Speaker: Gary, welcome to Spiritual Fitness Podcast. How are you today? Doing really great. Listen, Eric, I'm super excited. I mean, you got to see one of our events. So you can see the the power of connection and our bodies are tuning forks. So why don't we sync up our bodies together for this podcast?
Speaker: Yeah, let's do it. So let's do a sync up. You can either cross your right leg over or cross your your ankles, your feet, either one. Take your right hand, put it underneath your left armpit. Left hand on top.
Speaker: And turn your head to the left and your body to the right. What we're going to do is take six breaths together. Three through the mouth and three through the nose. So breathe into the mouth.
Speaker: Two.
Speaker: Three. Through the nose.
Speaker: Two. Three.
Speaker: great ah How do you feel? I feel incredible. Can you kind of talk a little bit about what it actually is? The word, i think it's fascia, right? And maneuver. I like to call this the shadow frequency of the body, which is energy that you're maneuvering through the vessel. What is your interpretation and definition of it? Fascia is a construct. It's tissue. It's the interwoven tissue, but it it doesn't extend only in the body. I believe fascia energy. it's what It's our human existence.
Speaker: But fascial is a word that we made up. um And we made that word up in 2014 and trademarked it because um you can't trademark or reference like fascia because it's something that everybody has, this medical term, but fascial. So fascial and maneuver. Maneuver is is a movement that's tactical, that's precise, that has intent. um and Intent in doing it and with intent with outcome. Because there's a lot of movement programs out there and and movements are great, but maneuvers are very intentful. They have they target different um different processes and states of awareness in the body simultaneously. Like the one that we just did was a sync up.
Speaker: You know, and normally would take 20 to 30 minutes for us to sync up. And we can do that in six breaths as long as our body's in this exact same position. Yeah. And we have the breaths in sync.
Speaker: It takes what would normally take 20 to 30 minutes and it brings it down into six breaths. So that's a, that's a tactical, very decisive, very precise movement with with, with an intent behind it.
Speaker: And, and then when you cross yourself, or when you cross your leg over and your arms counter-crossed and you turn, That's to the body, that's a memory of a fetal position. So actually in tactics, it's actually taking your your cellular memory back to a time where where you were created, where everything was perfect before things were messed up.
Speaker: So that's part of the reason why we believe. I'm going to tell you stories about why I think this works. when I say we believe or I believe this works, because truthfully, nobody really knows. And even more truthfully, um we're learning every single day more about this. The whole process of fascial maneuvers and what it does to heal or perform in the body, I'm still in the experiment.
Speaker: I've transformed my life and my body after 35 years of pain and suffering. And it was suffering. I know that suffering self-imposed. But after 35 years of pain and and suffering, literally because I had imposed it upon myself, these maneuvers after three months were the first time in my life I was functionally out of pain or at least...
Speaker: emotionally could deal with it. You know, you say 35 years, that's a pretty good time, right? To kind of go through pain and suffering. And some people suffer a lifetime and pain to lead emotionally, spiritually.
Speaker: What was the the anchor or the catalyst to have a turning point in your life to say, you know what, something must change? What was that and what was the pain and what triggered you to say, I'm going to take initiative and figure this out?
Speaker: but There's a lot of things that led up to it. i don't I think there's a turning point, but that turning point was more a realization of who I was, as like why I came to this planet. So because the the turning point, like I and i was a very successful in business. I had a lot of I have many businesses and partnerships and and and public companies and and private companies.
Speaker: I've been as an entrepreneur my whole life. And um I had it was also an athlete when I was younger. I know you were an athlete. yeah I was bodybuilder. And I hurt myself under a 600-pound squad. And then i started having back issues that I kept having to treat.
Speaker: And then I had some concussions and car accidents and just piled up. So i had this low-level pain that if I worked out, I was okay. but if I stopped working out, I would start to feel a pain. So I'm on this hamster wheel. If I worked out three days a week, I'm good.
Speaker: But if I don't work out three days week, I'm not kidding. In my life, through having kids and businesses and moving around, sometimes I couldn't. So my pain started to grow over time. And it started off as what I perceived to be physical pain. But, you know, as the pain had been there for years, the pain became um both mental and then emotional at the same time.
