What if the patterns in your life aren’t random—but a reflection of your identity?

In this episode, Toronto-based manifestation coach Ajayy Veda joins me for a grounded conversation about emotional frequency, subconscious beliefs, and how your inner world shapes your outer results.

We talk about self-trust in a reactive culture, how inner narratives are formed, identity as frequency, and what it really means to take responsibility for your emotional patterns.

We explore manifestation beyond clichés—breaking unconscious cycles, auditing your environment, holistic integration across health, relationships, career, and money, and using tools like breathwork and Ho‘oponopono in grounded, everyday life.

This conversation is about clarity, self-awareness, and shifting your identity at the root level so your outer life begins to reflect it.

SPEAKER_00

Welcome back to the new Renaissance Tribe Podcast. I'm your host, Mandy Jones, and today I'm joined by Ajay Veda, life coach, law of attraction coach, and Haponopono healer. Based out of Toronto, Canada, Ajay works with identity, belief, and personal transformation, helping people examine how their inner narratives help shape the life they're trying to build. In this conversation, we explore the Renaissance mindset and the holistic approach to living. We talk about Ajay's background and influences, his path from animation to coaching, and all the different tools and practices he uses today, from Hoponopono to EFT, NLP, Reiki, and Kundalini Yoga. We talk about how people get stuck in a narrative, what it means to take responsibility for what happens to us, and how training the mind and shifting identity can quietly but profoundly change how life unfolds. Ajay, thank you so much for being here today.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you so much for having me, Mandy. It's been amazing. And I really appreciate the intention behind this space that you've created. And uh it's been great connecting with you. To be honest with you, like what really stood out to me when I when I came across your work was that the space that you're building, your work, it's so thoughtful. Your the creative depth in your work is pretty amazing that I saw. I really appreciate your talent, especially that you know, you're not just creating content just for the sake of it. There is real exploration that I see there. And I I appreciate that about you. So thanks for uh inviting me to this podcast. Thank you.

SPEAKER_00

Thank you so much. That's so kind. And for anyone listening, we connected through uh a podcasting group online. And I think if you're somebody who's trying to create something meaningful in the world, um, no matter what level it is, just something that you're passionate about, you want to deliver value, you want to connect with people, you want to create meaning and follow your own passions, that kind of person. Like when you meet another one, you you know immediately. And so with Ajay, it was like, oh, I can tell he's he's passionate, he's living out his life's purpose, he is creating content to help other people and he's excited about it. I mean, just how giving you were of your time with me and things that you were discussing with me was really helpful. And I was like, this is definitely the attitude of someone that I would like to know and I would like to have a conversation with. And so it's really cool to sit down and talk to you today. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Let's start with just talking a little bit about what you're excited about lately. What has you fired up right now?

SPEAKER_01

Hmm. What's been really firing me up lately is like being able to help people slow down enough to actually feel what's shaping their decisions in life. And uh, as a life coach working with manifestation and mindset, one of the most common things that I have seen people, whenever I come across uh, you know, a student of mine, 101, or even when I when I speak to people for the first time, what I notice something is, which is like a very common pattern that I see is a deep disconnection from themselves. People are they're like, they're all high-functioning people. Do they're doing great things in life, they're doing all the possible right things, but still internally they don't really feel that they know themselves or even trust themselves in a lot of cases. And I'm sure you'll also agree that we live in such kind of a world which is obsessed with speed. Like everyone is looking for just quick fixes or some kind of a trick or technique or some kind of just fast healing or instant relief and instant clarity, or just give me a pill and I'll just pop it and I should be okay. Yeah. But real transformation, as you also know, it happens when people stop outsourcing their authority and when they start developing an honest, honest, authenticity-based relationship with their own selves, with their own inner world. And when I watch someone go from being disconnected from themselves to actually becoming friends with their own selves, that's what I try to tell them always. That my my focus is always to help you be friends with yourself first of all. That's one of the most powerful things that I that I that I witness in people. And it it always brings me, you know it makes me very grateful to help to be able to help them. And uh because because I feel that, you know, once that connection is there, once it's established, everything else also falls into place. Like decisions, there, the way they draw their boundaries, the way they build their confidence, everything starts changing naturally, and everything falls into place. And it's it's just amazing. So that's what always gets me excited.

SPEAKER_00

I love that. And you've been very helpful to me, even in a short amount of time. I mean, we had a couple of conversations recently, and I noticed an immediate shift after one of those conversations where I was really stuck in something, and it's like you you just have like a little key and unlock a different door inside of my head, you know, it was really cool. Thank you. Um first I want to ask this disconnection that you're talking about, you know, you talk about it in the context of we live in a very fast-paced world that values speed and efficiency over pretty much everything and convenience, right? So that kind of culture kind of automatically creates uh this sense of urgency that might override your natural intuition or your natural desires or like your knowing of yourself. For example, my personality, I'm very idea-driven. So I get a lot of different creative ideas and I want to act on them right away. I think because of hustle culture in particular, there's a sense in me that I have this idea and I need to do something about it now. And before I have the chance to filter through the part of my brain that says, do I actually like this? Does this actually represent me? Is this representative of my values? Does this vibe with me? Is this what I'm trying to create? Is this really where I want to go? Like that process gets kind of just skipped because it's like from idea to action, from idea to action. And that's maybe how it works for my personality, but there's a lot of people that maybe aren't like that, but maybe they're not questioning is what I'm doing a reaction to a pressure that I'm feeling by seeing social media or seeing somebody else do something or somebody else's uh script that was put in my head about what success is. Yeah. And so what you're talking about, self-knowledge is not just like, oh, I I'm me and I know what I like. Like I like cats or something. You know, that's great. You know you can like these different things in life, but um the self-knowledge that you're talking about is something that you already know, but at the same time you're not listening. So slowing down enough to just check with yourself is this the right pathway forward? Is this something that helps my goals and helps me and makes me feel at my best or whatever is like uh a really important force right now in the world. I mean how many forces are there right now that are pushing people in the other direction?

SPEAKER_01

Tremendously.

SPEAKER_00

Louder, faster, more, you know? How do you differentiate between self-knowledge in in the sense of I know myself and I know who I am and what I like versus the self trust that I think you're getting at? Because it's really more about trusting that trusting your intuition and trusting yourself to be able to make the right decisions, right?

