1
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome back to the rabbit Hole. I'm

2
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,879
your host, Danny, and today we have the pleasure of

3
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,399
having Tim Thomas on the podcast. He is a former

4
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,120
Australian Special Forces operator who has turned his passion for

5
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:34,520
helping veterans into something tangible in the form of sleep.

6
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,039
He has seen firsthand the importance of improving the quality

7
00:00:38,039 --> 00:00:41,560
of sleep, especially for veterans with PTSD, so he founded

8
00:00:41,679 --> 00:00:44,560
breath Work in Bed. This is so powerful because it's

9
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,439
literally helping people heal their bodies. Sleep is a vital

10
00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:49,719
function of the body that allows the body and brain

11
00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:54,679
to repair, restore, and re energize. It directly affects physical health,

12
00:00:54,719 --> 00:00:58,640
emotional wellbeing, and cognitive performance. Getting good night's sleep is

13
00:00:58,679 --> 00:01:02,320
literally the first step to improving health all the way around,

14
00:01:02,439 --> 00:01:05,120
not just for veterans, but for everybody. And anytime you

15
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,760
listen to anybody talk about health, exercise, being smarter, all

16
00:01:10,879 --> 00:01:13,400
these things, it starts with a good night's sleep. Hi Tim,

17
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:15,200
thank you, Welcome to the rabbit Hole. I'm really excited

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:15,560
to have you.

19
00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: Danny, great to be here.

20
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,599
Speaker 1: I am really excited to talk to you because it's

21
00:01:21,599 --> 00:01:23,400
not often that I get to talk to other veterans.

22
00:01:23,879 --> 00:01:26,400
But you lived in a different world than I did

23
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,079
because American special Forces, not that I have special Forces

24
00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:34,120
playningy means, but like Australia, like it's different, but it's

25
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,560
the same. Can you go into that a little bit.

26
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:43,799
Speaker 3: So Australian special Forces are in two different categories. We

27
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:49,719
have the Commandos, which is highly skilled infantry that can

28
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:55,079
cross amphibious terrain, insert via you know, various different means

29
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,959
and land sea, and then you've got the SAS and

30
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,400
we do that on scale. Commandos do that on and

31
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:00,879
then we've.

32
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:02,599
Speaker 2: Got the SAS Special Air.

33
00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:06,879
Speaker 3: Service and they're like small teams go in kill capture

34
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,680
type missions and we were I was in two thousand

35
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,080
and four to twenty ten, had my deployments to Afghanistan

36
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:20,360
in that time, and I would people ask, what's the

37
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,400
difference between you know, regular units and special forces?

38
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,199
Speaker 2: And I say it like this.

39
00:02:28,159 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: In a regular unit, there are people that are just

40
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,039
as fit, that can shoot just as well and had

41
00:02:34,199 --> 00:02:37,120
you know, all the mental acumen. But in the special

42
00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:42,080
forces unit, their lowest common denominator is a lot higher

43
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,039
than the lowest common denominator in a regular unit. So

44
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,360
there's a lot of screenings to get to sort of

45
00:02:47,439 --> 00:02:53,560
raise up the minimum standard. So and that becomes apparent,

46
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:55,719
you know, when you're on deployment, when you're doing things

47
00:02:55,759 --> 00:02:58,919
and you know you're as fast as the slowest player,

48
00:02:58,919 --> 00:02:59,919
if you know what I mean.

49
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so then okay, so you do your service and

50
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:08,360
then you get out what leads you to breathwork and sleep.

51
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: It's ironic you should say that because in Afghanistan, the

52
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:21,280
part of the operational intent was to off center the enemy,

53
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,960
and a big part of that was off centering meeting.

54
00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:31,879
You attack something that's that's part of their center of power,

55
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:34,800
and if you can off center it, then they no

56
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:38,479
longer function. And sleep was one of those things. So

57
00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:41,280
so we would run operations during the nighttime, you know,

58
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,919
to deliberately attack their sleep. Because we didn't anything about

59
00:03:45,919 --> 00:03:48,000
the science of sleep. We just knew, Danny that if

60
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,919
we could take it out for three nights, it would

61
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,319
it would mess them up better than a bullet, right,

62
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,159
and and and and who do you want to be

63
00:03:54,199 --> 00:03:57,479
fighting a well rested enemy or someone who's you know,

64
00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:02,000
not functioning, you know, half delirious and.

65
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,639
Speaker 2: More worried about what you're doing.

66
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 3: So and ironically, again we weren't sleeping very much when

67
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,719
we're on deployment.

68
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 2: And this is beyond not sleeping.

69
00:04:17,319 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 3: Your whole body hurts from carrying heavy stuff, and things

70
00:04:23,319 --> 00:04:27,120
happen that attack your system too, like you lose your mates,

71
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:32,560
you have limbs blown off others. And I remember being

72
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,480
in this really low state, Danny, that I thought, there's

73
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,839
no point I'm going to die out here. Why even try?

74
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,399
It's like I've only got two cents worth of energy.

75
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:49,360
And it's funny what happens when you're an absolute low.

76
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,120
It's almost like our ancestral knowledge kind of comes in,

77
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,399
because I do believe we've all got this ancestral knowledge,

78
00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:02,879
but we just lacked the environment for it to pop out,

79
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,439
because it only comes out when it's needed. And when

80
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:08,920
I was at that absolute low point, it was like

81
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,160
this voice came through to me saying, Tim, if you've

82
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,399
only got two cents worth of energy, you better invest

83
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,519
that two cents wisely. And I couldn't work any harder.

84
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,839
But every now and then we can get horizontal in

85
00:05:21,879 --> 00:05:24,199
the dirt and get your head down for an hour

86
00:05:24,319 --> 00:05:27,199
maybe or two. And I thought, well, instead of just

87
00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:29,560
crashing into the dirt, I'll take that two cents that

88
00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:33,240
I have, and I'll do some deep breathing because in

89
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,160
the army they get you to take a site picture.

90
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,399
To take a picture down your rifle, you take a

91
00:05:40,439 --> 00:05:46,079
deep breath in, let it out slowly, and then you

92
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,800
take up the first trigger pressure. So instead of trying

93
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,519
to sleep, I focused on my left thumb, my non

94
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,839
dominant hand, and I pictured a little pin hole in

95
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,560
the top of it, and I breathed deeply, like sucked

96
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,920
air down my thumb, and eventually that thumb didn't just relax,

97
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,040
it started glowing white.

98
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 2: You know in my mind's eye. Yeah, And I pulled

99
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,879
it through my thumb to my pointer finger. And then

100
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:15,720
I went to sleep.

101
00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: And I noticed that when I did that, I'd wake

102
00:06:18,759 --> 00:06:21,360
up with instead of two cents, twenty cents.

103
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, that's interesting.

104
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 3: And the next time I got horizontal, I invested the

105
00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:30,720
twenty cents, you know, my thumb and threw my fingers

106
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:33,839
through my hand. Woke up and I had two dollars

107
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,360
worth of energy. And I discovered, Danny, that energy is

108
00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:39,600
like money. How you invest, it's how you get it back.

109
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,240
And I couldn't work any harder, but I could improve

110
00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:46,600
the quality of my sleep, and I noticed that improving

111
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:51,160
the quality of my rest. I just everything started getting better.

112
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,439
And there came a point where, you know, I was

113
00:06:56,439 --> 00:06:59,600
investing two dollars getting twenty dollars back, and I had

114
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,040
extra energy so I could wake up and I could

115
00:07:02,079 --> 00:07:05,680
do a few push ups, lift a few ammotins, and

116
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,800
that was good for me. But then I realized, hey,

117
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,079
I'm in a team, and if they're having a bad day,

118
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:11,800
I'm having.

119
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:12,279
Speaker 2: A bad day.

120
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,079
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

121
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:20,079
Speaker 3: And it's funny how as your energy rises, your awareness expands.

122
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,199
And when I was fatigued, my awareness was like a

123
00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:26,360
pinprick and it was all about me.

124
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: So I noticed that.

125
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 3: Sleep was the bridge between me being rather selfish and

126
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,720
wrapped up in and justifiably, you know, I was in

127
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,959
a world it hurt, but being externally focused investing on

128
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,639
this so I could then be aware of others and

129
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,600
do what I could. And I realized, look, even if

130
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,000
I'm being selfish, it makes a lot of sense to

131
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,240
build others up around you. Because I had to go

132
00:07:52,279 --> 00:07:54,600
to Afghanistan to realize when the person next to me

133
00:07:54,639 --> 00:07:58,360
is stronger, I'm stronger. You know, who did I want

134
00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:00,800
around me when good times turn bad? I want fatigue

135
00:08:00,839 --> 00:08:04,279
disconnected people, you know, or did I want rested and

136
00:08:04,279 --> 00:08:06,759
connected people? Makes a lot of sense, man, And so

137
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,839
so now that's kind of in my DNA Danny. The

138
00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:14,279
difference and I'm a human, right, the difference between me

139
00:08:14,399 --> 00:08:18,959
being selfish and generous is how well I can rest,

140
00:08:19,639 --> 00:08:25,079
rejuvenate and recover. And it's such a switch. But it's

141
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:30,120
almost like the culture we live in has an acceptance

142
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,440
of poor quality sleep. They just think it's normal. You know,

143
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,200
I've had a two hours sleep last night, had a coffee.

144
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: What's your problem?

145
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:40,519
Speaker 1: You know you can sleep when you're dead.

146
00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:42,919
Speaker 2: Yeah.

147
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:47,039
Speaker 3: We give badges to people that you know, can work

148
00:08:47,639 --> 00:08:50,240
incredibly long hours. Cash in there tomorrow is to live

149
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:56,440
today and nobody's It wasn't until I was at sort

150
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:01,480
of rock bottom that actually started seeing not just the benefit.

151
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: Of sleep, but how to do it naturally.

152
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:10,919
Speaker 1: But it like that because like, isn't sleep inherently natural?

153
00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:16,639
Like you know how to just sleep, yes.

154
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 3: But unfortunately, when if you've had chronically elevated cortisol levels

155
00:09:21,759 --> 00:09:29,519
for periods of time, we often think that when we're

156
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,720
doing when we're being still and resting, there's always something

157
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,519
else to do, Like it's not a case of just

158
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,080
turning the light off at the end of the day

159
00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:41,480
and then because your your brain's still kicking over.

160
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 2: So it it's.

161
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 3: Not Some people don't need to be told to work harder.

162
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,159
They have to be shown how to how to sleep.

163
00:09:51,399 --> 00:09:55,759
And so so my thing is, think of your performance

164
00:09:55,799 --> 00:09:57,320
all the things that you want to achieve in this

165
00:09:57,399 --> 00:09:59,919
world like a pyramid. Top of the pyramid, you're achieving

166
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,200
what you want, you know, whether it's you know, making dollars,

167
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:08,200
creating a fantastic relationship, performing in a physical sport. That's

168
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,879
the top of the pyramid. Everyone sees that. But the

169
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,639
bottom of the pyramid is your rest, recovery and healing

170
00:10:14,759 --> 00:10:19,559
art forms. And no one you know, sees that. No

171
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,240
one praises you up for that. There's no public you know, going, hey,

172
00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:24,679
this person got a good night sleep.

