Speaker 1 (00:03):
You are listening to I Am Refocused Radio with your
host Shamaiah Reid. This show is designed to inspire you
to live your purpose and regain your focus. And now
here's your host, Shamaiah Reid.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Well the time you focus? Ready once again, we are
here today, and today we have a true guest, so true,
and they're talking to Kristen Dala Warta and we're gonna
be talking all about power of love and in their
truth because he not only was an amazing tech X speaker,
but he also is a personal transformation coach. He has
been over thirty years helping people remember who they truly
(00:41):
are beneath all the noise. He's an internationally known respected
speaker and coach and how us also have attained awards,
so you know his street credit is good, but most importantly,
his story he's even better. So outside the stages and
the selling books like Awakening the Soul of Power, he's
(01:04):
going to share with us the background story. So first
and foremost one, welcome to the show today, Christian.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
How you doing that, hey, Sam? And what a beautiful introduction.
Appreciate being here with you. Thank you, I appreciate your time.
Because the proof is right in the story. So this
John Brian too, when you think about your beginning, I
remember reading bio that you went from a shy, self
doubting person to a global force. So how did you
(01:34):
find that motion of transforming from where you were to
where you are today? Yeah, you know, I was. I
was born in Cuba, so I lived in a communist
country for the first ten years of my life. And
I always had a sense of purpose, like I always
knew that I had kind of a mission, a work
(01:55):
to do, to make a difference in this world and
real human lives. And yet I was painfully shy, like
I was okay one on one, but if you added
a third human clammed up and speaking in public, forget it,
Like that was not going to happen. And yet it
was that sense of mission that got me through that
(02:17):
I was like I knew I had to get over
it and past high school, Like I got through high
school without speaking in public. But at that point I
took I signed up for a public speaking course. And
is that that concept of field of fear and do
it anyway? That's what it was. For fourteen weeks, I
had to get up and give three two minute speeches
(02:39):
and I hated it. Come Monday night, I was already
dreading Thursdays. And but you know, after doing it three
times a day, week after week, like stop being such
a big deal. And here I am.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
When you think about power, you say, power isn't about control,
is about presence. And it takes an art to do
that because as an amateur, anyone can have these big
dreams and big thoughts. But when the reverends throw in
reality hit shooting points out your weak spots, you might
(03:17):
have to give you so a little bit more time
and grace.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah. Yeah, And power is like such an important issue
to talk about, and I'm an unlikely person to be
speaking about it because I know powerlessness. I know depression.
My adolescence was one long depression. I know self doubt,
I know self hatred. And yet flash forward to today
(03:42):
and looking at my life, no matter the details, the circumstances,
where whether a relationship works out or it doesn't, whether
a project succeeds or it fails. In quotes, never ever,
ever do I question my sense of self. My self
worth is cakeable, and so I know if that can
(04:02):
happen in me, it can happen in anybody. And power
is you know, we've been so conditioned to think that
power is a bad thing, like power corrupts, and absolute
power corrupts absolutely, and what good person wants to be corrupted?
And then add to that the countless times that we
(04:23):
have all witnessed abuse as a power, like any given day,
not only in our personal lives, but on the global scale.
You've got to watch the news or read through the
headlines that it's apout at least one. And so when
you combine those two things is what happens is we
end up giving our power away? How many times? How
(04:45):
many times have we said yes when inside it was
a no. Inside it really wasn't okay with us, But
in order to maintain an illusion of peace in order
because we feel rejection and we don't want to feel
like if we really beat all who we are, that
we might end up alone, and so we stuff ourselves,
(05:05):
We play small, we hide our light under a bushel,
and it's not a good strategy because that only leads
to frustration. And so what I started to realize that
what that book is about awakening the Solo Power, is like,
how do we step into power in a different way?
How can I step and owe my hour and my
(05:26):
power in a way that doesn't require higher arcing or control,
that doesn't require that I put anybody down, step on them,
put my knee to their neck in order for me
to prop myself off and feel powerful. So it's all
about power with rather than power over.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
People can find themselves at times playing small, and playing
small can contribute to you giving them power away. What
have you learned in your moments when you think about
times you play small, what do you believe we lose
in those moments? And how can we prevent ourselves from
(06:09):
repeating that process? Because it's not something that thing that
we can easily to do with a snap of the finger.
But if we flag, then we can learn how to
not continue that pattern of gain our power away.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, and you're right, that is the highest price we
pay when we play smallst We lose ourselves. We're sacrificing
our authentic selves. And that's big because there isn't anybody
out there in this universe or any other universe for
that matter, who has the same genetics, the same set
(06:48):
of experiences, the same preferences, likes, desires, dreams that make
each one of us unique, that make each one of
us who we are. So if we don't give expression
to that, ain't nobody else going to do it? And
that is a huge loss to all of humanity, to
all of consciousness. So how do we get through it?
(07:10):
Like short short way to it is cut it out,
like stop, like I get it, I've done it. I
understand it completely, the playing it safe, the not wanting
to rock the boat too much. And I also know
that it's not a good strategy and that the like
(07:31):
that is the universal imperative is to be all of
who we are, and that is how we make the
best and biggest difference in the world. And yes, it's
going to take a pre process of discovery because a
lot of times we don't even know who we are.
So start them all right, going within. There's no way
around that. Nobody else can tell us that. Nobody else
(07:51):
can tell us who we are, So it requires a
deep process of going within and figure it. Start with
more superficial stuff, the way, the more surface level stuff.
What do you like do you like chuckolate of Vanilla?
Do you like actual movies or rom coms? Right, start
with the easy stuff. How do you like to spend
your free time? And then start asking yourself the deeper
(08:14):
and deeper question, what makes you come alive? What makes
time stop when you're doing X, Y or Z?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
All? Right?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Like, why are you here? Why are you really here?
How are you going to make the most out of
this very short time we have on this beautiful planet?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
We say all that, it makes me think about relationships
that we have in our lives, and you've written books
on that. When you think about being conscious of what
we are doing in the very moment, how does that
position us to have healthier relationships? Because if we don't
(08:53):
like what we've seen them nearer, how can we expect
ourselves to extent ourselves to other people?
