you have or even what you've accomplished. It's about what

10
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.920
you've done with those accomplishments. It's about who you've lifted up,

11
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.600

Adam, welcome to the show.

16
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:55.920
Thank you, glad to be here.

17
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:58.960
That's good to have you here. I'm looking forward to

18
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.799
this discussion. You've got some interesting things that I know

19
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.719
you talk about, and what I'd like for you to

20
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:08.359
do with the audience is kind of explain your background,

21
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.799
what brought you to this point, how did you get

22
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:14.760
interested in this, and yeah, let's just kind of go

23
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:15.319
from there.

24
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:20.120
In my twenties, I had a pretty successful marketing agency

25
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:22.840
in New York City. I had some childhood illnesses that

26
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:26.000
were lingering, and I was using the asthma and handler

27
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.640
that little pump that you see in the dudes. I

28
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.280
was using that at least three times a day. I

29
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:37.239
like to joke that coffee bar and Happy Hour weren't

30
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:37.680
cutting it.

31
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:38.239
Now.

32
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:40.799
I was under so much stress. Now, let's put it

33
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:41.760
this way. One of my.

34
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.519
Clients was an attorney that defended two of our presidents

35
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.920
in Supreme Court. So new York City marketing agency with

36
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:54.439
high profile clients in my twenties, I just was burning

37
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.439
out and I didn't know it until one day at

38
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.840
a client, young guy even younger than me, I noticed

39
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:02.319
what was happening, and he said, I think I can

40
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:07.439
help you. And we started training over Skype, and I

41
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:12.879
practiced a particular type of breathing and movement meditation that's

42
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.919
known as cheatong, which I'll go into a little bit more.

43
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:17.280
Yeah, we'll get into that.

44
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:21.719
But I practiced that every day for six months and

45
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:26.639
it cured my asthma. So what ended up happening As

46
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:32.000
I continued developing this practice and looking for more teachers.

47
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:36.000
So I started to realize that this was lineage based,

48
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:39.759
that it's not necessarily something you can get from a book,

49
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.479
although you can read about it. You really need somebody

50
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:45.919
with a certain level of experience to guide you through

51
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:51.719
certain articulations and things that are really experiential. So when

52
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.919
you have something that's handed down from one person to

53
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:58.159
another for so long, and in this case sometimes thousands

54
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:02.960
of years, we call it lineage. And I started to

55
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:06.080
see that as a bit of a life's purpose, that

56
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:10.680
somebody saved my life. And if I could remember these

57
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.599
things and remember these choreographies and these poetryes that go together,

58
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:18.360
then I could share that with somebody else and maybe

59
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:20.919
save their life or the life of somebody they love.

60
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.240
So here I am, Here you are, and you still

61
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:25.000
do your marketing.

62
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:29.039
Yeah, I get a lot of calls. I did some

63
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.400
fairly spectacular things for a lot of people, So I

64
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.319
get calls. But at the moment I'm in, I'm enrolled

65
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:41.080
in a PhD or a doctorate in natural medicine through

66
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:46.800
Quantum University out of Honoluluguay, and the degrees actually Quantum

67
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.639
integrated medicine. So they're training me to be the bridge

68
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:57.400
between the mainstream allopathic model and the natural holistic books

69
00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:58.680
and our motto.

70
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:04.000
In so many ways, it's just whatever works, whatever works

71
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:04.800
to get you healthy.

72
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:09.360
And if something's not working, if the person that's giving

73
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:13.680
you health advice is prescribing something or or telling you

74
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.720
to do something that's that's not effective, then it might

75
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:18.000
be time to talk to somebody else.

76
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:20.680
So are you are you in Hawaii or are you

77
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:21.920
doing this online?

78
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:25.959
The programs online, although I've been to Hawaii, okay and

79
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.439
plan to go back for another training, so there is

80
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.399
some hands on wow, okay, but it's.

81
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.480
Amazing how now online you can get these degrees and

82
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:40.319
this information. But oftentimes I think is even more effective

83
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.120
than going to a university in person.

84
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:48.120
Having having been to university, I would say that this

85
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:52.240
is phenomenally more effective because.

86
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:52.240
I know.

87
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:59.439
Because these are recorded videos from in this case, in

88
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:04.879
this curriculm. These are world RENOUWND thought leaders in the

89
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:09.680
industry of health and consciousness. These are hours and hours

90
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.160
and hours of recorded lectures that I can listen to

91
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:20.000
and re listen to. The research papers and the the

92
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:25.680
research libraries that they've given me access to are astonishing.

93
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.160
How much how much we actually know that is not

94
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:34.879
in the mainstream. Yeah. To put it simply, well, yeah.