173
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 2: Whooh, you know.

174
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 3: But it's it's probably two thirds of the pyramid. And

175
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,960
that's why in war, if you want to destroy your enemy,

176
00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:37,320
to take out the bottom of their pyramid.

177
00:10:36,919 --> 00:10:37,919
Speaker 2: Take out their sleep.

178
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 3: And if people really understand, like corporates kind of get

179
00:10:44,879 --> 00:10:48,840
this because the data is in like sleep, poor employees

180
00:10:48,879 --> 00:10:52,159
take twice almost twice as many sick days, they're thirty

181
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,480
forty percent less productive and the workplace health and safety

182
00:10:56,519 --> 00:10:58,720
goes up. I think they worked out it was like

183
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,799
between fifteen hundred and three thousand dollars per annam per

184
00:11:04,879 --> 00:11:10,039
employee per sleep poor employee in loss of productivity, loss.

185
00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 2: Of you know, sick days and all that sort of stuff.

186
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,200
So the data is in.

187
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 3: But what happens was what happened to me when I

188
00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:21,559
told a doctor that hey, I couldn't sleep, they just

189
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,639
threw a pharmacy at me. Yep, And I lost six

190
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,440
years of my life to pills. I didn't know there

191
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:32,720
was a natural alternative. And you know, I can't get

192
00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:34,639
that time back, Danny. But you know, as God is

193
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,320
my witness, I made a promise not to let anyone

194
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:42,679
else go to that rabbit hole without some some you know,

195
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:43,759
natural options.

196
00:11:43,799 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 2: You know.

197
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: So what led you to finally like leave the pills

198
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,759
behind and like just dedicate your your sleep to like

199
00:11:53,799 --> 00:11:57,480
a more natural way. Does that make sense?

200
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 2: Yeah? No?

201
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,759
Speaker 3: No, good, good, good call, because people dance in this

202
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,399
space without and thinking it's normal, and you know, waking

203
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,279
up at two am getting out of better you know, struggling,

204
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,360
hating life and you know, I'm a guy with a

205
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,759
lot of chronic injuries. If I'm not, you know, living

206
00:12:16,919 --> 00:12:20,200
a healthy lifestyle, they kicked my as straight away. So

207
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,440
the question is how it actually came together. I knew

208
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:29,360
about breath work, but it wasn't until my divorce that

209
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:34,559
I started understanding what was stopping people breathing properly, as

210
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:40,080
well as that breath has a certain medicinal level. Okay,

211
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,480
we're all breathing, but there's a certain way to make

212
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:47,360
it medicinal. And even if you take a deep breath,

213
00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:51,720
understanding that it's not so much a set of lungs

214
00:12:51,759 --> 00:12:54,080
we all own, it's a medicine cabinet with a lot

215
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,440
of different shelves, and if you breathe a certain way,

216
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:58,840
you can elicit.

217
00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: A certain medicine. Uh So I think it was.

218
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: I had a COVID divorce, and you know, classic example

219
00:13:12,039 --> 00:13:17,360
of lost househome, money, regular access to kids. I was

220
00:13:17,399 --> 00:13:22,679
sleeping on the couch in my parents' place, and you

221
00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:25,080
can bet I wasn't sleeping very well.

222
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 2: And this was the irony.

223
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 3: Though I knew about breath work, I knew in my

224
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,000
mind that breath work would bring.

225
00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: Me peace, But.

226
00:13:37,639 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: It was like all that crap in my system had

227
00:13:40,399 --> 00:13:42,600
me locked into this state that I couldn't escape. I

228
00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:44,720
knew what the right thing was, but I couldn't do it.

229
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:51,360
And I then started. I had an understanding that your

230
00:13:51,399 --> 00:13:56,080
mind's like a garden. Whatever your water grows, and I

231
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,840
was watering the weeds of stress, and the weeds of stress.

232
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,879
I don't just take over the garden. It's like eyeballs

233
00:14:03,919 --> 00:14:06,759
pop out of them. They become sentient, and they become

234
00:14:06,799 --> 00:14:09,679
aware of the things that you do that feed them,

235
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,720
and they become hyper aware of the things that you

236
00:14:12,879 --> 00:14:16,960
do that starve them. Like a small example of this is,

237
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,200
you know, before you go and do some exercise, there's

238
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,320
a part of you going on, let's not do this now,

239
00:14:21,639 --> 00:14:22,480
Let's do it later.

240
00:14:22,559 --> 00:14:24,399
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe I'll just look at my phone

241
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:25,360
for a bit. You know.

242
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 3: That's the disempowered parts of you, knowing that if you

243
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,000
exercise and you empower your physical body, they're kicked out.

244
00:14:33,559 --> 00:14:33,759
Speaker 2: Yep.

245
00:14:34,159 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 3: So all the negative parts of me were screaming the

246
00:14:37,519 --> 00:14:39,679
loudest before they got kicked out, right.

247
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,799
Speaker 2: And at two am, when.

248
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 3: I had all this stress and it felt worse than

249
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,679
the war zone in Afghanistan, to be honest, and.

250
00:14:51,919 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: I was.

251
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,279
Speaker 3: I was about to do alcohol pill self harm, and

252
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,919
I just looked at my left thumb and I said, Tim,

253
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,600
you can take one breath.

254
00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:06,919
Speaker 2: Take one fucking breath, and I drove it into my

255
00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:10,639
chest went, oh my gosh, this works. It felt like

256
00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:12,799
I was coming up from the bottom of the ocean, Danny.

257
00:15:12,879 --> 00:15:14,159
And then I got a second.

258
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,159
Speaker 3: Figure, take a second breath, drove two fingers in, Okay,

259
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,559
this is working. Take three, Get to five, breath after breath,

260
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,559
finger after finger, and then somewhere between breath fifteen and twenty,

261
00:15:28,519 --> 00:15:32,399
those stress weeds got kicked out. The chemical override happened,

262
00:15:33,039 --> 00:15:35,399
and the rest of my brain was like, thank goodness,

263
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,840
you kick those freaking stress weeds out.

264
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,399
Speaker 2: Keep doing this. This is working, right, because.

265
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,039
Speaker 1: Stress can kill you. Like stress is so bad for you.

266
00:15:46,159 --> 00:15:48,360
It's amazing what breath can do too. Like I've been

267
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,080
trying to teach my son, he's four, and I'm like,

268
00:15:51,159 --> 00:15:53,440
you know what, buddy, I get, you're like super overwhelmed

269
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,600
about like the world. But like when he gets really

270
00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:57,639
worked up, I'm like, just take one deep breath and

271
00:15:57,679 --> 00:16:00,360
then we let's talk about it. Like, and I don't

272
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,320
know why I do that. But I'm like, let's take

273
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,000
a deep breath and then we'll like figure out what

274
00:16:05,039 --> 00:16:09,039
it is that's causing you now this temper tantrum or whatever.

275
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, breath is your way back to sovereignty. And

276
00:16:16,679 --> 00:16:19,399
to me, mental health isn't so much a mental problem.

277
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,879
It's a physical disconnect. So when I'm so focused out there,

278
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,440
I've disconnected from my own body, and I can have

279
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,519
all sorts of crazy cortisol and hype and shallow breathing,

280
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,080
you know, without even night because I'm so focused out there.

281
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 2: So when you breathe and come back to your body,

282
00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:39,320
this is your charge point.

283
00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 3: So when I'm working with high school students downy, I'll say,

284
00:16:42,879 --> 00:16:44,840
you know what would happen if you never charge your phone?

285
00:16:46,519 --> 00:16:49,039
Of course it would go flat, But before it goes flat,

286
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,120
it goes onto this power saverer mode, okay, where you

287
00:16:53,159 --> 00:16:56,080
can barely see the screen. You don't have access to

288
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:03,759
all the functions. And that's what I've often seen humans

289
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:11,839
as a collective functioning in because they've they're they're focused

290
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,960
outside of them. They're not connected to this that they're

291
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,920
not connecting back into their charge point. And you know,

292
00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:24,160
if you want to create a conspiracy theory here. I

293
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,039
I believe that currently we're an economy of dysfunction.

294
00:17:28,519 --> 00:17:31,079
Speaker 2: Okay, So.

295
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 3: There's things that we can do for ourselves that the

296
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,119
economy says, Hey, no, just pay money.

297
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,559
Speaker 2: I'll do it for you. You know, So.

298
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 3: Creating your own energetic state, no no, we'll sell your coffee.

299
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,359
We'll sell you an energy drink. Creating your own you know,

300
00:17:50,039 --> 00:17:54,400
state of relaxation. No no, no, I'll sell you a pill.

301
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,440
I'll give you alcohol to change at a state.

302
00:17:57,039 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 2: Okay. And I personally believe we are made to be

303
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,119
in altered states.

304
00:18:02,759 --> 00:18:07,519
Speaker 3: But I'm dyslexic. I see things in patterns. There's seven

305
00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:09,759
billion people on the planet. There's a five hundred and

306
00:18:09,799 --> 00:18:14,279
forty billion dollar illegal drug spend. We like being in

307
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,519
altered states, but we don't know how to do it

308
00:18:16,559 --> 00:18:20,799
for ourselves. And that's getting that economy of dysfunction is

309
00:18:20,839 --> 00:18:24,519
capitalizing on that. So when with your breath we can

310
00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:30,440
alter our states, you know, whether it's studying, sleeping, working

311
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,640
out in the gym, creating, getting high in your own supply,

312
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,640
this is what the magic of breath is. And once

313
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,400
we actually can do it for ourselves, all that economy

314
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:45,240
of dysfunction becomes redundant really quickly. So my goal for

315
00:18:45,799 --> 00:18:48,400
all the people I interact with is for them to

316
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:53,519
be energetic millionaires. Okay, considering energies like money, how you

317
00:18:53,559 --> 00:18:55,640
get it, how you invest its, how you get it back.

318
00:18:55,759 --> 00:19:00,039
And Danny, you've got a unique energy investment portfolio in

319
00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:01,640
side of you. Things that you do that give you

320
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,680
a lot of energy. You know, things that your kids

321
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,200
do that that give them energy, Things that we do

322
00:19:06,279 --> 00:19:09,279
that take energy, people that we hang out that take energy.

323
00:19:09,559 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, so it's even you can't even think

324
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:18,200
like that if you're stuck in this dysfunctional economy that

325
00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:21,240
tells us no, no, you pay money for us to

326
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,799
do things for you that you could otherwise do for yourself.

