I met this week's guest Neil

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,599
bakshi on an Instagram live
hosted by a mutual friend.

20
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:08,400
Shawnee was also very much into
solo breath the methodology

21
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,100
developed by another previous
guest on this show neeraj Nayak,

22
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:15,300
his background aligns very
closely with mine on many

23
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:16,900
fronts.
So I was delighted to have them

24
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:19,900
on the show.

00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:38,500
He's a former Goldman Sachs
investment banker and left.

31
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:40,700
His vice president title to
bring the benefits of

32
00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:43,500

Additionally, he's the author of
the book banking on Angels,

34
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:50,900
which discusses this transition
and much more and with that.

35
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,900
Let's get untethered.
Yeah.

36
00:01:52,900 --> 00:01:55,000
No.
That's that's all fantastic.

37
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,300
I mean there's a number of other
hats I wear.

38
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,200
I co-own a yoga studio.
Video, I teach breathwork and

39
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,800
meditation.
I host a number of Retreats

40
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,900
around the country and around
the world.

41
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:10,100
And it's been a really fantastic
Journey over the course of the

42
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:13,500
last couple years just to see
where life is really taking me

43
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:16,600
and where I'm being directed.
And as we currently speak, I'm

44
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,800
also in the development phase of
a product line for Spiritual

45
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,000
products, and trying to bring
various types of spiritual

46
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,300
products into the mainstream, as
you mentioned.

47
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:31,400
And that's something that
Personally just find as a fun

48
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,300
creative outlet and something
that I just feel called to do to

49
00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:37,800
share spirituality in a more
tangible way because it's often

50
00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:40,000
very metaphysical and very
athira.

51
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,400
Canned, how do we allow people
to feel a little bit more of,

52
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,000
okay.
Like now we're carrying the

53
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,300
symbols that are aligned with
the things that we believe and

54
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:51,500
those kinds of things.
So it's a very multifaceted

55
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:53,800
Journey that's been evolving
over the past few years.

56
00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:55,800
Yeah.
And it's been really incredible.

57
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,000
Just to see on.
I think we had connected because

58
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,300
I had seen Mean whatever
Instagram lives with a mutual

59
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:04,800
friend of ours, Shawnee, who is
a breath / coach.

60
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,200
And I think we'll just Dive In
by talking about one of the

61
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,100
topics that you had addressed on
that which is sort of this

62
00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:12,900
marrying and I think you're the
title of your book does this so,

63
00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:16,100
well, is this marrying of these
two different worlds, which is

64
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:19,700
financial services, which is a
very type, A driven type of

65
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:23,500
place and the world of
meditation breathwork

66
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:26,800
spirituality and energy healing.
No, but if we could just dive in

67
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,700
and just maybe talk about how
you made that, From Financial

68
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:34,200
Services over to this more
etheric hyper world.

69
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,100
The story and the journey
actually starts way, far back

70
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:41,200
and saw start at five years old,
where I started to meditate and

71
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,100
my parents raised me on a
spiritual path, which was

72
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:47,400
created by a an Indian Guru who
came to United States in the

73
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,500
1920s, his name was parmesan,
say Yogananda, he created a

74
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:55,400
spiritual path called
self-realization Fellowship,

75
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,600
which is the pretenses
self-realization through

76
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,900
meditation and Scientific and
ancient yogic techniques of

77
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:05,400
meditation and over the course
of my childhood and upbringing.

78
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,800
I meditated, but it wasn't
something that I was very

79
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,500
intentional about.
It was something that my parents

80
00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:12,600
wanted me to do that.
I went with them to do that, but

81
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,500
it wasn't something that really
grew out of my own volition.

82
00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:20,800
I saw close family friends and a
number of sort of uncles in my

83
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,300
life work in the world of
Finance be extremely successful

84
00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:28,100
managing directors, hedge fund,
Founders EC Partners.

85
00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:31,000
All of these amazing things.
And I saw the things they were

86
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,300
able to buy and afford as a
result of that and I wanted all

87
00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:37,900
this material goodies.
So I went to NYU majoring in

88
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:40,500
economics and history and
ultimately worked on Wall

89
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:42,700
Street.
For eight years became an

90
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:45,600
investment banker in leveraged,
finance and structured Finance

91
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,800
at Goldman Sachs structured over
a hundred billion dollars of

92
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,000
high-yield bonds and leveraged
loans and this switch from the

93
00:04:52,008 --> 00:04:54,200
material into the spiritual,
really happened.

94
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:59,700
When in June 2020, my mom went
for a 30-minute outpatient Um

95
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:02,400
surgery to fix a partially torn
ligament in her thumb.

96
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,900
She what couldn't be aroused
after the surgery was in a coma

97
00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:10,600
on life support for three weeks
and that entire situation, then

98
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,900
turned my life upside down.
The first six months were spent

99
00:05:13,900 --> 00:05:15,800
triaging the material needs of
my family.

100
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,800
How do I keep credit cards?
Bill payments, mortgage payments

101
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,100
car payments, everything
happening on time because she

102
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:24,500
managed all of that.
During that time period, we

103
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:27,000
would go really deep.
In meditation for those three

104
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,600
weeks, she was in the hospital
as a And we would send healing

105
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,400
energy and I was very
intentional because I wanted my

106
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,200
mom to live and that was the
real Catalyst for me going deep

107
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,400
into spirituality.
And the first three months of

108
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,700
2021, I started to receive a
message that was you need to

109
00:05:42,700 --> 00:05:44,600
help people.
You need to help people and I

110
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,100
got that message every morning
for 90 days straight and I was

111
00:05:48,100 --> 00:05:50,200
like, okay I have no idea what
this means.

112
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,700
I'm going to need some help to
decipher this, interestingly old

113
00:05:53,700 --> 00:05:56,300
friends from college came back
into my life, who were business,

114
00:05:56,300 --> 00:05:59,300
coaches coaching certification
scheme in my pathway.

115
00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:02,200
Clients immediately started
coming and they saw a profound

116
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,100
results in changes with people
would tell me you changed my

117
00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:08,200
life and they were like, if I
ever write a book, you will be

118
00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:10,800
in my book as someone who
changed my life, and I was just

119
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,500
humbled and in awe.
And I thought maybe this is

120
00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:16,100
something I can do.
Then this, is this fills me up

121
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:19,100
out of a very deep level.
I feel like this is very flowing

122
00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:22,100
for me.
And from there, I started to

123
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,800
explore and be called to things
like, plant medicine therapy.

124
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:29,400
I started to explore Reiki
energy, healing breath.

125
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,900
Work and go really deep into
different modalities soul, audit

126
00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:38,100
courses, and all the.
While in 2021, I had a calling

127
00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:41,800
to communicate with my mom.
So I would talk to my mom, I

128
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,300
would go into meditation.
I would ask for guidance.

129
00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:48,600
I would pray and meditate to her
and simultaneously over that

130
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,900
period of time.
I also started to pick up on

131
00:06:51,900 --> 00:06:55,500
these small synchronicities,
that started to really expand

132
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,300
things, like angel numbers,
things like, different symbols.

133
00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:01,300
I would ask for size.
Signs and receive signs, and

134
00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:02,800
there was something broader
happening.

135
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:07,000
And so, as time went on, I
started to communicate with what

136
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,100
I call to be my angels and
Spirit guides as well as my mom

137
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:13,700
on the other side.
And so over the course of the

138
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:17,400
last about two years, this
ability to communicate with

139
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,300
these Spiritual Beings is really
coming to the Forefront for me.

140
00:07:20,300 --> 00:07:24,200
I now do Angel Card Readings for
people mediumship has

141
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,200
interestingly grown as an
offshoot of that completely

142
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,400
unexpectedly for other people in
these.

143
00:07:29,500 --> 00:07:33,700
Meetings and coaching is just
continue to expand and so it's

144
00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:36,300
been a really fascinating
journey to see.

145
00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:40,100
Yes, I was very engrossed in the
physical material of wanting the

146
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:43,200
money, all of those fancy job
titles cars, houses.

147
00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:47,000
And then life just having a way
of saying, okay, well I know you

148
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,700
want this but we're going to
give you a pretty trying life

149
00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:53,400
situation and that may change
the entire outcome of what you

150
00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:55,400
believe you are and what you
want.

151
00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:59,200
Yeah, I know it's a fascinating
journey and I think I love that

152
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,100
title.
Do banking on Angels because

153
00:08:01,100 --> 00:08:03,400
like I said, it did in Mary's
two very different worlds.

154
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,500
Now, the term angel, I think
when people hear it, there tends

155
00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:09,500
to be this religious
connotation.

156
00:08:09,500 --> 00:08:12,900
But in terms of the classical
sense of the word Angel, it's

157
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:15,100
got a little bit of a different
implication.

158
00:08:15,100 --> 00:08:16,800
Can you talk a little bit more
about that?

159
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,300
You talked about that in your
book as well.

160
00:08:18,300 --> 00:08:22,100
But for people who are listening
maybe just so they can get a

161
00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:25,600
little more nuanced and broader
understanding of the of what

162
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,800
exactly does that mean?
When we talk about angels, the

163
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,700
reason I Them Angels is because
I started noticing these

164
00:08:32,700 --> 00:08:36,600
repeating number patterns
incessantly and as Banker, all

165
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,700
you do is work with numbers.
And so it wasn't just at work

166
00:08:39,700 --> 00:08:42,799
but it was everywhere else.
And I started to look up and try

167
00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:45,300
to understand what is this like
what are these numbers?

