#72: Healing Isn’t Fixing—It’s Returning to Yourself With Oliver James Jenkin

What if healing didn’t mean fixing yourself, but remembering who you already are?

On this episode of Beyond The Pills, Josh Rimany welcomes Oliver James Jenkin, a compassionate guide and subject-matter expert in helping people gently reconnect with their inner strength, creativity, and peace. Through his calming presence and holistic approach, Oliver offers a powerful alternative to the hustle and pressure often associated with healing and personal growth. He creates a safe, grounded space for people to rediscover their spark for life—even in seasons when it feels completely out of reach.

Oliver’s message is refreshingly clear: healing doesn’t require fixing yourself, striving harder, or chasing perfection. Instead, he invites listeners to take spirituality off the pedestal and step fully into reality—where healing, joy, and meaning are found not in the extraordinary, but in the everyday. His work centers on offering practical tools and spiritual insight to help people find balance in chaos, hold themselves with compassion, and move through life with renewed freedom and ease.

With a gift for making the profound feel accessible, Oliver blends his own lived experiences as a business owner, father, and spiritual teacher to model a grounded path toward well-being. This episode explores how to reclaim peace without pressure, spirituality without striving, and wholeness without needing to be “fixed.”

one step one breath one

Speaker:

smile at a time welcome to

Speaker:

the show oliver james thank

Speaker:

you very much for having me

Speaker:

george pleasure to be here

Speaker:

oh I I we instantly

Speaker:

connected when we talked a

Speaker:

couple weeks ago and I'm

Speaker:

really excited to have you

Speaker:

on because I think what what you

Speaker:

you do and your story is so,

Speaker:

so relevant to the present day, right?

Speaker:

Like just hearing your bio,

Speaker:

like amidst the chaos and finding peace.

Speaker:

And a lot of people are just

Speaker:

struggling right now.

Speaker:

So let's just dive in.

Speaker:

Let's get into it.

Speaker:

Tell people a little bit

Speaker:

about who you are and

Speaker:

what's been going on.

Speaker:

Yeah, sure.

Speaker:

So, you know,

Speaker:

I live quite a busy lifestyle.

Speaker:

I have a lot of creative

Speaker:

strings to my bow.

Speaker:

I live with my beautiful wife, Rebecca,

Speaker:

and our six gorgeous children.

Speaker:

Some of them are homeschooled,

Speaker:

some of them aren't.

Speaker:

So you can imagine that

Speaker:

takes on a whole plethora of activities,

Speaker:

commitments, timestamps within our week.

Speaker:

And then obviously we run our business on

Speaker:

together as well so we run

Speaker:

an in-person practice here

Speaker:

in Devon in the UK I

Speaker:

obviously do stuff

Speaker:

underneath my own brand and

Speaker:

own name online mainly and

Speaker:

we also do sound healing

Speaker:

events up and down the

Speaker:

southwest of England so

Speaker:

It's not uncommon for us to

Speaker:

find our own selves in amidst that chaos.

Speaker:

And I think my path has been

Speaker:

all about finding a place

Speaker:

for myself and my

Speaker:

expression and the

Speaker:

difference that I want to

Speaker:

make in the world in a

Speaker:

really authentic way.

Speaker:

So I guess the journey really started.

Speaker:

I went to university when I

Speaker:

was nineteen to study anthropology,

Speaker:

always had

Speaker:

very strong inclination to

Speaker:

explore just the general

Speaker:

question of what is it to

Speaker:

be human what is it to be

Speaker:

alive what is awareness all

Speaker:

these sorts of things all

Speaker:

these sorts of questions

Speaker:

I'm still interested in now

Speaker:

and very much guide people

Speaker:

through but maybe in a very

Speaker:

different vocabulary so I

Speaker:

think like many of the

Speaker:

people I work with you find

Speaker:

a culturally available

Speaker:

avenue for your naturally

Speaker:

driven expression.

Speaker:

Mine would have been, I guess,

Speaker:

through academia.

Speaker:

I looked very different to how I look now.

Speaker:

I was really overweight at that time,

Speaker:

particularly unhealthy.

Speaker:

Moved to London,

Speaker:

did maybe a term of university,

Speaker:

and just realized that

Speaker:

really wasn't for me.

Speaker:

now that kind of came about

Speaker:

through an intuitive

Speaker:

feeling but also exploring

Speaker:

different things different

Speaker:

mechanisms about how world

Speaker:

architecture really works

Speaker:

whether it be big pharma in

Speaker:

the instance of how that is

Speaker:

orientated or the banking

Speaker:

system or the political

Speaker:

system and I guess it left

Speaker:

me in quite a disempowered place by

Speaker:

confusion really trying to

Speaker:

find my place in the world

Speaker:

by analyzing what was wrong

Speaker:

and out of balance in the

Speaker:

world and I think very much

Speaker:

that reflected how I felt

Speaker:

about myself at the time as well

Speaker:

Then one night after I'd

Speaker:

moved back and I was just

Speaker:

working a job in a restaurant,

Speaker:

which was great for me

Speaker:

because it was a sort of

Speaker:

standard day rinse and repeat.

Speaker:

I could go swimming in the sea,

Speaker:

I could work out and I was

Speaker:

kind of building my robustness up again.

Speaker:

I let go of a lot of my

Speaker:

addictions at that time.

Speaker:

I also became far more

Speaker:

interested in natural

Speaker:

medicine and what I was eating.

Speaker:

And one night I was just

Speaker:

slipping off to sleep and

Speaker:

breathing quite rhythmically.

Speaker:

And then all of a sudden,

Speaker:

just this most amazing

Speaker:

experience and sense of

Speaker:

expansiveness in my body.

Speaker:

I woke up the next morning

Speaker:

realizing that must be what

Speaker:

people say meditation must be.

Speaker:

And that sort of began a

Speaker:

journey of sending the

Speaker:

pendulum back the other way, really,

Speaker:

to discovering techniques

Speaker:

and different modalities in

Speaker:

which I could feel more self-empowered.

Speaker:

And through that journey, slowly becoming,

Speaker:

I guess,

Speaker:

more influential and impactful

Speaker:

within my local environment and,

Speaker:

of course, my relationships.

Speaker:

You know,

Speaker:

there's been all sorts of bereavements,

Speaker:

separations,

Speaker:

trials and tribulations in

Speaker:

that period from my life,

Speaker:

but really the constant has

Speaker:

been this sense of

Speaker:

returning to self and also

Speaker:

really kind of,

Speaker:

finding how do I communicate

Speaker:

what's going on in here to

Speaker:

other people and how do I

Speaker:

connect with others to

Speaker:

enrich my experience?

Speaker:

I think that something I was

Speaker:

always really aware of is

Speaker:

the spirituality,

Speaker:

science,

Speaker:

all of these different niche

Speaker:

disciplines can become

Speaker:

quite nihilistic the more

Speaker:

self driven they become.

