We trace how confusion and stress open the door to illness and how reframing, intention, and humor can help the body heal. We break down desire, inspiration, intention, and intuition, and share a simple classroom method to update subconscious stories and make real change stick.

• colds as confusion and mind–body susceptibility
• using laughter, attention shifts, and simple care
• subconscious stories shaping identity and choice
• reframe: the past does not determine the future
• leaving the old self and expecting resistance
• micro-intentions and small morning changes
• desire as calling and contrast
• inspiration chains and no coincidence lens
• intuition as inner guidance distinct from fear
• creative energy as love expressed
• student–teacher mindset for steady growth
• reframe classroom process and meditation pacing

Every day we're trying to do a live Zoom. So if you sign up for the school, you can have access to the Zoom links. I put them there right as maybe like half an hour before it starts. And yeah, let us know if you have any questions.

SPEAKER_00 (00:00):
We are on the line.

SPEAKER_01 (00:02):
Yoda, I got a cold.

SPEAKER_00 (00:04):
Me too.

SPEAKER_01 (00:06):
Confusion.

SPEAKER_00 (00:07):
Oh, last night was when you wake up in the night
and you can't swallow and it'sall go.

SPEAKER_01 (00:13):
Yeah.
Confusion.
Colds are confusion.
We talk about cold and fluseason, but it's really they're
times of confusion.
Everybody gets they talk aboutgetting their September cold.
Nah, September's crazy.
You're going from summerholidays back to school, back to
work, back to all these things.
You're trying to reorganize yourlife, trying to make sure
everybody has new clothes,trying to make sure everything's

(00:34):
working.
It's a it's a state ofconfusion.
And that's when you'resusceptible to colds.
Yeah.
It's not that colds go away.
It's not like the virus issuddenly gone.
It's always there.

SPEAKER_03 (00:45):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (00:46):
But there's a mental and emotional state that makes
you susceptible to it.
So I guess we're living inconfusion.

SPEAKER_00 (00:55):
Having the chat colds, huh?
Well, you know what that means.

SPEAKER_01 (00:59):
Exactly.
We do.
We do.
And it's sometimes it's a curse,right?
Sometimes it's a curse becausewe have this.
We've got Louise Hayes' booksitting on the table all the
time.
And every ailment, every acheand pain, every existence of
dis-ease that go to the book.
What does it represent?

(01:19):
Not saying don't take yourvitamin C.
I went out and bought vitamin C.
Not saying don't take yourvitamins, don't, you know, take
an advil or whatever you need,but you can also use your mind
at the same time.

SPEAKER_03 (01:31):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (01:31):
And, you know, a tool like Louise Hayes' book or
Bruce Lipton's books or Lee'sBarbone's books, they're all
just books that kind of explainthe mental emotional aspect that
makes us susceptible to diseasein its various forms.
We all know the power of emotionthat gets trapped inside of us.

(01:53):
I mean, that's why you'reprobably listening to this, is
because you go through momentsin your life where you say to
yourself, why did I do that?
Why did I say that?
Why did I get so upset?
Right.
And that's that's the power ofthe subconscious mind holding on
to these things for the whole ofour lives.
And then they express, they comeout in our body.

(02:14):
Everything, you know, to me,it's just it continues.
Everything is an expression ofthe mind.

SPEAKER_03 (02:19):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (02:20):
Everything, everything is an expression of
the mind.
Just ask the quantum physicists.

SPEAKER_00 (02:25):
Yeah, I I always find it just amazing.
I try to do it with myself too,besides just clients, but even
those emotions that you feel inthe body, those are an
expression of the mind.
When I take a client through,literally in their mind,
grasping onto energy withintheir heart or their chest or

(02:49):
their leg or their head,wherever, and pulling it out of
the body.
I just can't even believe everysingle time that afterwards they
can't find the feeling anymore.
And they feel like a feather.
So yeah, I just it's all anexpression humans have known it.

SPEAKER_01 (03:08):
Yeah, forever.
You know, we have this old, oldsaying, laughter is the best
medicine, right?
Like, yeah, how many times inyour life have you been
suffering with some kind ofillness, injury, disease, and
then something successfullypulls your mind somewhere else,

(03:29):
right?
Like I think the best thing youcan do when you're sick is to
watch comedies on TV, right?
Put on some comedy movies onNetflix.
You can take your holes, yourthroat lozenges, your your hot
toddies, whatever the heck youwant to do, right?
Whatever, you know, whateverspecial remedy you have that
seems to work for you, you cando all of that.

(03:51):
But the thing that makes thebiggest difference is to shift
your mind.

SPEAKER_00 (03:55):
And another good one, chat says, another good
one, the truth will set youfree.

SPEAKER_01 (04:01):
Yeah, you know, that's that saying by Carl Jung,
healing is the act of bringingthe unconscious into your
conscious awareness, yeah, beingaware of your your story.
Yeah, I there's I I have uhyeah, I have this ongoing,
evolving relationship with theconcept of story, right?
Ego is the story that we tellourselves about ourselves.

