Awakening Through Fiction: Exploring "The Primordial Code" with Brian Costello
In today's podcast episode, I sat down with Brian Costello, the author of the captivating new novel, The Primordial Code. This book is a profound journey that challenges us to reimagine what life could look like if we truly lived in harmony with ourselves, each other, and the planet.
I have to admit, when Brian first sent me his book, I hesitated. I'm usually a non-fiction guy, and fiction rarely grabs my attention. But from the moment I read the first chapter, I was hooked. It felt like a memory, like Brian was channeling something deeply important that resonated at a soul level. Each night I found myself eager to dive deeper into this alternate reality called Okablaya, a hidden land rooted in true freedom and deep, authentic connection.
Brian shared how the inspiration for the book came from his own transformative journey. After years immersed in the hyper-competitive, intense world of CrossFit gyms—which both Brian and I experienced firsthand the wheels came off. Burnout forced him to swing back into balance, diving inward through fasting, sun gazing, and profound introspection. It was from this open, receptive state that The Primordial Code was born.
What's fascinating about this story is its structure. Told from two perspectives: Garrett and Sandra, the chapters alternate, allowing readers to experience two distinct, interwoven journeys of self-discovery and transformation. Brian initially hesitated to write from a female perspective but ultimately found it enriched the story and allowed for deeper exploration of feminine wisdom and strength.
One central theme of our conversation was the importance of reconnecting with our roots, particularly regarding the food we consume. Brian emphasizes the powerful concept of geographical eating: consuming local, seasonal food that communicates the truth of our immediate environment to our bodies, nourishing us deeply and grounding us energetically. We discussed how modern society's food systems disconnect us from nature and the impact this has on our physical and emotional health.
A significant highlight of the discussion revolved around education and culture design. Brian’s depiction of Okablaya’s education system emphasizes helping children discover who they truly are rather than memorizing abstract facts that have little relevance to their lived experiences. It resonated deeply with me, as I often contemplate how to navigate the balance between structured education and authentic learning when raising a family.
We also touched on more profound existential questions, like the ethics of eating animals and whether humanity can transcend its predatory nature. Brian admits these are questions he continues to wrestle with, recognizing the complexity and nuance involved.
Ultimately, our conversation circled back to the heart of Brian's intention behind The Primordial Code: remembering who we truly are. The novel is an invitation to reawaken the truths that lie within us, truths often overshadowed by external noise and societal expectations.
If you're curious and want to experience the magic firsthand, you can listen to the first two chapters of The Primordial Code for free on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. I highly encourage you to read the book and share your insights by leaving a review on Amazon, it’s a powerful way to support Brian’s vision and contribute to a shift in collective consciousness.
Much love,

Handling Setbacks: Turning Challenges into Opportunities
We've all experienced moments in life where a setback knocks us off our feet. Whether it's losing a job, a difficult breakup, or financial challenges, these moments can leave us feeling defeated and stuck. But setbacks, although painful, provide powerful opportunities to expand, grow, and rebuild stronger than before.
In this transformative session, we dive into how to handle setbacks effectively through mindset shifts, physical practices, and intentional reflection. Here's a guide to turning your setbacks into launch pads for growth.
Recognizing the Setback
When setbacks occur, we often try to suppress or ignore the negative feelings they bring. Instead, acknowledge these feelings openly. Bring awareness to the pain or frustration you feel; whether it's job loss, financial strain, relationship issues, or questioning your own worth. Identifying the setback clearly is the first step in overcoming it.
Psychological and Physical Release
Setbacks store emotional energy in our bodies, and it's crucial to release this tension. One simple yet effective method is the "Shake and Exhale" exercise:
Stand firmly: Feet hip-width apart, rooted securely into the ground.
Start shaking: Gently bounce by bending your knees, relaxing your arms, and keeping your torso stable.
Emphasize the exhale: Breathe audibly, releasing tension with each breath. Focus on deep exhales as you shake.
Finish calmly: Slow your shaking, come to stillness, and breathe rhythmically (4-second inhale, 4-second hold, 6-second exhale).
This practice resets your nervous system and prepares your mind and body to handle life's pressures gracefully.
Universal Challenges
Life inevitably includes universal challenges:
People leaving.
Things breaking (health, finances, relationships).
Questioning your capability ("Do I have what it takes?").
These are not just setbacks; they are foundational elements of personal growth. Realize that each challenge increases your capacity and resilience, preparing you for greater levels of success and fulfillment.
Mindset Shifts for Growth
When faced with a setback, practice shifting your mindset:
Pause before responding: Instead of reacting emotionally, pause to formulate a thoughtful response based on intention and vision.
Permission to be imperfect: Allow yourself to show up authentically and imperfectly. Perfectionism often leads to isolation and paralysis. Embrace honest and authentic action.
Embrace authenticity: Your authentic self creates a powerful field of energy, attracting alignment and clarity.
Courageous Reflection Exercise
Reflect deeply on your current challenge:
What is the challenge? Clearly define it.
What is it teaching me? Understand the lesson.
Is this a recurring pattern? Identify the common denominators.
What would the greatest expression of myself do? Define your ideal response.
Identify 1–2 courageous acts you can take today to address this challenge.
Embody Courage with Breath
Hold one hand on your heart and the other on your belly. Visualize the courageous act:
Inhale courage and power.
Exhale fear and judgment.
Feel yourself completing the courageous act.