Speaker: um And I spent 10 years, the last 10 years before I became a practitioner, and um in know like a six to nine pain every day, which just became normal.
Speaker: The turning point for me was was in 2008, I used to encrypt data for Blackberries. and And I did this in such a way that the governments couldn't decrypt them.
Speaker: And I did a lot of work. I had a lot of government and government people and and high level secrecy positions all over the world in pharmacy companies and lawyers and anybody and everybody who wanted privacy, which is anybody from a drug dealer to to a government official. And when I wouldn't work with them and give them my encryption codes or a backdoor, after a couple of years of trying to get that to open, they they arrested me and they held me for 27 months.
Speaker: and And right down where I had the events, actually, 17 of those months of solitary comp confinement. um And so from a spiritual perspective, I had never been a guy who really prayed.
Speaker: I tested it throughout the years. Didn't always work out. so i So I'm like, I'd been maybe four months of solitary confinement. Man, the most level of pain I'd ever been in my life.
Speaker: And... I i'm prayed and said, God, you help me out of this. um I'll spend the rest of my life helping people, never be in this pain. It wasn't about my circumstances, but my pain.
Speaker: And an hour later, my in my solitary confinement, max, super max, 31, one hour out of every 30 hours. they My door opened, which usually means I'm going to get into trouble somehow.
Speaker: I'm going to get roughed up or something. And so I'm em bracing for whatever's coming through that door. And they took a neurologist who was a chiropractor. um he was in for some sort of insurance fraud, dysregulation or whatever. And he was going to get killed in general population. So they stuck him in with me.
Speaker: And for 14 months, I had a medical education like you can't believe. because we were 24 hours a day locked in an 8x10 room.
Speaker: That was what I prayed for. That was what I got. And you know here I am you know um now, 16, 17 years later, living out my end of the agreement.
Speaker: That's amazing. And it's interesting you say God, because I have a question about that. What is Gary's definition of God? um And the best way that I would say is that there's a creator.
Speaker: Yeah. Like there's an intelligent design and within that intelligent design, um, we are part of it. So we're not separate from it. So, so that means that if there is a God and there is an intelligent design then, and I'm part of that intelligence, I'm not separate from it. So God is my connection to the intelligence design.
Speaker: And, and we have this field around us, which is intelligent. And, um, And we become very disconnected from it You know, one of the ways we feel is when we're present or grounded, we can notice, that we can observe the beauty and greatness around the world.
Speaker: But if I'm in fear, I'm not connected to my to my presence or to my oneness. But ah also, conversely, if I'm in love. Oh.
Speaker: Well, think about it this way. If you're in fear, the the partner that you have coming to you you fear that they're going to hurt you. If you were in love, the partner, that you're going to be blinded to see that they are hurting or will hurt you.
Speaker: So between fear and love is the state of presence in which we are in observance. Oh, yeah. and And if you think about it, if I thought about this is my personal way of looking at it.
Speaker: So in that state of presence, I seem to have access to ah greater um realm of information, right? which drives me and has been driving this process.
Speaker: And that's what I call God. What is your definition or what is the purpose of life? Because I feel like you experienced so much of life in your short time here that you kind of have a greater understanding more than the average you know human being or person what is the purpose of life from you around i feel like and i'm not i'm not i'm open and i'm not discounting in fact there may be more purpose that i'm not aware of yet yeah but i feel like i connected with my purpose um and and how do i know that i'm connected to my purpose is that i no longer want for anything
Speaker: a And that's a really strong feeling. like like um So there's, at some point, we're some energy.
Speaker: Yeah. At some point, we come into this reality, real real TV. reality yeah um it um We come into this reality, and we we have we're executing some sort of driven, like we we' were talking about astrology earlier. Yeah. and And I can tell by astrology when people had traumas, when they had, you know, I can, you can look at that. There's there's ways to know like what happened at this year.
Speaker: So there has to be some intelligent design to this. So in other words, I had a plan when I came here. So one of the questions that I always get is, you know, but that, does that mean there's there no free will? And i said, free will was the decision I had to come here to have this experience.
Speaker: So the purpose of of of life, in and from my point of view, is to have and have the experience. And that experience isn't always what we think it is. It's not it's not about working. It's not about achievement. it's not That experience is embedded in those things or the emotions that we feel and that we experience. it And those emotions are what drive every aspect of who we are.
