13. Hypnotherapy + Aging Backwards with Dr. Andy Scarpati · The Woo Report: Everyday Spirituality

• 0:02
  Ten years ago.
• 0:03
  My dad, who is a hypnotherapist, facilitated a past life regression with my best friend at the time.
• 0:11
  My eyes could not roll back in my head far enough.
• 0:13
  I thought these two were out of their goddamn minds.
• 0:17
  Fast forward to an expansive near-death experience.
• 0:20
  And here we are.
• 0:22
  Open, curious, flexible, and ready to explore all the past lives and we the universe has to offer.
• 0:29
  When I was first cracked open, I realized my dad, Doctor Andy Scar Patty had been on this journey for decades as a hypnotherapist.
• 0:38
  He's been helping people free themselves of fears, habits, or any limiting beliefs for the last 30 years.
• 0:46
  He's great, but he's also my dad, so I do reserve the right to roll my eyes at him at any time.
• 0:51
  But I also have seen the results of his work and it's powerful.
• 0:57
  As children, we are sponges.
• 1:00
  Soaking in everything.
• 1:01
  Emotions, structures and for better or worse, we are shaped by those experiences.
• 1:07
  And then, as adults, we set out to unpack our childhood, identify our habits, keep it works, and work through the rest.
• 1:15
  Hypnotherapy is a tool that can help us work through those habits or fears that we want to change.
• 1:20
  And my dad loves helping people do exactly that.
• 1:26
  At 72, he also believes that getting older doesn't have to mean slowing down.
• 1:31
  A total health nut.
• 1:33
  I've heard him say countless times in the last five years that he's doing his best to age backwards.
• 1:39
  if you know him, you know he's a guy that's living his best.
• 1:43
  He loves his life, loves his work.
• 1:46
  And last month, he did 72 push ups for his 72nd birthday.
• 1:51
  I hope you enjoy some good old fashioned, enlightened boomer dad wisdom in this one.
• 1:59
  Hi, I'm Laura Scarrpati, filmmaker, and woo woo enthusiast here today.
• 2:04
  To cut through the noise, pull back the veil, and cozy up in this space between reality and spirituality.
• 2:12
  Thanks for listening to the woo report.
• 2:17
  Doctor. Andy.
• 2:18
  Skye.
• 2:18
  Patty, thank you so much for being on the report.
• 2:21
  Well, thank you so much for inviting me.
• 2:23
  I mean, it's, quite an honor to be invited by, I guess, your own daughter.
• 2:28
  Yeah, well, I'm really happy we could make this work.
• 2:33
  We figured it out.
• 2:34
  We had technical difficulties, but here we are.
• 2:36
  I've had a lot of people actually reach out asking if you are going to be on.
• 2:40
  Oh, well, that's nice. That's really.
• 2:41
  I have to I really.
• 2:43
  Marilyn, I really enjoy your show.
• 2:45
  yeah.
• 2:46
  Kristen was was so interesting and David was great.
• 2:50
  We did the past lives.
• 2:52
  Everything is just we really enjoy it.
• 2:52
  Thank you.
• 2:54
  Thanks.
• 2:55
  That, all right, we're going to talk about hypnotherapy today, and we're also going to talk about something that I've heard you mentioned many times in the recent years, which is that you are doing your best to age backwards, which, I feel like is something that we're all aging, but aging backwards sounds like something we all might want to learn more about.
• 3:20
  all right.
• 3:21
  But let's start with hypnotherapy.
• 3:21
  Give us a 101.
• 3:23
  when you hear the word hypnosis, people, what is it?
• 3:26
  Gnosis.
• 3:27
  It's simply a focused mental state.
• 3:30
  this ever happened to you?
• 3:31
  You're driving in your car and you're focused on your driving, and you pass your exit.
• 3:36
  You want it to turn there, but you were just thinking about something else.
• 3:41
  Okay. That is a focused mental state.
• 3:44
  Hypnosis is a tool to get to your subconscious mind.
• 3:48
  it's the part of our mind.
• 3:50
  The basically is our computer program.
• 3:53
  You develop these habits and patterns of thinking, and people sometimes get to a point in their life where they're not particularly happy with a program that they have.
• 4:05
  Maybe it's a fear.
• 4:07
  Maybe they're anxious about something.
• 4:09
  Sometimes you could be anxious about something and not sure what it is the average person has between.
• 4:15
  50 55,000 thoughts a day.
• 4:20
  Of those thoughts, 90 to 95%, or the exact same thoughts we had yesterday.
• 4:26
  So we do operate in these mental patterns.
• 4:30
  Okay.
• 4:31
  Now if you're happy again, if you're happy with your life, great.
• 4:34
  If there's anything you want it to change or you want it to enhance, like I've helped people over the years with hypnosis, with all kinds of things playing sports better, speaking in front of other people, better, whatever it is.
• 4:47
  Because whatever you use your mind for, you can use this tool called hypnosis.
• 4:52
  all hypnosis is self-hypnosis.
• 4:54
  That means it's up to us to either accept or not accept what is being said.
• 5:00
  and I love it.
• 5:01
  I just absolutely love it because I know what it's like to be in a situation where you want to change something about yourself and you want to do something, and you just need, just need a little help.
• 5:12
  You just need to go inward.
• 5:13
  And that's the big thing about hypnosis.
• 5:16
  It's going inward.
• 5:18
  Because all I do is the hypnotherapist is just talk.
• 5:23
  You make the changes.
• 5:25
  I'm just the guide and I do brag.
• 5:28
  One of the best guides in USA.
• 5:30
  I've been doing this for a long time.
• 5:32
  I know exactly, it doesn't matter what comes up.
• 5:34
  I could handle it.
• 5:35
  I could help someone through whatever it is.
• 5:37
  And over these years, this November will be 30 years.
• 5:40
  I've been doing this now and I just love it.
• 5:44
  I love helping people with this Whatever it is you would like to change about yourself, you can do it.
• 5:49
  It's just a matter of focusing on it and doing it.
• 5:51
  a theme on this podcast is that, you know, it's an inside out world.
• 5:55
  It's an inside job.
• 5:57
  There are different tools that will help us and support us.
• 6:00
  If we don't know exactly if we're looking inside and it feels a little muddled, or there's fear or there's anxiety.
• 6:06
  And so what's great about hypnotherapy, you, you've you've helped a lot of people.
• 6:10
  You helped my husband Matt, he had some fears around Covid. Yes.
• 6:15
  I pick up a few people with that. Yeah.
• 6:17
  And it really helped him.
• 6:19
  It really helped him.
• 6:19
  And you know, he would be the first person to say it.
• 6:23
  It didn't help me.
• 6:24
  but he, was changed I'm curious now, before you jumped on the hypnotherapy train, where, where are your where what was your spiritual belief system then?
• 6:36
  well, I had heard about like, past life, and I was like, the heck is that?
• 6:41
  You know, but at the very first, the very first hypnosis seminar, the last thing he did on the last a Sunday afternoon, he goes, we're going to do a past life regression.
• 6:51
  And I just said to myself, Andy, just close your eyes, relax, and just enjoy yourself and see what happens.
• 6:57
  And I had a really interesting experience.
• 7:00
  Wait, I want to hear about the interesting experience.
