Table Rush Talk Show

After the summit is finally done I have a day to decompress and then the over whelm of next steps hit me.  Now it’s the fight to get back into the moment so I can keep the momentum going.

The aftermath of the summit and OMG what’s next.  That is what I am going to make an attempt to talk about today.

The live portion of the summit finished Friday and it’s Monday as I record this.  Worked a bunch Saturday tying up loose ends and took Sunday off for self care.  Take a day off, it was hard.  Take a day off.  The summit took up so energy and so now there is a little bit of a hole…  All of a sudden it’s done.  So there was a little emptiness.

So how do I spiritually fill that hole?  I had to do some spot check meditating through out the day for sure to get back centered. 

The aftermath.  It’s like this big bomb wend off!  The summit bomb.  Boom!  All of a sudden there is all these next steps.  I’m definitely in a state of overwhelm projecting forward…

OMG the aftermath what’s next.  Complete overwhelm.  There is getting email seqeneces to all the people who joined the summit.  You’ve got to connect with them all this work I put in.  I have no idea what I’m gonna say what I’m gonna do.

There’s perhaps creating products for the bigger vision.  Ask campaigns.  It’s like putting the engine in a car.  Hand me the instruction book and if I stay in the moment and do the next indicated step you look up and the engine is in.  How do you eat an elephant?  One bite at a time.  I’m trying to get back into the moment and breath.  What’s the next indicated step. 

We are trying to get our message out. 

I want answers.  I want to know what next year looks like.  I want to know what one year down the line looks like.  I want to know that my time invested is going to be worth while in the way that I want it to be.  I want to know the shiny object that I’m hoping for is waiting for me.  All this egoic stuff.  All these fears.  All the financial insecurity that was hiding in the summit is flashing back at me.

So I get to work to get back in the moment with all the tips tricks and tools.  So many of which were talked about on the summit.

So yeah, the after math of the summit.  Breath, take it easy.  Next indicated step. I don’t need to be farther along then I am.  That’s one big thing that’s gripping me from moment to moment.  OMG I’m behind in the process.  Things need to be bigger than they are. I need to be farther along.  I need to know answers to many things that I don’t know answers to.  So come back to the moment, do the next indicated step.  Send the thank you's to the speakers.  Do the debrief with the who.

Watch the next instructional video.  How to get in front of an audience of 100,000 people and how to do that every day.

I as I was leaving the house to go on a walk, the intuition was grab the microphone and record, even though it might not be shiny, well thought out, etc.  I get to keep producing episodes one day at a time…  etc…  etc…  and hopefully be of service :).  Trust in god that this is of service.

His podcast the Self Sabotage show.  https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-self-sabotage-show-with-damian-culhane/id1538003861

Regarding bitch slaps from the universe…  And noticing things that he hadn’t noticed before.  The first one when he was completely asleep to all of this, when he was a kid, something wasn’t right and something was up at a family gathering.  He was 7 years old and aware that his father wasn’t there.  His parents were divorced and he didn’t have the maturity to talk about it.

When that event happened and it went by unnoticed. It created a tension, a universal tension and I was able to mask that by over eating…  His first example of when he was over eating and binge eating even at that young age.  As an ego centric 7 year old.

I ignored that one and it caused me a significant amount of emotional suffering and psychological harm that perhaps if I’d have paid attention may never had existed.

So he his binge eating disorder starts at that age.  An air of secrecy and a whole load of stuff mixed up in that.

He did not get to the point of bulimia or anorexia which seem to be a whole another level.  The binge eating was absolutely like an addiction for him.  It turns into other addictions.    

Damian and I meet through JB Owen.   Damien meets her at a 2019 event “Mind Valley University” in Pula Croatia.  Probably about 1000 people there.  Best selling authors…  (Btw Damien lives in Italy).

We get on Brexit.  Which is perhaps a conspiracy he says.  His decision to move to Italy was based on his ability to be able to continue to move about freely through Europe post Brexit.

The way that Brexit was posed by both sides…  There was a lot of mis information.  “Take back control” was some of the propaganda he believes.   He likes the melting pot of Great Britton.  The richness of it.  Brexit is taking that away.  It was pitched as a utopia and is more of the government ceasing control of their agenda and the people.  