(04:24):
And the trick is not to gettrapped in it and not to think
that it's permanent, andcertainly not to think that it's
true.
And so I I really believe a lotof times the best thing we can
do therapeutically is help youdetach yourself from the story
you've been telling aboutyourself for a while.
That story has a theme, and thattheme has an energy, and that

(04:45):
energy stays with you as long asthat's the story you tell
yourself about yourself.
And so I think that there'sthere's a real value and
breaking away from your story.
But I also, even from you know,my own personal recent work.
Sometimes you gotta bring yourstory forward to know what story
to tell it, to realize that whatyou're doing is part of a larger

(05:08):
story you've been tellingyourself about yourself then.
And it's not that you bring itforward so you can own it,
because that's the problem withit, right?
The problem with it is you ownthat story.
I'm the one who has to take allthe responsibility in my family,
or I'm the one that never getswhat they really want.

(05:28):
Or, you know, I'm the one that'snever been truly appreciated for
who I am.
You know, all these kinds ofnegative stories that we tell
ourselves about ourselves.
We're always the hero of thestory.
Even when we're losing.
But but it's a story.
We string together all of ourexperiences.

(05:50):
We're pattern-making beings,right?
We string together all ourexperiences and we turn them
into a theme.
And that theme starts to becomewhat we look for.
That theme we use to justify ourrefusal to do what we need to
do.
Our it's a wall that we use, anemotionally charged wall that

(06:16):
keeps us from changing ouremotions and changing the way we
think about ourselves.

SPEAKER_03 (06:21):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (06:22):
And so, yes, there's value in bringing that story
forward and seeing the themesthat you put on your own
interpretation of your life.
And then it's really valuable tobreak free of them and say, you
know what?
No, that's not my story anymore.
It's one of the first reframes Ido in hypnosis.
When I get a client in who'sresistant, they're just
resistant.

(06:42):
They're just like, I don't knowwhat to do.
This is this is just the way mylife is, and I just don't like
it anymore.
And I don't know, right?
Just the simple reframe that thepast does not determine the
future.

SPEAKER_03 (06:53):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (06:53):
The past does not determine the future.
That's huge because most peopledo.
They see their past as definingwho they are, they see who they
are as defining their future.
They see the past as a path thathas put them right where they
are.
So obviously, the past hasdefined the future so far.
And they're really, reallyresistant to that.

(07:15):
But what they've forgotten isthat they can make other
choices.

SPEAKER_00 (07:20):
Uh yeah.
And excuse me.
I think Joe Dispenses says it,how it it can be uncomfortable
when you start to make thosechoices, right?
It it shifts the body, it shiftsthe mind into this state of
feeling uncomfortable,unbalanced.
And so we just like just like aneuron pathway inside the brain

(07:40):
that's sort of chiseled out,it's easy to for the car to get
back onto that highway, right?
That that isn't so easy totraverse and it it's kind of
sucking, but it feelscomfortable.
I'm gonna tell a little storyand I hope I can say it well.
I was listening to somebody theother day talking about how it's

(08:03):
almost like there's somerelationships that people have,
whether you're a young person oran adult.
And when you when you tell theperson that you want out of the
relationship, some people say,Well, I'm gonna do this if you
leave me.
Like I'm gonna slash your tire,you know, like I'm gonna go
crazy if you leave me.

(08:24):
And he said to pretend that youare leaving this version of you,
right?
Because this version of you willslash your tires to get you back
into their flow of life, right?
What they think is easy, eventhough it's crap.
And so, you know, it was alittle out there, but he's like,

(08:45):
you gotta kill off that thatversion of you and start to
feed, feed the new version ofyou.
I don't know.
Crazy little story, but yeah,sort of made sense in the
moment.

SPEAKER_01 (08:56):
It's it's the simplest thing, right?
And it's been said so manytimes, and every time I hear it,
it's just a nice little bell,like a reminder.
You can't make the same choicesand expect a different outcome.
You can't expect change in yourlife by doing the same things
you did yesterday.
Yeah, it is as simple as doingsomething differently.

(09:17):
Yeah, and it can be as simple asthe time you get up, or you
know, the the sequence of eventsin the morning changing from,
you know, brushing your teethand putting on your clothes and
having your coffee to startingwith your coffee and then going
from there, or you know, doingsomething completely different,
like taking 15 minutes of yourmorning and meditating for a

(09:41):
second.

SPEAKER_03 (09:41):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (09:42):
I mean, the power of intention is so far beyond what
we use.
Um, we don't most of us get upand are we expect to see what
happens today.

SPEAKER_00 (09:53):
Yeah, what's gonna happen?
What's gonna fall in my laptop?