Speaker:

And I think the fruit of any philosophy,

Speaker:

any practice is how easy

Speaker:

and how adaptable is it to

Speaker:

be able to share with the

Speaker:

community of the people around you,

Speaker:

which is so integral to how

Speaker:

I live my life and obviously how

Speaker:

me and my wife try to run our home too,

Speaker:

because if there's any sort

Speaker:

of litmus test for if

Speaker:

something's worth its salt,

Speaker:

it's your own children.

Speaker:

They will completely tear

Speaker:

apart anything that you

Speaker:

think about yourself or the world.

Speaker:

And I really embrace that process too.

Speaker:

I think that

Speaker:

I've always approached these

Speaker:

things with a real heavy

Speaker:

dose of skepticism,

Speaker:

and that's something that I

Speaker:

really try to imbue and

Speaker:

champion in those I work

Speaker:

with one-on-one and even

Speaker:

through my content too,

Speaker:

that your reality is very

Speaker:

much to be understood through your senses,

Speaker:

that your senses are a gift

Speaker:

that can complement the

Speaker:

logical parts of you,

Speaker:

especially when it comes to

Speaker:

health and especially spirituality too.

Speaker:

Yeah, I love the connect the dots.

Speaker:

When we have guests on the show here,

Speaker:

I always see them as like

Speaker:

the common threads, right?

Speaker:

The things that we're doing,

Speaker:

like the path to wholeness,

Speaker:

finding myself, looking inward,

Speaker:

asking those deeper questions.

Speaker:

It's kind of like got you in

Speaker:

that space of like

Speaker:

fulfillment and moving that forward.

Speaker:

Because like this summer,

Speaker:

was really a big step in my evolution.

Speaker:

Cause that was like, I named it like the,

Speaker:

you know, the journey to self,

Speaker:

like going across into Peru

Speaker:

and doing the things I

Speaker:

needed to do to get myself like in this,

Speaker:

you know, from the,

Speaker:

from within to without not the,

Speaker:

without like not the outside to the end.

Speaker:

And I love how you're, you know,

Speaker:

your journey has brought

Speaker:

you to this place of realization where

Speaker:

You're where you like, you know,

Speaker:

where we all sort of like

Speaker:

we start to fit into what

Speaker:

we're here to do and what

Speaker:

we're here to put an impact

Speaker:

on the world rather than just have a job.

Speaker:

And I love how you say the

Speaker:

simplicity of it, right?

Speaker:

The simplicity of these

Speaker:

things that we do is we

Speaker:

learn these modalities,

Speaker:

but you are compelled not

Speaker:

to just learn them for yourself.

Speaker:

Like there's there's this is

Speaker:

part of who you are and

Speaker:

what you do for others now.

Speaker:

and exploring consciousness and,

Speaker:

and getting people to, you know,

Speaker:

love who they are inside and,

Speaker:

and having this,

Speaker:

this space of like helping

Speaker:

them through that process in their lives,

Speaker:

you know,

Speaker:

coaching and life coaching and

Speaker:

moving people through,

Speaker:

through meditation.

Speaker:

I heard sound healing.

Speaker:

I want to dive into these things because,

Speaker:

um, and,

Speaker:

and because this shows all about

Speaker:

ancient wisdom meets modern science,

Speaker:

right we know that people in

Speaker:

the ancients have owned and

Speaker:

and and meditation and and

Speaker:

all of these concepts for

Speaker:

years and years and we're

Speaker:

catching up now where the

Speaker:

science is irrefutable our

Speaker:

I call it the west world

Speaker:

brain but our intellect has

Speaker:

yes really gotten to the

Speaker:

place of you know this is

Speaker:

this isn't just like what

Speaker:

what what our western world

Speaker:

would say like this isn't

Speaker:

just woo anymore like this

Speaker:

is the science of it

Speaker:

there's neuroscience to

Speaker:

this there's there's

Speaker:

there's trauma healing that

Speaker:

can happen when we adopt these practices.

Speaker:

So tell us a little bit, you know,

Speaker:

like this journey that

Speaker:

you've gone through and

Speaker:

then starting to develop,

Speaker:

let's call it your skillset now is like,

Speaker:

you know,

Speaker:

you're working with sound healing.

Speaker:

Now, like you said, you're working with,

Speaker:

you're coaching people one-on-one,

Speaker:

you have an online presence,

Speaker:

you have an in-person presence and,

Speaker:

and you're like me, um,

Speaker:

Your life is pretty busy.

Speaker:

You got six children.

Speaker:

That's like a basketball

Speaker:

team plus a reserve.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

That's a lot.

Speaker:

And then you work with your

Speaker:

wife like hand in hand,

Speaker:

not just like family and relationships,

Speaker:

but with your work.

Speaker:

And that that's very can be

Speaker:

very challenging.

Speaker:

So, yeah.

Speaker:

it certainly is challenging

Speaker:

and I think sometimes I

Speaker:

have to uh to pinch myself

Speaker:

as I think we all do to

Speaker:

sort of on one hand remind

Speaker:

ourselves of the blessings

Speaker:

that we have in the

Speaker:

architecture of our life

Speaker:

And also,

Speaker:

employ a healthy dose of self

Speaker:

compassion when you kind of

Speaker:

browbeat yourself or you

Speaker:

feel you're not doing as good as you can,

Speaker:

because there is definitely

Speaker:

a load there that has to

Speaker:

come into consideration

Speaker:

with how I manage my own self and being,

Speaker:

you know, as an individual,

Speaker:

but very much as a man in

Speaker:

modern day culture within a

Speaker:

relationship as a father,

Speaker:

as a business owner,

Speaker:

all these different things.

Speaker:

I think

Speaker:

The very thing that I use, teach,

Speaker:

and I've always been

Speaker:

curious about is this

Speaker:

undeniable sense of self

Speaker:

from which we can draw power.

Speaker:

So for example,

Speaker:

if you say to yourself

Speaker:

simply in your head, hippopotamus,

Speaker:

You know, there's two parts there, right?

Speaker:

There's the part that says

Speaker:

hippopotamus and there's

Speaker:

the part that hears you

Speaker:

saying hippopotamus.

Speaker:

And this interplay between

Speaker:

who is who and how through

Speaker:

different practices we can

Speaker:

take deeper and deeper and

Speaker:

deeper dives into the part

Speaker:

of us that listens has been

Speaker:

something which has served

Speaker:

me time and time and time again.

Speaker:

And I think as my practice has evolved,

Speaker:

as my sphere of

Speaker:

responsibility has evolved as well,

Speaker:

if I were to approach it in

Speaker:

a very logical and linear way,

Speaker:

there would be no way that

Speaker:

I could organize all of the parts,

Speaker:

all of the mechanics.

Speaker:

So I've had to almost tap

Speaker:

out and surrender at

Speaker:

certain points to the idea of myself.

Speaker:

And it's very fractally

Speaker:

evolving in that sense

Speaker:

because you're constantly

Speaker:

getting to grow.

