 Hello everybody, you can probably tell I've been outside most of the day today So I apologize for the wind-blown hair But I just wanted to give a little bit of an update actually hold on one second Let me pull up the screen here because I've had a couple of people ask me Where the community tab is which is totally fine. They say that I And I just wanted to show you guys Because if you are doing the 30-day shadow work challenge, I mean, I'm still getting emails I'm so happy you guys are doing it. I am also going to be posting even though I'm sending you the template for the all the 30 days to your email I will also be posting it on the community tab to each day day by day So what do I need mean by community tap? This is my channel page as you guys see I am very shadow band at the moment as you guys can tell I'm very very shadow band So I appreciate you guys when you share my videos You're gonna see this tab up here home video playlist community. This is the community tab All right, and so every evening before the next day I will share the next day's challenge on the community tab So on October 31st so Monday October 31st Halloween day That evening I will go ahead and place the first day of the challenge on my community tab So you also have it here as well Okay, I hope that makes sense and as I've said everybody who emails me at shadow work challenge at gmail.com Will get the full template for the full 30 days and your name will be entered into a raffle For the prizes at the end of the month for like four or five people I Do know however that a lot there are a lot of people who are private who don't want to be entered into a raffle And so for those people that's another reason why I'm posting them each day up on the community tab So they can continue to do their work in private Without being put into the raffle with that being said everybody's work is going to be in private Like no one's going to be reading your journal. You can only only share what you want to share with the world If you don't want to share anything with the world, then that's totally fine, too another thing I've gotten some people emailing me about the exercise portion due to like You know limitations they're working with and that's totally totally fine most days you will have options so most days you'll have a slower like bar or A kickboxing and so the kickboxing is not something that you can physically do right now at this here now moment Then you do the slower exercise Or if there is something you need to replace it with then that's totally fine take modifications where you need to take modifications again the exercise portion of this challenge is not about you Being a performer. It's about you learning how to use your body To gather information or to see what your body is trying to tell you By intentionally placing your body in a place of discomfort Which i'm going to tell you again just like emi and i spoke about yesterday Which i'll link that down below in the description box if you missed that Everyone is uncomfortable. So you got to get rid of that myth right away When you see really fit people out there and you think oh, they must love exercise. No, they don't i'm one of them No, they don't I exercise six days a week five of those days. I'm dreading it five of those days I'm putting it off to the very last minute. Okay So it's it becomes a discipline at that point You just do it because you know it's good for you and you understand that the burning of the muscles So the raising of the heart rate the sweat is offering you an experience and an opportunity to understand yourself Better the the ego is is fickle right the ego is not something that is here really I would say for your highest good. It is there is a purpose for the ego the ego is what saves us from fires and bad stuff, but um It also gives us kind of a delusional perception of ourselves sometimes And so when the ego is left unchallenged when it gets to boss you around and do what it wants to do Sometimes the wheat that places us into a position of not being honest with ourselves And it's a slippery slope because we don't know we're not being honest with ourselves But when we've come to a place of vulnerability Through exercise through any type of situation that's going to uh, uh force you to focus Then you become honest Then the ego can't lie to you Right so many people. Oh, I'm good at this or I'm good at that But then they go into do it and maybe that's not the case Right and so that's what the ego is there for how many people avoid exercise Because of their ego because they think they're going to be judged or because they don't think they're athletic Or because they think that only like Egotistical people do exercise. I've heard that before where people oh, you know, the athletes in high school made fun of me So therefore i'm not doing any exercise whatsoever Well, that's the case then you're allowing your ego to actually win at that point and you're not learning from the experience I hope that makes sense And so with the exercise portion with that being said from the emails that I've received The whole point of the exercise portion of this challenge is for you to understand what your body is trying to tell you For you to be able to flush your body by using the example yesterday with emi a rolling stone gathers no moss So when we're sedentary within our body energetically sedentary not only do we see the expression of that with weight gain That's your body showing you if you've gained weight. That's your body showing you that there's trapped emotion But then the motion builds on itself But if we're flushing and moving and moving the joints then we're constantly spring cleaning out all of these held emotions Now i'm not saying that there's ever going to come a point where you don't have any of these traumas We're always going to be working through them, but your body is going to be able to Present them to you in a healthier way if that makes sense. I know for us Excuse me You got a little sand in my throat. I know I know for us in the western world, especially We see physically fit people as being in a different category. We see exercise is something again That's meant to punish us. That's meant to burn calories I don't even want you to think about burning calories Instead when you are sweating and your heart rate is up and your muscles are burning I want you to bring your awareness into your body and think about all the energy The held energy that you now have the opportunity to Flush I want you to think about how much better Your joints are going to feel when that stuck energy Starts to become unstuck because that's really the point of exercise to take stuck energy and make it unstuck Yeah, it's like when shanti talks about knots in the hair like here in america We call it a rat's nest like when a kid gets like knots in their hair and then you get to brush through it That knot kind of hurts to like take the brush and like brush through that knot, right? But once you can brush through the hair it runs smoothly. Okay, so that exercise is giving an opportunity to Break through that knot so energy can run smoothly. Okay, we're not I'll tell you guys a funny story My teacher was in miami back 2016 and at that conference He was making fun of us for putting like all of our handstand pictures on instagram