    enNovember 16, 2020

    Podcast Summary

    • Exploring getaways and prioritizing wellnessBooking.com offers diverse accommodation options, CVS Health provides healthcare services, natural herbs promote digestive health, and Wim Hof's method offers a natural path to optimal body and mind health.

      Planning unforgettable getaways and prioritizing wellness go hand in hand. For the former, booking.com offers a wide range of accommodation options to suit every preference and is conveniently accessible through an app. For the latter, CVS Health is making strides in providing comprehensive healthcare services, including virtual and in-person care, mental health support, and in-home evaluations. Additionally, natural herbs, like slippery elm bark and ginger root, can promote digestive health. Speaking of wellness, Wim Hof, also known as the Iceman, has made history by showing that people can influence their autonomic and immune systems through cold exposure, breathing techniques, and mindset commitment. His Wim Hof method is accessible to all, offering a natural path to optimal body and mind health. So whether you're planning your next adventure or focusing on your well-being, remember that resources and methods are available to make a difference.

    • Seeing the target grow larger: Aligning with purpose and potentialEmbrace your innate capacities, challenge societal norms, and follow intuition to improve health, happiness, and strength.

      Living in alignment with our true purpose and utilizing our full potential can lead to optimal health, happiness, and strength. This concept is illustrated in an ancient Indian story about three archers, where the best shot was not easily discernible until Arjuna revealed that he saw the target grow larger until it filled his entire field of vision. Our minds, which we don't truly own, are often diverted from our core by external systems that prioritize production and material wealth over well-being. However, recent advancements in DNA research suggest that we have the ability to influence our genetic makeup and tap into the encoded wisdom of our ancestors. By embracing our innate capacities and following our intuition, we can regain control over our immune systems and improve our overall health and happiness. It's essential to challenge societal norms that accept war, disease, and abuse as inevitable and instead strive for a world that values happiness, strength, and health for all, guided by the wisdom of nature.

    • Exploring inner selves for stress relief and personal growthRediscover your inner self through practices like deep breathing and meditation. Travel to expand perspectives and access full mental capacity.

      Our connection to our inner selves and the ability to tap into our internal neurological networks can help us deal with stress in all its forms. The speaker shares his personal experience of rediscovering this through practices like deep breathing and meditation, which are rooted in ancient traditions like yoga. He emphasizes that this is not about performing better, but about realigning ourselves to our soul and accessing our full mental capacity. The speaker also encourages travel as a means of expanding our perspectives and discovering new aspects of ourselves. Booking.com is mentioned as a helpful resource for planning adventures and trying new things, which can contribute to personal growth.

    • Gut health and breathing impact overall wellbeingPrioritize gut health with supplements and optimal breathing techniques for improved wellness, reducing stress, and influencing neurological pathways

      Our gut health and breathing play significant roles in our overall wellbeing. Trusting our gut isn't always the best decision, but supplements like Ritual's Synbiotic Plus can provide support for digestive issues. Meanwhile, optimal breathing techniques, such as pranayama, can help manage stress, change chemistry, and influence neurological pathways for better health and mood. These practices may seem simple, but they can have a profound impact on our lives. It's essential to prioritize these habits for improved wellness. Remember, the power to control our health lies within us, and learning to harness it through proper breathing and gut support can lead to a happier, healthier life. Try incorporating these practices into your daily routine and witness the positive changes for yourself.

    • Unlocking our inner healing powerWe have the ability to tap into our autonomic, immune, and endocrine systems to improve our health and well-being, challenging the paradigm of dependency on external sources.

      The speaker believes that everyone has the potential to be more than normal, and that we have the ability to tap into our autonomic, immune, and endocrine systems to improve our health and well-being. He argues that the current focus on production and exploitation is not serving humanity, and that we need to shift towards a paradigm of love, caring, and self-discovery. He has used science to prove that inflammation, a damaging factor in various diseases including COVID-19, can be suppressed by humans at will. The speaker emphasizes the importance of the investigative spirit and self-healing power, and encourages us to question the paradigm of dependency on external sources for our health and happiness.

    • Discovering the human body's ability to control systemsStudies show humans can control autonomic, immune, and endocrine systems, leading to personal growth and potential enlightenment.