168
00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:49,200
And so angel numbers were what
came and I was like, okay, angel

169
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,200
numbers.
And then I started to ask and

170
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:57,800
talk to my mom and I viewed, my
mom as a guardian angel of mine.

171
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,400
I now know that.
She wasn't necessarily a

172
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,700
guardian angel.
She was just another sort of

173
00:09:02,708 --> 00:09:05,000
spirit on the other side,
Angels.

174
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,700
However, are these Spirit guides
you can call them.

175
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,700
And I understand Angels
definitely have a different

176
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:15,300
religious connotation to them,
but the way I view it is, yes,

177
00:09:15,300 --> 00:09:17,600
guardian.
Angels are types of Spirit

178
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,300
guides, their forms of Spirit
guides.

179
00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:23,100
And then, when you think about
archangels, as various other

180
00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:28,000
religions, refer to them, as I
view those archangels, as part

181
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,600
of the angels that I
communicate, However, they are

182
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,400
archetypes.
So you'll have Raphael who's in

183
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,700
angel of healing.
You'll have Michael who's an

184
00:09:35,708 --> 00:09:38,300
angel of protection.
But all of these things are just

185
00:09:38,300 --> 00:09:40,200
archetypes.
If you even look at jungian

186
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,000
Psychology, he talks about these
various archetypes.

187
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,200
You have the warrior the
magician, the lover, the king.

188
00:09:46,500 --> 00:09:49,800
So I view them as simply
archetypes that you call upon

189
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,300
for needing certain things.
People who want to have a child

190
00:09:53,300 --> 00:09:56,200
call upon the Archangel Gabriel,
all of these kinds of things.

191
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,300
So there are symbols that you
call in that have and Is a type

192
00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:03,300
of energy and so everything is
energy as I talk about in my

193
00:10:03,308 --> 00:10:05,500
book.
And so angels are just another

194
00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:08,600
form of Spirit guides, everyone
comes into this world.

195
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,500
With at least one spirit guide,
they know you for lifetimes over

196
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:13,900
and know you better than anyone
else.

197
00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:16,900
And they can only act for your
highest good.

198
00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:19,500
And the highest good of all they
can never cause harm to people.

199
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,300
They can never bring into being
anything that you do not want to

200
00:10:22,300 --> 00:10:26,400
happen, and they will only act
when called upon because they

201
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,400
will never encroach upon your
free will.

202
00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:32,300
So it's Amazing.
Intertwined relationship that I

203
00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:35,200
have with these Spirit guides
and Angels but they are an

204
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,200
integral part of my life and
really an integral part of what

205
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,500
I do is Angel medium to Cochin.
But yeah, no, it's that's

206
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:46,100
fascinating and, you know, being
a parent and I'm helping my kids

207
00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:48,000
with their math homework and one
of the things that I've come

208
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,200
across that I haven't thought
about it a long time as a

209
00:10:50,208 --> 00:10:53,200
Pythagorean theorem from from
grades, which I'd, you know it's

210
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,500
been years.
But interestingly enough you

211
00:10:55,500 --> 00:10:58,000
talk about in the book.
There was another contribution

212
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,900
from Pythagoras Which is the
theory that numbers have their

213
00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:05,700
own vibrational energies.
Maybe if you could talk to me a

214
00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:08,100
little bit more about that
because I find that fascinating,

215
00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:09,700
you know, you talk about angel
numbers.

216
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,700
I'd like to understand a little
bit more about numerology or

217
00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:15,900
just that notion about the
significance of numbers.

218
00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:18,400
And what if what impact it's had
on your life.

219
00:11:18,500 --> 00:11:25,100
I went to Egypt in 2012 last
year, 2022, and I walked into a

220
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:27,700
shop.
It was a gem and Crystal shore

221
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,600
store that my tour guide.
Cousin actually owned and ran.

222
00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:34,500
And so, I started talking to him
and even he started talking

223
00:11:34,500 --> 00:11:38,600
about numerology and the
interpretation of the energy of

224
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,500
numbers.
And as you rightly referred to

225
00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:47,500
Pythagoras, 600 BC, very famous
mathematician, he claims, and

226
00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:50,800
States, at every number, in the
universe, carries a unique and

227
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,700
distinct vibration.
And when those numbers are,

228
00:11:53,700 --> 00:11:56,700
either put into specific
sequences or patterns or put

229
00:11:56,700 --> 00:11:59,300
into repetitive patterns, they
amplify.

230
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,300
The meaning of what that number
means.

231
00:12:01,300 --> 00:12:04,100
And so, that's how I actually
started to communicate with my

232
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:06,400
angels, on the other side, I
would start to see these

233
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,200
patterns.
I would start to First Google

234
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,200
them because I was like, why am
I seeing 444?

235
00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:15,300
Literally everywhere, license
plates buildings, the stock

236
00:12:15,300 --> 00:12:18,800
market, like everywhere.
I was looking and I would then

237
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,900
see sort of a formula or a
understanding of what these

238
00:12:22,900 --> 00:12:26,500
numbers mean as Amplified, and
as singular numbers, and then in

239
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:29,300
meditation, I would go in and
ask my guides.

240
00:12:29,500 --> 00:12:33,300
Angels, my mom the universe,
whatever you want to call it.

241
00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:36,200
What do these numbers
specifically mean for me and

242
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,400
just like any other language?
It's easy to say, okay, this is

243
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,300
what the specifically means, 444
is Angelic guidance and that's

244
00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:44,600
what that means and you're
right.

245
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,300
You got it.
However what what I've come to

246
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:50,100
realize is that just like any
other language?

247
00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:52,900
There's Slangin languages,
there's different alliances.

248
00:12:52,900 --> 00:12:54,800
Yeah.
It's very tough multi-layered.

249
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,400
Yeah, exactly.
There's like different tones or

250
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,300
inflections different
vernacular.

251
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,500
Ocular, aways it evenly tations.
Yeah, for me, thank you like

252
00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:04,800
Spanish.
For example, you had catalonian

253
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,900
Spanish, you have Mexican
Spanish, you have Spanish from

254
00:13:08,300 --> 00:13:10,900
Guatemala and so like they have
different tones inflection.

255
00:13:10,900 --> 00:13:13,900
Similarly, the language of
numerology is unique to

256
00:13:13,900 --> 00:13:17,200
everyone.
And so while there is a general

257
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,500
blanket and overarching sense of
what these numbers and patterns

258
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:23,800
and sequences mean, right?
It's ultimately unique to you.

259
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,700
And so it's not once, it's not
one size fits.

260
00:13:26,700 --> 00:13:28,800
All right, right, right.
Yeah.

261
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,500
And Let me just ask you, you
know, not to put you in the hot

262
00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:36,900
seat here, but 555, I'm just
curious is what is the rule of

263
00:13:36,900 --> 00:13:39,500
thumb significance to that
number, just curious.

264
00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:42,300
Yeah, that one is changes and
New Beginnings.

265
00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:46,200
So when you see 555, you can
expect that you are entering a

266
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,300
period of change.
You will be stepping into

267
00:13:48,300 --> 00:13:50,000
something that is going to be
new.

268
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,700
You're starting something new
and it's a reminder that.

269
00:13:52,700 --> 00:13:54,700
Yep, you're stepping into
something new.

270
00:13:54,700 --> 00:13:57,500
And when you see these aspects
that unfold for you that are

271
00:13:57,508 --> 00:14:00,300
going to be, it doesn't
necessarily need to To be a huge

272
00:14:00,300 --> 00:14:01,500
change.
It doesn't need to be like, I'm

273
00:14:01,500 --> 00:14:05,100
leaving my job or yeah.
I'm gonna be finding a new life

274
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:08,800
partner or I'm moving a house.
I can be small and simple

275
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,500
changes, it can be small changes
in your daily life.

276
00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:16,600
Small changes in the way you go
about your daily routines but

277
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,400
who typically 555 what I've
noticed with it is you'll tend

278
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,200
to see something bigger than
something smaller in terms of a

279
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,200
new amplification of change or
new beginning in your life.

280
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,200
That's going to be.
Starting the reason I asked that

281
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,400
knee.
It's just, I don't know if

282
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,600
anyone, if people, you know,
readers or friends or people who

283
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,500
have come across your book.
You talk about in the morning,

284
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:40,100
you wake up at 333, is that
that's your, I don't know how

285
00:14:40,100 --> 00:14:43,000
you do that by the way, but
since reading your book, I

286
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,800
started I've actually started
getting up at five fifty five in

287
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,100
the morning.
The reason for that is partially

288
00:14:48,100 --> 00:14:50,100
because, you know, my kids need
to get on the bus, I need to get

289
00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:52,000
them ready.
So I need to have some buffer

290
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,200
time there so I'm not just, you
know, running around like a

291
00:14:54,208 --> 00:14:56,300
headless chicken.
I want to have a little bit of

292
00:14:56,300 --> 00:14:59,900
that bumper time to meditate or
just, you know, have a A cup of

293
00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:02,300
tea or whatever it is.
So I'm just wondering if other

294
00:15:02,300 --> 00:15:04,300
people have come to you and
said, hey, you know, I've

295
00:15:04,300 --> 00:15:07,400
changed my daily habit and I'm
waking up at a certain time.

296
00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:10,400
I love that you say this and I
just got chills down the back of

297
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,800
my head because one of the most
beautiful things that I've found

298
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,300
from writing this book and
having multiple people read it

299
00:15:18,300 --> 00:15:22,200
and people come to me saying, I
feel so much more in tune and

300
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,300
aligned with noticing
synchronicities happening.

