Fasting Space

We are on a quest to find the most powerful

forces of weight loss in the galaxy.

How's that for a big vision?

The most incredible weight loss analogies.

And today we have stumbled upon one.

The weight loss supernova.

Supernova.

One of the most awesome, incredible, destructive

and creative forces in the entire universe.

It's a star that is converting mass into incredible energy,

creating this brilliant, beautiful display.

It's giving us a cosmic analogy.

Galactic scale analogy for the weight loss process.

The health rejuvenation process
that we are trying to head toward in 2026.

We're trying to bring as much energy, positivity

and light to this process as we possibly can.

And you're not going to find a anything bigger.

You're trying to bring light to something.

How about a supernova?

A process where converting weight into
energy is a transformation.

It brings renewal.

This is the process.

This is what we're going to see with the analogy of
a supernova.

Really excited to share. These thoughts are with you.

and we try to open our mind to what's possible in 2026

to have an absolutely incredible experience

way beyond what we thought was possible.

We're going to share some incredible insights
with you about a supernova.

As we're trying to frame our mind,
let's get some really big thinking,

get out of our own head,
get out of our own cycles and processes for a while.

And just like,
look at this image of like floating through space.

Who can even imagine the scale

of just the vastness of of reality?

It's just it's inspiring to me.

And so we think of a single star,

one little point of light
as we're traveling through this process,

maybe for a billion years, for time

that is beyond our camp ability to comprehend.

It's running a star is a gigantic fusion reactor.

It is taking elements and fuzing them together.

And as those elements come together, hydrogens
come together form helium.

There's the synergy there that releases energy

that was present in the two,
and now the one that doesn't need it.

The energy flies out.

That's the heat and light that a star is making.

And that process will run and run in it.

A star is burning
and it keeps using and fuzing elements together.

Millions upon countless millions of years until one

fateful moment, one moment when it has fuzed

and fuzed everything into more and more complex substances.

See every fusion reaction.

It turns out, releases energy until you get up.

You remember from high school, perhaps periodic table.

You get all the way up to iron. And when you hit iron.

The fusion reaction stops producing energy
and it starts sucking it up again.

And so in a moment, the star goes dark.

The thing gets covered in iron. It goes iron.

The gravity collapses.

It in the star collapses.

The outer layers bounce off this impenetrable core,
and the whole thing explodes.

In a supernova.

How wild is that? It sounds just.

So incredible.

The biggest explosion.

The biggest experience, basically, in the entire universe.

And then if you really want to open your mind
to the craziness of reality that iron that form

this shell around it,
the trapped in all the energy of a star

that generated these immense temperatures.

Is blown out across the universe when this thing explodes,

and in the incredible heat and calculable heat in

this is what fuzes all the higher, elements like gold.

So gold and silver, uranium.

All this stuff is formed in the heart of a dying star,

and it is blown out

across the universe, in this incredible event

and this has been happening for billions of years.

And if we are, to believe.

What all the observations of, astronomers

and, such tell us, which I am inclined to do,

the actual iron that is flowing through, bloodstream

that is giving oxygen to
our cells was formed in this process,

the end of the life of a star blown out across the universe,

through countless time coalesced here and this planet,

and is now forming the very bodies that we are living.

The iron, the calcium in our bones
formed in the heart of a star.

We are collection of stardust.

It is.

That is not not one of the most inspiring things
you've ever heard.

To me, I am.

I'm overwhelmed personally, just to try

to come contemplate the incredible.

Process that has led us to this moment.

And so to me, when we're looking for some incredible
inspiration.

A process to get out of a cycle, it's

to think all the history,
the habits, the pressure, the society,

the things like, let's take a super deep breath.

And just float out in this type of space for just a moment.

But if we can have a supernova

in 2026, the same concept.

We've been in a process for a long period of time.

We reach a moment when things change.

It happens. Boom.

Maybe that's the decision point.

Maybe, like we said in our session last week.

We hit the bottom of the cycle.

Maybe we've already been past that.

Maybe we don't have to go through it yet.

Maybe we say, man, I hit a low point
and now I am moving forward.

That was the moment that things changed
and now I am on a path.

I am moving forward.

And that path is about letting go of the past.

Stars going supernova, stars letting go of the past
a billion years.

It was something.

And then it says, you know what?

It's time to be something new in it.

That is like the caterpillar in the cocoon,
and it's like time to fly.

And some truly incredible things happen in that moment,

including the fact that the star itself, even

with this incredible explosion, is not even gone.

The core, the core of it stays.

And in that moment, some really incredible
things can happen.

I'm not an astronomer, okay?

I just been reading over the weekend about it.

But one of the incredible things that can happen
is that the star can turn into

what's called a neutron star,
which is one of the most incredible places in the universe.

The entire core of the star remains.

When everything else is blown away,
the core stays in it collapses.

And if it forms a neutron
star, it'd be like as dance as our entire sun,

but crammed into a sphere

the size that is like 12 miles across,

12 miles of across the entire sun, collapsing in
just this immensely dense.

And then it glows this brilliant blue,

and it has these streams of light that flow out of it

can form called a pulsar, like a cosmic, a lighthouse,

a little cosmic lighthouse, incredible density.

So this is giving us also incredible analogies of a process.

Say, wait, lost stars, losing weight and drills down

the core remains this incredible energy glowing.

It's like last forever. Basically sending out light.

So this is what we want in a weight
loss process, a transformation.

Letting go of things that don't longer, no longer serve us.

Getting to the core is what the star is doing.

The core of the star releasing light and energy.

