You talked earlier about brain-heart coherence. It's a term that I've not heard before. I didn't know that there was a connection between my brain and my heart. Oh, there's a definite connection between your brain and heart.

If you do like MDMA or something, does that put you into some of these brainwaves? I'm wondering if any psychedelics are inducing of these states.

On this theta wave, you were talking about how that's really where a lot of the reprogramming can happen. So do I... need to be in that state and then be exposed to some kind of stimulus sound? Good question.

I remember reading a study of Wim Hof, the Iceman, where they injected him with a virus. And I think they injected other people with the virus. And through his breath work and meditations and whatever else he did, the virus didn't infect him, but it infected the other people. And then I think in the study, he trained other people to be able to reject the virus as well.

And all of this kind of sounds a little bit woo-woo to the average person, because to think that you can do something to prevent a virus infecting you I mean, it blows the doors open to like personal responsibility and, you know, which is troubling for people, I think.

And that is where you keep referencing the term advanced meditator, because you don't say normal meditators.

At these retreats, these seven-day retreats, one of the things I was pretty shocked by was the amount of time people spend meditating. How long do people spend meditating and why is that important?

That's the experience that I can profess to be true in my own relationship in life because my partner came back from the meditations. She came back from the week in Miami where she was doing the walking meditations down the beach and so on. And it didn't stop there.

In fact, that was really the start of her journey because every morning now she has this new routine where she meditates in the morning. And no one's telling her to do that. But clearly the benefit has been so great for her that... that she's continued the practice, and she does it every day.

I'm so amazed by it, because it takes a certain... I was going to say the word discipline, but it's not discipline, because if you're so clear on the benefit of an action, you don't necessarily need discipline. It's just clearly done so much for her that she's continued to do it thereafter. And it's funny, because obviously she came back from it. I was supposed to attend, I had a visa issue.
