Nate Zelesnik
Probably one of the most numbed out times in our history that I'm aware of. So many people are about 95% of the time after about the age of 30. The average human being is just simply running a series of pre programmed automatic functions that only about 5% of our life are we truly present and aware with our life.
Sean
All right, guys, Nate Zelesnik here today. We just went through a really fun exercise, man. Thanks for doing that.
Nate Zelesnik
My pleasure. It's always my honor to share this magic with anybody. I can.
Sean
Absolutely. And you said you're one of the only people teaching this kind of stuff? Yeah.
Nate Zelesnik
There are two of us allowed to teach this Merpati Puti or the white dove system in north or South America.
Sean
Nice. Yeah, I definitely still feel it in my head. It was a breath work technique, right?
Nate Zelesnik
Yeah.
Sean
And what was the goal of that exercise?
Nate Zelesnik
Well, the goal of that particular exercise is to help to magnetize the body so that we start to feel more energy throughout our body. But then also how can we feel our energy outside? So it really comes down to feeling flowing, projecting and then detecting the energy that we are in space.
Sean
Right. Because we're all made up of energy, right?
Nate Zelesnik
Absolutely. Everything is. And we understand that through physics. Everything has a vibration, information and frequency. And so with the Merpati Putti system, this is an amazing ancient way that was developed by Javanese royalty centuries ago. How we can tap into these myriad sensations and senses that we have that. Well, I'll put it this way, we have a lot more than five senses.
Sean
How many you think there are?
Nate Zelesnik
Well, the ancient Egyptians said that we have 360 senses.
Sean
Whoa.
Nate Zelesnik
So what did they know thousands of years ago that we have forgotten? I would say quite a bit, considering now they're starting to see that they were able to do brain surgery. We still don't know how the pyramids were built. There are a lot of things that we don't understand about ancient civilizations.
Sean
So what else don't we know that is mind blowing? Because even with the five we got now, a lot of people are dull.
Nate Zelesnik
You know, we live in probably one of the most numbed out times in our history that I'm aware of. So many people are humans doing, not humans. Being that I think it was Joe Dispenza that I first heard this from, that we've discovered, or we understand that about 95% of the time, after about the age of 30, the average human being is just simply running a series of prints, programmed automatic functions that only about 5% of our life are we truly present and aware with our life. And I think that's really kind of sad because we have the opportunity to be aware, present and mindful at any time. But it does take that first step to step into asking questions that I like to ask for myself, to help me remember, where am I and what am I doing? As I ask myself exactly that question, where am I? The answer's always here. I also ask myself, what time is it? The answer is always now. And when I just quickly ask myself, what time is it? Where am I? I stop thinking about what I was thinking about. Either in the past, where I'm maybe wanting to relive or do something again, which I can't, or putting my attention and my energy into the future, which I. We're not even there yet. And bringing it right back here to this second, this moment in time. Just asking that question, where am I? At what time is it? That does that for me automatically.
Sean
Wow. Yeah. A lot of people live in the past, in the future, but you're all about the present.
Nate Zelesnik
I think that, you know, if you think about it, the President is all that actually exists. You can't go back in time and you can't go forward in time. I mean, you're going to get there anyway, but only this moment is what's real.
Sean
Yeah, A lot of mental health struggles with that idea of past, present and now. Right.
Nate Zelesnik
And that is one of the things that I am most passionate about is helping people be present. And in the space of mental health, a lot of times people stress themselves out with anxiety and depression, Bipolar disorder. These things are taking people off their center. And it's really my mission for my integrated Ascension Method company is to help people realize their innate true power. Not to force or insinuate belief structures on people. I want people to feel for themselves because belief is a poor substitute for knowledge. So I kind of think of myself in a way like a Sherpa. I'm not going to climb that mountain for you. And I'm going to tell you, okay, well, the mountain is up there. I will help you with some tools that can help you get there. But nobody, nobody gets to ride a helicopter. You have to climb the mountain of your own consciousness to the top of your mountain. But if you don't have any equipment, how are you going to climb the mountain? I like to have people have their most amazing crampons, ice axes, north face gear, great trail map so that they can get there when it's time for them to get there. But I don't believe in doing things for people. It's important that you do this yourself because we didn't come here to be handed everything. But unfortunately, a lot of people think, especially in the mental health space, that I can't do anything about it when absolutely, yes, you can. And there are many options for people to help them get into a better feeling in a more stable place. And a lot of the time those are natural. And I love the fact that I can bring something pretty natural that if it resonates with people and it's a tool for them to climb their mountain, it works out really well for a lot of people.
Sean
Yeah, I'd rather do that than take a pill that was made in a lab. And I think it'd be hard for mental health problems to occur if you were very present.
Nate Zelesnik
It's really hard to be stressed about the future or the past if you're right here right now.