• 7:01
  But I just for anyone listening who does not know like what this means because like, I think past lives still is, you know, in the ether and it's not necessarily like in the full culture.
• 7:12
  I feel like I remember when my wedding in 2014, like right around my wedding, you were like doing a past life regression with my best friend Natalia.
• 7:20
  That was like, you two are out of your goddamn mind.
• 7:25
  forward post, my accident and reading many lies, many masters.
• 7:29
  Yeah.
• 7:29
  And having this great book, such a good book.
• 7:32
  I mean, that the many lies, many masters is like the spiritual gateway book, as they say, like marijuana is like the gateway drug.
• 7:38
  Like this is the spiritual gateway book and it's hypnotherapy.
• 7:42
  in hypnotherapy and we haven't gotten into this yet, but you, you regressed people to maybe some early childhood memories sometimes to like unclick or unlock or find the root of an issue or a fear or a phobia or something that happened in their childhood.
• 7:59
  like, can I elaborate on that, please?
• 8:02
  Okay.
• 8:03
  Let me what I'm going to tell you right now is so typical of what happens in my office.
• 8:09
  And I'm going to give you an example of when I, when I first started, back in 95, 96, this woman called me on the phone.
• 8:17
  Back then they would call you on the phone.
• 8:19
  and here's what she said.
• 8:20
  She goes, I'm having this issue with driving my car, She goes, if I know where I'm going, wait to hear the story.
• 8:26
  If I know where I'm going, I'm fine.
• 8:29
  But if I don't know where I'm going, I become very anxious, very upset.
• 8:34
  Now, next week, I get to take my daughter to cheerleading competition, and I know I can't drive there.
• 8:39
  This is before GPS, by the way.
• 8:41
  I know I can't drive there, so I gotta get somebody else to drive.
• 8:44
  Do you think you could help me with this?
• 8:44
  I said, sure, come on in.
• 8:47
  So she's sitting in front of me and I said, do you know why you feel this way?
• 8:54
  And she said, no, I've.
• 8:56
  I've always felt uncomfortable driving, but I don't know why.
• 8:59
  So in this session we did something it's termed regression.
• 9:03
  And that's just going back into your memory bank.
• 9:06
  And there's a real simple technique that I was taught how to get to the root of these problems.
• 9:12
  hypnosis session, by the way, is one of the most relaxing experiences you're ever going to have.
• 9:17
  I just relax, I put my hypnosis voice on, and I help people just relax by counting backwards and having them imagine the relaxing.
• 9:27
  Once you get relaxed like that, what happens is your subconscious mind opens up and then you can get suggestions and information into your subconscious mind that will help change them.
• 9:38
  Okay, now.
• 9:39
  So once this woman gets relaxed, I had her, explain this feeling of this fear.
• 9:45
  And the fear is always in the body somewhere, sometimes in the person's stomach or in their chest.
• 9:52
  I've had people tell me the fear.
• 9:53
  They feel it in their head, and I have them focus on the fear.
• 9:57
  Now, the reason I'm telling you this now, because it just amazes me how this works.
• 10:01
  So they're focusing on the feel fear and I have them just keep focusing on the fear.
• 10:06
  And then I count back from 10 to 1 with the instructions.
• 10:11
  We're going go back and see where this takes us to see what the cause of this is.
• 10:15
  So I'm counting back from 10 to 1.
• 10:17
  I'm telling him, just keep focusing on the feeling of the fear.
• 10:19
  Focus on the feeling and I count back.
• 10:19
  And then we go back.
• 10:22
  And then I literally touch the third eye gently, and I say, first impression, daytime or nighttime.
• 10:28
  And then they start talking.
• 10:29
  A memory comes into their mind and whatever the memory is now, in this particular case with this woman, all of a sudden she goes, well, I'm in a car, I'm ten years old.
• 10:41
  I'm sitting in the back of my parent's car next to me, my little ten year old girlfriend, dad driving mom over here on the passenger side, little ten year old girl in the back.
• 10:52
  They're going to go on to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on vacation.
• 10:56
  They're from the Philadelphia area and it's nighttime.
• 11:01
  And the parents got lost.
• 11:03
  They got lost.
• 11:03
  The parents got lost in this car, and in the process of getting lost, they get into this big fight.
• 11:10
  One of these fights blown out of proportion, screaming, yelling, cursing.
• 11:13
  The little ten year ago, sitting in the back.
• 11:16
  She's horrified.
• 11:17
  The most powerful people she knows, her parents.
• 11:19
  They're lost.
• 11:19
  They're fighting right out of control.
• 11:22
  And she's she's embarrassed how?
• 11:24
  They're acting in front of the ten year old girlfriend.
• 11:26
  This is called the initial losing event.
• 11:28
  Okay, so this event is in her mind.
• 11:31
  It's in the ten year old part of her mind.
• 11:34
  Now, as a hypnotherapist that knows what they're doing, all we have to do is help the ten year old realize she can be safe.
• 11:43
  How do we do that?
• 11:45
  There's a lot of ways of doing it.
• 11:46
  Bit inner child work.
• 11:48
  We have heard that the ten year old girl realize she's safe.
• 11:51
  I go through a whole bunch of steps to make the ten year old realize she's safe now.
• 11:56
  Wait to hear this.
• 11:58
  Once the ten year old realizes, she say she feels totally different, and when she feels totally different, the sphere is gone.
• 12:09
  And when the fear is gone in the ten year old, the fear is going in the adult.
• 12:14
  And in a nutshell, that's it.
• 12:16
  I mean, there's a lot more to it than that.
• 12:18
  But in a nutshell, that changes how she feels.
• 12:23
  And once that happens, the person feels differently and now she can drive more.
• 12:27
  I did one session with her.
• 12:29
  She could drive wherever she wants now, but that again, so awesome.
• 12:34
  It's typical.
• 12:35
  It goes back to an initializing event.
• 12:39
  and it could be anything.
• 12:40
  It could be something obscure.
• 12:41
  Sometimes once we work on that, it changes.
• 12:46
  Now, this is what I was taught in hypnosis school.
• 12:49
  A thought is like a hologram.
• 12:51
  What does that mean?
• 12:52
  Well, if you let's picture a dollar bill is a hologram, all right?
• 12:56
  If you tear off a corner of that dollar bill, all the information in the hologram is exactly the same.
• 13:02
  So even that corner, it's like a DNA code.
• 13:04
  You think all that information is the same.
• 13:07
  So if that dollar bills a thought and the thought of that dollar bill was a phrase made of driving someplace, but we introduced new information to that.
• 13:17
  We change the thought permanently.
• 13:21
  Once that thought has changed permanently, where it's not afraid anymore, it's perfect. He's not afraid anymore.
• 13:28
  She feels differently.
• 13:29
  So that's at the thought level.
• 13:29
  How it works.
• 13:31
  You're introducing new information to a thought permanently changes.
• 13:35
  Boom. You feel differently.
• 13:37
  And that's one of the reasons I love this work.
• 13:40
  You can take somebody that I mean, I've worked with people that have been in therapy 25 years plus, and within a couple sessions, they didn't want to go to therapy anymore.
• 13:50
  And I'm not saying there's anything wrong with therapy.
• 13:52
  I think cognitive therapy can be very helpful and very good and very productive.
• 13:56
  And I just think it's very positive.
