A lot of us are experiencing a lot of pain, whether we start to think that we've done something wrong and it's not right. And therefore, we start to either feel guilty or shameful or something happening. We're like, this shouldn't be happening to me because I shouldn't experience this illness or this breakup or this financial crush. And how could I be at the perfect place at the perfect time?
People came at me when I gave that TED Talk. And I'm like, guess what? Because you can't be anywhere else. And so this is the perfect place at the perfect time, even if it doesn't feel perfect, because that pain is teaching you something. It's bringing you somewhere. It's something, your higher self, your soul, that connection. You are the energy of the universe, and it needs to learn something.
Yes. Yes. It's the second part of it. There's a little bit of, you know, trust the process and it's earth school. And guess what? The curriculum is difficult.
First, we have to really cultivate the awareness, right, that this is happening as a synchronicity, even if it is or when we're not in synchronicity. So Carl Jung said that synchronicities were unrelatable things that happen basically by chance but seem to be lining up. That's not the exact paraphrasing.
I wish I could quote like that. But these things that happen, I would say, what are the synchronicities that are happening? Let's be aware of them. Let's look around. And the only way you can really see them is to be present. And so present in this moment, this is happening. And I always feel like the synchronicities in my life are really simple things.
And sometimes I simplify it so much so that if I didn't hit traffic and there's a parking spot out front and I walk in on time with ease, They're like, I'm meant to be there. That's something as simple as that.
But as it gets more developed, you can start to listen to your body because your body and your subconscious mind is the first thing that's going to recognize the synchronicity because it already knows when it's in alignment. And so if you're trying to make a decision and you're kind of out here looking for the signs, like, where's my sign? Where's the crow flying? And there's an eagle at dawn.
It's the synchronicity. Instead, just listen to your body. And if it feels like it's in alignment, then you're in the right direction.
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
Just to start out, anybody that is dealing with an undiagnosed illness, I feel you. Or it hasn't been diagnosed yet or you're trying to figure it out, I feel you. And the first thing that really comes up is fear and uncertainty. All we want to be is certain in life. We have the subconscious knowledge. We're going to die and we don't know when. So it's already fear.
So we're looking constantly for certainty, for certainty, certainty. How can we find certainty? So anytime that something's uncertain in relationships like inconsistency, dating is really hard, we just want to know. We want a certain amount of uncertainty, but then we want the certainty.
So if you have an illness that has been undiagnosed and it's bringing up a lot of anxiety and fear, it's because you don't know what's going to happen. People often say, I wish I just knew that I had cancer because I wouldn't have to try to figure it out anymore. It would be it and I'd know the next steps regardless of what they were.
And so settling the anxiety and knowing that we can be comfortable in the uncertainty and knowing that whatever happens, it's going to be all right. It's going to be all right. Even if the worst thing happens, you're going to make it through. And so just allowing yourself to do that settles the inflammation in your mind, which lowers the inflammation in your body.
And I learned this firsthand because when I was younger, I woke up one day and I couldn't feel the shower on my left foot. I couldn't feel the hot water on my foot. And I was like, that's really strange. And I ignored it. And that numbness started to move up my leg. And it was moving up really rapidly. And so at that time, you know, whatever young man does when he gets, you know,
very quickly and shockingly ill, I called my mother. I said, you know, this is happening. My mother was an ER nurse. She worked with trauma victims at Boston City Hospital. So she was getting like gunshot wounds on the daily. And she was cool as a cucumber, Irish Catholic from Boston, like did not get rattled. And she, I could, she was concerned.
And I didn't know what that meant other than there was an issue. And so I went in and got MRIs and everything. And at that time, MRIs just of your spine that now take 30 minutes took like three, four hours. And so I'm in this MRI machine just trying to figure it out. And it turned out there was a lesion on my spinal cord. And it was growing. Every time I'd get one, it was growing.
And we couldn't figure out what it was from. We did every test. I went all around the world. And it was growing and growing and growing. And I was getting worse and worse and worse. More pain, more illness, more numbness, walking with a limp, not being able to walk until finally I woke up and I couldn't walk at all. This is what happened. I had an identity change.
And my identity as a really strong body first macho man had to change. And now I needed to step into vulnerability and I needed help. And my identity started to change. And I went around the world. I even wrote a book on this called The Stimulati Experience.
I went around the world seeking out both medical healers and spiritual healers, shaman, grandmasters of Kung Fu, Ecuadorian healers all over the world. And what I started to realize is that we are much bigger than our bodies, right? We are much bigger than our illnesses, our problems. We are far greater. And we are an energy that never, it's always persists. It's never removed.
You know, when our bodies die, this energy will still be there. It's beneath everything. It makes up everything. We are not a body. We are a spirit in a body. And so as I started to kind of get my head around this and go to these healers, I started to realize that I had some real pain and trauma that was creating a really difficult life.