SPEAKER_01 (09:56):
We know we're going to work, and we know that the
work day will start at this timeand end at that time, and the
rest of it is like, let's seewhat happens.
And that's a life that happensto you.
Yeah, when you get up with theintention, and the tent
intentions can be small, theycan be, they can be big, they

(10:18):
can be accomplishments, but theycan also be thematic, right?
Today, I am not gonna let thoseguys at work bother me.
Today I'm going to enjoy mylunch break, and I'm going to go
have this for lunch, because Ireally like that.

SPEAKER_03 (10:38):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (10:39):
The tiniest of intentions.
I mean, they change our day.
Think of those days when youknow you're going out for lunch
with your workmates.
Like that's so common at workfor people to say, okay, well,
it's payday.
Let's all go out for lunch.
And how everybody looks forwardto that, and how it becomes a
really happy, meaningful event,and how we really commit to that
because it's it feels so darngood.

(11:01):
And I'm not sure that it's thelunch itself that feels good as
much as it's the intentionfollowed by the action with that
light-hearted hope, awareness,intention to have a good time.

SPEAKER_00 (11:14):
Yeah, yeah.
Chat in the chat.
Growing and evolving is likeshedding your skin.

SPEAKER_01 (11:20):
Yeah, there yeah.
It's it's so commonplace in allof the in all of the stories and
the poetry and and the music.
You know, it's the beauty of thefuture can't happen without the
release of the past.
You gotta take stuff out of thegarage to fit the brand new car
in.

SPEAKER_00 (11:40):
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Right.
I remember a yoga session I wentto months back.
I was in the process, and Ithink I need to get back into
it.
I I've forgotten about it.
It was so part of my life monthsago.
Is sort of handing things overto to source God, universe.
And I thought, what do I need?
So we went to it through alittle meditation at the end of

(12:02):
yoga, and the intention for thatmeditation was to hand over to
the universe, let something cometo you that's meant to be handed
over.
And for some reason, my the thesign of the business was right
there, and it sort of floated upinto the light, into the into
these big hands taking it.

(12:24):
And I I was at first like, oh mygosh, oh my gosh, no, no, no.
But then I sort of went with it.
And it, and as we've seen, it'sjust been a morphing, it's been
a releasing.
It's not that we're getting ridof the business, but that we're
it's morphing.
It's we're allowing somethingelse greater to be in control
instead of little me runningaround trying to, you know, fix

(12:48):
everything or or be in control,you know.

SPEAKER_01 (12:51):
I think there's um there's a stew recipe of desire,
intention, inspiration.
You know, I think trying tobalance, well, let's just talk
about desire for a second.
You know, what you want, whatyou want.
It's it's funny.
Desire is a funny thing, youknow, because it's hard to tell
where where it comes from.

(13:12):
Desire arises suddenly in yourawareness, whether you bumped
into it or you can't evenremember when you first started
to desire something.
Desire is a a personalmotivation, it's it's an urge.
Would you talk about desire?

SPEAKER_00 (13:31):
I think I think desire is feeling almost like a
calling towards something.
I think there's a lot ofallowing involved, right?
Like you can't desire somethingif you don't allow yourself to
desire it.

SPEAKER_01 (13:44):
I think we don't dwell on desires if we have
mental constructs that thatsuggest you're not worthy,
you're not entitled, or you'renot allowed.
You might sometimes re have adesire and say, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no.

SPEAKER_03 (14:01):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (14:01):
But where do you think desire itself comes from?
Those would be our reactions toto desire, subconscious
reactions of desire.
Where do you think desire comesfrom?

SPEAKER_00 (14:10):
I think it comes from maybe wanting something new
or a contrast in your life.
Something that something thatyou have already or that you
feel already is not going maybethe way you want.
So you desire something new,like I desire a new vehicle, you
know, that kind of thing.

SPEAKER_01 (14:29):
So sometimes desires come out of contrast,
preference.
I think of my uh I always one ofmy favorite examples of people
is my son Spencer, and how sincehe was, I don't know, since he
was as early as he could havebeen, he's been interested in
pencils and papers and drawing.
And now I think most of hisartwork is, you know, computer

(14:50):
generated.
But the the point is that he hada desire to create, he had a
desire, and it would justspontaneously was there, and you
know, handing him a pad of paperand a pencil, he'd have a great
big smile on his face and awayhe'd go.
Or if you buy him a nice pencilor you buy him a nice piece of
sketch paper, it was like, ohboy.

(15:14):
And he always pursued thatdesire, right?
Today he's a professionalartist, and I think that
sometimes we just simply have,yeah, a calling.

SPEAKER_00 (15:23):
Kat says a strong in intention.

SPEAKER_01 (15:25):
A strong intention.
It's all semantics, I suppose.
Uh whether I I use the wordintention as a very result
thing, but maybe that's a betterway to think of it, as that
there's something in you.
Maybe that's your higher self,right?
Maybe your desires flow from theintentions of your higher self.

