Eat, Move & Feel Better - User Manual For Humans S1 E13 - Dr Ekberg

Time: 0.03

Good evening and welcome tonight we're doing User Manual For Humans part 13

Time: 6.96

that means we've actually done 12 of these before and because we're recording

Time: 11.759

them you can go back and find every one of them online so there's like a look

Time: 16.23

video library of knowledge for those who have attended all of them or a lot of

Time: 22.199

them you will see that a lot of this is sort of a repetition but what we're

Time: 28.8

doing is we're pointing out some highlights tonight but more than that

Time: 33.21

we're bringing some some more specific examples so each well note well do well

Time: 39.93

the first thing that we need to figure out about that is why why would we be

Time: 44.91

interested what is what is our told what's our desire what are we trying to

Time: 49.53

accomplish and in one word what we're trying to do is to get better health

Time: 54.059

we're trying to get more out of life and now I'm going to sound a little strange

Time: 58.71

and I'm going to say you know health isn't for everybody and this sounds even

Time: 64.049

stranger because on my court it's printed health and peak performance is

Time: 68.52

for everybody but the car didn't have room to print health and peak

Time: 74.1

performance is for everybody who is interested and willing to take some

Time: 80.009

action that was just too long to put on there okay so some people are perfectly

Time: 87.45

content to eat hamburgers and drink a six-pack of beer and go back and forth

Time: 92.28

from the fridge to the sofa and have heart attacks at 50 and it's not our job

Time: 97.68

to try to change that so first of all we need to understand that the Y comes from

Time: 102.899

each one of us that if we want to be healthy if we want to do something

Time: 107.34

different than most people and that's that's the design

Time: 111.08

and then we learned to do the things that that accomplished that so who says

Time: 118.1

to do these things well you can read them in in magazines and we live in a

Time: 123.5

world where there are a lot of shoots you they tell you everywhere you should

Time: 128.6

exercise more you should eat more vegetables you have it live if you're

Time: 132.62

not interested in better health then you don't have to so figure that out first

Time: 137.51

and and and know why so there's no right or wrong or should but what we're going

Time: 143.78

to talk about is that there are laws of nature and these laws of nature are much

Time: 150.02

much stronger and more infallible than the man-made laws see the man-made laws

Time: 156.62

you can violate them and it only matters if you get caught but the laws of the

Time: 163.31

universe the laws of nature you can't violate because you get caught every

Time: 168.26

time so that's what we want to talk about laws of nature laws of biology or

Time: 174.5

of ecosystems if you will because you are an ecosystem and violating the laws

Time: 181.25

have consequences every time to sort of spur on the motivation a little bit what

Time: 187.489

happens to the people who violate these principles well let's look at the state

Time: 192.02

of health in this country we hear every day in the propaganda that we have the

Time: 198.41

best health care system in the world okay we spend two trillion dollars on

Time: 204.65

health care and yet we rank somewhere around 37 or 38 which is virtually last

Time: 210.92

of most developed countries so it's not the amount of money or how sophisticated

Time: 217.06

the the toys are that how healthy we get so if you look at

Time: 222.98

slide number two this is from a government site aging stats gov chronic

Time: 229.4

conditions reported by people 65 and over and this is a few years ago but it

Time: 234.95

hasn't gotten better trust me high blood pressure fifty two percent of people

Time: 240.76

arthritis fifty percent of people heart disease 32 percent diabetes 27

Time: 247.7

percent cancer 21 percent strokes nine point two and then asked my bronchitis

Time: 253.13

and emphysema so people over 65 are really not doing very well and why

Time: 260.23

because they have violated the laws of nature they're just not living in

Time: 266.06

accordance with them and that's what happens so there's our motivation if we

Time: 270.83

don't want to be part of this statistic then we have the choice to do something

Time: 276.56

different so that's what this is about please review earlier video so I'm going

Time: 283.22

to rush through this but there's a lot of detail in if you're looking back the

Time: 288.05

first thing to understand is that the body is designed to heal if you have a

Time: 292.91

scratch on your hand or anywhere else it heals because it's in the very fabric of

