Today, we're going to have an interesting conversation about the power of intuition.

I want to talk about manifestation and getting in those kind of flow optimals dates.

She's the number one New York Times bestselling author.

Oprah Winfrey calls her one of a next generation thought leaders and I've had the blessing to be able to share stage with her multiple times.

She has an incredible podcast, Gabby Burstein.

We just recorded your podcast where I was a guest.

I encourage everyone to listen to your podcast, but you and I were chatting off camera about the power of intuition and this is something, and even in our interview, you're mentioning the gut because there is this gut-brain axis and I know you've done a lot of research into manifestation.

So I was just curious, what's your approach to the science of intuition, manifestation, flow states?

I mean, you and I could talk for hours on this subject.

Well, I'm actually not gonna give you any science.

I'm just gonna give you firsthand experience.

So I was gonna give you firsthand experience because I've been a meditator since I was six years old.

My mom brought me to the ashrams, was named by her guru, was given her mantra and have had a meditation practice.

And for me, what I would be able to notice is that there were moments early days in my meditation and when I was a teenager where I could actually feel my brain shifting from almost like a right brain, left brain experience where I would move into a different frequency.

And in that frequency, there was a whole other realm of availability and not just my own inspired ideas, but also starting to channel and download ideas beyond my physical sight.

Sensations, feelings, gut knowing, even just audible words at times.

And so as a spiritual teacher, I have full faith that we all have access to a realm beyond our physical sight and if you're not in the spiritual lexicon, maybe you'd call it intuition, right?

And my late mentor and friend, Dr. Wayne Dyer, would say that when you're inspired, you're in spirit.

And so when we're in that flow state, as you might call it, or I would call it a state of channeling, as you can see here, my hand just went numb.

So that's when I know that I'm tuning in.

For me, it feels like a sensation of calm, a slowing down of my brain, a receptive way of being, rather than a, maybe if I'm in more of that get things done mode and that multitasker human Gabby mode, I will be distracted, I'll feel kind of tired.

And if you see me on stage, it's the same.

So if someone is an athlete and they get into that flow state, it's like you lose the logic and the reason and you get into the limitless, as you would say, capability, capacity.

When I'm on stage or even right here with you, it's happening, I feel my body, my left hand goes numb.

And I start to feel into this sort of effortless flow of whatever needs to come through.

I'm not thinking, I'm not trying, I'm not forcing, I'm just flowing.

My next guest just arrived and he's a hero of mine.

There's like a lot going on in this space right now, but I can just be in the flow of what is arriving when I make that adjustment.

Now, this is the repetition of new behavior over and over again, meditating for 40 years, right?

And that repetition of that practice gives you, like anything, the ability to jump on the basketball court and start playing, right?

Yeah, you need to warm up, but you could probably just jump right in if you've practiced every day for 25 years.

And so I think that the meditative practices that we develop in our life help us open up that right brain's capacity to receive that information and to be in that, I would like to call it a receptive state.

It's not, your brain is not trying to figure anything out.

It's really just allowing information to come through.

And the more you trust that state and experience that state and develop that state, the more information can flow through you.

I mean, I wrote 10 books in 13 years, not by myself, by tuning in and listening.

Because we all have this capacity of this beautiful information far beyond our logic and reason.

But we actually have to adjust our brains to receive that information.

Yeah, a metaphor people even use about even the unconscious or subconscious, non-conscious, depending on how people define it, is like if you put your foot on the floor, everyone's just listening, that's kind of like your conscious awareness.

But the footprint of this whole building is more of that non-conscious genius, if you will.

I remember I would follow, you mentioned Wayne Dyer, I'd follow him on stage a number of times.

And it was always so interesting because he did no preparation.

He would just go out there and he would just channel or he would just be in that flow state.

And with flow, the markers are like you lose your sense of self, it's almost effortless, and you almost lose your sense of time.

And as you get in that state and your brain slows down from that beta to alpha to theta kind of creative state or where you're just so aware, that's incredible.

Is there, for our listeners, is there maybe, I don't know if we wanna walk them through, but what is that meditation?

Everybody has a different style, right, that works for them.

How do you recommend and when do you usually recommend clients or people to do it?

I think that if you find a meditation style, whether it be through an app like my Gabby Coaching app, whether it be through any other app, whether it be through a meditation teacher, Buddhist meditation, or even just guided meditations, I don't care what it is as long as it allows you to feel into a centered state of peace.

And if you have a molecule of peace, a molecule of stillness, a molecule of rest, then go for more of that.

Because I think people get very hung up on these days, you know, I have to try this practice, I have to try that practice.

That's actually your ego trying to drive your practice.

I would much rather you say, oh, wow, I was in that, I sat in that yoga class that day and I loved that practice that the teacher gave us.

That's the thing that really gave me that feeling of getting into a flow state, losing track of time, feeling at ease, just forgetting all the, going out of the state of thinking and logic and just into peaceful, peaceful state.

Whatever that is that you have found, or if you're currently looking for it, when you find it, do more of that.

Because like anything, it's just like exercise.

You know, if you know you wanna do cardio and you wanna get on that and if that's what feels best for you, do more of that.

So that's my advice because I don't really like to put a framework on this is how it has to be.

Because I think it's just gonna make you not do it at all.

And usually what's best for people is whatever they're actually gonna do.

I mean, it's nice to have it when you're first starting, it's nice to have a single pointed focus, whether that's a mantra or even just listening to a guided meditation.

I mean, what I offer people for decades now is just guided meditations because I think people want someone showing them and leading them because just to sit and be still is so complicated for people if they've never had that experience.

But once you find that practice that's really resonating with you or even just gives you, like I said, a molecule of peace, just do a little bit longer the next day.

Like two minutes, three minutes, four minutes.

I think as we talked about on my show, morning is the beautiful time because that's when, and especially when you're waking up and you're wanting to just hold onto that peace from the night before.

But like any practice, you have to develop it and that ability to move into that state of inspiration is the repetition of being in stillness.

And your process for manifesting your life, right?

I mean, you went from these challenges, maybe in school, being held back and the things we talked about to writing all these New York Times bestselling books.

You're on stages in front of tens of thousands of people.

Like, you know, sometimes there's a harmony between like forcing something and having faith or stretching and surrendering, right?

Do you have like that process for our listeners and, you know, in terms of they have a pull towards something that resonates them?

Yeah, the moment that you notice you're forcing, stop, drop, meditate.

Do something that's the opposite of what you're trying to force because anything that you create out of a forceful nature will not succeed.

And I love the difference between like the force and the faith, but developing faith.

Faith is a muscle that must be developed.
