In this episode, we focus on a great medicine that is being forgotten today. Every ancient civilization has respected its force and worshipped its beauty. As our people seem to get sicker, this prescription must be put into more practice. Life has repeatedly taught us that nature is the way.

Today, I speak of observations that I have made as I've spent time in nature and which aspects of the outdoors have instructed my soul in different ways.

OBSERVATIONS:

(5:28) Your Inner Child

(8:24) Beholding Beauty

(11:01) Wisdom of the Ancestors

PRESCRIPTIONS:

Sun ☀️: heals, charges, illuminates, nourishes
Moon 🌖: manifests, rebirths, clears, enhances intuition
Ocean 🌊: cleanses, refreshes, invigorates, releases
Forest 🌳: grounds, balances, connects, stabilizes
Mountain ⛰️: strengthens, emboldens, empowers, protects

The Greek root of this word literally means to be possessed by a God or to have the Gods within oneself. No matter the weather, the day is perceived as brighter when we master this essential attribute.

Today, we discuss being endowed with a higher perspective with enthusiasm in our character, and give some simple ways to develop it in our everyday life.

THE HOW-TO:

(6:15) Actions Directly Tied To Aims

(8:12) Body Language

(12:12) Energy is Contagious

In this episode, I discuss the recent studies and experiments I have been doing surrounding the benefits of deliberate heat exposure. This consistent practice has taught me that I should "seek the heat" more often, to holistically heal and empower me to be my best self. Listen in, as I break down the benefits of sauna sessions to the mind, body, and soul.

MIND (4:00)

Forgiving is mostly seen as something we do, but what if it was viewed as an attribute embedded in us? Forgiveness would become just who we are. If this was the case, then forgiveness would come no matter what offense has happened.

Today, we discuss the process of having forgiveness in our daily lives, and the role that it plays in keeping our inner peace and happiness.

THE HOW-TO
(11:50) Paradigm Shift: Identity > Behavior
(13:55) Set Boundaries
(15:37) Lean On Other Attributes

In this episode, we strive to understand the benefits of depriving ourselves of food and water for long periods of time. This was filmed as I was midway through a water-only fast that spanned over 7 days, 168 hours without food.

Holistic health is all about the mind, body, and soul. Oftentimes, we attempt to heal or improve one of these areas without realizing its effect on others. Listen in while I talk about their interconnectedness, and how the practice of fasting can positively impact all three.

BODY: (2:45)

On today’s episode, we look deeply into the attribute of humility. Spiritual teachers across the ages have emphasized the importance of this attribute, and in today’s day and age it might be one of the most important to have.

Listen in as we dissect what the ego is, and give practical ways to develop humility in a world that attempts to overlook its crucial role for the quality of our lives.
