Hey, oops. Hi, good morning. Welcome to above life channel for our Monday video. Sorry. I have this turn the opposite way than I usually do. So sun is all right here. So I'm like using the natural light. How cool of me to think about that, right? But then the background is like all my personal stuff and just my nice plain background. So anyway, and I'm noticing I don't like stuff in the background. That's interesting. Let's do this. Okay, here we go. All right, you might see a crown coming out of my head because I think there's some crowns on the back. Some of my Disney stuff, that's on my bookcase. By the way, if that you're wondering some of my Disney stuff is on my bookcase. All right, okay, so good morning to you. We're gonna have a conversation about body talk today. No, I'm not inspired on above life channel by Olivia Newton-John, but maybe. Let me hear your body talk. Your body talk, right? Right? Anybody get the reference of the body talk? Okay, anyway. So let me check my sound just to make sure we're good to go here, everybody. And I am going to then start a conversation today. So yesterday, oh good, we're good to go.  And so I hope you enjoyed that. It's the last about eight, 10 minutes of that video. And it's the Sunday morning coffee from yesterday and I can't, I'm trying to remember what I called it. Don't remember off the top of my head, but it was from yesterday, what, February 4th. So this is my birthday week, by the way. Just so you know, this is my birthday week. And I'm looking forward to celebrating. Some of you might be maybe attending my private group, the inspiring psychic experience, which is on this coming Wednesday, I believe. It is on the 7th of February. Yeah, it'll be Wednesday, right? Today's the 5th. So it'll be Wednesday at 6 p.m. central time. You can join that and you can register for that. It is a paid experience, but it's super affordable. You can do that in the link below that will show up during, I wonder if I can just link that now. Let me just see if I can do that. I happen to have my scheduler open because I did make my mentoring with me live to schedule a discussion for that if people are interested in that, schedule a meeting with me to talk about that. So my mentoring is alive. I am just gonna grab the link here to the class. And I will paste it in the chat. If you're interested in joining that, let me find you all back. There we go. Hi, nice to see you in the chat. I'm just gonna paste this in here. This is how you register. This is how you register for the group, for those of you who are on the live stream. And thank you for being here on this Monday, Monday in February. Ooh, okay, my friends. And I'm double-miked today because I want to try to record part of this on my phone so I can have the audio as well because I'll be utilizing that in some of the things that are coming up for me. I'm in the process of building a website. I'm in the process of creating a monthly email newsletter type of a thing, that newsletter. It's not a song, so boring, but connection with you. And so I need some extra content to be able to share that with you. For those of you who joined that, that connection, that monthly connection that we'll have, which is nice. I want to have additional information or additional content there, additional things that you can go deeper with instead of just the same old, same old stuff. I want to make sure that it's special for you. So I'm working on that also. And yeah, all sorts of good stuff. So yumminess coming. I'm really enjoying the creative process. And I feel like myself, so I'm so happy. I'm so happy for that. Got a busy day today, got some counseling headed up this afternoon, which I highly recommend counseling. Everybody could use a really good therapist or licensed clinical social worker, in my case. And to really just support us to talk through things to help us, to help with clarity, to bond with the community. To help with clarity, to bounce back ideas off of. And then that's a lot of what I do in my intuitive life and energy coaching work is that, you know? I really do a lot of that bouncing off of and reflecting and discussing and holding space. And so I got a session for myself today and I go twice a week, by the way, just so you know. I think it's extremely healthy. And especially after what I've been through, right? Oh my goodness, oh my goodness. But it's just a good maintenance thing for everybody, honestly, if your health insurance covers it, do it. Why would you not support yourselves? This is a great way to support yourself. And that's what we're talking about this year in 2024. I'm really focusing on empathic energy and the people who are empathic. We're gonna talk all sorts of things about energy and energy management this year. We're gonna talk a lot about tools, techniques.  We're gonna have discussion about stuff. Because life affects you, it definitely affects you.  And so the truth is you impact the world, you influence. And you have so much more influence than you know you do. And so my goal is to help you be in alignment, help your energy flow in a healthy and intentional way. And we're gonna talk about intuition. We're gonna talk about all sorts of things that support you as the beautiful sensitive heart and soul being that you are this year. And so that's really what I'm dedicated to this year and devotion of. So today we're gonna talk about, we're gonna have a body talk conversation. And are we gonna get sensual? Maybe we might, although that's very early on in our relationship to get sensual, but we'll have to see how it goes this year.  How much fun can we have? I can share with you about my experience with the connection I've had with my body and the tumultuous relationship we've had. I have tried to break up with my body a few times and it does not work.  So we're gonna have body talk today. We're gonna talk about how your body is impacted by the energy and what you can do about that. And we're not gonna just focus on like disease. We will talk about that a bit. I know I have lots of you who have had different kinds of experiences and have been doing a lot of personal healing around the physical body. So maybe recovering from disease like a cancer or are dealing with like a fibromyalgia scenario or a depression or the myriad of different kinds of things. You know, maybe it's a health condition like a diabetes or high blood pressure, things like that. Whatever your situation or scenario has been or is, just know that the body is so, so powerful even though it feels like it's lesser than or weaker at times because of these unique pieces of disconnection that are present, it doesn't mean you give up on your body and it doesn't mean your body is fighting you. So let's talk about that. Some of the misunderstandings about the body and how we interpret that. Let's have that conversation. I need to get a tissue, you guys. I got a tissue, it's way over here. And I'm already hooked up. So let me just, just a second. Let me grab a tissue. I usually have them on my desk. Here, just, okay, got it. Here we go. I'm so professional. Me and my Grace webhands, there we go. All right. Hey, it's what my body wants today. So my body gets what she wants because I am in devotion. I am in a relationship with my body that is more profound than it's ever been after the experiences that I've had. And for those of you who don't know, I had open heart surgery in October 2023. Yeah, on Friday the 13th, when in that big nine hour surgery and was in between the worlds for quite some time during that time. And miraculously, I've survived. And I'm now to that place where I am really embracing all this that I've learned and sharing it because it's a lot. And so I know the body is incredible. It's incredible. Okay, so let's talk about how the misunderstanding of disease or illness in the body, okay? And that includes things like just fatigue or that naggy shoulder, like I have like a rotator cuff thing in the shoulder or a torn meniscus, like all of the ailments that I thought I had that were problems are now not such a big problem because the heart thing that's a little more like gives you perspective, let me just say. And so it's not a competition among the ailments in my body but it's this real understanding of awareness and what the ailments mean. So the misunderstanding of problems in the body or injury in the body is I think a big deal. Okay, so we misunderstand, we misinterpret what that means. It is always an opportunity to love yourself deeper, to love yourself more through compassion, okay? Anytime you get an illness or an injury, it is an opportunity to connect deeper with yourself, to show up for yourself and be kind to yourself. It shows you, it forces you into listening to your mind, hearing what really those thoughts that you have are. It's not your fault. We're all trained into this pattern, this cycle of how we talk to ourselves which is so negative. If you talk to your kid like that, oh my gosh, they would be devastated or a friend or a client, the way we talk to ourselves by thinking the thoughts that we think, it is just so sad. And no wonder why our body is so abused by us because we're so critical and so evaluative and we're taught to be black and white thinkers and to be decisive and make decisions. And sometimes with that comes this lack of human kindness and that's part of what the body needs and the body runs on that. It holds the container for compassion. And when compassion is not being utilized, it dries up. It's sad. It just goes away and it's like, oh my gosh, but you can reboot it at any time. You can turn it back on. You can regenerate that energy of compassion by just doing some things to reconnect with your body in gentle and kind ways and literally the cheesy affirmations about how great you are do help. Now you might not be able to start off with looking in the mirror and saying, I love me. Like the Louise Hayes of the world used to share with us like how to love your body and heal your body and stuff and how it used to be like that kind of thing where you just face yourself in the mirror and say, I love you, I couldn't do that. For years, there's no way I would have been able to do that. And not because I hated myself but because I would look in the mirror and then I'd start picking apart myself. And I know everybody does it. You just do, right? Or you avoid the mirrors altogether, right? Or there's always something you wish you could change. My nose is too big.  I don't know what your thing is, but you know what I'm saying, right? But the cheesy affirmations do help. They're like vitamins that help your spirit to improve the attitude, which is the mind and then kind of the overcast of what the mind can project onto the body, which really is so detrimental. It's so detrimental. So the body talk does come a lot. The negativity comes from your own mind and it comes from all the experiences you've had where you've been told or you've compared yourself to the person in the magazine or on social media and the photoshopped image of the body or you've been told by your parents or somebody that said you're getting a little chubby or oh so and so is so pretty, that kind of thing. It just makes you just start to begin to slowly lose yourself and lose that connection to your body. Your beautiful, brilliant body. It is really a gift. So the misunderstandings of disease or illness in the body is in part something that you never created in the first place. Like you didn't ask for that, but it gives you an opportunity to reconnect and recommit to yourself in a new way, in a loving way. It is really about compassion. It really, really is about compassion. It is about compassion for yourself and the way you talk to yourself. It's an opportunity to rebuild. And for me, just in my healing experience, my physical healing experience, I definitely would say that I was very impatient about how slowly it was taking me to heal. I shouldn't say slowly, but I'm so critical like even today, like I'll share this with you. If scars and stuff freak you out, then you might wanna turn away for a bit. Hello in the chat, by the way, I see you guys. I see you in the chat, nice to see you. But it looks kinda shiny right now because I just put some oils on it, but there has definitely been a challenging experience with my scar, not from a physical appearance type of a thing, but from how it feels. Because there's some bumps here because there's, again, if this is hard for you it's squeamish, then just turn off the volume for like two minutes, maybe a minute. There's metal that, because I had open heart surgery, so they literally cut open my chest. So to put it back together, there's these big wires and I can feel them.  