46: Justin S Grant: Finding Synergies Between Business and Spirituality – Even for Busy People!
Spirituality is something that seems quite elusive in a hyper-notified, always-on world where we're glued to our screens, engaged in FOMO, doom-scrolling, or curating our Instagram feed to portray a perfect social and professional life. Justin S. Grant, however, has found a way to artfully blend these two worlds in his book Spirituality for Busy People (an abbreviation of his earlier work Business and Spirituality). In this episode, the Los Angeles, California-based author, entrepreneur, singer, and mentor speaks with Untether Your Life host Nikhil Torsekar about many topics, including: The distinctions between the views of psychology in eastern and western views, and how some consider Buddha (not Freud) to be the father of modern psychology The roots of FOMO, doom scrolling and other modern technology-driven behaviors, in our primal "reptilian brain-based" need for survival A deep dive into the concepts of transformational psychology, and Justin's lifelong passion for the wisdom traditions and Eastern and Western spirituality The destructive impact of poor diet (i.e., refined sugar) on physical and mental health Nikhil and wife Shelly Sood's work on advancing the mantra of "owning your own health" and embracing holistic treatment modalities beyond just surgery, medication, and cognitive behavioral therapy The evolution of Spirituality for Busy People into an highly impactful online platform with visualization meditation videos, worksheets, one-on-one Zoom calls and much more

00:00:03,100 --> 00:00:06,000
If the eyes are the window to
the soul, what is the path to
3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,200
the soul?

00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,100
exist?

Thanks so much Justin for
27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,200
joining.
Yeah, thanks for having me here.
28
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,700
Thank you.
Looking forward to talking so
29
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:36,200
thank you for that introduction.
Well, I'm from Santa Barbara.
30
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,000
California has he mentioned any
and California?
31
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,900
And maybe much of the West Coast
of the US is the farthest west.
32
00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:48,100
Basically the US and also that
puts us near the East and a
33
00:01:48,107 --> 00:01:51,300
sense.
So in Santa Barbara for those
34
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:54,000
reasons and perhaps there's a
good blending of Eastern and
35
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,200
Western philosophy and
spirituality.
36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,900
So I grew up in a home.
That was very open-minded about
37
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,800
different wisdom, traditions of
the world and didn't push
38
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,300
anything particularly hard on
me.
39
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:10,800
But allowed me to explore all
those things on my own and when
40
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,100
I became college-aged in went to
UC Santa Barbara is when my
41
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,600
passion for studying these
wisdom, Traditions really caught
42
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:24,100
fire and I was involved at UC
Santa Barbara and studying
43
00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:27,000
comparative religions both
Formerly at school as well as
44
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,100
just in my free time and also
was in The Gospel Choir, which
45
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:34,100
was a wonderful experience.
And, you know, in addition to
46
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,100
praising the Lord and song, I
also learned how to sing and
47
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,300
clap at the same time, which is
a skill.
48
00:02:39,300 --> 00:02:42,900
I was not born with and also
join, what was called the bhakti
49
00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:47,700
yoga and bhakti means love or
devotion in the Hindu tradition.
50
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:52,100
So it also is praising.
The Lord just in a different
51
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:55,200
language and also in a different
tradition but oh, beautiful on
52
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,300
you.
Physical and all life changing
53
00:02:57,300 --> 00:03:01,200
for me in many ways.
And then after college, and in
54
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,200
my young adulthood, I just
continued to study both music
55
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,500
and spirituality.
Then in my late 30s, decided to
56
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:13,400
formalize, my trainings and
understandings and to get a
57
00:03:13,408 --> 00:03:17,200
Masters Degree in
transformational Psychology and
58
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,400
psyche means Soul originally and
ology means the study of.
59
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,200
So psychology is the study of
the soul and transformational
60
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:30,500
ecology implies it's about
studying the soul in a way that
61
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:33,900
is geared towards personal
transformation tour, deep
62
00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:39,100
healing, and turning our traumas
that we all have in life into
63
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:42,800
something positive and turning
our Darkness into beautiful
64
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,100
burning light and then being
empowered to go out and help our
65
00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:51,200
needy world with in the west
Sigmund Freud, goes hand-in-hand
66
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,300
with psychology is one of the
most famous psychological
67
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:58,600
geniuses Would talk of
spirituality sometimes but still
68
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,600
was something of an atheist.
So anyway, he reinterpreted the
69
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,300
term psyche, the Greek term
psyche for soul, he called
70
00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:08,900
psyche mind.
So that's a bit more of a
71
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:12,200
scientific way of describing the
soul a bit more modern.
72
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:17,200
And then in my studies I've come
to believe and understand
73
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,000
psyche.
