Darren Weissman: Pleasure, thanks so much Wendy.

Wendy Myers: learnaboutdarren21 So why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself and your background?

Darren Weissman: I have been a practicing holistic physician for going on 26 years now. My first initiation into the medical model was just struggling as a child and wanting to have another way other than what I knew, and I was raised in the medical model. And so I studied to be a medical doctor but I didn't like the concept of taking a pill for every symptom but didn't know anything different. Through circumstances I was introduced to chiropractic and that opened up a whole world for me as far as just understanding the body's natural ability to heal itself.

Darren Weissman: One room ended up opening another door to another room, I discovered acupuncture and Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine and the chakras and the essence of kinesiology, applied kinesiology, different systems like that, homeopathy, studying in Sri Lanka, studying in China. Getting into the mind and trauma and emotions, neuro emotional technique, EMDR. I just became super passionate about these incredible ways that we can invoke our fullest and greatest potential, peak potential as a human being.

Darren Weissman: That led me to, in 2002, awakening to a unified system of all these different parts that come together in an elegant, step by step fashion, called the LifeLine Technique. This is something that I've been teaching for the past 17 years around the world, to anyone who's just eager to know about themselves and their subconscious mind and their emotions and how this affects us as far as our health and wellbeing, physically, mentally, emotionally, behaviorally, and how to create really quick, effective, laser like shifts in our mind and then as a result, optimize our health and bring out our best self.

Wendy Myers: Yeah I mean if anyone needs something right now it's a lifeline. And that's why I wanted to have you come on the show because you've worked with trauma victims around the world and really as an expert in this have helped, I mean tens of thousands of people dealing with trauma. Can you talk a little about your work in that field?

Darren Weissman: Yeah. I'll give a direct example. A little over 10 years ago, prior to this past year, the biggest fire in Australia's history, this past year was the biggest fire in Australia's history but prior to that biggest fire was north of Melbourne in a place called Kinglake, the fire ended up killing hundreds of people, families, children, it was as brutal. Myself and a group of other certified LifeLine practitioners were given special badges to go behind the lines and into the areas where we could actually work with the people who had survived.

Darren Weissman: We had never really had that experience at that level before. There was one house that stayed standing, it was a woman named Ronda McGibney, everything around her was just charred, there was just cars that were just charred and fireplaces, just the brick that was there, tricycles. It was a horrific scene. Went in there and we worked with person after person, people that have lost everything, their lives, their family members, their neighbors, and what was amazing as a result, and we'll go into the detail of how this happens, but as a result of going into the fire as what I like to call the portal versus the problem. A portal is a doorway, it's a doorway into the next greatest version of ourself, and in the LifeLine we bring people to a step by step process that enables them to rather than being in the movie, being an observer of the movie.

Darren Weissman: And that changes everything. At the end of that day, at the end of the multiple days that we were there, all these people whose lives were absolutely destroyed and changed forever and horrific and tragic, were able to see a different... see the experience from a different lens. Feel it with a different filter. And that enabled growth to begin.

Darren Weissman: What was really amazing is just as we were driving on in, one of the most haunting parts of that experience was the forest which was just expansive was just bare and charred. There was no sound, there was no birds, but what was amazing is there had been one rain and that one rain when we got out just to look around, just to take it in, you could see sprouts growing in the ashes.

Darren Weissman: I know that with what's going on right now it's so traumatic on so many levels. Emotionally what's going on for so many people, it's triggering such deeper layers of memories that we don't even know are there, that are being brought to the surface. When we learn how to, and I'm going to keep it simple, move through this with love in the face of fear, learn how to take action in the face of reaction, that things start to grow. Things start to grow.

Darren Weissman: I was telling you before we started my family and I just traveled for a long time, we just came back as a result of what's going on with COVID-19. Where that fire was, it's completely been restored. In Australia they've just recently experienced a whole other level of tragedy and now this. But change is life, life is change, and when we can move through trauma, PTSD, post-traumatic stress, we become more resilient, we discover that there's post-traumatic growth that exists in it. We just need tools and strategies to support ourselves.

Wendy Myers: Yeah. We have to learn to adapt. And we have to deal with change, as comfortable as that may be. And I like that you're talking about shifting our perspective and looking at this as perhaps an opportunity, an opportunity for growth, because there's... And I'm doing the same thing, I decided this week to move to Texas to be near my family and it's very difficult in the face of what's going on right now and it's stressful enough as it is.

