I hate myself. I hate myself for having this disability. I hate myself for who I am. I think that I'm bad. I think that I'm guilty and broken. I feel so much pain in my body. I went after that with emotional healing, subconscious healing, and then energetic healing. And when I finally started to love myself again, all the pain went away in my body. That pain is teaching you something.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
I love everything that you said. That's why I wanted to be on this podcast, because you take the coaching to the next level with the practical and the spiritual. And I agree 100%. Entanglement is a quantum physics... term that's based on a research test that they did that combined two protons, I believe it was, and they became entangled.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
When they split the protons and moved them to various distances apart, they would test to see if they stimulated one with the other react. And although they were no longer entangled, they were separate, they would stimulate one, the other would react. And not only in the same room, miles apart.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And so we believe that we are separate in this world, that you and I are separate, that we are separate from our joy, the energy of happiness, from the money we want. We believe that we're separate from all these things that we have to strive to go get it. And this idea of the law of entanglement or just entanglement from quantum physics is that perhaps we're not as separate as we think.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
At the very core of what we are, we're energy, all the way down from our cells to atoms. And atoms are made up of energy. And that energy is free-floating. So basically, we're just kind of put together by energy into this body. And that energy exists everywhere in the world. It's putting together everything else. So I always explain it as a sheet. So have you ever seen the movie I Heart Huckabees?
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
All right, everybody, if you haven't seen Night Heart, Heart Puckabees, it's like Dustin Hoffman and Mark Wahlberg. You have to see it. Anyway, Dustin Hoffman puts a sheet over onto his two hands, and he pokes his fingers up. He's like, this is you, and this is a treat. And here are the two things in the sheet, right?
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And he has fingers poking up out of the sheet, and he's like, are they separate or are they one? And we start to think that they're separate, but really the sheet is connecting all of us. And that is this idea of the quantum or spirit or God or whatever we want to call it. And that we are entangled in just about everything. And so when we stimulate one thing, another thing reacts.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And that is kind of the lesson of life.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
Yeah, I love diving right in. We're going deep quickly, right?
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
Something very specific around getting over the pain that you're in. is to recognize that this is not happening to you. There isn't some benevolent force that you've done something wrong and you're being punished, right? That this could potentially not only be happening for you, but through you, as you.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
to learn something that either now or in the future can be used for you or to help someone else. And so know that you didn't do it wrong. One way or another, sometimes I say you'll survive, but maybe you won't, right? But that's okay. You'll wake up into spirit as well. There is one way or another, this is for you in a sense of if you believe that our energy never dies,
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
That's how I like it too. So, okay, you're in the perfect place at the perfect time. It may not feel perfect, right? Because it couldn't be any other time. It couldn't be any other place or else you'd be there. And therefore, you are exactly where you need to be. And even if it's painful, right?
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
is destroyed and so it's neither created or destroyed, it just always is. That means that we have always existed and we always will. And so if you believe in my man, Brian Weiss, which is many lives, many masters and many others that say that as a soul, we become higher evolved. That means that as a soul, an energy that always existed has decided to come here and have this human experience.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And therefore, it decided to experience the tests that we have. And those tests sometimes are painful, but they're also beautiful. There's also beauty in there. So rest assured that it's by design that your soul may have chosen to have this terrible breakup so it could feel the pain.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
So that you could either learn something and grow when you're returned to that spirit or just so you could feel pain.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
A lot of us are experiencing a lot of pain, whether we start to think that we've done something wrong and it's not right. And therefore, we start to either feel guilty or shameful or something happening. We're like, this shouldn't be happening to me because I shouldn't experience this illness or this breakup or this financial crush. And how could I be at the perfect place at the perfect time?
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
I love that. And so we're taking it from this. And what I do in all my groups and in my own coaching practice and through hypnotherapy and everything that I do is we marry the practical, like the human side, with this idea of spirit. We are the I am. We are the ocean in the drop of spirit. of rain and we are the drop of rain in the ocean. We are the creator. Okay.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
So now we've come down and it's time to have this practical experience as human beings. So all you have to really do to know that you can switch out of that feeling of pain of the breakup or other things is yeah, feel it for a second for your 90 seconds. I love, um, that, that idea and that study of research that shows that if you feel it, then you can let it go. And then know that
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
you can shift into any other feeling that you ever wanted. by just remembering a time or imagining. And if you want to get there faster, eat a food that made you really happy that you had the best time with friends with. And as soon as you eat that food, it will hit you on all the senses and bring back the endorphins and the happiness of that.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
It will remind you of the smell, the place, the time, the taste, and the people around you. And you can start to see that you can shift into different emotions really quickly.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
Our subconscious mind is controlling 95% of all things, right? And I could cut open your body and even in your brain, you can see the front cortex, you can see all the different parts of your brain and be like, where's the subconscious mind? You know, it is our... our autonomic nervous system.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
It's the thing that allows us to regulate our breathing and our temperature and to even have reflexes and to do all those things. There are beliefs and our emotions and our feelings, all those things that we don't have control of that are our operating system. It's the subconscious mind. And so we have this conscious mind that thinks it's in control.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
But the programming and the parts of our subconscious mind is what's really directing it. Now, we can use our conscious mind to say, I want to consciously start to change my subconscious mind. And I'm going to go into a deeper state of focus. to be able to do that. And a deeper state of focus to be able to do that is hypnosis.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And we go into a deeper state of focus quite often, or we go into a trance, you know, when you're driving and you get deep focus of thought and you don't remember where the road, like, how did I just go five miles on the highway? But you were thinking about something.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
So, or some people go for a run and they have the best ideas, or even when you're taking a really hot shower and you get out of there and you're like, bingo, I got it. It came to me. It's, I channeled it, it sourced it. It's just like you got into a trance state and your mind was able to have a deeper sense of focus and change.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
People came at me when I gave that TED Talk. And I'm like, guess what? Because you can't be anywhere else. And so this is the perfect place at the perfect time, even if it doesn't feel perfect, because that pain is teaching you something. It's bringing you somewhere. It's something, your higher self, your soul, that connection. You are the energy of the universe, and it needs to learn something.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And so with hypnosis and another thing that I practice is NLP, neuro-linguistic programming, and Psyc-K, which is psychology, kinesiology. And so you can start to change really effectively find and change really effectively these beliefs that you have, the programs that are creating a reality. And so a lot of people say, well, is this stuff mind control?
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And my answer is yes, absolutely, it's mind control.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
Yes. So there are a number of things. One, you can reduce your anxiety very quickly. You can start to speak to your higher self very quickly because sometimes it's like, what is my connection to spirit? How do I connect with spirit, higher self, the one that's always listening and watching the conscious awareness? You can start to get your mind and body to work together.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And there are a lot of different ways that you can use self-hypnosis, even by counting down so that you can start to put yourself into your own trance state. But just by – if I was to ask you, I have a really ripe lemon and I'm going to cut this lemon in half and squeeze this super juicy sour juice out. And now I really want you to first smell how citrusy this is and then –
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
take a bite of this really, really ripe sour, sour, sour lemon, like super pucker sour. And do you already start to feel like your mouth watering a little bit?
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
All right, so this is the power of your mind. Your imagination is as real to your body as reality is. And so we can start to get into a self-hypnosis where you're just literally imagining the best outcome. or imagining you're speaking to your highest power, or imagining that your body is healthy. And you can count yourself down. With each breath, you can count down from five to one.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
With each breath going down, imagine you're walking down with your eyes closed and you feel your breath. Imagine you're walking down a flight of stairs. There's 10 stairs. And just close your eyes and imagine you're walking down from 10 to one. First on the first step, 10. Going down a little bit deeper. Nine. Feeling your breath and your shoulders even relaxing a little bit.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And then have your most subtle voice, the voice of your higher power, just come in a little bit. Eight. Seven. Six. All the way down. Five. Walking down the stairs. Four. Three. Two. One, down here in your relaxed state as you feel the breathing, your voice of the higher power gets a little bit louder, a little bit more clear. It's the loving voice that can be aware of all things.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And here, this voice has messages for you. And if you can just notice those messages, notice the ease of them. And now also down here, you may want to speak to your body. Imagine, visualize, or see that it's working properly. There's no pain. Or even imagine that you're floating. And as you float in the most comfortable place, your body can just relax.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
So if you're in a pool of water and you have no weight, you're just buoyant. Any pain in your neck or shoulders can just go away in buoyancy. even in your lower back may just feel at ease. And then you can come right back up one, two, three, four and five and your eyes open and you realize that the voice in your head can bring you there anytime that you want. And if you have pain,
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
You do that three or four times. You first say, oh boy, my pain's at a 10. You do that three or four times, counting down from 10 to one, going into a place of floating and buoyancy, speaking to your mind, allowing your muscles to relax, speaking to your higher power, receiving messages of love. And then you come back up and say, oh, okay, my pain is at a five. And then you do it again.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
Same with breakup pain. Guess what? That heartache because you haven't received the text message back. Yeah. Do they like me? They haven't texted me.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
It's bringing you somewhere. Whatever happens, it's going to be all right. Even if the worst thing happens, you're going to make it through. And so just allowing yourself to do that settles the inflammation in your mind, which lowers the inflammation in your body. We feel disconnected from our higher self. And that's what's bringing in so much fear.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
We do something really wonderful. This is quantum leaping and quantum identity change. Because our whole reality is based on who we think we are. And that is an imagined belief, right? It's a belief that's supported, and then we find evidence to confirm that it's true, our confirmation bias.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And so if we want different in our lives, we have to actually see what our identity is now, what our ego wants to protect with fear of change, and then what identity we want. And so how do you quantum shift into a new identity that can have that? And that's exactly what you were saying. There's another thing. I watched a video of yours.

Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
You were, many years ago before you were married, you were dating a shaman.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
You were dating a tantric man. Yeah, yeah. Many years ago, you were dating a tantric man. And you would have these feelings of love when you weren't there. And then when you realized that you weren't with them, him, and that feeling of connection and love would go away. And then you were like, oh, if I can have this...
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
and he's not here and then my mind takes it away, then I can easily get it back again. And that is kind of the power of, of the state of the transit of the hypnotic state of just shifting emotions.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
Yes. Yes. It's the second part of it. There's a little bit of, you know, trust the process and it's earth school. And guess what? The curriculum is difficult.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And I'm actually trying now. Here's where in the next phase of my healing, I'm trying to step into the identity of a person that doesn't walk with a limp.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
Yes.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
So all the studies that have shown that people with multiple personalities, some of the personalities, I forget the name of the study, but some of the personalities will have diabetes and some of the personalities won't. One personality was blind and the other personality wasn't. And so what is the personality that I need to, the identity that I need to take on to 100% change my physical body?
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
Because I've been able to change my identity a number of times. And now I am, that's what I'm playing with next. And also with quantum energy. So within the trance state, within the theta state of our brainwaves, we can actually feel and experience the energy of what we believe is the quantum. And so if that is the creation of all energy,
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
and I can step into a new quantum identity, then that would say that I wouldn't have a physical issue. And so that's what I'm playing with and practicing now, but that's my next frontier.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
Right. It's not toxic positivity or like, yes, we can't feel bad at all. We can, you know, I agree that if the, I did this for many years and I see many of my clients do it, the more that you push down your fear and anger and sadness, you know, the more stagnant it becomes and the worse you get. So feel it, let it out, release it. However,
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
if you focus on the outcome you want instead of the issues you have, or you focus more on what you do have instead of what's missing or basic, just saying it very bluntly and be grateful, you know, your life, you know, your life will dramatically change. And is that enough? Yeah. In many cases it is.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
So to get into a higher vibrational state, perhaps you just two things really, and it's become so cliche, but I'm not sure everybody does it. And it's, It's just, you know, there's a lot of videos on it, but I'm not sure everybody's doing it. And it's like, how can you be insanely grateful for what you have? Like, I wasn't grateful for a long time.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
Now I'm grateful that I can walk instead of being upset that I walk with a limp. God bless this beautiful body that's still up and walking. And now from this place of abundance and gratitude, I can say, where can I take it next? The high vibrational state. So like really being grateful for what you have.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And then focusing on the goal, focusing not on the issue, not on the obstacle to your goal, focusing on the excitement of achieving your goal. And that will just automatically raise the frequency and vibration of it.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
First, we have to really cultivate the awareness, right, that this is happening as a synchronicity, even if it is or when we're not in synchronicity. So Carl Jung said that synchronicities were unrelatable things that happen basically by chance but seem to be lining up. That's not the exact paraphrasing.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
I'm going to do it with you. Okay, cool.