• 13:59
  But sometimes you just keep talking and talking and talking and maybe you're ready to make a move now.
• 14:03
  It's okay to talk all the time soon, but sometimes you want to go.
• 14:06
  You know what? I'm tired of talking about this.
• 14:09
  I want to feel differently about it.
• 14:11
  And then you come to somebody like me, okay?
• 14:13
  Or some.
• 14:14
  Yeah, right.
• 14:14
  Sometimes the root of the cause is deeper than what you can remember when you're just doing cognitive therapy.
• 14:20
  Exactly.
• 14:21
  So okay, so speaking of that.
• 14:23
  So you ended up doing a past life regression.
• 14:25
  So in many lives, many masters, it starts with with talk therapy.
• 14:29
  And then it goes into an inner child regression basically inner child work.
• 14:34
  And she's still anxious and they end up doing past life regression.
• 14:38
  And it was like an accident.
• 14:39
  He rolls into doing this past by accident, and she starts talking about memories she's had in past lives.
• 14:46
  And basically over and over and over, she's doing this and she, you know, a short time later walks out of his office and she is like, no longer anxious.
• 14:55
  And she is like radiating light.
• 14:57
  And she feels incredible.
• 14:59
  So, so the idea of a past life, though, is that, you know, when we die, we go back to wherever we go, and then we come back into another body and we do it again.
• 15:13
  Yes. Which is like a, you know, reincarnation.
• 15:16
  Not everybody is on board with this.
• 15:18
  but that's okay.
• 15:20
  That's okay. Yeah. It's okay, that's okay.
• 15:22
  So tell us about your experience, your first ever past life regression, when you were kind of, like, rolling your eyes at it.
• 15:28
  Okay.
• 15:29
  well, I was like, I was in the class.
• 15:32
  We did a past life regression, and, like, okay.
• 15:35
  And the information that I gleaned from this past life regression was I had recently broken up with someone who I was engaged to at the time.
• 15:46
  And I remember it was really I thought it was a good decision.
• 15:49
  And what the past life regression, basically just said, yes, that was a good decision.
• 15:55
  That was a great decision for you to make.
• 15:58
  And interestingly enough, there was a woman in the class that that's all she did was pass like progressions because the, the instructor introduced her.
• 16:07
  So I when the class was over, I literally ran over to her like, oh, can I ask you a question?
• 16:12
  Sure. Yeah.
• 16:12
  And I told her about it. She goes, I go, do you think it really happened?
• 16:17
  And she said to me, did you get something out of it?
• 16:21
  I said, yes, she goes, does it really matter?
• 16:24
  And I go, well, I didn't think of it like that.
• 16:26
  Yeah. Okay.
• 16:27
  So whether it did happen or not, it did matter.
• 16:29
  But my, the thing I, the thing I love about it is that past life regression is usually done for spiritual purpose because you're, you will learn something about your past lives.
• 16:41
  And one of my spiritual teachers now, David R Hawkins, said, we're all here to enhance our karma, refresh our karma, make the karma happier, healthier, more loving, more unconditional loving.
• 16:54
  And that message, you know, really communicated to me.
• 16:58
  I mentioned David O. Hawkins. He's one of my spiritual teachers.
• 17:01
  I was turned on him by Wayne Dyer.
• 17:04
  And I don't know if this is the appropriate time to talk about that or not, but certainly Wayne Dyer recommended a book, and this book changed my life.
• 17:13
  It's called power versus force.
• 17:16
  All right.
• 17:17
  Wayne Dyer, who is a spiritual teacher, I would go to his seminars when he was in the Philly area.
• 17:22
  You recommended the book.
• 17:23
  This was 2004.
• 17:25
  This is an interesting story in itself.
• 17:27
  So I get the book in 2004, and I start reading it and I was like, I and I kind of put it away and I what do hear this?
• 17:36
  I put it in my nightstand and it got pushed back and I forgot about it.
• 17:42
  Four years later, four years later, 2008, I'm in my nightstand and I found the book and I started reading it again and I could not put it down.
• 17:53
  I could not put this book down.
• 17:55
  I got, oh my gosh, it's like I wasn't 100% ready for the message in 2004.
• 18:02
  But in 2008, I was and what's the message?
• 18:05
  There's a spiritual value to everything we do.
• 18:08
  Spiritual value in this man.
• 18:09
  David Hawkins created a scale from 0 to 1000, a scale where he could calibrate the spiritual value.
• 18:19
  And I'll give you an idea and you'll catch on right away when I say this, like Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, like a thousand.
• 18:25
  Okay, Hitler 54. Okay.
• 18:28
  hey, is like, you know, 91 envy is like 126.
• 18:34
  All right.
• 18:36
  Courage is 200 and like love is 500.
• 18:41
  Joy is like 600.
• 18:44
  So what does one of these numbers mean?
• 18:46
  He created this scale.
• 18:48
  And what he teaches in the book is you want to be above 200 for spiritual to be spiritual.
• 18:56
  Well, what do you want to be spiritual for?
• 18:57
  Well guess what?
• 18:58
  When you're above 200, you vibrate you. Your energy vibrates at a certain level and that's what you want.
• 19:07
  Now why do you want to do that?
• 19:08
  Well, first of all, for health reasons, anyone that really has studied health starts to learn that if you have negative information inside your brain, if you're vibrating with negative feelings, hate, anger, that is not healthy at all for us, you know, you have to let that go.
• 19:28
  And he teaches you in a book.
• 19:29
  He just teaches you the scale.
• 19:30
  I want you once, once I saw these words in the scale, I never thought of it.
• 19:35
  I never conceived of anything like that, that there's a scale.
• 19:39
  And I said to myself, well, you know, you want to be above 200 here, pal.
• 19:44
  To me, I'm saying this to myself, and I don't know if you remember this lower, but that Christmas, all three of my children got a copy of I Still Have It.
• 19:53
  Yes, all three of my God.
• 19:55
  I think at this point they.
• 19:56
  I think they may have all read it by now.
• 19:56
  I know Mike did.
• 19:59
  I'm sure you probably did.
• 20:00
  I've skimmed it.
• 20:02
  I wouldn't say I read it cover to cover. Okay. All right.
• 20:04
  but it might, it might be worth.
• 20:06
  Might be worth, you know, jumping back in and actually Christian Bridge on this podcast mentioned the emotional frequency scale.
• 20:14
  Yes. Did.
• 20:15
  you've heard the expression moment.
• 20:17
  And, oh, my gosh, I learned so much from that month.
• 20:19
  Well, I love to share this.
• 20:21
  Like when my hypnosis clients come in, I always share this with them because if they get something out or if they get just a fraction out of it, what happened to me with my own life?
• 20:30
  It's it's just life changing.
• 20:32
  I'm watching David Hawkins in one of his seminars and I heard him say this.
• 20:39
  He said, all life is in a constant state of creation and evolution.
• 20:45
  He said, creation evolution or the exact same thing.
• 20:50
  But then he said everything.
• 20:55
  Everything is unfolding exactly as it should.
• 21:01
  Who are you to say it shouldn't be this way?
• 21:04
  You're going to tell the creator of the universe.
• 21:06
  It shouldn't be this one.
• 21:10
  And when I heard him say that, I'm like, I was supposed to have that biological father that never gave me a birthday card or a Christmas card and ignored me.