95
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:38.079
It's interesting as I've as I've interviewed various people, a

96
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:41.040
lot of them, a lot of them similar to what

97
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:45.040
you're doing, have gone in and got advanced degrees and

98
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:47.720
then all of a sudden something's occurred to change their

99
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.879
life and move in a different direction and they start

100
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:55.920
to do all of that studying online. And we have

101
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:59.639
all agreed, because I've done that too, We've all agreed

102
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.279
that it's amazing how when you go online you're actually

103
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:08.600
getting greater information and you become almost at a level

104
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:12.160
at least equal to, if not a little bit higher

105
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.000
than those that have gone to school for the same thing.

106
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:19.000
So I find that fascinating. So anyway, as we go,

107
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:23.319
I know that your studies started. Basically, I want you

108
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:27.959
to kind of explain to the audience Chigong, because that's something,

109
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.839
as you said, thousands of years old, and what is

110
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:32.800
that exactly?

111
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:37.879
Well, oh my god, this is such a debatable topic.

112
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:43.199
You know, Historically folks in the East wanted to.

113
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:50.079
Both live longer and have better romantic encounters, and so

114
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:58.879
these techniques were developed. These techniques were developed for intimate

115
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:05.360
relationships and longevity is an interesting thing because nowadays we

116
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:09.240
have a lot of quackerie and snake oil and and

117
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.439
side effects and all of these things, and a lot

118
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:18.160
of claims that are made, and so Chi gong ties

119
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:24.680
in very well with philosophy of Taoism. Okay, So it's

120
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.360
a lot, it's it's a lot. It's a lot to consider.

121
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:33.399
So in this philosophy, one of the foundational concepts is

122
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.480
to be like water, and so water when it needs

123
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:38.759
to be, can be ice. When it needs to be,

124
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:41.879
it can be gas. So to flow like water, To

125
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:45.480
be like water is to be adaptable, to be resilient,

126
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:49.680
to be to have to have pressure, to be able

127
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.199
to apply pressure. There's a lot of qualities of water

128
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:59.000
that form this foundation. So Chi gong loosely translated she

129
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:04.519
being energy and gong being practice is by my definition,

130
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.879
the healing side of kung fu, that gong fu being

131
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:14.439
and loosely translated the practice of movement. That there's a

132
00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:18.600
combat side and there's a healing side. So in this

133
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:24.399
yin yang kind of balancing duality, we if we go

134
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.759
into combat.

135
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:26.680
Will need to heal.

136
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:33.679
And so these longevity techniques became more with this philosophy

137
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:38.240
of Taoism, became more quality of life. That the duration

138
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.960
is a mystery. The quality is something that can be

139
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:48.960
reliably improved, and in particular with those intimate relationships.

140
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:52.200
Well so, yeah, and as you get into that, I know,

141
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:55.000
as I've looked at it a little bit, it talks

142
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:59.120
about the mind itself, regulating the mind, regulating the breath,

143
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:03.519
but also regulating the body and different postures. And I

144
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.759
found that interesting as I meditate, and I do a

145
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:11.679
lot of walking meditation that as I start to move

146
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.559
my arms and you know, and I don't have any

147
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:18.240
specific way, I find that I actually get a greater

148
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:24.000
sense of feeling of that meditation. And why is that?

149
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.320
Why is the gentle movement like in chigong? Why is

150
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:31.360
that make a difference when you consider the breath, the

151
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:32.960
mind and then the movement.

152
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:35.919
A great question, doctor Doug. Oh.

153
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:40.759
So the chi is as I was saying before about

154
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:45.000
the training that I had undergone, it's experiential. So I'm

155
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.919
going to do my best. You know, there's the famous

156
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:56.639
dowdi Ching book of philosophy. So and again to paraphrase

157
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.000
the Dow that can be explained is not the true down.

158
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:06.360
So I'll do my best. One way of one way

159
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:10.200
of understanding that she this energy that we're practicing is

160
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:15.519
that is the electromagnetic field that our body is generating

161
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:22.200
and radiating electromagnetism, and that when you slow down through

162
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:27.600
the breath, through for example, walking, meditation and walking in nature,

163
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:31.240
that you that your sense is that you have a

164
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.759
sense ability to tune into this subtle energy that you

165
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:37.039
can feel your own.

166
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:44.320
Biofield. Yes, one of the one of the one of

167
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.240
the folks that I like the most is Rupert Sheldrake.

168
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.399
He coined the term morphogenetic.

169
00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:55.559
Fields, so when you're engaged in these gentle movements, you

170
00:10:55.600 --> 00:11:00.399
can actually feel something that otherwise may not even really

171
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:05.200
be detectable by most equipment. Although at this point now

172
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.480
they do have a device called a squid and I

173
00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:12.639
have to look up what that acronym stands for, but

174
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:16.360
it can't contact this energy field of the body.