Acceptance and Surrender
Accepting circumstances as they are allows us to align with the universe instead of fighting it. Resistance creates persistence; acceptance opens doors to solutions and peace. Practice surrendering to a higher power or greater plan, embracing sound therapy such as gong baths or meditative breathing for deeper integration and release.
You Are the Hero of Your Story
Setbacks mark the beginning of powerful stories. Recognize yourself as the hero. Each challenge is a chapter, an opportunity to demonstrate courage and resilience. Your current circumstance isn't an enemy, it's your training ground. Use your experiences to propel yourself into the next chapter, stronger and wiser.
Next Steps
Now, with courage and clarity, take action. Remember, you're doing better than you think. Embrace your journey, honor your growth, and trust in your ability to rise.

Breath of Fire Progressive Sequence
Breath of Fire Retentions
This is a short section from a longer Self Expansion Practice called “Practice to Align to the Heart.” In the full set, we start with journaling to uncover what your heart is actually asking for—and then we do this breathwork sequence to bring the body on board.
It’s simple but powerful.
Three rounds of Breath of Fire, each one getting longer.
Round 1: 1 min Breath of Fire → 1 min hold → 1 min regular breath
Round 2: 90 sec Breath of Fire → 90 sec hold → 90 sec regular breath
Round 3: 2 min Breath of Fire → 2 min hold → 2 min regular breath
All done while holding Rudra Mudra, which activates the solar plexus and gives a little more strength to your intention.
What it does:
Breath of Fire clears stagnant energy, wakes up the nervous system, and builds focus.
Physiologically, it activates the diaphragm, massages internal organs, and increases oxygen delivery to the brain.
Mentally, it can reset your state pretty fast—especially if you’re feeling dull, stuck, or indecisive.
You might feel heat.
You might feel clarity.
You might feel resistance.
All good signs something is moving.
If you’re pregnant or in the first few days of your cycle, skip the breath of fire.
If you want the full Self Expansion Practice it came from (with the journaling, movement, and integration), you can find it inside SelfExpansion.app under Practice to Align to the Heart.
Living From the Heart in a World Built by the Mind
We’re at a crossroads — not just individually, but collectively. The mind and the heart are saying different things. And for many of us, it’s not just confusing, it’s exhausting.
Most people don’t realize that your body literally has three brains: your head, your heart, and your gut. This isn’t metaphor. The HeartMath Institute has found over 40,000 neurons in the heart. The gut has over 100 million. Your head brain has 86-100 billion, depending on who you ask. These aren’t just organs. They’re perception centers. They know.
When you feel that tug-of-war inside, between what your mind is saying and what your heart is craving, that’s not just emotion. That’s biology. That’s wisdom. That’s your system asking you to align.
What You Think vs. What You Know
Your mind is designed for this 3D world. It plays by the rules of linear time, logic, and survival. It’s shaped by your upbringing, your teachers, your culture, and what everyone else is doing.
Your heart isn’t bound by any of that. The heart is your compass beyond time. It speaks the language of your soul, often wordlessly. And when you align your thoughts to your heart’s gnosis, you become a powerful field. A field that shifts reality around it.
One of Energy.
Manifestation is Magnetics.
Everything in reality, including you, is a field. You feel solid, but you’re not. You’re vibration. And when your internal field is aligned and strong, you don’t force things into place. You tune them into existence.
Alignment creates resonance. And the stronger field always wins.
This is why some people seem to manifest effortlessly. They’re not “trying harder.” They’re in coherence. Their thoughts, actions, and values are tuned to their heart. Most people are still outsourcing their choices to the “shoulds” in their head.
The Matrix Isn’t Out There. It’s In You
We all got programmed. The school system, the media, your family, your religion they all taught you what’s normal, what’s safe, and what’s “real.” And now most people are running their lives on code they never chose.
Like I said in the video, the movie The Matrix isn’t just about society. It’s about you. Your personal matrix. Your habits. Your beliefs. Your internal dialogue. Most of it was installed before you were old enough to be aware.
Waking up is a remembrance.
How to Actually Listen to Your Heart
It’s not always simple. Your heart doesn’t scream. It whispers.
But here are four ways to start tuning back in:
Where do you feel satisfied?
What activities make you forget time exists? Follow that. Satisfaction is a signal.If fear, money, and judgment weren’t factors, what would you do?
This one’s big. Most people never allow themselves to imagine this fully.What breaks your heart?
What injustice, what absence, what loss stirs something deep inside you? That pain points toward your purpose.What’s missing?
Where do you feel emptiness? Don’t run from it. Look directly at it. Ask yourself: What goes here?
Let these questions guide you — not your phone, not your boss, not what’s trending.
Write down what comes up. But don’t tell everyone. When you share your dream too early, your mind starts to feel like you’ve already done it. That releases the tension. And you need that tension. That’s your pull into a new reality. That’s intention.
Stop Trying to Quit. Start Replacing.
If you're stuck in a loop, addiction, procrastination, being “meh” about life, don’t just stop what you're doing. Find something better. Something more aligned. Something that wakes you up with excitement.
The void will always be filled. The question is, by what?
And if you don’t know yet, that’s okay. That’s part of the experiment. That’s part of why I do what I do to share tools that help you decode your own system, reprogram the noise, and align to what your life is asking of you next.
You Are the Creator
Your thoughts matter. Your field is real. Your heart is waiting.