301
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:30,700
In my life, people will start to
really pick up on Nuances either

302
00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:35,400
numbers that happen or
relationships or conversations

303
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,600
or meeting specific people or
new people.

304
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,600
I've gotten so many stories from
people saying, I've had this

305
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,300
amazing synchronicity, I just
have to tell you about it after

306
00:15:45,300 --> 00:15:47,700
reading your book.
And so, I think what it does is

307
00:15:47,700 --> 00:15:51,400
it helps you become more
conscious of the smaller little

308
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:56,400
things that we may normally
overpass in our lives that then

309
00:15:56,500 --> 00:15:59,400
have actual deeper.
Meaning, if we allow Ow

310
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,600
ourselves to slow down and be
more present.

311
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,500
Then the tell me more, I mean,
look, it's like I said, 333 just

312
00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:08,300
seems like, you know, an ungodly
hour to wake up.

313
00:16:08,300 --> 00:16:11,400
I'm just, I'm just curious.
What is the significance of that

314
00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:14,200
if you could share with people
and maybe, you know, we can

315
00:16:14,500 --> 00:16:17,600
start the Neil bakshi challenge
where it's like, let's get up at

316
00:16:17,900 --> 00:16:21,200
three thirty three for a week
and see, you know how how we

317
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,300
feel.
But curious, what is the

318
00:16:22,300 --> 00:16:24,400
significance of that specific
time stamp?

319
00:16:24,700 --> 00:16:26,000
Yeah.
So it actually started when I

320
00:16:26,008 --> 00:16:29,200
was working at Goldman and
because of the incredibly long.

321
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,200
Hours.
I would only have my time in the

322
00:16:32,208 --> 00:16:36,100
morning to be the time that I
could go to work out go to take

323
00:16:36,100 --> 00:16:38,500
care of myself, meditate,
whatever, whatever it really

324
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:43,400
was, and it started at 4:30.
And then what happened is after

325
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,700
I started to go deeper and
deeper into meditation.

326
00:16:45,700 --> 00:16:50,500
I started to realize that my 5
10 15 minutes of meditation just

327
00:16:51,100 --> 00:16:53,100
didn't feel like enough for me,
wasn't cutting it.

328
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:57,100
Yeah, I wanted more, it felt
like I wanted to go deeper and

329
00:16:57,100 --> 00:17:01,000
so it's and then increased it.
30 40 and I was like, okay well

330
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,300
I can't keep getting up at 4:30
like the time needs to change

331
00:17:04,300 --> 00:17:06,800
and then I started to
incorporate these various types

332
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,099
of energization exercises as
well, which is consciously

333
00:17:10,099 --> 00:17:13,800
charging the muscles and parts
of your body, with life, force

334
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,000
energy.
And so life force energy is the

335
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,900
same thing that everyone talks
about in terms of Reiki, energy,

336
00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:23,200
universal life force, Prana,
same sort of concept, and even

337
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,400
Chi, if you look at Chinese
medicine, all of these ancient

338
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,400
cultures talk about the same
thing, which is life force

339
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,500
energy.
So that Incorporate all of these

340
00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:33,400
things and I said, okay, I need
more time and then so is shifted

341
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,800
up to 330 because I was still
working at Goldman while going

342
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,300
deeper into meditation and
spirituality and building my

343
00:17:39,300 --> 00:17:43,300
coaching practice and then as in
as kind of a nod to the fact

344
00:17:43,300 --> 00:17:46,000
that I was communicating with
angels, on the other side, they

345
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,100
would send me these numbers and
I would say, okay well if I want

346
00:17:49,100 --> 00:17:53,500
to have that two-way form of
communication, I will get up at

347
00:17:53,500 --> 00:17:57,600
333 just as a nod of
acknowledgement to the fact that

348
00:17:57,700 --> 00:18:00,200
yeah, I want to communicate.
With you back and I want to

349
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,000
create a level of deeper
understanding with you.

350
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,400
Well you know the jury still out
I guess it's too soon to tell if

351
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:11,100
the 555 shift has made a
complete change in my life but

352
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,400
you know we'll see what happens.
Give it a couple of months.

353
00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:17,200
So I want to touch more about,
you know, you mentioned that you

354
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,400
had had worked at Goldman Sachs
and I think you had talked about

355
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,200
this on one of your IG lives,
but the fact is that meditation,

356
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,900
I think is drifting away from
the realm of the etheric, the

357
00:18:27,900 --> 00:18:32,900
wool kind of Meant to Corporate
America, where companies are

358
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,700
seeing the benefits of it, you
know, they talked about among

359
00:18:35,700 --> 00:18:39,000
sure you're familiar with like
Ray dalio Paul Tudor Jones.

360
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,300
But I'm bringing all this up
because there's always the press

361
00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:46,400
release version of reality and
then there's you know what's

362
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:47,700
actually happening in the
trenches.

363
00:18:47,700 --> 00:18:52,800
So I'd like to get your take on,
you know, what the attitude

364
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,400
towards mindfulness meditation
was during your time at Goldman

365
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:02,400
Sachs the attitude was Probably
next to next to nothing and in

366
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:08,300
the last couple of years on my
way out, they converted a coat

367
00:19:08,300 --> 00:19:12,700
closet into a prayer and
contemplation room and that was

368
00:19:12,700 --> 00:19:16,200
for your closet, a coat closet.
I'm sorry, a coat closet, you

369
00:19:16,208 --> 00:19:20,200
said, yeah, it was like a coat
closet like hallway that they

370
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,700
like kind of blocked off and you
they made it into a prayer and

371
00:19:23,700 --> 00:19:27,100
contemplation room, and I
actually would go in there

372
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,500
before client calls.
And I would sit down and

373
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:34,300
meditate even 45 minutes.
And I remember very distinctly.

374
00:19:34,300 --> 00:19:36,900
My boss are other people on my
team would be like, hey, where

375
00:19:36,900 --> 00:19:38,400
you going with this?
Cause like yeah, I'm just gonna

376
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,500
go meditate for a couple
minutes.

377
00:19:39,500 --> 00:19:43,400
I'll be right back and so I
would say that even people at

378
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,400
work on the desk would say Neil
how are you?

379
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,900
So calm and composed all the
time, that would look at them.

380
00:19:49,900 --> 00:19:52,500
And I would say I meditate and
they would just look at me and

381
00:19:52,500 --> 00:19:54,800
they would like roll their eyes
and go back to the desk.

382
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:59,200
And I think now what's happening
is it's starting to be really

383
00:19:59,300 --> 00:20:02,200
Realized that.
Okay, there's scientific proof

384
00:20:02,300 --> 00:20:04,400
as to.
Why meditation is beneficial

385
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,000
increases mortal?
Thickness, it helps you sleep

386
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,000
better.
It helps you really be able to

387
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,800
cognitively discern what's
happening when you able to slow

388
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,400
down the brain wave functions of
your mind and it allows you to

389
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,600
think more clearly in a less
stressful intense State and it's

390
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,200
amazing because my parents came
to the US or 40 years ago and

391
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,300
they would talk about yoga and
people would look at them like

392
00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:30,200
they had nine different heads.
And so now you Ride past the

393
00:20:30,208 --> 00:20:32,600
highway strip mall without
seeing a yoga studio.

394
00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:35,700
Similarly, I think that's
exactly what's happening with

395
00:20:35,700 --> 00:20:40,000
breath, work with meditation,
but energy healing, all of these

396
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,500
modalities people realize
there's something more

397
00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:46,500
happening.
Why do I feel so much better

398
00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:48,400
after a Reiki energy?
Healing session?

399
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,100
Why do I feel incredibly
relaxed?

400
00:20:51,100 --> 00:20:53,900
Clear?
And like, I've released toxins

401
00:20:53,900 --> 00:20:56,600
from my body.
Why does meditation make me feel

402
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,700
so incredibly clear-headed?
So Calm.

403
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,300
So able to tackle difficult
tasks and even handle stressful

404
00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:05,400
situations with Incredible
composure.

405
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,800
Why does breathwork help me
really tap into higher States Of

406
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,100
Consciousness?
And again, I don't want people

407
00:21:11,100 --> 00:21:13,700
to take just my word for it.
I think people need to

408
00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:16,400
first-hand experience and do
these things.

409
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,300
And say, okay, this is something
that I really find a benefit of,

410
00:21:19,300 --> 00:21:21,500
or this is what I feel when I do
these things.

411
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,200
And then from that point in
perspective, they will then feel

412
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,400
motivated to enact it, and put
it into practice in their life.

413
00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:29,100
I always say the proof is in the
pudding.

414
00:21:29,300 --> 00:21:30,700
Right.
And you make a great point

415
00:21:30,700 --> 00:21:32,700
about, you know, don't just take
my word for it.

416
00:21:32,900 --> 00:21:35,600
This is something actually since
you and I last spoke.

417
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,200
We actually have started doing
it with our employees.

418
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,700
We have started doing breathwork
three times a week.

419
00:21:40,700 --> 00:21:43,600
People are saying, like, you
can, you can even tell them the

420
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,700
tone of their voice, they come
into the session, they're very

421
00:21:46,700 --> 00:21:49,500
like, oh, you know, I've got a
case of the Mondays or whatever

422
00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:53,600
the corporate Joe Curry is but
then you know F at the end it's

423
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,000
like the tone of their voice is
very relaxed and there are

424
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,100
behaviors that are different.
There's a little bit.