175
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.519
Well. And you know, as you've as you studied, obviously

176
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:23.200
it's interesting to me. I mean, you've studied with doctor

177
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:26.600
Jonas s. Benza. I know that you've studied with different individuals,

178
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:30.039
and I don't know if that was a progression for

179
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:34.279
you and how does how does chigong fit into all

180
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:36.440
of that? Because you know a lot of times on

181
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:39.240
the podcast we talk about meditation and I am a

182
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:44.120
big advocate of meditation and how it can literally change

183
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:48.000
your life. But how how does chigong fit into the

184
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.120
modern day teachings that we get from doctor Dispensa and

185
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.639
other people, because I know you've studied with a number

186
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:57.039
of them. What do you find?

187
00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:00.679
Yeah, I have so much to say about these things

188
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:06.039
and trying to be concise for you. Oh boy, Well,

189
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:10.200
first of all, it feels fantastic to tune into this

190
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:14.120
subtle energy and feel it moving through your body, to

191
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:18.600
feel it clearing blockages. In so many ways, those blockages

192
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:23.320
are physical that our lymphatic system, the endocrine system, the

193
00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:29.799
lymph nodes, and the branching lymphatic vessels are pump based

194
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:35.879
and so similarly to our reason veins, the heart is

195
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.840
pumping and the fluid is moving, the blood is moving,

196
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.080
but the lymph needs a mechanical pump. It needs to

197
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:45.600
be manually pumped. The main pump for that is the diaphragm.

198
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:49.399
So the more breathing, the more deep breathing, the more

199
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:53.120
that the sewage of the body, the mucus and the

200
00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:57.960
toxins therein are moving, and then the internal organs are

201
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:06.840
digesting and eliminating. Chigong has choreographies that have you move

202
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:14.000
in certain patterns that express that lymphatic drainage. And there

203
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.399
are certain choreographies that have you moved in ways that

204
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:18.440
you would have never considered in your entire life.

205
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:21.480
Yes, so let me let me interrupt you just for

206
00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:24.039
a second, because what immediately comes to my mind. You know,

207
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.600
we talked about yoga, which also includes meditation, But when

208
00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:32.879
you talk about movement, is that something that anyone can do,

209
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.279
even as you get to be a little bit older,

210
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.720
a little bit more and difficult of that, are these

211
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.000
movements something that anyone can do?

212
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:43.279
Absolutely?

213
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:47.600
And to answer your question regarding doctor Joe Despenza and

214
00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:52.559
these other folks that I've studied with translating an Eastern

215
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:57.480
philosophy philosophy into a Western medical language and giving it

216
00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:02.840
a Western medical relevance, in particular with doctor Joe, who's

217
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:06.039
known for his work with La Cibo and his work

218
00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:12.559
with belief systems and in a sense being the world's

219
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:17.440
thought leader on behavior change, that there's actually a study

220
00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:22.519
of I believe from Harvard that shows that these techniques

221
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:27.000
done mentally in a mental rehearsal are slightly more effective.

222
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:32.360
So you can practice shigong standing up, they are standing meditations,

223
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:37.480
you can practice them seated, you can practice them lying down.

224
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:40.919
That you can practice them purely as a mental rehearsal,

225
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:44.320
and you're going to get incredible benefits. And I think

226
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:49.480
the reason for that is actually more difficult. If your

227
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:53.799
body is moving, there's a muscle memory, and you're in

228
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:59.200
the flow and you're making these gestures and you're.

229
00:14:58.720 --> 00:14:59.559
In the motion.

230
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.440
If you're rehearsing it in your mind, there's a lot

231
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.200
more There are a lot more distractions, a lot more

232
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.360
intrusive thoughts and other things at play that quite simply,

233
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:14.440
you could fall asleep. This is what happens for most people.

234
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:19.600
They attempt the mental rehearsal and then doze off. So

235
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:23.039
in meditation training, one of those if that's one of

236
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:26.000
those milestones to achieve, is to be able to make

237
00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:30.200
it through the entire mental rehearsal without And this is

238
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.080
where being able to do it in your sleep comes from.

239
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:35.799
So if I could do it in my sleep, that means.

240
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:42.440
That I can get the benefits of deep delta healing meditation.

241
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:46.200
Sorry, hold on one second, We've got a helicopter.

242
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:49.720
That's okay, I can't hear it. You're okay, great.

243
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:54.559
You can get the benefits of deep delta brain waves

244
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:58.799
that are achieved during sleep through meditation. So if you

245
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:01.879
can lower your brain wave state, if you can relax

246
00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:08.039
into that zone, then the body starts a regenerative immune

247
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:12.240
process and heals things, gives you more energy, makes you

248
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:16.000
feel great. And so folks that have any kind of

249
00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:20.679
mobility issues or any or anything might start to see

250
00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:22.200
them resolve in reverse.

251
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:25.159
Well, and you know, it's interesting. I love what you

252
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.879
said about the movement great focus because you know, anyone

253
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:32.080
that meditates knows that as you're starting to meditate, however

254
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:35.960
you're doing that, those thoughts constantly come in, you know,

255
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:40.399
and distract and to be able to focus on movement,

256
00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:42.759
which is just interesting to me because I've really never

257
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:44.919
done a lot of movement. To be able to focus

258
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:47.840
on that as well as your breath, it sounds like

259
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:51.919
it really puts you more into that state of meditation.