327
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 3: You know, imagine, imagine leaving the house going, you know

328
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,640
what I've given myself, the peace, power, connection, joy that

329
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,920
I'm looking for, That that the money that I'm earning. Yeah,

330
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,440
I'm going to get that car and I'm going to

331
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:39,319
enjoy that car. I'm going to get that house. I'm

332
00:19:39,319 --> 00:19:41,400
going to enjoy that house. But that's not going to

333
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,960
do for me what I haven't already done for myself.

334
00:19:44,799 --> 00:19:46,839
You know, imagine leaving your house going yeah.

335
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 2: I've got this. Today is just a victory. Life.

336
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,559
Speaker 3: Today is just me going, you know what, it feels

337
00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:53,559
good to do this. And it's one thing to blah

338
00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:56,240
blah blah and say that, but it's another thing to

339
00:19:56,279 --> 00:19:57,000
actually go.

340
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 2: Whoa, this is this is the real deal. Yeah, And

341
00:20:01,079 --> 00:20:07,319
this is why I found that. You know, breath gives

342
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:14,680
you back your own sovereignty of self, your ability to feed, nourish, heal,

343
00:20:15,559 --> 00:20:17,440
you know, be generous to others.

344
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: So you mention that you're like really passionate about helping

345
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,400
PTSD or like veterans with PTSD. So like when I

346
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,799
was in the throes of my PTSD and like I

347
00:20:27,839 --> 00:20:29,720
was having nightmares all the time, like I didn't want

348
00:20:29,759 --> 00:20:32,599
to sleep, Like you couldn't pay me enough to want

349
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,200
to go to sleep because I'm having those dreams that

350
00:20:35,279 --> 00:20:39,960
I don't want to have. Yeah, so how does this help?

351
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,519
Does it change things? Like how do you like convince

352
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,759
veterans who are having nightmares that like, hey, it's really

353
00:20:45,799 --> 00:20:46,680
good for you to sleep.

354
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:55,079
Speaker 3: Well, you're touching on something that's rather massive, and we

355
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,599
actually cracked the code in this space and I'll share

356
00:20:58,599 --> 00:21:01,720
it with you and your listeners. It was two things

357
00:21:02,799 --> 00:21:07,799
that aren't on any spreadsheets, and these two things enabled

358
00:21:07,839 --> 00:21:10,880
me to achieve a personal goal of saving forty veteran lives.

359
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,720
It was my lifetime goal. I didn't care if I

360
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,599
if I achieve that, I'd die happy. It was achieved

361
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,759
within twelve months understanding these two concepts, which I'll share

362
00:21:19,759 --> 00:21:25,119
with you now. Firstly, it doesn't matter if your pain

363
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,759
or discomfort is physical or mental. It gets to a

364
00:21:28,759 --> 00:21:34,119
certain duration or intensity that it transforms from just pain

365
00:21:35,319 --> 00:21:39,440
to loneliness isolation. I'm the only one going through this

366
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,640
because in that state of isolation, no one's got your back.

367
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,759
I can't drop my guard for a second because if

368
00:21:45,799 --> 00:21:49,720
I drop my guard, if I rest, something bad's.

369
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 2: Going to happen, and it's going to be my fault. Okay.

370
00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:54,599
Speaker 3: And so I put it to you those dreams were

371
00:21:54,599 --> 00:21:57,039
you saying, ah ah, you can't drop your guard. You're

372
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,160
unsafe if you drop your guard. You need to be

373
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:04,079
in this elevated state. And so the first thing that

374
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,759
we that we found that worked is we had to

375
00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:11,440
break the person's isolation. And it could be something as

376
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:16,160
simple as someone sharing hate. I used to have these

377
00:22:16,279 --> 00:22:22,440
terrible dreams I used to hate sleeping, but then you know,

378
00:22:22,559 --> 00:22:26,400
I really understand what you're going through. And then what

379
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,559
usually happens is people's jewel And I see this. When

380
00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:32,759
I was running these groups, the guys, the jaw would

381
00:22:32,839 --> 00:22:36,200
drop open and I'd say words like fuck.

382
00:22:36,319 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 2: I thought I was the.

383
00:22:37,079 --> 00:22:43,839
Speaker 3: Only one, you know, but you can't leave it there.

384
00:22:44,599 --> 00:22:47,759
Veterans are really good at creating his anti social social groups.

385
00:22:48,079 --> 00:22:51,359
I can only be myself around other veterans, right, And

386
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,359
they're not the only ones. I'm sure there's other you know,

387
00:22:54,759 --> 00:22:58,000
people with certain illnesses that just get together each week

388
00:22:58,039 --> 00:22:59,920
and it's powerful breaking isolation.

389
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:01,319
Speaker 2: But they leave it there.

390
00:23:01,559 --> 00:23:04,839
Speaker 3: So the thing that needs to happen next is because

391
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000
people are in that loan, in that feeling all alone.

392
00:23:08,599 --> 00:23:11,279
I'm the only one who's got my back. It's very

393
00:23:11,319 --> 00:23:19,279
fatiguing to be like that. And when I was in

394
00:23:19,319 --> 00:23:21,319
that loop, that's what I told the doctor, Hey, I

395
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,839
can't sleep. I lost many years to pills. But what

396
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,440
you need to understand about breath work is that it's

397
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,079
not meditation. It's not thoughts controlling thoughts. This is a

398
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,200
chemical override. This isn't that you alcoholize your neural pathways.

399
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,039
It's like going to the side of the house and

400
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,799
pulling out the fuse box, you know, the light. The

401
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,680
lights go out, and you think it's impossible until it

402
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,839
actually happens. Just like me when I was in that

403
00:23:49,079 --> 00:23:52,559
you know, war zone inside my head. Somewhere between breath

404
00:23:52,599 --> 00:23:59,200
fifteen and twenty, the alcalization happened and the empowered parts

405
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,240
of my mind start taking over. I think you technically,

406
00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:07,640
you're switching from the amigdalert to the prefrontal cortex.

407
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 2: Your fight or flight. It's fast, but it's.

408
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,839
Speaker 3: Kind of stupid. It sees everything as a threat. Right,

409
00:24:13,519 --> 00:24:16,920
But then the prefrontal cortex, you know what all is well,

410
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:23,240
I am okay in this moment, and breath work guided

411
00:24:23,279 --> 00:24:27,079
and this is what I found. As much as I

412
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,279
knew it was good, it had to be guided. So

413
00:24:29,319 --> 00:24:32,240
I started making these stupid ass recordings of my own.

414
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 2: Voice going ho turn broth Oh.

415
00:24:36,839 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 3: But you know ancient army saying if it's stupid and

416
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,920
it works, it's not stupid, right. So I started making

417
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,279
these recordings, and you know, I gave them to a

418
00:24:45,279 --> 00:24:47,440
few friends and they're like, Tim, this is working, this

419
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:47,920
is great.

420
00:24:48,559 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 2: And so.

421
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 3: Dialing back to your question, how do you break the

422
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:58,839
cycle and get back into it? Breaking isolation is the

423
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,359
first step knowing you're not the only person going through it,

424
00:25:01,599 --> 00:25:06,720
and within that asking the golden question, and this is

425
00:25:06,759 --> 00:25:10,480
a game changer. How many other people are in my

426
00:25:10,599 --> 00:25:15,880
situation right now? If I was to give it a number? Okay, So, Danny,

427
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,759
if I was to ask you, how many other in

428
00:25:17,799 --> 00:25:22,200
your case veterans were having trouble sleeping because of nightmares?

429
00:25:23,079 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: Oh, a lot of them.

430
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 2: Let's give it a tangible number, ten, twenty thousand.

431
00:25:28,799 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: Oh, I would say, I guess I don't know how

432
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,720
many veterans there are in the world, like one hundred thousand,

433
00:25:35,039 --> 00:25:37,400
because I bet like I was across the world.

434
00:25:37,559 --> 00:25:41,279
Speaker 2: Right well, I would say, problem with that. That's a

435
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,920
very very generous that's very low, low figure. But let's

436
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,000
call it one hundred thousand, right, okay.

437
00:25:47,039 --> 00:25:50,039
Speaker 3: So right now, when you're and this is part of

438
00:25:50,079 --> 00:25:52,920
breaking the isolation, going oh okay, if there's other people

439
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,400
in this right now, and I encourage people to picture

440
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,720
those one hundred thousand people. There's fifty thousand on your left, Anny,

441
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,640
fifty thousand on you're right, and they're saying, hey, Danny,

442
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,200
if you can find a way forward for you, you can

443
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,599
find a way forward for us, and a lot of

444
00:26:11,599 --> 00:26:16,400
them you probably haven't even met yet that when you

445
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,279
do meet them, they'll say words to the effect of,

446
00:26:18,319 --> 00:26:20,680
you know what, I'm so glad you chose back in

447
00:26:20,759 --> 00:26:23,799
twenty twenty six to move forward because the thing that

448
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,359
helped you move forward, you're helping me move forward, and

449
00:26:26,559 --> 00:26:29,680
you're helping me in far less time. Yeah, and so

450
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:37,000
consider that you're not just making and when you're hurting.

451
00:26:37,079 --> 00:26:40,039
It's really hard, because Jesus to make progress. I've only

452
00:26:40,079 --> 00:26:43,400
made an inch of progress the last month, right, But

453
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,599
if you've got one hundred thousand people around you, that's

454
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:51,079
one hundred thousand inches. Yeah, that's a light So let's

455
00:26:51,279 --> 00:26:53,880
multiply out and see the self benefit. Even if it's

456
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,519
an inch of progress, that's one hundred thousand. And So

457
00:26:56,759 --> 00:26:59,319
making decisions based on the fact that you've got all

458
00:26:59,319 --> 00:27:01,559
these people willing you want and you make a way

459
00:27:01,599 --> 00:27:04,480
forward for you, you make a way forward for them.

460
00:27:04,759 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 2: Okay.

461
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 3: And if all it is is listen to some soundtrack

462
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,359
tell me to breathe it out, I can do that,

463
00:27:10,079 --> 00:27:11,240
you know I can do that.

464
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:11,799
Speaker 2: That's a win.

465
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 3: And so what we found was once we you know,

466
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,519
asked that golden question of people, how many other people

467
00:27:21,559 --> 00:27:25,960
do you think are in that situation? And then started

468
00:27:26,039 --> 00:27:27,960
doing things to get them out.

469
00:27:27,799 --> 00:27:33,039
Speaker 2: Of fatigue, It's like all the.

470
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,519
Speaker 3: Crap fell off their inner compass. They're in a knowing

471
00:27:36,559 --> 00:27:39,079
and they knew what they were supposed to do next.

