Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of Creefter Growth, where we explore the most pressing and profound issues related to the human experience, from our struggles to our triumphs, from birth to death, everything in between, everything before and everything after.
00:00:13.625 --> 00:00:22.210
I'm your host, brian Smith, and today I have the pleasure of introducing a guest who epitomizes the very essence of transformation and holistic well-being.
00:00:22.210 --> 00:00:23.344
His name is Lee Davy.
00:00:23.344 --> 00:00:26.667
He's a luminary in the fields of personal growth and global health.
00:00:26.667 --> 00:00:35.402
For over two decades, lee has worn many hats he's an inspirational author, a creator, a speaker, a retreat host and a breathwork specialist.
00:00:35.402 --> 00:00:37.107
Just named a few of the things he does.
00:00:37.107 --> 00:00:39.606
He's the co-founder of Connected Community.
00:00:39.606 --> 00:00:45.311
He's the co-steward of the Unified Alliance and co-owner of Imola Institute.
00:00:45.311 --> 00:00:51.405
And if that weren't enough, he's also the founder of 5D Breathwork and the co-creator of the Breathwork Atrium.
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:54.427
So to say that he's multifaceted would be an understatement.
00:00:54.427 --> 00:00:57.688
He's a true renaissance man in the area of human potential.
00:00:57.688 --> 00:01:05.688
But since I'm a part, though, he's not just as expensive expertise but his deeply rooted passion and his compassion for empowering others.
00:01:05.688 --> 00:01:13.268
He's on a mission to help all of us to understand and embrace our highest selves, beyond all illusion, beyond all superficiality.
00:01:13.268 --> 00:01:18.840
So, whether you're looking for one-on-one guidance or transformative experiences within a community.
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:23.852
It's been a beacon for countless souls navigating their own personal journeys.
00:01:23.852 --> 00:01:26.787
So with that I want to welcome to Grief, to Growth, lee Davy.
00:01:28.424 --> 00:01:29.427
Thank you so much for that, Brian.
00:01:29.427 --> 00:01:33.888
I really am grateful to be here and grateful to you for providing the space.
00:01:33.888 --> 00:01:34.611
So thank you.
00:01:35.412 --> 00:01:38.659
Yeah Well, we're all about here at Grief to Growth.
00:01:38.659 --> 00:01:41.087
We're about helping people to make transformations.
00:01:41.087 --> 00:01:49.772
So your background is incredibly multifaceted, going from breathwork holistic community building.
00:01:49.772 --> 00:01:52.250
So can you take me back to what beginning?
00:01:52.250 --> 00:01:54.462
What life experiences caused you to walk this path?
00:01:56.203 --> 00:01:56.725
Absolutely.
00:01:56.725 --> 00:01:58.501
It's funny.
00:01:58.501 --> 00:02:05.474
It goes back to childhood and around 12, 13 years old there was a.
00:02:05.474 --> 00:02:13.385
So I played hockey I think I was on skates at three years old and just kind of naturally had the physical side of things.
00:02:13.385 --> 00:02:15.986
And then my first love was bodybuilding.
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:41.061
I remember when I started that at such a young age there was a program called Body for Life and it was a 12-week transformation program and there was a book and I was going through this book and I just remember thinking, man, this challenge is cool, but there's something more.
00:02:41.061 --> 00:02:45.852
There's this fire inside of me to do more, to be more, to help people.
00:02:45.852 --> 00:02:47.001
I don't know what.
00:02:47.001 --> 00:03:05.709
It is 13 years old, sometimes I'm still not really sure, but I actually wrote the creator of this 12-week transformation challenge and essentially in the letter I said I've got this fire and the challenge is cool, but it's more than that.
00:03:05.709 --> 00:03:10.669
Maybe you can take me under your wing, give me a job, mentor me, something like that.
00:03:10.669 --> 00:03:19.271
And so, thinking back, that was the first time I remember thinking like what is all this?
00:03:19.353 --> 00:03:19.834
Who am I?
00:03:19.834 --> 00:03:22.106
Why do I feel so alone?