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Exactly? Right, People, people we attracted are only going to match,
They're going to meet us at that same level, right,
Like we're like water seeking its own level. So we're
if we're approaching relationship thinking like there's something wrong with
us or you know, like we're not good enough, like
all those misunderstandings that we take we picked up along
the way in childhood, none of it true, none of
(09:21):
it real. But that's if that's how we're approaching life,
If that's how we're approaching relationships, that's what we're going
to get back from life. So that's the benefit of
doing this deeper work that we're talking about, is because
we free ourselves, we work through all these misunderstandings and
confusions and untruths about who we are, and little by
(09:43):
little we start peeling the layers and letting go of
the stuff that no longer works, the stuff that we
have outgrown and that we're ready to shed, like an
old snake skin that can no longer contain us and
hold us back. And pretty soon we start unleashing that
light that is inside every single one of us. And
that's our job. Nobody else can do that for us,
(10:05):
and that's where our happiness lies. That's where our fulfillment
will be found.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I'm a visual person, and we said that. I just
had a visual of an individual standing guard in front
of the door and if you look beyond that door,
where they're blocking is the light. So when you say
that we are in control and we are responsible of
(10:33):
letting that light shine, that's what it is. No one
else can downloup or down down. What we do is
up to us to open that door and that that
light go through is by our choices. Your choices is
your life. You know life, just look at the choices.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
They make, beautifully said, and I love that visual well,
I'm also a visual person. I was right with you.
Open that door, cracking it open and start small, right, like,
just crack it a little bit at first, maybe open
the little window in the door to see who is
what's on the other side. But do it. You gotta
do it because, like we're saying, nobody's going to be
(11:16):
able to do it for us. And that's where our power,
our purpose, all of it lies our happiness.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Once again, listening, we focused, reading, watching this online, talking
to our guests today Christian dayla Warta and you can
go to his websitesoulfulpower dot com. When you consider how
there is a difference between where we want to be
versus reality, and it's very tempting when you're trying to
(11:47):
better yourself and they progress to prematurely place yourself where
you want to be in the future. But it's almost
like driving a car with no wheels. You're not gonna
go anywhere anytime soon until you indest needs that are
meeting the moment in present time, kind of touch on them,
the audience, because in order for us to build systems
(12:10):
to actually work for us. We have to find out
what is holding us back.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah, I love that question. So I'm gonna pause on
that and finish what we would saying. I do want
more think that we were saying before, because I know
there might be somebody watching or listening who who will think, Well,
but how arrogant to think that we have light and
that I have work to do. We've been conditioned right
to believe to play small, you can't shine too much.
(12:40):
Have been taught to hide and not let ourselves be seen.
And to me it's the other way around. The arrogance
is playing small. Who the blankety blank do we think
we are hiding or light? At this time where it's
all hands on deck, we are all needed fully as
fully as possible to make a difference in this world.
(13:02):
The planet's going to be fine. It might take millions
of years, but life will continue, Consciousness will continue, unfolding
and evolving in some way, whether we make it as humans. Hmm, right,
that's what's up and that's the critical nature of our times.
So tying to us if we have that sense, that suspicion,
(13:25):
the slightest inkling of belief that we might have something
to do to make a difference in this world? How
do we do it? It can feel overwhelming? Right, how
do you eat the elephant right? One bite at a time?
So step by step. I love that image from one
of the Indiana Jones movies. I forget which one it was,
(13:46):
but he's standing on the side of a cliff. The
Holy Grail is on the other side. There's this endless
chasm between them, and it's not until he figures out
that he has to take a step into the void
that the bridge shows up to meet us foot. That's
how we do it, right. We got to start. We
have to initiate the first step, trusting that something's going
(14:09):
to happen. We don't have to know everything that we
got to know, we don't have to know how and when,
and but we got to take action, some kind of action.
So yeah, I mean start wherever, Like if you don't
have a website or having started a newsletter, start a
blog right, start posting on social media once a week,
(14:31):
to start anywhere, to get those wheels going. And when
we step, when we take that initial step, then the
universe can respond. Opportunities will open, doors and windows will
present themselves and the path will be shown.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I like that because you think of how if you're
a fan of sports, usually to get to the end
the game, you have to actually play the game. You
can just and watch the other team do all the work.
You gotta do the work if you when you see
yourself as a champion, or have or far you want
(15:08):
to go, then you have to not just see that,
you have to do the necessary things. That's going to
Like you said, when chance an opportunity presents itself to you,
most of the time it's parallel to our choices and
what we're doing. It's not ever going connect if you
just have a great, profound thought about what you could
(15:33):
possibly do. But when you actually take the responsibility that
if I just take one step, I love where I
had the previous guest. He mentioned that when you aim
to be one percent better today then yesterday, you're better
(15:54):
than most average people who never even think like that,
because when you actually do that more, it's gonna take commitment.
It's gonna take time, it's gonna take choices. You can
never buy time back, right, so you gotta make the choice.
(16:16):
You say I'm committed now, okay, that means okay, I'm
gonna do some exercises. I'm gonna eat something healthy today.
That's way better than someone who just thinks about doing it. Well,
I'm just gonna scroll and see what's available on the internet,
see of courses are available, and see what apps are available.
There's a lot of people that does the observing. Let
(16:38):
me just see what's good out there. There's a lot
of window shoppers out there. You take that commitment of
only that space. Yeah, I think what stops us, I'm
gonna throw itvite back to you. I think what stops
us is that we're shane of our lack and we
let that become a barrier to what we could be
(17:00):
as all we see is a window shopping opportunity. But
we think we don't deserve to be better and be greater,
So therefore we make another excuse of why we want
mean to be.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Yes, so you said some really good things using excuses,
and you use the word responsibility, which I know it
used to scare me. But here's the way to look
at that word. That kind of diffuses the heaviness around it.
Response ability, ability to respond, that's all it is, right,
(17:34):
Respond to life, respond to the natural gifts that we've
been given, Like in your case, your voice like, oh
my God, listening to you, like you take me to
put me in a trance, like in a higher level,
touch my soul, the depth and the resonance of your voice.