SPEAKER_00 (15:44):
Yeah, I think they're almost like little
Easter eggs at first.
And then Yeah, I never thoughtof it that way.
Yeah, they're sort of implantedin our energy field.
I think it all almost like umthere's this sort of out there
idea, which I I strongly believein because I've really
experienced it.
So personally I believe in it,but there's this idea that
there's this greaterconsciousness, sort of just

(16:06):
imagine this huge consciousnessthat surrounds the earth.
And when we are meant todiscover something or create
something, or something's meantto happen on this plane of
existence, there's these littletiny Easter eggs of that just
placed into the con the greaterconsciousness.

(16:28):
And it's like the people,there's some people around the
world that get those littleEaster eggs because maybe
they're open to it or it's partof their plan, right?
And whoever moves on it firstand carries it through, that's
who we hear about, right?
Like, yeah, I don't know how todescribe it any better than
that.

SPEAKER_01 (16:46):
Well, that really leads us to the idea of
inspiration, right?
I think part of this, this likethere's an urge, there's a
desire, and then there's itstarts to become, I don't know,
it uh starts to crystallize alittle bit, and it becomes sort
of an inspiration, and thingscome at us from all directions.
Yeah, I think I think the firstthing I want to say about

(17:08):
inspiration before we go intoquestioning what it is, the
first thing I want to say aboutinspiration is that everybody's
inspirations come to themuniquely to them.
We were talking about this thismorning.
Everybody's inspirations come tothem in a way that speaks to
them.
And for me, it's uh almost anexperience like a magnet pulling
a whole bunch of things togetherinto one spot.

(17:31):
Ideas that existed on their ownsuddenly make sense because this
thing pulls them all into onespot, and then you see how they
fit together.
I I think inspiration.
People talk about signs.
I received a sign.
People talk about, you know,having an idea just come to them

(17:55):
that suddenly makes sense inrelation to a whole bunch of
other things they were thinkingabout.
You know, like that, like Ithink of that magnet pulling a
whole bunch of what would seemlike different, unrelated
things, pull them together inone spot and say, oh, this all
makes sense.
You know, inspiration is goingto come to you from your own

(18:15):
unique places.
You know, there are those peoplewho are very, very open to being
led and guided, and there arepeople who are very resistant to
it, but still know and can tellyou when they are inspired.

SPEAKER_03 (18:30):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (18:31):
When things have happened that they feel like,
oh, I just, you know, it it'salmost like something becomes a
should.
Right.
I I, yeah, this is somethingthat I should be pursuing, that
I that I should get a hold of,that I should do.
You know, inspiration comes inthe form of people, you know, it
and and the inspiration can comein a chain of events.

(18:52):
You know, today I think of mybuddy and I give him a call and
he says, let's go to lunch, andthen we go to lunch, and then
we're having lunch and we'retalking about something that's
got me thinking.
And then when I leave lunch, Ibump into this store that has
this thing in the window, andsuddenly the whole thing comes

(19:12):
to me.
And but for thinking about myfriend, I never would have got
to there.
Sometimes inspiration comes inchains of events.
And for me, again, like ifsomebody wants to be really,
really rational and logical,they're going to tell you that
you're being ridiculous aboutyour inspiration, right?

(19:33):
This is just a chain of events,just coincidence, which when
somebody uses the wordcoincidence to me, I I get kind
of riled up.
I get kind of riled up becausethere's no such thing as
coincidence, because there's aninfinite number of things that
could happen.

SPEAKER_00 (19:48):
Oh, yeah.
Well, like why that, you know.

SPEAKER_01 (19:51):
Yeah, like why that one?
Yeah.
This is not like this is one inten.
This is not like a probabilitycalculation where there's only
52 cards in the deck and you gota one in 52 chance at guessing
which one it is.
This is like trillions ofpossibilities, and these three,
four events all just seem toline up, right?

(20:14):
So I'm a big believer that,first of all, whatever way your
inspiration comes to you, youhonor it and you don't listen to
anybody else.

SPEAKER_03 (20:22):
Yep.

SPEAKER_01 (20:22):
Because they'll either try to explain it away or
they'll try to interpret it foryou.

SPEAKER_03 (20:27):
Yep.

SPEAKER_01 (20:27):
And although it's not, it doesn't mean you can't
share it with people that youlove and trust and that you
shouldn't listen to what otherpeople say.
But what matters is that youtrust your internal, well, let's
use that word, guidance system.

SPEAKER_00 (20:42):
Yeah.
And I think people struggle withis this my internal guidance
system or is this intuition thatI'm wrong?
It's like we're we're all, howdo I say this?
We're all intuitive beings untilsomething sounds too good to be
true.
And it makes me think of we havea we have a friend who I just

(21:03):
laugh like every time you knowthis story well.
She needed a car a new car.
And she, I can't rememberexactly the chain of events, but
it was like, oh, well, we have,you know, she mentioned it to
me, and I was like, oh, well,we've got a an inn or we know
someone, and so let's let's goand you can meet them.
And then she was like, hmm, I'mnot sure.