00:03:22.106 --> 00:03:23.465
Why do I have this anxiety?
00:03:23.465 --> 00:04:05.509
Of course, back then I didn't know what I was doing, but that was really the first step in this long lifetime journey of kind of putting my own pieces of the puzzle together to feel better, to feel more comfortable in my own skin and along with that journey, to let go of the anxieties and some of the mental health challenges and even physical challenges, to really kind of bring or clarify the picture of what I'm actually capable of and then somewhere along the lines that transitioned into supporting others in their journey.
00:04:05.530 --> 00:04:10.629
So yeah, Well, that seems to be the way it works, I think, for people like us.
00:04:10.629 --> 00:04:16.100
We start off with our own anxieties, our own existential questions why am I here, who am I?
00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:20.788
And once we feel like we're kind of figuring out, we want to help other people along the journey.
00:04:22.290 --> 00:04:22.711
Absolutely.
00:04:22.711 --> 00:04:38.610
Yeah, I really feel like that's, if not the purpose of life, definitely one of them, and I guess it is different for everyone, but essentially it's if I'm able to feel better, then why would I not want to support you in that journey?
00:04:38.610 --> 00:04:56.254
And if you look at it from a quantum perspective, we are truly all one and so if you're hurting, then I'm hurting, and on the flip side, if you're feeling better and you're more uplifted and happier, than that helps me as well.
00:04:56.254 --> 00:05:02.949
So we're kind of all in this together and I think we're now kind of crossing this bridge to that realization.
00:05:03.831 --> 00:05:07.697
Yeah, so you've done quite a bit in the years since then.
00:05:07.697 --> 00:05:08.673
So what was that?
00:05:08.673 --> 00:05:11.084
Like you said, this started as a teenager.
00:05:11.084 --> 00:05:12.422
How did that manifest?
00:05:12.422 --> 00:05:15.449
Like high school, college or whatever you did after that?
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:24.946
So it's interesting it first manifested in what not to do so band-aids.
00:05:24.946 --> 00:05:41.281
I drank a lot, got into drugs and just was really, really, I guess, partying and whether that's an age thing or whether that was a subconscious to dampen the pain that I felt.
00:05:41.281 --> 00:06:25.105
I imagine it was a combination of both of those things, but again, somewhere along the line, instead of dampening and putting that band-aid on the feelings of anxiety and panic attacks and all that sort of thing that I dealt with, it actually heightened them to a point where I'm like I had to stop, I had to seek for something different and something else, and I would say that was part of the drug, and alcohol was a self-discovery in a way that I wouldn't recommend to others.
00:06:27.221 --> 00:06:34.184
But again, when you find out what not to do, it gets you closer to what you should be doing, and I think that was part of the process.
00:06:34.184 --> 00:06:49.451
And then from there it was just like I said earlier, just all of these pieces to the puzzle and it's like, oh, working out, I feel better, eating healthy foods, I feel a little bit better, breathwork, I feel.
00:06:49.451 --> 00:06:50.079
So.
00:06:50.079 --> 00:07:02.125
It's like every step led me to the next step in the journey and every piece of the puzzle really allowed me to clarify my picture and then find the next step when I was ready for it.
00:07:03.228 --> 00:07:04.483
Yeah, and you've done again.
00:07:04.483 --> 00:07:08.769
You've done quite a bit, so I don't even know where to start with everything that you've done.
00:07:08.769 --> 00:07:09.901
So where would you like to start?
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.000
no-transcript.
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:23.184
I mean, breath is probably one of the more recent tools, although it's been, you know, seven, eight years.
00:07:23.184 --> 00:07:31.776
But I love starting with the breath because it's I mean, it's literally the one thing, the one medicine that we can't go without.
00:07:31.776 --> 00:07:39.298
You know, we can go without food, we can go without water for days if we had to, but we're not going to get very far for very long without the breath.
00:07:39.298 --> 00:07:57.064
And, you know, using it as a catalyst to go deeper into ourselves, to get into a meditative state, to bring greater coherence to the mind, to, you know, release and flood the body with, you know, with a virus fighting chemistry.