And you're using it right. There's so many things you
could have done with it. You're using it to touch livees,
(17:57):
to cut through the bs in life and bring positive,
empowering messages to your people who gravitate to you. That's
all it takes, responding to life's opportunities and that Yeah,
that requires being present and being self aware and doing
that self inventory. What am I gifts? What am I
(18:18):
good at? What do I love to do? What makes
time stop again? And what do we want to do
with this very short time that it is going to
go by so fast.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
If someone watching this and listening, they're like the wait
time out. Here's my question for the guests. How do
we lead or simply live without losing ourselves in the
process around the chaos that always seems to be around us.
You know, they say when you're busy, that's when it
breaks down. It's never when you're bored. When you have
(18:52):
a job and duty to do something that requires your
responsibility to show up. That's when you get tested.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Yeah, you know, I'm from the tropics and so we
know hurricanes. So the visual for me that's really powerful
is the eye of the storm. Right. We allow all
the drama of life, like both on the macro world
level global scene and the drama in our lives. Right,
the people that their their expectations, their demands of us,
(19:22):
the demands of our work, our co workers, our colleagues,
our spouses, our families, our kids, our parents, Right, that's
all around us. We remain centered, right, We remain centered
present with that ability to choose, like choosing how we're
going to respond to all the demands and circumstances of life.
That's the key difference. We retain choice about when and
(19:47):
how to respond. And in order to be able to
do that, we got to be present, right, So how
do we do that? Use your breath? Right, You got
to You gotta first of all, realize that we spend
the majority of our time stuck in our heads, like
imagining a future that may or may not come to be,
fearing about it, projecting into that, or rehashing, ruminating about
(20:11):
a path that is gone and will never come to
be all of it figment of our imagination. The only
thing we know is real is this moment right now,
right here, right now. So the more that we can
spend time in that, the better that things are going
to go for us. Even in the level of success,
our relationships are going to be better, because you know,
(20:34):
we get we get caught up in arguments or discussions
and they're talking and we're not even listening. We're like,
we're in our heads planning what we're going to say
in return, so we're not even listening to each other. Really,
So slow it down, use the breath. The breath is
what slows everything down. And we can talk about the
(20:55):
breath forever, have a TEDx talk on the power of
the breath. But when we're all stressed down and not present,
because we're again in the catastrophizing mode of fantasizing about
the future that may or may not come to be
expecting the worst, that the other should have drop pause,
(21:18):
stop it, take a breath, like the the way to
slow it down and get the body to relax is
all about the breath. We we there's swamis in India
that can tell their hearts to slow down and the
heart slows down. Right, most of us don't have that
kind of control over over our bodies. Anybody can slow
(21:42):
down the breath. Anybody can do that. When we slow
down the breath, the heart has no choice. The heart
has to slow down. As the heart slows down, their
nervous system begins to relax, the body begins to quiet down,
and then we can be present and we can make
choices from that place clarity, rather than the chaos that
(22:04):
we often too often live in.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Another vision for you in the list of viewers and listeners,
imagine you can juggle all right, even if you can't,
Just imagine you could. You think it's easier to joke
o running or standing. That's kind of how we are
in our lives. We get too deep, Like another prompt
(22:31):
for chat chat GPT, we get too deep in the
weeds and trying to figure out every single answer to
last questions, and sometimes all we got to do. Take
a chill, pill man. Take five minutes, five minutes just
to reflect, like I get to the point where the
(22:54):
show has grown before beyond my wildest dreams. Compared to
when starting twining sep Sea, when I started practicing five minutes,
I do nothing, I say nothing, I just chill five minutes.
That has allowed me to not just reset, but it's
(23:17):
allowed me to go forward clearer, because you can't go
forward if your mind is chaout it. Everything is taking
you off, everything is setting you off, Everything is pulling
you back, Everything is pulling your here and here and there.
You take purposely five managing me five seconds stop. How
(23:42):
can I move forward with clearity? Because if you're not
doing that, you always always on me feeling that you're
beating your head on the wall. It won't change until
you take care of that.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yeah, I saw you do that right before you talking
and they said, I'm gonna get you ready, I'm gonna
play the intro graphics and music, and as it was
starting to come in, I saw you go in and
close your eyes. That's that's what I do too. And
you're right. Five minutes, even five seconds, right, just that
moment of choice, slow down the conversation before you say
(24:18):
something or do something that you're gonna then react or regret.
You know how many times have we done that? Right
to react and regret cycle boring. The adrenaline gets us.
They say something that that got our goat, and we
immediately react and say something to get them back, But
then the adrenaline dissipates and then we go into oh
my god, I can't believe I said that. That was
(24:39):
so mean. I can't believe I said that to my
friend or to my lover or whatever. So why get
why stay stuck in that cycle of react and regret?
And all it takes is that moment of choice, a
breath so that we can drop in, feel the ouch
(24:59):
maybe if that's what what's happening is, and then choose, like,
all right, I feel that. How can I show up differently?
How can I get off this merry go around that
I've done a thousand times? They do this, I do that,
they do this, I do that boring, boring. Let me
try a different way of doing it differently? How can
(25:19):
I show up in a different way that's gonna pop
us out of this merry go round?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Like the visual that you painted earlier about the movie
mean you step out into quote unquote the unknown. That's
when it almost triggers the opportunity to present it stelf
to you, because you have presented yourself that you're ready
to actually move with action and not just we hear
(25:48):
amazing thoughts, because if we all can win with our
amazing thoughts, there will be no need for a podcast,
there be no need for groups, there be no need
for movies, there will be no need for music, because
that's what makes the human experience the most amazing experience.
We get to choose what we write in our pages.
(26:12):
No one else gets to choose what we write. We
get to choose what we write. And that's why if
you just take the moment and say, how can I
stop losing my power? Because you're talking about being drained,
(26:37):
we position ourselves to be drained. It's not always them.
It's us not having boundaries, yes, us not breaking cycles. Yes,
because when we start to break those cycles, but what's
causing us to be drained, we stop losing that power.
(26:59):
That power is the value. It's like a ripple effect.