And in that creative process, it's creating things of beauty

which we say things that we want, things of health,
creating something new for gold.

Say, what is the weight
loss gold that we are trying to create

a way of being in the universe, right here in this place.

It's incredible.

It's in alignment with the way we want to be.

Not the way anyone else wants us to be.

Following our path, our process.

So this is what I'm going to say.

Let's walk in this direction today.

The process that happens in our body.

We're not a fusion reactor, right.

But the process that we have
is an energy dissipating system.

A star is an energy dissipating system.

It's taking elements.

It's running them through a process
that releases heat and light.

We are dissipating system.

We have a certain amount of energy in us.

We release that through our respiratory process
to run every cell in our body.

It is always using energy and we release heat.

And I learned the other day at UNAM, microscopic level,

we also are producing light.

Not necessarily on the visible spectrum,
but we have light nonetheless.

And so that was so encouraging to me.

When I think like, oh, like she glowing.

All right, this is what we want.

The positivity.

Leaning into the incredible experience of what is happening.

The body is running
and we don't have to do anything to make it happen.

And to let this thing run in its optimal state.

So much of what we have to do is actually not doing,
or at least one of the things

is to not do for a period of time.

This is the fasting process.

This is the open space thinking of these incredible events.

Okay,
we are floating through space right now, and a spaceship

called
Earth is floating us through space in this metaphor, right?

This is what we have
the opportunity to be doing in our body, metaphorically

and in reality, in a fasting space.

Think of actually opening up the space,

letting the metabolism run like that star.

The star is not drawing in more energy.

It's utilizing these vast reserves

and it has sending that energy out into space.

Okay, we can be our own little star.

We create our own space.

Times where we voluntarily
say, hey, no food is coming in here for a time

because I am a powerful being, full of energy.

And I am going to let this process run,
and I'm going to send

that energy out into the space I have created.

That's how the energy that we have, say, body
fat that we don't want, we release it.

It is energy.

This is taking us into Einstein, right?

E equals MC squared, right?

You remember that energy is equal to mass times
the square of the speed of light.

All right.

So now we're getting into this.

It's showing us that energy and matter.

The mass is the same thing.

So we can bring that into our body.

We realize it's true and a star and it's true in our body.

Like the difference when you start to look is not so big.

We're made out of the same stuff.

And when we have matter, that is us that we don't want,

we can release it as energy,
and that is energy to power our body and life.

In a fasting space,
we can flow through it with the energy contained within us.

We don't need anything else.

We are not so dependent on consumption of things
as we thought.

The body is designed to be able to do it.

It is a natural process that we can use to help us flow

through this existence and bring things into balance.

Anybody out there use a little balance these days?

Oh man, take a deep breath.

Realize the balance is here within us.

We don't have to find it anywhere outside of ourselves.

We can create the balance
that we are seeking in our own life right now

with simple, free tools that we all have available to us.

Fasting.

To me, that foundational where the space.

It gives the body the ability to run in its natural state

without anything getting in the way of what it wants to do.

And then to the extent that we need it,
we add on to healthy food the nutrition that gives the body

the foundational building blocks that it needs

to rebuild the system anew in the regeneration, the key.

Look in this space down below me here.

Now you see that glowing cloud? That's the nebula.

The nebula is formed from stars
that went supernova long ago.

And they left this cosmic dust.

And over incredible amounts of time,

those nebula recollects and form new stars.

That's the regeneration.

This is the cycle that we want in our body.

We're letting go of things that don't serve us.

The energy is flowing out.

That process is creating.

The gold, the incredible richness
that allows new cycles of things to flourish.

We want to be creating the environment within our body
where something new can happen.

New life, new possibilities.

This is the great.

Thing about a new year, a fresh start,
a chance to move in a new direction.

Creating a new version of ourself is time to be new 2026.

Time to be new. The weight loss supernova.

The opportunity to clear away all the old ways of thinking,
all the old habits and patterns, reset it.

Moving on to something totally different, totally unique.

Creating the raw materials.

Something new and exciting.

Drilling down to that strongest core of the neutron star.

Becoming something new.

And that's what we've talked about on the channel.

The creative process.

We're not just sitting here on some Excel sheet
tracking our calories in calories out every day,

turning our whole life into numbers and thinking off,
I just do this number versus that.

And the thing, okay, we are like opening our minds
to just creating a way of being.

This is how we create an experience, a human experience.

Not like a robot, not like we're just trying to.

Fuel, you know, some sort of program.

We're not a computer, okay?

Like, we think there's a lot of people in this world.

Every time I turn on something,
people saying, okay, I this or that

and like the future, okay, this,

maybe it'll be good,
you know, have some computers, do some thinking for us.

Okay.

But what resonates with you right now
floating through a scene like this?

Okay.

Just turning our life into numbers, treating everybody

like robots or say, as a human being,
something more than that.

Human being is an emotional being.

Like, we don't just crunch numbers.

We have experiences. We live a life.

And to me, we start opening up our mind to something like,

this is what I say is like, let's truly start living.

Can 2026 be like, we're just going to trust a little bit?

We don't have to balance every equation, and we don't have
to have a numerical answer for every process.

We don't have to digitize and quantize our entire existence.

We can look through this, and we can see that
the universe has been on a process and a cycle.

Or time that is inconceivable to us.

And we are here in this blink of a cosmic eye.

We have an opportunity right here, right now
to be a part of it.

And to me, I say I want to live it.

I don't want to calculate it.

And to me, that helps me take a deep breath.

To me, that feels centering and grounding.

Because right now, how do you feel in your life?

I mean, I certainly feel like
I don't have everything figured out.