And soul psyche, soul and mind
74
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,400
is all really synonymous terms,
right?
75
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:26,500
And what else is interesting
that Ben's back around to, the
76
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,900
transformational aspect of the
psychology that I've studied in
77
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:33,700
practice is Freud.
He designed the therapist scene
78
00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:36,300
and chair with the patient line
on the back of the couch.
79
00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:39,500
Because originally, he was
sitting in a chair opposite, the
80
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:42,500
client sitting in chair and he
said he just got tired having to
81
00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:45,600
look at people all day long.
So that's why you told me to lie
82
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,000
down on the couch.
Interesting.
83
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,900
Yeah, that's fun.
Anyways, man, it sounds like
84
00:04:49,900 --> 00:04:51,200
yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
85
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,200
And the other thing is he
humorously said and so
86
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,600
Terrifyingly said that therapy
ends when either the therapist
87
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,600
or the patient dies so pretty
Grim.
88
00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:04,700
Right?
Right.
89
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:07,400
So I mean he was just kind of
admitting that the system that
90
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,700
he popularized practices whole
life like talking about her
91
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:16,000
problems was leading people to
what he called normal Neurosis.
92
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,100
So just like ignore manageable
like within an acceptable level
93
00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:21,300
then.
Yeah, right.
94
00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:23,100
Right.
And what's interesting is I
95
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:25,700
talked about how Freud is
identified as the Other of
96
00:05:25,700 --> 00:05:28,000
psychology here in the west, but
all great.
97
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,500
Spiritual teachers were
incredible psychologists.
98
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:33,900
And the one that we call the
Buddha who lived 2,500 years
99
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:37,800
ago, many would consider him to
be the ultimate in the original
100
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,300
psychologist.
You know.
101
00:05:39,300 --> 00:05:41,900
Hmm.
Interesting food has been called
102
00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:46,500
a doctor of Souls and also
Buddhism really likes to use the
103
00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:51,200
term mind more than Soul.
So there's a lot of synergy and
104
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,100
what's incredible about Buddha's
teaching is that he's trying to
105
00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:58,400
lead people on to Enlightenment
and Nirvana you know, Nirvana
106
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,000
beaned synonymous with heaven
and side, you know, not heaven
107
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,100
when you die but living Heaven
inside.
108
00:06:04,100 --> 00:06:08,000
So the point is Buddha's
psychology, came thousands of
109
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,100
years before Freud's and rather
than this goal of normal
110
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:16,900
Neurosis which again is that
they G Buddhism preached finding
111
00:06:16,900 --> 00:06:20,000
nirvana in the slide through
transformational psychology?
112
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,600
Yeah.
And then the quote is all desire
113
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,800
leads to suffering, right?
So it's all about, Seeing that
114
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,800
hedonistic emphasis on material
Pursuits.
115
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,500
One of the things that in my
experience plays into this is
116
00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:35,400
technology and that's what I
found.
117
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,000
Very interesting about your
background because you know, you
118
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,000
would talked about very early on
in your career you started a
119
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,800
technology consultancy firm,
then that's what I found.
120
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,700
Very interesting was just that
something that's very scientific
121
00:06:47,700 --> 00:06:50,800
and very binary and cut-and-dry
versus something like
122
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,800
spirituality which is very fluid
and very, you know, it's the
123
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,700
whole masculine and feminine.
Energy.
124
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,800
And in my experience, I feel
like technology.
125
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:03,400
The intention was to make our
lives easier and increase
126
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,900
channels for collaboration where
as you know we are more
127
00:07:06,900 --> 00:07:10,500
inundated with negativity, you
were Doom, scrolling were full
128
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:14,500
mowing where all the key
ingredients of anxiety and
129
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:17,100
depression.
So I wanted to get your take a
130
00:07:17,108 --> 00:07:19,900
little bit more, you know,
because you've obviously had
131
00:07:19,900 --> 00:07:23,300
feet in both world.
So to speak about your thoughts
132
00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:28,000
about technology and Impact on
mental well-being.
133
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,300
In today's society, spirituality
and the soul is going
134
00:07:32,300 --> 00:07:36,500
hand-in-hand, but really every
branch of constructive human
135
00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:41,000
endeavor is an expression of
spirituality of Soul light as it
136
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,000
were.
And again, we witness this in
137
00:07:43,008 --> 00:07:45,300
nature in the seven colors of
the rainbow.
138
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,800
So, in addition to the
expression of religion and
139
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,500
spiritual activity, you know,
also education is an expression
140
00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:55,200
science, which would include
technology.
141
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:59,000
She is an expression
communication politics are all
142
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,100
expressions of divinity.