Let's do the yellow butterfly.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
The yellow butterfly manifestation challenge. We're also going to say, I'm so grateful for all these gorgeous yellow butterflies that are showing up in my life. And then right. The last thing that we'll write in the journal is thank you for showing me all of the yellow butterflies. And then when we wake up in the morning,
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
We're gonna then be thankful for all the yellow butterflies, and then we'll ask the question, I wonder where I will see a yellow butterfly today. And let us know when they all come streaming in. And some people will say, I'm it's dead winter here. There's no yellow butterflies. And I'm like, are you sure about that?
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
Are you sure about that? Because you're going to, you, if you say, I wonder where I will see a yellow butterfly, then let us know when that manifestation happens.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
I wish I could quote like that. But these things that happen, I would say, what are the synchronicities that are happening? Let's be aware of them. Let's look around. And the only way you can really see them is to be present. And so present in this moment, this is happening. And I always feel like the synchronicities in my life are really simple things.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
Yes, yes, I agree.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
The recognition of where fear is coming from.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
The recognition of what fear is and where it's coming from and the opposite of fear, what that is. First, the awareness of what fear is. And first, the awareness of everything when we're in a place of scarcity or even pain or anxiety. It's all fear. It's fear we're not good enough. Fear that it's not going to work out. Fear we won't be loved. Fear that the future will be painful.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
and that we won't be able to handle it. All going back to like one key thing is fear that we're not enough, not enough love for love from all those things. And so this fear lives squarely in our beliefs and our ego. And so neither of those things are real. If I open you up and like surgically open you up,
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
I won't find any of those beliefs, any of the fear, I won't find the ego, I won't find anything within you. They're a construct of our imagination, our mind, our creation. So we are creating our future based on the fear that we feel now that is a construct of our past. And so if we recognize what is our true nature when we feel absolutely calm, And our true nature is the opposite of fear.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
When we connect to that higher power, if anybody did the little guided imagery self-hypnosis tool, they probably felt a little shining inkling of the opposite of fear, which is a connection to a higher power, which is love. And the truth is that we are love. We are absolutely love and that we can connect. heal our fear with love, with more love, more self-love, not external love, more self-love.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And sometimes I simplify it so much so that if I didn't hit traffic and there's a parking spot out front and I walk in on time with ease, They're like, I'm meant to be there. That's something as simple as that.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
Yeah. Beautifully said.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
I helped develop and lead some of the largest companies in the world for health and wellness, from WebMD to Everyday Health to the What to Expect When You're Expecting, the pregnancy book, to Jillian Michaels, to Remedy Health Media, the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, IIN. And along that journey, I really found myself, meaning I was not always a good leader. not at all.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
I found myself impatient, egoic, fearful, and I would see how I was doing based on how people were reacting to me. And I felt I had to be strong. And so I began to develop my own practice based on kind of learning through leading those examples. And so it wasn't always pretty, and it's not always, but sometimes it has to be messy so that you can come out on the other side.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And what I've learned is that As to be incredible conscious leaders, to be really successful in business, to build businesses that are $100, $200 million or IPO or get purchased for $200 million like many of the businesses that I helped lead were, you have to really believe that it can happen.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And you don't make it happen by living in scarcity, meaning often we become obsessed with the issues that we have to overcome and we lose focus of the vision and what we want and why we're doing it. So we have to know the why. You have to know the vision. You have to believe that you can. And that sometimes is the biggest obstacle that you can overcome. But
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
But as it gets more developed, you can start to listen to your body because your body and your subconscious mind is the first thing that's going to recognize the synchronicity because it already knows when it's in alignment. And so if you're trying to make a decision and you're kind of out here looking for the signs, like, where's my sign? Where's the crow flying? And there's an eagle at dawn.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
Perhaps that is just overcome by, even if you don't believe it, still going for the bigger thing. Many times I'd see with salespeople, they wouldn't ask for money. They would have real trouble asking for money. And the best salespeople are like, I'll ask for $2 million for this product and it doesn't matter if I get it or not.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
But others would be so afraid to ask for a large sum of money because they felt they weren't worth it. And we had to work through like, you're providing a service. If If Coca-Cola can make billions of dollars a year with a liquid that literally takes rust off pipes, then you can provide health information or be a coach and ask for a great amount of money. You're worth it. You're doing good.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And so we'd start to switch. So there's a lot that goes into it, but most of it is making sure that you hold a vision, realizing your why.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
Undoing some of those scarcity fears that keep you from your ultimate potential and then really taking an action step every day to make it happen so that you are in flow with your highest self as opposed to worrying and fear and ego of believing that maybe you're not good enough.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
What I want people to walk away with most, whether it's by reading my books, stimuli or shift or joining one of my groups, is that once we lower the inflammation in our hearts and our minds, everything gets easier. You can connect more. So we feel disconnected from our higher self. And that's what's bringing in so much fear.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
We're living within the ego, within this identity, within the programs that we've created. And once we kind of lower the friction of that and emotionally regulate, you can overcome any obstacle. And the obstacles no longer become obstacles. They become challenges. And the anxiety doesn't become anxiety. It becomes excitement. And there is just a small shift.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
You're a small shift away from everything that you do to make it an exciting life that is in alignment versus a life of struggle that things are happening to you. And you can do that. You're literally a few small shifts away.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
It's the synchronicity. Instead, just listen to your body. And if it feels like it's in alignment, then you're in the right direction.

