it really just sounds like utilizing whether it's 30 minutes or an hour before bed to really transition your state, right?

Because you're going to marinate in whatever that state you last were awake in.

And that builds momentum in ways we don't even realize how much it builds momentum.

And then we wake up in ways we're not even privy to.

It's going to continue to infuse that energy

you know and so it's like if we want to live a life filled with joy and gratitude then releasing which is that forgiveness stage which you first said um those those chains and ties we have to people events and situations in which we have resistance to throughout our day in many ways it's almost like the last illusion because we always think it's like me i i am forgiving the other person but really it's like this inner process of of letting go right and and just

continuing to not perpetuate the state of pain within us.

Yeah, I'm such a big fan on crafting our environment as we create our environment and then our environment creates us in many ways because there is that sense of entrainment happening on a reciprocal fashion, right?

So it's like, if we can create an environment in which we're mostly spending, which is our home,

um to be conducive towards more of those coherent energies and then when we go out in the world we can be a sense of entrainment you know as people have talked about being in the presence of of awakened beings alone not talking not working through practice or philosophy just alone being in the presence of something um that tuning fork starts to affect the vibration of the of those that are around it um and so yeah i think it's just such an important takeaway to

to craft an environment around you that is conducive.

People are very strong influences on energy, right?

And so we can learn how to protect our own energy, but then we can also learn how to be the one who's in training versus just the one who's being entrained.

Like choosing to consciously spend time with people who are in that more of just like that clean energy is so valuable, so needed.

And

difficult choice at times when you feel like, especially earlier on your journey, you're starting to wake up to these truths and you're surrounded by people who have just no idea about it for better or worse.

And again, it goes back to that point of death and rebirth in terms of our relationships.

In my experience, the more you put these insights into practice, the more that like no reason happiness comes about.

Most people don't need a reason to be pissed off and sad and frustrated about life.

And we don't need a reason to be joyful and happy.