If I get good, nice sleep, if I be healthy exercise,
when I get up the next day, I get to
present myself in the best possible way to this world.
So it's a ripple effect. When I go to work
(27:20):
my goal gas station, my goal here, and I interact
with my loved ones, my friends, they feel the energy
of the ripple effect of what I've been able to do,
and that's store all that hour that did not allow
to be drained. Now someone will say, what power you
talking about me? It's my faith in God. For you,
(27:44):
it might be something else. That's fine whatever it is.
But my point is, when you understand what is causing
the pain, it's up to you to fix it. Could
you get all the outside professionals, but they don't have
(28:06):
the pain when they're doing the sessions, when they're doing
with all the magic talk, here's your pancer man. Now
it's up to you to live the life that you
want to live.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Yeah, profound wisdom in your words, Shamaiah, and tough teachings too, right,
because in over thirty retreats, now that I've been learning
retreats and coaching with people, I think what we struggle
with the most is tearing up that victim card, right
and taking responsibility for our lives. And I don't mean
(28:43):
to minimize what happened to people. I know human beings
do stuffed to each other that should never ever happen.
And I'm really sorry about that. Right about whatever it
is that people went through like it should have never happened.
It wasn't okay, and what are you going to do
about it? How are you going to show up in
response to that? Right, that's what pops us out of
(29:05):
that victim mode. That because when we keep ourselves in
the victim mode, yeah, sure it works. We got sympathy,
we got stuff, things and people to do, people to
do things for us kind of thing. But at what price? Right,
when we're keeping ourselves in that poor me, woe is
me mentality, We've given away our power. We're keeping ourselves disempowered.
(29:31):
So that's the price we pay, and it's high price.
We're talking about our fulfillment that we're giving away, and
so in many ways we're giving our power, even to
the perpetrators, whatever they may have done. And so to me,
there's no way around it. If you want to be happy,
if you want to be fulfilled, if you want to
(29:52):
fulfill your purpose, your God given purpose, if you want
to go there, we've got to tear up that victim
card and we've got to look within and do the
work of healing whatever it was that happened. And there
are many modalities to do that, whether it's therapy, breath
work is one that did it for me. You know,
(30:12):
I come out of a psychotherapy background background. My father
was a psychiatrist. I studied psychology. I was on a
path to get a PhD. And when I discover breath work,
I jumped tracks because it have yet to come across
anything that heals past trauma, emotional and psychological trauma as
(30:32):
quickly and as effectively. And I know that it's hard
to believe now that just by breathing in a certain
way for about an hour, all that stuff can happen.
And yet I can't argue with the results it works.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I do it too, man. I produce shows of talk
show hosts who are doctors and they swear by breath
work as wonders iving. My personal doctor is like, wait
you doing? And I say, well, things I'm doing. I'm
walking a lot, playing hoop. You know what I'm saying
at the park with basketball and do my breath work.
(31:08):
And what I will add to that is it's not
just you taking the moment to do that. Is you
breaking the cycle. I'm gonna use that again. Is you
breaking the cycle of doing what you've always done? Yeah,
Because that's that's the secret handcuffs that we put on
(31:34):
every day when we have the keys to just not
wear them. It's repeating those viscious cycles. You make a decoration.
It is now in five minutes, our days, nine in
(31:57):
five years. It ends now whatever to watching listening, you
get that in your mind it ends whatever it is now. Yes,
And what happens is you take those deep reps. What
happens is you get up earlier. What happens is you
(32:18):
show up to this meeting. What happens is all these
other things start going because there are opportunities coming away.
It's amazing how when you stop a cycle and things
start coming away, because it does the Xach opposites when
we hold, when you put ourselves in those handcrups, when
(32:39):
we don't stop those cycles, it's a Zach opposite. All
opportunity it runs away. It doesn't just not show up.
It boys you.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Yeah, yeah, it's so powerful. And there's somebody who really
inspires me in that area is Victor frankl Austrian psychiatrists
who spent years in a concentration camp and they took everything.
You know, he lost all his property, his degrees, his education,
his family, his pregnant wife, everything was taken away from him.
(33:17):
And that guy was able to say in that setting
that most unimaginable inhuman of settings, that they could take
everything away from him except for one thing, and that
was his ability to choose how he would show up
in response. And if he can do it there, certainly
(33:41):
we can do it in our lives. And again, I'm
not minimizing anybody's pain or trauma or history or past.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
But we have to free ourselves from that, and we can.
If Victor Frankel can say that, we certainly can't.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Once again, the sound be focus ready watching this one
line talking to Yes Today by Christian day Love or
to go to his website Soul Fullpower dot com. That'st
all I want to leave with you is that when
we think about heroes, you can feel in the blank
whoever's watching and listening. But for me, when I think
(34:19):
about a hero, it's usually someone that you admire, you
want to strive to be because they're doing something that
makes you feel wow, that's not just amazing, but that's inspiring.
(34:44):
Heroes disclaimer, they all have a weak spot. The difference
is they don't let it break them. And what I
mean by that is they show up.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
That's a hero, beautifully said man, beautifully spoken like you
touch my soul and yeah, and we can all do
that right no matter what happened in the past, no
matter what happens going forward, we can always say yes
(35:29):
and show up as fully as authentically as we can.
And that's how we change the world.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
By track again, how do you focus radio? Make sure
you go to our guest website again is a Soulful
Power dot com. If someone's listening watching wrapping things up,
if they can keep tabs on any updates, events or
products that you have services in the future, was the
best way for them to re updates and stay in tune.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Probably my website is the best way to reach me
Soulfulpower dot com. And from there they can email me
or they can access my social media. And I want
to thank you as Shamayah for having me on the
show and when I have, I want to thank you
for having such a profound, soulful, insightful, deep oasis in
(36:24):
this chaotic world of ours, because I know many people
are being touched through your work and your willingness to
do it well.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Like I always want to say for everyone that I
have on the show, is always a true honor to
explore life through a different less because what's tragic is
that we want to claim that we know all the answers,
(36:53):
and clearly we didn't live your life story, and that's
why we have people like you want so once again,
thank you, thank you for your time being on the
show today. Thank you
Speaker 3 (37:08):
M
You are listening to I Am Refocused Radio with your
host Shamaiah Reid. This show is designed to inspire you
to live your purpose and regain your focus. And now
here's your host, Shamaiah Reid.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Well the time you focus? Ready once again, we are
here today, and today we have a true guest, so true,
and they're talking to Kristen Dala Warta and we're gonna
be talking all about power of love and in their
truth because he not only was an amazing tech X speaker,
but he also is a personal transformation coach. He has
been over thirty years helping people remember who they truly
(00:41):
are beneath all the noise. He's an internationally known respected
speaker and coach and how us also have attained awards,
so you know his street credit is good, but most importantly,
his story he's even better. So outside the stages and
the selling books like Awakening the Soul of Power, he's
(01:04):
going to share with us the background story. So first
and foremost one, welcome to the show today, Christian.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
How you doing that, hey, Sam? And what a beautiful introduction.
