Once you vibrate correctly, things will never be the same

What if you were meant to feel high a majority of the time? And anytime you do certain things, whether it be drink alcohol, whether it be that of smoke certain substances, what if then that actually lowers your level of consciousness, making it easier for you to control, easy for you to fall into the frame of others, and it keeps you from actually experiencing more love, more joy, and more peace in your life? And what if this has been normalized in our society? Now, in this video, I want to calibrate the different substances and show you where on the vibrational scale these may lay according to different books, different texts that talk about levels of consciousness. And I want to share with you my story of how I have let go of doing these substances, many of all of these which I have done, and where some of them— I'll kind of get into that. But understanding that our vibration is, in a way, think of the metaphor of that of a cork that is on the ocean. Now the cork is on the top of the ocean, it naturally floats. If you were to hold that cork under the surface of the water, because you give it resistance, you can do that. But what do you do to get that cork to go back up to its natural state? You don't have to give it affirmations. You don't have to rewire it. You just let go and the cork naturally raises back up to the surface. Now what happens is many people are doing substances that are keeping them under the surface of the ocean from their natural vibration of feeling high a majority of the time. And I do believe that as we do our own inner work, as we let go of substances that are holding us under the surface of the ocean, we will naturally begin to feel high a majority of the time. Now, yes, things can still happen. Your vibration may dip a little bit, but your natural base point vibration can raise to the degree to which you feel and heal the energy that's inside of your body, which we're gonna be talking about, and really let go of the reason why you may be doing the substances to begin with. Now, first off, this is something that was inspired because just about a week ago, I have stopped doing one substance that I was doing that I was in denial that this was something that I had to let go of. And just to give it a little bit of a basis, I'm gonna talk about these and how I quit them and how you can also easily shift out of something that you're doing, embrace the period of when your body's not used to having it, but how ultimately it will lead to you feeling a higher vibrational level of consciousness that is rooted in presence, that is rooted in a deeper part of yourself. Now, first off, this thing that I'm talking about that I let go of, so I'll get more into the story, but I quit taking Adderall in 2012. I quit smoking cannabis in 2012. I quit drinking alcohol probably in 2012, but I guess I've had wine here and there since, but I haven't been drinking to a place of being drunk in a very long time. Nicotine and cigarettes, and then plant medicine we'll talk about as well. Now nicotine and cigarettes, so let me first off share that I don't smoke cigarettes, but this is the— nicotine was something that I had to shed, and this was something that kind of I had to figure out in a weird series of events. But basically, long story short, back in 2017 when I went full-time on YouTube, I got invited to a life transformation place in Costa Rica where I did plant medicine for the first time, a medicine called ayahuasca. And it was something I never saw myself doing because years before that, I completely got rid of smoking cannabis, completely stopped drinking alcohol, completely got off Adderall. I was pretty sober and square, I guess you could say. And then while I was there on like the second or third night of cer— no, the fourth night of ceremony, there was 4 nights of ceremony, the shaman was serving, there was, the men went up at like 5, 7 in the morning when the sun was coming up, the men went up for a healing ceremony. And then the women went up for a ceremony. Now, when the men went up, the shaman was serving people this medicine called Hapéh or Rapé. And it's a ceremonial tobacco that has nicotine in it. And it's been crushed with different ashes and it gets served up the nostrils. And this was something I never saw myself doing, but in the moment of getting and drinking ayahuasca and having that of a shaman that has been doing it for so long, I wasn't about to be the one person in the line that's like, no, no, no, no, no, listen, I know we're all deep on the medicine, but you don't understand, I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't want this stuff blowing up my nose. I just kind of went with the flow and got served this Hapéh. And right after that, I went out and looked at the sunset, but basically he served it up my nostrils. And there was this, like, not just euphoria, but this level of presence inside of my body that I felt that really brought me inwards. It was a very positive experience for me. It was an intensity that went obviously into the brain, up the nose, but then there was like this calmness and it's not psychedelic