Wendy Myers: I think everyone is going through a grieving process in reevaluating their lives, reevaluating family, like who they have in their lives that they can maybe group with, finances, just everything and it's... I'm definitely going through a grieving process as well, and so I'm very much looking forward to what you have to say, so talk to us about this LifeLine process that you develop, what does that look like? How can we employ that?

Darren Weissman: Well, what it looks like is a step by step process for helping us change our perception. We perceive in life not truth, but we perceive in life what we believe. And so inside of each of us, inside of our minds, wired into our nervous system, are these core beliefs of who we think we are, and experiences that we've had. And these beliefs become a way in how we see ourselves and the world around us, these beliefs become a filter that in one moment a particular belief gets triggered and it could be the most beautiful thing or it could be the most negative thing and we're on one spectrum or the other, perception in any given moment is based upon core beliefs.

Darren Weissman: And so the LifeLine uses... It's a flowchart that I literally downloaded in a moment of clarity or insanity, I'm not sure which one. I had a vision of everything that I'd studied and things that I'd seen, things that I'd never seen. And I yelled to my girlfriend who's now my wife, "Babe, get me a pen and paper," and I scribbled out this flowchart that is a roadmap of the mind. The mind's this invisible field.

Darren Weissman: With this process, that's called kinesiology, muscle reflex testing, we're able to know, we're able to use the nervous system as a feedback for shifting these anxious, worrying, limited, I'm not enough patterns, beliefs in our mind that are affecting directly the health of our body, affecting how we show up in any and every given moment, we're able to shift these with specific intention. We're able to create a consciousness that empowers us to discover that at the core of where we have limiting beliefs is truly a core of infinite potential.

Darren Weissman: It's built upon, Wendy, one philosophy and I touched on it a little bit, but it's so simple that it often just kind of like goes past us. The philosophy is that there are no problems. And this sounds really naïve because we go, well, I'm in pain, I am traumatized, I'm so fearful, what am I going to do? I can't work, I've got a family member who is in the hospital, I can't see them, somebody died. There's so many intense things that are happening right now.

Darren Weissman: We're not saying just because something isn't a problem that it's a portal, we're not saying that it's not painful. Life's painful. Life's scary. Life's stressful. But when we choose to look at it as meaningful, like maybe there's a pattern here. Maybe there's something that's going on here that goes beyond what I can recognize in this given moment. Maybe this might be on some level, it seems crazy because it's so traumatizing and tragic, maybe this is happening for me on some level.

Darren Weissman: And if we're just open to that, and I've just come to know, I've done over 100,000 LifeLine sessions, I train people all around the world, I've been to people that have been through genocide in Rwanda, and I have been with people who experienced trauma that has caused their minds to dissociate in multiple different places, and I've come to a realization. It's not about fixing, it's not about making anything go away, it's not about you're broken and I'm going to be the healer for you. That there's an intelligence in fear. There's a wisdom in the patterns of symptoms in disease.

Darren Weissman: Individually and collectively, because we're all one. If this hasn't proven that I don't know what does. So the biggest thing is there are no problems, there's only portals, and so that's so simple to say but it's a real long learning curve, and especially maybe if you're new to doing inner work and you've just like wow, I'm being thrown into this, or even if I've done a lot of inner work and it just brought up so much. At what point isn't it a portal? It's always a portal. And now how would we apply the LifeLine?

Darren Weissman: So if I like, okay, I want to get to the root of my subconscious. How do I do that? The subconscious is like a submarine, it's sub, it's invisible. You don't see it unless it shoots a torpedo or it surfaces or you've got sonar. We've got sonar, LifeLine Technique, it's sonar. And we're able to dance with this invisible partner called the subconscious mind through kinesiology and these specific steps that enable us to make contact with these memories that live in our subconscious mind, memories that have not yet been fully processed, that are emotionally charged. Memories that when our environment triggers them, boom, they come to life.

Darren Weissman: And the design, Wendy, is amazing, because our brain and our body aren't designed to know the difference between memory or reality or imagination. So we can use then intention, imagination, observation, we can use affirmations triggering different senses to evoke the subconscious mind and create a rapport, create a loving, compassionate, gentle relationship with a part of ourself that up until now we've been afraid of, we've hated, we've judged, we've hid, we've been shamed by. That we're able to create a connection that's authentic and meaningful.