So technology was really into
143
00:08:03,100 --> 00:08:07,000
computers were my first love in
life, you know, some my passion
144
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,900
and what enthralled me and yeah
they're very much just as much
145
00:08:10,900 --> 00:08:15,000
can be an expression of
spirituality as something like
146
00:08:15,100 --> 00:08:19,600
religion and devotion as well.
So there's nothing non-spiritual
147
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:24,200
about scientific activity,
including technology and
148
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,900
business, of course.
The title of my book is business
149
00:08:26,900 --> 00:08:29,600
and spirituality and
emergencies, and you're also
150
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,100
talking about, you know, how to
technology, and spirituality
151
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,200
merge.
Because again, any constructive
152
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,500
human activity can be considered
a spiritual activity and yeah, I
153
00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:43,200
do think the technology can and
does enrich our lives, and so
154
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,600
many ways.
But also those animal instincts
155
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,500
that we talked about earlier,
which really are associated with
156
00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:55,400
survival, with fear and greed,
or perhaps, fear and desire And
157
00:08:55,700 --> 00:08:59,400
those are all in folded into our
technology Expressions as well.
158
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,100
And so yeah.
Like you said, umm, scrolling
159
00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:05,200
and fomo, that's natural and it
before we were scrolling on our
160
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,200
phones.
We were driving by car
161
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,100
accidents, on the freeway, and
everybody stops and turns.
162
00:09:10,100 --> 00:09:13,300
And yeah, the psychological
reason for that is sound and
163
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:17,700
that again at our core.
We are animals in the jungle,
164
00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:21,300
trying to survive and it's a
better safe than sorry
165
00:09:21,300 --> 00:09:24,200
situation.
We would rather mistake that
166
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,900
stick on the ground.
Or a snake and avoid the stick
167
00:09:28,900 --> 00:09:31,900
or snake than, you know, just
assume it's a stick and then
168
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
step on a snake and get bit,
right?
169
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,700
And so when we drive by the car
accident, or we're doomed
170
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:39,500
scrolling online.
The psychological reason for
171
00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:43,300
that, is that our subconscious
mind or ripped Hylian root of
172
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:46,200
our brain, is trying to figure
out how we could have avoided
173
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,200
that deadly situation.
That's why we're so addicted to
174
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,300
these Dooms scenario.
We're trying to subconsciously
175
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:54,800
wonder how the animal and US
wants to know how we could have
176
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,800
avoided.
Added a deadly situation for
177
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,300
ourselves.
Yep.
178
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,100
And then the problem is when
that anxiety provoking situation
179
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:06,700
is past but that feel of dread
you know the cortisol the
180
00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:09,600
sympathetic nervous system is
still activated, the fight or
181
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,200
flight.
And so that's what we talked
182
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,100
about in our platform and our
book and our movie is just about
183
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,900
taking control and owning your
health and not just accepting
184
00:10:19,900 --> 00:10:22,000
this as fait, accompli?
Right.
185
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,900
As just thinking that.
Well, you know, I'm constantly
186
00:10:24,900 --> 00:10:28,300
anxious.
I must have this diagnosis and
187
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:32,000
therefore I need to pop this
many pills because my doctor
188
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,100
said.
So because what I always say is
189
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:36,800
that you can sometimes be like a
game of whack-a-mole where it's
190
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,800
like I take one medication and
then another disorder pops up.
191
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,400
And then I have to you know it's
just basically like trying to
192
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:46,300
suppress it.
The analogy is almost like when
193
00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:49,500
you're a kid at the pool and you
push oh bouncing ball down in
194
00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:50,900
the pool.
What do you think happens?
195
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:52,300
Right?
And you talk about this in your
196
00:10:52,300 --> 00:10:55,500
book as well.
Our Mantra, if you will is Own
197
00:10:55,500 --> 00:10:57,700
your health because that's
really the way you're going to
198
00:10:57,700 --> 00:11:01,400
get the best outcome.
Because the human system is so
199
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,100
complex.
What is the concept of owning
200
00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:07,000
your health mean to you and your
experience all?
201
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,800
Well, it's your Mantra.
I want to hear what you have to
202
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,100
say about it.
There's a book on it coming out.
203
00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:13,100
Okay.
Wonderful.
204
00:11:13,500 --> 00:11:15,900
But in a nutshell mean, that's
what I was saying is just that
205
00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:20,200
there are ways to manage your
own well-being and, you know,
206
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,000
you can just go on script you
can go on autopilot and pop
207
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,200
pills.
And there's Other extremes where
208
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,900
you're exercising too much, or
maybe you're hyper Vigilant
209
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:33,300
about the calories.
You are consuming, you know, you
210
00:11:33,300 --> 00:11:36,700
have to find a middle ground.
And so, in my mind, I mean, I
211
00:11:36,700 --> 00:11:39,400
think meditation is super
important.