Just to start out, anybody that is dealing with an undiagnosed illness, I feel you. Or it hasn't been diagnosed yet or you're trying to figure it out, I feel you. And the first thing that really comes up is fear and uncertainty. All we want to be is certain in life. We have the subconscious knowledge. We're going to die and we don't know when. So it's already fear.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
So we're looking constantly for certainty, for certainty, certainty. How can we find certainty? So anytime that something's uncertain in relationships like inconsistency, dating is really hard, we just want to know. We want a certain amount of uncertainty, but then we want the certainty.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
We're living within the programs that we've created. And once we kind of lower the friction of that and emotionally regulate, you can overcome any obstacle. You're a small shift away from everything that you do. to make it an exciting life that is in alignment versus a life of struggle that things are happening to you.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
So if you have an illness that has been undiagnosed and it's bringing up a lot of anxiety and fear, it's because you don't know what's going to happen. People often say, I wish I just knew that I had cancer because I wouldn't have to try to figure it out anymore. It would be it and I'd know the next steps regardless of what they were.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And so settling the anxiety and knowing that we can be comfortable in the uncertainty and knowing that whatever happens, it's going to be all right. It's going to be all right. Even if the worst thing happens, you're going to make it through. And so just allowing yourself to do that settles the inflammation in your mind, which lowers the inflammation in your body.

And I learned this firsthand because when I was younger, I woke up one day and I couldn't feel the shower on my left foot. I couldn't feel the hot water on my foot. And I was like, that's really strange. And I ignored it. And that numbness started to move up my leg. And it was moving up really rapidly. And so at that time, you know, whatever young man does when he gets, you know,

Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
very quickly and shockingly ill, I called my mother. I said, you know, this is happening. My mother was an ER nurse. She worked with trauma victims at Boston City Hospital. So she was getting like gunshot wounds on the daily. And she was cool as a cucumber, Irish Catholic from Boston, like did not get rattled. And she, I could, she was concerned.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And I didn't know what that meant other than there was an issue. And so I went in and got MRIs and everything. And at that time, MRIs just of your spine that now take 30 minutes took like three, four hours. And so I'm in this MRI machine just trying to figure it out. And it turned out there was a lesion on my spinal cord. And it was growing. Every time I'd get one, it was growing.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And we couldn't figure out what it was from. We did every test. I went all around the world. And it was growing and growing and growing. And I was getting worse and worse and worse. More pain, more illness, more numbness, walking with a limp, not being able to walk until finally I woke up and I couldn't walk at all. This is what happened. I had an identity change.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And my identity as a really strong body first macho man had to change. And now I needed to step into vulnerability and I needed help. And my identity started to change. And I went around the world. I even wrote a book on this called The Stimulati Experience.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
I went around the world seeking out both medical healers and spiritual healers, shaman, grandmasters of Kung Fu, Ecuadorian healers all over the world. And what I started to realize is that we are much bigger than our bodies, right? We are much bigger than our illnesses, our problems. We are far greater. And we are an energy that never, it's always persists. It's never removed.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
Something very specific around getting over the pain that you're in is to recognize that
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
You know, when our bodies die, this energy will still be there. It's beneath everything. It makes up everything. We are not a body. We are a spirit in a body. And so as I started to kind of get my head around this and go to these healers, I started to realize that I had some real pain and trauma that was creating a really difficult life.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And if you believe that, the pain and trauma was not only from this life, but it was from past lives. And I even got to work with Brian Weiss, Many Lives, Many Masters, who kind of kicked me off into hypnosis. And so it got worse before it got better. But what I finally came to is that I could love and accept myself, whether I was dying or whether I would never walk again.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
Or I was completely healthy. And no matter what happened, I'd be confident enough to know that it's one way or another it's going to work out. And so I was now walking again. So I got myself to a place where I was walking again. through a combination of Western and Eastern medicine, but I was walking with a really bad limp, and I could only walk a block or two. And I had so much pain in my body.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
So that was the next step in my healing. So I had to focus. Okay, what is it that I'm shaming myself for, that I hate myself for, that I move away from anybody with a physical diffusibility? I want to get so far away from them. Um, or if you're ill, if you have cancer or whatever it is, I want to get so far away from you. What is it about me that that's happening?
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
It's like, oh, you know, I hate myself. I hate myself for having this disability. I hate myself for who I am. I think that I'm bad. I think that I'm guilty and broken. I feel so much pain in my body. And so I went after that. I went after that with emotional healing, subconscious healing, and then energetic healing.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And when I finally started to love myself again and realized that whether I walked with a limp or not didn't matter, guess what? All the pain went away in my body. And I still walk with a limp. I have no pain. No pain in my body. If I see you on the street and you're walking with a limp, I go out of my way to get to you. This guy dropped off a car for me in L.A. because I'm staying in L.A.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
And he wasn't in the same place as I was. But he walked up to me and he was walking with the same kind of limp I had. Exactly the same. I knew it was a foot drop. I knew it was wrong. I'm like, what? Buddy, how are you? What's happening? We walked the same. What happened to you? He's like, oh, I jumped into a pool. And he was not happy to talk about it. And I just wanted to give him such a hug.
Healing + Human Potential
Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
I immediately fell in love with this guy and gave me the car and left. And I was like, oh, maybe I went a little too far with him. But I loved him so much. And I was like, oh, I've really reached a place where now I can help the world. And I know that you can reduce your pain, anybody listening, by first recognizing that you're not wrong and that if you're in pain, that's okay.

Yes, I did have more mobility through the acceptance, right? What I realized is that when I was inflamed in my mind and heart, When I had inflammation of my mind and heart and not physical heart and not my brain. When I had fear, trauma, sadness, self-loathing, I had a relationship with a woman that was really a difficult relationship. And whenever we would get into a fight, I couldn't walk.

Using Pain and Struggle as Your Greatest Strength - with Jim Curtis | EP 79
Literally couldn't walk. I'd go right back. I wouldn't be able to walk. And I realized that when I was healthy in my relationships with myself and with other people, I lowered the inflammation of my mind and my heart, that literally my pain would go away and I would be 10 times more mobile. And then I would start to exercise.

It happened quickly, quicker than that. And anybody that's undiagnosed will understand this because people, you know, when you, it's almost like you want, when you're undiagnosed with an illness, you want, you're looking so hard for the cancer. You want the, you want to put your finger on it.

