You-est You®: Redefining Intuition, Spirituality, Consciousness & Healing

Meet Yanik Silver Yanik Silver has been called a Cosmic Catalyst, a Maverick Mischief-maker, and a Galactic Goofball. He redefines how business is played in the 21st century at the intersection of evolutionary growth, impact, and fun. Yanik is the creator of the Cosmic Journal, author of Evolved Enterprise, and the founder of Maverick1000, a global collective of visionary entrepreneurs making a serious difference in the world without taking themselves too seriously. In fact, it's not unusual to find him dressed as a lemur, a showgirl, or even in matching mermaid tails with Sir Richard Branson. Yanik believes we all have our own "Cosmic Alarm Clock" that goes off at exactly the right time to fulfill our destiny of greatness. It starts as a whisper, a small voice that gets louder and louder until you either answer it or hit snooze. He has spent his life exploring that connection of head, heart, and highest purpose…with his colored pens in hand. It might have all started when he snuck out at age 5 to buy markers—only to catch the wrong bus home and end up at the police station. (Undaunted, his love of doodling and exploring still continues to this day!) Get ready for a cosmic conversation that transversed time, space, and anything ordinary. We set the intention for this chat to be purposeful, playful, and profitable, meaning that by listening and getting inspired by the different questions and ideas shared, you will be more connected to your purpose, deep joy of play, and by following your inner guidance, more profitable. Yanik Silver left Russia when he was three years old and watched as his father went from having a few hundred dollars to becoming a successful entrepreneur making a real impact in the world. He learned from growing up in an entrepreneurial environment how to turn ideas into businesses and meaningful work. Here are some of the highlights from our talk that I think will benefit you, whether you are an entrepreneur or hoping to tap more deeply into your soul's gifts. Questions Create Your Answers One of the biggest takeaways from our talk is the importance of asking questions that are going to expand your way of thinking and overall consciousness. Definitely check out Yanik's Cosmic Journal for a ton of powerful and enlightening questions. The following questions catalyzed Yanik to shift gears and reevaluate his life and authentic happiness. After starting a successful business yet feeling a little lost, he asked himself, "Am I happy?" and "Would I be happy in 10 years doing what I'm doing now?" He dared to truly listen to his inner guidance, which clearly said, 'no.' He decided to change his career path, and while it took time to take off, he chose to listen to his soul. Your Cosmic Alarm Clock You might ask, what is this cosmic alarm clock? Think of it as your wake-up call from your soul. It starts as a whisper, and if you don't pay attention, it will get louder. Because we have free will, hitting the snooze button and staying asleep to what's calling you is always an option. One thing Yanik (and I) have noticed is that it's almost never a good time to do what your soul wants you to do. The question for you will be whether to follow what's waking you up. I shared about my cosmic alarm clock waking me up at 3:33 am about 14 years ago. It had me make a drastic change and u-turn in my life. It was not easy, yet it was one of the most critical and soul-awakening experiences in my life. Yanik experienced this too by realizing that he was not doing work that truly moved his soul. Your Self-worth Is Not Your Networth It's important to remember, especially those of you who are entrepreneurs, that your self-worth has nothing to do with your networth. It can be tempting to go for the financial rewards and the money, but one thing to keep in mind is that your first intention and focus should be on that thing that aligns your head, heart, and higher self. The money will always follow when you are following your greater soul's guidance. Following Cosmic Sign Posts Pay attention and choose to be a light that helps others to shine their light. Like Yanik said, bloom where you are planted and keep your inner eye open to the cosmic signposts and evidence that you are indeed always on the right path for your soul to evolve. Yanik and I randomly chose the cards from Yanik Silver's Cosmic Journey oracle cards. Here are the questions we discussed: Card #7 Close your eyes to open your heart- Cosmic Catalyst Question: "If I could look through the eyes of the Universe, what would I see about my path that's perfect right now?" Card #8 Coming Soon: Welcome to the next ascending age- Cosmic Catalyst Question: "What is my role to play in the greater story unfolding?" It's Time To Be The Light And like the card I chose said (and the shirt I happened to be wearing), "we are all made of star-stuff." In other words, don't downplay, overlook or fall asleep at the wheel to your divinity and cosmic greatness. Final Thought Yanik Silver reminds us that while we never HAVE to wake up to our cosmic alarm clock (we can go on hitting that snooze button), it would serve our higher purpose to figuratively jump out of bed with hope and enthusiasm for a new beginning. He shares so much light via his The Cosmic Journal and Cosmic Journey Oracle cards, so be sure to check them out.