Time: 298.22

nature to heal and it can heal anything not just little scratches but it can

Time: 305.21

heal heart disease it can heal cancer it can heal anything because it's built-in

Time: 310.669

and if you take a handful of pebbles and you just throw them up in the air and

Time: 317.81

they're gonna fall down and they're going to scatter totally random but when

Time: 322.22

you take little pebbles called molecules and you introduce them into your body

Time: 326.69

they don't scatter randomly they follow an intelligent path

Time: 332.169

and your body incorporates it so that this was a piece of salad and this was a

Time: 339.009

piece of tomato and chicken and the body knows what to do with it it's

Time: 344.56

intelligent it's non-random and we have to start learning to trust that that

Time: 349.479

there is an idea behind this system on the other hand disease and imbalance

Time: 355.93

what happens with disease and imbalance there's only two things that can happen

Time: 361.319

something interfere with this intelligent system or this intelligent

Time: 368.74

system is missing something that it needs that's basically it that's all we

Time: 375.37

need to know and everything else is just details so we'll talk a few things here

Time: 382.539

queue a few moments about requirements for health and I was just setting the

Time: 388.62

groundwork here to get us in the right frame of thinking requirements do not

Time: 394.87

mean if something's required that does not mean that it's a hint it does not

Time: 401.5

mean that it's a suggestion it doesn't mean try it you might like it

Time: 407.31

or it's a good idea if you find that you have some spare time if it's required

Time: 414.279

means you have to have it but it's not required for everybody it's only

Time: 419.77

required if you want the results of Health okay there are no shoulds

Time: 427.659

there's only law and consequence so what is this universal law what if we take a

Time: 435.52

million plants you have a million plants to feed and what are you going to feed

Time: 440.889

this plants what's the first thing you're going to get

Time: 444.56

anybody for water alright who says sunshine and nutrients some

Time: 452.31

good soil okay you take a million plants and you try to keep them alive for a

Time: 458.82

year and give them two out of three how many plants do you have at the end of

Time: 463.98

the year zero pretty much okay if something's required you cannot raise

Time: 474.24

something healthy with two out of three it just doesn't work so next we want to

Time: 480.57

figure out what are the requirements for humans and that's the topic the

Time: 485.88

requirements means you have to have them is you need to eat well move well and do

Time: 491.79

well those aren't optional if you want health you can get by for a while with

Time: 497.49

two out of three but you cannot achieve optimum health and peak performance and

Time: 502.53

live happily and joyfully into your 80s and 90s without these so let's just look

Time: 509.19

at a little bit of what that might look like with humans what does it actually

Time: 515.07

mean two out of three or three out of three so let's say that this is

Time: 522.56

nutrition and this is movement and this is happy thought so if one of them goes

Time: 534.18

away completely you will die very very quickly but let's say that you have this

Time: 541.47

much movement then you're stimulating the system a little bit but you're not

Time: 546.42

stimulating it enough for form optimal health and we'll subdivide this one in

Time: 553.73

and let's say that this is how much we need for optimal health

Time: 559.47

this is optimal health so this this is calories or fuel this is actual

Time: 568.17

nutrients this is movement and this is let's call it happiness so how many

Time: 578.7

people think we get enough calories alright mr. McAlary Department I think

Time: 587.07

we're doing pretty well but when we process food we're keeping the calories

Time: 593.67

and destroying the nutrients so how many people think we're a little bit short on

Time: 598.65

nutrients exactly and we we've had both seminars about this then on movement how

Time: 607.62

many people do you think get an optimal amount of movement throughout the week

Time: 613.46

one in ten that some of us this this amount here is walking from the sofa to

Time: 619.92

the fridge for another beer okay he's getting some movement but not a whole

Time: 625.53

lot this is the guy who walks across the parking lots and maybe doesn't always

Time: 632.49

look for the closest spot and then this is the guy who goes for a walk with a

Time: 636.84

dog and invest some yoga tai chi goes to the yam get some aerobics go for iran

Time: 642.51

and so on and and there is an optimal amount then of course we can do too much

Time: 649.65

and that's where we've not giving the body time to recover so there's always a

Time: 654.87

balance and happiness how many people here hands up would say that you feel

Time: 661.17

completely peaceful and joyous 100% of the time no hands

Time: 668.32

and how come well we're human we live in a society that's that's teaching us to

Time: 675.399

worry basically so for it for most of us I would say that we're falling far short