• 21:23
  I was supposed to get divorced in 91.
• 21:29
  I supposed to get screwed out of that money in 93.
• 21:34
  I was supposed to meet the woman of my dreams in 95.
• 21:41
  I was supposed to be on Lori's podcast right now.
• 21:46
  It's like, what?
• 21:47
  And what do I got out of?
• 21:50
  That was acceptance.
• 21:53
  And that instantaneously freed me from anything from the past.
• 21:58
  Anything, anyone, any event.
• 22:01
  It's like my whole body. Just what I wish.
• 22:03
  And I literally felt this palatable energy flow through my body at that moment.
• 22:08
  I was like, oh my gosh, I am free.
• 22:12
  And I felt this incredible feeling of openness and just energy and flowing and just acceptance, and it was just liberating and literally changed my life.
• 22:25
  You can't be bitching about what happened yesterday.
• 22:29
  It's yesterday.
• 22:30
  It's gone.
• 22:31
  There's nothing we can do about it.
• 22:33
  You can just make the best out of your situation.
• 22:36
  And that just changed my entire life and attitude on the spot, on the spot was like, oh my gosh, it was great.
• 22:44
  It was just a great thing.
• 22:45
  I mean, many, many years ago I got into like a heated argument with, politics with my brother in law.
• 22:51
  I would never do that now. Ever.
• 22:53
  God bless you.
• 22:54
  Whatever you want to thank.
• 22:55
  God bless you.
• 22:56
  That's fine. It's okay.
• 22:57
  It's okay if we think differently.
• 22:59
  It's okay. We're all evolving.
• 23:02
  We're all moving.
• 23:03
  And there is a bigger trend now in spirituality.
• 23:07
  There's ever been in the history of the world based on the calibrations of this man's book, power versus force.
• 23:14
  And it's just it's just great.
• 23:16
  It's just really great.
• 23:17
  Now, you know, we're all human beings.
• 23:19
  So there might be something that happens, something that comes up, but you, you catch yourself.
• 23:22
  I had a situation out a couple of years ago where I was doing this computer work.
• 23:27
  I had two hours of computer work and somehow it just it deleted.
• 23:31
  I couldn't get it back.
• 23:33
  I'm like, what the.
• 23:35
  And that was using the F word.
• 23:37
  And I started cursing and like, my wife is going, are you okay?
• 23:40
  Because she never hears me act like that.
• 23:42
  And then I realized, it's okay.
• 23:44
  So it was a few minutes.
• 23:44
  I was a little insane.
• 23:47
  I took some deep breaths. Okay. No.
• 23:49
  It's okay. I'm going to be fine.
• 23:51
  Yeah, it's gonna be fine.
• 23:52
  And once you have that attitude, once you can control yourself like that.
• 23:56
  And that goes into, you know, the laws of the mind that I teach my clients that I love to share and the basic law of the mind.
• 24:03
  And I can ask you the law, but you know the answer.
• 24:05
  Your what's your single greatest power?
• 24:07
  I ask all my clients this what is your single greatest power and law?
• 24:12
  What is your single greatest power?
• 24:15
  Choose the choice.
• 24:16
  The choice?
• 24:17
  Of course I do.
• 24:18
  Yes, of course I do have the power to choose your thoughts.
• 24:21
  The power to choose your.
• 24:22
  Choose your thoughts.
• 24:24
  What does that mean? The power to choose your thoughts.
• 24:26
  Because if you have the power to choose your thoughts, you can constantly choose the loving, happy, positive, happy thoughts.
• 24:33
  Confident thoughts.
• 24:34
  Yeah, once you can do that, boom! You're in.
• 24:37
  What are the two most important words you think or say?
• 24:40
  I've heard people say, oh, I am, I am right.
• 24:43
  What? Why is I am?
• 24:45
  Because whatever follows I am is something we live up to or live down to.
• 24:50
  Okay?
• 24:51
  Because the number one trait of the human mind, the number one trait of the human mind, our minds always go in the direction of our thoughts.
• 24:58
  What we think about what we hold in mind.
• 25:00
  We tend to manifest.
• 25:01
  That's not me saying this.
• 25:03
  Spiritual masters, motivational teachers have said this for the millennia.
• 25:08
  So, you know, you have to be aware of what you're saying.
• 25:11
  Just hearing this now and thinking and talking to your how you're talking to yourself.
• 25:16
  Oh yeah. Self-talk.
• 25:16
  It's the most important thing.
• 25:18
  Yeah.
• 25:18
  How we communicate with ourselves now, just hearing this is going to make you be more cognizant of this.
• 25:24
  Just hearing this now is going to be helpful to you.
• 25:27
  And I learned that from David or Hawkins.
• 25:29
  Just hearing this stuff is going to help you be more well, you know, you keep saying you learned from David Hawkins, but I was a child before you read this book, and you were saying things to me like, don't use the word hate.
• 25:40
  So I just want to point out that, yes, you, you always you have never been the guy that's been like ranting or or, you know, complaining.
• 25:49
  Like I don't remember you ever really complaining as a kid.
• 25:51
  I feel like I remember using the F-word like one time in the back of the card.
• 25:54
  I can't remember what it was about, but you were, like, angry one time in my childhood.
• 25:58
  Like, that's good.
• 25:59
  And so I know that you know this.
• 26:02
  You know this book.
• 26:03
  Maybe it opened you up a little bit more or like, gave you some, maybe things to say and talk about.
• 26:09
  I have to say this that one time I was angry in the car.
• 26:12
  You already know what it is.
• 26:14
  I did it intentionally to give you.
• 26:16
  Your brother was in the car with you?
• 26:18
  Yeah. Yes, I did it intentionally.
• 26:21
  I don't remember specifically what it was for.
• 26:25
  It was. It was.
• 26:25
  There was a lesson underneath of it about something either hard work or paying attention, or it was a lesson underneath.
• 26:32
  And the reason I did that was because just to really get your attention.
• 26:36
  And so I really only did it one time and you still remember it, whether you remember what it was or not was I don't remember what it was, but that's okay.
• 26:42
  But as a child, you did selfless. Yeah.
• 26:45
  Let's put it that way.
• 26:47
  maybe.
• 26:48
  Yeah, yeah.
• 26:49
  So I am so happy that you're involved in this kind of work, so.
• 26:52
  Thank you.
• 26:53
  Well, obviously, it's been, like, ingrained from from a young age.
• 26:59
  you know, I we're like, we jumped around in kind of in kind of like, the best way, but, you talk, in your book, Hypnotize Yourself.
• 27:10
  Yeah.
• 27:10
  You talk about your inner advisor. Yes.
• 27:15
  And I just thought that was an interesting way to.
• 27:18
  And I'm assuming making assumptions here, but I'm assuming this is like, what, like modern day or what?
• 27:24
  Like maybe my generation would call your intuition or your higher self.
• 27:30
  and I'm just curious because, like, obviously this is like a multi-generational moment and, you know, you, you're people that you have been looking up to spiritually.
• 27:38
  I also look up to you spiritually, but I do feel like there's like a little bit like it's not like a disconnect, but like there's a little bit of like just like a generational divide on how we are defining things like psychics, our inner advisors.
• 27:51
  And I'm curious what you would say about it.