Don’t let your life be ruled by old programs. Don’t let your dreams get lost in the algorithm. Start living from your own inner technology.

How to Expand Your Business by Expanding Yourself
I gave this training for the entire Purium Field of Brand Partners. It is focused on speaking to them on how to be more confident in their businesses, and will also be relevant to you in your life matters.
Confidence isn’t just a feeling. It’s a function. It’s the space where action and clarity meet. And in business, especially the business of leading others, it’s the ceiling that defines your growth.
In this training, I guide you through the mechanics of confidence: where it comes from, how to cultivate it, and most importantly, how to use it to move forward even when you're not sure you have it yet.
The Big Idea
Confidence is not the starting point. It’s the result of repetition, of proof, of keeping promises to yourself. Most people wait to feel confident before they take action. But confidence is built through action. And it loops:
Belief → Action → Results → Evidence → Confidence → Expansion
What You'll Learn:
Why action must come before confidence, and how to take that action even when it feels uncomfortable
How to identify the exact business activity you’ve been avoiding (and why that one task might change everything)
A guided exercise to visualize your most confident self and create a 30-day plan to meet them
How to turn fear into a tool for growth using the "Chicken List"
A journaling process to reveal and remove the limits you’ve placed on your own confidence
The Breakthrough
The insight was simple and clear: Confidence is built through integrity with self.
That means doing the things you said you’d do. Taking aligned action. Choosing not to wait until you’re perfect.
So, if you’re ready to build confidence not just in your business, but in your identity as a leader...
This is a training I did for the entire Purium marketing field of Brand Partners.
This is what we get to learn in this business: we help people to create a vision for themselves and then support them in manifesting it into their lives.
It is time for us all to make sure we are aligned to missions that add to our sense of purpose here. If being part of this kind of leadership development speaks to you—where you learn to mentor others and expand who you are in the process—reach out to me:
Identity Shift: Becoming the Person Your Vision Requires
What if your results in life aren't about how much you know, but about who you're becoming?
This video is a live training I led for the entire Purium Brand Partner field. It's a deep dive into the connection between identity and success in network marketing, and how your personal growth determines how far you go.
We often talk about our "why" when we join this business: financial freedom, better health, supporting our families. But today's training took it deeper. We explored:
How to remember your original why—the exact moment you said yes to this path
Why the story of your transformation is the most powerful tool you have
How beliefs silently shape your actions, habits, and results
Here’s the kicker: Most of us hold ourselves back because of hidden beliefs. We wait until we feel ready. We think success will make us confident. But it’s the other way around. Confidence comes when we align our identity to the version of ourselves we aspire to be.
Inside the training, I guided everyone through:
Reflection exercises to reveal limiting beliefs
Mirror work to create new self-image programming
Prompts to help share your story authentically on social media
Visualization practices to step into your next rank
We also covered how cringey content and imposter syndrome are often just symptoms of identity friction. That tension you feel? It’s the gap between your current self and your next-level self.
When you cross that gap, success stops feeling like something you chase—and starts becoming something you naturally align with.
And of course, I walked everyone through exactly how to write Instagram captions that empower others while telling your story. This isn't just about marketing. It's about leadership.
Because this is what we get to learn in this business.
We help people create a vision for themselves—then support them to manifest it.
If you're someone who wants to lead others, mentor from experience, and grow a business that feels aligned to your purpose, this training will activate something deep inside you.
Watch the full video below.
It is time for us all to make sure we are aligned to missions that add to our sense of purpose here.
If being part of this sort of leadership development where you learn to mentor others resonates with you, reach out to me:
Reality as a Mirror
When you look out at the world, what do you see?
Is it chaotic? Fearful? Heavy? Or is it peaceful, beautiful, inspiring?
Here’s the secret: You’re not seeing reality as it is. You’re seeing reality as you are.
This is the essence of the mirror: your internal landscape projects itself onto everything around you. It’s not happening to you. It’s not even just happening for you. It’s happening through you.
In this new video, I unpack:
What “reality as a mirror” truly means
Why shadow work is essential (and what it actually looks like)
The wild etymology of words like depression and expression
How science proves that belief alone changes our biology
The real reason most people stay stuck in repeating loops
We go into neuroscience, childhood programming, past lives, energy fields, the placebo effect, and the raw power of Samurai breath to shift states instantly.
Whether you’re feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or just ready for a new level of clarity — this is for you.
Watch the full video below, then ask yourself: What’s one small action I can take today to express my true self?

Hair is Technology: The Energetic & Spiritual Role of Hair in Human Consciousnessr
Hair is not just hair. Like every part of the body, it is not a meaningless accessory. It is a living technology—one that connects us to energy, light, memory, and spirit.
In modern society, we’ve been taught that hair is purely aesthetic. That it grows, we style it, we cut it when it splits, and it’s all just about how we look. But what if we’ve been looking at it completely wrong?
In ancient cultures across the world—from the Vedas to the Bible, from Sikhism to Native American tradition—hair was considered sacred. In these stories, hair was connected to power, intuition, and spiritual connection. In the story of Samson, it was the source of his strength. In Native traditions, cutting one’s hair often represented a profound spiritual or emotional event. Soldiers who cut their hair often lost their intuitive tracking abilities. Why?
Hair Is an Extension of the Nervous System
Let’s go back to biology class. Your brain, skin, and hair all come from the same germ layer in embryological development: the ectoderm. That means your hair is literally made of the same stuff as your brain and your nerves. It is a sensory organ. Not just for touch—but potentially for light, electricity, and information.