Time: 682.75

of optimal so yeah we we can live for a while but if we can understand this and

Time: 689.199

work on it we can get to the optimal level of each of these and that is what

Time: 696.459

the ecosystem requires for optimal health all right

Time: 701.339

so eat well what does that mean well it means eating things that contain

Time: 708.67

nutrients that the body needs that's the first part the second part is that and

Time: 715.99

we've talked about these also please review that it's also about after you

Time: 721.87

put it in your mouth and swallowed it doesn't automatically become tissue

Time: 726.91

there's the process in between so the better that you chew it the better that

Time: 733.18

you enjoy it the better that you are aware of the flavors and the textures

Time: 738.49

and you pay attention the more you're going to activate your digestive system

Time: 743.649

to actually incorporate this food into your body so it's a whole mind body

Time: 748.44

experience rather than just stuffing food in into the one hand then if we

Time: 756.93

rush away from from the meal and we go straight back to work or we go out and

Time: 762.579

we start stressing again now we're shifting the resources in the body so

Time: 767.74

we're not leaving enough blood in the digestive tract to actually digest that

Time: 772.24

food so it's more than just eating the right foods it's also about enjoying the

Time: 779.8

food taking the time and then learning to

Time: 783.55

slow ourselves down so that our body can do something with it

Time: 788.04

then we also want to eat enough fiber and drink enough water so that we can

Time: 796.66

eliminate it because if we still put stuff in one end and it doesn't come out

Time: 800.71

the other that means that the stuff is getting old and rancid and we're

Time: 805.87

starting to reabsorb a lot of toxins and that's called Auto toxicity and that's

Time: 811.96

why you want two or more bowel movements every day because if you have one a day

Time: 819.22

that means that the old food is sitting in the large intestine an average of 24

Time: 823.96

hours and that's too long that means it starts to be absorbing a lot of the

Time: 828.19

stuff that's supposed to get out and not to mention the count of the people that

Time: 833.71

have a bowel movement a week I mean they are very in trouble they're in trouble

Time: 839.8

so basically every time you eat you put something in one end something should

Time: 845.62

come out the other end if you're having enough fiber and enough water to drive

Time: 849.73

the process and also if there are some food supplements if there's some

Time: 855.97

nutrients that are just generally low in food then we need to supplement those

Time: 862.81

and we talked about that a couple of weeks ago the number one thing you want

Time: 867.76

to think about is fish oil because it's just not available in

Time: 872.45

natural form enough so some more pointers on how to eat well first of all

Time: 881.63

and and most people when they try to do changes they feel great resistance they

Time: 888.92

say oh that's too much nobody can do that

Time: 891.38

I just won't bother so we need to start understanding and implementing changes

Time: 899.12

gradually because otherwise it's a shock to our habits it's just too much to cope

Time: 904.22

with and too much to deal with so start wherever you are and just set a

Time: 909.14

goal to increase so for example beat Whole Foods does those are the foods

Time: 915.65

that contain nutrients the ones that they haven't put into packaged with long

Time: 919.61

labels if you start with 50% of Whole Foods and then work your way up then you

Time: 928.25

can do it at your own pace eat raw foods and raw foods are primarily vegetables

Time: 934.94

but of course you can eat fruits and eggs and meat and fish and things like

Time: 940.64

that as well start with the mall you may not want to eat raw fish I'll take that

Time: 948.11

back so primarily that vegetables and fruit would be the raw stuff so start

Time: 955.04

maybe with 20% and then then work your way work your way up the fish and the

Time: 960.74

meat that's the whole food start eating organic so organic cost more it's harder

Time: 967.49

to find so start slow make a goal of maybe eating 20 percent learn which

Time: 973.73

foods are the most important which ones are the most contaminated by toxins such

Time: 979.73

as grapes and strawberries you hardly ever want to eat those unless they're

Time: 984.32

organic because they use tons of pesticides and

Time: 986.769

you eat the peel that they sprayed something else like a banana which

Time: 991.87

you're gonna peel is not as crucial so pick a few and and start working your

Time: 996.79

way up reduce bread and starch and especially wheats so if you're not ready

Time: 1005.459

to cut it out completely out of your life then just make a goal of cutting it

Time: 1009.509

in half try to eat half as much as you do now and

Time: 1015.199

sugars and starches are and breads and starches sugars they are the number one

Time: 1023.279

reason why 27 percent of the elderly people have diabetes and why 50% of them

Time: 1029.37

are insulin resistance we had a whole seminar on that we are just not designed

Time: 1034.919

to eat large quantities of starches that in genetically speaking if if our DNA is

