Today’s Spiritual Nuggets is about how to release your genius. The first thing about releasing your genius is understanding that you are the Genie and the Bottle. I guide my clients to recognize what part is the Genie and what part is the Bottle.
If you have followed my blogs you may know that you are two parts that create a whole. Nature and physics show us everywhere! It’s right in front of us!
There’s a part of us that we can feel and sense. But there’s also a larger part to us that we cannot use our five senses to detect. And is the larger part of us- the Being part of us. The Human part of our Human Being is just the small fraction of who you really are.
There is so much more to spiritual awakening then just meditating, yoga or setting intentions. This is how I work with clients- my goal is to align body breath and spirit!
I want to celebrate a client I have been working with for the last few years.
He’s 27 now, but when he was in school he lived with labels and learning disabilities. He had to take special Ed classes to help him get through and didn’t feel smart enough. He felt there was something lacking within him- in all that time this person was in the wrong body. Because of this stress, anxiety, and depression, his genius was nowhere to be found.
He was dealing with a lot of things from his past and stuck in the bottle of his body. He was in Special Ed classes. Barely graduating high school. He came to a point where he wanted to come to terms with the body that he was in. He wanted to start making positive changes. The first thing we had to do was start aligning his Mind, Body, Breath, and Spirit in order to release his genius.
We began to work on these four areas of his life one by one.
The first thing he had to discover is that the mind; his thoughts, all of the beliefs and fears he had, were not who he really was. He had ideas and beliefs and “programming” that he was battling inside because he was in the wrong body. He was struggling about what gender is suppose to be and the ideas and beliefs around gender. So, we had to go through the mind to get to a place of acceptance of his form.
I said, “In the plant and an animal kingdom there is scientific proof that plants can change genders, it’s called hermitization.”
The hermitization process is where a female plant will become male. The animal kingdom shows proof that animals change genders. This in turn tells us that we as humans really have an ignorant idea of what gender is. We think there’s only male and female but the plant and animal kingdom show us so much more.
There was an Opening
When I said this while coming from a scientific perspective, really observing nature and how we are no different. There was an opening within him that allowed him to move forward with transitioning from being in the wrong body to building the body he wanted to shape and form.
The next thing we had to start working on was the mind-body connection. He was battling with the chemicals and hormones within his body that decide whether a human form will be male or female. And consequently, allowed himself to weigh over 300 pounds. Over the last two years working together he began to understand something very fundamental about being a human being. Our nutritional intake and exercise can completely shape or reshape our our bodies- on a hormonal level.
Hormones have a sweet spot and require balance. For the male body, the body fat composition should be 16% or less. This creates less estrogen and more testosterone. Even women will experience this. An example you may have heard of is when a woman athlete whose body fat is below a certain percentage, will stop its monthly cycle because of the shift in hormones.
Vice versa when our body fat is above 18% or more it’s going to create more estrogen.
After learning this information, he started working to get his body to that sweet spot level. Finding out what worked best for him to began his transition. With research he found what diets would get the best results for him, and for him it was Keto using the least processed natural meats, fats, and vegetables. Some of my other clients found if they changed their diet to vegan or add fish, they found that worked better for them.
Listen to Your Body to Release Your Genius!
Do some research and listen to your own body– never listen to what somebody says. Test and see for yourself if your body is agreeable to what you’re giving it.
Going further in his daily practice, he had some testing on his immune responses to foods. He discovered that there were actually certain foods that, if he ate, would cause inflammation within the body.
This transformation wasn’t an overnight thing. Over the course of two years he worked to make these adjustments. Losing over one hundred pounds was just one of his many amazing transformations!
This is why I want to brag about him because he went through this process of realization of how to heal from within and had some of the most wonderful results! Results that are tangible for anyone who is ready!
This process is very individual and customized. You must come to know thyself in Mind Body Breath and Spirit.
I also help clients set up a foundation of Breath Work, here’s why; your breath is the bridge between the physical (the seen) and the spiritual (the unseen). The Bottle is the seen and the Genie is the unseen. You must understand these two parts of you in order to release your genius!
So, when you’re going from day to day you may come in and out different emotional states. Maybe you even experience anxiety or panic attacks. So, we began to incorporate some breath work to create the state you want to bring your anxiety and stress levels down to.
Fight or Flight
Most don’t understand how you breathe, you could be triggering a chemical response that releases fight, or flight hormones. These hormones can cause even more anxiety or can make you super reactive when you’re trying to calm down. Or maybe you get caught up in the emotional/energy overload and you’re taken for a chaotic ride of reactions.
What I do to help clients is recognize and become aware of this. Awareness is key. When you’re able to become aware of how you are reacting to it, then you can also learn how to shift your perception and transcend the thoughts, ideas, beliefs or reactions. These are keeping you from seeing your truth.
This is How to Release your Genius!
Just like my Client couldn’t release his Genius because he wasn’t embracing who he really was. And I have to brag because he achieved amazing results and at one point he thought them to be intangible. Once he began to put himself first, he started to transcend the negative thoughts and emotions that came with going through his transition. When he consciously opened the Bottle, his Genie was Released! Completely exposing this incredible Genius! He learned how to release his genius
During his Childhood he had such a hard time in school. But now is excelling in college and is on his way to completing school in Medical Lab work. He wants to help others who need to balance their hormones. When we added the breath work exercises, he was able to heal himself from symptoms of sleep apnea!
This is brilliant, this is stuff that makes my heart just sing! When a Human Being is able to move and live from the space of Being, the Human is literally transformed in so many ways! What an exhilarating place to be!
Have you heard or told yourself it can’t be done? Why bother? Don’t let those limiting thoughts, ideas and beliefs mask over your genius!
Let that Genie out of the Bottle!
The Bottle is like your body and all it takes is a little love and maybe some guidance to let that Genie out.