00:07:57.064 --> 00:08:00.670
You know how happy endorphins and feel good hormones it's.
00:08:00.670 --> 00:08:08.223
You know it really is the most profound tool that we have access to.
00:08:08.223 --> 00:08:11.336
And you know it doesn't cost us anything to breathe.
00:08:12.100 --> 00:08:12.360
Yeah.
00:08:12.649 --> 00:08:14.396
But most people don't truly know how to breathe.
00:08:15.490 --> 00:08:17.658
You know I'm hearing more and more about breath work.
00:08:17.658 --> 00:08:23.137
I just interviewed someone earlier this week that was talking about breath work, and I know you talk about 5D breath work.
00:08:23.137 --> 00:08:28.699
So what is the 5D stand for and how is that different from other types of breath work?
00:08:30.353 --> 00:08:31.617
It's five, five dimensional.
00:08:31.617 --> 00:08:35.471
It was just, you know, something clever that kind of came through, you know.
00:08:35.471 --> 00:08:57.159
So, brian, with my journey, like I would, if I find something that really resonates, as you know, one of my tools, or something that you know I want to incorporate into my routine, I do my best to throw myself into it, you know, and really learn as much as I can and really be able to do my best to embody it.
00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:59.011
And it was that way with the breath.
00:08:59.011 --> 00:09:17.754
You know, I have a friend, a dear brother who's, who took me through a session, you know, 70 years ago, and something happens when you do this deep, cyclical breathing that you're, if you're not used to it, when you're, the oxygen within the system binds to your red blood cells.
00:09:17.754 --> 00:09:26.538
You can develop something called tetany, and it's when the hands and the fingers kind of lock up.
00:09:26.538 --> 00:09:30.860
So I went through this first experience and I had a little bit of that locking up.
00:09:30.860 --> 00:09:32.373
You know that happened to me.
00:09:32.373 --> 00:09:44.499
But the calming of the mind and you know, the energy that I felt, combined with that feeling of the tetany, my first thought was, oh man, like I love this.
00:09:44.499 --> 00:09:51.851
This is, you know, this is definitely one of my things, you know, and since then I just started to play with it.
00:09:51.851 --> 00:09:57.895
You know, and that's that's what I'll take people to, you know, in our sessions is is play with it.
00:09:57.895 --> 00:10:10.403
You know, vary the speeds, vary the cyclical nature of the breath, vary the holds, because sometimes you'll hold on the exhale, sometimes you'll hold on the inhale and literally just play with it and lose yourself.
00:10:10.403 --> 00:10:21.077
You know, and what I mean by lose yourself is is the conscious mind, the thinking mind, the thoughts of you know who we've come to believe or come to think we are.
00:10:21.077 --> 00:10:29.418
You know, and you can, when you, when you start to go through a few rounds of the breath, that thinking mind begins to quiet, begins to shut down.
00:10:29.418 --> 00:10:34.212
And that's all I did was playing with it and and I started to lose myself in the process.
00:10:35.134 --> 00:10:47.760
And you know, fast forward to about three years ago and at the end of 2020, I was in Vancouver at the time just playing with it.
00:10:47.760 --> 00:11:07.356
I was, I was with a buddy, we were offering sessions, so we were really kind of getting into a flow of combining it with with sounds and you know, different, different, different types of healing modalities and it started to take on its its own, like kind of multi dimensionality and then three consecutive days.
00:11:07.356 --> 00:11:08.984
I remember it was like it was yesterday.
00:11:08.984 --> 00:11:42.519
I was, I was doing my own breathing, I would do it after the gym and in that space of nothingness and that, in that space of kind of losing myself and shutting off my thinking mind, just all of the, the formula, if you will, came in of okay, like you can, you can create not only a, a breathwork practice from this for others, but you can also create a teacher training and and and what I call the, the breathwork deep dive.
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:44.413
You know so it's taking people through this process.
00:11:45.090 --> 00:11:58.452
So all the components for this, this method, this 5D method, came to me in a matter of three days, like I didn't even I wasn't expecting it, I wasn't thinking about it or trying to make it happen or anything like that, it just it came through.