• 27:54
  There's inner advisor, the inner advisor to me.
• 27:58
  I think there's always an evolution on, names or branding or labels.
• 28:03
  Yeah, sure.
• 28:04
  So that's that's I think that's a constant thing.
• 28:06
  I think as long as people still get the meaning, the meaning of it, I think I just think that's the important thing.
• 28:13
  As far as Inner Advisor goes, there's a hypnosis session that I do, called The Inner Advisor, and I learn this in hypnosis school, and it's it's really awesome.
• 28:24
  It's when you're in one of these situations where maybe you're having, you're not sure what to do.
• 28:31
  You feel like you're at a crossroad.
• 28:32
  You don't know if you should do A or B, or you're trying to decide how you should interpret something if you're just not 100% sure.
• 28:40
  I love this inner advisor.
• 28:42
  and by the way, it's available on my website as well in my positive store.
• 28:47
  it's about a 30 minute session where you just relax.
• 28:51
  You just listening.
• 28:53
  You could very calm and very relaxed and having you imagine you're, like, on a beach and you're sitting on this beach and you just feel so safe and so comfortable and so relaxed, and then there's no one on the beach but you.
• 29:07
  You're by yourself.
• 29:09
  And then you see something like to your left coming up the beach, and you feel very calm about this, and you know that you have like a question or something in your mind.
• 29:20
  And this being, it can be a person.
• 29:22
  Sometimes people told me it's like a cloud or just an energy field that comes up to them and they send them this love, this feeling of love and acceptance, but they're there for them.
• 29:34
  And you can ask them anything you want, anything you want, and you get answers.
• 29:40
  That's the cool part.
• 29:41
  It's like you ask them something and then something gets communicated to you.
• 29:46
  Now is that something that's coming from the universe?
• 29:50
  Where else could be coming from?
• 29:52
  I don't know, a spiritual guide?
• 29:54
  Could be I, you know, I, I'm not 100% sure where it comes from.
• 29:58
  I just know that people get information.
• 30:00
  Maybe it comes from within them some way.
• 30:03
  Some information comes out of them that I'm not 100% sure how all I know is it works.
• 30:08
  People get something out of it, they learn something about themselves, and they make a choice about something.
• 30:14
  And it's it's it's positive, it's helpful, and it's great.
• 30:17
  It's called your inner advisor.
• 30:19
  it's kind of like a guided meditation.
• 30:21
  Yes, it is a guided meditation.
• 30:24
  Or here's the thing. Yeah.
• 30:26
  What is a guided meditation?
• 30:28
  A guided meditation is where they have you close your eyes.
• 30:31
  Yeah. Do some breathing.
• 30:32
  I'm like it's it's self up gnosis.
• 30:34
  It's just they're not using the word self hypnosis every I did guided meditations way before I got involved in hypnosis I did guided meditations.
• 30:42
  I would listen to something relaxing and, it's it's self-hypnosis.
• 30:46
  It's still the same thing.
• 30:47
  Don't you still do that?
• 30:48
  You still do that. Oh yeah, I, I enjoy it.
• 30:51
  Do you listen to yourself or do you listen to other people?
• 30:54
  typically I listen to myself because I know I like what I say.
• 30:59
  I like what you say, and, you know, and I can do it for I try to do it for every day for, like, 20 minutes if I can.
• 31:07
  If I can fit it in.
• 31:08
  And sometimes it'll be 30 minutes.
• 31:10
  I mean, it's part of my protocol.
• 31:14
  And if we get into, like, aging backwards.
• 31:17
  Well, yeah, one of the I mean, this is a, this is a, Yeah.
• 31:19
  So, being, you know, your daughter and watching you live your life you're happy you are in a relationship that fills you up.
• 31:28
  You like, love your job.
• 31:30
  You're I love my kids.
• 31:32
  I love your grandchildren. yeah.
• 31:34
  I don't want to give you a big head because I reserve the right to roll my eyes at you at all times. Because you. I my dad.
• 31:40
  But I you are, you're a great role model, and you've been a great role model.
• 31:47
  And, you know, you just turned 72, like, last month and, you know, you look good.
• 31:51
  You feel good.
• 31:52
  You know, you're, you know, how many push ups did you do push ups on your birthday.
• 31:55
  You always do.
• 31:56
  Like, did you do 72 push ups on your birthday?
• 31:58
  I feel like that's a thing that you've been doing.
• 32:00
  Yeah.
• 32:01
  Yeah, I, I keep you know, I, I work out one of the things about aging backwards is well over Covid.
• 32:07
  Let me, let me share how I got into that over Covid when I had free time, literally.
• 32:12
  I mean, all of a sudden there was no comedy, there was no hypnosis clients.
• 32:17
  There was nothing for a while.
• 32:19
  There was like just blank space.
• 32:20
  And I would say, that's just like, I want to be specific, but this, this is for like your age group with like, kids out of the house because there were working parents that were working and had young kids.
• 32:29
  And we're in a very, very different space during Covid.
• 32:32
  I just want to like, call that out.
• 32:33
  Yeah. Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that.
• 32:35
  Yeah. For me personally, yeah. No, I have free time.
• 32:38
  That's when I started writing the book.
• 32:40
  And the other thing that I said was, how can I live longer?
• 32:45
  How can I maximize my health?
• 32:47
  How can I have more energy?
• 32:49
  Now, you know that I went through a, a situation in my life like about 20 some years ago, even longer, where I had chronic fatigue.
• 32:59
  I was like, I got to the point where I couldn't lift my head, I missed weddings, I missed funerals, I lost, I was down to like 120 pounds.
• 33:08
  I was just terrible.
• 33:10
  I went to seven different doctors, three different states, was on four different types of medication.
• 33:12
  None of it work.
• 33:15
  None of it helped.
• 33:16
  Then I started going alternative.
• 33:18
  And once I started going alternative, I found a woman that really was able to at least help me get back on my feet was Chinese medicine, was acupuncture something called tweener, which is this massage of the meridians.
• 33:31
  And she had me do this green drink every day with like, kale and celery and all kinds of healthy stuff. Ginger.
• 33:38
  I put in this bowl and make a blender drink every day and the other thing I recall was like, stay away from dairy at the time.
• 33:45
  so I did those moves and eventually, and it took some time, I got better and I was healthier.
• 33:52
  But once I started studying this, here's what I found out in a nutshell.
• 33:58
  Just a couple basic things we can do to optimize our health.
• 34:02
  First of all, and I know you're going to remember this, Laura.
• 34:05
  sugar is poison.
• 34:07
  Yeah, I knew sugar was poison, but I didn't know how much poison it was until I actually researched that over Covid.
• 34:15
  There's no nutritional value in it whatsoever.
• 34:19
  None. It's just negative. It's negative.
• 34:22
  Once it gets into your body, it doesn't help you at all.
• 34:24
  So if that's the case, why should you consume it?
• 34:28
  Well, it's because, you know, we started doing it and they put it in so many foods.
• 34:32
  It's just I didn't know this one bagel.
• 34:35
  One bagel equals nine teaspoons of sugar.
• 34:39
  One bagel slice of pizza.
• 34:41
  Like eight teaspoons of sugar. What?
• 34:44
  I didn't know any of that.
• 34:47
  And when sugar is in your body, those carbs turn into sugar and it doesn't maximize your health.
• 34:53
  So what I started doing was more of a ketogenic diet, which is the low carb protein, healthy fats like avocados, you know, olive oil, you know, MCT oil, you know, fish oil, cod liver oil, healthy fats, you know, those kind of things.
• 35:12
  So I started doing that and that really that really definitely helped me.
• 35:17
  And also something called intermittent fasting.
• 35:20
  Now, honestly, if you would, if someone would have said to me at Covid that you're going to fast for 24 hours, I tell them they're out of mind.
• 35:29
  I've done three day fast four times now.
• 35:32
  Now what the heck is that about fasting?
• 35:35
  It's one of the healthiest things you can do for yourself. Why?
• 35:39
  It cleans out your body.
• 35:41
  It's called a top.
• 35:42
  A G is the technical name.
• 35:44
  It just means your cells clean themselves up.
• 35:47
  I didn't know any of this, but when you fast, you clean your body out.
• 35:52
  It's one of the healthiest things you could do.
• 35:53
  Like once a month.
• 35:55
  I just wanted to it fast. So I want to.
• 35:57
  I that's like debunk you here.
• 35:59
  But I do want to mention I just was listening to this Mel Robbins podcast literally right before that.
• 36:05
  I like Mel.
• 36:06
  Yeah.
• 36:06
  So she had this woman on this, like Stanford teacher.
• 36:10
  she's an expert and a researcher has written, like over 140 papers, researcher on, like health and fitness and specifically about women.
• 36:19
  Because what I'll say is like, what is out there in the zeitgeist is mostly geared towards men and men's bodies.
• 36:27
  And her whole thing is like women are not, she said.
• 36:30
  Women are not small men.
• 36:33
  Yeah, we are biologically different.
• 36:35
  We have different chromosomes.
• 36:36
  And like these cold plunges and the fasting and working on an empty stomach, like all those things are great for men.
• 36:43
  Yeah, but there's not a lot of, research and there's not a lot out there that is like saying this is for women.
• 36:50
  It should be different.
• 36:51
  For women, it should be different because of x, y, and D.
• 36:54
  And again, I'm I'm only 20 I'm 20 minutes into the podcast.
• 36:56
  But I thought that was really interesting because there is a lot out there.
• 37:00
  And you know, I think I hear a lot of couples and friends.
• 37:03
  Well together do something like that together.
• 37:07
  They'll do like a fitness challenge or they'll do like intermittent fasting and like the guy will be like, oh, I feel clear.
• 37:14
  I feel good, I feel strong and then won't be like, I feel wired and like I don't feel as good.
• 37:21
  Like, why do you feel better?
• 37:21
  Why is it working for you?
• 37:23
  But it but it's because.
• 37:24
  And also the hormones in our bodies and especially like premenopausal menopausal like we need different things.
• 37:29
  We need different things.
• 37:30
  So I do think like that has worked so well for you.
• 37:33
  I know that it works for Mike. My brother.
• 37:36
  I know that it's worked for other people.
• 37:37
  But yeah, but I just think it's just interesting to note because I think I have a lot of, a lot of female listeners, and I just wish that said, yeah, everybody should always try any of these things.
• 37:48
  You see how you feel, you see it's going to work for you for sure.
• 37:51
  But that's really that's really interesting.
• 37:53
  I hadn't heard that before.
• 37:54
  Yeah. I'll send you the podcast.
• 37:55
  It's a and I'll, I'll link it in the show notes to here because I think it's a really it's a really good one for everyone.
• 38:00
  what I love that you have done though, is you have, like done that you have tried a bunch of different things.
• 38:07
  You have tried, you have like, you have perfected a routine in your life that is full of balance, like you move your body almost every day.
• 38:20
  You meditate almost every day.
• 38:23
  You find, you walk with your wife, you have that connection, and you get outside almost every day.
• 38:28
  You watch jeopardy almost every day, which is like, you're my wife and I love playing that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 38:33
  So you have fun.
• 38:34
  You have, you have this and like, again, I'd like to know you're at a stage in your life where you, like, don't have, like, kid responsibilities.
• 38:41
  You're not running all over the place.
• 38:42
  And like, you don't have a four year old's at home. Yeah, right.
• 38:45
  So that's an easier time to to, like, really perfect.
• 38:50
  Yeah.
• 38:50
  That routine that makes sense for you.
• 38:52
  But I still think, you know, it's like it's goals.
• 38:57
  It's like it's it's what you want.
• 38:59
  You want to figure out how you can make your routine work for you in a way that, like, really feels fulfilling and feels balanced and feels happy and healthy and good.
• 39:10
  Yeah. And I love it. I love working out.
• 39:12
  I love lifting weights, I love it, I enjoy it.
• 39:15
  Yeah.
• 39:15
  So it's it's in other words, it's a priority.
• 39:18
  So it fills your cup page backwards.
• 39:21
  You need to have your prayer.
• 39:22
  What's your priority I want to feel great okay.
• 39:25
  I want to feel great as long as I possibly can.
• 39:28
  So when I play with my grandsons, I'm going to be able to play with them.
• 39:31
  I'm not going to be able to sit back and go, I can't do that.
• 39:34
  No, I'm I don't want to do that.
• 39:34
  I want to play.
• 39:37
  Yeah, totally.
• 39:39
  It's great. We love that.
• 39:41
  We we need some extra babysitters.
• 39:42
  So come on over.
• 39:44
  well, another another thing that I remember you were.
• 39:48
  And you were, like, an early adopter of Louise Hay.
• 39:51
  Oh, so this is like, well before David our Hopkins.
• 39:55
  Yes, but Louise Hay, I mean, this is Louise.
• 39:58
  Have people that don't know.
• 39:58
  Maybe you'd be better.
• 40:00
  Maybe you would do better explaining who she is.
• 40:03
  Okay, well, she wrote this great story.
• 40:06
  This is a woman back in the 70s who just wanted to help people.
• 40:10
  And she was from, like, a broken home, and her stepfather, like, sexually abused her.
• 40:15
  She had all kinds of things, but she just made a point to make her life good.
• 40:21
  That was like her goal.
• 40:22
  So I'm going to I'm going to make my life good.
• 40:24
  And she started this talking to people about how to improve their lives.
• 40:29
  And the book that she wrote Power Is Within You.
• 40:33
  Yeah, and it is.
• 40:35
  It shows you how, you know the power is within us.
• 40:39
  And she goes through her life step by step, the different things that she learned.
• 40:44
  And one of the things that she learned that I've shared with a lot of my clients over the years are parents are doing the best they can with what they have.
• 40:51
  They're not perfect, okay?
• 40:53
  And doing the best they can with what they have.
• 40:55
  Right. So that's forgiving.
• 40:57
  That's accepting, right.
• 40:57
  They're not trying to screw up.
• 41:00
  Sometimes they may have done things that, you know, we wouldn't do as parents or we didn't particularly like as a kid.
• 41:06
  and that's okay.
• 41:07
  So that was a good message in that book that I learned from her parents, doing the best they can with what they have and that.
• 41:14
  And it's it's an awesome book.
• 41:16
  I highly recommend it.
• 41:17
  I probably recommended it a thousand times over the last 29 plus years.