Speaker: So the experience itself is is the free will. At some place we have free will and when we connect to that free will, um then we move we move quickly and easily through our lives.
Speaker: When we don't connect to the free will or when we're not connected free will, we have all these roadblocks or obstacles or pains. and And at first it feels like we're not connected to it on purpose.
Speaker: so that we have these obstacles and pains, so we kind of get a an idea of how to navigate this realm or this existence that we have. Yeah, it's a very strong point because I believe everything in life that goes against who we are, what we want to be is to transform our soul.
Speaker: All negativity, all plights, all challenges. So from your ah position, why do you think the people who have more power, more access, or maybe more resources, not even financially, just energetically have all information? Because i feel like information is where the frequency is, right? So if you want to control people, you you you have more information than they do.
Speaker: Ah, okay. Simple. and And it's really, really simple. yeah What you said is true. Even Hippocrates, like we have doctors who don't believe in astrology, but Hippocrates, when they take the Hippocratic oath, Hippocrates, he was the founder of modern medicine. He said said that a doctor that doesn't follow and practice astrology is not a doctor, but a fool.
Speaker: so So you're right. Billionaires do use it. The people who run the world, who literally run the world today, use it. um You can see it in dates that we choose and things that why we do things on certain days.
Speaker: You know, the idea is is that things that have, what I found in my time working with human bodies, things that have a great impact on your health and give you control are considered to be Woo-woo, different.
Speaker: and They're considered to be bad. Like, I'll give you the simple one, like alcohol versus heroin. who Heroin's so bad, right? Well, i worked i started my medical career working in rehab. Alcohol, there's a 50% chance you'll die while you're detoxing.
Speaker: Wow. It's the only one of all of the drugs where they have to have a 24-hour supervision while they're detoxing for about five days because you could die. But that doesn't happen when you're on heroin.
Speaker: So if if one could kill you and the other one doesn't necessarily kill you, Then which would be the worst one? So like, for example, we have made alcohol it's socially acceptable, but alcohol by far is the worst on the human body, you know, and heroin or opiate and stuff like that was used metadistinally for many years or psilocybin or MDMA or ketamine. These are all things that are now being used in the world of of medicine to help people get off the addiction of pharmacology.
Speaker: Yeah. It makes sense. What is your, um I believe that because Dr. Amon talks about that, about alcohol is really bad for you. What's your theory on plant medicine? So plant medicine, first of all, it is it's the original medicine.
Speaker: not All medicine was coming, even when you look at aspirin it came from white willow bark. It's plant, you know, all medicine came from plants. Plants, yeah. Well, plants, or I mean, there's there's certain things that come from some animals or slugs or spiders and stuff like that, but but it's all plant medicine. The medicine that's not plant medicine is not medicine.
Speaker: The origin of plant medicine, like what we have in pharmacology is we take something in nature that works and then we do we isolate the working component and we take it out and we put it. But the if we put it back, what we do is we put that working component back in a petroleum base, which the body gets the signaling of the medicine and then says something's wrong because it doesn't have the grounding of the the base. Like white willow bark, it works within for like a headache, like asperid. It's asperid.
Speaker: Yeah. It works in 30 seconds to a minute. Aspirin works in 20 to 30 minutes. Aspirin has, is as a heart, as heart affects like your stomach bleeds.
Speaker: It causes issues with your liver, your kidneys. So aspirin has a side effect. Well, it's white willow bark isolated and then put it back in petroleum. I want to get back to like trauma, right? Because I think a lot of us hold and store trauma in the body.
Speaker: But what were part of the body is trauma or pain stored? Is it like in our chest, our solar plexus? Where is it? Because I feel like we hold energy in our body at all times not knowing.
Speaker: Well, I think think you have to um define what trauma is. Yeah. ah Trauma is a stressor. Against an event or there's an input, there's a stimulation, there's a stressor because of that stimulation.
Speaker: And there's a narrative about that stressor, like it was bad or it was good and and what it did to me or what it didn't do to me. yeah Because you can take the same thing that is traumatic for one person and another person goes, oh, that's good.
Speaker: So trauma is very personalized. Trauma is is the inability to process. Our bodies naturally flow energy. Like we have an incident, we have a problem, we walk it off, we go in nature, we sit and we talk about it.