I don't have answers to every,
sort of thing that is happening.

But I know that I am present here,
and I know that this has meaning and value,

and I know that I can sit here in 2026
and I can give it my best shot.

That I can take the energy that is within me.

This is what I want to do, and not only just use that

in energy to power the body, but I can use that energy.

This is my big goal. To.

Transform that energy

not just into metaphorical light.

Not even real light and heat in some physical sense,

but into love and kindness and compassion.

This is what a human being is really right.

This is why you're not going to replace human beings
with a computer or an algorithm.

A. Human being.

We have the opportunity here to our family, to our friends,

to people that we don't even know, to radiate out

love and light in this year.

See that as a way of being in the world.

This is so much deeper than weight loss,
and this is what I tell people.

But doesn't that sound good?

I mean, I'm just sharing a vision that I have for my life.

I don't think that I'm, you know, at that place,
but it's what I am aspiring to more than any health process.

Like what is the deepest layer of health?

Like, say,
we never accomplished some half goal that we really want,

but we expanded our ability to reach out in love

and kindness to people say, wouldn't that be incredible?

And wouldn't it?

Wouldn't it be the case that we're if we are growing
and expanding in that fashion?

Isn't that the type of lightness,
the type of way of being in the world

that is also going to help us accomplish
every physical health thing that we ever want to accomplish?

I think it it I hope it is.

If that type of thing sounds good to you,
I say, then just make it the reality that we want.

That's what I am going to say.

Let's make it our reality.

Remove the heavy outer layers. Okay, that's the star.

That's the supernova. This is the idea we're going toward.

We're letting go of that, letting go of its own
very gentle supernova.

Nothing gentle about it.

It's a powerful explosion away from it.

It says, get away from me.

So, I was exploring throughout the fall
this idea intentional intensity.

I like analogies like this.

Some gentle music floating through space.

It's kind of like the sailboat analogy we have.

Not too much work to do.

Okay, let fast and do the work.

And can space.

No gravity, nothing holding us down, no anchors

just floating forward on a little momentum.

We have a love that analogy.

But sometimes, and it's also okay.

There's the other side of it.

Bring some intentional intensity.

Supernova about as intense as you can possibly get.

So sometimes I make a face like this
and I say, I want to bring it, you know,

I want to bring some serious human intensity
anywhere situation.

Do you ever feel like that in your life?

Or like sunshine?

We have seasons to things. This is why I love the seasons.

Seasons showing us. Okay.

There's a time to rest.

That's the winter.

Maybe this is the season you're really in.

Say, hey, look, trees are asleep.

Everything calm, nothing happening,
nothing really growing that we can see.

It's like just a time to float through a season.

But then, like, we head into the spring
and you look at the spring and everything is going right,

and the leaves are building out
and like everything is happening.

And so you don't have to wait for that
whenever the season is right in your life, like,

you look to the stars, you look and you see the supernova

and you say, sometimes this huge stretch of time went by,
and then the star said,

we are going for something big right now.

And if you feel that New Year's
kind of in time like that, right, we blow up some fireworks

and, you know, maybe there's an allergy
there, like we're blowing some stuff up in life, you know,

and it's a celebration and it's something new.

Now. Supernova, the biggest star celestial firework
you'll ever come across is a big celebration.

Like, literally clouds
full of gold flying across the universe,

sending out every element
that is necessary for life and flourishing.

It's a cosmic party.

And, if we want to move in a really positive direction

2026, it's like, man, we could,

do better than to, to look at this, cosmic party

supernova explosion of transformation and creation.

And we could give ourselves a dose of that to.

I'm going to bring the most intensity,
actually, that I could and like when,

when intensity is not coming from a place of guilt, like,
so often intensity,

I think in our weight
loss space is coming from places of guilt and pressure.

You know, what we're doing on
this channel is just letting go of all that, of getting

getting as far away from that as possible on a rocket ship
to the other side of the galaxy from anything like that.

And if you've seen some of the ideas
that we are trying to sink in here today.

Just an incredible space of love and light, far

away from guilt and judgment
and pressure and stress as possible.

Floating.

Okay, not heavy light, no anchors,

no gravity, even everything light and open and positive.

The. To me, that is the most incredible
environment of health that we, can create.

This is what we want.

The most powerful mindset that we can possibly create.

And from that place we have discarded
everything that is holding us

back, every negative pattern
demolished and left in the distance.

And what remains the center at the core of our being,

our human life, the ability to love and to strive.

And from that place.

Powerfully, courageously,
to take a step forward into something new

and to say, I don't care if it is difficult.

I am on a path.

I cannot be stopped.

I am moving in this direction of health and.

How exciting is that?

That's what I want to see.

The intensity can be exciting.

The intensity itself can build
the encouragement is building up a force

to break through and smash through every barrier
that stands in your way.

Create such an unstoppable, powerful mindset.

You say in 2026, nothing is going to stop me.

You're going to stop a supernova.

You're going to build a wall in front of it,
you know, as if nothing is going to stop it.

Right?

And it literally builds thousands of miles of iron

thick barrier and it just vaporizes it in an instant.

That's what we want to do with everything that stands
in the way of us experiencing the health that we want.

In this year.

Doesn't mean that that isn't, difficult to do.

I'm not as suggesting.

Well, we can just, we can just vaporize every problem.

We've got to go through a process.

But the mindset that this is showing us
is that that process is possible,

and that there is power and strength within us.

We literally are the star banks and built out of this stuff.

We already went through it, you know, we went through it.

We were right in there in the middle of it. Boom.

