Oh, no, I don't actually do this. Where else? I don't like that. I got stuck on the last page. Oh, well. My internet, I tell you, it has just been giving so many issues lately. I'm hanging in on what have you. Well, good evening, good morning, good afternoon, good beautiful day. Wherever in the world you are, it's evening. Yeah, as you can see. And it's wellness Wednesday with my beautiful guest, as always, Bryce Watson from Exoteric Atlanta. No, Esoteric Atlanta, I'm just kidding. So I'm so happy to have you. You've been away. Gallivanting as well. So firstly, where did you go? What did you do? Was it fun? Yes, I was down in Florida, family down there. So small little, I love Florida so much. It's just, I never thought here in the United States, Florida was always that state we made fun of, but it ended up being like the MVP of the United States, because thank you to Santas, because they basically have given the middle finger to Mr. B. And it's just nice. And it's nice to be just being in the sunshine and just being around the saltwater and just being able to hear the ocean. There's just such healing there. And just the calmness of the way it's a small town. So it's a very calm atmosphere. And people are kind of on beach time all the time. And so if the fruits and vegetables are grown on the property, and so you get fresh avocados and bananas, and it's my dog always in heaven, because that's more like India. And he's from India, so he's always trying to catch the lizards. But I'm happy to be back as well, back to filming again. Welcome back. And I am certainly happy to have you back, because we did miss you a lot. So today we have you with hand chakras. And I'm super excited, because I know a little bit about hand chakras, but not too much. So tonight, I am most definitely your student as well regarding this. And I'm very excited to hear about it, so. Well, speaking of the chakras, so the hand chakra actually guys connects to the heart chakra. They're like an extension. And I actually say this to my students a lot. I know we're going to talk about feet eventually as well. But when we're looking, when we think about the chakra system, we often think about the seven that we review, the seven chakras that are in the actual torso up into the head, this area. But the body actually holds 140 chakras, 140.  The control station of everything really happens in this vicinity, the whole head and torso.   So if we think about that aspect of these being their own energy cycles, but they're also power gritting from the main system, things get really, really interesting. And the fact that it's connected to Anahata makes more sense to me about how valuable the hands are. Now the color for Anahata is not the same color as the hand chakras. Like green is here. The hand chakras are rose quartz color, like a light pink color. That would be their color. So when we're looking at our hands, what we do with our hands often times signifies how we're feeling in the world, right? We pray with our hands. We cook with our hands. We also punch with our hands, slap with our hands, write with our hands, paint with our hands. And so every action we take with our hands is just an offshoot of what's happening here in the heart center, which makes sense because you also have chakras in your shoulders and your elbows. And if we're closing down, we're going to pull these together versus opening them back up. And it makes sense as well because if you look at the heart, it's kind of like your arms and your hands are in extension. So you either push away or you embrace, right? The hugging, yes. Yes, exactly. So you either bring it towards you close to the heart because when you hug, you're bringing something to the heart. So you're drawing it to this area. And if you're pushing it away, you're rejecting it. You don't want it, which is interesting.  That's an extension of caring for someone, which is coming from this heart center. And it's interesting when we go over chanting in my classes, I always explain when you chant, you don't smush your hands together. You keep them slightly open. And that's because the energy, the actual chakra is right in the middle of the palm. And so when you're chanting or praying and you've got that openness, you're allowing the energy to start to swirl and move through and, of course, move into the heart center. And so when I started to really look deeper into the handles, I was like, oh my gosh, that makes so much, so much sense, right? So now, again, just so you guys remember, chakras are energy centers that transform ethereal energy into physical energy. Just to remind you guys, I just want to put that disclaimer out that your chakra system, at least not now in our 3D world, maybe when we get to 40, but don't go to your doctor and be like, I think my Anahata is broken. They won't know what you're talking about. This is all energetic body. It's not going to show up in MRI, guys. If you go to an Ayurvedic doctor, he would absolutely, or she would absolutely know what you're speaking about. But the Western doctor will be like, what? I think Anahata is smashed. I need a pill for this. No, you don't need a pill for this. But they would wrap you in a suit and send you to the St. Asylum, because this is all energetic body. Maybe in our new world, when we have a more evolved system, we'll be able to see these actual energy points. But right now, not going to happen. All right, so now again, hands, as we said, they're giving or receiving loves. Now there are two balls, as we talked about this with the other chakras as well.  It also, there's an energy field that also, it's almost like when you put a pair of blue jeans on that are way too tight and you got that muffin top that hangs out over those blue jeans, that's what your spirit is doing with your body. Cause your spirit is actually bigger than your physical body, right? So you basically, everybody's got muffin top, basically. No, that is just awful. Everybody knows what I'm talking about though. You've all, listen, especially females, we all have laid on the sofa. The muffin top.  So your body is making them muffin top, right? It's hanging out past your physical. But that is when we talk about the quantum. We talk about the entanglement, like that's how you are connected. Like Shanti and I are in two different countries, miles apart, but I guarantee you, our souls are connected through any, any quantum. And that's how you have like that telepathy with people. You know, when the phone rings and you know who it is, you're thinking of someone and they call. It's like that's that outside of your body connection, what's an entanglement that you have with somebody else? So it's... Yeah, and it's really about being open also, right? Internally and you know, in that way. So it's your ESP is active, your intuition is active, you're meeting people on the same level who've got their intuition and their ESP active. So that's how we, and that's how we connect with each other sort of unexpectedly in an unexplained way. And it just happened in this way. And it's like, it fell into place. That's what happens when we obviously, yeah, open in that way and connecting with each other. It's actually quite beautiful. Yeah. It is beautiful. And you realize you're so much bigger. And that's with the hands. So if you think about the chakra center being in the center of the hand, there's actually two little balls of energy that live on the outside and the inside of the hand. And the symbol of the Visicapices, which is that kind of that eternal looping like that's also described with the divine feminine also comes through the hand center. We think about whether or not Jesus Christ was crucified or not, where do they put the nail? Wow, interesting. The hands, right? That connects to the heart, right? So now the right side of your hand is energetically seen as the giving side where the left side is seen as the receiving side. Now that doesn't mean they can't switch energy, but traditionally just like right side is masculine and left side is feminine. Traditionally they have their roles to play with giving and receiving energy, right? And that's why some people who know how to do Reiki or know how to self heal can't actually take their own hands and start to give and receive with themselves as well when they start to understand the way the energy functions through the body. Now for, they also talk about, and I kind of see this with, even though third chakra, I think it's more like with a solar plexus R that's the helio that's kind of the sun of the body. Anyway, I think all chakras kind of have this little essence of sun. Well, the hand does as well. They're seen as a big, big orb of sun right in the middle of the hand. Now something I've done in different workshops before too that people can do just very basic to start to understand the power of your hands is you sit and you've probably done this before Shaunty and you hold your hands together. Absolutely. Yeah, and you just, and you focus on that energy and it's not just lazily, if you have to actively hold it there and you'll start to feel, actually feel energy. Yeah. Here we go. Yeah. You can do it on, if you have a friend in your life that will let you kind of mess with their energy field in a positive way, don't do anything nefarious. You can actually do it to a friend, put one hand on one side of their heart and one side on the back not necessarily touching the skin but see if they have them close their eyes and see if they can actually start to feel that penetration of energy. You will start to feel it too and then you can trade spaces. So that's a kind of a, these are fun little exercises you can