212
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:42,700
So those are along the lines of
I was looking understanding your
213
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:45,800
experience, like, what is work
for you and maybe the clients
214
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,200
you work with in terms of taking
back that control and owning
215
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,900
your health.
So yeah, like I started out
216
00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:54,500
saying, first of all, I want to
acknowledge that life is hard,
217
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,300
you know?
So So it's not a matter of
218
00:11:56,300 --> 00:11:58,400
wanting to be judgmental on
people.
219
00:11:58,700 --> 00:12:02,900
It's a matter of wanting to try
to share practical spiritual
220
00:12:02,900 --> 00:12:06,500
wisdom, that can help them
gradually transform away from a
221
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:09,600
place of unhealthy and
unhappiness into a place of
222
00:12:09,900 --> 00:12:12,500
radiant health.
And Nirvana, you know, being the
223
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:17,100
ultimate goal Heaven on the
inside here and now and yeah.
224
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:21,400
So on the topic of Health, I
like to start at the bottom on
225
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:26,200
the physical animal expression
of our nature and Americans are
226
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,200
in terrible Health physically
and that's all intertwined with,
227
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,600
you know, being in bad Health,
emotionally, mentally.
228
00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:37,100
And I empathize and understand
that in a lot of places in the
229
00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:40,800
u.s. there are so called food,
deserts where people, you know,
230
00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:45,100
basically can only walk to the
Kwik-E-Mart and fast food.
231
00:12:45,100 --> 00:12:49,600
And so, right, kale smoothies
are not exactly on order, not as
232
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,900
easy to come by, as we like you,
right?
233
00:12:51,900 --> 00:12:55,200
And that's tragic.
But still, if you're eating A
234
00:12:55,208 --> 00:12:58,100
junk food all the time, you're
going to have junk Health but
235
00:12:58,300 --> 00:13:01,900
for those of us who have the
privilege to go to a supermarket
236
00:13:01,900 --> 00:13:06,700
and select, you know, basically
all processed foods are junk
237
00:13:06,700 --> 00:13:09,200
foods.
And basically, they're all full
238
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,800
of refined sugar, which is, it's
a drug, you know, it's a drug
239
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,200
and it's a drug that all of us
are given on our first birthday
240
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,300
with the cake.
Your one-year-old, it's sent
241
00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:20,200
here.
Celebrate with some drugs.
242
00:13:20,300 --> 00:13:21,900
You know, it's literally what
happens.
243
00:13:21,900 --> 00:13:26,200
So, yeah, processed foods are
full of refined sugars % drug
244
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,900
sugar is really what makes us
fat refined sugar.
245
00:13:29,900 --> 00:13:34,500
No sugar without fiber, like
improves and getting away from
246
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:38,000
processed foods and the refined
sugar that are permeate.
247
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,500
Those Foods is step one, so
admittedly that's hard
248
00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:43,100
especially if you live in a food
desert.
249
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,200
And then number two, again, for
those of us who have the
250
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,800
privilege to select our diet
adopting, a primarily
251
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,800
plant-based diet is the way to
get in touch with radiant
252
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,800
health.
With and you know in modern
253
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,200
times we have the luxury of
eating more interesting Foods
254
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,300
than fruits and seeds, but
still, it's right there.
255
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:05,700
In all these teachings, that we
really need to get back to
256
00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:10,600
basics and eating a natural
plant based diet if we want true
257
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,100
health.
And so the heavy animal based
258
00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:16,100
products diet plus all the
refined sugars, it's just
259
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:20,600
created this epidemic of on
health which is, you know, as
260
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,100
the West exports, its junk food.
It's becoming a pandemic of an
261
00:14:24,100 --> 00:14:26,400
elder, right?
And throughout the pandemic, you
262
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,800
know, there is many people
wondering why covid-19 was, you
263
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,800
know, shutting down the world.
When meanwhile junk food has
264
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,200
been wreaking havoc on people's
health for decades.
265
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,400
And there's even articles that I
cited in my books that talk
266
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:45,700
about actually poor diet, kills
more humans every year than the
267
00:14:45,700 --> 00:14:47,300
next ten.
Things combined, you know,
268
00:14:47,308 --> 00:14:53,000
tobacco alcohol, War, terrorism
car accidents.
269
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,100
You know, like it's a poor diet
that skill.
270
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,000
Being most human beings and why
that's not, you know, a global
271
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,800
emergency in the way that
covid-19 became a global
272
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:06,400
emergency is super ironic and
Grim in a lot of ways because it
273
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,600
really is.
It's killing people early but
274
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,400
also it's just dramatically
reducing people's quality of
275
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,000
life you know for their whole
life.