Speaker:

The thing that I was always drawn to,

Speaker:

science for when I was

Speaker:

younger you know that sort

Speaker:

of Jules Verne late

Speaker:

eighteenth century early

Speaker:

nineteenth century ethic of

Speaker:

science was all about

Speaker:

discovery and curiosity

Speaker:

understanding and

Speaker:

surrendering that there's

Speaker:

always going to be

Speaker:

known unknowns and unknown

Speaker:

unknowns about yourself.

Speaker:

So this is why practices of

Speaker:

meditation have always

Speaker:

served me very well and why

Speaker:

I see them serve my clients

Speaker:

so well is because you're

Speaker:

getting back in touch with this kind of

Speaker:

wanderlust-fueled part of

Speaker:

your being that really

Speaker:

embraces the unknown,

Speaker:

the growing edge and the

Speaker:

curiosity instead of kind

Speaker:

of being afraid of it or

Speaker:

compressed by that element

Speaker:

of your nature.

Speaker:

Josh,

Speaker:

if I thought about all the different

Speaker:

elements and coordinates of

Speaker:

my life and if I was open

Speaker:

to help and guidance and reminders,

Speaker:

I wouldn't have much done

Speaker:

and I wouldn't have much creative fun.

Speaker:

That's definitely the thing

Speaker:

that I've learned the most

Speaker:

over the years.

Speaker:

Yeah, I love that.

Speaker:

It's funny how these

Speaker:

conversations have

Speaker:

synchronicities in life and stuff,

Speaker:

because I'm in a big

Speaker:

transition in my

Speaker:

professional and personal career.

Speaker:

We're really moving into

Speaker:

these depths of going all

Speaker:

in on wellness and

Speaker:

functional health and moving the needle.

Speaker:

And there's a lot of unknown.

Speaker:

And I love embracing the unknown.

Speaker:

I've learned this process

Speaker:

through my own meditation

Speaker:

practice and learning

Speaker:

and teachings from, you know,

Speaker:

you talked about surrender

Speaker:

and embracing these unknowns.

Speaker:

And I loved how you said, like,

Speaker:

there's some known unknowns

Speaker:

and then there's some unknown unknowns,

Speaker:

you know,

Speaker:

and that's beautiful because- Yeah,

Speaker:

those are the spiky ones.

Speaker:

Yeah,

Speaker:

and we aren't in this linear world

Speaker:

anymore.

Speaker:

People know this, right?

Speaker:

We are in this space of

Speaker:

embracing like what, instead of change,

Speaker:

it's evolution, it's expansion, right?

Speaker:

We're expanding, ever expanding,

Speaker:

just like our universe and

Speaker:

our consciousness is, but our world,

Speaker:

like just our world that

Speaker:

we're living in in our present moment,

Speaker:

our world.

Speaker:

And I love, you touched a little bit on

Speaker:

who's in there right who am

Speaker:

I the observer or you know

Speaker:

the subject or the object

Speaker:

and michael singer talks a

Speaker:

lot about that in his book

Speaker:

you know the surrender

Speaker:

experiment and that was one

Speaker:

thing I did this summer was

Speaker:

you know completely surrendering to

Speaker:

the resonance of what I felt

Speaker:

was in alignment with me.

Speaker:

And I just kept saying yes

Speaker:

to those and saying no to

Speaker:

the things that weren't.

Speaker:

And as I do that,

Speaker:

I always see these

Speaker:

breadcrumbs and

Speaker:

synchronicities just start dropping.

Speaker:

Like, hey, you're on the right path.

Speaker:

You're on the right path.

Speaker:

You're on the right path.

Speaker:

And I think I want you to

Speaker:

talk a little bit about

Speaker:

that component of

Speaker:

surrendering to the moment,

Speaker:

surrendering to these things.

Speaker:

Because I think people think

Speaker:

almost sometimes that word surrender,

Speaker:

if you said that to a veteran,

Speaker:

they're going to be like, heck no,

Speaker:

we are never going to surrender.

Speaker:

They have to think about it

Speaker:

in a different way.

Speaker:

But let's talk a little bit

Speaker:

about exploring this inner

Speaker:

world and moving in the moment.

Speaker:

Because I think

Speaker:

we're all understanding that

Speaker:

this world is changing very rapidly.

Speaker:

We've got AI, we've got consciousness,

Speaker:

we've got quantum.

Speaker:

you know,

Speaker:

physics and quantum health and

Speaker:

things are moving in a very

Speaker:

expansive way.

Speaker:

And I think it can be a

Speaker:

little bit daunting at times.

Speaker:

And I think when you teach

Speaker:

the people that you're

Speaker:

teaching and coaching,

Speaker:

you're really helping them, you know,

Speaker:

when we call it surrender,

Speaker:

it's like we're opening and

Speaker:

unfolding into the moment that is.

Speaker:

and talking to them about,

Speaker:

I love where you say you

Speaker:

help them find peace in the

Speaker:

midst of the chaos, right?

Speaker:

That's what I think we're

Speaker:

really helping people with

Speaker:

in this space of mental

Speaker:

awareness and mental health

Speaker:

and challenges.

Speaker:

And I want to talk to people

Speaker:

a little bit about some of

Speaker:

your methods and what

Speaker:

you're doing to help them

Speaker:

through their process.

Speaker:

Yeah, sure.

Speaker:

I think it's the marriage of

Speaker:

that quantum awareness with

Speaker:

somatic experience.

Speaker:

So there's all sorts of

Speaker:

different ways you can trigger that.

Speaker:

And in fact,

Speaker:

that's primarily what me and

Speaker:

my wife work with in different ways,

Speaker:

but it's the same

Speaker:

understanding and modality that's

Speaker:

modality that we kind of

Speaker:

develop called quantum

Speaker:

somatic healing where

Speaker:

somebody is getting a felt

Speaker:

sense of their non-linear

Speaker:

awareness and I suppose

Speaker:

also really better put

Speaker:

their non-linear influence

Speaker:

so surrender is kind of

Speaker:

misinterpreted sometimes as

Speaker:

a massive process it's

Speaker:

actually a very active

Speaker:

process you gave the

Speaker:

example of a veteran now

Speaker:

there's all sorts of

Speaker:

examples within combat and

Speaker:

martial arts and

Speaker:

military life of being in

Speaker:

active flow states so one

Speaker:

of the things that I do

Speaker:

with people is to help them

Speaker:

because quite often people

Speaker:

coming from that west world

Speaker:

brain where you're talking

Speaker:

they have to make an enemy

Speaker:

of what they've been and

Speaker:

differentiate to become

Speaker:

something else now I'm not

Speaker:

criticizing that you see

Speaker:

that process say through

Speaker:

addiction recovery where

Speaker:

somebody says I was an

Speaker:

addict and now I don't want

Speaker:

to be they have to create

Speaker:

that contrast to make that bridge

Speaker:

but much like addiction

Speaker:

recovery we want to also

Speaker:

encompass all of your being

Speaker:

all of your experience so

Speaker:

quite often people will

Speaker:

come with a spiritual

Speaker:

inclination or spiritual

Speaker:

ambitions to have a more

Speaker:

peaceful life or a more

Speaker:

connected awareness they've

Speaker:

had little easter eggs

Speaker:

cookie crumbs like you

Speaker:

mentioned throughout their

Speaker:

life and they think they

Speaker:

kind of have to completely

Speaker:

reinvent the wheel

Speaker:

But I don't think that you do.