at all. It's just this like, although people can have very powerful experiences on it, nonetheless, I did this Hapéh, which has nicotine in it, which has, you know, it's also done with like an energy of sacredness and the people that create it that like basically mash it together with the tobacco, pray over it. So it's got this very ceremonial vibe. But basically, long story short, I ended up really enjoying it. And then it went from this thing that I did in ceremony to this thing that I ended up doing basically every single day. So what I would do is to transition my day, I'd be working, and what I would do is I would then move from like working and making videos, I'd go to the gym, and then when I'd come home after I'd eat dinner, I would do Hapéh and I served myself. And then I would just relax. And it was this permission slip for me to relax. Now, one thing that happened is about a year ago, I went to get a tattoo on my leg done in New York. And when I went, I had this, I got there, the flight was delayed and I got there at like midnight. I had the tattoo session at like 9 or 10 in the morning, which is pretty early. And I was going ahead 2 hours from where I was in, oh, I know I went from California. I was going ahead 3 hours from California 'cause I was in LA at the time. And what happened was I didn't have the Hapéh and I'd been doing it every single day, not really thinking about it, being like, oh, I could just stop doing this thing and it wouldn't affect me at all. Basically what I end up doing is getting there at 2 or 3 in the morning, trying to find a place to ground myself from the airport. And I'm in New York where there's like no, I'm just going to these janky parks and stuff like that. But basically, I get back to my room and I just could not sleep and I couldn't figure out why. And then the next day, I got this tattoo that was extraordinarily painful on my thigh. It was like 8 hours of work done and I didn't sleep at all the night before. It felt— it was a horrible experience. But I thought it was just because of the delayed flight. Well, then what I end up doing is continuing to do Hapéh and then I sleep good again. And I was just in total denial that this Hapéh could have any effect on me really. But then what happened is just about a little over a week ago, my friend Victor came over to my house and we were doing this Hapéh and this Hapéh actually moved from the ceremonial powder Hapéh to this like biohacking thing that had like oxytocin and nicotine in it. And it was like, it still had Amazonian tobacco in it, but it was like a liquid because I would get less congested. Nonetheless, I didn't realize this, but I've been doing that every single day, at least 2 or 3 times a day for like 2 years, like a year and a half at least. And then my friend Victor comes over and we're hanging out and we're doing it. And then somehow my neck went back a certain way and it like got into the back of my throat. And then I had a sore throat. It was like such a bad sore throat that like every time I swallowed, it hurt. So after a day of this sore throat, knowing that it probably came from this thing, I then was like, I'm gonna take a break from it. I take a break from it and then I could figure it out, but it's like, I almost got this, like, felt like I was sick for like a day and it was hard to sleep for literally 3 nights. It was like very challenging to sleep. And then I started putting it together. I'm like, wait, it's this spray. And I have friends that do this spray. It's like this common thing that like we'll do together sometimes. And it's like, it brings us in our hearts so we can connect with each other. But, and nonetheless, you know what I realized is like a year and a half, like a year ago, I went through like a dopamine detox where I didn't do Hapéh, I didn't do anything for like weeks. And I remember I was having trouble sleeping when I was in Costa Rica, I decided to do this of all places where the stuff is like abundantly. But I can definitely tell that like, I never really connected it to sleep, but it was like my body was somehow withdrawing from this, nicotine, and even though it's done with the sacred way, like this medicine, it's done and it can be done in a sacred way, I was just honest with myself and this thing was something that was definitely holding me back in the sense that I felt dependent on it. And I felt like it was a way for me to certainly change my state. So then after like 3 or 4 days of this, of stopping to do it, I'm realizing that there's this connection to my sleep, there's this connection to like, oh, there is this form of addiction to it, this dopamine that I feel when I do it. And for days, my nose was really runny. I think my nose was so used to creating like this layer of protection a couple times a day when I would do this thing that would burn, and then I would feel very calm and relaxed. But nonetheless, it's like I'm going through the, I've gone through the process of like being congested, understanding it's a part of the withdrawal process. But what's emerged as a result is so much clarity, so much extra energy. I've read online that like after a period of time, like