Mind Corp”s full day boot camp was born out of necessity. When Kelly was a personal fitness trainer in Hollywood CA. He trained a lot of agents, executives and Hollywood stars including Chalize Theron, Andy Dick and Renee Russo to name a few. These agents and executives and their employees who sat at a desk all day long had the same tight overworked muscles. Kelly suggested stretch exercises to do. One agent said if it popped up on my computer I would do them. So the “Corporate Stretch” was born. Then as he became a Certified Clinical Master Hypnotherapist graduating from H.M.I. Hypnosis Motivation Institute, he had some of the same clients coming from theses offices with a new set of problems. They suffered from Stress, Anxiety, Overwhelm and Burn Out. So Kelly designed the “Corporate Quick Break” A 15min. Guided visualization to relieve their Stress, Anxiety, Overwhelm and Burn Out. Realizing these two problems are coming from the same offices he designed the Mind Corp's Full Day Boot Camp. A complete rebalance of mind and body for amazing success and results!

297 Change, Growth, and Hope - How The Belief Others Have In Us Can Move Us   Change is an inevitable part of life, how you choose to handle that change is what defines us as people. Will you crumble and erode like an immovable boulder, or will you bend and grow like a sapling waiting for it's time to reach the sky? We never know what we are capable of until we are put to the test, even though sometimes others see our potential better than we ever could.  In this episode Sarah Elkins reconnects with her friend Amy Oviatt, they discuss these points as well as how our beliefs are shaped by our experiences and how others view us.   Highlights Find friends who will lift you up. There are deep truths that we do not see in ourselves until years later. People who believe you are destined for great things aren't wrong, sometimes the greatness is just delayed.  You will be surprised what you are capable of. How will you take feedback when you receive it?   Quotes “I would certainly hope that I'm a person who creates safety for other people, because we all need that and we all want that.” “The upside of that part of me is that I really figure it out. It may take me a while but I'm not somebody who ever just buries things and moves along, I must figure out the answer.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What will you do in the next week to uncover something that maybe is blocking you from what you want to do? What will you do, will you take a step tomorrow, will you take a step the next day to make a choice to live the life you want to live? What book will you read and take action on? Maybe you'll hire somebody, maybe you'll be a coach, maybe it'll be a fitness instructor or a life coach, maybe it'll be a hypnotherapist. But what will you go into with big wide open arms and open eyes and open heart to make a change to improve whatever is going on in your life. And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Amy Colorado native Amy Oviatt graduated with honors from the Hypnosis Motivation Institute, the only accredited college of Hypnotherapy. She holds a degree in Business from CU - Boulder, and has a wide variety of experience in her toolbelt.    On her own spiritual and healing journey, Amy has found inspiration in the works of Caroline Myss, Gary Zukav, Brian Weiss, amongst others.    Hypnotherapy, including Life Coaching, Therapeutic Imagery, and other healing modalities, is a powerful vehicle to move clients forward in achieving the healthy and fulfilling life they seek. Amy helps her clients release limiting beliefs, replace unwanted habits, and align the subconscious with their most important goals, resulting in improved relationships, greater success, and more peace on their own life's journey.  Check out Amy's Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram! As well as her website Guided Journeys! About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.

He also graduated from the Medical Training College of Baton Rouge and is a Licensed Massage Therapist. De'Vannon's story is one of surviving the social outskirts and finding one's way back to a balanced path. A Little Bit More About De'Vannon: My name is De'Vannon Hubert and I'm from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Discovering my sexuality while growing up as a Christian in the South wasn't easy, but I didn't get into any real trouble until my own church told me I wasn't welcome in God's house, in my twenties. Dejected, I spiraled into drug addiction and crime, and my drug of choice was crystal meth. After years of living life to the extreme with the craziest drugs and wildest sex I could imagine, my HIV+ diagnosis only told me one thing: Go out with a bang because your life is almost over. Today, my life is a very different story and much has changed. I'm not homeless, I don't think my life is ending any time soon, and I have an evolving perspective of what it means to live a balanced and spiritual life. I make it a point to have people in my life who many would say live on the "social outskirts" and who embrace ideas and practices society believes to be "taboo" because these are my people and we have so much in common. I have a dirty, sexual, VERY open mind and yet maintain a strong connection with Jesus Christ. I feel called to tell my story and connect with others to help them find a greater understanding of themselves and a path to spirituality as well Link: https://www.sexdrugsandjesus.com/ Support PEG by checking out our Sponsors: Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.

This is a very from-the-heart episode and a perfect way to start 2023.  My preamble is a bit longer...but I felt it was an important story to tell before this  episode which I'm sure will be helpful to many.We all have limiting beliefs.  We all have hidden nooks within our subconscious mind that may hold us back in life.  How do you reach those hidden nooks?  One way maybe to see a professional like Fae Anaya, C.Ht.  I met Fae in person in Sedona, AZ last August 2022.Fae Anaya is Certified Hypnotherapist, Energetic Healing Practitioner and Teacher and an Intuitive Channel.  I call her my "spiritual hypnotist".   Fae holds a diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy through the Hypnosis Motivation Institute's residency program (750 hrs) and is attuned to the Usui Reiki Master frequency.Always one to explore the depths and heights of conscious awareness, Fae enjoys merging her psychic abilities with her working knowledge of the mechanics of the mind to get to the root of whatever question, hindrance, or blockage you may be dealing with. It's then through acceptance that anything can be worked through and then released, reprogrammed, or transformed.Fae's ultimate goal is to guide you into living an inspired life; a life lived on purpose and with passion to the fullest potential.Fae sees clients in person in her Sedona, AZ office. For those unable to travel to Sedona, appointments are also available via Zoom or telephone call.  You can get in touch with her here:  https://www.youexpanded.com/.Be sure to rate, review & share this episode with someone who may benefit.