Speaker:

I think it's about really

Speaker:

cross-pollinating the skill

Speaker:

set that you've built up

Speaker:

through your life.

Speaker:

Invariably,

Speaker:

we all look back at different

Speaker:

points of our life and think, oh,

Speaker:

I was off path there.

Speaker:

We get a little bit older and we realize,

Speaker:

oh, no, even when things were terrible,

Speaker:

I was on path.

Speaker:

I'll give you an example,

Speaker:

which has struck me by surprise.

Speaker:

I remember being thirteen in

Speaker:

school with a book of short

Speaker:

stories by Roald Dahl.

Speaker:

And I was reading completely

Speaker:

the wrong story that we

Speaker:

were supposed to be reading.

Speaker:

The story that I was reading

Speaker:

was about this character

Speaker:

called Henry Sugar,

Speaker:

who was in this story a gambler,

Speaker:

horrible man.

Speaker:

He falls into this library

Speaker:

at this country home.

Speaker:

He finds this small pamphlet,

Speaker:

which is all about an

Speaker:

Indian doctor's account of

Speaker:

a man who could see without

Speaker:

using his eyes.

Speaker:

He reads this book,

Speaker:

gets all of the information,

Speaker:

all of the practise and the meditation.

Speaker:

His goal and his ambition is

Speaker:

to learn to be able to do

Speaker:

this trick and obviously read cards,

Speaker:

make loads of money.

Speaker:

He spends, I think,

Speaker:

four or five years doing this technique.

Speaker:

And I remember plain as day

Speaker:

being thirteen years old,

Speaker:

reading this line that he

Speaker:

realized after his first

Speaker:

win that the process of

Speaker:

meditation that he'd gone

Speaker:

through had completely

Speaker:

changed his value set.

Speaker:

And in the story,

Speaker:

he then goes on to use this

Speaker:

technique to set up a trust

Speaker:

for orphanages and

Speaker:

hospitals for children.

Speaker:

I recently saw a film that

Speaker:

was made of this story.

Speaker:

And I remember clear as day

Speaker:

being thirteen years old,

Speaker:

reading that book,

Speaker:

feeling my whole body

Speaker:

expand as I was soaking in this story,

Speaker:

looking around my classroom

Speaker:

and thinking this,

Speaker:

this is what I want to learn about.

Speaker:

When I was watching the film,

Speaker:

only last week this was,

Speaker:

I could feel my whole body

Speaker:

expand into that awareness.

Speaker:

And it's like creating a

Speaker:

quantum thread with that moment.

Speaker:

I haven't grown through time.

Speaker:

I am growing in time.

Speaker:

And the way that I teach meditation,

Speaker:

and especially,

Speaker:

I think there's a bit of a...

Speaker:

You know, in all the Abrahamic religions,

Speaker:

there's a bit of a hangover

Speaker:

in all of our collective

Speaker:

unconsciousness about

Speaker:

making feeling and desire sinful.

Speaker:

Now, biologically,

Speaker:

that doesn't work because

Speaker:

these sort of reconnections

Speaker:

through this quantum

Speaker:

expansion actually enrich

Speaker:

your immune system.

Speaker:

They enrich your protein profile.

Speaker:

They restore you hormonally.

Speaker:

And it's all about not

Speaker:

making war with yourself.

Speaker:

You can imagine somebody

Speaker:

who's not at war with their own feeling,

Speaker:

not at war with their own desire,

Speaker:

is a lot less likely to be

Speaker:

at war with somebody else.

Speaker:

So in terms of all of that

Speaker:

being a personal process, great.

Speaker:

I work one-on-one with people all day long,

Speaker:

my content.

Speaker:

My hope and my aim and also

Speaker:

my desire for myself is

Speaker:

that a lot of these

Speaker:

processes that I see in myself,

Speaker:

that I see in others,

Speaker:

We're all fumbling in the

Speaker:

dark a bit because there

Speaker:

isn't a culture that we've

Speaker:

been brought up in to hold

Speaker:

us where we get to

Speaker:

complement each other's psychology,

Speaker:

each other's skill set in a

Speaker:

way that builds a

Speaker:

foundation that these beliefs,

Speaker:

these understandings,

Speaker:

these knowings about the world become

Speaker:

you know,

Speaker:

they just become unmovable

Speaker:

because they're cultural,

Speaker:

they're habitual.

Speaker:

So I do feel for as lovely

Speaker:

as everything I just said,

Speaker:

and it's almost a very

Speaker:

special time because change

Speaker:

is so massive on the meta

Speaker:

that it really requires us

Speaker:

in our own micro universes

Speaker:

to really be that change.

Speaker:

That's the only way that

Speaker:

it's going to work.

Speaker:

If we want this culture,

Speaker:

like you're doing with your

Speaker:

work beyond the pills,

Speaker:

we do actually have to create it.

Speaker:

And also with coming full

Speaker:

circle back to surrender culture,

Speaker:

not being a passive process

Speaker:

but actually being an

Speaker:

active one where you're

Speaker:

listening basically you're

Speaker:

listening and you're

Speaker:

responding and you're

Speaker:

really freeing up I hate to

Speaker:

sort of use the phrase

Speaker:

clearing trauma because

Speaker:

that's not how I quite look

Speaker:

at it I suppose but in

Speaker:

experiencing and

Speaker:

re-experiencing places in

Speaker:

your body and your emotions

Speaker:

and your energy field that

Speaker:

are kind of on lock because

Speaker:

then maybe there wasn't the

Speaker:

safety maybe it wasn't the right time by

Speaker:

Reconnecting yourself to

Speaker:

your own power source,

Speaker:

you get to be able to have

Speaker:

a system of physiology that

Speaker:

is sensitive to the level

Speaker:

of input that is going on.

Speaker:

It's quite common for

Speaker:

somebody to go for a massage.

Speaker:

no shoulder pain,

Speaker:

come out of the massage

Speaker:

with shoulder pain.

Speaker:

And they're like, oh, that didn't help.

Speaker:

And it's like, well,

Speaker:

you were probably mitigating,

Speaker:

your nervous system was

Speaker:

mitigating that pain for

Speaker:

that long that you've

Speaker:

actually just come in and

Speaker:

cleared certain pathways

Speaker:

for you to feel it and be aware of it.

Speaker:

And it's very much the same

Speaker:

with some of the work that I do.