Time: 1043.65

this old then bread was introduced over here it is

Time: 1048.089

still a very very novel thing to our to our DNA into our to our bodies

Time: 1054.86

next sugar and alcohol neither sugar nor alcohol is a poison

Time: 1061.28

they only become that when we have too much there both the bodies are designed

Time: 1067.169

to process them naturally we have enzymes we have systems to break them

Time: 1071.789

down we have alcohol dehydrogenase which is an enzyme to break it down which

Time: 1077.07

means it's a natural thing it only becomes a problem when you exaggerate

Time: 1081.809

and the same thing with sugar so my suggestion and this is just opinion you

Time: 1087.9

can research and come up with your own numbers I would suggest keep it below 20

Time: 1092.22

grams per day and that's for for sugar and/or alcohol

Time: 1097.44

building c20 I would also say avoid pasteurized dairy Dairy is is a good

Time: 1106.26

food when it's passed from mother to child the straight source but when we

Time: 1112.679

extract it and new kids and do all sorts of things with it it becomes a very

Time: 1120.24

unsuitable food it's very very difficult to break down when they take milk and

Time: 1126.36

they make yogurt out of it they return those enzymes and bacteria to the milk

Time: 1132.57

that they took away so yogurt is actually digestible but stick with plain

Time: 1137.82

and not the the fruity kind because those have more sugar than coca-cola and

Time: 1146.27

take a high quality fish oil supplement so this these are just simple plain

Time: 1154.5

suggestions to get you going and this is not a simple process it's a

Time: 1159.029

life-changing process so you've got to figure it out for yourself I've used

Time: 1163.049

theirs these as guidelines so what will it prioritize when we're looking at at

Time: 1168.809

eating well for health purposes the number one thing that we're looking for

Time: 1174.45

when we're choosing our food and designing a plan is stabilizing blood

Time: 1179.549

sugar if we don't want to do anything else just work to stabilize blood sugar

Time: 1185.46

and look at the the diabetes video to learn

Time: 1189.1

do that and why secondly I would say avoid toxins so and toxins are not just

Time: 1198.669

the the non-organic foods they're also anything anything processed where they

Time: 1204.1

use preservatives or artificial colors artificial flavors artificial sweeteners

Time: 1209.86

artificial aromatics artificial anything these things are poison and the more

Time: 1216.13

that you eat of them the harder it is for your body to function and thirdly I

Time: 1221.289

would say start buying organic buy free-range and buy locally grown and as

Time: 1229.75

a fourth point I would also say maybe start looking at a pH but if you're

Time: 1235.21

following the other rules and that sort of follows by itself so people always

Time: 1242.169

ask me what what do I eat what do we do how do you do this thing and there's not

Time: 1247.96

a set way for everybody but one example that I have developed that works really

Time: 1253.72

well for me is on slide number 8 I start my day with the smoothie virtually most

Time: 1261.25

every day and with the smoothie I put 2 cups of water 1 TSP of psyllium husks 2

Time: 1268.72

tablespoons of protein powder and you want to make that something that's not

Time: 1273.549

soy and not flavored because those are typically full of all sorts of junk two

Time: 1279.85

celery stalks one cup of spinach and I use frozen I use half a banana and one

Time: 1285.73

cup of berries and fruit and I use the frozen fruit I buy big bags take them in

Time: 1293.35

the freezer and just put it in every morning that way you have the

Time: 1297.1

convenience of things not spoiling and I finished up with it with a little

Time: 1302.999

batch of stevia which is a natural sweetener so what this this does and I

Time: 1308.399

forgot one thing which is one of the most important is a half a cup of

Time: 1313.109

almonds go ahead and write that in if you want to do this half a cup of

Time: 1318.479

almonds provides most of the protein and when you do a smoothie do you want to

Time: 1325.409

provide plenty of nutrients you want to provide plenty of raw foods but remember

Time: 1330.479

what number one priority was stabilize blood sugar so if you make a smoothie

Time: 1336.389

from fruit alone that will jack up your blood sugar severely if you mix in some

Time: 1342.809

vegetables that will make it better if you make sense some protein powder that

Time: 1347.519

will make it even better and if you make send some almonds which has both protein

