This program is designed to provide general information with regards
2
00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:07.639
to the subject matters covered. This information is given with
3
00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:12.080
the understanding that neither the hosts, guests, sponsors, or station

00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:19.120
are engaged in rendering any specific and personal medical, financial, legal, counseling,

00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:23.519
professional service, or any advice. You should seek the services

of competent professionals before applying or trying any suggested ideas.
7
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:32.960
At the end of the day, it's not about what
8
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:36.320
you have or even what you've accomplished. It's about what
9
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.880
you've done with those accomplishments. It's about who you've lifted up,
10
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.520
who you've made better, It's about what you've given back.
11
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:48.600
Denzel Washington, welcome to inspire vision. Our sole purpose is
12
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.280
to elevate the lives of others and to inspire you
13
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:52.039
to do the same.
14
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:56.960
Fabulous, thank you for having me.
15
00:00:58.759 --> 00:00:58.799
On.
16
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:03.399
As to have new people people and then they all
17
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:09.599
have a slightly different and I find that so and
18
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:13.760
so so important because because I identify different differently, so
19
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:17.680
you know, first person person won't be So I'm really
20
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:23.359
really excited to talk about what I love love for you,
21
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.079
your journey, what, what, what? What brought you to this
22
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.239
this what experience? Your life. Were you ready writing book
23
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:32.640
this whole thing? Wow?
24
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:35.959
You start off spicy, because that's a big.
25
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:40.239
One, and you know, please please, And.
26
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.640
You already said two things that made me want to
27
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:47.079
have an immediate knee jerk reaction. One word you used,
28
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.239
I'll use. The second one to use is that some
29
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.599
people feel and other people may not, depending on the guest.
30
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:57.640
And my intention and and my work is helping people
31
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:03.400
move from knowing to feel. Because until we feel truth,
32
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.840
knowing it is useless. So I hope that everybody I
33
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:12.159
can touch everybody at one moment to feel our truth.
34
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:14.039
Okay, okay, okay.
35
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.360
That was one knee jerk, and the other was identity.
36
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:21.680
I struggle so much with identity because ultimately we want
37
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:26.120
to get to the I amness. So when someone asked,
38
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:28.400
but you said, you said something better. You said, but
39
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:30.719
I'll talk about your journey. About your journey, you didn't
40
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:32.719
say who are you? So you made it much easier.
41
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.439
What brought me here is I've always been a seeker,
42
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.599
doctor dog. I've always been a secret, and I've always
43
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.840
I remember I can remember as young as I don't
44
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:44.960
even want to say an age, but as we be
45
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.240
as I was always like what, like why are we here?
46
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.159
And why am I life like this? And why is
47
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:54.199
this life this person's life like this? And why is
48
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.840
my religion or my culture or my skin color? Like
49
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.479
why am I different? And and sort of having these
50
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:05.560
like huge questions about existence. And so as a child,
51
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.680
I had an amazing parents, an amazing I've got three brothers,
52
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.879
but there's six of us. But my dad was the engineer,
53
00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:18.280
the analytic, the process orientor the root cause that the
54
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.960
you know, thinking things were always through the mind. So
55
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.879
I adopted and very I adopted that tasting of like
56
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:28.080
being analytical, was very strong in the sciences, very strong
57
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.840
in the maths, and went into engineering just to follow
58
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:32.879
in my father's footsteps, not really knowing what it was.
59
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:37.240
So did my bachelor's, master's mechanical engineer and approached life
60
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:41.599
from a very mindy, very analytical, very architectural point of view.
61
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.840
And then I have a beautiful, loving mother and she's
62
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.039
very compassionate and loving and connecting and family and growth
63
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.639
and and and be the best that you can. And
64
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.800
spirituality was important and religion for both my parents, but
65
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:59.039
she gave us the bubble of love. So I also
66
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.800
had this like love of life and laughter and zeal
67
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:07.639
and this beautiful embodiment of life from all of the
68
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.360
love and the connection and these ideals of my mom Pinton.
69
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.520
So fast forward, fast forward, had my children, bothering taught
70
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:21.199
me so much, and professional engineer, software board, all these
71
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.639
buzzwords that make you feel and look on piece of
72
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:30.279
paper very successful. And then a moment came the other day.