And I can feel it, I can feel it. My skin is kinda thin anyway, like I'm not a bigger person, so my skin is kinda tight here anyway. It just always has been, and so it's very sensitive and it has been. So one of the people at, one of the therapists at cardiac rehab was like, well, do some scar massage. She told me that like a month ago, I was like, are you kidding me?  And she said, yeah, that's why you have to do it. You have to touch it. And basically the energy that comes through when I touch it is to give it love, to feel the genuine vulnerability, but also the incredible power and the strength of the ability of my skin to stretch and to grow over the wound that was there. And it's gonna take time. They told me it would take a good at least six months for all the bone to actually grow back together, maybe even longer. But, and it doesn't hurt inside. I wanna be really clear, it doesn't hurt inside, but it's just my skin is so tender and soft. And that's the top layer. That's the layer that is exposed to the light, to the cold, you know, to touch. So, the body definitely responds to the way you treat it and to the way you're thinking about it. Cause thought is energy and it's the energy you give to yourself. Thought is the energy you project out into the world. Thought is the energy that eventually can create or manifest your reality in your life. I mean, if you're familiar with Abraham Hicks and the law of attraction and all the different kinds of theories and philosophies and practices that are out there about that, the energy really does make an impact. And so you're thinking, really does. It really does. Mm-hmm. So I'm just feeling my heartbeat right now. I'm gonna invite you to do the same as you are an empath. Feel your heartbeat held in your body. That heart space is like the altar. It really is that beautiful, caring, loving, genuine space that sometimes we feel so vulnerable. We try to hide that heart. We build some walls around it or some shields of protection, but really what we're doing is isolating it into loneliness. This is a time right now where loneliness literally can make you rest. It can cause you to slow down. It can cause your joints to stiffen up. It can cause you a strong, deep sense of grief and loss which is really about you blocking yourself off from you. It really is.   I'm talking about feeling yourself, knowing yourself in this compassionate place at the sweetest, most purest form of who you are which is your heart space. That place is pure.  Maybe you've cheated. Maybe you've been manipulative. Maybe you've had toxic experiences. Maybe you've been the toxic person. This isn't about the judgment. This is about the recognition of releasing and dropping all of those masks that you've had, all of those shields of protection because that's all it is. When somebody's really toxic, it's because they've been hurt and it doesn't mean you should be with them. It just means it gives you kind of this understanding that it's really not about you.  It's that person and their pain that causes them not to be able to connect with you in the way in which you connect with people. You connect with love, you connect with wholeness, and maybe you've been that person. So it's a great opportunity right here right now to allow the energy to soften, to be more compassionate with yourself and to let maybe some forgiveness energy start to kind of come in like the curtains in the room, right? Like just kind of like the light sherry curtains, let forgiveness be like the light sherry curtains with the window open and let them flow and move at least. Let that energy wiggle of forgiveness, be present with you. Let that forgiveness come and just be present with you. And some people would call that grace. There's different layers of the energy of vibration of that. But what it means is healing for yourself. It's really about softening and being compassionate for yourself. It's about love, self-loving, not self-loathing. And it can be really hard when we're so judgmental, so evaluative. And we've heard so many other people's opinions about what we've done or what we haven't done or within ourselves, I'm not enough, all of those things. So as you feel your heart space and you allow the curtains in that beautiful room in your heart and the window to be open and the wafting of the light sherry curtains to come blow the energy. So now we're activating or using the energy of air, the element of air to help just lighten the mood in the heart space, just a little bit. You don't have to, it doesn't have to be a massive, oh, I need forgiveness, throwing yourself upon the altar and begging for forgiveness from the universe and the past stuff. It does not have to be dramatic. Okay, please, please, please, please. Let's stop with the dramatization and let's just be real in this moment and tender with yourself. Like, dear diary, I love me. I'm not sure how to love me, but I know that I do. I don't know what that means, but I'd like to explore that. And the body is what gives you the space, the safe space to do that. Again, even if there's disease, even if there's something wrong with you physically, you transcend in spirit any of the physical ailments. And in partnership with the body, you can allow the body to still have the most robust, expanded human experience because you came here to have that. You came here to experience things, to have the sensory connections to things, to understand what emotions are and how people interact in relationships and that's what it's about. It's about the experience and showing up. It's not about isolating yourself or taking yourself out of the participation. I'm like, yeah, button on my shirt again here. There we go, little chilly, I'm here. There we go. It's not about hiding. It's not about protecting yourself. So I have been reading this book, Women Who Run With the Wolves. I'm sure many of you have heard of it. It's like a 20 year old book, it's amazing. It's rock star quality, but it takes a long time to read it. I've been doing it for months and I think I'm only on chapter five. I should do something about that here. I should talk about it a little more, but in part of the book, there was this one piece that talked about us loving and how it's not about other people's capacity to love us. It's about the recognition that there already is love within ourselves. And when we meet other people and we have experiences with other people, we learn more about ourselves. And there's this one story that is about skeleton woman and how this woman, this fisherman has compassion for her and then love grows through the compassionate energy and it's just so beautiful and so just, it just really resonates for me with that feeling hollow and feeling not seen and feeling like just a body and not a whole person, body, mind, heart and soul and how she came to life because of the compassion of another. And I just, it just feels so, it feels like so much hope and possibility for everyone, quite literally for everyone. And so I think it is a really important time for us to be connected more to our bodies. As intuition, as wisdom, as wise women energy, as the grounded source, not stuck in this human form, but moving with the natural rhythm of life on this linear timeline, the body holding the energy. It gives us so much opportunity for forgiveness, for release and for expanding and changing our perspectives and our views and for growing the body. So let's get in our body, shall we? Okay, so I'm really, really, really feeling drawn to the heart space right now.  Let's kind of try to connect those two things together. Let's kind of do that today as we're starting off this week. And don't forget, if you wanna be in the eve of my birthday, the inspiring psychic experience, make sure you join that. I did put a link in the chat here and it's also going to be on the description when this video goes live, like, you know, as posted. Cause right now we're doing live stream, so. And then don't forget also that my mentoring program is up and available. So if you wanna meet with me and chat about that, you can schedule something, mm-hmm, yeah. All right, let's see. I wanna say hello to the chat quick. Gail, oh my gosh, girl, haven't seen you for a long time. Oh my gosh. Yes, I can talk more about the in-between. I can do that on my near-death experience. I was dead, actually, and it was kind of interesting. It's a very interesting experience I had, yes, and my body and understanding things in such a different way. So I did speak about that in early December of 2023, so there are some videos about that on above-life channel, so you can check those out. I should probably tag those as near-death experience because I think it'd be easier for people to find them. So maybe I'll do that, I'll make a note of that. And yes, I will definitely talk about that again in the future. It's interesting, like, fear does not help the body heal. It definitely does not. I'm just gonna say that. It's okay Nancy, nice to see you. Hi Kelly, nice to see you. East Tennessee, hi Lisa Lisa from Florida. Nice to see you my friend. Hi Rebecca. Oh, bypass surgery. You have a husband in the hospital recovering from bypass surgery. Oh, okay, here's the deal. Tell your husband, make sure your husband goes to cardiac rehab. It's covered a lot by most insurance companies.  And there's a lot of stuff that comes up for people after major surgery, especially if it's open heart surgery. You can have so much, like you have no idea, not just the depression that hits like two months after, which it does and it surprises you because at first you're like all grateful and gratitude. And then all of a sudden you're like, oh my God, why am I so depressed? Why is life so hard? Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, do I even deserve to be here? Should I even be here? Maybe I shouldn't be here. Maybe I should have stayed in the afterlife. I mean, there's all the stuff that comes through. So make sure your husband goes to cardiac rehab if it's at all possible, okay? Hi, UK, nice to see you. Thanks for popping in, KB, KB, okay. All right, so I need to record, since I've been talking this whole time and I did not record just a minute here, okay, let me see. Okay, let us record. So we're gonna do a little something, something for y'all. This'll give you a little flavor too. So like, when I do my mentoring work with people, I have it set up so like the first month that I do mentoring, it's like a flat rate like no matter like what we're doing because we do this, we meet for like, I don't know if it's 80 or 90 minutes to like create the mentoring plan. This is after the initial discussion to decide if you want to, if mentoring is a fit or not. And if it is, then we schedule something to meet, to talk about and to go through the whole plan development for creating your mentoring plan, your personal mentoring plan, because it's individualized.  