This week, on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam is pleased to welcome Entrepreneur, Author, Speaker, and Founder, Sam Kabert.
Sam is a successful serial entrepreneur turned spiritual seeker and keynote speaker. He is known for his ability to put together teams to execute the vision. He is the Author of the #1 Bestselling book SOUL/Life Balance: A Guide to Igniting & Integrating Spiritual Awakenings, Founder of SwagWorx & Clone Yourself University, and hosts the Soul SeekrPodcast.
Despite all of Sam's ventures and business success and being recognized as one of Silicon Valley's "40 Under 40" at just age 31 years old and "Rising Star" in the promotional products industry, he soon recognized that something was missing. Sam realized that despite his success, he was unhappy. This understanding catapulted him on his most recent exploration of his life's purpose.
He is on a mission to bridge the gap between the way we conduct ourselves in business, mindful practices, how we communicate with everyone, especially oneself, all through prioritizing psychological safety and mental health first.
Tune in and share all of your questions and comments about your own attempts to be mindful and balanced in your life on our YouTube livestream or on our Facebook page.
Sam Liebowitz opens this episode of The Conscious Consultant Hour by reflecting on the deep interconnection of all things, challenging the illusion of separation that pervades modern culture. He explores how our energy, actions, and even thoughts ripple outward, shaping both our personal lives and the world at large, urging listeners to be conscious creators of a more compassionate and harmonious reality. As the episode transitions, he introduces guest Sam Kabert, an entrepreneur turned spiritual seeker, whose journey from Silicon Valley success to inner awakening serves as an inspiring testament to the power of self-discovery and mindful living.
Sam Kabert shares his journey from entrepreneurial success to deep spiritual awakening, revealing how his achievements left him feeling unfulfilled and ultimately led him to explore plant medicine and personal transformation. Through experiences with ayahuasca and psilocybin, he had profound realizations about the illusion of success and the importance of prioritizing soul growth over external accomplishments, which he later integrated through community, mentorship, and spiritual practice. His book, Soul Life Balance, emerged as a reflection of this transformation, offering a new paradigm beyond traditional work-life balance and guiding others to harmonize their spiritual and material lives.
Sam Kabert emphasizes the importance of true integration after a spiritual awakening, highlighting how many seekers initially approach practices like meditation, breathwork, and journaling as mere checklist items rather than tools for presence and transformation. He shares how deep listening to his body and intuition helped him break free from the cycle of "doing" and step into a state of "being," where each practice serves a real-time need rather than a rigid routine. As his journey evolved, he faced unexpected challenges, including personal upheaval, but found resilience through nervous system regulation, breathwork, and community, ultimately guiding others through the process of embodying their awakenings rather than simply chasing peak experiences.
Sam Kabert emphasizes the importance of preparation before engaging in spiritual or psychedelic experiences, encouraging individuals to tune into their inner calling rather than forcing the process. He introduces the philosophy of Soul Life Balance as a more holistic and spiritually aligned alternative to traditional work-life balance, helping people shift from an overly structured, masculine energy of doing into a more receptive, intuitive way of being. Sam also highlights the power of nervous system regulation, subconscious mind work, and presence as essential tools for integration, reminding seekers that true transformation comes from inner alignment rather than external experiences alone.
00:00:45.730 --> 00:00:56.450 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Good afternoon, my conscious co-creators. Welcome to another edition of the conscious consultant hour, awakening humanity.
00:00:56.770 --> 00:01:01.630 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Very, very pleased that you are all here with me today.
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:12.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Hope you're having a good day. It's a little little foggy, a little misty here in New York City, and I know a lot of the country is in a big cold blast at the moment.
00:01:12.580 --> 00:01:18.929 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but we've got a warm show in store, for you should be a lot of fun with a guest with a great name.
00:01:19.790 --> 00:01:27.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I'll introduce him in just a moment. But first, st of course, we have my blog post from a couple of years ago.
00:01:28.080 --> 00:01:40.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I think this one's kind of pretty apropos for for what we're going to talk about today. And the title of this blog post is, we are deeply connected to everything around us.
00:01:41.490 --> 00:01:45.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The illusion of separation runs deep in our culture.
00:01:46.330 --> 00:01:51.100 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Most of us are so disconnected to the world around us.
00:01:51.620 --> 00:01:57.280 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it can be easy to feel that what happens in another country does not affect us.
00:01:58.530 --> 00:02:04.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or how the rain falls in Nairobi makes no difference in our life.
00:02:04.970 --> 00:02:08.239 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yet nothing could be further from the truth.
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:17.669 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for the universe is so deeply connected that even the smallest particle in the farthest reaches of space
00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:21.260 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: can affect our existence on this planet.
00:02:22.760 --> 00:02:27.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It can be easy to dismiss this idea as pure fantasy.
00:02:27.530 --> 00:02:36.409 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Indeed, many people do so, yet science continues to bear out that this sense of separation
00:02:36.730 --> 00:02:38.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is indeed the illusion.
00:02:39.630 --> 00:02:47.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Even the recent events on our planet have shown us that one person's health can affect the health of an entire population.
00:02:48.370 --> 00:02:58.209 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Indeed, even the environmental challenges we face show us that what we do in one place affects the whole world.
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:05.689 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The recent discoveries of minute amounts of plastic in all our food, tells us a similar story.