73
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:34.120
Someone called it my tower moment, a divorce. The relationship
74
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:36.959
was no longer healthy. There was things that weren't sustainable,
75
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:41.639
and for me, that was the greatest, biggest failure that
76
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:45.279
could be. And all of the house of cards that
77
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:49.680
I built crashed, and my identity the second time. The
78
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:52.319
first time, my identity sort of crashed of being a mother,
79
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:55.720
so going from professional to motherhood, but my identity crashed
80
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:59.399
and who am I? Not only did I lose a partner,
81
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.079
I also lose the family structure that we had. I
82
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:07.199
also lost the identity of being a successful I'm going
83
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:10.480
to put that in quotes and cursing. And couldn't even
84
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:13.000
maintain a relationship with someone that I committed to for
85
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.120
the rest of it. And so all of this crashed,
86
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.600
and in there that those ass things started coming up
87
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:22.120
really loud again. Because I was happy and satisfied in life,
88
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:24.920
even though I wasn't satisfied in my relationship. I was like,
89
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:27.240
I am lucky and I should be fortunate, and vice
90
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:29.560
is the amazing and I have everything because I did.
91
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.639
But with that crash came all these amazing questions, and
92
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.199
in there I developed my voice. In sight Timer supported me,
93
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.199
I'd go on there, do meditations. I nested all day
94
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.199
and did meditations and fed myself so I could feed
95
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.240
my kids. I knew I had to be full to
96
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.800
feed them. And ultimately, after listening to so many meditations,
97
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:53.160
I said, hey, I could do this, and I could
98
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.319
hear in people's voices. I could hear I could hear
99
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.000
their resistance, I could hear limiting thoughts, I could hear
100
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:02.399
limiting beliefs, and so in there started my journey of
101
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:08.879
my voice. So I'll pause because it's a throw it
102
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:10.160
back to you, doctor Doug.
103
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:14.160
Okay, that's fascinating. You know you said a lot of
104
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:18.480
area that I imagine, and the first first thing I
105
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:22.720
want I want to focus focus on and is not
106
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:26.680
not who I am or you know you not not journey.
107
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:30.800
More more importantly, I am and and and I think
108
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:34.279
that that's I know what you mentioned religion, the family,
109
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:37.399
what religious I'm from from?
110
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:37.680
Uh?
111
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.319
Which which is I.
112
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:45.040
Actually deliberately don't say. And I'm happy to share, but
113
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.199
I deliberately don't say, because then that puts me in
114
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.639
the box of identity. And ultimately, I believe at the
115
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.800
end of the day, we're all the same and I am.
116
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:57.199
And there's a mystery, and everybody calls this mystery different words,
117
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:01.040
whether it's God or the universe or Buddha or energy
118
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.720
or vibration. So I am happy to say and I
119
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.639
do say. But for me, my kids are like, Mom,
120
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.240
why don't you, you know, want to talk about feminism?
121
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:12.160
And I'm like, because I want us to get to
122
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:14.600
all I am this. I want to get to where
123
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.879
we see each other for the uniqueness that we individually
124
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:21.680
show up as, and not our political party, not the
125
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.240
skin color, and not our hair type and not our
126
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:26.959
eye color, and not where we came from, because all
127
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.720
of that is what divides ourselves and divides our ego.
128
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:36.800
Well well, and I appreciate, And you're right, that's as
129
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:44.000
far as as you know. You know where self come from?
130
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:48.040
And what I what? I what I is is from
131
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.399
a lot of a lot of different and we may
132
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:53.639
make a different different things, but the same same time,
133
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.079
it's there there, and and I think it's a lot
134
00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.480
a lot of people really really believe that. And and
135
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.040
then that's what a lot of people they have that
136
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:12.759
line with and I had that. That's the ash process.
137
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:17.160
What what you came from? First? First a broad a
138
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:22.639
book about it, motivated book.
139
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:27.120
Okay, so my voice started to come up. And it's
140
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.920
so interesting because I do a lot of meditations and lives,
141
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:33.960
and in there I always guide my listeners too to
142
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:36.720
look for where resistance might be. And I always come
143
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.159
to my jaw and my throat, which is ultimately not
144
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.159
speaking my truth. So as I started to do the meditations,
145
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:48.440
I out would come frameworks. So first of all, let
146
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:51.279
me tell you my company's name is. So it's my name.
147
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:56.279
Manel means attainment in Arabic. So I took the M
148
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:00.000
and put it in front of attained attain an ultimately,
149
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:04.000
I'm about attained. Attain means attaining the life you desire,
150
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:08.240
attaining your authentic truth. And ultimately, doctor Doug, speaking to
151
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:14.000
your your reference, we all know, we all know we
152
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:18.600
might articulate our knowing differently, So somebody might use the
153
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.159
word god, somebody might use the word universe, somebody might
154
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.720
use the word a law. But at the end of
155
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:29.120
the day, it's this knowing of truth. Our expression of
156
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:33.679
it is what comes out uniquely, but the truth is
157
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:36.200
all synonymous. It's all the same.
158
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:40.240
Challenge. You're there, okay, I don't we all? We all
159
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:43.639
do and I and I as challenge for people is
160
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:48.360
there's a lot of that don't recognize that that is
161
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:54.360
within them, and then that is within them. And I
162
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:59.279
think the process why why we are, quite honestly, is
163
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:10.159
how we can start to identify and realize that there's
164
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:15.679
so many that's all.