SPEAKER_01

Right, right. Okay, that's a very good question. I love that. So, first and foremost, let me explain what intuition is, how you can identify that if it's your intuition that's talking or just an external influence that's giving you some thoughts which you think might be true for you. So always remember one thing intuition is never that dramatic. Intuition is that deeper inner knowing and it keeps knocking on your door over and over again. Thoughts come and go. Emotions come and go, they always keep changing. Our mind goes through 60 to 70,000 thoughts in 24 hours. Every human mind is capable of thinking, 60, 70, sometimes a little more thoughts, but at least 60 to 60, 70,000 thoughts in 24 hours. But if there's a concept or a feeling or an emotion or an idea that keeps coming to your mind over and over again, or like an intuitive nudge or some kind of a nudge from within, internal nudge, that okay, I should go do this thing. I should maybe talk to that person, or maybe I should think about this next thing as a as my next step in my career or in my relationship. Maybe that person, maybe something about your health. If it keeps coming again and again, then there is a deeper connection. So that could be something which is more real for you, rather than that, okay, today I want to do this, maybe tomorrow, tomorrow I want to do this. So it's never if it's if it's not permanent, if it's not recurring, then it's not meant to be for you. But if it's if it's coming again and again, then it is your calling. So start working on that, you know, do something about it, take an action based on that. It's like when I when I talk about, you know, um slowing your mind down, it's like this this is the example that I give to most of my students that think about how when you look at a pond and if the water is clear, let's say you find you see some kind of a shiny object at the base of that pond, right? But you don't really know what that really is. What do you do? Do you actually stick your hand in there to try and see what that is to pick it up? No, you actually very patiently wait for a few moments, let the you know, surface level agitation settle down. Once it settles, you're able to see, oh wow, that's a silver dollar. Let me go pick it up. That's when you go and pick it up. So give it some time, let it settle, let your thoughts settle. If you can still see that idea coming back to you, then that's your path. Go for it.

SPEAKER_00

It seems to me like also this culture of reactivity gets in the way of that a lot because what you're saying is to be a little more patient and slow down, which is like just the opposite of what we're kind of trained to do, right? I mean with with politics and social media and everything, it's like react right now. We want you to be angry, get upset, and go do something about it immediately. So like there's so much value in just training your brain even to just not do that, even just a couple of seconds of before a reaction. I know that I personally uh benefit from that a lot because I'm, you know, a feeling person by nature. I'm a excitable person and not easily scandalized per se, but like I don't know. There's a lot of value in that for for me, and especially for anybody who feels deeply or is easily affected by things going on in the world or that uh that that feeling. So you're based in Toronto now. Um, but can you share a little bit about your background and where your story began?

SPEAKER_01

All right. So yep, I'm based in Toronto, but uh my story begins in India long ago. I moved to Canada in 2013 as a student to uh study advanced animation and design in uh Sheridan College, Oakville. It's the world's best in animation. But frankly, to be honest, uh like even before I moved to Canada, I was already working in India for about eight years in design and animation and TV and film. And uh creativity has always been a huge, huge part of my life. And uh as a kid, I was always drawing and always doodling and sketching something, something or the other. I don't I never knew at that time that I was gonna be an animation artist eventually. I I used to love cartoons. I still love cartoons, I still love animation. That I think that side of me will never ever leave me, that imaginative critic side of me. But at the same time, I was raised in a very spiritually rooted household. Meditation was a part of my my daily activities. It was never something exotic or something, it was just normal life for me. And uh talks around manifestation and belief systems and all that inner world, you know, talked about your inner world and your the way you think. Those were just again a part of my everyday chatter with my every everyday talks with my father. And but but of course, you know, like in a very different way. It wasn't like how you see those you you hear about those concepts now in social media. No, the way I used to talk about them was it was very different as a kid. And now it's all getting highlighted. But the thing is, like I was mainly at that time focusing around things about studies or things about arts or making friends. Because my dad used to tell me, you know, one of the most famous things my father used to say was a man is known by the company he keeps. So he told me in a in simple ways, he said, your vibe attracts your tribe. That's what he was telling me. Now we hear that on Instagram that hey, it's it's a very famous quote now. But that's what my father told me back in early, you know, like late 80s and early and early 90s. So that's what that's how life was. My father was in Indian Navy who was uh he was in the Navy for uh in the in the 60s and 70s. I was born in '83. He was very disciplined and that's how he raised me. He was the one who introduced me to the idea of inner beliefs and uh, you know, how inner beliefs shape your outcomes. He taught me about law of attraction through this book called The Bhagavad Gita, which is the most spiritual book of this world. I don't know if you've heard of it or not, but if you haven't come across this word, this book, you have, so that's good. So go, you know, please do read it. I promise it's it'll change your life completely. It changed my life back in the day. I still have a copy of Bhagavad Gita, the same book here with me in Toronto. I brought it with me when I came. So yeah, that was a really, really big part of my life growing up. And later on, my father even put me into athletics. And uh as a teenager, I competed as a national level, national level swimmer. And then the same stuff happened in my athletics also. My coaches were also trying to tell me the same thing. They were reinforcing the same concepts of you know, uh mindset and visualization and and belief system, but just in a different language, you know, mental resilience was taught to me at that time, but just from the viewpoint of being an athlete, being a being a being a swimmer at that time. So I was getting all this blend of, you know, this blend of discipline and sports and spirituality from from multiple different directions. And in spite of all of that, I was still a little boy. I was still a boy doing boy little boy things, getting into mischief, living a very normal life. But internally, I remember I was still quite different. I was always observing life in a very different way, quite differently than my peers, I would say. And uh I was talkative, very talkative. And that what led me to be a radio jockey in India in multiple languages. But growing up, I was also very quiet sometimes. I would be super, super quiet, just almost observing, almost, you know, like just constantly observing. And I think that contrast of being talkative, yet very uh, you know, observing and quiet sometimes, that contrast is the one that shaped a lot of things, how I see, you know, uh it shaped the way I see uh things now. That entire world, that that entire life at that time, the experiences that I learned, the stuff that I learned at that time gave me an understanding how I how I see transformation now and how I share that with my students at this point. So I would say that was a very good, you know, um contribution towards making me the person that I am today. And it's it's like I said, it's the foundation of the kind of work that I do now.

SPEAKER_00

That's beautiful. I love that your your father, you know, like you carry his uh his ideas and his um wisdom in your work. That's beautiful. And what struck me about that story is you have this kind of holistic experience because there's a lot of people that maybe they do sports and then they don't do creative stuff, or maybe they do creative stuff and they don't do sports, and maybe they are spiritual and they don't do either of those things. Um, but you have kind of this combination that is a little bit rare, I guess.

SPEAKER_01

And not to forget my dad wanted me to be a doctor also, by the way, which I chose not to, because I chose animation. So I have that science also in my mind. So I I did study physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, you name it. So yeah, that's also been there as a part of my education.

SPEAKER_00

Really interesting, like the breadth of your yeah, of your experience and your education. Do you think that being that you have all those different sides of yourself and also that you're talking about this very sociable and talkative side with your pensive and observant side, having this duality in you and multiple things, um, multiple sides of your personality being so different areas of life from the physical to the spiritual to the creative and everything else. How did that influence your decision to pursue something that requires this holistic approach to life?