472
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,359
And this is where you know, there's millions of dollars

473
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:53,920
spent on mental health and it seems I mean, if

474
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,799
you're going to go conspiracies, you know, the all the

475
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,400
crap they pour in misses the mark. If you're not

476
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,920
addressing the isolation someone's feeling. If they could have the

477
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,839
best psychologists in front of them, but if they don't,

478
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,920
they couldn't trust them, and they're too fatigued to take

479
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,920
on that, it's pointless, right. So, if you don't address

480
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,160
the loneliness and isolation people feel, if you don't address

481
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:23,799
the resultant fatigue, it is really hard for anything to

482
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,799
get in that. Conversely, when you address those two points,

483
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,599
people sort of click into what they know what they're

484
00:28:32,599 --> 00:28:35,880
supposed to do next. And this is what we found

485
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:41,359
time and time again. People essentially knew what to do,

486
00:28:41,759 --> 00:28:43,839
but they it was hard to know what to do,

487
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,240
and you didn't know who to trust. You felt like

488
00:28:46,279 --> 00:28:49,160
you're the only one going through it, and you are

489
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,319
incredibly fatigued.

490
00:28:51,559 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: I am a bigger Like the bigger conspiracy here is

491
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,759
that they want us to be fatigued like they want

492
00:28:56,839 --> 00:28:59,119
us to be because, like we talked about at the beginning,

493
00:28:59,319 --> 00:29:01,480
like they want us to not sleep. In there, we

494
00:29:01,519 --> 00:29:03,720
almost like praise people like, oh you you got two

495
00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:06,279
hours of sleep last night and you're like running It's fine, Like, oh,

496
00:29:06,559 --> 00:29:08,599
sleep when you're dead, all these things, but like they

497
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,680
want us to be tired, They want us to not

498
00:29:11,759 --> 00:29:14,960
function because then they can control us better. I mean

499
00:29:15,039 --> 00:29:17,039
you talked about it with the military. The very first

500
00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:19,400
thing they do when you get to boot camp is

501
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,359
like they kept us up for seventy two hours because

502
00:29:21,359 --> 00:29:24,519
then they can like break us down easier. Right, Like

503
00:29:24,559 --> 00:29:26,079
the same thing when I went to see your school,

504
00:29:26,119 --> 00:29:28,720
like they're going they made us tired for an entire

505
00:29:28,759 --> 00:29:30,519
week before they're like, Okay, now we're gonna terrogate you

506
00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:32,960
and see what you're gonna give us. Like we hadn't

507
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,400
slept in five days, Like yeah, I'm gonna try to

508
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,799
give you whatever. I can sleep a little bit so yeah,

509
00:29:39,839 --> 00:29:42,680
I think they like to have us in this state

510
00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:45,640
of dysfunction.

511
00:29:46,599 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, dysfunction off scentedness. And just picture this. You've got

512
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:50,920
two groups of.

513
00:29:50,839 --> 00:29:56,319
Speaker 3: People, right, and consider that we are in a consumer

514
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,160
society and everyone knows that, right, But what's the goal

515
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,559
of a consumers society?

516
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,279
Speaker 2: It's to consume, right, So, and people go, okay, but

517
00:30:05,319 --> 00:30:07,079
they don't actually see the gravity of this. Okay.

518
00:30:07,119 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 3: So if you had two groups of people, and let's

519
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,440
say one group of people, they weren't sleeping. They were

520
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,119
told that whatever they had was never enough, that all

521
00:30:16,119 --> 00:30:20,359
the solutions were outside of them, and you've got to

522
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,319
look after you. Don't look after anyone else. It's all

523
00:30:23,359 --> 00:30:23,799
about you.

524
00:30:24,319 --> 00:30:24,799
Speaker 2: Yeah.

525
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,519
Speaker 3: And then you had another group of people. Their sleep

526
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:34,160
was restorative and they woke up feeling good. They knew

527
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,720
their value and they could improve it. They knew that

528
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:46,240
improving others improved them, and they could. They also knew

529
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,240
and saw and valued the value that was inside of

530
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:54,200
them and could increase it. Now, which group of people

531
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,160
would buy more shit they didn't need.

532
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: The dysfunctional group. The group does not sleep, They need

533
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,519
more things from the outside world.

534
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

535
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,359
Speaker 3: Someone once asked me in the last week. You know, Tim,

536
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,000
how would you what how would you create world peace?

537
00:31:13,799 --> 00:31:16,000
And I said I would start one good night's sleep

538
00:31:16,039 --> 00:31:18,359
at a time, and they kind of looked at me

539
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,240
like I was, I'm like, think about it. When someone's

540
00:31:22,279 --> 00:31:26,480
not sleeping, they're not thinking their body is under functioning,

541
00:31:26,519 --> 00:31:28,759
they're looking for solutions.

542
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: Outside of them.

543
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 3: They're they're they're often I know, I'm cranky at other people,

544
00:31:33,319 --> 00:31:35,920
you know, and I'm I'm and I'm sort of blaming

545
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,000
others stuck in my own world. Conversely, when I'm when

546
00:31:39,039 --> 00:31:43,160
I'm well rested, connected to self, got a lot of energy,

547
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,319
I got a lot of options more than just that

548
00:31:46,319 --> 00:31:48,519
guy's an ahole. I'm going to be an ahole back

549
00:31:48,519 --> 00:31:55,119
to him, you know, and all these things, all these

550
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,319
abilities that we have start coming online. But if if

551
00:31:59,319 --> 00:32:02,400
we're in power mode, like a phone on power saver mode,

552
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,839
we don't know, we don't have access to all the

553
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,599
functions that we have, all this higher functioning stuff, and

554
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,400
we just think it's normal to be in power save

555
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,400
and mode, and we build worlds around the fact that

556
00:32:13,599 --> 00:32:15,960
we don't have access to all this awesome stuff that's

557
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,079
inside of it. So the biggest joy that I have

558
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,519
dan isn't so much, you know, improving sleep, it's seeing

559
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:28,119
people flourish in ways they never thought possible. You know,

560
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,359
the saying I have about sleep, A sleep is the

561
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,440
soil from which everything grows. And the world we live

562
00:32:35,519 --> 00:32:38,519
in is very visual. You know, if someone doesn't have

563
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,240
a trunk in the shape that they want, there's plenty

564
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,839
of things you can buy to help your trunk. If

565
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,200
you don't have the fruit and the life that you want,

566
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,039
there's plenty of things that you could buy to help

567
00:32:47,079 --> 00:32:50,039
with that fruit. But someone who really understands how that

568
00:32:50,079 --> 00:32:53,279
tree works, they won't just look at what is seen.

569
00:32:53,359 --> 00:32:56,799
They'll look at the unseen, the soil from which it grows.

570
00:32:57,519 --> 00:33:00,079
And if you improve the quality of that or guess what,

571
00:33:00,319 --> 00:33:03,799
you get the trunk, you get the fruit. And I

572
00:33:03,839 --> 00:33:05,880
see this time and time again. It brings me so

573
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,400
much joy that inside of everybody are these seeds of uniqueness,

574
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,319
seeds of greatness, and they're just lying dormant, waiting for

575
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,359
the soil quality to lift and then.

576
00:33:16,279 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 2: It naturally flourishes.

577
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 3: You cannot stop a seed from flourishing with the you know,

578
00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:23,359
really enriched soil.

579
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 2: And this is.

580
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:31,839
Speaker 3: How this unseen part you know someone on sleep quality,

581
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,680
you know, impacts absolutely everything.

582
00:33:35,759 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: So right before we started recording, you said that you

583
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,759
would like just come from doing breath work because you're

584
00:33:40,759 --> 00:33:42,279
on the other side of the world, so like our

585
00:33:42,359 --> 00:33:46,119
time zones are drastically different. So you're like, yeah, I

586
00:33:46,119 --> 00:33:48,160
just finished my breath work and like for the day,

587
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:49,759
like you were getting up and doing your breath work.

588
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,160
So you do it multiple time, not just at bedtime.

589
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,559
You're doing it all the time.

590
00:33:54,359 --> 00:33:57,759
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. Having a lot of chronic injuries.

591
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,559
Speaker 3: Even though I noticed I've gotten a breath work because

592
00:34:00,559 --> 00:34:04,039
I noticed my pain scales were dropping. Remember I said

593
00:34:04,079 --> 00:34:07,039
about medicine and a big part of my pharmaceutical regime

594
00:34:07,119 --> 00:34:09,840
was around pain. But I just noticed the more breath

595
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,719
work I did, the more my pain scales dropped. And

596
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:17,239
as much as going to sleep with breath, I'd wake

597
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,760
up feeling better. I was like, you know what, I

598
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,880
think I could improve this. So getting out of breath

599
00:34:23,119 --> 00:34:25,320
and this was the game changing because I just woke up.

600
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,880
My whole life was waking up. You just feel like

601
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,719
shit for the first ninety minutes, like death warmed up.

602
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,400
That was that was me, you know, shut up until

603
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:39,440
I've had a coffee and I thought, well, instead of

604
00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:42,960
just forcing this, how about taking five minutes, just five

605
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,480
minutes before my feet flling over the side, and do

606
00:34:45,599 --> 00:34:47,320
breath work getting.

607
00:34:47,039 --> 00:34:51,639
Speaker 2: Out of bed, And holy crap, it worked.

608
00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 3: So I have a specific breath work that turns my

609
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,880
bed into a cloud. Yeah, I have a specific breath

610
00:35:00,119 --> 00:35:04,320
breath work that turns my bed into a trampoline. And

611
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,480
life occurs very differently if the first five minutes of

612
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,159
the day, you're connecting to your own power, your own peace.

613
00:35:11,159 --> 00:35:15,599
Because I noticed if I woke up and I didn't

614
00:35:15,639 --> 00:35:21,559
have something there to prompt me into my a positive, empowered,

615
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,320
oxygenated mindset, It's like I had all these negative thoughts

616
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,280
ready to jump in. I've heard people call it the

617
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,480
vultures on the BedHead, you know, the negative thoughts that

618
00:35:32,519 --> 00:35:34,239
are waiting to dive into your head.

619
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 2: And I noticed how quickly I would absorb the negative

620
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,400
stuff if I didn't have a structure in place, you know,

621
00:35:43,119 --> 00:35:46,800
a simple button depressed to say breathe, massage certain points,

622
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,800
and and to.

623
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 3: Understand that if you can, if you can just win

624
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,800
the first five minutes of the day, you've won the day.

625
00:36:01,679 --> 00:36:03,559
Speaker 1: And it's so powerful, Like I want to stop you

626
00:36:03,599 --> 00:36:05,480
there for a second, because so many people roll over.

627
00:36:05,559 --> 00:36:07,119
They grab their phones, and the first thing they do

628
00:36:07,199 --> 00:36:09,840
is jump on social media, where they then get like

629
00:36:10,599 --> 00:36:15,239
just over, like just overwhelmed with like negative like the

630
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,320
world's burning this that the other. Like I had to

631
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,000
tell my husband, like you have to stop telling me

632
00:36:19,079 --> 00:36:21,039
about all the AI taking over the world first thing

633
00:36:21,079 --> 00:36:22,880
in the morning, because I just can't handle it, Like

634
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,679
I just can't do that. And so like like just

635
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,280
training your brain or like changing your mindset like that

636
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,039
little bit, but like it doesn't take long. Five minutes

637
00:36:32,119 --> 00:36:34,039
is not that long. We're all laying in bed for

638
00:36:34,079 --> 00:36:36,519
five minutes before we get up anyway, Well that's not true.