Now we're back in a cycle. Somehow.

And now maybe that deep experience,

maybe that's part of this reality itself.

Maybe that's where the human spirit comes from,
the fact that,

and we have been through the most powerful experiences
in the universe,

we have the ability to overcome,

to set the goal, to power through it.

When I was reading, you know, I was reading just all this

fascinating stuff this weekend about supernovas
and all this stuff.

It was talking about the incredible amount of energy
that is in in things.

And it's because, like,
we don't appreciate, you know, the star,

the supernova is tapping into the nuclear forces.

You think about an atomic bomb, right?

That, there's so much more energy than we can see.

And it was seen.

Just pick up a paperclip.

The one thing I was really reading saying,
you just pick up a paperclip, you say it's not food.

You say it doesn't have energy.

It's not like what we wouldn't think
how much energy is in a paperclip,

but in the nuclear force of the, paperclip,

even it's is like the energy

of an atomic bomb, basically just in the paperclip.

And so just the energy that we are surrounded by
and that we are made out of.

And if you're ever feeling low energy, which I know
is something that, you know, so many struggle with.

Sink in here on a fasting space this year
because the fasting space,

we've got energy in our body
just like this little paperclip, right?

We've got so much energy there.

We have to bring our body,

our being into alignment in order to access it.

But it's there.

And if you have struggled with low energy for a long time,
I just tell you think of the star.

It went along a process for so long
and then it flipped the switch.

This is what we want to do in a fasting space metabolically.

Flip the switch, reset the hormonal structure of the body
so that the cells that are trapping

all that energy inside us can open the bay doors
and let it fly out.

I want this for you.

I want 2026 to be an incredible year of energy.

I want you to feel like, man,
the energy is just flowing out.

That process can look like weight loss,
but it can just look like energy,

can look like enthusiasm and positivity.

And to say, I just feel better.

Like it's easier to get up, it's easier to be active.

Like I can feel the energy flowing.

This is what we really want.

This would be a level deeper than weight loss.

To say this, I am tapping into energy here
that is powering my life.

I'm having a good time. I want for people.

I don't want any kind of process to be like,
oh, I'm struggling through a space.

Oh, it's so I feel worse.

I want everybody feeling better.

I want people feeling positive energy, feeling empowered,

people realizing, man,
I am feeling this energy just flowing out.

That's what I want personally.

I want the energy as I've experienced it in my life.

I've said on the channel I'm a big exerciser now when I,
when I started,

the first time I started reading online,
I saw people do fasting, exercise.

I said, oh no way, oh no man.

And the first times I tried to do it, I couldn't do it.

I, you know, I tried to get on my bike,
I have a stationary bike downstairs is a winter.

I say, okay, my,
my routine always had been I get up, I drink

orange juice,
I eat a banana, then I, I hang out a little bit.

I let the digestion happen
so I can, you know, power up with the carbs right there.

So I have energy to do it, then I exercise.

I did that for years and years and years.

And so then to stop that, say,
get out on my bike and but no food.

Okay.

The first times I'm like, oh, I need to move.

Oh, man, this is something.

I feel a little dizzy.

You feel like, oh, where is the energy?

Okay. The body is like, what are you doing to me?

Okay.

But that's day one.

To take it easy, I just turn the pedals over a few times.

Like I say, you gotta sit before you can walk.

Like we're just gotta open up the space a bit.

But then the next day, say you just work at it
a little bit, you're gentle.

And, for me, it took about six weeks.

And by six weeks I was exercising harder.

And I had ever exercised in the fasting state.

And now I greatly prefer it.

I'm going to go do some intense exercise now.

I'd always want wanted to be fasting.

Like I don't want to be lugging around a gut full of food

when I'm trying to like, you know, busted, you realize.

Or when you train the system,
this is how you get access to this energy.

The power is there.

You have to train, say, the body to do it.

This is the type of idea.

Now, you don't have to become a fasting athlete or anything
just so.

You just open up as much of this space as it benefits you.

Where you can say, hey, my life is better,
I've got energy here, I can do

you know the stuff that I need to do in my day?

I'm finding joy and peace and presence in it.

That's all we're trying to do.

But if you like the intensity that I'm describing,
like you know, go for it.

Sky is the sky's the limit.

Some, some distant star you say is the limit.

But it can be very simple.

Grab a coffee, okay?

And just chill out.

Doesn't have to be anything more than that.

Doesn't have to be intense in any fashion.

It's like whatever season you are here for, if it is,

it is just chilling out your way to weight loss.

That is MC super, my default today.

I'm trying to bring you more intensity.
The biggest thinking.

But we can bring it back down to something very chill.

Float through it.

Okay.

Last week I started reading you this book.

I gave you this insights from the mountain. Is you okay?

The mountain is me. The mountain is all of us.

We are trying to move, in a direction of health.

Pat says a real commitment to a weight loss goal

evolves into a mental emotional journey.

Navigating through that into a shift in lifestyle

is permanent to be successful.

Absolutely.

I, I totally resonate with that.

Trying to create a way of being in the world
that is in alignment

with your values and that helps you walk in a direction.

You say is not permanent in any sort of standpoint of like,

oh, you're trapped in a process
and you can never get out of it.

But it's like if you actually found it, if you said I,

I drove in to a mental and emotional journey,
and I walked on a path where I found

a place of peace and contentment that brought health

and life and vitality to the body and the mind.

Like, why would you ever stop it?

That's what I say.

It's not like you're trapped in it.

But this is that goal, right?

To find a permanent process,
your way of being in the universe,

in the world that balances all the forces.