00:11:58.452 --> 00:11:59.515
I didn't even have any paper.
00:11:59.515 --> 00:12:03.092
I had to get a paper and a napkin from the front desk so I could.
00:12:03.092 --> 00:12:06.101
I could jot down what was coming through, and you know.
00:12:06.101 --> 00:12:27.461
And then here we are in the breathwork, the 5D breathwork method, teacher training, and now we're just about ready to launch the breathwork atrium in September is actually this weekend and into next week has all come from from me, just losing myself in the process.
00:12:27.842 --> 00:12:30.014
Yeah, so tell me about the, the breathwork atrium.
00:12:31.649 --> 00:12:32.010
So it's a.
00:12:32.010 --> 00:12:36.419
It's a membership portal where people can access.
00:12:36.419 --> 00:12:38.812
You know all previous recordings.
00:12:38.812 --> 00:12:39.432
I do a.
00:12:39.432 --> 00:12:41.498
I do a weekly live session.
00:12:41.498 --> 00:12:47.279
We'll have, you know, question and answers, like like sessions.
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:59.155
We're going to have a whole kind of area where you know, the community itself can, can interact and then also have their, have their questions answered.
00:12:59.155 --> 00:13:00.995
We're going to talk about the science of it.
00:13:00.995 --> 00:13:02.118
You know a lot.
00:13:02.118 --> 00:13:22.102
So so just essentially, a membership portal where where community can gather and and really leverage the breath and and have it as a catalyst to deeper exploration within as well, as you know, just continuing to optimize the, the health within as well and the physiology.
00:13:23.210 --> 00:13:23.971
So breathwork?
00:13:23.971 --> 00:13:24.673
What types?
00:13:24.673 --> 00:13:27.961
I know it has both physical, I guess, and spiritual benefits.
00:13:27.961 --> 00:13:29.418
So tell me about what the benefits are.
00:13:30.847 --> 00:13:31.149
Absolutely.
00:13:31.149 --> 00:13:33.591
I mean there again, there's so many, brian, that's.
00:13:33.591 --> 00:13:34.514
It really is incredible.
00:13:34.514 --> 00:13:37.753
You're going to and again it's.
00:13:37.753 --> 00:13:39.176
It's this idea, you know.
00:13:39.176 --> 00:13:56.679
For anyone who hasn't experienced it, you might think I breathe every day and my question is you know, do you, do you take time out of your day to sit and do deep, intentional belly breaths in a cyclical nature?
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:25.197
You know, because when you do that, not only are you expanding the diaphragm, but you're filling the lungs and all the cells to a capacity with which the way most of us breathe in our daily lives does not, does not happen you know, and so, through this process, through this cyclical nature of the breath, you are are creating and again, if you make this a regular practice, you're going to, you're going to generate what's known as mitogenesis.
00:14:25.889 --> 00:14:31.494
So the mitochondria, the powerhouse, the energy production component of the cells, is going to continue to increase.
00:14:31.494 --> 00:14:44.543
The microtubules, the little hair, like fibers within the cells, almost like scaffolding of the cells, they're going to begin to to let go of of denser energy.
00:14:44.543 --> 00:14:57.543
And it's almost like you know, without getting graphic or anything, it's almost like a snot, like substance that will weigh down and slow down the vibration of the microtubules.
00:14:57.543 --> 00:15:06.519
And so, with the deep cyclical breath, you'll be able to liberate some of that stored energy, so they'll begin to oscillate and vibrate at a faster rate.
00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:17.177
And so cell communication, energy exchange and the actual emittance of light is what these, these microtubules, are responsible for.
00:15:17.177 --> 00:15:22.720
And so it literally will allow us to get more lucked and coherent frequency.
00:15:23.923 --> 00:15:28.761
Where there's a, you know, there's a, there's a release and change in the chemistry.
00:15:28.761 --> 00:15:31.919
I mentioned the, the happy endorphins and feel good hormones.
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:50.443
It's like you know, the the body is, is infused and upgraded with super powerful antioxidants, with, you know, dopamine, with, with you know, even DMT, in some cases dimethyl tryptamine.