SPEAKER_01

Well, frankly speaking, it added a lot to the kind of like I said, it uh adds a lot to my work. Now I understand things from many different angles. When I talk about manifestation, I can explain manifestation spiritually also, emotionally also, but also scientifically. You know, so having all of this experience, I'm grateful I got that kind of an upbringing and that kind of exposure at such a young age. I like I said, I can explain things better. I'm able to handle a lot of different kinds of people. Handle doesn't like I'm able to make a connection with a lot of different kinds of people. So even if a person is supremely logical, I can talk about logic and science and even then help them understand what they're going through. If somebody's going through a relationship problem where the domain is entirely emotional, so I can make a connection with that person on that level also. But on the other hand, if a person talks about God, if a person talks about universe, energies, their their spirituality or spiritual sciences and everything, I can talk about those things as well. So I'm glad I got that knowledge base. I'm still learning, to be honest. Every person who I come across, I learn a lot from them. And in a very beautiful way, life sends me those people who teach me the kind of lesson that I needed that needed at that time. So I always see that every student who's there who's looking at me as a as a coach, but I am learning so much from my students in every way possible. It's such an amazing thing.

SPEAKER_00

So when you talk about dealing with logical people and speaking their language as well, it reminds me of how many skeptics there are when it comes to things like manifestation. And even myself, like I'm a skeptical person. I always considered myself a scientifically minded individual. I my parents are both engineers, and so I come from that background. So what do you say to people who are maybe a little bit skeptical of this concept in general?

SPEAKER_01

Well, first of all, it depends on the kind of question that I come across. But in in general, what happens is skepticism comes out of you being convinced in a certain kind of an ideology or a certain kind of belief system. Only until you get to know a new thing or a new theory, for example. But when it comes to, let's say you spoke about those people who are supremely logical and scientific. Well, manifestation is science, it's based in energy. It's literally based on energy science in the same in the sense that your frequency is what attracts the 3D life around you. If you're feeling underconfident or low confidence and you're used to feeling that that's your emotional pattern, that's gonna keep that's gonna make sure that you don't really succeed in various areas of life. But if you're used to feeling confident or to the for the lack of any better words, let's say carefree and you don't really care how things are, you will still succeed no matter what the situations are. Right? So it's your inner beliefs that actually decide what's happening around you. And when it comes to explaining this concept scientifically, think about it. Like in your cell phone, when you dial your mom's number, does it ever go to your friend or your dad? No, it only goes to your mom. Why? Because it's science-based, it's that number is connected to a certain frequency, which will only take the call to your mom. Right? Even if your mom and dad were sitting together, it's still gonna ring your mom's phone. And that's science. So, in the same way, if you're feeling underconfident, no matter what the situation is, you will continue to feel underconfident unless you break that, unless you change that frequency. Or in another simple example is like how a radio set, if it's set on 91.1, it's only gonna play 91.1 as a station. If you don't like that song, what you gotta do? Do you gotta change the radio set or the city or the country, or you change the frequency? What do you do? You just you turn the dial and you change the frequency and then it'll start catching a different station. So, how many frequencies are available out there? Unlimited. But why is your station catching 91.1? Because the dial is set on 91.1. So changing a new boyfriend is not gonna help you. Finding a new job is not gonna help you, or finding a new country is not gonna help you. It always comes down to how you feel. If you're used to feeling unsuccessful, you can sit next to Elon Musk and feel unsuccessful. If you're used to feeling, hey, I'm successful, you can create success anywhere you want in this world. That's what it is.

SPEAKER_00

I know that personally I have seen this in action with myself because in the times that I've been in my natural state, which is I probably have like a natural confidence, I would say. You know, people have their different baselines for that based on their experiences and and their upbringing and and whatever. But I know that when I've been in that natural state, that is very default to me. Things happen, things move, people come, work comes, creativity comes, uh, success in some manner comes. And as soon as I'm in situations where in large part it's been with other people who have uh a much lower sense of self confidence and agency, or people who um are inherently they they think of themselves as unlucky. This is like one of the biggest influences negatively on. Me that I can remember these situations where I'm convinced that things can work out and they're skeptical and worried, and that ends up affecting me, and then my results show you know as well. So it's it's really interesting. It's very contagious, I think, this mentality.

SPEAKER_01

Absolutely. And emotional patterns are something that we pick up from surroundings also. This is why, back to the same point, that your vibe attracts your tribe and the kind of people around you, they also affect you. You know, so if you see your friends or the people around you reacting to a certain thing in a certain way, you in a way subconscious so in a way subconscious manner also pick up the same kind of behavior. This is why it becomes important for you to audit your circle, audit your company, and be very, very skeptical of who you wanna invest in in terms of your energy, who you wanna keep around you. So that's what really, really decides the kind of life you're gonna have. You cannot plant roses in a desert and expect them to blossom. You need a different kind of soil for that. While, you know, if you don't do that, you're gonna stay stuck in that situation. Otherwise, you won't be able, no matter how much you try. Because manifestation doesn't really respond to what do you want or what would you like to have. It's always a good thing to have clarity about what do you want and what would you like to have. But what really matters is what your system ends up settling for at the end of the day. It's like an emotional thermostat. If you're used to not trusting people, the other person in front of you can try as much as they want, give you as many proofs as they want that they are trustworthy. But if you're just not able to trust that person unless you change that for yourself, right? Then you won't be able to trust that person and it's not their fault. And every emotion at the end of the day, end of the day becomes your own responsibility because we think that you know emotions are an autopilot. Emotions are never really an autopilot. We think that they are. Emotions are our own responsibility in a very subconscious way. We are responsible for all the emotions. There is a subconscious decision making that happens when we decide to feel sad for something or happy for something or jealous for something or grateful for something. So it's always a very, very conscious, uh, very, very subconscious your own choice. That's what I help people become aware of. And once you become aware of that, you can change that emotional pattern and decide the kind of emotion you want for yourself.