It’s about control of peoples behavior.  What they can and can’t do.  Re lock down.  How to wash your hands for example.  So reliant on the government telling us what to do.  So many businesses in the UK hang on every word of the prime minister and that is not a great place to be.  The main stream media.  Gov policy.  etc.  That’s not always the best thing for the people but perhaps just the best for a few.  Not necessarily the best thing for the nation.

People will agree and disagree and that’s ok.

Money has been given to VIP organizations and companies aligned with the ruling party.  Defective equipment, little oversight, little audit.  Brexit has affected food distribution to the negative into Great Britton.  

Tapping into that higher source or intuition.  AKA “awake”, my own impact on the world.  As soon as you are awake, and out of the matrix…  You can stand back and see what’s going on…  Maybe there’s something more to life than what is being offered by the government and and the mainstream media.

The people who have the biggest influence in the media, politics, and in finances are almost becoming drunk on their own power.  They are blasé about it, to the point where they are doing it anyway.  People are waking up and saying “wait a minute”.  

Now he’s an international bestseller thanks to his working with JB Owen and contributing to her books.

Some of the organizations I work with are involved in that market place.  I’ve got to the point now where if they don’l like my view point…  That’s ok.  Two or three years ago I wouldn’t have been like that.  I would have been much more worried about what people think.

What became obvious to me was my vision.  Two or three years ago…  The purpose for my suffering and why it happens.  I want to help others heal from their suffering. The suffering was there for a reason.  I had to experience it, I had to get through it, I had to work out how to overcome it.  And now my role in life, my vision, is to help others heal their suffering.  

I do that through helping them understand where they sabotage their life, where self sabotage shows up in their life, why that exists, what they can do about it, how they can overcome it, and not be defined by their past, and create a future they love.

Men, generally are not aware of their emotions or how they can deal with it or the impact it has had on them.  Women are much more tuned into somethings not right and I need to get to the bottom of it.

The Ignite series is a very powerful series of books.  Ignite Your Life For Men which was the first book I contributed to.  And also Ignite Your Life For Adventurous Spirit.  And there is “Ignite Your Life For Conscious Leaders.

The process of working with JB and her Ignite team of editors has helped me to really clarify my writing and make it more engaging and interesting for the reader.

Lifestyle is more important to me instead of accolades and status.

JB was the catalyst for taking his writing to the next level.  His biggest break through was a few years before…  Sabotage ect.  JB helped him articulate that to help other people.

When I was younger I loved material things and I liked to have nice cars and gadgets and things.  And so when I was younger I was much more interested in that and led by those choices.  If it meant I could change jobs and get a better car with better salary I’d have done that through my carrier.  I guess I would have put that down to ambition and striving for something more than I had.


Now the focus is much more around relationships are much more important, the ability to be able to travel and hang out with people on a similar vibration.  

I would rather create opportunities to walk on my favorite beach rather than being the number one coach in the UK.  That’s not even in my field of vision.

Do you have 12 step stuff in your life to transcend your addictions and compulsions?  His great aunt in Ireland, was one of the founding members of AA in Ireland.  But I have never been through the 12 steps.  (It sounds like he’d call them addiction light.)

The turning point for him: In 2005 his younger son was diagnosed with a life limiting condition.  “And that was truly truly a bitch slap moment you would never want anyone to experience”.  I was being strong resilient and emotionally strong but on the inside I was crumbling I was crushed.  And the addictions became worse at that point.  I was making really poor choices.  

It worsened when I separated from my ex wife now.  In the end I became so addicted to my own negative emotions…  etc etc.  Anger, sadness, fear.  I got to the point where I was addicted to that.  I was effectively long term sadness was a big impact for me.  It took me a few years to get beyond that.  Recover and heal my suffering.  12 steps my have helped accelerate that.  And the opportunity to develop a relationship with a higher power.

But he does that anyway.  Higher powers, gratitude, the abundance of the universe.  