Meet Molly Carmel Molly Carmel, LCSW-R is a leading addictions and eating disorder therapist and Founder of The Beacon Program (Beacon by MC), which offers individual and group solutions to help people break free from their destructive relationships with food and dieting. Known for her irreverent, "straight talk, no chaser" attitude, she's also the author of the innovative book, Breaking Up with Sugar: A Plan to Divorce the Diets, Drop the Pounds, and Live Your Best Life and is the host of the podcast, What You're Craving. Molly has made it her life's mission to help people find a sustainable solution to the battle against obesity and related eating disorders. After battling an eating disorder for over 20 years and finding no solution in available treatment, she began her professional path and has never looked back. In addition to her extensive training in Substance Use and Eating Disorders, Molly is intensively trained in and has an undying love for Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. She is also a trained shaman, Reiki healer, and certified Tibetan bowl singing practitioner. Molly Carmel's work has been featured on The Today Show, The Dr. Oz Show, Dateline NBC, Anderson Cooper 360, and Extreme Makeover, as well as in People Magazine and the Los Angeles Times. To learn more about Molly, go to: mollycarmel.com. You know when you're out to eat, and you overhear friends chatting about their biggest breakup or something juicy? Well, my friend, you're gonna feel like you were hanging with us over lunch and were eavesdropping. This was that kind of conversation that went deep but was funny, intense, and got real-deal about food and sugar addiction and how to take care of yourself in a society that eats up toxic diet culture. So, sit back, relax and definitely get your fave snack and tea as you sit in on our talk. Food Is a Relationship Game Contrary to what the diet culture will have you believe, there is nothing wrong with you if you struggle with overeating and food. So many of us are taught at an early age that food equals love. I shared my story of my Dad taking me to Dunkin' Donuts before my first day of nursery school to get three double chocolate donuts. I still remember them like it was yesterday. Molly shared about her massive struggles with bingeing, hiding food, and being the youngest one at Weight Watchers. Here's what's important to note, though, food is a relationship game and about nourishment on a mind, body, and soul level. This can be such a tough one to digest when food has acted like your BFF. This is why Molly wrote 'Breaking Up With Sugar', because it felt like such a breakup experience, not to mention detox. If you find yourself struggling with eating out of control or being unable to stop eating sugar, we get you! It was helpful hearing that most cravings last about 20 minutes or so. A good practice when you're tempted by the pan of brownies or box of cookies in your kitchen; leave the room. Call a friend who will support you. Don't let this obsession continue to steal your energy, time, and joy. The purpose is to be free and love yourself and others. Addiction Is Really About Control Addiction is about needing control, and recovery is about trust. To have recovery, you must shift what you believe. This means not just addressing the physical component but also the emotional and spiritual. I loved what Molly said, 'We row, the Universe steers.' This game of recovery from addiction, especially sugar and food addiction, requires a three-pronged approach of shifting your beliefs and relationship with your mind, body, and spiritual connection. Genuine connection, especially with others on the road to recovery, is the opposite of addiction and can make an enormous difference in your own healing. Molly Carmel suggests you look at cravings as sirens (trust me, I know all about cravings for chocolate anything) and that they're calling you to get introspective and see what you need. The Greatest Act of Self Love Forgiveness, by far, is the greatest act of self-love. You start by looking at those you need to forgive, including yourself, and make a commitment to work on adding forgiveness to your daily practice. A simple way to start is to wish the person you want to forgive well and ask that they be free from suffering and at peace. This comes from the meta meditation and is an excellent place to begin. To learn more about Molly, her Beacon program for sugar addiction, or any of her work, go to mollycarmel.com Hungry For More If you're hungry for more in life and want to stop the incessant cycle of food addiction, you might want to check out my online course, Hungry For More: Overcoming Food Addiction (juliereisler.com/shop) or my Hungry For More audio course on Insight Timer (insighttimer.com/juliereisler). Both will guide you through the 6 H's of the Hunger model for greater self-awareness, compassion, and deep change. Final Thoughts Molly Carmel's book Breaking Up with Sugar helps us understand that food addiction, especially addiction to sweets and sugar, doesn't have to result in self-degradation. There's a road to self-awareness, forgiveness, and a deeper sense of self-love as long as you're willing to travel it.