Tell me, give it a name. Because when you give it a name, you can heal it. When it's undiagnosed, you're like, okay, every day is anxiety. I'm searching, I'm searching, I'm searching. So just I woke up one day and I went into the shower and I couldn't feel my left foot. And it began to, you know, move up my leg. And I went to get an MRI.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And when I got that MRI, it showed that I had a tumor or lesion on my spinal cord. And I didn't know where it was from. And then slowly it got worse. It started moving up to my waist. And then the numbness. The numbness. Oh, wow. And then my legs started to get weaker. And then the pain set in.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
you know, we have this intricate wiring in our body. And so the nerves were obstructed, so it's nerve pain. And then all of a sudden you're walking differently. And so like now you're thrown off. And so it's like back pain. Now you're out of alignment and your joints are there. Yeah. And then there's the, you know, what I realized, and this is what really got me into hypnosis, is that
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
some things would make the pain go away altogether like what happiness joy what a concept huh yeah gratitude laughter laughter so like all of a sudden these oxytocins would be flooding your body and i wouldn't feel the pain i wouldn't have to take a drug i'd be like oh okay
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Or I'd go to like a retreat and for a week I would focus on like connection to a higher power, connection to spirit, connection to my true self, which hopefully we get into. And I'd be like, boy, at the end of this, I can walk almost perfectly and I have no pain. That's really interesting. So how do I, how do I speak to that part of myself that's controlling that?
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And so the closest thing that I could find besides prayer was hypnosis. So you get in there in a theta state, which is a state which is a trance state, which is a state that you can connect to the quantum itself if you believe in that. So how do I start to make changes to my subconscious, to those parts of me that's clearly controlling things that I don't even know?
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And so that's what really got me excited about it.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
You know, I don't know. There is a real part of me that believes that illness builds up through emotional stagnation, through a difficult childhood. Even some people say through lifetimes. If we can believe that our spirit, our energy never ceases to exist and that we come back.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And that in previous lifetimes, which Dolores Kahn and others, like Brian Weiss, Many Lives, Many Masters, focuses on past life hypnosis regression. Wow. So if you believe that, whatever you're carrying with you karmically is manifesting as illness today. And then one environmental trigger and it's like, okay, what is this?
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
So you see miraculous recovery with people just by changing and releasing stuff through their energetic and mental body. And so when I could release all my pain through releasing my sorrow, releasing my sadness and forgiveness, then things really started to heat up.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Yeah. I'm not good enough. I'm bad in some way. Therefore, that's why my body's broken. My word broken would come up a lot. So what am I good at? Okay, let's focus over here.

So much so where I wouldn't go to physical therapy. Right. Right. And so that was my mind trap because I needed an identity that was worthy. So I figured out the easiest way to be worthy.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Yeah. With the hypnotherapy, the hypnosis, the big aha moment was that we can get into a state that we allow our critical mind to be quieted. This critical mind that's always analyzing, analyzing, analyzing. And we can start to reframe
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
different experiences in our lives we can either even relive events in our lives in a completely different way because our subconscious mind and our energy body doesn't know the different doesn't know time and space space and time doesn't know reality and fantasy doesn't know those differences we can actually reframe quantum leap all the way back and change experiences that we've had
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
by experiencing that emotion under hypnosis and have profound effects for the future and current version of yourself. That's kind of mind-blowing to hear you say that. But that's one of the huge things. So I started to do that with myself, with my own therapist, with my own people that would go to hypnosis. And I learned self-hypnosis. And I would start to do that with myself.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
So I don't meditate anymore. I go into self-hypnosis.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
yeah all right well good we'll do a minute we'll do a minute and so all we have to do right i just take a really deep breath and look directly up into your forehead and hold your breath and then release it and look close your eyes gently and take another one and look all the way up into your forehead Looking up and close it and release your eyes all the way down.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Take another really deep breath and look all the way up into your forehead. Already and release it. And now all you have to do is focus on my voice. And also, if you're doing this yourself, just notice all the things that you can hear at once. And then start to notice your right hand.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And with your eyes closed, you can just notice your right hand and if your fingertips start to tingle on your right hand. And as your fingertips start to tingle on your right hand, start to notice whether you can make the fingertips tingle on the left hand. Good.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Now as your fingertips tingle on both hands, noticing the energy that's so prevalent in your body, you can just begin to count down from five knowing that you'll go a little bit deeper every number that you take. Five, four, three, two, one. And here is your state of relaxation, deepness, complete trance, where you can rejuvenate and just tell yourself something.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
The most empowering thing that you can possibly tell yourself The most empowering thing that you can tell yourself starts with the I am. I am is the spell of creation. It is divinity itself. It is creation. And so whatever you want now here, down here, you can just mention I am whatever it is. Good.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
You're completely rejuvenated, completely empowered, feeling the energy of the universe almost flowing through you, the creation itself. And you can just start to come back up. One, two, three, four, and five, eyes wide open and awake. Right back with us. It's like taking a little bit of a Valium, right? It's really relaxing.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Yeah, but it also starts to tell yourself like, oh, I can emotionally regulate and then I can start to code into my system exactly who I really truly am. Yeah, I am.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And so if you do that technique from looking up into your head, which is a natural hypnotic trance state, and then releasing the breath, counting backwards, counting down and getting to a place where you can actually speak to yourself, it's incredibly powerful.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Evaluating more information. Let me see. Let me see where the issue is. Let me project the future. Let me make sure I'm safe. Let me test this and see if I need it. Right? It's ego. It's critical. It's safety. And the truth is, when we release all that, is I am what? What is the feeling when you release fear and planning and purpose and you release all that? The one thing that's left is I am.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
I am what? What is it for you? When you release fear, when you release planning, when you release anxiety, when you release sadness, if none of that was there, what would be there?
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Yeah, it's I am love, I am expansion, I am joy. It's all these uplifting, powerful things that are, you know, like we've been programmed, we've been given, and that all these other parts of us kind of cloud.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
100%. Now we need the critical mind, right? We have so much information coming that we need to process. We need to create, you know, it's part of the human experience. But when it becomes too hyperactive, when we're not getting into, you know, kind of our subconscious, when we're letting our subconscious rule us instead of, you know, people ask me, is hypnosis mind control?
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And most people say, no, hypnosis is not mind control. I say, absolutely, it's mind control. Yes. It's mind control. It's your own ability to control your mind. Now, someone like me will help guide you so that you can control your mind, change your subconscious mind so that you can control it so it doesn't control you. And that's the most powerful part of it.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
You start to have, instead of manifestations, you start to have real realizations, like realizing that I am not separate from all this. That I am not just the wave, I am the ocean, right? And that I can actually have what it is, this person, this thing, this activity. I don't need to feel anxious and I don't need to feel separateness. I can feel as though I'm one with it.