Sean
Right. Because a lot of that when you zoom out is people stressing about the past and future leading to that mindset, right?
Nate Zelesnik
Absolutely. This mind effery that people do, I won't say the real word. You know, when they do that, they f their own mind up by being too stressed out. And a lot of this is a learned behavior. Right. It's circumstantial. We learn it when we're little kids. We see it from our parents. I know that I certainly did. I definitely have a pretty high strung mom. And so I realize when I start to get into some of those habit patterns that, whoa. I recognize where that came from. Oh, okay. So where am I? What time is it? And bring myself back to Right now. And you know, this has been. It continues to be a journey of unfolding for all of us because we're consciousness. We don't know what consciousness exactly is neurologically, but we do know that we have it, obviously because we're here doing this. I work with a lot of neuroscientists now as well, and they understand consciousness is not housed in the body where it is, it's non local, it's seemingly everywhere. So a lot of what we're starting to understand now, from what I read and what I understand myself, is that we're an amazing sensing and broadcasting machine in a way. So we can take in so much information, most of which by at least 10 billion times more than we actually are conscious of. But we also have this opportunity to send our energy out to then create our reality as we would like it in ourselves. Not necessarily creating in the reality of another, but in creating within ourselves. It's so empowering. And I think for mental health, that is something that really helps people when they realize their own intrinsic power, that they are not powerless, they are powerful. Two Ls.
Sean
Yeah, we all got abilities right now. It's just about unlocking them now because our whole lives we've been suppressing them.
Nate Zelesnik
Yeah.
Sean
Without knowing it.
Nate Zelesnik
Without a doubt. Without a doubt. And so when I came across Maruti back in 1998, originally it was to help people who couldn't see to essentially use the Force and detect what was around them. And I saw this, I ordered this course out of Black Belt magazine. I got it. It came with a chintzy little manual that did absolutely nothing, but it had a VHS tape with an Indonesian documentary on there. And it showed martial arts. And I, I'd always been just absolutely enthralled with martial arts. I wanted to be a ninja and a Jedi. So like a ninja, I wanted to be that ever since I was a little kid. Well, on this tape, it showed people who were doing things like, you know, you've probably seen people break a brick or a board, right?
Sean
Yeah.
Nate Zelesnik
I had never seen people breaking stacks of metal, steel bars like this. It was incredible. But then it showed people who were able to do things that you were, I would consider impossible when they were blindfolded. Like running through traffic. Sorry, running through obstacle courses, not running through traffic, hopefully driving cars through traffic. And it even showed military members who were able to shoot targets accurately when they were blindfolded and blind people who could read written material. And I, I actually, I was really skeptical when I saw that. But the next Day, I saw a blind woman almost get killed in front of me. And Sean, I knew right then I had to find those Indonesian people to help her. And I did. It took me a long time, about two weeks to find them. Because you weren't born yet. This is the early days of the Internet, before email, well, we barely had that. There was no Gmail, though. It was AOL days. And I reached out to them and I actually helped sponsor the very first demonstration of this art in the United States at my alma mater, Weber State University, Utah Schools for the deaf and the blind, and at the Indonesian Embassy in Washington, D.C. but they had never trained a non Indonesian person. So I didn't think I was going to learn it. I just wanted to. I just, I felt for the people who couldn't see and I wanted to help them. I was like, problem, solution, let me be connected, connect the connector for that. And that's something that I really, I enjoy doing in my life, is being a super connector for amazing people that they can do so much good together. And if from all the way back then, that was something that I really loved. And I did, I brought them here. But then when they were going to leave, they told me, nate, we talked with the royal heirs and they're going to allow you to be the first ever non Indonesian person to learn this. And I'm like, whoa, wait a minute. I tell you this, you say you want to be a Jedi, and then when you have a Jedi master say, yeah, you're going to actually be able to do it. That's pretty shocking.
Sean
Yeah.
Nate Zelesnik
And I decided I was going to step into this fully. And there just happened to be a former special forces trainer of Marpatiputi, because this is standard training for every branch of their military in Indonesia for the last 50 years. Well, this guy just happened to be an hour away from me in Salt Lake City. I mean, what are the chances that there would be somebody who could teach me? I like to say the odds are one in a billion, but the chances are 100% because it happened. And I started training with him after they left. And a few weeks later, one of my brothers joined me. And together we did some amazing things. We pioneered this art for all of north and South America. A lot of the things that they use now in the system, we help pioneer. And we went to Indonesia numerous times, trained, tested life or death trials where I actually had a near death experience and chose to come back to into my life because I still had a mission to accomplish. And you know, this has been an amazing two and a half decade journey. And now I decided to branch out on my own to bring in things that they just never had in the 16th century. Things like vibroacoustic therapy, pyramid scalar technology, the most amazing brainwave entrainment, binaural beats through scientific sounds, and a man named Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, based out of California, world renowned composer. But to take these different technologies and fuse them and combine them, integrate them with this just next level breath work and meditation. I don't do the martial arts anymore though, Sean. I. I've moved into the completely spiritual and peaceful path.