And yes, we can put sex and drugs and Jesus all in the same bed and still be all right at the end of the day. My name is De'Vannon and I'll be interviewing guests from every corner of this world as we dig into topics that are too risqué for the morning show, as we strive to help you understand what's really going on in your life.There is nothing off the table and we've got a lot to talk about. So let's dive right into this episode.De'Vannon: Hello everyone and welcome to the Final sex Drugs in Jesus episode of 2022 , I'm so happy to have you here and I appreciate you listening all year long. Heaven's blessings reign down upon you in massive abundance. For the support that you have shown this show. So as we get ready to close out this year, I thought I would end it.You're sharing, you're sharing some shit with you from off of my heart. I [00:01:00] love how I can use this show to heal both myself and other people. I hope I say something that's meaningful to you. Hope I say something that changes your life. I hope I say something that helps you to go a little higher.Now in this show, I'm gonna dive a little deeper into the problems I have with the modern day preacher. And about this choir orgy that happened that one time at that one Pentecostal church back in California. . Stay tuned. Enjoy the show and have a happy fucking new year.Hello, all my beautiful, delicious people out there and welcome back to the Sex Drugs in Jesus podcast. This is your final show that I'm giving you for this year, right here in 2022. Before we roll on over in the 2023, hopefully, God willing I've been toiling about what was gonna be the final show for the year, you know, and I didn't wanna do another one of those.[00:02:00]Hey, next year's gonna be great sort of messages and everything like that because we hear those all the time. And so I was, I. , I like to use my show as a, as a cathartic tool for myself. It helps me heal to talk about things that bother me. And I know that the things that bother me bother you too because of the way some of you have reached out to me and have shared with me the problems that are going on in your life.And so one of the biggest problems that have ever plagued me in my life has been the church dealing with preachers and stuff like that. And so I wanted to take a moment and, and just give my take on, on preachers specifically. I've talked a lot about churches and religion and stuff like that. That's a free book that I just released on my website called Don't Call Me a Christian, what is his Word even mean?And you can go to my website, download it, [00:03:00] and go to several different bookstores and get it here for free, as well as all at Sex Drugs and jesus.com. And so, I wanted to start with the scripture in Jeremiah 23 that I've never heard a preacher preach before in church because this scripture preaches against preachers.And how much of the Bible is littered with God? Not, not just striving with sinners, but striving specifically with the priesthood, but the kings of Israel and with people who are under positions of authority, you know, who really killed Jesus and responsible for his crucifixion church folks. And there's no sense for us to be so naive as to think that, you know, just because we have the Bible to read the mistakes that preachers and priests and kings of the past have made that churches are not going to turn around and do those same things today because they're totally, absolutely doing the same things today, or as they say, history as a way of repeating itself.So in Jeremiah 23, [00:04:00] There's four scriptures that I'm gonna read. So four verses I'm gonna read. So please bear with me. It just says, woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pastor, says the Lord. And therefore, thus says the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people.You have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not visited them. Behold, I will visit upon you. The evil of your doings says the Lord. And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries, whether I have driven them and will bring them again to their foes. And they shall be fruitful and increase.And I will set up shepherds over them, which shall feed them and they shall fear no more nor be dismay. Neither shall they be lacking, says the Lord. So what is this scripture saying here? This scripture is coming for pastors, preachers, priests, whatever you want to call them, thought leaders, whatever. [00:05:00] Who, who do damage to the congregation, who do damage to people who listen to them.And then they don't go back intend to the damage that they have done. Instead they just press forward with more book deals, with more church services, with more arena tours, you know, and everything like that. And soI was flipping around social media the other day and I saw where Tyler Perry was speaking at Lakewood Church. Okay. So I was like, okay, I didn't know when he became a preacher. But I guess, you know, the way churches are these days in times you're famous enough, or if you have a large enough platform or people to you and you can get onto churches you know, platform and speak to people.Maybe he is a minister, I don't know. But, but what pissed me off was what he was saying. And I think it was like, as he was closing his message, he was saying, [00:06:00] the thing that I've heard so many people say in so many churches from coast to coast and around the world, Christian churches now about how if you're out, if you're growing in life and you're prospering and stuff like that, there's gonna come a time according to them, I don't agree with this at all, that you're gonna have to outgrow the people around you and don't be afraid to let them go and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and so on and so forth.And thunderous applause erupted. And, and the comments, you know, on, on the social media, like, yes, of course. Oh my God, that was the word I needed. Same shit that they always say you know, in these churches. It, it's, it's so, it's so expected. It's so . It is just, it's just, this is just what's gonna happen because church people are so damn, you know, programmed and so,What I don't like about it is I don't feel like that we should be rejoicing over leaving somebody behind. You know, if this person was a friend of ours, [00:07:00] at some point, you know, these preachers are not even saying, you know, leave them behind because they hurt you, try to destroy you. That's different.They're saying is, you used to be on the same level, I guess now you've gotten some promotion at work or whatever the fuck, you feel like you're now elevated and this person is now beneath you. If anything, if there must be some sort of disconnect because you feel like somebody's holding you back or whatever, I think that that's a sad thing because y'all started off great and now you're losing a friend.I don't, I don't get what the clapping and the thunder is of parole is for that. That's something that shouldn't be done, regrettably, if it has to, but with, but with sorrow. Not with joy. But what does this do? It feeds on the narcissism that prevails within the church body. There's this thinking of you know, I have to improve, but only if somebody else's, if only if somebody [00:08:00] else's diminishes.So I'm like, so like, why can't it just be like my growth and not my growth relative to somebody else's lack of growth? You know, when I was, when I used to go to churches, they would take this so far and they would say like, you know, if somebody is, you know, not speaking positive or not being good, or whatever, Christian enough, you don't want them to hold you back from your blessings.So they would tell us not to let them ride in our cars, don't speak to the people and do all of these things that Jeremiah 23 is saying not to do. You know, the, the Lord always said to go back and find the one lost sheep. Not, not to, to, to discard of them and just move on. This whole idea, we're just gonna move on and leave certain people behind so we can go forward in life.Is it, it just rubs me the wrong way. And I hated seeing Tyler Perry at Lakewood Church of all [00:09:00] places, you know, the largest church platform in the country when the big is in the world next to Hillsong Church, and their Hillsong is caught up in their own scandal right now. Brian Houston is currently going through trial right now for his daddy molested them boys and they didn't tell anybody.You can find out more about that at, at the Leaving Hillsong podcast. Tonya Tonya Levine is covering that over in Australia as we speak. You know, like why, you know, why is, why is, why is this same message still being preached? And I, you know, I, and I really fell out with Tyler Perry anyway because, you know, I was researching him and, you know, and I found where, you know, he does not accept mail from people.No fan mail, no nothing. Like, so either he only wants to be contacted electronically or not at all. But the people I physically talked to on the phone, you know, verifying this, they, they really sounded more like gatekeepers that were just like trying to block anybody from reaching Tyler Perry. And I [00:10:00] thought, you know, this isn't the same tone that he had back when he was trying to come up and was wondering if anyone would come to any of his shows.You know, now he's come to a point that he's not even interested in getting a letter from a fan. , but this makes sense, you know, with how Lakewood Church is and how Tyler Perry is now very dismissive, you know, of people who they feel like are beneath them. You know, the same thing happened to me when I was there at Lakewood and I got kicked out for not being straight.But this mentality, you know, you know, and that's that same mentality that prevails. They'll leave you behind in a minute. And, and I, I really think that there is an overemphasis here on the impact that somebody else can have on our destiny, you know, just by us hanging around them. You know, your purpose is your, your purpose in life, and there's nothing anybody can do to take that from you.What God has for you is for you. It's a shame that, that the body of [00:11:00] Christ, that these church people are so damn fragile, are so damn made out of thin ass paper. It, you know, such, such, such thin veneer that they think that just merely hanging around a person is gonna cripple them so much so that they're gonna completely miss their whole purpose for existence.Again, this is not the same as somebody's actively working against you. What these preachers are saying is just don't even be around somebody who's not, I guess as you're, as you might examine them to be on your level, whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean. And so, and my whole thing is this, even if you are being elevated to another level, that means you're going somewhere you've never been before.That means that you're going to hang around people you've never hung around before. So you currently are not on the those people's level where you're headed anyway, and they're being open-minded and humble enough to accept you. Okay. They are not treating you the way you're treating your ex-friend by [00:12:00] saying, bye, you basic bitch, I can't fucks with you no more because I'm better now and you not on my level.So I'm gonna leave you behind because I have to grow. That's all I'm gonna say about this. That's part of this. It just really pisses me off the way churches, when these preachers get on this whole, you know, we're all gonna move forward, but we're gonna leave people behind, you know, you know, if they, if they no longer serve our purposes or we deem them as heretics or whatever the case may be,you know, and just for references, I continue down this, this path I'm on. Just remember, you know, the gospels, you know, are littered. You know, with, with, with church people striving with Jesus, Jesus didn't really have to fight, you know, with what's considered the Gentiles, people who are not people, not really like, who are not really like, hanging around godly things all the time.I don't know why, but this, this, the war really comes from within the church though. The, the book of Malachi, you know, the first couple of [00:13:00] chapters of that is all about God struggling with priest, not struggling with sinners, you know, struggling with priest, you know, the leaders of the church. There is so much in the Bible about that, but this does not get preached.Why? Because it doesn't serve the churches agenda. You know? It's difficult for a preacher to preach these sort of scriptures, like what I'm talking about today, and not include themselves in it, because that would be obviously, , you know, to be like, I see God here in Jeremiah 23 is talking about these trifling ass preachers.But that's not me though. Well, that's not for them to decide. . So , you know, and everybody has a super high opinion of themselves. Most people assess themselves really, really great at the beginning of the book of Revelation when John is sending out the letters to the seven angels of the churches. You know, God is judging these churches and getting entering into judgment with them, and he's assessing them and letting them know, y'all are not really as cute as you think you are.you know, you're not as far along in your spiritual growth. As you might like to, [00:14:00] to, to say that you are. And so he's giving 'em a gut check moment, a performance evaluation, if you will, and letting them know you're doing all of these things, but you're not as glistening as you think. And look, God's judgment is the only judgment that matters.It doesn't matter what our friends say about us, our lovers, our family, our our preachers. None of that unless say, preachers truly has a divine word or something like that, which preachers these days don't. When they prophesy, all they're doing is speaking positive things over you. There's nothing more than positive manifestation that is not the same as true prophecy.True prophecy is past, present, and future. Not just good things are going to happen, you know, great things are going to happen. You know, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know, what they say is so general. I grew up with true prophecy in my life and things like that where people can tell you what's gonna happen, when it's gonna happen, how it's gonna happen.They can tell you what happened in the past and you, you know, you know, my dreams come to me the same [00:15:00] way. You know, when, when the spirit reveals to me things about people that they have done or doing or are going to do, and I go and talk to them about what the Lord is trying to, to deliver them and to heal them.That's true prophecy, not the spoken positivity that that prevails in churches today. I mentioned the Leaving Heal Song podcast. I wanna give a shout out to the Preachers and Sneakers Instagram page because that that guy preachers and sneakers tracks celebrities and how they buy all this expensive shit and all these expensive clothes and stuff like that, and how.that really, really turned a lot of people off from following Christ. You know, it's up to you to make your decision on that. But I think it's a very, very interesting way that he's followed that. And then he even wrote a book called Preachers and Sneakers too, I believe it is. And so I mentioned earlier about how I didn't, how, I don't like how these, these, these, these preachers, they just [00:16:00] discard people, move on, keep selling out, you know, selling their books and stuff like that.You know, that's how I feel when I got kicked outta Liquid Church. I talk about this all the time because it's one of the biggest, you know, scars that I yet bear. It's one of the greatest traumas that ever happened to me in my life. And it's something that still affects me to this day. Though I am getting better every day.You know, every day I'm a little less bitter. You know, as I clear this out, what really helps me is being able to talk to people like you who are willing to listen to my show and everything like that. And I, and I love you cuz it heals me so much. And I pray that you be healed too. , you know, to, to have served that church for so long and so dedicatedly, you know, being on time most days of the week, showing up early, staying late, you know, you know, to be kicked out because I'm not straight, won't say discovered on my MySpace page, you know, and then, you know, nobody called me from that church, you know, all those years of serving and volunteering, [00:17:00] you throw me out and nobody called to see how I'm doing.What did they do? They just kept on moving forward, kept on having church services and, and then they told me I wasn't the only volunteer that they kicked out. They said they do this all the time, . So it was just common to them. And so, so speaking of like these arena tours, so what I mean, and so you would have like, say Joel and Victoria, Joyce Meyer Ministries, Hillsong, whoever, you know, would go and do just like a, a Beyonce or somebody would do and go s.Goes to Madison Square Garden or whatever, Verizon Wireless Center or wherever, and and do like a concert, you know, it's, it's the same sort of mentality. You know, they don't, I think, I think Joel and Victoria would charge people, like, I wanna say, let me like $10 to go and know, so, which made it look like it was to cover the cost.But [00:18:00] the thing that I want people to consider is what is the monetary benefit outside of ticket sales? So if I'm a celebrity and I'm making music, I gotta go out and tour to promote my product. To promote whatever cha uh, streaming channels I might be on, or whatever else I might be doing. So these churches are not just going to spread the gospel, they're also going to sell their books to sell the music they've produced and created, you know, to also get people more engaged in their church to, to ultimately gen gen, generate more revenue for the church.Do what you want with this. I'm just trying to get you to consider the other implications. It's not just the word of God coming to your town. These people are coming to your town to get money from you too, you know, and to, and, and to boost their bottom line. And it just, it looks so much like the world, the way that they conduct their business and stuff like that.And it's so [00:19:00] hypocritical of them because, you know, they're like, don't be like the world. You can't, they don't want you to smoke and drink and fuck and, you know, do anything and masturbate and you know, in heaven forbid you're not straight, but. Then when it comes time to money, when it comes time to the money, then the, then these churches look just like the world.They, they cannot chart their own path. They go and say, let's do it . They literally gonna say, let's do it the same way these other people did it so that we could get money like they did and so and so. Like. I just can't, even with that, speaking of Joel and Victoria and, and again I talk about Joel and Victoria and Lakewood church cuz that's the church that I was at, you know, I was not at some other church otherwise I would talk about that church.It just happens to be the lord of church in the country and one of the most prolific churches in the world just happens to be that. And so they were going to New [00:20:00] York to do what they call a night of worship, I think, or whatever the fuck they call their shit when they go out. And I was in the choir, the adult choir at this time.and they wanted the choir to fly with them to New York. Okay? You would think that a church that size with all the millionaires running around there with all that money and the church being a volunteer unit, that they would have paid for the choir to go. Not so honey. Not so for those of us who would've gone, we would've had to pay our own way for the privilege, okay?Of singing background in Joel and Victoria, and oh my God, what a hot mess that ensued in the choir. It was chaos. You know, fighting over who's gonna go, who's not gonna go. Room assignments, you know? You know all of this here. And I'm all like, but bitch, [00:21:00] I'm working for you for free.Your staff members, you're gonna pay to go. Oh. So I suppose my reward is gonna be in heaven. or it'll just come back to me some type of way. Eventually, I thought that that was very, like, low, you know, of the ministry to, to want the choir to be there because people are very, very entrance by the choir. The choir's fucking awesome.okay. Very organized and musically, you know, and everything like that. And people show up a lot of times for the music to these events in the church and more so than anything. And it's, it's, it's, no, it's no misstep or mistake as to why they wanted the choir, I think for their first time in New York, and I think they were at Madison Square Garden or some large place like that.But I'm like, why the fuck would I pay you to go volunteer to help booster your image that you're gonna make all kinds of [00:22:00] crazy money off of this? Then I'm gonna be in a deficit because it's what, it's the right thing to do. I just thought that it was really fucked up. Know what I'm talking about? Fucked up shit in the choir.you know, they would get on us for like, say if a fr like, I remember one time a friend of mine had on like the full choir suit and everything, like we're supposed to have, but his shoes were like, I don't know, Chuck Taylor's a, you know, some cool ass vans or some shit like that. And, and one of these stubby ass, little Sopranos was like trying to tell him he can't sing that Sunday, you know, and stuff like that.We're all like, bitch, nobody can say our feet. Nobody can say Our feet not on the cameras, not anywhere in the church. No one can see what the fuck kind of shoes we have on now. Now this dude was also queer, so I don't know if she just had a problem with the gaze or what, but there's definitely that sort of mentality of anti queerness that prevails in [00:23:00] churches.And so I've said this a million times and I'll say it, a billion queer, F queer folk. Queer folk, queer folk, queer folk, stop going to these churches that are not affirming. If you insist upon going to church and get you one that is totally okay with who you are, that way you don't have to deal with this low-key discrimination that shows up in ways like this.But I just thought that was so tacky, you know, of the choir to be like attacking people who are sh again, showing up to work for fucking free. We're showing up to work for free and you worrying about what Chinese shoes we have on which no one can see, but your petty evil hate fla soprano choir bitch.And you know who you are. And I just think about sometimes, like all the jobs that I used to have, I work for myself now because I can't, I don't have the patience to deal with people's bullshit. And so, especially for the low pay that they try to, to low ball you with, I'll go to work for somebody one day if it's for like a million dollar contract apps to fucking literally.But see, at [00:24:00] that level, you're not gonna have. Fuck. I would hope as much like pettiness like that, you're gonna have pettiness everywhere you go, but at least not nitpickiness because everybody is well paid and everyone's happy. But all the little jobs I've had along the way, they would just, you know, fire somebody over an outfit, a, a, a uniform, you know, petty shit like this.One thing I'm thankful for about the coronavirus is that it pulled the teeth out of these petty assed employers and now they can't find anybody to go to work. You know, they deserve that for being so goddamn mean and dismissive of people over the years, over stuff that was completely un jobb related when I was homeless and going from like house to house, being in these trap houses, you know, walking in there, there's all kind of people just scattered about an abandoned house laying on the floor or some drug dealer house, some or some meth cooks home or something like that.I never saw people get judged for like the shoes they were wearing, the [00:25:00] clothes, you know. , yeah. But what we were, what we were doing was totally illegal and stuff like that. And we never pretended like it wasn't, you know, there're more, there's more realness in a, in a dope house than there is in the church, but I, but I, I've seen more acceptance in a trap house than I've ever found in a church or in any sort of like, public, you know, setting like work or something like that.And I don't know, that just really, really rubs me some type of way, you know? And we're sitting here in this choir fighting over who's gonna get to go to New York and everything and sing, you know, behind Joel and stuff like that. And the last time I was at that church, I went there a couple of shit, like last year, no fi a couple of years ago, whatever.And we were filming that, the docuseries that's on my website. And, and when I walked in there, they had changed the carpet and, which was fine, but what pissed me off was that I looked up and I saw these, this [00:26:00] huge like mural. This, this larger than life picture of like Joel and Victoria and their children, and then slightly smaller pictures of like the worship leaders and stuff like that.And I'm like, Hmm, okay. So, so we've gone from like a golden calf back in the Old Testament to like these murals at Lakewood Church, these monolithic golden idols, basically in the form of Joe Victorian, their kids and the worship leaders who, who you now get to look up at every time you walk through the halls of Lakewood.And this is a golden calf idol tree of our day. Now let me step into my hypnotist mindset here, you know, cause I'm also a licensed hypnotist. Hypnosis. Hypnosis Motivation Institute is a wonderful school. Highly recommended now every time. You look up at somebody on stage, there's something that happens and your subconscious that makes you believe that that person is higher than you, better than you, knows [00:27:00] more than you, that's further along than you.And it's something that makes you all, all automatically wanna listen to them and hear what they have to say. It's something about that that makes you feel this big, very tiny while they, while you view them as this big larger than you, because they're on stage and the cameras are on them. Now, you already have this happening because Joe Victoria, their worship leaders are on stage weekly and on camera all the time, not just Lakewood Church.Many churches across the country, you know, are like this and across the world are like this. But on top of this, you now gonna put big ass pictures of yourself,all over the, you know, the inside of the church. Like, you know, to reinforce. What, what you're already doing. You're reminding the people whose fucking house it is, it's not theirs. And look, y'all making a mistake. No matter how much these churches tell you, they [00:28:00] couldn't make it without you and they need you, and they wouldn't be the same.You know, they are lying at least on an individual basis. What they mean is conglomerate. Yes, they need multiple people to continue to fund them so they can keep on living the lifestyle that they wanna live. But individually, no. As soon as you no longer serve their purposes, or you might tarnish their reputation, they will get rid of you.So, so don't let their, their, their glittery, glittery golden words make you feel like you're so special to them. You're not , you're just not. And soand so I'm like, if you just had to paint a picture, You know, in these walls, couldn't you have done like some sort of interpretation of the spirit or of angels or of the people you help of missions work? Why the fuck do you need to show us Joel and Victoria and their children and your worship leaders when they're on TV in front of people [00:29:00] all the time anyway.Like, I just felt like you could have come up with something else. I think it's vain and I, and I judge them for it, and don't even get me started on like, Joel's this, this relationship he has with Kanye West. You know, I'm just gonna take time to say right here, right now, we've seen Kanye , I can't even believe I'm saying his name on my show.What, what a tragic human mean that, I mean that with to so much just like pity, you know, to be that, that low, you know, , I'm like, so let me get this straight. I can't stay at Lakewood because I hang out in Montrose in the gay district and I'm not, Straight, even though I show up to work and I don't bring my gayness to, to church, but you invite Kanye West to be on stage with you because he what exemplifies the epitome of Christianity and everything, like what church stands for.