If you have headphones, 1000 percent suggest you put headphones on. so looking forward to this. Gio's like, I had an hour drive today. No, you know, my grandma passed away today. it's all good, yeah. If you guys are ready. We're gonna do some. This is not the main one.

1:25 Just ask you to Breaths in and out through the nose Next breath feel your jaw relax Take one slower breath in and out through your nose I'm going to say a few words, and I want you to finish this sentence silently in your mind.

2:38 Listen to your response as I say these words. I am here today to I am here today to Listen from within for the next few moments as you complete the sentence.

3:19 I am here, today, to Pausing for a second. Let it become totally clear in your mind, what brought you here today.

4:04 Focus on what you realized here. Now grab your journal. A response to that question. I am here today to I'll give you a couple, like two minutes, until 7 39.

4:48 Very good.

6:20 All right, so I'm gonna lower it a little bit, and we're gonna pause it. So, before we can do the main meditation, does anybody want to share a word or a phrase that came up? And then what helps with that is, if you wrote a couple things, you can go ahead and circle what becomes more apparent to you, what stands out with what you already wrote. And then feel free to share maybe one or two things if you want. And go ahead, Gio.

7:01 The word that came to me was, uh, disarm, disarm. So that was, um, yeah, that came to me, came to me very clearly. And so, and then the second thing, um, to learn, to be open to learning, so when you disarm, you let things in, right? So. They go hand in hand together. I like it. Thanks for sharing, Gio. Thank you. Yeah. So when you said, uh, so I caught the, I, sorry, when you said, go grab water, I want to go grab water and my sister just happened to have pizza too.

7:45 So grab the slice. So when it's time, I came back, you already made meditation. So I said, said water, not pizza. Hey, clear to mind. If I had the urge, it would have messed up my meditation, you know, so I just have to grab pizza. That's why I said, I'm here today. The first word that came to mind was to succeed. And then win and conquer my competitive nature. Probably a shiny words there. Appreciate you very passive. The cool thing is, uh, no, um, I'm going to answer the next question. Say what you got to say. No, I just like how everybody has their own dialogue.

8:30 Yeah. Um, and then my reason for being here today, or why I showed up today, Support my friend and to be there for him. Appreciate you. Whoever that friend is, he's going to be very happy. Hopefully. Cool. Cool. So now we're going to do the main meditation. Um, I do want to share a little bit about myself. I have a story and the theme is fancy. So the other day I needed to recharge and reset and I'll tell you why.

9:15 All right. I was on the computer and I'm like, all right, cool. I got these emails going, it's going to be like fancy. And then I'm like, I have this really cool program that you can do all the customizations and like the pop ups, the scrolls, the blurs, and I'm getting into it. And then an hour goes by, another hour goes by. And then I get frustrated because I don't know what I'm doing. So I go to YouTube university videos can only go so far. And I have a deadline. So I'm trying to get real fancy, but I do have a deadline. I don't know what I'm doing. Um, did I know that at the time? Not really. Um, so I was frustrated and I kept going and hitting the wall and every step I took, there were more options and more questions.

10:08 And so I started to feel a panic attack coming. So I said, you know what, John, why don't you do what you help people with and get the hell out of there. So I left the office. I just took the headphones off. It was hard It was like peeling off a band aid slowly I left the office and I started doing like Yard work. I'm like, I don't, all right, I'm going to do, I'm going to just, and then I got lost in the yard work, completely forgot what I was doing. And then I said, you know what? It's time to go back. Let me see what I can figure out this time.

10:49 And my whole perspective changed successfully. It shifted because I got my weight, I got my mind off of it. And I came back and I said, why am I using this program? I don't know how to use this and I don't have the time to do the research or to do it, to learn. So let's just scratch that. It doesn't mean no forever. It just means no for now. I have this other program that's just been sitting there. That's just one, two, three, click, and we're good. But for some reason I need to go fancy. And right now it's very obvious that. That's the last thing I need. And it was just this weird, like completely different brain that was there.

11:32 And I got it done and that was it. It was just kind of like weird as in like, it may, it may seem like, okay, John, well, that's great. But you saw that shift that happened. I left, did something completely unrelated. I just needed to just shift my mind on. And I don't think Jill got a chance to see or to hear but I'm just going to go back to that quote. The moment you change your perception. Is the moment you rewrite the chemistry of your body, shifting your perspective today so that you can be in a different mindset tomorrow or right now. And so the question that we're going to contemplate on is how can shifting my perspective today positively impact my physical and emotional well being?