Sean
Wow.
Nate Zelesnik
I've cooked, I've kicked people in the head and taken them down and broken lots of steel for the past 20 something years. But now I'm only interested in helping people heal. Heal their body first, then their mind, then whatever's beyond that, that's up to them. Because like I said, I'm a Sherpa. I'm not the person to say this is the only top of the mountain that there is. You have to go there and you can only get there through me. I don't take, I don't play that game because I really feel that we're our own guides. We are our own medicine. We're all the infinite, unlimited, eternal being experiencing itself through different lenses. So tell you, when I see parents talking down to their children, yelling at them, I'm like, huh. I wonder if they understand. Maybe that child is actually a much older soul than they are. They're just in this little body that they can't communicate fully yet. Interesting. So the term all is one, that is without exception. If all is one, then that means everything is part of that one. And so there's no better, there's no worse. There only is that which is. And that is amazing to me. That's amazing. And I tell you what, we all bring our own challenges and our own. Are you familiar with Ram Dass?
Sean
Not.
Nate Zelesnik
Okay, so Ram Dass, one of the most famous spiritual teachers of the 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s until today, and former college professor now, one of his most famous quotes is, we're all just kids walking each other home. That is so true. But sometimes we step on each other's laces and push each other in the mud. Sometimes we give each other piggyback rides. Sometimes we walk together as a team and hold hands. We are all kids walking each other home. But that doesn't mean we're all just skipping and singing all the time. We're having experience with people. And I have to say you know, there's a few things that I don't know. Everything. I don't pretend to know everything. I know what I know, and I'm always growing what I know. But there are a few things that I do know that I don't think many people can really argue with. The first thing is, you exist. Second thing is, you're having an experience. Third, it's ongoing. Fourth, you can't shut it off. Fifth. Well, everything changes except for those first four things. Those things are going to be constant no matter what, or they're not going to be constant. They will be present. But change is important because you cannot grow without change. A seed does not sprout, does not ever become a plant or a tree. It stays a seed for us. We move through amazing trials, tribulations, jubilations, and amazing things in our life, but we never stayed the same. But going back to your original thing, that so many people seem stuck. Yes. A lot of people are just almost like zombified, where they're doing the same thing over and over again, repeating that pattern. They're not growing into the plant or the seed that they came actually here to be. And I just love helping people to grow into the seed or the plant or whatever they're going to be as they're supposed to be.
Sean
Right. Everyone's got their own mission, right? Yeah, a lot of people are just. Yeah, like you said, living robotic almost, you know, not. Not in touch with their purpose. It's sad to see that. I see a lot of people living that way when I walk the streets.
Nate Zelesnik
Yeah. Yeah.
Sean
I could just see it on their face, you know?
Nate Zelesnik
Yeah.
Sean
A lot of regret, resentment. I don't want to leave this. This earth with regret or resentment.
Nate Zelesnik
Yeah, for sure. I'm like, I'm in the same boat. And, you know, I don't know about you, but I still have some regrets. I still have some resentments. I'm a human being. And you know what? I make mistakes too. Every. Every monkey falls out of a tree and everybody falls down sometimes. It's, do you climb back up that tree? Do you get back up? Do you keep moving forward even when life kick? It's not life doesn't beat you down. When we make choices that then brings into our existence and into our experience the sensation.
Sean
Absolutely.
Nate Zelesnik
Falling out of the tree you mentioned.
Sean
I'll finish.
Nate Zelesnik
Yeah, no, it's just beautiful to have sets of tools and there are so many where we can climb the tree faster or we can get back up faster and keep going forward and Staying instead of staying stuck. And the first part is waking up.
Sean
Yup. That's the first step, the awareness. Right. A lot of people aren't even in that step, but you need to get there. And for some people it takes a traumatic incident.
Nate Zelesnik
Unfortunately, pain is one of the greatest motivators for change of all time, for sure. And for me, my story actually began spiritually sitting on my dad's den floor with a loaded rifle pointed at my face.
Sean
Whoa.