639
00:36:36,519 --> 00:36:38,440
My husband does not do that. He gets right out,

640
00:36:38,599 --> 00:36:40,880
but I'm laying in bed for five minutes.

641
00:36:42,039 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 2: Yeah.

642
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, well consider that, you know, doing a bit of

643
00:36:45,159 --> 00:36:51,480
breath working bed. Mike's Mike's all the difference. And I

644
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:56,599
saw that energy is either spiraling up or spiraling down.

645
00:36:56,639 --> 00:36:58,760
You're not you're not holding ground. When I had negative

646
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,639
thoughts in my head, I noticed my whole body would

647
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:06,400
change and it would life would occur very differently, and

648
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,920
I'd think about more negative stuff, and you're speaking to

649
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,159
your point on you know, looking at your phone too

650
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,639
long in the mornings. That's an automatic disconnect from your body.

651
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,679
That's setting your day up for your focus out there.

652
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,840
You've you've already pulled yourself out of your.

653
00:37:23,639 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 2: Charge point. So breath movement is awesome for your body.

654
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,199
But I found.

655
00:37:38,519 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 3: Again this falls into the category of if it's stupid

656
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,760
and it works, it's not stupid. I found it super

657
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,880
powerful even though I was resistant to it. Positive affirmations

658
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:54,119
in the mirror, you know, saying three times, all things.

659
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 2: Are working out for my benefit. All things are working

660
00:37:58,480 --> 00:37:59,840
out for my benefit.

661
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,199
Speaker 3: Everything in your life, tim is working out for your benefit.

662
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,440
And again that is that is not an easy thing

663
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,719
to do first thing in the morning, when you're waking up.

664
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:12,519
But if I've got like a recording there to guide

665
00:38:12,559 --> 00:38:14,440
me to that, well, I'll just go and do it.

666
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:15,599
Speaker 2: And it's easy to do it.

667
00:38:15,639 --> 00:38:18,199
Speaker 3: And if I you know, I'm not lazy, but if

668
00:38:18,199 --> 00:38:19,800
there's an easy way to do it, I'll do it.

669
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:20,679
Speaker 2: You know.

670
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 3: So to have these have these silly little recordings going

671
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,760
do this, do this, do that. Before you know it,

672
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,400
you're like connected to your body, connected to your mind,

673
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,840
and then you're ready to you know, connect to the

674
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:35,480
outside world and without you know, I have to say

675
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,719
it's quite obvious, but the more powerful we are connected

676
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:42,559
inside ourselves, the more powerfully we can be connected outside

677
00:38:42,599 --> 00:38:46,559
of ourselves. And so I always ask, you know, at

678
00:38:46,599 --> 00:38:48,920
the end of a morning routine, where you've connected to

679
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,599
your body, connected to your mind, would you like to

680
00:38:51,679 --> 00:38:55,519
double the energy and connection you're feeling right now? And

681
00:38:55,559 --> 00:38:58,840
if the answer is yes, consider that being connected to

682
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,880
yourself is only half the connection. You've got to connect

683
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,960
outside of yourself. So consider the possibility that doing an

684
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,280
act of generosity to somebody else is you making a

685
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:15,000
full circle connection to somebody you know. So I believe

686
00:39:15,039 --> 00:39:20,039
that generosity is a natural progression when you're spiraling your

687
00:39:20,159 --> 00:39:21,440
energy upwards.

688
00:39:22,079 --> 00:39:28,159
Speaker 1: Wow, I guess I never talked about it like that, huh.

689
00:39:29,159 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 3: If you want to buy it, if you want to

690
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,719
buy a hack your own health, do active generosity from

691
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,239
that position of strength, you know, from from servant hood,

692
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,239
not servit chewed, because then that creates so much powerful

693
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,760
chemicals in you, and it doesn't have to cost you anything.

694
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 2: Like I literally just you know, you know, the voicemail

695
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,239
button on on on a message your service.

696
00:39:51,559 --> 00:39:54,679
Speaker 3: I go, you know, ah, you know hay Grant, just

697
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,159
saying good ay mate and letting you know that you're

698
00:39:57,159 --> 00:39:57,880
bloody awesome.

699
00:39:58,159 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 2: I love you.

700
00:39:59,159 --> 00:40:02,159
Speaker 3: And in my my world, you know what, my world's

701
00:40:02,159 --> 00:40:04,159
better because you're in it. You have a fucking good day,

702
00:40:04,639 --> 00:40:07,760
you know. And then that's it, Like what twenty seconds.

703
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 1: Right and it didn't do anything.

704
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, felt good to me. And when when you know

705
00:40:12,159 --> 00:40:15,360
old mate gets it, he's like damn. And then then

706
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,880
often you get that message back I don't. I do

707
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,280
it without expectation. That's the thing you got to you

708
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,239
got to do it without any attachments. But when it

709
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,880
comes back, it's like damn. You know, Like consider Danny

710
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,639
that if you knew the people around you had your

711
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:36,159
back one hundred freaking percent, and they knew you had

712
00:40:36,199 --> 00:40:40,800
their back one hundred freaking percent, it's like everything else

713
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,559
in life becomes a very small detail.

714
00:40:43,079 --> 00:40:44,519
Speaker 2: You know. We got this, bring on.

715
00:40:44,519 --> 00:40:47,639
Speaker 1: It, you know, yeah, because like you want It's like

716
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,719
I didn't realize that you were thinking about me, Like wow,

717
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:57,559
thank you, Like it's so simple. Yeah, I guess I

718
00:40:57,599 --> 00:41:00,239
never thought about that. I give you a compliments some time,

719
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:01,880
but then I feel like weird. I'm like, I don't.

720
00:41:02,039 --> 00:41:04,280
I'm like not trying to be weird. I just like

721
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,400
like your hair today, or you know, like that's like

722
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,679
a nice outfit. It makes people feel good. And I'm

723
00:41:09,679 --> 00:41:13,199
in the habit of like complimenting every other women because

724
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:18,119
I don't know, it's easier to do, I think, but yeah,

725
00:41:18,119 --> 00:41:20,480
I guess I never thought about it like that, Like

726
00:41:20,599 --> 00:41:21,239
giving back.

727
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's really easy just to go good.

728
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 3: Morning John, you know, and just send that three words

729
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,159
good morning, you know, Terry John, just and that they

730
00:41:33,599 --> 00:41:35,320
know that you've thought of.

731
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 2: Them and you've sent that greeting through and like, oh,

732
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,800
that's just just asking.

733
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 3: I always ask myself what would I like today, And

734
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,920
once I'm at the right energetic state, I will then

735
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:54,320
give it to others.

736
00:41:55,639 --> 00:41:57,679
Speaker 2: And this is this is where Tim gets a bit woo.

737
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 3: Woo right now, because you know, like I said, I

738
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,719
had to go to Afghanistan to realize that the person

739
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,639
next to me stronger than I'm stronger. These days, I

740
00:42:04,679 --> 00:42:08,000
actually see that other people are just other versions of me.

741
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,599
I'm not Tim, I'm another form of Danny, okay. And

742
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,519
you know, going through life, it is it seems quite

743
00:42:18,599 --> 00:42:20,960
natural to reach a certain point where you want to

744
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:22,519
build up others.

745
00:42:22,599 --> 00:42:24,280
Speaker 2: And I don't actually see others as others.

746
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,599
Speaker 3: They're just other forms of me in the way that

747
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,400
you know when you go to the gym, there's some

748
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,000
guys that just work arms, and they're just these big

749
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:32,400
arms walking around.

750
00:42:32,519 --> 00:42:33,519
Speaker 2: They couldn't do a sit.

751
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 3: Up or you know, you know, a leg press, but

752
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,400
they've got these big arms, right, And so I put

753
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,800
it to them that they're not fully strong.

754
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,039
Speaker 2: Okay, So in this world.

755
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 3: That as I see, we're all interconnected, I want all

756
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,719
of me to be strong. So it's it's almost a

757
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,400
selfish act when I do what I can to strengthen

758
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,760
those around me, because they're they're all the other parts

759
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:58,000
of me.

760
00:42:58,880 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 2: And when I.

761
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 3: See it like that, I detach from the idea of

762
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,760
getting a you know, I give something and then I

763
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,440
expect something back, because that's just that's just another part

764
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,199
of me, and they they if I'm going to be

765
00:43:15,199 --> 00:43:17,679
fully strong, this is how I how I have to think.

766
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,280
Speaker 1: Right, So, how do we teach ourselves breath work?

767
00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 2: Like? What do we do? Sure? Well?

768
00:43:23,599 --> 00:43:27,079
Speaker 3: First up, it's everything starts with seeing the self benefit

769
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:32,280
and how quickly it can benefit you and I'd love

770
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,079
to show you just how quickly that can happen if

771
00:43:35,119 --> 00:43:38,679
you're open to doing a little, a little, a few breaths.

772
00:43:38,679 --> 00:43:42,239
So my party trick, Danny is I'll show you how

773
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,039
to completely relax your body in just three breaths.

774
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,159
Speaker 1: I fall asleep because I did not get a good

775
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:48,039
night sleep last night.

776
00:43:48,079 --> 00:43:49,599
Speaker 2: Tim, Well, this is.

777
00:43:49,559 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 3: Perfect, okay, So just just register right now if I was.

778
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,440
Because when I'm working with people, I'll ask how good

779
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:58,679
are you feeling out of ten?

780
00:44:00,119 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 2: And how bad are you feeling out of ten?

781
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 3: Get that so if you go, I should have had

782
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,039
a bad night sleeper, So see how I'm balancing that.

783
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean, because I feel like, okay,

784
00:44:11,639 --> 00:44:13,000
I don't know, like a seven.

785
00:44:13,679 --> 00:44:17,119
Speaker 2: Okay, and how and that's good or bad? I feel

786
00:44:17,119 --> 00:44:19,239
good okay seven?

787
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 3: And if I say how bad you are feeling, then

788
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:23,960
wouldn't that be three?

789
00:44:24,039 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 2: Then?

790
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 1: Well, like, wouldn't I just give it the other number?

791
00:44:29,159 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 2: Well?

792
00:44:29,679 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 3: No, Well the invitation is to see that when you

793
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,280
look at the bad stuff, it's amazing how.

794
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 2: Quickly it grows. You get that, so, so oh you

795
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,320
know I did sleep poorly? That you know what?

796
00:44:44,079 --> 00:44:46,639
Speaker 3: Just to sort of whatever you look at grows right.