play with to start to figure out your own energy. We see it in the movies and the comic books a lot where they throw light out of their hand or throw a ball of light, like that's real. That's real. You know, I have the propensity to want to like do this a lot and part of me thinks in a past life I was able to like light out because I keep wanting to do that. And I'm like, nothing's coming out. Nothing's coming out, but um. We haven't reclaimed our toys back yet. That is exactly how hard it works with these toys of mine. And I haven't reclaimed it yet. I think that's when I think I definitely came back down because I feel like I can't, like I feel like that can happen and it's just not yet. So we just got to work with those light bodies to like reactivate again in order to have that power, that special power. Well, there's ways you can do. Well, first of all, let's talk about like signs that your hand chakra is blocked. Sometimes a lack of creativity. So if you're feeling like you have a lack of creativity, that means that there's a blockage here, which again could connect back to the heart center, but there also could be, you know, like when you have a hose, a water hose and part of it's bent, the water won't go through it. Sometimes we can kind of start to unravel that and start with the hands. You can have a disbelief and your own power to heal yourself. Whoa, like how many people in our timeline right now don't think they can heal themselves, therefore they run off to the doctor. Well, hello, hello, zip, zap, zapity do. Isn't this just the most telling times for that, right? Right, so there you go. And I shared something on Twitter of this woman talking about how much she distrusts now all these institutions. And I shared, I said, girl, same. I said, if I break my leg, I'm just gonna sprinkle glitter on it and wish for the best because I'm not going back to any of these institutions. Like I'm gonna, I'm gonna work without myself. You can also experience swollen joints. That's a sign of a blocked hand chakra if you experienced swollen joints arthritis. That's something I've struggled with in the past. I haven't, nothing would. Haven't had any flare ups since lockdown. So that tells you something. And also tennis elbow. So that is, my mother used to struggle with that. If you have, they call it's tendonitis in the elbow. They call it tennis elbow. That's big. That's a big one. So if you're struggling with tennis elbow, don't go running to the doctor. Well, my advice is not to go running to the doctor for steroids or whatever. Let's work on the hand chakras because something is blocked. And- For the heart chakra, right? For the heart chakra. Because the source of the hand chakras are literally the heart. So what are you, where are your feelings and your emotions blocked up? Where are you not following your heart? Where are you in denial of your own power? What are you doing that you don't wanna be doing? What are you drawing into yourself that you should be saying no to? What are you saying no to that you should be drawing into yourself? Yeah. These are the questions, yes, that how you start healing that. And isn't it interesting because a lot, there's a lot of therapies out there that deal with like art therapy, stuff involved drawing. Drawing into Las is a big one. And isn't that interesting, you're using the work of the hands in order to heal. So they work together, right? They work out, they shoot out together. To heal the heart, exactly. And it's sorry to interrupt your breath, but it's just makes so much sense because when we're looking at kids, for example, doing art therapy after traumas, or just trying to understand a child, the way they're communicating if they can't speak, or adults, how many times? I mean, you talk about the mandalas, that's part of the mentorship programs we do. Mandalas, drawing, mandalas is a big order of the day. Creating, and it's so true because through that you're getting the energy flowing from your heart. And allowing the love to flow in the way you express because your hands are symbols of expression, really. So how are you expressing, or exactly writing, drawing, creating, painting, pottering, anything, anything, cooking, planting, anything. I'm a huge believer in automatic writing and what that basically, in my mind, if you just sit down with a pen and a piece of paper and you just start writing, don't let yourself stop. Even if it's just gibberish and it makes no sense, all of a sudden, things are gonna start to come out that you've been suppressing. And it's gonna come out.  Yeah, oh my gosh. And then it starts flowing, yeah. Yeah, and no one has to see it. It's not like somebody's gonna grade your automatic writing. You don't have to show anybody. It's just that it doesn't have to be neat. The words don't have to be spelled right. You just keep writing and just see, but it's gonna, if you don't give yourself a chance to stop, so if you don't stop, you just keep going, then you're not giving your mind that chance to slip in and block again, right? So you're allowing that energy to flow out. With a well-balanced, then you're gonna basically have the opposite.  You're gonna have pretty limber joints in the hand. You're also gonna have an expression of desire and passion. You're gonna want that desire. You're gonna want that passion. So if you're feeling like passion less, whether that's an art in the bedroom, whatever it is, then look and see what's again blocked, what's blocked. But if you're feeling that desire for passion, then obviously there's something free-flowing, perfectly well-balanced within your whole system. Now we can also start to heal this too. I thought this was really interesting. I listened to somebody talk about this because I knew some of the other healing modalities, but this one I thought, oh, this is good. And I had never heard this before. Start working with textiles. So go out during the day and actually start to feel different fabrics. Make a point to feel, I've got some of my cards. You'll feel the cards and register what you're actually feeling. Feel the rocks. If you have crystals and rocks, feel them and really take note of what's happening within that sensation of feeling. Feel foods. Touch a banana. Touch, don't stick your hand in somebody else's food. Yeah, be conscious. And it's like, I love what you're saying there. Sorry to interrupt you.  So be conscious of every step. I, for example, have done a lot of barefoot hiking. Like Taggle Mountain and stuff. And it's amazing. People go, ugh. But it really is, it's like, doesn't matter as long as it's not too cold, but you know, it's about putting your foot one step ahead of the other and consciously treading and lightly treading. Think if you were in trainers or something, you just walk in crunch, crunch, crunch on the ground.  You're treading lightly on the earth. You're leaving a light footprint. And I think it's very much the same thing as well with your hands to touch because what is more tactile than your hands every moment of every day? We're touching our baby's face. We touch our lover. We touch our mother. We touch our father. We touch our kids. We hold, there are such appendages of joy, right? So it's just, yeah. Yeah, and it's, I was, yeah, it's even your animals. Like when you go to pet your animals, like you're not going to aggressively, you're very lovingly and that's coming from, from the heart.  It comes, mops you to keep petting him. You know, so, you know, he wants, and we feel that like, think about when you get a really nice massage or a really nice Reiki session and you actually feel some shifting happening, not just the sensation of the massage, but you actually can feel whether the person's energy that's touching you is coming through pure or not. You can feel that. You can register that. You know, these are our tentacles of power and they can be used. I mean, that's kind of the thing. I mean, they say once we grew thumbs, that's when this planet turned gangster, because then we learned how to shoot guns. We learned how to, you know, but that's your, that's your choice, your free will, right? Either you can use these tentacles. I like this. I know. Well, in Venus, that says in Venus, they have apparently just four fingers, which I'm really super curious about. So, just the four. I like it. I like myself. I'm like myself. So, I'm like, how does it actually be without thumbs? But, but- I'll come back to earth, I'll come back to earth just to get my thumbs. Well, but how powerful is that, right? So, we came to a planet where we have thumbs, which means we can make these things. We can do damage, but we can also do love. You can take your thumb and wipe a tear away from somebody's face. You can take your thumbs and need into somebody's back or maybe they have a bit of a, so that's your power, that's your choice. Like, what are you gonna do with these? What are you gonna do with these? Like, that comes from your own free will, you know? And so, that's where the power is. So, also, your fingers have different sensations, different elements attached to them. So, the thumb is attached with worry. And so, we can end digestion and a headache. Now, I don't know all the pressure points on the thumb. I know from meditation, different energy cycles, but that means that if you've got a headache, we're gonna talk about whether it's the feet as well, when next time we talk about the feet. There are places you can press on your thumb. I know that you can stick your thumb under cold or hot water to create a different sensation in the body, right? Like, for me, if I get really, really, really cold, which I get cold very easily because it's