Nate Zelesnik
So growing up in northern Utah, in a very small town, the son of two Northern California hippies, not being of the Mormon faith, when I went to school, I became highly targeted for bullying. And this is back in the 70s and 80s, so there was no, nothing they have in place right now. It was like boys will be boys. And so the torment happened even sometimes by their parents. Yeah, I had a scout leader's wife tell me I was going to burn in hell because I didn't go to their church. Oh, that's a lot. That's pretty heavy for an eight year old to handle. And so I just couldn't take it anymore. I was done. So I'm sitting there and I'm looking down this barrel of this gun and I just hit me. I can't do this to mom and dad. I can't do this to them. No matter how bad it gets, I'm not going to do that to them. They didn't. It's not their fault. And I put the rifle away so my dad would never know. And that night is when I had my first out of body experience. So it was like my higher self saved me from myself. And from that point on, I became absolutely obsessed with everything that had to do with out of body experiences or psychic phenomenon or anything that I guess you would call woo woo. I wanted to know more about it. So I went and I looked into witchcraft, I went to Wicca and I looked into all the sense that I could possibly find once I was about 16, because in a small country town you're not going to find a lot of books in the local library about that stuff. But my very first purchase as a teenager when I got my own job, I got my own money, was a book called Journeys out of the Body by Robert Monroe. The quintessential work on out of body experiences. Well, I found out that the CIA had trained a lot of operatives to spy on the Soviets with their remote viewing program at the Monroe Institute. And I started really going down this rabbit hole of what is real. Sean. That's really what it boiled down to for me is what is real. Because if I'm leaving my body, I'm having these experiences out there that seems real, but this also seems real. So then it comes up like what is real? And that's still persists to this day. And there are amazing people out there with senses and perceptions and knowledge that I don't have. And I'm so honored that I get to know so many of them and learn from them and also sometimes, many times teach them. Because we're all kids walking each other home, right? And I really like to be that person that gives a piggyback ride or holds hands and let's walk together and learn from one another. Unfortunately not. It's not unfortunately what it is. What it is. A lot of people, even in this amazing day of information where ignorance is really, there's no excuse for the ignorance. We have so much information. It's just a matter of people either being afraid or they've been. They're so apathetic, they don't want to step into that and ask themselves what is real for me. And so for me, I tend to be a pretty. When I train people, especially like my elite one on one clients, like elite athletes, CEOs, I tend to poke the bear because if you placate people then they're just gonna say, oh, wow, he said I was great. I'm like, no, let's see, how else can we become greater? Like if you have, if you go work out, if you just use the bar, you're only going to build so much muscles. You have to start putting some plates on there. Yeah, but it's always in the name of growth. Always the name of growth.
Sean
Goddess. You kind of pick your pick on your clients a little bit. Get that trauma out.
Nate Zelesnik
No, no, no, no. Don't pick on. No, not at all. Ask the proper questions because if you have the right answer, that's smart. Having the right question is genius. The thing is, I don't know anything about you from your perspective. We can look at the same Rembrandt painting and have totally different perceptions of it and I will never know what you actually see. I can ask you though, and you can describe it to me and then I'll get to know you more deeply and how you perceive the world. And I think those are some of the most important things that we can do. So I don't ever pick on a student. Absolutely not. I. That was an interesting, fun part of my life. That 20 year span where I taught kids age 5 to 85, I taught kids of all ages, because we're all really just kids. And the thing is, is that it's always important to lift somebody up, never to tear them down, and always give them the opportunity to become their best self. And that almost always comes through proper questioning from an observation point of, wow, okay. I've been there, too.
Sean
And I think that's just great advice for parenting in general, asking the right questions.
Nate Zelesnik
I think one of the biggest tragedies in our modern society is that children are. Very few children, percentage wise, are raised by their parents. They're raised by the system or raised by screens. And I was so blessed to have a mom and a dad at home. I got to see the divine masculine and the divine feminine in their glory. Granted, my parents, no marriage is perfect. Right? No, humans are perfect. We are, but we're not. We're perfectly imperfect. But I at least got that opportunity to understand what it is to be and act like a man. And also how a man treats his wife treats a woman. That's for me. And maybe I'm old fashioned. Fine. I'm old fashioned.
Sean
Yeah.
Nate Zelesnik
But I do believe in the. I don't believe in the. I say, okay. I don't believe in the golden rule.
Sean
Sean, what's the golden rule?
Nate Zelesnik
Golden rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I prefer the platinum rule, which is doing to others as they would have done unto them.
Sean
Wow. Yeah. Taking a step further, I remember that golden rule. They taught that in school, right? They named it something else when I was in school, but, yeah, similar to that.
Nate Zelesnik
Yeah. So that. But you could only find out what somebody really wants if you ask the right questions. Otherwise you're assuming and. You know that whole adage that you make an ass out of you and me, and when you assume.
Sean
Yeah, yeah.
Nate Zelesnik
I try not to. I've. Believe it or not, I've done that a few thousand times. I don't want to do that anymore.
Sean
Gotta live and you learn, man.
Nate Zelesnik
Yeah.
Sean
You mentioned binaural beats and acoustic therapy earlier. I've been looking into sound healing, and it's. It's fascinating.
Nate Zelesnik
Well, I got. I have so much to hook you up with. So two of my great friends, one of which I think you know. Craig Goldberg.
Sean
Yeah, he's the one who introduced us, right?
Nate Zelesnik
Yeah. Oh, no, that's Daniel Raphael.
Sean
Oh, yeah.
