In this episode Deepak and I discuss the practical side of spirituality. He explains what scientific research has discovered about how a spiritual practice can significantly alter your life. Deepak also gives me a guided meditation. The meditation is in the second half of this part and includes a deconstruction of the method and why it works. Recorded in 2019 this episode, Part 2 of 2, continues to give and give. Come for the conversation, stay for the powerful meditation.
In this week’s "best of" episode, part 1 of 2, Deepak and I chatted about the nature of consciousness, He unloaded his extensive knowledge of the cosmos, described what it means to be embodied, shared his understanding of what a belief in God is or means, and listed some of the reasons people suffer from existential crises. It was a wonderful exchange. Enjoy. (Originally published September, 2019)
Best-selling author of The Tapping Solution, Nick Ortner is here! He describes the technique known as Tapping, which is a natural healing method that combines ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology. .Nick tells us the science behind Tapping (also known as Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT) and describes how it effects the brain and the body. Tapping, he says, can turn off the flight-or-flight mode, to help the body relax and heal. He has been developing and practicing this technique for a long time, and has helped people from all walks of life--including high functioning athletes, people with chronic pain, those suffering from grief, and others. In this episode (originally published in 2021) Nick also does a live Tapping demo with me to help me with a specific issue I’m dealing with.

Russell, I was missing your Stay Free show and decided to listen here. I continue to pray for you, your family, and your crew during this current situation. I'm very sorry that your being attacked like this. It's abhorrent that they're reaching way back after you've healed your traumas and addictions. You have been so transparent about your past AND your healing, awakening, and changes on all platforms. It's quite clear that they're attacking you in an effort to shut you up.

when she said "transcend," she falls in self identity. The other day, I was listening to an Orthodox christian priest who broke down about the original sin, self. When an individual replaces themself over God's will they in turn, live a life of constant denial of the world He created. This leads to other tribal mindsets that divide the community or the individual from their own higher power. To transcend is to leave all mortal realm distractions behind, which is a mortal death. Most live dead to the world around them, thinking they are awakened or "woke." A philosophical and theological debate that has been going on for eons, of what is our purpose on this Earth is for. Yes, I know atheist will attack my line of thinking because in atheist world view it is self not a higher power that guides themself.

Vegan argument There is a difference between being vegan for a personal choices such as underlying health conditions versus doing it as a social trend. My new doctor talked about how he is vegan because of his high blood pressure and diabetes. But he was surprised reviewing my liver enzymes test that I had better results than him. I pointed out that due to generational ancestry and genetics, his family line lives in cold weather climate regions that require fatty foods to survive the harsh winters. Those who live closer to the equator require less fatty foods since the weather is warmer. My personal diet is comprised of rice, beans, and low meat content. What works for one person may not work for another person. Talk to your doctor to find a nutrition plan that works with your own genetics.

-If you can exacerbate people's fear and uncertainty and deliver an enemy you can rule the world. *just finished talking about how white men were attacking women and minority rights and were needed control over others Can anyone else see the irony here? Then of course there is the "I'm married to a good white man" and Brand chimes in how he's good too because he's enlightened. I expected better from Brand.

I just realized how often people in the *NEWS* and now on Podcasts, when talking about basically people in charge whether it be hospital, business, government... you, they, say *Elite's* why do we give them that power? It's bad enough what they do and what these leeches think of themselves

To know you is to Love You , the more I listen to You the better my opinion is of your content. You have whats lacking almost everywhere A Desire to not only uncover the Truth but to broadcast it for everyone to hear whatever that Truth may be. And that is the hook for me the Uncommon Common Sense I find every time I listen, Thank You Russel
