IE171 John Assaraf: Master Your Mind: The Ultimate Guide to Achieving Anything with Neuroplasticity

Ep. 171
•

In this week’s episode, Amrit interviews John Assaraf, leading mindset and behaviour expert, lecturer, well-known entrepreneur, best selling author, brain researcher, philanthropist, teacher, tv actor and the founder and CEO of NeuroGym.


John’s latest bestselling book “Innercise: The New Science to Unlock Your Brain’s Hidden Power” helps you recognize and release the mental and emotional blocks that prevent you from achieving your life’s biggest goals and dreams.


If you would like to have mental and emotional techniques to strengthen your mindset and unleash the hidden power of your brain, you can get a copy Innercise here: https://inspiredevolution.com/recommends/john-assaraf/


Amrit and John dive deep into how thoughts lead to behaviour that generates results,   and John’s neural reconditioning process and “innercises” you can start doing TODAY to change your habitual subconscious patterns and disempowering emotions that are holding you back from thriving personally, professionally and financially.


When John Assaraf built his first real estate company at the age of twenty six, something was holding his agents back. Although they were making fortunes in sales, something was preventing them from making more. Despite training and upgrading their knowledge, they kept stuck. 


John discovered that once they became conditioned to earning a certain amount, they were repeating the same pattern over and over again keeping them stuck in their comfort zone. 


Through research John found out we become conditioned to certain ways and then repeat the patterns, as part of our brains' way to conserve energy and keep us in our comfort zone. 


He needed to uncover what would break his agents free from this conditioning. And that was what a mentor did with him in his early twenties. 


This coach not only helped him upgrade his knowledge and skills but trained his brain to develop the necessary beliefs to achieve his goals. He worked on upgrading his self inner, self worth and self esteem, and on how to manage his emotions of doubt, fear and uncertainty. They did “innercises” to upgrade his capacity as he upgraded his skills. 


So, John took 75 agents from the 1200, and coached them everyday for six months to upgrade their mindset to match the skill set. Over six months they increased in sales by one hundred million dollars more than they normally did. 


John proved that if you work on the inner game, you can affect the outer game. 


The lack of knowledge or skill doesn’t hold you back from reaching your fullest potential. It is your mindset, emotional blocks, and deeply ingrained habits that you must get rid of to clear the path towards victory and living the life of your dreams.


Limiting beliefs, traumas and excuses are reinforced subconscious patterns that cause you to think, feel, and consistently behave in ways that produce the same results again and again. 


And there are several ways to disrupt patterns and create better ones. 


In this chapter John shares a couple of innercises to strengthen your mind when you are in a state of procrastination, doubt, anxiety or stress. The first one is a powerful breathing exercise and the second one is called A.I.A, used to reprogram your operating system through awareness, intention, and action, one simple and small action.


These two innercises help you take control over your brain. Being aware of the pattern, interrupting it, and choosing what you want versus what you don't, will make you evolve. Then, if you do that over a long period of time, you will have a new dominant pattern and your old one will start to disappear. 


“What is the minimum that you can commit to doing that you will stick to for one hundred days?”


“You can't master complexity without mastering simplicity first”


“Our biggest growth comes out of a point of resistance and pushing past that until we have created a new pattern”

  • 572. #572 Betty Guadagno: Overcoming Generational Trauma, Addiction Recovery, and Spiritual Awakening

    01:55:57||Ep. 572
    🎬 IN THIS EPISODEBetty Guadagno details her harrowing yet hopeful journey from the depths of generational trauma to spiritual awakening. Born into a legacy of addiction and abuse, she reached a devastating nadir at age 23 when she discovered her parents had committed a joint suicide to end their own drug-fueled suffering. This tragedy propelled Betty into a further decade of homelessness, prostitution, and severe substance abuse. However, a near-death experience (NDE) in 2019 served as a catalyst for a total life transformation.During this experience, she saw reality as a "simulation," underwent a visceral life review, and felt the weight of the harm she had inflicted on others. Emerging with a sense of divine grace, she experienced a spontaneous physical healing that allowed her to walk away from heroin for good. Now a spiritual guide and retreat leader, Betty emphasizes that true recovery comes from the slow discipline of self-love and the "inner warrior" required to face uncomfortable truths. Her story is a powerful testament to the possibility of reclaiming one’s soul from even the darkest circumstances.🎬 EPISODE CHAPTERS:00:00 The Cycle of Generational Trauma02:43 The Legacy of the OxyContin Epidemic07:36 Finding My Parents: The Cryptic Inheritance14:07 Survival on the Streets: Addiction & Prostitution19:07 The Matrix Glitch: Seeing the Code21:38 Beyond the Cave: The Near-Death Experience28:18 Facing the Truth: A Visceral Life Review41:28 Soul Contracts and The Great Awakening01:10:25 Slow Integration vs. Microwave Spirituality 01:11:10 Pre-Birth Planning and Free Will 01:23:40 Spontaneous Healing and Spiritual Psychosis 01:26:10 The Divine Encounter on a New York Subway 01:28:19 Deep Surrender: Reclaiming Self-Worth 01:43:04 Dissecting the Shadow: The Power of Parts Work 01:58:06 Calling on the Inner Warrior👀 FIND HEATHER ONLINE✦ Website: https://buddhabetty.com ✦ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/buddha.betty/ ✦ Facebook: https://facebook.com/bettyguadagno ✦ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@buddhabetty ✦ Email: mailto:betty.guadagno@gmail.com ✦ Work With Me: https://calendly.com/buddhabetty