425
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,400
More gratitude, you know,
there's less reactionary

426
00:22:02,500 --> 00:22:05,600
responses on conference calls,
it's sort of this contagious

427
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,700
effect and that goes into what?
One of the great quotes that you

428
00:22:09,700 --> 00:22:12,200
allude to in the book is, which
is, you know, everything is

429
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,900
energy.
I'd love if you could talk a

430
00:22:13,900 --> 00:22:16,600
little bit more about that
notion because that can be a

431
00:22:16,608 --> 00:22:20,600
very esoteric concept for people
who live in this very like, kind

432
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,600
of cut and dry, show me the data
type of world.

433
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:28,000
We always hear that phrase.
And we always hear these quotes

434
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,300
from Einstein All these other
theoretical physicists.

435
00:22:31,500 --> 00:22:36,300
And what happened for me is I
started to experience the world

436
00:22:36,300 --> 00:22:39,500
as energy forces and I started
and I'll tell you that the real

437
00:22:39,500 --> 00:22:42,900
shift of one I experienced.
This, it was, I was sitting in

438
00:22:42,900 --> 00:22:47,000
my Manhattan studio apartment
and I looked across the street

439
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,800
to the building next to me.
And I started to see the bricks

440
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,100
being comprised of these balls
of energy and of the building

441
00:22:56,100 --> 00:22:58,400
next to me that I looked at the
tree and then I saw the tree

442
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,100
just Of all of these different
balls of energy.

443
00:23:01,100 --> 00:23:04,200
And that I looked at around my
apartment, and I saw the same

444
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,200
thing, and I looked at myself,
and I saw the same thing, just

445
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,800
all these tiny little balls of
Just Energy and like the Quanto.

446
00:23:11,100 --> 00:23:14,700
Yeah, if that's if that's yeah,
really truly that and I was like

447
00:23:14,700 --> 00:23:17,400
this is kind of weird but it
like it wasn't like I was like

448
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,500
hallucinating.
I was just like it was here but

449
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:22,800
like I could see deeper if that
makes sense.

450
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,800
I could like seeing a layer
deeper than what was just on the

451
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,000
facade.
I can still see the facade but

452
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,600
there were also these likes.
All Balls of energy signal is

453
00:23:30,608 --> 00:23:33,900
like, that's crazy.
Everything is created of the

454
00:23:33,900 --> 00:23:37,500
same little balls of energy and
then I started to research and

455
00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:41,100
go deeper into quantum physics.
And then I started to understand

456
00:23:41,100 --> 00:23:44,000
these different theories that
have been placed by amazing

457
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,900
physicist over the course, of
mainly, the eighteen and

458
00:23:46,900 --> 00:23:48,900
nineteen hundreds, but it goes
even further back.

459
00:23:48,900 --> 00:23:52,400
If you talk about, people
discovering atoms as the basic

460
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,600
building blocks and then when
you get even deeper, you start

461
00:23:55,600 --> 00:24:00,900
to understand that everything is
simply these Molecules electrons

462
00:24:00,900 --> 00:24:04,500
and photons, primarily in
constant vibration that are

463
00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:07,400
constantly moving, and
constantly vibrating at the

464
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,400
smallest level of quanta.
If you look at the skin, for

465
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:16,800
example, you see this very hard
solid body of skin solid Mass,

466
00:24:16,900 --> 00:24:19,300
but then you get deeper and you
put it under a microscope.

467
00:24:19,300 --> 00:24:22,400
And then you'll see all of these
small cells moving around, and

468
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,100
then you get even deeper.
And then you'll see the

469
00:24:24,100 --> 00:24:26,800
mitochondria in the cell and
you'll see all of the organelles

470
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,400
and cells.
And if you go even deeper on On

471
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,600
an electron microscope, you'll
start to see the atoms in the

472
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,900
electrons, moving around.
And then you really see if

473
00:24:34,900 --> 00:24:41,300
there's actually 99.999999%
empty space around these atoms.

474
00:24:41,500 --> 00:24:45,100
But these are just atoms and
electrons and photons, and

475
00:24:45,100 --> 00:24:47,600
constant energetic vibration.
There's something called

476
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:52,300
exclusion Zone water, which is
actually the water that we are,

477
00:24:52,300 --> 00:24:57,000
comprised of that, that actually
makes the molecules of our body

478
00:24:57,100 --> 00:24:59,100
vibrate together and move
together.

479
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,500
Gether, which is why when you
feel very dehydrated, you feel

480
00:25:02,500 --> 00:25:05,500
low energy because what happens
is the molecules on the

481
00:25:05,508 --> 00:25:08,900
smallest, level of your body are
enable to be filled enough with

482
00:25:08,900 --> 00:25:11,800
water to vibrate and bounce off
each other, to create the

483
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,900
electricity that you are
actually made of.

484
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,800
And so it's very interesting in
terms of all of these

485
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,500
scientists.
And all of these incredible

486
00:25:19,500 --> 00:25:21,900
polymaths have really done the
research.

487
00:25:21,900 --> 00:25:24,800
And when you just get into it,
you say okay this actually makes

488
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,200
an incredible amount of sense.
And then when you start to

489
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,900
embody that and live from that
perspective, Tip of everything

490
00:25:29,900 --> 00:25:33,700
being energy, you can then
approach situations, even people

491
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:36,500
in your life and relationships.
What kind of energy do I want to

492
00:25:36,500 --> 00:25:40,900
show up to giving this talk to
these high school students that

493
00:25:40,900 --> 00:25:43,300
I did earlier today?
What kind of energy do I want to

494
00:25:43,300 --> 00:25:46,000
show up to going on a new date
with someone?

495
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,700
What kind of energy do?
I want to show up when I have a

496
00:25:48,700 --> 00:25:52,300
meeting with a client, the ways,
I can interact with my energy?

497
00:25:52,300 --> 00:25:54,800
The ways I can connect to
someone and then you think about

498
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,700
energy centers and you talk
about the chakras, you connect

499
00:25:57,700 --> 00:25:59,400
to people on a chakra.
Level.

500
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,500
And so when I even interact with
people one on one, sometimes

501
00:26:02,500 --> 00:26:05,800
I'll start to I learned this
energy technique in terms of you

502
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,700
connect with people at each
chakra.

503
00:26:07,700 --> 00:26:10,900
So you connect the room, connect
the sacral connect the solar

504
00:26:10,900 --> 00:26:13,700
plexus and then you start to see
people in a different light.

505
00:26:13,700 --> 00:26:17,100
You start to connect with them
on a deeper energetic level, as

506
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:19,600
opposed to just the physical
interaction level.

507
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,100
And then, you know, there's
always that expression, you

508
00:26:22,100 --> 00:26:25,700
know, that person gives me Good
Vibes or, you know, I Vibe well

509
00:26:25,700 --> 00:26:28,100
with that person, it's not just
lip service.

510
00:26:28,100 --> 00:26:30,400
I mean, there is real Science to
it.

511
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,800
And I think I was very
interested in reading about the

512
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,700
David Hawkins is it?
The map of Consciousness battle?

513
00:26:36,700 --> 00:26:38,500
If you could talk about that a
little bit more?

514
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,700
Yeah.
So Hawkins has.

515
00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:42,700
He has it?
This map of Consciousness that

516
00:26:42,700 --> 00:26:46,100
he refers to in terms of
starting at these lower

517
00:26:46,300 --> 00:26:49,700
vibrational energies.
And I interpret the map of

518
00:26:49,700 --> 00:26:52,800
Consciousness in a little bit
different way, than how, he just

519
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,400
purely explains it.
But ultimately what, the way he

520
00:26:55,400 --> 00:27:00,500
explains it as he's able to
measure the the frequency coming

521
00:27:00,500 --> 00:27:04,500
off of a human, in terms of how
what is the energy?

522
00:27:04,500 --> 00:27:07,300
It's measurable even emotions
are measurable in hertz.

523
00:27:07,300 --> 00:27:11,400
Who'd when anyone is thinking or
emoting or feeling, you can

524
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,200
measure that energy and hurts.
The heart is the largest

525
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,700
electromagnetic field in the
body and various emotions have

526
00:27:18,700 --> 00:27:20,500
various frequencies.
Attach them.

527
00:27:20,500 --> 00:27:22,700
Gratitude is incredibly high
frequency.

528
00:27:22,900 --> 00:27:25,200
Shame guilt.
Fear are incredibly low

529
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,500
frequencies and so you can
actually map and see.

530
00:27:28,500 --> 00:27:31,700
Dr. Joe Enza talks about this a
lot in his books and his

531
00:27:31,700 --> 00:27:35,100
research as well, you can
actually see the level of energy

532
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,400
and energetic vibration that is
emitted off of a human body.

533
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:42,400
When you raise your elevated,
emotional state into a state of

534
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,900
Joy love Bliss.
Gratitude piece is a very

535
00:27:45,900 --> 00:27:50,300
different sense than anger,
apathy, fear, shame resentment

536
00:27:50,300 --> 00:27:54,100
and you can then start to
elevate the energy in the

537
00:27:54,100 --> 00:27:56,300
vibration that you carry with
yourself.

538
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,000
It's a very conscious act
because oftentimes Times, we may

539
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
just immediately have a life
situation happen that we get

540
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,100
really pissed off.
Like all.

