Okay, so we are on the line.
SPEAKER_00:Sunny day. Yeah. Beautiful sunny day. The sun is up, clocks have turned back. So the sun seems to be getting up earlier.
SPEAKER_03:It is. There was a beautiful cloud that I sent my mom, and it's just a gorgeous day.
SPEAKER_00:Audio is here. Wants to know what we're doing.
SPEAKER_03:She's thinking, what is this? Going live every morning. Well, yesterday we went live and it wasn't so much live. It wasn't so much live because no one could join and we didn't record it.
SPEAKER_00:Probably the best podcast ever.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, maybe until 45 minutes later we're going, oh shit. That's funny.
SPEAKER_00:So it works and doesn't work.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. So I think praying that it's recording. I see that it's recording, so let's help.
SPEAKER_00:Hoping that people have joined us.
SPEAKER_03:Yep.
SPEAKER_00:We got some new visits to the website yesterday, so that I mean something went out there.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. That's right. So today we're we're talking about I am I am statements.
SPEAKER_00:It's not like potatoes. That's the sweet potatoes.
SPEAKER_03:No, not yams. Not IM. It's too early. But the idea, well, I think we're both gonna come at it at different angles.
SPEAKER_00:So as we always do.
SPEAKER_03:As we always do. So today we're talking about IEM statements, but also looking at this idea of which I'm learning now more and more is this idea of how we have these personalities and uniqueness and who we see ourselves as in life. And then if we were to sort of strip all that away, who are we? And the fastest way that I get there in my mind is through this statement of I am. I am is a recognition that I exist. But maybe I am not these all these personality traits and everything that I like to call myself every day, right?
SPEAKER_00:Well, that's I think one of the first points to make is so much is going on subconsciously all the time. You wouldn't be able to function if it wasn't.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Right. And in the subconscious mind, uh there's there's kind of a formulation of your beingness. There's an identity, and that identity has dimensions and characteristics. It has a personality, which is a habitual kind of thing. I suppose there are dimensions of personality that seem or feel like they're really locked down. But there are also dimensions of your personality that you've just created over time. You know, I love that Chim Dispenza thought, you know, if you have an experience and you hang on to that experience. So let's say, you know, we'll start negative. You have a bad experience as a little kid with your mother, and you hang on to it, and every day your experience with your mother starts with that reference to her and that particular moment in your life that didn't go so well, and your interpretation of that, and so you start to project that onto your mother and say, This is who she is, and then you accept that mirror back as this is who I am, and then every day it starts to start with the same thoughts, every day it starts to start with the same dispositions, um, and then it starts to become a generalized mood. And when that generalized mood starts to become really locked in, it becomes a life attitude, and when those life attitudes get really locked in, they start to really become your personality. So dimensions of our personality really start in a response to the experiences we have in life. The thing about experiences is they're transient and they change, right? Experiences, there's new ones every moment available to you, and they change. They change in terms of how you interpret them, they change in terms of the person you are as you approach them. All of these things are an opportunity for change, and all of these ideas, personality and identity, they really are based in the concept of I am.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:My personality, my identity, my typical way of reacting to things, the way I look at this kind of thing, you know, the way I look at sports, or the way I look at baseball, or the way I look at food, or the way I look at friends, or the way I consider these things get locked in and they sit behind this world of I am who I am. Now, because these things are the function of experience, and experience is really a function of interpretation, and experience then gets reinforced because we approach similar circumstances with similar mental predispositions, and we start to see everything as the same experience over and over, we get up in the day and we start to address the day with all of this subconscious pre-programming, predisposition, and essentially uh a personality identity by saying to yourself, as Joe Spencer says, if I'm going to start my day with all the same thoughts that I started yesterday, I just really can't expect today to be different than yesterday. And so, what can I do in this veil of I am? What can I do in relation to that that's gonna make this day different? And it just starts with I am open to change, I am open.
SPEAKER_03:Do you think we might have to, like I said in the beginning, strip ourselves down to just the I am statement, or uh like let go of our attachments to our personalities before that can change, or can we make those incremental changes?
SPEAKER_00:Well, I think there's a lot you can do with I am. I mean, that's why we teach it a lot and why we spend a lot of time on it. And I do think that there are little, you know, mind experiments you can kill that. Right? I I like this one. I've used this one quite a few times in groups. No, let's say you lost your job. Would you disappear?
