Human Design is like an experiment. You have to play with it a little bit, find out what happens when you play with it or pay attention to your gut and build it like a muscle. You have to trust your unique Human Design and see where it can lead you." - Erin Claire Jones   The Magic of Language in Human Design "What is magical about Human Design is that it basically gives us a language to understand all of this energetic stuff that's underneath the surface. So, often when I'm telling people what their design is, it's not something that they don't know already but they've never had a language before to actually express it. Human Design gives people a framework and a structure of how they operate and to communicate about it. You can imagine how helpful that is in teams and partnerships when you know exactly when that's happening. When there are friction and conflict, you now have something to reference back to and understand what is happening." - Erin Claire Jones   Getting Out Of Our Heads & Into Our Bodies   "So much of Human Design is basically getting ourselves out of our heads and into our bodies because our minds are so powerful but often not reliable in terms of making decisions.

How to let go of being frightened of "what if" something will happen and truly start living. 032 Gay and Katie Hendricks  Why we sometimes have to experience the most difficult moments that life can offer us in order to change, grow, and life live well. Business struggles he and his brother have experienced as entrepreneurs and karmic lessons he has learned from it.

The trend he notices about very wealthy people and why they try to stack away more and more wealth to preserve it all rather than to grow it. Why the only thing that truly matters is the good that we do in the world and not how much money we make. What abundance and worth truly mean to the universe.

Why you have to embody and love the way you feel from moving, eating well, and caring for yourself to create this energy that allows you to let go of the weight. Josh's own weight loss journey and how he started off on the wrong foot by counting calories and macronutrients until he finally loved himself and did the inner work. How to cultivate the self-love you deserve in the moment whenever you need it the most. The fact that we will be challenged to keep up with our raised vibrations and it's okay if we don't have a positive attitude every day (46:15)   48:00 Authenticity & Vulnerability Are Our Super Powers Why Brandon launched the Positive Head Podcast to help manage his own vibration and process his negative emotions. How Brandon works through negative feelings to better understand himself and let those emotions go. The power of loving whatever thoughts or emotions arise during your inner work. How Josh uncovered the true mission of Wellness Force Media and his purpose for it. Josh's own process to make peace with himself and who he was in the past.

