Other than that, enjoy today's episode. Welcome to the State Shifters Podcast, a show dedicated to helping you discover your true potential through connecting the mind, body and soul. So share some weekly insights with you all titled Today's Video Recording. This live recording Deep Transformation. And the reason being is I'm going to be sharing some of the deep transformation that's kind of unfolded for me over the last week and a half to two weeks. I would say this transformational process that I've undergone in the last week has really put the stamp on the beginning of something really big and new happening in my life. And I wanted to share the process of deep transformation and how to start to embark on your own journey and process or perhaps maybe putting a chapter to an end, closing a door to allow a new one to open. So basically, if you watched my last week's video, my week just gone was massive. Moved into a new place, embarked on my first DMT5 Meo DMT journey delivered a presentation during the week and then closed off the week yesterday with a deep extended breathwork event here in Perth with some of my good friends. Yasmin and Mitch put together their first Altered States event. Now to cap things off like yesterday, you know, since doing this plant medicine ceremony last week, I've really felt as though my crown chakra has been like burst open and my energy has been really pure. Something big was released in me in that ceremony. And yesterday in the breath work, I would say I had just as an intense of an experience as I did taking the toad medicine, which was the dmt. So it kind of confirmed to me that, you know, through the power of our own breath, through your own tools that you already have access to, we have the ability to establish deep transformation, meaning liberate ourselves of energy and anything that's stuck within the body. Now this experience for me of deep breath work, for those who have not experienced breath work before, the breath is such a powerful tool in enabling us to get beyond our conscious mind and really tap into the emotional body of the subconscious and really get curious around what's down there. Now, when you breathe for an extended period of time, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, what happens is you can, you can really get into the areas that you can't access. Sometimes when you stay on the surface, when you do surface level meditations, and that was the benefit of doing the plant medicine and that was the benefit of extended practices. You really get to get in deep and like pull out things that are stuck down there. These could be emotional blockages, traumas, things that we haven't overcome from our past. When we really create space for ourselves through using tools, our own tools or tools from the earth, plant medicines, we can liberate ourselves of vast amounts of energy that's stored within the body. And when we do that, it just opens up the channel. One of the channels that opened up for me from these experiences is just a heightened sense of clarity. The pineal gland in the brain, right, where it secretes melatonin when you go to sleep at night, it also secretes dmt, which helps you dream. The toad medicine is almost like just blasted my pineal gland with this dmt, which is the kind of spirit molecule, God molecule, and that that energy can be tapped into through your practices such as breath work, right, you can release your own dmt. So it's sort of like through the combination of these two, these two modalities, the plant medicine, the breath this DMT has just been like swirling around in my brain and it's been like flowing through me in really profound ways. So if you are curious about that and you want to start to learn to tap into your own, you know, source DMT spirit, set the intention of doing that and breathe into that. There's certain ways in which you can pull up the kundalini energy from your lower centers and pull that up through the power of your breath and the intention behind it and really focus on trying to explode energy up, tune into your, into, into your higher self, tune into higher realms, but then most importantly, being able to bring that energy back down into your body. Something that I've really been paying a lot of attention to is how do I embody this higher wisdom that's coming through, how do I ground it in the physical world? And we do that through, you know, obviously getting, getting into our body, exercising and grounding the energy through, you know, eating clean, healthy foods. Another way you can start to understand how to work with what it is that you need is understand your zodiac sign. Understand, you know, okay, if for me, I'm a Taurus, so naturally I'm very grounded. Some people who are different zodiac signs, maybe Aries or more or what earth and water signs, it can be harder to ground your energy. So depending on what you need more of. I've been focusing on bringing more energy up because naturally I'm already grounded. But if you're already up here, you've got a lot of energy swirling around the higher centers, focus on regrounding. So I wanted to share that with you guys. Over the last couple of weeks, the deep shifts that have been happening through the energy flowing up into my higher centers and now focusing on how to operate in a more balanced, aligned way. So there's a lot of tools and a lot of ways in which you can do that. And the other thing I wanted to speak about today on this, on this live chat and thanks very much