Darren Weissman: I know Greg Bradon just recently talked about this as far as you were talking about we're all grieving. We're all grieving, for sure, and the stages of grief. Denial, anger. Depression, bargaining. Acceptance. And then he talked about

how the next stage, the evolved stage beyond what Elizabeth Kubler Ross talked about in the five stages of grief, the six stages, finding meaning. That when we can find meaning in a circumstance, then we've changed our perception. Wayne Dyer said it, change the way you view things, the things that you view change.

Darren Weissman: But when I'm viewing through the lens of a memory of a three year old little boy that was in an environment, where Mom and Dad were what Mom and Dad were, that circumstances were angry, insecure, not safe, not supported, whatever they might have been, everyone is healing from something. Then that three year old little boy or girl, it takes over. And then all of a sudden I can't beat that. My subconscious mind, your subconscious mind, our subconscious mind is seven times faster than our greatest ninja trained self.

Darren Weissman: So we could be good meditators, I could be doing affirmations all day long, I could be doing all kinds of things. When the subconscious mind gets triggered it's always going to be on the leading edge, because it's not happening to us it's happening for us. It's being triggered all day long. Every three to five seconds, into subtle to sometimes big, now it's big. React to patterns of fear that evoke what I like to call the triad where our environment hijacks our heart, now our heart is beating based upon the environmental vibration of let's just call it fear, and now as the heart is beating with this, send a signal to the brain, the brain is just the brain, the brain is just transducing information, taking information from the outside, energy from the outside and turning it into electrical signals that we can hear, smell, taste, feel.

Darren Weissman: The brain takes that fear, produces chemicals of fear. These chemicals of fear are coursing through our bloodstream, binding to ourselves just like a virus. I call it a thought virus. Where it impregnates ourselves and now ourselves, on a DNA level, its epigenetic level, but it's a reactive epigenetic level, are being programmed by fear. So the cells are feeling, functioning, and forming new cells of fear. And then that perpetuates even a deeper level of stress. Other than the COVID-19 coronavirus and the 5G patterns of electromagnetic frequencies and all these different aspects of economic implosion that is going on around the world.

Darren Weissman: We've got to stop, we've got to get present, and we need to begin to make a connection, a loving, compassionate, gentle... I like this word a lot. Curious connection with this invisible subconscious mind so that we can learn to use it as a tool rather than what's happening in our world, Wendy. Where our subconscious mind has become this tormentor that has then created a whole different level of pandemonium and reaction and fear. And it doesn't have to be that way. This is a step by step process.

Wendy Myers: Yeah. And I think people don't... I feel like right now that a lot of us, that feel like we're very emotionally stable, had been through a major rollercoaster of stress and fear and anxiety. So I can only imagine maybe people that have had a lot of trauma in the past, maybe haven't dealt with or didn't know how to deal with

that aren't aware of it, because consciously a lot of people that have had trauma think, oh I'm fine, I had therapy, or I did this, or that's not bothering me.

Wendy Myers: But that trauma imprint can still be there. It doesn't have to be anything really horrifying, it can just be something you weren't emotionally ready to deal with at the time that is still kind of imprinted on your subconscious affecting your mental emotions, and your health as well. Can you talk a little about that?

Darren Weissman: Yeah. The imprints are... they're conditions, they're conditioning, they're Pavlovian. And what I mean but that is just for people that might not know the Pavlovian condition dog, Pavlov starved a dog, not to death, but the dog was angry. Showed the dog some meat, rang a bell, showed the dog some meat, rang a bell, rang a bell didn't show him meat, dog salivated. The dog salivated to something that had nothing to do with eating. It was conditioned, it was imprinted. It left a fingerprint on the soul, the nervous system of that puppy dog.

Darren Weissman: And so that happens with us primarily between the ages of conception and seven, at least in this life here, where the cement of the mind is wet, and absolutely impressionable. And everything and everyone around us, their consciousness, their abilities, their inabilities, and their ability to own their power directly influences everything about us. Not right, wrong, good or bad, I mean people at their core truly, I believe, are loving. But we can't give what we don't have to give. So a domino effect happens.