      The human body has the innate ability to tap into and control various systems, including the autonomic nervous system, immune system, and endocrine system, which was discovered in a study where 12 people did not get sick after being injected with E. Coli bacteria. This ability was later reproduced and confirmed. This discovery challenges the old paradigm of dependency and offers the freedom to explore one's own capacity to enter into the whole of one's mind. Additionally, a study using brain scans in Hanover, Germany, revealed that people who practiced a specific breathing technique were able to activate 100% of their neural activity in the brain, allowing them to enter any part of their brain and discover their true selves. This shift in consciousness, which involves mindset, physical, and soul changes, can lead to enlightenment and personal growth. Wim Hof, the man behind these discoveries, is a great storyteller who shares his experiences of climbing Mount Everest in shorts and the inner workings of his soul and body during such challenges.

    • Embrace the unknown and challenge yourselfFacing our fears and pushing beyond our limits can lead to profound personal growth and deeper understanding of the world

      Following your instincts and challenging yourself can lead to profound personal growth and understanding of yourself and the world around you. The speaker shares his experiences of climbing Mount Everest without oxygen and oxygen-free diving, where he met the spirit of the mountain and conquered his fear of death. These challenges allowed him to discover that the unknown is not something to be afraid of, but rather an opportunity to learn and connect with the world on a deeper level. He encourages us to step out of our comfort zones and embrace the unknown, as the greatest lessons in life often come from facing our fears and pushing beyond our limits.

    • Expand perspectives, grow as individuals, and find happiness through new experiences and self-careNew experiences and self-care can help us discover new aspects of ourselves and the world, leading to happiness, strength, and health

      Travel and new experiences, whether through booking a trip on Booking.com or trying new herbs from Nature's Way, can help expand our perspectives, evolve and grow as individuals, and ultimately lead to happiness, strength, and health. By stepping out of our comfort zones and embracing new adventures, we can discover new aspects of ourselves and the world around us. Additionally, taking care of our physical and mental well-being through everyday practices and seeking quality healthcare services can also contribute to overall happiness and growth. Remember, you are built to be happy, strong, and healthy, and finding ways to connect with yourself in these areas can lead to a more fulfilling and enlightened life.

    • Unlocking our natural state of happiness, strength, and healthThrough simple techniques like breathing exercises and affirmations, we can control our brain's functions, replace negative thoughts with positive ones, and tap into our inherent ability to be happy, strong, and healthy.

      Our natural state is one of happiness, strength, and health. The key to unlocking this potential lies in understanding and controlling our brain's functions. This can be achieved through simple techniques like breathing exercises, which help silence the modifications of the brain and illuminate it with the right neural activity. By repeating affirmations and practicing these techniques, we can replace negative thought patterns with positive ones, leading us to a healthier and happier mindset. This concept, rooted in ancient yoga philosophy, allows us to tap into our birthright to control our entire system, including our brain, immune system, hormonal system, lymphatic, and vascular system. By believing in our ability to be happy, strong, and healthy, we can break free from the conditioning that negatively impacts our biochemistry and embrace our true selves.

    • Improve physical and mental well-being with deep breathingPractice deep breathing daily to decrease fear, anxiety, connect with immune and endocrine systems, regulate mood and energy, and create energy at a cellular level.

      Practicing deep, intentional breathing can significantly improve both physical and mental well-being. This simple yet powerful technique, as shared by Wim Hof, can help decrease fear and anxiety by increasing neural activity and control in the body. By fully inhaling and then letting go, we can release carbon dioxide, become more alkaline, and even reach deeper levels of the brain to nourish the soul. Daily practice of this method can change our biochemistry, allowing us to connect with our immune and endocrine systems, regulate mood and energy, and create energy at a cellular level. This accessible and universal truth, available to all regardless of background or education, offers an immediate and guaranteed difference in our lives. Try incorporating this practice into your daily routine for just seven days and witness the transformation for yourself.

    • Exploring the Wim Hof Method and its BenefitsThe Wim Hof Method, led by Wim Hof himself, focuses on improving breath control and overall well-being, with potential for significant experiences and benefits. Wim believes in the scientific existence of the soul and aims to prove it.