260
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.120
And are you saying that that kind of eliminates a

261
00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:58.799
lot of that extra barricular thought process that comes in

262
00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:00.200
that is distracting.

263
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:06.400
Yeah, you know, whether it's yoga or tai chi or pilates,

264
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:10.839
or are any of these systems that include a bit

265
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.799
of meditation or or our meditation focus, they're all self

266
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:19.160
hypnosis techniques. And so a lot of folks have a

267
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:23.759
misunderstanding about hypnosis. And you know, we've all seen cartoons

268
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:28.880
and things where you know, you know, cluck like a chicken,

269
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:36.200
or you know, something embarrassing. But we're just really slowing down, relaxing,

270
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:39.839
speaking to our subconscious in a brain wave where the

271
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:46.359
subconscious is active, and these repetitive motions, these focused motions

272
00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:50.920
where the breath is part of the where your attention

273
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:54.160
is focused, helps unlock those doors.

274
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:58.160
So with tai chi, this can be like the.

275
00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:02.079
Bal Like the ballet, it can be a bit intimidating

276
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:05.599
for folks to see some of those postures and say, wow,

277
00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:08.079
I don't know if I could ever do that. Yoga

278
00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:11.240
also similarly, you might see some people do some things

279
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:13.519
you go wow, I don't know if I can achieve that,

280
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:16.240
or it might take me quite a while to get there.

281
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:18.279
Well, chigong sits.

282
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:23.119
Somewhere in the middle where these are these are structured

283
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:27.440
around cultivating the energy of the Chief. That if you

284
00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:30.559
can bring these into tai chi, if you can bring

285
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.519
these into yoga, if you can bring these into how

286
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:38.279
you practice your walking, meditation, if you can bring these

287
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:41.680
techniques into how you do the dishes and fold the laundry,

288
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:46.799
that it becomes a lifestyle where you're in a state

289
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.119
of trance and you maintain a straight a state of

290
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:54.960
trance such that you can approach meditation, this presence of

291
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:58.400
being that is experiential, that you can approach that state

292
00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:02.240
and you can maintain your connection and your relationship with

293
00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:04.759
it in a much deeper in a much deeper way

294
00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:06.240
and for a longer period of time.

295
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:12.640
Yeah, so you experienced actually eliminating a medical issue that

296
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:15.279
you had, but you said it took about six months.

297
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:19.039
Well, I feel like there may have been at first

298
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:23.599
a chemical dependency on the on the pharmaceutical, and then

299
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:29.240
once that was cleared, there was a a psychological dependency

300
00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:34.960
that when an asthmatic trigger would occur, that reaching for

301
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:38.160
it would you know, need to be that needed to

302
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:43.599
be clear. And then eventually those triggers no longer whatever

303
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:46.720
was triggering no longer had an effect that I was

304
00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:51.960
no longer having the sensation associated with asthma where one

305
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:52.680
would reach.

306
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:55.400
For that that asthma pump. So yeah, that it took

307
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:58.039
about six months, which you.

308
00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:02.279
Know, what I find interesting, Adam, is that, for instance,

309
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:05.440
you know, going to a week long function with Doctor Joe,

310
00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:09.880
there's a real focus on healing. There's a real focus

311
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:13.680
on that. And quite frankly, as I went, I think

312
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:17.640
probably that was part of my motivation, was that healing.

313
00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:23.359
Now have I experienced that no other people have, And

314
00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:27.000
yet what I have experienced is realizing that, you know what,

315
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:30.279
that's not what it's all about, because if you move

316
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:34.039
past that part and get into it deeper, all of

317
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:38.680
a sudden, it's changing your life, changing your attitude, creating

318
00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:44.039
greater peace and joy and stillness within yourself. What are

319
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:44.960
your thoughts about that?

320
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:50.880
Yeah? Oh boy, again, there's so much to say about

321
00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:51.279
all of this.

322
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:52.960
All right, we'll go.

323
00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:58.440
Well, as I was saying, it feels fantastic. Our body

324
00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:02.839
releases and doorphins and horns, and we have serotonin and

325
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:07.799
dopamine and so these repetitive motions when they're tied to

326
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:10.720
the breath, when they're independent of the breath, there are

327
00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:15.759
certain techniques go one way or the other. That and

328
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.920
as I was saying, moving in strange ways that you

329
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:24.000
wouldn't necessarily consider. Some of the techniques are agricultural based

330
00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:28.559
their physical therapy and rehab or doing the types of

331
00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:31.799
tasks that anybody would do any day on the farm.