Life is NOT a Journey - Alan Watts Interstellar trailer Why he believes that our lives play out at the corners of free will and destiny. (1:03:40) Why no one can predict your future; there are probabilities but we have free will. (1:07:00) His idea that our lives are playing out here now but also on many different channels in other dimensions. Our roles as masters and students in our own reality. (1:08:30) Why our life lessons and various experiences, good or bad, are teaching us every day to become the next best version of ourselves. (1:10:30) 1:12:00 Narcissism & Spiritual Bypassing Explanation of the Jesus Complex when people tap into this truth that they are the one due to spiritual bypassing and they're forgetting that so is everyone else. How narcissism blocks us from observing and loving the imperfections because we're so focused on perfectionism. Social media's constant feed to the narcissism collective and the awareness we get to have of its darkness. The deep wounds and incredible experiences that are being created at the same time and our quest for why they happen. (1:11:30) 1:19:40 Life Is Happening For You, Not To You Why everything that happens to us is happening for love and that everything is going to be okay. How society has been built up to glorify war and all of this loss that people are willing to or have to suffer. The loss we all go through and that feeling of sadness that allows us to connect with other people. (1:17:00) Inside Out trailer Why the sense of community is now more powerful than ever with abject poverty, war, and climate change. What incredible change can happen when we all commit to mindfulness and supporting each other. Why the more you know, the more you realize you don't actually know. (1:19:00) Dr. Erica Middlemiss Dr. Joe Dispenza The M21 Wellness Guide Positive Head Podcast #271: Cory Allen Power Quotes From The Show Observing Thoughts & Emotions In A Healthy Manner "Understand that there will be peaks and valleys throughout your lifetime; you just can't have one without the other. When you know that you're in a valley, then you can navigate it in a way that's the most effective as opposed to getting lost in the darkness. Give your thoughts and emotions their space, observe them, allow them to pass by, and do whatever you can to just gently find your way out of it but never by forcing, masking, or holding them down." - Brandon Beachum The Positive Side Of Relationships Ending "All relationships have the purpose of growth and the idea that one has to last forever in order to be successful is a big misconception that permeates our collective consciousness. You are going to come together with different energies for all of eternity and thank goodness there is some shelf-life to all of them. Whether you spend a whole lifetime together or 5 weeks or 5 days, that separation gives us the opportunity to miss the relationship and have gratitude for it. You never truly lose anyone or anything. Honor that relationship, know that you are infinitely abundant and the universe will send whatever else you need." - Brandon Beachum Experiencing Life Fully Through Love, Wonder, And Pain "God is using all of these 'painful experiences' for love in the end. Wholeheartedly, we will or already have experienced every type of love, wonder, or pain in our lifetimes. That's the game, I believe, that our soul signed up for; it signed up to go down the deep rabbit hole of contrast so that it could fully appreciate who and what we are in this life. Understanding that helps us realize that it's all going to be okay in the end. We are not victims because everything that we experience is not happening to us but for us. Life is not happening to you, it is always, always, and always happening for you."- Brandon Beachum Links From Today's Show LIFEAID CBD 303 Aaron Hinde The Celestine Prophecy: An Adventure by James Redfield Buckminster Fuller 096 Daniel Schmachtenberger Alan Watts 032 Gay and Katie Hendricks  Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife by Dr. Eben Alexander III Whatever Arises, Love That: A Love Revolution That Begins with You by Matt Kahn Michael Beckwith Life is NOT a Journey - Alan Watts Interstellar trailer Inside Out trailer Dr. Erica Middlemiss Dr. Joe Dispenza The M21 Wellness Guide Positive Head Podcast #271: Cory Allen Mystic Manor Optimystic Instagram Positive Head podcast Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Brandon Beachum Facebook Twitter Instagram LinkedIn About Brandon Beachum Brandon Beachum is a podcaster, entrepreneur, writer, musician, philosopher, and truth-seeker. He originally made his way to California from the east coast when his former band received a development deal with Elektra Records back in 2001. Brandon has been a serial entrepreneur since childhood and in 2010, while living on a friend’s couch, he founded what is now his first recognizably successful company, ResortShare. In August of 2015, ResortShare was named the 569th fastest-growing private company in America in the annual Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list. In October 2015 ResortShare received an offer to be bought out for $30 million dollars by a publicly-traded company, but within 12 hours of receiving the offer, they lost 90% of their revenue stream due to an exclusive arrangement a major partner (Booking.com) signed with a much larger competitor. Brandon learned some great life lessons through this hardship and throughout his experience at ResortShare and is now focusing on various other projects. (Positive Head, HelloVacay.com, Sesh.io) The Ultimate Nature Of Reality Since discussing and continually exploring what he refers to as “The Ultimate Nature of Reality” is something he feels called very strongly to do, he decided that launching a podcast would be the best avenue to pursue his calling and to help bring that increasingly popular topic of conversation to a broader audience. So in May 2015, he launched PositiveHead.com and The Positive Head Podcast. The show’s aim is to help listeners consistently maintain elevated vibration. In an effort to help the listeners achieve that aim, every Wednesday he interviews a different author, director, artist, blogger, scientist, entrepreneur or other notable personality who is out there making a positive impact on the world. He has been extremely fortunate to have the privilege to interview some amazing and highly-respected guests in the very first year of his show (i.e. Dr. Eben Alexander, Marian Goodell, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Nassim Haramein). Brandon's Dedication To Better Wellness On the other weekdays, Brandon and his co-host Dalien give interpretations of their favorite quotes, share a bit of mind-expanding or mysterious news, take questions from the audience, and dig into any other mind-expansive topics that they feel will help keep the listeners’ souls fed on a regular basis. The Positive Head Podcast has continued to experience exponential growth and was featured in the “New & Noteworthy” section on iTunes within weeks of being launched, and is currently listed in the “What’s Hot” section on iTunes in multiple categories. Brandon is also currently in the process of writing his first two books, The Fountain of You: How the marriage of science and spirituality is birthing us into the age of timelessness and The Talk: A wakeup call for those ready to re-member.

We see the primal, wild side of us that we all want to let out but sometimes we go out of balance. The pendulum swings both ways; if you have absolute wellness and then absolute debauchery on the other end, you might want to keep it balanced. We live in big cities with 5G, pollution, and other hazardous elements that we have to deal with while also moving forward. So, walk the razor's edge and do the best you can. - Troy Casey What does it mean to be a man in the modern world?   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 314 Creator and CEO of Certified Health Nut, International Speaker, and C.H.E.K Institute Specialist, Troy Casey, shares his favorite tips for living a balanced life well and what lessons he has learned thus far including the power of forgiveness.