your resting heart rate goes down. Basically, I would rationalize doing this because it was this sacred thing. But the challenge is that it takes it from being the sacred thing you do in ceremony to being this thing that you literally feel like you need. And with any substance, I think that can be the case. I think that some of these you could do once in a blue moon and have this beautiful experience connection, smoke some cannabis and play some music, play some guitar or something. I could see the benefit in that. But most people or a lot of people that do these end up falling into it as being a crutch. You end up doing it all the time. And it's this constant dopamine spike and this constant like stress on your system. So basically I stopped doing it. And I'm making this video, by the way, also as a form of accountability for myself because I've quit like once or twice, I'm like, why'd I quit? It's a sacred thing, and I go back to it. But this for me is just a way also, there's been times of things in the past I do where I just cold turkey stop it, and I just know I can do it. And I'm gonna talk a little bit about that here in a minute. Now, first off, let's look at this, and then I'm gonna calibrate certain things, levels of consciousness, and kind of show you where some of these things lie according to what's called muscle testing, which is what our subconscious mind is connected to to understand how these things correlate with emotions. So understand enlightenment, peace, joy, and love, that's who you naturally are. It's a high level of consciousness, but it's not high in the sense that it's away from a natural vibration. When you're looking at someone else with, and you feel love with them, it's because that's who you naturally are. They're reflecting back the love that you naturally are. When you're in your passion and you're doing what you love, you are in a higher vibrational state of consciousness. It's not something you've had to attain, it's something that you naturally resonate with. So when we talk about these substances, many of these substances will actually lower your vibration and keep you in states of stress, of unconscious energy, of unfelt emotion. And when you finally embrace it, you can have this huge upleveling of consciousness. Now, first off, these are, you've got shame, fear, guilt, anger, courage, eventually neutrality, then acceptance, then willingness. This is like willpower. This is like Tony Robbins, like starting to take action, Gary Vaynerchuk type energy. Reasoning, your beliefs create your reality. What do you believe to be true is what you experience. And then love is what you naturally are, joy, peace, enlightenment. Now, even in other, like people that are enlightened have said, and I'm not saying I'm enlightened by the way, I'm not. However, I'm somebody that has raised my vibrational set point from where it used to be, where back in 2012, when I went through my awakening, one of the things that happened is I learned how to observe my thoughts. I learned how to create more space within myself just by observing my thoughts and not trying to control them. And I went on a scale from 1 to 10 1 feeling horrible and separated from who I really was and feeling like kind of lost to 10 feeling incredible blissful. I was at about a 3 out of 10. I didn't feel very good. And I was smoking, I was drinking, I was addicted to, I was taking Adderall every day when I went to work, I was smoking cannabis at night, I was drinking alcohol occasionally, even doing nicotine, I guess. I was doing hookah, smoking hookah, which I'll talk a little bit about. But what happened was I learned meditation. I learned how to observe my thoughts because the side effects of Adderall were you didn't eat very much, you didn't sleep very much. It's a prescription drug they give to people that have what is called ADHD. So I was on this hamster wheel of taking Adderall during the day. It'd be very hard to eat or sleep because of the side effects. So at night I would smoke cannabis just to balance it out and then to actually sleep and to eat. And I'm like, man, I'm so dependent on these substances. And one of the game changers for me was I went to work one day selling women's shoes at Nordstrom's, and my hand was twitching, and it wasn't like painful or anything. I just, I was with a customer and I remember looking at it going like, whoa, my hand's twitching. And she was like, oh, this dude's tweaked out or something. I was legally taking Adderall, but I was like, man, there's something to this. I want to find something else. So I went online and was like, is there anything that doesn't have any side effects to help with ADHD? And I came across meditation. And I was like, huh, let me, there's no negative side effects of this. The first 2 or 3 days of meditating, I didn't really experience much because I was still inside of my head trying to control my thoughts. The 3rd or 4th day in, I read something that said, if you observe your thoughts, not try to control them, and you stare at a candle flame, when your eyes not wandering, Your mind's not wandering. So I did that. And as I did that, I started to become aware of my