When I first go this and I was awakened and got a different perspective.  At first I was setting about trying to convince others and it became obvious that you cannot wake people up if they are not ready for it.

Look there is  this whole world of possibility around love, around abundance, around creativity, around what you want to create in the world… there is an abundance of everything you need.  You can tell people about that but you can force people to want it or have it they have to choose it.  I love it that it is an active choice that people have to make.

A mentor tells him, 90% of the people that are completely asleep to their possibility of what they could create or what their potential is.  There’s about 9% that are awakened to it but haven’t achieved it yet.  And there’s 1% of people that actually step through go into threshold and create what they love.  Tapping into that 1% of people…is a joy to experience and watch and see people do that.

“I’d say I’m in the 9% definitely” “Occasionally in some areas of my life I’m definitely in the 1%”.  Moving counties was definitely and intuitive choice.

Some cryptocurrency shenanigans…

Astrology wise - He’s got people who are tapped into that and use the astrologies rhythms and planets to tap into their intuition.

His 5 year go mentor?  Ryan Pinnick.  A South African guy based in the UK. His choices with addictions resonated with Damien.  Damien was all in with Ryan.  He has been very good at helping Damien heal from his suffering.  Ryan is gifted at teaching you how to tap into your own intuition.

His son has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

The coincidences of seeing a few bricked up windows…  What’s the universe trying to tell me?   A vision of healing suffering?  What was obvious was…I couldn’t see beyond what was in front of me to see my vision.  These messages are coming through all the time, everyday, you just have to be present.  You can tap into amazing choices, opportunities.  

A cool mediation.  Go in with innocence, ego stripped away.  What am I to create?

Breathing techniques.  You go into a different state.  You change your state of consciousness  as a result of your breathing.  

Suss out some topics, make choices from those ego free topics.  And what you can do to honor that.  

Are you still focused on the vision you want to create?  In my relationship “I choose a beautiful loving relationship where are hearts touch together to create magic.”  If I’m in the relationship from that choice you can’t do it from anger.

The scientists, what are they trying to do?  Well, they have a true belief that they have the ability to cure incurable diseases.  They work inside structures that suppress that.   Lots of red tape.  

When you look at the purpose of a biopharmaceutical company…is to create customers for its product.”

Scientists are incredibly intellectual and incredibly clever.  In some respects that’s probably their biggest barrier. Getting out of their brain and into their heart that they would love.

Perhaps bridging eastern and western medicine is a worthy utopia to head for.

Just because your inelegant does not mean you can tap into your intuition.  A great thought.

Albert Einstein talking about shifting your level of conciseness back in the 1930’s.

Steps to tap into intuition - Starting points are always to get out of the head and into the heart and one of the quickest ways to do that is to get into nature.  Remove your shoes and socks and walk barefoot on the grass or the sand.

Book recommendation: The Kybalion.  It’s a great way to tap into what’s possible for the universe.  There’s some principles of the universe almost.  Hermetic/Hermes.  Hermetic Philosophy.  Listen to it on YouTube.  It’s quite a complex piece of work but it is worth it.

The big point from the Kybalion from him.  “The all is mind.  And the universe is mental held in the mind of the all.”

What could people do if they were on stage one of their wake up?  I would love to share some more things around that.

Understanding your uniqueness in the world is very very important.  Your odds of being born are ridiculous.  We can get trapped in this rat race in this matrix.  Waking up from that…

Get out in nature.

Tap into what are your talents and what are you really really good at they have fun and pleasure doing it.  Then you can have fun and make money doing that…

Ikigai - Japanese - What are you here to do, what is your purpose.  We can see things from a different perspectives.  Alan Watts was genius at this, bringing eastern philosophies to the west.

There is ancient wisdom that is there, all we need to do is remember it.  

Don’t be attached to your own identity, be prepared to strip yourself down to the bear nothing…  Psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, to then really start to layer on who am I and what am I here to create in the world.  And that’s a beautiful thing if more people could understand that journey and be on the journey that is a rewarding place to be.

Nature is very powerful at creating things, maintaining things, and destroying things.  What are we here to create and what are the things that we need to destroy and leave behind.  