(21:24):
I I need a sign.
And so then she saw, I don'tknow, a feather or something
like that.
And she was like, Oh, I should,yeah, I should get the car.
But I need another sign.
I need it to be like really, andthen so then she's driving
behind somebody one day, andtheir license plate says get the
car or something crazy likethat.
It was like, it was like reallyon point.

(21:46):
But then she's like, Well, Idon't know, like I need another
sign.
I need another sign.
And anyway, she ended up gettingthe car, and then while she was
there, she's like, I'm gonna putmy name in for this draw, the TV
that's there.
She freaking wins the TV.
Like, it's just, it was all soinspired, but we question

(22:09):
ourselves, like, like, and weeven we question our intuition,
and then we go on to questionthe thoughts against it as if
that's intuition.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, we get caught up in these.

SPEAKER_01 (22:22):
Yeah, I think it's fair to say that inspiration
seems to come out of nowhere.
Ideas that seemed to come out ofnowhere.
We could talk another time aboutwhere they come from.
But the point is that an ideacomes to you that is not one
that you have often or one thatyou have ever thought before.

(22:43):
But it's important to understandthat that's when the
subconscious mind kicks in,right?
You've got all this programming,right?
And you've been taught since youcould think not to take chances.
You have been taught to belogical.
You have taught, been taught tobe cautious.
You have been taught to dismissthat which sounds crazy, right?

(23:07):
So the instant inspirationcomes, yes, many of us, our
immediate reaction is to dismissit, to push it away, to say, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no.
That that can't be the case.
And so see that as separate fromthe inspiration itself.
See your reaction to theinspiration as separate from the
inspiration itself.

(23:28):
And your reaction to it, seethat as a program, see that as a
mental construct that has beeninstalled in you.
And again, like, don't don't getupset about this.
This is this is, you know, mymother taught me to be cautious
because she loved me and shecared about me, and she wanted
me to be safe always, and shewanted me to avoid certain

(23:51):
things, right?
And you know, I passed that crapon to my kids.
I can think of specificexamples.
The point is that you have alots of subconscious program
reactions to things, and they'remeant to keep you safe.
And inspiration often leads youin directions that can feel

(24:12):
risky, they can feel unsafe,they can trigger your physical
body in unsafety, but separatethose two, right?
Separate the inspiration fromyour reaction to it.

SPEAKER_03 (24:27):
And yes, I'm sorry, not to interrupt you.

SPEAKER_01 (24:29):
No, no, I guess I want to move on to understand
let's talk about whereinspiration comes from.
Or is there a question?

SPEAKER_00 (24:36):
Well, not a question.
I I think I was talking prettyfast before, so I I can't
remember if I said this, but inthe chat, creative energy mixed
with enthusiasm.
Maybe that's where it comesfrom.
This creative energy builds up.
Uh because I mean, when youthink about inspiration, it's
kind of at that those excitingmoments.
Think about yesterday you'reyou're listening to the

(24:56):
meditation in the reframeclassroom.
By the way, that's on schoolnow.
But you were like, oh, this isactually really good.
And now I'm excited to makeanother one, right?
There's that excitement that'sinspired, creative energy mixed
with that enthusiasm.

SPEAKER_01 (25:11):
Yeah, I wanna.
That's a I think that's a animportant point.
So I'm gonna sound like I'mlosing my mind here, but I spent
a lot of time on this.
Like, what is create, what isthe creative urge?
And I'm gonna immediately tellyou that that is the nature of
love.

(25:31):
Love, real love, is expansiveand creative.
It extends, it reaches out, andit naturally creates.
And when people talk aboutsource, they talk about love and
that it's the natural tendencyof life to expand, it's the
natural tendency of life toextend out, and in that

(25:56):
extension, it creates along theway.
And so I think that's that's abeautiful read that again uh
from the chat.

SPEAKER_00 (26:05):
Creative energy mixed with enthusiasm.

SPEAKER_01 (26:08):
Yeah, it's kind of like your love goes out, and as
it extends, it bumps intosomething it likes and just
wants more of that.
Creative energy.
I think your creative energyinternally is is truly the
expressive form of love.
A love of life, a love of being.

(26:30):
I just had an eagle fly by.
Isn't that nice?
And that's your nature.
Let's let's let's finish thatthought.
That is your nature.
If source is love, then you arelove.
In fact, that's very common inmany meditations today.
Love made me love.
It's part of the course inmiracles.
Love made me love.

(26:50):
That's your nature.
There's things that get in theway of that.
Life is a hard thing, and theworld is a scary place
sometimes.
And being in a body is hard tomanage, but your nature is love.