• 41:21
  She also wrote something called You Can Heal Your Life, which is a great one.
• 41:25
  And then she was a big fan and I feel like maybe like, did she create the mirror work?
• 41:28
  Like mirror work?
• 41:30
  She was like, yes, she mirror work was like that.
• 41:33
  That's the thing.
• 41:34
  That's the thing that I remember as a kid, which I also.
• 41:37
  So at Mirror Work, if you don't know, it's like looking in the mirror and looking at yourself, looking at yourself in the eyes and saying to yourself, I love you, I love you.
• 41:47
  The first time I did that, it was like I, I love it, it's so hard to do and I can do it now.
• 41:57
  So as a kid, you had us listening to these audiobooks and, I remember, like, I remember it was like, about a duck or an ugly duck, and, like, the duck was looking in the mirror.
• 42:09
  The duck was saying, I love you to itself.
• 42:12
  And, I remember thinking as a kid how awkward that sounds and how awkward that would be.
• 42:19
  I remember trying it a couple of times being like, it's not for me.
• 42:21
  at the Ellen Show, when I was there, we did, a show called fearless with Ashley Graham, where we did mirror work with someone that we brought on, and it's just like, it's such it's beautiful work, but it is so hard to do initially.
• 42:37
  Initially.
• 42:39
  It's so hard again.
• 42:39
  It's so weird. Yeah, it does that initially.
• 42:43
  It you definitely have that experience usually.
• 42:46
  Yeah.
• 42:47
  But but it's also it's so good.
• 42:49
  It's just like it's a good it's not so hard to do.
• 42:53
  I feel like it's hard to do.
• 42:53
  But it's like why is it so hard.
• 42:56
  Yeah.
• 42:57
  Well it's okay.
• 42:58
  Yeah. It's like it's just it's a good thing.
• 43:00
  It's a, it's a the easy you can try. Yeah.
• 43:02
  Yeah.
• 43:03
  That's that's in the book The Powers Within You by Louise say looking in the mirror.
• 43:06
  And I'm like yeah it's a great book.
• 43:08
  I highly recommend it.
• 43:09
  It's just it's just great, great vibe, you know.
• 43:13
  And one of the things she teaches in here, your life is like how important it is to have the healthy vibration in your body.
• 43:21
  well okay.
• 43:22
  We're, we're, we're jumping around.
• 43:23
  But we talked about we talked about your past life regression what?
• 43:28
  What do you think happens when we die?
• 43:32
  well, the way I see it, there's a the body goes away and the soul.
• 43:39
  I don't know exactly where it goes, but it's going to go someplace the soul is.
• 43:43
  I don't know if there's a soul back up there or soul.
• 43:46
  Heaven. The soul is up there.
• 43:48
  And then it waits for the next turn or the next body to come around.
• 43:51
  It's going to get in the next body.
• 43:53
  And you keep evolving to get to a certain point.
• 43:55
  And I think I heard Hawkins say this at some point when you, you know, you you keep evolving high enough.
• 44:02
  There's other realms above that.
• 44:04
  I don't have any idea what they are.
• 44:06
  You know, I'm still I'm still here in this human realm.
• 44:09
  So, there's other realms, apparently, that the spirit goes to.
• 44:12
  And I think to me, that's just an awesome, amazing thought.
• 44:16
  But, so I try to be, you know, I try to be as loving and happy and positive as I can and helpful.
• 44:22
  So if I can be like that, if I conditioned myself to be like that, that's a good vibe.
• 44:27
  I'm helping other people.
• 44:28
  And apparently I'm going to help that. That soul.
• 44:33
  I love it, I love that, I love it so much.
• 44:35
  And so and it's so funny because we never talked about that until I feel like after I listened to many last, many masters, I feel like you never.
• 44:43
  Well, that's. And that's not true.
• 44:44
  I guess maybe we did talk about it when you did a past life regression regression with Natalia.
• 44:50
  Yeah. And I was just like, I just.
• 44:52
  It wasn't ready.
• 44:53
  I wasn't ready yet.
• 44:54
  That's okay. I totally get it.
• 44:56
  And that's and that's good because we're all evolving, you know?
• 44:59
  So we're all going through this.
• 45:02
  We're all learning and we all know there's people out there that aren't interested in any of this.
• 45:07
  And that's okay.
• 45:08
  That's okay.
• 45:08
  If they don't want to time, that's fine.
• 45:11
  I like what Kristen said. She was like, they're on a different trip.
• 45:13
  It's like, yeah, you're on different track. Exactly.
• 45:15
  But talking about hypnosis and talking about the subconscious.
• 45:20
  So I've heard you describe that we have three brains, three types of brain.
• 45:26
  Your three, three mind.
• 45:27
  So three minds.
• 45:27
  So can you kind of explain that?
• 45:29
  three, like, the conscious mind is something that we would like.
• 45:32
  That's right. Now we're we're using the conscious mind right now. Yeah.
• 45:35
  It's conscious subconscious unconscious.
• 45:38
  What's the unconscious mind do.
• 45:39
  Runs the things out of our awareness.
• 45:41
  Heart beating, eyes blinking.
• 45:43
  Things are not paying attention to the subconscious.
• 45:46
  That's that's the heart of your emotions.
• 45:49
  That's where your program is.
• 45:51
  If you're ever crying or upset about something, your subconscious mind is open.
• 45:55
  Okay? It's open. It's.
• 45:56
  What's that mean?
• 45:57
  You're more suggestible about anything.
• 46:00
  Oh, you're subconscious mind is open when you are, like, in a high emotional state. Yes.
• 46:05
  Oh, I did not realize that. Yes.
• 46:07
  So you're a little more suggestible.
• 46:09
  That's interesting. That's interesting.
• 46:12
  that is so interesting.
• 46:15
  My, my. Yeah.
• 46:16
  What's a good thing there?
• 46:17
  Subconscious mind is an open book until until they're around ten years old.
• 46:21
  Pretty much anything you say to a child is going right into their subconscious.
• 46:26
  So that's and that's why there's so much conditioning that happens when you're a kid. Exactly.
• 46:30
  And that's why it's so important.
• 46:32
  The parents pay attention to what they're saying to their children and has acting in front of their children.
• 46:39
  Yes. Everything.
• 46:41
  Well I heard someone say once, you know, when you're raising your children, it's like how you're acting, what you're acting, how you're acting in front of them is more important than what you say.
• 46:52
  How they see you act every day and live it every day.
• 46:54
  is more important than anything that sends the message to them of, you know, with what's with what they're capable of, what they can do.
• 47:02
  And it's just a good, positive message if you're really, you know, positive and loving with your kids all the time.
• 47:07
  Where were you in being so, sometimes a kid needs to be yelled at.
• 47:11
  That's a that's a simple. Yeah.
• 47:13
  That's right.
• 47:14
  I know, it's like it's we're like, we're in the gentle parenting.
• 47:18
  Yeah. Age right now.
• 47:20
  It's, you know, which is which is, I think great.
• 47:23
  It's great.
• 47:24
  and also it's like also hard.
• 47:26
  It's also really hard to do.
• 47:28
  Yeah.
• 47:28
  It is that I, I, you probably heard it, but it's really funny.
• 47:31
  When I was a young child, if I would start whine and a crying about something, my mom would say, I'll give you something to cry about.