      The Wim Hof Method, as taught by Wim Hof himself, offers practical techniques for improving breath control and overall well-being. This method, which has been praised by many, including guests on the podcast, can lead to significant experiences and benefits. Wim believes that the soul is present and accessible to everyone, and he is committed to scientifically proving this. If he could create a law, it would be for everyone to be obligated to be happy, strong, and healthy. His next challenge is to prove the scientific existence of the soul. Wim's biggest compliment was received from his wife, and he believes that we are all unstoppable. He embodies love, conviction, determination, and a great natural power. The collaboration between Wim and the speaker is expected to bring about significant light and pleasure for both parties and humanity as a whole. IKEA offers affordable outdoor furniture and accessories for a longer, more enjoyable summer, and CVS Health provides quality care and support in various ways.

    Do you and your partner share values?

    How do you support each other emotionally?

    Today, Jay taps into the  idea that love alone is not sufficient to sustain a healthy relationship. While love is important, other elements such as shared values, emotional maturity, consistent patterns of behavior, and trust are crucial for long-lasting partnerships.

    Jay discusses the significance of understanding and respecting each other's values, as well as recognizing and addressing patterns of behavior. Emotional maturity, which involves managing and expressing emotions healthily, is highlighted as a key component of a stable relationship. Support and partnership are deemed more critical than love alone.

    How to communicate your value to your partner

    How to develop emotional maturity

    Do You Compare Yourself or Your Relationship to Others? 5 Surprising Ways to Stop Letting Comparison Steal Your Happiness

    Do You Compare Yourself or Your Relationship to Others? 5 Surprising Ways to Stop Letting Comparison Steal Your Happiness

    Do you compare your relationship to others?

    How can you identify and manage your triggers for comparison?

    Today, Jay introduces the concept of social comparison theory, explaining the differences between upward - where we compare ourselves to those we perceive as better off, can lead to feelings of inadequacy if done with envy rather than a mindset of learning, and downward comparisons which involves comparing ourselves to those worse off, which can provide a temporary boost in self-esteem but is ultimately unproductive and unkind.

    He shares practical strategies for reducing comparison, such as being mindful of social media usage, identifying personal triggers, and investing in self-improvement. Jay also stresses the importance of understanding the deeper, often hidden aspects of people's lives and why we usually compare our internal struggles with others' external successes, leading to a distorted and unfair self-assessment.

    In the episode, you'll learn:

    How to identify your goals

    How to set mutual goals

    How to be mindful of your triggers

    How to invest in self-improvement

    By seeking deeper connections and understanding the full context of others' lives, we can develop more empathy and reduce the impulse to compare and shift our focus from external comparisons to internal growth and relational strength, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and authentic life.

    Do you often feel unappreciated by your partner?

He begins by acknowledging the pervasive uncertainty many people face about their partners and the fear of being alone that often drives them to stay in unfulfilling relationships. Is it true that the lack of current excitement or passion necessarily indicates settling.

    One of the key questions Jay poses is whether individuals feel they can be their true selves with their partners. He highlights the importance of authenticity in relationships, sharing anecdotes about how people often hide or underplay parts of themselves to be more likable, which ultimately leads to losing their true identity.

    7 Habits to Be Present When Everything Feels Like It’s Moving Too Quickly (Busy People Listen Now)

    How can you recognize when you need to slow down?

    And what are the benefits of slowing down in everyday life?

    Today, Jay addresses the growing concern about how to slow down in our fast-paced world. Many of us feel like time is flying by, and Jay offers practical tips to help us feel more present and in control. 

    Jay recommends connecting with ourselves, looking at our schedule, and reaching out to loved ones. By waking up 20 minutes earlier than needed, this small change can set a calm tone for the day. And there is power in silence and spending time in nature. Silence helps reduce our brain's cognitive load, and being in nature makes us feel more present and less rushed.

    Throughout the episode, Jay provides easy-to-follow advice to help us slow down and enjoy life more fully, reminding us that slowing down is about being more present, not doing less.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    How to slow down time

    How to change your daily habits

    How to plan for your day

    These small changes can make a big difference in how you experience time. Remember, there's more to life than increasing its speed. Let's slow down together and savor every moment.

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty
