This week, on The Conscious Consultant Hour, we have another special show with just you and Sam as he shares all about his travels to Peru and back.
When we travel to a distant place, we often do not know what the impact of the trip will have on our lives. We may think it is just to get away, reset, and experience something different, yet often what we experience impacts us in ways we could not imagine.
Travel is about much more than seeing the beauty of nature, or connecting with different cultures, it is about removing ourselves from our day-to-day world and putting ourselves in a whole new environment. It is about living life from a new perspective and a new vision.
Travel is about changing ourselves so we can grow and evolve. On this episode Sam will share the experiences he had in the Sacred Valley and Cusco that brought him to a new perspective on life and the work he does.
Tune in and share your own thoughts about how travel has affected you and changed your life on our YouTube livestream or on our Facebook page.

Sam extends warm Thanksgiving wishes to the audience and kicks off the show by showcasing a blog post. Delve deeper into his blog at talkradio.nyc/blog. Today's highlighted post, "Each of us can make a big impact in the world," emphasizes Sam's belief that our voices possess unprecedented influence in the present era. According to Sam, speaking out matters, even if it reaches just one person. He leverages his platform to advocate for environmental issues.
Sam recounts his journey to Peru, an experience that surpassed his expectations. Traveling with a predominantly unfamiliar group, Sam expresses the beauty of forming connections and embracing vulnerability during the trip. He was especially moved by the camaraderie among the men.
Vulnerability united the entire group, and Sam has compelling personal experiences to share. In a Hapeh Circle, he took a heavy dose of a substance meant to clear energetic channels, leading to an intense night of heightened sensitivity. The following day, the euphoric yet intense Grandmother medicine took its toll. However, the fourth ceremony with Grandfather brought a beautiful experience, including a cathartic moment with tears.
In the final Heart Ceremony, Sam was profoundly impressed and grateful for the insights he gained. The trip, for him, wasn't primarily about processing deep trauma but rather about replenishing his energy, emotions, and physical well-being. Sam hadn't realized how fatigued he was, and this journey served to fill his cup on multiple levels. It's a reminder that those in service often neglect themselves, emphasizing the importance of showing up for oneself to effectively show up for others.
00:01:04.730 --> 00:01:13.960 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but it is that time of year. It's the end of fall, coming into the beginning of winter. It's time to
00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:16.940 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: take stock of all that we've
00:01:17.020 --> 00:01:24.099 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: accomplished during the year. All that we've experienced of friends of family.
00:01:25.330 --> 00:01:30.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and so typically, this is the time of year when we give thanks.
00:01:31.110 --> 00:01:41.470 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Personally, I think we should not only give thanks around this time of year. It's something we should do throughout the entire year.
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:54.960 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But at least we have this one time a year. This one holiday here in the United States, where it reminds us to remember all the blessings that we have in our life.
00:01:55.940 --> 00:01:59.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, especially here in the United States. You know
00:02:00.250 --> 00:02:03.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when you travel and when you go other places, you realize
00:02:05.240 --> 00:02:13.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how much we have here compared to how little little people have in other countries in the world.
00:02:14.670 --> 00:02:22.659 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But all that stuff means nothing. If we're not happy, if we're not enjoying life. And sometimes when you see
00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:30.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: some one in a small village, and they barely have anything, and they're happier than we are.
00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:33.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Gives you pause for thought.
00:02:34.670 --> 00:02:54.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So no guest today it's just me. And you actually had guests all through November. So I thought today, you know, we'll do a me only show. And since my loyal listeners like my me only shows hopefully. You'll enjoy my rabblings today, and if not well, next week I'll have a guest. Okay.
00:02:54.950 --> 00:02:55.970 So
00:02:56.630 --> 00:03:00.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: as I've been doing lately, and and will continue to do
00:03:00.890 --> 00:03:11.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: as opposed to reading a chapter from my book every Day Awakening, which I was doing before. I'm now reading a little quote a little blog post that I wrote.
00:03:11.620 --> 00:03:24.500 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: These are little less than 2 years old, just about 2 years old, so you may have read these. You may have not. so to day's blog is entitled, I think this is a good one.
00:03:24.900 --> 00:03:38.269 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Each of us can make a big impact in the world. We are living in a time of great change. There are upheavals in most of our major systems.
00:03:38.300 --> 00:03:46.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: systems of government, medicine, economics, and social norms. It can feel quite overwhelming at times.
00:03:47.470 --> 00:03:52.520 Yet in a time of great change there is great opportunity.
00:03:53.060 --> 00:03:56.959 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We can build something new. something different.
00:03:57.370 --> 00:04:03.020 new alternatives to how things have been done for hundreds of years are coming to the forefront.
00:04:03.510 --> 00:04:09.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that gives us all a chance to contribute and find a better way of doing things
00:04:10.980 --> 00:04:19.459 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: with communication happening at the speed of thought. New ideas can spread faster than ever before.
00:04:19.870 --> 00:04:29.539 New movements can start from a simple saying or a short video. Our influence as individuals has never been greater.
00:04:30.030 --> 00:04:31.379 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: yet it does not.
00:04:31.570 --> 00:04:34.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: yet it does take courage.
00:04:34.730 --> 00:04:45.939 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: courage to step up and expose our ideas to the light of day. It takes the courage to open our figurative mouths and speak our truths
00:04:46.460 --> 00:04:51.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in some places that can still get you put in jail.
00:04:51.600 --> 00:05:09.089 yet in other places it can turn you into the leader of a new cause for improving the condition of our lives. Anyone can be a new leader if we have the audacity and Chutzpah to say what we believe and believe in what we say.
00:05:09.970 --> 00:05:15.930 for if we do not like what we see in the world, it is up to us to change it.
00:05:17.020 --> 00:05:23.960 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If we do not like the direction we are headed, it is up to us to find a new path forward.
00:05:24.870 --> 00:05:37.509 for things will not get better on their own. It takes our action and our will to contribute to the change. Our contribution might be in written words.
00:05:37.660 --> 00:05:56.059 spoken words, music or visual imagery. We all have our unique talents to use in our own unique ways. Yet until we use them to raise awareness or understanding about something we believe in, we have not
00:05:56.110 --> 00:05:58.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: fully use them.
00:05:59.220 --> 00:06:07.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Our contribution is made when we affect other people's lives. It does not have to be a big contribution.
00:06:07.650 --> 00:06:10.919 even influencing just one
00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:12.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: person
00:06:12.310 --> 00:06:18.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to see things differently can have a huge effect in the long run.
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:23.900 or we can influence thousands or millions. Should that be our path.
00:06:24.820 --> 00:06:33.059 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Perhaps what we all need to do is just contribute our voice and touch those who are immediately around us.
00:06:33.490 --> 00:06:41.550 and then let them carry the message forward. If the message we have given them is worth while.
00:06:41.570 --> 00:06:45.609 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: perhaps it may even spread around the globe.
00:06:46.670 --> 00:06:56.160 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we can make an impact. Each of us. It is just up to us how we choose to make that impact.
00:06:58.230 --> 00:07:01.089 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Do you know what your contribution is?
00:07:02.270 --> 00:07:08.099 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Can you see a better way of living that you can share with the world.
00:07:10.200 --> 00:07:19.800 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So this, this essay, this blog. it's a blog of encouragement. It's a blog of empowerment.
00:07:23.500 --> 00:07:33.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's a reminder that with today's technology and today's interconnectedness of communication.
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:39.069 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Our voice has a much bigger reach than it has ever had before.
00:07:41.020 --> 00:07:45.039 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that's a good thing. and that can be a scary thing.
00:07:47.760 --> 00:07:50.260 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because a lot of things
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:56.029 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: are spreading that are not necessarily such wonderful ideas.
00:07:56.750 --> 00:07:58.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: messages of division.
00:07:59.890 --> 00:08:01.459 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of paranoia.
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.649 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of hatred, of separation.
00:08:07.910 --> 00:08:17.959 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and of course, if you're listening to the conscious consultant hour, you're you're one of my tribe. You're so a fellow traveler who believes in coming together
00:08:18.130 --> 00:08:27.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in unity in working together, in celebrating our differences, and not making them a reason to be fearful of another human being.
00:08:32.760 --> 00:08:37.589 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so it is our responsibility to speak up.
00:08:40.130 --> 00:08:41.880 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and when we speak up
00:08:42.630 --> 00:08:49.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and we want to make an impact again, it it doesn't have to be a huge impact. I've often had this discussion with my wife.
00:08:49.970 --> 00:08:51.679 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: who's a therapist.
00:08:52.370 --> 00:09:03.359 and and she loves working with individuals like she doesn't even do group work. She only does individual work me. I love doing group work. I love touching multiple people's lives at the same time.
00:09:06.390 --> 00:09:15.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yet even if we touch just one person's life. if one person hears our words of encouragement.
00:09:17.270 --> 00:09:19.630 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of a better way of doing things.
00:09:22.150 --> 00:09:23.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Then we've made a difference.
00:09:25.010 --> 00:09:32.500 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And who knows that one person might spread our ideas to another person and them to another, and them to another, and them to another.
00:09:33.030 --> 00:09:49.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then suddenly our words reach some one. We have no clue who they are. They don't really know us personally. but our words inspire them, and they take our message, and they share it with their following, which turns out to be a huge following.
00:09:52.920 --> 00:09:59.319 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Suddenly what appeared to be just a small impact on one person's life
00:10:00.610 --> 00:10:06.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: reverberated out through the world and had a tremendous impact.
00:10:09.830 --> 00:10:12.630 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So it is not up to us to judge.
00:10:13.880 --> 00:10:16.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Am I making a large enough impact?
00:10:17.980 --> 00:10:19.050 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Life
00:10:19.580 --> 00:10:25.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: will amplify the messages that need to spread.
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:32.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It is only up to us to have the courage to speak up.
00:10:35.500 --> 00:10:37.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to say what we believe in.
00:10:39.970 --> 00:10:41.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to
00:10:42.220 --> 00:10:45.940 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: share our deepest thoughts
00:10:45.990 --> 00:10:48.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in our own personal truth.
00:10:49.470 --> 00:10:51.639 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But let's not get cocky about it.
00:10:53.140 --> 00:10:59.609 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Our truth is, our truth doesn't mean it's the truth, and doesn't mean it will be our truth. 10 years from now.
00:11:02.570 --> 00:11:05.629 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: whenever I share anything on my show
00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:11.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: mean sometimes I forget, but I like to remember to have the qualifier.
00:11:12.280 --> 00:11:20.689 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: This is just from my perspective. Maybe it's true for you. Maybe it's not. It's up to you to find your truth
00:11:25.490 --> 00:11:27.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for me. Recently
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:29.669 one of the
00:11:33.160 --> 00:11:41.699 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: passions I have is about spreading the word about raising our awareness around our environment. And what's happening in the world.
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:46.889 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Because I have a great concern that we're not doing enough
00:11:48.550 --> 00:11:51.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to mitigate our impact
00:11:52.580 --> 00:11:54.370 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: on the earth's environment.
00:11:57.350 --> 00:12:11.579 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that if we don't do something differently. if we don't start being more mindful of the pollution were putting into the atmosphere of the toxins, we're putting into our environment.
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:22.010 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Things are going to get much more difficult in a relatively short amount of time
00:12:23.300 --> 00:12:26.160 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and look, will the earth survive? Will
00:12:26.210 --> 00:12:32.269 will life in some form survive absolutely. Will humanity survive? Well.
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:34.839 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the jury is still out on that part.
00:12:38.450 --> 00:12:40.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Even the biggest
00:12:40.860 --> 00:12:45.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: deniers of climate change in the past are starting to change their tune.
00:12:47.290 --> 00:13:00.189 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If we open our eyes and we look around us, the weather is getting more severe. more extreme than ever before. The ice caps are melting.
00:13:00.430 --> 00:13:08.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and in the North and South poles the ocean temperatures are warming. These are facts. These are not up for debate.
00:13:11.210 --> 00:13:14.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We are impacting our world.
00:13:18.010 --> 00:13:24.639 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that's going to have severe consequences. And you may not think this really touches your life.
00:13:25.930 --> 00:13:29.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But what about our food supply? What about the farmers?
00:13:31.210 --> 00:13:38.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If the weather starts getting more erratic and more challenging. It's going to be harder for them to grow food.
00:13:39.370 --> 00:13:51.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That means food prices are going to go up. Certain things might become more scarce. Certain staples that we're used to might no longer be available.
00:13:54.040 --> 00:13:58.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I mean, personally. I see this in New York City
00:14:00.770 --> 00:14:14.839 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because me and my wife. We like to shop at the local trader, Joe's. and for the last couple of years I am amazed that if we go there at night, because we like to shop in night time after dinner, when it's not so crowded.
00:14:15.470 --> 00:14:25.160 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The shelves are empty, I mean, not all the shelves, but lots of stuff is not there. They stock it up in the morning, and it's gone by afternoon.
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:28.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It never used to be like that.
00:14:30.750 --> 00:14:32.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I've never
00:14:32.260 --> 00:14:35.659 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: seen stores run out of bread and
00:14:36.630 --> 00:14:41.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: fruits and vegetables and other items.
00:14:43.450 --> 00:14:49.610 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There's a reason for that. and it's not a one-time thing happens all the time.
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:58.389 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Now this is in New York City, maybe where you are. It's not as crowded, not as many people. So you don't see the impact as much.
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:00.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But you will.
00:15:04.090 --> 00:15:09.359 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So what can we do about it? It's being more mindful. What is our impact?
00:15:10.670 --> 00:15:12.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: As recently in Chicago
00:15:12.770 --> 00:15:19.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I found out they didn't recycle in the Chicago, at least not at the person's home where we were staying, and I was shocked
00:15:19.270 --> 00:15:25.459 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because in New York City not only do we recycle, but we separate paper from plastic, and that we even compost now
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:29.530 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because the less
00:15:30.110 --> 00:15:37.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: toxic material we put in our environment, the far better our environment's going to be. We can't keep dumping stuff
00:15:37.830 --> 00:15:39.079 in the ocean
00:15:40.030 --> 00:15:51.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or in the land. It's just not good for us, this whole thing, now that we understand about forever chemicals that these micro molecules of plastics are
00:15:51.460 --> 00:15:56.340 so in our soil, in our food and everything we consume.
00:15:58.800 --> 00:16:03.049 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There are so many health conditions coming up these days.
00:16:03.900 --> 00:16:09.630 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I mean dementia and cancers, and a DHD, and A. DD. And all these things
00:16:11.180 --> 00:16:18.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that did not used to be so common now they are. There's a reason for that.
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:26.980 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And it all has to do with the impact we are making on the environment.
00:16:28.010 --> 00:16:36.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So look, I'm not saying I have the solution or the answer to all of this. There are a lot of people out there who have a lot of ideas about things we can do.
00:16:37.270 --> 00:16:41.160 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It just takes the will. It just takes the desire.
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:47.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So I guess my message to make a bigger impact on the world today is, educate yourself.
00:16:47.780 --> 00:16:59.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: really learn. Don't come with a preconceived notion. Do your research and see. What can you do to have a better impact in the world? And what ideas can you spread
00:17:00.420 --> 00:17:04.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so sorry? A little bit of a tangent there? But that's from my blog post.
00:17:04.040 --> 00:17:17.480 Each of us can make a big impact in the world, and you can find my blog, and I put out a new blog post every week. You can find it both on talk radio dot, NYC, as well as on the consciousconsultant.com.
00:17:18.550 --> 00:17:30.169 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So please go read my blog and let me know your comments. You can email me, sam@talkradio.nyc. Let me know what you think about my writings.
00:17:31.020 --> 00:17:48.829 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Do you like them? Do you not like them? Do you agree with them? Do you disagree with them? I would love to hear your opinion on it. all right. So enough, pontificating well, not really cause. I still got the rest of the show to do, but on that aspect, and when we come back
00:17:48.870 --> 00:18:03.319 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: am going to talk about how we travel to come home. because I've just been sort of away from home for 3 weeks, having very intense experience, and I want to share with you some of the highlights of that.
00:18:03.980 --> 00:18:19.109 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So just as a reminder. You are listening to the conscious consultant hour awakening humanity. I do this every Thursday 12, noon Eastern time to one pm, right here in talk radio data, Nyc, and all over social media. And we will be right back
00:18:19.230 --> 00:18:22.300 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: with the rest of the show in just a moment.
00:18:22.650 --> 00:18:30.210 www.TalkRadio.nyc: Are you a conscious co-creator. Are you on a quest to raise your vibration and your consciousness?
00:20:38.670 --> 00:20:44.189 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and welcome back to the conscious consultant hour, weakening humanity.
00:20:44.670 --> 00:20:50.049 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So last week was Thanksgiving, so I didn't do a live show last week
00:20:50.910 --> 00:20:54.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and the couple of weeks before
00:20:54.420 --> 00:21:02.409 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I had pre recorded shows there were new shows, but they were pre-recorded because I was away. I was out of the country.
00:21:02.420 --> 00:21:11.980 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I was for the first time down in Peru, the land of magic. And
00:21:13.080 --> 00:21:21.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it was really something I have to say. It was beyond my expectations. It was a wonderful
00:21:21.600 --> 00:21:23.180 experience.
00:21:23.730 --> 00:21:34.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: one. I think I'm still trying to get a handle on a perspective on, still trying to formulate
00:21:35.660 --> 00:21:48.939 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the words, to to really capture it. And so this is my opportunity, my my gents to sort of integrate this experience a little bit.
00:21:52.270 --> 00:21:53.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So
00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:58.069 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I went down there with a dear friend, somebody I've known
00:21:58.300 --> 00:22:02.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for many years
00:22:03.010 --> 00:22:12.540 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: who led the who led the group. I was down there with a group of people of this group.
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:20.230 Really, there are only a couple of people that I knew there's about 20 of us and
00:22:21.560 --> 00:22:25.949 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There was only, besides the people organizing it.
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:33.519 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: probably only 2 people that I that I personally had met before 3 people.
00:22:33.710 --> 00:22:42.890 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then the rest. A couple of people I knew their name, but I didn't really know them and the rest of the people. I didn't really know I didn't.
00:22:44.040 --> 00:22:45.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I had never met them before.
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:51.099 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and when you're in a
00:22:51.150 --> 00:23:03.469 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a different country. when when you're in a different place and and you're thrust in with people you never met before. It's an interesting experience.
00:23:04.140 --> 00:23:06.430 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because in the beginning
00:23:06.460 --> 00:23:12.810 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, you're not quite.
00:23:13.930 --> 00:23:17.100 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There's not quite the cohesiveness in the group.
00:23:18.980 --> 00:23:22.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: People are kind of doing their own thing. They're still.
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:28.849 you know, kind of figuring out, you know, who's who, what's going on.
00:23:33.290 --> 00:23:39.300 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And it was quite interesting until the first couple of days.
00:23:40.060 --> 00:23:42.280 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:55.119 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we kind of split up into 2 separate groups. And the one thing I will say is, there were a lot more men on this group than women, which kind of surprised me, cause usually this kind of group. It's usually about 50 50
00:23:55.490 --> 00:24:04.740 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There were a couple of women who were helpers, assistants who who were supporting. There were 3 couples, and that was it.
00:24:05.260 --> 00:24:07.139 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and the rest were all guys.
00:24:08.810 --> 00:24:18.359 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so we split and sort of there was a a women's group where they kind of talked about what was their intention. What's coming up for them what's going on? And then there was the men's group.
00:24:19.520 --> 00:24:24.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and the men's group was was a much bigger group. We we probably had
00:24:25.790 --> 00:24:32.289 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: maybe, like 1415 men. as opposed to like 4 or 5 women.
00:24:33.490 --> 00:24:38.909 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so, as we were going around, and and the person had scheduled like an hour for doing this.
00:24:40.430 --> 00:24:44.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But we ended up taking over 2 h men's group.
00:24:46.260 --> 00:24:49.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And as the guys started to share.
00:24:49.770 --> 00:24:53.249 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and was really glad they did it this way, separating because
00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:59.659 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the men got really vulnerable. We got very vulnerable with each other.
00:25:02.540 --> 00:25:06.129 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and the guys were sharing things with each other that
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:13.039 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we probably would never share
00:25:14.460 --> 00:25:17.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in a public group if it had not been all men.
00:25:19.590 --> 00:25:30.769 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And keep in mind. This is not just. you know, straight, heterosexual white men. It was men of all persuasions and all colors and all races.
00:25:34.670 --> 00:25:39.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it was so interesting watching how people started to come together
00:25:41.120 --> 00:25:42.949 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because of their vulnerability
00:25:44.930 --> 00:25:48.769 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because of people sharing really like
00:25:50.290 --> 00:26:00.539 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: their biggest challenge in life, and why they had come down to Peru and and what were they struggling with in life. And and what were they
00:26:00.560 --> 00:26:01.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: trying to do?
00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:16.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And because every one got vulnerable with each other, every one felt safe enough to get even more vulnerable.
00:26:17.430 --> 00:26:23.029 And so, as we went around the circle, and people shared more and more and more.
00:26:24.140 --> 00:26:26.900 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it really opened up people's hearts.
00:26:30.650 --> 00:26:33.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and by the end of this two-hour meeting.
00:26:35.450 --> 00:26:38.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Suddenly there was a cohesion in the group.
00:26:39.800 --> 00:26:41.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The vulnerability
00:26:43.010 --> 00:26:50.369 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: really brought people together. and this was sort of one of the first big experiences was
00:26:54.230 --> 00:27:02.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: than our vulnerability is what creates connection. because in that vulnerability is authenticity.
00:27:04.070 --> 00:27:05.389 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Now think about it.
00:27:05.900 --> 00:27:10.740 We're in the sacred valley, in valley, in Peru, outside of Cusco.
00:27:11.310 --> 00:27:22.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: wherein this beautiful resort, surrounded by nature most people, it was their first time coming down to Peru in a very different environment.
00:27:25.360 --> 00:27:32.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to be vulnerable in a place like that. where everything is so unknown.
00:27:33.870 --> 00:27:35.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: from
00:27:36.450 --> 00:27:51.540 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the the, you know, from the food that we're eating to what's going to happen the next day I mean everything. It was a very different environment outside of our normal day to day life
00:27:52.560 --> 00:27:56.530 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to be vulnerable in that it's not easy.
00:27:59.570 --> 00:28:07.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But that vulnerability really opened people's hearts, not just mine, I mean, opened my heart to all the men there.
00:28:09.050 --> 00:28:10.789 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but everyone's heart.
00:28:14.700 --> 00:28:18.179 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so for me, that was one of the first big lessons
00:28:19.500 --> 00:28:20.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that
00:28:20.650 --> 00:28:23.549 true vulnerability brings connection.
00:28:28.460 --> 00:28:30.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that when we connect, like that.
00:28:35.020 --> 00:28:36.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we really
00:28:37.140 --> 00:28:43.880 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: shift in change the energy of the whole dynamic of the situation and its set up
00:28:43.950 --> 00:28:46.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the whole rest of the trip the following.
00:28:46.980 --> 00:28:51.899 it was a total of like 10 days, 11 days. So this was like day 2.
00:28:53.470 --> 00:28:55.500 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So over a week to go.
00:28:57.570 --> 00:29:01.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And it really set up a beautiful, beautiful experience.
00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:15.009 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so I'm actually gonna dedicate this show to all the men on the group in Peru this year. Beautiful, beautiful people! I so appreciate
00:29:15.780 --> 00:29:17.380 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: your vulnerability.
00:29:18.370 --> 00:29:19.720 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Alright.
00:29:20.750 --> 00:29:40.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so time to take another break, and when we come back. I'll talk about more of my experiences down there. The things I learned myself humbled some of the places I went, and some of the magic that I experience. So please stay tuned. You're listening to the conscious, consultant hour awakening humanity.
00:29:41.130 --> 00:29:45.449 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and we will be right back in just a moment.
00:31:12.700 --> 00:31:13.520 Okay.
00:31:50.980 --> 00:32:03.349 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: alright. So so. So I was starting to tell you about my trip to Peru, and just how the men came together, and it really not just for the men, but for the whole group, that vulnerability really brought us together, and and
00:32:03.660 --> 00:32:06.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and really made the group cohesive.
00:32:07.930 --> 00:32:20.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Now there were a number of experiences. We. We sat with a pejas, the spiritual leaders of the Honey Kun tribe that was beautiful, doing medicine work with them.
00:32:21.300 --> 00:32:28.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I had some of my own personal experiences which sort of shocked me.
00:32:29.840 --> 00:32:40.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So, the first being that the first night they got there. That we did a a small hape circle a ape ceremony, and japet. Is
00:32:40.750 --> 00:32:48.170 this this tobacco snuff that comes from the Amazon, that there's nothing psychoactive about it. There's nothing illegal about it.
00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:58.399 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it's something that I've been utilizing for several years. and I use it very sacredly, and my wife and I will will practice with it at night
00:33:00.030 --> 00:33:02.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:18.339 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so I was very experienced with it. and so when they were serving it. And and I was like, Okay, well, I wanted the like, really the strongest, strongest dose cause I'm planning on doing Jpeg circles and serving it to others, and
00:33:18.350 --> 00:33:20.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I figured if I'm going to
00:33:21.070 --> 00:33:29.369 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: be taking this medicine seriously, I mean been working with it for years. I have a very good practice. I sit and meditate with it.
00:33:29.770 --> 00:33:41.280 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, on a weekly basis. I thought you. These people are from the tribes. Let me have the strongest experience with it that I can, because.
00:33:41.980 --> 00:33:42.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know
00:33:43.350 --> 00:33:46.559 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'm experienced. I work with this stuff.
00:33:48.160 --> 00:34:04.559 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And they they, they said, they're kind of 3 levels to the the how they serve the happy! There's like the the light level, the moderate level, and the blow it out, the back of your head level, and so I went for the blow it out the back of your head level.
00:34:05.180 --> 00:34:08.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Little did I know what I was getting myself in, for
00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:16.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so they serve the hot bay, and it was a little bit strong. It's always when it first comes on. It's a little bit strong.
00:34:19.469 --> 00:34:27.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But then I went back to my spot and I sat down, and I'm sitting with it. And it came on stronger and stronger and stronger.
00:34:29.540 --> 00:34:36.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it turned into a very intense experience for me, something I really did not expect.
00:34:39.469 --> 00:34:45.470 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and Japet tends to sort of clear you out and clear out your energetic channels
00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:48.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in this
00:34:49.889 --> 00:34:55.100 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Pape really did a number on me. I
00:34:56.300 --> 00:34:59.439 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I mean I can't even describe what I was
00:34:59.510 --> 00:35:05.010 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: feeling, but this sensation of it was so strong.
00:35:06.780 --> 00:35:08.430 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I had not
00:35:08.740 --> 00:35:16.160 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: slept very well the night before. I mean, I'd taken an overnight flight to come down to Peru.
00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:17.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and
00:35:18.490 --> 00:35:22.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I didn't really sleep well on the plane. So I was a bit tired.
00:35:22.810 --> 00:35:29.099 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but once that happen came on, I was like I could totally feel my tiredness.
00:35:30.830 --> 00:35:38.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so, when all was said and done, and and I was a bit dizzy, but I was able to
00:35:38.670 --> 00:35:51.470 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: bring myself back after after you know. About an hour, an hour and a half sitting with it. It was. It was really challenging for me. just for my nervous system, for the intensity of the feeling of it.
00:35:52.460 --> 00:36:00.319 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and I crawled back, you know, went back to my room to lie down to sleep because I hadn't so really slept the night before.
00:36:03.090 --> 00:36:07.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then my roommates and I were sharing the room with with 2 of the guys.
00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:17.019 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It was really challenging. And I didn't sleep that much that much that night, either, because
00:36:18.070 --> 00:36:22.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I had gotten so sensitized to everything
00:36:24.530 --> 00:36:25.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I could
00:36:26.110 --> 00:36:34.370 hear things, I could feel things. I was lying down with my head on my pillow, and I could feel my heart beating on the side of my head
00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:42.350 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when my roommates came in. I mean, not only did I hear them, but once they settled down, and they started to sleep. I could hear them breathing.
00:36:43.300 --> 00:36:48.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I don't think any of them breathing. There were people in the room, and above us.
00:36:48.680 --> 00:36:56.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I could hear someone snoring upstairs. It was so loud to me I mean it wasn't actually loud, but I could hear it so loudly.
00:36:58.340 --> 00:37:10.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and I could hear all of this, and I could feel all of this. so it was very difficult for me to sleep, so I didn't really sleep that much that night either.
00:37:14.750 --> 00:37:16.270 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and this was
00:37:16.650 --> 00:37:22.459 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: like, we haven't even gotten into doing the real rituals and and sitting with the medicine with
00:37:22.590 --> 00:37:31.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: with the Honey Kun tribe. And and you know, we still had like 4 ceremonies in front of us over the next 5, 6 days.
00:37:32.460 --> 00:37:42.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I was just thinking to myself, Oh, my God, how am I going to get through this? I just had the most intense experience. And and and there's more to come.
00:37:44.110 --> 00:37:47.659 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I have to say I was a bit worried I really was.
00:37:51.160 --> 00:37:55.350 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so the next night we sat with grandmother, with the honeycune tribe.
00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:03.479 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and there was the the woman who was the the leader, Tumi Tuma.
00:38:05.620 --> 00:38:18.579 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and there was her eldest son, who was being groomed as as the new leader of the tribe, and he was serving, and they were like men. Go see
00:38:18.780 --> 00:38:24.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yanawa, and you know women in first timers go see to May.
00:38:24.810 --> 00:38:33.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so it wasn't my first time with dancing with grandmother, and and so I went to you, Knowa and and I drank his medicine.
00:38:34.350 --> 00:38:52.999 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then I didn't find out until the next night. His medicine was actually stronger medicine, and her medicine was the lighter medicine. and it put me into a very intense place again. It was a beautiful place. It was an ecstatic place. I mean, it felt so good, but it was so strong.
00:38:53.660 --> 00:38:58.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and for, like 3 or 4 h, it was just so present.
00:39:00.860 --> 00:39:08.300 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And even when you're having a wonderful sensation, a wonderful ceremony when that when that
00:39:10.870 --> 00:39:18.959 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: where that sensation is so strong, even it feels good. It's hard on the nervous system, and I was tired.
00:39:22.030 --> 00:39:36.169 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then finally it. It started to wane a little bit. They served Hape later in the night, and we went, and and with the honey coon. It's like you start 100'clock at night and you go until it's light outside. You go until breakfast pretty much.
00:39:36.380 --> 00:39:44.050 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I sat up. They had little back chairs, and so I was sitting up all night, which is what they recommended. They didn't want people lying down.
00:39:45.390 --> 00:40:04.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'd have to say, I really struggled. I mean, I got through the night. I was okay. but it was challenging. It wasn't easy. It wasn't what I expected. I mean, it's kind of a weird thing for the mind to reconcile that something can feel so good and can be so challenging because of the intensity.
00:40:08.060 --> 00:40:25.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And then we went until like 60'clock in the morning, and then we got, and then we got up and we had breakfast. Then I went back to the room, and then I crashed, and then I really did sleep for awhile, and then there was a meeting in the afternoon. You know I got I don't know 4, 5, maybe 6 h of sleep that day.
00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:28.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Then we had another ceremony that night.
00:40:29.780 --> 00:40:40.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and so this time they explained that Toume had the lighter medicine, and Yanau had the stronger medicine. So I went to Toumeet this night. I had one cup just like I did the first night.
00:40:40.970 --> 00:40:46.649 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I was fine. I was good. It felt nice. It wasn't too intense.
00:40:49.360 --> 00:41:01.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but then I found myself kind of judging myself a little bit. I mean, I'd spent all this money had taken time off from my business to go down to Peru. I was expecting to have some big experience. I was supposed to
00:41:01.380 --> 00:41:04.679 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: expecting to work on some deep issues, and.
00:41:05.260 --> 00:41:09.589 you know, rewire myself. And and you know I had all these
00:41:09.670 --> 00:41:10.900 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: intense
00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:13.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: expectations
00:41:15.430 --> 00:41:22.120 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and kind of I was just having this experience of like. Oh, it! It feels good! It was intense, but it feels good.
00:41:24.510 --> 00:41:26.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And then we had a break.
00:41:27.550 --> 00:41:32.389 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then we had our next ceremony. During the day time, which was with grandfather and
00:41:32.620 --> 00:41:46.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: grandfather is a very long acting medicine. So again, I've I've danced with Grandfather before I've worked with this Madison.
00:41:47.590 --> 00:41:56.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I liked it. It was. It's a very nourishing medicine for me. It's very. It's kind of a masculine medicine, you know. Grandmother's more feminine, and grandfather's more masculine.
00:41:57.950 --> 00:42:11.649 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it was a beautiful experience, long, long, lasting a long time. and then where? Where we were, was just outside of Cusco. And then the the gentleman whose whose place it was.
00:42:11.690 --> 00:42:22.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Mark Meiberg, who's wonderful individual. a dear brother in spirit for me. He took us to some local ruins that were there.
00:42:24.870 --> 00:42:33.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and we went into this this. a sort of cave that was a temple, and was called the Temple of the Womb cause. It was kind of triangularly shaped.
00:42:36.310 --> 00:42:44.319 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and you kind of go in and you create an intention, and then you come out and you're reborn.
00:42:45.690 --> 00:42:51.939 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and being on medicine and feeling the energy of the land. It's like everything is heightened.
00:42:55.930 --> 00:43:01.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If you, if you sort of take what your normal sensitivity is to things.
00:43:02.040 --> 00:43:07.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know how sensitive are you to taste sound temperature.
00:43:08.810 --> 00:43:19.520 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: noise. the you know, just all the sensations. And just imagine now you're in a land where all that is heightened.
00:43:19.620 --> 00:43:21.370 It's intensified.
00:43:24.090 --> 00:43:26.449 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that's what it felt like for me.
00:43:27.780 --> 00:43:45.659 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I mean, I felt very held and very safe, because we had such a beautiful group of people, and we had come together and and bonded together, and we were all having this intense experience. And there were other people having what appeared on the outside to be much more intense experiences than I was.
00:43:49.670 --> 00:43:54.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but for someone like myself who can be a sensitive soul. It was a lot.
00:43:55.330 --> 00:43:56.370 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It was alive.
00:44:01.180 --> 00:44:06.720 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I had a little bit of a release that day. I had a good cry on Grandfather that day.
00:44:07.790 --> 00:44:11.350 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: nothing's
00:44:11.390 --> 00:44:15.490 so huge, nothing monumental, nothing earth shattering.
00:44:18.070 --> 00:44:26.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Then it was quite interesting what happened afterwards, so I need to take a another break, and when we come back
00:44:27.830 --> 00:44:31.439 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'll let you know what really my big lesson for the trip was.
00:44:32.680 --> 00:44:39.809 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and maybe this is a lesson that some of you might relate to might
00:44:42.020 --> 00:44:44.619 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: have a message for you in this lesson.
00:44:45.130 --> 00:44:57.250 So everyone, please stay tuned. You're listening to the conscious consult now are weakening humanity. I'm speaking all this hour about my first, ever trip to Peru, the land of magic.
00:44:57.490 --> 00:45:02.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and when we come back I'll finish up and tell you my big insight for the trip.
00:45:25.670 --> 00:46:02.250 We interview experts have live coaching and tackle these challenges. Listen to the hard skills. On Tuesday, at 5 pm. Eastern on talk radio dot. Nyc. hey, everybody, it's Tommy. Gee, the nonprofit sector connector coming at you from my attic each week here on talk radio.

00:47:07.490 --> 00:47:12.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: do. At this point. I've had 3 ceremonies in Peru.
00:47:13.340 --> 00:47:14.580 We're going.
00:47:14.620 --> 00:47:19.359 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and this is about the fifth or sixth day that we're there, and we're going into
00:47:19.610 --> 00:47:26.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the last ceremony, which is a a heart ceremony, which is work that I've been doing for the last
00:47:27.240 --> 00:47:29.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: 9 plus years.
00:47:32.150 --> 00:47:43.940 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and of course I've I've already had 3. So ceremonies. My body is is extra sensitive, my nervous system is wide open.
00:47:44.450 --> 00:47:48.620 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I drop into the heart ceremony and
00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:54.989 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: came on strong definitely came on strong.
00:48:01.190 --> 00:48:04.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But the one thing that I was grateful for
00:48:05.630 --> 00:48:09.039 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: was the insight that came that evening.
00:48:11.220 --> 00:48:16.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it was a special evening for a lot of different reasons, and I don't really have time to go
00:48:17.570 --> 00:48:18.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: into.
00:48:19.200 --> 00:48:20.890 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and all of them.
00:48:24.740 --> 00:48:31.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But the insight I got that made everything make sense for me
00:48:38.530 --> 00:48:42.109 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: was that for me that trip was not about
00:48:46.430 --> 00:48:57.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: processing some deep trauma. rewiring myself. Well, it was, but in a different way. you know, having some deep process, like some of the other people on the
00:48:57.470 --> 00:48:58.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: trip.
00:48:59.590 --> 00:49:01.820 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It was about filling up my cup.
00:49:03.720 --> 00:49:13.349 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and I guess I really had not realized how tired I was. how much I had been doing for others.
00:49:16.780 --> 00:49:21.010 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so what came to me is what this trip was about was
00:49:22.780 --> 00:49:24.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: filling myself up
00:49:25.890 --> 00:49:29.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: energetically, physically, emotionally, spiritually.
00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:35.809 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so that I could come back and be a more effective.
00:49:38.560 --> 00:49:41.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a facilitator.
00:49:45.170 --> 00:49:50.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that I could give more of myself and help others in a bigger way.
00:49:52.640 --> 00:49:59.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it was a real Aha moment, because again it was so opposite all my expectations.
00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:03.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It was so
00:50:05.280 --> 00:50:06.989 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: different than what
00:50:07.470 --> 00:50:09.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I had intended.