SPEAKER_00

It it requires a lot of small decisions, doesn't it? Yes. It's like a practice. It's not practice for sure. You know, one day I just decide to be happy, one day I just decide to be unbothered about everything. That's not at all.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but also uh I'll I'll I'll tell you something. You know, emotions are connected to your beliefs through your thoughts. When you feel something as an emotion, that emotion is bound to give you a thought. Or when you think about something, there is an emotion connected to that thought. Thoughts and emotions, they go hand in hand. If you keep thinking the same thought over and over again, it's gonna give you a kind of a belief. And belief is like a shirt. Like right now wearing a pink shirt, okay? And if I don't like this pink shirt, I can go change it into a green shirt or a white shirt. A belief is just like changing a shirt. A lot of people think that okay, if I believe in something, that belief is never gonna change. No, if you have information which is more beneficial, and when you allow yourself to accept that new piece of information, you can very well change that belief. And that information acceptance comes through awareness. For example, let's say if I drop some ketchup on my shirt and I don't know that, and you tell me, hey, this ketchup on your shirt, and let's say I reject that information, I'm gonna walk around with it with ketchup on my shirt. But the second I see a mirror, oh wow, well, she was right, there is something on my shirt, that's when I'll go and check it. So it always comes down to your own choice, your own awareness that when do you want to make that decision to change that shirt of yours? So the world can tell you as much as they want, but till the time you decide to change that shirt, that belief, only then you'll be able to change it. And there is a possibility for you to change your belief. Nothing is permanent, emotions are not permanent.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I think a lot of people are stuck in a narrative that they've built over time due to their experiences, and they say, Well, I didn't have privilege, or I'm unlucky, or um whatever the case may be. There's so much of that. And if you know, if you're really committed to a narrative, like you will live it out. I mean, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy thing. Absolutely. And it's hard to watch. So it's um it's really inspiring to hear you talk about it and even just the experiences that I've had after speaking to you that opened up things for me that I was like, no, I need to I need to change this, you know, neuropathway situation. And it's possible. It is possible. It's I've noticed a difference in myself. I mean, it's that's that's an amazing thing about the brain.

SPEAKER_01

Absolutely. I'm glad you have. Thank you.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Let's talk a little bit about what led you down the path of sacred arts like yoga, healing, and meditation. Was there a specific moment or was it a slow realization when you kind of realized that how you were thinking and relating to yourself was actually shaping everything else?

SPEAKER_01

I would say kind of mix of both, to be honest with you. It kind of sort of started in uh 2016. I came to Canada in 2013. So around 2016, as I was uh getting to know Toronto better, I was getting to know this Western life better. I started socializing more, I started exploring spiritual and wellness spaces, events and stuff, and hoping to connect with some people or hoping to feel some depth and some kind of connection in the social sense. But honestly, frankly speaking, I was at that time, I was very disappointed. The reason for that is because I saw people who were genuinely really searching for answers, but many, many spaces, many of those gatherings, they felt more like just performances, just surface level stuff. There rarely was any kind of real inner work. And I grew up where meditation and inner reflection was just a part of normal daily life. So, and by the way, not the entire India is like that. My family was like that. So I remember leaving some of those events back in 2016, thinking that, hey, you know, something essential is really missing, something deep is missing. The grounding was missing, the emotional authenticity was missing. People were searching for answers, so those answers were missing. So for a second, I thought at that time that maybe I should do something about it. But at that time, I was I was working in TV and film. And I wasn't really trying to be a coach or anything like that. I never even saw myself like that at that time. But yet there was a kind of a calling. I felt this quiet pull from within that, you know, almost like a responsibility that if I know something that I that can help people connect with themselves in real in a real way, then why am I staying excited? Why I should do something about it. So that's when I started, you know, doing some doing something. I started very, very small. I started hosting some meditation sessions, some breath work sessions without any training at that time, by the way, just through experience, because I knew so much growing up, because I had practiced so much. So in simple little small gatherings, I started doing that. And it was- it wasn't it was anything flashy, nothing huge. And but I was lucky that I got a really good response from people. So it was very nice to see response from people at that time. And that's what slowly, gradually led me to deepen my training in yoga. I went back to India, got my certifications in Kunalini Yoga, Sound Healing, Hata Yoga, and Reiki training. Now I'm a Reiki grandmaster, and eventually, slowly, gradually, all of this grew into my company called Interior of Arts. At some point of time, I started learning about, I even learned about um uh tarot reading. I always had a deep, deep interest in numerology, and that's why my name has double Y, if you look at it. So uh normally the word the word Ajay has only one Y. My name has two Y's. Why? Because I numeralized my, if that's a word, my own name. And then um, yeah, so slowly, gradually, all of this, you know, turned into uh now me having my company called Intuitive Arts, where I help people become friends with themselves through my work of life coaching and uh manifestation coaching. I help people train their minds and um yeah, it's where um I chose to show up in resonance with what I knew and what I, you know, and what I learned and how I contribute more to people. So that's how it's been.

SPEAKER_00

I love that concept of uh training the mind because people kind of accept that however my mind is is what it is, and that's it. That's who I am, and this is how I am, and this is my story, and um to think about being able to train your mind is so important. I mean, we talk about training the body all the time, and somehow I've I've mentioned this before in another episode that people who are very intelligent and who are very cerebral, they tend to separate themselves from their body in a way. They kind of think, well, I'm I'm the smart person, I'm not gonna be the the gym rat or whatever. But your brain is part of your body and your mind is your brain, and your mind is your body. And so why would you not want to optimize your brain and your mind and your your whole life experience comes from that? I mean, your whole world is that. It's it's a beautiful thing to think about actually taking the steps to give yourself a an entire like a better reality completely just through your mental experience, which obviously is connected to physical and spiritual and all that stuff. But yeah, it's it's really cool. I love that. Thank you. I forgot to ask you when you talked about swimming and animation. There are two questions that I had. What was your preferred uh event in swimming?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, my preferred event in swimming was I I love freestyle, which is front crawl. I love that. And uh, but I was also pretty good at butterfly. Butterfly was impressive for the girls, right?

SPEAKER_00

Oh yeah. Show the upper body for sure.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. But uh I I used to like freestyle and butterfly both for for two different reasons.

SPEAKER_00

You want to know something funny? I was the person that they always asked to do butterfly because nobody wanted to do it and I was good at it. Yeah. This was when I was like 12 or something. Yeah, yeah. But I did also uh some competitions on butterfly, but I didn't stay with swimming. No, it's okay. Yeah, butterfly is great. I'm naturally like a fish. Uh the other question was animation. You talked about cartoons. So what are your favorites, like all-time favorites, classics?

SPEAKER_01

Oh my god, Tom and Jerry, DuckTales, you know, uh Bugs and Daffy show. I love that. Looney Tunes. And uh Do you remember Tailspin? Oh yeah, it's like one of the best theme songs that was ever written as well. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And guess what? I saw all Spoon it. Yeah. I haul I heard all these songs in Hindi. Imagine that. So That is so wild. Even even duck tails. I love SWAT cats. If you s I don't know if you've seen that or not, SWAT cats, Captain Planet. So yeah. I I love that stuff.

SPEAKER_00

My dad introduced me to the Festival of Animation series when I was very young. Like I was, I don't know, six, seven, something like that. And I I loved it. I just I loved the festival of animation series, and there were all these artists that just like you would never see anywhere. They were just independent uh creators and artists and animators and some really cool stuff. I I loved Claymation growing up.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. Have you seen Pingu, the cartoon? Pingu?

SPEAKER_00

Amazingly, no.

SPEAKER_01

Wow.

SPEAKER_00

I've seen it everywhere, but I've not actually seen it.

SPEAKER_01

Pingu is so cute. It's full it's it's claymation, full claymation. And uh me and my sister, we grew up watching that. It was so cute. It was like some of the most sweetest memories ever.