[00:30:00]So no to the van in, yes to Kanye. I'm just gonna leave that there. The next thing on my list, , is oh, Jesus Christ. That's something about money. Again, it's not more money. And the way, and I look, I used to let myself be deceived by these churches too. They'd be like, give us your tides, give us your money, and good things.Again, that, that, those vague promises, good things will happen to you one day. Like, if they don't happen, then it's because you didn't believe or it's because you didn't have enough faith. It's never the church's fault. It's never the preacher's fault. It remind me of casinos. It's like they always keep like a dangling carrot in front of you.It's always gonna be the next hit. The next hit, the next hit the next time you put that card down, the next time you pull a a slider mash, mashed a button on the fucking, the colorful ass machines in there. [00:31:00] But one thing I, two things. One thing that casinos have in common with churches is that the house is always going to win.The house will absolutely always win. Those, those casinos have guaranteed income churches because of all of their people coming there always have guaranteed income. So, so they gonna promise to pray for you for possible money tomorrow while they're asking you for guaranteed cash today. , these people remind me of hustlers.You and I've dealt with a lot of hustlers, you know, and shit. When I was, you know, a drug dealer and I was in the game, you know, and a hustler is always gonna be sure that they're watching the numbers and the value of things and make sure they come out ahead. They going to trickle you a little bit every now and then say nice words to you to make you feel good.But if you run the numbers that, that, that hustler is always gonna make this much a whole hell of a lot. And you always gonna be down [00:32:00] here, but you gonna have good feelings though. A hustler has a way of making you feel like the, it's very special to even be in his presence. And that's really the greatest gift.I'm talking about street hustlers now. And this was, this was not something I could really see when I was still in the game or when I was still at church, but now that I've stepped away from both of them, I can, I can draw the curtain back and see both of them for what they really are in these disturbingly eerie parallels between like a street hustler and a pastor, you know, or a street hustler and the whole game and the church itself.I'm like, honey, there ain't much difference. There ain't much difference. What the hell do you really have to show for like the money that you have given to these churches over the years? They try to say Any blessing that [00:33:00] comes into your life is gonna be because of money you've given to the church. No, that's not true.But if, if they're gonna play on your fear, then they're gonna say, if you don't give us money, then bad things are gonna happen to you. A lot of churches say this completely not biblical, because in the book of Acts it says that, you know, people don't have to do anything. Except for basically not put any other God before God.You know, God is, it's not about idolatry. Are you idolizing anything? And tho that was the only thing, there was this whole big argument about like exactly what people who are not, you know, of, of the bloodline of Abraham supposed to do and not supposed to do was a whole falling out. And when they came out of the meeting, they were like, okay, these are the things, and none of it had to do with money.Tithing, you know, drugs, sex, music, you know, none of these things at all. And so basically you can give the money to your church if you want to, but ain't nothing bad gonna [00:34:00] happen to you if you don't. And so some people give, give their ties or money to nonprofit organizations that are non-religious and stuff like that because they just refuse to give their money to the organizations that discard of certain people.Keep certain people, you know, I'm reminded right now of a, a nonprofit called Compassion Art. They've since changed the verbiage on their website, but years ago, and this, this, they, this is an organization that'll, you write letters to kids in third world countries and then over time you might have a chance to go visit them and stuff like that.People just living really fucked up lives and ain't got shit. And they had on their like, if you're homosexual, we don't want you to volunteer with this program. We don't. We just don't. And I was all like, I think if you ask that kid in a third world country who's like drinking water outta landfills and walking around barefoot, if he gives a damn that the person helping him is gay or not, I don't really think that [00:35:00] kid gives a fuck, a flying fuck where his help is coming from.As long as he gets some goddamn help up in this bitch, . Okay, , fucking Americans, fucking Christians have confused and thrown so much complications. Into what is supposed to be. A simple approach to God is made open to us by Jesus Christ because of people's hate and prejudice. As my good friend John Vanier, who is the host of the Cult of Christianity podcast, and the author of the book named the Same says, every man before Jesus Christ added rules.Jesus came and simplified everything down in the two things. Love the Lord and love your neighbors yourself, and put nothing before God. And then every man after Jesus Christ went back and added more shit, more shit to it. You know, every time humans get their hands on shit, it just becomes unnecessarily complicated,[00:36:00]you know? There, there, there, there's there. There's three things in life that I'm glad I'm. A police officer, which I almost became a preacher at a church, which I almost became an A politician, which I never fucking thought about being, you know, what is it about these three things? I think that the three of them are pure calling at the onset, and they are really designed to help better society, but the three of them are so full of corruption in all, in all three of them.You have people making way more money than what the position actually pays. Does it matter if it's a p, a Democrat, capital D, Democrat, Republican, you know, both sides of the aisle. You know, police officers taking bribes, politicians taking briars. [00:37:00] Church is just, well, there's mindf fucking people, you know?And because it's, because it's easy for churches to do that. You know, like a hustler. That's one thing I forgot to say. A hustler. The first thing a hustler does if you meet one on the street is they're gonna assess your mental strength. Hustlers are really fucking good at reading people. I mean, it's like some sort of gift they have.They can size you up like that, and they're only gonna deal with people who they know are weak-minded enough to go along with their gangs. Other than that, they're moving right on. They're not gonna do that. And churches are no different. They look for the weakest people to pray on. And church people are very, very, very easily manipulated.I used to be one of those people.And so in all of these three positions, getting back to the point, you know, a police officer, a preacher, a politician, it's basically like these are such highly respected positions of society. , but these people are basically still criminals. They don't have a [00:38:00] checks and balance. They have a lot of money and a lot of power over people.And I think it's that power over people and that money is why a lot of them start out with the good intentions. But that stuff goes to your head and, and I think it's a slow corruption over time in many cases as we, you know, as they begin to justify their compromises and their negotiations with the truth.Because all three of these people have a very, very negotiable relationship with the truth. I think that we can agree on that. It's the same goes power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Okay. Or, or, or is our friend miss Sheri with the Real Housewives of Atlanta would say, you know, who gonna check me Boo?Who in the hell? You know, we're starting to get, you know, a check on police starting, but who in the hell really checks politicians? Look at all the shit that has happened in the last year or two. [00:39:00]In politics, it's so hard for a politician to actually get in trouble for doing anything. And preachers, you know, which is the episode of my conversation, that they have no checks and balances.They surround themselves with yes. Men who support their narcissism. And preachers are highly narcissistic people. It's very difficult to get one of them to say they're sorry they're anything like that. I'll give a shout out to my good friend Barry Bowen over at the Trinity Foundation in, in Texas, and they investigate all kinds of nonprofits and stuff like that.And and churches are not exempt from their investigations and they dig up all kinds of shit all the time. All of these preachers. So check out Barry Bowen, you know, on Twitter or Trinity, Trinity Foundation's website for that. I did a couple, several interviews with him too, you know, and like my evangelist Nelson, you know, my spiritual mentor would tell me someone who, who, who is a true prophet.You know, preachers just like the kings of [00:40:00] Israel are gonna be really, really strong or really, really weak. There isn't an InBetween. You know, when you're reading the Old Testament and Israels going from king to king, a judge to judge, it's like the way it'll start out. It's like such and. Died and now this new person is the king and this person was either righteous or wicked, and it was like either or.There was never an in between. The righteous people elevated Israel to good times. The wicked people brought 'em down. There was never anybody that I could remember who was like kind of, sort of both. You know, when I don't, I don't know why this is, but when you're in a high leadership, spiritual leadership position, you're either really strong or really weak.And the thing is you don't know when your preacher transitions from being strong to weak. You don't know that. You know, I look at, I look at Paula White's crazy ass, you know, standing besides Donald Trump praying and trying to prophesy and saying he's gonna stay in power and making no poems about asking [00:41:00] somebody to send her a hundred thousand dollars.I'm like, but I've seen her live before, back in the day when I go, when I went, when I used to go to churches that dealt with all of that. You know, speakers and shit like that. And I'm like, you know, at what point did you go from being somebody who's anointed and called to a Trump supporter who's just trying to get another hundred thousand dollars to somebody because you asked for it.You know, you know where, you know, where, where, when did the change come? You, you, it's difficult to see if you're setting up under these people all the time. So see, sometimes we have to get away from the influence of something that you discern and separate our own mind, our own mentality, and thinking from as it relates to whatever it is that we've been under the influence of.So yeah, it's gonna be difficult for you to render a true assessment of your church if you keep going there because you, you're consistently reposing yourself to their hypnosis. [00:42:00] It's gonna be difficult for you to, to. Properly assess things that have a strong grip on you unless you take yourself away from it for a considerable time and then consider independently, you know, but they keep you in fear and they say, if you don't keep coming here, then bad things are gonna happen.And stuff like that. I'm like, the church has way too much control over people, way too much control. so, so, so I want y'all to stop believing these preachers because it's, cuz they're on stage and because of who you think they are, you don't know them. You don't go to their houses with them. You don't hang out with them. You don't, you not there, you know, they say words to make you feel like you're a part of their family, but you're not, you know, many of them have security.You can't even get close to them on most days. You can't, they're not accessible to you. These people are not your friends. You know, they're not. And the only thing you've ever needed was the Lord. , it's not a person like they have the answers to everything cuz they don't, some of these, some of the ways some of these preachers preach is so overly simplistic [00:43:00] and especially with compared to how the, the deep things the Bible goes into, how deep our problems are.You know, I was reaching the other day over and judges about how this one woman got, you know, raped so much about a bunch of men, you know, that she died, you know, churches that they don't preach that scripture. You know why? Because it's difficult for them to act like they're the men in Sodom Gaur, who they, who they try to say wanted to have sex with.The dude is a reason all homosexuality is wrong. But then when there's scriptures in the Bible of a bunch of men doing terrible things, not wanting to actually doing terrible things to women, they don't use that to say all heterosexuality is wrong. You see? You know, so they don't get into this. So I have a problem with preachers because they only talk about the flowery shit.They don't talk about the deep shit, you know? , or they might say, you know, break up into your small groups once the main service is over to go deeper. I've been in those [00:44:00] small groups. They don't go that much deeper because those churches have a protocol and everything is guarded and protected that is ever said or spoken.The spirit is not for flow freely in churches anymore because they're too concerned with their bottom line and their image and their media schedule and stuff like that. You know, I'll never forget the time I was sitting in Lakewood Church and this woman caught the Holy Ghost. The only time I've ever seen this in any sort of, you know, church of that stature, and they put her out the, you know, they put her out, the congregate out the out the sanctuary, you know, and I was like they're like, okay, so is this God's house or is this Joel's house?You know, I don't know, because you know, the spirit wants to move and this woman wasn't faking. , you know, it takes a lot of nerve to let the spirit move you that freely in the Lord's Church in America and not be shamed, you know? And she got up and the spirit started, you know, to move and to speak through her.And you know, she was doing a [00:45:00] little dance, you know, something that, you know, I'd really only seen in Pentecostal churches, you know, and then them ushers got on her so fast, before I had a chance to, to be impressed in an about what was happening. She was already gone. And so do it in what you will. But what I'm saying is there's, I don't think that there's really as much God in these churches anymore, you know, as what it seems to be to some people.As the Bible says, there'll be a great falling away, you know, from the church. You let the church tell it. That falling away is just because we're all gonna become heretics and wanna leave God. No. Like we've falling away because the church is full of shit, you know? And full of assholes, you know, and narcissistic people.Who, who discarded people fire volunteers that are more concerned about the next book they're going to write, the next album they're gonna release in the next arena. They're gonna sell out, you know? And you know, rather than actually tending to the hurting people, [00:46:00] they got flowery words, you know, and everything like that.But for the amount of money that people pay them donate to them in exchange for what? Positive words, girl, you can go on YouTube and listen to somebody tell you something kind about yourself. You don't have to deal with the church's bullshit for that. You know,when I, when I, when I sit here and I'm thinking about the controlled churches have over people, I remember I was at this Pentecostal church in California when I was in the military out there. This church didn't have like a choir, they just had about, you know, seven or eight worship leaders or 10 whatever.They would rotate behi, you know, you know, in the back of the preacher. Well, three of the two, three or four of them decided to have them a good old orgy girl. And you wish, I'm like, Hey, you know what, y'all are young hot , you know, you, a couple of boys and girls got together, you know, [00:47:00] they need to do some experimentations and whatnot.You know, I don't see the problem with it, you know, but , one of them was a Judas and decided got guilty after they had busted their nut. And when Rand told the pastor snitch because he had this, this woman who just went and told him every fucking thing. And and I know that because when the pastor got back in town he said that his snitch told him what had happened in the choir.and and I'm all like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Why in the hell is the church getting all up in people's sexual lives, you know, in the first damn place? And then why are you announcing this to the congregation? He didn't say their name, but he was like, basically like, well, it's seven people who usually sing up here.Three of them aren't here tonight. So you know who they are. I'm like, you may as well have said the names, if you gonna be that messy about it. [00:48:00] And so, but look at how much control this person could not go and enjoy a sexual experience that clearly was planned and just let that be that, and if they felt bad about it, prayed and been done with it.This person is so convinced that they, if they feel guilty, they can't get right unless they go confess to a human. You know, that's just so, that's so stupid. Like, wait, what is the point of Jesus if. If we feel bad about something, we can't get reconciled to God unless we go through a human. What was the point of the crucifixion?I don't get it. That's why I don't get the existence of the Catholic church. I don't get their existence. I don't get half of their fucking rituals and canon and whatever the fuck they have going on. I just don't understand how there's so many people in the way of us in Jesus when the whole point of him coming here was to get rid of the necessity of people in the first damn place.And [00:49:00] so I digress. I want y'all to be cautious of these I statements, these preachers make. They'll say like, so when, when Joel and Victoria were being interviewed by Larry King and, and Larry King asked him about his view on homosexuality, the first word outta outta Joel's mouth was like, I wasn't raised that way.I've heard many preachers say this. I wasn't raised this way. I, I, I, I, I. But you know, from the beginning, it was not. So when the prophets and the kings of Israel, the righteous ones spoke, they said, this is what God says. Thus say, if the Lord, this is a message from God, not, let me think about how I was raised and see what I'm going to tell you.But that doesn't have anything to do with the cost of tea in China. Bitch. The nothing, it has nothing to do with anything. But preachers are so damn narcissistic by nature, they cannot separate [00:50:00]themselves from their message.I, I'm thinking about TD Jakes now. Who has preached vehemently against homosexuality. There was a moment where he had a chance that he was gonna like actually do the right thing, and he was on some damn show and he was all like, you know what, my thinking's evolving concerning this. You know, he got back to his own congregation and then he was like, you know, that's not really what I meant.But first of all, it's not your thinking, you know, it's not your thinking. You know, these, these preachers get there and they tell us what they think. When you hear Joyce Meyer talk all the time, she, I mean, I, I don't listen to the bitch anymore, but you know, she be like, you know, I, you know, I, I, I, I, aye you know, there, there, there's so much I that comes outta these preacher's mouths.And I used to sit there and listen and take this shit off of these people. But again, now that I'm no longer in [00:51:00] it, I can stand back and look and see how stupid I was to let them manipulate me like this. These, these ministries are not ministries of God. These are ministries that belong to these preachers and their families.These are family businesses, and you are not doing nothing more, but supporting their family business in exchange for very little in return in most cases. And this is all I'm gonna say about that. I, I hope I don't ever hear another preacher say, I think, or I feel, or what I, because we're all gonna do what we think and what the fuck do we need you for.And if everybody's gonna just do what they were raised, then I mean, that, that just goes against every, it just goes against so much, you know? It's about how does God want us to be and who can give us an unadulterated, true word from the Lord? Well, you can go and find it yourself because we all need to graduate from church.I don't know where this whole idea came from about [00:52:00] being in church forever, you know, and from the beginning. . I mean, churches were first introduced to the nation of Israel. Those people didn't go to church every week like, like that. They went up to that temple I think like once a year, or for special reasons.This whole concept of gathering like that was not an all the time thing, you know? And you don't, I mean, well, two or three people are gathered. The Lord is there. You don't, I mean, that's just you talking with your friends, your neighbors and stuff like that. But the whole purpose of church is to be a school.It's a place where you go to learn and to be educated. I guess now you go there to, I guess may be made to feel better about yourself or whatever. There should come a time where you will learn the enough from the preachers you said under, you know, they are hopefully growing, but you are too. And the thing about it is you're gonna be super serious about getting close to God.Then there's, there's gonna come a point, [00:53:00] as the Bible says in the scripture, there comes a day and time where you will have needs that no man teach you. That is in the Bible. And preachers don't preach that either. And God is calling for you to come to a point that you are spiritually in the pen. I n d e p e n D, tea bitch.Okay? And so, cause the thing, another thing I don't like is like when people try to attack other people for religious reasons and stuff like that, they always say, well hear this scripture here says this is wrong. And that, you know, but true people, people who truly has achieve spiritual growth, understand that as you walk with God, everybody's walk with him is gonna be a little bit different.In some ways. Jesus is the same. The Holy Ghost is the same, the angels are the same, but it's like when God reveals himself to certain people, in scriptures, it's always a little different every time. He never ever does anything exactly the same [00:54:00] way. So we all dealing with the same God, but he's gonna deal with us uniquely cuz we're all different people.So somebody who's truly walking with the Lord will speak from their experiences with God. You know, I've walked with God long enough. I know his personality, I know him, I talk to him, I pray to him. I read his Bible, you know, and I do recommend trying to learn the Bible in as many of its original languages as you can, or cross-referencing things and trying to look it up because those biblical interpretations and translations out there are, are done by people.I just did a show with Barry Bowen. The Bible translations industry and how much money is in it. You know nothing but white conservative people control the interpretation of the Bibles as we know them. You know, black, brown colored indigenous people, queer people. Were not at the table. You know, you know women not really at the table.And so get to get to learn those original languages as much as you can for yourself. Overview [00:55:00] bible.com. Jeffrey Kranz, my homie over there, is a great place to go to learn really what the Bible is and all the years it took to try to put it together, how it was started out being orally spoken and transferred.Everything that you need is not gonna be in the Bible. It is not. I don't give a damn what people say. It isn't. You know, they like the preachers like to use though that acronym, that Bible stands for basic instructions before Leaving Earth. Well, then at the same time, they wanna say, but everything you need is in here.Well, bitch, is it basic or is it comprehensive? Because it can't be both. And so , those preachers in their narcissism are gonna say whatever serves them at the moment. But we gotta come to a point people where we speak about God out of our personal experiences with him, and we've walked with God long enough, we know how he's gonna act.Probably in this situation, just like we do with anybody else, for all of our personalities and the way we commune with each other. This came to us from God. He [00:56:00] is the biggest person there is. You know, a lot of us have a lot of strong personalities, but we ain't stronger than the most high, and so we are just little microcosms of him.Okay. So walk with him, get to know him, and you know, whenever somebody tries to tell you, try to correct your behavior based on a scripture, you tell them to go fuck themselves. Because these people, if they really walked with the Lord, then they would know better than that. They would know the folly in thinking that that scripture is to be weaponized cuz that's not the point.God is all about grace, mercy, long suffering, loving kindness, understanding and being patient with people and being patient more like he says, if you walk a mile with somebody, walk two and you forgive people up to up to 70 times seven times, 70 times seven times a day, which is basically unlimited forgiveness is what he wants people to work towards, not refusing to make a cake for people if they're not straight and they want to get married for refusing them, service, kicking them out.This is not of God. This is of the spirit of [00:57:00] narcissism, , this is arrogance. These are insecure little people who are cavernous holes on the inside of their heart who need to feel better about themselves. By making other people feel bad. This is not God. This is something else. Posing is God, wolves and sheeps clothing, as Jesus said, would be here, has gotta be somebody.And they are found in the church. And so, you know, so as you walk with the Lord, you'll grow with him over time and you'll get to know him as a person. And then you'll be able to, to speak about the things of God and what he will or won't do based on your experience, not, not other people's experiences that you read in the Bible, though that's a great place to start.That's not where you should finish. And so by the time you get done with God, well in this life the Bible should be something you reference. And if you insist upon going the church, it should be as an accessory, not as the main meat of your walk with [00:58:00] God. Your main meat is your personal time with him.Period. Done in the story, not the pretty worship at churches, not. Not, you know, you know, not, not even the Bible, outside of your personal experiences with Lord. All those things have their place, and the Bible certainly has power in, and you can use those scriptures to, to do very powerful things in your life, to bring you peace.There's power in the word of God, but there is still nothing more important than how God deals with you directly, personally, in ways that only you know. So to sum this all up, stop letting preachers spoon feed you. You can go to God for yourself because the more you look at what those preachers like, you need them, the more that reinforces this big them and little you and baby that's not good for your soul. All you ever needed was the Lord. [00:59:00] You get to know God for yourself.Cause when you stand before him, ain't no preacher or pastor gonna be able to stand with you. You gonna stand there alone, you know, with nothing but books open with all you know, with all of your history and works and life in it. So be sure that you make a priority out of following God, out of all the things you want to get in this life.Sex, money, fortune, positions, promotion, travel, children. Be sure that you prefer God above your chief. Joy. I ain't saying there's nothing wrong with any of those things, but just be sure you put God above your chief joyand I pray that you learn the proper position of, of things in your life like, like churches and preachers, you insist upon having them and if they've done something to hurt. , please don't associate God with that, and don't be angry at God. You know, separate those two things. I once made that mistake. It was a dire mistake, you know, in my life, to let there be [01:00:00] silence in between myself and heaven for as long as I did, because of what happened to me at Lakewood.Please don't make that mistake. Yes, we've seen our friends be damaged by churches. We've been damaged by churches. Our family's been damaged by churches. But let's let, let's leave that to and just, just un understand that that was the church that wasn't God. And and let's, then let's do what we can to reconcile ourselves to God while we can.Again, my name is De'Vannon the website is Sex, drugs and jesus.com. This is a Sex Drugs and Jesus podcast.

