    Podcast Summary

    • Unexpected inspiration leads to transformative changeSudden inspirations can lead to major life transformations, even if you have no prior knowledge or interest in the field.

      Sometimes in life, people experience transformative moments that lead them to pursue new paths. For the speaker in this conversation, it was a moment of clarity while working in a water trough on his ranch that led him to invent sensory deprivation tanks. He had no prior knowledge or interest in this field, but the idea came to him suddenly and strongly. After building the first tank, he became obsessed with the project and eventually started a business around it. This unexpected turn of events led him to leave his past behind and focus on this new endeavor. Whether you believe it was a divine intervention or simply an inspiration from within, the speaker's story is a reminder that sometimes the most significant changes in our lives can come from the most unexpected places.

    • Ensuring Safety and Health in Sensory Deprivation TanksThe sensory deprivation tank industry is prioritizing health and safety measures, including custom-made components, adherence to codes, and improved filtration systems, to preserve benefits and prevent risks.

      The sensory deprivation tank industry is gaining popularity, and it's essential to prioritize health and safety measures to ensure the benefits of this service are preserved. The industry is moving towards custom-made components and adhering to specific codes, as authorities are increasingly aware of the potential risks and liabilities. The discussion also highlighted the importance of improving filtration systems to prevent potential health hazards, such as the survival of parasites in tanks. The speakers shared their experiences of starting the business and the evolution of the industry, emphasizing the importance of innovation and continuous improvement. In essence, the industry's growth necessitates a focus on safety, cleanliness, and effective filtration systems to ensure a positive user experience and prevent any negative consequences.

    • Hot tub water maintenance with chlorine and bromine is not effective or healthyInstead of using chlorine and bromine, maintain hot tub water with certified components, guidelines, and personal responsibility for cleanliness to ensure ethical and cost-effective use.

      The use of chlorine and bromine for maintaining hot tub water is not effective and can be harmful to users' health. These chemicals produce toxic byproducts and can irritate the skin and eyes. Furthermore, the frequent water changes required to address these issues can be costly. A more ethical and cost-effective solution for a private hot tub would be to ensure the water is properly maintained with certified components, following guidelines and taking personal responsibility for cleanliness. However, for commercial applications, stricter regulations and more expensive solutions may be necessary. A new, less expensive alternative, such as an aluminum frame with a shower curtain, may have limitations and requires further investigation before implementation.

    • Learning from the Experiences of Long-Term Sensory Deprivation Tank EntrepreneursNew entrepreneurs can benefit from the long-term experiences of sensory deprivation tank business owners to avoid and resolve potential challenges and hazards, and increase their chances of success.

      The popularity of sensory deprivation tanks is on the rise, attracting both new and experienced entrepreneurs. However, not all of these newcomers may fully understand the potential challenges and hazards involved in the business. The long-term experience of individuals like the speaker, who have dealt with issues like engine seizures and high salt content, can be valuable in avoiding and resolving such problems. The growing interest in sensory deprivation tanks is evident in mainstream media coverage and the increasing number of celebrities using them. Despite the potential competition, the speaker remains focused on their own business and moving forward. It's important for new entrepreneurs to learn from the experiences of those who have been in the business for a long time to ensure the success of their ventures.

    • Avoiding Physical Altercations: A Reality TV ExperienceAssess situations, communicate effectively, and de-escalate conflicts peacefully to avoid dangerous physical altercations.

      Physical altercations can be dangerous and should be avoided whenever possible. The speaker in this conversation recounted an experience on a reality TV show where he had to physically intervene against a contestant who was becoming violent and aggressive. Despite the contestant's smaller physical frame and emotional outbursts, the speaker felt threatened and used his judgement to de-escalate the situation by grabbing the man to prevent further harm. The speaker emphasized the importance of being aware of one's surroundings and assessing the situation before reacting, as well as the potential consequences of allowing a physical altercation to escalate. Overall, the takeaway is that it's always best to avoid physical confrontations and instead use communication and de-escalation techniques to resolve conflicts peacefully.