SPEAKER_00

That's so nice. I was a Wallace and Gromit fan.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah. I've seen that. I've seen that. Yep.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, before it was popular. And then what was it? Um The Same Creator made Creature Comforts, right? I haven't seen the series.

SPEAKER_01

I haven't seen that.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, it's it's amazing. It's like uh it has to be the same creator. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

You know, you know. The first show that I worked in Canada was Thomas the Tank Engine.

SPEAKER_00

No way.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's the first show that I worked on. And now it's called Thomas and Friends. But uh since we're talking about Claymation, it became 3D animated a while ago. But I know that that traditionally it started as uh as claymation back in the day. And I don't know, it was a huge show until I started working on it and I started telling people that I'm working on Thomas. They're like, Thomas, Thomas at Ankanyon? And we're like, yeah, it's called Thomas and Friends now. I'm like, Whoa, that's so cool. It's a British show, it's an old one. So then I did some research and I came across, you know, that wow, it's actually used to be claymation from the UK.

SPEAKER_00

I didn't know that. I I knew that there were books. I remember my little cousins had had the books. And so that was my association. But yeah, absolute classes that I've worked on. Um so we talked about that your work draws from all kinds of different practices from Hooponapono, EFT, NLP, Reiki, and Kuralini Yoga. For someone listening who's curious about all these things but cautious, how do you explain what these tools actually do uh without it sounding super mystical and not understandable for the average person?

SPEAKER_01

Okay, it's non-magic. There's no boo-boo. These are regulation systems, regulation tools. This scientific in nature, of course. So let's start with ho upon upon her. It has four main sentences. I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you. And yes, it sounds spiritualistic and woo-woo for sure, but there's a science behind it in the sense that words have power. So these four sentences, which is I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you, these are those words which leave a deeper impact on our mind. And there's a Japanese scientist called Dr. Masaru Imoto who did an experiment with water. And through his experiments, a lot of people still don't consider him as a scientist because he was uh he he he got his book published about water, and uh his his all all the studies uh got published in his book. That book became a national bestseller. So a lot of people think that he was mainly trying to get his book published and become a national best you know, uh bestseller. But what he proved in that book was through his experiments was actual real science. And if it wasn't really showing any effect on people, how are people getting results? How am I able to get results in my students with this practice? So what he did was in that experiment was he took samples of water, regular distilled water from uh from the tap, regular normal water, and he saved that sample different samples of the same water in different petri dishes and whatnot, and he labeled it with certain words of positive and negative nature. So words like, I'm sorry, or I love you, or you're beautiful, or I will kill you, or you are so evil, you fool. Like basically a mix of all positive and negative words, and he froze those samples overnight. And the next morning he took those uh samples of water and he though they'll basically it turned into ice at that time, and he examined that under the microscope. And he was able to see something really interesting that all the positively labeled structure had snowflaky, crystalline kind of structures in it. They were looking very beautiful, but on the other hand, uh on the other hand, the negative ones had really irregular shaped structures in it. There was no definition, it actually looked really ugly for the lack of any better words. So they were not so picturesque, they were not so attractive looking or not so pretty looking. So from there, he was able to understand that okay, water gets affected by what is labeled on it. Just a simple practice of labeling the container that water is kept in. And it it sounds almost unbelievable. Yeah. And the same thing is connected to another practice of mine called EFT, which is emotional freedom tapping. What you do is you tap on certain meridian points on your body and it releases those trapped emotions. And how do emotions get trapped over there? Is when you do EFT, sometimes people yawn a lot. And when you yawn, what are you doing? You're exhaling water vapor, right? A lot of people end up crying or they have some kind of a tears in their eyes. Their eyes water normally, naturally, anyway. Or some people feel sweaty around their neck or around their temples. And what is sweat? Sweater has H2 or water. What is tears? Tears have H2 or water. So again, all that water that's accumulated in your body by, you know, in due course of time of maybe a few days or a few hours, a few weeks, sometimes even months or years, and that starts manifesting in people's lives in the physical form, as sometimes as fever, sometimes as physical, you know, like sometimes uh you're not feeling well, or you don't just your mood is off for a constant for a long amount of time, and then you start getting sick also, turns into some kind of an illness. So when you do EFT and when you do it regularly, you tap on certain meridian points, all that water, emotionally charged water, gets released from your body, and then you first of all see an instant relief. And when you do this on a on a regular basis over a period of time, your life around you starts changing. Why? Because your belief system, your thinking process, your thought process keeps changing over and over again. You're basically changing your own emotional frequency. And like I said, what is manifestation? It's frequency work. So whatever is your frequency is gonna decide what's around you in 3D life. That's how it has a really deep connection. Clear those emotions, your life around you starts getting cleared. That's what's there. So that's the second technique called EFT. Then there is NLP, which is neurolinguistic programming, a very scientific technique. So no woo-woo here. Neurolinguistic programming is what? Programming, programming means coding, in a way, if you look at it. Computer programming means computer coding, software coding, right? So NLP, neuro means brain, L means linguistic. Programming is basically the coding of the language in which one part of your brain talks to another part of your brain. And what happens in your brain is your emotions get processed, your thoughts get processed, your feelings get processed. And all of this is again coming back to what? The same frequency work, the same what I call is identity work. Because what is your identity? It's the way you behave, what you believe about yourself, what you how you think, how you process emotions. And this is who I am, right? That's what my identity is. So when you change that programming, that inner programming using NLP through various techniques, you basically start manipulating with your brain's patterns, emotional patterns. And what happens after that is again your frequency is changing, your outer world is changing. Again, NLP is one of those things. Then I also use Reiki, which is energy healing. What is Reiki? Reiki is basically understanding the connection between you and the universal life force energy that's out there. And that energy is now this is the realm where a lot of people think this is maybe woo-woo, but it's not. It's as simple as think of it this, think of it that moment. When you have a toothache, what do you do mostly? Sit there like this, because your tooth is hurting, correct? What are you this action of your you putting your hand over there? Let's say you stub your knee somewhere. Oh, you put your hand over there. Why does your hand naturally go to that spot where it's hurting? Or if your shoulder is hurting, you push, put it over there, you kind of squeeze it a little bit, you massage it a little bit. It kind of feels a little good. Did you fix your injury? No, but it feels good. Why? Because your hands are energy givers and receivers both. Right? Every person has this ability to send and receive energy, universal life force energy, through their hands. And Reiki teaches you how to make that connection with that life force energy around you, universal life force energy around you, and direct it towards where it's needed. That's why in Reiki we say anyone can be a healer. So it's very easy to understand that connection and become a healer. That's what I do in my Reiki. And then there is Kundalini Yoga, which gives you a deeper understanding of all those energy centers in your body, most popularly known as your chakras. How many chakras do we have? Commonly known as, you know, those energy centers. A lot of people think we have seven chakras, but we actually have 114 chakras in our body. And when you understand that part, it takes you deeper into the science of yoga, deeper into the science of meditation, deeper in the science of pranayam, which is popularly known as in the world now as breath work. It's not breath work, it's pranayam. The word pranayam is a Sanskrit word. Pranayam means prana plus ayam. Pran means your life force energy, which is which is dependent on your shwas. Shwas means your breath. It's a Sanskrit word. Ayam means dimension. So taking your breath into various different dimensions of your own existence, of your own physical being through different routines is what pranayam is. Real pranayam is what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about that superficial, artificial breath work that the bastardized, for lack of any better words, that version of uh, you know, breath work that's being served to people. No, I'm talking about that pranayam, which is as simple as counting the seconds for the number of seconds you take in, take your breath in for, and the number of seconds you breathe out for, and then controlling that, allowing your breath to be slower and slower and slower, elongating your breaths and slowly gradually affecting your mind. A very cool example I'll give you is think about that one time. Let's say you're angry or agitated or stressed about something. Try to visualize that point for a second and think about it. How is your breath at that time? Really short, right? If you're panicking, if you're stressed about something, you have short. Shallow breaths. But when you wake up in the morning after having had a really beautiful sleep, how do you feel at that time? Your breath is long and very relaxed and comfortable. Why? Isn't because your your mood is like that? No, no, no, no. Because do you think your mood is comfortable in the morning and you're agitated otherwise? No, it's the opposite. When you control your breath, when you change your breathing pattern, your emotional pattern changes. So that's what I teach in my program also. It helps people basically get a control over their emotional patterns, and that's what decides what their frequency is gonna be. That frequency in the end becomes their identity, and that's how people start seeing results in their life.