Our hair is also dense in melanin and copper—two highly conductive substances that are being studied in bioenergetics and photonic technology. Melanin, in particular, collects and transmits light. That’s why darker colors absorb more light. The darkness in our hair, skin, and eyes is not accidental—it’s part of our energetic system.
Hair, Light, and Photons
Photons—the particles of light—don’t have mass. This makes them unique. They can exist outside the normal constraints of space and time. Which means that when our bodies interact with light, we are interacting with something that is not fully of this world. Our hair, in many ways, may be the interface between the physical and non-physical worlds.
This is not just theory. In meditative states, in altered states of consciousness, and even in dream states, people report experiencing visuals and energetic awarenesses that come with the activation of the pineal gland—our inner light receptor. The hair, growing directly from our crown, seems to aid in this receptivity. It may be why many ancient practices involve the coiling of hair over the crown or third eye.
Hair as Memory and Energy Record
Hair is also a record keeper. Just like the rings of a tree or the layers of Antarctic ice, our hair stores the energetic and biochemical history of our life. It’s why drug tests use hair samples. Each strand is like a timeline of your experiences—physical and possibly emotional.
So when we cut it, we’re not just cutting keratin. We may be severing a connection with our past, releasing old energy, or resetting our interface with the energetic world.
Hair and Sexual Energy
In Taoist, Tantric, and Egyptian traditions, sexual energy was considered sacred life force (prana, chi, orgone). Hair plays a direct role in these energy exchanges. The pubic region, full of hair, becomes another site of energy transmission and receptivity. Hair connects, directs, and anchors energy—particularly in moments of deep union or orgasmic expression.
So What Do We Do With This Wisdom?
We recognize that hair is not trivial. It’s part of your antenna system. Your nervous system. Your spiritual technology. It is collecting light, receiving signals, storing memory, and participating in your spiritual evolution.
Some people will cut their hair as a sacred act. Some will grow it long to increase their connection. There’s no single right way. But there is a right way to respect it.

Embodying Awe
Awe is one of the most powerful emotional states we can experience—it stretches our perception, deepens our presence, and reminds us of the vastness of existence. This kriya is designed to expand that sense of awe within you, using intentional movement, breath, and awareness to unlock a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.
The Nature of Awe
The word “awe” carries immense depth—it originates from something so vast and powerful that it goes beyond comfort, even having roots in fear. True awe shakes us, humbles us, and opens us up to something greater than our individual experience. It’s the kind of sensation that can stop time, bring clarity, and connect us with the fabric of reality itself.
Awe is also the foundation for many powerful states of being:
Awe + Respect = Reverence (a profound honoring of something greater than yourself)
Awe + Wonder = Curiosity (childlike fascination and openness to learning)
Awe + Creativity = Imagination (boundless thinking that shapes new realities)
Awe + Acceptance = Humility (operating with grace within the vastness of existence)
Yet, in the fast pace of modern life, awe can slip by unnoticed. We can go days, weeks, or even months without truly pausing to feel its presence. That’s why this kriya exists—to train our awareness, open the body’s energetic field, and cultivate a state of awe as a natural way of being.
Awakening Awe Through Breath and Movement
We begin by bringing our awareness to the last moment we felt awe. Was it gazing at the stars? Witnessing a moment of human connection? Feeling the power of nature? Whatever it was, we take a moment to immerse ourselves back into that state, allowing it to infuse our consciousness.
From there, we engage the body, starting with breathwork. Deep inhales lift the shoulders, and long exhales press them down, expanding our range of motion and activating the heart center. The arms—the extensions of the heart—become tools for expanding our biofield, reaching into the space around us, and feeling the subtle energy that exists beyond our physical form.
As we hold these postures, discomfort may arise. The practice is not about pushing through pain but rather maintaining a meditative state within the experience. It’s about staying present, embodying grace, and allowing the movements to cultivate stability, balance, and awe from within.
Integrating Awe Into Your Life
One way to continue cultivating awe is through an Awe Journal—a simple practice of recording moments when awe arises in your day-to-day life. By revisiting these moments and writing them down, you solidify them within your awareness, training yourself to notice and appreciate awe more frequently. Over time, this leads to a natural state of being—one where awe isn’t just a fleeting moment but a habitual way of perceiving life.
This kriya is a powerful tool for expansion, aligning the mind, body, and energy field to exist in an elevated state of awareness. If you’re ready to embody more awe in your daily life, join me inside the Self Expansion App and experience the full kriya.
Start your 7-day free trial today and step into a practice that deepens presence, expands your field, and aligns you with your highest state of being. ✨
Acceptance: The Path to Flow and Harmony
What Does It Mean to Truly Accept?
The etymology of the word "acceptance" comes from Latin, meaning “to take or receive willingly.” It’s an action—receiving what is offered, without resistance. On the other hand, resistance (derived from military terms) is about opposing forcefully.
When we resist, whether it’s a difficult event, a painful emotion, or a negative thought, we’re essentially going to war with ourselves. But resisting doesn’t make the problem disappear—it prolongs it.
Acceptance vs. Resistance: A Practical Example
Imagine losing your job. It’s natural for emotions like fear, anger, and self-doubt to arise. You may think, “How will I pay rent?” or “Am I even valuable?” These thoughts and feelings are part of your experience, but how you interact with them matters.