M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Power Quotes From The Show What Fuels Troy's Soul "I stopped caring about what other people think and started focusing on what feeds my soul. What feeds my soul is being as naked as possible in the sun, being as barefoot and grounded with the earth as much as possible, and moving my body most of the day. My fuel is organic food, good water, and damn good sleep. I need to get my mind right if I'm using Wi-Fi and electricity is all around me. I need to be balanced in this world and so I put all of those elements first otherwise the worst part of me comes out. This is not only about balance, but self-medication through our natural environment." - Troy Casey Letting Our Primal Selves Shine "Every single person has that wild animal inside of them and they want to let it out whether that's through intimacy or letting themselves grow a beard. Everyone just wants to let themselves be free, hang out, and be themselves." - Troy Casey   The Power Of Forgiveness "All is forgiven. Period. Forever. If I forget that, remind me. I used to be an angry guy so if someone shows that side of themselves to me, I remember that and forgive them. Even if things don't work out in business or relationships, things are still forgiven." - Troy Casey   Links From Today's Show Cured Nutrition C.H.E.K Institute Bulletproof Conference Leave Wellness Force a review  Scott Peterson of Refugio Altiplano City Slickers trailer Leonard Orr rebirthing practices 311 Mark Wolynn 275 Paul Chek David Deida Tony Robbins Rev Michael Beckwith  Kim Stanwood Terranova Breath As Prayer | Gwen Payne Erin Claire Jones M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Troy Casey Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Certified Health Nut Facebook YouTube About Troy Casey Leading Longevity Authority, Troy Casey, Certified Health Nut, has successfully restored physical, mental and emotional balance to clients who have failed with all other systems.

Because really what you what don't know about is fear, doubt, worry, or programming. In comparison, the abundant thinker will say, 'Well, I don't know what I don't know but I know enough and it feels right and I'm just going to do it. If it doesn't work out, that's okay.' Trusting that is really the key to purpose; it's about letting go of thinking that you have it all figured out and that it has to be perfect or it has to be right. That's the programming." - Brett Kaufman   Reframing The Mind For Love   "If I just knew then what I know now about being a parent, a husband, and an entrepreneur, I wish I would have really just focused on love as the most elevated, most important key ingredient in life. That means you love your kids, your wife, yourself, and just all of it with no exception. When you make love the most important factor in your life, it shifts you into this profound, embodiment way of being. When you focus on love, you can enter into a deep mindset so that when you're in a difficult situation, you can reframe what is happening." - Brett Kaufman       A Life Of Fulfillment Through Service To Others   "When it comes to finding your purpose, what you're really after is this life of fulfillment. Service to other people and this world is actually a really important part of that self-fulfillment factor. Giving and serving others is what the world needs. We need more people, organizations, and companies both for-profit and not that are aiming at trying to make a difference in the world." - Brett Kaufman   Links From Today's Show M21 Guide Crate Media 275 Paul Chek 289 Mike Koenigs 129 Gretchen Rubin 183 Dr. Kyra Bobinet Organifi Leave Wellness Force a review Christopher Celeste This New Wellness Community Was Built With Mental Health In Mind Landmark Forum 250 Dave Asprey Upgrade Labs Cured Nutrition Oura ring 110 Bedros Keuilian Lessons from the Successes of Steve Jobs: Focus, Focus Focus Dan Sullivan Strategic Coach 137 Dr. Tim Brown Can Our Environment Dictate Our Mental Health?

The Inevitable by Kevin Kelly Click here to get your copy of The Inevitable by Kevin Kelly A New York Times Bestseller from one of our leading technology thinkers and writers, a guide through the twelve technological imperatives that will shape the next thirty years and transform our lives. Much of what will happen in the next thirty years is inevitable, driven by technological trends that are already in motion. In this fascinating, provocative new book, Kevin Kelly provides an optimistic road map for the future, showing how the coming changes in our lives—from virtual reality in the home to an on-demand economy to artificial intelligence embedded in everything we manufacture—can be understood as the result of a few long-term, accelerating forces. Kelly both describes these deep trends—interacting, cognifying, flowing, screening, accessing, sharing, filtering, remixing, tracking, and questioning—and demonstrates how they overlap and are codependent on one another. The 12 Technological Forces These larger forces will completely revolutionize the way we buy, work, learn, and communicate with each other. By understanding and embracing them, says Kelly, it will be easier for us to remain on top of the coming wave of changes and to arrange our day-to-day relationships with technology in ways that bring forth maximum benefits. Kelly’s bright, hopeful book will be indispensable to anyone who seeks guidance on where their business, industry, or life is heading—what to invent, where to work, in what to invest, how to better reach customers, and what to begin to put into place—as this new world emerges.   Listen To Episode 312 As Kevin Kelly Uncovers: 1:30 The Future Of Humanity And AI WIRED magazine Cool Tools podcast The Inevitable by Kevin Kelly Cool Tools website Kevin Kelly The Technium M21 Organifi Kevin's background before he launched WIRED and what inspires his work today.