for joining me guys. Great to see you on here is the ability access your intuition from these places. And you know, I've spoken about on previous live chats before, you know, when you start to dial in these elevated states, these elevated energies through your breath work or your plant medicine or whatever, there's no point staying with these practices, there's no point engaging in these practices, meditation, breath work. But then if you go back into your everyday life, you're, you're pulled back into the mind and you're not, you're not present, you're not integrating the Insights you're getting. So breathwork, meditation, awesome. Plant medicine is awesome. But how do you then go about operating in your, in your everyday life? What lessons have you taken from these, these experiences that you can then apply to your relationships, to your work, to your business? So being able to integrate the lessons for me requires present moment awareness, being able to center your mind back into your body, being able to operate from a place of clarity, mindfulness. And that's a practice as well. So for me, that's been an ongoing practice over the last couple of weeks. And what opens up from that is more guidance, more guidance from your intuition called intuition. Call it, call it the, call it spirit, call it the universe. Guidance comes through you in really subtle ways. But these subtle ways get louder, quieter. Your mind is. And for me, when you trust this guidance, it has a plan for you that's beyond what your mind can comprehend. And sometimes there's an element of faith and trust that's required in this plan, this divine plan to allow it to just show you where to go. And when you ask for guidance, whether maybe you're stuck in a situation and you don't know what to do, or maybe you're just at a point in your journey, or you're ready for the next chapter, you're ready for the next stage, but you don't know what that looks like yet. Just ask. Ask your, ask your higher power. Ask God. Ask, Ask whatever it is that you believe in that's beyond yourself, that's governing this whole, you know, the whole universe, the world, and have trust in that, that it will show you the way. So there's an element of faith and trust that, you know, I feel is super important in life. And to be able to, you know, embody or tap into whatever that, whatever you believe is guiding you and have a daily ritual or daily practice where you commune with that place brings a lot more comfort into what's happening. Because sometimes right now people, it can be very unsettling what's happening. Sometimes we can be confused and thrown into like turmoil around what's going to happen. We can lose faith sometimes. But when you have faith and trust that you are being guided and ultimately what's happening isn't actually that important. Like what's happening on the surface of life isn't really that serious. It doesn't really matter. And I know that can sound a little bit unsensitive, that it doesn't really matter. But to me it's a little bit liberating because when I faced my darkest fears last Week in my ceremony with the 5 Meo DMT and I was shown some of these intense fears that sometimes we get caught up in these little more minute fears in our minds, the little day to day worries. But when we face some of the deeper fears and pull them out, we realize that shit doesn't, none of this shit actually matters. What actually matters is we just have fun and enjoy life and love the process. We have faith and trust, we love ourselves, we give love to others. A lot of the stuff we worry about is actually out of our control anyway. So you know, the belief that you know there's nowhere to go and there's nothing to do with opens you up to go anywhere and do anything. So where you are right now, exactly where you need to be, there's no way you got it, there's no way you gotta go and there's nothing you're gonna do. Let go of that. That's, that's, that's, that's the, that's the grounding right there. You don't have to do anything. Let go. Having to do anything. And what comes through you when you let go of that is your guidance. And you'll be shown where to go and what to do. So sometimes we, so we're so caught up thinking we need to do things, we need to do this. There's nothing, there's nothing to do, nothing really matters. What matters is that you love yourself, you're having fun, you're connected, your peace, your love, your joy. And there are these belief systems that we chose to adopt. I'm chose to live by and it's been working, feels good, but it's a practice. So you get to practice living by this stuff, right? And when the guidance pulls you, this is the other thing, when you get guidance and it's pulling you to make a decision, that's scary. You have to still trust that that's the right decision. Sometimes our old coping mechanisms kick in. The stories will kick in about you shouldn't do that, enough money, shouldn't quit your job yet it's giving you good benefits. Don't leave that relationship, they look after you. If you're getting guidance and it's time to take that next step and it's a scary step you must follow. Don't listen to the story of the mind that's trying to keep you safe because that's trying to keep you limited and small and stuck. Your guidance is trying to expand you. It's trying to evolve you. It's trying to trust your evolution even when it seems scary even when sometimes you can't justify it by the mind. It just feels right. Lean into that. And I would say that's