276
00:15:13,300 --> 00:15:15,900
So it's a pandemic really of on
health.
277
00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:19,000
Yeah and then you combine
marketing with that it's an
278
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,300
almost one winnable war and I
don't know if you followed with
279
00:15:22,300 --> 00:15:24,500
the founder of mine Valley
Vision like Yanni he had
280
00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:28,300
actually Done some videos about
this where he's questioning the
281
00:15:28,300 --> 00:15:32,500
positioning of products by
Nestle, where they're pure
282
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:35,400
sugar, but they're positioning
them as, you know, they have
283
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,500
like a child Athlete on the
cover.
284
00:15:37,700 --> 00:15:40,000
And, of course, when a kids
walking through the grocery
285
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,100
store, it's that, you know,
Primal Association of play and
286
00:15:44,100 --> 00:15:48,500
fun and activity with something
that is going to prevent them
287
00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:50,100
from being able to do that,
right?
288
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,600
I mean, these corporations spend
billions of dollars hiring phds
289
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,800
and know.
Neuroscientist to try to
290
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,400
position.
It's not just food but it's
291
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,500
also, you know, these social
media services and it can be
292
00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:05,200
pretty Insidious, I think.
And that's why refined sugar is
293
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,500
a drug period, you know?
So the u.s. tobacco companies
294
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:12,500
aren't allowed to advertise to
teenagers and children.
295
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,900
But since day one, they are
advertising and refined sugar to
296
00:16:16,900 --> 00:16:18,600
people to young people and
children.
297
00:16:18,700 --> 00:16:22,200
So, even though it is a drug,
yeah, in many ways, it is a
298
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,500
pandemic of global proportions.
And, you know, hopefully, Lee,
299
00:16:25,700 --> 00:16:28,400
we can through information
through discussions and
300
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,400
programs.
We can try to curtail its spread
301
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,600
and that kind of segues into my
next question, which is about
302
00:16:34,700 --> 00:16:37,300
spirituality for busy people.
When we first met and you told
303
00:16:37,300 --> 00:16:41,100
me the title, it intrigued me
because spirituality it tends to
304
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:43,800
be something that you think of
that takes, you know, years.
305
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,000
Then you people go on vipassana
Retreat and they're not able to
306
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,900
talk for 10 days.
And then, you know, you think
307
00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:52,600
about that hustle culture, where
you pop your burrito in the
308
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,000
microwave and you want to get on
with your day.
309
00:16:55,100 --> 00:16:57,300
A and get your kids to soccer
practice etcetera.
310
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,300
So I love the convergence of
those two different modes of
311
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,800
Consciousness and reality, tell
me a little bit more about
312
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,099
spirituality for busy people,
like the program.
313
00:17:06,099 --> 00:17:08,000
Specifically, yeah, thanks for
asking the kill.
314
00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:10,400
So again, just backing up a
little bit.
315
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,700
My journey has to gone from
being a lifelong student of
316
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:18,599
compared to religion and unitive
spirituality, Interfaith
317
00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:22,300
spirituality and being open to
wisdom Traditions from any
318
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:25,000
direction, any source, and then
to, right?
319
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,700
A book called business and
spirituality.
320
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,300
There's a dual meaning to the
title business and spirituality
321
00:17:30,300 --> 00:17:34,600
on the one hand, businesses
represent corporations, which in
322
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,900
my opinion, are the dominant,
most powerful entities on the
323
00:17:38,900 --> 00:17:41,500
planet right now, whereas
traditionally the dominant
324
00:17:41,500 --> 00:17:45,700
identities were nation-states
the government's and organized
325
00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:48,800
religions, right?
It used to be these Twin Towers
326
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:54,200
of religions and states.
And now we have this new third
327
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,100
column of Of Corporations and
businesses who have quickly
328
00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:01,500
risen to being more powerful
than all the rest.
329
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:06,600
So it's really vital for our own
self survival as a species that
330
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,500
we culture these businesses,
these organizations so that they
331
00:18:10,508 --> 00:18:14,700
don't you know, with using their
organized versions of animal
332
00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:17,000
instincts.
You know just push us into
333
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,200
Oblivion and species anihilation
so business and spirituality.
334
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,800
The title does refer to these
corporations.
335
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,300
These businesses that So
business means busyness, right?
336
00:18:28,300 --> 00:18:31,000
State of being busy, basically
right?
337
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,500
Yeah.
And all of us basically have is
338
00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:36,900
Enos in our lives, whether we're
a student or a homemaker, or
339
00:18:36,900 --> 00:18:39,900
work at a non-profit or you
know, or can it an actual
340
00:18:39,900 --> 00:18:42,500
business.