SPEAKER_00 (27:00):
Yeah.
Let's take a one-minuteintermission.
I'll be right back.
I'm just gonna turn off the micfor a second.
And we're back.
Too much tea.
Yeah, I think uh I I'vementioned this to clients
before, and I think it wasdefinitely channeled because I
had never thought of it before.

(27:21):
Before it came through, was justthis idea.
Like you're saying, like love iscreation.
And if the base of our existenceand all that is around us are,
let's say, I don't know, I don'tknow the exact names.
You actually probably do knowthe atoms, but something that's

(27:41):
smaller than the atoms, thequarks and quarks, whatever they
are, right?
Even down to the strings, theidea of strings.
These are blipping in and out ofexistence so quickly that we we
we cannot distinguish throughour eyes, through our brain at
this level.

(28:02):
We just see it as form, we seeit as physical, but it is
literally blipping in and out ofexistence so quickly, but we
can't tell.
But at the base of it all, whatI'm getting at is at the base of
it all, it is what we call love,because I don't know if there's
a better word for it yet.
A feeling of complete, completeconnection and that everything

(28:25):
is okay and that you are heldand loved, and it is a feeling
that is indisc undescribable,indescribable.
I've felt it once, but if that'sthe case, then I the the love
that is creating me is creatingthis pen in front of me, is
creating the book in front ofme, is creating my phone, is
creating the computer, iscreating you, is creating my

(28:48):
fish tank, create the table thatwe're sitting at, the chairs
that we're sitting on.
Everything is that is that atthe at the base level.
It just looks different, youknow?
So yeah, that's my the thecollapsing of the field.
Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.

(29:08):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (29:09):
Yep.
Sometimes I wish it were just inmy head so I wouldn't have to
try to use words.
Right?
It all makes perfect senseinside my head.
I'm I'm there.
It's just sometimes it doesn'tmake its way out of my mouth the
way I want it to.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (29:27):
You get it, right?
No.
Exactly.
Oh man.

SPEAKER_01 (29:32):
Yeah, so inspiration.
I do believe that we I dobelieve that we're here for a
purpose.
I do believe that the purpose isgenerally learning, but I
believe that we are constantlyboth teachers and students.
And I find that reframe withwith almost all of my clients is
huge, right?

(29:52):
We teach what we know by beingwho we are.
And people observe that andpeople learn from that.
And it's not like you're outthere being this perfect example
of living.
You don't need to be.
Sometimes, you know, people arelearning the easy way, sometimes
people are learning the hardway.
But either way, people areexperiencing and interpreting

(30:14):
and figuring things out as theygo.
And and when I live a life,those that are within my arm's
reach are going to always beobserving and sometimes learning
things that are helpful to them.
And some some other times, youknow, maybe not so much.
We're always teaching and we'realways learning.

(30:35):
We're always observing others.
We're always observing theworld.
We're always interpreting what'sgoing on around us.
And we're always learning,sometimes practical things, and
sometimes meaning, meaning tothings, and sometimes higher
level things without evenknowing it.
You know, I am a teacher and Iam a student always.

(30:55):
And my existence is to be astudent and be a teacher.
And when I stop worrying aboutwhat I'm teaching or learning
and allow my authentic self tocome forward, then there's order
in the world.
If we were all out there justbeing our authentic selves,
which I think we are most of thetime, then all of us would be

(31:17):
learning what we need to learn,and all of us would be teaching
what we need to teach.
But I think that's a greatreframe, a great way to look at
your life.
You know, I was created as astudent and a teacher, and
that's every moment of my life.
So I believe that we areinspired by others.
We're inspired by our higherself that sent us here to have

(31:39):
this experience.
Yeah, I'm quite aware that Ihave guides, and I'm in the
habit now every night.
It's been this way for a fewmonths, every night.
I just say, hey, make tonightworthwhile.
Teach me something.
Take my sleep and teach mesomething that I need to know.
And yes, it happens more andmore and more that I wake up
aware of what I have been taughtbecause I go to sleep with the

(32:02):
intention, and maybe that's thesegue.
I go to sleep with the intentionof being taught.
So, where does the intention fitin this triangle?
Desire, inspiration, andintention.

SPEAKER_00 (32:17):
Okay, I've had my inspiration.
I am desiring.
Intention is now moving theship, maybe, you know, like in
the direction, stating now whatyou wish.
And because you've let go of thestory, it's easy to move, easier
to move the ship and allow that,which is always flowing towards
you, to actually come into yourawareness.