It's personal, it's personal. And so then I write up all the stuff that we talked about, then we have this agreement and then we move ahead with that. But the first month we do that and you get to come to my inspiring psychic experience as my guest included in the, hey thanks for signing up and I wanna start you off on a good note here and good foot and it's not just hard work, it's expanded and interesting and curious and fun too. So we start like that. And then during that first session where we create the plan session, we're gonna do some energy activation stuff. And I'm gonna record it. It might end up being kind of a meditation, it might just be an activation, but I'm gonna record it and it's gonna be personal to the person. So I'm gonna record it during that first session at the end of our first session, I'm gonna record that and it's gonna be a keeping, to keep on the path, okay, to keep the path clear meditation or audio activation, keeping the path clear. So that then when you step into the rest of the program that you've created or you step into the next session, you have this audio that you can go back and listen to over and over and over again if you forget how you felt in that moment, what the intentions were for you, what the major obstacles or challenges felt like and how we're gonna clear those and all that stuff. So we're gonna have a keep the path clear meditation that we create in that first one and you get to keep it, it's just yours, it's personal for you. So I'm really excited about that, I think that's awesome. So right now we're gonna do something kind of like that but I'm gonna tap into the energy of the group as a whole because as an intuitive life and energy coach I definitely, I read your energy. I mean, I hope that doesn't sound creepy, I read the energy, I read the room, we'll say it that way, okay? So we're gonna do that right now and we're gonna do a sweet, sweet connection between the heart and the body because on this body talk conversation, it really feels like the body is like, hey, we already talked a lot about the mind and the thoughts and things like that so we gave you that info and that is the body actually talking or is the brain telling the body, trying to tell the body what to do and it seems like the body wants to ally with the heart. So we're gonna introduce that together today. That sounds good, huh? Who knew a BUFF LIFE channel could be so awesome? Okay, so let me just connect myself. Actually, let's move this over, hang on with me just a second, I'm gonna record this. This would be good for the email list too to have just the audio of it. Ooh, maybe I'll just hold it. Yeah, sometimes I like to hold. Okay, all right. Oh yeah, yesterday in at the last eight to 10 minutes of the Sunday morning coffee, it was a body to body, it was an energy body and human body connection thing. It was awesome, you guys. I told you in the 2024 things empaths need to know and I told you in that video last month, I told you that one of the big things was the key was the gonna be the body and so we gotta start off by really understanding what that means and what that means for you versus what it means for me, it's gonna be different and that's okay, different is just different. It's not bad, it's not good, it's not better than or less than, it's just different, it's okay. Hey, hey, hey girl, hey, let's start. Okay, so we're gonna do kind of a meditation activation if you're driving, you might not wanna listen to this.  You might wanna come back and listen to it more deeply, maybe at night before you go to bed or whatever your vibe is. All right, we're gonna begin with this connection between the body and the heart. These two allies, this has been inspired by the video from Above Life channel here on February 5th, 2023, if you want additional kind of background about this and the inspiration for this activation and meditation, you can go visit Above Life channel on YouTube and you can watch that February 5th, Monday morning video about body talk, all right. So I invite you to feel in, feel into the time that is now, to this moment, feel in, give yourself a moment to kind of take in your surroundings and acknowledge you, your body in relation to the space that you're in. If you're sitting in your office, if you're sitting in your living room, if you're standing in the kitchen, packing lunches, take a moment to notice the difference between you and your body and you in the energy of the environment you're in. Do you feel the difference there? You as the energy epicenter as the silo and the rest of the animals on the farm in the environment that you're in. Ah, there's a difference there. So let's draw your attention to the body, to that silo energy. Again, literally imagine driving down a country road and past an old farmhouse and notice the silo strong, standing tall, just very centered, just so the word that keeps coming up is strength, strong. So as you are naturally breathing, give yourself permission to soften your body, to exhale, to just breathe out, to release anything that might be stuck in the throat or the chest. Oftentimes we'll hold our energy and our air up in the top of the throat or the top of the chest. So exhale out, just exhale out. And when you do that, it forces you to take a nice breath in. And when you breathe in, you're actually breathing in from that solar plexus, from that belly button. So it's bringing that light mixed with air into the body. You feel that? That sweet connection joining in the heart space. So as you are naturally breathing, softening the shoulders, giving your physical body permission to just soft, get soft body, get soft shoulders.  Might wanna wiggle the body a little bit, soften that energy at the base of the spine at the tailbone because that's where your rich red root chakra is and it is very strong, instead fast trying to keep you in that siloed energy of strength. And so we do wanna have a little flexibility here. So let's wiggle that booty.  If you're standing, making the eggs, wiggle that booty just a little bit to soften and loosen up the energy. So it's flowing down because we want the energy to come out the tailbone when we're connecting into the body, your beautiful body, your sacred body. Oh yes, this is your vessel, your vehicle. I don't know if you're driving a 1995 Toyota or if you're driving a beautiful Bentley or maybe a cool truck or a Jeep or a Subaru. Ha, ha, ha, ha, relaxing the energy as it flows naturally and effortlessly through the body. Beautiful, it is really this simple. It is really this simple. So now with intention, let's focus on the heart space and if you want to, you can close your eyes, you can soften your eyes, you can light a little white candle and just kind of look into it if you just want something to focus on or if you have a crystal or a cup of water, just look at the water or look down at your feet. If you're sitting in your cubicle, just look down at your feet, soften the breath, soften the body. Breathe how it's comfortable for you. I know, it's cold and flu season. Some people are gonna have those sniffles. It's okay. Don't focus on what you're not and what you can't. Acknowledge the way you are showing up right now. It goes exactly as you are as you're breathing in and exhaling out. The intention here is to connect to ally the heart and the body. So if you're comfortable, you can put your hand on your heart. I know that seems weird sometimes, doesn't it? I'm just gonna be honest with y'all because I always am anyway, but I'm gonna say I used to feel weird holding my heart. Now I'm like, oh my gosh, it is the sweetest gift. And the fact that I can feel it and hear it beating very loudly because I got this little artificial valve thing, you know, it's a thing for me, but I kind of feel like right below the throat chakra is a good place. And on the collar bone, if you kind of put the pointer finger or the middle finger and the thumb on the collar bones, it seems like such a good resting place, just that even. You don't have to rest your whole hand. You can just rest that finger, that little pointer finger and that thumb on the collar bone right underneath the throat. Then you're right at the top of the heart. You're kind of holding a little halo there, a little circle there. And as you breathe in and exhale out, you're part of the flow. Your hand is part of the connection and the contact with that heart space.  Again, the word strong and strength keeps coming up here. This is part of the alchemy. This is part of the medicine that you're receiving today. Maybe you haven't been feeling so strong. You haven't been feeling so motivated lately. Or maybe you haven't felt your courage. Maybe there's something you gotta be doing that you're not doing and you're just not sure how to do it with the hand on the collar bone just above that heart space or the hand resting on the heart, bringing the heart into alignment with the strength and integrity, that energy of your life force energy that exists within you. As you breathe in and exhale out, feeling the sweet, sweet energy of your home base. Of the heart space, the room of your heart that lives within your body. If the body is your home, the heart has a beautiful room, a gorgeous room with great views, expanded views probably of the ocean or maybe the mountains or maybe both, bringing everything into unique perspective and full view and softening the energy of rigidity, of lack, of scarcity. I'm bringing you more into alignment with that water element, that flow of emotion that is hopeful and positive and inspiring to you and acknowledging if there is emotions, if there are emotions that are there that are slower to move, that are heavier, that are just too much for you to lift. It's okay. It is okay right now to let them be. Let them be. You are not your emotion. You are the body that is strong and holding space for emotion that comes for a visit like a house guest and it doesn't stay. It moves on. There's no judgment here. There just is. Emotion is information. Emotion like the water flows and moves if we allow it to. You don't have to figure it out with your brain or work through things or overthink about it. That doesn't help because the water just flows. The emotion doesn't have to become the thought and the thought does not have to be transmuted into an emotion and the body holds the space sacred for the heart. The body ensures the integrity of the structure for which the heart exists and the empathic intuition that bonds the body and the heart is transcendent. It is beyond this world. It is hard to describe because it is one that has been anointed by your spirit. The heart and the body chosen, united, brought into union by your spirit and that is something that you cannot kill, that you cannot harm, that you cannot have power over because your spirit will reign and your spirit will rejuvenate, recharge and honor your energy always and in all ways. The beautiful body, the home of the heart and in turn the heart brings a rhythm to the body that reminds it of its capacity, of the sheer pleasure of life, of the miraculous nature of the human body, totally unexplainable when it's mixed with the alchemy of the spirit and the freedom of the emotions is part of this experience, the freedom to let the emotions flow and move. You are safe here in your body. In fact, this is the safest place for your tender heart and your sweet soul. Make it, make it the most beautiful, loving, honoring relationship that you can. Feeling the heartbeat and the body, honoring the energetic connection between the heart and the body. Here and now, nice breath in and exhale out. Honoring all four aspects of who you are, body, mind, heart and soul, body, mind and spirit. Give yourself some opportunity to come back into the body if you felt very relaxed, if you're still feeling the alchemy of the medicine that came in uniquely for you, just give yourself some time to kind of feel the body. I suggest you move or wiggle a bit, let the energy move up and down the spine. One of the things that I like to do is if I'm just have stocking feet on, I rub my feet against the carpet or the earth or bare feet, I tap my feet on the earth to bring the energy into my body and to full awareness of the time that is now into the person that I am here and now into the expression of my physical and my human form that I am here and now so that you're in complete alignment. Do you got that? Great. All right, everyone. Thank you so much for being here on our Monday video chat here on Above Life channel. This has been about the body talk today. I hope you've enjoyed it.