12:22 I will definitely shorten that for you. And you're not gonna have to write that down, but that is like essentially it. So you don't have to worry about that. Just let that quote simmer. Now we're going to get into the actual meditation. And so what I'm going to ask you to make sure to do is you got your water, your alarms and alerts are off. You finished your pizza. Um, no, one's going to knock on your door. Um, cause you're going to be in a delicate place and it's going to suck to lose that. For when you want to get some insights. Are we good?

13:03 Cool deal. Um, let's go into it. I got the music here. We're going to start with some music. It's going to nice and good. Get some flow into there. Roll your neck if you need to. You're going to be in your position for a little bit. So I highly suggest you get comfortable. By Looks like you guys are comfortable.

13:47 If you haven't already, settle into this moment. As you breathe in and out through your nose skull. Breath down a bit. The edges of your eyes to soften.

14:29 Your jaw to be slightly open. Your shoulders to travel. Spoon come and go. Perfectly fine. You start thinking about this, or that. Did I forget to do this? I gotta do that. Come back to your breath. Silently repeating in. On the in breath. On the out breath.

15:20 Thoughts pass by. Slowings of your eyes melt. Jaw slightly open. Shoulders drop. Rhythm helps you to release.

16:01 And let go of any tension. This to your bottom ribs. Feel them flare out to the side on the in breath. Staying with this sensation on the ribs. For a few more breaths.

16:50 Bringing your attention to repeating in on the in breath. Out on the out breath. Thoughts come and go. Attention to your heart.

17:33 Slowly, if you need to shift or move, getting more comfortable. Softly, focusing on the area of your heart.

18:21 Slow and steady. So now, remember these words.

19:54 What is my perception? And if so, what needs to change? Allow yourself to silently complete that sentence. You can start with, what is my perception? What needs to change? Listen for your response, and as you hear it, silently repeat it back to yourself.

20:40 What is my perception? If so, what needs to change?

21:26 Next, as you hear these words, I need to shift my perspective to Allow yourself to Silently complete that sentence I need to shift my perspective to Listen to your response And as you hear it Silently repeat it back to yourself I need to shift my perspective to Listen to your response Mind you, the main focus today, how can shifting my perspective today positively impact my physical and emotional well being?

28:01 To shift my perspective to, as you hear your internal response to these words, Notice what becomes more clear. Listen from within.

28:43 Until my voice returns.

32:21 So now, as you slowly bring your attention back to the sound of my voice. Begin focusing a bit more on your inhalations. Helping you to become a little bit more alert and a little bit more awake. Your attention now, Centers in your heart as you listen from within for any last bits of guidance and direction.

33:25 Taking with you what is most important and meaningful. Give yourself three slower, deeper breaths. To take with you.

34:33 And now, your attention to your feet. Begin rotating your ankles as you point and flex your feet. Legs into your hips. To your chest. Cross your shoulders. Down your arms.

35:14 Opening and closing your hands. And into your throats. Your jaw slightly open. Edges of your eyes soft. Next breath, you're slowly going to open your eyes.

35:55 Feeling alert and relaxed. Refreshed. Grab your journal for a couple minutes. Touch base at, let's say, 8 12.

37:19 And Gio and John, if you haven't done so already, feel free to write in your journal. You don't have to.

38:12 How's it going? Hmm. Hmm. Feel free to, if you did write anything down, feel free to circle what stands out.

39:14 John or Gio, whichever, uh, wants to share a word or phrase, something that you felt the need to circle that you want to share. Um, I think I was too relaxed. I don't say this jokingly. So, um, one thing in yoga they always did is at the end, um, I would do like Savasana, where it's like you lay down. And so, um, I'm sitting on a plastic chair right now. So I was like, if we're going to get comfortable and be here for a little bit, I'm just gonna lay on my bed. And so I got like in a Sebastian Lake pose. I think I went to sleep. I lowkey think I went to sleep. I remember listening to music. I remember trying to focusing on my breath.

39:57 I started talking a little bit, and um, got to, I talked about today, something about like, I'm very against like, running an agency. Um, not that it's a bad business model or anything, but um, I just personally, I get more fulfillment, more enjoyment out of teaching than I do out of doing for others. And so like, I'd rather show someone the way than walk the path, um, for them. And um, One of my friends was thinking about starting like a real estate team. He's my age. Um, I think you know him G2, his name is G2. He's thinking about starting a real estate team and um, thinking about like how I could potentially like, like work in some type of content creation.

40:44 Cause my boy Darren that usually shows up to my events. Um, Every now and then we'll go to the office together and I'll have him use my camera. He'll create content we just kind of like go there and almost like Just work on our own stuff, but just be in the same room working together type of thing I think about like what that would potentially look like and then honestly after that everything kind of went blank for a little bit So that must've been a dream. I'm honestly not sure on it, but I looked at my time. It's already eight, almost eight 20. Yeah, it wasn't last time I checked my watch. It was way before seven 50 or I leave around seven 50. So yeah, I was out for a little bit.