Thank [00:01:00] you so much and enjoy the show. Hello everyone. My name is Devana and I'd like to welcome you to the Sex Drugs in Jesus podcast. I got my homie Dylan Gay here with me today from the Sober Gay Podcast. And yes, gay is his real last name. He was at the start of each of his shows. How the fuck are you, my Dillan: friend? I'm wonderful. How are De'Vannon: you?I'm fantastic. Yes. Uh, We're recording this on Friday, the 9th of September. I got on my lsu. Tigers, Louisiana State University t-shirt. We start tailgating tomorrow. Ooh. Looking forward to stepping away from my Xbox and actually going out and talking to real humanoids. Yes, . . Dillan: You're out in the world again, , De'Vannon: right, and just doing a twirl.It's a great workout. Louisiana State University is a huge fucking campus, so it's a good [00:02:00]exercise day for. So so like I said, Dylan hosts the So Brigade podcast. The website is the, so brigade do com. You can catch them on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Primarily Instagram though. And today we're gonna be talking about Dylan's sobriety journey.So on my show I've taken, you know, everybody through my whole journey of, you know, you know, not doing drugs because of the church getting on of them after I got kicked out of the church. And that my dicey relationship with like crystal Meth Anonymous and the anonymous movement as a whole to my current hallucinogenic expiration.And, you know, I go back and forth, you know, with it. Making space for everything. But today I thought it would be great to get back to talking about, you know, sobriety and the people who are, you know, still in that camp though, I've broken away from that. So talk to me about why you started the podcast, what [00:03:00] led you to it, and give me like a synopsis of your sobriety.Dillan: So I started the show in right in the beginning of the pandemic. It was in April of 2020 or May. I started, so I was about three months sober at that time, and I really just needed an outlet and something to do because I didn't foresee as anyone else did the pandemic coming and much less, you know, three months into sobriety when you know, it's a very crucial time to be not worried about the world around you and just worried about yourself.I really didn't know what to do with myself. I was trying to find some kind of queer outlets or something I could relate to. All I could really find was female ran podcast that I could really feel relatable. I didn't feel any, you know, queer love from any like sobriety. [00:04:00] Topics, or, you know, anything, podcasts.So I was like, you know, let's just make one . So I made the sober gay very early in my sobriety. It was very like, kind of weird. Like I, I had a like, thought like, you know what, if this doesn't work out, I'm only three months into it, and here I, I'm making a show about it. But it actually worked out really nicely.Creates a chronological timeline of my beginning of sobriety up until almost three years of sobriety. So it's like you can start the show in the beginning and really feel where I'm at and watch how I grow into, you know, a better version of myself. And so what started my sobriety in general? I was, Drinking a lot.10, about 10 years. I started when I was about 17, 18, really heavy drinking every and heavy drinking. I mean, like [00:05:00] every day, even when I've got strep throat or when I'm really sick, I'm making sure I still can choke down, you know, three glasses of wine or four, you know what I mean? Like it was, and I'm sure you know, you as a.Addict understands what that's like. When even your body is sick and telling you to just rest, you're like, okay, I'll rest, but as long as I have a little bit of, you know what I need in my system, I can rest. And it just, you never fully give your body a chance to rest. And I was getting tired. It was 10 years into it and it was just a charade at that point.I had, I was 28 when I got sober and. I just remember getting wine and shots every night, and that was my, every single, every, every day thing go home by myself at that point. Because once you're that far into it, I had gotten very isolated just by myself and enjoying my habit. And it was one night I was, [00:06:00] it was December 14th, I was.going home, and I was like driving past the same liquor store that I'd always stop at and I said, you know what? I should just not stop at the liquor store and just go home and give myself, give my body a rest. I could use my, my body could use a rest and I couldn't do it. I literally, it was like, A force had taken over me and my, my hands held the steering wheel and pulled into the parking lot of the liquor store and I was screaming in the car audibly, screaming out loud, stop.What are you doing? Why are we doing this? Why are we stopping here? You can just go home. I was saying this like to myself, screaming it and I parked, got outta the car and it was literally felt like I was like in a video game and couldn't control my own vessel, like, and I was just walking to the liquor.I grabbed the bottle. Grabbed my shots, paid, went home, smiled at the cashier, left and went home, and I sat down. When I, as soon as I got home, I sat down and I said, okay, you got your stuff. [00:07:00] Let's do it in silence. No stimulation. I turned everything off. I made sure I put my phone away and I just wanted to sit there and get as hammered as I could and just experience it as fully as I could with no stimulation external.And it was a very, very horrible night for me. I mean, just sitting there in silence with myself and my thoughts, it was one of the first times I had been able to just sit with my thoughts without something drowning it out, and to be all drunk. It was just miserable. I was so sad. It's just, I felt all of the sensations, I felt dizzy.I, it's like things I had never felt from the alcohol before. So the next day, I said, no, I'm not gonna do it. I'm not going to the liquor store. And that was the first day. December 15th was the first day that I had said no, and I'm just not gonna do it anymore, and I'm just gonna go straight home [00:08:00] and throw myself in a bathtub.And I've been sober since. So that was kind of what really drew me into it was just how bad it had gotten. And I, I know I didn't. Say all the bad things that happened leading up to it, but I don't really need to. It had gotten to a point where it took over my body and it was all I could care about. So that's kind of the main gist of why I stopped and why I started the podcast.De'Vannon: Right. And you know that, that, that point of when it's too much varies per person. And we're gonna talk about later on, because one of the, the things of one of your shows was asking for help and, you know, and so, so we'll talk about, you know, when does that point come, you know, where you need help. But what I, but what I wanna ask you is, How did you stop?Did you use like alcoholics Anonymous, a rational recovery, some sort of program, or do you feel like you received the Divine Deliverance? [00:09:00]Dillan: I made my own little. Thing, I guess I, I, I dabbled into Alcoholics Anonymous. I went to a couple meetings here and there. I knew that wasn't gonna be my sole outlet of getting sober, though I just didn't relate to a lot of it.I didn't like how they worded a lot of it. So I wanted different options. I read a lot of books. I read this Naked Mind from Annie Grace, that's Probably what really put the nail in the coffin for me. It really just kind of breaks down what alcohol is in a non-biased way and just kind of tells you everything, how there's.Type one drinkers, type two drinkers. People that can drink one drink and then go about their day and be done or whatever they need to do and not drink for days or months, whatever. And then there's type two, you know, like people that obsess over it, if they have just a little lick of it and can't [00:10:00]stop, won't stop until they finish and get as fucked up as they can.She kind of breaks it down into just like the hard facts and it really just kind of reset my brain into my relationship with alcohol. So definitely Annie Grace. I had to listen to a lot of podcasts. I did a lot of meditation trying to just get inside my body and out of it at the same time.That was mainly, I didn't use, I didn't go to rehab, I didn't do any of that stuff this time around. This was my third attempt at getting sober and this was the one that stuck was, and I think mainly what I had to do is because I was making the choice for myself my previous times trying to get sober, it was.External sources influencing me to get sober, whether it be an ex or friends. This was the time where I really wanted it for myself, and I think that's where it clicks you. I mean, it's hard to do anything for [00:11:00] anyone else that's remotely difficult, so you gotta really wanna do it for yourself or to be able to succeed, you know, to your fullest potential, in my opinion.Hmm. De'Vannon: Very interesting. Yeah. I'm all for the autonomous approach to self-development. I believe in independent spirituality. Say like in the Christian world, like without going to church, I believe in sobriety without the need for like a group, you know, because I feel like when. When we take it so personally and stuff like that, it seems to stick more with us.And then when we, when we're believing what we're believing or we're doing what we're doing on the path we're on, because we want to be on it and because of what's coming to us and not because of the group or some authority figure, you know, physical authority figure, you know. I think it's more permanent because [00:12:00] eventually, you know, holes get poked in the, in the images of the people we look up to or in the institutions or in the organizations.So be it the churches, the anonymous movement, you know, whatever. They start off with a glistening reputation and then it gets a little tainted over the time and then that can fuck up people's sobriety. It can fuck up people's faith, you know, in their God it can, it can make people dis distrust, you know, which is a lot of what happened to me.I ain't for the anonymous movement. It started off cute because you know, that's the best thing that I had available. But as I got more into it, I saw the holes in it, you know, I was like, how dare you tell me I should not do crystal meth and cocaine when you're chain smoking cigarettes and drinking a gallon of coffee at every week.Oh hell no,This hypocrisy will not work. . Right, right.So then this brings me to a [00:13:00] question I wanted to ask you. I know I'm not hearing anything about like drugs in your history, but just, just for shits and gigs, I wanna get your opinion on this because you know, you were able to walk into the liquor store, you know, and buy what you want and everything like that.People who are strung out on drugs and shit like that. You know, generally, unless you're like in a place where it's decriminalized, which in the United States is only Oregon, you can't just like, you know, go into the store and buy you a gram of meth, you know, or an vol of Coke. So like there, there's barriers to access.Do you feel like You know, with, with people who struggle with alcohol because the thing that is, is hurting you is legal. You know, as long as you're over 21, you can just bloody walk into the store and buy all you want and there's, nobody's gonna stop you. Do you, do you think that, that the ease of access has to something to do Dillan: with that or?Absolutely. I think it's, I mean, it's so easy to get and it's branded everywhere. You, you sit on the bus stop on [00:14:00] the corner and there's a Coors Light ad on it, and it's, you can't escape it in this, in our, the world that we've created for ourselves here. So of course I think it definitely makes it a little harder to be sober, especially in the beginning times.But I mean, when every event and everything is sponsored by a different alcohol and every event is centered around drinking, whether it be a wedding or a funeral or anything, there's gonna be alcohol provided. And it's not looked at as like weird. It's socially accepted for someone to be in grief and to take a drink to make them feel better, it's like, People encourage that.They're like, oh, they need a drink after that. Like, it, it's the only, no one would say like, oh, they need to hit a meth after that. Like, , like, it's like, so like you don't have to go around hearing like that encouragement from the world around you. It's just, it's like, Blah. . . De'Vannon: They would've [00:15:00] said that in my trap house back in my church.Dillan: Oh, just take a little hit of Matthew. De'Vannon: You'll feel better. We would say a bumper tool. Old Do Dillan: a bumper two or do De'Vannon: bumper tool do. That was ourselves, our slogan. Dillan: Oh God, . De'Vannon: So the, the, the theme of one, of, one of your shows was actually called, you know, staying Sober in a community that was designed to glorify alcohol, staying sober in a community that was designed to glorify alcohol.And I was gonna ask you about that. And I suppose that's much of what you were just saying, but by community, I was wondering if you meant the L G B T Q community or like Yeah. At large. Dillan: I think especially the, it's targeted towards the LGBTQ community. Just like any nightclub or anything, that's, that's the safe space for queer people is a nightclub that's full of alcohol and it's just always around the culture.It's just, I, I can't, every gay person or queer person has a story of a time that [00:16:00] someone, either they or someone around them was way too drunk and something bad happened. It's like, It's just rampant in the queer community. That's one of the main reasons I started the show was because I couldn't find any of the resources, like talking about it, like how bad it was in the community.And it, it's not even just alcohol, it's just drugs in general. Like queer people are looking for an escape from this world, this reality around us. And that's one of the only things people feel they can turn to is a mind altering substance to take away all the, the baggage we've been holding on for so long.De'Vannon: Right, because whenever I'm in a gay bar, I hope, you know, hopefully I don't never have to take a shit because you will not be able to get any of those stalls. Cause everyone's all the coen. Yeah. video1658291643: Seriously De'Vannon: though I'm not judging them. And if you see me, I would like a bump, but you know, , but you know, I'm not, I'm not here to judge.But it is just true, you know, no [00:17:00] matter what city I'm in. invariably, there will always be drugs in the club right now when you've been on the, you know, the bus or whatever the case may be. You know, and you've see, you know, you've seen the, the Corona. Corona signs and God forbid, taka vodka, oh Lord.Mm-hmm. , you know, if you're gonna put something in your body, at least have some decency. Girl , you know? So, so how would you center your mind, you know, if you're trying to overcome alcohol, you're seeing it branded. Everywhere you go is on every commercials, on all the billboards. People got it on their fucking t-shirts, you know, everywhere you go.How would you, where, where, where would you go to in your head? How would you overcome. Dillan: That changes for everyone. I think a lot of people get it really triggered. For me personally, I literally had to, you know, really just wake up and see what the world for, what it is, and just decide my own choices, what I wanna make.It's, it's not easy. It's not like, [00:18:00] you know, but it's also not that hard at this point that I've gotten so used to it. I just kind of had to reframe everything. I had to question everything honestly. And. Question why I believed the way I believed things were and if I even wanted to be that way anymore.Yeah. And like I really had to just, you know, listen to what I felt and not what everyone else was telling me to feel. De'Vannon: I couldn't have said it better myself. I got to a point in reevaluating my stance on like religion and churches and drugs, and I just told the Lord. I was like, you know what? I'm just gonna take my life at this point and just kind of throw it all in the trash because the other people's voices are too enmeshed in my conscious and subconscious, and you use the word that we used in hyp hypnosis as I'm a train hypnotist as well, you use a reframe.You know, we're always reframing. Reframing, reframing, you know, and or replacing depending on the situation. But it's, you know, there's a [00:19:00] lot of reformation that has to happen. And, and I tell God like, you know what? This, this is just so clouded in my head, so let's just toss it all out and I'm gonna act like I'm a baby just being born and I'm gonna approach a life brand new.And you, yes, communicate with me what you do and don't want because I don't trust the other people cuz they had shady motive. Dillan: Right. And I like the reframing because you can't get rid of anything. You can't get rid of. A lot of people think that, and I, I'm saying this personally, I thought I could get rid of my anger.I thought I could get rid of my sadness. You can't get rid of it. You have to learn to reframe it and learn to live with it and learn to move it into a, a transfer of energy into another part of your body and make it better. It's not always about getting rid of everything and just forgetting about it, expelling it.It's not there. I don't believe it. It's not, it's not the inside of me anymore. Therefore it's gone. It's not, I don't think it's like that. It's, you really have to just rework it in your brain and make it [00:20:00] into a space that's comfortable for you to be okay with it. Cuz I mean, you don't have to love everything about yourself, but it's good to be okay with it.So you're talking De'Vannon: about a perspective shift. Dillan: Yeah, just everything. When I see all those ads for alcohol, I don't even see them anymore. Honestly. I've learned to just see that as like, ugh, garbage. It's like spam mail. You don't read through every single spam mail like title. It's like, nah. You just know. You see it instantly and you're like, that's spam.I don't need it. De'Vannon: You might wanna right, you might wanna look into training as a hypnotherapist is what you, is what you're talking about doing is the exact sort of stuff I learned in school. Oh, really? . , Dillan: right? Intuition. , De'Vannon: yeah. Like reframing, replacing like, so, so someone comes with like, It comes to us for a hypnosis to work on, say, smoker cessation.They don't wanna smoke anymore. We're not gonna like try to take the habit. We're gonna like maybe replace that with something else. And I like, maybe when they think about smoking, maybe they'll kind of pinch their fingers together or maybe they'll, [00:21:00] you know, or maybe reach for, transfer the energy right now.Right. Yeah. You're taking that and you're, cause it looks like a baby. If they, they want the little suckle thing, you don't take it from them. You have to take that and give them something else. Mm-hmm. , you know, Absolutely. So, and maybe look into that. I went to H M I, the Hypnosis Motivation Institute out in Tarzana, California, that they have great online courses.They were the first accredited hyp hypnotherapy school in the United States. They're not paying me to promote, to recruit people or nothing like that, but you seem to have the gift . So Dillan: thank you. Thank you very much. I'm gonna, I'll definitely look into that cuz it's, I've always, I'm always looking into different cool mediums That's very up De'Vannon: my alley.Yeah. And that's all about the mind and subconscious and neurolinguistic programming and you know, and how we're affected by things without realizing it, you know, and everything like that. And, you know, it's, it's quite fascinating. It helped me to reframe anger and stuff that I used to hold, like towards my boyfriend and different people, you know?And I began to look at it from a [00:22:00] different perspective and I was able to gain a great amount of peace. , you Dillan: know, Yeah, it's just long. It's just all that perspective, perspective shift. It's just like you can either wake up and see it as like, oh, I missed the bus. I did this went wrong, this went wrong. Or you can see it as like, oh, I'm getting an opportunity to walk a little slower to work today.And they'll understand I'll be late. And like just reframing everything, just totally changes. Could change anything about yourself. But I guess that's what you were talking about with hypnotherapy, cuz that's literally what it's for, is to help change parts of yourself, , mm-hmm. De'Vannon: and getting through all the noise in the head and the subconscious.My favorite thing that I've reframed lately was like, so when I was in the military, you know, they always taught me to move fast, fast, fast, fast, fast. If you're 15 minutes, Early than you're really late, you know? Right. Thing. Everything's over the top. You're better than than normal civilians. You know, you don't wanna be like that.And you know, and I got outta the military like 20 years ago and I just had this [00:23:00] reformation like the other week, you know, or maybe even the other day. And I then I thought to myself, you know what, because when you get outta the military, you get outta there judging society because they've taught us that we're better than everyone else.But they don't, they don't. Deprogram our military minds when they throw us back out into society. So then, then I'm thinking, you suck cuz you're slow and you're late. And the shit's not that big a deal. It's a form of P T S D that many of us get outta the military with unfortunately, it seems. Mm-hmm. So I thought to myself maybe, maybe it's not that people are slow.Maybe I'm moving too damn fast. Dillan: Right. Right. So you just have to like stop and reframe it. You're like, everyone's not going so slow. Yeah. I'm just in hyper De'Vannon: speed. . Yeah. Maybe I sneak to slow the fuck down. And I'm a Sagittarius though. It's hard for me to dial it Dillan: back. Oh yeah. SA is, you guys are always wanting to go explore and go and go.Go. , De'Vannon: but it's unrealistic, you know? And so I was like, you know what, maybe VA slowed down. You know, I have my times where I can go fast, but not [00:24:00] all the time, the van. And so that, as simple as that may seem, I've never told myself that too much before. Mm-hmm. , you know, but little one-liners like that can really redirect us.Absolutely. So another topic of one of your shows you were talking about like jealousy and anger at people who can still drink. Mm, so this, so this bacon, so like a bitterness. When somebody decides that, Hey, for me, it's coming too far and I wanna stop drinking. Now I'm at this party, and that bitch over there has that cosmo that I would love to have.Fuck her. Mm-hmm. , you know, how do you deal Dillan: with that there? Yeah, mine, mine is red wine. Any Cabernets or anything? I was always very, you know, I'm from the East Coast, very like it's very New York City to have a glass of red wine in your hand, you know, like right . So that one is like, that one still kind of gets to me.Just, I just miss that elegance in the class and you just, [00:25:00] it just makes you personify this new feeling. And it's not even the drink that was doing it. It was literally just the glass with the red liquid inside of it that I was holding that made me feel that, you know, fanciness, . But yeah, it does suck seeing other people be able to enjoy it and, I'm like, oh, I've done all this work on myself.I've done all this therapy. I should be able to go have a drink now. Right? Eh, like I tell myself that sometimes and I'm like, eh, maybe not , but it does suck to see other people enjoy it. And I just know I can't ever get to that level again. De'Vannon: Right now, don't remember it was you and, and y'all, Dylan as a co-host, his, his name's Aubery one of you mentioned.how you go to weddings and parties and stuff like that and that you're finding that you're not actually the only sober person. And so, so it seems like, it sounds, it feels really lonely at first, but you're finding that you're actually, you're not the only sober gay running [00:26:00] around. Dillan: Right. And I mean, the first wedding I went to, I had a lot of fun, but I left early cuz I just got so anxious and.Just uneasy. But I went to a, a wedding after that and it was much easier. I think I had to really just like get back into the groove of it. But the first one I went to after getting sober was definitely hard. I, you know, seeing everyone dance and let loose and, you know, run back to their table and take a little shot or whatever to loosen them up a little more to go on the dance floor.And I was like, oh, I, I'm just, I, they're just expecting me to just go on the dance floor, like there's no inebriation in my system. Like they're just expecting me to go out there and dance. I just couldn't do it. I had to leave. . But the wedding after that, I had, you know, the second one I went to after that in sobriety, I, I kind of felt like I saw everyone getting up.I, it was the same thing. I saw everyone getting up and starting to get on the dance floor and I was like, had that feeling of like, okay, am I gonna do what I did last time? And just like, let this overwhelm me until the point of [00:27:00] where I just gotta go. Or I could just take that energy and just go dance.And I went and danced and I had a great time. And so I guess that was brings us back to how you can reframe things. , De'Vannon: I hope you popped your pussies. Aveoli. . . I did. Clearly left burn marks on the dance floor. For Dillan: real though. I, I'm pretty sure I did. I think they had to repaint the venue. Hell De'Vannon: yeah. Fuck.That's shit all the way. So, so another one that you talked about was like routines that you had in your life, like before drinking and after drinking. And so it sounds like, do you think like when you were into the drinking that maybe subconsciously or maybe intentionally that you rearranged your life so that you would always have access to the drink?Or talk to me about these routines. Dillan: I think the routines start at least for me, the routines started later in my drinking. [00:28:00]Career. In the beginning it was very just, you know, drink to have fun and it turns into drinking every night. You kind of find a way to drink every night when you're younger.You can find a party anywhere, the round kids your age. But once I get to like 25, 26 years old, it really turned into, okay, so-and-so's busy. Oh, so-and-so's busy. I'm just gonna go, you know, drink by myself at my house and that. You know that anytime you do anything regularly in your home, that creates a routine.And so, you know, drinking just a little bit to calm my nerves, turns into drinking to fall asleep and making sure that I'm blacked out by 10:00 PM if I have to get up early the next day. Or if I, you know, if I have to wake up at like 4:00 AM for a flight, I gotta make sure I get blacked out by like 7:00 PM so I'm like knocked out by eight.It's like those. Shifts in my routine that I was centering around. Just drinking and just getting my fix was totally [00:29:00] disrupting everything else in my life, but it didn't matter to me. As long as I was able to get my fix, then I could, you know, solve every other problem. But it was always get drunk first and then, you know, I'll deal with that problem after I get a little buzz.But the, the catch 22 of that is you get a little buzz. You don't care. So you start to put off everything and you know, next thing you know, your water gets shut off every other month because you're not, you're forgetting to pay the bill here and there. And my electric was getting shut off a lot. Not because I didn't have the money, but because I wasn't remembering to pay the bill.And, or I would see the notice saying it was late. And I'm like, I don't feel like dealing with that right now. I, I still have some more time before they'll actually shut me off. And it's like the stupidest things that like you don't think about when you have a clear head. And you just are living, it's, you're so clouded when you get to that point where you're making those decisions where it's like, I got, I, I, I can, I can pay for the light bill right now, but it's, I'm too wasted or I'm not drunk enough to deal with it, and then I'm getting too drunk to [00:30:00] even deal with the website.So it's like, it's just get, everything's getting pushed off. So I was just pushing off everything for years and years and years and years, and. De'Vannon: So it sounds like this routine crept up on you before you realized it. Dillan: Yeah. Yes, absolutely. Good way to say it. It's like if you don't, you don't. I wasn't just like one day like, okay, I'm gonna start my drinking here.It was like all of that stuff kind of happened organically. It was like, it just happens naturally. It's almost like the way you think, like, oh, I need to go to sleep now to get my, if I wanna get six hours of sleep, like that was my way of thinking. But for drinking, Like, I gotta start drinking now so I could be drunk by this time.And it, it's become second nature. I, but like you said, it was like, I didn't go into it with the intent of making these schedules for myself. It just happened. De'Vannon: It just happened. Well, I'm glad it not happened for you. . Dillan: Me too. De'Vannon: Oh, and I love the [00:31:00] transparency of your podcast. And I feel like it's so beneficial to people who are struggling with alcohol because they will not feel alone.There's so much feelings of isolation in this world. You know? That's why I do what I do too, to be super transparent because it's, it's so not true because the people around us are going through so much. It's just like, When I was younger, we were too busy partying and doing all the drugs and being cute and trying to see how skinny we can get.Nobody was really talking about real life issues and stuff like that. And so then when real life problems and issues happened to me, I was thinking I was the only one. And really that wasn't true. Right? So, you know, I gotta open my mouth for more than sucking dick, y'all. We have, we have to do better.Dillan: better. Well, I'm very happy that you're using a good platform for good in spreading your story as well. De'Vannon: Yes. And so, So we, so you talked about FOMO in one of your shows, y'all, and that's fear of [00:32:00] missing out. So, so when you start, it sounds like when you first started the sober journey, maybe you thought that there were some places you wouldn't have been able to go anymore, that you think you might lose some friends.You know, what, what did you think you might miss out on? Dillan: I, my biggest thing was like like weddings. I, like I talked about before, that was like, I didn't know how to like go to a wedding or anything like that. . And like, just like the fear of missing out of just going to, you know, see friends at clubs and bars and things like that because it is such a popular destination for socialization is to just go and drink.So I was, you know, unfortunately I did lose a lot of friends just because that's wasn't my main topic of interest anymore. So I, I did miss out on a lot, but at, in the same time, I think I gained, you know, more about myself learning. I tried not to polarize everything as such good and bad. I didn't think of it as like a bad thing.It's [00:33:00] just, it is what it is. But it does, you know, the fear of missing out is still there. But that's always just gonna be like, humans are curious by nature. You know, we're always gonna be like, what could have been if I did this? Or if I was still drinking, where would I be? Would I be, you know, living my life to the extent and doing all the things that I fear I'm missing out of because I'm not drinking?And then I kind of stop thinking about it , when I frame it that. Mm-hmm. De'Vannon: How did it feel to lose friends that you feel hurt, betrayed, relieved Dillan: Kind of a mixture of all of that. It's in the beginning, you're like you kind of think like, everyone's gonna support me on my journey. All my, you know, but I had all, a lot of.Drunk friends like they were, that's, you know, that's what they did. And a lot of them did support me and do, and you know, most of them did openly say like, you're doing the right thing. This is good for you. [00:34:00] But you know, naturally, just because we're not hanging out, just kind of. You know, disappear and they fade away.And then you kind of get that feeling of like a little bit afterwards you're, you're getting angry cuz you're like, well damn I haven't talked to that person in two months and I bet you, I bet you damn wells cuz I'm not drinking. And then you start to get that feeling. And that does give you a sense of like, feeling betrayed by people you once trusted.But I mean, that's like you said. Then you move on kind of into the next phase and you're like, okay, you know what? I'm relieved. This is for the best. You know, I'm gonna do me, I can, you know, take this time to focus on me and not worry about them. I don't like to think of it as, I lost a lot of friends though, because they're still there.You know, social media, you don't really lose anyone nowadays. They're still there. I just, you know, You know, change the energy of the friendship. It's just, you know, it's online now. . [00:35:00]De'Vannon: Okay. Hey, I guess Dillan: you reframed It does suck though. Yeah, it does suck though. I'm not, I'm not trying to sugarcoat it too much.It, I mean, but it's, it's life. Say Lavie, you know, it goes on, you just have to look at it that way and not as like, oh, I lost everyone. It's like, ah, fresh start. It's a new De'Vannon: beginning forever. Spring baby. Forever spring. Dillan: Mm-hmm. . Absolutely. Let's talk De'Vannon: about sex, baby. Oh lord. Okay. No hole in the hole. . And so, so on your show, you were mentioning, like you were paralleling the difference between like drunk sex, not drunk sex.Mm-hmm. you feel like there's a, a change in, in, like in your sex life for, for, for the better or worse since you stopped drinking? Did, was there a difference for you? Dillan: Well, yeah, I think, well, towards the end of my drinking I was actually having issues with [00:36:00] my sex life, well, my sex drive I was having issues with.I couldn't, you know, Even get hard really, cuz I was just, I was drunk too much. It was just like I couldn't do it right. And I couldn't hold an erection. So that was started, that was another red flag of just what was wrong. And I was, I couldn't control my bladder. I was peeing the bed all the time.It was, and so getting into being sober and starting to like, regain control of my body. Is great and then it all comes with, you know, being aligned and aligning yourself again after you get sober. Cuz you can't just get sober and expect everything to fall into place. You gotta do the work and, you know, I had to literally align my, my sexual shocker and get it, you know, back into the place it's supposed to be.And. Not treat sex the way I was treating it in the past and, you know, thinking like, oh, I had to be, you know, drunk to like even ex, you know, have fun or be good at it, or at least be a little [00:37:00]tipsy to be the right partner. You just experienced it a different way. I had a lot of resentment towards sex when I got sober, cuz of how I had been viewing sex for so long that once I got sober and saw it for what it was and saw it as a beautiful act, you know, I treated it a lot differently and a lot more sacred than I was before.And just, you know, I just treated my whole, the whole energy was more sacred to me. I guess that was what I'm trying to say. It is great though. It's much, it's much better experience for me now that I'm more in tune with it than before where it's kind of just like a wham bam. Thank you ma'am. Now I feel like you know, when I experience it now it's, you know, very much a spiritual experience and fully engaging all of my body into this act, if that makes sense.De'Vannon: Yeah. All of your body, all your breathing, all of your awareness, all of your [00:38:00]consciousness, Dillan: yes. Yeah. I'm not like putting my consciousness somewhere else and putting my body on autopilot. It's like, you know, I'm in my body experiencing it.De'Vannon: Okay. I'm here for the conscious, conscious love making and sexual explorations and experiences and Dillan: things. Right, right. There was a time though I was celibate for a long, long, long, long time. like years because of, I just couldn't do it. I didn't want to, and I, you know, just body image issues at the time.That's a whole other topic, but the, it was part of the drinking as well. De'Vannon: The celibacy came after you began to get sober, or was it during Dillan: the drinking? It was during it all kind of blended together towards the end of the alcohol and the beginning of sobriety that I was pretty celibate and abstaining from relationships and sex, not on purpose.It just kind of was happening. I didn't really, I wasn't like , I just wasn't seeking [00:39:00] it. De'Vannon: I've been through that before. You know, Dillan: you have to be selfish every once in a while and just be like, you know what? I can't do anything . I just, I just don't wanna do anything with anyone. I just want to focus on me. De'Vannon: I don't view that as selfish.I view that as more like self-sacrificial. Hmm. Dillan: Interesting. Oh, De'Vannon: I view it as great discipline and great restraint because you know, it's so easy to go get a piece of ass somewhere these days. You can order it like, like a, like an Uber or Lyft or some shit. You just open an app and order it and the ass will come through the door like you don't Dillan: evenBut see, I don't know. You say it, it's like, it's like, I guess we just see it differently when you say restraint, I never really see myself having to like restrain or wanting to like restrain myself from. Going, I get I, but I've never was like that. Even when I was a drinker, I was never really like promiscuous or like wanting to like seek out another person's comfort, which I think goes a lot to like child trauma history.But that's a whole nother topic as [00:40:00] well.De'Vannon: what happened in video1658291643: yourDillan: childhood? , oh God. Very, We'll, just briefly, just religious parents, abusive, physically, emotionally abusive that kind of deal. Southern Baptist. Ooh just, yeah, that kind of you Yeah. You get it.De'Vannon: Jesus Christ on the throne. One of my greatest struggles is I'm very like, Like God, Jesus Christ, holy Ghost. But I'm very like anti-church and Antio Nation. Dillan: Absolutely. I deal De'Vannon: with So you too. Yeah. Yeah. I deal with so many people who have been on the receiving end of like religious and church trauma, like I was too.And it is so hard. Like they, they [00:41:00] carry so much pain and I've once carried it too. It's so hard to get them to. To be able to have a conversation or to think about God without it being like a searing pain in their chest. Yeah. You Dillan: know, they have an image of a God that's just, that they're so ingrained in their brain that they can't hear anymore attributes to God because they just don't believe it.It's not there. De'Vannon: Right. So the physical people who, who once represented God to them, hurt them, lie to them, misinformed them, you know? But when you're new in the faith, that's what you have. You know, as you grow, then you begin to understand, just like with any sort of educational growth, you know, I don't actually need the professor anymore.I, I can do this shit myself. Yeah, thanks bitch. Juices, , but you know, But churches aren't like that. They, they, they, they treat you like you gotta stay there and constantly learn from, from that pastor forever for the rest of your life. And I'm all like, that doesn't make any sense. [00:42:00] Church is a school. You're going there to fucking learn.Why Fuck can't I graduate, bitch. Dillan: Right. Oh, wow. That's such a good way to say that. De'Vannon: You know, because you have an agenda, then you need the money. You have, like all the shit you got going on. But, you know, in the, in the Bible even says that there comes a point that you will have need that no man teach you.But they don't teach that in churches, you know? Right. Dillan: And so, but I just feel bad for the Bible. It's been so pick and choose from that. It is just, it's so, it's a book that's used against itself. It's literally just so picked and choosed in different religions. Like it's hard. De'Vannon: I don't wanna encourage my audience and everyone listen like I always do.You know if it's, fuck the church, fuck the church, but don't be like, fuck God. You know? I made that, yeah, I made that mistake when I got kicked outta Lakewood Church for not being straightened. I went through like about five or six years of just silence in between me and heaven because I wasn't as mature spiritually as I thought I was, and I couldn't separate the bad thing.[00:43:00] Joel Osteen and his church did to me. I couldn't separate that from God, you know? And so I really, really don't want people to fall into that trap because it was just a very bitter way for me to be living. And it did not serve me at all. . Mm-hmm. , right? Not all. You know, they're gone on writing more books and selling more arenas than making more millions, and I'm bitter and pissed off at them and, you know, using drugs to numb the pain, not even realizing it.So, mm. So let's talk about hiding drinking, because one of your shows, you talked about that. Now I know what it's like to have a bunch of syringes and pipes and shit that I don't want bitches to find, you know, tucked away or whatever the case may be, . But you know, you have, you know, it's not uncommon to go in someone's house and all the bottles are displayed on a beautiful bar, you know?Was there a point that you felt like you had to hide your drinking? If so, why and how did you do it? Dillan: The, I, I didn't hide it most of the time. I've always been very proud of myself and [00:44:00]proud person in general, but there was times where I did notice myself starting to hide it. I had a, a group of, or a couple friends live with me for one point when they were in the middle of buying a house, and this is probably like eight, nine years ago.And this is probably the first time that anyone had ever, ever been on the inside of my. Because I know I've been, I was single for so long and this was someone coming into and, you know, seeing my life and. You know, start, that's whenever the, the next day they're like, oh, we noticed that you got home last night at like midnight, but there's like an empty wine bottle in the f in the trash and like two empty beer cans.Like, did you have a little party? Like, what happened? And I was like, Oh no, . I just, you know, got off work and came home and drank a bottle of wine and two beers, like like, so then the next night I'm like, fuck these people in my fucking house. And I'm like hiding, like stashing bottles away. And I'm like, [00:45:00] to dare them.I just wanted to come home at midnight and have a fucking drink and go to sleep. And now they're judging me in my house. So there , there was a time I started hiding it. Whenever I was, you know, living with other people and they actually got to be on the inside. And then I start to see the, you know, public opinion of what I'm doing is not exactly normalDe'Vannon: Oh, I would've read them for Phil. I'm like, no, bitch, we're not doing that. We are not doing that. Dillan: They were, they were actually the ones that when we were talking about earlier external sources, you know, trying to influence you to go get help, they were actually some of the people that after living with me for a couple months, that they wanted me to go get help.And it was a very unsuccessful attempt with me and getting professional help to stop drinking . De'Vannon: No, everybody's gotta make those decisions on their own. Mm-hmm. you know, good counselors, good therapists and mental health therapists [00:46:00] always are asking, you know, well, what do you want to do? You know, what is your, what is, you know, how do you wanna proceed?You know, so that you, so that the person always has ownership of whatever direction the mistakes, friends and families make when you're dealing with people. You might consider to be an addict or an alcoholic. I hate those terms, you know, to my, yeah, I same. There's someone in your opinion, who does it more than they should, you know, trying to rush them into rehab and into this and into that, because you feel like they should, first of all, I think it's inherently selfish.Mm-hmm. And then it's not gonna work. And it's selfish because the family member or friend are doing it because they want to feel better. You know, they can't stand to see what we're going through. They want that pain to go away. So let's hurry up and show you into one of these treatment facilities and what the fuck Dillan: ever.That's the only, honestly, just drives a little like wedge between the two. From the, from the person who's using perspective, at least in my personal experience, it kind of [00:47:00] creates like some animosity. To that person after it's over, especially if it wasn't successful . It's like, okay, like what are you trying to interfere with in my life?I'm a freaking adult and you know what I mean? Mm-hmm. . . De'Vannon: So friends and families are people who, by your assessment, you think are doing too much and they may be, the only thing you can do is just be there. Just be like, I'm here if you need anything. You don't have to go support the habits and bring them their meth or their beer or whatever, but the judgment ain't gonna work.it's, I'm gonna work. Dillan: Absolutely not. De'Vannon: Okay. So then as I mentioned earlier, I'll circle back around to, to asking for help. , and I know it's different for everybody, but talk to me about how do we know when it's too much? Is there some sort of sign? Is it an inner voice? Do we clearly, if you can't hold an erection and you're, and you're pissing in the bed, that might be an indication, right?With alcohol, I know [00:48:00] it can like fuck with your blood pressure too, which can also fuck with an erection. So what, what, what do you, what are your thoughts on asking for help and when to know when to do? Dillan: I think for, just for anyone, it, it's just so, it's such a unique journey that if you're thinking if I should ask for help, it's probably time to ask for help.I mean, when I was Googling free rehab, no insurance, Like gay, I can't stop drinking queer rehab, like that, that when you start Googling stuff like that, that's when you probably should start finding help and seeking help. Likeand I was like searching things like I, like I would type in the Google search bar, Reddit, so I'd get my Reddit results. Reddit. Drinking every day. No erection, peeing, bed. People like me, . . De'Vannon: Okay. Dillan: No, there's no one like that. I can't find that anyone's talking about that. Yeah. No. [00:49:00]Okay. Probably an issue. De'Vannon: So then maybe this is like your subconscious, maybe like your body reaching.you know, in a way cuz like the fingers are doing the typing and the mind's doing the working, but it hasn't yet clicked that the time for help has come somehow. Yeah. Dillan: I it's just, like I said, it's very personal. There was plenty of times where I wanted to do something about it and I didn't truly in my heart think I could.I think whenever I gave myself my own confidence, I faked it. I just, you know, fake it till you make it, honestly works. Some with manifestation. I said, you know, I got this. I'm the shit I'm, and that helps me. That helped me a lot, just like not talking so down upon myself and telling myself, oh, but you need it, but you can't do without this.You can't do without this. And instead just being like, you got this. You're fine. You're great. You're doing perfect. You're able to, just reframing the way I would talk to myself in my, the little voice in my head. [00:50:00] Just, you know, telling him to stop saying mean things and just start saying only nice things.And try and just make it a little better in my head and clear out the cobwebs a little bit. I think that helped a. De'Vannon: Whatever you can do. And another thing that will help people a lot is listening to the Silver Gay Podcast, . Dillan: Yes, please. . God. De'Vannon: God knows we need alternatives to to the anonymous movement.It's okay. So then the last thing we wanna talk about we'll, and then on a super positive note, like some silver celebrities you live, look up to. Dillan: Ooh, who I love RuPaul. I mean, RuPaul, I've not a, I love RuPaul's show. He used to have a show a podcast called What's the Tea? And I used to love listening to him talk about his sobriety and like the way he, he taught me one of my favorite, you know, comebacks to when someone offers me a drink now.So when someone offers me like, Hey, can I [00:51:00] get you a drink? Instead of going to this long, like, oh, I'm sober. Cuz who the fuck wants to hear that when they're trying to have a good time? I just say, oh, I've had enough. Thank. That's it. That doesn't go into anything. I don't have to explain anything. I don't have to go anywhere with it.I've had enough. Thank you. And like I just, RuPaul is one of my favorite sober celebs by far. And not even that like transparent about, he doesn't even really talk about being sober as like his main thing. But he's been sober over 20, 25 years now, I think. Yeah, I De'Vannon: didn't know that. But that comeback is, is like It is a polarizing statement and it's one that works in your favor because if someone were to try to overcome that statement, it would be somebody who's disrespecting your boundaries.Dillan: Absolutely. Yes. Yes. And then, or they could just take it as a joke and let, but yes, you're right. It's a polarizing statement in that, in that sense that you can't, you can't have anything bad to say to it or else you're gonna be the bad guy. , right?[00:52:00]De'Vannon: absolutely. So I love that. I love everything about that. Dillan: Oh, thanks. I've had enough . No further explanation De'Vannon: right now. That enough may have been 20 years ago that I've had enough, but you don't need to know all that . Dillan: Yeah, yeah, right.De'Vannon: Okay, so, so you see people, even the rich and famous are celebrities. You know, a lot of times in Hollywood, you know, you know, they catch a bad rap, you know? when we see in God bless her, you know, like Ms. Lindsay Lohan or, you know, certain, certain people,you know, but not everybody, you know, in, in, in Hollywood is on like their fifth and 10th dui. You know, some people actually don't do drugs and you know, and you see a lot of movies like Studio 54. , the Andy Warhol diaries, you know, whatever it is that you wanna watch. [00:53:00] And there's always a lot of drugs and, and alcohol the way Hollywood is glamorized, you know, but not everybody, even on the big screen drinks or takes drugs.Dillan: Right. And it's, there's a lot of people don't even realize that I made a sh we made an episode going through all of the people that were sober and I can't remember a lot of the names off the top of my head right now for some reason. Just cause I'm not, I don't really, I'm not very good versed on a lot of.Unless I care about them . But there are so many, there are so many out there that don't drink or do anything and they still just get their job done. . De'Vannon: That's not to say they're not doing everyone now, honey. Right, right. talking about getting, getting your freak on . Holly, we, Holly. Weird . Okay. There's a lot of sex in Hollywood.Hell's yes. Okay. So that wraps up our delicious discussion here, but I'll let you go ahead and have the last word [00:54:00] of wisdom, whatever you'd like to say to this globe. Dillan: Mm. Oh my goodness. Wow. I think my last word of wisdom that I would just like to share with the world is to always think for yourself and question any feelings that you don't feel are right.And that can work with anything . De'Vannon: Amen and amen. Y'all's name is Dylan Gay from the Sober Gay Podcast. The website is the sober gay.com. You can find them at that website on Facebook, YouTube, but primarily Instagram. I look forward to having Dylan back on the show. Thank you so much for coming on today.Have a rocking weekend, my friend. Dillan: Thank you. You too.

