"IST gets back to that root of your beliefs, so you can open up that belief that was formed in your life."

- Bryce Kennedy

Welcome back to ONKEN RADIO, the podcast where we explore the body, mind, and soul of the creative entrepreneur. It’s my goal to help you take your creativity, business, and life to the next level. I’m so glad you’re joining me on this journey.

My guest for today is a powerful facilitator of higher consciousness, transformation, and liberation from self-limiting patterns of behavior. He believes that when you tap into the deepest layers of your being, you have the potential to thoroughly and completely resolve long standing patterns, troublesome behaviors, and unhealthy ways of living.

His name is Bryce Kennedy and he’s a guide for deep transformatioal work via the healing modality Inner Space Techniques (IST). After undergoing his own awakening, Bryce committed to helping others make life-affirming and powerful changes that bring them greater vitality, creativity, and joy.

“I'm holding the space open so you essentially get to be a part of who you truly are, a part of your true, highest nature. …  Some people have called it spiritual surgery. Essentially I'm opening up the space and then the person goes to where they need to go.”

Who is Bryce Kennedy?

A self-described former badass lawyer, Bryce serves as a spiritual luminary and facilitates deep transformation for clients across a range of industries and lifestyles.

Accessing the Deeper Self for Healing

What causes a corporate lawyer to completely change their life and pursue a life dedicated to inner healing? For Bryce, it was a growing dissatisfaction with a life that had no deeper purpose and that drained him emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

As a corporate lawyer, Bryce lived for happy hours and the weekends, struggled with anger issues, and was extremely unsatisfied and stressed. 

His first IST experience revealed to him that his life path was based on an early childhood wound. He’d failed kindergarten and was in for a second year when his teacher humiliated him for not being able to cut out paper shapes of bats.

Bryce referred to those early wounds as “Samskara,” which is a word from ancient yogic philosophy. Samskaras are psychological impressions that form the seeds of future behaviors, actions, thoughts, and feelings. They initiate a direction that may last for years or even for a lifetime. 

Bryce said that even when we think we’re making conscious life decisions, most of us are still fueled by Samskara — unconscious patterns of thoughts, reactions, and so on.

In Bryce’s case, his Samskara led to his overachieving and eventually his decision to be a lawyer. He then adopted the lifestyle of a lawyer — work hard, play hard, and a mindset of competition and aggression. But once he connected to that deep place of wounding where it all began, he quickly gave up being an attorney and chose to become an IST facilitator instead.

Bryce’s work now centers around getting to the root of our problems, the circumstances, and situations that hurt us and then dictated our life path. When we go beyond the conscious mind and access the unconscious,