541
00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:06,800
Can't believe this person
totally blew off this call, and

542
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,400
you get really angry, and then
cut me off in traffic or

543
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,300
something, you know, totally.
And so, it's a conscious act and

544
00:28:13,300 --> 00:28:17,700
at, but the way I look at the
Hawkins scale is, how can I

545
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,100
continually move towards higher
energies, and higher frequencies

546
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:25,000
to lift my own State, and level
of Consciousness?

547
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,000
And I actually worked with a
very, very interesting teacher.

548
00:28:29,300 --> 00:28:33,800
Jean-francois brow, who created
a concept of the Soul audit.

549
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:39,400
He utilizes the Hawkins scale in
a way to understand where are my

550
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,700
various energy centers right now
on the Hawkins scale, as it

551
00:28:42,700 --> 00:28:46,400
relates to my own understanding
of energetic vibration.

552
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:51,500
My own Taurus filled my own
heart centered openness and my

553
00:28:51,500 --> 00:28:55,000
own potentially trapped emotions
and how can I raise that to

554
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,600
continually, just open the
heart?

555
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,900
Open the heart, open the heart.
I want to go back.

556
00:28:59,100 --> 00:29:01,800
To something you talked about
certifications because, you

557
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,000
know, you have a good command on
all these different topics

558
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,800
whether its energy healing or
neurology or breathwork, could

559
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,900
you talk a little bit more
about, you know, some of the

560
00:29:12,100 --> 00:29:13,300
items that you have in your tool
kit?

561
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:16,200
Like in terms of the
practitioners that you've

562
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,700
studied under or that you've
gotten certifications?

563
00:29:18,700 --> 00:29:22,500
Just so just so people can
anchor in their understanding

564
00:29:22,500 --> 00:29:24,500
sort of wear where you're coming
from.

565
00:29:24,700 --> 00:29:29,000
It first started with Jay
Shetty, certification school,

566
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,300
For my life coaching
certification.

567
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:36,400
It's a minimum of 120, our
coursework plus live coaching h

568
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:41,300
plus self-assessment and
self-study and I tore through

569
00:29:41,300 --> 00:29:44,600
that in just a couple of months
and I went Above and Beyond in

570
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,400
terms of alive number of
coaching hours.

571
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,900
And then that was just, that was
a really fantastic course to get

572
00:29:49,900 --> 00:29:53,600
Basics on coaching fundamentals
and then Mindvalley is

573
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,700
incredible.
He learning platform where you

574
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,400
basically self study a number of
Courses, any course that you

575
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,800
desire and it gives you micro
learning in 5 to 20 minute

576
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,300
segments on a daily basis that
add up to deliver your course in

577
00:30:07,300 --> 00:30:09,400
anywhere between a week to a few
months.

578
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:12,700
Were there any specific quests
in Mindvalley that resonated

579
00:30:12,700 --> 00:30:13,800
with you?
Yeah.

580
00:30:14,100 --> 00:30:19,800
So the ones that I really loved,
there are a few Duality with

581
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,400
Jeffrey Allen money EQ with Ken
Honda.

582
00:30:23,700 --> 00:30:27,600
The Silva method is a fantastic
one be extraordinary I believe

583
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,800
is one of Visions which is That
as well.

584
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,400
And there were a couple others
that I took 10 x, which is more

585
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,800
physical fitness oriented.
And then, as I mentioned, Kyle

586
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,400
gray, who's an angel expertise
from the UK, he became a medium,

587
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,100
Angel, medium at the age of 15,
so I studied through him and his

588
00:30:46,100 --> 00:30:49,200
course got attuned to the
various angels and even after

589
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,300
doing, Angel readings for two
years, is actually when I found

590
00:30:52,300 --> 00:30:55,500
that he had a course on it, and
then I explored that course, and

591
00:30:55,500 --> 00:30:57,600
so, he even went deeper into
those skills.

592
00:30:57,900 --> 00:31:02,100
And then breath, I work with
Niraj Nike from Soma breath.

593
00:31:02,100 --> 00:31:04,300
It absolutely incredible.
So I'm a certified breathwork

594
00:31:04,300 --> 00:31:08,700
instructor and Reiki energy from
the Minka school in Brooklyn,

595
00:31:08,700 --> 00:31:11,500
New York.
And so they they teach

596
00:31:11,500 --> 00:31:14,500
everything from Psychic
awareness to Reiki energy,

597
00:31:14,500 --> 00:31:18,900
healing too low Hachi, 18th
octave, various types of energy

598
00:31:18,900 --> 00:31:20,800
work.
And what else?

599
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,400
The soul audit course was
jean-francois bra.

600
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:26,500
It's kind of continuous
learning, for me, and continuous

601
00:31:26,500 --> 00:31:28,900
development.
The book A Course in Miracles.

602
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,700
It is a fantastic book as well.
I've kind of just been very

603
00:31:32,700 --> 00:31:34,400
interested in all of these
things.

604
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,600
And so it's been how I would
spend some weekends.

605
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,900
Sometimes, it's just reading or
just learning about this stuff

606
00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:42,900
because it just fascinates me
dr.

607
00:31:42,900 --> 00:31:46,000
Bradley Nelson, the emotion.
Code is another fantastic one

608
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,300
that teaches techniques to
release trapped emotions in the

609
00:31:48,300 --> 00:31:50,900
body parmesan.
Tioga Ananda and the teachings

610
00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:53,900
of self-realization Fellowship
have been invaluable to me,

611
00:31:54,100 --> 00:31:57,100
paramahansa, Yogananda.
I think I talked to you about

612
00:31:57,100 --> 00:31:58,900
that.
I think that book.

613
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,600
Look it's been the clear example
of synchronicity because there's

614
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,400
so many different people that
have come into my life.

615
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,700
That have present company
included for whom that book has

616
00:32:08,700 --> 00:32:11,500
been so pivotal you know whether
it was the founders of our

617
00:32:11,500 --> 00:32:14,600
company Go star or it was Steve
Jobs.

618
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,700
You know that was his favorite
book and then you know when you

619
00:32:16,700 --> 00:32:20,000
mentioned that you were pretty
much raised on that book that

620
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,700
was when that that's what
sparked my interest and you know

621
00:32:22,700 --> 00:32:24,800
that was why I had had reached
out to you.

622
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,900
But yeah, for anybody who's
listening?

623
00:32:26,900 --> 00:32:29,000
I highly recommend reading that
book.

624
00:32:29,100 --> 00:32:32,700
Look, just because what is
really amazing to me kneel when

625
00:32:32,700 --> 00:32:35,300
I think about it is just the
time frame of that because you

626
00:32:35,300 --> 00:32:37,700
have to remember, I think that
book.

627
00:32:37,900 --> 00:32:40,400
Well, the srf I think was
started in like the 20s or

628
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:41,300
something like that.
I don't.

629
00:32:41,300 --> 00:32:44,800
Yeah, yeah, I mean, I don't know
when this specific book was

630
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,100
written but you have to think
about the perception of

631
00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:50,500
spirituality in the world, not
just in the world, but in the

632
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:54,000
United States, if for some one
of indian-origin to come here

633
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:58,800
and have that kind of impact is
just it's truly mind-blowing.

634
00:32:59,100 --> 00:33:02,000
Interestingly today's actually
permanency yogananda's Maja

635
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:06,200
samadhi, which means it's the
day that he consciously left his

636
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,000
body.
Yeah, correct.

637
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,000
So it's very interesting that
we're having this conversation

638
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,000
talking about is today, that is
should that is wild.

639
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,100
Well, okay, I did want to go
back.

640
00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:17,300
Neil.
When I was talking to you

641
00:33:17,300 --> 00:33:20,600
earlier, I think what I had told
you was that one of the things

642
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:25,300
that really impressed me about
the work you're doing, is that?

643
00:33:25,300 --> 00:33:28,900
And a lot of the work you do is
with people who are in these

644
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,700
Very type, A sharp elbowed kind
of environments, you know, our

645
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:37,000
CFOs or entrepreneurs.
Yeah, I know, you're right.

646
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,600
It's people who are working in
finance Consulting, starting

647
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,100
their own businesses,
entrepreneurs Tech Founders CFOs

648
00:33:44,100 --> 00:33:48,100
doctors bio Tech Executives,
even therapists have come to me.

649
00:33:48,300 --> 00:33:50,300
So these are kind of the core
people.

650
00:33:50,300 --> 00:33:53,200
Could you tell me a little bit
more, maybe about what you're

651
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,500
seeing and maybe you know, how
people in these environments can

652
00:33:57,500 --> 00:33:59,000
apply meditation and
mindfulness.

653
00:33:59,100 --> 00:34:02,300
Illness in their practice just
to get better outcomes and just

654
00:34:02,300 --> 00:34:06,000
live a better life.
Not just from a squishy like,

655
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,300
touchy-feely.
Let's sing Kumbaya approach but

656
00:34:08,300 --> 00:34:11,300
also achieve their goals and
everything like that for people

657
00:34:11,300 --> 00:34:14,900
that have no experience.
And no idea doing this.

658
00:34:15,300 --> 00:34:18,300
The first is to Simply remove
the distractions.

659
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,500
So, before we even get into
meditation, we need to

660
00:34:20,500 --> 00:34:22,300
understand what is happening in
terms of.

661
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,100
How are you distracting yourself
right now?

662
00:34:24,100 --> 00:34:25,500
Is it Instagram?
Is it?

663
00:34:25,500 --> 00:34:26,600
Is it?
These dating apps?

664
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,000
Is it just trying to constantly
be busy at work.