Why our own ethics are very inconsistent and we excuse each other's mistakes compared to not giving a pass to technology. How to go deeper and understand why we act and treat ourselves and others the way we do. (15:00) 275 Paul Chek 16:00 What Nature Can Teach Us About AI His book, The Inevitable, and the 12 larger, technological forces that will completely revolutionize the way we buy, work, learn, and communicate with each other. Why inventors like Thomas Edison didn't even know what use their inventions would be for us and their impact on society. The fact that it can take as long as up to a generation for us to fully decide what use a piece of technology is to the world. Why the only way to understand the impact of technology and whether it will be good or bad is through the embrace and use of it. How to properly decide if the cons of a piece of technology outweigh the pros.

Why technology is actually a reflection of the divine. The old technology we still use as a vital part of our society from concrete and paving to plumbing. His out-of-body experiences during a dentist visit and later with taking LSD as a sacrament on his 50th birthday. (44:20) What he learned from taking LSD including that we are all connected and supported. 46:00 The Ying-Yang of Technology The fact that most of our future problems are with technology are going to come from the technology of today. Why we should aim to improve and revamp technology as soon as we find a problem instead of completely dismissing it and seeing it as something bad. His belief that we cannot make a world in the future until we visualize it and all its technological improvements first now in the present. The power of solving old problems with new technology in order to move forward. (48:00) Power Quotes From The Show Our Small Contribution To The Universe   "The difference between living systems and artificial systems are very small. When we're inventing new technology, even if they're consumables that will be thrown away, we are participating in a very long arc through the universe of these increasing choices and possibilities; the same thing that evolution and life are doing. So, we're part of something bigger when we make and invent things. Technology is a big thing; it has a spiritual dimension."  - Kevin Kelly   When To Embrace Or Let Go Of Technology "The only way to understand how technology is used for the greater good and find out what its bad parts are is through the use of it. That's why I preach this embrace of technology but we should also be quick to let it go or change it as we see fit. This stance of initial embracing technology and then reworking, adjusting, and revamping it is the pattern we're going to have forever. Instead of immediately rejecting technology, let's bring it on and see what it's actually good for in the world."  - Kevin Kelly   We Are The Creators & The Created "There is a fundamental contradiction and tension between the fact that we individual humans are both The Masters of what we create and The Created at the same time. So, as we make the tools, the tools make us. We are both the parent and the child of technology. Even in a thousand years, we will still be struggling with the fact that we are two-faced; we are both the master and slave to technology."  - Kevin Kelly   Links From Today's Show The Technium M21 Organifi 275 Paul Chek Wired Interviews Bill Gates 1996 The Origins of Cool Tools: Kevin Kelly in Conversation with Stewart Brand The Technium And The 7Th Kingdom Of Life 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape The Future Cool Tools podcast  WIRED magazine Cool Tools website The Inevitable by Kevin Kelly Kevin Kelly Facebook Twitter YouTube   About Kevin Kelly Kevin Kelly is Senior Maverick at Wired magazine.

When a trauma happens, it changes us. Literally, it causes a chemical change in our DNA. The best way to say it is we're born into fears, feelings, anxieties, and depressions that aren't ours. We do not enter the world with a clean hard drive; there is an operating system that's already taking place containing the fallout of our parents', grandparents', and maybe even great-grandparents' traumas. We're born in the dark with thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that we can't explain. - Mark Wolynn What if your thoughts, reactions, and even just ways of being aren't even yours but just parts of your family's history that you have inherited?   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 311 Director of The Family Constellation Institute, The Inherited Trauma Institute and The Hellinger Institute of Northern California, and Author of It Didn't Start with You, Mark Wolynn, is North America’s leader in Inherited Family Trauma.