Your vibration, the energy that is vibrating within you, will be your point of attraction to what you bring into your life experience. This includes your thoughts, actions, emotions, and mood. Take time every day to connect within, tune into the present moment and realize you can shift your energy at any time. The Way The Law of Attraction Actually Works Everything is energy, including your thoughts, beliefs, stories, inner dialogue, and emotions Emotions range in energy frequency and vibrations in measured Hz. On the lower end are fear, despair, and depression which is closer to 30 - 50 Hz, whereas love, peace, and joy are up near 500+Hz. You are either choosing to come from love or fear. Choose powerfully to come from love, and don't let fear steal your greatest asset, your connection to the divinity within you. The Universe is constantly expanding through you and is for you and your greatest good. There is no other shoe ready to drop. Attracting More of What You Love I also discussed the Law of Circulation, which in short, is what you put out there will come back to you. Want more abundance and prosperity? Be generous to others and give more of your time, energy, and money away (of course not to your detriment), and watch what happens. When in doubt, come from love. Ask yourself what you'd love to experience, be, feel, and do. Focus on the energy of love in all you're doing, and prepare for the Universe to shower you with loving results. The card I pulled from the You-est You deck of intention cards was Law of Attraction. There are 33 powerful intention cards in total that can help you work with the laws of the Universe and set meaningful and aligned intentions. To get your own You-est You intention deck, go to juliereisler.com/shop Final Thoughts We are constantly living within the laws of the Universe. The Law of Attraction is always there waiting to be put into action. It's up to you to decide if you are attracting what you truly desire-love, abundance, prosperity, joy-or other feelings, and states of reality that come from a place of fear. The Law of Circulation desires to give you back what you give, hoping that we spread more kindness, joy, and generosity than not with one another. The laws of the Universe are never bending and neverending so it's to your benefit to work with them instead of against them.

Meet Jenna Kutcher Jenna Kutcher is a born-and-raised Minnesotan, a wife, mother, and entrepreneur who aims for two things daily: helping others wake up to life and staying in comfy pants. Creator and host of the top-rated Goal Digger Podcast, she's helped thousands redefine success and chase bold dreams through her decade-long work as a leading online personality and educator. In addition to birthing her second baby girl, Jenna is birthing her newest book baby, How Are You, Really? Learn more about her book and powerful work at howareyoureallybook.com. Jenna Kutcher started a decade ago on a whim to leave the corporate world and let her entrepreneurial flag fly. She bought a used camera for $300 and soon became the best wedding photographer in Wisconsin, 4 years in a row. She built a 7-figure business that is all about helping entrepreneurial souls flourish in their careers and life. I've loved Jenna's work, wit, and words and am so glad to share her experience and story with you. Time to Dig In I'm going to get right to it. This conversation was pure gold. The question Jenna's massage therapist/healer asked her is what I think most of us are often avoiding. Grab a pen and journal and reflect on this one: There's something you need to do, and you know what it is. You need to do it. When will you begin? This lands right at the very of your core, right? It's such a powerful question, and this is what got Jenna inspired to write her latest book, How Are You, Really? while pregnant with her second baby girl, all while working on her podcast Goal Digger. Her book is about getting honest with ourselves so that we can come home to ourselves. I love Jenna's reminder that there is no right time to take action on your dreams, on that thing you know you're here to do. You just need to create space so it can pour out of you. Follow Your Map Jenna Kutcher and I also talked about how this book is to help you remember that you're the keeper of your map and that when your values, integrity, and alignment back your vision, all is possible. I've seen this in my own life many, many times, whether it was starting this podcast or deciding to shift gears and follow my intuition to teach about intuition. Whatever that thing is that lives inside you that wants out listen to her. Go for it. Do the thing. I really vibed with what Jenna said regarding not falling into the trap of following someone else's blueprint. Final Thoughts Listen in to hear more richness and darn good bites of wisdom. Be sure to pick up a copy of Jenna Kutcher's book How Are You, Really? and tune into her podcast Goal Digger for more valuable insight. And as always, thank you so much for rating and reviewing my show. It helps to get these conversations in the earbuds of other amazing human beings all over the globe.

