 Hello everybody and welcome back to Esoteric Atlanta. Of course my name is Bryce. Today is Wednesday, June 7th, 2023. But before we get into the video at hand, I wanted to make a little bit of an announcement. We were supposed to have Tamara on the channel this morning for you guys, but she has been struggling with her vocal cords. She's kind of been ahead of some sickness. You probably heard it. If you watched her last astrological reading for June, which is over on the Rumble channel, you probably heard her voice was a little scratchy. And so we've rescheduled. We've had to reschedule this video a couple of times just because of her voice. And so hopefully she'll be back on this Friday. Fingers crossed she's feeling better by Friday. So that's why the video has been a little bit delayed. But I do have all of your questions for her that we'll talk about when she's able to come on the show. That's what's going on. Just see you guys know. And I also, before we get into the video at hand, wanted to once again give a very, very big thank you to all of my patrons and my producers here on Esoteric Atlanta. Of course, as you all know, without you guys, I would not be able to do what I do. You guys are like the original sponsors of this channel and my heart truly, truly goes out to you guys. It's it's so cool to know that there are people out there that actually watch my videos and not only that, but want to help support what I do. I truly appreciate you guys. And I thank you so much for your continued support. As always, if that's something you want to do, if you want to join our patron or our producer community, there is a link down in the description box below. And also before we get onto the subject at hand here, once again, is a quick word from our sponsor, Asiya. If you are like me, then you love a good face mask. No, I can't do not. I have been obsessed with face masks since I was a teenager. I have memories of being in high school and having slumber parties with my girlfriends and trying different face masks. This has literally been something that I have been obsessed with my whole life. Now, the problem with me is that I have very dry skin. So I have to be very, very careful with the type of face mask that I use. Otherwise, it will dry my skin out too much and that itself starts to cause some problems. Well, of course, Asiya just released its own face mask. It ran for a trial run last month, and it looks like it's possibly potentially here to stay. Now, of course, once the mask was released, they were going to be doing the mask, I had to order one just so I could try it out. Because, again, girl loves a good face mask. I was a little bit nervous. I'm going to be honest with you guys. I was a little bit nervous that it might dry my skin out, but nonetheless, I thought, what's the harm in trying? I've loved all of their face care system I've been using up until this point. So let's just try the mask. Well, true story, I got the mask in last week. And so that night when I got it in, I washed my face. I put this mask on, which you leave on for about 10 minutes, set my bath up, my nightly bath, put my epsom salts in, all that kind of stuff, grabbed my murder mystery book. I'm always reading some murder mystery book, got in the bath, soaked for like an hour, washed the face mask off, got out of the bath, the rest of my skin routine went to bed. Well, the very, very next morning, I was in the kitchen with my boyfriend. We were still in our pajamas super early in the morning and he reached over, touched my face. He gave me a kiss and he noticed that my face felt tight. Like I had had like a facelist or like Botox overnight. Now he was not aware that I had done the face mask. He didn't even know that it had come in the mail the day before. And I said, interesting, I literally just did the Asiya face mask and I went to look in the mirror and it had appeared overnight that my skin had tightened. Now, yes, I am 40 years old. So I'm kind of at that hinge age, right? I'm still young, but I'm moving into middle age. And so I am even more aware now about what I do to my skin as I enter into the latter part of my life. Since that first time using it, I've used it a couple of more times. And absolutely, I am feeling a difference. It really feels like I have had just someone pull the skin back. It's unbelievable. And so you can order the mask on its own. I actually have a couple more masks coming to me because I wanted to stock up. That's how good this mask is. Or you can get the bundle along with the brush. Personally, I have not used the brush nor did I order the brush. I just use my hands. Or if you want, you can order a bundle of either your personal spa day with the with the lotion, which I do have this lotion as well. Or you can come over here, the ultimate gift for mom. We know Mother's Day is coming up. Or if you just want to send your mom a gift because you know what? You wouldn't be here without your mama. Or you could actually just order this for yourself. But the mask again, the mask is really something special because it really after the first use, I noticed a difference. And so did my boyfriend. So this is something that you're interested in.

So please just text Bryce Info to the number listed below, again all that information is down in the description box. Alright you guys, this video is kind of last minute. I got this question I believe Monday from a viewer named Kelvin. Now I've spoken to Kelvin before, Kelvin is awesome, he's really working on getting rid of his programming as we've all been trying to do during this time and so he's really putting a lot of effort to kind of re-understand himself or inner stand himself and he asked me, he sent me a message on Monday, he said I'm still trying to figure out how to tap into my inner self, help. And when I saw that I thought oh my gosh this is such a great thing to talk about especially for people who are new to true spirituality, it's like one of my favorite quotes, a religious person is a person who has never seen hell, a spiritual person is a person who's been to hell and back again. And so many people during