Nate Zelesnik
Another amazing wizard. And so Craig just lives right here. I'll definitely make sure you guys can act because he knows who. I think you've met him before, but he owns the In Harmony International Company, which is fibroacoustic therapy. So these sound lounges that you lay on and you feel the frequencies of. Let's say you want the 528 hertz of love. You lay on this and you feel it through your whole body.
Sean
Oh, yes, I remember him now. I laid on one of those.
Nate Zelesnik
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I did. Right before I came here.
Sean
Oh, yeah.
Nate Zelesnik
I had some nerves, I'll be honest with you.
Sean
Really.
Nate Zelesnik
All right. I'm going to finally get to meet Sean. Right on. It was fantastic.
Sean
I felt so relaxed on it.
Nate Zelesnik
It is, yeah.
Sean
That sound is powerful.
Nate Zelesnik
It is, it is. And so that is one. And then also the binaural beats. So Dr. Jeffrey Thompson with scientific sounds dot com. Oh my God. I mean, like I said the very first thing when I got my own money, I bought these materials from the Monroe Institute, which they are the founders of the hemisync technology. So binaural beats you can just find all over YouTube now. But these are the people that really pioneered it.
Sean
Right.
Nate Zelesnik
And I would say Dr. Thompson's work is about 50 light years beyond anything else.
Sean
Whoa.
Nate Zelesnik
Because I've been using these things pretty religiously for about 34 years a lot.
Sean
That is fascinating.
Nate Zelesnik
His work is so next level. And so people, you know, when they go, they can see on my products, my affiliate products page, I'd recommend anybody if you're a meditator or if you want to learn how meditation could be so difficult for a lot of people. Sean, if you just say to somebody, okay, close your eyes and don't think of anything. Good luck with that.
Sean
Yeah.
Nate Zelesnik
Your mind goes every single which way. But there are certain different brainwave states that have been shown to lead to different sensations. Stress relief, the balancing of the autonomic nervous system and going from stress like the fight or flight. But if we go to all the way to rest and digest, those are two really energy intensive processes too. So then you're using a lot. I mean, when you're building your muscles back or building back from an injury, you're recovering from an illness, that's an incredibly energy intensive. When you're digesting, from what I've read, that's the second most energy intensive process in the body.
Sean
Really.
Nate Zelesnik
So if you swing all the way over there, you're using a bunch of energy too. Why not find that homeostasis point right in the middle? That's what Dr. Thompson is able to do. And he's the only one in the world that can do it that way.
Sean
Damn. I'm going to check it out. I'm really excited. I like binaural beats too, because there's so many different uses for them.
Nate Zelesnik
His, I've never. It's. It's unreal. So the thing is that, you know, there are so many different technologies like that. The fiber, acoustic therapy, Aria organic food. So Aria organic, every single food product is infused with the 528Hz of love. No other company in the world's doing that. So Aria is insane. So when you eat amazing food that resonates with this vibration you can't get away from vibration, information and frequency. You're just going to have it no matter what. It's there, whether you believe it or not. I mean, it's. It is what it is. So when we eat, let's say you're eating love. Well, that's pretty amazing, what you drink. I notice you're drinking Mountain Valley water. You're drinking it out of glass. So you're not getting the plastic. This plastic that is now being found in the tissues of people's brains, their testicles, every muscle in the body because they're drinking all this nanoplastic from Evian and these different places. Good, good call. I'm going for the glass. It's. What we put in is going to be directly related to what we can actually broadcast in the world. And, you know, you can develop all these superpowers. That's wonderful. But does any of it matter if you're sick or dead? No. So that's my mission, Sean, is to help people become healthy. We have such a terrible amount of chronic disease in this country. Over 60% from what I've been hearing lately. And heart disease is number one. Number two killer in this country is atriogenic death. If you look it up, atriogenic means medical. It sounds really broad, doctors, prescriptions. Number two, cause of death. It's our healthcare system. I mean, as I see on Google. And so that's the thing is a lot of people, they look to the people in the white coat, they believe the diagnosis, they believe the prognosis that you. You've got terminal cancer. And I know numerous people that had stage four or stage three cancers. And in a week or two, miraculously, the cancer was gone because they were meditating and doing certain things where they changed their physical structure using their mind and using the quantum field and all kinds of interactions that probably too broad for this podcast, but for, for what we're talking about. That said, so many people out there also, and I, I actually have a good friend who was paralyzed from the waist down. They said, you'll never walk again. And he's able to jog.
Sean
Wow.
Nate Zelesnik
They told him, you can't do this. And he said, watch me. And it was very. Have you ever seen Kill Bill?
Sean
No. Okay, I heard of it, but so.