Darren Weissman: And so whether it be subtle to extreme levels of fear, or patterns that are imprinted within us, when they do get triggered by colors, sounds, and there's my doggy right there saying... Hold one second, he wants to get out this room. When we get triggered by literally the color blue, the sound of a robin singing, a smell of spaghetti sauce, certain types of sensory stimuli activate these imprints and they, in an instant, come to the surface. And now I'm not able to perceive the reality that I'm in, I'm perceiving through whatever memory hasn't been processed.

Darren Weissman: And you're so right, it can be subtle or it can be extreme levels of trauma or loss that we've accrued, shocks that we've accrued, experienced in our life. There's this concept that's called T-minus one. Have you heard of T-minus one?

Wendy Myers: No, I haven't.

Darren Weissman: Okay, so T-minus one is really, it's an interesting phenomena of the mind and of the brain. And T-minus one is in any given moment, when are not able to take action, move towards something, when we're not able to willfully move towards something, and the environment around us isn't able to hold us and move towards something, then the subconscious mind says, "I got you. I'm going to now do my first primary job for you, I'm going to protect you."

Darren Weissman: What it does is it goes like this. It takes a snapshot picture of sounds, colors, smells, taste, touch, feelings, everything that's going on in that moment and it downloads it into short-term memory files. Then T, perceived trauma, T-minus one, perceived trauma minus one millisecond. It backs up one millisecond. So literally what it does, the subconscious mind, is it programs us to forget. Because it doesn't allow the brain, the limbic reptilian doesn't allow the frontal part of the brain, the prefrontal cortex that makes us really smart, creative, compassionate, present, curious. Doesn't allow us to have access to that.

Darren Weissman: We go T-minus one. So we've been programmed to forget. So meanwhile, I'll just continue to stay on that three or four year old little boy. Here I am at 10 or 19 or 23 or 35 or I'm going to be 52, here I am and that gets triggered by what? One of those senses that is downloaded in the short-term memory. Now the color, now the smell, now the taste, now the feeling. We immediately forget, we're in a form of a trance, a hypnotic state of amnesia. We're not... And it literally becomes a state of being, and that state of being is really subtle on some levels, and other levels it can take us to the place of complete dissociation and walling off. There's different levels of this.

Darren Weissman: Nevertheless, it's a portal. And so what I really encourage people to do is to get curious and go, all right, what's triggering me? Who's triggering me? What do I think about and then I get triggered? A lot of people are like, "I don't want to think about that." No, you know what, let's be curious. I'm going to teach you something really simple, because there's a simple, simple, simple application of LifeLine and then there's an elegant, intricate component and an art of becoming a practitioner and guiding people through the depth of evolutionary change. But in the moment I'm going to teach you something really cool.

Darren Weissman: So right now there's a lot of things that trigger us. We can think about our loved ones, we can think about how we're feeling lonely, we can think about politics, we can think about finances, we can think about I've got a move going on, oh my goodness, how am I going to get movers, are there movers these days and different things like there's so many different things. But just notice what triggers you. And then just ask yourself this question. Would I choose to feel the way I'm feeling right now? Would I choose to feel anxious? Would I choose to feel out of control? Would I choose to feel overwhelmed? Would I choose to feel helpless or powerless? Would I choose to be sick with any symptoms, duress or disease? What's the answer every time, Wendy? Would you choose to feel helpless, sad, anxious, powerless, overwhelmed?

Wendy Myers: No. I am always going to choose to try to feel better or feel positive or find the solution. But in the past when I was maybe not as adept emotionally, I would succumb to helplessness and depression.

Darren Weissman: But that's not out of choice, that's called succumbing.

Wendy Myers: Yeah, succumbing, exactly.

Darren Weissman: Right. So it's a stupid question but I like to call it the truth question because everyone answers this question the same way. The answer is hell no I'm not choosing to feel fearful or out of control or helpless, or like this is the end of the world and nothing will happen beyond this. The answer is no way I would never choose this, of course not. But here's the education. When were aware and when we are observing what triggers us, we're aware. When we're aware, we're conscious. And only when we're conscious can we choose.

Darren Weissman: Our conscious mind makes up 2-10% of our mind. Only when we're conscious, only when we're aware do we have a choice. So when we're aware of something that of course we wouldn't choose, that's the sweet spot. That's not the active choosing mind, that's the subconscious reactive mind. And that's the programmed, imprinted, conditioned mind.