Time: 1351.899

and fat now you're gonna get a smoothie that will give you almost perfect blood

Time: 1357.179

sugar levels okay there's the protein and the fat slows

Time: 1361.289

down the sugar from the fruit plus when you use the whole fruit it is much

Time: 1368.549

better than drinking a juice because juice is basically just a tiny little

Time: 1374.039

better than than soft drinks so when they say oh it's made from fruit juice

Time: 1378.809

and all that don't buy into it because it still just sugar I start my day that

Time: 1383.429

way and I get a bunch of good quality fats good quality proteins I get fruits

Time: 1390.509

and vegetables I've already had as many more fruits and vegetables than most

Time: 1395.549

people get then I have a salad for lunch or dinner

Time: 1400.39

and then I have one more sort of regular meal somewhere in there meat and potato

Time: 1405.909

whatever you you enjoy but with this this idea now you have pretty much

Time: 1411.61

accomplished everything that I explained previously to set out to do to eat more

Time: 1417.52

than half of your food raw you're getting plenty of fruits and vegetables

Time: 1421.23

beginning you're stabilizing your blood sugar you're doing all those things so

Time: 1426.13

just an example move well what is move well what does that mean what why what's

Time: 1434.799

it all about again look back at the videos the movement stimulates the brain

Time: 1440.1

every cell in your body needs food and stimulation to live and the brain lives

Time: 1447.159

on movement much much more than it lives on thinking or seeing or hearing or

Time: 1452.529

anything else the main nutrient the main stimulation

Time: 1457.27

for the brain is movement and that movement comes from movements of joints

Time: 1463.149

and muscles so when a joint moves through its full range of motion whether

Time: 1468.22

it's a shoulder joint or whether it's a neck joint or whether it's a low back

Time: 1472.6

joint that joint sets a signal to the brain and that is the whole purpose of

Time: 1477.7

movement or the the major purpose of movement and without it we we just can't

Time: 1485.62

function properly when we move we also utilize muscles and muscles stabilize

Time: 1491.02

joints so they they sort of supplement each other and they they together they

Time: 1496.48

provide full function and as you all know muscles don't operate by themselves

Time: 1502.659

they only take orders the brain so to move well means that

Time: 1507.17

your brain and your muscles and your joints are in control and they have full

Time: 1513.02

balance and full range of motion so that means that the brain knows where the

Time: 1518.63

head is supposed to be in relation to all the other body parts and most people

Time: 1525.05

you see they're walking around like this and with this you are not going to have

Time: 1530.48

proper movement it's not possible if you imagine a bowling ball and you're

Time: 1536.39

holding a bowling ball that weighs about eight to ten pounds that's how much the

Time: 1540.8

head weighs so if you're balancing that bowling ball then there is a certain

Time: 1546.14

movement and you can balance that and it sort of works but if you move it forward

Time: 1551.15

two inches you just increase the muscle load about ten times and you have

Time: 1557.57

reduced the motion there is no proper motion and fluidity in that position

Time: 1563.48

anymore so that's why posture matters that's why

Time: 1567.52

this stuff is important and that's why I keep on everybody about doing their

Time: 1571.36

their bird exercises and their long wheel chair which we now have videos on

Time: 1575.83

so move well is simply use it or lose it you cannot obtain optimal health without