00:15:50.443 --> 00:16:03.682
So that's when the pineal gland, that that little gland in the very center of the head, it begins to activate right, and there's these little calcium carbonate crystals within that gland that begin to shimmer and shake, and you know.
00:16:03.682 --> 00:16:04.528
And so when?
00:16:04.528 --> 00:16:15.688
When that happens, not only are you, you kind of upgrading the chemistry within the body, you're more able to perceive the unified field.
00:16:15.688 --> 00:16:28.039
You know this field of energy that is all around us, that we're literally swimming in, that is us, but through the perception of our senses, we perceive ourselves as separate from it and or that it doesn't even exist.
00:16:30.014 --> 00:16:35.674
Yeah, wow, so that's just a little bit Sorry, so that's just a little bit.
00:16:35.674 --> 00:16:38.434
Yeah, there's so many benefits.
00:16:39.993 --> 00:16:50.356
Yeah, I've heard a lot of good benefits in terms of physiological stuff and also spiritual stuff, so thanks for taking me through that To talk about some of the other things that you've done.
00:16:50.356 --> 00:16:52.842
I was really interested in your connected community.
00:16:52.842 --> 00:16:55.477
What is that and how does it play into your larger mission?
00:16:57.412 --> 00:17:18.089
So that was again that was born in Vancouver, kind of alongside the breathwork, training and that sort of thing, and at the time we were hosting in-person events and we created some online courses and that sort of thing.
00:17:19.278 --> 00:17:21.109
And I would say that's migrated.
00:17:22.250 --> 00:17:46.970
It's still, I think, the energy behind the connected community and what we did at that period of time is still here, but I feel like it's expanding and to move beyond just a region and expanding more into, kind of, our global connections.
00:17:46.970 --> 00:17:57.109
And that's really what I'm excited about now is this expansion, and I can almost think of it, as I like to think of it, as creating bridges.
00:17:57.109 --> 00:18:15.109
So we're creating bridges to solutions, to products and services that will allow every individual to feel better, to optimize how they're thinking, how they're feeling, the amount of energy that they have, reducing their stress levels, all that sort of thing.
00:18:15.109 --> 00:18:49.383
And we're creating bridges to and between each other, all of us that maybe are just a little bit further ahead on the path, that have solutions, that have podcasts and broadcasts, that have landing community projects for people to really connect to and I feel like together, collectively, we're creating a bridge to a new way of being, a new way of living and, ultimately a new world and one that really works for every single one of us.
00:18:50.411 --> 00:18:55.040
Okay, so it sounds like the connected community is expanding and still evolving.
00:18:56.790 --> 00:19:13.720
It is, it is, and I would imagine that was an initial step in the process and that leads really to today, like we're actually.
00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:37.662
This weekend, I'm posting an online summit called Unleash Yourself, and that summit is we'll have 30 speakers over three days sharing their perspectives on peak performance, on overcoming what we're calling the blue-collar mindset to be able to optimize really every area of your life.
00:19:37.662 --> 00:19:49.317
And again, that's that bridge to the solutions, to the speakers, between the speakers, and I feel like that's going to continue to expand into.
00:19:49.317 --> 00:20:20.664
I've been very fortunate over the last eight or nine years to be able to travel to some amazing places, and there's community, there are solutions, there are people talking about freedom and health and regeneration, and all of this is at our fingertips, and now we're just creating the bridges so that everyone alive is able to realize that these things exist and can now access them.
00:20:21.551 --> 00:20:27.118
Okay, yeah, so tell me about Unified Alliance, and I'm not sure to pronounce it.
00:20:27.118 --> 00:20:27.901
Is it Emma Loa?
00:20:29.851 --> 00:20:48.692
So Emma Loa is actually so that's something that I was recently, so I was a founding family member of it and it's a retreat center which I've recently moved on from the founding family has.
00:20:48.692 --> 00:21:07.961
They essentially end up going a different direction and we were able to help get it started and now move on from that and the Unified Alliance has now morphed into origin.
00:21:07.961 --> 00:21:12.595
And the story with the Unified Alliance really is.