To accept doesn’t mean ignoring your emotions or pretending everything is fine. It means allowing yourself to fully feel and process what’s happening. Acceptance is being present with those feelings, recognizing their purpose, and letting them move through you. Resistance, on the other hand, tries to bury, suppress, or deny them, which only makes them persist.
The Equation of Suffering
Here’s a simple but powerful equation:
Pain × Resistance = Suffering
Pain is inevitable—it’s a part of life. But suffering? That’s a byproduct of resistance. When we resist pain, we magnify it. If we can reduce resistance to zero, then suffering, too, becomes zero.
This doesn’t mean life is free of hardship. Instead, it’s an invitation to be fully present with life’s ups and downs, to experience emotions without judgment or suppression.
Practical Tools for Acceptance
1. The White Elephant Exercise
Try not to think of a big white elephant for 20 seconds. What happens? The more you resist thinking about it, the more it dominates your mind. This exercise illustrates how resistance makes things persist. The key is to allow your thoughts and feelings to come and go without clinging to or pushing them away.
2. Organ Reset
Human Garage offers a beautiful practice called the Organ Reset. This technique involves placing your hands on specific parts of your body, like your liver (where anger often resides), and channeling energy to release stored emotions. You can say something like:
"Thank you, anger, for being there when I needed you most. I no longer need you to protect me. I release you now."
This practice helps move stagnant energy and promotes emotional harmony.
3. Shift from “Trying” to “Being”
Language shapes our reality. Instead of saying, “I’m trying to be creative,” simply say, “I am creative.” This subtle shift allows you to embody the trait you’re cultivating, removing the resistance associated with “trying.”
The Flow of Life
Life is a pendulum, swinging between highs and lows. When we try to push away the lows or cling to the highs, we disrupt its natural flow. Acceptance is about letting life move as it will, trusting that each moment has something to teach us.
Consider this: Change is inevitable. Seasons shift, chapters end, and new ones begin. Acceptance is recognizing that life is dynamic and embracing its rhythm, whether it brings joy or challenge.
Acceptance and Financial Abundance
For those seeking financial abundance, it’s essential to recognize this: You rarely earn more than you feel you deserve. Financial flow, like all forms of abundance, comes when we align our thoughts, emotions, and actions with our values. Ask yourself:
Why is financial abundance important to me?
What problems can I solve with this energy?
The bigger the problem you solve, the greater the energy (including money) that flows to you. It’s about creating space for new opportunities and aligning with a purpose greater than yourself.
Final Thoughts: Let Go to Grow
Resistance restricts; acceptance liberates. Whether it’s fear, anger, or sadness, these emotions are not permanent—they’re signals asking to be felt, understood, and released. When we accept life as it is, we step into a state of harmony, creating space for growth, creativity, and joy.
If this resonates with you, and you're ready to deepen your connection with yourself, release stuck energy, and experience true presence, I invite you to explore the Self Expansion App. Inside, you'll find powerful kriyas designed to help you flow energy through your body and anchor into the moment. These practices are your tools for harmony, alignment, and transformation.
Start your journey today—your expansion is waiting.

Thriving in 2025: From Healing to Flourishing 1-1-25
Thriving in 2025: From Healing to Flourishing
Happy New Year, everyone! As we step into 2025, the energy feels palpable. This isn’t just another year; it’s a year of action, a year of flourishing. Over the past few years, we’ve been on a collective journey of revelation and transformation. Let’s take a moment to reflect on where we’ve been and where we’re headed.
2020: The Apocalypse of Revelation
Do you remember the shift that started in 2020? Many of us were sent home, detached from our usual routines, and forced to confront a new reality. The word "apocalypse" doesn’t mean destruction—it means revelation, the uncovering of truth. And that’s precisely what happened. Systems were exposed, veils were lifted, and we were shown the mechanics of control that underpinned much of our world. For many, it was a wake-up call, a chance to see the cracks in the structures around us.
But revelation alone isn’t enough. What followed was a period of introspection and responsibility. As human beings—light beings, creators of light—we began to uncover the shadows within ourselves and mend the weak spots in our own lives.
Building the Foundation
Over the last five years, we’ve been doing the work. Healing, strengthening, clearing. We’ve mended the leaks in our "boats," sealing the vulnerabilities that could steer us off course. But now, it’s time to move beyond the healing phase. It’s time to flourish.
2025: The Winds of Ascension
This year brings strong winds, metaphorical and real, that will propel us toward our desires or amplify the realities we’ve been avoiding. Imagine yourself as the captain of a ship. If you’ve sealed the leaks, set your sails, and focused on the horizon, those winds will carry you to incredible destinations. But if you’re still caught up in fixing the leaks or distracted by fear, the same winds could drive you toward the rocks.
The time to prepare is now. Clear out the residual shadows, let go of what no longer serves you, and step fully into your role as a creator. The foundation has been laid; the boat is seaworthy. Now it’s time to steer.
Letting Go and Making Space
To truly flourish, we must let go of the old programs and patterns that keep us anchored. Many of us hold onto habits, environments, and relationships that no longer align with our highest selves. Whether it’s the job you dislike, the neighborhood that drains you, or the routines that no longer bring you joy, these attachments create stagnation.
When you let go, you create space. And in that space, new opportunities, ideas, and realities can flow in. Think of it like cleaning out a cluttered room. Once the clutter is gone, the room feels lighter, more open, and ready for something new.
