Ep 188: Welcome Into My World With A Shaman Sorcerer

Start Your Transformation Now I’ve not done an interview with any of my past students in quite some time and I’m starting a short series again. This short series will assist many in understanding that any of us can change our lives quickly and live extraordinary lives when we make a few simple adjustments. One of the biggest challenges most people have is money and abundance. The irony is that making money is really pretty easy and most people make it exceptionally challenging. I know it’s both hard and easy because I used to be one of those people who made it super hard and now I make it super easy and teach my transformational students to do the same. In this episode, I’m visiting with Michele, one of my students. As you will hear, after going through my 14-week transformational coaching program she transformed her lifelong negative relationship with money. And, not only that, she went from a grade school teacher’s income to over $100,000 in just one year in her side business. Yes, she kept her job as a teacher because she loves teaching and she also turned it into a side business that makes her over $100,000 per year and she’ll tell you in her own words – it was pretty easy. As I have said, “Money is EASY to attract.” Yes, as you know, most of us make it hard. So, listen to Michele’s story and she’s going to share the secret that I have even shared here on my podcast. One that’s so simple that we often miss it. This one secret has brought over $15,000,000 into my own life in just a few years. Seriously and honestly! And, no pie-in-the-sky. No rah-rah, no BS! Attracting large sums of money is simply about working in the way that the universe works. As hokey as that sounds, that is the truth. Michele is proof. I am proof and 1000s of my students can tell you the same. Money is easy to attract. Money comes from a simple formula. It’s so simple it’s hard to believe. Until you put the formula to the test in your own life! Transformational Takeaway: Listen to this episode and discover how Michele easily started attracting over $100,000 per year in just one year in her “side business” and how you can use the same formula.

Start Your Transformation Now Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard to be who and what you are in front of others?  What are you so afraid of?  Who are you so afraid of?  Right now I’m afraid that I’m going to be judged for my last two dangling participles but who cares. Grammar nitpickers are going to hate, right?  Candidly, it’s easy to be who you are but it’s the fear that you’re going to be judged that stops you. And, for many, that fear is debilitating.  As well, for those who do live their lives on their own terms and from their own values, they have essentially liberated themselves from the enslavement of others.  In this episode, I talk about something that happened to me nearly 30 years ago that set me free of the judgment of pleasing others, trying to be liked, and looking for approval from others.  When we get to that place in our lives…that is true freedom.  This episode is a very personal one and hopefully it can help others free themselves from the suffocation of trying to gain the love and approval of others.

Start Your Transformation Now A few days ago I was thinking way back to 1988, my first year out of college. One August morning I woke up pawing at the sheets and throwing up. Little did I know I was having a panic/anxiety attack.  With no access to mental health care, I struggled with that for a year until I remembered back to some mental training I had a few years prior. Using that training I completely eliminated a life condition that debilities many people for years and for many, they take medications.  In this episode, I share how I stumbled onto self-hypnosis and I share all the many ways you can use it.  I know I talked about it in earlier episodes but this one is my own story and how I used self-hypnosis to regain function in my life. Being a former hypnotist I have heard a bazillion times, “I don’t believe in hypnosis.” Candidly, this is an ignorant statement.  Hypnosis and the power of it have been endorsed by pretty much every credible medical, scientific, and psychological association and organization in the world.  Simply put, it’s the “power of the mind.”  No matter where you are in life: facing surgery, giving birth, anxiety, depression, fears, physical pain, PTSD, or even performance anxiety – sexual or otherwise, self-hypnosis CAN most likely assist you in healing and living the life you want!  Transformational Takeaway: How to Make Anything And Everything In Your Life Better With The Power Of Self-Hypnosis.

Start Your Transformation Now This week I’m celebrating my 200th episode of the podcast and we’re doing something we’ve never done before. I’m being interviewed by my good friend, Brandon Lucero, who is more like a brother to me than a friend. That being said, you’ll notice right off that the tone of this episode is completely different than my other episodes. This episode is also very different because I’m getting real personal about a lot of things, including some of the questions that you, the listener, asked recently when I asked for you to submit your questions. Here’s just a few things that we discuss: [18:06] How I used to chase money and what I do now [27:03] How people right now are trapped in consumerism [39:41] How I met Don Xavier, my sister’s husband, the shaman [49:08] What it’s like working with a shaman [50:36] How I began teaching transformation [1:04:01] Coming out and meeting my partner [1:19:47] A terrifying experience in Peru I hope you enjoy this special episode where I’m pulling back the curtain on many, many personal things. And thank you for listening and making this 200th episode possible! When I started this podcast, I had no idea we’d have so many downloads and listeners. We can’t do in life what we want without the assistance of others. And when it comes to the podcast, we’ve had over 2 million downloads and because of you, the listener, I can do what I love to do and do my dharma, my spiritual service.

