innovations and true wellness.
I'm your host, Roland Perez, asthe executive producer of the

But Better Wellness is morethan that not only keeping your
body healthy, but developing themindset and balance that
prevents illness.
Our guests are experiencedexperts in the world of staying
(00:46):
healthy, young and well.
Our guest is David Delrahim,wellness expert and noted
visionary.
David has some valuableinsights on how stress can be
overcome by first understandingthe source.
Hi, David, thanks for cominginto the studio today.
Someone says to you I'mstressed One of the causes is
(01:06):
that we're dealing with the fearof the past or the fear of the
future, and that future developsstress.
Can you have too much to thinkabout?
Then the stress happens,anxiety and stress happens.
Is that something you've found?
David Delrahim (01:27):
Absolutely.
There are three stages of lifepast, present and future.
When we go back to the past,with or without the fear, it
creates sadness and depression.
(01:47):
When we have, fear about thefuture creates uncertainty which
creates anxiety.
Anxiety is never about the past, it's always about the future.
And there comes the third part,which is present.
(02:07):
So where is peace?
Only in present.
Is that in the past?
Is that in the future?
That's why we try to begrounded, we try to be present,
Because that's the only placewhere the peace is.
Roland Perez (02:25):
The difference between stress and a little
worried is a big differencebetween a little worried, a
little concerned, a little bit.
Stress is that changes yourbody.
The cells in your bloodactually changes after you get
angry or you get stressed, soit's harming your body.
It's really actually harmingyour body.
(02:46):
What is the cure for stress?
For instance, what can you doto get yourself in a position
where you're not so stressed?
David Delrahim (02:58):
As we are looking at the human's health,
that we are looking at the fiveelements of human health, it has
an element of spirit, which isthe spirituality.
And why it is?
Because we are a spiritualbeing.
That's why we are beingconnected is an automatic thing,
(03:19):
because that's who we are.
So ourselves have intelligenceand then the entire billions of
cells that we have that becomewho we really are as an
individual, as a human being.
There's a collectiveconsciousness, so the cells have
(03:42):
consciousness, which is theintelligence, and then us, all
of those conscious billions ofconsciousnesses, becomes a
collective consciousness.
They know they live the truthall right, because they do not
have those cells, they do nothave ego.
We have ego.
(04:03):
They are connected to divine.
When we have stress that comesfrom the anxiety, that comes
from uncertainty, everything isreversed to our connectivity
with divine, and that is thestars.
I think this is not where Iwant to be, that those
(04:28):
individual consciousnesses, thecells, are saying this is what
this is against who I am, that'snot our own.
So they become defensive.
That defensive mechanismcreates infelimations.
So stress creates inflammation,pain, and we know the root
(04:51):
cause of all discomfort isinflammation.
Roland Perez (04:58):
So the cure for stress, or what you can do to do
, let's say, someone.
I'm very, very stressed.
I know when, the small timethat I was a police officer,
people would be very stressedand I would say to them relax,
take a deep breath.
And it was amazing how manypeople said that in other
(05:22):
departments.
When I ran across people,ambulance drivers and everything
else they would do that.
Tell me about relax and take adeep breath.
David Delrahim (05:31):
Stress is the byproduct.
So let's go through the chainof stress.
We got stress that came fromanxiety, that came from
uncertainty, that came frombeing way into the future and
not feeling that you are incontrol, all right, and the fear
(05:56):
and all of this.
So it's like a chain, all right.
And then, once you get toalmost to the end of the chain,
reverse engineering.
It really came from your ego,all right.
So, in order to reallydisconnect this chain and
interrupt so we don't get to thestress, or, if we have this
(06:18):
stress is a manageable stress,is the stress that we talk about
.
This stress is always going tobe here, it just is.
It's just.
You know that's a life onplanet earth.
All right, it's competitive.
You know this, that.
So it is that, but you know.
But where it is really trulyharmful is the unmanageable
(06:41):
becomes like a wild fire.
So so we're going from stressto anxiety.
Well, what can I do with theanxiety?
Nothing, really.
You know what.
You can have a couple of pills,but that's really masking it.
All right.
What else I'm reverseengineering.
(07:03):
Oh, before that is uncertainty.
Ah, I want to pause in theuncertainty because that's
something that I can havecontrol.
I do not have control overanxiety, because the anxiety is
the symptom, just like a stressbecomes from uncertainty.
(07:26):
Uncertainty I can do somethingwith that.
