0:10I firmly believe that taking charge of your mindset allows you to be in the driver's seat of your life and unlock your potential. And that's why I'm thrilled to share that my new book is out right now. It's called The Greatness Mindset. In it, you'll learn how to build a plan for greatness through powerful exercises and toolkits designed to propel your life forward. This is the book that I wish I had 20 years ago. It's everything I've learned in the last decade with the research and the science to help you unlock your mind. Make sure to go to lewishouse.com slash 2023mindset to pick up your copy of my book, The Greatness Mindset, today.
0:50The stronger the emotion you feel from some outer experience in your life, the more altered you feel, the more the brain freezes the frame and takes a snapshot. Well, now you're freezing a frame in the outer environment. But if you're truly in the present moment and you know exactly what you want and you begin to teach your body emotions, start practicing opening that heart, it's amazing what happens. The moment that heart begins to open, when the heart moves into this kind of rhythm, when you're feeling frustration, when you're feeling impatient, when you're feeling resentment, you are stepping on the gas pedal and you're stepping on the brake at the same time.
1:24And the heart is pumping against a closed system and it causes an erratic beat. It becomes incoherent and energy literally leaves the heart. Now you no longer believe in your future. You can't put your heart into your future. You can't trust the outcome because there's no energy there. It's being used and consumed somewhere else. So energy is leaving the brain as well. But once energy starts to move into the heart, we've seen this so many times. And it starts to beat in this rhythm, like banging a drum or dropping a pebble in water, pebble after pebble. The heart begins to create a wave of energy right to the brain.
1:56Like taking a big sheet and going like that. And then all of a sudden you see this wave. And the brain gets this rush of energy. And that change in brain wave patterns, that change, that wave is carrying information. And the person starts to get a very clear idea. They see their future very clearly. Now that energy is causing them to move into very coherent alpha brain wave patterns, which is the state of creation. This is when you no longer hear the voice in your head that's talking to you that you listen to and believe is the truth. I'm not good enough. Yeah, whatever that is. I'm not going to mount anything.
2:29That's called a default mode. It suppresses the default mode network. And the next thing you know, you start seeing in pictures and images. You start dreaming. And that's the imagination. That's the creative state. So now you start naturally imagining the heart as the creative center. We've got to put our heart into our future. It better be open and activated. So now when you start falling in love with your future, oxytocin is released in the brain and in the heart. Oxytocin signals nitric oxide. Nitric oxide signals another chemical called endothelial derived relaxing factor. And literally the arteries in the heart and lungs engorge.
3:04And now your heart feels full and it's thumping in order and you're in the present moment. Now once that happens, the heart produces an external magnetic field up to three meters wide. Now, in survival, you're drawing from the field and turning into chemistry. When you get energy in the heart, it's causing a change in the brain. And all of a sudden, it's resetting the baseline for trauma. And now here you have magnetic fields. Now the heart is your magnet. It is the center of creation. That energy is frequency. And frequency carries information. And you can lay the thought of your new relationship on that energy because it's consistent with it.
3:40You cannot lay the thought of your new relationship in need. That's a different energy. What do you mean in need? Well, if you're feeling... I'm needing someone to love me. Yeah, of course. That's a different frequency. That's a different energy. What happens when you're in a need state as opposed to an attraction state? Well, you're in lack. So now you're trying, you're grasping, you're controlling, you're forcing, you're trying to predict, you're overthinking, overanalyzing. And that's how people live their relationships. So then if you are going to prepare your brain and body for a new relationship, then you would have to become love completely every day.
4:14And that signal then that you're sending out into the field can carry the thought of your health, your wealth, your relationship or whatever. But here's the cool part. When the heart is activated like that and you feel so whole, so in love with life, so satisfied in the moment, so exuberant that it's impossible to want. Now you're no longer in lack. Now you're so whole that you will magnetize wholeness in your life. The person who's the person that fits the mold energetically, that would be the same as you and yet complement you so that the two can become one. Right. And then instead of in contrast, in union, you exchange information equal to that emotional state.
4:58People use each other to reaffirm their dependence on certain emotions. You have certain people you complain with about politics or whatever. they complain back about their lives and you use each other to reaffirm, you know, some type of belief or something. Belief about life. Emotionally, you have emotional agreements on things. Well, that motion is energy and energy is frequency and frequency carries information. So you share the same energy, you share the same information, but that's what people do in their lives. But now in a true loving relationship, when you're truly in your heart, then the question is what would love do in the relationship.
5:32And when your heart is open, it's no longer about you. I feel so amazing with you. I feel even more amazing, but without you, I'm still whole. And so now I'm no longer in need or lack. And so now when we get together and our fields interfere, when they start interfering, now the amplitude gets quite higher and there's way more energy. And so now your heart is so open that you can't do anything else but give. You feel so amazing. You're so happy with yourself, so happy with your life, so happy with what you have, you want other people to feel the same way. And when you give now, guess what happens?
6:07You release more oxytocin or nitric oxide and more of those chemicals that cause the heart to swell even more. Then all of a sudden, your immune system gets stronger. And all of a sudden, your body starts feeling better. You start having more energy. And now the constructive interference between two people that are coming together in wholeness and no longer dependence or lack or separation or need is a different game. So now imagine having this feeling. And when oxytocin is released, what most people don't know is that it seeps into the amygdala. And there's certain survival emotions in the amygdala, fear and anxiety, aggression and anger, pain and suffering.
6:47And it literally shuts the lights out in those circuits in the amygdala. And there's only one thing left, love and joy. Now this person is suppressing the survival centers, resetting the baseline of the past, how they perceive the past, the research on oxytocin shows that when you have just a slight, slight level of increase, and our research shows our students are way outside of normal, that it's impossible to hold a grudge because the feeling feels so good. Why would you judge another person or why would you react to some condition and lose that feeling? You figure it out really fast. So this birth of unconditional love really says I'm in love with myself, my connection to some divine intelligence within me.
7:31And because I'm so in love with life and with myself, I'm looking at life through the lens of love, which means I'm going to allow you to be whoever you want around me. I'm no longer not a reaction. I'm not a reaction because I've overcome my fear. I've overcome my anger. And now I'm ready for love. And now that relationship that you have, if you find that equal, that's a needle in the haystack because now it's a vibrational match. And so as long as you're evolving, as long as I'm evolving, as long as we're sharing the same ideals, as long as we're working together, as long as we have our independence and as long as we come together and we bring our best.
8:08And I say to you, how was your day? I mean, what did you learn? How am I going to be? Okay. Tell me how you vocalize it, articulate it so that now I understand your intention and I can support that's good. And so then when the person can articulate it, what are they doing? They're rehearsing in their minds who they're going to be. And so now they're becoming conscious of that future. And then they have to work on staying conscious of their unconscious programs. And by articulating that, they're going to not let those thoughts slip by as well. Now you have two people in evolution. It's no longer about all the other things.
8:41It's not about the money. It's not about the sex. It's not about the weight. It's not about the diet. This is something else. This is a whole other level where when you exchange and evolve on this level, it's the most important thing. Because now you see that person as a mirror. She did amazing. I'm in love with her. I admire her. Wow, she's got it going on. She executed today. She got her behaviors to match her intentions. And I want to celebrate her. Like, wow, I'm in awe. To me, you don't work on that. You work on you. Everybody works on themselves. And then they bring their best. And if they're not at their best, excuse yourself and get back to your best.