SPEAKER_01 (32:40):
Maybe this is that enthusiasm part that uh Barb
mentioned.
Embracing the desire and theinspiration, loving the desire
and the inspiration, wanting tobring the desire and the
inspiration to life, decidingthat you will bring them to
life.
Each of these steps, I think, isis significant.
And it's almost like you can seehow inspiration and desire come

(33:04):
together in intention.
But each each part of this, it'simportant to see how you have a
subconscious mind that isheavily trained to tell you a
story about you that you'regoing to cling to because you've
been telling it to yourself forso long.
And you've used it to explainwhy things sometimes go well,

(33:26):
sometimes don't go well.
You've used it to explain toyourself why you have certain
experiences over and over andover.
You use the story as both asword and a shield, but
sometimes the value isrecognizing that that just
exists in my subconscious mindas a program, as a set of

(33:46):
experiences that I'm using mostof the time to protect myself.

SPEAKER_03 (33:51):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (33:52):
And that sometimes, and I say this to my clients all
the time, and when I say it tothem, sometimes they just their
eyes just bug out of their head.
I say, so what you're reallydoing is protecting yourself
from your own happiness.
And that's just so true.
We use our story, we use ourprogram to protect us, but it
often protects us from thehappiness that we seek, from the

(34:13):
joy that we seek, from theexperiences that we yearn for.
And so I think it's important tosee all of these as arising from
a beautiful place inside usdesire, inspiration, and
intention, and that they will bereacted to by the subconscious
mind, by subconsciousprogramming.

(34:34):
And I guess that leads us to theidea that, you know, our
desires, our inspirations, ourintentions are going to run up
against our limiting beliefs.

SPEAKER_00 (34:43):
And I think when those are out of the way, it
allows a natural energy flow toflow through all three.
And when that's flowing, it'slike things just fall into
place.
That person reaches out that canhelp you, right?
You have the desire to feel freeand suddenly, like, you know,
Barb, she has inspiration todownload an app to look after

(35:06):
homes.
Right.
And things just start to fallinto place.
I think I'm just maybe makingcrap up.

SPEAKER_01 (35:12):
Well, I think I think inspiration then becomes
part of intention.
Now intention is, you know, Ihave decided I'm going to follow
through with this inspiration.
And then we fall back toinspiration as we go along.
We recognize the signs.
We go with inspiration when ourguts are telling us, try this.

(35:34):
It might not sound rational, butit works.
And so many people tell storiesof how they accidentally got the
thing that they wanted, how itseemed to come out of nowhere.
It seems to be almost the waypeople tell the story when
somebody says, Oh, look whatI've got.
And yeah, it just seemed tohappen because I just sort of
decided to do that, and thenthis happened, and then that

(35:56):
came about, and then all of asudden it was right there.
And and I think that people tellso many of those stories.
And I guess examining yourself,how many times you've told that
story, how many times you'vetold that story to yourself that
says, Look at how I got lucky,or look at how things came
together for me.
It was almost an accident.
In some ways, that allows us tofeel more allowing for it to

(36:21):
happen, right?

SPEAKER_00 (36:22):
Yeah, if we thought that we created it, we might
feel guilty.
Well, we might feel guilty, butare we scared of being creators
in the chat?
Mental determination to dowhatever it is we want to do.

SPEAKER_01 (36:35):
Yeah, I think it's sort of a strange combination of
saying, I want to get from hereto there while accepting that
the pathway is going to belittered with breadcrumb and
I've got to follow thebreadcrumb.
So it's turning back toinspiration and intuition.
Maybe a new addition to ourtriangle is intuition.

SPEAKER_00 (36:54):
I would even go as far to say inspiration and
intuition are uh go hand inhand.

SPEAKER_01 (37:00):
I'm gonna say that inspiration can come, it can be
something that comes to us fromthe outside, and intuition is
that which comes from theinside.
Inspiration might be somethingwe see that energizes us and
gets us moving.
And intuition is trusting theinternal voice when it speaks to
you.

SPEAKER_00 (37:20):
I like that.
I'm sorry about the chat.

SPEAKER_01 (37:23):
But you know me, I like words.
I like communicate.
I like trying to be good atcommunicating, I like trying to
be good at explaining.
I like uh I always enjoyed therole of teaching, played a lot
of roles in my life, but Ienjoyed trying to take what I
knew and share it with others ina way that others could receive
it and hopefully be excited byit.

(37:45):
And had positive experiencesdoing that.
This is a story I tell myselfanyway.
And yeah, so I like thinkingthat way.

SPEAKER_00 (37:53):
Do you want to have that lead into just kind of what
we're doing at the school in thereframe classroom?

SPEAKER_01 (37:59):
I don't know.
Do you thought so?
So the the school is for me akind of an exciting idea because
of yeah, where I naturally comefrom.
And so the idea of teachingreframes is is exciting to me,
right?
It plays into my creativity, itplays into my inspiration, it

(38:19):
plays into my intuition, becomesa desire to make a difference
for people by explaining things.

SPEAKER_00 (38:26):
And a sorry to interrupt, and a reframe, just
to for anyone wonderinglistening to this, what is a
weak reframe?
In my opinion, it's just takingsomething that we've thought and
thought and thought over andover again about life and just
reframing it a littledifferently to make a deep
change at the subconscious mind.