The uncertainty is my thought,is my emotions, is something
that I can do something about it.
What can I do?
You just remember the past,present, future.
(07:46):
The only place is present.
Am I present?
Roland Perez (07:52):
When.
David Delrahim (07:52):
I have uncertainty.
I am not being present.
I'm into the future.
Roland Perez (07:58):
So you put yourself in the present.
David Delrahim (08:00):
Yes, you bring yourself to the present if you
want to disconnect from a lot ofuncertainties.
Roland Perez (08:08):
How do you do?
David Delrahim (08:09):
that Exactly.
So how do we do that?
You know it's being grounded,it is being present.
It's just like when we arehaving a conversation, a very
casual conversation.
It could be with our familymembers, spouse, friends, anyone
(08:29):
.
If it is even a five-minuteconversation, that is about 300
seconds.
How many seconds of that 300seconds we're really here.
The rest of it we're not.
We're talking about what I didthis morning, that I shouldn't
(08:49):
have, what I did, what was goingto happen this afternoon.
What is he going to say?
So I'm having internalconversation with myself.
I'm not here, I'm somewhereelse in this space.
So by doing the meditations andbeing present and being in the
(09:14):
space of right here, right now,that is when I'm here, I'm not
in the future.
So I'm cutting the anxiety, I'mcutting the uncertainties and
in order to put ourselves inthat path, it is really like
(09:35):
wearing two different kinds oflenses.
You just need to put that lensdown and put the lens of present
.
Roland Perez (09:46):
Okay, now that you say that one of the things that
one of the paramedics did infront of me once was a woman who
was hysterical.
He told her to take a deepbreath and she, she tried, she
didn't, and he got into her face, into her space and he says now
listen to me, listen to mecarefully.
(10:08):
And her whole composure changedbecause she came into the
present.
David Delrahim (10:15):
That's correct.
We're not there so when we are,so part of you know about the
creating, you know about thereally deep anxiety, to a point
that you might even think thatyou're experiencing a heart
problem or heart attack is lackof air, you know, but we just do
(10:37):
not have enough oxygen.
Roland Perez (10:39):
Let's talk about that.
Yeah, that deep breath.
David Delrahim (10:42):
That deep breath we forget.
It is really interesting whenwe are not present, we forget to
breathe oxygen.
A typical person uses only 30%capacity of his lung.
We just do not breathe rightand when we breathe we forget to
(11:07):
exhale.
So the accumulation, all ofthese CO2s, it creates anxiety
because ourselves, they thriveon oxygen, they want oxygen when
they don't receive properoxygen.
So when we are talking aboutthe spiritual component and then
(11:30):
the science behind it, thedefinition of the science has
always been there.
We can Google that.
But there is a spiritualbacking as well, parallel to the
science, and it cannot beignored.
It can't because we're aspiritual being.
(11:52):
So lack of oxygen createsanxiety.
How did we get to the lack ofoxygen?
We forget.
How did we forget?
Because we're not present, we'renot here, we're somewhere else
in this space, we are out oftouch with ourselves when we are
(12:17):
not here.
When we are here, this wholecollective consciousness is
together.
There's a togetherness.
When we are not, we're not,they're here and we are
somewhere else, there is notogetherness.
Roland Perez (12:33):
Some people soak some of that stress in alcohol
and drugs from what I believenot just treating.
It's just treating the symptoms.
It's not bringing you back tothe present, it's just taking
(12:55):
you out of the present, the pastand the future.
When you drink and you takealcohol correct, I mean it's not
going to do you any good.
David Delrahim (13:04):
Having a glass of wine in celebration carries
different consciousness thanwhen we are in fear and we are
trying to escape.
We're not willing Because weare in fear.
We're not willing to deal withwhat is in front of us Because
(13:26):
we have so much fear from it andwe're using those substances to
escape temporarily.
But we know that once we comeback it's the same thing.
It will always be the samething, because that's not going
to go away.
We go away temporarily for afew minutes, for a few hours,
(13:49):
and we come back to the samething.
And then they have more alcoholor more drugs and more and more
, and unfortunately, you knowwhat that path would lead to.
Roland Perez (14:03):
I had a friend of mine who was very stressed out
and we'd always meet in a bar.
Unfortunately, that's what histhing was to get away from the
stress.
And then I just said to him.
I said you know, next timelet's go someplace else where
we're not in a bar, somewhere.
(14:23):
Just why don't you come to myhouse?
You know, on a Saturday, comeover to the house.
And I did.
I walked in the room a smallhouse in the valley somewhere,
as I recall and family membersstarted to show up.
It was around 12.30, oneo'clock, and family members