thoughts. I would let them be there. There was this level of presence that emerged inside of myself. And I started to feel within, I just also made a choice that my life was gonna change. Like I felt like this meditation was gonna change my life. And there was this firm decision that like, this is gonna change me forever. I don't know if it was a recollection that this is like gonna happen or like a decision. But nonetheless, I did have that. And then I started to, I felt completely different within like a very short period of time. I started to feel like a 7 or 8 out of 10. I felt high majority of the time. And these things where normally I would feel a 3, I would smoke some cannabis, I would drink and I'd feel like a 5, and then I would drop back down. All of a sudden, I feel high majority of the time. And I remember walking around my room wondering, is this feeling ever gonna go away? Like, is my base point gonna drop back down? And what happened was my base point stayed. Yes, things would happen and sometimes I'd get frustrated or it'd bring me back, but I would then come back to this new set point. So what happened is within 2 or 3 weeks, I completely stopped smoking cannabis. I completely stopped doing Adderall. I completely stopped drinking. I started meditating every day. My diet switched up, like it completely transformed my life. And what I ended up doing is embracing a lot of emotions that I hadn't priorly let myself feel. One of those was letting go of cannabis was a really emotional thing for me because I did it for so long. I never really completely resonated with drinking alcohol a lot because the side of like the next 2 days of feeling like crap didn't really make sense to me. But cannabis for me was something I could do and I would feel really good, and then I could still like watch things with friends and explore consciousness and look at the stars and play basketball. Like there were these things I could do on it that I would rationalize it with. However, there was a part of myself that knew it wasn't good for me, but anytime I saw something online that said anything different, I would like, no, it's connected to higher consciousness. You can raise your vibration. And like there was this fight for it to be like something okay for me to do. but towards the end, I knew it was something that it was time for me to quit. And I remember going, this is how I knew it was like a relationship that I had. Like these things you may have like a literal relationship with, and part of quitting it is grieving the relationship. So for me, when I quit smoking cannabis, I knew it was time for me to quit. I was starting to feel this higher vibrational emotion inside of my body, but I kept, I would do it and it would like bring my energy back down. Like I would start to feel paranoid and I never felt paranoid before and I didn't understand it. So one thing that I did was I had friends that owned a smoke shop. I go to the smoke shop, I buy a bong. That was like $300. And I sold women's shoes at the time. I didn't make that much money, but I knew I shouldn't have bought it because I knew I was in the process of quitting, but I bought the bong. Then I go home and I load up a bowl and then I smoke. And then what happened is I blew, I breathed it in, knew I shouldn't have been doing it, was already like this, tug and pull thing where I knew it was time for me to quit, as I breathed in that hit, as I breathed out, I started to cry. I literally started to release emotion that was stored inside of my body. There was that of an energy that I could feel. Basically, I was like, not having a life review. I know this sounds pretty esoteric and weird, but I could feel, I had an ex-girlfriend that I used to smoke a lot around and she didn't like it. And she would drink and I'd be like, why can't I smoke? And it was always this thing. So I could feel like what she felt like when I wasn't emotionally present with her. And then with my dad and my sisters, I'd go over to his house sometimes just really high. There's this photo that's still on the fridge to this day that I was kind of ashamed of because I'm with my sisters. We're all happy, but my eyes are just completely glazed. And my dad, I could feel, knew I was high, but I felt guilty for that. Basically, I was feeling all the emotion that I felt from that, doing that, doing cannabis. And as I was crying, I was releasing that relationship because I knew from that moment forward I was gonna quit. Like I just knew it. And that was the last hit I took for like many, many years. Then years and years later, I took a small hit like a couple times, but that was it. And I like, it wasn't something that I would do. I considered myself sober. And if I did it, it was like once in like, I don't know, once a year or something. Small little hit that I'd be afraid of. But nonetheless, that was like, it was like grieving a relationship almost. And when I quit though, it was 2, I remember for 2 or 3 weeks, it was weird because I was in this different reality. I got so used to being high all the time that like, it was a different reality, felt weird. My sleep was like shit for like a week. I also was