332
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:36.759
Other techniques when you look at when you look at

333
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:41.599
the great Sage Bodhi Dharma and his contributions to the

334
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:47.440
modern Shallon Temple and having been credited with Zen, Buddhism

335
00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:51.240
and kung Fu, that this Indian mystic that comes to

336
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:57.279
the Chinese territories fifteen hundred years ago, we have a

337
00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:00.519
lineage that includes a choreography called the bone marrow washing.

338
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:04.319
So they knew back then that the blood, that new

339
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:08.640
blood is created inside the bones, and that stem cells

340
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.400
inside of that fresh blood now circulate into the bloodstream

341
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:14.559
and go where they need to go and become what they.

342
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:15.079
Need to become.

343
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.839
And you know, there's a deeper science over which stem

344
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:22.599
cells can become which and which ones are harder to produce,

345
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:26.839
and which ones they don't believe necessarily can regenerate. And

346
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:32.839
then you attend a miraculous healing event like doctor Joe's workshops,

347
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.759
and you witness not only witness people experiencing what I

348
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:43.400
can only really describe to others as faith healings spontaneous remissions,

349
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:47.440
but that they're actually capturing the data live in the

350
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:52.160
moment as it's occurring. So you'll see a person's face

351
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:57.240
and that they've had a transformative mystical experience and tears

352
00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:00.000
are running down their face. But the brain wave pets

353
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:02.160
AT and the heart rate monitor and the other types

354
00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:04.599
of devices that are being used are are.

355
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:07.599
Showing h incredible activity that.

356
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:12.440
Wasn't present leading up to and then wasn't present after

357
00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:18.000
the moment, and then when that person goes for further

358
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:21.799
testing it, it'll show that they've you know, and and

359
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:25.319
these are the these are the kinds of uh experiences

360
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:28.400
that that folks are having that no longer have. And

361
00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:32.240
I won't I won't uh name all of them, but

362
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:35.039
you know, there there have been spontaneous for emissions of

363
00:23:35.119 --> 00:23:40.000
cancers and MS and even Parkinson's and folks you know,

364
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:43.039
getting out of wheelchairs and and these are have become

365
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:48.359
common occurrences, which is why, which is why these workshops

366
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:49.960
are gaining in popularity.

367
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:56.119
You know, it's amazing how that is happening, and now

368
00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:01.440
it's being scientifically validated. And you know, you talk about

369
00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:06.000
the energy, you talk about frequency. It's like anything else

370
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:10.160
as fascinating. As you know, as I've studied religion, Buddhism,

371
00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:12.720
in some of these other ones, it's interesting to me

372
00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:17.599
how there's that original thought and philosophy and then all

373
00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:20.400
of a sudden down the road it gets modified and

374
00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:24.079
modified here, modified there, and all of a sudden here

375
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:27.640
we are looking at things that really don't relate to

376
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:30.759
the original. So here's my question for you, because as

377
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:34.000
we talk about quote, the quantum field, as we talk

378
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:37.839
about energy, as we talk about different frequencies, what are

379
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:41.480
your thoughts and what is your experience as far as

380
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:45.480
someone who is wanting to meditate is meditating but hearing

381
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:48.839
all of these things from the outside about well, you know,

382
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:52.200
you should be using sophagio frequency or you should be

383
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:57.400
using binural frequencies. What is your experience and as you've

384
00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:59.559
said this, what are your thoughts about all of that?

385
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:00.519
Yeah?

386
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:06.079
Oh okay, So in context of in context of my

387
00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:11.279
training in the quantum program, whatever works, the idea is

388
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:15.200
to get you there. All of these self hypnosis techniques,

389
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:19.599
whether it's listening to brainwave and trainment, you know Monroe

390
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:25.759
Institute binural beats, whether it's using tuning forks and hearing

391
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:31.240
the reverberation of a self veggio frequency, whether it's counting

392
00:25:31.240 --> 00:25:35.920
your breath, whether it's doing a chigong or yoga or

393
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:40.640
or any of these. These are all relaxation techniques. These

394
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:43.440
are all self hypnosis, and they're all meant to get

395
00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:48.000
you there. So, by my definition, meditation is not something

396
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:51.319
you can do. It's a presence of being that arises

397
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:54.119
when you stop doing. One of my teachers, who would

398
00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:57.920
where I developed this this s depth, this personal definition,

399
00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:03.119
was responding to another classmate asking, you know, is there

400
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:05.799
any meditation music and is there something you could play

401
00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:08.599
in the background, And he said, well, if you're listening

402
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:09.920
to music, you're not meditating.

403
00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:11.319
You're listening to music.

404
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:17.519
And similarly with anything else we want to and especially

405
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:21.319
in when it applies to healing, if we want to

406
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:26.079
reverse a condition, if we want to regenerate our vitality

407
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:30.279
and reconnect with life force, then we have to we

408
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:34.039
can't continue to go in along with the agenda in

409
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:36.559
the direction we've been going. We have to go back

410
00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:40.039
the other way. So all of these techniques are going

411
00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:44.519
back the other way. But at some point, the wellspring

412
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:50.559
of consciousness is at that zero point. You've been bringing

413
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:53.559
me closer and closer to what I'm learning in this

414
00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:55.680
program about the quantum reality.