Anxiety. Chronic Pain. Phobias. Obsessive thoughts. The evidence is compelling: the roots of these difficulties may not reside in our immediate life experience or in chemical imbalances in our brains—but in the lives of our parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. The latest scientific research, now making headlines, supports what many have long intuited—that traumatic experience can be passed down through generations. What You Will Learn It Didn’t Start with You builds on the work of leading experts in post-traumatic stress, including Mount Sinai School of Medicine neuroscientist Rachel Yehuda and psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score. Even if the person who suffered the original trauma has died, or the story has been forgotten or silenced, memory and feelings can live on. These emotional legacies are often hidden, encoded in everything from gene expression to everyday language, and they play a far greater role in our emotional and physical health than has ever before been understood.

The Wellness Force M21 Guide Wellness Force Community on Facebook Power Quotes From The Show Uncovering Our Trauma Language "I find that when a trauma happens, there's something else that goes on; trauma language is left which we also carry with us. Clues after a trauma are left behind in the emotionally charged words and sentences. This leaves behind a bread crumb trail and if we know how to follow it, it'll lead us to the missing piece of the picture that finally gives us context for why we feel, think, and act the way we do." - Mark Wolynn Shaking The Family Tree "We've got to shake the family tree and see what falls out. We have to find out what stories have never been told, what secrets were hidden, and what traumas were never fully healed. Then, we have to do our own healing work, understand how we're reliving those traumas, and what we can do to bring strength and peace to ourselves and future generations."  - Mark Wolynn The Residue From Traumatic Events "Just as we inherit eye color and blood type, we also inherit the residue from traumatic events." - Mark Wolynn Links From Today's Show Cured Nutrition 302 Mark Groves Alan Watts Bruce Lipton Bert Hellinger The Wellness Force M21 Guide Wellness Force Community on Facebook Three Generations of Family History - Inherited Family Trauma Creating an Inherited Family Traumagram The Legacy of Unfinished Business The Family Constellation Institute, The Inherited Trauma Institute The Hellinger Institute of Northern California It Didn't Start With You Mark Wolynn Facebook Instagram Twitter About Mark Wolynn Director of The Family Constellation Institute, The Inherited Trauma Institute and The Hellinger Institute of Northern California, Mark Wolynn is North America’s leader in Inherited Family Trauma.

(54:20)   Power Quotes From The Show   Fear Is Just A Feeling "Through my meditation practice, I was able to recognize that every time I was experiencing fear, it was really just my body generating an emotional reaction. Fear is just a feeling and something that I won't allow to rule over me." - Ariel Garten   What Meditators Can Learn About Their Emotions "As a meditator, what you learn is that emotional experiences rise and they move. So, for a non-meditator, an emotional experience can feel very overwhelming and thus they try to not have emotional experiences because they don't want to be overwhelmed by them. As a meditator, what you learn is to sit with the physiological experience of a feeling without creating a dialogue around it." - Ariel Garten   Facing Fear Head On "When I made myself do the things that I was afraid of and felt the fear that was associated with it, I realized that I was fine once that emotion washed over me. Fear is just a feeling and it has no power of you. If you want to break through the fear, you can. Ultimately, I believe all of us want to do just that - to break through the fear of our lives. When you start to do it, you realize that it's really not scary at all; we've just built up a bunch of stories around it that made it feel scary." - Ariel Garten   Links From Today's Show Ariel Garten Get 20% off of your Muse purchase with code "JOSH20" 011 Beyond Meditation: How To Get A Better Brain With Ariel Garten Organifi 235 Drew Canole Awakened Futures Summit Leave Wellness Force a review  Rumi 302 Mark Groves Attached by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan NCBI PubMed - Meditation leads to reduced default mode network activity beyond an active task. 292 Pavel Stuchlik 290 Dan Brulé Research Projects Involving Muse A Study of a Mindfulness-Based Intervention with a Wearable Wellness Brain Sensing Device in Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Surgery Jordan Peterson Women && Tech - Ariel Garten Exponential Medicine - Ariel Garten Untangle Podcast - Ariel Garten: Your Brain On Meditation Michael Pollan | Dissolving the Default Mode Network Know Your Brain: Default Mode Network The meaning of freedom | Ariel Garten | TEDxGatewayWomen Ariel Garten Facebook Instagram Twitter Muse Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube   About Ariel Garten Ariel Garten is a neuroscientist, innovator, and entrepreneur whose driving purpose is to empower and help others overcome mental obstacles in order to live healthy, happy lives and reach their maximum potential.