Oh my god, the beck looks absolutely terrifying. Ooh, it's this email that's just come in. Free Ride World Tour 2020 canceled. All future events. That means verb is canceled. This season, I got invited on the Free Ride World Tour, not to compete, but to go behind the scenes and meet the athletes. It was gonna be called Face Value. First stop, Japan, to Cuba. We got on that really fast train and I did the first geography lesson. I learned some lines, went skiing with you.  Did a backflip, and we almost ended up in a river. Ordino, and I eat. Ordino, Valice. Took a few takes to get that one, right? I had to go and talk to Ari. We went shopping with Marion and she made me eat some crickets. Competition started, backflips went down, and Hank did that massive transfer. What a highlight. Free Ride is like backflips. There's that flat three from Jack. Didn't stomp it, but he was fine. Victor Deliru, he's the current World Tour Champion.  Snow conditions weren't exactly as we imagined in Japan. Usually there's a lot more snow and it's really deep. These guys are the best in the world. Those conditions did not affect them. Victor won. Evelyn did that huge backflip, crashed. She was okay. And Linus, stylish. Yo, Mike, check one too. Emma Tomahawk like crazy, but she walked away. Blake did that three through those rocks. Ari came second and I had to figure out the exchange rate. That is tough. I'll get 10. Oh, there you go. First episode, done. I went home, skied some powder, then it was off to Canada. Did some fitness, tried to keep warm, walked over that bridge, tickled the belly of the beast and dressed up in the hockey equipment. It was kicking horse. Time to get rowdy. I went skiing with Logan and met up with Craig McMorris. I'm gonna go look for Bulldog Kelly's gold. And we drank a shaft back to the brewery for more geography. India. I went skiing with Elizabeth. She hit that massive cliff and then we all did backflips. Elizabeth, Juliet. I got my arms stuck in the door. Comp time. Logan was up. He won in 2018. So he had a good chance of getting on the podium again. Good luck, Logan. All the best next time, Logan. Oh, through the bushes. Over the cliffs. Lost the ski. He was all right, though.  Marion got some rad turns and there's a 360 from Ori. Wadeck did a backflip but almost landed in that other tree. He was okay after that one. 360 from Victor. Elizabeth came third. Then we got to go home, but not for long because we're straight to Andorra. That horse was eating my jacket. More geography lessons. Ooh, I think I broke my toe doing that. I went skiing with Tana Hall, childhood hero of mine. Dream come true. I went skiing with Christopher Turdell. He's pretty good. I played tennis, mini golf, and finally football with Jess Hotter. She's a rookie on the tour.  Broke my other toe there. The comp was coming up. Isaac did a switch five off that cliff. I think that's the first one that's ever been done in the Freeride World Tour. They have Slemmet joined us after injury. The weather was deteriorating. I can't believe Christopher did his run in that kind of weather. It was snowing.  I think I'm finally working out this freeriding stuff.  And also, don't crash into rocks. A bit dizzy, but walked away, no problem. Snowboarding men was canceled there because of the weather. What a pity. Next up, Fieberbrunn. I was getting better at the presenting, but not getting better at the geography lessons. Marcus was here. He made me do a 720. He did some practice for the competition, and we waited around for the weather to clear. I went snowboarding with Nils. He was pretty good. I was pretty bad. I think I'll stick to skiing. I skied some deep powder with Nadine. We had an interview. She thought I was weird. Do you think I'm weird? Conte, blue skies. Marcus Eder is the 2019 freeride world tour overall champion. Marcus Eder had a wild card to the event and kicked things off with that huge backflip. Since he had a wild card, it meant that he put everything on the line in one run. Called three to bolts. Marcus Eder is here. Oh, that is a heartbreaker. Because Evelina, doing that huge backflip, she came out hot, crashed over those cliffs. Amazingly, she was fine. Another crash from Leo, but he walked away from that crash. Ori stomped that. She won. Next up, it was the men's snowboarding and Nils had two competitions that day because of the re-stage from Andorra because of the bad weather. His first run was really smooth. Lots of airs and some tricks. Right off the top ropes and into the fresh landing. Nils making a claim on this face today. Another 360. He walked away with first place after that one. Cody did that gap. Oh, huge! No snowboarders ever done that. There's Weezy, flat three, into the straight line over the cliffs. Key one as well. And it was onto the second run for Nils because they re-staged the Andorra event. It was on top of the podium again. Nils won two comps in one day. Next up, it was the Bec de Ross, the highlight of the Free Ride World Tour for me and also the final, but it's been cancelled. It would have been the 25th anniversary, so they're taking the current rankings from Fieberbrunn to crown the world champions. Well done, guys. I wonder what's going to happen next year. Well, now verbay is off. I'm going to have to fill my days watching the season highlights on Red Bull TV.


Hello, you are watching the International Daily Roundup by People's Dispatch and we bring you some of the major news developments from around the world, the headlines. 35 heads of state found hiding assets in tax havens in Pandora papers report. Eight killed after minister-linked convoy runs over protesting farmers in India. Bolivian movements mobilise against anti-government and racist far-right attacks. And over 2,000 carpenters go on strike for living wages and benefits in the US. In our first 23 36 politicians and officials have been found hiding wealth and assets in offshore tax havens. These findings are part of a new report by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. Dubbed the Pandora papers, it is based on a review of 11.9 million confidential files. Over 600 journalists from 150 media agencies were part of the investigation. 35 current and former heads of state and national leaders have been named. These include Jordan's King Abdullah, the second who spent allegedly $100 million on luxury homes. A major share of these were purchased after the Arab Spring protests. Lebanese Prime Minister Ajib Mikati and the governor of the central bank are also part of the report. Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, his mother and three siblings have also been listed. Members of Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan's senior circles also set to have secretly owned companies and trusts. The investigation found around 29,000 off-the-shelf companies and private trusts. South Dakota and the US has been found as the state with the largest number of such trusts. It currently has nearly $360 billion in customer assets. Some of these are linked to offshore companies or people accused of human rights abuses. Ecuador's President Guilherme Olasso and Chile's Sebastian Pinera have also been named in the report. In our next story, we go to the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. Eight people were killed after a car ran over a protest by farmers on October 3rd. The vehicle was part of a convoy in which the son of BJP Minister Ajay Mishra was traveling. They attacked four farmers and according to reports, local journalist Raman Kashyap. At least 12 to 15 other people were left severely injured. The farmers have said that the minister's son Ashish Mishra was driving one of the cars in the attack. Police have registered a report against him and 13 others on charges including murder and rioting. The joint farmer's front has also alleged that shots were fired leading to the death of one person. The massacre will be investigated by a retired high court judge. The government has said that compensation will be given to the families of the deceased and the injured. Farmers had gathered in the Lakhimpur-Kheri district on Sunday to protest three farm laws. They stood with black flags on the road where a convoy of two ministers was going to pass. It was then that they were attacked. Mobile internet services were shut down and restrictions were imposed in Lakhimpur-Kheri on Monday. Several prominent political leaders were barred from reaching the site and two were detained. Meanwhile protests condemning the killings were held across the country. We now go to Bolivia where social movements have called for a day of mobilization October 12th. Demonstrations will be held in defence of the homeland, democracy, the vifala and the government. These actions have been organised to counter the strikes called by the far-right civic committees. Former president Evo Morales has said that a mass gathering will be held in Cochabamba in a march in La Paz. The movement towards socialism party has warned of increasing right-wing attacks in Bolivia. On September 24th, right-wing protesters tore down the indigenous vifala flag in Santa Cruz. Local media also reported that social indigenous leaders were beaten up. The country's courts will now examine the racist violence and damage to a national symbol. The Bolivian government has denounced the far-right strikes as an attempt to destabilize democracy. It is also argued that it is an attempt to secure impunity for those involved in the 2019 coup and massacres. A court has extended a preventative detention of coup leader Johnny Nanez and two ministers. Nanez was arrested in March and is facing charges of terrorism, sedition, genocide and conspiracy. And for our last story, we go to the US for over 2000 carpenters in Washington's state-owned strike. They walked out on September 16th after rejecting a fourth tentative deal offered by the Association of General Contractors. The workers are represented by the Pacific Northwest Regional Council of Carpenters. The strike action was approved by a vote of 56% to 44%. Workers are demanding higher wages to keep up with rising costs of living. Other demands include better pension and healthcare coverage and stronger protection against harassment and discrimination. According to labor notes, the fourth contract included a wage increase of around $9 over four years. It also included $3.85 in pension and healthcare benefits. Fully qualified workers currently earn around $46 an hour. However, the estimated living cost in the area for an adult and three children is $58. The union and employers associations are currently holding talks on the fifth deal. Workers have accused the union of pushing a yes vote without properly supporting the strike. The strike will reportedly be suspended once a new contract is sent for ratification. That's all we have time for today. We'll be back tomorrow with more news from around the world. Until then, keep watching People's Dispatch.