Wendy Myers: Yeah. I think it's also important to realize that you're more bound to succumb if you don't have a tool set that you can use to help get you to a different mindset.

Darren Weissman: Right. And so a way to shift judgment of yourself or the world around you, in any given moment, is simply just observe. What, who, where does it trigger me, what it does it take now I'm triggered? Especially when we're close, we've got three kids, 15, 13, 11, we've been traveling for 10 months together really close, now it just continues on, right, here we are. Different things start to heat up. What triggers you? Who triggers you? What do they say? Like

Darren Weissman: And now I've reached the boiling point, now I'm angry, I'm afraid, I'm overwhelmed, I'm giving up, I'm cowering, whatever it might be. Would I choose it? Hell no. I wouldn't. That's the subconscious mind, you made contact, awesome. Now, the simple ER 911 move is this. This hand posture. This hand posture means I love you in American sign language. You take this hand posture because love is the answer. Choosing love in the face of fear. You want a miracle? The course of miracle says evolving fear into love is a miracle.

Darren Weissman: So we have an opportunity for massive miracles in our world right now because there's a lot of fear, so take love, put it over your heart like a warm blanket and join me with this one. Put love right over your heart right now. And connect to that beautiful heart of yours who is courageously showing up in the world right now to make a huge difference because people need what you're doing right now. And people are so desperate for a lifeline, like you said.

Darren Weissman: And connect to your heart because that takes a lot of courage and it's a big responsibility but it has to be done, now is the time. Not tomorrow, not a week, now is the time. And just connect to your own emotions, connect to your own feelings. And now, here's the secret sauce. The words infinite love and gratitude. Go ahead and say that. Infinite love and gratitude.

Wendy Myers: Infinite love and gratitude.

Darren Weissman: Infinite love and gratitude.

Wendy Myers: Infinite love and gratitude.

Darren Weissman: Take a deep healing breath. Infinite love and gratitude. These words, this hand posture, is a universal healing frequency. It's very simple, it doesn't work if you don't use it, but our mind, when it's in a thought of fear, feeling of fear, biology of fear, behavior of fear around people that are fearful, when we... you don't even have to put this over your heart but just do it, it's fun. Right? It's fun. Put it over your heart, lock on in, get into your superhero powers like Spider-Man, put it over your heart and go infinite love and gratitude.

Darren Weissman: And the brain cannot be in love and fear at the same time, it can't. It's binary. It's just the nature of the system. So as you do that you'll start to notice as I'm even around this person or thinking about this situation you'll start noticing the sharp edges soften. You'll start noticing oh my heart slows down, my breathing starts to relax, I start to get an inner sense of calm and peace. Confidence starts to grow. I start to feel a light, which is called joy inside, simply yet profoundly, infinite love and gratitude.

Darren Weissman: Now, there's a whole other art and science to this that enables people to make deep connection and then guide this subconscious part that's been caught in the hamster wheel, the groundhog day, right? That's been caught in this imprint conditioning way of being. There's a way to do that and I've trained people around the world to become certified in the LifeLine and to know that there are tools that you can use for your own self-mastery, for your own raising of consciousness. I'm actually doing a free program on the 18th of April, three weeks, 18th, 27th, and May 2nd, where it's three weeks, hour and a half each week, where I'm guiding people through an awesome process. We're going to be doing some really deep healing and support to help to process these emotions for physical health, for emotional health, and understanding how to create and design and manifest in our world today. So tools are important.

Wendy Myers: Yeah, I love that. So can you talk a little bit about this process, like this step by step process and just maybe the highlights. I know you'll be going in depth in that three week...

Darren Weissman: Yeah, I mean I've got a whole year long certification program and even in the three weeks it's like we're going to be scratching the surface but we're going to be making massive change to empower people to know it's possible. But the first thing is about getting connected. I'm happy to guide you through the connection, if you'd like?

Wendy Myers: Yes, absolutely, let's do it.

Darren Weissman: Okay, the first step is called the connection. It's kind of like tuning an instrument before you play it. It's much better to tune that guitar before you get on the

strings. Our body is an instrument and our body has strings of consciousness that are called acupuncture meridians, and it has specific areas along what are called the power centers, the chakras, where energy goes in and out of the body, and everything is energy.