So that from that space
you say, hey, I'm good in this space.

I don't need anything else.

Like, you know,
I think one of the most frustrating spaces in a weight

loss space is to say,
oh, you find one thing that you do for a while,

and then it's like, well, maybe it works a little while
and then you have to find something else,

and you think of the billions of dollars in the products
and the

the consumption of unfinished ongoing cycles.

And so now what I want people to find is

I want people to find the last thing like that.

We don't need another thing
all the time to realize, actually, we don't need anything.

This is the incredible metaphor

or just reality of what fasting is.

It's nothing and you can't buy it
and you don't need anything other than nothing.

Just think an incredible thing to realize.

Realize my body is powerful, has energy right here.

We can flow through this space.

I don't need to buy another product.

I don't need anything else.

We can just sit here in this space.

For me,
wait was a symptom of a greater need for change in myself.

This is what I'm talking about.

Trying to get to the deepest level.

We did the question the other day.

Was it just from this, you know, book?

What really is the question is,

is weight loss the mountain or is it something deeper?

There are deeper levels.

And I, I encourage people as much as I can to

try to drill down to the very deepest level.

The core of your being, the heart of the star.

It's the core that after the supernova has blown
everything away, what is left?

And whatever that is, is the mountain.

And we want to get that are the center of our being,
the core of ourself,

where our peace and resentment, peace and contentment

reside, where resentment is blown away.

Absolutely.

Weight loss process, we can see, is about change.

Okay. That's like the simple basic reality.

We have had a way of being in the world.

The body has responded to that in a certain way.

So this is reality. This is how it is.

So we say we have to change.

So on a certain level we say, okay, change
we understand is necessary.

But what really is the change?

Is it just a calorie like we are saying?

Are we going to track a spreadsheet.

We're going to just change some calories in.

Is that going to be the
the permanent way of being that fixes everything?

Or is it deeper?

A book like this,
I think would suggest that, that really it is deeper.

So I run this just this part from the introduction.

This is where I left it, last week where we said,

we can when we can no longer rely on our coping mechanisms.

To distract us from the problems in our life.

It can feel like we've hit rock bottom.

Have you been at a place like that?

The reality of this sort of awakening is what happens
when we finally come

to terms with problems that have existed for a long time.

And this is showing us that that point, we fear it.

We say, whoever wants someone to be at Rock bottom is like,
I don't wish it for anybody.

But the book is pointing out that point is often
the tipping point that precedes the breakthrough.

Okay, that's where I ended it on Friday.

And look at the next sentence
and you can see where this show came from.

The moment a star implodes before it becomes a supernova.

And that's that's where that's the next sentence.

Rock bottom.

We say we don't wish it, but that point is the tipping point
when everything can change.

You say the star was going so well and then it imploded.

Oh my gosh.

But then it explodes.

Then it's the most brilliant thing in the universe. And.

We're doing some reflection. Last week.

Okay.

If we're on a path, does
that mean I have to go through some difficult thing I say.

And and we we struggled at that point
where I think we don't wish struggle on anyone,

but then we just look at the reality
and say, well, life is full of struggle, life is a struggle.

And then of course, we have a goal of minimizing struggle.

But sometimes we have to go through this process.

You see this tension.

What I would say, as
I don't wish any difficult course on anyone,

just what is necessary
in order to walk the path to this place.

Like we're saying, this permanent state
where we say I have accomplished,

I have overcome, I have solved this thing
that has been so difficult for so long.

We use the experience of growing up through.

It is how a process becomes sustainable for us

to master something, to overcome it.

And so I what I say, the thing to think about is
have you already been through it?

This is the most positive thing I can think.

Like who out
there has not had a dark and difficult experience

and who has not reached
who, who has not had that where you reach

a place like I just feel so low.

Okay.

I was like, have we already crashed through it?

This is what I say to open our mind.

And are we looking back now on it and realizing,
I don't need to go back to a place like that?

Already been there. Thanks.

Say I'll pass. And another rock bottom.

We don't.

We don't need any more of it.

But can you say, you know that was enough for me?

That is a platform that I can see where things have gone.

And I'm just going to springboard off of that from here

because we're we're generating as much as possible
the most positive mindsets

that we can, can possibly have, you know, share.

Sure.

Share yours. I don't have a monopoly on good ideas.

I'm trying to suck up as many good ideas as possible. So.

I was going to say it's, it's not a competition, but, like,
it could be like, let's let's compete.

Who can, who can come up with a very most positive
and thoughtful, mindset possible?

We'll all put our heads together and make it happen.

Historically, mountains have been used as metaphors
for a spiritual awakening, a journey of personal growth,

of the insurmountable challenges that seem impossible
to overcome when we're standing at the bottom.

Like so much of nature, mountains
provide us with an inherent wisdom

of what it will take to rise up to our highest potential.

This is what I want for all of us in 2026,

rising up to our highest potential, accomplishing the goal.

What?

What I said, what is the most important question?

What do I really want?

And you know, I ask you, what do you really want in 2026?

Like, really, if you can have anything in the world like,
you know, would health be that thing?

Yeah, I would say a lot of people would say,
fill out my bank account, you know,

fill up the vault with diamonds and gold and whatever.

I would say the thing that we should be striving after

health and good relationships,
that's the positive way of being.

Where are you going to end 2026? More content.

To me, I would say let's take the good health
and good relationships.

The book says the object of being human is to grow.

We see this reflected back in every part of life.

Species reproduce the edges of the universe,
always expanding outward,

like our ability to feel the depth and the beauty of life.

It's capable of expanding forever, including inward.