797
00:44:47,199 --> 00:44:53,719
But what I'm going to do now is because breath

798
00:44:54,039 --> 00:44:57,760
has the ability to change your state, we have to

799
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,960
give ourselves permission for that's eight change to happen. And

800
00:45:02,039 --> 00:45:05,559
often our current state is locked into into every cell

801
00:45:05,639 --> 00:45:08,800
without knowing it. So when I when I start any

802
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,159
kind of practice, I always ask for permission from the

803
00:45:11,199 --> 00:45:16,360
person because this is just an invitation. Okay, you know so, So, Danny,

804
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,920
do you give permission to your very own breath to

805
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:21,679
fully nourish every single.

806
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 2: Cell in your body? Yes? Awesome, that was easy.

807
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,760
Speaker 3: Next question, do you give permission to your very own

808
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,360
breath to fully nourish your conscious thinking mind?

809
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 2: Yes? Great?

810
00:45:34,519 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 3: Last one, Danny, do you give full permission to your

811
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:42,079
very own breath to fully nourish your unconscious mind?

812
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: Yes?

813
00:45:43,199 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 2: That was harder. I don't know.

814
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, like yeah, I'll do it, but like I'm

815
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:49,880
a little nervous about it.

816
00:45:52,639 --> 00:45:54,679
Speaker 3: No, this is great, This is great, okay, And and

817
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:56,599
this is going to be really simple. I'm going to

818
00:45:56,679 --> 00:45:59,400
be here the whole time coaching you three step by step.

819
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,159
So all I'm going to get you to do is

820
00:46:02,199 --> 00:46:05,800
blow out and then breathe in, then breathe.

821
00:46:05,559 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 2: In more and more and more and more and more. Okay,

822
00:46:08,679 --> 00:46:10,719
so I invite you to to blow it out and.

823
00:46:10,679 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 3: Shake as you blow it out, blow it out, shake

824
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,159
it out, blow it out, shake it out, out out out, out,

825
00:46:15,159 --> 00:46:17,559
out out out, And when you're all the way out,

826
00:46:17,599 --> 00:46:18,400
start breathing in.

827
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 2: Now, breathe in more more and more, more, more, more

828
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,599
more more more more more more more more more.

829
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 3: Now hold it and just wriggle for a bit, wriggle

830
00:46:31,559 --> 00:46:33,000
and if it feels good, let it out with a

831
00:46:33,079 --> 00:46:39,119
nice big sigh.

832
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 2: Just let that go through your system.

833
00:46:43,519 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 3: That's your sovereign energy. Well, little dizzy, Yeah, so we're

834
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,880
auctionating our system. And when you're breathed in a bit

835
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,199
more and more, did you notice how you breathe in

836
00:46:57,199 --> 00:46:58,519
a bit more to your top third?

837
00:46:59,679 --> 00:47:00,159
Speaker 2: And can.

838
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:06,559
Speaker 3: This is your This basically is, as I understand it,

839
00:47:06,599 --> 00:47:11,000
where your energy levels sit. So when we're breathing into here,

840
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,719
we're getting a lot more energy, not just because of

841
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,239
the oxygen exchange. Is that when we're you know, if

842
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:19,880
you've got the weight of the world on your shoulders,

843
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:23,039
you're hunched over and you're crushing your top third. So

844
00:47:23,159 --> 00:47:28,360
breathing into your top third makes you more structurally aligned. Okay,

845
00:47:29,079 --> 00:47:31,400
and think of it. Think of it like this, and

846
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,679
this is this is this was backed up with some

847
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:40,960
military stats. Our body runs off electricity, okay, and there's

848
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,920
all these electrical cables going from your brain through your system.

849
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,880
But they're not like hard cables. They're like soft and

850
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,480
squishy garden hoses, you know. And you know when you

851
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,280
step on your garden hoses, less water going through. Well,

852
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:57,039
when we're hunched over, we're essentially stepping on our energetic hoses.

853
00:47:57,199 --> 00:47:57,519
Speaker 2: Okay.

854
00:47:57,559 --> 00:48:00,559
Speaker 3: So when we're breathing properly, it's not just the best breath,

855
00:48:00,639 --> 00:48:01,639
it's the alignment.

856
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:03,760
Speaker 2: And here's the funny thing.

857
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,800
Speaker 3: When I work with the British Special Forces, they found

858
00:48:07,119 --> 00:48:12,800
that every degree your structure was out, you lost between

859
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:14,519
eight and twelve percent strength.

860
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:19,039
Speaker 2: Wow. Okay. So let's say I could carry one hundred kilos.

861
00:48:19,519 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 3: If I'm one degree out, I can only carry eighty

862
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:27,760
eight to ninety two. Okay, So consider consider that one

863
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:33,519
proper breath can actually make you eight to twelve percent stronger.

864
00:48:36,159 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 1: And that makes a lot of people want to do it,

865
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,800
especially men. I think, like I think, I don't know,

866
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:43,679
you could correct me, because I'm probably wrong. But I

867
00:48:43,679 --> 00:48:47,840
feel like men are probably more nervous to do breath

868
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:52,440
work than women. But you tell them like you'll be

869
00:48:52,519 --> 00:48:54,280
stronger that they'll do it.

870
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's I'm talking about self benefit right now. Okay,

871
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,280
all right, so yeah, heck, I don't want to be injured.

872
00:49:01,559 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 2: I don't want to you know that that's important to me,

873
00:49:04,639 --> 00:49:07,159
so self benefit. Right.

874
00:49:07,199 --> 00:49:09,079
Speaker 3: So what I'm going to show you right now, and

875
00:49:09,119 --> 00:49:10,920
this is the joy I get from my job. I

876
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,920
show people because we all own bodies, right, but most

877
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,000
people think it's just something that a meat bag that

878
00:49:16,039 --> 00:49:18,840
carries my eyeballs around, you know, to look at my phone.

879
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,280
What I'm going to show you right now is a

880
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,239
little thing inside your body that will help power up

881
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:25,760
this this top third.

882
00:49:26,599 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 2: Okay. So in your two fingers and thumbs, if you

883
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,679
pinch them together, they become a power button. Okay.

884
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:36,760
Speaker 3: So what I'm going to get you to do is

885
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,480
I've got mine up here so you can see them,

886
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,519
but put yours down by the side, and we're going

887
00:49:41,559 --> 00:49:45,880
to exhale, and then halfway through we're going to pinch

888
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:50,440
those power buttons and boost and see how that boosts

889
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,159
the top third inhale.

890
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 1: Okay, so during the we're going to pinch.

891
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, on the inhal so we're going to blow it,

892
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,679
shake it out, okay, blow it out, shake it out,

893
00:50:01,679 --> 00:50:04,119
blow it at, yep, blow it out, shake it out,

894
00:50:04,119 --> 00:50:04,920
blow it out, shake it.

895
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 3: Out, out out, out, out out, And when you're all

896
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,800
the way out, start breathing in, and then halfway through,

897
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:11,039
hit those power buttons.

898
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,159
Speaker 2: And look up, look up, look up, look up.

899
00:50:13,199 --> 00:50:17,159
Speaker 3: Breathing, breathe and breathe in, hold it, wriggle gently, wriggle

900
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:21,440
and stretch, wriggle and stretch, wriggle and stretch, stretch out.

901
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:25,679
Speaker 2: Any kind of stuck energy, and when you can't stop it,

902
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,159
let out the juiciest sigh ah.

903
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:34,079
Speaker 1: And it feels dizzy that time.

904
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,800
Speaker 3: Did you notice anything as you're breathing in when you

905
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:47,599
pinched those fingers, the top third of your energy, top

906
00:50:47,679 --> 00:50:50,239
third of your lungs inhaled a bit more.

907
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

908
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,159
Speaker 1: I think I brought attention to it too, because I

909
00:50:53,199 --> 00:50:53,960
was like paying attention.

910
00:50:55,079 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, most people never pay attention to this.

911
00:50:59,119 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 3: And it's a if you saw someone rapidly shallow breathing,

912
00:51:06,199 --> 00:51:09,440
you know they're they're freaking out, okay, and that's pumping

913
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,400
more cortisol and stress through your system. A lot of

914
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,880
people don't know that. It doesn't matter if you breathe shallow,

915
00:51:16,199 --> 00:51:20,519
fast or slow. You're sending a signal through your system

916
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,760
that you're in fight or flight. You can't rest properly,

917
00:51:24,119 --> 00:51:28,239
your brain can't switch off. Okay, So what I'm going

918
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:34,760
to show you now is a way to enhance your

919
00:51:35,039 --> 00:51:36,679
parasympathetic nervous system.

920
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:40,559
Speaker 2: You'll rest and digest. So all of us, we all

921
00:51:40,599 --> 00:51:43,079
have noses. Okay, that's mine. It's funny when you look

922
00:51:43,119 --> 00:51:44,159
at it and.

923
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:53,119
Speaker 1: It doesn't look broken. Do you break your nose? It is?

924
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,599
Speaker 2: Oh, it is? Yeah.

925
00:51:54,639 --> 00:51:57,760
Speaker 3: Before I was in the army, I was a professional fighter.

926
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,559
Oh early days, early day to mixed martial arts.

927
00:52:01,639 --> 00:52:03,039
Speaker 2: Yeah.

928
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 3: And the point I'm trying to make here is, even

929
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,199
if you've got what's called a deviated septum, behind our

930
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:15,480
noses is the sinus systems. And when I was fighting,

931
00:52:15,519 --> 00:52:17,519
my coach always used to tell me, before you do

932
00:52:17,559 --> 00:52:21,920
a combination, tim do a big snort, okay, because in

933
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,039
his mind, that pulled oxygen rapidly over.

934
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:26,760
Speaker 2: The sinuses to oxenate the brain.

935
00:52:27,159 --> 00:52:29,679
Speaker 3: You bypass the lungs when you give it a rapid

936
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:33,679
inhal through the nose, and whether that was based in

937
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,480
science or not, I don't know, but it helped me

938
00:52:36,559 --> 00:52:40,559
perform when I needed it. And what I'm going to

939
00:52:40,599 --> 00:52:44,599
get you to do now is do the same exhale,

940
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,840
but then with your mouth closed, I want you to snort,

941
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:53,280
like really push your nose to the ceiling and snort

942
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,559
that air in like you're trying to snort air over

943
00:52:55,559 --> 00:52:57,800
your sinuses and into your brain.

944
00:52:57,920 --> 00:52:58,800
Speaker 2: Does that make sense?

945
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 1: Yeah?

946
00:53:00,639 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, So we're simply almost going to do

947
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,199
the same thing, but we're going to sort of double

948
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:06,400
the speed of our in house and.

949
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:07,760
Speaker 2: We're gonna suck it over our nose.

950
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:11,280
Speaker 3: Cook cool, all right, So blow it out, shake it out.

951
00:53:11,599 --> 00:53:14,800
Have your power buttons ready, power buttons ready, and when

952
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,159
you're all the way out, hit those power buttons rapid

953
00:53:17,199 --> 00:53:17,639
breathe in.

954
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:27,639
Speaker 2: Gently, regal and let it out with it. Let that

955
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:28,800
energy you go through your.