always hot here, so when it gets a little cold, I turn into a baby, I can go stick my thumb under hot water, just my thumb, and it will immediately start to warm the body up, right? Digestion, so, index finger is fear. So, and fear can relate to back pain. Yes, problems with your teeth, too, thanks. And so, you can work with, and I would suggest that that's something you guys are interested in finding a Reiki healer near you that can actually teach you how to work with that modality with just the fingers. And they're also in the feet, too, which again, we're gonna talk about next week, is the feet. Middle finger, the middle finger is anger, which makes sense, right? We give the bird, that's anger, right? So, that can also be fatigue, eye strain, dry cough, right? So, that makes perfectly, that makes perfect, somebody at some point knew that that meant anger, and that's why this happened, right? So, somebody knew this, right? Exactly. Now, here's the interesting thing that I was like, holy crap, when I saw this, the ring finger, so here's my left finger, which we always put the rings when we get married on our left finger. Well, the ring finger is associated with brief. And also, letting go and breathing, this is the finger that's associated with your respiratory system. Your lungs, yes, absolutely. How interesting is that, that's where they put the wedding band on, is the finger that's associated with breathing, letting go, grief, it's almost like they knew. It's almost like they knew. And it's like, in fact, I remember that, who I know that from a long time ago, with especially the left the ring finger, because it really, it's the lungs, the respiratory system, as you say, grief, so it's your freedom, breathing, grief. And how many people don't feel trapped, claustrophobic, caged in, grief, grief stricken in a marriage, right? Yeah, see, I don't ever wear rings. And I stopped wearing rings when I started, when I became a Mysore teacher, because I don't wear rings when I practice, because it pinches in different, but when I started teaching Mysore, I didn't wear rings either, because I didn't want to accidentally cut a student with a ring. And now I have a really hard time putting rings on. Every time I put a ring on, like it bothers me, it bothers my hands, so I just never really wear them anymore. But it's interesting when you start to look at, you know, I know people who have been in bad marriages, they're all of a sudden, their left ring will, fingers will sort of swell around the ring, and they can't get the ring off. The body is always, we lie to ourselves all the time. We all, we're always lying to ourselves, but our body isn't. Our body is, yeah, it's telling you. But he always keeps the score. Absolutely. He talks to us all the time. We've got to learn to speak the lingo of the body, and it's so true. And I mean, I also know a friend who ended his engagement with his long-term partner, and two days later, he broke his ring finger.  You know, it's so clear as well, Shane, yeah. So clear, so clear. I have a tend to upper-pent city to have sensation in my left arm a lot in my practice. And that's something I have to work on, is my left, is that, and I know it's coming from a specific, particular, actually, I think it is actually coming from this finger, because it travels up through the hand. And so every time, it doesn't happen all the time, but every time I feel it, I go, okay. All right, I have to figure, I have to release something. Something is telling me that there's a misalignment within, if there's a misalignment in your body, then there's a misalignment in the energetic field. And so why? That's my domain. That's where I, that's the power move, is I get to figure this out.  Well, the pinky is associated with trying, or trying to do something, trying. And that is also connected to the nervous system, and it's also connected to the throat. So a lot of times sore throats associated with the pinky, which think about that, guys, trying to communicate. Yeah. I was gonna say for me, I also know the pinky to be communication, which makes a lot of sense if it's connected to the throat. Yeah. Yeah. And when we're trying to, how many people do we know, including ourselves, who are trying to stand up for ourselves, trying to speak our truths? But it's hard, it's not, you don't just do it overnight, and that throat, that that inner depth, that fifth, that fifth chakra there, right? It's kind of, it's always, they're working together. We talked about that with the, one over the seven chakras. These kind of, they all work together, but there's a very close relationship between these two. Yeah. And think about the energy that's closest to, that's coming to this, this system. Well, now, obviously, since the palm is a huge source of energy, where we can control our energy, and I mean, really, like I would, even in my advice to people would be, think about yourself, like being that, that comic book character that can put lights at. Like, feel that, like feel that, because that's real, that's your energy source. Well, something too to open up a little exercise you can do, and I do this almost daily. I'll start with the right hand. You can take your left thumb, place it right in the middle of the right palm, and then go in a clockwise position. So just kind of go in that clockwise position, moving the energy, and you can do it for however long you feel like you need to do it, right? To go in that clockwise position. And then after that's done, you take and press the pads of the fingers together to open up those sources of energy. Like I tell my students all the time in the end of the ashtanga practice, we do yoga mudra, which is this, you see it done a lot like this, this is not the mudra guys, that's the bad symbol, that's what they do. It's this, because it's the pads of the thumbs, it's like a duck bill. My teacher in India is very strict about that, it's like it's a duck bill. And I always want my students to spread the fingers out, make sure that energy is coming out. The arms are straight, so there's a pathway coming straight through, and of course that cycle is working there. And when you find that intention, the devil is in the details, we'll say Krishna is in the details, you find the power, and then you wanna go to the left hand. In the left hand you take that right thumb, and you go in that clockwise position again, always clockwise into that left thumb. Yeah, and then you do the same with the tips of the fingers, and really start to work and get that pressure point going. But I find doing this with my hands, ooh, that really wakes things up, right? I find myself doing that, because for all my research, I know I've said this before, I never take notes on the computer, I always take them in notebooks. So I write a lot. And so even just doing that, after writing for a long time, I feel like it moves energy and sand. Yeah, that's maybe a little bit stuck. Now if we think about, and of course Shanti and I both use exercise in a way for spirituality, right? That's kind of the yoga. Also in the practice is using the physical body to awaken the spiritual. And I believe in my heart of hearts that any exercise can have the element of yoga in it, where you're using it to discover things about yourself. But right now in the world of yoga, people are very obsessed with handstands. And so let's use a handstand as an example. You know, when you are powering up from the ground floor, if you watch people do handstand, a lot of times they're coming, I'll show you guys, a lot of you look at their hands, a lot of times they're doing this with their fingertips, right? They're powering, they're gripping from the fingertips. There's a reason for that. Those are power centers and they're pushing, right?  It's not gonna be good news for you. If you do that, you're gonna fall, right? There's that power, that energy of that. And it's a protraction, right? It's that protraction. Same in like the posture downward facing dog. I tell my students all the time, downward facing dog is a variation of a handstand. And when you're in downward facing dog is one of the most common of the yoga poses. Even somebody who has never practiced yoga in their life knows what downward dog looks like. And I tell my students all the time, especially after multiple sun citations when their body is a little bit warm, instead of just hanging out there and just kind of being there for five breaths, really press into the hands. See if you can feel the energy coming up through the arms into the ribs because this whole section, this whole area is part of that cycle. And children, you look at children, their ribs move. Adults? Yeah, they do. Stuck. Your ribs are supposed to move. And so downward dog is a great stabilizing posture where you can start to connect mentally and activate. And then press into the heels and really see if you can feel that energy moving through the hands into the central body. Yeah, it's powerful. It's powerful. And it's not a heavy thing.  And you can literally feel the energy moving through the body then. When you actually talk to you sucking in the navel, I've gone on freeze again. Yeah, we got you back. No one wants to talk about this. Oh, dear, yeah. They don't want us spreading the good news about yoga, right? Yeah, I know. So it's so true what you're saying. And it's so amazing because the hands are so powerful. And as you say, just with that by placement, adjustment, and really just focus, focusing on and trusting your body, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah, your body knows how to do that.  