• 47:40
  Yeah.
• 47:41
  And that would make you think and go, oh, you know, I'm going to stop.
• 47:44
  I'm going to share one, one story about.
• 47:46
  Yeah. My mom.
• 47:47
  yeah. My grandmother, my time stood there.
• 47:50
  I distinctly remember this, and I still remember it.
• 47:53
  And it left an indelible impression in my mind as a child.
• 47:57
  And I didn't never had to use it with you and your brothers because you never said you were bored.
• 48:03
  But I was like in second grade, and I remember, I, I don't know if for whatever reason, I thought I was acting like I was moping around.
• 48:10
  She's my mom says, what's the matter with you?
• 48:13
  Oh, bored. She goes, what?
• 48:15
  No one is bored around here.
• 48:17
  You go outside and play right now.
• 48:22
  Oh, okay.
• 48:22
  So I went outside and played and it was never bored again.
• 48:25
  Oh my gosh, I know.
• 48:28
  I mean, Will's in a stage where he's saying that now and I'm just like, oh, you're not bored.
• 48:34
  Once they, they move past the first few minutes of like not knowing.
• 48:38
  Yeah.
• 48:38
  And they find something like there's a, there's an uncomfortable couple minutes and it's like, it's like you turn off the screen and it's like there's an uncomfortable couple minutes where they're like pushing against that.
• 48:49
  Pushing against that. Yeah.
• 48:50
  And then like they're playing like a couple minutes later and they figure it out but one thing that you mentioned in your book that I really liked was talking about anchors.
• 49:01
  Oh, yeah. Anchors.
• 49:03
  Anchors like anchoring into, you know, and I love this because Kristin said this in the episode about, you know, unlocking your inner psychic, about anchoring into the frequency of love, peace and love and, oh, I love I loved that, now, I was taught this by Tony Robbins, who I've seen twice live.
• 49:24
  I have an autographed picture of him.
• 49:27
  Tony was the motivational speaker, like in the 90s.
• 49:29
  Classic Boomer.
• 49:30
  An autographed picture?
• 49:32
  Yeah, back in the 90s.
• 49:34
  I used to see him.
• 49:34
  I read his books. He's. He's terrific.
• 49:37
  he taught me neuro linguistic programing.
• 49:41
  Have you ever heard of that?
• 49:43
  I mean, I think maybe just.
• 49:44
  You thought about it in your book, right?
• 49:46
  NLP, NLP, yeah.
• 49:47
  It's just a process of realizing that everything goes through our nervous system, whether we like it or not.
• 49:54
  Everything goes through our nervous system.
• 49:56
  So a typical anchor for a person would be like a picture of their family.
• 50:01
  You see a picture of family, there's a certain feeling it gets generated or the American flag, certain feeling that it's generated with a person.
• 50:10
  Whatever that feeling is, that's an anchor.
• 50:13
  That's something you would see when you see a picture of a little baby.
• 50:17
  You have a certain feeling baby anchor.
• 50:20
  It's an anchor. What's that anchor?
• 50:21
  There's a feeling inside of you.
• 50:23
  Okay, that is an anchor.
• 50:25
  Now you can have negative anchors.
• 50:25
  What's a negative anchor?
• 50:28
  Well, when you if you have a negative feeling about a person or a thing, I don't want to get political, but there are some people that just see a picture, Donald Trump, and they have a negative feeling.
• 50:41
  So that would be a negative anchor to them. Okay.
• 50:44
  And I would just say it, the association of the American flag sometimes now is like, coupled with that.
• 50:50
  But we go it's still an anchor.
• 50:53
  It's still an it's totally, yeah, whatever you're feeling about it.
• 50:57
  Okay. Now wait to hear this. All right.
• 50:59
  Now you can take these feelings, these anchors.
• 51:01
  And I do this in my hypnosis session.
• 51:03
  Sometimes, depending on the circumstances of what a person is working on.
• 51:08
  And they have an anchor.
• 51:09
  Something happened to them where they felt very positive, and they have these feelings in their body.
• 51:15
  And what we do is they anchor those feelings by touching part of their shoulder.
• 51:20
  Usually I'll touch a person's shoulder, I'll touch their right shoulder, and I'm touching the right shoulder. Why?
• 51:26
  They're thinking and feeling the feelings.
• 51:28
  Okay, now what does that do?
• 51:31
  That is causing a cycle?
• 51:34
  That's it seems crazy, but like, creates a button.
• 51:37
  Like I keep touching that shoulder.
• 51:39
  Then I have them think about other positive things, other positive memories, and I keep touching the shoulder.
• 51:46
  So after a while of doing this, when they're relaxed, all I have to do is touch the shoulder and positive memories will come back.
• 51:54
  Positive information will come to them, positive feelings.
• 51:58
  So that's a positive anchor. Now go to the next shoulder and put the negative in.
• 52:05
  Whatever the negative is.
• 52:06
  If they're afraid of something, if they're fearful about something, if they're anxious about something, whatever that is, whatever that anchor is, put that on this shoulder.
• 52:17
  Okay?
• 52:17
  Now this is this is right out of all English six programing 101.
• 52:21
  This technique.
• 52:22
  then you press on both at the exact same time, and you lead the client into the situation where you're like, I have them imagine they're walking down a path and they come to a fork in the path, and they have to make a choice.
• 52:35
  And you see, one path looks kind of dark and dingy, and one path looks kind of bright and cheery.
• 52:42
  And then you have to make a choice.
• 52:44
  Then at that moment, I touch both anchors at the exact same time.
• 52:49
  And what happens is that strong anchor overpowers the weak one, and it changes them at a neurological level because of the physical touch.
• 53:02
  And it sounds almost kind of crazy, but it works.
• 53:05
  It absolutely works, and it helps people shift some kind of negative energy, negative feeling or fearful.
• 53:13
  Whatever it is, anxiety, it can absolutely dissolve it.
• 53:17
  Now what does that do?
• 53:18
  And it goes back to something I said earlier about how every thought is like a hologram.
• 53:24
  So if the thought is a hologram and it's a fearful thought, we just added some positive information to it via touching it changes it.
• 53:35
  And once that's changed, they feel differently.
• 53:38
  I just had Valerie Meyer on who is an intuitive energy healer, and she talks a lot about limiting beliefs.
• 53:46
  And, you know, how we are energies.
• 53:48
  We are expansive energy. Yes.
• 53:50
  And we harbor these limiting beliefs for various reasons.
• 53:54
  Maybe it's our sponge as a as our as a child.
• 53:57
  can hypnosis help us to let go of some of those limiting beliefs, if anything is between a person's years, if they want to change it, hypnosis can help them.
• 54:09
  So everything's basically between our ears.
• 54:11
  Yeah. Right right right right right right.
• 54:11
  That's why, that's why.
• 54:14
  That's why I really love the work.
• 54:16
  It's just it's just so much fun to help people take control of their lives.
• 54:20
  I just I'm going to do this until I.
• 54:23
  I basically can't breathe anymore here.
• 54:25
  I'll be, like, 100 years old.
• 54:26
  Maybe I'll still be doing it.
• 54:26
  I'll still be here.
• 54:28
  If somebody wants help with it, I'm going to help them.
• 54:30
  It will be very cute.
• 54:32