956
00:53:28,639 --> 00:53:33,199
Speaker 3: Body, conscious and unconscious mind. You can feel lightheaded, but

957
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:37,239
that's okay. When you when you're breathing for the first time,

958
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,639
it can feel a bit like, you know, when you

959
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:41,440
run around the block for the first time and you

960
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,519
haven't gotten and it feels really kind of like, oh,

961
00:53:44,679 --> 00:53:46,159
this is almost a bit too much.

962
00:53:46,639 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 2: Well, this is this is your breathing receptivity.

963
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 3: You know, your your threshold increasing, So so be jannle

964
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:54,360
on yourself.

965
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 2: So another thing our economy of dysfunction bases itself.

966
00:54:02,599 --> 00:54:05,679
Speaker 3: On Danny is our lack of awareness of what our

967
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:07,119
body can do for ourselves.

968
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,039
Speaker 2: Okay, so you breathing through your nose right now.

969
00:54:11,199 --> 00:54:16,039
Speaker 3: Your sinus cavities produce a particular kind of gas. It's

970
00:54:16,079 --> 00:54:22,079
called nitric oxide. Okay, we don't create nitric oxide by

971
00:54:22,119 --> 00:54:25,760
mouth breathing. We get it through nasal breathing. And nitric

972
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:33,239
oxide is a vasodilator. It helps with brain function, cardiac function,

973
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:41,000
your immune system, your recovery post workout, sexual function. Okay,

974
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:46,519
without tangenting too much, they gave nitric oxide to athletes

975
00:54:46,519 --> 00:54:50,639
to improve their performance and they had this unexpected sexual

976
00:54:50,679 --> 00:54:54,800
function performance. So viagra has a lot of nitric oxide

977
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,400
in it. But what I'm trying to say here is

978
00:54:57,480 --> 00:54:59,920
it's not a system you have in your body that

979
00:55:00,119 --> 00:55:06,199
isn't benefited from nitric oxide. So nasal breathing creates this

980
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:11,400
medicinal result. And you know, to drive the point home, Danny.

981
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:13,800
You know, I imagine if you went to a chemist

982
00:55:14,079 --> 00:55:16,840
and said, hey, I want something to help my brain

983
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:20,000
function better, to help my perform better at you know,

984
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:26,599
working out, sleep better, mood improve. How much do you

985
00:55:26,639 --> 00:55:27,920
think you'd pay for all the stuff.

986
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 1: They'd give you so much and they give you some

987
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:32,119
different things.

988
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:32,519
Speaker 2: Yeah.

989
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, because because we don't know, we can create this

990
00:55:36,039 --> 00:55:40,960
medicine ourselves. So Naise will breathe and creates this nitric oxide,

991
00:55:41,519 --> 00:55:46,079
and nitric oxide its uptake is increased by a two

992
00:55:46,119 --> 00:55:52,320
hundred percent when you hum. Oh okay, So you see

993
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:56,400
these you know, people meditating up m you know, they're

994
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:59,960
just tapping into their own nitric oxide, which then has

995
00:56:00,159 --> 00:56:04,800
this really potent effect on everything. So I'm gonna have

996
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,079
an invitation right now. We're going to do the same

997
00:56:07,119 --> 00:56:11,159
thing again, and we're just going to relax everything and

998
00:56:11,199 --> 00:56:15,199
then hum with your mouth closed for as long as.

999
00:56:15,039 --> 00:56:17,039
Speaker 1: Possible while you're holding your breath.

1000
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:20,280
Speaker 3: That will will when you we're going to breathe in,

1001
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,519
We're going to relax, and then as your breath comes out,

1002
00:56:24,639 --> 00:56:26,559
we're not going to go through our mouth.

1003
00:56:26,599 --> 00:56:32,119
Speaker 2: We're going to go for as long as possible through

1004
00:56:32,119 --> 00:56:34,719
our nose. Cool cool.

1005
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:37,760
Speaker 3: So with your power buttons ready, we're going to blow

1006
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:39,480
it out, shake it out, blow it out, shake it.

1007
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 2: Out, out out, out, out out, and then when you're ready,

1008
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,840
wrap it in. Hale, looking up through your nose.

1009
00:56:47,639 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 3: Open, open, open, regulate any tension, and then just relax

1010
00:56:52,079 --> 00:56:52,920
your head forward.

1011
00:56:53,159 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 2: Relax your head forward. I encourage you to put.

1012
00:56:55,559 --> 00:57:00,159
Speaker 3: Your hands on your belly and then just start humming

1013
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:12,239
long as possible, long as possible, and just let that

1014
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:16,280
energy wash through your system.

1015
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:26,559
Speaker 1: I feel lighter, like, just like I just feel later. Yeah,

1016
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:28,320
how else to explain that?

1017
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:36,159
Speaker 3: Well, what you're tapping into right now, it's often hard

1018
00:57:36,199 --> 00:57:42,559
to explain because you have to understand us as evolve

1019
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:48,119
human beings. Before we were speaking and thinking, we were breathing.

1020
00:57:49,239 --> 00:57:53,519
You're tapping into your deep ancient wiring, and that deep

1021
00:57:53,559 --> 00:57:59,199
ancient wiring out ranks your thinking mind. So this is

1022
00:57:59,239 --> 00:58:01,920
why when we happened to our breath has such a

1023
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:05,119
powerful effect and our thinking mind, and our thinking mind

1024
00:58:05,119 --> 00:58:09,000
doesn't want to give up its ownership. And so this

1025
00:58:09,039 --> 00:58:12,480
is why breath work often needs to be guided, because

1026
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:14,960
we'll kind of talk ourselves out of it.

1027
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:21,039
Speaker 2: That makes sense, and.

1028
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:28,719
Speaker 3: Giving yourself the ability to bring yourself back to center

1029
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:35,880
is really key. And everything I do, Danny, it has

1030
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:39,559
to be powerful and positive. But the third one is

1031
00:58:39,599 --> 00:58:46,719
most important permanent. My promise when I was coming out

1032
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:49,039
of the healing space, as if I was ever in

1033
00:58:49,079 --> 00:58:51,039
a position to help other people, I wanted to give

1034
00:58:51,039 --> 00:58:56,119
them permanent access to this power, right Yeah. And so

1035
00:58:57,079 --> 00:59:03,079
if that little power button that you have, I encourage

1036
00:59:03,119 --> 00:59:06,079
people to have that ready so when they go through

1037
00:59:06,119 --> 00:59:09,159
their day and someone something takes.

1038
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 2: Their focus away from their body. Like you know, I'm human.

1039
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,079
Speaker 3: Things annoy me, you know, whether it's you know, in

1040
00:59:15,119 --> 00:59:18,400
a queue or you know, in traffic. I have these

1041
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:24,320
little power buttons and I'll snort shake it and you know,

1042
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,519
discreetly in public. You know, because I noticed that if

1043
00:59:27,559 --> 00:59:30,599
I went through my day and things would happen and

1044
00:59:30,639 --> 00:59:32,920
I just sucked it up and I didn't, you know,

1045
00:59:33,079 --> 00:59:36,960
breathe through it, then I'd have to drink.

1046
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 2: Alcohol at the end of the day.

1047
00:59:38,719 --> 00:59:41,039
Speaker 3: I'd have to deal with it like that through through

1048
00:59:41,079 --> 00:59:44,480
an external source. And the economy is dysfunctioned. Loves it

1049
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:47,880
when I can't access my own resources, because it'll provide.

1050
00:59:47,519 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 2: It, you know.

1051
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 3: So I encourage people as you're walking around the place,

1052
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,920
get used to using your power buttons as I call them,

1053
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:58,960
you can, you can call them whatever you want. But

1054
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:02,679
but then when you're out in the real world and

1055
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:06,440
something bothers you, Oh there's somebody doing something that bothers me.

1056
01:00:07,159 --> 01:00:08,840
First thing I'm going to do is breathe. I'm going

1057
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:10,639
to get back to me. This is this is where

1058
01:00:10,639 --> 01:00:12,280
my power is. I'm not going to give my power

1059
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:19,840
away anymore. So that little exercise, you know, you could

1060
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,079
treat it like your medicine button, you know, or you know,

1061
01:00:22,119 --> 01:00:25,239
when you're in hospital, call the nurse button, whatever whatever

1062
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:29,519
has you log that as your first port of call

1063
01:00:30,239 --> 01:00:34,519
for being the person you're born to be. And I

1064
01:00:34,519 --> 01:00:37,320
don't think we were born to be continually off centered

1065
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:41,559
by things that continually, you know, cause a stress.

1066
01:00:42,599 --> 01:00:44,119
Speaker 1: No, I think they love to do that to us.

1067
01:00:44,199 --> 01:00:47,320
I think they like to cause us stress and put

1068
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:49,599
us off kilter. They don't want us working at our

1069
01:00:49,679 --> 01:00:53,639
highest capacity or a threat to them at that point.

1070
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:58,679
Speaker 3: Well, they're completely redundant at that point, yeah, and they'll

1071
01:00:58,719 --> 01:01:09,639
fight like hell to to maintain that dependency. And my

1072
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:18,239
vision is to ultimately imagine a metric of success of.

1073
01:01:18,159 --> 01:01:22,119
Speaker 2: A company or a government being the quality sleep of

1074
01:01:22,199 --> 01:01:23,199
the people they govern.

1075
01:01:26,199 --> 01:01:28,599
Speaker 3: Okay, Like that's no small thing because you can say, hey,

1076
01:01:28,599 --> 01:01:30,840
I'm doing a great job, I'm making roads, I'm making

1077
01:01:31,079 --> 01:01:34,599
you building factories. But are the people you govern sleeping

1078
01:01:34,639 --> 01:01:38,639
peacelly in their beds at night? I believe we earthen

1079
01:01:38,719 --> 01:01:43,480
that much. And that's a very measurable metric, you know. Yeah,

1080
01:01:43,519 --> 01:01:48,079
So ultimately that would be my vision to have to have,

1081
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,480
you know, sleep as a metric of success.

1082
01:01:52,679 --> 01:01:57,519
Speaker 1: I think that's reasonable. And it's like, it's so helpful

1083
01:01:58,239 --> 01:02:04,159
just sleeping, well, it restores everything in your body. Wow,

1084
01:02:07,159 --> 01:02:09,400
So Tim, where can everybody else find this? Obviously you

1085
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,000
and I did this here right now, and they're gonna

1086
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,039
listen to this, right, but like, where can they find you?

1087
01:02:16,239 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 2: Sure? Well?