Your body knows how to do this. And so if you just, and that's the thing about, the beautiful thing about energy work is, we can sit here until we're blue in the face and talk about this, but nothing's going to happen until you do it yourself. You can bring a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. You think about dancers. Like, if you look at the way dancers move their arms, they're not just haphazardly like moving their arms. There's control. There's a control. And so, and what is dance? It's an element of expression. So how they move are expressing what's coming from that emotional connection to the art form. And when you start to connect all the dots, it's like, holy crap, how powerful are you? You know, we talk a lot about, there's a posture in the fundamental sequence of ashtanga yoga where you take, I won't say a Sanskrit, but I'll confuse people. In English, it's the hand-to-foot pose.   What's happening here is this cycle. Now a lot of people teach it wrong like this. It's like this, because that cycle of energy that's coming from the foot into the arm, there's a cycle happening here. Yeah. So you start to actually feel that when you're standing up, it feels even different, that sensation feels different. It's like when you see postures like Lutita Hastapada and Gurshthasana, a posture in yoga where people stand up. You know, sometimes they'll hook their toe like this. No, you hook it by touching the index finger and then you point the toe and it locks all of that energy. You know, we'll talk about the feet next week, but it locks it. And so you can start to really play with this stuff and start to figure out how powerful you are. Once you start to feel that, then the realization that you can heal yourself settles in as fact, not as just- Absolutely. You know.  I think a lot of people don't realize how simple it is. You know, just to cultivate good habits every day, drink two liters of water every day, go for a walk around the block or do half an hour of yoga or exercise three or four times a week. You know, if you just start little habits, you will see how amazing that becomes. Yeah, it just leads you into other things. It makes you really understand and feel the benefit of doing these things. It's amazing. Yeah, it's totally amazing. And that's what I, I know we've talked about this before with the body dysmorphic stuff, going into this new timeline. That's one thing I really want to push forward is exercise is not something that's meant to punish you. It's an experience and an opportunity. Yeah, to figure your body out and to understand. And I believe in my opinion, of course, I don't have a way of proving this, but in my opinion, I believe that the controllers, the powers that be knew that there was no way they were going to stop us from actually moving because the body does crave movement. The body craves movement. People get antsy, they want to move. So they couldn't stop us from moving. And so they manipulated the way we saw movement. Yo, exercise should never be a punishment. It's always- I agree. I agree. Don't weigh yourself with this. About the way- Exactly. But I've always said when we look at people, for example, who will go to the gym and take their steroids and proteins, I don't even know what they're doing, versus people generally who do yoga. And I'm not talking about this new commercial wave that's taken over, because there's also this commercial wave of yoga that's taken over. That's all about what outfit you're wearing and how hot your backside is or whatever. That's not what yoga is about at all. Actually, it's the opposite. But often people go to gym because they don't like themselves. They're not liking what they're seeing in the mirror. They don't like that they've picked up weight over December or their belly is too big or they don't like themselves on a physical level, particularly. You see, and that's the difference. So you're fighting against yourself all the time and you're not getting the results you want. Now, people generally who understand the essence of yoga, we love ourselves. We do yoga because we love ourselves, because we want to give our body that stretching, twisting, breathing, delicious experience. It's a very different mindset. And again, this is just, this is really, I'm speaking about this because it's important, I think that we can explain how the mindset affects us. So you often gonna find people will do yoga and yoga, you don't mean to sweat by the way. It's not like this pump, pump, pump, pump thing. Yoga is really about building strength, building flexibility, connecting to the mind and understanding the whole universe on a much deeper level. The physical postures is really just one aspect of yoga. And do you know how many people actually lose weight like that? Oh, man. And not because, yeah, not because they're running and jumping and sweating and doing whatever. They are at ease with themselves and they're relaxing and then the weight just falls off and the body just finds its natural way it wants to be. We have a joke in Ashutanga when people first start and they usually drop a lot of weight and we call it Ashutanga rexic where all of a sudden people start to get like, and that's happened to me before in the past, especially in second series where I had a hard time keeping weight on. And it's because you're also flushing out that lymphatic system as well. And stress can cause the harm of the, cortisone can cause all this stuff to happen to the body and once you start to move that it starts to flush itself out. And absolutely. And it does, you know, and I noticed too, with, and I'm the type of person that when I get really stressed out, I actually won't eat. I kind of forget that's the vata in me, but I find with people who have the propensity to eat when they're stressed, when they start to work on that in yoga, they find they don't even, they don't have the need to snack anymore. And so their body is finding that equilibrium within the energy they're bringing in as well versus what they're putting out in the practice. Cause it's all energy. It's all an energy exchange with yourself or sure. And that's why, yeah, yoga people and dancers too, always tend to have very long lean muscles. And it's because you're actually pulling and strengthening at the same time. And that blood, that flat, that flush of blood is coming through. And it's, I know it, I had somebody ask me once when I was director of yoga for wellness centers of America, they were like, the guy who was in a yoga, he was like, so how do I get a yoga body? And I like, look to the guy, I was like, well, you do yoga. Like, there's no like, come to a class. You do yoga. Hello. Like, wait, there's some secret thing I can tell you to do at the gym to give you, no, if you want a long, if you're somebody who wants a long lean like body, then do yoga. Like that's what you do. And I love the fact that if you don't use weights or anything you work according to your own body weights, you're building muscles according to your body. You're building strength according to your body. You're not over pumping things up. Yeah. That's amazing. Think about that too. My teacher in India did a conference on this actually where he spoke about weightlifting. And he talked about how that weightlifting isn't actually real strength. You're not really that strong, but a yoga person, like if I was having to be rescued from a burning building, I would rather have a yoga student come get me than a weightlifter because the yoga student, the weight they're lifting is their body weight, but they're doing it in a way that's moving. They're constantly moving with the weight. So they have that mobility. They know how to control it and find the equilibrium. So if I need someone to carry me out of a burning building, I'm gonna want a yoga person to do it because they're gonna be able to lift up and find the mobility, the equilibrium that the body wants. And it's super, I mean, when you start to realize how magical human beings are, you also start to get that sovereignty back. And you stop, you're like, no, we're so special. We're so special. And the good thing with the hands I think too, especially for people who are super new to the chakras, this is something that I think is actually a pretty good place to start because your hands are so relatable. We use our hands all day. And so to start in paying attention to like thoughts behind your actions with your hands, you know, and how to flush that energy. And then of course, that will bring you into even deeper work within that. Yeah, beautiful, I love it. It's so beautiful. Yeah, and it kind of- Yay, turn it off to your hands, everybody, love them. Be kind to them, be nice. You see the expressions of everything here. Yes. Oh, I see. So awesome to have you on again.  I know. And it's great to have you back. And thank you for an awesome topic again tonight. It's so interesting and it's just wonderful. Yeah. Are we gonna do feet next? Cause I know you know- We are doing the feet, honey. These feet were made for walking. Oh yeah. The feet are, oh, I love the feet. They are, even they are super powerful. So yeah, for sure, for sure. Yeah, so, I'm always barefoot, Shanti. So I've never had shoes on. I'm the same, I'm the same, except now in winter when it's chilly, no, then I'll definitely make my compromises. But any other time that I can walk around barefoot or slip-slops, you know, just normal slip-slops, I am so happy and I just love it. But we look forward to that because if you think their hands are powerful, hmm, wait for the feet. Yep. So which we will be talking about next week on Wellness Wednesday with our beautiful Bryce Watson from Esoteric Atlanta. Thank you, Lovely, so much once again.