665
00:34:29,199 --> 00:34:33,000
Is it over working out at the
gym because all of these signs

666
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,100
are ways that I was personally
distracting myself through

667
00:34:36,100 --> 00:34:37,900
energetic imbalance.
And so first.

668
00:34:37,900 --> 00:34:40,699
It's removing distractions.
Then it's consciously, doing

669
00:34:40,699 --> 00:34:43,000
nothing for just a couple
minutes a day.

670
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,699
Can you just sit with yourself
to just be with you with no

671
00:34:46,699 --> 00:34:50,699
phone with no agenda and just be
with yourself and Lucy.

672
00:34:50,699 --> 00:34:51,500
What happened?
What?

673
00:34:51,500 --> 00:34:53,800
Thoughts come up, but what
feelings arise?

674
00:34:53,900 --> 00:34:56,600
Because when you start to do
that, you start to develop

675
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,600
greater awareness and it all it
is all A game of awareness, how

676
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,400
or where can we be?
Can we be aware of ourselves to

677
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,200
the point where we can
ultimately in meditation?

678
00:35:06,300 --> 00:35:08,800
Just expand into as ramdas calls
it?

679
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,100
The vast ocean of awareness
where you become, no one, no

680
00:35:12,100 --> 00:35:15,900
thing, no place at no time.
You it's just the essence of you

681
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,600
in this entire quantity of The
Happening, which sounds crazy to

682
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,400
really think about and
internalized because until you

683
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,800
actually feel that and you allow
yourself to be consistent with a

684
00:35:25,808 --> 00:35:29,000
meditation practice.
It's hard to really conceptually

685
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:33,000
ASP, just not not being there,
that's further on down the line.

686
00:35:33,100 --> 00:35:36,200
Once you are able to say, okay I
can I can comfortably sit my sit

687
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,000
with myself doing nothing, then
we can go into.

688
00:35:39,100 --> 00:35:41,400
How can you do a two minute
meditation practice.

689
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,200
Maybe it's guided.
Maybe we're listening to a

690
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,500
YouTube meditation or something
on insight timer or one of those

691
00:35:47,500 --> 00:35:49,800
days are there apps met mine,
build the app or some other

692
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,100
meditation, you know, calm
forehead spaceship, headspace,

693
00:35:53,300 --> 00:35:56,700
great meditation apps and then
how can we start to extend that

694
00:35:56,700 --> 00:35:58,400
maybe once we start to feel
comfortable?

695
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,200
Can we go into 25 minutes, 10
15.

696
00:36:01,500 --> 00:36:04,400
And then where I think the real
magic happens is silent

697
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,600
meditation.
Silent meditation is the key to

698
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,200
truly communing with the
universe.

699
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,100
God Source.
Divine love is what I consider.

700
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,500
God to be the essence of just
pure Divine love.

701
00:36:16,700 --> 00:36:19,500
And so, how can we just purely
just expand into that?

702
00:36:19,500 --> 00:36:23,000
Where then you start to say?
Okay, I feel like these

703
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,500
intuitive downloads are starting
to come to me.

704
00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:28,500
I feel very clear and open.
I feel very light and vibrant

705
00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:31,200
because once Go into those
deeper states of meditation.

706
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,500
And if you read my book, I
created a beginner's guide to

707
00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:38,100
meditation as well to help
people sort of dive into silent

708
00:36:38,100 --> 00:36:40,800
meditation.
Because that really is, at least

709
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,400
for me personally has been one
of the most incredible things.

710
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,200
Just go into that quiet silence
and Stillness.

711
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,600
Because within those States, you
realize, once you're able to sit

712
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,300
with your thoughts and emotions
you start to then see that you

713
00:36:53,300 --> 00:36:56,300
are actually not your thoughts
and emotions, you are the

714
00:36:56,300 --> 00:36:59,500
Observer of the thoughts and
emotions and you are R, just the

715
00:36:59,500 --> 00:37:02,000
essence of Consciousness.
It's the Observer object

716
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,400
relationship.
And so that Michaels was that

717
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,700
possessed Michael singer, who
talked to Michael Singer.

718
00:37:06,700 --> 00:37:08,900
Exactly, right.
Yeah, he explains it really

719
00:37:08,900 --> 00:37:10,600
well.
Because Dad's actually what it

720
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,000
truly is you see that you are
not your thoughts.

721
00:37:14,100 --> 00:37:17,300
Now, in terms of people you've
worked with, is there any

722
00:37:17,700 --> 00:37:20,800
specific outcome that you can
point to it?

723
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,700
Just sort of shows, you know,
some of the results that people

724
00:37:23,700 --> 00:37:26,800
can achieve by following a lot
of these techniques that you've

725
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:31,500
become very well versed in it.
Mine who worked in the financial

726
00:37:31,500 --> 00:37:36,600
services industry, really had no
background that they were of

727
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,800
South Asian upbringing and
descend.

728
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,000
But they really didn't have any
meditation practice raised in

729
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,800
sort of the the typical
religious sort of context as it

730
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,300
relates to South Asians, they
had the ritualistic aspect of

731
00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:52,500
it, but they didn't necessarily
have the spiritual aspect of the

732
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:54,600
rather going inside and
intentionally.

733
00:37:54,900 --> 00:37:59,800
And so, really just creating a
meditation practice Even 45

734
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,800
minutes that they've carried
then with them for.

735
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,300
Now, multiple years since we
first started working together

736
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,300
and then that has actually
expanded their own ability to go

737
00:38:09,300 --> 00:38:13,700
deeper into personal growth and
then consciously seek out ways

738
00:38:13,700 --> 00:38:17,500
that they can grow in different
ways and sort of videos that

739
00:38:17,500 --> 00:38:20,200
they can watch podcast that they
can listen to really kick

740
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,500
starting, someone's entire
personal growth process.

741
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,500
Another person went through a
very difficult divorce and so

742
00:38:26,700 --> 00:38:31,100
from that experience I actually
He helped guide them through a

743
00:38:31,100 --> 00:38:33,000
number of energy clearing
techniques.

744
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,500
A number of forgiveness
exercises, a number of emotional

745
00:38:37,500 --> 00:38:41,700
Mastery techniques and it has
led to them finding a brand new

746
00:38:41,700 --> 00:38:43,900
job that is extremely
fulfilling.

747
00:38:44,100 --> 00:38:47,200
They started to become
interested in energy, healing as

748
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,500
well, and have become certified
and Reiki energy healing.

749
00:38:49,500 --> 00:38:53,200
After after we work together and
have opened their own energy.

750
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,400
Healing practice, which is a lot
amazing.

751
00:38:55,700 --> 00:38:57,500
Another person that was going
through a very difficult

752
00:38:57,500 --> 00:39:01,300
relationship time.
But also we routed that back to

753
00:39:01,300 --> 00:39:03,100
their own personal growth
stalling.

754
00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:07,200
So we help them completely
rewire their morning routine and

755
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,900
their personal growth practice
so that they can take care of

756
00:39:09,900 --> 00:39:13,600
themselves and then fill the
love tank of their significant

757
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,900
other and their relationship has
dramatically increased their.

758
00:39:16,900 --> 00:39:20,600
Now, in terms of Harmony, they
are now exploring ways to be

759
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,100
more conscious and more
intentional with their own

760
00:39:23,100 --> 00:39:25,500
relationship on a deeper
physical level as well.

761
00:39:25,700 --> 00:39:28,900
Exploring Tantra, exploring
various other way.

762
00:39:29,100 --> 00:39:33,300
Is to cultivate deeper senses of
intimacy as a couple and then

763
00:39:33,300 --> 00:39:36,400
there's a number of other people
who have gone through.

764
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,400
Basically taking up yogananda's,
book after we've worked together

765
00:39:40,700 --> 00:39:44,400
to deepening their own spiritual
practice, reducing anger, that

766
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,600
they held against family members
for decades and had, they've

767
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:53,400
completely healed wounds with
family members and so it's just

768
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,400
fascinating to see other people
who are about to move cities

769
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,900
into a totally different state.
From our work together because

770
00:40:00,900 --> 00:40:04,500
their aspect was looking at.
How can I find a place to put my

771
00:40:04,500 --> 00:40:07,100
roots down where I want to live?
How can I get clear on that?

772
00:40:07,100 --> 00:40:10,200
How can I also start to heal
relationship patterns that have

773
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,500
occurred in my life and
continuously occur?

774
00:40:12,500 --> 00:40:16,500
So so all of these things are to
say that the beauty of life is

775
00:40:16,500 --> 00:40:18,800
that there's no one right way to
go about it.

776
00:40:18,900 --> 00:40:21,900
Everyone is unique and living
their own experience and

777
00:40:21,900 --> 00:40:23,900
whatever that is, it's able to
be.

778
00:40:24,100 --> 00:40:27,200
How can I guide people to the
right questions?

779
00:40:27,300 --> 00:40:28,800
Teaching them the right
techniques.

780
00:40:29,100 --> 00:40:32,100
Them release old trauma, that
might be stored in the body to

781
00:40:32,100 --> 00:40:36,900
get them to where they want to
be in a way that is conducive to

782
00:40:36,900 --> 00:40:39,600
their highest good and their
highest learning that they

783
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,400
resonate with most equally.
The way I look at it.