The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
a lot of really buddhist vedic all sorts of different philosophies about i am but it is the spell that is cast that will manifest if it's i am bad you guaranteed you will what you will get if you can start to say i am and listening to you with the words that you use and starting to feel i am is the creation it is the thought that the universe is experiencing us itself through us
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And therefore, when we say I am, we create because what our identity believes that we are, we have. So what I believe I am, I have in life, not what I want. What I want, I'm constantly searching for out here, out here, out here. What I believe that I am, I get every time.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
It really is. It really is. And our identity is based in I am this. And our identity is based in beliefs of what you are. And your beliefs and identity is what you create and what you manifest. It's that easy what you see around you. What was the I am mantras that you would say growing up? Um, you know, growing up, I was always, I am not good at this. You know, I'm not good at math.

You know, when I, you know, uh, there was, um, I, I think I was diagnosed by a teacher in school or I was held back in the first grade because I was diagnosed that I had like slight dyslexia or something like that. And so I would say stuff like that. Like I, I have slight dyslexia. And that wasn't true at all. That has had no impact on my life. So there's a lot of I ams. And it goes both ways.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis

The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Yes. So the law of assumptions are what you assume to be true about yourself. And so I believe that the law of attraction will never really work for you. Until you start to recognize what you're assuming to be true about yourself, then you'll just be consciously trying to attract something by wanting it and feeling it.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
But really, your operating system, what you assume to be true, those things that you assume you're capable of, that you assume that you can have, are the blocks in the way of that. That's the truth. The truth that you believe. And then you're like, okay, I have this operating system that I'm not looking at, but it has all these assumptions. And now I'm going to go out and try to attract something.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And one of the reasons I'm coming, it's because your operating system has assumptions you haven't looked at yet.

Yeah, we're constantly in this high delta, beta, scroll, scroll, compare, compare. So we're constantly, you can start to raise your energy just by emotional regulation. And so when you emotionally regulate, you realize that I'm here now in the present moment. And by the way, this really helps with this realization or this manifestation.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
that when we start to emotionally regulate that I'm here now in this present moment, that we relax and there's so much more that's capable of. And so we start to ask ourselves two things. What's true? Meaning, is that really true? Or is it a thought? Could there be another truth to it? Is there any other way that's a truth?
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
If I was to cut your body open and look within your brain and your organs, is that truth in there? And if not, then it's in our thoughts and beliefs. And if that's true, then there's 50 truths, depending on 50 different people who look at it the same way. And the second part is a lot of people just kind of feel like they're doing it wrong.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And I say this a lot, and I say it after every meditation, after every hypnosis, after every coaching, you know, like you're doing it exactly right. This is the school of life, no pun intended. And the curriculum is difficult. And to think that you're doing it wrong, it's not true. It's not true. You're doing it exactly right.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
All these troubles, all these circumstances, all these things, you were meant to experience in some way. Because the consciousness says that it's not happening to us. It's happening through us, for us, as us.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
As your consciousness rises, and it's possible to raise your consciousness, grow your consciousness from victims happening to me, this boy, this man, this woman, this job, this person, this life, this illness, to it's happening for, through, and as. It's like, oh, okay, that kind of changes. That even opens up my chest a little bit.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Perhaps it's a lesson. Perhaps if you believe in something greater than yourself, maybe it's a karmic lesson. Maybe it's a lesson that will help us get to a higher elevation of mind and spirit. Maybe it was meant to happen so you could help someone else. Maybe it was for me. This illness was incredibly difficult. The stress at work was incredibly difficult.

Meaning like there is more. We are not our bodies. We are not our jobs. We are not our clothes. We are not our bank accounts. There's something actually bigger. The awareness of all of that above it all. We can all kind of like say, what is that voice in my head that's asking these questions? That doesn't feel pained. Definitely not subconscious about the way it walks. That is love.

Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And when you can start to tap into that, I've had a couple of these epiphanies that I would just break down in tears of relief because I tapped into this, oh, that's relief. And that relief is love. And when you can tap into that through some of these techniques that we've been talking about today, everything gets easier, the pain goes away.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And there have been so many actual clinical studies that using hypnosis, meditation, other things, the people with chronic pain, it eliminates it. It eliminates the need for opioids. Self-hypnosis.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Self-hypnosis, different forms of TM, transcendental meditation, and other forms that gets into the subconscious mind in such a way that the mind-body connection, you start to alleviate the inflammation that causes a lot of this pain.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Yeah. I mean, there's the physical and the energetic. So one, we have the biggest pharmacy in the world in our bodies. All the best drugs that pharmaceutical companies make. Can't replace it. Right, right. And they just enhance what's in our body. So like the opioid receptors and the opioid receptors and all those drugs are just being blocked so that we don't feel pain.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
So if an outside drug can do that and is releasing drugs within our body or creating changes, then our body can do it. Yes. In fact, there have been, I love the story of this mountain climber. He was climbing, climbing, climbing and he got into a predicament where he was going to fall. And he reached up and he held on to a part of the mountain or a stick or just something that was sticking out.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And he felt no pain and an overwhelming calmness. And then he was able to pull himself up and he climbed over and leaned himself against the rock and he had like an out-of-body euphoria experience. Right. And all that was, was his mind releasing DMT, all the opioids, all the oxytocin so that he could have a painless death. Really?
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
That's where he died? No, he didn't. Okay. But in case he would, it would be a, yeah. And so he had a complete euphoria. So if we can get, if we are capable of that through deep trance states, we can recreate it. And we can eliminate this fear and this pain. And then there's this energetic state that when you grow the energy, and Joe Dispenza talks a lot about this.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
I know he's been on here and I love him. You can start to grow the energy within your body and your meridians. Some miraculous things happen. I've seen some totally miraculous things happen. Yeah. So for those people who are like suffering physically because they've had a breakup or suffering physically because of their unhappy or they have pain in their body, there's hope.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
That's a great point, especially that vicious cycle of I need to do, how do I get out of this, right? And you can step back and say, listen, I'm not wrong for having this. I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm not wrong and I can also find a path forward.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
right so like stepping out of the weeds for a second just to say i'm gonna this is happening it's okay and now let's find a pass through um and so then the next question um what was the next question the difference between understanding your intuition or anxiety speaking to us yes so often um And we can talk about muscle testing and kind of how you feel it in your body too.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Because intuition is expansive and you usually feel it in your body. And it doesn't create a lot of thought. It's a knowing. Like it's kind of a, maybe you get a little voice or you just kind of feel this expansiveness in your body. And you're like, that's the right one. If you're walking to an apartment, you're with a person, you feel that energy. It resonates.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
with anxiety or it starts to feel it in your stomach or in your chest and then you start to think it obsessive like you start to find all the avenues the algorithm runs and you're trying to figure out figure out figure it out but the intuition really tells you and you can start to so the other day i'm swimming and i'm in the pool and i'm doing my typical workout and i start to think about
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
all the things I have to do. And I started to think about, oh God, I don't have the right resources to get these done. And then I was like, oh, and I didn't respond to these five people who are waiting. And I literally was getting slower and slower until I just stood up in the middle of the pool.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And so what I started to think about, I have a 17-year-old son who's amazing. I got this dog that I love. I got all these awesome things happening with work and community. I got my family, all these amazing things. I started to think about the sunset that I really love. And I started to swim again more powerfully, stronger than I ever did before.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And I started to say, okay, when you focus on the positive and the outcomes that you want, your body responds. And you can actually do muscle testing.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Yeah. And some people may be listening to that and be like, yes, but My sadness is too overwhelming. I can't do that. And that's a mind trap of the backfire, if I get it. And it's completely possible. But it's also because you had a mission and a vision.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
So if we don't figure out what our mission and vision is in life, or something greater than us, like make money, have a fancy car, then we will stay stuck in ruts longer. Because we don't have that greater something propelling you.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And to have a real mission and vision, you've got to figure out a little bit of what you want and say, what is that driving force that is going to drive me and my vision so when things get tough, I can be resilient?
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
All right. Well, you're going to create whatever you focus on. So constantly we start to focus on what's missing or what we don't want. Meaning, so I had these terrible pains in my stomach. Terrible pains in my stomach. And I was like, oh, geez, this something's wrong. This is this is not I didn't need something bad. This is this is an issue. And so I tried to ignore it.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And finally, I went to the emergency room in Manhattan near my house, which is You know, and very crowded. And it is near a methadone clinic. It's a very difficult place. People are detoxing. People are very ill. It's very crowded. So they admit me. They put me on a gurney. I'm in a hallway. There's no room. You're just in a hallway on a gurney.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And I had maybe two years earlier been to the emergency room, spent like 13 hours in there. And so I went in at like 7 p.m. And so all I'm thinking about is this is a major issue. This I'm going to be here all night. Who's going to take care of my dog? I have things to do. Maybe I have to like stay overnight. And it's like they're never going to get to me. And so I'm laying on the gurney.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Those are good questions. I mean, so first of all, we believe that we're in this reality, right? We believe that everything that we're doing up until now is real, right? And it's based on all of our programming. So we've created and built up this reality, all the programming to it, to create our beliefs that then allow us to see the world in the way that we see it, when we've learned that.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
I start to really freak out and stress about the things I don't want. And, and the pain is getting worse, worse and worse and worse. The more I think about it, the more I stress that the pain is getting worse. And so the nurse comes over, I was like, how long is this going to take? And she's like, expect to be here for hours.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And so it's getting so bad that I'm laying on this gurney in the middle of people are detoxing. I'm in the middle of the, the wing. Um, it's a mess. And I start to think to myself, I need to, again, practice what I preach. What is the outcome I want? What is the real outcome I want? I want this pain to go away. Okay, what does that feel like?
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
That feels like joy, that feels relief, that feels like excitement. What else do I want? I want the doctor to come and say, there's no problem, you can leave. Okay, what else do I want? I want to be out of here by 9.30. I want to be out by 930. Literally, this is a two and a half hour experience for me. I want in and out. And so the nurse comes over again.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
I was like, listen, what's the next steps here? And she's like, well, you're going to get this imaging. We're pretty backed up. It's like, you know, okay, so like let's, something's going to happen here where the woman comes out and says, you're ready. We're ready for you. Literally in 15 minutes, the woman came out and said, we're ready for you.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And as soon as she said, we're ready to take your imaging, my pain went like from a 10 to a seven. I was like, okay, this is good. We're getting somewhere. I like that. And so I get the imaging. It's very quick. I come back and say, how long do results usually take? Oh, about an hour or two because we're backed up. I started to think, okay, what's the best result here?
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Okay, they come back quickly with quick imaging. And within 20 minutes, they came back. And they said, we got bad news. You have appendicitis. I was like, this is not the outcome I want. How did I do all this work and still get a really difficult outcome? Because they have to do surgery on that, right? Is it like appendix?
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
That's surgery. That's emergency surgery.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Right then. So I started to say, OK, that's not the outcome. That's not good. But I'm still not going to go there. Really? I'm still not going to go there. I'm going to continue to focus on the outcome that I want. And I said I'd be out of here by 930. And the surgeon's going to come down. and say that there was a mistake or something, but what's the outcome that I want, the feeling that I want?
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And I started to focus on this expansion, this feeling that I want. And it's like, this is not happening to me. This is not my reality. I'm focusing only on the outcome that I want. And that's ease and joy and me walking out of here with relief at 9.30 p.m. And so the surgeon does come down and he's like, listen,
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
we don't really do surgery that much anymore for appendicitis unless it's about to burst. And in fact, we could probably give you some antibiotics now. And if it flares up again, you go see a surgeon on your own time and you get it taken out quickly. Really? And here's a surgeon's name that is associated with the hospital. So I can leave?
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Wow. So when you focus on the outcomes that you want, instead of the outcomes that I don't want, oh my God, this is painful, this is terrible, all these, life gets easier. You manifest what you want and also your pain goes down. I was walking out of there and the antibiotics shouldn't have been, didn't take effect that quickly, but my pain had gone from a 10 to a three.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
So if we build up programming to see the world in the way that we see it, it is possible that we could have had different programming from different people that would allow us to see the world in a different way and that it would be a different reality. And therefore, it is possible that we have multiple realities.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
So like when you focus on the outcomes that you want, you get the outcomes when you want. When you focus on the outcomes that you don't want, you get the outcomes you don't want.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Yeah. So I really love studying the I am frequency. That's of creation wholeness that you are not the separate wave. You are the ocean. And so I use I am. And so like I am money. Like I am the energy of money. I am the frequency of money. I am abundance itself. I, you know, money flows to me easily. The I am oftentimes when you just repeat the mantra, I am.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
It's like the message to the universe that you are whole, one, and complete. And so I don't say anything. I feel my energy expand. And I did it to prepare for this interview today. I did it to prepare for everything. It's such miraculous things because when you're not separate, you're one with everything that you want.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And so the I am mantra, just sitting in a quiet place, feeling your energy expand with I am. Positive thoughts about what you want, I am. I am. I am that I am.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Yeah. And then with your affirmations, you can put what you want at the end of I am. And then using the question format, right? even start to say, how is it that I am? How is it that I am so worthy of money? So I mean, show me, universe, is what you're saying, right?
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Yeah, so like the questions before that we were asking the subconscious mind, the NLP, you can start to use questions within your affirmations, like, how is it that I am so good at making money, right? And the subconscious mind isn't gonna say, no, you're not good at making money. That's not its job. The subconscious mind is to say, answer that question. How is it that I'm so good at making money?

