulfilled. Exploring the alternate fuel source that won't lead us down a path of continued co-dependency. Why answering the question, "What do I need to feel safe?", can actually be overwhelming for some people. How to bring yourself back into the present moment to help you figure out what you need to feel safe enough. [1:13:00] Death To The Ego What happens when we find ourselves in an undesirable state of being including spiritual bypassing. How we can keep ourselves from falling prey to the toxic mindset of good vibes only. Why we tend to always stay the course when we've made a decision instead of making changes which is the ultimate ego death. The choice we always have to drop our old identity, ways of thinking, and ways of being but it will come with pain. Why we cannot dissolve the ego and become someone new unless we integrate the shadow work as well. How Josh's stance on Ayahuasca has shifted and why he's no longer an advocate for it. Why you have to do the deep work in a familiar state of consciousness with breathwork and meditation before doing it in unfamiliar states of consciousness using plant medicine and psychedelics.

Why Josh had to do a year and a half of PTSD recovery after an Ayahuasca ceremony.

Why community and surrounding yourself with other men that support and challenge you are so important to help you grow. The difference between meeting with your community in person compared to a Zoom call and why a digital connection does not have the same energetic response. How fear is being multiplied on fear as government officials are releasing statements such as, "If you have to sing, wear a mask, and don't sing too loud." The mass media narrative right now that wants to divide society when the very thing we need is to be an embodied community. Exploring the choice we have right now: We can feed the fear or do our own research on what's going on. 361 Luke Storey The fact that we humans have been born from bacteria and viruses; we have also survived because of bacteria and viruses. Different thresholds of fear that we all move through and how we can do the inner work and investigate why we are afraid. The personal, emotional struggles he has gone through and what he realized about his negative feelings that has helped him through COVID-19 regulations. Why wearing a face mask and breathing in your own carbon monoxide on a repeated basis is not healthy. 353 Dr. Ben Lynch 344 Leslie Manookian 348 Dr. William Li 1:31:30 Standing Up For Our Health Freedom Breaking down and answering the question: How long will it take until we stand up for our health freedom and rights? Why things will have to get worse before we are no longer complacent with what is happening in our world because of the coronavirus. Where the collective consciousness is right now and why we have to experience more pain to transform and transmute. How our nervous system has been hijacked as we are forced into fear with the COVID-19 slogan, 'Stay Safe.' Why the truth about what is going on with COVID-19 and its agenda is actually very clear when you do the research and look at the data. CV19 Truth Series: Protecting Your Health Freedom Why courage is something that we can never embody unless we actually lean into it and practice it. What he loves and doesn't like about the app, TikTok. Further exploring what it takes to be a good man in today's modern age and why it's up to you to figure that out on your own during your life's journey. Ben Greenfield Boundless by Ben Greenfield Why being present and mindful of your thoughts, actions, and what actually matters to you can bring extraordinary wellness into your life. breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Power Quotes From The Show What Happens When You Give Your Power Away “We need to do our inner work and it leads back to the 5 Tactical Virtues - Strength, Courage, Mastery, Honor, and Connectivity so that we can achieve sovereign empowerment. We need to take responsibility for ourselves because the moment we say it’s someone else’s responsibility or we blame someone for something like not feeling a particular way or experiencing life in the way that we want to experience life, we disempower ourselves and we give our power away. That does either one of two things; we either retract from the world or we lash out in the world." - Stefanos Sifandos Navigating The Shadow Way "The shadow way is about intimacy and relationships. It’s about how you give and receive love. It’s about whether you’re allowing people in and surrendering to that or you are too scared of love because you’re afraid of loss." - Stefanos Sifandos Do Something That Scares You Every Day "Do something that scares you every day and I'm not suggesting you go put your life at risk but at what point do you draw the line? We're all going to have to move through different fears and thresholds; some of which are higher than others. I call it the elastic band effect. Your elastic band or tolerance might be longer or shorter in some areas compared to how it is for other people but eventually it will snap. So you want to bring yourself to the place right before it snaps because that's your edge and then peak over. If you have a deep fear of physical contact, for example, that's a great opportunity for you to look into that and what it actually means." - Stefanos Sifandos Links From Today's Show The Conscious Warrior Reclaim Your Kingdom Chaos To Clarity Be The Queen Energy Healing Program Conscious Mentorship with Stefanos Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Stefanos Sifandos Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube TikTok LinkedIn Pinterest About Stefanos Sifandos Stefanos Sifandos has been immersed in deep men’s empowerment work and the exploration of intimate and sacred relationships.