If we're willing to take our problems
and see them as catalysts.

For us need fire to do it.

Volcanoes need an implosion and the star needs to collapse.

Human beings often need to be faced

with no other option to change before they really do.

So here we're faced with that same moment,
standing on the threshold to change.

To accept the process.

So that we can become something new.

That's what it means in this book of what they're saying
to climb the mountain,

to do the work and not not to sit in the valley,

but to accept the path, might be difficult.

There's going to be obstacles, challenges, things
along the way.

We did not expect that in the moment
might even be challenging to get through.

But we say, but I am on a journey.

I am going somewhere different.

Even if something is difficult,
I no longer want to stay in the valley.

I want to climb.

Do you want to climb you? You've got to want to climb.

You can't.

Can't climb a mountain.

If you say, I just really want to sit.

And if you're space where you're at in your life, right now,

nobody, nobody can force you to take a journey.

And maybe the saying is like, this is the time.

Say, I'm not ready to climb. It's perfectly fine.

Say I'm just fine sitting down in the camp,
just going to look at the mountain.

That's perfect. See? That's openness.

That's acceptance.

I described a lot walking on the river. Okay?

You don't have to jump, right?

And say,
I don't know that I want to swim this river right now.

You can walk along the riverbank.

A star is floating along for a long period of time

until the moment when it changes.

Maybe that's just where you want to sit
after a space like this.

We talked through some intensity today. Supernova.

Very intense.

I am not necessarily
ready to go, supernova in my life right now.

I think I'll just keep floating along in that gentle space
for a while.

Totally a reasonable choice.

But just have in the mind that the openness to
it is possible.

Keep thinking about it, mulling it around and does one day.

Does the switch flip?

One day we go full iron in the star and we just go. I'm.

Listen to this.

I hope this section is very encouraging to you, to me,
and is very encouraging.

Remember, we're not looking after perfection.

To have a man in front of you
does not mean that you are broken in some way.

Everything in nature is imperfect.

It is because of the imperfection that growth is possible.

Seeing basically if everything was perfect, they say
if everything existed in uniformity, then the gravity

that created a star and a planet and everything
we know would not exist

without breaks, faults and gaps.

Nothing could grow and nothing could become.

The fact that we are imperfect is not a sign that we failed.

It is a sign that we are human.

More importantly,
it is a sign that there is still more potential within us.

I just I'm loving that book so far. Loving that book.

There is more potential in us that is 2026, 2026.

It is all sitting in front of us.

It is a blank canvas.

It is an open space.

Look at this open space.

Huge open space.

Perfection is not required.

We have the opportunity to create an experience for ourself
here.

An exploration, a journey, a process of health.

Figuring out a way of being.

Taking the brushes that we have and.

And painting them on the canvas
and seeing what it looks like.

You know, we got different brushes, different colors
to create this experience.

One of those brushes is a fasting space is to open up space

and let the body work and run to release energy.

And then we've got every other good practice of health
that we can stack on top of it.

Our healthy food choices, our gentle

movement practices, or even our not so gentle, practices.

If we're called to do it, we bring the intensity.

If we, want, but nothing required.

And then the beautiful mental health practices

that, that really might be the very most important.

I did a meditation over the weekend,
which is something that I talk about to practice.

I personally try to build, but it is there's difficult.

And I went through the same process that I've described
previously on the channel.

I had a beautiful opportunity.

My family was, going out, my wife

taking kids for some appointments, and at home.

I was feeling stressed this weekend.

I was feeling anxious and overwhelmed,
and I thought about all the things that I could do.

I have a quiet house and the thought came in there.

You should
you should really probably open up a meditation space.

And then and then I want with it because, like,
I don't want to do that because of the barrier to entry to.

It's because I know what it's going to be like.

I'm going to sit there. I'm going to feel anxious.

All the distractions are gone.

Won't be easier.

I'll scroll on my phone as I'll learn.

Isn't it good to learn?

There's crazy things happening in the world
and then I can know more about them.

You know, I think I saw a stat this weekend
that the average American scrolls

300ft of scroll

in the average day, that,
if you like, measured on the screen

the length of all the scrolling, that it would stack up
300ft tall.

The Statue of Liberty tall that we scroll through it.

And so I was thinking about actually that quote,

that idea, as I was sitting there, I was like,
I don't want to do that.

That is not healthy.

That is not going to put me in a better state of mind.

I have gotten in different points in my life.

I think it's I think it's three years that I have been,
doing my best to practice some meditation.

I'm trying to be the type of person practice what I preach.

I certainly do that with fasting.

Meditation is, like,
you know, if I just, try to do a little self-evaluation.

I say fasting, I'm pretty pretty good at that.

I've been dialed in on that for over a decade.

I feel really good with myself

on a fasting and, exercise, something I work at.

I rate myself pretty okay with that,
but a meditation practice?

I'm like a rookie, very novice.

Okay, but what an incredible, powerful tool.

Another thing, and last summer
especially, I really got in a groove with it for,

I don't know, a solid month
where I was really kind of in a groove.

And then, you know, I get out of it.

I want to encourage you in this space, though.

That's where we're floating through some space meditation,
like fasting in our society.

So easy to overlook.

Not a lot of people in contemporary culture saying,
oh, you know what?

We really need to do?

We need to just sit in an empty room by ourself
and shut off the phone for a while.

Like, doesn't that sound fun?

So it's like, you know, another thing, like fasting,
you can't sell it, you know, it's not a thing.

Fasting. Another thing that is nothing.

Here we see how it is the same fasting, nothing.

Yet it is something. Fasting, nothing yet.