Being and Doing: The Nature of Human Beings
As human beings, we are light creators. We are not defined by what we do but by what we are. Just as a farmer farms and a horse does horse things, being human means embodying the essence of light and creation. It’s not something we try to do; it’s simply what we are.
So how do we align with this truth? We act in alignment with our highest selves. We steer toward our desires, not away from our fears. Fear is not the enemy; it’s a guide, showing us where growth is needed. When we confront fear, we transmute it into wisdom and strength.
Thriving Together
Each of us is part of a larger whole. When we thrive individually, we uplift the collective. When we align with our highest selves, we contribute to a world that reflects our collective light. The world is changing rapidly, and it’s up to us to steer it toward a brighter future.

Expand Your Horizons: Moving Beyond Sadness to Live a Fulfilled Life
In today’s fast-paced, hyper-connected world, it’s all too easy to feel stuck, unfulfilled, or lost in a haze of negative thought patterns. But here’s the truth: the way out isn’t by doubling down on what’s not working—it’s by expanding your perspective and infusing your life with novel experiences.
During a recent live session, I explored the idea of breaking free from negative cycles by shifting focus and embracing a broader, more balanced approach to life.
Key Takeaways:
Listen to Your Heart:
Our heart is the center, much like the sun in a solar system, radiating energy that informs our emotions and perceptions. By tuning into this center, rather than the noise of the mind, we access clarity and alignment.Expand Your Life Dimensions:
If you feel unfulfilled, it might not be the primary focus of your life—your career, relationship, or project—that’s the problem. Instead, it could be the neglect of other aspects of life like health, hobbies, friendships, or self-discovery. Fulfillment comes from nurturing all parts of your life, not just one.Move Toward Desires, Not Away from Fears:
Running from sadness or dissatisfaction often leaves you directionless. Instead, focus on what truly excites and fulfills you—this keeps you aligned with your values and purpose.Create Novelty in Your Day:
When life feels monotonous, time seems to speed up. By introducing new and meaningful experiences, you can slow time, feel more present, and create lasting memories.Use Nonviolent Communication:
When miscommunications arise, practice stating facts rather than assumptions, sharing how it impacts you, and making requests for behavior change. This approach fosters harmony in relationships and reduces conflict.Reconnect with Joyful Activities:
Think back to the things that once brought you joy but may have fallen by the wayside. Whether it’s hiking, painting, or simply laughing with friends, these activities reconnect you to your true self.
From Stuck to Fulfilled
Feeling stuck often stems from focusing too much on a single area of life while neglecting the rest. By redistributing your energy across all the things that matter to you, you create a fuller, richer experience of life.
A Pathway to Alignment and Holiness
Ultimately, alignment begins within. When your thoughts, feelings, and actions harmonize, you expand your concept of self and find true connection—with yourself, others, and the universe. This is the essence of living a holy, fulfilled life.

Connecting your Soul/Soles to the Wholeness/Holiness of Earth
Our feet carry us through life—both literally and energetically. Yet, how often do we think about their deeper connection to the earth and our purpose? In this introduction to my latest kriya, we explore the powerful symbolism of the soles of our feet and their connection to the wholeness of existence. This practice is designed to align your body, mind, and soul with your truest direction.
The Power of Our Feet and Connection
The soles of our feet—home to over 250,000 sweat glands—are more than just a means of movement. They serve as an energetic gateway, connecting us to the earth. This kriya dives into the hidden potential of this connection, exploring:
Sweat as Connection: Beyond cooling the body, the sweat glands on our feet create an electrical connection with the earth.
Direction Through Alignment: Our feet guide our direction in life, shaped by both internal values and external influences.
Desires vs. Fear: We often navigate life either moving toward desires or running away from fears. This kriya helps you root into your desires and align with your purpose.
Moving Toward Wholeness
To be holy means to be whole—aligned with the all-encompassing connection of life. Through this kriya, we work to reconnect with the earth, aligning our movements, desires, and motivations with the energy of nature and the cosmos. From the soles of our feet to the intention in our pelvis, every part of the body contributes to this journey toward alignment.
Why This Kriya Matters
This is more than a physical practice. It’s an opportunity to:
Root Into the Earth: Ground yourself in the present moment and harness the energy of the earth.
Move Toward Wholeness: Align your actions with your desires and higher purpose.
Release Fear-Based Patterns: Shift from reactive to intentional living, letting go of survival-mode thinking.
This kriya is perfect for those seeking to reconnect with their body, values, and the energy of the earth.

Breaking Free from Beta Dominate Brain: Embedding Transformative Habits Through Kriya
Are you constantly on the go, checking emails, scrolling through notifications, and struggling to relax? In this video, I dive into a crucial topic for our modern age—how the way we treat the present moment impacts our mental and physical well-being. From brainwave states to building transformative habits, this discussion sets the stage for one of the most challenging and rewarding kriyas I’ve ever done.
Why the Present Moment Matters
In today’s fast-paced world, we’re often stuck in high beta brainwave states—alert, problem-solving, and stressed. Our natural rhythms, like the gentle transitions of sunrise and sunset, are being disrupted by technology. This disruption creates a state I call "beta calcification," where we lose touch with relaxed alpha states and the creative, restorative theta state. Over time, this can lead to anxiety, poor sleep, and weakened mental resilience.