(14:43):
started coming from the backyard, from the bedrooms in the
kitchen, and in about 10 minutesI was stressed.
It was the family that wasstressing about it.
There were four very strongpersonalities in the room.
What of them living in the past, always saying that, one of
them always trying to drag himinto the future, what are you
(15:05):
going to do about this?
What are you gonna?
He was being torn apart insidethe house.
So stress in the family isthat's a very important factor
is to Either avoid or correctthe stress that you have where
you live right.
David Delrahim (15:24):
So Everything in life is energy.
We are energy.
Joy is energy.
Stress is energy.
Energy is a.
Stress is the energy of chaos.
It's chaos and peace Is acompletely different energy.
(15:50):
All right is.
What we like says is it is asafe Space, is a safe energy.
That's why we would like to be,is a certainty, I Am good, I am
protected.
Then the word sanctuary that'swhat it means.
(16:11):
Home should be sanctuary.
When home has chaos in it, itis no good.
It is no good.
So what?
How do we deal with that?
Everything in life is abyproduct of choices that we
(16:31):
have.
We often say what is not mychoice is so-and-so.
That's not how it works.
That really takes us to takingresponsibility responsibility
For your friend that was inchaos.
He has a choice and he has totake responsibility.
(16:53):
He is there, but he has achoice to be out of there and or
, as a choice, to createboundaries and limitations with
everyone.
This is my sanctuary, so Ichoose my home to be my
sanctuary.
Anyone who is bringing theenergy of chaos is not welcome,
(17:17):
I tell you.
And the energy need to leave oryou need to switch your channel
.
It's a channel, because energyis channel is like a, m and fm
is Frequency.
The frequency of chaos is notwelcome.
So there's boundaries you haveto set.
No, it is boundaries andlimitations, boundaries you
(17:42):
create, for it is your space, isyour space of present, is your
space of sanctuary, and youguard that, make sure that
others will not get in and donot encroach With that energy of
chaos.
It's a choice and when they do,there are two ways to approach
(18:06):
it.
You ask them to reframethemselves from inviting that
energy and or you'll removeyourself from that energy.
Roland Perez (18:19):
If someone comes up to you and says I have a lot
of stress in my life, what can Ido this minute, this moment
that we have together, to lessenmy stress?
What would you say to someonewho is very stressed out?
They're looking for a littlerelief in their stress.
David Delrahim (18:40):
I had a case that a gentleman was extremely
stressed that he was suicidaland I had to make a decision
right at the spot to help himout because he was ready to pull
the trigger.
I said just pause for one hour.
Pause After one hour, dowhatever your heart desires.
(19:04):
He said I love you so much, Iwill honor you.
What do you want me to do?
I know that stress is the energyof chaos, and energy because we
are energy we attract.
When we are in chaos, weattract energy of chaos.
(19:26):
It's a law of attraction.
So the quickest way to get ridof those energies that we have
attracted is to get themcleansed in ocean water.
I said how far are you from theocean?
He said 20 minutes.
I said I have one hour with you.
(19:47):
I want you to go into the water, immerse yourself, make sure
the water stays over your headbecause I was doing energy
cleansing for the entire bodyand come out and call me.
I'm waiting.
He said I will do that.
He called me in about 45minutes.
(20:09):
I said how are you?
He said I love life.
I said that's all I needed toknow.
It was towards the end ofNovember, so it was cold day.
I knew that the ocean water wascold, which is really good for
(20:29):
to get rid of the inflammation.
Cold water, yes.
Then you have salt.
It's even better Then.
Energetically, ocean is anamazing place in terms of energy
cleansing and it really worked.
It really worked.
(20:50):
So that was a great example ofwhat I would do.
Roland Perez (20:58):
Not everybody lives near the water Right.
David Delrahim (21:00):
So what I would do?
You know what?
Get into an epsilon salt bath.
Cold epsilon salt bath, I woulddo it.
Just make sure you need to gounder the water.
Put your head under the watereven for a few seconds, and you
(21:21):
come out, so that gives you animmediate relief.
Because it's energy.
Gotta get rid of that energy.
I can ask him well, you have totake responsibility.
You have to start meditating.
It's a long process.
It's a long process.
I don't know if people reallywanna do it.
Unfortunately, in this society,we have programmed to seek for
(21:44):
immediate relief right now.
Take a pill right now.
So that is the best way toreally get rid of the energy.
Get a cold shower, cold shower.
You know what?
When we are really cold, wedon't think about the future, we
(22:07):
just wanna warm our body.
That's one way to bringyourself to the present.
Bringing yourself to thepresent, yes.
Roland Perez (22:16):