leaning into discomfort. If your guidance is pulling into an area of discomfort. For me, it was pulling me into the toad medicine last week. It was pulling me into doing these deep breathwork ceremonies. They're pretty uncomfortable. They're like sometimes not very fun. But it felt right. It felt like it was time to go. So whatever that is for you. And I get the sense that we have these things that are down there that are pulling us, but sometimes we delay it because it's uncomfortable. I don't want to do that yet. I'm not ready. Trust in those inner pools, in those inner feelings, and often behind those fears, behind those big fears or little fears, those. That is the next step in your evolution. That's the next step in your journey. So take stock. What are we most afraid of right now? In areas of your life, where do you feel most afraid or most resistant to facing, but under. Underneath it, you know you should do it underneath, you know, you should face it. Because that's where the ultimate level up happens. The ultimate level up happens when you lean into those little, lean into those edges. You face those scary conversations or those scary experiences that you, you know, you should be having or doing. That's when on the other end of that, a new you comes through. Evolution happens. So right now it's, it's. There's no point playing safe. Right now. He's playing safe ain't fucking working. So no more playing safe, leaning to your edges and take these scary risks. Do like, go out if you're curious about plant medicine, try that stuff. Be curious about doing some, some breath work. You want to try something you. You've been putting off, Now's the time. No more playing safe. Lean into your edges, trust your evolution, and you come out the other end of this experience a brand new person. And it feels good. You get more energy from that. You move beyond the old. You so wanted to share that with you guys. We're enjoying jumping on here live once a week. This is going to be happening once a week. Jump on here and just share some lessons that have been coming through me from the week. That was such a massive week for me this week. So now still integrating the lessons that I took from last week into this week. But the process will be the same. Taking things real slow. My day is mainly prioritized around can I keep my mind quiet? And that is everything, guys, I really want to simplify life to that. Can you keep your mind quiet? Because when it is, everything happened, everything works out. The right action happens, the right conversations, the right opportunities, the right people, everything shows up. When your mind is quiet, you're connected to your body. You're coming from a place of love, you're coming from a place of trust. Life takes care of you. So just means prioritize all the practices, all the things that are going to help you silence your mind. Have faith and trust. Keep things slow. You know, oftentimes when things get stressed out, we get anxious, we speed up. Things like kick into overdrive, we need to do more stuff like gotta go out and hustle, flip that, slow everything down. Prioritize, silencing the mind, Be out in nature, meditate, journal, read whatever you need to do. And then trust these inner feelings, trust these pools and ask. When your mind's quiet and you know you're in a good place, you're feeling good, that's your indicator. When you're feeling good, that's your indicator. So you can, you can manifest what it is that you want. Maybe manifesting what you want is guidance on what that next step is. And if you want more money, manifest it from that place. I'm ready to receive more abundance and prosperity. Say it. And when you're feeling good, watch it come to you. So when you silence the mind and you feel good, life operates in your favor. Life will move through you. And you can direct it consciously based on whatever it is that you want to manifest with the knowing that what you manifest doesn't actually matter. You don't need to manifest anything with that. Knowing gives you the freedom to choose what you want to do, right? Because you know when you're feeling loved and you're feeling grateful and you're feeling connected, you don't need anything external. Life's happening from the inside out. So if you're already connected from this place, you don't need anything. And it's funny, when you live from that place, everything you want shows up. So the ways in which I prioritize that is daily breathwork, daily meditation, and within the day, setting up little triggers throughout your day that can help you operate from this place of quiet stillness, mindfulness throughout your day, and obviously practices that shift your state instantly. Help with that. Cold showers, swimming at the beach this morning, exercise, going for walks, listening to my favorite podcasts and audio books, anything that's going to just guide you back into becoming more mindful and aware, shifting your state. Right? Cold showers are my favorite way of Doing that, it just shifts you back into a place of like clarity and then you can direct your energy more effectively. So you then my main practices of doing that one simple way of doing this, guys, and one, one, one of the ways I've noticed that pulls you out of feeling your best is if you sleep. Shit, it sounds real simple. This is not some spiritual, like spiritual masterclass when you talk about sleep, but sleep is so important. And if you know, you know when you don't sleep well and you wake up