Darren Weissman: So I invite you to follow me with this process. It's acupuncture without needles, it's kind of like a qigong type of process, the only thing that you need to know how to do and anyone who's following right now, just follow Wendy and I in this process. The only thing that you need to know to do is when I go infinite love and gratitude, you simply go infinite love and gratitude as well.

Darren Weissman: So I invite you to take a deep healing breath. And as you exhale, just take a moment right now to acknowledge that right now in this very present moment you are showing up to the very most important person in the entire world. That no one can show up for you, for us, for ourselves, as well as we can. And when we do show up for ourselves, then we give other people permission to be a part of our dream team. We begin the connection by taking either hand, either hand, all five fingers including the thumb, together. Just like this. Put it right to the crown of your head. This point up here is your spirit point, and Wendy, and all the listeners, your spirit's pure love.

Darren Weissman: Take your hand in the I love you posture. Put it right over the center of your chest. We're raising the vibration of every single one of the cells of your body right now, that are naturally designed to heal, completely regenerate because you're already whole. We do this by saying out loud, infinite love and gratitude.

Wendy Myers: Infinite love and gratitude.

Darren Weissman: Keep your hand on your heart, lift up the crown point, gently touch it back down. We're raising the vibration between your feeling, passionate heart, and your spirit, and divine light that is the truth of who you are. Infinite love and gratitude.

Wendy Myers: Infinite love and gratitude.

Darren Weissman: Awesome. Take both hands away, touch then down at the same time. As we unify, we harmonize the spirit and the body, one feel the pure love is in the driver's seat right now, infinite love and gratitude.

Wendy Myers: Infinite love and gratitude.

Darren Weissman: Relax. Take a deep healing breath. Let it go. Let go of any negative thoughts, limiting beliefs, judgments, so that we can be fully present right now. Open up your palms, either one works perfect, put it right over your forehead. We're activating the mind. Your mind's infinite. Your mind creates your thoughts. And our thoughts create our reality. And when we don't like our reality it's a sign, time to change the way we think. So with love, we align our mind with our

heart, and the passion and the desires that live within. Infinite love and gratitude. Infinite love and gratitude.

Wendy Myers: Infinite love and gratitude.

Darren Weissman: Keep your hand on your heart, lift it away from the forehead, gently touch it back down. We're opening our heart, and you know what? That takes courage. As you open your brave heart, to what? Your mind, your imagination, your dreams. A whole new level of possibilities begin right now. Infinite love and gratitude.

Wendy Myers: Infinite love and gratitude.

Darren Weissman: And take both hands away and touch them down at the same time, we're unifying the mind and the body one infinite field of the purest potential where everything's possible, this my friends is where we go from having dreams to living them. Infinite love and gratitude.

Wendy Myers: Infinite love and gratitude.

Darren Weissman: And relax. Take a deep healing breath. Let it go. It's time to connect to nature. Because nature, mother nature, is our nature. And the constant here on this incredible planet is change. Not random, seasonal. There's cycles. Full moon, there's cycles, from stars, migration pathways, the more we're connected to the elements of nature, the more we take on this incredible ability to dance and change. So I invite you to take your hands in the I love you posture and everything right now imagine that one of your hands, and either one works perfect, one of your hands is the roots of a very healthy tree. And point it down towards the ground and just plug in, just go like this...

Darren Weissman: There you go. And feel yourself reaching deep, feel yourself connecting to the core, the magnetic liquid core of mother earth. Take your other hand and put it over your heart and feel in your body because you are a body of water, feel yourself like an ocean wave crashing up on the shore, this energy is our energy. I invite you to repeat. I am a thriving body.

Wendy Myers: I am a thriving body.

Darren Weissman: Infinite love and gratitude.

Wendy Myers: Infinite love and gratitude.

Darren Weissman: Stay plugged in, bring it on out as we align our mind with the mind of nature, the mind that recognizes that change is not only natural, but change is necessary. I invite you to repeat. I am a thriving mind.

Wendy Myers: I am a thriving mind.

Darren Weissman: Infinite love and gratitude.

Wendy Myers: Infinite love and gratitude.

Darren Weissman: Stay plugged in, this hand all the fingers at the crown, aligning our spirit with the spirit of nature, the spirit of the wind. Free and easy. I invite you to repeat, I am a thriving spirit.

Wendy Myers: I am a thriving spirit.

Darren Weissman: Infinite love and gratitude.

Wendy Myers: Infinite love and gratitude.