But there’s hope. By consciously working with brainwave frequencies and being intentional about how we start and end our days, we can reconnect with our natural cycles and restore balance.
The Role of Kriya in Transforming Your Life
The kriya I introduce in this video is more than a practice—it’s a reset. This 90-minute kriya is specifically designed to:
Break the Beta Cycle: Move out of the overactive beta state into deeper, more restorative states of mind.
Embed Habits Energetically: Through intentional postures and movements, this kriya helps you energetically embed a habit as if you’ve already mastered it.
Challenge and Transform: With difficult postures and props like yoga blocks or cushions, this kriya pushes you to your limits, helping you focus and release mental distractions.
Action for Your Growth
What’s a habit that you know would support the greatest version of yourself? This kriya is your opportunity to bring that habit to life. With each movement and posture, you’re not just practicing—you’re building momentum for real change.
If you’re ready to reconnect with your body and mind, watch the full video and join me in this transformative kriya practice.
Sign up for my Ascended Membership here to get 9 days free to access this kriya and over 100 other powerful practices. Let’s unlock the best version of yourself together.
Ozempic vs Purium ULT Lifestyle
Purium’s co-founder and formulator, David Sandoval, breaks down the differences between Ozempic and Purium for weight management. As more people seek effective solutions for healthy weight loss, it’s important to understand how these approaches differ in their effects and methods.
Key Differences Between Ozempic and Purium
Purpose and Approach
Ozempic: Primarily a prescription medication, Ozempic is designed to lower blood sugar levels and support weight loss as a side benefit. It alters the body’s hormone levels to impact appetite, potentially reducing hunger.
Purium: Purium takes a holistic approach with natural superfoods and lifestyle-based programs, aiming to reset the body’s nutritional balance and support sustained weight management without synthetic intervention.
Health Impact
Ozempic: While Ozempic has shown results, there can be significant side effects, including nausea, digestive issues, and risks for those with certain health conditions. It’s also important to have a doctor’s supervision when using it.
Purium: Purium emphasizes a natural approach, supporting the body’s own metabolic functions through organic, nutrient-dense foods. This approach is designed to avoid unwanted side effects while providing long-term health benefits.
Long-Term Sustainability
Ozempic: Many users report that while Ozempic may help with weight loss initially, it does not necessarily encourage lifestyle changes for sustainable health.
Purium: Purium’s goal is to empower lasting changes through mindful eating and whole-food nutrition, aiming for a lifestyle that’s easy to maintain and naturally supports overall wellness.
Making the Right Choice for Your Health
David encourages viewers to consider their long-term goals. With Purium, the focus is on nourishing the body and building habits that support wellness from the inside out. For those looking to avoid side effects and make lasting changes, Purium offers an alternative that respects the body’s natural processes.

How to Create a Meaningful Bucket List with Purpose and Integration
In this video, I explore a powerful approach to creating a bucket list that goes beyond the usual checklist. Instead of simply listing random goals, we focus on a conscious, intentional approach that allows us to uncover what truly brings value to our lives.
Why a Bucket List Matters
We’re all familiar with bucket lists, but have we ever thought about them as tools for personal growth? By consciously choosing what experiences we want to have, we can bring more “peak moments” into our lives—the experiences we’ll actually remember and cherish. This is based on “peak-end theory,” which suggests that we remember our lives by the peak moments, not every little detail. So, how do we maximize these peaks?
Steps to Create a Purposeful Bucket List
List What You Desire: Start by listing the experiences, relationships, and achievements you want before leaving this life. Don’t hold back—be honest about what you truly want to experience.
Ask Yourself Why Each Item is Important: After writing each item, take a moment to ask why it’s meaningful. This step brings clarity to your intentions, shifting your mindset from “lack” to genuine desire.
Rate and Prioritize: Rate each item on a scale from 1 to 10 in terms of importance. This helps you focus on what really resonates with you.
Take Action: Choose one item to act on in the next week. This brings your bucket list from a passive dream to an active plan, helping you live out those meaningful experiences.
Tapping into a Higher State
In the video, I also share a unique breathwork exercise to deepen this process. By tapping into a theta brainwave state, we can connect with our inner desires more directly, clearing distractions and listening to what the heart truly wants.

Why to Shave Head and Why not to.
In this video, I’m joined by Jules Horn as we dig into a powerful topic: the choice to shave or let hair grow, and the deeper reasons behind it. While I’m shaving Jules’s head, we’re sharing two contrasting perspectives on hair as a reflection of identity and personal growth.
Jules talks about why he started shaving his head, explaining how it’s a way for him to release attachments and listen more deeply to his inner self. The experience brought him closer to who he truly is, building his confidence and allowing him to show more compassion for himself and others.
In contrast, I stopped cutting my hair several years ago to explore my natural state and connect with my deeper self. Ancient wisdom suggests that hair can act as an "antenna" for energy, connecting us to the elements and even spiritual insights. For me, letting my hair grow has become a way of honoring this connection and seeing my hair as an extension of my being.
Our conversation touches on the historical and spiritual significance of hair – from warriors who shaved their heads to maintain focus to ancient beliefs around hair’s role in energy flow. It’s an invitation to look beyond appearances and see how something as simple as hair can impact our self-perception and the way we interact with the world.