Speaker:

It is nonlinear.

Speaker:

All of a sudden people see, you know,

Speaker:

very much quantum leaps in their health.

Speaker:

You know, the things that I've,

Speaker:

You know, I've had people,

Speaker:

one woman hadn't been for a wee, you know,

Speaker:

like to pass water to

Speaker:

urinate for twenty years

Speaker:

and after a session she was

Speaker:

just able to urinate and

Speaker:

it's because it's not

Speaker:

actually that miraculous.

Speaker:

It's a bit like life,

Speaker:

like life is really common

Speaker:

when you look out of your window.

Speaker:

It doesn't make it any less

Speaker:

special and it's exactly

Speaker:

the same when it comes to

Speaker:

your body's capacity to

Speaker:

heal because it's always

Speaker:

Like mycelium,

Speaker:

it's always trying to hyphenate.

Speaker:

It's always trying to connect up the dots.

Speaker:

And this is the same process

Speaker:

as you see on a sort of

Speaker:

neurological level,

Speaker:

as we've also experienced through time.

Speaker:

So me kind of catching back

Speaker:

up with my thirteen year old self,

Speaker:

the level of curiosity,

Speaker:

the level of expansion,

Speaker:

the level of knowing, oh, my God,

Speaker:

this is like this is some

Speaker:

sort of fire with inside me.

Speaker:

This is how I work with people.

Speaker:

Say, for example,

Speaker:

somebody comes from a corporate scenario,

Speaker:

then they want to do their

Speaker:

own creative passion

Speaker:

project to become self-employed.

Speaker:

They often think that they

Speaker:

have to sort of shelf all

Speaker:

of the skill set that they've learned.

Speaker:

And I'm like, well,

Speaker:

you're able to meet deadlines.

Speaker:

You're able to communicate

Speaker:

with people in terms of different teams.

Speaker:

You're able to talk to

Speaker:

people from all different

Speaker:

backgrounds and lifestyles.

Speaker:

let's take all of that good

Speaker:

stuff with us so it's it's

Speaker:

all good it's all very very

Speaker:

good stuff the same with

Speaker:

people who've been in

Speaker:

abusive relationships or

Speaker:

even some of the most

Speaker:

traumatic experience that

Speaker:

you could possibly imagine

Speaker:

you know I am consistently

Speaker:

blown away you know one of my um

Speaker:

sort of specialities,

Speaker:

not by direct intention,

Speaker:

but being guided there is

Speaker:

working with people who

Speaker:

have experienced like quite

Speaker:

severe levels of sexual

Speaker:

abuse of all different types.

Speaker:

To see people who've gone

Speaker:

through those experiences, love,

Speaker:

even have the audacity and

Speaker:

the bravery to love,

Speaker:

and then go on to find

Speaker:

healthy and successful relationships.

Speaker:

It's just really testament

Speaker:

to just how your body is

Speaker:

always looking to orientate with the now,

Speaker:

with the present moment.

Speaker:

And I think by closing your eyes,

Speaker:

going into yourself, meditation,

Speaker:

heart-brain coherence,

Speaker:

all these different things,

Speaker:

they're all fantastic.

Speaker:

But I think the most

Speaker:

powerful element is the

Speaker:

meta identity that starts to

Speaker:

build is you incrementally

Speaker:

show up for yourself and

Speaker:

identify with that observer

Speaker:

with that part that he is

Speaker:

because if someone busts in

Speaker:

the room now and shouts at

Speaker:

me I'm not going to be

Speaker:

afraid of that if I just

Speaker:

thought I was my bones and

Speaker:

it does have like a very

Speaker:

profound impact on the way that we

Speaker:

seek opportunity and manage

Speaker:

risk within our daily lives.

Speaker:

And I think that's an

Speaker:

important part that's often

Speaker:

forgotten when we approach

Speaker:

spirituality and energetic

Speaker:

health from a very kind of

Speaker:

oh it's just a woo-woo kind

Speaker:

of thing because something

Speaker:

that really brought me into

Speaker:

this world just like

Speaker:

reading that as a

Speaker:

thirteen-year-old kid is

Speaker:

all of the anomalous stuff

Speaker:

you hear like I remember

Speaker:

when I was even younger

Speaker:

watching a program on some

Speaker:

late night documentary

Speaker:

about remote viewing and I

Speaker:

was like well the police

Speaker:

are using remote viewers so

Speaker:

it obviously works or

Speaker:

In agriculture here,

Speaker:

I don't know if it's the same in the US,

Speaker:

there's a tradition of

Speaker:

dowsing where somebody

Speaker:

holds two metal rods,

Speaker:

a bit like coat hangers,

Speaker:

and they walk to see where to find water.

Speaker:

Every farmer here in the UK still...

Speaker:

before the local dowser to

Speaker:

find the water because it's

Speaker:

the easiest way, right?

Speaker:

Before radar or all these

Speaker:

different things.

Speaker:

So I love anomalies.

Speaker:

I absolutely love anomalies

Speaker:

because they point to

Speaker:

hidden places where your

Speaker:

own perceptual field is bias, right?

Speaker:

And I think it's great to

Speaker:

have your biases challenged

Speaker:

on a daily basis.

Speaker:

Yeah, there's so much in there.

Speaker:

I love to talk about that.

Speaker:

No, it's good.

Speaker:

It's good.

Speaker:

Cause I've like, there's so much to like,

Speaker:

I don't want to call it unpack,

Speaker:

but like we there's, I love that.

Speaker:

You said the stroke, first of all,

Speaker:

the story about like

Speaker:

remembering the story you

Speaker:

read as a child at and

Speaker:

going and having that moment,

Speaker:

like that intertwined moment where

Speaker:

You're like, I think it was like that just,

Speaker:

it was a whiff then, right?

Speaker:

It was like,

Speaker:

I think this was something I want to do.

Speaker:

And then what I call full circle, right?

Speaker:

You've gone all the way through your life.

Speaker:

You've developed this whole process.

Speaker:

It actually happened.

Speaker:

And then you happen stance,

Speaker:

let's call it that.

Speaker:

But like it was divine

Speaker:

intervention in this movie

Speaker:

just totally came into your

Speaker:

awareness now.

Speaker:

And then.

Speaker:

It brings me to the point of

Speaker:

divine timing versus what

Speaker:

we perceive as timing, right?

Speaker:

You talked about the quantum

Speaker:

intertwining of that moment

Speaker:

versus this and how we're living in time,

Speaker:

past, present, and future, right?

Speaker:

We're understanding this

Speaker:

more from a scientific level now.

Speaker:

But like you said, even with the farmers,

Speaker:

there's just some things

Speaker:

that have been sort of,

Speaker:

I call it ancient wisdom, right?

Speaker:

where we didn't need all the

Speaker:

science to make sense of it.

Speaker:

It just is.