SPEAKER_00

Do you think that starting with the breath is one of the easiest things for people to adopt into their life if they're not doing anything at any of these things?

SPEAKER_01

Yes, breath is definitely one of those things, but to be honest with you, breath still needs a bit of a guidance sometimes. You know, you need someone to guide you that okay, you know, how I do is like how I offer a count, so a certain count, let's say five-second breath or seven-second breath or 12-second breath. I give a count to my students, and yes, you can practice that as well. If you're if you're able to find a spot somewhere away from distractions, you can settle down and maybe put on a counter on YouTube and start working with that. That's a very good way. Again, you still need a direction over there. Even you finding a YouTube video is a direction if you look at it. But something still, which is very, very simple, is just simply sit there and chant hope on a porno. I'm sorry, please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. Those words affect you a lot. You know, hope on a porno directly affects your subconscious mind. And when you combine your breath work with hope on a porno, man, the effects are really profound in that case. Because you're allowing your mind to quiet down and calm down through your breath, and then you add healing of hope on a porno along with that. You go somewhere else. You become really, really calm at that time, and you're able to find that awareness and clarity almost instantly.

SPEAKER_00

And with ho ponapono, um, you're speaking these things to yourself, right? You're you're making these statements to yourself or to the universe.

SPEAKER_01

I love that question. I love that question. So here's the thing Hopon Upono is can be chanted just for yourself, also, just to yourself that I'm sorry, be so giving me thank you. I love you. A lot of people think that okay, if I'm saying sorry, who am I apologizing to? If I'm saying please forgive me, who am I asking forgiveness from from? It's not about that. When you don't understand this framework, often people end up thinking, let's say you've had a conflict with the with a loved one where you think it was the other person's fault and you want them to apologize, but at the end uh somebody tells you, hey, you do ho upon upon, and then you're saying, I'm sorry, please forgive me. Why should I say sorry? Why should I say um please forgive me? What am I saying here? No, that's not even the point here. You're grabbing it from the opposite side. You simply, this simple chanting happens with between you and your subconscious mind, or you and the universe, you could say, that before this, I actually, there's a there's a master affirmation that I almost always tell my students to begin with, which says that I take full responsibility for every emotion that I'm experiencing right now. Which means, let's say I'm feeling angry right now because somebody else did something wrong, which I don't like. But at that time, that anger becomes my own responsibility. I say that I am responsible for this anger or this frustration or this heartbreak. And when that becomes your responsibility, the natural question, unspoken question on a subconscious level comes to you. Do you want to continue to feel that way? If you're already aware that you're angry, if you're already aware you're suffering, do you want to continue to suffer? That becomes a very unspoken natural question at that time. And 9.5 times out of 10, the answer is no, I don't want to continue feeling this. So, okay, surrender, settle down, and say, I'm sorry for whatever reason this situation showed up in my life. Please forgive me, dear universe. I may have done something, maybe not. It's not about blaming. I'm not guilty of anything, I haven't made any mistake, but please forgive me for whatever reason, known unknown, spoken, unspoken, there might be something in my frequency due to which this experience has showed up. But I'm glad, thank you, dear universe. I'm grateful for this moment of connection with you, where I'm able to clear my negative emotions and cleanse my emotions right now. And I love you so much, dear universe, because this is the way you're helping me move forward in life. And this is called conversation hoopanapono, which I offer in my programs. So that's how Hopanapono goes a lot deeper and fixes everything.

SPEAKER_00

It is really lovely. And I did some of your videos as a meditations. Um, even if somebody's not that familiar with this language and the process, it's it's something that feels so healing, you know. Um, even if you just have a few moments in the day to check in with yourself and experience this. I highly recommend it.

SPEAKER_01

Absolutely. Thank you. Thank you. I'm glad you did that. And also, there's a I I've made a couple of videos about just simple one-a-wait hope on a porno chanting. You just sit there and chant along with me. The video's already there. You don't even have to count the number of times, you sit there and chant along with me. I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you. I love you. I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you, and keep going on. It's about 10 to 12 minutes long. Just simply plug it in your ears and go along with chanting.