Everybody's in a separate reality for the way that they see things, feel things, or are affected by things. Right? So, and everybody that feels as though they're trapped in this one predicament, this one space, this one reality, just has to realize that they can break out. Maybe they created it. They can change it. But there are some mind traps that stop people from doing this.

um so you know cats are always at your legs the the dog that no one likes is kind of like trying to get your attention animals like you friends and family members are asking your advice they want your counsel they're they're interested in kind of your point of view Do you ever have that kind of baby that is just always staring at you?

Yeah, especially horses, they know. They feel it. Yeah, they feel it. So that is our true essence. That's our truth, right? We have this ability to sense things. And that's why I always say when we're about to do a session that has trance or hypnosis work, like lock up your babies, lock up your dogs and cats.

Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
what are you doing here and then they jump on you but we all have this innate wisdom to be able to sense the vibration and energy and it's just our mind so loud we don't we we second guess it but we're all feeling it we're feeling the energy of each other be in the first second peeling it from when when we walk in the room if the person's in another room you can just peel it yeah and when you quiet down your mind you know

Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
We all have.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And one particular mind trap is called the negativity bias. And you've seen this negativity bias. We all have. So on social media, you get a thousand really positive comments. And then you have one really negative comment. And which ones do you obsessed about.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Yeah, I think that's an amazing point. How do you think you learned that?
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Someone else might have gone a different route. How did you know that you were going to go with curiosity?
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Yes, so you start obsessing about the negative comment. And it's our negativity bias that keeps us trapped in saying, oh, this is an issue in this world that I can't overcome. And when we start to become aware of that one, we start to focus on the positive. Everything changes. Another one is our confirmation bias.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
So if we can become aware that we have a reticular activating system that is out there confirming all of our beliefs based on these programming. So you just have to say, what results am I creating in my life?
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Yeah. A really great confirmation bias around relationships is I'm not good enough. I'm not lovable. All right. And what happens?
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Exactly right. You get the breadcrumbs. You go on a date and the guy goes to you again. You go on a date and the guy doesn't want to commit to a relationship. Or the woman is texting all sorts of different men. Or they are inconsistent, hot and cold. And you're like, why can't I just find a great person that really loves me and pays attention to me? But when you do find that, they become boring.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Yeah.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Yeah, or if you're like me, it came from a really crazy childhood, right, where everybody's yelling and screaming and making up, right? And so, like, if I was just even kill. Peaceful. Peaceful. There was no sexual passion. Yeah. I needed peaks and valleys. You need chaos.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
But that makes people sick. It is. That's why people are miserable in the long run. because they don't realize that oh it's your programming that something that's consistent and safe and like follows up and calls and all those things isn't boring it's beautiful and that's when you can be vulnerable and that's when you're allowed to be vulnerable that you can have a real true connection
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
I love the sunk cost fallacy. Are you familiar with that? You may have heard it from your business. Go ahead. The sunk cost fallacy says, I've invested so much in this, I can't possibly let it go now. People, you know, but we've been together for two years. Business, but I've put a million dollars into it.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Throwing more good time after bad, more money, more good money after bad. And then before you know it, another two, three years goes by and you're like, boy, I wish I got out earlier. Really got out earlier. So it takes a lot of like, it takes a lot to be able to break free from that. Yes. And to just change, right? So that's another one. Is there any more mind traps?
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Yeah, there's so many of them. There's this self-awareness is what really allows you to recognize it. When you start to look at the results of your life, then you can understand what your traps are, right? Because sometimes you look at results and say, oh, I'm really good at that. I must have programming that's really good.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
And so I'm confirming every day that I can make money or that I'm worthy or that I'm lovable. And that's why I have this beautiful relationship. And then other

Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
results in your life that are like poor you're like okay what are my traps here that i have um one really great one um oh one that i really love one really great one is the backfire effect what's that and the backfire effect is part of your identity so if you believe something is true
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
even if it's not, even if there's maybe another reality to it, another truth to it, and I challenge you with either a correct version or a different version, and you double down, And you're like, all of a sudden you're believing in yours even more because you have to fight for it.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Because if you let it go, then some part of your identity or your reality crumbles and you double down and it's the backfire effect. That's a really good one.

And I was like, oh, but I'm really unhappy. And I'm working 80 hours a week and I'm sick, like I'm out of shape and I'm all these things. And so I realized that I was doubling down and saying, yeah, this had to be true. And when someone else was doing it differently, I would see them succeeding. I would say, but that's not me. Really? They have something that I don't.
The School of Greatness
Master Hypnotist Reveals The Manifestation Formula That’s MORE Powerful Than The Law of Attraction | Jim Curtis
Or they're really good at this. I'd make an excuse until I had to snap out of it. What I call is these hypno-realizations. Really? Yeah. I could tell you a little bit more about that.