There are three stages of lifepast, present and future.

When we have, fear about thefuture creates uncertainty which
creates anxiety.
Anxiety is never about the past, it's always about the future.
And there comes the third part,which is present.
(02:07):
So where is peace?
Only in present.
Is that in the past?
Is that in the future?
That's why we try to begrounded, we try to be present,
Because that's the only placewhere the peace is.
Roland Perez (02:25):
The difference between stress and a little

What can I do?
You just remember the past,present, future.
(07:46):
The only place is present.
Am I present?
Roland Perez (07:52):
When.
David Delrahim (07:52):
I have uncertainty.
I am not being present.
I'm into the future.
Roland Perez (07:58):
So you put yourself in the present.
David Delrahim (08:00):
Yes, you bring yourself to the present if you
want to disconnect from a lot ofuncertainties.
Roland Perez (08:08):
How do you do?
David Delrahim (08:09):
that Exactly.
So how do we do that?
You know it's being grounded,it is being present.
It's just like when we arehaving a conversation, a very

It could be with our familymembers, spouse, friends, anyone

If it is even a five-minuteconversation, that is about 300

The rest of it we're not.
We're talking about what I didthis morning, that I shouldn't

What is he going to say?
So I'm having internalconversation with myself.
I'm not here, I'm somewhereelse in this space.
So by doing the meditations andbeing present and being in the
(09:14):

Roland Perez (10:39):
Let's talk about that.
Yeah, that deep breath.
David Delrahim (10:42):
That deep breath we forget.
It is really interesting whenwe are not present, we forget to

A typical person uses only 30%capacity of his lung.
We just do not breathe rightand when we breathe we forget to

We can Google that.
But there is a spiritualbacking as well, parallel to the

It can't because we're aspiritual being.
(11:52):
So lack of oxygen createsanxiety.
How did we get to the lack ofoxygen?
We forget.
How did we forget?
Because we're not present, we'renot here, we're somewhere else