We are going to plan for let's see where we are the week of the 24th through the 30th and as you can see I've already made a little note here. So let's dive right in. I'm just diving right on in. So this week I note on the 28th. I like to if you're new here what I like to do is first put down bills to do. I'm kind of conscious of my bills. So on Tuesday as you can see I have paid for a PO box. It expires on the 31st and I need to pay that before then but Tuesday would be the best day for me to pay that. So I also have my handy-dandy stickers over here. I have some more over here to the left and these are some script stickers that I made for myself and I'm going to use one of these. I'm just gonna stick it here at the top and these may be coming to the shop. I'm kind of you know testing them out so in the next release they'll probably come out. I'll use these stickers by sweet caress love them. We are going to be doing some menu planning. I do my menu planning kind of on between Friday and Saturday. So I'm just gonna take one of these. I'm just gonna put it down for Saturday and these are some more script stickers that I may be bringing to the shop. I'm kind of deciding on the size because the size is really kind of perfect especially if you use a larger planner. So if anything I may make them a little smaller for me. So so far that's what we have. I know on Friday excuse me the 28th my car insurance is due so I'm going to go ahead and so we have car insurance down. Pretty much there's nothing else to do. I like to prepare for my first of the month bills which will fall on Monday. So I'll put like my reminder here of those bills. So I have that down. I'm trying to think oh I need to make some doctor's appointments. I'm gonna do that on Monday. You know made some during COVID and I just didn't really feel comfortable going in. So I have to make some more. I think I might have went to maybe one or two which is my yearly appointments but I need like an eye exam. I need everything and last night we were coming back from Virginia and I could barely see. So yeah doctor appointments schedule my eye exam. I feel like there's something else I'm missing. So far I'm trying to think I only have to work on Thursday so far. So I have a little sticker here. These are some I made for myself which I am considering bringing to the shop. I wanted to kind of stick to the color thing. Let's pause for the calls for one second so I can't look for that. Okay so I'm just going to use this one. The one that I wanted I did not. It was like a oops and I just wanted it to look great. So you know that's Thursday so it's a work sticker. Like a highlighted work sticker. Like I said I was reluctant to bring them to the shop because I felt like you know everyone had them but you know whatever so I put 10 a.m. Now next I like to list the days I'm gonna work out. I never I try not to miss Mondays. Never miss a Monday so I'm gonna put Tuesday used to be my rest day but I'm gonna put work out here and in June I'm starting a challenge with some family members and we're working out for 30 days straight and we're putting like 30 dollars in the pot so I'm trying to get myself together for that and normally my rest day is Thursday if I don't rest on Thursday I rest on Friday so I'm gonna leave Friday empty and then I'm gonna put a workout here on Saturday and then below that I'm gonna put fasted cardio. I want to get back into how I used to work out and I did a lot of fasted cardio. I'm not sure about Monday with fasted cardio but I'm gonna try for Tuesday and then Sunday is normally like a rest day for me relax but I have a lot of decluttering to do a lot of cleaning to do so I'm going to do some cleaning and then I need to list all I need to do actually have some new cleaning icons that's out in the shop and I'm going to show you those in just a second so these are our new cleaning icons they're very tiny well not very but they're small enough to fit on a line I'll show you that let me show you we'll put that here so it's there and also I'm gonna be pretty much cleaning and decluttering the whole week also we have some fitness icons as you can see I've used them so I'm going to get let's see because I've used pretty much most of them I have some walking ones so we also have some shoe icons I'll use those for the days that I'm working out unless there's a specific task that I'm trying to do because either it's gonna be a walk I've been walking in my neighborhood or is this going to be a workout DVD or YouTube workout video so I put that there also these are the new releases we have recycle bin and I'll do a separate video on these but also we have trash day so I'm going to use a trash icon because the trash comes on Wednesday and that's also the recycle day and I'm going to use some of these oops from my shop these are the light cashmere and like I told you I'll keep the oops for myself because I just don't want them to kind of go to waste and sometimes I do sale the oops stickers trash day needs to send an email a group email out on Monday I'm trying to get a little schedule going with you know my youtube newsletter is is hard also on Tuesday I need to do a bank transfer so I'm just going to use these are some little icon stickers that I have so far they're just for myself that's what we have and then I'm thinking I want to also film on Monday because I need to so I've just added filmed new releases and then I'm going to take this to do sticker here let me just put that there all right that was another one of my oops stickers so so far that's it and then I normally what I do my meal prep kind of lasts me from I try to make it like to Wednesday whatever I cook on Sunday I eat to kind of Wednesday sometimes Thursday and then towards the weekend I'll either freestyle or either I will um like meal prep again for the next two three days which is normally here so these are some circles from my shop this is iced milk this is like a um color way that I did when I was like choosing the colors but this ice milk is in the shop so I'm gonna take that take meal prep put over top so I have to write out meal prep and so far that's it Friday I'm trying to think do I have anything to do Friday so far I don't have matter of fact y'all I think work needs to go to Friday I think it may be Thursday I have to double check through the appointment book here that is in my planner which I should have looked at but um I think that's it so Friday I really don't have a lot to do um I think I'm going to do some more decluttering let me write that down because since that day is kind of free and I'm going to declutter my closets linen closet storage that's it y'all I know it's simple oh my priorities this week let me put that down PO box I have this PO box listed in every place I can remember okay oh and I need to send my daughter a package she ordered some shoes that came here she lives in Atlanta so let me send that send then I want to do a little care package for her so I'll do that on Monday so I'm going to take another one of these do drop stickers and and then and basically as a highlight and then I'm going to take the mail icon here and just stick it there there's that so this is my minimal planning style y'all this is what I've just been doing I get more done this away so I'm you know I just happened to get more done this away without too much distraction the muted colors just work for me but I'm always open for some stickers okay I love my stickers but um this just works a little better for me especially at this moment in time in my life with so much going on and you know some things are just less these days some things are just more these days but this works for me and then if I need to add something it either if I have room for that day normally Monday is just everything it's always looking like this but if I have to do anything I'll do a dealing plan so I'll go into doing that and then as you can see the dealings are just about the same they're just pretty much like my weeklies so that is it for today so I hope you guys enjoyed today's video and as always if today was your first time seeing any of my videos and you enjoyed today's content please do me a favor hit that subscribe button also hit the notification bell so that you're notified whenever I upload content and I appreciate you guys so much thank you for stopping by and I will see you in my next video bye


Pat Marsh and Erica North. Weekdays from 12. BBC Radio Kent. Right now it's breakfast on BBC Radio Kent with John and Anna, just approaching quarter to eight. Now there's no joke, it goes a little bit something like that, right. How do you know if someone is vegan? Wait for it, don't worry. They'll tell you. I don't know if I get enough abuse for talking about it on this show. New research shows that more than a quarter of all evening meals now in the UK are vegan or vegetarian. However, vegan activists are also making the news as well. And some people are asking are they going too far? We told you last week about the lobby in Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury to take pork items off their menu because they were showing pepper pig. Joey Carbstrong is an Australian celebrity vegan activist with tens of thousands of social media followers currently touring the UK in an order to spread the word about his plant-based lifestyle. He joins us in the studio. Thanks for joining us. Thank you. Come a long way. Also on the line, we've got Frank Langrish, a sheep and cattle farmer from Rye who joins us live as well. Joey, I guess the question that I want to ask you to start is that whilst your message may be pure and well-intentioned, you're going to lose the argument, aren't you, if people start to get violent? It's supposed to be about compassion for animals. You've got to have compassion for people as well. Yeah, 100% and that's the approach I advocate for. If anyone's come to any of my advocacy workshops, it's promoting a peaceful, polite dialogue. Now, I haven't seen any evidence of violence from vegans, but if I do see any evidence of that, I'll publicly condemn that and I will sort of keep them in check. Obviously, this is a movement of peace. We just want peace