for like off and on, like every couple days I would throw up this yellow mucus because for a year and a half, 2 years, I smoked cannabis every day. This yellow mucus that was inside my chest, I intuitively knew was past emotion that I wasn't allowing myself to feel. So I'm going through this process of feeling this intense emotion. I'm throwing up this yellow bile. I am let go of weed, let go of alcohol, let go of taking Adderall. Within 2 weeks of learning meditation, I completely got off Adderall, started to feel present. It's a very interesting, very interesting shift in consciousness for me. And I became very passionate about meditating. Like, I filled up what I was doing. Like, I don't know if I became addicted to meditation, but I'd rather be addicted to meditation than be addicted to the substances. But nonetheless, like, I quit smoking, I quit drinking caffeine in like 2016, 2017. No, 2015, probably. I just decided one day I'm never gonna drink caffeine again. Like, I'm not saying, and I'm not saying caffeine is like this thing you should not be doing, but What I'm saying is these substances affect our brain, they affect our vibration in different ways, and I just like being very clear. I like feeling sober. The more I can embrace emotions and generate energy from the inside out, the more empowered I feel. And even now, as I'm not doing that thing, the nose thing, the nose spray that's like the Hapéh powder thing, every time I remember that I would normally do it, I actually feel empowered because it reminds me that I no longer need it. It reminds me of how free I am now. And I feel more mentally clear and I have more energy and like my sleep is adjusting, but like I just know it will just like it did with these other, all of these other things. So when we talk about, if you were to calibrate using kinesiology, these different things, when you think of courage, think of liquid courage, what do we call that, right? So alcohol. That is liquid courage. Now, people will sometimes drink alcohol. They may feel fear, guilt, anger, and all of a sudden they get this release, they get this escape. They then feel up here. And what happens though is your vibration's naturally meant to be up here. So doing these things, it's bringing you down. Now, what I have realized is that processing, allowing myself to feel these emotions has been the key to releasing it from my body. One of the most powerful ways I found to do this is something called somatic release breathwork. Now, I'm certified in this breathwork process. I have it for free if you wanna go through a 2-hour breathwork ceremony. It is the thing that has transformed my life the most over the last like 5 years, 'cause when I got certified in it, I did it. And I've had 20, 30,000 people go through my 21-day challenges and do this exact process. And every, it is something that consistently people have the biggest breakthroughs with. And it has to do with music and breathing, and it's simple and you just follow along. If you wanna check that out, it's in my course, that's a $1,000 course for free called High Vibe 101 that shows you how to raise your vibration. I'll go ahead and link it in the description box below. But basically, you join that, it's free, and High Vibe Tribe, the community, and in there you will see the breathwork that you can do for free to process, to feel, and to heal these emotions. It's a very powerful experience. But nonetheless, when you feel fear, shame, anger, and you allow yourself to feel it, you heal it. And then your vibration naturally raises. Now down here, this I would say is something like a negative drug, cocaine or something like that. Even honestly Adderall, I think it like negative emotions you immediately release, but it's considered a very low vibration. So you could say, or Adderall. Now I know some people do this. I'm not here saying that you need to quit if you're on Adderall and you're medically prescribed it, I'm not a doctor, For me, meditation is what helped me get off of it. That's just what I'm saying. I don't want people to think that I'm claiming to be a doctor, I'm telling you to get off of it. You have to find out what's true for you. I think that also some of these can be done in a higher level of consciousness. So for example, it's possible that like people, if they smoke weed, they're not doing it to escape their emotions. They do it once in a very blue moon when they play music and they feel really good. Alcohol, Abraham Hicks talks about this. If you drink, it's like the energy from which you drink it also goes into it. If you're celebrating with friends and you're drinking a glass of wine, I think that's okay. Some people, part of their culture is they drink wine when they eat dinner and it's just one glass. So they're not doing it to necessarily escape emotions. This is why you have to use your own discernment here as well. Now I'm saying for me, I was drinking to escape. I was smoking cannabis to escape. I didn't think I was just trying to escape, but I was trying to escape the emotions I was feeling. Now when you think of cannabis, acceptance. I already spelled cannabis, whatever. I probably spelled it wrong, it's