Hey guys, it's Isaac. I hope you're doing well. I wanted to pop in here and I don't know, just something, God play something on my heart this week that I wanted to share with you. And it's something that I've been thinking about and thinking about tonight, it is about exactly 12 o'clock at night and my city that I live in is still locked up for the coronavirus and I can't really go anywhere. And so I've been cooped up and I've been thinking a lot about productivity. It got me thinking about you guys. Like over the last couple of weeks I've been getting some DMs and stuff like that, just like some of you guys asking me to pray for you because you're doing, you know, there's finals coming up, there's deadlines, right? And especially in this time of life, like I feel it, right? I'm 21 and I know a lot of you guys are in that same age demographic.  You're trying to figure out your life, right? And I know there's obviously a lot more pulls as you get older, like kids, family, marriages, all that stuff, but even at this age it feels like a lot, right? And a lot of us, let me just speak from my personal experience in the mornings. When I wake up, right? I'm partially self-employed and then partially I'm out of work right now because of the coronavirus. So when I wake up, my main goal is to like optimize the day as much as possible. Like I'm thinking productivity, right? Like scheduling everything so I make the most of the day and there's kind of this like, that's a good sentiment, right? And there's this veneer in front of it that this is good and this is responsible, right? But what I wanna get to the heart of in our productivity and how we approach productivity is that there's something behind that, right? We gotta understand the fuel that's fueling that productivity because at least in my life and I think based on what I've posted in the past and your guys' responses, I think it's pretty widespread that shame tends to fuel our productivity. And it does that because when we have kind of unresolved shame, right, for the non-believer, they actually do like legitimately have unresolved shame because that that shame still rests on them. They have not found a savior, the savior that will take that shame off of them. And for the believer, it's like we have yet to truly step into the reality that Jesus has already taken that shame upon himself because when we still have that shame resting on us, when we don't step into that new reality, that new identity that we are free from that shame, we feel as though we can do something to resolve it. And often that comes down to work. It comes down to productivity, like proving myself to make up, to do something to make up for what I have done. And it's this kind of never ending cycle of trying to prove myself to God and prove myself to others and gain other people's love and acceptance because there's this deep seated guilt and shame that is yet to be resolved. And I think that's the case for a lot of us. And if that, I want you to search your heart to see if that's the case for you because I think you may find, look, there's some unresolved shame here. I still feel like I need to prove myself to God. And that's what's leading me to really just like treat productivity as an idol, as if it is my savior, as if it is the delivering force that's gonna get me to the place where I can feel good about my life, where I can feel like I'm enough finally. And I think there's something that I wanted to talk about for a while in terms of like this idea of whether we are enough, right? Because within kind of Christianity as a whole, even on social media, you'll get two very different messages, right? You'll get the message like, you are not enough.  Like you are not like a worm before God, right? And then you get the message that you are enough. Like you're perfect just the way you are and you don't need to change anything and you're just great, right? And this is what I wanna say to that. In the moral sense, we are not enough. We see that in the Bible, Romans 3, 23, for all of a sudden fall short of the glory of God. We have fallen short of God's standard and we are not enough in that sense, right? But then there's another sense that I wanna reaffirm that God has, for the believer, he has invited you into his family, that he has given you a new identity. And through Christ, you are enough to accomplish what he has for you, right? And notice I said through Christ. Like this isn't absent from Christ, but it's just to say that you're not a piece of garbage, right?  Like that's not true. God wants to use you. And in that sense, he has equipped you and he has made you in his image. And he hasn't left things out there. He is going to prepare you and to provide what you need to accomplish those things. But this productivity idea that we can somehow prove ourselves to God on our own or that we can make up and really just kind of resolve the shame on our own. Like it's a really, it's just a lackluster attempt to be saved from all that is wrong within us. Because when you accomplish something, you feel good. Like I think that's by design. That's God designed that when you're productivity and you're just feeling good and excited and you feel good about yourself. Like I'm getting things done. Like this is meaningful. I'm doing something worthwhile. Like I have value because I produce something. But then when you don't, when you don't have the, you know, like today, right? I woke up today and I got up a little bit later than I wanted to. Already felt like trash. Like how could I do this?  Like whoa, like I should get up earlier. I'm wasting this time.  And that shouldn't be the case, right? Our self worth and all that shouldn't be just attached to what grade we get, what our paycheck looks like, how much we produce, all those things, all the things that we wanna do and become and who we are, that should all be an outflowing of our identity. And when our identity isn't tethered to Christ, to Jesus, to what he has done, we are on sinking sand. So whether we're trying to resolve this, this unresolved shame or guilt in our heart or trying to find some sort of sense of purpose or meaning, if our identity isn't tethered to the one who created me, I'll always be disconnected from who I'm supposed to be.  Understand this, that that work does not define you, that the results of that work do not define you, that people's perspective of that work does not define you. That is only Christ. It is only Christ who defines you. And because of that, we can approach every single situation, every task, every opportunity with joy, knowing that even if we experience negativity, rejection, all that stuff, we can handle it because our identity isn't intricately connected to those things, it's connected to Christ. And people can't shake that. They can't break that connection. They may break my connection with my work or my connection with my influence or my connection with my paycheck, but they can't break my connection with God. And that is what will sustain us. That's what I wanted to share with you guys today. I hope you found that helpful, encouraging, all that. Leave me a comment down in the comments because that's where you put comments with your thoughts on all this. I'd love to hear from you. I so enjoy getting to talk to you guys every single week. And if you wanna help support my ministry that is all dedicated to helping you follow Jesus daily, head on over to patreon.com slash daily underscore disciple. We have 25 patrons right now. The goal is to get to 50 patrons by the end of the year. And by supporting me five bucks a month, you can help me get closer to that goal. Thank you so much guys and I will see you next time. God bless.