SPEAKER_01 (38:45):
Yeah, reframes have been around forever.
Anytime you think of thingsdifferently, you have reframes.
Sometimes reframing comes fromlearning something new,
sometimes reframing comes fromrealizing something isn't true.
Sometimes reframing comes froman experience, and sometimes

(39:06):
reframing comes from a book thatyou read or a movie that you
saw.
You're, you'll, you'll recognizereframes because you feel a
shift inside yourself, like, oh,that's a valuable idea.
Reframing in the process ofhypnosis is really changing the
meaning that we put onexperiences.
When we when things happen, weput meaning on them.

(39:28):
We interpret them.
And often we interpret themincorrectly.
Often we interpret them withfear and we're protective and
we're cautious.
Often we interpret themnegatively.
You know, if somebody says, lessyou're a goof, I can interpret
that as I'm a goof.
Oh my God, I'm a goof.
I don't know what to do.

(39:48):
What's the value of my life ifI'm a goof?
But I don't think that's a wiseway to interpret it.
What would be better for me tointerpret is, you know, the
person who said that to me ishaving a bad day.
They're lashing out, they'reattacking because they're having
a bad time.
They can't know whether or notI'm a goof.
And uh and I'd like to think I'mnot a goof.
And I think none of us aregoofs.

(40:10):
And so it can't mean that I'm agoof, but it could mean a lot
about that, right?
Reframing is changing themeaning of things that happen in
a way that's helpful and moretrue, right?
And when I use reframes withclients, the ones that really
make the big difference are theones that they can recognize the

(40:32):
truth in them consciously andthen pass that truth into their
subconscious so that theirsubconscious can use it as part
of that fast, reactive part oftheir nature, that program.
So reframes are just really theway that we find our way through
the world, trying to figure outthe truth and trying to respond

(40:55):
to the conditions around us inthe most helpful way for
ourselves.
And a lot of us have thosereactive programs, a lot of us,
all of us have those reactiveprograms, and all of us have
reactive programs that aren'thelpful.
They don't guide us towards ourgreatest and highest happiness.
So a reframe takes those coreideas and shifts them to

(41:15):
something more truthful andsomething very meaningful to the
way we might live our lives.

SPEAKER_00 (41:21):
So the classroom is it's called reframe.
Reframe is super easy.
You just click on that if you'reif you're coming into the
school, you click on theclassrooms tab, you go to the
reframes, and you know, we'vestarted, Les has started to put
teachings in there, meditations.

SPEAKER_01 (41:36):
And if things go the way I hope, there'll be dozens
of them in there over the nextfew months.
And I'm trying to approach themon this kind of simple
explanation basis, step by step,thing by thing, understanding
how your mind works,understanding how events become
experiences, and how experiencesbecome beliefs and become the

(41:57):
way that we react to our livesrather than respond to
opportunity.

SPEAKER_00 (42:03):
So, you know, if you're with us still in the show
notes or the description of thisaudio or video, whichever one
you're viewing it as, there willbe a link to the school.

SPEAKER_01 (42:14):
The process is easy.
Go to the classroom, watch thevideo, then listen to the
meditation.
There's the first reframe is up.
There's a couple of meditationsthere, but don't listen to them
both.
Listen to one, pick the one youwant, doesn't matter.
Give yourself a few days, andreally would love to hear back
if you notice anything, if youexperience anything, if you feel

(42:36):
anything, if you think anything,would really love to know what
your reaction is.
And then after a couple of daysof letting that first one settle
in, you know, you could do thewhole process again and listen
to the second meditation or thethe other meditation.
And yeah, watch the video again.
So the process is that if theconscious mind sees something as

(42:58):
making sense, the unconsciousmind, the subconscious mind will
be open to it.
And that's how we get around thecritical fact.

SPEAKER_00 (43:04):
But anyway, do they listen to it repeatedly or just
once?

SPEAKER_01 (43:08):
You can listen to it as much as you want, but I would
listen to it and then giveyourself time to see if you
observe any effect.

SPEAKER_00 (43:17):
Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (43:18):
Right.
And that might be a day, thatmight be two days, that might be
a week, right?
They're they're two differentmeditations.
They both guide you into asimilar place.
They're both meant to reframeand restructure subconscious
programming and just see,listen, wait and see.
Then after you have an awarenessof what has or hasn't happened,

(43:39):
listen to the other one and seewhat has or hasn't happened.

SPEAKER_00 (43:43):
Yeah.
So thank you for joining ustoday to talk about desire,
intention, inspiration,intuition, all that fun stuff.
Every day we're trying to do alive Zoom.
So if you sign up for theschool, you can have access to
the Zoom links.
I put them there right as maybelike half an hour before it

(44:05):
starts.
And yeah, let us know if youhave any questions.
We'll see you later.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