Time: 1583.45

regular movement and it doesn't have to mean exercise go experience pain in the

Time: 1591.1

gym it simply means do something on a

Time: 1594.76

regular basis whether it's just spending up doing some stretches or whether it's

Time: 1600.88

doing a tai chi class or yoga or whatever you enjoy those are fine but

Time: 1605.649

the basics is just to keep moving how do you move well well if you have had your

Time: 1615.549

neck out here and your neck isn't moving and it's been there that way for 20

Time: 1620.83

years then you need chiropractic adjustments so chiropractic what it

Time: 1626.559

actually does it restores range of motion so that the body can talk to the

Time: 1632.14

brain through that motion that is what chiropractic does it also sends a

Time: 1638.02

powerful message during the adjustment so that the brain wakes up we interrupt

Time: 1643.679

neurological patterns basically next if you want to you can do some yoga Pilates

Time: 1652.059

tai chi chi-gong weights aerobics whatever you like whatever you feel good

Time: 1658.149

doing and I would suggest 30 minutes three to five times a week the more

Time: 1663.22

variety you put into it the better off you are then learn to do some simple

Time: 1669.76

things like we teach here the wobble chair the spinal hygiene that

Time: 1674.179

bird exercises learn to do those they take about a minute or two and you can

Time: 1679.369

fit them in throughout the day and that provides that ongoing motion that that

Time: 1685.159

feels great because you stimulate the brain and all of us most of us have jobs

Time: 1693.23

where we're going to be sitting for a large portion of time many people sit

Time: 1700.009

for six or eight hours straight and when that happens what we want to do is we

Time: 1704.84

want to get up and do something every thirty minutes set an alarm clock or

Time: 1710.259

have a little box on your desk so you can sit down for a little bit and then

Time: 1714.95

you can stand up and do something and sit down but change it around do

Time: 1719.179

whatever you have to so you're not sitting like this for eight hours and

Time: 1726.519

what are the priorities of moving well well number one always stimulate the

Time: 1734.84

brain that is what movement does and because the brain regulates everything

Time: 1740.57

else in the body that's why exercise works for everything they tell people

Time: 1746.059

you have this problem you have that problem you have pained you're depressed

Time: 1749.629

go exercise and it works and that's the reason so the second reason to exercise

Time: 1756.169

where removed would be get fit if you enjoy doing racist if you enjoy hiking

Time: 1762.139

or climbing walls or whatever you need a certain level of fitness and the

Time: 1766.909

movement will will support that use it or lose it

Time: 1771.279

thirdly it improves circulation it basically increases circulation and your

Time: 1777.919

your you're fixing applying your you're shooting more blood through the plumbing

Time: 1783.889

and in clean stuff up it exchanges nutrients faster and it activates

Time: 1789.41

so yes there's some benefit there but that benefit is far far far down the

Time: 1795.95

list compared to the to the brain benefits and yet the the circulation and

Time: 1802.19

the heart that's basically all we hear but the reason again they work better is

Time: 1806.42

because the brain gets stimulated and works better so this brings us to think

Time: 1812.3

well and we'll introduce one of my favorite cartoons and there's this

Time: 1817.33

psychiatrist or psychologist talking to his patients says every time I see you

Time: 1823.01

all you do is talk about your problems no wonder you're depressed and what I

Time: 1831.53

like about it is that it's funny we sort of joke about it but that's really what

Time: 1837.11

it's about that really is what it's about

Time: 1840.79

depression is when you predominantly think depressing thoughts use it or lose

Time: 1847.4

it whichever pathways if you use a muscle you keep it if you don't you lose

Time: 1853.28

it it's the same way with pathways and neurological patterns that ones that you

Time: 1859.34

use get reinforced the ones that you don't wither away so if you practice

Time: 1865.04

your depressing thoughts a lot get one guess what you're going to be depressed

Time: 1868.94

if you practice your happy thoughts a lot you will be happy the problem is

Time: 1875.24

that we believe that it's the world around us that dictate our thoughts that

Time: 1880.73

dictate our reactions and that's not the case we've just learned to interpret it

Time: 1885.71

that way

Time: 1887.93

so what does it mean to think well it means we need to learn how to feel good

Time: 1896.39

it doesn't happen by accident it doesn't happen when things in our

Time: 1900.86

lives fall in place because they never will did you know that you will never

Time: 1905.72

get done that's one of the secrets of life you're not gonna one day get to the

Time: 1911.72

end of your life and everything will be done so you can go ahead and die there's

Time: 1917.27

going to be some stuff left over weight when you move on so learn how to feel

Time: 1924.14

good and learn to think about what you want rather than the absence of it

Time: 1931.18

that means focus on the solution rather than the problem and you can you can ask

Time: 1937.52

people all the time well what do you want and they say well I don't want this

Time: 1942.83

I don't want this I don't want this yes but what do you want well I'd like this

Time: 1947.09

but I don't want this and I don't want this a lot of us are so so stuck in that

Time: 1954.59

mode of thinking and it's the conversations that we have with

Time: 1957.44

everybody is about what's wrong so it's a it's a process of learning these

Time: 1963.02

things than it's a choice just for fun you want to stand up we'll do a quick

Time: 1968.78

little demo here yes

Time: 1974.16

just to illustrate that point so if you stand right there and face me I use

Time: 1980.55

something called muscle testing because muscle testing can ask the brain

Time: 1985.08

questions so if you hold your arm out for me and you hold it there real nice

Time: 1991.35

and strong and I'm gonna push down and you resist as strong as you can hold

Time: 1995.55

strong okay and that's nice and strong so most people would say that's a strong

