Show notes:
- Root cause medicine.
- Subconscious patterns can keep us stuck in our destructive behaviours which doesn't allow us to get maximum benefit from our lifestyle & nutrition changes.
- Men can tend to stand in the shadows for fear of being ridiculed.
- Feeling safe is essential to change!
- Triune brain - the 3 checkpoints of the brain. All information that comes into our senses has to get through all 3 checkpoints to be deemed safe. Our emotion then creates a very powerful subconscious program which fires up instinctively in the future when in the same scenario potentially causing distress. Dealing with conflict, intimacy, etc.
- Joe Dispenza & Bruce Lipton identify that we only operate from this limbic part of the brain 5% of the time. Therefore we largely operate on autopilot.
- If changes that happened yesterday didn't kill us the brain registers it as safe, whether it serves us or not.
- Understanding this survival mechanism is the first step. Awareness is key to understanding this primitive mechanism & moving beyond it.
- Through awareness you create your own power of what needs to be changed.
- Alcohol numbs the limbic brain which offers reprieve from processing the emotions.
- Men can break the stigma of showing emotion by getting intimate with what they are feeling. Feeling a sense of empowerment by consciously choosing.
- Increased disease in the lower 3 chakras is common with men, due to how men are operating or suppressing themselves in today's society. Our survival mechanisms are housed in the lower 3 chakras (eg. erectile dysfunction, colon cancer, prostate issues, testicular cancer, adrenal issues - correlate due to stuck energy in the lower chakras).
- All problems stem from miscommunication. Time & gentleness is needed by women to move through change.
- Everyone can benefit by giving themselves permission to work on themselves.