00:21:12.595 --> 00:21:43.780
I've had this vision for over 10 years and I was originally calling it the Global Collective Consciousness Platform and then it morphed into what we were calling light, which stood for leadership and innovations, for global health transformation, and I had written a white paper on it and all that sort of thing.
00:21:43.780 --> 00:21:55.903
But it was always super visionary and super kind of like pie in the sky, altruistic I don't know how you want to say it.
00:21:57.269 --> 00:22:44.294
But then fast forward to again about three years ago and it morphed into the Unified Alliance and it was like, okay, this might be something that I can ground into, something that's actionable, something that can actually support people in the real world, but it was still a little bit up here and really over the last five months that has transitioned into origin, which is more of a media component and supporting and bringing together media like yourself that is sharing amazing stories and people and their journey and solutions, to say you know, to say okay, collectively we come together.
00:22:44.294 --> 00:23:14.626
This is how we can change the narrative and then unleash yourself is an event and the first of many, I imagine where again it's bringing together and highlighting all of the, the solutionaries, I call them that have the tools, that have the products and services, the coaching platforms, the retreats that can support the people crossing that bridge to begin to optimize their mind, body, spirit, cells everything that we're talking about.
00:23:15.349 --> 00:23:24.580
And then coherence is a newsletter that essentially is the pulse for the larger community.
00:23:24.580 --> 00:24:12.609
If you have a solution, then you can share about it in coherence, and the whole idea, the whole journey is again to create these bridges to what I look to think of as true freedom and fulfillment, and that's in how we show up, in whether we're expecting anything or not, whether we're wearing masks or not, you know how authentic we're able to show up and you know, even to the point of you know, like things like travel and moving beyond borders, and you know the money that we generate, like these are all things that you know we should have total freedom and control over.
00:24:12.609 --> 00:24:32.727
But because of the way you know societal conditioning and programming, if you will we've kind of given our power away to the external person thing or circumstance, or governments or doctors or you know, and I feel like these are steps and bridges for us to be able to take all of that power back.
00:24:32.727 --> 00:24:36.557
So sorry about the long winded answer, but it was.
00:24:36.557 --> 00:24:38.800
You know it's been a journey.
00:24:40.170 --> 00:24:41.030
Well, it is life.
00:24:41.030 --> 00:24:46.921
Life was a journey and things are constantly changing and evolving and technology changes and we learned things.
00:24:46.921 --> 00:24:52.109
So it makes sense you know you, you build something and then you're, hopefully you're constantly evolving it.
00:24:52.109 --> 00:24:54.537
I mean, otherwise things could stale and they die.
00:24:56.390 --> 00:24:57.972
Yeah, absolutely Absolutely.
00:24:57.972 --> 00:25:08.109
And the amount of change, like it seems like it's continuing to exponentially increase, Right At a more long rate.
00:25:08.109 --> 00:25:14.196
Well, if you think about even you know you were talking about two or three years ago, not many people knew what zoom was.
00:25:14.196 --> 00:25:15.419
You know it's.
00:25:15.419 --> 00:25:16.700
I'd love to see what's happened.
00:25:16.700 --> 00:25:24.229
I don't know if they're private company or not or there's public, but you know we all, we've all said, OK, let's, we can turn to the internet and we can do so much more.
00:25:24.229 --> 00:25:25.109
We can do global reach.
00:25:25.109 --> 00:25:31.842
So you talked about building local community is still really, really important, but now we can literally build global community.
00:25:33.310 --> 00:25:45.176
Absolutely, and it's, you know, it's a I like, like this idea of yes and no, it's not this or this is like yes, and you know like we need to build the local communities.
00:25:45.498 --> 00:25:59.953
And then you know, for anybody who's traveling or wants to, you know it's like, hey, this is and this is that idea of creating the bridges between the communities and the ecosystems is to say, hey, you know what you feel like traveling, you want to come to Canada.
00:25:59.953 --> 00:26:04.740
We've got all this happening in Canada and these locations like come and join the community here.
00:26:04.921 --> 00:26:05.842
Sure sure.