00:50:13.230 --> 00:50:15.169 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I think those of us
00:50:17.610 --> 00:50:20.830 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: are in service who are servant leaders
00:50:21.750 --> 00:50:23.649 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: who give of ourselves.
00:50:24.850 --> 00:50:30.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We sometimes forget about our own needs. about the importance
00:50:32.580 --> 00:50:34.449 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of filling ourselves up.
00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:41.879 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that if we're really going to be there for others, help? Others
00:50:46.170 --> 00:50:57.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that we need to take care of ourselves, first. that if our cup is not full. If we're not giving from our overflow. then all we're doing is wearing ourselves out.
00:51:02.270 --> 00:51:08.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so for the rest of the trip, you know we did some sightseeing, did some hiking. It was beautiful. I loved it.
00:51:16.430 --> 00:51:19.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but for me the lesson was really about
00:51:23.260 --> 00:51:26.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: taking time to fill up my own cup.
00:51:28.670 --> 00:51:30.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and they come back
00:51:31.980 --> 00:51:43.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and and it's something we had arranged beforehand like the day after I come back my wife and I would go to Chicago to to house it for some friends.
00:51:46.410 --> 00:52:08.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I get there, and it's nice, and it's different. And we go to the Chicago Chinatown. And you know we're not doing too too much and tryin to take it easy. and I thought it would be nice. It would give me some space. It would give me an opportunity to integrate a bit. But really I was there. I said to my wife after the second or third day, all I really wanted
00:52:10.260 --> 00:52:11.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: was just to be home.
00:52:15.100 --> 00:52:21.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and I just got back from Chicago yesterday. It feels good to be home.
00:52:22.620 --> 00:52:29.549 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And then I realized that. you know, after such a big experience
00:52:32.270 --> 00:52:38.339 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that really I need time to be home. think we all do.
00:52:39.780 --> 00:52:46.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and home without running around home without having to do a lot of things
00:52:47.410 --> 00:52:49.549 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and just some space.
00:52:52.510 --> 00:52:59.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so I realized from now, probably until the end of the year for the next month or the month of December.
00:52:59.480 --> 00:53:06.050 Not that I don't have things to do. I've groups, I've meetings, I've shows I've all kinds of things.
00:53:06.930 --> 00:53:09.619 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but just to give myself some more space
00:53:11.050 --> 00:53:12.710 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and to allow.
00:53:15.130 --> 00:53:20.059 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and just to allow my nervous system as chance to recalibrate and adjust.
00:53:25.140 --> 00:53:27.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that it's not always about the doing.
00:53:29.140 --> 00:53:34.940 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I don't have to constantly be in the mode of do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
00:53:36.420 --> 00:53:45.269 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Sometimes. I just need to sit. Sometimes I just need to be present. Sometimes I just need to
00:53:46.950 --> 00:53:49.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: allow my cup to be filled up.
00:53:53.020 --> 00:53:56.749 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I don't know if this resonates with you or not.
00:53:57.910 --> 00:54:12.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and if you're listening to this, I don't know if this message is something that you need to hear right now. Or maybe you're listening to the podcast or the recording. And it could be years from when I actually aired this show.
00:54:19.140 --> 00:54:22.829 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But maybe sometimes when our expectations are not met.
00:54:23.940 --> 00:54:34.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we're expecting to have some deep process or do some deep work, and it doesn't happen to not judge ourselves the way I was judging myself
00:54:37.440 --> 00:54:41.379 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to not force things and push things and
00:54:41.390 --> 00:54:43.819 try to make something happen.
00:54:46.170 --> 00:54:57.530 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That may be. All we really need to do is to just accept what is and to know that we'll get the proper perspective in time.
00:54:59.400 --> 00:55:03.519 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that sometimes what we need most is just
00:55:04.670 --> 00:55:05.889 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the rest.
00:55:07.150 --> 00:55:10.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And when I mean rest, I don't necessarily mean sleep.
00:55:12.320 --> 00:55:17.870 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's not just about physical rest. It's about emotional rest, energetic rest.
00:55:20.090 --> 00:55:24.519 It's about allowing ourselves to give ourselves this space
00:55:25.660 --> 00:55:27.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: just to be.
00:55:28.650 --> 00:55:31.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And who knows what magic can
00:55:33.070 --> 00:55:38.409 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: bubble up from life when we just give room for it.
00:55:42.550 --> 00:55:55.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so in some ways, I think this was really a not just a lesson for the trip, and not just a lesson for doing this kind of deep inner work that I do. But it's a lesson for life
00:55:59.090 --> 00:56:00.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in life.
00:56:02.270 --> 00:56:06.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Maybe we just need to give some space
00:56:07.860 --> 00:56:13.289 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to fill up our own cup to allow life to support us
00:56:19.250 --> 00:56:20.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and to just
00:56:22.530 --> 00:56:25.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the without doing anything
00:56:29.840 --> 00:56:37.099 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: doesn't mean we don't make a little bit of an effort doesn't mean we don't maybe reach out to people have some conversations doesn't mean
00:56:37.780 --> 00:56:42.630 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we don't. you know. do some things in the process.
00:56:43.820 --> 00:56:46.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but that we give ourselves space.
00:56:47.140 --> 00:56:51.049 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So the title of this episode is, we travel to come home.
00:56:52.190 --> 00:56:58.540 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So I think I went all the way down to Peru and had these intense experiences, so I could come home to myself.
00:57:01.490 --> 00:57:04.039 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I could come home to the fact that
00:57:05.450 --> 00:57:08.839 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I need to fill up my own needs.
00:57:10.400 --> 00:57:13.809 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so that then I can better serve you, my tribe.