SPEAKER_01:No.
SPEAKER_00:No. Well then you are not your job. If you if you lost your favorite toy, would you disappear? Well then you are not your favorite toy. If you lost someone you love, would you disappear? Well then you are not them. If you lost you know, God forbid, if you lost a finger, would you disappear? Well then you are not your finger. You can examine your your being, your personality from top to bottom, and start to come to the conclusion that a whole lot of things can change in my life. And I'm still here. So I must not be that thing.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, but we tend to attach ourselves to those things.
SPEAKER_00:Build identity or yeah.
SPEAKER_03:I work a lot with people who I don't know why. I I always think the the word graduating. They're not graduating, they're retiring. I can't, I can't even remember the word retiring when they're graduating. But they they have lost, they have forgotten who they are. So it's very hard after they retire because they've put their sense of self into their work. They they thought that's who I am.
SPEAKER_00:And you layer that subconsciously with the structure and rigidity to which they approach their lives, right? For many, many people, career is their identity.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:And it becomes the most important thing.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:And because it becomes the most important thing, every other aspect of their life is secondary to it. You know, how many times do you hear people say, oh, sorry, I can't, I have to work.
SPEAKER_01:Right?
SPEAKER_00:Sorry, I I'm not, I'm not three lambs, I don't have holidays left. Yeah. I am not able to do those kinds of things because I have to go to work. And we have our routines and our structures that are built around going to work.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:The time we get up, the things that we eat, you know, getting our coffee in, right? We're changing our routines. You and I trying to do these podcasts live in the morning. And if we were rigid to the old way of life, we'd find resistance in doing this. And certainly there's resistance.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Just like now. I just checked. This is this is how we're getting on right now. So we're using Zoom to do these podcasts. And I was looking over at the little uh microphone, and it's got this green thing going up and down, showing how loud our voices are. And I'm like, hmm, did I actually add the Samsung Meteor mic that's in the big in the middle of the table as our mic today? No, it's the MacBook. So less might be a little tiny in the back. Right? So it's just these getting these things going is is hard sometimes, right?
SPEAKER_00:Change in routine. Anyway, it's it's it's identity. And below identity is I am. You know, I am someone who goes to work, I am someone who works at this place, I am the name your title. I am a nurse, I am a doctor, I am a government clerk, I am and these are things that we quickly grab onto, and they mean a lot, and subconsciously they're very, very powerful. So the idea, quite simply, is how do I change those? Or how do I make them better? Or how do I create for myself a sense of being right now that's different from what I am? People use it a lot in relation to their emotions.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, we were talking about that in the school last night or in my training school. How we attach ourselves to our emotions, and how we can develop a personality around our emotions if we get caught up in them for too long.
SPEAKER_00:That's that that's saying, uh, you know, an emotion becomes a mood, becomes an attitude, becomes a personality, and and it starts with, I am, I am angry. Right? And if you find enough, if if you find if in a moment you're angry and you say to yourself, leave me alone, I'm angry, you claim that for yourself and your space. When you look over, it has become for these moments your identity. It's a mental pathway, it's a it's a mental structure that you use all the time, that we use all the time, that I use all the time. And what it can do is lock me into something that I don't particularly want. It can lock me into, you know, uh into a claiming state. I am, you know, I am angry or I am happy. It's funny how we don't cling to that one very much.
SPEAKER_03:The happy one?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Yeah, it's so funny how when I when I talk to clients, and we've mentioned this before on the podcast, but I think it it's worth mentioning again. It just maybe it's a reframe you tell me, but the idea that if we can make ourselves feel bad by thinking negatively, not many people think about how, well, if you think I don't want to say positive, but if you think yourself into a more joyful state or a more happy state or a more peaceful state, think about nice things in your life, think about nice past events in your life, it makes you feel good. But for some reason, when you mention that to people, they think it's metaphysical. Woo-woo. It's it's the oddest thing.