It can bring health and rejuvenation to the body,
just like a meditation is nothing,

but it can bring health and rejuvenation to the mind.

Just here's what my experience was this weekend
I had one hour.

I ended up with one hour.

I said, you know what?

I'm just going to do it because my experience has been that
when I really commit to doing it.

I initially find it difficult, I regret it.

I think things like, I can't believe I'm doing this,
is this all these catastrophic thing?

Like,
is this what my life has become? I'm just sitting here.

I think I'm some, you know, person.

I can, you know,
I don't know, just stupid thoughts that some center

is trying to keep you from doing it.

I don't know that center
that's addicted to the dopamine that just wants you

to go scroll on something or read something
or just keep doing things.

To me, that's what feeds the anxiety.

A meditation space is the process of calming that down,

of putting that
whatever it is in its place, just like fasting.

Paradoxically, you say all the barriers say I feel hungry.

Hunger itself.

You can think of it like a type of anxiety.

It's saying like, oh, this is not okay.
I need something here.

It's like, okay.

And fasting actually is the processor is saying,
no, actually it's okay.

No, you don't need it.

And then you burn through the hormones
that are controlling that the hunger goes away.

That's the process of how we control it over time.

You say, I want to get control of hunger.

Well, ironically, a paradox like fasting can help
you do that over time.

But in the short term,
you haven't been practicing fasting or something.

Can you experience more hunger?

Absolutely. Of course.

Okay, now meditation, the same sort of thing.

You say, I'm feeling anxiety. I'm feeling.

All these thoughts,
this pressure, these things I have to do.

Well, well, you're going to shut off all the phones,
the screens, everything.

And you say, I'm going to just be present with myself
for a little bit.

Like, just like the hunger in a fasting space,

you can become more aware of it, okay?

When you can become more aware of the anxiety

in a meditation space, because now there's no distraction,
now there's nothing else.

This is a big barrier for me doing it.

Do I really want to confront that?

And so, I don't know, it's been like two weeks.

You know, the holiday has been a big time.

I didn't take any time to do it.

We're just going from one thing to the next.

I didn't have any meditation practice during that time.

Took no mental health space.

I think I was totally, you know, feeling it say so.

Here was the experience. Family's gone.

I go down in my quiet little office.

I turn off the lights.

I turn everything off, and I feel like this, you know,
do you feel it?

And I think I want to grab the phone.

I want to do something.

You gotta make it.

In my experience,
like the first five minutes of something like that is like,

okay, we're going to make it through it
just kind of breathe.

We've gone through the box breathing.

I went in on a box breathing and things calm down.

And then you start floating through the space
a little bit better.

And and I had just have a fantastic,

session, actually difficult to commit to.

Difficult to start, difficult to sit in that space.

But then once you get through that initial five minutes,
then I started to feel it.

I said, actually, look, I'm okay.

And then you can I can feel the anxiety coming down.

It's like, there, there it goes.

I practice breathing it out.

I'm doing the box breathing on the exhale picture,
the anxiety just flowing out,

breathing in peace and contentment,
breathing out the anxiety.

Feel the tension in the body in that sort of space.

Then I start to feel personally okay, the tension
and then okay, your neck, shoulders.

Let it all out. So it is two very connected.

We've gone through this powerful
I think hopefully you would agree.

Powerful session today.

Powerful thinking like big galactic scale analogies okay.

And then we
and we said okay, we can bring incredible intensity

to a situation to accomplish a goal.

And then we said also, the other side of it,
we can bring it back.

Mountains can be intimidating, okay.

And nobody forcing anybody do anything.

Here's another analogy.

How beautiful is it just to say, I'm
I'm gonna head to Colorado and I'm going

to rent a house for the weekend in the mountains,
and I'm just going to sit and look in the mountains like,

there's an incredible analogy to like, mountains
just beautiful in their own skin.

You don't have to do anything to appreciate a mountain.

You can just sit and look at it.

And then from that space here, we flow into this space.

That in a meditation space, actually,
there's the ultimate not doing,

especially if you're fasting and meditating.

And it's like then the whole body is openness
and the whole mind is openness.

And we're letting the body burn through

hunger to find contentment in the body, to release energy.

And we're letting things settle in the mind
so that we can move on from anxiety.

I'll tell you my experience this weekend
I got done with an hour meditation.

One of the first times.

Honestly, most of the times when I do a meditation,
I set my phone

a timer on my phone because it's like,
I gotta go get the kid somewhere.

But here my wife had the kids.

I say, I'm gonna even take the phone out of the room.

I saw a study.

I might have talked about this on the channel
where they were studying in college.

Kids that just having a phone on their desk
when they're taking a test,

even if it's turned off, diminished their focus.

And, had a measurable impact
on, know test taking performance.

So I just think I said, you know what?

And I'm going to get the phone even out of the room.

I'm just going to get it away and no alarm
because so many times as like

as, like I don't want to drift off in some meditation.

And I leave my kid at karate practice. Right.

And so I have like,
I always have the alarm, but here no alarm.

And so it was over an hour and I sat in the space.

I got through the anxiety
and it's like the first five minutes.

Then you say how it feels like
like a whole half an hour, but.

Right.

So it was really just like five minutes
and then all of a sudden, boom, the whole thing was gone.

All of a sudden, like, kids are running in the back door.

And I'm like, how long was that?

It's like, oh, it's like 17 minutes.

And I was like, see, this is why I did it.

I was like, oh, this is why I did it.

I had been flowing through this day feeling anxious
and stressed and thinking about all this stuff.

And I was like, oh, I made it into this space.