All this information will go in the showy notes, as it always does, along with any of her social media and stuff like that. She has a fascinating FAQ page on her website too, and which will answer a lot of your questions about hypnotherapy and hypnosis.So then let's dive right into it. Tell us about the history of hypnotherapy. Elaine: Oh, that'd be great. Thank you so much. You know, a lot of people think that it's only been around for a little while, but it's surprising that it's been around for over 5,000 years. In fact, the first evidence of its use was back in Egypt over 5,000 years [00:03:00] ago.And back then they called them sleep temples. And these sleep temples are where they went and they utilized an expectation and an overload, and a lot of the same tools that we use today. Interesting. Anyways, it continued to evolve, it continued to grow in different cultures, and it spread throughout the entire world.And fast forward a few thousand years to the 17 hundreds, this gentleman, his Dr. Anton Mesmer came along and he was so excited about it, and its medicinal opportunities and possibilities. He actually named it mesmerism, and that's where they, you know, if you think of the word, I'm mesmerized. That's where it came.Anyways, fast forward his fir, his followers, they continued to make progress and it continued to grow and evolve. At this point, it was mostly be mostly in the European countries, France, Germany, et cetera. Then in the early [00:04:00] 18 hundreds it really expanded as more and more, more and more medical applications were discovered.For example, anesthesia, sciatica, and lots and lots of really surprising results, which made them even more excited about this. You know, seemingly new technology, but it is literally a new application and they kept finding more and more uses. So then they called it lucid sleep. But in the mid 18 hundreds there was this gentleman, Dr.James Braid. He said, Wow, wait a second. I can use this for emotional connections to physical illness. And I think this is more like hypnosis, so I'm gonna call it hypnotism. And it basically, that's a Greek word for. It was sort of a light state of trans. So anyways, more and more evolution, more studies, more scientific.The scientific community really got on board at this point, and there were a lot of medical applications in the 18 [00:05:00] hundreds. And then by the late 18 hundreds, it was actually being ca taught in universities, medical universities. As part of their actual training in the 19 hundreds, it really started to expand.Many of you have heard of Dr. Sigman Freud. He's the founder of psychoanalysis, and he started dabbling in hypnosis for the purpose of mental health issues. And he was an early pioneer in that area. Now he also had a number of followers and they all started to expand it and grow it in the. Field. In fact, it would come to be called Conscious Autosuggestion.It's had a lot of names over the years Anyways, it was used widely in World War I and World War II for trauma, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and other war related emotional and mental illnesses. Now, in the 1920s, you might remember that was the beginning of, you know, [00:06:00] vaudeville and things like that. Well, stage hypnosis really.Stage at that point, and that exploded the awareness of hypnosis. And the, one of the, one of the people who went to one of those, those events, one of those shows, his name was Dr. Milton Erickson. Now, Dr. Milton Erickson, he suffered from polio, and so he decided to use some of these techniques for his own physical and emotional ailments that he had.And so he went on to become probably the foremost, one of the foremost doctors of hypnotherapy in the 20th century or in the 19 hundreds. He called it behavioral modification. And he, again, he moved on to greatness. Now in the 20th century, the later 20th century hypnotherapy, Hypnosis Motivation Institute came along in 1968 and it's been going alive and well now for well over 50 [00:07:00] years.And it is now called hypnotherapy. And it's awareness, it's acceptance, it's therapeutic and scientific value continue to grow exponentially. And as applications are continued to be discovered more and more, it's, it's use and its acceptance and its validity and its effectiveness. Grow and grow and grow.And that brings you to today and who knows where it's going from here. De'Vannon: Right. And then you mentioned the Hypno Motivation Institute. I just wanna let everybody know that, you know, our school was the first accredited school in the country for hypnotherapy. You got some good ones out there, you got some bad ones out there, you really, really do.But this one was the first. Elaine: Yes. Can I add a little bit to that? By all means. Oh, good. One of the things, I mean I've been affiliated with the school for over 20 years, since the turn of the century. Anyways, I've been affiliated with the school for a long time, and not too long ago they came up with a degree [00:08:00] program and it's in mind body psychology.And so now, not only was it the first and only nationally accredited college for hypnotherapy, then it became, you know, when other schools started you know, jumping onto the bandwagon while we're now the first degree oriented. And so it has jumped into the realm of mind body psychology, and it is taken it exponential.De'Vannon: So, yeah, how about that? I might have to go back to school, y'all. I Elaine: know. It's, I just graduated. I now have my degree and I am very, very happy. Oh, congratulations De'Vannon: girl. Elaine: Clinical hypnotherapist, . Anyway, so that's, De'Vannon: so there is, there's modalities of within hip and therapy, so I want people to know that it's not just hypnotherapy solid, like, so say for instance, neurolinguistic programming, nlp.Super popular. I know people who have like just NLP [00:09:00] licenses, but I learned how to do this when I was in school for hypnotherapy. So can you mention some of the other modalities? Elaine: Sure. Well, let me talk about NLP or neurolinguistic programming. Dr. Milton Erickson was one of the, the guy who was very, the doctor that was really prominent in hypnosis.He was one of the very earliest proponents and subjects that the people who developed NLP used as a subject. So he's been involved with NLP since, Well, he was involved with NLP since its beginning, and it's an incredible method. It's how you do what you do and mix together with the behavioral modification aspects of hypnosis.It's sort of like a hand in a. But there are many other techniques that are used. For example, therapeutic imagery. A lot of people are familiar with that. And it's basically talking to the subconscious and finding out what the subconscious needs because all behavior comes from the [00:10:00]subconscious. There are other techniques like emdr, e, f, T, and those are tapping methods that you can use.There are hundreds of different methods and modalities and more and more discovered every day. Biofeedback inner child, just loads and loads of them. De'Vannon: Okay. Kick ass man. So tell us about your personal history. What got you into hyp hyp hypnotherapy, and what are some of your personal qualifications?Elaine: Thank you. I appreciate that. I am a clinical hypnotherapist and I am a senior staff instructor over at HMI Hypnosis Motivation Institute. And I, most recently, and I, again, I mentioned that I just most recently got continuing my education. So all through the years that I've been doing this again for, so for, you know, for a long time I'm continuing to grow and learn and evolve.And so I have been in this field [00:11:00] since you guys probably remember nine 11. It was a little bit of an emotional time, and it was a little bit of an up evil in this country. So a lot of people were kind of at odds. Well, right before that just prior to that, my life, my personal life was turned upside down.In the late 1990s, my husband at that time, about 20 years, he became very ill, and we almost lost him, but he had a long hospitalization and happily recovered and we're alive and kicking today, which is great. But in the, in the year 2000, I'm so grateful. In the year 2000, that's when everything hit the wall.My in a span of two months, I lost my father. In May, June, I lost my sister-in-law suddenly to a heart attack, and in July, I lost my mother. Well, I realized then that I was a helping, caring, sharing person because I was the primary caregiver and I realized there's more to life. So I had a bigger purpose and [00:12:00] I knew that my marketing executive days in the highly successful but very toxic environment of the entertainment business were, they're numbered.So I did my own recovery work and discovered hypnotherapy to be one of the best things since slice bread. It literally helped to change my life. So that's, and then fast forward to today, I'm still doing it and I'm loving it every last minute of it. De'Vannon: You know what, there's nothing like trauma to, to push us into our destiny.Into our futures and everything like that. It happens that way so much. Elaine: It's so true. It's so true. We go through a really traumatic experience. Basically what happens, people come to hypnosis and hypnotherapy when the drama, trauma, discomfort, pain, fear, whatever it is that they're in, becomes more untenable, more scary, more uncomfortable than the fear of whatever [00:13:00] the change might be in hypnosis.And so when people are courageous enough and call a hypnotherapist and say, Yikes, I need help. Can you help me to feel better? It's because they're so Exhausted. Feeling exhausted. You know, they're traumatized. They want to feel better. They want quality of life. I mean, it's what turns a lot of people around.I know that Devon and you and I have been working together and you were in a place of, you know what? I'm tired of dragging along the old stuff that I used to have and I don't want it anymore. It's not serving me anymore. And so hypno asy therapy because we're behaviors and because we help people by accessing the power of our subconscious mind, that's what helps us to make changes so much easily, So much more effect.because we are using not only our conscious, but our [00:14:00] subconscious, you know, our conscious thoughts and our subconscious motivation. De'Vannon: How much of our mind is subconscious versus how much of it is conscious? Elaine: Be a little bit surprising if you knew for, for your viewers and your listeners, imagine in iceberg, you know, when you see an iceberg and you see this pretty big iceberg, well, it's pretty big, but that's about 10 to 12% of the whole mass of the iceberg.So that would be representative of the conscious mind, all the part that's below the water, the part that you can't see, that 88 to 90%, that is our subconscious, that's our autopilot, our habits, our motivations, our behaviors, our emotions, all the stuff that we do without thinking. If I was gonna throw a ball at you, you would not think about ducking or moving to the left or the right, because your subconscious is there to protect you and to keep you safe and alive and well.And so once you learn something, [00:15:00] it becomes part of your automatic behavior. But what ends up happening is we might learn something like, for example, someone RA raised in a war zone, they may learn that loud noises are a bad thing because that means a bomb is dropping in their front yard. But after a while the war is over, they're going along and having a nice life, and then a car backfires and they are completely sorry for the word triggered.They're totally activated again. And then what ends up happening is it's almost like they are that child completely. And that's a tangible example, but that's basically what happens. Maybe you learn something as a child that worked for you when you were a child, when you were in a danger zone, but today that danger doesn't exist.But your behavior and your habit, the stuff that's, that 90% that's still alive and well and your subconscious until we go in and we replace it with something [00:16:00] else that you want more. And that's how it works. De'Vannon: Absolutely. Fantastic. So let's talk about some of the myths within the hip, hip hypnosis field.Tell us what it, how it, how it can be presented falsely. Then what it actually is. Elaine: Absolutely. Sometimes people, you know, you know, I talked about a little bit about it being on the stage, the stage hypnosis, and what happened that it screamed to popularity because it was something that was fun to watch and you could really dramatize it.So people would think that you have to bark like a dog or clock like a chicken. Or after a hypnosis session, I'd call you up and I'd say, Rosebud, and you'd run out and kill somebody. Well, the fact of the matter is hypnosis is a natural state. Everybody is in hypnosis a couple of times every single day.Like for example, when you're driving in your car and you're just going along the road and your [00:17:00] turn was over there, but you were focused on the road. That's a state of environmental hypnosis. It just means that you're focusing here and you are the things around you are starting to, you know, melt into the background.It's a natural process. It's a relaxing process. Someone in herm hypnosis is never out of control. They're never made to do anything that they don't wanna do or say. Anything you don't want, they won't say. And you know, it's been around for over 5,000 years and they have been com per, I don't wanna say perfecting it, but they continued to improve it and found more and more effective ways to use it.And the scientific ev evidence behind it is compelling at this point. And so there are hundreds of different ways that people can use hypnosis. It is something that it's a behavioral modification process, and, and everyone is hypnotizable. Now. Some people will feel, you know, everybody [00:18:00]experiences hypnosis differently.Some people have a light and tingling sensation. Some people feel relaxed and calm. Some people feel like they've gotten eight hours sleep in 15 minutes, but some people don't feel any differently at all. It's all good. Everybody experiences it differently. Now. A lot of people, they don't even realize that they're hypnotized, but the hypnotherapist, a qualified hypnotherapist, can tell that you're hypnotized.They'll let you know along the way what's going on, what to expect, what not to expect, and you know you are right with them. You could get up at any time, but most people don't want to because it's a very, very comfortable feeling and it is a participatory process. And what that means is the hiphop therapist.Our job is to help the client to come up with different strategies, different ways of doing things, new habits, new behaviors, different ways of thinking about it, seeing it. And different models, if you will, [00:19:00] for conducting their lives. And then the hypnotherapist will help to jumpstart that process by helping them to achieve the state of hypnosis.And then once they do, then the hypnotherapist will give the client their positive suggestions. And so like when I'm doing a hypnotherapy session, I'll keep notes of what the client says because I know what the client is the most open to the words. So I will be giving them their words. And then the client does their part by, in between sessions, they practice those changes.And the more they practice those changes, the more quickly change happens. And as I mentioned before, it's, it's so effective. There's hundreds of different ways that it can be used more and more each day from things like pain management. A lot of people use this for comfort, and in fact, those were a lot of the earlier applications.My areas of specialty are more on the levels of the emotional areas. For [00:20:00] example, anxieties, fears, worry, guilt, maybe a fear of success. A fear of failure is very, very common. Having to deal with the unknown, the uncertainties. But then there's also the things that most people have heard of, like breaking bad habits like smoking or body your nails or things like that.But while you're breaking those bad habits, you're shifting them to ones that you would prefer to have. And so instead of saying, not biting my nails, my nails are beautiful. My nails are growing, or instead of saying, I'm not successful in my job, I'm flourishing. I'm creating all the goals, I'm manifesting all the goals that I want.And so it's the, It's moving to a can do attitude as opposed to, I can't. And so and also, you know, you mentioned this earlier, trauma, ptsd, the things that happened in our past, you know, [00:21:00]dysfunctional childhoods, family systems, some of the beliefs that we had, sometimes our history, maybe we were raised in a, in an environment, sometimes culturally, sometimes religiously, sometimes in, you know, difficult situations where there were a lot of things that were present then that are not present now.And so it's a matter of replacing those old strategies for survival with ones that work today. And also, and this is the part that I like the best, because people have a tendency to, with hypnosis, they build their happiness, their self-esteem, their self-confidence their inner balance, their wellbeing.Kind of a state of zen. It's just a really wonderful state of balance and comfort in your life, and that's one of the reasons why those are some of the reasons why I love it so much. Hell De'Vannon: yeah. I'll take all that [00:22:00] shit. Okay. I'll give video1877255118: it Elaine: all to you. I'm happy to share that with you De'Vannon: and look the world, y'all can have it too.So I wanna talk about, go back to that word you mentioned overload, because then I want you to explain like the the snap that you use often in hypnosis. And my favorite takeaway, what I learned from when I was in school, the way they explained it to me and the reason why, like, like you say, everybody is hypnotizable.They were explaining like, so when we go to the. You know, like if I turn this television on behind me and I, it's Halloween almost, and I put on a horror movie and the big titty girl's about to run, she's running through the woods. And of course I know she's gonna fall and she's gonna get slaughtered by the buggy Man.Happens every time, every Halloween. But my post is that's not gonna, that's because I know that, Cause I know it's fake. It's not gonna stop my pulse from racing. My heart is gonna accelerate. I'm gonna feel fear for this dumb ass bitch because, and I know she's gonna die every Halloween, but I'm still gonna like feel that way [00:23:00] anyway because my mind is in a state of overload and my consciousness cannot discern, you know, reality from fakeness.And that's kind of. You know how, what's going on here? So explain to us how overload is and what that has to do with how you gain access to the subconscious. I Elaine: love that. That was a great explanation cuz you were talking about all of the elements all rolled into one. I had this overload, I had this expectation, I had this anxiety, I had this heightened awareness.I'm hyper suggestible. That's what we call it in hypnosis. And what happens is we get all these messages, all these messages, all these messages, and it's like, it's like Chinese water torture or something like that. It just goes over and over. And then eventually what happens is we get this overload of message units and we're filled up to the top.And eventually what we do is we escape into hypnosis. In other words, We need to get out of that [00:24:00] overload place. And so what we do is we call it escaping into the state of hypnosis. And then when someone, it's called the peak of your suggestibility. So you're going up, up, up, you're getting more and more and more overloaded and more message units, more information, more whatever's coming.And then when I smack my fingers and say deep sleep, I'll say deep. And then all of a sudden that's if you weren't over the edge yet, you're over it now. And then once you go over that and you escape into this bliss, you know, it's like you're going into this amazing warm pool or this, you know, wonderful blanket or whatever it is.You just go into this amazing state of relaxation. And at that point, the hypnotherapist is, you are open to the suggestions that has opened you to opened your subconscious to receive the suggestions, the barriers that we're trying to keep you from going into that state of hypnosis. [00:25:00] Those barriers have come aside, they've been pulled aside, and your subconscious is open.It's not unlike, and it's really kind of an interesting parallel now in this state of sleep when you're actually physically asleep at. The same process is happening, but you are in an unconscious state. Your subconscious is open. All the information that came in during the day that you've been keeping on hold in a holding pattern.It's all getting mixed together with what you know, and in the natural process, your subconscious is pulling it together and mixing it all together and creating new behaviors and new habits. So the process of hypnosis, and we call it hypnosis, which means sleep. You're not really asleep, as I mentioned.You're more aware it's in a state of subconscious. So it's between the conscious state and the unconscious state is this place called subconscious, [00:26:00] and that's where your subconscious is open to these suggestions. Just like when you are in a sleep state, only you hear everything that's said and your subconscious is actually mixing all the new information that comes in and mixing it together with what you already.And in the state of hypnosis, we give your subconscious permission to let go of those old behaviors and habits while we give you the new suggestions and the new ideas, the ones that have been stuck up here in the holding pattern where the conscious mind is. And that's how we create that synchronicity.De'Vannon: Does that help? That's, that's one of my, Yes, it did. Thank you so much for, for offering that synchronicity, ity, all of those sort of words, all this love event. They're so intense and so beautiful. Just beautiful in the most intense way. So, so yes, I've been, you know you know, seeing you for, I don't even know how long cause time goes by so fast, but [00:27:00] my, my favorite, you know, and I, and I came to you.You know, because I, during the course of my training for hypnotherapy, I realized that the voices in my head that had been guiding my life really were not my own. I still had the voice as a church in my head. I had the voice of the military in my head, the critical voice for my, my, my abusive of dad, you know, in my head and everything like that.And then, and like in my relationship with my boyfriend, I'm hearing myself speak the same, the same critical negativity that, that those three entities spoke to me. And I'm going, Wait a minute. I know better than to say that and to do that. Why am I acting this way? And why do I feel these insecure feelings and things like that?And so I realized that I was, even though I'm almost 40 years old, I was still under the influence of things from when I was younger. And so now people will always hear, hear me say, It's important for you to know why you think what you think is important for you to know why you feel, what you feel, [00:28:00] why you believe what you believe, and not to accept every thought and emotion that comes to you, no matter how intensely it presents itself without registering that it's actually authentically yours.Mm-hmm. . And and there are people who I pose a question to. They have a very strong belief on something. I'll go, Well, why do you believe that? Or why do you think that? And they can't render a reason, you know, And I, and I don't wanna let myself be that way. The most beautiful experience that I've had since, you know, starting hypno, the hypnotherapy with you, is I had a dream.And in this, in this, in this field of healing, the early morning dreams are a very important way that the subconscious will vent messages and healing and things like that. Those early morning dreams is something you'll hear every qualified hyp in the therapist talk about. And so I had a dream of myself as like, it was like my adult self and I went into like this burning house , like this burning house that was like on fire [00:29:00] and I found like my five to seven year old self in there.And it's like I was trying to get him. To get out of this house. And I couldn't, I couldn't get him out of the house, but I, but I kept trying to reassure him and I kept telling him, You know, it's not your fault. You know, it's not your fault. You know, it's not your fault. I kept telling him, You know, it's not your fault to try to get him out of this goddamn house.And I couldn't get him out of the house in that dream. But just the fact that I went on this search to find myself and to give myself reassuring words, you know, is a good indication that I'm headed in the right direction. And so for me, that was the most, the most beautiful manifestation of the benefits of hypnotherapy so far.Elaine: Oh my gosh, I remember that. You know, it's interesting when you were talking about that you discovered that you had new tools that, if you don't mind, I'm just gonna you a little feedback on that. You discovered that that little boy, that was you, the five to seven year old, [00:30:00] that was when a lot of the trauma was going on in your past.You know, it just happened to be a pivotal time when you probably felt the most helpless. And so what it was was the adult, you going back and trying to rescue that child and get him out of that, now that you couldn't bring him out to me, was you were letting go up The notion that he was trapped because it was a venting dream and a venting dream means that you're letting go of old behaviors and habits.I'm not, he's not trapped anymore. I've got him, I've got this. Does that, does that make sense? De'Vannon: It does. I did feel a strong sense of like, I may have cried in this dream or something like that, but it did feel very, it did feel very cathartic. You know, when I woke up, you know, it stuck with me for, you know, for quite a while and I did feel a strong sense of release.Elaine: Yes. Yes. It makes sense. I know that that [00:31:00] was when we were turning some corners. You know, it's so interesting because the subconscious in speaking of that, the subconscious communicates in symbols and images and contrary to popular belief, cuz you were talking about that critical voice that we think comes out of the subconscious, the subconscious number one goal is to keep us alive and well on the planet.Every single thing that it learns and does is with whenever it learned it, it knew that it was good for you, you or anybody else. And so it will always bring up stuff. That you might have a learning or an insight or in its, you know, five year old mind thinks it's good for you. Like, for example, you grew up in a critical household, and so drinking the Kool-Aid for, you know, for lack of better word, but buying the symptoms of what was going on actually did help you [00:32:00] just survive.You know, whether it was the church, whether it was the military, whether it was your parents, whether it was any number of situations and scenarios, you actually survived your childhood because you developed those coping mechanisms. But then you said, Why am I still doing this? Why