00:26:05.842 --> 00:26:14.319
So where do you see in the in the coming present or future?
00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:16.222
Where do you see this evolving to next?
00:26:18.931 --> 00:26:20.255
Again, I feel like this is a step.
00:26:20.255 --> 00:26:30.118
I feel like we're kind of on the bridge of remembering fully how to co-create.
00:26:30.118 --> 00:26:43.998
Up until now, I feel like we've still kind of been in silos and almost operating from the old patriarchy, the old scarcity and competition mindset.
00:26:43.998 --> 00:26:50.335
I feel like now we're on this bridge to saying, okay again, if you win, I win.
00:26:50.335 --> 00:26:55.270
I can't do this because you're doing this.
00:26:55.270 --> 00:26:58.913
How does my piece fit with your piece?
00:26:59.365 --> 00:27:09.078
How can we collaborate and co-create so that the saying a rising tide rises all boats?
00:27:09.078 --> 00:27:16.035
How can we really come together to bring our pieces together so that we all win?
00:27:16.035 --> 00:27:57.412
I think it's this transition from competition to collaboration and co-creation, from the old world of scarcity and maybe even a little bit of deceit to really showing up fully, basically nobly, to support each other and really shine light on what each other is doing, rather than saying I can't share my clientele with you because for me, I want what's best for the individual.
00:27:57.412 --> 00:28:07.734
That means they come through my ecosystem and end up with you because they resonate more with your message and with your tools and with what you're offering.
00:28:07.734 --> 00:28:10.050
I want what's best for the individual.
00:28:10.807 --> 00:28:11.630
Yeah, that's awesome.
00:28:11.630 --> 00:28:17.528
I know you talk about something called radical self-responsibility and you talk about living from higher laws.
00:28:17.528 --> 00:28:23.035
What does radical self-responsibility mean and how does it lead us to greater freedom?
00:28:24.866 --> 00:28:25.528
Love that question.
00:28:25.528 --> 00:28:32.151
Again, this is the shift.
00:28:32.151 --> 00:28:45.553
You can relate it to people who have talked about the difference between the Newtonian model of reality and the quantum model.
00:28:45.553 --> 00:28:50.555
The Newtonian is cause and effect and the quantum is causing an effect.
00:28:50.555 --> 00:28:59.855
Newtonian is I'm going to perceive through my senses and I'm going to likely give my power away to the external person, thing or circumstance.
00:28:59.855 --> 00:29:06.951
I'm going to look at my results and that's going to cause me to think certain thoughts and take certain actions.
00:29:06.951 --> 00:29:13.814
Probably I'm going to produce the same results, whereas the quantum is saying I'm going to shut all of that out.
00:29:13.814 --> 00:29:20.958
I'm going to think and feel and marry my thoughts with an elevated emotion and I'm going to cause an effect.
00:29:20.958 --> 00:29:25.435
I'm going to become the creator of my reality.
00:29:25.435 --> 00:29:34.073
So radical self-responsibility is to say I'm actually going to take responsibility for all of my own thoughts, feelings and actions.
00:29:34.073 --> 00:29:36.092
I'm not going to blame anyone.
00:29:36.092 --> 00:29:41.748
I'm not going to say you did this to me because ultimately it was my decision to interact with you anyways.
00:29:41.748 --> 00:29:52.031
If we take that full responsibility, then it's saying no matter where you are in your life, you got yourself into it.
00:29:52.031 --> 00:29:57.710
Which means if you got yourself into it, you can take yourself wherever you want.
00:29:57.710 --> 00:30:02.349
You can get yourself out of it, you can continue on the same path, you can up level and upgrade.
00:30:02.349 --> 00:30:34.909
Then, once we've done that and are able to really begin to operate from the higher laws and the foundational laws, the law of love and what is true and love allows everything Love requires us to feel everything Then we've got the universal laws, and the universal laws like cause and effect or the law of polarity or the Genesis principle.
00:30:34.909 --> 00:30:43.413
They provide a mathematical framework from which everything in our material world comes from.
00:30:43.413 --> 00:30:50.373
These laws are happening in our lives anyways, but I don't know very many people that are saying you know what?