I gave space to let the anxiety go.

And the rest of my teaching was so much better. Oh my gosh.

I was breathing so much better.

The tension was so much less in the body.

And then the mind was so much more settled.

And then the rest of the day I was like, oh, I was like,
I got out of the envelope of it, you know,

I kept the screens off.

I didn't I didn't feel any compulsion to like,
I don't need to know what is going on.

I don't need to bring this stress back to my life.

This is you
go through the barrier to entry to get into that space.

I was like, you know,
I can just I'm just going to spend time with my family.

I've got like an actual day off, like it's a Saturday.

I should not
I don't have to keep doing anything in this day.

It's like we need spaces like that, okay?

The body needs spaces without food.

If we want to accomplish metabolic purposes in the body,
like resetting insulin resistance,

getting our blood sugar better, getting the flow

of energy
heading back out of the body takes space to do that.

And then to build a powerful mindset,
the type of mindset that is okay, doing

something like that, you know, say, well.

Can be a struggle to do that.

I didn't call things, you know, easy fasting.

I say simple fasting because it's very it's very simple.

The whole process. It can't really get much more simple.

And sometimes we can flow into a space like that
and we say, well, it is easy.

And certainly that's the goal.

I want things to be as easy, in any regard as possible.

The whole point, you know, of a fasting space
program is to create spaces

to build a powerful mindset
so that we can flow through things as easily as possible.

I want to minimize every bit of struggle,
for people possible.

But then nothing about that process

is closing our eyes to reality in any way.

To saying that, like.

Struggle is inherent in life, and things that are valuable

are almost always difficult to accomplish.

That's just that's just the way things are.

For whatever reason, most things of value
take work and discipline and progress to,

you know, work at it and most things of great value

take much more time and effort than we thought.

And this is why I think the mountain is, you know, the right
analogy.

Climbing a mountain is not necessarily an easy thing to do,

but it is one of the most satisfying things to do.

Just like people say, a mountaintop experience like you say,
you get to the top of a mountain,

say, man, I've really accomplished something here.

This has been like a goal of like,
like my entire life to get to this point.

You know, that's the journey.

That's also the excitement.

To me, all this stuff flows together.

So the meditation space to me, immensely
valuable to my weekend.

I want the experience that I had in there
to feel mentally refreshed.

I definitely want that.

That's the state of mind.

That's the way of being that I want you to experience.

If you're if you're buying what I'm selling
and of course, I'm not really selling anything.

I'm just, you know, showing like this process.

Saying I get it. Open space, fasting space.

I want to flow in that direction.

Okay.

The way I want you to do it is the way I was feeling

after 70 minutes of a meditation space.

No anxiety, no pressure,

not feeling any compulsion to have to do anything at all.

Feeling settled, content and just open and present.

In this, in this type of world,

that we have, how valuable, how valuable is that?

As part of this, my thinking on supernovas and all of this
and floating through space,

I did bring, two quotes that I found

as I was reading through and thinking that I grabbed.

And, let me share these with you.

This first one, Fred Rogers.

Our world hangs like a magnificent jewel
in the vastness of space.

Every one of us is a part of that jewel,
a facet of that jewel.

And in the perspective of infinity,
our differences are infinitesimal.

I hope that, quote can bring us some encouragement to you.

This in this day, in this week,
as we're centering ourselves,

in this, year moving forward positively to me, I see that.

All right.

We're not alone.

We are here together in this space, a precious opportunity.

And we're doing our best to move forward in health together.

here's, the second quote that I came across that

I thought was, was very interesting in this regard.

I a little spaceship Earth, so only 8000 miles in diameter

is almost a negligible dimension
in the great vastness of space.

Spaceship Earth, which,
you know, we're floating through this scene right now.

It's taking us through the stars, keeping us

alive, giving us everything that we need here to flourish.

It was so extraordinarily
well invented and designed that, to our knowledge,

humans have been on board for 2 million years,

not even knowing that they were on a ship.

Okay, it's like we don't even know what's happening here.

We're flying through the earth.

And to me, this is like grounding us,

helping us to, find gratitude and presence.

Say we've gone through some really big, intense thinking,
in this session,

supernovas and stars exploding and just this incredible

expanse of the universe just unimaginably huge and powerful.

And then we try to flow back through a space where we bring
things back and center ourselves here in this.

I want this to be a centering thing.

Sometimes you say, okay, it can be so inspiring.

Head through a scene like this, flying out into space,
just opening our mind

to these things that are bigger,
so much bigger than ourselves.

And then, like we said on the other side of it,
we can bring things back.

It's like, let's is how I land our show today. Okay?

We have flown out into space,
try to open our mind in our thinking,

and now let's land right here, back on earth,

in this incredible jewel of a place so special.

And,
can we increase in our gratitude and compassion for it?

Our understanding that we are not separate from it?

We are part of this.

Like the quote from Fred Rogers.

We are part of this jewel that is hanging in space
and you have value.

You are important and we are here for a reason.

And we can always see that.

But all of this has deep meaning,
and we have an opportunity here in this day

to ground ourselves here to find gratitude

and thankfulness for it, and then take a step forward.

All the knowledge we have, all the history, our experiences,
everything that we've learned from

let's move forward in this day and take a step

toward better health and wholeness,
using that energy that is inside of us

and radiating it out forward
like the supernova, out into everybody.

That we come into contact with lightness, positivity.

Really appreciate you all being here.

Really.

A pleasure to, share this time.

In this, space with you.

I hope you have a wonderful day.

And I'll see you back here tomorrow.

Have a great day, everybody.