Speaker:

And this beauty of like the

Speaker:

timing of where we think

Speaker:

like something is supposed

Speaker:

to be the way it's supposed to be.

Speaker:

But then if we allow,

Speaker:

because one of my mantras

Speaker:

is from one of my spiritual

Speaker:

friends and mentors is like, push less,

Speaker:

allow more.

Speaker:

and when we allow it's like

Speaker:

and then I I get these

Speaker:

periods of awe right this

Speaker:

awe that like holy holy

Speaker:

moly that just happened and

Speaker:

it for me it's it doesn't

Speaker:

the surprise doesn't come

Speaker:

anymore because I'm so

Speaker:

connected to knowing that

Speaker:

there's there's this divine

Speaker:

greater good that if we

Speaker:

trust and allow it does

Speaker:

start to appear but it will

Speaker:

always come in a way that

Speaker:

we least expect it which is

Speaker:

why I know it works

Speaker:

And,

Speaker:

and you have this beautiful moment

Speaker:

with yourself that says like,

Speaker:

it's a full circle from age,

Speaker:

and you're just like this.

Speaker:

It's like that validation came.

Speaker:

I'll give you a couple

Speaker:

examples just in recent times,

Speaker:

like where I went on my sabbatical and I,

Speaker:

you know, I,

Speaker:

I dropped everything and I

Speaker:

moved to Asheville and I

Speaker:

was doing some things to

Speaker:

prepare myself for Peru and my journey.

Speaker:

And things that I had

Speaker:

accumulated that didn't

Speaker:

really have like a true

Speaker:

sense or meaning or feel

Speaker:

like automatically just came into play.

Speaker:

It was just like, Oh,

Speaker:

even the little things like

Speaker:

that chair or that table

Speaker:

just happened to fit

Speaker:

perfectly where I was there.

Speaker:

But it had been something

Speaker:

that I had had and hadn't

Speaker:

really used for like years.

Speaker:

And it just started falling

Speaker:

into this beautiful,

Speaker:

I would call it like the five D puzzle,

Speaker:

right?

Speaker:

It's like,

Speaker:

oh, that one worked, that one worked.

Speaker:

And all of a sudden it's just like,

Speaker:

I think when you start to

Speaker:

become aware and you're

Speaker:

starting to be that observer,

Speaker:

like you said,

Speaker:

It starts popping up so much

Speaker:

more frequently because

Speaker:

you're so much more receptive to it, too.

Speaker:

You know, that's how I feel.

Speaker:

Like,

Speaker:

I feel like it's not like it's

Speaker:

happening more to me.

Speaker:

It's there's there's a

Speaker:

connection now that I have

Speaker:

with the world that maybe I

Speaker:

hadn't had before because

Speaker:

maybe I'm more open to it.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

I'm moving in that direction

Speaker:

of being open to that world.

Speaker:

know fractal you know this

Speaker:

this new environment that's

Speaker:

coming and I just love how

Speaker:

the synchronicities start

Speaker:

to happen in those ways

Speaker:

when people are aligned

Speaker:

when they're aligned with

Speaker:

their inner self and so

Speaker:

talk to people a little bit

Speaker:

about you know how do they

Speaker:

how people you work you

Speaker:

said you work with people

Speaker:

online and you work with

Speaker:

people in person and you

Speaker:

have some content um

Speaker:

I've done a couple of your

Speaker:

meditations online.

Speaker:

I think they're awesome because it's,

Speaker:

you gift that it's,

Speaker:

you go right onto your

Speaker:

website and you can click and hit,

Speaker:

you can listen to these

Speaker:

beautiful meditations to reset and to,

Speaker:

to move forward.

Speaker:

So I really,

Speaker:

I was really appreciative of

Speaker:

that because a lot of the

Speaker:

times people don't know how

Speaker:

to get started or what to do here.

Speaker:

Cause there's a lot of

Speaker:

people that are struggling right now.

Speaker:

And,

Speaker:

I don't think we need to

Speaker:

just sit in the chaos and struggle.

Speaker:

I think a lot of people just in general,

Speaker:

it's not bad or good.

Speaker:

It's human nature is we try

Speaker:

to like repel from the

Speaker:

things we don't feel are good.

Speaker:

And we try to like cling to

Speaker:

the things that we feel good with.

Speaker:

And sometimes we're like, oh,

Speaker:

it's so chaotic and the

Speaker:

world stinks and everything's wrong.

Speaker:

And it's like we can embrace that.

Speaker:

not because it's good or bad,

Speaker:

but because it is, like you said,

Speaker:

in the present moment.

Speaker:

And so I still want people

Speaker:

to get some things that

Speaker:

they can do to not adapt or

Speaker:

be resilient to, but just like you said,

Speaker:

it's find peace in the chaos.

Speaker:

Yeah, definitely.

Speaker:

I think the thing that's

Speaker:

really helped me professionally,

Speaker:

the reason why I've been

Speaker:

doing this like nearly for a decade,

Speaker:

is because of being able to

Speaker:

to offer free content so

Speaker:

you know obviously I do

Speaker:

that through my website

Speaker:

there's also another great

Speaker:

app that I'd like to point

Speaker:

people towards called

Speaker:

insight timer so I have a

Speaker:

profile on there you know I

Speaker:

think there's something like

Speaker:

Yeah,

Speaker:

I think that's something like three

Speaker:

or four million listens to my meditations,

Speaker:

which just lights me up on

Speaker:

that because it means that

Speaker:

so many people had an

Speaker:

experience of themselves.

Speaker:

The reason why the free

Speaker:

content has been so great

Speaker:

for me personally is that

Speaker:

it gives me a barometer of

Speaker:

the effect and the

Speaker:

influence that my work has had.

Speaker:

You know, I obviously work for people.

Speaker:

So how I work usually online

Speaker:

or in person is

Speaker:

a one-off session,

Speaker:

because that is maybe what

Speaker:

a person needs at that time,

Speaker:

or maybe it's all they can

Speaker:

afford of my time.

Speaker:

And I respect to be able to

Speaker:

offer that opportunity

Speaker:

because with that comes a

Speaker:

night in my session, my full attention,

Speaker:

a complete onboarding process,

Speaker:

and then a sort of curated

Speaker:

prescription of you.

Speaker:

Like it could be meditations of mine,

Speaker:

different documentaries

Speaker:

that spring to mind.

Speaker:

My list and bank of

Speaker:

resources is just hours and

Speaker:

hours and hours long

Speaker:

because I really like,

Speaker:

into people's world, what music they like.

Speaker:

They may have danced when

Speaker:

they were younger or they

Speaker:

might have done model making.

Speaker:

And it's all about pointing

Speaker:

them to these things to

Speaker:

sort of bring that quantum

Speaker:

connection they feel in the

Speaker:

session and the guided

Speaker:

meditations and energy

Speaker:

healing aspect into their

Speaker:

real world practice.

Speaker:

And then other people,

Speaker:

They work with me for twelve

Speaker:

sessions and they sort of

Speaker:

space that as they wish.