You have to go and love the part that feels unworthy. How do you move from unworthiness to worthiness? You bring your love, heart, and compassion." - Agapi Stassinopoulos   Your Soul's Calling "The reason why I have so much compassion now for anybody who says, 'I don't feel like I know my place in the world. I don't feel like I belong. I feel like a stranger in a strange land.' So, I tell them, 'My darling, let me tell you how that is the case for most of us. If you really think that people get up in the morning and feel like they belong in this world, there are very rare cases of that and God bless them if they feel that way. 99% of people walk around feeling amiss, feeling like they're not enough, and feeling the human condition. For me, my awareness was basically my soul had a calling to be here and to find itself without the man, the children, or a successful career. My soul had a calling to find it in the universality of its immense love and then my heart opened up."  - Agapi Stassinopoulos   Exploring Our Divine Intelligence "We have 37.2 trillion cells give or take that are giving us life in this moment. So, the fact that we all have Divine Intelligence and that we are more than our personalities, egos, or unique selves. When we go deep inside of ourselves in a meditative state, we can see that we are the ocean of love and mercy. We are the divine, the spirit, and the soul. And you do have a personality, a history, and your inner child but that all becomes part of your human experience. So, how you get to own that is to know that you are worthy of the love of the Divine that is your cells and the worthiness of that takes courage." - Agapi Stassinopoulos   Links From Today's Show 250 Dave Asprey Upgrade Labs Organifi Leave Wellness Force Radio a review Arianna Huffington HuffPost Thrive Global Byron Katie John-Roger Unbinding the Heart by Agapi Stassinopoulos Conversations with the Goddesses: Revealing the Divine Power Within You by Agapi Stassinopoulos Ram Dass Ram Dass, Becoming Nobody | Official Trailer Rumi M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Wake Up to the Joy of You by Agapi Stassinopoulos The Meditations by Agapi Stassinopoulos - Meditation on Awakening Your Joy Agapi Stassinopoulos Facebook Instagram Twitter   About Agapi Stassinopoulos Agapi Stassinopoulos a best-selling author and speaker who inspires audiences around the world.

(56:00) 275 Paul Chek  Byron Katie HeartMath Dr. Jade Teta Why struggling and becoming a new version of yourself is all part of being human (1:08:20) M21 Wellness Guide     Power Quotes From The Show   The Simple Foundation of Good Health "Diet, exercise and all of these traditional ways of wellness do matter but they may be secondary to something way more foundational. So, in my SuperWellness class, we look at all basic aspects of health that are almost too obvious that people just skip right over them. Some of them are so simple, so free, so crazy obvious that we take them for granted. Since we take them for granted, we don't do them, and thus don't see the results. We're never going to see a TV ad reminding us to turn off the television, go outside, and get some fresh air. That's never going to happen; who's going to make money off of you being so independent and self-empowered in your own wellness?" - Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan     How To Crowd Out The Bad Habits "Practice nourishing yourself the right way and as a side effect, you will crowd out the bad habits. Focus on nourishing yourself with all of those delicious things like love and hugs but also breathwork, sunshine, sleeping properly in complete darkness, drinking the right kind of water; not just the quantity but quality of water. All of these good habits will crowd out the necessity to eat junk foods and live by other poor behaviors." - Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan     The Power of Mindful Eating "When we tell people to lighten up on all levels of wellness, the first thought that comes to mind is portion control. Well, what if I tell you that you don't have to control so much? What if you naturally lightened up as a side effect of bringing a different level of presence and mindfulness to your eating. Just even eating in a state of joy and gratitude; slowing down, chewing your food, and savoring it properly. As a side effect of that, you'll naturally eat less and be way more satiated. What if you just focused on slowing down, savoring, and enjoying your food instead of having to be so rigid and militant about it. How are your eating habits weighing you down now and how can you lighten them up?" - Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan       Links From Today's Show Cured Nutrition 300 Special Edition: Top Lessons Learned From 300+ Shows Organifi Leave Wellness Force Radio a review Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan SuperWellness Wim Hof Dr. Michelle Robin 6-WEEK SuperWellness Program LIVE online series Inflammation: The Common Pathway of Stress-Related Diseases  Dr. Gerald Pollack Masaru Emoto 290 Dan Brulé 275 Paul Chek  Byron Katie HeartMath Dr. Jade Teta M21 Wellness Guide The Dr. E Show podcast SuperWellness: Become Your Own Best Healer The School of Dan Tian Wellness Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan Facebook Instagram LinkedIn YouTube   About Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan is a Holistic Chinese Medicine Doctor, author, speaker, and coach who has devoted her life to unlocking the secrets of our human potential.