    • The Importance of Physical Activity for Mental and Emotional Well-BeingRegular physical activity can help reduce stress, clear the mind, improve mood, and prevent destructive behaviors by giving the body what it needs.

      Physical exercise plays a crucial role in maintaining mental and emotional well-being. When we don't release built-up energy and frustration through activities like running, writing, or floating in a sensory deprivation tank, we may become easily irritated and agitated. This can lead to destructive behaviors, such as violence or harming ourselves or others. Regular physical activity can help alleviate stress, clear the mind, and improve mood. Additionally, activities like running or using a float tank can provide a mental framework for creativity or problem-solving. The body is designed for manual labor and physical activity, and when it's not used in this way, it can lead to discomfort and unease. By giving the body what it needs, we can improve our overall well-being and reduce the risk of destructive behaviors.

    • Exploring the Unique Experience of Sensory Deprivation TanksSensory deprivation tanks offer deep relaxation and introspection, but setting them up correctly is important. Proper use can provide a natural high, but some may become addicted to the emotional rushes and escape from everyday life. Despite its potential benefits, it remains a rare experience for many.

      Sensory deprivation tanks offer a unique experience that can provide deep relaxation and introspection, but it's essential to set them up correctly to avoid discomfort. When used properly, the feeling of being fully immersed in the tank, where the mind is free to wander and explore, can be compared to a powerful and natural high. However, some people may get addicted to the emotional rushes and the escape it provides from the complexities of everyday life. Despite its potential benefits, the use of sensory deprivation tanks has been largely overlooked and remains a relatively rare experience for many.

    • Ancient Discoveries Overlooked Due to Mainstream ObsessionExploring lesser-known practices and ancient discoveries can broaden our perspective and challenge assumptions about human capabilities.

      There exists significant ancient history and culture discoveries that have been overlooked due to societal obsession with mainstream media and entertainment. The speaker shares his experience with a mind-expanding practice and expresses surprise at how few people in the psychedelic community had tried it. He also discusses the discovery of ancient stone ruins from 14,000 years ago, which challenge previous assumptions about human capabilities during that time. The speaker believes that if people were less consumed by trivial media and more consciously engaged in personal growth, they would be more aware of these important discoveries. He sees evidence of growing sophistication and awareness in society but acknowledges that there will always be those who resist change.

    • Understanding Your Thoughts and MotivationsStay self-aware, learn from mistakes, and pursue dreams through calculated risks to achieve personal growth

      It's essential to understand one's thoughts and motivations to avoid living a life based on others' expectations. The tank, meditation, or any introspective practice can help individuals identify their reasons for actions. However, life is a journey with inevitable mistakes. Being aware of potential pitfalls and learning from others' experiences can prevent one from getting trapped in an unsatisfying situation. It's crucial to be self-aware and take calculated risks to pursue one's dreams. The idea of becoming whatever you want through conscious thought might seem far-fetched, but staying open-minded and learning from various perspectives can lead to personal growth.

    • Lack of scientific evidence for spiritual or metaphysical properties of water and devicesIt's essential to critically evaluate claims and look for actual scientific evidence, rather than anecdotal evidence or desired outcomes, when assessing the effectiveness of water or devices.

      While some people believe in the spiritual or metaphysical properties of water and various devices like Tesla technology medallions, these beliefs lack scientific evidence and can be debunked through simple experiments. Yamamoto's idea that being nice to water and people is a good premise, but the idea of hidden messages in water or specific devices enhancing strength or clarity is not supported by scientific research. The muscle testing experiments mentioned can be easily manipulated and are likely carny tricks. It's important to critically evaluate claims and look for actual results rather than anecdotal evidence or specific desired outcomes. The natural and relaxing properties of the Chamber, like Epsom salt baths, should not be discredited, but it's crucial to distinguish between evidence-based practices and unproven claims.