SPEAKER_00:Well, there's an awareness that can be had that we are, however way uh you want to pose it to yourself, you're free to do so. I like to think of myself as a soul in a body. I am a soul in a body, I am not a body with a soul. Um, it's a completely different claiming of I am. I like to think of it that way because it changes the way I address things, it changes the way I think of my life experience. It's a subtle shift. Anyway, so I what I'm driving at is we can choose to not be primarily in our focus, in our efforts, and our thoughts, a body. But it's pretty normal to do that. It's pretty normal to see yourself as a body. It's pretty normal to experience the body first. I mean, you gotta be really strong in your mind, not to be experiencing your body first. And the body grabs your attention every minute of the day, you know, every funny little feeling, every sensation, every change in conditions, your body's on full alert because your body still thinks it's a body, and your body-mind still thinks it's a body, and your body-mind is predisposed to protect you, to go to protection mode, to think in terms of protection from external attack, whether that's the weather or other beings or a tiger or whatever. The body is predisposed to survival, and the body is going to grab our attention every minute, and so it's really easy to anticipate the negative, anticipate attack, anticipate problem. The body-mind is predisposed to go there. And so I think that there is this, I don't know, evolutionary predisposition to anticipate the negative, to prepare for the negative, and to think a lot about the negative.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, it's our go-to, right? Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00:And and you can't but feel normal, right? Like that's just normal. But when it comes to being happy, it's not always helpful. And so for me, the first subtle shift is not it's at as base a level as I can get. I am a soul and a body, I am an eternal being. In fact, my favorite I am right now is I am an eternal being, and nothing can change that. And I just like to go there in my mind. It really changes the way I experience the things going on in my life. So, first of all, you know, if you're a good old-fashioned human being who's out there, you know, worrying about life, you're normal. There's nothing wrong with you. You've come into this world with that equipment. What we're talking about today is can I use the idea, the deepest idea of I am, to change that experience of life. To change the way I interpret what's going on around me, which changes my experience. It changes my mood, absolutely. And changing my mood creates opportunities. You know, it's it's really that simple. You know, in a world of people, we tend to avoid, you know, grumpy old men, right? And we tend to be attracted to um giggling little kids. And I think that we invite more of what life has to offer by shifting our emotional state, by shifting our emotional mood, in a quite in quite a practical sense. Quite apart from anything we might talk about in terms of you know quantum physics in the field and having a a predisposition vibration that that you know collapses in the field. Just in terms of just interacting with other human beings and and and outward conditions, I think that shifting the I am from the body's predisposition of protection to a mental disposition of openness and safety is very, very powerful.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. And I do want to touch on the idea of not going for happiness in life. And I know that sounds weird to maybe people listening, but happiness sells. We know that it's almost like weight loss, you know, it sells. People want it, but it is, as we tell clients, it's externally motivated. It's an externally motivated emotion. So something good happens. We make a sale or we get a new client. I'm happy, but how how long does that last? Might be even just a few seconds, or it might be a day, and then we're back to wherever we were before. So where we're going or what we're going for is more of a peacefulness, because peacefulness is internal. You don't have those roller coaster rides of emotions up and down. Doesn't mean that you can't be happy or you can't be sad or angry, but you sort of roll in this in this band that is much more, it's it's not so wide, right? If you think of an emotional scale going up and down and up and down, you sort of sit in this band that's I don't know, a little more thin or not as wide. I hope I can see it in my mind. I'm trying to explain it, but I get you. You know what I'm saying. Well, you know what I'm talking about.
SPEAKER_00:We talk about this all the time, but yeah, there's a couple of good books out there. Uh one's called Happiness Hypothesis, and the other one's called Stumbling on Happiness. There was a time in my life about 25 years ago when I was a big, yeah, I was a big uh follower of the Dalai Lama who talked about a lot about happiness. And I wanted to understand what happiness was. And the science that the psychologists who studied this stuff have generally found is that happiness is an emotion, if you define emotions as a feeling response to your experience, a feeling response to what's happening around you. So just as something can make you sad, something can make you happy, which means happiness can only be a temporary thing, like every other emotion, and that the secret to happiness is improvement. That in fact, you can take somebody who's you know smashed a thumb with a hammer, and they're going through what they're going through hurt and pain and frustration, and then you give them a painkiller and you put some ice on it, and in fact, you'll find that they start to get happy because the pain gets better. When conditions improve, happiness is the emotional response, and it's kind of neat that they've taken that time to discover that to take that even further, you know, as a refrain. The question is really what is our natural state?
SPEAKER_03:Anxiety.