Appreciate being here with you. Thank you, I appreciate your time.
Because the proof is right in the story. So this
John Brian too, when you think about your beginning, I
remember reading bio that you went from a shy, self
doubting person to a global force. So how did you
(01:34):
find that motion of transforming from where you were to
where you are today? Yeah, you know, I was. I
was born in Cuba, so I lived in a communist
country for the first ten years of my life. And
I always had a sense of purpose, like I always
knew that I had kind of a mission, a work
(01:55):
to do, to make a difference in this world and
real human lives. And yet I was painfully shy, like
I was okay one on one, but if you added
a third human clammed up and speaking in public, forget it,
Like that was not going to happen. And yet it
was that sense of mission that got me through that
(02:17):
I was like I knew I had to get over
it and past high school, Like I got through high
school without speaking in public. But at that point I
took I signed up for a public speaking course. And
is that that concept of field of fear and do
it anyway? That's what it was. For fourteen weeks, I
had to get up and give three two minute speeches
(02:39):
and I hated it. Come Monday night, I was already
dreading Thursdays. And but you know, after doing it three
times a day, week after week, like stop being such
a big deal. And here I am.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
When you think about power, you say, power isn't about control,
is about presence. And it takes an art to do
that because as an amateur, anyone can have these big
dreams and big thoughts. But when the reverends throw in
reality hit shooting points out your weak spots, you might
(03:17):
have to give you so a little bit more time
and grace.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah. Yeah, And power is like such an important issue
to talk about, and I'm an unlikely person to be
speaking about it because I know powerlessness. I know depression.
My adolescence was one long depression. I know self doubt,
I know self hatred. And yet flash forward to today
(03:42):
and looking at my life, no matter the details, the circumstances,
where whether a relationship works out or it doesn't, whether
a project succeeds or it fails. In quotes, never ever,
ever do I question my sense of self. My self
worth is cakeable, and so I know if that can
(04:02):
happen in me, it can happen in anybody. And power
is you know, we've been so conditioned to think that
power is a bad thing, like power corrupts, and absolute
power corrupts absolutely, and what good person wants to be corrupted?
And then add to that the countless times that we
(04:23):
have all witnessed abuse as a power, like any given day,
not only in our personal lives, but on the global scale.
You've got to watch the news or read through the
headlines that it's apout at least one. And so when
you combine those two things is what happens is we
end up giving our power away? How many times? How
(04:45):
many times have we said yes when inside it was
a no. Inside it really wasn't okay with us, But
in order to maintain an illusion of peace in order
because we feel rejection and we don't want to feel
like if we really beat all who we are, that
we might end up alone, and so we stuff ourselves,
(05:05):
We play small, we hide our light under a bushel,
and it's not a good strategy because that only leads
to frustration. And so what I started to realize that
what that book is about awakening the Solo Power, is like,
how do we step into power in a different way?
How can I step and owe my hour and my
(05:26):
power in a way that doesn't require higher arcing or control,
that doesn't require that I put anybody down, step on them,
put my knee to their neck in order for me
to prop myself off and feel powerful. So it's all
about power with rather than power over.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
People can find themselves at times playing small, and playing
small can contribute to you giving them power away. What
have you learned in your moments when you think about
times you play small, what do you believe we lose
in those moments? And how can we prevent ourselves from
(06:09):
repeating that process? Because it's not something that thing that
we can easily to do with a snap of the finger.
But if we flag, then we can learn how to
not continue that pattern of gain our power away.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, and you're right, that is the highest price we
pay when we play smallst We lose ourselves. We're sacrificing
our authentic selves. And that's big because there isn't anybody
out there in this universe or any other universe for
that matter, who has the same genetics, the same set
(06:48):
of experiences, the same preferences, likes, desires, dreams that make
each one of us unique, that make each one of
us who we are. So if we don't give expression
to that, ain't nobody else going to do it? And
that is a huge loss to all of humanity, to
all of consciousness. So how do we get through it?
(07:10):
Like short short way to it is cut it out,
like stop, like I get it, I've done it. I
understand it completely, the playing it safe, the not wanting
to rock the boat too much. And I also know
that it's not a good strategy and that the like
(07:31):
that is the universal imperative is to be all of
who we are, and that is how we make the
best and biggest difference in the world. And yes, it's
going to take a pre process of discovery because a
lot of times we don't even know who we are.
So start them all right, going within. There's no way
around that. Nobody else can tell us that. Nobody else
(07:51):
can tell us who we are, So it requires a
deep process of going within and figure it. Start with
more superficial stuff, the way, the more surface level stuff.
What do you like do you like chuckolate of Vanilla?
Do you like actual movies or rom coms? Right, start
with the easy stuff. How do you like to spend
your free time? And then start asking yourself the deeper
(08:14):
and deeper question, what makes you come alive? What makes
time stop when you're doing X, Y or Z?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
All? Right?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Like, why are you here? Why are you really here?
How are you going to make the most out of
this very short time we have on this beautiful planet?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
We say all that, it makes me think about relationships
that we have in our lives, and you've written books
on that. When you think about being conscious of what
we are doing in the very moment, how does that
position us to have healthier relationships? Because if we don't
(08:53):
like what we've seen them nearer, how can we expect
ourselves to extent ourselves to other people?