1088
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:22,559
Speaker 3: Like I said, my promise was to create easy access

1089
01:02:22,599 --> 01:02:25,199
to this stuff, because when people are fatigued, they just

1090
01:02:25,239 --> 01:02:27,159
want to go, look, here's what I want to do

1091
01:02:27,239 --> 01:02:29,440
it for me. It's hard to take on a bunch

1092
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:32,360
of new stuff. So they're probably used to people saying, oh,

1093
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,639
sleep's important, but here's a thousand things you've got to

1094
01:02:35,719 --> 01:02:39,000
do before sleep. I realized that that just doesn't work,

1095
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,480
so I created a if anyone's got a phone and

1096
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:46,039
they download the breath Work in Bed app. They just

1097
01:02:46,079 --> 01:02:47,559
tell it when you want, when they want to sleep,

1098
01:02:47,599 --> 01:02:48,719
and we take care of the rest.

1099
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:49,920
Speaker 1: Oh perfect.

1100
01:02:50,679 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it just it just falls out of your phone.

1101
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:54,440
So it's made for people. Look, here's what I want.

1102
01:02:54,519 --> 01:02:55,039
Take care of it.

1103
01:02:55,079 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 2: For me.

1104
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:57,519
Speaker 3: It falls out of your phone. You tap the thing,

1105
01:02:57,920 --> 01:02:59,400
you know when you're going to sleep. And if I

1106
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:02,840
don't get it, I generally don't do something. And so

1107
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:06,000
those little reminders are just just absolute golden And that's

1108
01:03:06,039 --> 01:03:09,400
what we do. And if you if you're and the

1109
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:11,719
morning one is in there.

1110
01:03:11,599 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: As well, so that's amazing, thank you.

1111
01:03:15,639 --> 01:03:16,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, no worries at all.

1112
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 3: And I mean obviously, and I do have a twenty

1113
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:23,599
eight day free trial if people just want to trial

1114
01:03:23,639 --> 01:03:28,360
it and see if breath work works for them. But

1115
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:31,800
I can say this time and time again, I've seen

1116
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:36,679
it work. In fact, there was a guy who hadn't

1117
01:03:36,679 --> 01:03:38,599
I knew this guy, and he hadn't slept in.

1118
01:03:38,559 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 2: Over thirty eight years.

1119
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:43,199
Speaker 3: He had insomnia and he just thought it was normal.

1120
01:03:44,639 --> 01:03:47,480
I prescribed him some breath work and I checked in

1121
01:03:47,519 --> 01:03:53,239
eight days later and he says, Tim, the only time

1122
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,039
I woke up was when the dog barked.

1123
01:03:56,199 --> 01:03:59,719
Speaker 2: And this guy was in his in his late fifties.

1124
01:03:59,239 --> 01:04:04,679
Speaker 3: And now he is training to be a in the

1125
01:04:04,679 --> 01:04:07,599
world's fastest sixty plus triathlete.

1126
01:04:08,119 --> 01:04:08,559
Speaker 2: Wow.

1127
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:13,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, have you met somebody that it hasn't worked for?

1128
01:04:13,159 --> 01:04:15,599
Have you ever met somebody that, like, breathwork just doesn't work.

1129
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:17,639
Speaker 2: Well if.

1130
01:04:21,159 --> 01:04:26,039
Speaker 3: If people have not given themselves permission, like I didn't, like,

1131
01:04:26,119 --> 01:04:32,079
they're locked in that state. But usually when they're not

1132
01:04:32,079 --> 01:04:35,159
feeling alone anymore, there's people.

1133
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:35,719
Speaker 2: That they can trust.

1134
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 3: This ancient wiring usually outranks this and and I'm sure

1135
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:47,440
there's exceptions to every rule, but I would very comfortably

1136
01:04:47,519 --> 01:04:49,400
say eighty percent of people.

1137
01:04:49,599 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 2: And this is that's an understatement.

1138
01:04:51,559 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 3: I'm thinking if I was to give it a number,

1139
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:56,639
probably ninety plus percent. But if you say like ninety

1140
01:04:56,639 --> 01:04:59,039
plus percent, people go, well, you can't make me do something.

1141
01:04:59,039 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 2: There that automatic position.

1142
01:05:00,559 --> 01:05:03,679
Speaker 3: So this is why this is all an invitation, and

1143
01:05:03,719 --> 01:05:07,159
it's all about you giving yourself permission to experience what's

1144
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:08,039
inside of you.

1145
01:05:09,159 --> 01:05:12,119
Speaker 2: Actually, you know what. There was one person I remember now,

1146
01:05:12,159 --> 01:05:14,159
I was running this group and.

1147
01:05:16,039 --> 01:05:19,199
Speaker 3: And everybody loved it, but this one lady came up

1148
01:05:19,239 --> 01:05:25,480
and said I didn't get anything from that, but the

1149
01:05:25,559 --> 01:05:30,440
scale to which she went to impede herself was incredible.

1150
01:05:30,639 --> 01:05:33,159
She said, I felt my own pain, I felt everyone's

1151
01:05:33,239 --> 01:05:37,840
pain in the room. I then felt everyone's pain on

1152
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:40,880
the planet. You know, she really had to scale up

1153
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:46,119
how much the blockages she had to maintain to actually

1154
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,639
stop this coming through. And I'm like, well, that is

1155
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:54,920
rather incredible the level of blockage you had to maintain

1156
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:58,679
and how far you had to go for that. So yest,

1157
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:01,840
thanks for refreshing me to that. So yes, I would say,

1158
01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:03,599
you know, once I doesn't fit all, but that's why,

1159
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:05,400
you know, try for twenty eight days's not going to

1160
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:08,159
cost you anything. And in fact, the amount of times

1161
01:06:08,159 --> 01:06:10,719
that saved me at two am, when I've woken up

1162
01:06:11,119 --> 01:06:13,320
and my thoughts are doing those ones.

1163
01:06:13,679 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that that that.

1164
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 3: Has been you know, a real game change, it, you know,

1165
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:20,599
to me and everyone I know?

1166
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I mean yeah, even in like the little

1167
01:06:24,199 --> 01:06:27,519
couple exercises we did here, like wow, like I just

1168
01:06:27,559 --> 01:06:32,559
feel like I don't know, like different something, but I

1169
01:06:32,599 --> 01:06:34,599
have heard, like I told you before we started recording,

1170
01:06:34,639 --> 01:06:37,440
like every time I'm listening to like a biohackers, like

1171
01:06:37,519 --> 01:06:41,320
functional health medicine like or like even like physical fitness gurus, right, like,

1172
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:43,800
everybody's like, you have to sleep better, breath works like

1173
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:46,239
the easiest way to like hack your body. And I'm like, okay,

1174
01:06:46,239 --> 01:06:49,159
well everybody's saying it, like why are we not listening?

1175
01:06:50,039 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 3: Well, they're saying it that they're often not giving access

1176
01:06:54,199 --> 01:06:56,800
to people where they need it. Okay, because these people

1177
01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:59,440
they're up on the energetic super highway, right, Oh look

1178
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:02,559
at me, I'm all right, but someone who's actually been

1179
01:07:02,719 --> 01:07:05,079
in that place, they know how.

1180
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:07,519
Speaker 2: To create what I call an energetic on ramp. You've

1181
01:07:07,519 --> 01:07:08,719
got to meet them where they are.

1182
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:12,199
Speaker 3: So people down here go, yeah, this is what I want,

1183
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:15,440
take care of it for me. And the genius of

1184
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:18,559
what I do is it's very simple stuff, but it's accessible.

1185
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:20,400
It just it just falls out of your phone twice

1186
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:25,599
a day, boom boom, gun't And you know, most people,

1187
01:07:25,719 --> 01:07:27,079
it's like, oh, that felt good.

1188
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 2: More please? That felt good more please?

1189
01:07:29,519 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 3: And and then often it might take you know, a

1190
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,119
couple of weeks of really good night's sleep and then

1191
01:07:35,119 --> 01:07:37,440
they're like, oh wow, I actually I'm going to do

1192
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:40,519
an act of generosity to somebody else. And that's that's

1193
01:07:40,599 --> 01:07:44,360
encouraged within the space. Again, it's all an invitation, But

1194
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:50,159
to be able to have stewardship over your own body

1195
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:53,639
starts with knowing how amazing it is and what it

1196
01:07:53,679 --> 01:07:57,920
can do, and how and how your breath is. The

1197
01:07:58,679 --> 01:08:02,119
is the link between your peace and your productivity, your

1198
01:08:02,119 --> 01:08:03,360
peace and prosperity.

1199
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:07,159
Speaker 2: But it doesn't in my experience. It does need to

1200
01:08:07,199 --> 01:08:11,840
be guided because it's our oldest habit and if I

1201
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:12,639
didn't have.

1202
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 3: That guidance, it wouldn't be turned into that medicinal dose.

1203
01:08:21,159 --> 01:08:25,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense. Is there anywhere else everybody can

1204
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:26,159
find you?

1205
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 2: I'll link.

1206
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:30,039
Speaker 1: I'll love the app in the show notes as well,

1207
01:08:30,119 --> 01:08:31,800
But whatever else you want me to link.

1208
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:35,119
Speaker 3: Well, look, if you look up breath, I've got social

1209
01:08:36,039 --> 01:08:41,439
breath work in bed. It's all there because I have to.

1210
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:45,319
I think social media is just turning into social junk mail.

1211
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:48,319
I've got it because it's there, and there are a

1212
01:08:48,359 --> 01:08:51,000
few little healthy tips that I that I put in there.

1213
01:08:51,359 --> 01:08:54,239
But you know, if I could the exciting part for

1214
01:08:54,319 --> 01:08:56,960
me for people listening, and I acknowledge you for listening

1215
01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:03,800
and tuning in, you know, Danny and myself. The exciting

1216
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:09,039
thing is not just the sleep.

1217
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:11,439
Speaker 2: It's all the awesome things.

1218
01:09:11,159 --> 01:09:14,079
Speaker 3: That are inside of you that it will come out

1219
01:09:14,239 --> 01:09:23,239
naturally easily and effortlessly once we start getting that sleep improved,

1220
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:29,199
because those dormant seeds of uniqueness and greatness, they don't

1221
01:09:29,239 --> 01:09:32,399
flourish on their own. They need the right environment. And

1222
01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:34,920
I love seeing things come out of people. It's like

1223
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:37,600
seeing a color you've never seen before, like, oh wow,

1224
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:41,760
I never even knew that existed. So I can't do

1225
01:09:42,159 --> 01:09:44,840
what you do, Danny or your listeners, but I just

1226
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:47,880
have observed that if I can improve sleep quality, you know,

1227
01:09:48,359 --> 01:09:53,520
naturally immediately, then they bring their gifts into the world

1228
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:54,319
even better.

1229
01:09:55,880 --> 01:10:02,199
Speaker 1: Which everybody wants to see your gifts. I like exploring people,

1230
01:10:02,239 --> 01:10:04,439
like I'm very curious about people. I like to know

1231
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,159
more about people, So like, yeah, I want to see

1232
01:10:07,159 --> 01:10:12,760
your gifts, but I don't know people people I like them.

1233
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:16,560
So but until next week, my friends, stay skeptical and

1234
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:19,319
we will see you all then. Hey, friends. The rabbit