Nate Zelesnik
In there, Uma Thurman, the main actor in there, she's in a coma. She gets out of the coma, she can't move her legs, and she's in the back of this vehicle going, move your big toe. She gets to move a little bit, and then that's progress. We're getting started. My friend did that. He was paralyzed and he was like, moved your big toe. And he got it to work. And so now. So who's to say these things aren't possible when there are so many obvious examples that they are possible now? Is it possible for everyone? I would say probably no. And I'll tell you why. I heard this on a documentary a long time ago about death and dying. So this person, they were talking about their son, and their son had a fatal disease and had done so much meditation and so many faith healers came in and he passed away, but he was at peace. And what she said was, healing does not always mean curing. Healing does not always mean curing. A lot of our healing has to do with in here, not necessarily here, because we're all going to have the same end, if you think about it, a box or an urn, there's nobody getting out of this alive. But how are we going to live our life? How are we going to have a fun span, have a health span? How are we going to love as deeply as we possibly can, create the contribution we really want to contribute to the world? If we're hurting and basically killing ourselves with our own thoughts and the poisonous food and water and air and other frequencies that are bombarding us at all times, how do we then become our optimal self? That's a. That's a really important question for us to answer because whether we were, you know, created by the Anunnaki, this is wonderful. It's good to know. But we're here having this human experience now. What can we do now for ourselves, for our family, for our community to be super powered, if you will, not like a Marvel Avenger? I like. I like Batman. Batman's human, but he does so much more to help his community. Even though he's human, he doesn't have to have the special powers. Granted, he has a bunch of cool tech, which is awesome, but he's just got this Real huge heart. And even if he doesn't act like it, he needs to be Batman. But he wants to take care of the people around him. He wants to do the right thing. He wants to be that shining light, even if he doesn't have superpowers. And the cool thing is that we as humans, we have the ability to develop some, but we always have that opportunity to do the right thing and do the best things for ourselves, for our body, for our energy, and for our family.
Sean
Absolutely.
Nate Zelesnik
I love to help people as they go upon that journey. And I tell you what, I'll tell you a quick story about a friend of mine that one of the most famous big wave writers in the world is a dear friend of mine. And I met him in Costa Rica a couple years ago, 11 months after he woke up from a coma he was in. He had Covid so bad that he was on a ventilator for 70 days.
Sean
Whoa.
Nate Zelesnik
World record for being on a ventilator the longest and recovering. He was in a coma for the last 30 of those days. And he woke up paralyzed from the neck down. And he had to learn how to walk, move his hands, breathe again. He went home with a ventilator.
Sean
Wow.
Nate Zelesnik
So I met him 11 months after he got out of the hospital. And I taught him what I taught you just now. And it took five minutes, and he was starting to get teary eyed, and I went, I was like, drew, what happened to you? And he said, nate, this is the best I've been able to breathe since I got sick. And the next day, I went down to the beach with he and his wife. She taught me how to surf. And Drew, my friend Drew, he got to go out and surf for the first time since before he got Covid. Since he got Covid.
Sean
Beautiful.
Nate Zelesnik
It's those kinds of turnarounds, Sean, that why I do what I do. You're your own medicine. All you need is the right north face gear to climb your mountain. So if I can help people with that, it's a life well lived for me.
Sean
Right? Yeah. That's a massive mindset shift right there. That your body can heal itself, not pills and supplements. Right. Because a lot of people want to have a quick fix and just take a pill.
Nate Zelesnik
Our body wants to be in homeostasis. It really, I really, truly believe that our body wants to be healthy when given the right environment. That's why, you know, if people go to Europe and they eat pasta and carbs and bread that doesn't have glyphosate, doesn't have GMOs, they lose weight, they come back over here, it's like one Oreo £10 on. Because we're constantly being poisoned in this country. And so we're in a way, fighting a very difficult uphill battle where our food has 10,000 chemicals that we don't even know what a lot of them do to us put into our food labeled even as healthy. And now, from what I just heard a couple days ago, that the amount of money that we spend on chronic disease and sick care is greater than our GDP holding crap that is not sustainable. That's going to kill our entire society. We can't. I mean, how can it be? How can it be any other way but the thing. It doesn't have to be. So when we start to look at how can we eat healthier foods, how can we put better fuel in our body, how can we put better fuel in our mind and in our heart? How can we have a better outlook on life? I just posted something today on Facebook about being happy on purpose. You don't need a reason. You got up. You got up. 150,000 people didn't get up today. They're dead. And you got to go winning. Every time you do that, it's winning. And for me, I've just been so blessed that coming into this life, having the parents that I did, having the family that I have, having the bullying that happened is a blessing as well. All of it is. Life's about contrast. It's not all about roses and puppy dogs all the time. It's about contrast. And I tell you what, I don't know about you, but I've sure had a lot of contrast in my life. And it keeps getting better. And the more present I am and the more present other people are, the more they look and they actually see and feel the lesson behind the circumstances and how we all create all of these ourselves. It's this radical responsibility that I am the creator and designer of every single thing that has ever happened to me in my life. From a flat tire to doing the right thing or doing the wrong thing to making a good of what it was a pleasant choice. What was making a. Was a hard choice or one that led to a negative. What would we call a negative outcome? It's all me. And when you do that and you say, yep, I'm responsible for everything that's ever happened, a huge weight gets lifted off your shoulders. And of course, sometimes I go unconscious, too, and start blaming and pointing fingers. I'm like, where am I? What time Is it okay right here, right now, okay again. And coming. Coming back because we're just amazing, amazing creatures, conscious beings. I mean, there's no way to really say this other than we're all miracles walking around. We really are.