How I approach the world? How I relate to the world? How I connect to the world? If the answer is, 'no,' then I just keep trying because that's my ultimate goal. That's the beauty of the world of health and wellness. There is 'mastery' but it can never be mastered because it's always changing." - Aleks Rybchinskiy How Inner Work Helps Parents Raise Children "Children are their own separate entities that parents are in charge of until they grow up and hopefully you're guiding them properly so they can relate to the world, contribute to the world, feel happiness, and know how to process their anger and sadness. For me, I've had to take a really hard look at myself to know where I need help so that I can show my children how it's done. Kids don't listen to what you say, they watch what you do and then do that." - Aleks Rybchinskiy Links From Today's Show CURED Nutrition Organifi Primal Fusion Programs at Primal Fusion CHEK Institute 268 Sara Gustafson Living 4D Podcast – Sara Gustafson and Aleks Rybchinskiy: The Journey of Relationship EmBodhiment of We Webinar: Relationship Management Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Aleks Rybchinskiy Facebook Instagram YouTube Twitter About Aleks Rybchinskiy Aleks is a Master CHEK Practitioner and Holistic Therapist with over ten years in the field.

The results take a back seat for a minute so that you can learn to fall in love with the process. You do the process because you actually love yourself and you deserve to feel good and feel healthy. Once you flip that switch, you will see the results because you are living a healthy lifestyle that consistently operates from a place of self-love." - Drew Manning The Emotional Journey To Physical Transformation "There's really no better way to take care of yourself than to take care of your physical health but you could do any program, diet, or take any supplement out there. That's not what's going to fix what's going on the inside emotionally, right? I will give you those tools to make physical change happen but the biggest thing that has to happen is that mindset shift. That's where people don't really understand or know how to do that because they look at physical transformation as just physical. And, yes, if you break it down, yes, you eat fewer calories, you work out, and that changes your body but it's so much more of an emotional journey for people and that's what derails them because when doing the process gets too hard then they won't see taking care of their health really worth it. Making that shift in perception is really key so that they don't see living a healthy lifestyle as a punishment or a chore to get results and be happy." - Drew Manning What True Health Success Looks Like "The biggest thing that I'm trying to do is shift people's perception of what success looks like in the health and fitness industry because we've been programmed to think that success is this body of an Instagram model or this athlete or that celebrity. It's this focus of getting lean, skinny, and 5% body fat; and that once you get there, once you get that body, then all of your problems will go away and you'll be happy. But if you're not fulfilled on the inside first and foremost, I promise you that once you get the body, you're still going to be missing something." - Drew Manning Links From Today's Show Fit2Fat2Fit by Drew Manning 131 Drew Manning: Discipline, Ketosis, & Emotional Fitness 291 Drew Manning: Lessons Learned From Running 100 Miles To Save Children Fit2Fat2Forty Back2Fit 345 Dr. Zach Bush Braving the Wilderness by Brené Brown The Nutty Professor Trailer Kathryn Dixon Paul Chek | All Is God: Three Part Series Dr. Gabor Maté Eckhart Tolle Loving What Is: How Four Questions Can Change Your Life by Byron Katie Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Fit2Fat2Fit Facebook YouTube Drew Manning Facebook Instagram Twitter About Drew Manning Health and fitness expert, Drew Manning, is the New York Times best-selling author of Fit2Fat2Fit: The Unexpected Lessons from Gaining and Losing 75 lbs on Purpose and has for years been a leading voice in the burgeoning Keto Diet movement.