You're welcome back. We're ready now to take the headlines from some of our national dailies. We have the Punch, the Guardian and Nature News, or the Nation, and then Nature News this morning. We're beginning with the Guardian. But first of all, I'd like to introduce to you the guest for today. He's a legal practitioner and a regular face on the breakfast show on Plus TV. Mr. Tunde Kolaule, good morning and welcome to the program. Good morning and welcome. Thanks for having me here. Yeah, we're beginning with Punch Newspaper and I'm going to take all the headlines and then we'll pick one after the other. The biggest headline there is that APC Lampoon's Attiku XVP set to submit documents in Supreme Court. That's on Tinobu's credentials. The writers are at Tinobu Attiku's journey to Chicago, Varsity. A fruitless exercise, XVP a loser, says APC. And presidents' documents released by Varsity have vindicated us. PDP insists. Okay, we also have minister Tinobu Pigs Bararabe to replace Elrify. And 100 billion Naira CNG buses, Senate rejects CBN loans. Wants Tinobu against illegal spending. 17 independent discos get licenses, 10 operational, and 23 oil blocks fail to produce crude, as according to the federal government. We also have UNDO assembly ask CJ to raise impeachment panel. And unfortunately 22 people drown as boot capsizes in Niger. Six bodies recovered already. Let's begin with Tinobu's credentials. The president's credentials that have been obtained by the former vice president, Attiku Abu Bakar, who was the presidential candidate of the People's Democratic Party. Let's hear your thoughts on them. Hello. Yeah, can you hear me? Yes, I'm hearing you. Okay. You are saying we should begin with the... The... The control of the sovereignty of the president's credentials. Yes, please. Yeah, and I want to say that I have read most of the things that were published with regards to some difficult issues. And I want to say that the more I read the more confused that that person became, it would appear the issue has taken a very, very serious partitions and direction, such that we find out why so many things are being published, either in the conventional media or in the social media. I have an idea of where fake news is not too far from us. One is behind me to pick up the distinguish which is genuine and which is not factual. For example, you have mentioned this morning what the PDP has been saying that they have been vindicated. You may also have read what Festus Guillermo said that Atticus Jordan to the U.S. to begin to look for the president's credentials or certificates and know that has been a bladder waste of time for which Atticus and the PDP should apologize. Given this, I want to say, okay, before I even arrive at my uncle, I have also read what one professor, Pero Gifaluk, who is a Nigerian professor, resident in the U.S. have published. So, given all these issues and all that, I think it might be too hasty for us to jump into a conclusion or arrive at a conclusive end that the accusation allegations that Mr. President has been proven. For example, the Chicago University itself has not been too helpful in this matter. They have said in one breath that the certificate Mr. President is holding is genuine and that they issued it. In the other matters that I have read, they have also claimed me that what was submitted to INEC, it was not what was issued to Mr. President at that point in time. Of course, there's also the controversy that, you know, that when the president was applying to the University of Chicago, some of the credentials that is submitted bore a female description and that the government college legals, which he claimed to have attended and graduated in 1976, I mean, in 1974, was actually established in 1976. So, given all these controversies and all that, I would want to say that the scenario with regard to those credentials and the unfolding that we might have to wait a little bit to really be able to get to the bottom of some of these things. But let me quickly say that no matter what the circumstances are, the controversy surrounding the certificate may not be sufficient to remove the president at the end of the day for so many reasons. One, whatever article brings back from Chicago or from the US, it will say I have to be registered with the Supreme Court. We must register the decisions and judgments and know the document that he got here in Nigeria for him to be able to use it in any Nigerian court. And you will also agree with me that the case is not before the Supreme Court. And any case before the Supreme Court, in which you haven't turned out some document at the New York Court, especially at the presidential election of Petrion Tribunal, which will certainly have an order. You have an order to cross with regards to handling those documents. One is that you have to seek leave of the Supreme Court to be able to tender any of those documents. And the leaves are never granted. Alacard, the Supreme Court will have to weigh so many things in the mail, you have to hold them, you have to convince them from the necessity to bring in documents, exhibits that are not used at the lower court to convince the Supreme Court before you can tender it in there. They can decide in their wisdom because the Supreme Court is a law unto itself. And say look, we are not accepting this, we are not granting you leave to be able to tender this. So the disposition of the panel that is going to hear the presidential election of Petrion at the Supreme Court will have a lot to do with whether that document will eventually go in or it will not go in. Secondly, when you look at Section 308 of the Nigerian Constitution, you will agree with me that the president immediately became sworn in as a president. He began to be quoted. I would describe as a softening immunity that you cannot try him on any criminal case or a law. That provision of the Constitution can see being invoked to shield the president from really trying him or wanting to use that certificate to really be able to get the president to move from office. Let me understand this today. Tunde, let me understand this. You said something about immunity and it just got me worried. So at this point where there is still litigation, there are still cases in court and Nigerians are just looking and saying, is this our president or not? You're saying that immunity clause can be invoked in such a way that nothing can happen to the president who is sitting now. So what's the point of going to the court if anybody who has been sworn in can invoke that immunity clause and then get away with anything? The law is unasked. You hardly can decide or determine on what pendulum. The decision of the courts, as well as the Supreme Court, will eventually go. I'll give you one example. Look at the Routimea Metsch's case. Imam Mboulopina Routimea Metsch, when he first became governor in River State, he didn't contest that election. It was somebody that ran for the elections and won the election. But he got a very good lawyer. Who went to the Supreme Court? Who went to the Court of Appeal and said, look, it is parties that the electorate vote for are not individual. And then the Supreme Court opened that position and allowed Routimea Metsch to become the governor of River State. When eventually the Supreme Court were being quailed, they decided to take that decision in order to send a proper signal to the non-government politicians not to begin to toy with our laws or to begin to manipulate elections. What I'm trying to draw out of this is the dysfunction of the people who we hear the lecture paper at the Supreme Court who have a lot to do with regards to what eventually became of that decision that was taken in the United States. For them, we must remember that this is not the first time that this issue of the certificate controversy is coming up. When Mr. President first became governor in Lagos State and Northern, the issue was raised. Chief Ghanifa and me, in fact, went to the courts to stop the president. I mean, to get the president removed as the governor of Lagos State. But the court in his wisdom overruled Chief Ghanifa and me. And then the president was able to continue as governor at that point in time. The Lagos State Assembly also set up a panel to look at the certificate issues. And the Lagos State Assembly cleared the president at that period in time. You must also remember that what the constitution has provided for is that you must have started up to at least equivalent of a second school level for you to be able to fight for the presidency, the governors, and some of these other elective purposes. If Mr. President has been governor, he has been senator and also contested the presidential election and won. And he has won, he has won the mobi and deloids and accounting firm and Northern with what certificate he did work in those places. What certificates did he become a senator and what have you. So, if you look at the preparedness of some of these things and know that you want to conclude that it is still money yet on creation day. And it is going to be an aculian task for anybody to rely on whatever comes back from the United States of America to remove Mr. President as the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Or even for the Supreme Court to opt on is victory by the lesion petition tribunal because under our law there is the principle of estopian. There is also the principle that if a man has been tried for one particular offense or infraction, he cannot be tried again. But that issue cannot be looked at again by the Nigerian courts. So estopian and the constitutional provisions section 177, 08 and Nora, who tend to favor Mr. President in this matter. You did say something about the reverse state election and you said that the judges there said they wanted to send a signal. I wonder what signal this Supreme Court will send. But I'd like to just on a lighter note point out the fact that from time to time we hear of lawyers who have practiced for 20 years and then they get caught just discovering that they were not lawyers in the first place. But they succeeded. They went to the courts. They defended people. They won some cases. They lost some cases. But they were not caught. They were practicing lawyers and doctors also do this kind of things. But that's not what I'm saying is happening right now, but just for a lighter mood. Okay, let's go to on-do assembly. It's still on the point, newspaper. On-do assembly insist or have instructed the CJ to set up an impeachment panel. And it gets me worried when I hear things like this from states. On-do state, they're having a problem. Someone who hold the fort for like three months for a governor, he just came back and they say he's doing, he's not loyal anymore.  It's the same thing happening. A new office for the deputy governor. The deputy governor had to go and apologize and say I made a mistake by thinking that he wanted to contest. It was a mistake. I don't know how that was. And there's a problem there. And so many other places we see this. So I'd like your comments. On-do state has made this move because the CJ has to raise this panel before they can do anything. Let me hear your comments on that. Well, I've also read that the deputy governor went to court. And I think it was one of the reasons he's in with it. As he stored the agreement procedure, I think there's a court order stopping the UNDOCRAs assembling from proceeding with the impeachment process. The truth of the matter is no matter how unpalatable a court decision is another, it will remain a court decision until it is obtained by a higher court. So the UNDOCRAs are planning a ban by the decision of following the decision which today is the prevailing decision with regard to whether the deputy governor of UNDOC can be removed or not. But I've also read where the UNDOCRAs are insisting that they are going to proceed with impeachment proceedings. And like you said, they have asked the chief judge of UNDOC state to set up a panel to look at their complaint against the deputy governor and proceed with the impeachment process. If the chief judge were to be on the side of the law, he would not constitute the panel to be the deputy governor. Knowing that there's a strategic court order stopping the UNDOCRAs assembling from proceeding with impeachment process, this provides the amount of a decision of court order on the part of the UNDOCRAs assembling, on the part of the chief judge to proceed ahead, not to go ahead with the impeachment process. But again, we must be careful. There has been instances in which, even when there's a strategic court order, the chief judge will still proceed to constitute the impeachment process. This may happen in a situation where the chief judge was partly recommended or appointed the chief judge of UNDOC state. And now that we have also seen a situation in which the chief judge disputes to constitute an impeachment panel. What has happened in Kobi state when the governor wanted to remove the deputy and the chief judge refused to constitute an impeachment panel against the deputy? Well, the bottom line for all of these things, in my humble opinion, is that the governors are not showing tolerance and nor are. They have to show tolerance in order to present this democracy. The deputy governors don't know their responsibility, the duties of their office and their lives. But the wins and caprices of the governors. Why we ask them and enjoy them? Or why they will not expect them to be liable to their principle to be governor? It does not mean they become total slaves to the governor. The deputy governors have a responsibility under the constitution. So also the governor. They are what I would describe as a kind of Siamese twins because without the governor and without the deputy. The governor himself cannot be said to meet the questionary panel to continue to, not just to state nothing, but to even win elections in the first and start.  