Speaker: We normally have this flow to let it go, but when our body's in stress, stress narrows our focus. And we don't see options. The end goal of stress is suicide. We don't see an option to have to get out of here.
Speaker: The opposite of that, serotonin, is I see all the options in the world. And those are the two kind of spectrums of the body. I mean, there's other chemicals that involve, they get like dopamine for focus and that. But basically, I see options. I don't see options.
Speaker: One i when I end my life. One I open my life. And I'm... And trauma is is the body's inability to process, does not see options, inability to process the stressor.
Speaker: Now, there can be physical reasons for that. There can be emotional reasons for that. But trauma does not exist in the brain. That's why working with it in the brain, the brain itself doesn't feel any pain. Trauma is painful.
Speaker: So brain has no pain sensors. You can do surgery on your brain. then not oh Yeah, it's zero pain sensors. You can cut the open the skull, do surgery in the brain without any anesthesia.
Speaker: It has no pain sensors. So that means even headaches aren't in the brain, they're they're in something around it. so Basically, your body is a computer, has ah has an intelligent part of it, a computer, a brain in that computer called an interstitium.
Speaker: An interstitium is the brain of your body, and this is a processor that runs programs. And your brain runs programs, and if it doesn't understand the program, it just keeps running it. And that's what we call repetitive thoughts. And when we're in trauma, we keep running the repetitive thought over and over because it doesn't understand the program.
Speaker: Again, we we've mysticized mysticized and romanticized trauma, but trauma is just the body's in stress and it can't process the pain. Like one of the traumas that I learned about was like sexual abuse as a kid.
Speaker: I didn't look about until two years ago. I had a feeling somewhere through my life and then all of a sudden, boom, it came up. And I'm like, why would it come up now? Like I wasn't traumatized by it. I'm like, that's interesting.
Speaker: And the my conclusion was it came up because I was finally ready to emotionally process the intensity of that trauma. and And so if you take the body out of stress long enough,
Speaker: Then we so we stand outside. when we take the Stress narrows our focus. you can't see an option. We take the body out of stress long enough. We can start to see options or we can see other storylines or narratives that might exist around that event.
Speaker: Like, for example, when I was in prison, i was very traumatic. At the time, i told myself it's going to be good, but I didn't feel it. Yeah. I told myself this is going be good for me.
Speaker: Stepping away from me now, that's the most transformative moment of my life. Yeah. And because i have I'm out of the stressor and my body's processed it. Now I can see why it happened in my life. I can make sense of it.
Speaker: This is why this current culture around trauma and habits stored and all that, basically we're just saying is that we're stressed out in our bodies and we don't know how to get out of stress.
Speaker: Yeah. And I think honestly, some of us, we choose these stories and I think most of us are miserable because we choose to be because we always feel like we got to be moving or doing something because we don't know how to shut off and do nothing and just receive from the design of intelligence.
Speaker: But you were talking about traumas in the body because I guess the brain. So how do you explain concussion, CTE for maybe like boxers or football players? That's a stressor on the body.
Speaker: That's a stressor and an event and a narrative about it. Now, I propose that when the body, you got a chance to touch me, I think, when we're there. Right. i' Really liquid, like soft and flexible.
Speaker: I propose that when the body's functioning right, has a proper minerals and balance and water balance. yeah I propose that the body recovers itself from these events. I had eight concussions diagnosed, three near-death experiences. So I recovered myself through that, through this process.
Speaker: And what it was for me was it took me a while to figure out why. And then when it when I started to remove the trauma, I could step outside of it, i could see it. And then I started trying to deconstruct why I got out of it.
Speaker: And it seems to have been for me that I had i had removed, got my body hydrated, moved the tissue and removed the physical restriction of movement in my body. When we reduce the stress over a long period of time, increase the hydration, Well, see, because look at look at this. I'm 80% water. That's not my muscle.
Speaker: It looks like muscle, but it's actually what I call fushals. It's fascia muscles. Yeah. And when we are when we're functioning right as a human being, we have access to intuition.
Speaker: But what I've noticed or observed is that, okay, let's 75 to years ago human beings were water. 30 years ago, we were at 30% water, or sorry, 70% water.
