Let It In with Guy Lawrence

#205 This week I welcome Matt Omo back to the podcast, and we cover the topic of emotional triggers. At Live in Flow, we value helping people activate their highest potential to succeed, shine, and live more joyfully. With our support, they are able to take powerful, high-road shortcuts to developing their authentic selves and discovering new levels of confidence and impact. And in this episode, Matt Omo and I will be diving into emotional triggers and how to deal with them. As humans, we are wired with emotional hot buttons or emotional triggers. One moment we are fine, then someone says something or something happens to push that hot button, bringing an intense emotional reaction. We become upset. We're thrown off balance. We are unable to think or act irrationally. Not surprisingly, these reactions may be way out of proportion in relation to the actual event. The result? Once we calm down, we usually have regrets about what we did or said. We can cause damage to ourselves and to others. The good news is, Matt and I will be sharing 9 ways you can learn to understand and manage your emotional triggers in healthy ways. And we'll be sharing how we've applied them in our own lives to achieve more harmony and freedom. Don't let your triggers haunt and control your life forever. Listen in to this episode and if you can, take advantage of one of our Live in Flow retreats so you can get the amazing support system you need.

#198 On the morning of my birthday this week, I woke up 5:30am to vertigo. Every time I moved my head the room spun violently. What proceeded was vomit and diarrhea. I was completely floored. Every time I moved there was more vertigo, which then followed with more of the vomiting etc. I'll put the full adventure in a podcast, but the foot notes is that I laid in bed for two days, and I had to fully surrender. I couldn't move, check my phone or reply to messages. Nothing. It felt like a two day and night silent meditation with fasting! Being brought to my knees in a moment was very humbling. Being stripped back to bare bones truly help remind me of what matters. The people you love dearly. The stress of the to do lists, and Christmas quickly fall away. It turned out I had calcium crystal deposits fall into my ear canal, which instantly brings on the vertigo, and there are head body movements you do to work with gravity so they can work their way out. I share this with you simply because I've so many beautiful Birthday wishes that I have been unable to get to…. And that if you find yourself getting caught up in the stress of it all this time of year, take a breath and hug a loved one and see them through your hearts eyes. I wholeheartedly believe there are no accidents and with any adversity that comes our way, if you look close enough the gift will reveal itself. In a strange way it's been a bit of a reset and I'm just grateful for this gift called life and everyone in it. About Guy: He is a coach, speaker, podcaster, wellness advocate and entrepreneur.

#196 My amazing guest today is Tom Paladino. Tom is a researcher and humanitarian whose work focuses on Scalar Energy and its healing effects. During our episode today, we talk about the nature of Scalar Energy, its potentials, and how it can be used as a potential energy source. We also discuss some case studies in which Scalar Energy and Tom's healing devices have had positive effects on the health of humans and animals alike. If you are curious about the direction our future could take in terms of energy, then this is the episode for you. About Tom: Tom Paladino is a researcher and humanitarian seeking to make a difference in the world by providing people with the education and tools to restore optimal health, and by helping enhance their quality of life.

He was also able to study the work of a man name Hieronymus who continued research on Scalar Energy. Hieronymus' major contributions included unbinding the RNA/DNA bonds of microbes plaguing the agricultural industry, thus rendering them harmless. The existence of such energy not found within the electromagnetic spectrum, fascinated Tom.