SPEAKER_00

I do think it's really empowering too, even if you believe you've done nothing wrong in a situation and received some kind of negative experience, um, to take responsibility for your own forward momentum, your own forward movement and learning from the experience. Um, because it's very easy to get in the trap of why did this happen to me? I am a victim of something, of some experience or something in my life. That is so disempowering because it puts you in this position of just a totally immovable, in unchangeable thing that you're living out in this narrative. And, you know, one of the things that I felt like was really helpful with your videos uh with your guided experience was I guess sparking in me this desire to learn. And I think it comes from that. It's like a desire to learn from the experience, to not repeat it, to change your frequency, to change what you're attracting into your life and to take responsibility for where I'm going with this. Like what am I gonna do with this? This happened and it's negative. First of all, I never want it to happen again, but also I want to feel empowered that I have some control over how my life is going to play out as a result.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I'm glad you had that experience. And also, that's something that I mostly explain to my students as well. That anytime when we see that, you know what, I lost something. Let's say you cancer cancel, I hope not, a person going through a breakup. I lost a person from my life, I lost a relationship. We never really lose anything. When a person goes away from you, or let's say you lose, for example, I hope not, cancer cancel if some if someone loses a job. So at that moment, a lot of people see that as failures. But hope on a porno teaches you to see those failures at f as feedback, as information. So when we do hope on a porno from that, from a deeper level at that time, there's a line, uh there's a point where we be become grateful for that experience also. That I'm grateful for this breakup. I'm grateful for losing this job because it's giving me an opportunity to understand what went wrong. Because if you don't fix that, attracting is easy, manifesting is very easy, but maintaining what you manifest, what you whatever you manifest becomes a bit tricky sometimes. That's why finding a boyfriend, finding a girlfriend is easy. But maintaining a relationship is where balancing work comes into play. You know, your daily, daily work comes into, uh, you know, is involved. That's what's needed for you to maintain that relationship. Anyone can manifest money, but it goes away. You must have seen this, also, you must have experienced this that you manifest a result, but after a while it goes away. Why? Because maintenance is also needed, and maintenance comes through gratitude. Maintenance comes through, you know, being grateful that okay, I'm able to attract this. I'm so happy it's there. Now it's my responsibility to make sure I keep maintaining this, I keep attracting the same result again and again and again. So if you don't fix that inner frequency by learning the lessons in case if something goes away, then you can attract a new thing, but it'll gonna it's gonna go away again if you don't fix that. That's why people keep saying, hey, this song is not working, maybe the radio set has falled. They change the radio, but it's still playing 91.1. But you don't have to change the radio, you just gotta change the frequency from that.

SPEAKER_00

One of the things that I think about a lot is, especially with the nature of this podcast and the writing that I do is the Renaissance mindset, um, the multi-passionate human being, the the holistic approach to optimizing the human life. Um, I know that Renaissance thinkers thought in terms of the mind, body, spirit craft and environment as to some degree inseparable. It's like all part of the same human. In your work, where do you see people still trying to compartmentalize individual things that actually need to be integrated together?

SPEAKER_01

That's a good question. I like that. Here's the thing a lot of people, they separate their mindset or their brain from their body, right? They're mostly focused on their body as such. The life doesn't work like that. You know, your life actually is a combination of all different things. You know, a lot of people think that okay, your money is one thing, but if there's no purpose behind that money, it's not gonna work. You know, a lot of people think that okay, relationships are there and healing is not needed, or a lot of people are not even aware of that part. But here's the thing: you gotta be connected to the healing aspect of being in a relationship to be able to be authentic in a relationship. The point that I'm trying to say is the point I'm trying to make over here is that everything is connected. Your health affects your confidence, for example. If you're healthy, it makes you feel confident. A lot of people think I won't be able to be con uh, I won't be like I'm just not confident. And that's what keeping them unhealthy also. But you fix your health, confidence comes on its own, right? Same same thing goes for your career. A lot of people think that okay, if I have a good career, only then I'll be confident. But think of it this way: when you improve your health, it makes you confident, and that confidence gives you a better career. So they're all connected. So there's no compartmentalization at all, anyway. Our life essentially has four areas if you look at it. Your health, which is your physical well-being, emotional well-being, mental well-being, and spirituality as well, spiritual well-being. Then there is relationships. Relationship is what? You with you. What kind of an identity identity do you believe in? What do you think about yourself? Then you with around everybody, uh, everybody around you, your 3D world. That means your friends and family, your professional circle, even the security guard if you're building. You have a relationship with a stranger as well in this world. A random stranger on Facebook, if you look at it, right? That comes in relationships. Then comes your work or business, whatever makes you feel successful. That's the third section. And the fourth one is your money aspect. How do you make money? Money and work, mostly people think they are connected. But no, all of these four areas are connected. There's no fifth area if you look at it. Spirituality, a lot of people think that's that's the fifth area. No, spirituality is the connection between you and the universe, you and God, you and everybody else around you, if you, you know, if you if you pay attention. So, a very simple example being you go through a breakup, you lose a job because you're not focused over there. You lose a job, your money comes down. Money comes down, you're stressed out, your health is going away. So, all those four areas are getting affected. But on the other hand, let's say you start improving your health, gives you confidence. Confidence gives you an opportunity to attract more jobs, a new job, or new business opportunities. From there you start making more money. Then you're confident, your confidence starts reflecting in other areas of life as well. Then, as a confident person, you attract another confident person in your life. It's always about the emotional frequency, and emotional frequency has these four buttons your health, your relationships, your career, and your finances. Always there.

SPEAKER_00

The the Renaissance mindset or the renaissance approach to life is really just holistic.

SPEAKER_01

It is holistic. You can never, you know. Also think of it this way: when you when you go on a trip in your car, do you only check one tire? Or do you actually make sure all the four tires are working pretty good? No, you you make sure that all the four areas are all the four tires are are equally as good and none of them are actually giving you any trouble. That's how it is. You cannot only focus on fixing a relationship while ignoring all the other areas. You cannot only think of getting abs while, you know, because you want to impress girls. But no, it has to be a holistic approach. You have to understand other areas of life also. Secluded, compartmentalized, one-sided results, they never really exist. They do not. They cannot. This is why in my group coaching programs, a lot of times what happens is that this is one of the best things about having students in a group setting is that the frequency of feeling not good enough, making a person feel lazy. Let's say one person is feeling that is seeing that that kind of a result or that kind of a pattern in their health area. But on the other hand, another person in the same group could be having the same emotional frequency about their finances. They're not able to take uh action in their money area because they are lazy. They think they're not good enough. So one is dealing with overweight issue, the other person is dealing with a thin wallet issue, different results, but a similar emotional pattern. That's why, you know, it's able they're able to understand that hey, it's a holistic approach. If you if you look at it, that's what's needed.

SPEAKER_00

And that's how we're I often wondered if that's why I'm so attracted to the concept of uh the Renaissance person, because I actually just see it as the fullest expression of the entirety of humanity. Not not like um, you know, I focus on the multi-passionate thing a lot because that's how it gets expressed, you know, in multi multiple interests. It's most obvious that way, but really that's just a full expression of the human spirit because the human spirit is not a one-track thing. There are many facets to it, and so I don't know. I'm I'm really attracted to this idea, that's why I made a podcast about it. Yeah, we're we're just reaching a point where people are a lot more free to express themselves and be themselves and explore things, and it's a whole different era of youth life that society underestimates how much identity permission people actually need before they are able to live fully expressed lives?