Darren Weissman: Take a deep healing breath. Let it go. As we open up our palms we appreciate that there's two of them, right? We're totally grateful, like wow. We've got two arms and two hands and if you don't, infinite love and gratitude, God bless you. Take a moment to appreciate that we are a part of a world that is a world of duality. Masculine in feminine. North pole, south pole; positive, negative; love and fear. But I've come to know that duality is not reality.

Darren Weissman: The reality is this. Love is the truth. What love does is it brings us together. As you bring your hands together, and you bring it into your heart's center, you'll feel the back of your thumbs fit into this sternal depression, it's made for that. You, right now, are consciously connecting to the field of energy that connects all of creation. Whatever you call it, however you get there, it's beautiful and it's celebrated and feel the light of the divine illuminating from within. Feel it breathing you. I invite you to repeat, I am a body of oneness.

Wendy Myers: I am a body of oneness.

Darren Weissman: All is well.

Wendy Myers: All is well.

Darren Weissman: Infinite love and gratitude.

Wendy Myers: Infinite love and gratitude.

Darren Weissman: Bring it on up. Realign our mind with the mind of oneness. I am a mind of oneness.

Wendy Myers: I am a mind of oneness.

Darren Weissman: All is well with my mind.

Wendy Myers: All is well with my mind.

Darren Weissman: Infinite love and gratitude.

Wendy Myers: Infinite love and gratitude.

Darren Weissman: Bring it all the way up. As we align our spirit with the most high vibration. I am a spirit of oneness.

Wendy Myers: I am a spirit of oneness.

Darren Weissman: We are all one.

Wendy Myers: We are all one.

Darren Weissman: And so it is.

Wendy Myers: And so it is.

Darren Weissman: Infinite love and gratitude.

Wendy Myers: Infinite love and gratitude.

Darren Weissman: Relax your arms, take a deep healing breath, and welcome to the present moment. The instrument's tuned, now just pay attention. Be aware that you're aware. Notice that you have the ability to notice. Observe how it feels to be here in your body. In the room that you're in, in the space that we've created. Wendy, I'm curious, what do you notice about how it feels to be present?

Wendy Myers: You know, it feels very relieving. I think that like a lot of people, I'm getting... I need to do daily exercises or meditations to stay focused. It's a practice, it's a bit of work, because it's very easy to start thinking about the future and worrying about that or worrying about the past or what have you, what's going to happen, there's this fear and uncertainty a lot of people are dealing with, and they have to stay present and grounded or you just kind of succumb to this cumulative, cautious fear the world is experiencing right now.

Darren Weissman: Yeah. We get caught in the riptide. You know, and if we're not educated about the riptide, the natural tendency is to fight against it but it's okay that the mind goes into the future and has anxiety. It's okay. It's okay that we go I wish I would have, could have, should have, got that online business or done this or whatever it might be. It's okay. Be compassionate, be gentle, be curious with this part. No one chooses pain, fear, and stress, yet we all experience it. We're all healing, Wendy, from something.

Darren Weissman: The second step of the LifeLine, and we're not going to go into it now because it's a whole other process, and it's a strategic intelligence, step by step way of creating relationship with this part that can't stay present, with this part who is caught in the riptide, who is the riptide, and the riptide is meaning. It's not to kill

people. It's part of the circulation of the ocean. And when we learn, like oh, when I allow and I let it go I can just easily swim to the side and then come on in, that there's a natural law that not only lives in nature but lives in our mind and therefore influences how we feel and therefore influences how we heal and that when we influence how we heal our presence becomes a healer for others, and this is so important right now.

Darren Weissman: I've been... I'm so grateful I know what I know, and people that know the LifeLine, they're so grateful that they know what they know. And I knew at some point in my life because once you know this, you know this, I knew that there would be a time I life that this would be so important for people, I had no idea it would look like this. I knew that at some point people on the planet would need this to do what I feel is the most important thing a human being could ever learn how to do and that is stay in the present moment and process your emotions.

Darren Weissman: That makes or breaks a relationship, a business, health, our ability to stay present and process emotions is the making or breaking of every minute to magnificent experience of life is that, and the LifeLine is a process to empower us in this way, with infinite love and gratitude.