Meet Matt Kahn Matt Kahn is the author of the brand new book All for Love, published by Sounds True. He's also the author of bestselling books Whatever Arises Love That, Everything Is Here To Help You, and The Universe Always Has a Plan. His books have been translated into more than a dozen different languages worldwide. In 2020, Matt was named one of the 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People in the World by Watkins Magazine. He's a spiritual teacher and highly attuned empathic healer who has become a YouTube sensation with his healing and often humorous videos. More than 20 million YouTube channel viewers are finding comfort, inspiration, and relief from the challenges of daily life through his intuitive updates and helpful, uplifting heart-centered messages. You can get Matt's book and free documentary at mattkahn.org/love. It's such a blessing, my friend, to be in your ear and on your journey to greater expansion and heart-centered living. This conversation really dug into the power of understanding your divinity and how to stay connected to yourself during turbulent times. Matt was so open and genuine about his experience growing up with spiritual gifts and how he is constantly learning, growing, and shifting in his life and helping many others to do the same. I hope you can feel the high vibe energy transmitted in this discussion about all things having to do with the unconditional love of the Universe and how it's ok, even crucial, to manage your energy. Sit back, relax and allow these words to sink into your heart --- and definitely share your insights, 'heart flares', comments, and thoughts in The You-est You Podcast Facebook community. How To Truly Love Yourself How to truly love yourself is rarely taught to any of us, so we dove into the importance and necessity of self-love. Matt Kahn talked about the need to put yourself first and be radically loving towards yourself. That it's not just healing for your mind but also for your nervous system and body. One way to tap into greater self-love is to let yourself be nourished by the truth. This means saying no when you mean it, turning down an invitation, offer, date or opportunity when it doesn't feel true for you. For many of us highly sensitive and empathic souls, aligning with your truth is often practice as it requires being comfortable with others being uncomfortable with your choices. Especially when it's not what they want from you. People pleasing, which is so very common for those who are high empaths, is really then a fabrication of your truth. You're not being truthful when you people please and allow for someone else's desires, needs, and wishes to be met over yours. Start by checking in with yourself to feel, sense, and see what really is true for you, and then work on your courage to follow that truth. You Can't Mess Up Your Destiny Isn't it so comforting to realize that we can't mess up our destiny? This doesn't mean you should try and not take action. It just means that even when you feel you're off course or on the wrong path, you're not. You can't be. The Universe doesn't work like that. All is here for our highest good. Your life purpose is not what you do, but it's who you become while doing it. Part of realizing you're always right where you're meant to be is to become detached from your outcome. When in doubt, take the loving path. Take the heart-centered path which will always lead you to your deepest truth. Manifestation and The Law of Attraction I get so many questions and inquiries about how the Law of Attraction works. First, we need to look at how the Universe works. The Universe is made up of energy and works in simple ways. Energy is either expanding or stagnant. You're either expanding, or you're contracting. Neither is better or worse, as sometimes having life go on pause and contracting can be an essential part of your greater expansion. When you really tap into these energies, you can get out of stagnation and into expansion, which is manifestation you can do in these simple ways: Set an intention and add it to your cart, so to speak. Place your order in the cosmic store. Keep expanding energy and allow it to move through your mind and body Surrender your wants and desires to focus on what the Universe wants for you As you match your energy to the expansion you desire while letting go of how what you want manifests or shows up, you allow the Universe to deliver what's in your highest good. This is not about hacking the Universe to make things work for you. There are no shortcuts. It's about aligning with your higher truth and making choices that come from your higher self, truth, and faith. How To Manage Your Energy The topic of how to manage your energy is so important, especially if you identify as highly sensitive, an empath, or someone who feels drained around others. In managing your energy, you'll need to start tuning in to your own body and energy management. We think codependency is the way to give, but we have to be honest about our energy to live functional and aligned lives. If you're exhausted, and you're supposed to go out with friends, it means telling the truth and staying in to honor your energy. This is really about owning your self-value and self-love and finding opportunities to replenish your energy. All For Love Matt Kahn shared that his book, All For Love, was channeled and came from the deeper question, "What are the teachings the world needs now for sensitive heart-centered people who need to awaken their inner healer?" In answering this question, he realized that we are all in need of a greater focus on love and thanking the darkness as it shows the true power of love. Final Thoughts Matt Kahn shares with us during this episode and in his book, All For Love, how awareness begins the journey to self-love. From there, we can expand into our fullest potential by manifesting our desires and following the path of our destiny. Be sure to pre-order a copy of his latest book, All For Love, today.