165
00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:21.559
Okay, I accept your challenge, and you're right, and you're right,
166
00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:29.320
you're dead on. So the language was poor, but sometimes
167
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:33.799
it's deliberate because I like to empower us to know.
168
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:36.480
We know, But you're right. Many of us are walking
169
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:39.919
around unaware. Many of us are walking around with our
170
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:44.120
eyes closed, our ears shut, remote and just streaming from
171
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:47.600
pain and suffer and struggle and the hardness of life.
172
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:50.679
Many of us are disconnected from our truth. And because
173
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.000
of that, they're coming back to the question that you
174
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.279
ask that I haven't answered yet. My book is called
175
00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:58.600
Transcending Anxiety from Fear to Freedom because of that, we're
176
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:02.440
in anxiety or depression. We're in fear, we're in anger,
177
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:05.879
We're in disconnection, we're in pain, we're in suffering, we're
178
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.080
in struggle. We're in all these things because we're disconnected
179
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:12.519
from our divine nature and our divine truth. So my
180
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:16.840
language was sloppy, but sometimes it's deliberate when it's empowering,
181
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.639
because I want all of our listeners to know. We
182
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.840
know if you just close your eyes and there are moments.
183
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.279
Even though doctor Doug, I agree with you one hundred
184
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:29.000
percent that some people are walking around not knowing, but
185
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:32.360
even those people, there are moments, whether they're I don't
186
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.200
know why, I'm going to choose this example rollerblading or
187
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:39.840
surfing or driving, or cooking or baking around the kitchen
188
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:42.720
table with their families, there's moments that they know and
189
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:46.440
they are laughing from a heartfelt place. They are feeling love,
190
00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:47.480
and they're feeling that.
191
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:51.679
Maybe maybe just this glimmer, the small, the small, little
192
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:56.200
ray of feeling like, oh, life is complete, and I
193
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:58.279
appreciate being here, and maybe.
194
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:00.240
The other nine nine point nine ninete nine nine nine
195
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.519
percent the ayac.
196
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.039
Well, well, yeah, yeah, I mean we we see that
197
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:08.799
time now right now now in the United all the
198
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:15.600
anger and the vision and it's I mean I have
199
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:19.639
friends friends that that you know, they they were you
200
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:23.000
know at least nex connection friends friends all of a
201
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:29.519
sudden sudden all of this anger and host post hosting
202
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:35.600
things on what what's going on? And and and so
203
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:38.120
as we say that, you know you do you know
204
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:40.960
what you what? You call them? That method?
205
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:42.960
What is that?
206
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:46.200
And let's let's go to I know I know them
207
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.120
to have a number of story where with somebody? But
208
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:53.960
could you hear one and then that story sory? Id
209
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:59.279
you tell the really really struggling and then your melodology
210
00:12:59.559 --> 00:12:59.879
you were you?
211
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:08.000
Yes, I would love to. It's another big question, but yes, absolutely,
212
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:12.840
this is fine. Okay. So my method developed the more
213
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:17.120
that I was trying to articulate during my meditations and
214
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:21.600
my talks and my blogs the steps too. I got
215
00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:24.679
to use the word surrender, but it surrenders what the
216
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:27.639
word that developed over time, but the steps to feel.
217
00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:29.679
At the beginning, I was looking for happiness, like I
218
00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:33.759
thought happiness and and now I call it X and
219
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:39.320
X co be happiness, joy, flow, ease, surrender, laughter, abundance,
220
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.440
whatever it is that we're looking for. So ultimately step
221
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.720
one we already discussed it. Step one is just awareness,
222
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:52.840
just awareness, if we just stop and become aware. And
223
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:57.120
I sort of danced around loving the word resistance and
224
00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:00.799
again writing my meditations and talks. When I asking people
225
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:04.240
to go into their bodies, I would say, see if
226
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:06.519
you could feel sadness, and I'm like, nonl what if
227
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:10.080
they're not feeling sad, See if they're feeling this specific
228
00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:11.759
thought of not being good enough? And I'm like, oh,
229
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:14.120
now you just planted it, because that's what remember I
230
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:16.360
said to you had listened to meditations, and then I'd
231
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:18.840
feel good. But then they'd plant seeds in mind like wait,
232
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:21.080
I wasn't thinking that, and then they planted it, and
233
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:23.720
they're attempt to unplant it and take out a weed.
234
00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:26.960
They plant something. So I started to use generic terms
235
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:33.440
such as resistance and resistant thoughts, and rather than name it,
236
00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:38.639
I give you the essence of we're looking for things
237
00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:43.159
that are troubling, but you use your language, you use
238
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.480
how it's impacting you. It's so interesting. I'll use a
239
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:49.240
work with client, and I'll say something and they'll say, no, no,