There are all sorts of abnormalities. We are the ugly heads in the arena of politics. It is the tip dot of understate that we should not be looking at, whether it will stay with the law or it is loyalty to the governor that will call it a day. For understate. I will just repeat what I said last week. Last week that if when governor, he wanted to be governor and his own principal and friend and godfather, then he decided to frustrate or to stop him from becoming a governor. And he was able to overcome all those things. People cross-captured or changed his political party and eventually became a governor. On what moral ground is he now trying to stop his own deputy from trying to realize his political ambition to become governor of understate? It is electorate and there are so many parties in Nigeria that should decide who eventually becomes governor, not just in understate but also understate and not the governor, not the sitting governor of understate. That makes me just wonder whether this is a democracy because democracy is about the most choices and all that. Well, let's move to the nation newspaper and see some of the headlines. I will be very brief in all of these. We have agreement with organized labor to cost federal government two trillion Naira. That one is being written there. That's the boldest headlines. But I'm interested in Senate bars, new members from top positions. We also have Deftaria, FCT 18 states may bring back face mask and other stories that may also have appeared on the point. But Senate bars, new members from top positions. Let's start with that. Well, I believe you don't agree with that. Why are you convinced that experience is a very good thing? It is supposed to, or what you bring in from the experience you have had, will help a great team in assisting to discharge the responsibilities of leadership of the national assembly. But it's not sacrosan. It is not something that somebody cannot learn within a shorter period of time. That's why nobody is born speaker of House of Resentment or the Senator President. So when the national assembly begins to erect orders against new members who are coming to the national assembly, I don't think that is the best approach to give it. Whoever has the ambition to become leaders in the national assembly, having been duly elected, there should be no reason why such persons do not aspire. After all, it is the great capacity, health-wise, and the ability to learn and carry people along that should really matter. And not the donkey years of experience that have accumulated over time. Yeah, as people would say, the age of metusala is not synonymous with the wisdom or effectiveness in the discharge of the responsibilities of the life. Okay, so agreement with organized labor to cost federal government two trillion Naira. And in that story, the rider is that, let me wear my glasses, 89,100 workers likely to miss 35,000 Naira wage award. And there's also how VAT or value added tax cut on diesel will affect the economy. So let's look at this money that will cost the federal government because of the agreement raised by the labor. It's a very, very complex situation that we have in our land as a people. Why one agrees that even if the labor before the workers in Nigeria could pay 100,000 minimum wage, it was not safe enough to really take them home. Consider the high inflation that we presently have in the country. Consider the number of dependents that most people who are working in Nigeria have had to cater for and all that. Furthermore, we want to ask, where will the government get money to be able to pay these promises that the promising workers, the oil that will depend on, the money economy that has continued to sustain us, has become only a bull attack. It is no longer reliable. The prices of individual products around the world, in the world market, fluctuates on the daily basis. If by chance there's a crash in the oil revenue that we are getting, where will government be able to raise the necessary funds to be able to pay the workers what is promising them? Are we going to go back to the regime of Nigeria printing the mayor and spending the oil to pay salary? Are we going to maintain, go back to the era of going around the whole places, around the world, internally or externally, to borrow money to pay salaries? Then, certainly, paying workers, the kind of money that the government is promising them, is not only to fund inflation that we already have in our country. Furthermore, when you look at the percentage of the federal workers, the percentage of state workers, the percentage of local government workers, there are no significant percentage of the nation's population. Are we going to go back to the era? And with a large chunk of the nation's resources, we'll be used to pay workers' salaries and then the rest, used to sustain the efficacy of the Nigerian politicians. And as you are speaking, the approach that we are giving, the challenges that we have in the areas of economy, in the areas of politics, and in meeting or helping the workers to be able to live a comfortable life near the end of the day, not saddened by the purpose. The collect that it was when the government of Denayakubu government said the nation had to work money, with which it doesn't know what to do with it, decided to pay what was called back there. They withdrew the salary packages that inflation began to skyrocket in the country. And then most Nigerian workers began to embark on a matter of concentration, like that cannot be sustained, unlike that it's not based on any productive base of the Nigerian economy. Using that idea we are going back to, I will now go to start following the situation in which people will begin to consume what they have not produced. Honestly, I also look at the situation in which the government say, look, we will subsidize gas, we will provide mass transit buses and all that. When you look at all about the country today, the gas regime, electric gas, to power most of the public transportation and all that has never worked. In fact, mass transportation has never worked in Nigeria and we have been trying it over a long period of time. It is not working for so many reasons. What our laws are not built to accommodate the dream purposes that are always used for mass transit? The railway system too, as it has gotten off the ground and the river even gets off the ground, it's not going to make much difference. But they said that what we are investing in is in the locomotive railway. When around the world today it is a good trade that people are building, such as the Nigerian people now have. I will want to advise that for the government and the people, we have to linear sit down and put on some thank you cards and then navigate the land mines that we are made for ourselves as a nation. Especially in the years of the Italians. Okay, on the Guardian newspaper now, the headline is hurdles for federal government, 20-24 budget over 10 trillion Naira deficit and palliatives. Was it? Did you get that? I did, that there might be deficit of up to 10 trillion on the budget for 20-24. So what is the meaning of a deficit? Deficit is waste of means or basis for which you spend. And what is waste of means? It is merely printing money and spending it, money that are not based on any productive activities of the country.  And also making international businessmen and other countries to begin to have lack of confidence in your economy, in your currency and whatever activities that can take place within the borders of your country. And what investors' confidence is lost? Because they are using waste of means to pile our economy, they should not be expecting any investment to come from overseas, into Nigeria, within the future, simple future. Okay, let's take a final headline, it's from Nature News. And the headline there is uncovered manholes, Nigerians lament threat to lives and properties. Okay, so authorities issue 10 warnings against manhole theft. It's becoming an issue, not just manholes. Sometimes there are places that are covered, there are gutters that are covered so that vehicles can pass into a street. And you wake up in the morning, you don't find those things anymore, even when you have CCTV cameras in some places and all that. I wonder what is happening and I wonder what can be done to correct that. Manholes are increasingly becoming empty or uncovered, not that they were not covered, but now we are losing the lead to all manholes in Lagos especially. We are very strange and very peculiar people. The way the transporters are provided for our own comfort, we also go ahead and violate those and then ban the guys who are the transporters for selfish reasons and for preliminary penalty. It is not just the manhole, most of the railings are pleaded that have been provided and called in vandalism and stolen. And they just think that they are human, they are better. I think we have seen more of manholes all over Lagos and in some other parts of Medea simply because Ion has become very expensive. You need to grab a thing, you take to the market, you sell and make it out of money. And because of that reason, a lot of people are in need of this manhole and selling them. So don't you make this Ion and use it to manufacture iron ore and some other iron materials. Let's remind those who are in need in some of this thing. There is a law, a very serious law, put into the side of this thing by punishment. For those who can analyze public properties, such as the colors of manhole, such as the rings of briquettes, and some of these sort of infrastructures that have been provided for sitting in the copper. You will not believe me. One brilliant young man, some years ago, lost his life in the precarious area of the neighborhood. He was calling for the people of Lagos right now, when he suddenly ran into a manhole that had been created because the gold had been moved by satin potions and gold. Very brilliant young man, lost his life in the precarious area of the neighborhood of Lagos State. What I think we should continue to do is to be educating the people on radio, on television, those that we are doing now, in newspaper, at the public commencement, and also by the national television agency, and the need for citizens not to begin to generalize public properties. And then they gave to the security people who would be conducting descriptive investigation to know where these things are sold, where they are being moved, and where they are placed. After all, those who remove them, if they are not market for sale, then they will be discouraged from moving themselves from those things. Very true. I do hope that people or citizens will take the responsibility of policing these things because I saw a video the other day where the people will probably call Ion Condemn. We're removing these things from the road. There are covers to gutters where vehicles pass onto the street. And these Ions are very, very heavy, and so I'm sure that they will cost a lot of money selling them. But they were removing them. They removed up to like three or four of them, and somebody was making a video and couldn't shout and say, we are seeing you or something to make these people run away. So as I say, the Ion Condemn, as we call them, some of them are perpetrating these kind of things, crime and criminality everywhere. I also blame the people who see these things being done and say nothing about them. They don't report them.  They don't say anything. And these things keep happening. I think it's our collective responsibility. Right now, I'd like to just thank you to Nde Kolawole for coming on the show this morning. Thanks for having me. I would like to wish you a very happy day. Thank you very much. You too. Thank you. Okay, today Kolawole is a legal practitioner here in Lagos State, and he was talking with us on the segment we call Off the Press. We'll be back in a moment.