Meet Dr. Amanda Hanson Dr. Amanda Hanson is a clinical psychologist turned transformational life coach for women. Her brand Revolutionizing Midlife is about redefining and reclaiming what it means to be a woman 40+. She is a self-proclaimed paradigm shifter & her contagious approach is one of the limitless possibilities. Where most see roadblocks, she sees opportunities. If you're soon approaching 40 or already in your 40s and beyond, or if you know a woman who is in her 40s, this episode is a must-listen. We got deep into how to start redefining a midlife crisis for women, what it looks like, and how to view aging. You will definitely come away from this episode empowered and, I hope, ready to love whatever age you are. Redefining Midlife It's time to redefine and revolutionize midlife. When you look up the word midlife, most likely next to it, you'll see the word crisis. Sadly, women are again not as valued in our society and much of the world. We have two choices in how we want to embrace our age and shifting experiences as we get older - we can come from love or from fear. Dr. Amanda Hanson talked a lot about her realization that she was coming from fear. It was while getting her hair dyed that she looked around and saw what looked like a row of women asleep at the wheel, conforming to a greater societal double standard of the need to keep looking young at all costs. The entryway to a mid-life crisis for women. She decided that day never to dye her hair again and start loving every inch of grey and silver hair on her head, no matter what. Amanda is on a mission to help women in midlife reprogram their nervous system and reclaim, rejuvenate, rediscover, and reimagine a new, empowering, loving, and kind reality. Overcoming Toxic Beauty Culture To overcome anything, you first have to look and see where you are living by values or standards that aren't yours. Are you doing something, buying a product, or something that really isn't aligned with your ideals around taking care of your health, body, and wellbeing? For Dr. Amanda Hanson, she realized that she didn't want to put botox in her skin or dye in her hair. Instead, she wanted to focus on changing the relationship from within so that she could find love and respect for herself exactly as she is and as she ages. I have a deep level of respect for this kind of pursuit and am on a similar trajectory. How about you? How might you create a deeper level of respect and honor for yourself? Without shaming or judging yourself, or others, ask yourself how you might be buying into a toxic beauty culture --- be it thinking you have to look or be a certain way. You might ask yourself, do I really think that, or have I been conditioned to think this way? The real question then is, are you willing to do this kind of inner self-work. Dr. Amanda reminds us that this deep, profound work is only for those who are willing. How to Create a Squeaky Clean Mindset Dr. Amanda Hanson talked about her super intentional mindset and how she starts every morning with a powerful affirmation. She says to herself, "Good morning, beautiful! I love you. You are a goddamn miracle." How might you implement an affirmation like this into your morning routine? Don't allow trash in your mindset, including your own thoughts. It's about creating intimacy within yourself, which of course, will always translate into having more intimate relationships and compassion in your outer world as well. Final Thoughts When dealing with a midlife crisis for women, the first step is loving yourself at the core. That means recognizing who you are and accepting yourself for that version of yourself. To throw back the toxic beauty culture and just BE instead of chasing the unattainable. Simply BEing is where happiness lies.