for animals, peace for humans, peace for the world. Obviously, what's happening to animals is very horrific and I cannot control everyone within a movement, but obviously, what I promote is online for everyone to see. Let's bring in Frank now, because Frank, I understand that you have actually suffered some intimidation from vegetarians and vegans. Good morning Anna. Yes, well, I'm not sure where Joey gets his information from. I think he was the originator of this group called SAVE and we have a very nice little rural abattoir of which there are very, very few left these days, which we use and once a month, quite a large number of his supporters come along and obstruct the abattoir. They abuse the farmers and a lot of these farmers are quite small farmers who bring their stock to this nice, pleasant little abattoir and also the owners of the abattoir, their children have been threatened by people from the vegan movement threatening to murder the children and it's generally extremely unpleasant. Do you want to think about this, Joey? Excuse, if anyone's threatening to murder children, you need to take that up with the police, not just make claims over the radio, because that is a very heavy claim you're making right there and to say that I founded the SAVE movement isn't true either, so I do your research as well. I'm just a part of the SAVE movement. I didn't found it. Also, if anyone's being abusive through the SAVE movement, you need to get in contact with the police as well because that is not part of the guidelines of the SAVE movement. So you're making very strong claims here and I'm wondering why you decided to make these claims on the radio and not go through the normal processes. These claims have been investigated by the police and in fact, unfortunately, four police have to turn up every time these people come there to try to control order. The avatar owners also have to pay for private security as well, which puts a further cost on the killing of the owls. This is completely unnecessary. As a producer of high quality meat, I don't go around threatening health food shops to say you must eat my meat.  Excuse me, that's a straw man. I never threatened anyone to get them to stop eating meat. I do polite, respectful dialogue and if there is anyone making threats, you need to take that up with the authorities. Now, if they haven't arrested anyone because of these claims, then I would say there's no evidence for those claims. Now, if you're making claims without evidence, that's pretty heavy too, so I'd be very careful about that. Joey, can I just ask, if you are part of this movement, I know you say you didn't found it, but can't you do something to stop this happening? If it is happening, I mean, we just got one person who works in an abattoir here making a claim. Joey, do you? That's not true at all. The farmers are threatened when they arrive with their livestock. Joey, I wanted to ask, Joey, would you support people turning up to abattoirs to demonstrate against the meat trade? If it's peaceful protest, it's got to be intimidating. If you're there with animals, it's got to be intimidating. How is it intimidating to stand there with a sign saying we're here for two minutes with each truck to see the animals? All we do is have a photo with the animals, show our respect to the animals. It's called bearing witness where we witness the animals before they go in to get killed and it's a completely peaceful movement. The safe movement guidelines are peaceful. Isn't it a bit like standing outside an abortion clinic saying save the babies? A bit like standing outside the abortion clinic. Animals are completely innocent and they're being killed for an unjustifiable reason so people can have some meat in their sandwich when we don't need to for health or for survival. So these animals do not have a choice in this and all we're doing is standing there and respectfully asking people to make better choices that don't involve victims. Can I just change the subject slightly here? Because what I'd really like to know, I keep quite a lot of animals and I have lots of pasture land. In fact if you look at the wheeled of Kent and Sussex it was all created by livestock over the years. Pigs and sheep and cattle and all the hedgerows we have are all through the enclosures for keeping of animals. Now I've got pastures that are hundreds of years old that have been grazed by animals. We pride ourselves on producing grass-fed animals. But what I'd want to know from Joey is if I can't keep an animal anymore, what crops do I grow so I can keep his vegan lifestyle to what he wants me to have? So you want me to come up with a solution to transform your farm that kills animals for profit into something more ethical? You want me to write you out a diagram? I want you to tell me what crops I need to grow, yes. I'd rather so that is not for me to do for you. What I'm here to do is speak up for animals who are going to a slaughterhouse for your benefit. No, no, no. You've got to have an alternative, surely. I do. I'm going to have that solution. Let me ask you this. Do you think it's justified to put these innocent animals into a slaughterhouse so you get some money in your pocket? Now my tip isn't really with farmers, you're supplying a demand.  I understand that they keep putting me up against farmers, like I've got some problem with farmers, which couldn't be further from the truth. I understand supply and demand chain. Now for me, to you to say, hey Joey, I want you to come up with a solution to transform all of our animal farms into to grow ethical plants, I don't have that solution for you. But I'm here to tell you that it's unjustified to put animals in slaughterhouses and we need to grow crops. You can't just say, well you can't keep animals anymore because that's not ethically correct. The fact is that the mistil by far the majority of people are meat eaters, most human beings are actually omnivores. Yeah, that's a problem. But you can't come up with a suggestion to tell me what it would be, what crops I could grow. Unless I know that. Now I've done a little research on this and it would appear that vegans seem to eat a lot of soya, they eat almond oil and all sorts of things like that. None of which I can grow on my farm. Joey, what I would have put you is that some of the language you used is very upsetting to some people. You do use very strong language when you're criticising meat eaters. Therefore, isn't that in a way encouraging people to be violent? Could you be specific about the language? Well, holocaust for instance. I've used that to the term. I have used that earlier on in my advocacy.  If you look up the terminology, it is the correct word to describe. I'm not saying it's the wrong word. I'm just saying it is very inflammatory language and therefore aren't you by implication suggesting people become violent? That is a ridiculous claim my friend. How is me describing what happens to animals in any way, asking for violence from people. I'm saying animals are being killed to the tune of three trillion a year nearly. Animals are being stabbed to death in slaughterhouses for an unjustifiable reason. Animals are murdered against their will. How am I telling people to be violent? Well, you're not specifically telling them to be violent. What I'm suggesting is the language you are using, if somebody was a vegan, they could listen to you and think that they've got to do something more than just be a vegan. But Joey's saying it's anti-violence. He's saying it's anti-violence. He doesn't want this to happen. Can I please say something?  We don't need to eat dogs to survive. Would you be coming at me and saying, hey, you're insinuating, you're creating violence? Yeah, you're right. With dogs because they're our pets in Britain, we don't look at them. Well, that's right. What's the difference, my friend? Well, nothing to you. I can stand up for dogs, right, but I can't stand up for cows, chickens, pigs, lambs and fish. Yeah, basically. Of course you can.  Well, in your view, what is the difference? Well, I'm looking at two of my sheep dogs at the moment. My sheep dogs, actually, they have the very control of all they can do anything like a lamb. Yes, it has feelings in that, but it doesn't have the brain power to actually know. I don't have a lot of brain power. Oh, my God. So you were saying intelligence determines moral value.    So if you're saying intelligence determines moral value, why are we lowering pigs into a gas chamber for a bacon sandwich? By your logic, we should be lowering dogs down into a gas chamber because they're less intelligent than pigs. There's no logic in this. I don't see your argument. We don't eat dogs in this country. And we're not going to start eating dogs in this country, are we? Okay, we're going to have to take the last words from all of you. It's the last word from you, please, Frank. Well, I think this becomes such an emotive subject from him. This is a single issue. And one piece of information I did read on my small amount of research is that a lot of vegans, because of the diet they eat and the lack of dairy products, they can become very short of iodine. And iodine can cause a very old fashioned disease called cretinism, which I think probably sums him up quite well. I'm sorry, my friend. Can I take your response to that, please, Jerry? You need to provide evidence for your claim saying vegans want to murder children. That is a very strong claim. And you would want to make sure you have evidence for that. It is unjustified to stab innocent animals to death for an unnecessary reason, just like it's unjustified for them to do what they do to dogs in Newland. Okay, that's the last word from both. I'm sure lots of my listeners would want to call me a quitting, actually. That happens on a day you think. I don't name call. I don't name call. I love you, mate. Catch ya. Okay, thank you both. Joey Carbstrong and Frank Langrish. Debating the issues here now, it's over to you. Where do you stand on this? We had the vegan. We had the farmer. What's your opinions?<PHONE_NUMBER>. Please get in touch with us this morning. Very good stuff. It's three minutes to eight.