Speaker:

I have people who've worked

Speaker:

with me for years and I've

Speaker:

taken them through all

Speaker:

sorts of transitions in their life,

Speaker:

their career.

Speaker:

It is really quite amazing.

Speaker:

But.

Speaker:

The free content,

Speaker:

when I get a message from

Speaker:

somebody who says, hey,

Speaker:

I've been doing your free

Speaker:

meditation series for three

Speaker:

months and it's completely

Speaker:

changed my life.

Speaker:

I've changed my job.

Speaker:

I just want to say thank you.

Speaker:

I am like blown away because

Speaker:

the way that I record my

Speaker:

content just to give people an insight,

Speaker:

which I've come to learn is

Speaker:

very uncommon and unique,

Speaker:

is that I just sit down.

Speaker:

I just sit down and I do it ad hoc.

Speaker:

There's no script.

Speaker:

I just empty myself out completely.

Speaker:

And I guess you could say

Speaker:

I'm almost quantumly

Speaker:

connecting with the desire

Speaker:

of people who want a track from me,

Speaker:

but also finding the sort

Speaker:

of five D puzzle.

Speaker:

I love that phrase because

Speaker:

that's how I view it too,

Speaker:

where I just get to

Speaker:

experience by proxy something

Speaker:

some amalgamation of that

Speaker:

transformation that's going

Speaker:

to come for people from

Speaker:

that meditation so making a

Speaker:

meditation that then goes

Speaker:

on to impact hundreds of

Speaker:

thousands of people is just

Speaker:

I mean it blows my head if

Speaker:

you told that to that

Speaker:

thirteen year old kid

Speaker:

reading that story I would

Speaker:

have been completely blown

Speaker:

away but what I love about it is that

Speaker:

There's people in C-suite positions, CEOs,

Speaker:

marketing directors.

Speaker:

There's housewives in the

Speaker:

back end of Alabama who've

Speaker:

never really had any

Speaker:

experience of meditation whatsoever.

Speaker:

And they find the strength

Speaker:

to leave their abusive

Speaker:

partner and take their

Speaker:

family to another state.

Speaker:

there's young kids who maybe

Speaker:

don't have that support or

Speaker:

that application at home

Speaker:

and then they go off and

Speaker:

finish that application to

Speaker:

art college or maybe it's

Speaker:

just a stop gap for

Speaker:

somebody on their lunch

Speaker:

break and maybe that

Speaker:

meditation this is the way

Speaker:

that I like to think about

Speaker:

it puts them in a good mood

Speaker:

puts them in a good way and

Speaker:

they meet that person they

Speaker:

might not ever make that connection

Speaker:

But as emotionally connected

Speaker:

and quantumly involved my

Speaker:

work is in that sense,

Speaker:

there is also this mechanical aspect,

Speaker:

like an architect,

Speaker:

that I'm bringing to it too,

Speaker:

where I'm seeing these

Speaker:

pings and these resonances

Speaker:

and these ripples creating,

Speaker:

almost like in the backend

Speaker:

code of people's psychology and reality,

Speaker:

a positive force.

Speaker:

The most important thing to me

Speaker:

But anybody that works with

Speaker:

me or anybody who meets me,

Speaker:

if they have some sort of

Speaker:

experience of themselves,

Speaker:

is that they go and they

Speaker:

say to themselves and are able to say,

Speaker:

I did that,

Speaker:

that they did that for themselves.

Speaker:

Not that I did it,

Speaker:

not that the meditation did it,

Speaker:

not that the breath work or the technique,

Speaker:

but they did it.

Speaker:

Because as soon as they can

Speaker:

self-identify with that,

Speaker:

we're crumbling all sorts

Speaker:

of mental matrices about

Speaker:

putting things on pedestals.

Speaker:

know bringing it back to

Speaker:

ancient wisdom like you

Speaker:

said I think there's a

Speaker:

quantum leap in somebody's

Speaker:

life when they really start

Speaker:

to recognize they're more

Speaker:

than just their physical

Speaker:

form and then there's

Speaker:

another which is really

Speaker:

reflected in ancient

Speaker:

traditions where they start

Speaker:

to become visible in that

Speaker:

way of being visible in

Speaker:

that lifestyle visible in

Speaker:

that view of themselves and

Speaker:

then they start to celebrate it

Speaker:

they start to talk about it

Speaker:

doesn't necessarily have to

Speaker:

be in a scientific or a

Speaker:

spiritual vocabulary I see

Speaker:

older people going into the

Speaker:

community gardens here in

Speaker:

the uk coming out with

Speaker:

their squashes and their

Speaker:

courgettes so later than

Speaker:

evening in the summer

Speaker:

sunshine I look at their

Speaker:

faces and I'm like yeah you

Speaker:

know it you know it you're

Speaker:

like living and breathing it so

Speaker:

For me, I just love the mixture of people,

Speaker:

diverse backgrounds,

Speaker:

diverse cultures that are

Speaker:

just attracted to my work.

Speaker:

It's just such a such a blessing.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

And I think that's the universality of it.

Speaker:

I think sometimes we get into these like,

Speaker:

you know,

Speaker:

who's your ideal client and like

Speaker:

these specifics behind it.

Speaker:

And it's like.

Speaker:

wholeness like being

Speaker:

connected to something

Speaker:

greater than you and being

Speaker:

in this purpose driven life

Speaker:

like in an experiencing

Speaker:

life in these senses and

Speaker:

being these divine beings

Speaker:

in a human existence is

Speaker:

free and available to every

Speaker:

single human on the planet

Speaker:

that's what we get to do

Speaker:

and I love that you're

Speaker:

you're acting as this guide you know um

Speaker:

You know,

Speaker:

I don't like the word coach

Speaker:

anymore because it kind of

Speaker:

puts a different hierarchy into it.

Speaker:

It's like, you know, we're here to serve.

Speaker:

Like,

Speaker:

this is why you have this beautiful free,

Speaker:

you know, it's right on your website.

Speaker:

You know, what's your website, by the way,

Speaker:

just so people know?

Speaker:

It's just simply OliverJamesJenkin.com.

Speaker:

Perfect.

Speaker:

So OliverJamesJenkin.com.

Speaker:

I went on it earlier.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

did his meditations, like you said,

Speaker:

insight timer,

Speaker:

lots of people know what that is.

Speaker:

So now they can see you and

Speaker:

follow you in there.

Speaker:

And you and I both agree,

Speaker:

like we're here to offer

Speaker:

and if they want more,

Speaker:

they can come reach out to you,

Speaker:

you can do a session,

Speaker:

you can do a group like a package,

Speaker:

you can

Speaker:

You know,

Speaker:

you've got people that you've

Speaker:

helped for years.

Speaker:

Like I have people that I

Speaker:

have helped for years

Speaker:

because that's just it's in

Speaker:

resonance and they feel

Speaker:

they I always think it's

Speaker:

it's the value exchange.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

It's an energy exchange.