415
00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:57.920
So all of these things are fantastic.

416
00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:01.039
Let's say yes to all of them, right, but at

417
00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:04.720
some point you leave them behind or you turn them

418
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:07.519
off and you go okay. So you take your walk,

419
00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:10.839
and after enough time you go, okay, I'm going to

420
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:15.079
now sit and experience the presence of being the state

421
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:18.079
of meditation that I'm no longer counting my breath, I'm

422
00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:23.359
no longer practicing some mental rehearsal, that I'm allowing myself

423
00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:28.599
to exist and to experience the relationship with myself in

424
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:32.799
being this. So one of my professors, not seem harming,

425
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:41.960
had done some wildly complicated mathematics around gravity, and without

426
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:46.599
getting incredibly technical, imagine the shape of an apple and

427
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:49.279
pumpkin and any other thing.

428
00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:50.880
We have this.

429
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:58.440
Mathematical geometrical shape we call a taurus field, and so

430
00:27:58.519 --> 00:28:04.400
the energy is coming in, it's wrapping around, it's swirling, Okay,

431
00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:09.240
And Nassim Harmin talks about how this is the fundamental

432
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:13.440
shape of the universe, that from the smallest atomic particle

433
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:20.240
to the largest galaxy, that this shape is present, that energy.

434
00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:22.599
Flows in according to this design.

435
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:27.000
And he talks about how when you pull the plug

436
00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:30.039
on the tub, when you pull the drain and the

437
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:34.759
water starts to swirl, that the event horizon, that the

438
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:38.599
zero point of a black hole is similarly that point

439
00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:43.279
where the water is swirling and it reaches that moment

440
00:28:43.319 --> 00:28:45.720
where it now is going back in the other direction

441
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:50.519
as it's continuing down the pipes. So, in a sense,

442
00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:56.720
what the quantum model talks teaches us is that we

443
00:28:57.920 --> 00:29:02.599
have these mathematical principles of ent hanglement and nonlocality, we

444
00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:10.119
also have superposition that we're able to manipulate the energy

445
00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:13.240
system such that if you could imagine your heart as

446
00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:16.680
that zero point, that if the energy is all flowing

447
00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:21.519
through your heart, and that this center of you is

448
00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:28.119
similarly the center of all reality, that each individual physical

449
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:33.599
component of all reality follows this type of shape, that

450
00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:39.440
a there's an entangled connection that what you're experiencing with

451
00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:45.279
your system through consciousness is then affecting and manipulating the

452
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:51.799
reality as a hole. When you do these meditations. One

453
00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:54.240
way of looking at is that you've had a friend

454
00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:58.200
you just I was trying to describe this, he said,

455
00:29:58.200 --> 00:30:01.960
so you're flushing your life and I just felt like that,

456
00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:04.599
like as a great visual, like yeah, like all the crap,

457
00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:08.680
just flush it through your heart, through that capacity of

458
00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:11.920
unconditional love and let it feed back the shape, let

459
00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:17.440
it feedback clean. And so this presence of being that

460
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:20.960
I'm talking about when you no longer are doing, when

461
00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:23.599
you're no longer counting your breath, when you're no longer

462
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:27.480
rehearsing something, then when you're no longer trying to repeat

463
00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:32.079
your mantra, when you're no longer allowing your thoughts to

464
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:38.839
pass without judgment, when when these techniques have gotten you there,

465
00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:43.680
and it's almost like the moment of meditation is experiential.

466
00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:46.640
It's almost like when you go And I think most

467
00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:50.079
people are probably listening to this and not watching it visually,

468
00:30:50.119 --> 00:30:52.799
but I'm going to try to demonstrate, which is just

469
00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:55.119
oh how long was I gone?

470
00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:58.680
Right? That it's not you didn't necessarily fall asleep.

471
00:30:58.839 --> 00:31:01.079
You know that you weren't asleep, but you know that

472
00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:05.400
you weren't, uh that that you that that you know

473
00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:08.920
that you went somewhere that that you that there may

474
00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:11.759
be is a sense of traveling and returning. And so

475
00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:16.440
as I was saying, it's it's experiential. And the purpose

476
00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:20.680
of my degree and my and my training that led

477
00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:24.559
up to the degree is to help folks understand the

478
00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:28.880
medical relevance of all of this, that there are techniques

479
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:36.039
that are heavily researched, wildly reliable, and that these are

480
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:40.160
all available to everybody freely, that if we were then

481
00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:45.599
do diagnostic testing, we could demonstrate the health impact and

482
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:50.240
the positive effects of them. So with all of that knowledge,

483
00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:54.119
you know, it's just about finding the technique that you

484
00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:56.519
love the most, that you say, oh I could do

485
00:31:56.559 --> 00:31:59.960
this every day or at least when you begin your

486
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:01.920
she go on training they say for a season, so

487
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:02.920
for one hundred days.