SPEAKER_01

Um yes, people definitely need permission to exist differently. But to be honest with you, if your question is about society, what is society? Society is made of us only. It's basically a collection of people who think in a certain way. And and when one person starts thinking differently, and if that one person starts inspiring another person to start thinking differently, and those two people inspire another two people, it's five people now, five becomes ten, ten becomes thirty, thirty becomes three hundred. So that's how society forms. The point is, the main question over here, it's not about society. In my understanding, it's essentially about how you see yourself as an individual. The second you decide to do something good for yourself, the kind of ex the kind of experience you want to have in your life. Because no matter what the society is telling you, at the end of the day, it's always your own conscious choice, whether you allow yourself to get affected by society or not. It comes down to awareness at the end of the day. So take a moment and become a become aware of what do you want. And if you're not getting it, fix that and go get it as an emotional experience, first of all. And then set that as an example and maybe influence one more person and teach that person to influence another person. And those two people teach maybe a couple of more other people. And a lot of people think that, you know, that's that's leadership, leadership, uh, leadership quality, and not a lot of people are leaders. But let me tell you one thing: everyone is a leader. How do I say that? Think of it this way: at some point in time, we have come across these simple little examples in our life where we did not know, as uh very simple example be I don't know how to play this video game. I spoke to a friend, he taught me how to play this video game, and now I can also play that. What did that that friend do? He led me at that time. And if I know how to do how if I know how to log on on Zoom, a friend doesn't know how to log on on Zoom. I can tell them, okay, go over there, put in your username, password, and that's how you do it. So leading people is innate, is is is an innate nature, is in our innate nature. Human beings are born leaders. So it's about taking responsibility and leading yourself to get the desired result in your life. When you when a person starts doing that, the question then becomes if if the question at the end still becomes about society, the point is when every person starts thinking like this in a constructive way, society, the society completely changes at that time. So when you say it's about permissions, you're only seeking permission till the time you haven't taken your own responsibility. That's when you need permission. So become aware, look at what's happening around your life, then decide what do you want in life or not. Then you don't need any more any more permissions and leave that impact on one more person and teach that person to leave another impact on another person. That's how slowly gratuity, slowly gratuity, this whole society will change. That's what my inspiration is. That's what my hope is.

That's why I also love making these connections too, because you realize the importance of community and the importance of helping each other and unlocking things for each other, and it's not like this transactional thing. It's like when when you encounter another person like yourself that has the mentality of like you've been very giving with your time and your expertise, and you freely, not freely smartly give it, I think, and you do it intuitively and in a way that is like this is what I'm here to do. And so I've gained value from that, and I, you know, in my own way, want to give you value back. And I think we've lived through such a transactional time and an efficiency-based and com and convenience-based uh culture that those things get lost. And like I love that the concept of that coming back where we're really focused on human potential and excellence and allowing the human spirit to flourish in the way that it does best, and holistic living and multifaceted, multi-passionate living and society as really community. Like you're you're affecting each other, you're leading each other, and you're leading yourself. And ultimately that creates a totally different reality. So it's it's beautiful. I'm glad it is. Last question for you is uh if somebody listening wanted to live a more inspired and intentional life, what would you tell them to pay attention to first before anything else?

SPEAKER_01

That's a good question. I like that. Okay, so first and foremost, I would I would tell them to pay attention to their inner dialogue under all that stress. So settle around somewhere, find a comfortable spot, take a few deep inhales and exhales, let those breaths lead you into stillness. It only takes five to seven minutes max. Calm down first of all, calm your parents down, and then think about that inner dialogue under all that stress, behind all that stress. And I've been there. I know when there is no guidance anywhere, when they when you when you're caught up in that that situation where your mind is running around, you're panicking, you're really emotionally hurt or affected. These things don't really make any sense at that time. And this is why I I do my work that I do, and I post so much content on YouTube out there that okay, if life is really hurting right now, come and watch this video. Do your five, ten minutes of hope on upon with me, do it. And and I'm I'm I'm really coming up with as many ideas as possible about finding doing hope on upono for your fear, doing hope on upono for your guilt, for your money situation, for your relationship situation. And of course, you know, I'll be making more and more such work. The point is that come down, bring your bring your patterns down, bring your emotional pattern down, breathe, and then focus on that inner chatter, that inner dialogue that will give you that opportunity to understand what you want. That's where the real change begins. Because till the time you don't know what you want, what is that? That's clarity. Clarity is the first act of manifestation. It's not about affirmations, it's not about routines, it's not about give me this technique and I'll go apply it and magically I'm gonna have a car next day, magically, some kind of boyfriend's gonna jump out of the screen. It never worked like that. No, it's it's it's not like that. It's basically bringing it down to what do you want? Remember that same example of that shiny object at the base of the pond? So, what do you do? You wait for the surface agitation to settle. So you can clearly see if it's actually a coin or just aluminum foil. What is it? But do you really want to get that or not? So that clarity is really, really important in that time. So pay attention to your inner dialogue. Breathe first. Breathe, and then start noticing what's your mind trying to tell you, what's your heart trying to tell you.

SPEAKER_00

Thank you, Ajay, for this uh beautiful conversation. I enjoy speaking to you so much, and I've really appreciated your work. I appreciate so much your attention to. Creating something meaningful and helping people in this world. Like that's a amazing, wonderful stance. And I think that you're doing a great job. So thank you for joining me.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you so much. Thanks a lot, Mandy. I just want to say thanks for the space that you're holding, to be honest. And uh these kinds of conversations are the ones which are, in my understanding, they're very rare. There's a lot of stuff out there, but this kind of this kind of quality stuff is rare. So thanks for inviting me. And uh, you know, we spoke about a lot of things. We spoke about growth, we spoke about identity, we spoke about spirituality, emotional patterns, and all that human stuff without oversimplifying it. I was still trying to simplify it to quite an extent, but still I didn't oversimplify it in my understanding. So I really appreciate the depth of your questions, the kind of questions you asked me, and the intention behind this platform. So I'm very happy about it. Thank you. And it's been a pleasure sharing this space with you. And I'm grateful, super grateful to be a part of your of this conversation that you're creating for people who are genuinely exploring life more consciously. So thanks for inviting me. Looking forward to more such conversations.

SPEAKER_00

Where can everybody go to find you uh and connect with your work?

SPEAKER_01

All right. So the easiest way to find me is on YouTube and Instagram under my name itself, Ajay Veda. I'll share a link to my uh my YouTube channel with you. And uh that's where my YouTube channel is, where I share my teachings, my practical tools, and conversations around identity, around belief systems, around inner transformation for all those people who want to go deeper. And uh I also run a life coaching program called Identity Shift Experience. It's a one-on-one life coaching program. That's where I work more closely with people in um both one-on-one settings and also group settings. And uh that's where I help them create real identity-level changes in their lives because your identity is connected to your frequency. So I teach them how to fix their frequency. And I also host uh daily live hope on abono healing sessions on Zoom, which are they're fairly simple, but they're really powerful spaces for emotion releasing and for inner clarity.

SPEAKER_00

Perfect. So for anyone listening, those links will be in the description of this video in the show notes. Thank you, Ajay, for everything and hope to talk to you again soon.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you. The pleasure's been mine. Thanks a lot.