00:30:50.373 --> 00:30:52.230
I'm going to tune into the law of polarity today.
00:30:52.230 --> 00:31:00.230
I'm going to read it a few times and I'm going to really do my best to align with it and work with that law in my life today.
00:31:00.230 --> 00:31:11.426
And then we've got the laws of the soul, and the laws of the soul are essentially they should allow all emotion to pass through us freely.
00:31:12.464 --> 00:31:24.605
And somewhere in our younger years we learned to hold on and suppress feelings, rather than if we're angry or sad or that sort of thing as a child.
00:31:24.605 --> 00:31:33.796
If we had just continued to throw that tantrum and feel those emotions, then our soul would come back to this place of purity, of homeostasis.
00:31:33.796 --> 00:31:42.171
But as it stands now, so many of us have this backlog that we've created and some would look at it as the subconscious mind.
00:31:42.171 --> 00:31:48.776
And so now I've got to go back and I've got to unpack all of these undoubted emotions.
00:31:48.776 --> 00:31:57.809
And if that was already clean, if that was already pure, something would happen in my life now and I would feel the emotion.
00:31:57.809 --> 00:31:59.776
And then I'd be free again.
00:31:59.776 --> 00:32:10.111
I'd come back to homeostasis where it says now it's like that then gets into the queue of the backlog of the undoubted emotions in my subconscious that I've still got to unpack.
00:32:10.111 --> 00:32:16.356
So we get all of those energies, all of those laws into alignment.
00:32:17.204 --> 00:32:29.711
And then in this reality I can express nobly, humbly, to my fellow women and men in that radical responsibility and say you know what?
00:32:29.711 --> 00:32:33.827
Maybe you're not aware, but your actions right now are.
00:32:33.827 --> 00:32:41.425
You know, they're causing me harm and if it continues I'm going to consider it a trespass, you know, and then you'll be liable.
00:32:41.425 --> 00:32:53.048
You know, instead of calling the cops or calling a lawyer, you know, like again, like pointing the finger and playing the game, it's saying you know, I'm going to show up fully and it's not to get you, it's just to let you know that.
00:32:53.048 --> 00:33:05.016
You know, like, what you're doing right now is it's almost like setting up no trespassing signs, you know, and our body is our property.
00:33:05.016 --> 00:33:26.137
You know, like, how do you know if, if you're trespassing, if you're doing something that's causing me harm, unless I'm able to again, humbly, nobly, you know, with the intention to remedy any and all controversy, unless I express that so I heard you talk about several different laws and different levels of laws and how we deal with them.
00:33:26.525 --> 00:33:31.270
So is this something that you teach people that come to you with the different laws, or how we start to live within them?
00:33:32.815 --> 00:33:42.384
Yeah, and this is something again that I'll be sharing this weekend, but I call it the freedom method, and it really starts with the individual.
00:33:42.505 --> 00:33:44.570
It really starts with knowing thyself.
00:33:46.125 --> 00:33:58.833
And again, if you're listening and maybe haven't gone on this journey yet, this personal growth, this deeper understanding of who you are and what you're capable of.
00:33:59.094 --> 00:34:11.190
Step one is opening, open to the idea that new potentials, new possibilities, the idea that you can create a new identity for yourself.
00:34:11.744 --> 00:34:48.887
And then, once you open up, it moves into step two, which is essentially beginning to, with discipline, practice, implement the things that will allow you to show up more fully, and whether it's breath, work or movement or nutrition or detoxification or whatever those tools are, when you start to discipline and show up firstly for yourself to implement those things, it takes you into step three, where you're able to really begin to operate from that space.
00:34:48.887 --> 00:35:00.485
The tools and the things that you're doing become less of a thing that you're doing outside of yourself and more of an embodiment of who you are and how you show up in the world.
00:35:00.485 --> 00:35:21.548
And then this leads essentially to step four, where you start to really align yourself with these higher laws and be able to take this radical self-responsibility, to express yourself, to own all of your own stuff and to, at times, lovingly hold others accountable when they trespass against you.