SPEAKER_00:Well, and and that's I think that's emotions are habitual, right? Yeah. That's it exactly. Emotions are habitual, and emotions are a response to an interpretation of what's going on around us. And when yesterday we were anxious about something and the conditions haven't changed, we're gonna be anxious about it today. We're going to continue to see conditions around us to be the same, and we're gonna constantly give it that same emotional response. And I discovered this years ago, and I try to remind myself of it regularly. My natural state is one of openness and love and joy. That is what we really are in our most natural state, and you you see proof of that in kids. Yeah, right. Kids are resilient, they don't cling to emotions, kids are not interpreting everything that happens as if it's permanent or it's about them. Kids are playful, imaginative, creative, this is all natural to them. It's only when we've successfully indoctrinated them into ways of thinking and being as young adults and then older adults, do they start to step away from that natural predisposition. And so I think that that that is a worthwhile approach. Just like I am a soul and a body, I am naturally joyful, and what's going on are the things that interfere with my joy. So my thoughts, my interpretation of my life, these are actually interfering with my natural state. And if I could manage those, if I could resolve those, if I could eliminate those, my natural state of joy will come to be. And I think almost everybody experiences this on a day off, right? Everybody has everybody's going to work, and then everybody has a day off. You know, your day off, when you wake up in the morning, you're like, I don't have to go to work, and smile comes on your face, and in many occasions, you could think of something you want to do, like go to the coffee shop and call it something, and this natural joy starts to come forward, and it's it's it is not a reaction to what's coming because you wake up, it's a day off, you don't even know what's coming, right? It's a it's a removal of the thought patterns and the thought forms and the conditions that you normally engage that cause you to engage all those old predispositions and emotions. You know, I I'm I'm a worker, I have this job, I do this kind of thing. So then the focus becomes not how do I be a better person, how do I be more joyful? It's how do I manage the things that are interfering with my natural joy? How do I think about the conditions of my life differently?
SPEAKER_03:I wanted to give an example while we were talking there. I thought of an example for listeners. We talk about how kids are naturally joyful. Unless put in situations where they're they can't be, where they feel like they can't be. It brought up to it brought to mind the conference last week or a couple weeks ago now. And we saw a live stage show. It was small, smaller than normal, but it was still fun and and the people that got up there totally went into their subconscious being. And a child lives in their alpha-theta state, their subconscious mind. Right? They've got castles around them and they can build moats, and they, you know, they're a firefighter, and they're, you know, they they they have friends that are invisible to us, you know, and so they're they're living in this in this state. And when I saw the people on stage, remove the barriers that we put on ourselves. Yeah, but I might look silly. Right, or I might I might feel stupid doing that, which we do so often. You saw these people on stage start playing instruments when there was nothing there and they started talking like aliens, you know, or using their phone or their shoe as a phone. And so it's really removing that that barrier to, let's say, joy or peace or their their subconscious mind, where we where we get caught up in what we're gonna look like or how we're gonna be. I know that I reach that state when I get excited about something, and then I start talking and talking, and then things come out, and I'm like, oh shoot, I take that back, or like I look stupid, or you know, I I just get really out there and silly when I'm excited about something. And that's not a bad thing, but I sure do feel afterwards like, oh, maybe, maybe that was maybe I looked stupid or you know, or sounded stupid.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I I really think that there is a more natural human state that isn't blanketed in all these all these fears, all these predispositions to worry, to to see ourselves as a being who is juggling so many dimensions of our lives, and when we step away from that, there's a much more natural, joyful state, an excitement about life. Yeah. So then the question is, you know, I I'll use this analogy. I had a buddy back in high school, he had this car that the starter motor was gone. But it was a it was a standard transmission. So it had a clutch and it had gears and stuff. And every time we'd park and shut it off, the only way we could get it started again was to push it. So a car with a standard transmission, if you step on the clutch and you put it in first gear, and then you just start pushing it moving forward, when you let the clutch out, that'll start the engine. And I think of that as a perfect analogy to I am statements. I am statements. I wake up in the morning, the flood of yesterday comes charging in. Probably a list of worries and concerns, maybe in there, muddled in there, some to-do's that I gotta get to done today. And so it's it's just this flood of old thoughts coming back in. And I think that there's huge opportunity in the morning, and it's become my practice, to really work on grabbing your thoughts first thing in the morning. Grabbing your thoughts and finding a way of turning what would otherwise be called negative thoughts that are generating negative emotions, worry and fear, and anxiety, and frustration, and anger, and all these things that interfere with our ability to be at peace. And the power of an I am statement, finding the ones that work for you, that address most meaningfully the sort of predisposition identity that you have that causes life to feel like a lot of work, a lot of effort, a lot of resistance.
SPEAKER_03:And I think if I may add to that, I think it's it's not about you know, when life is tough and it it's tough sometimes, right? It's not about sitting there and thinking I am statements and then jumping out of bed, woo-hoo, life, you know, it's about that little bit of peace that may come from that. And it's just building on that little bit of peace.
SPEAKER_00:I think that an I am statement doesn't isn't the most effective when it's just contradictory. If I wake up and I'm about to say to myself, I'm worried, I to say I'm not worried is not really helpful. But I think that there are I am statements that can ease and slowly shift, you know. I I think of the metaphor of the the big ship that's going to turn 180 degrees. It only does that a few degrees at a time.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:It takes a long time, takes a lot of I hand.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:But even, you know, even if you can shift that 10 degrees, you're gonna change the place you end up. You know, you're gonna change the way your day feels.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:And so, you know, to just use that as the example, you know, I am worried. It becomes not a contradictory statement to say I'm smart. I am capable of planning. I am creative. I am capable of coming up with new ideas. I am strong. I am smart. I am creative. I am working on this now. I am changing the way I feel about this now. I am coming up with solutions now. I am capable of creating solutions. I am capable of addressing difficulty. I am successful at addressing difficulty. I am someone who has always been successful at addressing difficulty. I am not alone. I am a friend to many people. I am loved. I am supported by those in my life. I don't know that you've shifted the ship 180 degrees with those, but they sure feel different than I am worried. I am in trouble. You know, these kinds of thoughts are no matter which way you go with I am statements, you're claiming.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I don't think we lay there in the morning and think I am worried. I think it's just this subconscious stuff going on, right? So if we can give the subconscious mind something that is something that they it can accept. You know, I'll never sit there and tell a weight loss client, oh, you're gonna lose 10 pounds by next week. Because their subconscious mind would never accept that. It's gonna push, push, push, back, right? So again, like you said, you're you're not saying, I'm not worried, you know, I'm not in trouble.
SPEAKER_00:You're giving it these ideas that maybe it can get on board with the well, I think that when you claim a different emotional state, when you claim a different approach, thought approach, when you claim that, you make shifts. And I think the magic is in claiming Iambs that are moving towards the positive that you really want, rather than um saying, Well, this is the condition of my life, this is the way it is. You know, I have proof. Yeah, I'm a mess. Well, that's what you're claiming when you say that. That's where you're moving your emotional state. That's quite literally digging an emotional hole and fortifying it by repeating it. And no matter how true you might be convinced it is, it's not helpful. It's not at all helpful. And if anybody should be helping you, it is you. And we we miss the opportunity to use our mind to help ourselves. And I think that that starts with the simplest of reframes. I am not my thoughts, I am the thinker. I can change what I think. I am the thinker. These are just thoughts. I don't have to hang on to them. You know, uh Luke Howard at the convention, he he taught a little thing and I loved it. He just said, which weighs more? The thought of a feather or the thought of 50,000 pounds?
SPEAKER_03:Interesting.
SPEAKER_00:And they're both thoughts, and neither of them weigh anything. We we step into the meaning of our thoughts when we have them. I am not my thoughts, I am the thinker. Thoughts come to me all the time, fast and furious, every day, whether I want them or not. These are habitual, thoughts are habitual. It's that study that's been repeated over and over and over. The numbers change, but the theme remains the same. You have about 60,000 thoughts in a day, about 3,000 of them are new and creative and positive. The rest are all thoughts you thought before and are largely negative. That's the way people are. I think they talk about an overall human negativity bias. But these are your thoughts, they're habitual. Embrace the idea that your thoughts are mostly out of control. They're just doing the thing that they did yesterday, over and over and over, and you have legitimate reasons for thinking those thoughts at the time, and nobody's criticizing that. You're really, really normal. Everybody goes through this. But then you change to I am the thinker, I am not my thoughts. I am the thinker, I am not my thoughts. And in that comes the opportunity to change what you think, to actually choose what you think. Right? So imagine yourself this morning, maybe you've already been there, but if you haven't been there yet, getting in the shower and allowing yourself to observe your thoughts. When you get into that morning grooming routine, and all the thoughts of the day start tumbling into your head. And just take a breath and say, I am the thinker, I am not my thoughts, I can change my thoughts. I am not going to think about this. There's absolutely no dimension of this particular problem that I haven't already thought through and know that it's a problem. I've already thought it through. I'm already quite clear what problem I'm in. I don't need to think about it anymore. What I need to think about is just how creative and strong and capable I am. And that's what will open the door for me to become different in the way I address that problem. Possibly more powerful in the way I address that problem, that issue, or that thing. So be easy on yourself. Thoughts are habitual, thoughts don't have any particular weight. You can let go of a thought as fast as you thought of it. You can create a new thought as fast as you want. Our suggestion is to use I am savings. I am safe. I am capable. I am learning all the time. I am growing and becoming every day. I am moving through these circumstances. I am creating new circumstances for myself. And just grab those big IMs and start claiming that territory for yourself. There's tons of science that says that's going to change your neuropl your neural networks because of neuroplasticity. I fall into my old repeated thoughts, I'm fortifying my neural networks. I deliberately think differently, I'm changing my neural networks.