So yeah, they're still may need
341
00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:46,200
to business and spirituality the
title and that it affects us as
342
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,200
individuals as well as us
corporately, in whatever sort of
343
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,300
groups that we are part of.
And that more comprehensive book
344
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,200
was a bridge.
Aged into spirituality for busy
345
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,100
people, which again, you know,
busy and business or synonyms in
346
00:19:01,100 --> 00:19:03,800
a sense and yeah, The Abridged
spirituality for busy.
347
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:08,700
People has now been put into an
online course form where we have
348
00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:12,600
15 to 20 minute videos that go
through the micro chapters of
349
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,100
the book and then we have all
sorts of supplemental materials
350
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:22,000
for worksheets homework and
visualization meditation videos
351
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,700
and also invocation activities
in Location being like musical
352
00:19:26,700 --> 00:19:31,100
prayer and chanting which like
all things can be made spiritual
353
00:19:31,100 --> 00:19:35,200
but not necessarily religious.
So the spirituality for busy
354
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,000
people, online course, has this
whole comprehensive set of
355
00:19:38,008 --> 00:19:42,200
teachings + group community
support, you know, in social
356
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,300
media, as well as one-to-one.
Mentoring, the phone calls, and
357
00:19:46,300 --> 00:19:47,700
some calls, and things like
that.
358
00:19:47,900 --> 00:19:50,200
Yeah.
So it's been really marvelously
359
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,900
effective that we can bring
these teachings to Life as a
360
00:19:53,900 --> 00:19:57,300
youth in school.
I I often pondered on how
361
00:19:57,300 --> 00:20:00,300
interesting it was that we get
these textbooks that gave us all
362
00:20:00,300 --> 00:20:03,700
the information we needed.
Then we had a teacher like why
363
00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:05,400
do we need the teacher?
If everything's in the book,
364
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,000
right, right.
And one of the answers is that
365
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,000
teachers are there to answer any
questions.
366
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,800
We have anything in the books
that confuses us and, you know,
367
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,000
so it is with our course but the
other is I came to believe that
368
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,800
the teachers just bring the
books to life, you know, they
369
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,200
bring the teachings to life in
ways that makes it less dry,
370
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:24,600
more interesting and more
inspirational.
371
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,500
And so, Likewise with the
course, version of the book
372
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,500
spirituality for busy people, we
bring it to life and we can help
373
00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:34,000
inspire people and keep them
accountable and give them
374
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,700
structure around actually
creating great changes in their
375
00:20:37,700 --> 00:20:39,800
life.
Because the company that we work
376
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,200
with has said, look in this day
and age information is basically
377
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:48,000
unlimited and free.
So we don't sell information, we
378
00:20:48,300 --> 00:20:52,800
offer our clients transformation
and that's the beauty of taking
379
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,400
something in the book, where
Really it's all there and
380
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,800
adapting it to an online course
with the community and live
381
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,600
teacher, / mentors / coaches and
that we can really help people
382
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,200
get transformation rather than
the just read a book and maybe
383
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,000
pick up some things and get
inspired.
384
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,400
But yeah with the online course
version.
385
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,300
There's just a lot more
intensity and that leads to
386
00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:19,500
transformation which is
comprehensive, you know, as I
387
00:21:19,500 --> 00:21:22,800
say from head to toe or for body
to Soul, you know, it's physical
388
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,600
transformation.
Emotional healing.
389
00:21:25,100 --> 00:21:30,100
Mental clarification, and then
reception of spiritual purpose.
390
00:21:30,300 --> 00:21:32,700
You know, all that transpires
for people who go through our
391
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,900
course or program.
Yeah, I mean as, you know, like,
392
00:21:35,900 --> 00:21:39,100
the whole purpose of the Shelly
story is it's talking about our
393
00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:41,900
journey with mental health.
You know, specifically I had
394
00:21:41,900 --> 00:21:45,300
suffered from bipolar disorder
for more than two decades
395
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:47,900
undiagnosed, finally got the
diagnosis.
396
00:21:47,900 --> 00:21:50,500
And as much as I would like to
say, you know, it snap my
397
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:53,900
fingers and skies parted and all
is well, it's a journey, it's a
398
00:21:53,900 --> 00:21:56,200
process.
But you know, that's why I'm
399
00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,400
always very interested in
looking outside of the norm and
400
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,700
outside of just hop a Prozac or
Papa Wellbutrin and case closed.
401
00:22:04,700 --> 00:22:07,000
Right.
I'm always very intrigued by
402
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,800
programs that look at The Human
Condition and look at ways that
403
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,700
you can affect change with
minimal side effects.
404
00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:18,700
And that's why I saw that your
programs cater to anxiety,
405
00:22:18,700 --> 00:22:21,200
depression, addiction, just
curious.