It is around you you’ve just got to pay attention to it.

Ignite

I reflect on the two of things I’ve learned since starting the summit two and a half months ago: iMovie and how to post from a Google drive onto the social media.  And also how I have already have gotten to take my limited summit experience and use it to be of service!   

Episode notes:

Two things I am going to talk about on this episode.

1. Things I could not do before the summit and things that I can do now (There are at least two)
2. How I got to be of service.  I got to take my current summit experience and help somebody else who is going live with there summit the same days as mine.  I had something to offer them and help them.

Sorry to yawn at you.  I’m getting close to the official summit being live.  It is the final push.  It’s two days away.  Sleepless nights. (When I recorded this the Tools For A Good Life Summit was just about to go live.) 

The first thing that I could not do that I can do now.  iMovie - 10 weeks ago when I committed to producing the summit I needed to edit the summit interviews.  Or pay someone to edit the summit interviews.  I decided to do it myself.  And I had zero experience with iMovie.

The first time I opened iMovie I almost lost it and it was almost the end of it all.  Sorry Apple, I hate to say it, but iMovie is not intuitive at all.  With a little bit of fortitude, wherewithal and trying…  Fast forward to now where all the videos are edited with intros, outros, seamless transitions…  It’s really fun and making all of that work.  And actually getting fun commentary in that regard.  Your transitions are awesome, your editing is cool, it’s a lot of fun.  That’s the feedback I got. 

That is just  amazing to me.  I’ve really been reflecting on that fact that “Oh my goodness, two and a half months ago iMovie was the bane of my existence and now it’s a tool for fun”.  So supper cool.

My registration page video I needed to change something about a week after it was already on the registration page.  So I had to find my same shirt, make sure my hair the same messy.  Having it look unruly is not the challenge.  Having it look unruly in the right way could be challenge.  I had to have the camera at the right angle, the lighting, all of this.  I reshot, spliced it in and it came out great.

The next thing is the Instagram and the Face book.  How long have these things been around 20 years by now.  In a lot of ways I’m way behind the curve.

I’ve been needing to market the summit, specifically this is about the instagram.  I was needing to access the promo center that I made and pull down the imagery to make the post…  And suffice it to say it was a challenge.  The first time I tried it it was a “Challenge” and I wanted to throw the phone across the room.  Now it is easy.  It is all linked up and it is pretty awesome.

I had somebody go to the “Link in my Bio” and register.  Oh My Gosh so it worked.  And it’s like the lightbulbs just went off in my mind.  Mind blown.  I start to see the broader vision, the bigger picture.

The whole can of worms is open.

I got to help someone.  I have a ton of sales experience.  Follow up Follow up Follow up and how to communicate with people you are trying to work with.  I have managed to drive some registrations to the registration page via the speakers. 

A person in the coaching group I was in has a summit going live same time as mine.  She was focusing on adds to drive registrations vs speakers promoting.  So she was asking me how was I getting registrations and how can I do this.  I was able to give her all the texts that I was sending to the speakers and to my sphere of influence to encourage people to promote and register.  Along with some email templates.  So that felt real good.  It just felt really good to be able to help like that.  “Here’s what I created, it’s yours to use”.  That felt really good.  She was so excited! To use what I made…  To be able to give back like that and encourage somebody and give them a little hope… Being of service is a big part of why I do the things I do.  I’m hoping to be helpful.  To be so new at the summit thing and then have my limited summit experience be able to help somebody felt real good.

Things I’ve learned in the 2.5 months since I started the summit.  1) iMovie 2) How to post from a Google drive onto the social media.

I was able to help somebody with their summit marketing.

I am going back and forth with one of my main summit speakers about the nature of some of my content.  If I get creative and make some changes he will continue to promote.  If I remain stubborn and leave it as is he will step back.  His excitement to work with me and for the summits success inspire me to change.  I think the real word is surrender.

Last we heard I was in the midst of going back and forth with Craig Weiner and will he continue to promote.  And I had just started to learn iMovie and iMovie is a burly burly beast.