488
00:32:03.359 --> 00:32:06.920
Well yeah. What fascinates me is, as you're talking about this,

489
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:11.119
it's almost a step by step process of you know,

490
00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:12.839
you start out, and we're going to talk a little

491
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:15.640
bit about how to someone start out, But as you

492
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:18.680
go through that process and you're listening to this, for instance,

493
00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:21.559
for me, you're listening to the sofaggio, which is music

494
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:25.960
the frequencies, and you're saying, as you continue to progress

495
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:28.799
and progress, you get to a point where you take

496
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:33.599
that away because now you're just experiencing that stillness, and

497
00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:37.279
that's when you've really achieved what you're looking to achieve.

498
00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:41.200
And that's when the body literally starts to experience that

499
00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:44.759
change that helps to create that better help. Is that

500
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:45.640
a fair statement?

501
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:53.559
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, because she going choreographies and poetries, let's

502
00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:58.640
do a let's do a quadrant. It teaches you what

503
00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:01.319
to think and how to think it. There's a lot

504
00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:05.440
of there's a lot of poetry that includes guided visual

505
00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:09.160
guided visualization. A lot of poetry with guided visualization that

506
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:15.799
includes visualization of light moving through the body. There's connections

507
00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:20.680
with that poetry to elements like water and wood and fire.

508
00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:28.640
There's visualizations of your internal organs illuminated with light. There's

509
00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:32.039
a lot of connection to in and so in traditional

510
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:36.839
Chinese medicine and how it relates to acupuncture and the meridians.

511
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:40.440
All of this centers a lot in the emotions and

512
00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:45.279
that the organs regulate, uh regulate certain it and so

513
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:46.759
I'm trying to hold myself back.

514
00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:51.799
From going and what to think and how to think it.

515
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:57.599
These are natural pathways that we we've had since as

516
00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:02.400
we've become what we are. So re establishing those connections

517
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:06.519
in the brain right now now you're thinking in ways

518
00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:14.159
that are natural, and restoring that natural, those natural connections

519
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:17.559
is easier for the body to get into that.

520
00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:18.360
Now.

521
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:22.280
The other two quadrants are how to move and what

522
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:26.000
to feel while you're moving. All of those together are

523
00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:33.480
so overwhelmingly that they overwhelm everything. There's no room for

524
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:38.159
other thoughts set.

525
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:43.159
All right, So so here here's a question. I want

526
00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:46.760
to go quickly on this. For someone that's listening that's

527
00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:50.760
never done any meditation, how do they start? And then

528
00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:53.800
for someone who has done meditation and all of a sudden,

529
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:56.880
you know, like myself, where I'm hearing about this begong,

530
00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:01.360
how do I find that information and how do I

531
00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:02.280
then apply it?

532
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:03.000
Sure?

533
00:35:03.320 --> 00:35:08.400
Well, another professor of mine, doctor Amika Swami, wrote a

534
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:12.199
book called The Quantum Doctor, and the shortest version is

535
00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:16.840
that until scientists find a way to animate an inanimate

536
00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:20.360
object and bring something to life or bring something back

537
00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:27.039
to life, then our entire reductionist model of Darwinism and

538
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:34.400
Newtonian physics is incomplete. That it applies to inanimate objects

539
00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:40.440
it has gaps, and that the notion that consciousness is

540
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:44.280
coming from matter is backwards and that in fact, matter

541
00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:45.880
is coming from consciousness.

542
00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:48.559
Okay, so I'm going to we got just a little

543
00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:51.679
bit of time. So how does someone start this if

544
00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:55.039
they've never meditated before? What's the first steps for them?

545
00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:55.599
Sure?

546
00:35:55.960 --> 00:36:01.719
So that she is your interface with consciousness. That electromagnetic

547
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:06.760
field allows us to interpret the information coming from consciousness

548
00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:13.599
into reality. So with that knowledge and with that perspective shift,

549
00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:18.199
you can now go and seek out, generally speaking, at

550
00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:20.880
a senior center, you'll find a tai chi teacher, and

551
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:23.679
a tai chi teacher will be trained in the energetic

552
00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:29.079
principles of chigong that express themselves through the ballet, through

553
00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:30.119
the dance of taichi.

554
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:33.559
Okay, all right, and so do you need to go

555
00:36:33.639 --> 00:36:36.599
find someone and then you talk about tai chi, you

556
00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:40.079
talk about chigong. I look at those a little bit differently.

557
00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:43.480
Maybe I shouldn't. But if I want to start learning

558
00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:46.599
about yigong and learning about the movements and do all

559
00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:48.039
of that, where do I go?