this time are going through their own personal hell, their own dark night of the soul as we are, as I've been saying, we all obviously karmically we all bought a ticket to this hot mess express before we took our bodies here on this earth and so now a lot of people are being faced with a harsh reality that everything we as a collective knew to be true isn't true and that includes religion and so I wanted to start with this question again because I don't want people panicking about this, I know sometimes you know especially if you're coming from like a Christian background you've been kind of programmed I believe in my opinion from my own experiences you've been programmed to kind of panic a little bit that your salvation isn't secure unless you but not only just believe in Jesus but believe in Jesus in the right way right like there's a joke if you're if you did not grow up Christian there is a joke within the Christian community of all the different denominations like my Jesus is better than your Jesus I mean it gets really fatty and yeah and anyway but I wanted to kind of address this publicly Kelvin said I could use his name because I think this again is something a lot of people are struggling with and the first thing I want to say is take a deep breath don't panic alright you're already you're already saved like there's no there's no finish line here right like even when you one day pass away your soul will continue and you don't have to worry about having all the answers right now in this life and in fact if you've been following our law of one series or following a lot of mr. Fox's videos on other channels their density is a density of choice you're picking whether you're going to go service to self or service to others service to others as the positive path service itself is a negative path or you can call it light and dark God Lucifer whatever vocabulary words you want to label it same thing but this is not the density of knowing right so we're limited in this density to how much we can truly know right the I believe the density of knowing is the fifth density and that's the density of wisdom so we have to go through fourth density before we can get to the fifth density anyway so I want everybody to take a deep breath you're not condemned to hell alright it can take as much time as it needs to take and you don't have to create an inner self your inner self has always been there you've just got to let it come through right and so again that's going to take time because you've been programmed to think of salvation as something outside of yourself when it's not it's it's noses it's inside of you and so the first exercise I told Kelvin to do to start to tap into this is to do something very simple and this is just take three to five minutes a day to sit down in silence and really focus on your inhale and your exhale if you feel your mind start to wonder like your mind starts to think about the grocery list or work or your boy problems whatever it may be acknowledge it and then pull it right back into focusing on the inhale and the exhale and as you start to focus on now no hyperventilating go do this fast just an inhale and an exhale and as you start to do that when you feel that inhale come in that's the upward rising energy recognize what's happening to your body in that moment right so do you feel your chest expanding do you actually feel can you actually feel the energy and if your body taking a good upward moment with the inhale and then when you exhale what sensations are you feeling do you feel the body kind of deflate the more and more and more you play with your breath which is a practice called Pranayama now if you want to get into deep Pranayama work you need a teacher for that so just putting that disclaimer out but you can just sit and do something simple that you're doing right now which is inhaling and exhaling now when we think about the breath the breath is kind of this it's kind of like a hinge between the physical and the spiritual right Pranayama is what's controlling your bundas it's what controls the energy of the energetic body and the physical body at the same time so like if you are an athlete or if you are a yoga practitioner and you go up into a handstand right you're not going to go up into a handstand on an exhale it's going to be on an inhale you probably won't be able to lift up if you try to do it on an exhale and so start to notice those patterns right just start to subtly because part of knowing the inner self the true self is recognizing that subtle body that's the first step so wow okay so my breath is so important that when I go into a handstand or do anything that's requiring a sharp burst of energy it's an inhale it's a rising up but when I need to deflate or push energy down it's on an exhale right for women who've had babies you think about pushing that exhale that pushing down and then start to play pay attention to how the inhale and the exhale the inhale the exhale run up and down the spine if you are a runner pay attention to the runner's breath the runner's breath is a very shallow breath and honestly and traditional yoga when you're doing your posture practice your awesome practice it's also a shallow breath too right so how is that shallow shallow breath keeping the adrenaline pumping in your body and keeping your heart rate up because the breath also has to do with your sweat it also has to do with the heart rate you think about fireplaces you know that is it but I don't know what it's called but that thing that blows air on the fire to make it get bigger right that's what you're doing with your with oxygen intake into your body and again the Sanskrit word for this practice is Pranayama Prana is life force Yama's extension extending the life's capacity through breath even even in the Bible it says God breathe life in a man a man stood up breath is so important and so start with that first there's nothing there's no like golden star sticker you're gonna get for doing this exercise in a particular way it's just an observation and if five minutes is too much when you first start if your mind wanders too much