How does the moves that y'all made in free agency not necessarily I guess change what you do in the draft because I'm sure you have a plan But how does it solidify what you do in the draft? Well, I mean the draft is so unpredictable You've got to kind of protect yourself and we had the ability to do that as you're building depth on this team and you're building competition It does it gives you the flexibility It's probably the best way to put it where you're not Overreaching out of a need a lot of people say best player available sure, but you know Best player available if you're loaded at tight end like we feel right now Good chance. You're not gonna all sudden the board clears It may not if you feel log jammed at a position where you know I may be the highest graded player and it comes with a caveat where you may pull somebody here, but What you don't want to do is get desperate where you're pulling a guy you've got down here And then you put him with an eighth pick and then it's probably unfair that player if you trust how you've your process now You grade it so we feel really good about where we're at heading into Thursday night You feel good about where you're at and you got to look at it like you're making that pick a Then you have contingency plans and if you want to trade around you go that and that that's everybody That's kind probably everybody's going through those conversations right now leading up to this But you've got to be prepared to make that pick so we feel great again It goes back to the depth and certain positions we've added but that the quality of players to There's gonna be a very very competitive camp now. You're gonna have to do even get into the Sissons You know assuming that you don't have any major injuries gonna be a hard roster to make and that's where you want to be That's where we feel really good and get headed into the draft at any training camp the last two years of draft guys for you in 21 and 22 a Lot of value has been found and like the fifth round when it comes to kind of The group that y'all have been able to put together of the last two years What confidence does what they have done in their development give your staff? About not just identifying talent, but developing that talent. Well, I think you you know you It's a very thorough process for anybody we bring here even in the post draft They're never about a hundred percent. I mean there's something that's happening or you get to the point We're at right now where this isn't Us you know being thinking we've arrived or accomplished anything, but the numbers are what they are I mean the amount of guys we have a roster now going to the draft and we've had the last couple a couple years Just some of that out of necessity where we were with the roster with the salary cap It's going to be a hard competition And hard, you know, there'll be really hard decisions making that 53 so She's going you're trying to bring it bring guys in here and you want to make sure that has a fair shot Whether they're what I like to call the eighth round pick which is the poster after they're a third round pick That guy in the eighth round is the best player. I understand the investment in the third round But then you've got to weigh that you've got to you got to be true to what you what you believe in and the best player It needs need to play here and it keeps everybody You know motivated and and that competition brings out the best sense and the other thing is yeah Just because we hit maybe in a certain area in twenty one or twenty two and Gives you confidence, but you never can get complacent thinking just because hey We hit in twenty one a certain spot or twenty two that we've got all the answers because you don't and we're also looking at our process Even our development process, you know as things change and players would bring in here You never want to do that. You never want to get arrogant. You never want to get complacent


The second leading cause of death among America's children is suicide. It's a national crisis, it's a statewide crisis, and it's a crisis right here in Boulder County. There's one organization, one non-profit, dedicated to doing something about this in Boulder County to reduce incidences of suicide. It's Rise Against Suicide. They're going to join me on August 28th for the next episode of The Back Story. I hope you will join us here in the Long Month Public Media Studios at 6 p.m. to hear their story, to learn more about what they're doing and what we can do to help to reduce the likelihood that we see this crisis continue in Boulder County. Join me Tim Waters on August 28th at 6 p.m. in the Long Month Public Media Studios.


Hello, everybody. Andrea Maesky here with Dental L Mobile Hygiene. So let's talk about the differences of the sensitivity to pastes on the market.  That is the first thing to do and the easiest thing to do to help your teeth against the sensitivity. But you also have to know why the teeth are sensitive in the first place. Is it because you were brushing too hard for a number of years where a portion of the enamel has been taken off and the second layer of your tooth is now exposed? Or is it because you are still brushing too hard so that protective layer that comes back doesn't have a chance to really form? Is it because you haven't had your teeth cleaned in 10 years where the inflammation around the teeth is causing things to be sensitive? So there's many different reasons even if you clench your teeth at nighttime, that could be making the teeth very very sensitive and a toothpaste won't help you. So you do have to know why your teeth are sensitive and if you don't know your dental hygienists can help you with that. But not all toothpaste are the same for sensitivity. What I want you guys all to look out for it if you are buying a sensitivity type of toothpaste is look for the key ingredient called potassium nitrate. So I'll say it again. Potassium nitrate that is the key ingredient that you want and not all toothpaste have it. Even if a toothpaste claims to help with sensitivity, if it doesn't contain potassium nitrate, it won't do much. It might still help, but it's not the best kind to get. You know, it's kind of like Darn, I can't really think of an example. Well, I kind of can. There are many different toothbrushes right out there on the market. If you get a toothbrush that falls apart, well, it's not really a very good toothbrush. Is it? You might have a toothbrush, but if it's, you know, a hard toothbrush that might just fall apart, well, that's not helping you. You want to get a soft toothbrush to really do the best, if that makes sense. Horrible example, but you know, so not all sensitivity types of toothpaste are equal to the same. I'm not going to mention names, but my, the ones that I prefer for my my patients would be either the sensitine, that's my favorite, or the Colgate Sensitive. Okay, so either the sensitine or the Colgate Sensitive, those ones include potassium nitrate in it, among other things too, but you want that key ingredient because what potassium nitrate actually does is we have nerves inside our teeth. Those nerves have what's called tubules that lead to those nerves. Some toothpaste out there just simply cover up those tubules. And the toothpaste works, but not long term. Whereas with potassium nitrate, those toothpaste help to cover up the tubules and help to seal them off. So they will actually close up those tubules. When the tubules are open, that's what causes the sensitivity. So does that make sense? So that's why it's so important to get the right toothpaste. I like Sensonite and Colgate Sensitive. Those are the best ones from what I've seen for my patients because they contain potassium nitrate. And if you're going to switch the toothpaste, you might as well get the right one, or it won't help you. And the key is to brush every day twice a day for a good two minutes. If your teeth are really, really sensitive, I do also tell my patients with a Q-tip or your finger, take some of that toothpaste off at night time and just sort of like put it on your teeth that are the most sensitive.   And that will help that protective layer sort of come up even quicker. And that is what you want. So I hope this helped answer some questions about sensitivity. If you guys have any questions, let me know. And thank you so much for watching.

Have a terrific Thursday and we'll see you soon.


Welcome to the ITU studio we are in the world, Telecommunications Development Conference in Kigali. We have the pleasure to welcome Mr. Michael Wilms, the partner and director of Boston Consulting Group, here, Kingdom of the Netherlands. Welcome in the studio. Thank you very much. Why did BCG decide to become a partner to connect knowledge partners? Well, we've identified already quite some time ago that digital inclusion is essential for the benefit of the world global. And we've been working on that topic already for five, six years now. And obviously during the pandemic we've seen even more how important it is that everybody can be connected. And we've all seen pictures of school kids gathering on playgrounds or parking lots, trying to still follow the lessons of their teachers. So we decided it's essential for us to mobilize our resources and try and help on this massive challenge. So when we were in contact with Doreen and her staff around the setup of PTC we were immediately enthusiastic and wanted to ensure that we could help in whichever way we could. Yes. And would you please tell us what has in your view been the driver of success of PTC so far? Yeah, I think as was clearly announced today, the phase of PTC so far has been a huge success, well over 350 pledges representing over 15 billion or so of dollars in value. In my view the success of PTC is for sure that we've been able to mobilize a very wide community including states but also private sector civil society. And over the course of the last nine months have been able to identify which specific areas in the four focus areas require support. And also communicate quite clearly to all of the participants in the coalition what is needed to drive things forward. And the breadth of focus areas also ensures that everybody can contribute something. You don't have to be a telco and only invest in base stations, sort of there's opportunities to invest in digital skills, in local language content, in driving digital ecosystems, etc. I think the realization that on the one hand the challenge is so broad but also mobilizing a wide range of organizations that can help in solving the breadth of that challenge is the key driver of success. Yes, and PTC has been a great success so far. What will drive success for PTC going forward? Yeah, obviously the real challenge only begins now. We have the pledges but now we need to connect 2.9 billion people who are currently unconnected which is still a huge challenge. To make sure that we get the biggest bang out of all of these pledges I think it's now essential to ensure not only that the pledges get implemented with all of the monitoring and tracking that's associated with that but also that we keep the community alive to ensure that we keep the pledges targeted and coordinated on where they mean or going to have the most impact. Do you have any specific message for the viewers after all of this? Well, I'd say maybe two things, if you haven't pledged yet please do so. Second, obviously if you have pledged sort of don't think that it's enough to just execute your pledge within your own sort of organization. Let's keep the windows open, keep the coordination and the collaboration flowing and ensure that we together can also adjust to see where the need is greatest and then focus the effort there. Thank you very much for your time. You're more than welcome. Thank you very much.


So this is the control on the bridge and we have a couple of officers that will control the ship. Very young officers just out of college. Yeah, we have a radar out of here. Is this a ship radar? It is. What about... I feel like Captain Kirk. Oh, Captain Kirk.