41:27 Yeah. That was the last thing I remember. Okay. And so it's interesting that the first two things are two different paths and it sounds like you're clear on the path that you want to go on. And I forgot what the, the, I think it was the second, well, you, you, you totally mentioned two paths and, uh, I encourage you to continue to contemplate on that because it sounds like you're, you're already on that path of like, I want to make sure I do something that's, that's right for me and not just because it sounds edgy. So I appreciate you sharing that man, um, Gio, anything pop up for you?

42:08 You're on mute. Yeah. Congratulations, man. I just love your guided meditation. It's my favorite thing to do. So I was very excited, um, to get on this today. Um, that was just lovely, a lovely time. Um, like John, uh, just, just time just flies. And then, um, the only thing I did was, uh, I went to the void once more. And then, um, then I just ended up on a train that train was just full speed ahead, blurriness on the sides to the, and there was like plants just whizzing by.

42:50 And then, um, and that was the majority of it. I was just, you know, disarming, um, in my conceptual being of it and just Letting things go where they need to go and that's my interpretation of it all. Um, so I know what the void means for you. Um, feel free to share, uh, and fill anybody in if you want to, because, um, during our sessions, you ran into a void and I'm sure there are question marks that just popped Above people's heads, like in the Sims. Yeah.

43:31 It's just, uh, John, John and I did a four, four week, um, session when he was starting this, um, this new project business that he's doing right now. Uh, I think we went five weeks, right? He threw an extra one in there. I think we went all the way. Yeah. And so, um, quite interesting enough that, you know, most people have certain experiences when he's doing these things. I. I kept going into a, a void of black, pitch black, and um, and ironically, it was very soothing for me.

44:12 Um, and you know, John, John will tell you that his like, creation space, the safe space, I forgot what you call it, has all sorts of different, the sacred place, yeah. Has waterfalls and all this like designs and mine was just pure blackness and it's so beautiful and it's so nice to be there and it was like, what is going on in your mind? Yeah. And it happened for four weeks straight, almost five. And also, one really cool thing that came out of it is that my ex fiance kept coming up.

45:01 In the beginning of our, of the meditation, she just came up really hard. So, um, I actually, um, I think on the fourth week I had decided to, you know, have a nice zoom session with her. I think we, we chatted for about like five hours straight. Um, we just caught up and, um. And it was nice, you know, and then, um, and that was sweet. It was like, it was something that needed to happen in the meditation sort of floated that up, you know, I'm, I'm glad I did. And I appreciate you being authentic. And I forgot what the word is, just sharing yourself and that story.

45:42 Um, I do mention it. When people ask me questions, I'm like, sometimes that's why that's why you need the tissue because something that is completely unrelated might pop up and you might have to feel it. You feel the need to take care of it. And, um, like I was saying in the beginning, I'm like, I'm not here to give you advice. I'm just here to create that space. So you can. See yourself and where, what works best for you. And I would, I have to say the void was hard for me to not say anything. It's like, you know, some people like bungee jumping and like being this close to death. I'm not one of those people. But, hey, if the void works for you, it means something different to you than it does for me.

46:26 We're, we're speaking a different language internally. So I appreciate that that came up for you and that you got some insights from that. And I appreciate all you guys sharing a little bit about yourselves today. And I hope that, um, maybe you can continue journaling for yourself, um, during your time with yourself. When you, if, if you can find the time, I, if I were to suggest anything, find a time for yourself. And that, that's it. And, uh, I hope that you guys got a lot of today as far as like, uh, some deep insights and it's just cool to see where everybody's at and, and everybody needs some, some time to themselves and to, to get some warm apple pie and to, to reset.

47:11 And I'll fill you in geo later about what warm apple pie. It's not we, king I think he told me a little bit about it. Um, yeah. Hey, I sent it over to Joe, uh, Joe Che and, and, uh, Jason too, the guy I was talking about. And, uh, um, Jason ended up cancel canceling last minute, he got on a date, but he said he's looking forward to the next one. Yeah, and then also too, it does look like next month is going to be Tuesday. Um, a good amount of people have hectic Mondays and I thought this would be a good, um, break from, um, the normal hectic Monday, but I feel like I just added another thing and so let me just be the first to say that next month we'll be on a, on a Tuesday.

47:57 It'll be the same time. And, um, I'm excited. I'm thanks again for coming on Have a good, wonderful evening, guys, and we'll be in touch. Thanks, John. Namaste, brother. Take care.