Speaker: Now, currently today, scientifically, an average human being 60% water. Wow. here's So as we've been dehydrated and demineralized and water is a primary construct of who we are, when our primary construct is dehydrated, we lose access. but we We're basically silica, water and bacteria. We're a crystal.
Speaker: And when that crystal is dehydrated, it doesn't have the same power ah to radiate or recede. And yeah if you think about it think about a crystal on your cell phone.
Speaker: It takes your cell phone signal and amplifies it so it can go miles to a tower. If that crystal is cracked or dirty, then that signal won't go. And our crystal here is definitely cracked, that's dehydrated, and dirty, that's heavy metals.
Speaker: So we lose access to our signal. So I i i propose that every human being was like this. love And we just you know we just don't know because it's only the way that we've experienced the world.
Speaker: What is your relationship with grief? What's the proper way for someone to grieve a loss or a separation or maybe heartbreak? Well, what do you feel that grief is? Because we associate it to loss, right?
Speaker: Yeah, yeah. For me, it's like I so badly and so care about helping people. If they don't receive my help, I used to have the emotion of grief.
Speaker: Grief is like a sadness. that's kaz i is the Grief is like a sadness with that's that's held with a resentment and a helplessness at the same time. Yeah. and And it's a version of sadness at some point.
Speaker: um When I connect to that intelligence outside of me, yeah there i so I can feel or see or the the plan. And when I can see the plan, like if I, like later on in life, everybody can go 20, 30 years later, go, when that happened 30 years later, now this is good for me.
Speaker: With enough time, things always make sense. yeah But the the goal of it is is grief, when I hold grief in my body, it stops me from making sense of it right now.
Speaker: and There's a documentary, one of my clients was an Academy Award winning producer and he did the 37 minute documentary called The Lady Number Six. It was oldest living ah Holocaust survivor, 112 years old.
Speaker: Her family had got killed, gassed, her sons, her parents, her husband, her friends. But because she was such a beautiful pianist, they kept her alive to entertain it entertain them.
Speaker: So here she is years later, and she said something that took me at 112 years old. It took me 10 years to understand the message that she was giving me when I watched it. um She said, the Holocaust was the best thing that ever happened to me.
Speaker: yeah And I'm like, how can you say that? And 10 years later, I got it. It was like with enough time, I can make sense of why that happened and who I became through it.
Speaker: So grief is not recognizing who I become through a situation. Mm-hmm. or why that situation, what it was doing for me. Grief is a helplessness saying, i I'm a victim of this.
Speaker: This happened to me. But the other way look at it later on is it happened for me because my father died. I became this person because my yeah my brother died who led me. It drove me to do these things. Yes.
Speaker: so So grief is, the one side of it is, feel the sadness, which is okay, but I've associated a narrative of um I'm not happy. i'm not I don't understand this. I don't agree with this. Is this something being done to me?
Speaker: When I slipped the other side, I could still have sadness that my brother passed, but it inspired me to do all these things. I do want you to add, what is a three-step or a three tools that a person can use to decrease the stress, to increase the hydration within their body? but They don't have access to you.
Speaker: You only need one tool. Okay. It's the 15-minute stress reset. It removes 75% to 90% of the stress in your body the first 7 to 10 minutes. Well, you can download our free supplement guide, and it'll tell you how to get the minerals, how to get the silica and the minerals.
Speaker: Because even if you can't afford it, you can get dirt. And if you can literally take good quality dirt, take a glass, pour it a glass and drink it. Wow. Your body just needs needs minerals and needs movement. And it will it will restore its natural ability to heal.
Speaker: Stop taking everything so seriously. Take the stress out every day, one to two times. Do that for 90 days and everything in your life changes. So don't take your life too serious.
Speaker: Take the stress out of your life, do it for 90 days and your life will change. The only reason why we take life serious is because we're stressed out. That's a view. Well, put it on the website. and and And if you look at the difference between kids and adults, it's the difference is that adults take life series.
Speaker: Yeah. Kids don't. And the thing that separates them is their perception of what that life is, so stress. And we treat those paradigms in our mind and the story that we live by. Damn, that's so good.
Speaker: People always... Damn, that's so good. Gary, thank you. This was phenomenal. People follow Human Garage on Instagram. Go to the website. I'm going put everything in the show notes.