feeling like crap, your whole day's thrown off. So I noticed that sleep is one of the number one priorities in the way in which I operate. And to nail good sleep is very simple as well. Go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time. And sometimes if you stay up late, you have a late night. Cool. Make sure you wake up at the same time every single day. And if you have to wake up at the same time every single day and you get less sleep than what you would like, have a nap later in the day. Because if you're not waking up at the same time, your body runs in cycles, right? And essentially you want to start to cycle your body into a consistent pattern so that when you wake up, your mind's fresh and you'll know when you've waken up. Say one morning you wake up at 5am and the next morning you're waking up at 7, then you wake up at 6. It takes you a few hours to get into the day. Your meditation is not as good, the way you've exercised is not as good, and everything's affected. So wake up at the same time every single morning and try to develop some patterns in the way that your body operates. Try to eat at the same time, sleep at the same times, meditate at the same times, and your body will get into a flow, get into a rhythm, right? And this is discipline. And discipline for me equals freedom in the mind and also give you a bit of freedom outside as well. Because when you do the things that you say you're going to do, then all of a sudden it frees up space in your schedule and your day to be more effective. So discipline, commitment, momentum, Go to bed at the same time, exercise the same times, follow through on the things you say you're going to do, and prioritize the hardest things first. Like this morning, got up 6am, did my workout, did my cold swim, and they're the hardest things in my day. I come home and breathe, right? And that, that creates momentum and this is a Monday, right? You nail this discipline by, by Wednesday, you're going to be feeling good, you're in the flow. So this, this level of discipline is key, is really key so that you've got these spiritual practices I'm talking about like guidance, tapping into your higher self. Dmt, you know, crown chakra, God, universe, flowing, flowing that into reality requires discipline, commitment and momentum. Right? You know, I want to ground this stuff because like I run a business, I'm into business. I love talking about finance and grounding things in practicality. But I also like talking about the spirituality stuff. If you don't develop discipline, practices, habits, routines and rituals and have high standards for yourself, you can meditate all day and you'll never manifest the things you want. You never create the life you want, right? Same, same goes. You can hustle and work hard all day, but you'll never feel like you're a millionaire. You'll never feel loved because you haven't spent the time cultivating the seeds of the, of your heart and connecting with your higher power and that kind of stuff. See how it's like as a fine balance here. You master this stuff, guys. The both worlds here, the spiritual and the non material world and the physical, well, you'll be a master. You'll flow and you can create the life you want. You have to choose how you want to live. But this is just how I've chosen to live. So it's really cool that you guys have been on here. I can share this with you. It's fun. So this is my, this is a regular Monday thing that I do. Jump on here, share some lessons, just share some insights. Mainly just like flow. Don't really plan too much around what's going on here. But like I said, this is what happens when you start your day off good, you get into a flow, creativity moves through, right? And I want to emphasize the importance of that. Find your expression, channel the energy. Channel the energy into the areas you want to, you want to do well in. Find your creative outlet, have your disciplines and then put stuff out there. Just share, just share stuff like I'm doing right now. Share. Doesn't even matter if no one shows up. I'm going to be here every Monday sharing this stuff, whether anyone's here or not. Because it feels good. It feels good. And if you do it from that place as well, other people will pick up on it. Other people might like take something from your sharing, even if it's one person. That's amazing. That's fulfillment, that's purpose. But you're not doing it to get validation from anyone else. You're doing it because it feels good for you. So that's why I'm here doing this. And it feels good knowing that there's people watching for sure. So I want to send some love out to anyone who receives this and anyone who listens to this live. Thank you so much for joining me. This is Monday morning. Some people are probably ending their week weekend listening to this on a Sunday evening. So have an amazing week. Start your week off right. Plan it up. Plan out how you want to crush it tomorrow. What are the things you want to stick to? What are the commitments you want to show up as and build that level of discipline, commitment and freedom and faith and trust. You guys are amazing. If anything resonated and you want to chat more about what it is that you're trying to create in your life and start to integrate that balance, shoot me a message. Yeah, a lot more stuff coming at you guys. Big week ahead. Stay safe, stay well. I love you all. Take care. We'll talk soon. Hey, there we have it, guys. Thanks so much for listening to this episode.