Increase Psychic Potential by 400%
Unlocking Your Psychic Potential: The Power of Sidereal Time
Have you ever felt a surge of intuition or a moment when your instincts seemed unusually sharp? What if I told you that these moments aren't just random but are influenced by cosmic forces aligning with your very location on Earth?
The Galactic Connection
James Spottiswoode, a researcher working with the CIA's Stargate program at the Stanford Research Institute, delved deep into the phenomenon of remote viewing—a practice where individuals can perceive distant or unseen targets using extrasensory perception. After analyzing over a thousand studies conducted over 20 years, he discovered a fascinating correlation: participants' remote viewing abilities increased by up to 400% during specific times of the day.
So, what's happening during these times?
It turns out that these peaks in psychic ability occur when your specific location on Earth is directly aligned with the center of our galaxy. This alignment is measured using local sidereal time—a timekeeping system astronomers use that is based on Earth's rotation relative to the stars rather than the sun.
Understanding Sidereal Time
At approximately 12:00 local sidereal time, the center of the galaxy is directly overhead. This alignment creates a window where the influence of the galactic center is at its strongest. Conversely, at 00:00 local sidereal time, the galaxy is on the opposite side of the Earth from your location.
But here's the catch: a sidereal day is about four minutes shorter than our standard solar day. This means that the alignment times shift slightly each day, and over months, these times can vary significantly.
The Evidence Mounts
Not only did Spottiswoode's research highlight this phenomenon, but Rupert Sheldrake, another pioneering scientist, found similar correlations. In his studies on telepathy—specifically, people's ability to predict who was calling them on the phone—he observed increased accuracy during the same sidereal times.
These studies suggest that the center of the galaxy exerts a significant influence on our psychic faculties. Imagine the possibilities if we could consciously tap into this enhanced state!
Harnessing the Galactic Influence
So, how can you make the most of this information?
Track Your Local Sidereal Time: Familiarize yourself with sidereal time. There are apps and online tools where you can input your location and find out when the galactic center is overhead. Look for apps like "Sidereal Time" to get started.
Schedule Your Practice: Plan activities that require heightened intuition or psychic awareness during these peak times. Whether it's meditation, remote viewing exercises, or simply tuning into your inner voice, aligning with the galaxy can amplify your experience.
Join the Kriya of the Week: If you're seeking a structured practice to enhance your psychic abilities during these potent times, consider joining Kriya of the Week. These meditations are designed to deepen your connection with the cosmos and unlock your latent potential.
A New Cosmic Awareness
By aligning ourselves with the rhythms of the universe, we open doors to experiences and abilities that have long been dormant. The sun influences our daily lives in countless ways—why wouldn't the center of the galaxy, a far more massive and powerful entity, have its own impact?
Whether you view the Earth as a sphere, a plane, or a simulation, the idea remains: there's a profound connection between us and the cosmos. By becoming aware of sidereal time and the galactic center's position, we tap into a clock that's been quietly ticking, waiting for us to listen.
Join the Conversation
I'm excited to hear about your experiences and thoughts on this topic. Have you noticed heightened intuition during certain times of the day? Will you be tracking your sidereal time?
Leave a comment below, and let's explore these cosmic connections together. Share this post with others who might be intrigued by the intersection of science, consciousness, and the stars.
How to Extend Life by Thinking of Food Differently
In this video, we’re diving into a fresh way to look at food—not just as fuel, but as something that can transform our consciousness. I’ll walk you through my personal evolution with food, from the early days of seeing it as energy and taste, to understanding it as medicine, and now as a key to expanding our awareness and vitality.
Here’s What to Watch For:
An Evolving Relationship with Food:
I used to see food as just fuel for the body or a way to satisfy hunger. But over time, I realized it goes so much deeper. Food is actually energy we take from nature itself—sunlight, water, earth, and air.
Now, I look at food as a tool for tuning in to the frequency of life itself.
The Cells Within Us:
Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells, each with specific needs. Feeding them the right nutrients doesn’t just keep us physically healthy; it aligns our cells on a conscious level.
When we choose foods that cleanse, repair, and support cellular health, we’re nourishing the parts of us that contribute to our overall energy, focus, and vitality.
The Power of Superfoods in ULT Lifestyle:
This video highlights the ULT Lifestyle program, where five targeted superfoods are designed to cleanse, nourish, and repair. This lineup helps clear out toxins, like glyphosate, which impacts the gut-brain connection and can disrupt our health in a big way.
With ULT, each superfood has a specific role—whether it’s calming inflammation, enhancing sleep, or giving muscle support. Together, they bring what I believe is the most powerful form of natural support for daily health.
Aligning Mind, Gut, and Heart:
When our gut, heart, and mind are in alignment, we intuitively know which foods will benefit us most. This sense of alignment helps reduce cravings that don’t serve us, allowing us to eat more mindfully and live more fully.
ULT supports this alignment, tuning us in to what our body truly needs on a cellular level.
The Science of Cellular Renewal:
The ULT Lifestyle includes a phase of caloric reduction that triggers autophagy—a natural process where the body clears out old cells and rejuvenates itself.
This approach supports cellular health in a way that boosts longevity and vitality, providing powerful support for living your best, healthiest life.
Discover the ULT Lifestyle
If you’re feeling inspired by this new way of thinking about food, check out ULT Lifestyle. This program makes it easy to incorporate these five superfoods into your daily routine, so you can experience these benefits yourself. Watch the video, explore how this shift can change your life, and join us on a path to better health and higher consciousness.