Country legend Tim McGraw has strategically invested his wealth in impressive real estate. It's no wonder when you consider that he and his equally iconic wife Faith Hill have a combined net worth of $165 million. The couple's primary residence, located in Nashville, Tennessee, boasts 5 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and an expansive 22,460 square feet of space. Put that in perspective, the average US home is approximately 2,261 square feet, making their residence 10 times the size. Now that Tim and Faith's three daughters have moved out, the couple enjoys the grandeur of their spacious home. Tim frequently offers peaks into their residence and social media, revealing a space that could easily rival a luxury hotel. Recently, he shared an Instagram clip seated in what appeared to be one of their living rooms, watching some of his classic music videos. The sophisticated room featured contrasting yet harmonious textures such as a luscious tan leather sofa and a plush black and gray carpet. The overall ambiance of their home reflects a perfect blend of elegance and comfort, not to mention it sits on a beautiful sprawling piece of land. Tim McGraw, born on May 1, 1967, in Delhi, Louisiana, emerged as one of country music's most iconic figures, blending traditional contemporary sounds with an undeniable charm. Raised by his mother Betty Trimble after his father baseball player Tug McGraw left before he was born, Tim grew up with a love for sports and music. His passion for music became evident during his college years, and he eventually made the bold decision to pursue a career in the industry. In 1996, Tim McGraw's life took a significant turn when he met fellow country artist Faith Hill. Their love story began when they were both on the spontaneous combustion tour. At the time Faith was engaged, but the connection between her and Tim was undeniable. The chemistry that unfolded on and off stage led to a powerful collaboration on the duet It's Your Love, which became a massive hit. Despite both facing challenges in their personal lives, Tim and Faith's connection deepened, and they tied the knot on October 6, 1996. As you may know, they became one of the most beloved power couples in the music industry. Tim and Faith became parents to three daughters as well, Gracie Catherine, Maggie Elizabeth, and Audrey Caroline. Family has always been at the core of their lives, and the couple prioritizes maintaining a strong and supportive home environment, despite being empty nesters these days. As their family grew, so did their professional collaborations. Tim and Faith continued to make music together, creating hits like Speak to a Girl and the rest of our life. In terms of their home life, the couple owns impressive real estate, including a notable residence in Nashville, Tennessee. This five bedroom, 10 bedroom home stands a vast 22,460 square feet, reflecting the couple's success in the music industry. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's current estate has been kept largely private, mostly because it's a custom dream home. They built from the ground up. Located in Nashville, Tennessee, or somewhere just in the nearby outskirts, records show that the mega mansion spans over 22,000 square feet of space inside. Tim and Faith all floated their other properties in recent years, but the fact that this estate is so huge, also boasting five beds and 10 baths, it's obvious the couple doesn't need much else. With the average American family home spanning approximately 2,260 square feet of space, the couple's abode is 10 times the size of that. Now that Tim and Faith's three daughters are all grown, the two further have all of the space for themselves, so I bet it gets a little quiet. Tim often shares glimpses of the home's interiors on social media, and we can get an idea of how massive and lavish the home really is. The country star shared a clip on Instagram sitting in what looked like to be one of the living rooms, watching his old music videos. The room was decorated with sophisticated glam and textures, like a buttery leather sofa in a shade of tan, as well as black and grey carpets underfoot. The rest of this room was painted in a shade of white and boasted floor to ceiling windows at the front of the home, which brought in light. Nearby there is a marble topped island, and a spiral black staircase also revealed. During past Christmases, we also could see another room in the massive mansion, which seems like the great room, and this space has been decorated in all white. Even the Christmas tree itself at the time followed this theme. Aside from the floor to ceiling windows, we could see an antique brass chandelier and a grand piano. It's also clear the double height great room has soaring ceilings with wood beams. The kitchen has a slightly different theme, and from what Tim had shown in the past, there are varnished wood floors, black and white statement wall, as well as add-ons, like a stainless steel chimney hood, and a suite of more stainless steel appliances. The open plan-looking space also has a handful of storage cabinets, a blue island with white top and leather seats, as well as a grey couch in the back of the room. The outside of their home is just as stunning, with grounds that look more like a park than a backyard. There are amazing views of the surrounding areas as well, and we could see this when the couple posed a pic of a tree decked out in fairy light. Back in February 2021, Tim sold a spot which took he and his wife years of work and tons of money to construct their private island in the Bahamas. A couple purchased the island called Lille de Ange in 2003, and they listed it for $35 million a year before. The final selling price wasn't revealed. It ended up being far more complicated than Tim and Faith originally thought, since there was no existing structures on the island. Before they could build their dream vacation home, it needed to construct housing for the construction staff, as well as water and electrical access. Therefore, the home wasn't fully complete until 2012. 20 acre island had almost 1.3 miles of waterfront, included two beachfront cottages, a private dock, three staff residences, engineering facilities, and much more. While the island is surrounded by the sea, the couple still needed a swimming pool, and I don't blame them, I'm more of a pool person myself. The pool terraces only a few steps from the seaside, and it transitions seamlessly into the indoor area. There's stylish outdoor furnishings on the surrounding terraces to hang out and lounge as well. The main residence is located on a high point at the center of the island to give the best views, while inside it spans over 6,500 square feet, with an additional 5,000 square feet of covered patios and open-air breezeways branching to other structures. The other structures, or pods, gather around a central courtyard or pavilion, and there's also a large open-air living space here. The interiors of the estate match wonderfully with the clear blue skies and sea outside, such as blue accents in certain rooms. Tim explained that they essentially had to build a small town to accommodate all the staff helping them build the place, so it wasn't without its challenges. While the sprawling property was big enough for an army, there were still romantic corners where Tim and Faith could spend some alone time. While they started off with a mere shack on the island, these days the massive 8 pavilion estate is connected by thatched roofs, while outside there is meticulous tropical landscaping and plenty of palm trees. The couple's home had beach-inspired design throughout and a washed-out color palette with accents of color. One of the 8 pavilions was ideal for spending time with family and friends, boasting a large wooden dining table, as well as a lowered sofa-style seating and shade away from the sun. Property had a zen feel to it, especially with the airy hallways. There were also beautiful guest quarters with seaside-inspired tones and plush furnishings, as well as a kid's dorm with bunk beds and two bathrooms. Other spaces included a massive great room which opened directly to the poolside terrace. Tim and Faith's former master suite here might have been the main attraction as it's completely open on one wall, or at least it could do that, allowing you to fall asleep to the waves crashing if you wanted to. Reportedly they also had a freestanding bathtub here on the private porch. While that wraps up our look at Tim McGraw's house tour, we can see that he and Faith's impressive real estate portfolio reflects not only their enduring success in the country music industry, but also the tangible fruits of hard work and dedication. From Tim's expansive and stylish Nashville home to other notable properties, each residence mirrors the same level of sophistication and comfort that Tim and Faith Hill have carefully cultivated in their personal and family life.