784
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,900
The way I look at your journey
is just if you can take somebody

785
00:40:45,900 --> 00:40:48,800
who was in this type of
environment, and this isn't

786
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,000
something that you just went
willy-nilly into because Mom and

787
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,300
Dad told you, you actually as a
twelve-year-old, you this was

788
00:40:55,300 --> 00:40:58,400
what your dream was was becoming
an investment banker to go from

789
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,100
somebody.
Who literally had this very

790
00:41:01,100 --> 00:41:04,400
type, A Cutthroat sort of ethos
embedded in them.

791
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:08,500
If they can adopt this type of
practice, if they can adopt

792
00:41:08,500 --> 00:41:12,800
these habits, it shows that
really it's available to anybody

793
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,100
who's willing to open their
mind.

794
00:41:14,100 --> 00:41:16,000
And, you know, obviously your
story is a little bit different

795
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,800
because you had grown up with
the teachings of yoga and on the

796
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:24,000
but at the same time, you know
you did live in that very

797
00:41:24,100 --> 00:41:27,700
Cutthroat type of environment.
So and I think it's also

798
00:41:27,700 --> 00:41:32,500
important to note that Even for
a while, while I was working in

799
00:41:32,500 --> 00:41:36,900
banking at Goldman, my
meditation practice fell off.

800
00:41:36,900 --> 00:41:40,400
It totally fell off.
I became just like one of those.

801
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,900
The machines in the wheel, I was
like my life revolves around

802
00:41:43,900 --> 00:41:45,600
work.
I need to always respond to my

803
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,500
emails.
Immediately, I need to always be

804
00:41:47,500 --> 00:41:50,200
on these calls on, so I always
always be closing, right?

805
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,400
Like the the Mantra goes.
Plenary Glen Ross, right?

806
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,400
Yeah, it's true.
And I was just like, no, like

807
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,000
this is my life.
I'm a banker.

808
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,600
This is my personality.
Like this is it and so I became

809
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,800
it's kind of like it talks about
the middle way loud.

810
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,500
Sue about being too far to
either end of the spectrum,

811
00:42:08,500 --> 00:42:10,200
right?
If you're too far to the

812
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,200
materialistic working, this is
my identity side of the

813
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:14,800
spectrum.
You're just going to be

814
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,700
preoccupied with the roles that
we play as a Dharma in this

815
00:42:17,700 --> 00:42:20,100
material life.
Similarly, if you're too far to

816
00:42:20,100 --> 00:42:23,200
the Spectrum on the spiritual
side and you're just way out

817
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,900
there in the clouds the entire
time, you're not going to be

818
00:42:25,900 --> 00:42:28,900
able to be grounded in this
moment to say, okay.

819
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,100
I can have these tangible goals
and move forward while still

820
00:42:32,100 --> 00:42:35,700
being aligned with spirit and
higher Consciousness to help me

821
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,000
on my path.
It's his concept of how do we

822
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:42,100
marry the two in a way that is
so balanced that we are able to,

823
00:42:42,107 --> 00:42:46,700
then access the deepest parts of
our energy in balance and really

824
00:42:46,700 --> 00:42:48,600
shine as bright as we possibly
can.

825
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:50,300
I did want to Circle back knee
on.

826
00:42:50,300 --> 00:42:53,400
We talked last time, you know,
we talked about synchronicity

827
00:42:53,500 --> 00:42:56,200
when you and I had talked, I had
just gone through a very

828
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,300
difficult time, which is that
the losing of my Father-in-law

829
00:42:59,300 --> 00:43:02,200
who I was very close to.
And that's one of the many

830
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,900
things that I was drawn to your
story because I you had gone

831
00:43:04,900 --> 00:43:07,800
through the loss of your mother.
You are very close to for

832
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,700
listeners who are navigating
this journey of loss.

833
00:43:11,700 --> 00:43:13,700
I'd love to hear, maybe if you
can share with them.

834
00:43:13,700 --> 00:43:17,400
Maybe something that has helped
you reframe this.

835
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,400
I mean, I'll tell you for me
personally in my case, you know,

836
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,300
my father-in-law was very ill
and he had gone through a lot of

837
00:43:23,300 --> 00:43:25,300
suffering Blitz just like with
you.

838
00:43:25,300 --> 00:43:27,500
I mean, we had done a lot of
these exercise, we had done

839
00:43:27,500 --> 00:43:30,800
meditation and breast work with
Him while he was in the hospital

840
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,200
and it's like, even though he
was unable to speak he was very

841
00:43:34,300 --> 00:43:37,000
infirmed.
We could feel the energy like,

842
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,600
even if it was little things
like his fingers moving or you

843
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,600
know, when we would play this
guided breathwork music to him.

844
00:43:43,900 --> 00:43:46,500
So I'm grateful for that time
that we had with him.

845
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,600
But then also, I'm thinking
about what's beyond, you know,

846
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,600
after he's passed from from this
world, you know, what is he

847
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,800
doing?
How is he guiding things from

848
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,800
Beyond?
But it's helped my wife and I

849
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,700
get through this very difficult.
Difficult Journey.

850
00:43:59,900 --> 00:44:01,800
But I would love to hear from
you.

851
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,200
If you could, maybe share some
things that have helped.

852
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,500
You navigate that journey of
loss of your mother who you

853
00:44:07,500 --> 00:44:12,000
know, you were obviously very
close to one is journaling and

854
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:16,700
allowing yourself to feel what
you're feeling in a very open

855
00:44:16,700 --> 00:44:20,900
and vulnerable way because it's
very easy to bottle up The

856
00:44:20,900 --> 00:44:24,200
Feelings to distract ourselves
to say.

857
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,500
Okay?
This happened, I just need to

858
00:44:26,508 --> 00:44:28,600
move on.
I need to move past it.

859
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,000
But if you don't first
completely acknowledge what

860
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,800
you're feeling and going
through, there's no way.

861
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,600
You're then going to be able to
do the other step which is then

862
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:41,000
treating it with gratitude
choosing to consciously release

863
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,800
it so that the emotion can be
released through the body.

864
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,000
The heart again, large
electromagnetic field in the

865
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,900
body.
Moving typically get trapped

866
00:44:47,900 --> 00:44:49,100
here.
So we need to consciously

867
00:44:49,100 --> 00:44:53,900
release them and then choosing
to repattern and reprogram into

868
00:44:53,900 --> 00:44:57,500
what we do want to happen to
feel ultimately.

869
00:44:57,700 --> 00:45:00,500
So one is feeling journaling and
allowing yourself to fully

870
00:45:00,500 --> 00:45:04,000
Express, what you feel in an
open way, save space going to

871
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,500
people who are able to hear you,
your friends family.

872
00:45:08,100 --> 00:45:10,700
If you want to talk, talk
therapy, grief counseling.

873
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,900
I'm all amazing sub.
I didn't necessarily use grief

874
00:45:13,900 --> 00:45:17,300
counseling or those aspects.
But journaling, really number

875
00:45:17,300 --> 00:45:20,500
one, for me as well as fantastic
friend and family.

876
00:45:20,500 --> 00:45:25,200
Support system also is if you
want to continue and this is

877
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,800
what I say to people, this isn't
the end of your relationship.

878
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,600
Where the loved one I have been
able to continue this

879
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,300
conversation with my mom, on the
other side on a near-daily

880
00:45:36,300 --> 00:45:38,700
basis.
I'm able to contact her and

881
00:45:38,700 --> 00:45:42,600
speak to her at will now.
And I've also it started with

882
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:46,000
asking for signs from her on the
other side, an amazing book to

883
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,500
read for people who are going
through.

884
00:45:47,500 --> 00:45:50,200
This journey is signed by Laurel
in Jackson.

885
00:45:50,500 --> 00:45:53,300
She's an amazing medium.
And she talks about how you're

886
00:45:53,300 --> 00:45:57,100
able to cultivate sign for those
on the other side and asking for

887
00:45:57,100 --> 00:46:00,100
specific signs of meaning.
That you have with the loved one

888
00:46:00,100 --> 00:46:01,800
on their side and then they'll
deliver it to you.

889
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,300
And then that starts to develop
your well of faith.

890
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,800
And when that well of faith gets
developed you can say, okay

891
00:46:07,100 --> 00:46:09,100
maybe I can communicate with
them, maybe they're there to

892
00:46:09,100 --> 00:46:12,000
speak to me, maybe they there to
show me more guidance because

893
00:46:12,300 --> 00:46:16,000
leaving the physical body isn't
just the end of the life.

894
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,500
It's actually you just go into
another form which is why I call

895
00:46:19,500 --> 00:46:26,700
it passing on crossing over
other side change is the form of

896
00:46:26,700 --> 00:46:28,300
matter.
It's the nature of matter.

897
00:46:28,900 --> 00:46:33,000
Painless is the nature of spirit
and so understanding that you

898
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:37,300
are this Eternal Body of
infinite, light energy that just

899
00:46:37,300 --> 00:46:41,800
transcends into a lighter
density form, that is able to be

900
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,800
at a higher frequency of light
that we may not be able to

901
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:48,300
perceive with our physical eyes
just like we can have this

902
00:46:48,300 --> 00:46:50,900
bandwidth of visible light
spectrum that we see but we

903
00:46:50,900 --> 00:46:54,900
don't see X-rays and gamma rays
gamma rays and microwaves and

904
00:46:54,900 --> 00:46:56,500
radio waves but they're all
there.