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Exactly? Right, People, people we attracted are only going to match,
They're going to meet us at that same level, right,
Like we're like water seeking its own level. So we're
if we're approaching relationship thinking like there's something wrong with
us or you know, like we're not good enough, like
all those misunderstandings that we take we picked up along
the way in childhood, none of it true, none of
(09:21):
it real. But that's if that's how we're approaching life,
If that's how we're approaching relationships, that's what we're going
to get back from life. So that's the benefit of
doing this deeper work that we're talking about, is because
we free ourselves, we work through all these misunderstandings and
confusions and untruths about who we are, and little by
(09:43):
little we start peeling the layers and letting go of
the stuff that no longer works, the stuff that we
have outgrown and that we're ready to shed, like an
old snake skin that can no longer contain us and
hold us back. And pretty soon we start unleashing that
light that is inside every single one of us. And
that's our job. Nobody else can do that for us,
(10:05):
and that's where our happiness lies. That's where our fulfillment
will be found.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I'm a visual person, and we said that. I just
had a visual of an individual standing guard in front
of the door and if you look beyond that door,
where they're blocking is the light. So when you say
that we are in control and we are responsible of
(10:33):
letting that light shine, that's what it is. No one
else can downloup or down down. What we do is
up to us to open that door and that that
light go through is by our choices. Your choices is
your life. You know life, just look at the choices.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
They make, beautifully said, and I love that visual well,
I'm also a visual person. I was right with you.
Open that door, cracking it open and start small, right, like,
just crack it a little bit at first, maybe open
the little window in the door to see who is
what's on the other side. But do it. You gotta
do it because, like we're saying, nobody's going to be
(11:16):
able to do it for us. And that's where our power,
our purpose, all of it lies our happiness.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Once again, listening, we focused, reading, watching this online, talking
to our guests today Christian dayla Warta and you can
go to his websitesoulfulpower dot com. When you consider how
there is a difference between where we want to be
versus reality, and it's very tempting when you're trying to
(11:47):
better yourself and they progress to prematurely place yourself where
you want to be in the future. But it's almost
like driving a car with no wheels. You're not gonna
go anywhere anytime soon until you indest needs that are
meeting the moment in present time, kind of touch on them,
the audience, because in order for us to build systems
(12:10):
to actually work for us. We have to find out
what is holding us back.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah, I love that question. So I'm gonna pause on
that and finish what we would saying. I do want
more think that we were saying before, because I know
there might be somebody watching or listening who who will think, Well,
but how arrogant to think that we have light and
that I have work to do. We've been conditioned right
to believe to play small, you can't shine too much.
(12:40):
Have been taught to hide and not let ourselves be seen.
And to me it's the other way around. The arrogance
is playing small. Who the blankety blank do we think
we are hiding or light? At this time where it's
all hands on deck, we are all needed fully as
fully as possible to make a difference in this world.
(13:02):
The planet's going to be fine. It might take millions
of years, but life will continue, Consciousness will continue, unfolding
and evolving in some way, whether we make it as humans. Hmm, right,
that's what's up and that's the critical nature of our times.
So tying to us if we have that sense, that suspicion,
(13:25):
the slightest inkling of belief that we might have something
to do to make a difference in this world? How
do we do it? It can feel overwhelming? Right, how
do you eat the elephant right? One bite at a time?
So step by step. I love that image from one
of the Indiana Jones movies. I forget which one it was,
(13:46):
but he's standing on the side of a cliff. The
Holy Grail is on the other side. There's this endless
chasm between them, and it's not until he figures out
that he has to take a step into the void
that the bridge shows up to meet us foot. That's
how we do it, right. We got to start. We
have to initiate the first step, trusting that something's going
(14:09):
to happen. We don't have to know everything that we
got to know, we don't have to know how and when,
and but we got to take action, some kind of action.
So yeah, I mean start wherever, Like if you don't
have a website or having started a newsletter, start a
blog right, start posting on social media once a week,
(14:31):
to start anywhere, to get those wheels going. And when
we step, when we take that initial step, then the
universe can respond. Opportunities will open, doors and windows will
present themselves and the path will be shown.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I like that because you think of how if you're
a fan of sports, usually to get to the end
the game, you have to actually play the game. You
can just and watch the other team do all the work.
You gotta do the work if you when you see
yourself as a champion, or have or far you want
(15:08):
to go, then you have to not just see that,
you have to do the necessary things. That's going to
Like you said, when chance an opportunity presents itself to you,
most of the time it's parallel to our choices and
what we're doing. It's not ever going connect if you
just have a great, profound thought about what you could
(15:33):
possibly do. But when you actually take the responsibility that
if I just take one step, I love where I
had the previous guest. He mentioned that when you aim
to be one percent better today then yesterday, you're better
(15:54):
than most average people who never even think like that,
because when you actually do that more, it's gonna take commitment.
It's gonna take time, it's gonna take choices. You can
never buy time back, right, so you gotta make the choice.
(16:16):
You say I'm committed now, okay, that means okay, I'm
gonna do some exercises. I'm gonna eat something healthy today.
That's way better than someone who just thinks about doing it. Well,
I'm just gonna scroll and see what's available on the internet,
see of courses are available, and see what apps are available.
There's a lot of people that does the observing. Let
(16:38):
me just see what's good out there. There's a lot
of window shoppers out there. You take that commitment of
only that space. Yeah, I think what stops us, I'm
gonna throw itvite back to you. I think what stops
us is that we're shane of our lack and we
let that become a barrier to what we could be
(17:00):
as all we see is a window shopping opportunity. But
we think we don't deserve to be better and be greater,
So therefore we make another excuse of why we want
mean to be.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Yes, so you said some really good things using excuses,
and you use the word responsibility, which I know it
used to scare me. But here's the way to look
at that word. That kind of diffuses the heaviness around it.
Response ability, ability to respond, that's all it is, right,
(17:34):
Respond to life, respond to the natural gifts that we've
been given, Like in your case, your voice like, oh
my God, listening to you, like you take me to
put me in a trance, like in a higher level,
touch my soul, the depth and the resonance of your voice.