    • Creating an affordable and welcoming floating experienceProviding affordable rates and a welcoming environment can attract a large customer base and create a loyal community in the floating industry. Using high-quality materials is also crucial for a superior floating experience.

      Providing an affordable and welcoming floating experience can create a loyal community and attract a large customer base. The speaker shares his experience of offering affordable rates for his float lab, which has resulted in positive feedback and a high volume of customers. He believes that charging exorbitant prices is not necessary to run a successful business, and instead, focusing on creating a welcoming environment and accommodating a diverse group of people is key. The speaker also discusses the importance of using high-quality materials, such as USP grade Epsom salt, to ensure a superior floating experience.

    • Exploring altered states with sensory deprivation tanksSensory deprivation tanks offer a safe and natural way to explore altered states of consciousness, with growing popularity and limited availability in Venice. The potential benefits include personal growth and relaxation, enhanced by minimal visual stimuli.

      The use of sensory deprivation tanks, such as those discussed, is becoming increasingly popular as people explore altered states of consciousness in a safe and natural way. With only two tanks in Venice currently booked up through August, there's a growing interest in these tanks and the potential experiences they offer. The subject of altered states has gained popularity in today's society, and individuals are now able to make decisions about what they put in their bodies and minds. This expansion of consciousness and personal growth can be seen in various aspects of life, from trying new activities to learning new skills. The use of screens above the tanks, which emit minimal light and only show the image, enhances the ability to absorb information and enter a deeper state of relaxation. Despite the challenges in perfecting this technology, the potential benefits make it a worthwhile pursuit.

    • Experience the future of immersive technology: Flying through space in a sensory deprivation domeThe future of immersive experiences may involve lying in a dome filled with screens, manipulating frequency-based materials to create improved cells, and potentially disorienting sensory deprivation effects.

      The future of immersive experiences may involve lying on your back in a dome filled with screens, giving you the sensation of flying through space while being enclosed and surrounded by visuals. This sensory deprivation experience, which can be disorienting, is designed to manipulate the mind and may even involve manipulating the water and audio to create a more immersive and somatic effect. The technology is based on the idea that everything, including our bodies, is made up of frequency-based materials, and the goal is to create improved versions of cells rather than depreciated ones during the replication process. The speaker suggests that this technology, which may be controlled by unknown entities, has the potential to create mind-bending and disorienting experiences, but the exact applications and implications are not fully clear.

    • Exploring the Impact of Technology on Our Bodies and MindsAdvancements in neuroscience and sensory technology can lead to cellular changes, while practices like meditation physically alter the brain. A holistic approach to well-being, including diet, exercise, and meditation, is essential.

      Advancements in technology, specifically in the field of neuroscience and sensory input, hold the potential to significantly impact our bodies and minds. This could include the development of devices that combine sound and images to tune the body to different frequencies, potentially leading to cellular changes. Furthermore, practices like meditation, which involve focusing the mind on a specific frequency or mindset, have been shown to physically change the brain. By continuing to explore and invest in these areas, we have the opportunity to expand our understanding of ourselves and improve various aspects of our lives, including health and learning. Additionally, a holistic approach that includes proper diet, exercise, and meditation is crucial for overall well-being.

    • Technology-Aided Personal Growth: Sensory Deprivation TanksSensory deprivation tanks provide a unique environment for introspection, relaxation, and emotional healing, contributing to personal growth and mental clarity.

      The use of technology, such as sensory deprivation tanks, can significantly aid in personal growth and self-discovery. This was exemplified by Duncan Trussell's experience of overcoming a devastating breakup through daily tank sessions. These environments offer an opportunity to introspect, relax, and release physical tension, leading to improved mental clarity and emotional healing. The potential benefits extend beyond individuals, with applications for schools, universities, and veterans dealing with trauma. The unpredictability of the experience makes it essential to have access to such facilities as an integral part of community resources.