SPEAKER_03:And I think it has to, it has to be deliberate in the beginning.
SPEAKER_00:Absolutely.
SPEAKER_03:Like it has to be choice.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. And, you know, that's part of what we do, right? We help people shift those thoughts.
SPEAKER_03:And um and we're certainly not gurus over here. You know, we we struggle just as much as anybody else. But I think uh, you know, we we have seen through ourselves and others these changes, right? So it's I think important to share like we are doing.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, so I guess all in all, the the the suggestion is to first recognize that your thoughts are habits and they don't have to be. You can change habits. The best way to get rid of a bad habit is to replace it with another habit. And it doesn't take long to create habits, and everything that you do with your mind, you're practicing. So you might as well practice things that are helpful. I am not my thoughts, I am the thinker. I can change what I think. I can think randomly. Place yourself in your five-year-old mindset when life was an adventure. Just imagine yourself at five for a little while. There are so many ways to use your mind to help you and improve your experience.
SPEAKER_03:We have training coming up this week. Did you want to talk about what you're doing today?
SPEAKER_00:No, you can you talk about what you're doing.
SPEAKER_03:I don't know what I'm doing.
SPEAKER_00:So I'm I'm setting the stage for a whole course in eaves. So let's what what we're gonna explain is a series of short videos that embrace the idea that maybe a lot of our course thoughts are not helpful and they're not accurate, and that basic fundamental reframes, thinking of things differently, recognizing uh the truth of things creates a whole subconscious predisposition to experience your life differently. And so a lot of the stuff I talked about this morning, I'm going to be talking about in this course. It's going to set the stage for what a reframe is, how reframes work, where the positive outcome of reframes are. And then I'm going to give a series of reframes that I found very, very helpful with my clients, helpful in my own life, but very, very helpful with my clients. And that will be done in a series of I'm going to attempt to be short videos to just cover off some simple ideas and to fortify those ideas with some meditations. So we'll sort of establish a talk about some ideas, and then we'll do a little meditation to try to lock that in. And I'm going to be doing those over the next couple of weeks, whole series. I've got the first three sort of locked down yesterday, and gonna try to record those today.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, and then they'll be found in the classrooms tab on school. There's a classroom tab called Reframes. It's empty now, but it's ready to go with those teachings later this week. Excuse me, I think Thursday. And just asking our body, ourselves, what's going on? What are you holding on to? And so, you know, I I train hypnotists to do that, but I want to bring it, you know, into the sphere of teaching individuals how to do that if they're feeling like, oh, what's going on in my body, or what am I holding on to, or why do I have a pain in my knee, or you know, and seeing where it takes you and the and the process work to do when you get there. Your subconscious mind, your your cells are your body is intelligent, right? Every cell knows what it's doing, but they do hold on to in the scientific model, cellular memory, in the metaphysical model, they're holding on to something from the past where they I haven't seen it different yet, but they will take you there to what it's actually needing to shift. So yeah, I'm gonna be teaching that. I think if I haven't said haven't said it already on Thursday. Still trying to figure out if I'm gonna do that live right now, but it will definitely be in the school classrooms at the end of Thursday.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, so this is our our new venture. This is our new exciting sort of that's right, word. It's the new context for our helping business trying to create tools people can use on their own.