Sean
Yeah. The powers we have is. Is incredible.
Nate Zelesnik
Yeah. Yeah. I tell you what, here in Vegas is one of my favorite things to do. Fremont street, good old Strip. Good old. It's an interesting place. So a while back I was here and I rode the Deuce bus up and down the Strip. Just people watching in innocence. Kind of me, Paul watching. Because we're all the same. We're all kids walking each other home. And one minute I'm sitting there having sit down, talking with the vice president of the Circa Hotel, talking about venue for an event, holding an event here in Vegas. And 10 minutes later I'm sitting next to a homeless gentleman and where I'm learning about his life story. And when you start to see every single person as part of the infinite, unlimited, eternal beingness that is all things, it's really more difficult to judge other people based upon anything about them. When you just realize you're just your energy, your consciousness walking around that has a body to experience the isness of what is through a different lens. That's an important thing that if I could help all people understand that even for just a moment, what that might do for the world if they actually saw when it was said in the Bible, treat thy neighbor as thyself. I like to think of that as, don't treat them like you want to be treated. Treat them as if they are you, as another part of you having a different experience. But you are them. There's no difference between you. You are actually them. They are actually you. If you look at it that way, it's amazing.
Sean
Love it. Yeah. We're all connected, right? That could have been us in a past life. Who knows?
Nate Zelesnik
Yeah, absolutely. It's. It's beyond my pay grade to. To categorize such things. I'm just enjoying. Hashtag winning when I get up and take another breath.
Sean
Love it, man. Yeah. Fremont street, you never know what you'll see there. I try to make my way over there at least once a year. Yeah, I'm a big people watcher too.
Nate Zelesnik
Yeah.
Sean
Yeah. And I try to do it without judgment because I used to judge people growing up. I think it was easy to have that mindset.
Nate Zelesnik
Sure, we all do.
Sean
Yeah. But now I'm like more fascinated and interested and curious. I think that's a cool mindset shift.
Nate Zelesnik
That made that, Sean, I have to say, that's one of the. Probably one of the most important shifts that I've made too, is curiosity. Instead of saying, that person is, Huh, I wonder what that experience that person is having of this is. Because like I said, having the right answer is smart, but having the right question is genius. And if you just ask questions all the time, you've got. We have this amazing supercomputer here that wants to answer questions. It is. It wants to answer questions. Is that thing poisonous? Can I eat that? Is that thing going to strike me or kill me? Is. Is it going to eat me? Can I eat it? I mean, just as a survival mechanism, right? Our brain wants to answer questions based upon what INP it has. Well, but when we start to ask these bigger questions, hmm, who am I? Why am I here? Where did I come from? What am I supposed to be doing here? Where am I going after this? And we just sit in the silence and the stillness of our breath. Those binaural beats are super helpful for anybody that wants to actually get to that place faster without decades of work and just ask the question, how can I be my best self today? You can't do anything about yesterday. Tomorrow's not here. So how can I do my best today? And so when people step into my world, we ask those questions all the time. Because I don't know if you've ever had an attitude shift midday, you woke up feeling good, into that day feeling crappy. We all have. As long as we keep asking, how can I do my very best right now? Well, then we just keep doing our best. No matter how that is from the outside or inside, we're doing our best.
Sean
Absolutely. Nate, where can people find you and get advice from you and learn from you?
Nate Zelesnik
You know, I have four different programs. First one, I love to work with people one on one. This is elite level coaching, high level for athletes, athletic teams, CEOs, executives, things like that. That's one way. But I also love to work with people online, so I have a masterclass and online training so people can actually learn from me directly. And this system is so broad, there's really no end to how much we can learn together. The third thing is in person events. So I've got one coming up in LA in late January. One coming up in. Ooh, this is going to be fun. April is going to be Costa Rica. Wow, seven days. And it's going to be the most powerful one I've ever run in 25 years for sure. And then I'll be in Sedona in May too. So you come do some UFO watching with me and some friends. Oh, I love it. And so people can go to my website, which is I am pure energy. So I. I wanted to get the most powerful website I could. There's also ring of truth. So I am pure do energy. It's about as strong as I could come off with.
Sean
I love it.
