The Flowstate Principles Podcast

If our culture was as obsessed with consciousness and the mind, as it is with physical appearance, there would be no war, crime, famine or suffering.

We would all be content with what we had, living in the moment, serving those around us.

But as it is we have a culture where people get calf implants, botox injections, spends billions on sh#t they don’t need, watches so much shite TV that they keep making more shite TV, and somehow allows lizard like media moguls to be the most powerful men in the world.

If we all start being conscious about what we feed our consciousness, huge changes will occur.

We will feel less afraid and more inspired, reality TV will be relegated to the  dustbin of history, mass media will be forced to tell the truth and report newsworthy events in a non-agenda driven way.

But most of all, we will free ourselves from the bondage of conditioning.  Or to be more accurate, we will be able to choose our own conditioning.

Click below to listen to this episode on how to feed your consciousness.

 

 

 

 

 

In this episode I give a few ideas on how we can deliberately change our conditioning to set up a more awesome, authentic and inspiring life.

The post TFPP 024: Phil Drolet: Health, happy hedonism and sexy meditation appeared first on Flowstate Collective.

Phil Drolet is a Peak Performance coach and founder of The Feel Good Lifestyle. Phil coached me in the past and I have wanted to get him on the show, because of his unique blend of entrepreneurial savvy, high performance mindset, and dedication to personal mastery, and spiritual growth.

Phil is dedicating his life to actualising his full human potential… in every way. In this 35 minute conversation we breeze through some alternative, yet powerful reasons to practice meditation, the inner dance of the masculine and feminine, plant medicines, rituals of power, why meditation is sexy and how mixing in some hedonism into our life is not only fun… but transformative. Phil is a super-inspiring guy, and is about to take 2 months off to immerse himself on a solo quest, to go deeper into his own mind and body. I love his commitment to growth and self-actualisation.

If you take one thing from this show… let it me this: Immediately go and visualise and book your next quest- it could be a weekend, or a day… or a year.. But view this as a journey into yourself. This is the most powerful gift you can give yourself and anyone in your life.

This episode presents a new way to look at goals. In our western culture we have SMART goals. I think they are dumb.

Yes it’s good to be specific and put a time-frame on some goals. Relevant? Yeah obviously- who on earth makes irrelevant goals?

Measurable and attainable… pffff.. Don’t get me started. You can not measure the grandeur of my dreams, or capture their essence with a few numbers and charts. Why the hell would I limit my dreams in life to what can be measured in numbers?

As for Attainable, the A in the SMART goal-setting formula… the current unattainability of my grandest goals is what excites me about life. What is unattainable to my current level of consciousness could be very attainable tomorrow or next year.

So the way I see it- make your goals completely unattainable with the knowledge that if you keep raising your consciousness and doing the work on yourself, you are evolving. You will live a bigger and bolder life. Click below to listen and learn.