Brad Paisley's roots go back to West Virginia and he lives with his family in Tennessee. But the country superstar, his wife, actress Kimberly William Paisley, also lived in California at one point in a stunningly restored vintage home with jaw-dropping views. The low-key celebrities haven't revealed much of their home life over the year, however they still own what's said to be their current mansion, described as a luxury log cabin in Franklin, Tennessee. The duo purchased a nearly 13,000-square-foot property for $1.35 million in 2004. The compound includes the joining lots as well, which adds up to over 11 acres. Brad even reportedly converted a guest house and a property into a recording studio in recent years. Brad Paisley, born on October 28, 1972 in Glendale, West Virginia, is a Grammy-winning country music star celebrated for his heartfelt lyrics, guitar skills, and charismatic performances. His early life in the picturesque Appalachian region got him started on a career that would make him one of country music's most beloved figures. Growing up in Glendale, Paisley was immersed in the musical traditions of the area. His grandfather gifted him his first guitar at the age of eight, sparking a passion that would shape his future. As a teenager, he formed his first band and began performing in local venues, already showcasing his talent. Paisley's home life was based on the warmth of a close-knit family. His parents, Doug and Sandy Paisley provided not only a loving environment, but also support for his musical dreams. Their encouragement and the influence of his grandfather, Warren Jarvis, who introduced him to country legends like Hank Williams and Johnny Cash, fueled Paisley's love for the genre. When it comes to his love life, Paisley's romantic journey has long been intertwined with actress Kimberly Williams. The pair's decades-long love story began in 1991, even though they never actually met until 10 years later. The country music artist first became smitten with Kimberly after watching her play Annie Banks in Father of the Bride in the early 90s. It wasn't until 2001 that he asked her to appear in his music video, and they officially began dating. In March 2003, Paisley proposed to Williams during a trip to the Great Wall of China, and they tied the knot on March 15, 2003. Their enduring love is a rare gem in the fast-paced world of entertainment, and they've become one of country music's most beloved couples. As for where Paisley calls home, he and Kimberly have shared their lives in Nashville, Tennessee, a city that beats with the heart of country music. The couple and their two sons, Huck and Jasper, have created a haven in Nashville, a place where Paisley continues to draw inspiration for his music. In 2022, it was reported that Brad Paisley and his wife, actress Kimberly Williams, sold one sprawling property in Franklin, Tennessee for $2 million. The country singer picked up the prime piece of wooded acreage in 2006, paying $850,000, meaning he received a nice return on his long-time investment. Gradually, no images accompany the listing, however. Based on available info, the off-road setting encompasses an expansive 106 acres, featuring a modest 1,152 square foot structure. The private couple doesn't share much about their domestic life, but they still own what's said to be their main home. Characterized as a two-level luxury log cabin mansion in Franklin, acquired in 2004 for $1.35 million, the extensive property spans 12,746 square feet. And that's not all. Brad and Kimberly's compound incorporates additional adjacent lots, resulting in a combined expanse of over 11 acres. The expansive kitchen has a rustic style with a lot of wood and top-of-the-line appliances. The kitchen gives way to the breakfast area and Brad's home, which is a slight extension. The artist transformed a guest house on their land into a recording studio, ensuring that he had a well-equipped space to navigate the challenges of the pandemic a few years back, while still making music. This large property also boasts a personal at-home bar for Brad, which he's shown off and looks ideal for entertaining, with the feel of a beer saloon. The animal-loving family also admitted that they've started to rescue donkeys in recent years, and they even shared some photos on Instagram. Haseley always wanted a home in Williamson County, and he certainly got it. After moving to Nashville and starting a family, the whiskey lullaby singer found this abode to call home. The expanse of land and grassy plains stretch far from the log cabin-style structure. While doors, the front porch functions as a serene retreat, featuring lounge chairs and wooden floors. Williams previously posted a selfie with her father here, capturing a moment of porch relaxation. While Brad and Kimberly are happily living in Nashville, in the past, they also enjoyed their time on the West Coast. During this period of their lives, they acquired a meticulously restored vintage getaway in the upscale Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles. This cost them $1.65 million in 2004. Comprised of 3,394 square feet, the layout boasts a two-story living room with fireplace and a formal dining room. Backyard, adorned with a trellis, includes lush lawn and citrus trees. The home was built in 1925, and was completely restored, boasting four bedrooms and three bathrooms. While spaces like the impressive living room offered espresso-colored bean ceilings and stunning stained glass windows. The kitchen kept the feel of a country cottage, with its lemon-colored walls, white cabinets and stone floors. A breakfast nook rounds out the intimate warm feel of the space, while more of the photos showcase several cozy bedrooms and bathrooms. The property here offers a detached garage with a bonus room above it, and the outdoor spaces include a luxurious stone patio with vine-covered burglar, a beautiful lawn and citrus trees, as well as dazzling views. In 2013, they decided to part ways with the property, listing it for just under $3 million and ultimately, fetching $2.5 million. It's also said that Brad and Kimberly still own a getaway in the Montecito area of California. Purchased in 2010 for $4 million, the three-bedroom Spanish-style estate spends nearly 4,000 square feet with ocean and mountain views, as well as a flowing floor plan that leads out to multiple terraces. The one-acre grounds boast two-bedroom guest houses, pool, gardens, patios and outdoor dining area. In addition to his chart-topping singles, albums and numerous accolades, Brad Paisley's commitment to his family, love for his West Virginia roots and genuine connection with his audience have solidified his legacy in the country music scene. After this house tour, we can see the warmth of his home life in Nashville and his marriage to Kimberly Williams play a big part in his story, too. Before we wrap up, answer this question for me.

This was the first day that the Yankees pitchers and catchers worked out today and every team in Major League Baseball is thinking, hey, we can win the World Series. That's what all 30 teams should think. Do you know what? The Yankees are thinking the same thing, but the Yankees are doing more than thinking it. They believe it. Manager Aaron Boone talked yesterday about how perhaps this is the year where the Yankees climb that mountaintop. So of course the $215 million question is this, how do they get to that mountaintop? Well, there's a lot of things that have to go right for the Yankees. I'm going to list a few of them right now. First of all, I think the Yankees starting rotation is underrated. I think the rotation with Severino and Paxton at the top is a 1-2 that can match up against anybody in baseball. You look at that bullpen, it's the best bullpen in Major League Baseball. I don't need to say any more. And when I start to talk about their lineup, here's a question I want to throw out to you. How many guys in their lineup could you say this guy should have a better season in 2019 than he had in 2018? I think there are a lot of them. I think you can say that about Torres and Duhar, definitely about Gary Sanchez, Stanton throw him in the mix and even Judge because he missed a lot of time. We're going to try and bring you this feature every day throughout spring training and I'm always going to end with a song. And today I'm stealing the last song that they played after the Yankees left the field today. It was Bob Marley. Is this love? Can't get much better than that. We'll see you soon.


The aim of our research was to study to what extent the current COVID-19 pandemic has an influence on public opinion and values of people in the Netherlands. Overall, we found that during the pandemic, values remained largely stable. What has changed is that government, politics and health experts received a lot of trust. People actually rallied around government, rallied around the experts to find a solution to get through the pandemic. We wanted to know how does the experience of insecurity change our opinions, change our values. But apart of that, it's also important for politics to gain legitimacy for the actions they are doing amidst the crisis. So our research contributes to having a better understanding of political legitimacy during this pandemic. Our first data collection took place in May 2020. However, the crisis unfolded so many months later. And in future research steps, we want to know to what extent does the crisis, the pandemic, has a continuing impact on public opinion and values.