Wendy Myers: Yeah. I mean a lot of people are feeling fear right now but that has a purpose, it's a survival mechanism that can propel you into action. And certainly I'm moving, I think a lot of people are doing things they might not normally do because they just want to feel like they want to take action, or take control, feel some measure of control, but you have to do these... you have to have some sort of tool set to stay present in the now as well. I love that, it's so important.

Darren Weissman: Yeah. When we're aware of something and it's scary, the reality is if you can do something about it, do it. But if you're in a moment where you're scared and there's really nothing you can do about it right then and there, then that's a time for a lifeline.

Darren Weissman: So I notice something going on, I get a gut instinct, don't trust that, don't do that, go do this, then take action if you can. But if you're like well, I don't know what the outcome of this is going to be and I'm really scared, but I'm really not in any imminent danger right now in this present moment. Meanwhile I'm thinking catastrophic outcomes. When we find ourselves in that moment, that is a sign that that imprint, that condition T-minus one, that memory that hasn't been processed is being activated.

Darren Weissman: And that is happening for us. Not to us. That is the portal to the next greatest version of ourselves as individuals, but we're all interconnected. It's an evolutionary component of human beings that we are awakening to the power of compassion, to understanding, to acceptance, to love, to forgiveness. When does the war stop? You killed my sister, you killed my brother. At what point do we find a common ground and then take action in an authentic direction of reciprocal, committed, loving, compassionate, kind relationships? At what point?

Darren Weissman: And that point is when everyone says, "Hell no I wouldn't choose this." When you talk to anyone who is in any level of pain, fear, and stress, whether it be the wars in the Middle East or whether it be what's going on with all aspects of COVID-19, corona-19, nobody would choose this yet we're all experiencing it. So our ability to respond, which is about taking responsibility, our ability to respond versus react to the reactions, versus fear of the fear, rather than being angry that you're angry or frustrated that you're frustrated, our ability to go, well, hey, heart, you're scared, you're afraid you're overwhelmed. I'm going to give you permission to feel it consciously right now. I'm going to feel it, infinite love and gratitude, I hate it, infinite love and gratitude, it sucks, infinite love and gratitude, oh my god, infinite love and gratitude, ah.

Darren Weissman: And then I find this center point and then I go deeper into my heart and I go, "Heart, what do you desire to feel? What do you desire to feel?" And if you stay still, and it might take a minute, five minutes, who cares if it takes 30 minutes. Your heart will talk. It will create a feeling, it will speak with a voice, it will give you a vision. Maybe it will say, "This is what mine just said." Confident. My heart just said confident.

Darren Weissman: So now I use the second golden rule and I say I'm focusing not only where I'm going because my heart's my leader, but I'm going there as if I'm already there. Because the brain and body don't know the difference between memory, reality, or imagination. So I'm going to take it to the summit, the peak point of the mountain. Where I'm living the dream.

Darren Weissman: So if I was already confident I could say, "I am confident. I am confident. I am confident." And now we begin to create a vibration that is of a higher self vibration that came from the heart authentically from within ourselves, within us, that enables us from this I am confident space to create a loving relationship with that part that has been imprinted and conditioned. And there's this dynamic, it's a dance, and it's so magnificent. It's beautiful. It's alchemy.

Wendy Myers: Yeah. And I think a lot of people are trying to make sense of this, maybe making decisions about their life, and you don't want to make decisions out of fear, you need to get still and listen to your heart, and you have to be still to get correct messages from your intuition, you have to make decisions based on your intuitions and you have to do exercises like this and get still to get these proper intuitive messages, and then make decisions based on that, not out of fear.

Darren Weissman: Right, because decisions out of fear will create realities out of fear. And when we're focusing on avoiding or making go away and now we're all in social isolation, and so we're all about avoiding getting away. That's fear, that's what fear does. Love says, "All right, I'm the common denominator, I take responsibility for where I'm at, what I'm feeling, what I'm experiencing, and in the face of this, this is where I'm going." When we can learn that simple step, getting present, let myself be infinite love and gratitude, hell no I'm not choosing this, what does my heart desire? There's a process here.

Darren Weissman: Then we can truly begin to make more confident, rational decisions. Man I would love to have a session with some political leaders right now. I'd really love to have a session with some political leaders right now so that we can get present because there's so many things at stake. So many things. And would I choose that? Heck no. Not a chance. And this is the game and every day we start over and life's a practice versus a perfect, and just do your best because your best is always enough. Just do your best, that makes a big difference.