Speaker:

And so when people when

Speaker:

we're when we're able to

Speaker:

deliver more energetic value to people,

Speaker:

then.

Speaker:

the energy in the form of

Speaker:

currency or the firm of

Speaker:

time or the form like

Speaker:

there's different types of

Speaker:

energies exchange but when

Speaker:

we can contribute and be a

Speaker:

giver then the abundance

Speaker:

comes in return and I feel

Speaker:

like when people are

Speaker:

serving that's that's the

Speaker:

best way I feel like I I

Speaker:

don't ever like to sell

Speaker:

anything it's like I'm

Speaker:

offering and if it's if it

Speaker:

matches with us let's let's

Speaker:

work together right and so

Speaker:

I think you're doing

Speaker:

awesome some stuff because

Speaker:

you know, hundreds of like for me,

Speaker:

and it's the same thing.

Speaker:

It's like this podcast is

Speaker:

like my way of helping

Speaker:

people open their eyes, get a veil open,

Speaker:

open a door that they

Speaker:

didn't understand that they

Speaker:

might be because they might be stuck.

Speaker:

And the medical system is

Speaker:

just failing them.

Speaker:

And they're sick and tired

Speaker:

of feeling sick and tired.

Speaker:

And they might just grab an episode.

Speaker:

And it's like, oh,

Speaker:

I'm going to explore this

Speaker:

meditation or this sound

Speaker:

healing or this type of thing.

Speaker:

And

Speaker:

And for whatever reason,

Speaker:

I've had close to a couple

Speaker:

hundred thousand downloads.

Speaker:

And that's because it's just,

Speaker:

I'm so happy for that.

Speaker:

Not because I want followers

Speaker:

or it's going to make me money.

Speaker:

No, it's like, oh,

Speaker:

I'm doing such good work

Speaker:

because anybody can get

Speaker:

this and get value and

Speaker:

benefit to improving their life.

Speaker:

That's what I think why it's

Speaker:

such a match between the...

Speaker:

the guests that come on this

Speaker:

show is really in that alignment.

Speaker:

You're here to serve.

Speaker:

You're here to do well in the world.

Speaker:

I always say,

Speaker:

I just want to put a dent in the universe,

Speaker:

like just a little dent.

Speaker:

Like if I can do that and

Speaker:

like in a good way,

Speaker:

we're really doing well for

Speaker:

not only humanity,

Speaker:

but we're serving our own self by helping

Speaker:

others and so I'm own zone

Speaker:

like zones of genius to

Speaker:

help people in the way that

Speaker:

you do and how you do it

Speaker:

because it's actually not

Speaker:

that difficult when you

Speaker:

start working with somebody

Speaker:

or they start to under

Speaker:

understand that these

Speaker:

things are all innate

Speaker:

inside of them it's like we

Speaker:

don't I don't do anything

Speaker:

it's like we're just

Speaker:

they're doing the work

Speaker:

right this is where I think people

Speaker:

have that misconception

Speaker:

especially in this west

Speaker:

world brain of ours it's

Speaker:

like that person's gonna

Speaker:

fix me or that drug or that

Speaker:

thing is gonna fix me and

Speaker:

what I love working with

Speaker:

people in transformation

Speaker:

and healing is showing them

Speaker:

it's all in there it's all within them

Speaker:

And I think you really do

Speaker:

well with starting and

Speaker:

ending with that with people.

Speaker:

Because I think it's so

Speaker:

empowering when you sit

Speaker:

there and you're like, I did that, right?

Speaker:

It's not like something

Speaker:

happened on the outside world.

Speaker:

It's like we're all

Speaker:

available to do this within ourselves.

Speaker:

So amazing.

Speaker:

Thank you so much for all that stuff,

Speaker:

all you're doing.

Speaker:

go visit his website, go learn more.

Speaker:

You can get on, you know,

Speaker:

are you on Instagrams and

Speaker:

stuff like that?

Speaker:

Or is it really just your website?

Speaker:

I know Instagram and stuff as well.

Speaker:

And I'd say that a great

Speaker:

read on my website is the

Speaker:

section where it just

Speaker:

explains about my story,

Speaker:

where I kind of break it

Speaker:

down into different stages of my life.

Speaker:

So I think that one of the

Speaker:

things that people will

Speaker:

always find quite

Speaker:

interesting about me is,

Speaker:

how I can have different

Speaker:

elements of my life all

Speaker:

going at the same time,

Speaker:

especially I think there's

Speaker:

a lot of lonely people out there.

Speaker:

So my family life and my

Speaker:

connection with my wife

Speaker:

really speaks to people's

Speaker:

aspirations for that level

Speaker:

of support and connection

Speaker:

and realism and impact in

Speaker:

their everyday life.

Speaker:

And that's, that's beautiful.

Speaker:

Cause you know, you know,

Speaker:

that's why we're also on

Speaker:

this planet is to have these connections,

Speaker:

right?

Speaker:

These connections are not.

Speaker:

And then,

Speaker:

so that's using these as pillars for,

Speaker:

for,

Speaker:

health and healing is really

Speaker:

what the essence of where I

Speaker:

feel the golden age of,

Speaker:

of where we're going in

Speaker:

healthcare and humanity and

Speaker:

our consciousness is really, you know,

Speaker:

embracing these ideas so we

Speaker:

can actually move ourselves.

Speaker:

And by moving ourselves,

Speaker:

we can move the collective.

Speaker:

We can move humanity through

Speaker:

with our own change and how

Speaker:

we show up in the world.

Speaker:

So.

Speaker:

We could probably go on for

Speaker:

like another two hours.

Speaker:

We'll maybe go on another show.

Speaker:

Like this is just the beginning.

Speaker:

I love these chats.

Speaker:

This is amazing.

Speaker:

If you had to give people

Speaker:

one thing out of this conversation today,

Speaker:

what would it be?

Speaker:

that your senses are not

Speaker:

something to be afraid of.

Speaker:

The richness that is there

Speaker:

in your feeling really is worth unlocking,

Speaker:

whether that's a little bit

Speaker:

of fear or a whole heap of fear.

Speaker:

Really,

Speaker:

that is the one thing that I'd like

Speaker:

to translate to everybody.

Speaker:

The more connected you are to your senses,

Speaker:

the more real the world

Speaker:

becomes and the more real

Speaker:

you are to the world too.

Speaker:

That's beautiful and so true.

Speaker:

Thank you so much for coming on today.

Speaker:

I really appreciate your

Speaker:

time and energy and what

Speaker:

you're doing in the world.

Speaker:

I appreciate you.

Speaker:

Likewise.

Speaker:

Thank you.

Speaker:

All right, everybody.

Speaker:

That's a wrap.

Speaker:

Go see him on his website.

Speaker:

Go grab a meditation.

Speaker:

This was awesome.

Speaker:

Until next time, stay well.