But we know that once we comeback it's the same thing.
It will always be the samething, because that's not going
to go away.
We go away temporarily for afew minutes, for a few hours,
(13:49):
and we come back to the samething.
And then they have more alcoholor more drugs and more and more
, and unfortunately, you knowwhat that path would lead to.
Roland Perez (14:03):
I had a friend of mine who was very stressed out
and we'd always meet in a bar.
Unfortunately, that's what histhing was to get away from the
stress.
And then I just said to him.
I said you know, next timelet's go someplace else where
we're not in a bar, somewhere.
(14:23):
Just why don't you come to myhouse?
You know, on a Saturday, comeover to the house.
And I did.
I walked in the room a smallhouse in the valley somewhere,
as I recall and family membersstarted to show up.
It was around 12.30, oneo'clock, and family members
(14:43):
started coming from the backyard, from the bedrooms in the
kitchen, and in about 10 minutesI was stressed.
It was the family that wasstressing about it.
There were four very strongpersonalities in the room.
What of them living in the past, always saying that, one of
them always trying to drag himinto the future, what are you
(15:05):
going to do about this?
What are you gonna?
He was being torn apart insidethe house.
So stress in the family isthat's a very important factor
is to Either avoid or correctthe stress that you have where
you live right.
David Delrahim (15:24):
So Everything in life is energy.
We are energy.
Joy is energy.
Stress is energy.
Energy is a.
Stress is the energy of chaos.
It's chaos and peace Is acompletely different energy.
(15:50):
All right is.
What we like says is it is asafe Space, is a safe energy.
That's why we would like to be,is a certainty, I Am good, I am
protected.
Then the word sanctuary that'swhat it means.
(16:11):
Home should be sanctuary.
When home has chaos in it, itis no good.
It is no good.
So what?
How do we deal with that?
Everything in life is abyproduct of choices that we
(16:31):
have.
We often say what is not mychoice is so-and-so.
That's not how it works.
That really takes us to takingresponsibility responsibility
For your friend that was inchaos.
He has a choice and he has totake responsibility.
(16:53):
He is there, but he has achoice to be out of there and or
, as a choice, to createboundaries and limitations with
everyone.
This is my sanctuary, so Ichoose my home to be my
sanctuary.
Anyone who is bringing theenergy of chaos is not welcome,
(17:17):
I tell you.
And the energy need to leave oryou need to switch your channel
.
It's a channel, because energyis channel is like a, m and fm
is Frequency.
The frequency of chaos is notwelcome.
So there's boundaries you haveto set.
No, it is boundaries andlimitations, boundaries you
(17:42):
create, for it is your space, isyour space of present, is your
space of sanctuary, and youguard that, make sure that
others will not get in and donot encroach With that energy of
chaos.
It's a choice and when they do,there are two ways to approach
(18:06):
it.
You ask them to reframethemselves from inviting that
energy and or you'll removeyourself from that energy.
Roland Perez (18:19):
If someone comes up to you and says I have a lot
of stress in my life, what can Ido this minute, this moment
that we have together, to lessenmy stress?
What would you say to someonewho is very stressed out?
They're looking for a littlerelief in their stress.
David Delrahim (18:40):
I had a case that a gentleman was extremely
stressed that he was suicidaland I had to make a decision
right at the spot to help himout because he was ready to pull
the trigger.
I said just pause for one hour.
Pause After one hour, dowhatever your heart desires.
(19:04):
He said I love you so much, Iwill honor you.
What do you want me to do?
I know that stress is the energyof chaos, and energy because we
are energy we attract.
When we are in chaos, weattract energy of chaos.
(19:26):
It's a law of attraction.
So the quickest way to get ridof those energies that we have
attracted is to get themcleansed in ocean water.
I said how far are you from theocean?
He said 20 minutes.
I said I have one hour with you.
(19:47):
I want you to go into the water, immerse yourself, make sure
the water stays over your headbecause I was doing energy
cleansing for the entire bodyand come out and call me.
I'm waiting.
He said I will do that.
He called me in about 45minutes.
(20:09):
I said how are you?
He said I love life.
I said that's all I needed toknow.
It was towards the end ofNovember, so it was cold day.
I knew that the ocean water wascold, which is really good for
(20:29):
to get rid of the inflammation.
Cold water, yes.
Then you have salt.
It's even better Then.
Energetically, ocean is anamazing place in terms of energy
cleansing and it really worked.
It really worked.
(20:50):
So that was a great example ofwhat I would do.
Roland Perez (20:58):
Not everybody lives near the water Right.
David Delrahim (21:00):
So what I would do?
You know what?
Get into an epsilon salt bath.
Cold epsilon salt bath, I woulddo it.
Just make sure you need to gounder the water.
Put your head under the watereven for a few seconds, and you
(21:21):
come out, so that gives you animmediate relief.
Because it's energy.
Gotta get rid of that energy.
I can ask him well, you have totake responsibility.
You have to start meditating.
It's a long process.
It's a long process.
I don't know if people reallywanna do it.
Unfortunately, in this society,we have programmed to seek for
(21:44):
immediate relief right now.
Take a pill right now.
So that is the best way toreally get rid of the energy.
Get a cold shower, cold shower.
You know what?
When we are really cold, wedon't think about the future, we
(22:07):
just wanna warm our body.
That's one way to bringyourself to the present.
Bringing yourself to thepresent, yes.