Time: 2003.86

muscle what I would say that is a a strong muscle test where the brain is

Time: 2010.7

able to send a signal strong enough to maintain that muscle so now move your

Time: 2016.16

left leg forward like you're taking a step okay and hold this arm for me again

Time: 2021.17

and hold real nice and strong and now it's not working anymore so what changed

Time: 2028.4

did you all of a sudden lose half the muscle no it's still there so what

Time: 2034.16

changed is the signal from the brain to the muscle your body found a reason to

Time: 2040.66

decrease the signal okay and in this case it's supposed to happen you can

Time: 2046.73

relax for a second it's supposed to happen because when we walk the brain

Time: 2051.2

knows that this doesn't work very well that this works much better so your

Time: 2056.87

brain will send a signal to turn that muscle off in order for you to walk

Time: 2061.4

properly so it's not an accident I picked that on purpose okay but what it

Time: 2068.24

means is we can use a muscle test to find out when the brain is turning

Time: 2073.37

things on and turn things off okay so let's have a little

Time: 2077.679

bit of fun with this and stand and face me oh just some fake feet side by side

Time: 2083.379

so hold realizin is strong and don't let me push down

Time: 2088.22

and then I'll think about something that you like okay an old strong and that's

Time: 2096.869

nice well actually let me do that again

Time: 2102.05

you might want to be careful with that you thought it was something you like

Time: 2106.74

eating or I can't tell you you can't tell

Time: 2110.609

okay all right so what's it on all right all right

Time: 2115.68

so you think about we'll just use a couple of words okay we'll just use the

Time: 2122.97

word appreciation and hold real strong okay and that makes you strong then

Time: 2129.75

we'll say frustration and hatred and it doesn't work the same because they

Time: 2137.28

represent different things in your mind and therefore your brain has different

Time: 2142.44

kinds of output now going back to this the the problem versus the solution now

Time: 2150.39

think of a problem that you're having and don't let me push down

Time: 2157.36

okay and that's not working at all think of the solution to the problem an holy

Time: 2165.33

rock solid so that's what our brain does all the time when we focus on the

Time: 2172.39

problem we're shutting down resources not just to solve the problem we're

Time: 2177.43

shutting down resources for our body for our health when we think about the

Time: 2181.87

solution all of a sudden we're enabling resources and we're getting stuff done

Time: 2186.64

and we're getting help in the process so that's how much all of this matters

Time: 2192.31

thank you very much

Time: 2195.81

and we won't ask what that thing was

Time: 2201.96

we'll teach you some releasing and where were we yes solution rather than the

Time: 2211.3

problem other very well working Thanks our practice appreciation there are

Time: 2218.17

books written on that stop worrying okay do you know what what Woori is it's

Time: 2228.45

anticipating something you don't want that's what it is so here's here's not

Time: 2236.2

worse there are there are two kinds of things there are things that you can do

Time: 2242.02

something about but if you can do something about them then you don't have

Time: 2247.57

to worry about them you just do it don't worry the other kind of thing is are

Time: 2253.12

things that you can't do anything about but if you can't do anything about them

Time: 2258.76

you don't have to worry about them right so that encompasses all possible things

Time: 2265

things you can do something about what things you can't do something about and

Time: 2268.42

me that one of them makes any sense to worry about and yet how much time do we

Time: 2275.62

typically spend okay so practicing thinking practicing

Time: 2281.39

feeling good encompasses learning to think and and reason and sort of

Time: 2286.22

deselect things that we don't want mind over matter

Time: 2291.56

that is a little cliche but I love it because what it really means is if you

Time: 2297.619

don't mind it doesn't matter hmm okay and that

Time: 2302.18

means that you accept what things are you you stop offering resistance and

Time: 2309.849

resistance is a mental thing we look around and we see things that

Time: 2314.84

aren't the way that we want them and then we have two choices we can try to

Time: 2319.55

change the thing or we can change how we feel about it and most people do the

Time: 2325.19

third thing they resist it they worry and they fret and they feel

Time: 2329.48

bad about it they don't change it and they don't

Time: 2332.09

accept it and it makes no sense so mind over

Time: 2336.92

matter if you don't mind it doesn't matter so just let things be as they are

Time: 2342.38

and the ones that you can't change and want to change you do leave the rest to

Time: 2348.38

them to themselves and then understand that you can change your beliefs you can

Time: 2357.59

choose your beliefs that we think that oh well this is my belief system this is

Time: 2363.65

this is how it is a belief is nothing more than a thought you have practiced

Time: 2368.96

over and over that's what beliefs are and you can change them so choose some

Time: 2376.73

that worked for you and get to it so this is a very brief overview I don't

Time: 2385.19

expect you to to sort of grasp all of this all at once but I'll give you some

Time: 2391.94

resources and again you can look back at some videos so some suggestions to

Time: 2396.92

practice to learn thinking well that starts with breathing exercises I cannot

Time: 2403.76

emphasize that enough and there's a whole seminar on that just breathe

Time: 2408.65

slowly five to ten minutes twice a day Plus every chance you get when the

Time: 2414.56

computer freezes when you're sitting at a traffic light when you click the print

Time: 2419.72

icon and it takes 30 seconds you have time for two breaths okay it's perfect

Time: 2427.22

then you learn also gradually to add a positive emotion and to clear your mind

Time: 2433.07

and now before you know it you've changed your breathing into meditation

Time: 2437.02

and meditation is not about chanting and yellow robes chant meditation is about

Time: 2443.45

feeling good and learning to clear your mind giving your body some peace so that