am I still with the critical voices?Well, what ends up happening is that those critical voices, by the way, this is a fun fact. Any of that negative self-talk, absolutely zero. That none of it, not one word originated from you. None of it. And that's an astounding fact because what happens is we're born thinking we're all that, we're like the king of the hill.We are like the, all of that. And that's part of our survival mechanism. We only learn those negative words because someone has given them to us and we, and we buy that because we believe at three [00:33:00] years old, four years old, five years old, that that's what's going to help us survive. And so, you know, I fondly call it self flogging.So I beat myself up and as an adult, because I remember that when I would be beaten up negatively, you know, with negative words as a child, it was the motivator, it was the stick that got me going. But what ends up happening is it becomes counterproductive. You know what I mean? Does that make sense? De'Vannon: Yeah.Ain't ain't no good shit gonna come outta negative self talk, but you know. But it takes us so long to realize that it, that it's not us, you know? And we hold on to the negative sometimes more than we do the positive. You know, we repeat the insults rather than the confidence and stuff like that. But because it was that way doesn't mean it has to always be that way.Exactly. Elaine: Well, the thing is, is, and you know a lot of people, why am I still doing this? And I beat myself because I'm beating [00:34:00] myself up. But if we remember that that was something that we learned to help us, then we can practice some acceptance. The word that you were looking at, the one that you were talking about, acceptance of my thoughts and my emotions, because it's trying to help.So if your, if you know, if your clients, and I know that you also practice immunotherapy, your clients, if they are understanding that, that scary thought or whatever, if they realize that it's something to help them and they accept it, that it is there to help them, All of a sudden you're looking at it instead of as a bad child, a scared child, you know, for example, If that makes sense.And so when we start looking at it differently, we start having compassion for ourselves. It's one of the most amazing shifts. And I know that you have had this shift, and that is instead of motivating [00:35:00] myself with the stick, I'm using compassion, I'm using acceptance, I'm using kindness, I'm using love, reinforcement support.All of the words that you have, you have evolved and developed to say, you know what, you, you got this. And what different motivation. Right? So, awesome. So I need to say congratulations to you. You've done some major work. Well, De'Vannon: thank you. And you know, we got plenty more to do and so you know, so let's, so let's, so let's talk about what we're gonna work on today.So yes, y'all, you're gonna get to see Elaine do a little pre-talk, and we're gonna do like kinda like a progressive relaxation, sort of hy the therapy session so you can get like a taste of what it's like. This isn't gonna be anything too extreme, you know, in a, in a, in a, in a larger environment, you know, we would talk, I would go lay in this super comfortable chair.There could be use of different sound devices, be it the [00:36:00] beautiful wind chimes behind her pendulums, you know, you know, and all kinds of things to help to, you know, get the mind into hypnosis. There's all kinds of tricks the hypnotherapist has in their bag and they are quite colorful, but they're all to help you.And so today I would just like to keep working on, you know, the, you know, this child and everything, you know, just speaking against those, those negative voices. You know, fear, you know, trepidation. You know, feeling overwhelmed, you know, in my businesses, you know, and things like that. Lately I've been feeling like I don't, you know, I'm not qualified to do all the things that I'm doing, and then I don't have enough.Knowledge or wisdom or know how to take, you know, the, this podcast to the next level or to really market my book, you know, or to do those things. Because as I'm trying to go forward in these industries, I'm trying to open doors and industries I've never been in before, and I'm, and I'm, and I'm starting to get the you know, [00:37:00] you know, you know, it, the, these industries seem to help those who are already there more so than those who are trying to get into them.So Elaine: I know it's the catch 22. You gotta have to get it, You gotta get it to have it. De'Vannon: Yeah. Right? And, and so, so, so lately I feel like I'm just knocking against like, you know, a new ceiling that I've never tried to knock against before. I'm trying to push this thing open and it's just not happening. And I'm trying to remind myself, you know, You know, I'm not really in control of the timing.It's gonna happen when God wants it to happen. And I have, I've done quite a lot. I don't think I'm really given myself enough credit for the amount of work it took to get this podcast where it is, this book, find me on this shelf. And sometimes I can fall into this trap of focusing on what isn't versus rejoicing over everything that has happened that led up to this point.And I've been like that a lot and it's been very discouraging, you know, And I've been wondering how I'm gonna move forward so I could do [00:38:00] a little encouragement on today. Elaine: Okay. That's wow. Okay. Now some of this is probably gonna be a little bit of a repeat because I know that we've done some work together and I'm so glad that, see you noticed I'm focusing on what isn't instead of what is.But it flies in the face of my early childhood training that I have to focus on what isn't, because I have to figure out how to make it right, whatever it is. And it's usually pretty vague what I have to do. And oh, by the way, if you don't, you know, if you're not doing it right, you're gonna get a whooping or you know, you're gonna get a whatever it is.And so it's easy to go back to that old thought that if I focus on what it isn't, it will somehow or another propel me to make it is. Right. And you've obviously done so much work on this, [00:39:00]you know, that to focus on the, you know, I always call it as the glass half empty or half full. You know, it's either one or both, Right.If it's half empty, that means you're focusing on the part that isn't. If it's half full, you're focusing on the part that is. You know, you've heard the con the comment, you're a hundred percent successful in what you focus on. I mean, that's the little engine that could, It's the good Wolff and the bad wolf.It's all those different stories. And so what we do is we start shifting our consciousness toward what we want. And so I heard some words, and I'm gonna repeat them back to you. Okay. So I wanna, I want to talk to that child and speak to the part, and you said a guess, but we'll talk to the part that's still afraid and that's part of that, you know, we call it the inner child.But there was, that's that part I'm afraid, that [00:40:00] trepidation, you know, I'm, I'm afraid, do I have a parachute? You know, am I gonna jump off this clip? And am I gonna, you know, crash on the rocks? Or am I gonna soar the overwhelmingness because there's a lot of unknowns? Am I qualified? This is all new to me.How in the world do I know I'm qualified? You know, So I'm looking at what I'm not well, but I'm opening doors. But then I know this is, sometimes I call 'em the yts. I'm opening these doors. Yeah. Butand we do that. We all do that. I call 'em little rabbits. They're yts. They run around . So what happens is we're focusing on, we say Yeah. Logically in my mind, I know I'm opening new doors. Yeah. But it's new. Yeah. But I don't know which way to go. Yeah. But I have a ceiling. Yeah, but there's a brick wall, right?Mm-hmm. . So let me shift that a little bit. Yes. I see the [00:41:00] ceiling. I see it. I now recognize that that ceiling, in fact, you can see the water marks on the wall where the ceiling used to be a lot lower. Right. But I see the ceiling, it's gotten higher. It's gotten higher and it's gotten higher, but there's still a ceiling there.And I recognize it and that's okay because I, That is a metaphor for, there's still stuff that's unknown. What's on the other side of the ceiling, What's on the other side of the door? I don't know. So, and I'm not in control of the timing. I wanna be control of the timing. I want it to happen when I want to happen, so I don't have to worry about it.Yeah. , right? Yeah, exactly. And if you find that I want that magic pill, please, . But I'm here to tell you that hypnosis hypnotherapy helps us to shift our thoughts [00:42:00] away from those old thoughts. That happen. Auto, they happen automatically. Remember we were talking about the subconscious? That's where our habits are and our behaviors are.Well, that part is the vast majority of our conscious thinking. And so what we need to do is we need to get those conscious thoughts. Like for example, you know that thinking positively, you know that succeeding is good for your survival, right? But yet you've got those yts underneath. So now what we wanna do is we wanna identify for a moment what is, is I do want.Okay. Not what I already see. I see the fear, the trepidation. You overwhelmed. What is it that I do want? We wanna identify what that is. What does that look like? De'Vannon: I want to be accepted in these new arenas I'm trying to get into. So I wanna be, [00:43:00] you know, I want greater acceptance in the author. World, you know, as I, you know, try to deal with different marketing companies or different publishing houses, or different review agencies or, you know, different things like that, you know, you know, I wanna find that tribe where alternative podcasts, like mines that are, they're explicit, you know, and things like that are accepted because a lot of popular, you know, podcasts and a lot of popular podcast circles are very conservative or business oriented, but this is very, you know, culture, very edgy, very, you know, very fucking real.Mm-hmm. , you know, but very fucking real isn't always accepted in a lot of popular places. And so, so I want, so I wanna find a place that Elaine: work, Excuse me, time out. Yeah. Okay. Because we, we, we started to go back into the negative, and I'm saying that just because it's our natural process. Okay. It isn't accepted in [00:44:00]a lot of places.Right. Right. Pretty much a, that's like a no brainer. Would you wanna be in those places? De'Vannon: No, I don't. I didn't think so. Elaine: those places are not you, , that's like going, you know, like if you wear really expensive clothes and you go to a sl, you don't fit, Right? I mean, or, or vice versa. So I want my, and, and this is something that's really important for everybody.I want my pack, I want my community, I want my comrades, I want my tribe. I want to attract and be attracted to those people with whom I have a common interest. I know that De'Vannon: I took a word. That's what I meant to say. That's exactly what I meant to say. . I had a feeling, Elaine: so, And, and I, Okay. Just kind of a little bit of a sidebar.I knew that that's where you had, because we've had a lot of history together, [00:45:00] so I, I, you know, I took a little shortcut there, but Yes, that's exactly right. And so that's a really good thing. And we also used it as an example. So I'm her, I'm hearing that you want acceptance in new arenas, for example, as an author, as a marketing person in the publishing companies.In the agencies, these are new places that you are breaking into. Yes. Yes. Okay. But in addition to that, I want my tribe, I want to feel that I'm part of a community that is there to help. I mean, there to, you know, you guys have common interests. It's a new culture that you wanna be in. Right. Right. Okay. All right.So is there anything else that is part of your, what your inner child needs to hear?De'Vannon: No. [00:46:00] He just, Okay. He, he's good. He's just, he just needs to know he's, he's good enough and to be patient, he needs to understand that patience is a good thing. . So, No, Elaine: that's good. Okay. You know, if we have this presupposition that our subconscious is constantly working for our benefit. Yes. Now here's the cool part about it.My conscious mind can go do the research and they can do all of the different things and it can knock on doors and it can do all of that stuff, but it's only about 10 to 12%. Right. So what would happen if we got our subconscious on board to help? Would that be a good thing? Yes, it would. Yeah. Cause it basically what you're doing is you're super charging it.Now, if we know, and it's, it's an absolute non-negotiable fact that our subconscious 100% of the time is here trying to protect us and keep us [00:47:00] alive and well and working toward our goals. There is absolutely no other option. All right. It just is because otherwise we would not exist as a species. I mean, literally it comes right down to that.Okay. All right. So I know that I learned some things that were other people's beliefs. I learned that those things were good for me when I was five to seven years old, and they were great for that. But now I'm trying to unlearn those and I'm knowing that I. I have really reached a lot of goals. I have really accomplished a lot of goals and, you know, we could go on for days with that because, you know, I know that you know a lot of the goals that you've reached, and so now I'm seeing the next steps is moving toward acceptance in the new areas that I'm researching [00:48:00] and attracting a greater, a greater community of like-minded people.Is that fair? Okay. Mm-hmm. . Now, how do you know that you're good enough? What lets you know that you're good enough?De'Vannon: I, I would say a feeling. My first thought was once the objective has been accomplished, but I feel like that that's probably, I don't know if that's like the strongest thing. Elaine: Well, that's the art before the horse , right? When you're facing the unknown, fear is an absolutely natural consequence of facing the unknown because it is the unknown and your fear is trying to protect you.So, in your life, can you think of a time that you faced something that was new that you didn't know [00:49:00] and you did it?De'Vannon: I mean, yeah, probably. But you know, thinking back on it now, sometimes it's in a, in that moment, I just feel like I can Okay. Or maybe whatever it is that was presented to me, I, I, I rationalized. Okay, I can probably do this. Okay. Now why? I don't know, you know? Elaine: Okay. Okay. When you were going after that, whatever it was, why, what were you thinking?You knew it was new. Why'd you decide to do it? Whatever it was. De'Vannon: It just felt right. It felt good. Maybe I felt calm, I felt capable, you know, inexplicably, I don't know why, you Elaine: know? Okay. [00:50:00] Is it possible that you were focusing on the goal, you were focusing on the reason why you wanted this goal, whatever it was?De'Vannon: Yeah. I mean, yeah. Yeah. Elaine: So if I'm a hundred percent successful at what I focus on, if my goal is to have acceptance, I'm going to manifest, accept. By being acceptance. Does that make sense? And what is it like when I'm accepted? Oh, by the way, I've had a lot of new, this is you, I've had a lot of new situations where I came in and I wasn't accepted that that moment because they didn't know me.But once they got to know me, once I was able to share my enthusiasm about a ton of it, my energy, my [00:51:00] insight, my knowledge, my motivation, my inspiration, then all of a sudden I found commonalities. Right? But I came in to it. I mean, there's a hundred different examples that I can think of just in my knowing of your history that you have faced.I mean, we could go all the way back to learning to walk. I mean, that's, I wanna go as fast as my mom. I wanna catch up to my dad, you know? That's, I'm thinking about walking. I'm not worried about falling on my diaper . I wanna walk, I wanna get there. Okay. So I know that I can become accepted in areas. I was accepted in so many different areas, but now I'm focused on, yes, I know that there's fear, but I recognize that that's because I'm going, I'm pushing that ceiling, [00:52:00] okay?And that's okay. But what I do have is I have courage, I have tenacity, I have a history of learns and learned behaviors, and I have a history of creating success. And so if I can focus on the little engine, I can, I think I can. And all of a sudden my subconscious jumps on board and instead of 10 or 12% of me working toward my goal, all the stuff below the surface is working toward my goal.And I might even be surprised how quickly change happens, because now, like if I have a, if I have 10 people rowing the boat, instead of only one or two going in the direction I want, I've got all 10 of them. Mm-hmm. , imagine how fast you're gonna get there. Right? Okay. So that's what it's all about. So what we're gonna do is I'm gonna help you to achieve the state of hypnosis, and I'm gonna be giving [00:53:00] your subconscious your positive suggestions.And like I said, there's a, everybody's hypnotizable, you might feel relaxed and calm. You might feel like you've got an eight hours of sleep in 15 minutes. You might just be relaxing with your eyes closed. You may even find that your mind is drifting to other areas. But that's okay because that's your subconscious organizing with symbols and images and saying, Oh, that's like, this let's me, let me add that to the pile.Oh, that's like that. Let me add that to the equation because now what's happened is all these things are moving toward your goal. Are you ready? Mm-hmm. , are you ready to have all 10 ORs in the water going toward your goal? I'm just wondering. De'Vannon: Oh, let it be. I wonder that be Elaine: let it be. I'm wondering if that may already be happening, because I know you have the desire and I know you have the willingness, and I know you have the tools that it takes.I know you're good enough, [00:54:00] and I know you have it. So I'm wondering, as you allow yourself to take a slow, deep breath insoothing, relaxing, releasing, letting go, letting go with each and every deep breath, the body becoming more relaxed and more calm. With each and every exhale, releasing and letting go. Tensions, stressors, anxieties, worries. Melting away the body, becoming more relaxed and more calm, more peaceful, more serene.Soothing, relaxing, releasing, letting go. Letting go. I'm gonna begin counting from backwards from five to zero. And as you [00:55:00] as I do, you may begin to notice the body becoming even more comfortable, even more calm, even more peaceful, even more serene. And we begin at five, taking that next slow, deep breath in, and allow your energy to focus on the area between the feet and the knees.And as you become aware of the area between the feet and the knees, the muscles becoming so relaxed and so calm, so peaceful, so serene, soothing, relaxing, releasing, letting go, letting go. With fours, the body continues going deeper, still a sense of inner peace and calm, and a sense of comfort, and well, As your attention drifts to the area between the knees and the hips, and the area between the knees and the hips [00:56:00] becoming loose and limber, comfortable and calm, a feeling of inner peace and wellbeing.At three, the number of deep contentment, the attention drifting to the area, into the midsection and the vital organs, the heart, the lungs, the kidneys, the liver, even the spine. Relaxing and releasing the tensions and stressors in the vertebrae, one by one by one, and the relaxation. Continuing across the shoulders, down the arms, into the elbows, the forearms, the wrist to hands, negative energy, tensions and stressors, anxieties, worries, melting away, the body becoming more relaxed and more.More peaceful, more serene, and still. And still. The body goes deeper and deeper at to the [00:57:00]relaxation continuing of the back of the neck, the base of the skulls of floating drifting sensation as the mind relaxes and the eye muscles, jaw, muscles, releasing, letting it go, letting it go so that it won the body envelope in a wonderful state of deep relaxation and deep comfort, a deep and peaceful sense of calm, tranquility, inner peace, and zero deep asleep each time.Deep sleep is suggested to you for the purpose of hypnosis. With your permission and only your permission sleeping calmly quickly to this depth or even deeper, the physical body relaxing and the mind. To the positive suggestions, the positive outcomes that are yours. And you know, in your subconscious knows that the time is right and you are aware that as a little boy [00:58:00] there were many messages that you received.Some were positive, some were negative, some were downright mean and cruel. Some motivated you to be led by fear. They doubted your confidence and they created this place of uncertainty. And as weird as it was and an uncomfortable as it was, it in fact helped you to survive the onslaught of that energy that those around you held.But that doesn't mean that the true, authentic, you disappeared far from it. You all the while have kept and held onto that amazing, amazing. As evidence in that dream that you talked about before you're coming back to rescue, that little boy, that little boy that was helpless and was out of control and you were coming back with a lifetime of learnings, and while you woke up not [00:59:00] having released and to rescued him, what that dream represented was that you know that you have what you need.You came back and you were letting go of the fear that you didn't have it. You were letting go of that old belief that you weren't good enough. You were letting that go. And ever since then, it's been a revelation. And the revelation is, I am good enough. I know I have what it takes. I have a long list of successes, a long list of areas where I went into a new situation.We all faced them every day. That you have hundreds, maybe thousands of situations in the past several years where you went into a situation where you analyzed it and you looked at it and you studied it and you prepared, and you recognized and [01:00:00] realized that it was something you wanted. It was something new.You was something that was achievable, and it was something in alignment with who you are, where you're going and on your journey. And you realized that as you were focused on that prize, that carrot, that amazing, amazing accomplishment that you were doing in the back of your mind, even though you didn't know the way, even though you didn't know how, even though you didn't know how long it was gonna take inside, you said, This is important to me.I think I can. I think I can. I think I can. I am trusting that my conscious desire is in alignment with my subconscious motivation. That part that wants me to succeed, that part that wants me to survive, that part that wants me to thrive. And I am fully on board and I don't know what the outcome's gonna look like, but I do know it's going to be something that I want.And so now [01:01:00] as you are at the beginning of this wonderful new door that you're opening, you notice that the ceiling is higher than it used to be, but you want it higher now. You want it higher still. And that's a positive thing. And it's very exciting to be sure. And so as you are looking at this opportunity, you've already opened doors and you know that as an author, as in the marketing companies, In the publishing companies.In the agencies, you've already broken ground. You already have blazed a trail, and you know that it's just a matter of time. And your mind and your body, and your heart and your soul, and your conscious, and your subconscious are all working together now because this is in fact, and I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.And along the way, the tribe, [01:02:00] the community, the commonalities, they're going to find you because they are looking for you to, in your early morning dreams, venting, releasing, letting go, all behaviors and habits from the past, letting them go easily and effortlessly because each day is a wonderful opportunity, an amazing experience, and an event, and an amazing door.That is opening. You don't know how, you don't know where. You just know that all of you is working together and nothing. And no one can stop you now. I think I can. I think I can. I think I can. I think I can. Coming up to one beginning to become more alert and more aware. Bringing with you to two, a wonderful sense of wellbeing, inner peace and [01:03:00] calm as you come up to three, preparing to come back in the room, becoming aware of your surroundings.At four and finally to five. Eyes open, wide awake. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Eyes open, wide, wide awake. Beautiful. You got this?Yeah. De'Vannon: That was probably the most tinged and chilled I felt in a session before. There's a very warm spirit working between us tonight, and I really, really appreciate Elaine: that. Welcome. Thank you. I'm so grateful to be on your journey with you. I'm, it's just as much a gift for me, De'Vannon: so y'all, every time I come out of like hip noses, it's like a, like a, I almost feel like I'm a little bit still there.And I think it is known [01:04:00] that, you know, I don't, I can't remember how it's said right now, but when you, when you're counted up out of hypnosis, sometimes you might still be suggestible to an extent, and so, . I definitely feel like I'm gonna be pretty suggestible for the rest of the day. So Elaine: and, and one of the things to reinforce that is when you have a moment, hopefully sooner than later, you're able to write down your thoughts and get into that journal.Because when you write things down, what happens is you are reinforcing it in your subconscious. It's sort of like when you write things down, it's like a highway to your subconscious. And so give yourself the gift of taking some time to just journal your thoughts and your learnings. And then of course, every night before you go to sleep, tell your subconscious you're continuing this work and your subconscious is all over it.Okay. All De'Vannon: right. I will do that right now. Thank you [01:05:00] so much for coming on this show. Today. Thank you again. Her web, Yeah. Again, her website is elaine peril.com. I wanna put that in the show notes so y'all can reach out directly to her for all of your questions about hypnotherapy that you, that you know, you've always wanted to ask.Well, now you have direct access to somebody who's been doing this for longer than many of you have been alive. And, and I mean that in the best way. So, you know, cause very, very young people been, It's so good. you know, ask her, not me, cuz she knows she, she taught me. So that's a, you can go direct to the source.You can cut out the middle man , Elaine: you're so sweet. Thank you so much. De'Vannon: Any, any final closing words to the world? Pardon any, I always let my guests have a last word. Any words of wisdom or insight to the world that you would like to say?Elaine: The answers that you want are already inside of you. [01:06:00] Sometimes they seem to be hidden away, but together we'll find them as you find your De'Vannon: way,and that's the way we're closing it.