    01:30:25||Ep. 571
    🎬 IN THIS EPISODEHeather Ensworth explores a rare turning point in human history, arguing that the years 2025–2032 mark a profound window for healing, awakening, and an evolutionary leap in consciousness. Drawing on astrology, ancient civilizations, the Yuga cycle, the Hopi prophecy, Sedna, the Galactic Center, and depth psychology, she reframes this chaotic era not as doom, but as revelation: a time when old systems, trauma patterns, and “power over” paradigms are being exposed so humanity can finally heal them. Ensworth says the transition into Aquarius is less about revolution for its own sake and more about wholeness, truth, collaboration, community, and remembering our deeper connection to Earth, cosmos, and each other. The central message is clear: if we release fear, heal inherited trauma, and stop clinging to the past, we can move into higher consciousness and co-create a new world.🎬 EPISODE CHAPTERS:00:00 2025–2032: The Great Awakening Window05:39 Leo, the Sphinx, and Lost Civilizations10:43 From Sacred Feminine to Duality15:52 Aries and the Rise of Power Over19:56 Why the Real Work Is Healing24:49 Pisces, Fear of Death, and the True Mars Journey32:25 Aquarius, Pluto, and the Return to Balance42:40 Hopi Prophecy and Homo Luminous48:40 How to Heal in Accelerated Times53:10 Ceremony and the Wisdom of the Elements01:02:30 Sedna and the Art of Letting Go01:08:13 Courage, Presence, and a Life Pivot01:19:26 Aquarius Community and Apocalypse Reframed01:26:37 Galactic Center, Scorpio, and Orion’s Stargate👀 FIND HEATHER ONLINE✦ Websites: https://risingmoonhealingcenter.com/https://transformingtraumatofreedom.com✦ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HeatherEnsworth

  • 570. #570 Neale Donald Walsch: 21 Messages on the Storm Before the Calm, Death, and Being the Source

    01:03:51||Ep. 570
    🎬 IN THIS EPISODENeale Donald Walsch distills the 21 most life-changing messages from his 3,000-page Conversations with God dialogue into his book Letters to a Young Seeker. He explains that humanity is currently navigating "The Storm Before the Calm," a period of intense global alienation and turbulence that serves as a necessary catalyst for human evolution. Walsch redefines death not as an end to existence, but as a "change of address" where the soul returns to the spiritual realm to rest before potentially choosing to reincarnate. Central to his teaching is the Law of Opposites: we use the "darkness" of the world to experience our true nature as "the light". He challenges the illusion of separation, describing individuals as "fingers on the hands of God"—individuated but never separate from the Divine. Ultimately, he invites a profound shift in perspective: stop being a seeker and become the source. By providing for others the very joy, peace, or companionship we desire, we realize we already possess it, as what flows through us sticks to us. By embracing our identity as "individuated divinity," we can transform the current global storm into a new era of unity.🎬 EPISODE CHAPTERS:00:00 The Inspiration Behind "Letters to a Young Seeker" 04:52 The Storm Before the Calm: Why the World is in Chaos11:18 The 21 Most Critical Messages for Our Evolution17:45 The Law of Opposites: Finding the Light in Darkness24:10 The Great Illusion: Why Separation is a Lie30:55 We Are Fingers on the Hand of God 37:22 Stop Looking for a "Person" God: God is Life Itself43:10 Death is Not the End: The Soul's Change of Address49:15 The Ultimate Shift: Stop Seeking and Become the Source54:30 The Law of Flow: What You Give, You Realize You Have 01:00:05 Healing the Alienation: Coming Back to Unity 01:05:24 Final Wisdom: Sharing the Light with the Next Generation👀 FIND NEALE ONLINE✦ Website: http://www.nealedonaldwalsch.com/ ✦ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NealeDonaldWalsch ✦ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/nealedonaldwalsch👉 Letters to a Young Seeker by Neale Donald Walsch offers 21 timeless insights on peace, purpose, and conscious living—each paired with poetic reflections by Em Claire.Explore the book here: https://a.co/d/02keGimr