Time: 2449.42

it can get on with what it's supposed to do

Time: 2453.19

I would recommend do whatever you can and work up to when you can do a 10 to

Time: 2459.28

15 minutes once or twice a day I don't think there's anything else that you can

Time: 2463.839

do that has more benefits for your health and your joy and your well-being

Time: 2467.589

and your success than than to do that and here's a controversial one that I

Time: 2473.859

would say that I would recommend stop watching news there's nothing in there

Time: 2480.94

you have to know there really isn't if there's some crucial stuff that that

Time: 2486.67

your career depends on or some things you have to know there are sources where

Time: 2491.8

you can find that out once a week in five minutes

Time: 2496.14

but the watching of the news every day just reinforces the world trying to tell

Time: 2502.18

you how bad things are so just don't do it you'll be amazed give give it two

Time: 2509.589

years and practice this stuff stop watching news create your your own

Time: 2514

thoughts and vibration you'll be amazed stop listening to gossip when people

Time: 2520.9

start complaining about what things are then change the subject walk away do do

Time: 2527.65

something just don't notice when people are doing it and don't buy into it and

Time: 2533.25

if you lose some friends over it you'll get new and better ones then I would say

Time: 2540.91

read books and/or listen to some sort of uplifting programs or courses or videos

Time: 2547.72

or tapes or CDs just start putting in something positive rather than the

Time: 2552.94

television and and the mainstream default input you start putting in

Time: 2557.8

something else and before you know it you'll have some different beliefs spend

Time: 2564.55

less time at looking at what is and more time looking

Time: 2568.61

what if and this goes all hand-in-hand with with the other things we talked

Time: 2573.2

about so what what can we hope to accomplish with that what's the priority

Time: 2578.09

we'll first it will get you healthy it will provide the positive vibration that

Time: 2585.68

your ecosystem requires your system your health cannot thrive without it it's

Time: 2591.74

required so do enough to feel good then you'll find that you get more out of

Time: 2598.22

life you learn to enjoy the present moment you learn to enjoy where you are

Time: 2603.38

you find more things to enjoy wherever you go and you'll get more energy more

Time: 2609.05

happiness more joy and in doing this don't try to change anybody else don't

Time: 2616.79

worry about anybody else just create so much momentum for yourself that you lead

Time: 2623.66

by example and that they can't help but want to follow and get curious about

Time: 2628.67

what's going on with you

Time: 2631.99

number 14 cartoon time so most people now say well you know this is also good

Time: 2639.83

but I'm so busy does that thought occur to anybody I'm gonna like to live well

Time: 2647.6

what fits your busy schedule better exercising an hour a day or being dead

Time: 2651.8

24 hours a day so one of my favorite metaphors is don't be like the

Time: 2659.06

lumberjack and the lumberjack was this guy there was a whole team of lumberjack

Time: 2664.55

but one of them he was always far behind and the the management came and checked

Time: 2672.53

up on him and it is lacy is not doing his job well it turned

Time: 2677.08

out he was working harder than anybody else he came there first in the morning

Time: 2680.86

and he left last at night and he could never get as much done so they went and

Time: 2685.78

checked up on him and they found out that everyone else had really really

Time: 2690.13

sharp axes and his was just terribly terribly dull so they asked him well why

Time: 2697.06

don't you sharpen your axe and he said are you crazy I'm so far behind why

Time: 2702.58

would I have time for that okay so all of what I've talked about here is

Time: 2709

about sharpening your ax it doesn't take time it looks like it takes time but it

Time: 2714.73

gives you life it gives you all the things that you really want last I've

Time: 2719.2

just listed some resources and you can check with me depending on how

Time: 2724.06

interested in open-minded you are which you may be looking for there's a couple

Time: 2728.14

of links and if you just type those straight in that's a webcast but Oprah

Time: 2735.49

did that is absolutely phenomenal there's there's ten videos each of

Time: 2741.46

between an hour and a half and two hours where she sits down and talks with one

Time: 2746.17

of my favorites teachers at carte Ola there's no charge

Time: 2750.49

you just go in there and look at it and they're talking about a lot of these

Time: 2754.87

things about why do we worry why do we do the things that we do and Oprah is a

Time: 2761.14

is a wonderfully conscious and forward-looking person so that's a great

Time: 2766.6

resource the second one is you can sign up for a daily news

Time: 2773.91

and it's just a little work to give you some some upliftment but another one of

Time: 2779.88

my favorites called Abraham Hicks and

Time: 2785.15

you can talk to me about that one also if you're open-minded no problem but

Time: 2790.41

some people are yeah they have some issues it's some of the most wonderful

Time: 2796.98

truths and uplifting simple ways of looking at things that I have ever come

Time: 2802.32

across I've listened to hundreds of hours and it just comes back to me super

Time: 2807.81

fresh and exciting then there's some books and there's some authors so I

Time: 2816.24

won't go over those but just talk to me if if you're interested in don't be like

Time: 2820.65

the lumberjack you take some time spend 15 20 30 minutes a day reading through

Time: 2826.95

some things that will give you new ways of looking at things that will give you

Time: 2830.46

energy and that may be the best thing that you do so I would like to thank you

Time: 2838.41

very much for coming hope you enjoyed it hope you got

Time: 2842.55

something out of it so please feel free to ask any questions we'll do this again

Time: 2846.9

next week I don't know what the topic is yet but we always keep moving forward

Time: 2851.52

and feel free to bring someone that you care about that needs to know this stuff

Time: 2857.94

but don't force them thank you very much