try two minutes try three minutes it doesn't have to be like an hour it can just be two minutes of you noticing that and then go about your day another thing to do is again exercise literally exercise so when you put yourself in and if you're new to exercise you know you're not going to be doing the same amount of exercise as someone like me would do because I've been doing this for 17 years right so 10 minutes 20 minutes get your heart rate up for 10 minutes or 20 minutes notice can you be the witness to what's happening instead of being the judge in the jury and executioner can you just be the witness so instead of reacting to your reactions of what's happening in exercise can you just observe it for example when you start to get into exercise when you start sweating you start to feel your muscles burning your brain your mind is going to start to negotiate with you you should stop wow this is uncomfortable you should quit or it might even try tricks like hey you know you really need to start the laundry right now right at this very moment you need to go start a little laundry right my that's what my brain does to me a lot I'll be right in the middle of my practice and all of a sudden I'm like oh my god I need to go start laundry right now at four o'clock in the morning right that's just the brain trying to negotiate with you because the body is uncomfortable so what I would tell you to say is when you notice that just say thank you for thank you for your thoughts interesting that you think that but keep going because when you're on the precipice of change so right when there's about to be a change that occurs and we're exercising the body is literally sweating and burning kind of like a compost pile it's burning old patterns and these old patterns of thought because the body is the mind field so all the thoughts that you've had in your life especially repetitive thoughts that you might not even be aware of start to create patterning within the body which creates an energetic response and this patterning becomes bondage for you so getting through the bondage into the inner self becomes harder and harder and harder now the brain the thought the mind is connected to the ego and the ego is the fault sense of self the ego has purpose there is purpose on a very practical level of understanding for example the ego is what's going to get you to pay attention when you cross the road so you don't get hit by a car the ego is what's going to tell you not to touch the stove when it's turned on right but when you're in something like exercise the ego knows that what you're doing is your repatterning thought really essentially through your body you're repatterning ways of your perception of the world and the ego knows that once you understand that your thoughts are not you and they're not real and the ego isn't real then the ego has no power over you right and so it's going to fight to stay relevant Ram Dass has said especially when you're right at the precipice of having an ego death the ego will become really forceful and so what you need to do when that starts to happen especially in physical exercise when your legs are shaking they're burning and your mind's going you should really stop now you just say okay interesting that you're reacting this way note taken but I'm just going to keep going I'm going to keep going I know it's uncomfortable but it's not that this too is going to pass I'm just going to hang with this see if at that moment when you feel like you should quit see if you can just go one more minute in the exercise and then once that minute is over see if you can go another minute slowly past passing past putting yourself past that point of comfort because if you want change and if you want to understand your inner self you're not going to be able to do that unless you actually enact change yeah there's no magic pill there's no Bippity Boppity boo that's going to come around and all of a sudden Pratibha flash of illumination you're going to understand your inner self you're going to have to go through the process of the compost pile of deconstructing your own ideas through the minefield which is the body I hope that makes sense so again this is just where you start 20 minutes some exercise once 20 minutes is over journal about how you feel 2 to 3 minutes up to 5 minutes of observing your breath and another thing that you can do to that shri swami such he did Nanda recommends in his commentary of the yoga sutras and this is something shanti and I spoke about on Monday on Aquarius Rising Africa so one of the big major crux the crux of spirituality essentially is the idea of the body and the soul being two separate things I think in an abstract way we do understand that in a very abstract way but what I think we don't truly get is that the soul or the ottoman the part of you that's eternal has absolutely nothing to do with your identity in this life so like my soul or my ottoman isn't Bryce Bryce is just an experience for this life and so something shri swami such he did Nanda recommends doing when you're first starting to really process this is like if you are hungry instead of saying I'm hungry say oh my body's hungry or if somebody hurts your feelings just say oh interesting my mind reacted that way so that you start to kind of in an abstract way understand the two are not the same yeah so you can understand that what it what what you really are who you truly are is the watcher you're just watching the experiences of this roller coaster ride that we call life is experience and that who I am is Bryce is just an emotional experience for me to understand that's not really me if that makes sense okay so I know that's that's really a heavy philosophy again you don't have to understand it all at once you just start with the very basics of oh my body is hungry or oh my body needs to go to the bathroom now or oh my body is tired so I'm gonna let my body sleep now yeah and then again doing the exercises so you understand the patterning of your body coming from thought that is trapping the inner self the soul and not letting it fully express itself and then watching