560
00:36:48.639 --> 00:36:51.119
There are a lot of great teachers online that you

561
00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:54.679
can look up on YouTube that have follow along videos

562
00:36:54.679 --> 00:36:58.840
that I love. Some of those are montac Chia and

563
00:36:59.159 --> 00:37:03.039
Robert Peng p E n G. There's there's so many,

564
00:37:03.119 --> 00:37:07.719
there's so many names. Domo Domo Mitchell is fantastic, Lee

565
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:11.679
Holden and those are the men. So there there's some

566
00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:17.320
wonderful women as well. Uh yo key y o q

567
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:21.320
I is a great channel this Uh there's so many,

568
00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:26.360
so many great teachers on online, myself included.

569
00:37:26.400 --> 00:37:29.920
If you search Relax with Adam, you can find.

570
00:37:29.719 --> 00:37:33.000
I've tried that. I've tried that, and I don't find you.

571
00:37:33.320 --> 00:37:37.159
I find it. You know, someplace where you're trying to

572
00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:41.599
get some help financially to finish your degree? How do

573
00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:45.679
I find you? In some of your tapes? Do I

574
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:48.639
end up going to LinkedIn? Or where do I go?

575
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:54.599
Sure on that same funding page to help with the

576
00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:58.559
tuition of the school, the medical equipment that I need

577
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:02.760
to perfer or my case studies for my dissertation. There's

578
00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:08.039
some video links there and specifically on YouTube. If you

579
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:13.239
search Relax with Adam, you'll find but a lot of

580
00:38:13.239 --> 00:38:15.880
my a lot of my techniques, A lot of the

581
00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:22.880
videos that I that I've recorded for certain techniques are

582
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:26.159
the they require, they require preliminary training and a lot

583
00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:29.639
of the teachers that have shared these techniques with me,

584
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:35.400
there's a respect that I don't publicly showcase these techniques

585
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:40.440
without proper, proper introduction. So a few videos that I

586
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:43.840
do have if if those are because I might, I

587
00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:47.960
might not be your teacher. I really believe that there

588
00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:51.880
there's a the right teacher for everybody, and who resonates

589
00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:55.480
with you is the person that can help you commit

590
00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:58.800
to the discipline of one hundred days of practice as

591
00:38:58.840 --> 00:39:00.800
an initial launching pad.

592
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:03.679
This is what I think makes a great teacher, and

593
00:39:03.719 --> 00:39:04.559
the right teacher for.

594
00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:08.599
You would be the one where you get into that

595
00:39:08.639 --> 00:39:10.960
one hundred days and at the end of it, there's

596
00:39:11.000 --> 00:39:13.119
a transformative.

597
00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:15.519
Aspect to guide folks there.

598
00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:19.320
But I could certainly help people the find the right

599
00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:20.000
teacher as well.

600
00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:23.480
All right, So as we close final thought, what would

601
00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:24.880
you like to share with the audience.

602
00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:26.679
Everybody already meditates.

603
00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:31.599
If it's fishing, it's gardening, anything you do to self

604
00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:35.440
regulate emotionally, all of these things are fantastic.

605
00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:39.280
Let's just develop this skill to a greater degree.

606
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:44.719
And have you access consciousness in a way that resolves

607
00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:48.679
in your life. You'll see it in synchronicity. You'll see

608
00:39:48.679 --> 00:39:53.639
it in luck, in grace, in little miracles. Life is

609
00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:57.679
lovely and wonderful and amazing and circling back to our

610
00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:01.559
original place where we started. Shigong is about quality of

611
00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:06.079
life and you can certainly improve that through these techniques.

612
00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:08.800
And wish you all well on your journey.

613
00:40:09.239 --> 00:40:13.079
Wonderful Adam, thanks so much. This has been so fascinating.

614
00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:17.920
I've loved this and you've got such experience and understanding

615
00:40:18.360 --> 00:40:20.719
that you've been able to share and I really appreciate that,

616
00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:21.760
so thanks so much.

617
00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:25.840
Absolutely, and doctor Doug, I'd love to invite you to

618
00:40:26.239 --> 00:40:29.679
meditate with me anytime, happy to We don't have to

619
00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:33.480
do it live for the audience, just to enjoy some

620
00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:35.400
time together with meditation, that.

621
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:38.199
Would be great. Thank you, and folks, thanks for listening.

622
00:40:38.559 --> 00:40:41.199
I hope you've enjoyed this, and you know, I hope

623
00:40:41.199 --> 00:40:45.320
that it motivates you to start really getting that curiosity

624
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:48.679
up to find what works for you and what teacher

625
00:40:48.719 --> 00:40:51.679
out there can really help you to get to a

626
00:40:51.719 --> 00:40:54.920
point that Adam has been talking about. So anyway, this

627
00:40:55.039 --> 00:40:57.760
is doctor Doug saying, no, I'm a stay

628
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:05.679
The court at calder hatted with here