A Greater Vision for Yourself If you're looking to uncover what you really desire and get out of other people's boxes and versions of you, this episode is a must-listen. I share all about how to create a vision that will mirror your next-level identity. Don't underestimate the power of having a clearly stated vision and pairing that with your imagination and ability to visualize. The Anatomy of a Great Vision Statement: This statement starts with 'I am so happy and grateful now that I....' Write this statement in the present tense using affirmative language. At the end, you can add something like 'And so it is.' 'This, or something better' or 'This or something even better still' to allow room for the Universe to surprise and delight you. Before you know it you will be manifesting your vision in real-time. Energy is Everything A reminder that all is energy. Adding energy to your vision statement, meaning-making sure you feel energized, excited, grateful, and connected to what you're envisioning, is crucial. You can create vision boards, mind movies, get in nature, or go to places representing your vision, like a house that looks like something you'd love to manifest. To manifest your greater vision, you'll want to make sure you're appreciating what you currently are experiencing while making room for something even greater by adding that energy of feeling like you have it now. Final Thoughts We all want to manifest our desires. Bring them into reality. But often people get confused or distracted by real-world experiences and lose sight of how to manifest them. Keeping these tips at the forefront of your mind will help you manifest your vision so that you can have exactly what you want.

Meet Gabriela Blandy Gabriela Blandy is a fully qualified Life Coach and NLP Practitioner. She is a personal and professional development expert with over fifteen years' experience working with writers, creatives, and entrepreneurs. She has also trained in the Shamanic Medicine Wheel with The Spirit of the Inca. Gabriela has been awarded the Royal Society of Literature V S Pritchett Prize and has a Masters in Creative Writing with Distinction. Her writing has been published in various books and journals, including The Mechanics Institute Review and The London Magazine. She has also been published alongside Sarah Waters and Daphne du Maurier in Virago's collection of ghostly tales, 'Something was There'. Gabriela has hosted hundreds of literary events, both in London at City University and the bar at RADA and The John Osborne Arvon Centre, and has spoken on the Creative Writing Masters Programs at Oxford University, UEA, Warwick, Birkbeck, and Guildford. Stopping the Hustle & Grind I had the honor and pleasure of coaching and working with Gabriela about a year ago as she wanted to get off the incessant grind and hustle train and learn to hear her inner voice and deeper wisdom. She felt exhausted, working weekends without time off, noticing a continuous cycle of comparison and competition. While successful on the outside, Gabriela wanted to stop the crazy burnout and connect back to her passion and true purpose. She was afraid of losing momentum but knew where this kind of continued overworking and overwhelm would lead. Her soul was asking for more -- more nature, more nurture, and more deep connection. Listen to Your Soul Gabriela Blandy's soul was asking for a new way of doing business, of self-expression, and a way to feel passionate and fulfilled that wasn't at the expense of her mental and physical wellbeing. Gabriela talked about the shift that happened when she decided to invest in her soul and start coaching together. She realized that she had just bought something for her soul rather than her ego or fear. What ensued over the next year was miraculous to guide and observe. She woke up to a way of being so many of us find ourselves paralyzed by -- the constant hustle and rushing around that has you spreading butter on your toast while scrolling through text messages, checking your calendar and trying to take a photo here and there for a decent social media post. She started to see the patterns of being spread thin and feeling disconnected from any sense of presence or deeper purpose. Detoxing Your Lifestyle What came next was a surprise to Gabriela, and she shares how the two questions she asked herself led to a total shift in her business and life. Driven to spend more time in nature and to detox her lifestyle from screens and constant scrolling, Gabriela took her first five-day excursion into the forest. She asked herself, 'Who am I? and What is my purpose?' What followed surprised and delighted her. It was not a response she had heard before and certainly wasn't attainable while being mired down in emails, zoom meetings, and workaholism. She felt a deep knowing that she was meant to spend more time in the forest and that something important was shifting within her that would become the new bedrock for her career and purpose. Forest trips became Gabriela's new way of unplugging, and soon she found wisdom being channeled from her encounter with the trees and nature that helped to rewire her nervous system and brain. It was a detox on all levels instigated by the forest. Trusting Your Inner Guidance No Matter What Gabriela Blandy shares the power of learning to trust her inner guidance and started to see the ripple effect of this positive change in all of her relationships and business. The greater message of how to listen to your your soul she learned from the forest. Today, her business is not only thriving in new ways, but because she has followed her intuition and wisdom from the forest, she has created an amazing community that taps into greater aspects of creativity in writing, speaking, coaching, and living. She continues to bring her clients into the forest and finally feels like she is living a life that is congruent with her heart, purpose, and soul's greatest desires. To learn more about Gabriela and her beautiful offerings, go to https://gabrielablandy.org, Final Thoughts Gabriela Blandy was able to tune into her intuition and feel what she was missing in her life. More importantly, she was able to take action and fill the gap that the busyness of the world was taking away from her. She invites all of you to listen to your soul and see what you can give back to it starting today. Looking To Help Other Empaths Design Their Best Life?

