If you're truly interested then in sustaining homeostasis and balance, then you're going to have to self regulate.
Yes.
And it would be wonderful.
And we're working. We have this new program called the Inner Health Coalition. Because we've had so many doctors, so many researchers, so many healthcare providers come through our events.
Many of them heal themselves from all.
Kinds of health conditions, from spinal cord injuries to stage four cancers that really.
Just want to really look to see how this model could actually fit in their clinic. And there's gotta be a different conversation that can happen around health because chronic health conditions are created from a lifestyle. And if you don't change your lifestyle, nothing is going to change because nothing changes in our life until we change. So then.
If, then you would go to a practitioner where you could actually practice brain and heart coherence, which is our formula. Get your brain feeling those elevated emotions. Sorry, get your heart feeling those elevated emotions. And then get your brain coherent and do the, do the exercises to get your brain and body back into regulation, into homeostasis.
And then the key element is not that you react. I mean, who doesn't react? The question is how long, how long are you going to do that for? I mean, if you keep it going on, then there must be an addiction. Because an addiction is something you think you can't stop, or knowing something isn't good for you and you do it anyway. That's when you know you're addicted. Right. So then get the patient to really work on the emotional states that are keeping them and their body in the past.
It's so hard for people, I feel like.
Right, yeah. Because. Because. Because up until recently, there haven't been.
A whole lot of scientifically proven formulas.
Or ways to teach people how to do that. People by nature want to get over their emotional state. They just been hypnotized, they've been programmed, they've been conditioned into using something outside.
Of them to take away this feeling.
Inside, to numb the pain. Yeah, it's nothing wrong distract numb.
But you could go watch a movie or you could do this, you can do that, do all these different things, go out to dinner just to make the feeling away.
But the problem is the feeling always comes back.
