Podcast episode (52) by Drew Canole about feeling safe in a chaotic world. Main claim: "safety is an illusion" while "security" is a practical preparedness that increases feelings of safety. Drew describes how fear (stress/cortisol) locks people into the limbic fight-or-flight response and recommends daily practices to lower cortisol and build security: meditation/prayer, breathwork, exercise, gratitude journaling, community, nutritious diet, and modest preparedness steps (food storage, considering relocation, legal/region choices). He also discusses media-induced fear ("disaster-baiting"), encourages perceiver-over-thinker mindset, and closes with a sponsor mention for MySoulCBD (15% off at mysoulcbd.com).

All right, my friend. Welcome to the Drew and you'd podcast. Today we are talking about safety. How do we feel safe in a world that just seems so crazy chaotic and a lot of people are disaster baiting. Listen, I get it. I was a disaster baiter for a long time. Every single disaster I looked at, it's like a race to the back. The limbic brain everywhere. We go online, we watch the news, we see this, we see that. It's. It's freaky, it's scary, and it keeps us stuck in that dorsal freeze. That moment when the deer runs across the street and all of a sudden it gets hit with the headlight and it just stops in its tracks. That's what's happening to a lot of people. They're losing their creativity, they're losing their life purpose and on track for something creative. As Toltec say, we are all artists here to make art on the planet at this time. And because of the pandemic or whatever we want to call it, this fear based lack of science mechanism that's just beating the drum of fear more and more fear. It's strongholding people in a position of not feeling safe. So today we're going to break it down. I'm going to tell you what safety really is and can you feel safe in the first place, what we can do about it, and then how to feel more secure in your life as we move forward here on the Drew and you show. Let's go. All right, first and foremost, I just want to say it real quick. Safety, my friend, is an illusion. Maidan has always told me, the shaman that I've been working with for the past 13 years, he said, today is a good day to die. And if you read any Carlos Consonada's works, Don Juan would say that that death is always at our left side, watching us in every moment, right? Just waiting for us. Who knows? You get hit by lightning like my don has been twice. You, I don't even know how this man's alive. He's definitely a super being on the planet at this time, you get hit by a car, right? You get Covid. You have all these diverse diseases, trials and tribulations, things that we're up against every single day that would question our ability to feel safe. So can we feel safe all the time? Absolutely not. Not in this world. We're in a 3D third density world at this time. Many are shifting back and forth, but that's a whole entire podcast commuters from the other dimensions.
So how do we feel Safe now. And what's the story of you feeling safe in your life?
Maybe as an adult? How can you create more security? Because security is. Safety is an illusion. Like I said, security is the preparedness that would leave one feeling safe. So how do we create and be more prepared in our life? Mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually? What can we do every single day? And there's a multitude of different exercises. I've talked about this on different YouTube videos over the past, what, 10, 11 years. But one of the big things I do is self love rituals and I love gratitude, journaling and surrounding myself with a community. That's not disaster baiting all the time or chaos racizing. Right. There's two things that people are doing right now, and I'm really clear on it, I used for the past year I would just research and research vigorously all the information about different variants and what's really happening with the WHO and what's happening with this and what's happening with Fauci and what's happening with all these people. And I got to a point where it's like, this is a game, like we have known since the very beginning. This is a. The world is an apparition, as Jesus says in the Gospel of Thomas, meaning this world's an illusion. And these puppets, slash policymakers, slash politicians, slash government agencies, slash this, slash that. All these people that we're seeing in mass media, which is owned by like six companies, right, they are literally, their job is to manage the herd, the herd of people on planet Earth. And the way to do that, the easiest way to do that, my friend, is through fear. If you can get somebody as scared, they literally become very easy to move. And it's a really, really sad thing. I see people frozen in fear. And the goal of this podcast is to break you out of that. So what can we do to remove the fear? Number one in our body? Stress creates more fear. Cortisol is sent to the brain, pushing the blood flow out of your left and right hemisphere, the cerebral spinal fluid, and locking it into that limbic brain. And when we're frozen in the limbic brain, that's the fight or flight. People are in fight or flight. And you're probably going to see more in this, more and more of this coming ahead. In the next two to three months, there's going to be more quote, unquote mandates, and that's going to freak a lot of people out. There's going to be potentially be.
Questions of food, food shortages, other things like that. I don't know if you guys have seen the videos, farmers are like burning their crops, doing this and that. And that's something to be prepared. So security, right? So removing the fear first and foremost from our body is lowering our cortisol. What can we do to do that? Well, number one, we can meditate, we can 20 to 30 minutes, just sit, silence, we can pray, we can use the power of affirmations or afformations and we can work out, we can move our body because it is shown that exercise actually lowers stress in the body, boosts the immune system.
Which is absolutely incredible. So you can do all these things to feel more home in your body. When you take care of this temple, when you eat right, you have a high vibrational diet filled with micronutrients, vitamins and aminos and enzymes and all these things that we've been talking about for years. When you do that, you feel better in your body. That bacteria, the microbiota in your gut, sends up more serotonin into your brain, which is needed now more than ever because there's so much fear out there. You start to feel better physically. And when you do that, you feel better emotionally and spiritually. So you create more security through the desired result of doing these things. Small habits every single day. If you find yourself waking up looking at the news or getting messages from friends that are saying that this is happening in the world and this Afghanistan thing showing up, it's good to know, but it's not good to ruminate on it. The more and more you look at it, the more you're pulling that, like we had talked about, closer into your life, closer into your life experience. So it's good to observe without any aversion and without any anger. I see a lot of people getting mad. They want to break shit, they want to freak out, and that only pulls it closer to you as well. So to be the perceiver versus the thinker is the goal here. We create more security versus safety. And to do that we got to get real clear. Also on looking at everywhere, every area of our life and seeing if we are prepared right? So the thing that you fear in the future that will probably never come, am I prepared for it? If you're sitting around worried about farmers burning their crops, well, have you ordered two years worth of food? And if you haven't, maybe start with two or three months. And if you haven't done that, then figure out why. Right.
And there's all types of ways to get prepared. I'm just using that as an example. How can you have More security in that, right? If there's the zombie apocalypse coming, maybe you need some zombie apocalypse training.
If there is.
You know, all these mandates and different things happening in different states, well, what areas are they not doing this? What areas are they actually suing the government for passing these mandates? Maybe think about going there, right? And if it's not in the US at all, maybe think about buying some land there. These are all things that I've had in my mind, which is why I'm using them as examples.
I do think the US is probably a really good place to be right now. Looking at Australia, looking at Canada, some of the other places in the world. I still think we're, we're doing really, really well here and we're at this tipping point. I know you feel it. Big things are about to happen and there's news that's going to be revealed really, really soon which will give the good guys more favor. Because.
For a while now it's been looking pretty bleak. And I know you feel me on that. So again, are you disaster baiting every day and are you literally living in fight or flight? Are you doing your self care rituals like gratitude, journaling, community? Are you doing all that or are you focused on the fear? Because there is a neurochemical payoff. There's dopamine, right? When we feel like we're under attack, you get cortisol. Cortisol is very addictive. That's why I love lowering cortisol every day, through working out, through breathwork, through meditating, through drinking organifi green juice, all those things. Because it can be super, super addictive. And you want to watch that. So a little bit about safety. Feeling safe in your body, feeling secure, you know, what's the difference between safety and security? And yeah, are you feeling safe now and what are some of your practices? Leave comments, leave questions on my Instagram, I'm on Facebook. And leave a review over there on itunes. Hope and trust. This was helpful today, my friend. As always, remember, we're in this together.