    • Learning from past mistakesRecognize past mistakes, release guilt, focus on present and future, learn from experiences, and build resilience.

      It's essential to come to terms with past mistakes and not let them define or hold us back. The discussion emphasized the importance of recognizing that we cannot change the past, but we can control how we respond to it. Dwelling on negative experiences can hinder personal growth and happiness. Instead, it's crucial to learn from past mistakes, release the obligation to feel bad about them, and focus on the present and future. Additionally, facing adversity and hardships builds character and resilience. The discussion also touched on the pitfalls of relying too much on external support and not developing the ability to face challenges independently. Ultimately, it's essential to strive for self-sufficiency and personal growth.

    • Every difficult experience presents an opportunity for growth and learning.Recognize the potential for growth in difficult experiences, practice meditation and introspection, transform your life, spread knowledge and positivity, and become the architect of your own character.

      Every difficult experience presents an opportunity for growth and learning. Joe Dispenza, a pioneer in the field of personal development, emphasizes the importance of recognizing this and using it to consistently improve oneself. He believes that through practices like meditation and introspection, we can transform our lives and become the architects of our own character. Additionally, he encourages everyone to make the world a better place by spreading knowledge and positivity. Joe's work, including his float tanks, has had a profound impact on many lives, including Crash's, and serves as a reminder that personal growth is not only possible but essential.

    Cory Allen is an author, meditation teacher and host of The Astral Hustle Podcast. He is also the creator of my favourite Guided Meditation Course www.ReleaseIntoNow.com and has completed thousands and thousands of hours of mindfulness practise during his life. Meditation is a little bit like a stretching routine; it's something most people know they probably should do, but due to a lack of information, fear of feeling silly or misconceptions about what it entails, the barriers to entry can be prohibitive to starting. In this episode I ask Cory to explain the fundamental components of mindfulness practise, from sitting posture to mindset, optimal session frequency to expected benefits, plus a great background to his own journey. If you are new to meditation, hopefully this breaks down some barriers and gives you the steps needed to begin a routine of mindfulness training. If you are already a meditator, allow yourself to deepen your practise through Cory's fantastically experienced insight. He's also got a glorious voice.

    #394 A 102-year-old Doctor’s Secrets to Health and Happiness at Every Age with Dr Gladys McGarey

    #394 A 102-year-old Doctor’s Secrets to Health and Happiness at Every Age with Dr Gladys McGarey

    Aged 102 (and a half!) years, today’s guest is the oldest person I’ve welcomed onto the show. Dr Gladys McGarey is co-founder of the American Holistic Medical Association and author of the fantastic new book, The Well-Lived Life: A 102-year-old Doctor’s Secrets to Health and Happiness at Every Age.


    Many people consider Gladys to be the ‘mother of holistic medicine’. For years now, she has been trying to spread the message that health is not just physical – it involves mental, emotional and spiritual elements in equal measure.

     

    Her message is that living a long and healthy life isn’t about the right diet, or taking vitamins and supplements. Instead, it requires a shift in perspective. A long life is all very well, but what are you living for?

     

    For many people today, finding one’s purpose in life feels like an optional extra when we’re busy working, raising children or caring for parents. It can be hard to know who we really are or what we want out of life. But Gladys insists we should still strive to identify our reason for getting out of bed every morning. And we should realise that all of life’s experiences exist to teach us something.

     

    Gladys is a wonderful storyteller, who uses examples and anecdotes from her own, purpose-driven life to explain the secrets that she shares in her book. She reveals how the devastation of her husband asking for a divorce, when she was 70, eventually became her strength. Rather than stay a victim of heartbreak, she made a choice to move forward and help others. And that’s a common theme that comes up in this conversation – the fact that we always have a choice.


    This is a wonderful, life-affirming conversation about the very essence of life and health. It was a real privilege and honour to talk to Gladys - I hope you enjoy listening.