De'Vannon is also the host of the Sex, Drugs and Jesus Podcast and is the owner of DownUnder Apparel - A lingerie and sportswear store for men and women.

De'Vannon's story is one of surviving the social outskirts and finding one's way back to a balanced path. A Little Bit More About De'Vannon:  My name is De'Vannon Hubert and I'm from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Discovering my sexuality while growing up as a Christian in the South wasn't easy, but I didn't get into any real trouble until my own church told me I wasn't welcome in God's house, in my twenties. Dejected, I spiraled into drug addiction and crime, and my drug of choice was crystal meth. After years of living life to the extreme with the craziest drugs and wildest sex I could imagine, my HIV+ diagnosis only told me one thing: Go out with a bang because your life is almost over. Today, my life is a very different story and much has changed. I'm not homeless, I don't think my life is ending any time soon, and I have an evolving perspective of what it means to live a balanced and spiritual life.

When we think of hypnosis, we often think of televised sidewalk performers wandering the Hollywood streets looking for volunteers. You know, the ones willing to miraculously fall asleep within 60 seconds in the middle of a crowded subway station.  Thats not at all awkward right? Well, luckily there is a much deeper and more profound context for hypnosis that isn't tied to entertainment. They call it Hypnotherapy, and no it won't have you on one foot barking like a dog with your eyes closed. That is of course, unless you've had a past life as an animal.    Hypnotherapy is both mysterious and esoteric ; and speaks to a side of us that is deeply curious about the hidden potential of our spiritual journeys. If you've been on your path for sometime, at some point you've pondered the idea of past lives. Especially as our understanding of reincarnation begins to take precedence over a limited christian belief system that we are only granted one life to live; the idea of past lives start to make more sense.  But how do we gain access to these past lives? This is where Lauren Bruno comes in.    Lauren is a hypnotherapist licensed with the Hypnosis Motivation Institute.  A large part of her work involves being a guide to those looking to explore the inward depths of their own past. Both in this life, and in past lives.  The beauty of this practice lies in its ability to help us identify and heal past traumas, to not only understand ourselves, but to understand what also influences us at the deepest levels of our subconscious.  In this episode we sit down with Lauren to discuss many topics related to hypnotherapy and her own spiritual journey!     In this episode we discuss,    Lauren's Near Death Experience  What is Hypnotherapy?  Conscious vs. Subconscious Brainwaves Accessing Akashic Records via Hypnotherapy Releasing Fears & Trauma Journeys Into Past Lives Healing The Witch Wound Jenns Past Life Dream Astral Projection Fears   Full video episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrhZ5iOcuvM   Guest Bio: Lauren Bruno has over 1000 hours of education, training, and experience in hypnotherapy and self-improvement.

— In the field of psychology, attachment theory is one of the principal theories for understanding child development. Beginning in infancy, a child begins to form an attachment with their caregiver(s). In turn, these early interactions become internalized as “internal working models” that can affect behavior as they develop into adulthood. A key concept within this theory is that of attachment styles, which can describe the lasting feelings of trust and affection that characterize the relationship with caregivers. These attachment styles are frequently used as explanations for how people behave in relationships later on in adulthood. Children are born with a predisposition to form attachments to caregivers who are sensitive and consistently available. Sensitive caregiving creates strong, lasting bonds between infants and adults which last into adulthood. It can be difficult for children who have had inconsistent or hostile childhoods to change how they interact in relationships but with the help of a therapist, they can realize how their early experiences have affected them and take steps to correct those problems.  Valeria Teles interviews Saman Nasir — a Healer, Meditation Coach, Certified Hypnotherapist, A Member Of The American Hypnosis Association, Instructor At The Hypnosis Motivation Institute, And Speaker.

— Why would we have a fear of success? Isn't success not something we all want? Well, yes, but turns out, you only want it consciously. Subconsciously, you want something else: To maintain identity and keep yourself alive. In fact, this need to preserve your identity is so strong that your subconscious has no problem sabotaging you to meet that need. The subconscious is often more primitive than your conscious brain. It is not sophisticated enough to understand exceptions. It forms general rules and then protects them dearly justifying it by thinking if it kept you alive this long then they must be treated with the utmost importance. With hypnotherapy, you can get answers from the subconscious and understand the unconscious influences and childhood experiences specific to you and your fear of success. Once we bring them to the surface, we can debunk them to reverse the programming. It is one of the best gifts we can give ourselves to free us from these distorted fears.

Welcome to The Bliss Project Podcast! In today's episode, we chat with our friend Erika Marcus. As a hypnotherapist, her greatest joy comes from seeing positive change and measurable growth in people's lives. Her mission is to help people re-discover their inner superpowers and support them while they use their gifts to create the life they deserve. She received her BA with Honors from the University of Florida and graduated with Honors from the Hypnosis Motivation Institute. She is also currently an active member of the American Hypnosis Association. Erika believes that in a judgment-free zone, and supportive space, her clients are welcome to bring anything and everything that weighs them down. We are all on our own unique journey in life and sometimes it gets complicated. Even with the best intentions, we find ourselves needing help to remove blockages, ease spiritual wounds, and move forward with our lives. Ten years ago, after being diagnosed with a long-term illness, she went on a journey of healing. Traditional medicine treated symptoms that often resulted in many unwanted side effects, all while not getting to the root issue. She believes true healing is possible and it is vital to our wellness to look at our healing holistically. The mind-body connection is powerful and if our mind is healthy, our body follows. Alternatively, trauma is often held in the body and hypnotherapy is an effective way to release, transform and re-write your life script. Personal development and healing through hypnosis has transformed her life and she is honored to be a part of each client's journey and she is privileged to help them create their own transformation in health, growth mindset, relationships, and career. In today's episode we will be discussing: What is hypnotherapy and what drew Ericka to this path? Her own personal journey and how she became an advocate for her own health. Some of the tools she uses today in her own journey. Why she felt it was important to shift her path and be of service.

Hello, My name is Adrianne Bernadette, a Clinical Hypnotherapist with the Hypnotherapist's Union Local 472 and a member of the American Hypnosis Association. I utilize Hypnosis, Prayer, Meditation as well as other Holistic healing modalities to recreate emotional balance for a fulfilled life. I believe the natural healing properties of your mind, body and spirit, create emotional wellness, a form of healing that considers the whole person-body, mind, spirit ,and emotions for optimal health and wellness. Whether it is the achievement of a personal improvement goal or the urgent need to find a healthy more fulfilling life path, the therapeutic use of hypnosis, imagery and mindfulness is the most powerful resource known to comfortably and efficiently assist you in achieving your goals. In 2017 I received my B.A. in Psychology from the Union University & Institute, at the same time I was studying and training at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute located in Tarzana, California, a Nationally Accredited Hypnosis training College and Clinic for Hypnotherapy. During my clinical hypnotherapy internship, I worked with the Director and key Senior staff members who lead me in combining everything I had learned on my own path in combination with the clinical hypnotherapy skills and certifications I had acquired. In 2013 MBUSD and Community Matters introduced The Safe School Ambassadors® Program, the nation’s most effective student-led bullying prevention program where I became a trained family facilitator representative for two years. In 2016 I was humbled by the bravery of young children who experienced death, as a volunteer for The Gathering Place, an extension of Little Company Mary Hospital in Torrance, California. Staffed by licensed professionals, graduate-level mental health interns and trained volunteers, I will never forget the focus support groups that specialized in bereavement services for adults, teens and children. The mission to encourage healing, health, strength and confidence in those who have experienced death. It was the hypnotherapy that helped me discover and more importantly access the powers of the subconscious mind, One by one, from personal goals and habits to deeper issues of self-love and prosperity vs scarcity beliefs, hypnotherapy delivered what felt to me, an organic, rapid, yet comfortable path to the life goals and purpose I was seeking. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thriving-in-chaos/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thriving-in-chaos/support

Hi all, Welcome back to another episode on the MindCep Podcast and in today's episode we have a very special guest named Dr. John J McGrail joining us today. This episode is brought to you by Radioguestlist.com, the #1 free radio, guest, podcast, and talk show guest expert interview booking service. Dr. John McGrail is more than a clinical hypnotherapist. He is an established self-improvement expert and a sought after spiritual teacher who has become one of our country's leading media experts and public speakers relating to personal growth and successful life transformation. His company, A Better You, Inc., serves a world-wide clientele; individuals of all ages and backgrounds, as well as select corporate clients. Services range from individual sessions, to motivational presentations, training seminars, and workshops. Dr. McGrail earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Cornell University and received his certification in clinical hypnotherapy at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute, the nation's first federally-accredited college of hypnotherapy. After graduating with honors, he went on to earn a PhD in Clinical Hypnotherapy from Breyer State University. In addition to hypnotherapy, Dr. McGrail is also certified in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic-Programming), Time Line ™ Therapy, Therapeutic Imagery and EFT. Dr. McGrail's passion for helping people overcome the sometimes debilitating fears, limiting beliefs, and other issues that prevent them from living life to its fullest potential, led him to develop a unique and powerful process, the McGrail Method of Quantum Synthesis, or more simply, Synthesis. Synthesis represents an amalgam of Dr. McGrail's lifelong study of the human condition and spirituality, more than 30 years of teaching and coaching experience and countless hours in private clinical practice working with thousands of clients. It is a true fusion of art and science, wisdom and practice; a blend of 21st century science with shamanic traditions in use for more than 7000 years. Throughout our interview, Dr. John teaches a hypnotherapy technique that is simply doing 21 short breaths to help relieve stress and feel better almost instantly. Dr. John mentions that the main difference between meditation and hypnotherapy is meditation is maintaining change and hypnosis is quick mental changes we can make to help aid in providing mental clarity and better focus. Dr. John mentions how our brains need continuous reinforcement to create and cultivate positive change in our lives. Dr. John J.

As time went on, I felt like my goals were only inches away from success and I was doing everything right. It was a gut-wrenching blow when the project I was working on, despite my best intentions, fell apart and my life with it. I woke up soon after, feeling like a failure in all aspects of my life, I found myself saying “What happened, what went wrong?!? Did I pour my heart and soul into this just to have it ripped from my hands?” I didn’t know what to do, but I did know I needed clarity, direction, and help to continue to move forward. I took it one day at a time and ended up on a path to find my way out of the darkness - that path led me straight to The Akashic Records.   When I discovered the Records it was as if a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I was able to recognize that producing TV and film was my passion, but that project falling apart had a force much bigger than me behind it – it wasn’t my fault, it just wasn’t a fit. Through the insight of the Records, I revealed more wisdom into what makes me tick, how to find true peace and happiness in the journey, and above all else trust myself more. I recognized that I had to choose me, I had to put me first, take care of me first, and detach from the outcome – hold the vision and trust the process. Through this amazing awakening through The Akashic Records, I realized that since they had brought me so much peace and clarity to take the steps forward I needed, I wanted to help others do the same! If I could wield this powerful tool to help others step out from the shadows and into their greatness, then that is what I wanted to do! I decided in that moment to become a Certified Akashic Record reader so I could also help people see what they couldn’t see, to give them the courage and clarity needed for themselves - so that they can live a truly inspired life, to be as successful, happy, and as great as I know they can be!   I can tell you that everything happens for a reason, but in that moment of darkness the only spec of light was The Akashic Records. The ability to help people and illuminate their path has been so rewarding. I know that I wouldn’t be where I am today if I hadn’t stepped out of my comfort zone and done something different, to really take the time to understand my path and the lessons that were set before me. Working with countless clients and students over the past few years has been so fulfilling, words cannot express how deeply honored, grateful and humbled I am to share this work.

She opened her professional practice in 2008 and loves every minute she is working with clients. The transformational changes in their outlook are measurable and very rewarding. Since opening her practice, she has continued her training and certification with courses in Weight Management, Emotional Freedom Technique, Handwriting Analysis, Smoking Cessation, Fears and Anxieties, Grief and Loss, Sports Performance, Pain Management, Therapeutic Guided Imagery and Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

She uses fear as a motivator, not a reason to play safe in life. “As a therapeutic hypnotist and doctor of psychology, I know for a fact that we are all born to win. We learn to fail, and what we learn, we can un-learn.  Therefore, I work to clear away the  negative programming, undesirable  habits, and limiting beliefs to free the  inner winner in my clients.” Dr. Nancy Irwin graduated from the Hypnosis Motivation Institute in Tarzana, California with honors and the Director’s Award.

Hailing from Kenosha, Wisconsin, she has always had larger-than-life ideas and a hunger and motivation to change the world! As an adult, she has held onto the magic and childlike knowing that anything is possible with effort and dedication, a wis-bit she instills in everyone she meets. ​ Cristina loves helping people transform their lives. Fascinated with hypnosis since she was a child, she would make-believe-hypnotize friends and family members. As an adult, her interest grew serious when she saw the incredible results of hypnotherapy as compared with traditional therapy. She went on to study Hypnotherapy at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute, the only accredited hypnotherapy school in the nation. Cristina holds Masters degrees in both Psychology and Educational Foundations and is a Certified Addiction Treatment Specialist.  ​ She designed and implemented a prevention rehabilitation program for inner-city youth at juvenile correctional institutions in Los Angeles County, and has worked with adult prison inmates to reduce the recidivism rate upon their release into society. A multi-faceted healer, she has studied countless alternative modalities and is especially skilled in NLP (Neuro-linguistic Processing), Pranic Healing, Reiki and Meditation. ​ A perpetual student of The World, Cristina is always challenging herself to learn and try new things. In addition to owning, operating and practicing at Liberate Emporium and Liberate Hollywood, she is the founder of the tech travel start-up company Xplorer and her own non-profit organization Motivate Humanity. Last but certainly not least, she is a writer and producer of many conscious media projects in hopes of positively impacting society, most notably the franchise film animated series Trekkie, which is dedicated to building wildlife reserves around the world.  ​ No matter what it is you’re seeking to transform, Cristina can set you on the path to freedom. She gets to the root of mental, emotional, physical and financial struggle. With a gift for getting into your unconscious mind, Cristina will effectively change the way you think, behave, and live your life. Get ready for big, positive change!     ABOUT JEROME ALI As an Organic Empath, Jerome has always been drawn toward healing practices and the ways of the unseen. When he was a child, he enjoyed listening to his Grandmother's dreams which always seemed to come true. Soon after, he felt the harness of responsibility as his own thoughts and feelings also began to come eerily true. Receiving cognitive, spiritual and energetic guidance, Jerome learned to identify the subtleties between clairvoyance and clairsentience; specifically the difference between his own thoughts and feelings those belonging to the energies around him. ​ After having followed the footsteps of his parents into the field of psychology, Jerome began looking to alternative forms of therapy. It was Clinical Hypnotherapy that most grabbed his interest, especially after learning that roughly 88% of human mental activity is subconscious rather than conscious, and can therefore best be addressed through Clinical Hypnosis. ​ Jerome has also helped numerous clients reach their goals in various stages of life through the Remind the Mind hypnotherapy practice. His friendly demeanor and attention to detail help clients gain a better understanding of the decisions they make, and why they make them. As a Hypnotherapist, Jerome works in both clinical and educational capacities, specializing in multiple disciplines including Insomnia, Weight Loss, Anxiety, Relationships, Test-Taking, Motivation, and Hypnosis for Children. ​ Jerome offers intuitive oracle readings, and also offers Aka Dua, a subtle form of energy healing from the Toltec culture of Meso America that is in the same broad family but distinctly different from Qi, Prana, Reiki and many other forms of energy healing. He is also incredibly knowledgeable in the realm of crystal healing and regularly prescribes specific stones to help his clients shift energetically.

New research shows that migraine sufferers have an increased risks of cardiovascular problems including heart attacks, stroke, blood clots and an irregular heart rate. A large study conducted by Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark and Stanford University here in the US looked at over a half million people, both migraine sufferers and non-migraine sufferers. For every 1,000 patients, 25 patients with migraine had a heart attack compared with 17 migraine free patients and 45 patients with migraine had a blood clot related stroke compared with 25 migraine free patients. The findings prove that a history of migraine headaches should be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and events. Read the study!   Follow us on Facebook! Tweet us on Twitter!