the breath and I hope that makes sense again there's no finish line to this so there's no rush to try to understand this right away I'll say again I've said this many times on the channel before but I'll give you an example of what I'm talking about in the yoga world we have this joke where we say the easiest students to teach are the beginner students and the advanced students because both the beginner student and the advanced student know that they know nothing it's the intermediate student thinks they know everything so you want to come to that place of accepting that you don't really know anything all you know is that you're an eternal soul yeah and the yoga sutras too that leads like to one of the the rules of yoga is having complete surrender to God that you're completely surrendered it doesn't mean that you don't stand up for yourself it doesn't mean that you don't protect yourself in fact not protecting yourself not standing up from yourself is putting you on a negative path of being the martyr where you need to experience the ride the roller coaster of so as Bryce I have to protect myself that's part of the roller coaster experience of of learning that strength as a human so that my soul can reflect on that but my permanent soul my opponent is not that okay I hope that makes it I know it's so abstract and it's such a the first time I was ever confronted with this philosophy and I have always been very open-minded as a person I've always really just been very open-minded but this was in the beginning of my yoga journey and I was I was taking a course with David Greek and there was a conference where he lectured basically and he talked about this and I remember just going home that night and just crying because everything that I thought was real from my growing up in the Presbyterian Church all the sudden I realized was not real because what he was saying resonated and it was really scary to have to think of life in a very different way to think about everything that you'd been taught isn't necessarily true I hope that makes sense so don't don't panic there's going to be ups and downs and you just every day you know if you have a bad day you know say you have a really bad day and you just say okay well interesting that I've responded this way interesting that I've I've I've been triggered by some stuff right why why am I triggered and start to work that way as well and over time you know we first get students in yoga I know that a student is very aware of their gross body they're very aware of their quadriceps they're very aware of their biceps they're very very aware of their back but they have no clue they've no tapping into the subtle body and but that only comes over time we can feel the subtle responses deep within the body yeah so just just be patient with yourself and know that there's nothing you have to achieve there's nothing that has to be given to you because you already have it it's already there it's just you deprogramming basically allowing the mind to take a back seat so that the soul the spirit and the subtle body can be the at the forefront yeah so don't panic again I'm going to reiterate this there's nothing that you have to achieve there's no finish line you already have everything you need it's already there as I told Kelvin when I first met him he asked me so if Jesus all paraphrase what he asked me on the show he said so if Jesus wasn't crucified how do we get salvation and my my answer was why why do you think you weren't already saved you were born saved you were born if you want to use a Christian terminology you were born into salvation you don't need to bow down to a death cult in order to be granted salvation from some human being that wears a black robe right black robes is the cult of Satan anyway that's them telling you that they're in the cult of Satan you're already saved when you look at two-year-olds three-year-olds four-year-olds children that are so young that there's no concept of religion in their mind they know God you don't need anybody to tell them who God is they already know God can you go back to that place of where you just knew yeah anyway I hope that makes sense once again I this morning I will be over on solutions with Aquarius Rising Africa at 11 30 Eastern time it's New York time if you're if you're from another time zone join us live we're going to be going back into Green Tara from the Sophia code tomorrow yeah tomorrow Thursday I'll be with Catherine Edwards again on my channel we'll be doing our show and drawing names for the giveaway hopefully tomorrow we'll be back on on Friday we also have an episode coming up again with Mr. Fox and I am still working on a series of narcissistic abuse I've gotten such great feedback from you guys regarding narcissistic abuse and narcissistic abuse is becoming very prevalent right now it's very obvious which is kind of amazing and maybe Mr. Fox can talk about this as well because as we get closer to the timeline shift the ascension or the harvesting as they call it in the law of one we're starting to see narcissists for who they are like it's becoming so obvious as to who's going in what path in what direction and so in order to keep yourself safe I would say always research as I tell you most the time research everything research everything every person some people are not who they say they are and they're developing a cult following and just be careful you're not you're not taking on a new leader that's gonna lead you down a dark and dangerous path just be your own leader and take everything everybody says with a grain of salt including me and do your own research come to your own conclusions that's the journey that you're on and as I've said many times no one's coming to save you and that's your privilege it's you are that much of a badass and a powerhouse that you don't need anybody to save you because you already have everything you need inside of you to do it yourself and if you allow somebody to save you if you allow them to take care of you then you allow them to control you all right so take your power back anyway love you guys and I'll talk to you soon