Start Your Transformation Now You probably believe in the Law of Attraction, but if you’re like most people you’re struggling with money. And this is because you’re most likely using the Law of Attraction against you. If this is you, listen to this episode now because we’re about to change all that for you! People who have money work from prosperity consciousness. They are engaging the Law of Attraction in a way that actually attracts money for them, instead of repelling money for them. When it comes to money, most people focus on not having it and they focus on lack. What you put out in thought is what you attract back, and most people engage in the Law of Attraction because they need money, and therefore are in fear and desperation, and that’s what they are vibrating and feeling and attracting back. In this episode, you are going to learn how to manage your emotions which affect your frequency, what your prosperity consciousness is, how you feel about being rich, and separating your money from your work. Transformational Takeaway: Wherever you have your attention, wherever you have your emotions, that’s what you attract. Use the Law of Attraction to attract money instead of repelling money. Focus on emotional abundance. I must be emotionally abundant if I want to attract financial abundance.

Start Your Transformation Now This is an episode that I’m truly passionate about. The fact that the mainstream world is indoctrinated into mediocre and powerless thinking has long bothered me.  The mainstream world keeps people unhappy, broke, overweight, lonely, and sick.  Many people find this statement shocking and if that’s the case they are most likely blind to what’s really happening in the world and to what is being done to them.  Being a former hypnotist people would often ask me, “Is it easy to get someone into hypnosis?” My answer was always, “No, that’s easy, it’s actually hard to get people out of hypnosis.”  Meaning, you, me, all of us have been indoctrinated and conditioned into our thinking, and most times that thinking is counterproductive and keeps us trapped. For millions around the world, it also keeps this sick, overweight, and just downright broke.  From the time we pop out of the womb the world “programs” us – TV, news, advertising, school, family, church, medicine…all of it teaches us what reality is and truth be realized, it’s all wrong. Or rather, a great deal of it is wrong and to a larger degree is incomplete.  Just one simple example. Health and wellness. The world, doctors, and advertising program us into thinking it’s hard to heal and even worse, that we’re going to get sick. This is not just a fact. The power of your mind is extraordinary and when you discover it and learn to use it then just about any life you want is available to you.  In this episode, I touch on and give examples of how we are kept down and unhappy when we follow the indoctrination given to us by the world around us.  Want a much better life? Learn to see outside all you have been mentally “fed” in your life.  Break free of all your indoctrination and the first place to start is the realization of it and how deeply it runs in our lives.  Transformational Takeaway: Be in this world, but not of this world.

Start Your Transformation Now You obviously know the name of my podcast is The Transform Your Life From The Inside Out Podcast and I want to go in the opposite direction in this episode and share a powerful way you can also transform your life from the outside in.  Because I work in the transformational field I’m always watching people, looking for new ideas, and keeping my antenna up for podcast ideas, and this week a lightning bolt idea hit me about the topic for this episode.  Einstein said, “Only a life lived in service to others is worth living.” And, as much as we think we fully understand what that means most of us do not and as a result, we suffer in ways that we don’t have to.  I ask you to truly, deeply, and fully ponder a single question. The question is, “Do you seek first to take care of others or to take care of yourself?”  I want to be clear. I do not mean this in an altruistic way or that you live your life for others at the expense of your own. I’m talking about service to others before service to self.  I can safely make a bet about all and anyone who listens to my podcast: They want to transform their lives.  Despite the desire for transformation, so many people spend years or a lifetime spinning their wheels in the same ruts and patterns because they are doing things in an ineffective way.  What I recognized from one of my students this week is that when we serve others with an open heart and devotedly then our own life starts to transform.  There is a lot I want to say about this but you have to listen to the episode so I can explain why this happens and how you can use it for your own self-transformation!  The keys to everything we want in life are right in front of us and because of how we are conditioned by our parents and society we miss the keys to the life of our dreams.  As you always hear me say, we have to first transform our lives from the inside out but when we serve others we inadvertently transform our lives from the outside in.  Transformational Takeaway: Transform your life by first serving others.

Start Your Transformation Now In the past, I have often said, “Being stuck” in life, no such thing. Cars can get stuck, things can get stuck but people cannot get stuck. Why, because they have the ability to change things and do different things. So, in this episode I talk about – “Something” leads to something and what does that mean? It’s so simple that most of us miss the power of this simple phrase. Oftentimes in life, we are stuck or directionless when in fact the answers are in front of us all the time, yet we are too busy being stuck to see the obvious answer. I myself, years back, have found myself “stuck.” In particular, I remember 2014 when I was burned out, tired, and in limbo as to what I wanted to do with the rest of my professional life. I remember one day when I was pacing the den the answer came to me. The answer of how to get “unstuck” and to change my life came to me in a flash and had this answer not hit me I seriously doubt I’d even be doing this podcast today. This epiphany I came to, it’s available to everyone and it’s pretty much free, we just have to act upon it and when we do, I promise, something will lead to something. And, when new things come into our awareness then so do possible new opportunities. Be sure to listen to this episode, after all, before you listen to it you have no idea what it’s going to lead to, right? Well, after you listen you’ll perhaps have a new way to “get yourself” unstuck in life. As I said before, we’re never stuck. It’s just often that we have run out of creativity and action. And, when we add creativity and couple that with action, magic can happen. Transformational Takeaway: You’re Never Stuck In Life. Something Leads To Something.