So I was in discussions with Craig and I could just edit the intro to the summit registration video…  Change it to “I’m the creator of Be Love Media” vs “I’m the creator of the Bitch Slap podcast”.

Craig was so excited for me to make these changes…  And then I got a little stubborn.  I was pinging back and forth between stand my ground and make the change.  But then it hit me, I am the creator and director of Be Love Media and with in that is the Podcast and the Summit.  So as far as a bigger picture move and what I’m doing ‘I love it”. 

But my stubborn side was like “hold your ground”.

So in stead of doing anything I decided to just not decide for a day or two…  And then all of a sudden Craig emails me and says “are you going to make the changes” I’m excited to get you on the news letter today, but I could wait until Wednesday…  He was so excited and wanting us to have success, so I capitulated!  And committed to make the changes…

So I had to re shoot the intro to the video, find the outfit, the light, my hair, the scene, the look, lol!  And the camera was at the wrong hight so I had to reshot again…  and the clock was ticking.  And I got it all done by the very last second and meet his deadline.

I was willing to put my ego aside, capitulate and make the changes…  The definition of Capitulate: Cease to resist an opponent or an unwelcome demand; surrender. 

The final copy “Hi, my name is Mischa Z and I am the creator and director of Be Love Media where we create content focusing on personal growth, transcending life's rough patches, and serving our world through change.”

One of my main speakers on the summit gives me pushback on promoting!  He just noticed that my podcast is called “Bitch Slap …The Accelerated Path To Peace!” and one of his audience took offense :).  Perhaps there is a solution? 

Episode notes:

The ol’ Shure MV88 mic!  Another shameless plug.

This episode is about capitulating and staying flexible.  And being willing to change.  In the line of fire being willing to change.  I can be stubborn sometimes. 

There’s nuances within being willing to change and stubbornness.

I have my summit in production :).  Register at ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit.com.  If you are listening past August 4th-6th you can still go log in and watch!

One of my main speakers Craig Weiner, who does EFT/Tapping, an amazing man.  Has so much good insight.  Decades of experience.  I was excited to have him promote the summit to his audience. 

He was not happy with the “Bitchslap” podcast title name!  Some of his audience were not big fans of the name :).  Thought that it was perhaps offensive and giving Craig pushback on aligning himself with me.  He was very gracious and gave me an op to explain what was up with the title.

Risk reward for him he decided not a good fit to promote.  And god bless him for communicating vs just dropping off of the face of the earth. 

After some prayer, meditation, journaling, ACIM on it…  I had some massive inspiration that it would be so easy for me where I mention the podcast name I could simply talk about my company name Be Love Media that is producing the summit.  Super easy change.  Other spot was the begging of the “hello” video just edit out and swap in the Be Love Media…  Which is a super easy fix.

Which is crazy!  3 months ago I had no idea how to even use iMovie let alone quickly edit out and in a new video intro. 

Listen tomorrow for part #2 :).

A Course In Miracles is talking about the idea that Pain And Pleasure are both illusions and unreal.  Ironically I get to take some negative commentary and some minor successes and put those ideas to the test.

Episode notes:

Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit

A Course In Miracles (ACIM) and pain and pleasure are equally unreal.  They are both illusory and they are both the same.  ACIM had been hammering home for months that pain is not real.  It’s just playing god.  Our ego’s being out of control. 

It’s all in my perspective in the moment.  For me as I’m closer to source, if I’m feeling that in the moment purity that illusion of pain goes away.

We can talk about physical pain.  The idea that we are going to all die.  The way that we relate to this world, this existence, our bodies are no longer going to be of use on the planet…

And by the way, pleasure is just as unreal.  Pain and Pleasure are equally unreal.  Just to drive this home.  There is a guy, who in front of lots of people, says “it looks like a poodle is fucking your head.”  Kind of aggressive but you’ve got to be able to laugh at yourself…

So then I go out on this boat trip, some pictures are taken, I’m in the background, someone who is not on the boat trip, sees a picture and says “Who brought the poodle?”   What I wanted to reply was, “you must have got your ass kicked a lot in high school…” but I didn’t lol.

And then what I was going to reply was, “Steve brought the poodle”.  Because I car pooled with Steve, which I thought was rather witty :).

As this is flying around in my head I’m like “I’ve got to let this go.”  And then the idea struck me that this pain and pleasure is equally unreal.  So I give a quick resentment prayer to this dude…  And then I’m like wait a minute Mischa, I like when people say, “Oh, you're so insightful”,  or “your hair looks great”, or “You look like Robert Plant.”  That’s the pleasure piece.  The good with the bad.  This is such an opportunity on a nuanced level to take the good with the bad.

To not let a negative comment create operation from source.  Just like if I get positive commentary not let that affect me in the same way.  Not let either go to my head and affect me.

So ironic on the day ACIM is like Pain and Pleasure are equally unreal, I get the opportunity to pay attention even more to the positive commentary. 

I need to be prepared and let the negative commentary flow through as I need to be prepared to let the success flow through. 

1000 people register for the summit I get to let that go.  10000 people register for the summit I get to let that go.

I notice as I check compulsively the registrations.  If there’s lots of new ones don’t take it personally, if there’s no new registrations don’t take that personally.  Or even better how about just don’t check compulsively.

I read my list of the mornings notes.  Much of which has to do with inspiration and being inspired with next indicated steps each and every day.  And there is no need to worry that I won’t be inspired tomorrow.

Todays notes:

• Each day I am inspired what to do next.  Inspired with the next indicated step.  Each day the inspiration comes so why do I think it is going to change?
• I was inspired how to rally the troops.  The speakers to market.
• In 6 minutes Meg Gibbs inspired me to “keep it simple”.  Check out her VIP All access Bonus interview. 
• Cut and paste the marketing!  A source of supposed pain and frustration was part of some inspiration to help keep the marketing simple. 
• Serendipitously solution - I was struggling with something on the summit.  And I had interviewed Thomas Lancer a month or two previously and was editing our interview.  And as I was editing the interview he said the answer to the current problem I was having!  So serendipitously solved the problem in the moment.
• All of the this inspiration, I had a sleepless night, summit mares!, churning about the summit.  I woke up, did my meditation.  A squirrelly mediation, but I survived.  I did my ACIM, and then all the inspiration started flowing on how to market with the speakers.
• ACIM - how pain is unreal.  The illusions of pain.  But yesterday it dropped pleasures are just as unreal.  Pain and pleasures are equally unreal!  You’ve got to take the good with the bad.  You’ve got to not let the pleasure create separation from source.
• Success -> pain.  Being unwilling to let go.  Sometimes we are not willing to let go.

I really enjoyed my interview with Philadelphia policeman Curtis Ghee.  So much so that I run through all the highlights here and how it inspired me.  It also gave me a kick that he liked some of my podcast episodes.  

Episode notes:

Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit

I am fully on the walking and recording train again and loving it.  I was all about it for the first 3, 4, or 5 months.  Then they were all from the desk.  But I’m all in on it again and it’s so fun!

I have not taken singing lessons yet.

How fun was my interview with Curtis Ghee, listen here:  Interview #33 Philly policeman Curtis Ghee: Cops, Robbers, and your God given destiny.

I really enjoyed it.  My first 30 minutes of it were very disjointed, it felt like it was disjointed and off track, I had all these questions, the way I wanted it to go (but I went ahead and edited it out…).  And I finally I was like “You know what Curtis, you are up to all this amazing stuff, tell me about it!” and then it erupted from there :).  I really enjoyed it and it flowed…  

I was in awe and aghast sometimes.  He is a black policeman from Philadelphia and has been on the force for 29 years or so.  And he was on the streets, patrolled the streets for a good 10 years, of the gnarliest parts of Philadelphia.  He’s got perspective, stories, awareness…  He’s got this massive heart clearly.  He wants to help young people in his community to find God inspired action or purpose.  (Said in a non dogmatic way).

He does a huge amount of work in facilitating that and he’s out there changing lives.  We got to talk racism, black white perspective.  Black cops white cops.  Black criminals white criminals.  He’s got a couple books coming out.  He has a really cool program to help prisoners and “normal” people…  There’s the literal prison of being behind bars and the prison of your mind.

And he helps police officers and families and the trauma that helps with the job.  And when he was talking about police officers as human begins and being human beings like you and me…  There was this moment that was so profound, I started to cry.  I felt the humanity for that.

In the conversation that is on the podcast…  This is the analogy he used.  If someone is cooking at MacDonalds and they mess up your fires and they make a mistake, they just make you another batch of fries.  

But in the police officer world, if they make a mistake sometimes lives are on the line.  And how brutal and heavy that can be.

God bless you Curtis.  You are the real deal.  He is about helping community and people.  He had so many bombs and nuggets.  He’s got such a big heart, but when he’s talking about roughing people up on the streets because that’s part of the job.  OMG so amazing.

Go back and listen to it.  Here’s the link:  Interview #33 Philly policeman Curtis Ghee: Cops, Robbers, and your God given destiny. 

He was referencing how he was listening to the episodes and how the do the dishes for god episode…  He really loved that.  You can listen to that one here: “Do the dishes for God”

Updated title: John Abate and a miracle of forgiveness.  My friend John Abate and I are both changing.  We are learning how to slow down, hold our tongues, and find peace.  Me, I had to go through a divorce and a couple other things.  John, well…he almost gets killed while riding his bike.  There’s broken bones, fused vertebrae, and the miracle of forgiveness.  Don’t be afraid to listen for the rest!  

Episode notes:

You can find John Abate and his 8 week MBSR class here: www.mindfulfoundations.org

We worked together in the mortgage industry 10-15 years ago. I was his boss!

It was high stress. The game of it. We were hunters. Type A.  Firing away. Sales.

We were trying to be helpful and find people where it made sense. He started working with me 2008…. After the melt down.

We are different people today. They wouldn’t let us in the door w the hair we have today.

It has been a steady progression of him slowing down.

John is an avid cyclist.  He started racing around 07 and it was his cathartic outlet.  Him needing a release.  He did his first bike race in 2007.  With the Swamis cycling club in Encinitas. Their tag line “The gurus of cycling” lol.  

Racing road cycling fuels our personality types.  The A types. Highly competitive.  It fed that for him.

He gets hit by a car August 2016. Heading out for his 89 mile Sunday ride.  Him and his friend.  Just leaving, a half mile from his house.  He’s mid sentence with his friend when WHAM.

He wakes up 3 days later in the hospital.  And he is beat up.   Compound fractures, broken back, et all.

Kelly, his riding partner, they are still good friends.

The rub.  It was a hit and run accident. They have never found the driver. This is where the story that’s interesting.  Forgiveness.

And it’s the start of his most recent transformation.  He was gifted with forgiveness quickly.  “I don’t know where it came from”.

His sobriety community is rallying around him. On day 3 in the hospital I asked everybody to join hands and just pray for the driver. “Please I need to do this.” That the driver is not suffering and to help me forgive him.

It turned out to be one of the most beautiful moments that I have experienced. And certainly other people that were there would attest to it.

I needed this to start healing man. Because I had a lot to go through (moving forward).

Did that actually help anybody.  It truly helped some of those men.

That hospital room is a beacon of light. It was really cool.

Now John teaches mindful based stress reduction (MBSR) classes.

Now the swamis guru bike club has new meaning.

Getting sober had started his spiritual practice.  Playing w meditation etc.  The accident introduced him to MBSR as a modality to heal himself from the accident.

He literally can’t move due to the casts, traction etc.  John is devouring books.  And stumbles accoss MBSR as a modality of healing not only the body but the mind.  For people that have suffered traumatic injury.  

I wanted an alternative way to heal along w western medicine.  Physical therapy and all that. I wanted to heal w o staying on the medication. And I wanted to be w my experience.

I had a lot of questions.  What happens to the driver?  Will I ever br able to ride again?  What’s going to happen w my body.  MBSR helped me sort though that.

“Good thing you were sober and hadn’t pushed everyone away still!”

And there’s the company JoJa Bars. Which he had just started when he had accident

MBSR didn’t free him from pain.  It helps him deal w it. Survive the PT the doctors appointments. The attachment of pain.  The fears of what’s next.  I overcame some serious obstacles. It was the touchstone moment from his accident.  It gave me the opportunity to see If I put my mind right I can do almost anything.  That was the shift for me.

I ended up taking the 8 week MBSR course at UCSD.  Which is the flagship university we’re all day teacher training and etc. happens. UCSD Add university of Massachusetts.  They are the center for where a lot of this comes from.

It affirmed everything I was learning on my own.  It gave me the tools to heal.  It helped bring me back to 100%. I was happy content and at peace.  Forgiveness and compassion.

A working definition of Mindfulness as defined by the courses that I teach. Founded by Jon Kabat-Zinn. (Some history of MBSR).  “Mindfulness is when we are able to pay close attention on purpose, without judgment.”

There is no striving to be perfect. There is no striving to be right. It’s just looking at. Paying close attention.

“You find a creative way of responding, if it’s even needed”

His next 5 or 10 minutes are awesome!  An explication of mindfulness in action.  

There is a lot of flow in bicycle racing.

I’m just trying to explore the recesses of the mind. What makes thoughts tick?  How do those come up?  Consciousness is a wonderful thing to delve into.

The by product of that is how we treat others people.  It gives me pause which is what I need.  I need pause!  This mouth runs fast when I allow it to.

Now John is actively teaching MBSR. Teaching what he learned.  An 8 week course.

As I contemplate singing lessons I’m remember how I was told when I was young that I can’t sing.  And was often asked to stop.  Which makes me wonder do I have doubts about the sound of my voice.  Both literally and figuratively.   And then there’s one of my mommy issues…

Episode notes:

Check out the Tools For A Good Life Summit here: Virtually and FOR FREE https://bit.ly/ToolsForAGoodLifeSummit

As people keep referencing Robert Plant, Robert Daltry, Brian May I’ve got it in my head that I should learn how to sing.   Sing the blues.  I’ve always wanted to sing the blues.  Play the Geetar and sing the blues.  Man I should go see if could take singing lessons.

There is a route where I walk in the mornings where there is a place where they teach music lessons.  I went so far as to walk by it and see if they teach singing lessons.  But to no avail.

I have an old memory from back in the day.  I had an old Walkman.  Back in 7th, 8th, 9th grade…   I would listen to my music and I would sing.  And my good friend Sam Day did not like my singing and would ask me to stop because he did not like my singing.  My father used to ask me, Father: “what did you do with the money?”  Young Mischa: “What money?”  Father: “The money that I gave you for singing lessons.”  Cause I guess I can’t sing it turns out.

Can I put all that aside?  It’s such an interesting thing these ideas that get planted in our head.  Perhaps I’ve been worried about my voice my whole life?  Both literally and figuratively.  I have been insecure about the sound of my voice for many years.  I got into cold calling and I got over it.  I was told to practice and listen to yourself.

Also figuratively. It can be like my ideas don’t matter.  My ideas don’t hold value.  My thoughts aren’t worthy.  Perhaps there’s nooks and crannies where that idea has still taken hold.  I think it’s kind of a cool concept as I talk about it.

I should probably go take singing lessons it would be so good for me on so many levels.

I’ve always had a thing for cute moms.  Even in my youth.  And still to this day.  I wonder if it’s because my mother was gone for much my childhood.  And I wonder if that’s what’s so alluring to me, that mother child relationship that I still subconsciously crave. 

I believe I’ve transcended many of my voice issues.  Definitely literally as I will jump on a microphone and a video.  I even finally sang karaoke 3 or 4 years ago.  I thought there was no way I’d ever be able to sing Karaoke.   Kind of like dancing durning a wedding.  I’m not happy about it but I’ll do it :).

I do get fun feedback that I’ve got a good podcast voice.  So that’s kind of fun.

No figuratively…Definitely refining or searching or find that voice I feel like.  I’m having fun exploring it and going for it.  Just grab the mic go and start talking.  You have no audience anyway.  You literally have nothing to loose.  Other than blowing up whatever massive or meager audience you have and then dying a slow painful death of humiliation.  But other than that not much to worry about.