Nate Zelesnik
And people go there. And if. If you go there, when you go there, by all means. I've got a special gift for you. You'll have to go and find out what that is, but I'm honored to be here, Sean. Thank you so much for having me and for everybody out there. I hope that you create a great now. Not just a great day, a great now on purpose.
Sean
Because right now is all there is right now, baby. We'll link the site below. Thanks for coming on. Thanks for teaching me the techniques as well. Thanks for watching, guys. Check out the links below. See you next time.
Podcast Summary: Digital Social Hour | Episode: The $1B Secret to Mental Clarity Entrepreneurs Miss | Nate Zeleznick DSH #1021
Host: Sean Kelly
Guest: Nate Zeleznick
Release Date: December 27, 2024
In this enlightening episode of the Digital Social Hour, host Sean Kelly welcomes Nate Zeleznick, a pioneer in the field of mental clarity and personal development. Nate shares his extensive background, including his unique journey from mastering ancient martial arts to developing innovative healing techniques aimed at enhancing mental and physical well-being.
Nate opens the conversation by addressing a critical issue in modern society: the lack of genuine presence in individuals' lives.
Nate Zeleznick [01:01]: "Probably one of the most numbed out times in our history that I'm aware of. So many people are about 95% of the time after about the age of 30. The average human being is just simply running a series of pre-programmed automatic functions that only about 5% of our life are we truly present and aware with our life."
He emphasizes that most people operate on autopilot, with minimal awareness of their present moments, leading to heightened stress and diminished mental clarity.
Sean and Nate delve into the Merpati Puti system, an ancient Javanese practice designed to enhance energy awareness and presence.
Nate Zeleznick [01:50]: "The goal of that particular exercise is to help magnetize the body so that we start to feel more energy throughout our body. But then also how can we feel our energy outside?"
Nate explains how this system facilitates both internal energy flow and the ability to project and detect energy in one's environment, fostering a deeper connection with oneself and the surrounding world.
Challenging the conventional understanding of human senses, Nate introduces the idea that humans possess far more than the five traditional senses.
Nate Zeleznick [02:35]: "The ancient Egyptians said that we have 360 senses."
This revelation prompts a discussion on consciousness, suggesting that humans have vast, untapped sensory and perceptual capabilities that go beyond physical senses, aligning with contemporary scientific explorations of consciousness.
Nate passionately discusses the intersection of mindfulness and mental health, highlighting how increased presence can alleviate conditions like anxiety and depression.
Nate Zeleznick [04:27]: "Nothing's real except the present. Meditating on the here and now can significantly reduce stress and improve mental well-being."
He advocates for shifting focus to the present moment as a powerful tool for mental stability and emotional resilience, arguing that this practice can mitigate the detrimental effects of dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.
Transitioning from his martial arts background, Nate narrates his transformation into a healer dedicated to guiding others toward personal growth.
Nate Zeleznick [11:21]: "When you have a Jedi master say, yeah, you're going to actually be able to do it. That's pretty shocking."
His journey is marked by pivotal experiences, including near-death moments and the realization of his mission to empower others through healing and consciousness expansion.
Nate introduces cutting-edge healing modalities that integrate ancient practices with modern technology, such as binaural beats and vibroacoustic therapy.
Nate Zeleznick [24:47]: "Dr. Jeffrey Thompson's work with scientific sounds is about 50 light years beyond anything else."
He explains how these technologies facilitate deeper states of meditation, stress relief, and overall mental and physical health by harnessing specific frequencies to balance the autonomic nervous system.
Nate shares poignant personal anecdotes illustrating the transformative power of his methods. He recounts overcoming severe bullying and a life-threatening situation that led to his first out-of-body experience.
Nate Zeleznick [18:06]: "That night is when I had my first out-of-body experience. It was like my higher self saved me from myself."
These stories underscore his belief in intrinsic self-healing capabilities and the importance of providing individuals with the tools to navigate their personal challenges.
A central theme of the discussion revolves around personal responsibility and the belief that individuals are the architects of their own realities.
Nate Zeleznick [38:15]: "It's all me. And when you do that and you say, yep, I'm responsible for everything that's ever happened, a huge weight gets lifted off your shoulders."
He advocates for a mindset that embraces radical responsibility, encouraging listeners to acknowledge their role in shaping their experiences and fostering continuous personal development.
In wrapping up, Nate emphasizes the importance of self-empowerment through knowledge and the implementation of effective tools for mental and physical health.
Nate Zeleznick [43:36]: "I hope that you create a great now. Not just a great day, a great now on purpose."
He invites listeners to explore his programs, attend his events, and engage with his content to embark on their own transformative journeys toward enhanced mental clarity and overall well-being.
Nate Zeleznick [01:01]: "95% of the time after about the age of 30, the average human being is just simply running a series of pre-programmed automatic functions."
Nate Zeleznick [02:35]: "The ancient Egyptians said that we have 360 senses."