 Success is Not An Accident In Episode 34 ( Episode 34 - Click the link here ) we discussed the Subconscious Mind, how it is created and how negative and limiting beliefs can be trapped there from a young age. These negative and limiting beliefs can be replaced with positive, success-oriented beliefs. One of the chief techniques I teach in the Goal Achievement Success System is a program I learned as a Hypnotherapist. The Mental Bank Concept was developed by the founder of Hypnosis Motivation Institute, Dr. John Kappas, where I studied hypnosis and hypnotherapy techniques. In Episode 35,  Episode 35 Click the link Here, We discussed how your subconscious mind could be killing your dreams and goals and how to stop it using the 6 Ingredients for Success. The 6 Ingredients are the required concepts to understand how to affect the subconscious mind using the Mental Bank program. Let's do a quick review of the Mental Bank Concept and the 6 Ingredients for Success: Dr. Kappas developed "Success is Not An Accident, the Mental Bank Concept" after 35 years of practice, helping many of his patients change their subconscious mind and achieve their goals and dreams. The Mental Bank Concept Beyond use of Positive Thinking Subconscious mechanism that causes things to happen, causes us to make things happen. Works because of unconscious power or energy we have within us. Biggest Challenge will be to follow through. Not a get rich quick scheme, an overnight program, or positive thinking. It is steady incremental change. The Mental Bank Concept is like recipe. All ingredients are necessary for success. The Ingredients for Success are: 1.  Must come to believe in the power of the subconscious mind. 2.  Daily Reinforcement 3.  Symbolic Language to communicate with the Subconscious Mind. 4.  Ideomotor Response 5.  Magic 30 Minutes 6.  Drop it into Your Dreams Why Can't I Achieve My Goals Last episode I asked: If you are having problems achieving your goals; Why?  If you can't seem to get that dream job; Why? If you can't seem to double or triple your current income; Why? How many of you deposit Thousands of dollars a day in your checking account? What would your brain think if it did?  Would you worry about money? Let’s change the signal! Today we're going to talk about How To Change The Signal! How to replace the negative, limiting beliefs you may have with positive beliefs that will set your subconscious mind to the Goal Machine you want it to be. I'm going to show you how to set up your own Mental Bank account that will help take your subconscious mind and your goals to the next level. The material I am going to cover today is not easy to grasp on a podcast, which is one of the reasons why I have not presented it here, until now.  I am working on putting together a Webinar and Online Course for this series.  But, since we are getting close to the end of the year, I want to at least present it to you on the podcast. Now, I will encourage you to go to our Podcast Show Notes at GoalGettingPodcast.com/mentalbank to check out the graphics and to download the material I will be covering today. The Mental Script Contract In the 9 Steps To Successful Goal Achievement, one of the steps is Commitment. To be successfully set goals that you will be able to achieve, you must be willing to make a commitment. I used what I call Goal Getting Promissory Note to help you create that mental commitment in my book. This is because when we sign a promissory note, it is a commitment, a promise to repay something.  We are making a commitment to ourselves. In the Mental Bank Concept, we are doing the same thing. We are going to make a Contract with ourselves to change our mental script, the programming we have in our subconscious mind. The Mental Script Contract is an integral part of the Goal Achievement Success System.  As we mentioned in the Ingredients for Success, the use of longhand, cursive handwriting is important to these processes.  Our goal is to bypass the subconscious minds, critical mind filter through the use of ideomotor response. In the Show Notes Page is a sample Mental Script Contract. You can check it out. I have placed a link on the image so you can download the worksheets we will be talking about in this episode. Write your Mental Bank Contract to arrive at your yearly income goal.  This is called your Mental Bank Goal. Your Mental Bank Goal should be 2X your current annual reality income! You will arrive at this goal by paying yourself an hourly rate for “Value Events” that you will define. I've attached a table on the Show Notes Page to show you how to calculate your Mental Bank Goal and the Goal For the Mental Bank Balance. To give you an example: if your current income is $40,000 then your Mental Bank Goal will be $80,000 and your Goal for the Mental Bank Balance will be $320,000 or 4 Times your Current Income. Your Current Income Mental Bank Goal Hourly Rate Goal for MB Balance $10,000 $20,000 $20 $80,000 $20,000 $40,000 $40 $160,000 $40,000 $80,000 $80 $320,000 $60,000 $120,000 $120 $480,000 $100,000 $200,000 $200 $800,000 Value Events To build our Mental Bank balance we will be performing "Value Events" and paying ourselves an agreed upon value for each of those events. Now, what is a value event?  If you listen to earlier episodes where we taught the the 3 Keys to Successful Goal Achievement, you will recall that we defined The What, The How and The Why. The What defines the goal(s) we want to accomplish.  The clearly defined, written goals. The How defines the action steps that need to be taken to achieve the goals. What do we need to do to achieve your goals. The Value Events are these steps. You will want to define the tasks that you would need to do.  Let's look at some examples: I produce a podcast and I want to gain more listeners. To do that I need to product new content and good content. Some of the tasks that I have as Value Events are : Writing Show Notes Recording Episodes Posting Episodes Recording Interviews Editing Interviews Whatever your goal is, you will have specific tasks that will need to be accomplished to move forward toward achieving your goals. Value events can be anything that will help you achieve your goals. This can be activities such as entering you Mental Bank Values each night. You should pay yourself for educational activities, seminars, reading books.  A Value Event is anything that provides value to your journey. I've put an image of the Value Event Log for you to use to enter the amount you will pay yourself for each activity. For each Value Event you can pay yourself an hourly value or a flat fee. If the task takes time to perform, then you should pay an hourly fee. If it is a one and done type of activity, then pay a flat fee. You must write out your Mental Script and list your Value Events in your own longhand. You will do the Script only once until you achieve your Mental Bank Goal. You can change the Value Events at any time as often as you like. Set your Mental Bank Goal - Set your Value Events What are your goals?  Prosperity, Health, Happiness, Success Work through the Goal Setting Worksheets to define The What, The How and The Why. You Can focus on one area, or balance your events across multiple areas. What about you? What are some Value Events for you? Don’t pay for things that are automatic. Pay for what moves you forward. The Magic 30 Minutes I mentioned in Episode 35 that the Magic 30 Minutes are critical to this process.  The last 30 minutes before we go to sleep are our most suggestible time and the time when Homeostasis is weakest.  The purpose of this timing is to get these new thought processes and beliefs through the Critical Mind Filter and into our subconscious mind and then into our precognitive dreams. It's important to get everything else we need to get done in bed before we go to sleep done (ahem) then right before we get ready to go to sleep, start the Mental Bank Ledger. **Note for those of you that have a TV in your bedroom and listen to the TV while you go to sleep. As I mentioned, this is our most suggestible time and the easiest time to put things into our subconscious mind. What are you going to sleep to?  The 11 O'clock News? The Mental Bank Ledger Now that we have set up the key Value Events that we will perform and track we will begin entering them into what Dr. Kappas defined as the Mental Bank Ledger. The Mental Bank Ledger is used to track and measure the Value Events and the values you pay yourself. The ledger is just like a bank ledger where you build a bank balance. The ledger will be used nightly during the Magic 30 minutes. I've attached the an image of the Mental Bank Ledger for you to view and study on our Show Notes at GoalGettingPodcast.com/mentalbank The Mental Bank Ledger consists of three parts: The Ledger Mental Bank Happenings Mental Bank Investments / Affirmations The Ledger Mental Bank Goal The Mental Bank Goal box is where you will enter the Mental Bank Goal that you set as 4 Times your current income. There are seven columns on the ledger.  The Date Column is self explanatory. You will enter the date on each page for each Value Event you performed. Value Event You will list The Value Event you completed that day from your list of Value Events. Rate The Rate column will be used to enter the amount you will be paying yourself for each event. #HRS In the #HRS column enter the number of hours you performed the event. For example, if your value event was to attend a workshop that was 3 hours long, then you should enter value of 3 in this column. You will pay yourself 3 X the Rate you defined for this event. If you are paying a Flat Rate, you would leave this column blank. Deposits The Deposits column is where you will enter the total amount of value that you will be depositing for each value event. Reality Income The Reality Income column will be used to enter the amounts of Reality Income you earn and are paid. For example if you earn a biweekly salary of $2000, when you get that paycheck, you will enter that amount into the Reality Income column. When we get to Reality Income, we are going to Subtract the Reality Income value from the totals.  Yes, I said subtract. We want to subtract any reality income to include salary, lottery winnings, debts paid back to you, etc. Count any income that you receive while doing this program and when we total the values, you will subtract this amount from it. Mental Bank Balance Each night, you will bring the balance from the previous day forward into this column. It's just like balancing a checkbook or keeping totals in your bank account. . . except you are doing it by hand instead of using technology. It's important to do this in your own handwriting. Do set up a spreadsheet to calculate this. We are working on changing the subconscious mind and doing in such a way to bypass that critical mind filter. In this column, you will be adding all of the values for the Value Events you completed today. Remember to SUBTRACT the Reality Income values from the total. Don't add it in. Once you complete the totals for the day, you will then go to the bottom of the page, or back side if you filled the entire page with Value Events..... (That would be a good day!) and WRITE the following, again in your handwriting (Let's say for example that you added up a total value of $37,975 for your Mental Bank Balance for that day) "As of this date, I have earned and accumulated a Mental Bank balance of  Thirty Seven Thousand, Nine Hundred Seventy-Five Dollars." THEN SIGN IT!   Yes, Sign it. This is part of the Commitment. The mental process of signing your name to the document symbolizes your agreement with it.  You are attesting to it's value and authenticity. Mental Bank Happenings Everything that comes to you is a result of your subconscious mind! Each day we are going to write about all of the positive things that occurred to or for you that day. Reinforces all of the POSITIVE things in our subconscious mind.   Do not write negative things. Start at whatever you can think of!  Some examples that I once used were: Date Mental Bank Happenings 1/18 Got up early enough to go to the gym and worked out for an hour.   Had a great breakfast with the Chairman of the County Commission   Signed an exclusive deal with builders in a New Home Community   Everyone loved my Goal Getting Seminar at First Knight Realty   Weighed in less today than yesterday. Write these in your handwriting as well. Mental Bank Affirmations / Investments This is a Dual purpose section. Investments is advanced function of MB. Don’t worry about it until after 1 Year and have a good balance. Affirmations are positive goals that we are stating that we want to achieve. This is where we write the things we want to happen to us or for us during our journey to achieve our goals. You will write down 2 Affirmations each night! Try one for several weeks. These can change over time.   Some examples I've used in the past are: I will take five Loan Applications this week. (This is a literal affirmation where I state exactly what I want to happen.) Five of my applications this week came for First Knight Realty. (This is an inferred affirmation, another way of putting things to the subconscious mind. It infers that I took five loan applications this week.) A couple more affirmations in a literal and inferred tone. I will make ten database calls tomorrow. I have scheduled five meetings from the ten calls I made. You will do these affirmations each night, demanding to your subconscious mind that you are doing these value events, these tasks that you must do to achieve the goals you are setting. Once you complete the Mental Bank Ledger, Happenings and Affirmations, Close the Book. Stop writing. You are finished. It's time to go to SLEEP. Don’t forget to subtract the Reality Income!  You can go into negative….That’s a good thing. Once you reach your goal, rewrite your goal.  You should always have a new goal. Keep growing. Friend, Are you going to get past Homeostasis?  It will be tough!  You can hate it, it is only 2-3 minutes a night. I know how hard it can be. I miss it more than I like to think about. But, You Just Have To Do It! This is a proven system, developed by a man who worked for over 35 Years working with people and their subconscious. I have been doing it for over many years working on specific goals that I have had. I have Increased my income from $10K per year to almost $200,000 one year without a college degree.  That was one of my goals. I wanted to become a CIO for a mortgage company. I achieved that goal using this program. I wanted to lose weight. I went from 296 pounds to 210 Pounds using this program. Recently, I wanted to change careers. I started using this program to set myself up to achieve my goal to move into a Social Media career.  I achieved that goal this year.... 2 years sooner than I expected. It is SIMPLE! Don’t make it hard. Simplicity is the clue to effectiveness.

Your Mind is Killing Your Dreams! How to stop it now.   In our episode last week ( Episode 34 - Click the link here ) we discussed the Subconscious Mind, how it is created and how negative and limiting beliefs can be trapped there from a young age. These negative and limiting beliefs can be replaced with positive, success-oriented beliefs. One of the chief techniques I teach in the Goal Achievement Success System is a program I learned as a Hypnotherapist. The Mental Bank Concept was developed by the founder of Hypnosis Motivation Institute, Dr. John Kappas, where I studied hypnosis and hypnotherapy techniques. Dr. Kappas developed "Success is Not An Accident, the Mental Bank Concept" after 35 years of practice, helping many of his patients change their subconscious mind and achieve their goals and dreams. I began studying the Mental Bank concept along with learning more about how the mind works. I wanted to to learn how to change the limiting beliefs in my own mind and wanted to set myself up to achieve my goals. What were my goals? I wanted to make more money than I was making. I wanted to have a better career. I had been working in minimum wage jobs or positions that weren't where I wanted to be in life. I had been in Law Enforcement, worked a rigging truck, delivering supplies to rigging teams at construction sites, worked in grocery stores, worked delivering glass for a glass company and driven limousines for an airport livery service. All minimum wage or just barely above. Certainly not the kind of work I wanted to do, nor the income I wanted to earn. When I started using the Mental Bank Concept, I was earning about $10,000 per year working low wage jobs. I will show you the method I used to take my income from that $10K annually to over $150,000 annually, without a college degree. I had been studying many of the motivational speakers and successful people to learn how to achieve those Big Dreams they talked about. I believed in The Power of Positive Thinking and always tried to thing positively and live a positive life. Being positive and believing in myself still didn't seem to help me achieve my dreams. The Mental Bank Concept Beyond use of Positive Thinking Subconscious mechanism that causes things to happen, causes us to make things happen. Works because of unconscious power or energy we have within us. Biggest Challenge will be to follow through. Not a get rich quick scheme, an overnight program, or positive thinking. It is steady incremental change. The Mental Bank Concept is like recipe. All ingredients are necessary for success. The Ingredients for Success are: 1.  Must come to believe in the power of the subconscious mind. Subconscious mind is a goal machine. It always achieves what it is programmed to achieve. Good news and Bad news! Good News It can achieve whatever it is programmed to do. 98% of day is automatic. Bad news is you are responsible for the bad, the bad luck, etc. We create it all! You can't do anything until you accept it. It is a signal that comes out.  Delivers exactly what we ask for.  We need to learn to change the signal. What's Stopping Us?  HOMEOSTASIS - The innate drive to stay the same. Dr. Kappas developed program to take these elements in a new and unique way that takes only 2-3 minutes per night. You have got be able to overcome homeostasis for 2-3 minutes per night. Change happens incrementally. Not in one session. Question is, can you do it? 2.  Daily Reinforcement Every day reconfirms it's belief about you. Every day you are in the situation you are in, it affirms where you are. If we are going to change we need to challenge this on a daily basis. Think of mind as bucket of water. Put a pebble in the bucket. Water doesn't change. But, the more and more pebbles you put in, it will eventually be no water in the bucket. Limited Mind Script - Homeostasis Floor and Ceiling. We will only go as far up as the script is then it will send us down until we get to low point and then it will then motivate us. This is different for all of us. We need to send new signals, and we need to do it every day. 3.  Symbolic Language to communicate with the Subconscious Mind. Must talk to the subconscious mind in a language it understands. Dr. Kappas selected the Dollar Sign ($) and numbers (1,2,3,4…) In our culture, the $ symbolizes success and prosperity. The mind is digital ( a big computer ), recognizes that 4 is more than 2, that 10 is more than 5. But we had to deliver this language to the subconscious mind. Hypnosis does it with a guided method. But, that can be cost prohibitive.  So, we ave to be able to do it by ourselves on a daily basis. Tapped into the back door to subconscious mind. 4.  Ideomotor Response Automatic behaviors that we do everyday. Breathing, talking, etc. Dr. Kappas chose Handwriting! Use Longhand to deliver this on a daily basis. Why handwriting? You can't duplicate someone's handwriting. (A signature or short note) An expert can detect a forgery. Handwriting Analysis (Behavioral Graphology). Personality doesn't just come out of handwriting, it goes in. 5.  Magic 30 Minutes Naturally occurring state - Last 30 minutes before you go to sleep each night. Put it in at Homeostasis’ weakest state, your most suggestible state. If you change the signal, you can change the outcome. 6.  Drop it into Your Dreams Take this new signal and drop it into "Precognitive Dreams". Deliver this on a daily basis. Your life is attempting to predict your future. Your Subconscious Mind hates unknowns so bad that it would rather lie to you than accept unknowns. If you try to guess what someone will do, what do you base it on? What they've done. That's what the mind does. It does what it is use to you doing.  You know the old quote from Thomas Jefferson, "If you want to change where you are, change what you are doing." [bctt tweet="If you want to change where you are, you have to change what you are doing. ~~ Thomas Jefferson"] Your mind is like a boat with Autopilot. What does it do? Go off course for a while, then pushes you back, Go off the other way, then pushes you back. Your mind is like the autopilot, when you get off your "Course", it has to push you back "on course". If you are having problems achieving your goals; Why?  If you can't seem to get that dream job; Why? If you can't seem to double or triple your current income; Why? How many of you deposit Thousands of dollars a day in your checking account? What would your brain think if it did?  Would you worry about money? Let’s change the signal! Next week we will go over How to Change Your Signal by using the Mental Bank Method. I will show you how your brain can use the Magic 30 Minutes to change your signal from one of limited beliefs to Success-Oriented, Goal Achieving beliefs that will reset your Subconscious Mind to Get The Goals You Set.

Weight Loss is a Tough Goal – A trained hypnotherapist from Hypnosis Motivation Institute.   Norcross, GA,  Founded by Dr. John Kappas in 1968.  Website Link on Show Notes at GoalGettingPodcast.com Hypnotherapy Internship for a year. Stop Smoking, Weight Loss, Relationship Counseling, Behavior Modification, etc.Studied Weight Loss Therapies –  Hard because there are so many components to a person’s weight.  Many psychological factors can affect a person’s weight.  I saw and read several case studies for example of women, who had been sexually abused as a child that had taken that abuse inside and her subconscious mind had developed negative, limiting beliefs that affected her future relationships and her weight.  One example was a severely obese woman, who had been abused by a family member.  She had tried diets for years, joined gyms, etc., but never could lose the weight.  Frustrated, she went to a hypnotherapist for to stop smoking, and in conversations with her therapist, it was revealed that she had been abused as a child by a family member and as they got into the therapy learned that she was overeating and her subconscious mind was generating triggers to her when she tried to enter a relationship with someone, it set her up to overeat or eat the wrong foods so that she was protected from men.  If men didn’t desire her, she wouldn’t have to be in a relationship or worry about intimacy with men.Now, this is an extreme case and not the norm.  Just because someone is overweight, doesn’t mean they were abused as a child or as an adult, but it does occur.There are other factors where the subconscious mind can be programmed with Negative and / or limiting beliefs that can affect a person’s weight.  I was raised as a child at a time when several times on TV (they only had about 3 networks at the time, so you couldn’t get away from it easily) around dinner time, a commercial for United Way or CARE would come talking about the Starving Kids in Biafra, with photos and videos of emaciated, bloated bellies of little kids in Africa.  Pleading for money to feed a child for 25 Cents a day.My parents and grandparents would often tell us kids at the dinner table: “Finish your plate, there are starving kids in Africa.”  Kids don’t understand, and seeing that poor child on TV we didn’t want to end of like that, so we cleaned our plates, even if we weren’t hungry or hated the food (unless you had a dog in the house that you could secretly share your food with).The other common programming is when parents give their kids food to quiet them down, or get them to behave.  Again, bad behavior on the parents part.  As you get older, the subconscious mind is triggered to use food as a comforting release.  Why do you think they call Wonderfully Fattening things Comfort Food!  The subconscious mind can control a lot of these things that affect a person’s life, especially their weight. The problem is often just Habit - bad habits.  We start doing something and then continue it because it becomes a habit.Habits are hard to change.  I'm a Stress Eater.

Sweet TreatChanging habits is hard. - Even last night after 3 months in new house, I turned out of BART to go towards my old house.“Rather, to change a habit, you must keep the old cue, and deliver the old reward, but insert a new routine.” ― Charles Duhigg, The Power Of Habit: Why We Do What We Do In Life And BusinessEasiest Way to changing a Habit is changing the Routine.  CueI need to work on NOT letting things stress me out - Another episode Routine - Keep something healthier around that you like - put somewhere you have to go Hunt to get it I take a trip to the Eagle Cafe in the building next door (company café)Go Find “Hidden Apple” – or something else that is healthy Pick out a nice Apple or twoSet up a routine to prepareKnife & PlateSlice Apple into thin slices, to eat like chips or cookies….RewardMMMMMM - Sweet TreatThis is The key to Taming my Tiger, What about Yours?  Do you have bad habits to affect your weight?  Do bad habits effect other areas of your life.1.    Determine what your Cue is!  What Triggers you .2.    Define what your current routine is 3.    What is the Reward?  What do you get out of the completion of the Routine?  Change Habits by developing healthier routines. When you tame your tiger, You'll be happier and healthier. “Typically, people who exercise, start eating better and becoming more productive at work. They smoke less and show more patience with colleagues and family. They use their credit cards less frequently and say they feel less stressed. Exercise is a keystone habit that triggers widespread change.” ― Charles Duhigg, The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business