And you're using it right. There's so many things you
could have done with it. You're using it to touch livees,
(17:57):
to cut through the bs in life and bring positive,
empowering messages to your people who gravitate to you. That's
all it takes, responding to life's opportunities and that Yeah,
that requires being present and being self aware and doing
that self inventory. What am I gifts? What am I
(18:18):
good at? What do I love to do? What makes
time stop again? And what do we want to do
with this very short time that it is going to
go by so fast.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
If someone watching this and listening, they're like the wait
time out. Here's my question for the guests. How do
we lead or simply live without losing ourselves in the
process around the chaos that always seems to be around us.
You know, they say when you're busy, that's when it
breaks down. It's never when you're bored. When you have
(18:52):
a job and duty to do something that requires your
responsibility to show up. That's when you get tested.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Yeah, you know, I'm from the tropics and so we
know hurricanes. So the visual for me that's really powerful
is the eye of the storm. Right. We allow all
the drama of life, like both on the macro world
level global scene and the drama in our lives. Right,
the people that their their expectations, their demands of us,
(19:22):
the demands of our work, our co workers, our colleagues,
our spouses, our families, our kids, our parents, Right, that's
all around us. We remain centered, right, We remain centered
present with that ability to choose, like choosing how we're
going to respond to all the demands and circumstances of life.
That's the key difference. We retain choice about when and
(19:47):
how to respond. And in order to be able to
do that, we got to be present, right, So how
do we do that? Use your breath? Right, You got
to You gotta first of all, realize that we spend
the majority of our time stuck in our heads, like
imagining a future that may or may not come to be,
fearing about it, projecting into that, or rehashing, ruminating about
(20:11):
a path that is gone and will never come to
be all of it figment of our imagination. The only
thing we know is real is this moment right now,
right here, right now. So the more that we can
spend time in that, the better that things are going
to go for us. Even in the level of success,
our relationships are going to be better, because you know,
(20:34):
we get we get caught up in arguments or discussions
and they're talking and we're not even listening. We're like,
we're in our heads planning what we're going to say
in return, so we're not even listening to each other. Really,
So slow it down, use the breath. The breath is
what slows everything down. And we can talk about the
(20:55):
breath forever, have a TEDx talk on the power of
the breath. But when we're all stressed down and not present,
because we're again in the catastrophizing mode of fantasizing about
the future that may or may not come to be
expecting the worst, that the other should have drop pause,
(21:18):
stop it, take a breath, like the the way to
slow it down and get the body to relax is
all about the breath. We we there's swamis in India
that can tell their hearts to slow down and the
heart slows down. Right, most of us don't have that
kind of control over over our bodies. Anybody can slow
(21:42):
down the breath. Anybody can do that. When we slow
down the breath, the heart has no choice. The heart
has to slow down. As the heart slows down, their
nervous system begins to relax, the body begins to quiet down,
and then we can be present and we can make
choices from that place clarity, rather than the chaos that
(22:04):
we often too often live in.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Another vision for you in the list of viewers and listeners,
imagine you can juggle all right, even if you can't,
Just imagine you could. You think it's easier to joke
o running or standing. That's kind of how we are
in our lives. We get too deep, Like another prompt
(22:31):
for chat chat GPT, we get too deep in the
weeds and trying to figure out every single answer to
last questions, and sometimes all we got to do. Take
a chill, pill man. Take five minutes, five minutes just
to reflect, like I get to the point where the
(22:54):
show has grown before beyond my wildest dreams. Compared to
when starting twining sep Sea, when I started practicing five minutes,
I do nothing, I say nothing, I just chill five minutes.
That has allowed me to not just reset, but it's
(23:17):
allowed me to go forward clearer, because you can't go
forward if your mind is chaout it. Everything is taking
you off, everything is setting you off, Everything is pulling
you back, Everything is pulling your here and here and there.
You take purposely five managing me five seconds stop. How
(23:42):
can I move forward with clearity? Because if you're not
doing that, you always always on me feeling that you're
beating your head on the wall. It won't change until
you take care of that.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yeah, I saw you do that right before you talking
and they said, I'm gonna get you ready, I'm gonna
play the intro graphics and music, and as it was
starting to come in, I saw you go in and
close your eyes. That's that's what I do too. And
you're right. Five minutes, even five seconds, right, just that
moment of choice, slow down the conversation before you say
(24:18):
something or do something that you're gonna then react or regret.
You know how many times have we done that? Right
to react and regret cycle boring. The adrenaline gets us.
They say something that that got our goat, and we
immediately react and say something to get them back, But
then the adrenaline dissipates and then we go into oh
my god, I can't believe I said that. That was
(24:39):
so mean. I can't believe I said that to my
friend or to my lover or whatever. So why get
why stay stuck in that cycle of react and regret?
And all it takes is that moment of choice, a
breath so that we can drop in, feel the ouch
(24:59):
maybe if that's what what's happening is, and then choose, like,
all right, I feel that. How can I show up differently?
How can I get off this merry go around that
I've done a thousand times? They do this, I do that,
they do this, I do that boring, boring. Let me
try a different way of doing it differently? How can
(25:19):
I show up in a different way that's gonna pop
us out of this merry go round?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Like the visual that you painted earlier about the movie
mean you step out into quote unquote the unknown. That's
when it almost triggers the opportunity to present it stelf
to you, because you have presented yourself that you're ready
to actually move with action and not just we hear
(25:48):
amazing thoughts, because if we all can win with our
amazing thoughts, there will be no need for a podcast,
there be no need for groups, there be no need
for movies, there will be no need for music, because
that's what makes the human experience the most amazing experience.
We get to choose what we write in our pages.
(26:12):
No one else gets to choose what we write. We
get to choose what we write. And that's why if
you just take the moment and say, how can I
stop losing my power? Because you're talking about being drained,
(26:37):
we position ourselves to be drained. It's not always them.
It's us not having boundaries, yes, us not breaking cycles. Yes,
because when we start to break those cycles, but what's
causing us to be drained, we stop losing that power.
(26:59):
That power is the value. It's like a ripple effect.