406
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,200
Could you tell me a little bit
more about maybe some success
407
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,500
stories?
Some people that have really had
408
00:22:26,500 --> 00:22:29,800
some good results as a result
spirituality for busy people.
409
00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:34,600
So it's a comprehensive program
again from body to soul is what
410
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,100
we effect.
But people have different urgent
411
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:42,000
burning needs that attract them
to what we offer in the healing
412
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,600
and transformation that we can
guide them through in ways that
413
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,800
are safe, natural effective and
drug-free.
414
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,500
And definitely, what we find is,
most people are attracted to the
415
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:54,900
program for overcoming anxiety
and depression, right?
416
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,300
Right?
And as we've talked about, I
417
00:22:57,300 --> 00:23:00,800
mean, people have a lot of
financial stress and people are
418
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,700
in poor physical health, in many
ways from no fault of their own,
419
00:23:04,700 --> 00:23:06,800
really.
And yeah, being in poor physical
420
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,000
health.
Absolutely is all intertwined
421
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,000
with emotional and mental health
and you know, leads to anxiety
422
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,300
and depression.
So people come to us seeking
423
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,400
transformation and overcoming
anxiety and depression.
424
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,000
Especially that's our most
popular program.
425
00:23:21,300 --> 00:23:24,900
And we guide them over programs
that are eight.
426
00:23:25,100 --> 00:23:29,300
Clong in two ways to get a
handle on their physical health,
427
00:23:29,300 --> 00:23:32,200
through being more mindful of
the fact that all processed
428
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,900
foods are full of the drug
called refined sugar and
429
00:23:36,100 --> 00:23:39,000
gradually adopting, more of a
plant-based diet.
430
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,800
And then the other, what we call
the secret weapon is something
431
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,800
that I call transformational
cyclic fasting and
432
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,000
transformational talked about
what that means.
433
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,700
Cyclic means doing things in
cycles and regularly and then
434
00:23:54,700 --> 00:23:59,500
that fasting is another
basically almost lost virtue in
435
00:23:59,500 --> 00:24:04,500
our Western culture of Plenty,
right?
436
00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:08,100
We have so much food at our
fingertips, all the time.
437
00:24:08,100 --> 00:24:11,700
And it doesn't really occur to
people to take a break from
438
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:15,100
eating.
But when we do, when we fast,
439
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,100
the results are nothing, less
than miraculous, you know,
440
00:24:19,100 --> 00:24:22,500
fasting is a miracle.
And the reason fasting so
441
00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:26,400
powerful is that digestion, is a
We've a lot of work and we don't
442
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,600
think about it because it
happens, subconsciously.
443
00:24:28,900 --> 00:24:32,100
But if you eat a big New York
steak or something, that's like
444
00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:35,300
telling your digestive system
like, oh, go climb Mount Everest
445
00:24:35,300 --> 00:24:36,900
right now, you know?
It's just right.
446
00:24:36,900 --> 00:24:40,800
It's a huge project.
You just gave your your
447
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,000
digestive equipment.
And there's been, you know, many
448
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,600
clients who have come to us with
anxiety and depression.
449
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,000
And we take them through the
program where they get a handle
450
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,000
on their physical health.
They start fasting cyclically
451
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,000
regularly and They start doing
the other activities which are
452
00:24:57,100 --> 00:24:59,500
spiritual but not necessarily
religious.
453
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,600
Yeah, I mean, just within the
span of eight weeks, people,
454
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:07,000
give incredible physical
emotional and mental healing,
455
00:25:07,300 --> 00:25:11,300
which lifts their anxiety, and
depression in ways that they
456
00:25:11,300 --> 00:25:13,800
haven't known for years, or
maybe forever.
457
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,900
Because, you know, a lot of
people coming to us and we
458
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,500
explore the roots of their
situation and some people were,
459
00:25:20,500 --> 00:25:23,400
you know, seeing the police show
up at their house when there are
460
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,000
five, you know, because Domestic
disturbance and there's
461
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,000
alcoholism.
And the trauma goes just really
462
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,900
deep and you know really early
trauma Kim goes back to the womb
463
00:25:32,900 --> 00:25:35,800
when you know somebody was
getting drunk you know and
464
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:41,000
there's a lot of anxiety so yeah
people really are seeking deep
465
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,300
healing and tips.
Go through our program, get it
466
00:25:44,300 --> 00:25:48,300
and they have transformation and
not only is it incredible to see
467
00:25:48,300 --> 00:25:51,100
the transformation that occurs
just in the span of the
468
00:25:51,100 --> 00:25:56,100
eight-week program.
But unlike the It Western system
469
00:25:56,100 --> 00:25:57,800
up here.
I want you to take these pills
470
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:02,300
for the rest of your breaths.