Meet Lynne McTaggart For more than 20 years, Lynne McTaggart, an internationally bestselling and award-winning author and journalist, has been examining the bridge between frontier science and spirituality. Lynne is mainly known for the quality of her narrative non-fiction and the depth of her research, her inspirational speaking style, and her uncompromising role as a New Thought leader and spiritual change agent. Over the years, Lynne McTaggart has been variously called a 'metaphysical rock star', 'the Madonna of the Quantum World,' 'the Malcolm Gladwell of the New Science', and even 'The Dalai Mama.' She's consistently voted one of the world's top 100 spiritual leaders for her groundbreaking work with consciousness and the power of thoughts. To understand more about the mechanisms behind the healing power of thoughts, Lynne has organized rigorous scientific studies called Intention Experiments, working with scientists at prestigious universities around the world. Lynne has been particularly interested in the power of group intention and its "mirror effect," transforming recipients and reflecting back on the senders. As co-founder and editorial director of the health magazine, What Doctors Don't Tell You, now published in 15 languages worldwide, and Get Well, the international holistic health expo, Lynne is also a tirelessly campaigns for consumer rights in health care. Her two books, The Intention Experiment and The Power of Eight can be fond on Amazon. If you'd like to have your mind 'glowing' and tap into what's possible within your own body and mind for greater healing, past, present, and future, then this conversation is a must-listen. Lynne McTaggart is one of the leading researchers and gifted speakers to explain the greater depths of quantum physics, quantum healing, and time. This means we have the powerful ability as humans to change our well-being and destiny. There were so many nuggets of wisdom, and I'd highly recommend listening to this episode from start to finish. Here is a short recap to give you a sense of the breadth and depth of what Lynne covered. As always, let me know your thoughts in the You-est You® Podcast Community on Facebook and take whatever resonates, and leave the rest. Meditation vs. Intentions If you haven't yet read Lynne's two books: The Power of Eight and The Intention Experiment, get thee to Amazon and order both STAT. They will glow your mind! I asked Lynne about the difference between meditation and intentions because they can seem similar yet have profound different results. Much of Lynne's work is around the hidden and surprising superpower of using the power of intentions for a specific desired outcome for greater healing and manifestation. In sum, meditation increases your alpha and delta brain waves. Meditation is typically a practice where you use a mantra or sit in silence. On the other hand, intentions activate the parietal lobe, and all brain waves are lowered. The right frontal lobe, the area where worry and doubt are triggered, also goes down when sending an intention. The other amazing thing about sending intentions is that this altruistic act touches both the sender and receiver, and a greater ecstatic sense of oneness occurs. Lynne shares that with sending intentions, you must focus on a thought and outcome that is highly specific. A great way to get a specific intention is to use the 5 W's, used in journalistic writing; ask yourself 'Who, what, where, when, why?' Our Cells Communicate Through Frequencies The fantastic thing to note is that we all have the most powerful healer inside of us. We've been living by the scientific story we've been told, an older Newtonian vision where separate things generate ideas in time and space. Over the past 100+ years, we've seen through the newer science of Quantum Physics that we're all interconnected through energy systems, otherwise known as the zero-point field. Our thoughts are a transmitter, and our cells communicate through frequencies. Our brain is literally like a TV station transducing. We're either giving or receiving light all the time and have the ability to focus our thoughts in a way that can move and change matter. Quantum Healing We can send intentions back to heal something in our past, and we can also do this in the future. In part, it's understanding that time is not as we think and that it is not linear. You can send thoughts to make people better (including yourself), and Lynne McTaggart shows this scientifically in many of her books, but especially in The Intention Experiment and The Power of Eight. Understanding your own inner power can help you take back your power to heal from within. In this way, Lynne invites us all to be spiritual activists in which we can become more connected to our own natural inner healing powers and that of our society. The Power of Altruism If you are interested in being part of a Power of Eight group, feel free to check out Lynne's website to learn more about her groups and events. I have been part of my own PO8 group (in short), and it is nothing short of miraculous. To learn more about this and her upcoming retreat in England, go to: lynnemctaggart.com/events Here's to your accessing all of your You-est You®, my friend! Final Thoughts Lynne McTaggart enlilghtens us with how with the power of intentions we can heal both others and ourselves. That time and distance are not barriers to the healing intentions once set in motion.