okay. That acceptance, when you smoke, why do you feel? You feel kind of acceptance in the moment, right? It's neutrality as well, like observing. It's like this very like kind of a passive state, which can be a big breakthrough if you're feeling lower vibrational emotions. But remember, you're naturally up here. So when it comes to these, understand that you are meant to feel high a majority of the time. Processing your emotions, feeling it, observing your thoughts, realizing you think thoughts but you're not your thoughts is a huge epiphany in understanding that you then allow higher vibrational divine energy into your body, which is of course what you naturally are. Now, when we talk about that, of how to quit these things. Now, I will say, one of the things that's helped me is I take away the identity from it. Like, imagine someone that's a smoker that's like, I'm a smoker trying to quit smoking. It's hard because you identify as a smoker. When you realize that there's a version of you that never did smoke, you could begin to tap into that. Let go of the identity. Ultimately, it comes from making a firm choice, a firm choice. So I made a choice I was back in the day, even caffeine. I was working that 9 to 5 job selling women's shoes. And what happened is every time in December, we'd be really busy and I would go and I would drink this green matcha looking thing from a place called Teavana that was next to Barney's New York. And I would drink so much caffeine for a month and I would make so much money. But then in December, I would crash because I would get off of it. One year in like 2015, I decided, or 2016, I decided Why do I keep crashing? It was called swamp water because it had so much matcha in it. That's what my coworkers would call it. And I would drink this swamp water, which is just tea. I wasn't drinking coffee at the time. Back in the day, when I was doing Adderall, I would take like 4 shots of espresso because coffee would calm me down. But nonetheless, just one day I just decided I'm gonna quit and I just stopped. It's a possibility and it may not be easy at first. It may be like your mind is addicted to it or like wants it, but you just have to stick to that decision. But don't see it as a part of your identity. Tap into the part of you that that's not who you are anymore. That's what really helped me is kind of using parallel reality shifting in a way, but making the firm choice that this is who I'm committed to. I'm committed to feeling the unconscious unfelt emotion from the past, knowing that as I feel through it, I naturally raise my vibration. Now for a moment, I will touch on plant medicine. Plant medicines can calibrate much higher because they teach us, they help us remove blocks. They can, like when people calibrate them, some people say they resonate like mushrooms and stuff can resonate at basically a level of 450 to 500 when 500 is love. So they can be very powerful teachers. I believe ayahuasca can be a very powerful teacher. Some people may do it though to escape. I know it sounds like kind of out there because it is like a very intense thing, but ayahuasca is a brew that people can drink that can help you become aware of the subconscious parts of yourself. It's been a very powerful teacher in my life. However, I do not believe plant medicine is necessary to be of a higher vibration. I believe it's just necessary for you to feel the emotions that come up. You can become aware of the patterns. However, I think that ayahuasca, wachuma, which is called St. Pedro, which is mescaline, it's a cactus, can also resonate with that of love. So some of the plant medicines can definitely resonate between that 400 to 500. However, they're meant to be done ceremonially, not all the time. Maybe you could throw hapeh in there, I don't know. I don't know what Nick, like hapeh cigarettes is maybe a form of plant medicine that there are different forms. Like, I don't know, I don't know how deep I wanna get into this, but there's certain forms of things that are done with sacred energy Like cigarettes even, mapacho, could be done with a sacred connection to the tobacco plant, which is said to be one of the first plants that introduced the shaman to then, you know, how to mix this vine with this vine to make ayahuasca. But nonetheless, I think these things can still be crutches. And I think that what I've become aware of is I wanna be as clear as possible. I wanna allow myself to naturally feel high a majority of the time and not feel like I depend on, I'm dependent on all these substances. So if you do want to quit, one of the things we do in High Vibe 101, which is my free course, is a vibrational detox where you become aware of where your vibration is, how you can let go of these things. I show you how to let go of substances. There's a whole process in there you can check out. So I'll go ahead and link that below for you to check that out. I have other videos as well that share my journey with cannabis, how I quit. I'll go ahead and link some of those right here. This video, I'm gonna be sharing with you why I stopped smoking weed or marijuana how I did it, and how it's absolutely transformed my