If I get good, nice sleep, if I be healthy exercise,
when I get up the next day, I get to
present myself in the best possible way to this world.
So it's a ripple effect. When I go to work
(27:20):
my goal gas station, my goal here, and I interact
with my loved ones, my friends, they feel the energy
of the ripple effect of what I've been able to do,
and that's store all that hour that did not allow
to be drained. Now someone will say, what power you
talking about me? It's my faith in God. For you,
(27:44):
it might be something else. That's fine whatever it is.
But my point is, when you understand what is causing
the pain, it's up to you to fix it. Could
you get all the outside professionals, but they don't have
(28:06):
the pain when they're doing the sessions, when they're doing
with all the magic talk, here's your pancer man. Now
it's up to you to live the life that you
want to live.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Yeah, profound wisdom in your words, Shamaiah, and tough teachings too, right,
because in over thirty retreats, now that I've been learning
retreats and coaching with people, I think what we struggle
with the most is tearing up that victim card, right
and taking responsibility for our lives. And I don't mean
(28:43):
to minimize what happened to people. I know human beings
do stuffed to each other that should never ever happen.
And I'm really sorry about that. Right about whatever it
is that people went through like it should have never happened.
It wasn't okay, and what are you going to do
about it? How are you going to show up in
response to that? Right, that's what pops us out of
(29:05):
that victim mode. That because when we keep ourselves in
the victim mode, yeah, sure it works. We got sympathy,
we got stuff, things and people to do, people to
do things for us kind of thing. But at what price? Right,
when we're keeping ourselves in that poor me, woe is
me mentality, We've given away our power. We're keeping ourselves disempowered.
(29:31):
So that's the price we pay, and it's high price.
We're talking about our fulfillment that we're giving away, and
so in many ways we're giving our power, even to
the perpetrators, whatever they may have done. And so to me,
there's no way around it. If you want to be happy,
if you want to be fulfilled, if you want to
(29:52):
fulfill your purpose, your God given purpose, if you want
to go there, we've got to tear up that victim
card and we've got to look within and do the
work of healing whatever it was that happened. And there
are many modalities to do that, whether it's therapy, breath
work is one that did it for me. You know,
(30:12):
I come out of a psychotherapy background background. My father
was a psychiatrist. I studied psychology. I was on a
path to get a PhD. And when I discover breath work,
I jumped tracks because it have yet to come across
anything that heals past trauma, emotional and psychological trauma as
(30:32):
quickly and as effectively. And I know that it's hard
to believe now that just by breathing in a certain
way for about an hour, all that stuff can happen.
And yet I can't argue with the results it works.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I do it too, man. I produce shows of talk
show hosts who are doctors and they swear by breath
work as wonders iving. My personal doctor is like, wait
you doing? And I say, well, things I'm doing. I'm
walking a lot, playing hoop. You know what I'm saying
at the park with basketball and do my breath work.
(31:08):
And what I will add to that is it's not
just you taking the moment to do that. Is you
breaking the cycle. I'm gonna use that again. Is you
breaking the cycle of doing what you've always done? Yeah,
Because that's that's the secret handcuffs that we put on
(31:34):
every day when we have the keys to just not
wear them. It's repeating those viscious cycles. You make a decoration.
It is now in five minutes, our days, nine in
(31:57):
five years. It ends now whatever to watching listening, you
get that in your mind it ends whatever it is now. Yes,
And what happens is you take those deep reps. What
happens is you get up earlier. What happens is you
(32:18):
show up to this meeting. What happens is all these
other things start going because there are opportunities coming away.
It's amazing how when you stop a cycle and things
start coming away, because it does the Xach opposites when
we hold, when you put ourselves in those handcrups, when
(32:39):
we don't stop those cycles, it's a Zach opposite. All
opportunity it runs away. It doesn't just not show up.
It boys you.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Yeah, yeah, it's so powerful. And there's somebody who really
inspires me in that area is Victor frankl Austrian psychiatrists
who spent years in a concentration camp and they took everything.
You know, he lost all his property, his degrees, his education,
his family, his pregnant wife, everything was taken away from him.
(33:17):
And that guy was able to say in that setting
that most unimaginable inhuman of settings, that they could take
everything away from him except for one thing, and that
was his ability to choose how he would show up
in response. And if he can do it there, certainly
(33:41):
we can do it in our lives. And again, I'm
not minimizing anybody's pain or trauma or history or past.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
But we have to free ourselves from that, and we can.
If Victor Frankel can say that, we certainly can't.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Once again, the sound be focus ready watching this one
line talking to Yes Today by Christian day Love or
to go to his website Soul Fullpower dot com. That'st
all I want to leave with you is that when
we think about heroes, you can feel in the blank
whoever's watching and listening. But for me, when I think
(34:19):
about a hero, it's usually someone that you admire, you
want to strive to be because they're doing something that
makes you feel wow, that's not just amazing, but that's inspiring.
(34:44):
Heroes disclaimer, they all have a weak spot. The difference
is they don't let it break them. And what I
mean by that is they show up.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
That's a hero, beautifully said man, beautifully spoken like you
touch my soul and yeah, and we can all do
that right no matter what happened in the past, no
matter what happens going forward, we can always say yes
(35:29):
and show up as fully as authentically as we can.
And that's how we change the world.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
By track again, how do you focus radio? Make sure
you go to our guest website again is a Soulful
Power dot com. If someone's listening watching wrapping things up,
if they can keep tabs on any updates, events or
products that you have services in the future, was the
best way for them to re updates and stay in tune.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Probably my website is the best way to reach me
Soulfulpower dot com. And from there they can email me
or they can access my social media. And I want
to thank you as Shamayah for having me on the
show and when I have, I want to thank you
for having such a profound, soulful, insightful, deep oasis in
(36:24):
this chaotic world of ours, because I know many people
are being touched through your work and your willingness to
do it well.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Like I always want to say for everyone that I
have on the show, is always a true honor to
explore life through a different less because what's tragic is
that we want to claim that we know all the answers,
(36:53):
and clearly we didn't live your life story, and that's
why we have people like you want so once again,
thank you, thank you for your time being on the
show today. Thank you
Speaker 3 (37:08):