Meet Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is back again on the You-est You podcast! Dr. Jill is a Harvard-trained and published neuroanatomist. In 1996 she experienced a severe hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain, causing her to lose the ability to walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life. Her memoir, My Stroke of Insight, documenting her experience with stroke and eight-year recovery, spent 63 weeks on the New York Times non-fiction bestseller list and is still routinely the #1 book about stroke on Amazon. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a dynamic teacher and public speaker who loves educating all age groups, academic levels, as well as corporations about the beauty of our human brain and its ability to recover from trauma. In 2008 she gave the first TED talk that ever went viral on the Internet, which now has well over 26 million views. Also, in 2008, Dr. Taylor was chosen as one of Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People in the World" and was the premiere guest on Oprah Winfrey's "Soul Series" webcast. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is also the author of the most recent bestselling book, Whole Brain Living. I invited Dr. Jill back on to my podcast to talk about how we can learn to self-soothe ourselves during such a stressful time that has increased the amount of anxiety and fear in so many people's lives. This conversation will help you learn how to talk to the scientific four parts of your brain (this is an excellent refresh if you want to reconnect with your four characters) and start unifying all of your characters through a brain huddle. The Four Characters The brain has two hemispheres; the left and the right. The right hemisphere is all about being here, right now. It's about being experiential in the present moment. Character 4 is the thinking part of the brain that is about consciousness and that feeling of being grateful to be alive. Character 3 is the emotional part of the right brain that is creative, innovative, open, and will ask, 'What does that feel like?' The part that is feeling the stress of the world and needing the self-soothing. The left hemisphere is about the past, present and the future and is where we individuate and form a sense of being an individual. Character 2 is about your emotions in your left brain and Character 1 is the thinking part of the left brain that will look for structure and organization, and will ask 'how am I a functional human being in the world? How can I self-soothe and take the weight off my shoulders? Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor and I shared the names of our 4 Characters. Share in the You-est You Podcast Community on Facebook your names! Emotions are really just energy in motion; emotion is energy running on a circuit that can feel like rage, sadness, joy, elation, etc. Think of emotions as energy flowing through the cells in our brain and body. The Brain Huddle Think of your four characters who are on the same team and here to connect about your next play in life. The best way to build your muscle of leaning on a brain huddle is to start doing this 20x's day. In the Brain Huddle, BRAIN stands for Breath, Recognize, Appreciate, Inquire, Navigate. Here's a deeper dive into what this means: Breath - Be present in the moment with your breath Recognize- Notice who called the huddle (which character) Appreciate - Appreciate all four of your characters and realize they are all on the same team Inquire - Ask, who wants the mic? Ask your four characters who wants to talk, and allow for all four to share. You don't need to give your power away. Navigate - Use this process to navigate moment to moment How to Self-Soothe Yourself Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor reminds us to call in your four characters for a brain huddle and give yourself time, space, and grace to connect with which character wants to share. Often it is your sweet Character 2 who has emotions to share. Know this is the process that helps you self-soothe. That will bring you a sense of calm during the storm of the past several years. Allow yourself the space to feel all emotions and surround your character with love and compassion. My 3 favorite quotes from this episode: "We're feeling creatures who think! Not the other way around.", "Our past pain isn't here to be a lifestyle. It's here so you can learn, grow and move on." and "The quality of your dealing with your emotions will affect the quality of your thinking." And, a total mind-blown moment: "We've been alive when our mothers were in our grandmother's 5th week of gestation." Final Thoughts Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor enlightens us with the process of The Brain Huddle to teach us how to self-soothe during these tumultuous times. The pandemic has brought in so many emotions, and Dr. Jill helps us understand how to better navigate them.