905
00:46:56,500 --> 00:46:59,900
We just can't see it.
Similarly There's other aspects

906
00:46:59,900 --> 00:47:03,000
that we can't see, but they're
their Energy's all around us

907
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,000
that pervades everything.
I mean, I think for anybody who

908
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,500
has gone through loss, I think
your book is is definitely a

909
00:47:09,500 --> 00:47:14,100
must read just because again, as
attached as you are to that

910
00:47:14,100 --> 00:47:17,800
physical body and the memories
that you have, I mean, it is

911
00:47:18,100 --> 00:47:22,400
important to remember that if we
really harnessed intuition, just

912
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:26,800
a lot of this knowing that we
have in our, in our DNA, in our

913
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:31,300
in all of our cells, I Ink.
You can extend that relationship

914
00:47:31,300 --> 00:47:34,800
beyond the passing from this
Earth for sure.

915
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,500
So you know I want to ask what
is next for you.

916
00:47:38,500 --> 00:47:42,600
I know that the the last time we
spoke you were in Manhattan.

917
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,200
Now you're in a different place,
but it sounds like you are going

918
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,500
through quite a transition.
At the current time.

919
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,800
I always thought I was going to
be a New Yorker for, for quite a

920
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:54,300
long time.
And interestingly, I went to

921
00:47:54,300 --> 00:47:58,400
Ibiza last September to take
part in something called the

922
00:47:58,900 --> 00:48:01,300
Him, which is short for
unitedplanet game.

923
00:48:01,300 --> 00:48:04,600
And so they take the un's 2030
sustainable development goals.

924
00:48:04,700 --> 00:48:07,600
It was created by this wonderful
fellow Lucy and turned house key

925
00:48:07,900 --> 00:48:11,000
and they revert.
He reverse Engineers the

926
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,100
thriving 2030 future that we
live in from the perspective of

927
00:48:15,100 --> 00:48:17,200
now.
So he calls it a time-traveling

928
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,500
game.
I personally consider it a game,

929
00:48:19,500 --> 00:48:23,300
a, the law of resonance, how can
we vibrate at a resonant

930
00:48:23,300 --> 00:48:27,400
frequency of that, which we want
to already call into being in

931
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:28,600
the now there?
Mike?

932
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,300
Creating that energy in the
future by already being at

933
00:48:32,300 --> 00:48:36,500
energy in the now and
magnetizing those beautiful

934
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,800
aspects of the sustainable
development goals, already being

935
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,100
fulfilled.
So, I met some really amazing

936
00:48:43,100 --> 00:48:45,300
people at the up game.
And then after that, I finished,

937
00:48:45,300 --> 00:48:48,300
my breath, work certification
with Niraj out and the island.

938
00:48:48,300 --> 00:48:51,400
And from the second, I landed,
actually the first alien on the

939
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,500
island on a Friday.
I went to an event called The

940
00:48:54,500 --> 00:48:58,500
Garden of light, and it's like a
live music event where these,

941
00:48:58,500 --> 00:49:01,700
hey, Local vendors from the
island calm and you meet other

942
00:49:01,700 --> 00:49:04,800
people on the island all in this
very spiritual conscious

943
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,100
community.
And I was like, wow, I'm going

944
00:49:07,100 --> 00:49:09,100
to move here.
And then interestingly, the

945
00:49:09,100 --> 00:49:13,400
universe conspired to say, okay,
well, you're about to leave

946
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:17,100
Manhattan, just it just
happened, that way, and go on

947
00:49:17,100 --> 00:49:20,200
this digital Nomad journey.
And so, I'm actually going to

948
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:24,300
Portugal first for a weekend to
learn how to facilitate plant

949
00:49:24,300 --> 00:49:28,300
medicine, ceremony, from a PhD
in transpersonal Psychology and

950
00:49:28,300 --> 00:49:30,000
plant.
Edison therapy who has studied

951
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,400
with 20 indigenous, tribes
around the world.

952
00:49:32,500 --> 00:49:36,200
So learning how to do that in a
very ceremonial conscious way as

953
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:37,600
the indigenous tribes, have done
it.

954
00:49:37,700 --> 00:49:41,700
And then I had to Ibiza to
continue to work but honestly

955
00:49:41,700 --> 00:49:45,300
just see what opens and
explorers for me, ultimately

956
00:49:45,300 --> 00:49:48,700
through amazing connections at
have been able to meet and make

957
00:49:48,700 --> 00:49:50,300
they're at.
And we talked about

958
00:49:50,300 --> 00:49:52,900
synchronicity and and my
favorite form of synchronicity

959
00:49:52,900 --> 00:49:55,500
is meeting people and I talk
about this in my book, it's

960
00:49:55,500 --> 00:49:58,400
being guided along the path of
meeting incredible.

961
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:02,100
So, Was to help you grow in
terms of your own personal

962
00:50:02,100 --> 00:50:06,400
development, relationships,
business Partnerships guide.

963
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,400
You along your way as a mentor,
have some exciting New

964
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:13,300
Opportunities be shown to you
and seeing what unfolds for me

965
00:50:13,300 --> 00:50:15,600
out there.
And then ultimately, from there,

966
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:20,300
I'll be going to Morocco coming
back to the US and seeing where

967
00:50:20,300 --> 00:50:23,200
things unfold.
I'm very much in surrender mode.

968
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,400
I don't necessarily know what is
best for me and that's kind of

969
00:50:26,408 --> 00:50:28,300
the beauty of it.
Yes, I can have goals and be

970
00:50:28,300 --> 00:50:29,800
outcome.
Oriented and I love doing that

971
00:50:29,808 --> 00:50:34,300
but how can I also release and
say okay if I let go here and

972
00:50:34,300 --> 00:50:37,600
say I will do my best, for the
whatever situation is presented

973
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,200
to me in the moment and
whatever's going to happen from

974
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,900
there.
As long as I do my best, I know

975
00:50:42,900 --> 00:50:46,300
is in my highest good and so
that's kind of what I'm doing,

976
00:50:46,300 --> 00:50:48,800
I'm saying, okay, I will do my
best with the Situation's you

977
00:50:48,808 --> 00:50:51,600
give me, but I'm surrendering
into the flow here and knowing

978
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,100
that wherever I'm supposed to be
guided and led along, this

979
00:50:54,100 --> 00:50:56,400
pathway is exactly where I'm
supposed to be.

980
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:00,700
And there's a tremendous amount
of Freedom within that a little

981
00:51:00,700 --> 00:51:04,300
bit scary, no doubt because I
totally uprooted my life that I

982
00:51:04,300 --> 00:51:08,400
had 13 years in Manhattan, but
it just feels very aligned.

983
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,200
It feels very right.
Right now.

984
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,800
No, it sounds very exciting.
Now, where can people find you?

985
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:17,100
If they like to learn more about
you or work with you?

986
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:22,200
So people can find me on my
website, Neil bakshi.com and tal

987
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:26,800
b.
As in boy AKA Shi.com or my

988
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:30,900
Instagram at kneel down.
Actually I'm also on YouTube you

989
00:51:30,908 --> 00:51:35,100
can find me on LinkedIn.
You can find me on medium with

990
00:51:35,100 --> 00:51:38,900
my blog posts and can find my
book banking, on angels, on

991

Amazon, I teach breathwork
classes, which you can sign up

992
00:51:41,900 --> 00:51:45,400
for through my website or
through Instagram.

993
00:51:45,700 --> 00:51:48,500
And there's just a number of
ways you can, you can kind of

994
00:51:48,900 --> 00:51:51,200
explore and work with me in
terms of the different

995
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:55,600
modalities that I have to offer.
So I'm always here, I'm always

996
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:59,600
here to be of service and I'm
excited for for the Next sort of

997
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:03,100
group of where I'm meant to be
led and the synchronicities in

998
00:52:03,100 --> 00:52:06,100
the people I meant to be
introduced to anything else.

999
00:52:06,100 --> 00:52:10,500
You want to say before we wrap
up, I want people to know that

1000
00:52:10,500 --> 00:52:13,200
it is easier than you think it
is.

1001
00:52:13,900 --> 00:52:18,000
We have a really fascinating and
uncanny ability to make life,

1002
00:52:18,300 --> 00:52:23,200
extraordinarily complicated and
we add on all these layers of

1003
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,900
things that we need to do.
And if they don't get done, then

1004
00:52:25,900 --> 00:52:27,900
this is going to happen and this
is gonna happen and we look

1005
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:29,900
nice.
Nine to twenty steps down the

1006
00:52:29,900 --> 00:52:32,700
line.
But I just want to remember and

1007
00:52:32,700 --> 00:52:36,300
have people recognize that this
present moment is truly all we

1008
00:52:36,300 --> 00:52:38,200
have.
If we think about the past it's

1009
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:40,900
actually just a memory.
It's not a moment, it's a memory

1010
00:52:40,900 --> 00:52:42,600
of a moment.
We had seen with the future,

1011
00:52:42,700 --> 00:52:45,700
it's reception of a moment.
What is actually real is right

1012
00:52:45,700 --> 00:52:50,300
now and being able to come into
a space of slowing down,

1013
00:52:50,300 --> 00:52:53,600
consciously slowing down and
allowing your vibration to

1014
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,900
elevate with gratitude,
gratitude for everything.

1015
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:00,400
The good and the bad.
It all just is but the faster

1016
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,600
that we can come into a space of
gratitude, the faster we're

1017
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:07,600
going to be able to open to
receive whatever that situation

1018
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,300
or life situation or
circumstance has to offer to us

1019
00:53:10,700 --> 00:53:13,700
so it's easier than you think it
is, it's perfectly stated.

1020
00:53:13,900 --> 00:53:16,900
So thanks Neal so much.

1021
00:53:16,900 --> 00:53:18,500