We Empower people with the
471
00:26:02,300 --> 00:26:06,200
psychological tools that not
only get them tremendous results
472
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,900
in a short time period but also
become part of their being so
473
00:26:09,900 --> 00:26:12,800
that they can draw upon these
safe natural and highly
474
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,800
effective tools for the rest of
the time, they can build upon
475
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,600
it.
They can go deeper draw in these
476
00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:21,000
tools forever and for free, you
know, because it's part of who
477
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,100
they are.
Rather than something external,
478
00:26:23,100 --> 00:26:27,600
like take this pill or Surgery.
Yeah, I mean that's a lines.
479
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,900
Also with we have a stem cell
therapy business too, and it's
480
00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:34,200
all about harnessing the body's
own healing capabilities rather
481
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,200
than bringing in something for
and that's going to maybe mask
482
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,700
symptoms, but also potentially
introduced, a whole host of
483
00:26:41,700 --> 00:26:44,700
other problems.
So I think really is just that
484
00:26:44,700 --> 00:26:48,500
ownership and really going
within mentally, physically,
485
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:50,700
spiritually, which is so
important.
486
00:26:50,700 --> 00:26:53,500
And I think that's why what
you're doing is so important.
487
00:26:53,500 --> 00:26:55,900
What is on the horizon?
For Justin Grant.
488
00:26:55,900 --> 00:26:57,700
What's the next chapter look
like for you?
489
00:26:57,900 --> 00:27:01,500
Yeah, so the book spirituality
for busy people has been adapted
490
00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:04,600
into the online course with the
same name and everything we do
491
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,300
is available at our website
spirituality for busy
492
00:27:07,300 --> 00:27:12,000
people.com, and then also on
socials were at spirituality for
493
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,600
busy people.
So really, it's really just
494
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,200
growing these programs.
You know, it's taken me years
495
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:23,000
and decades to gather this
wisdom which didn't come for me.
496
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,800
It came from spiritual genius.
Of the past that we all have the
497
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,600
incredible luxury of standing on
their shoulders as we say and
498
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,300
then we even folded it into
something that's practical and
499
00:27:35,300 --> 00:27:40,300
accessible and spiritual but not
necessarily religious to be
500
00:27:40,300 --> 00:27:43,900
attractive to people of all
sorts of different beliefs
501
00:27:44,100 --> 00:27:46,600
systems.
And yeah so it's been a
502
00:27:46,608 --> 00:27:48,500
tremendous effort to get all
this together.
503
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,300
Really, what's next is just to
grow the program and to bring
504
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:54,800
more people through so that they
can get individual healing.
505
00:27:54,900 --> 00:27:58,500
NG which naturally will
percolate out into society in
506
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:02,000
way of societal healing and
making the world, a slightly
507
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,200
better place you know one
individual at a time.
508
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,900
Great.
And we've all heard the pithy
509
00:28:06,900 --> 00:28:08,800
phrase.
The eyes are the windows to the
510
00:28:08,808 --> 00:28:12,500
soul, and a less known.
But just, as powerful phrase, is
511
00:28:12,500 --> 00:28:15,200
that the breath is the path to
the soul.
512
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,800
So, one of the meditations that
we guide people to and is
513
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,900
available free for people who
just sign up to learn more about
514
00:28:21,900 --> 00:28:24,800
our program is breathing
meditation.
515
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:30,300
Where it's as simple as getting
still and concentrating on the
516
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:33,300
sensations of the breath
incoming and outgoing through
517
00:28:33,300 --> 00:28:35,600
the notes.
Because again, the breath is the
518
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,300
pathway to the soul.
So if we have anxiety and
519
00:28:38,300 --> 00:28:43,200
depression, one of the quick
fixes which is safe, natural and
520
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:48,100
effective, is to just meditate
on the breath coming in and out
521
00:28:48,100 --> 00:28:49,600
of your nose.
You know, if you can do it for
522
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,100
30 seconds, that's better than
nothing.
523
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,800
You can do it for three minutes
that's much better than nothing.
524
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,900
And really You can get your
human self, your animal self, as
525
00:28:57,900 --> 00:29:00,900
it were more in touch with your
soul self, your higher self.
526
00:29:00,900 --> 00:29:06,800
And we do that to find peace and
joy and spiritual purpose just
527
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,300
throughout our day.
So that's one of the basic
528
00:29:09,300 --> 00:29:13,100
techniques that we offer people
spirituality for busy people.
529
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:17,400
Clients is to do the simple
breathing meditation and pardus
530
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,800
the fact that the breath is the
path to the soul.
531
00:29:20,100 --> 00:29:21,200
Excellent.
Okay.
532
00:29:21,700 --> 00:29:23,800