and all that kind of stuff And he made fun of us. He was like, have you seen Cirque du Soleil? I've seen eight times They do it better You are a yoga student. They do it better. He's right Those Cirque du Soleil performance those professional gymnasts. They do it better because that's their job. They're performers, right? You're a student You're a student of yourself So i'm not looking I don't care if you become like A fit model after this or that's not the point, you know, you're gonna feel better when your body is is is toned and stronger but it's not the point the point is that You're using your body in the way that your body is intended to be used Your dna holds information Okay, i'm sorry guys. My light's kind of falling. I'm on the bed again This is a very important video and in order for us to find that information We have to activate it and we talked a lot about the med beds. We know they're coming But the med beds are not going to do anything for you if you haven't done anything for yourself Right, it's not like a tanning bed where you pop in and all of a sudden you come out tan No, it's not going to do anything for you if you haven't done anything for yourself You have to need it halfway. You have to start to figure out your own activation Before you can even go to a med bed and get activated, right? That's not the point of being human the point of being human It wasn't that you were just gonna come here sit sit on your ass eat popcorn and wait for someone to bring you a magic pill You know if I if I knew how to create a magic pill I would be a billionaire by now, but there is no magic pill. You are the magic pill I talk a lot about the match lighting a match That match already has everything it needs on it To create light But by itself Stagnant not moving it can't create the light. What does it need? To create the light It needs the friction of the match book It needs take itself and strike it against the match book You are that match the exercise is the match book You have everything you need inside of you. You just have to activate it by creating the friction the friction the friction, right Um, cliff high has been speaking about this We use different language cliff. I'm and I because we come to from two different lineages But he's basically saying the same thing. I think he called he calls it grappling I think I'm sorry if I got that wrong I use friction same thing It's the same thing. There has to be something that's going to force a change Yeah Okay Gonna hope that makes sense I'm really really excited though. I've gotten so many people are doing this challenge and I'm psyched We probably will create like a telegram channel for you guys to have a support crew I'm gonna kind of look at that this week It might be a little bit a couple days into the challenge depending on my schedule my schedule is crazy right now I don't really know I'm kind of at the mercy of the powers that be right now as to where I go and what I do And when I say that I mean the good powers that be I've been working a lot I've been kind of given some assignments now. So um, so just be patient with me Um, I think you guys for being patient with me, but I've gotten so many people emailing me I'm so excited. We hopefully look at that support group up suits You guys can communicate with each other through this process and I've got a lot of you guys And I really appreciate it you guys a lot of you guys have read through the challenge and have noted How much work I put into it and first of all, I want to let you guys know that when I was creating This challenge sitting down and typing it out I think I was channeling because it was just coming out of me now with that being said I I have had a lot of blessing and privileges in my life and I've had the opportunity to really study this for the past 16 years And use myself as my own experience And because of that education over at ndm able to take Modern exercises like bar and dance and incorporate it into the same modality. So that is true But I also feel like most of what I wrote down in the way I system in which I wrote it was coming from god You know because this is we are the storm you are lightning in a bottle, right? But I also want you guys to know too besides I'm I would have I really want to practice what I preach and that's how I gauge My teachers that's how I gauge people my life. I don't care what you say I care what you do because talk is cheap And when I tell you guys we're all just walking each other home. I mean it I mean it We're all just walking each other home And so I feel like since god gave me the opportunity to go to India and study with some of the best teachers in the world To who much is given much is expected And so I feel like I'm being used as a vessel to create that for you guys because we're all doing this together We're all doing this together. I want you guys to know that during this challenge You're the superstar You are the superstar. I'm just the backup dancer. I'm just the tech support. This is about you Yeah And you're you're free to share whatever you want to share about your experiences or you don't have to share anything about your experiences It is all about You and you learning yourself You want to save the world? You got to save yourself first, right? It's like the oxygen mass It's got to fall down. You got to put it on you first before you can put it on the person beside you Yeah, and and my What I've learned there's a lot that I have learned that I cannot share right now But what I have learned Is that you guys Are so much more powerful Then you think you are There's a reason why the controllers are Afraid of you You got this You got this. Yes more smear campaigns against me will come That's okay Because we're doing something right We're doing something right We are the storm And you guys are taking your power back and that's what's so exciting And once again and saying that if you start the challenge and you mess up one day Who cares? Just start again the next day I guarantee you there's not one person that's going to do this challenge It's going to hit everything exactly right every single day because you are human and as warne says you are perfectly imperfect As I said with um me yesterday and I totally believe that's the more your heart breaks the more the light can come through So the more we mess up in life the more we course correct the more that light can come through We don't learn from the things we do well We learn from the things we do wrong And so with that being said i'm so proud of you guys i'm so proud of you guys and i'm so excited To see what we can do together You got this you're the rock star You're the superstar We're all in this together. We're all on the same team All right, I love you guys. Thank you. Keep sharing this with your friends and family I I have people like siblings are doing this together husband and wives are doing this together I am so excited. I cannot wait to see what y'all's experiences are like and what you learned about yourself all that kind of stuff And I really can't wait for you to figure out just how badass You really are I mean you're a fractal of god You're a fractal of god, of course you've got this You got this. This is going to be a no-brainer for you All right guys. Love you guys and I will talk to you soon. Bye