00:03:06.300 --> 00:03:14.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We cannot escape the fact that how we treat this world affects everyone who lives in it.
00:03:15.820 --> 00:03:21.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and as we treat ourselves with either respect or disrespect.
00:03:21.970 --> 00:03:25.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so, too, do we treat others the same.
00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:30.879 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We are connected not only in a very real physical sense.
00:03:31.090 --> 00:03:35.169 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but in an energetic or spiritual one as well.
00:03:35.780 --> 00:03:41.719 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: When our energy is low or we feel down, we affect the people around us as well.
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:49.789 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If we are inspired, motivated, and we show up with a ton of life force to contribute to the world
00:03:50.210 --> 00:03:53.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: our families and our colleagues feel that as well.
00:03:54.570 --> 00:04:03.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The ripple we are in the pond of the universe surely spreads out to touch everyone and everything.
00:04:05.100 --> 00:04:10.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What we really need to consider once we admit this to ourselves
00:04:10.490 --> 00:04:14.339 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is, what kind of world do we want to live in
00:04:15.420 --> 00:04:17.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for when we put more love.
00:04:17.870 --> 00:04:27.809 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: more compassion, more forgiveness, and more kindness out into the world it reverberates on for centuries.
00:04:28.390 --> 00:04:33.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we show others harshness, cruelty, judgment, and betrayal.
00:04:34.270 --> 00:04:36.039 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It does the same thing
00:04:37.220 --> 00:04:42.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: if we want to create a better world for ourselves and those we care about.
00:04:43.010 --> 00:04:51.320 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We have to be the ones who start to create it, and we can create it.
00:04:51.870 --> 00:05:00.320 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: For we are not alone, and our connection to everything else means that we are creators of our world.
00:05:01.100 --> 00:05:15.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: As one little change in a fractal picture changes the entire image. So, too, our seemingly small contributions change the entire universe.
00:05:17.880 --> 00:05:23.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So do you consider yourself separate and disconnected from the world around you?
00:05:24.370 --> 00:05:29.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What energy do you wish to contribute to the universe.
00:05:31.110 --> 00:05:35.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So I wrote this a couple of years ago.
00:05:36.730 --> 00:05:46.270 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I guess I was just feeling this sense of how much people really feel disconnected.
00:05:47.180 --> 00:05:54.050 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: disconnected to to nature, disconnected to each other, disconnected to
00:05:54.270 --> 00:05:56.669 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: all different aspects of the world.
00:05:57.740 --> 00:06:07.300 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and when I hear people who who kind of discount
00:06:07.770 --> 00:06:12.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the effect that human beings have on the environment.
00:06:13.050 --> 00:06:18.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It really kind of hurts a bit, because
00:06:18.380 --> 00:06:24.839 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when you go to a beautiful place and garbage is washing up on the shores of that beach.
00:06:27.260 --> 00:06:31.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or you start hearing about how plastics
00:06:31.750 --> 00:06:36.669 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: are in everything around us, the food, the water, the soil.
00:06:40.590 --> 00:06:47.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and you start to really feel how much
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: our impact on the environment around us has.
00:06:55.250 --> 00:06:59.809 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I cannot. I'll speak for myself. I cannot help
00:07:02.190 --> 00:07:07.980 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but really feel this deep connection to everything that's all around us.
00:07:09.220 --> 00:07:12.379 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I see it in even little ways.
00:07:13.350 --> 00:07:22.929 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'm sure here everyone's had the experience of of going to a gathering a party something.
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:31.219 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and you know, if a couple of people are are not in a good mood, you can tell. It affects everyone else there.
00:07:31.670 --> 00:07:44.289 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But if there are people just the opposite, who are lively and energetic. And they're just like full of spirit that affects everyone else as well.
00:07:48.005 --> 00:07:50.380 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know, thing is is that
00:07:50.730 --> 00:07:55.039 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we tend to think our effect is only immediate, that we only affect
00:07:55.200 --> 00:07:58.449 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what's right in front of us who's right in front of us.
00:08:01.230 --> 00:08:08.800 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and we kind of neglect, the fact that we're electromagnetic beings.
00:08:09.660 --> 00:08:20.980 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We emanate an electromagnetic field from our body
00:08:21.300 --> 00:08:23.939 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that extends out much further than we think.
00:08:26.190 --> 00:08:36.659 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that the words we say, the actions we take, the energy we put out in the world. It doesn't just affect those in our immediate surrounding.
00:08:38.659 --> 00:08:44.949 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It is literally like the pebble dropping in the still water, and those ripples
00:08:46.250 --> 00:08:52.160 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: go out further and further and further. Yes, it may get more subtle the further out it goes.
00:08:53.450 --> 00:08:57.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But just because something is subtle does not mean it does not have an effect.
00:08:59.310 --> 00:09:07.720 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Indeed, the whole art and science of astrology is all about that. It's all about how the subtle energies
00:09:08.610 --> 00:09:17.519 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of planets and stars that are millions of miles and billions of miles away from us still affect us
00:09:17.990 --> 00:09:20.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: from the time we are born.
00:09:23.310 --> 00:09:25.940 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I know some people may discount that.
00:09:26.330 --> 00:09:27.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and that's okay.
00:09:28.050 --> 00:09:31.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Your, your reality and my reality may be very different.
00:09:32.450 --> 00:09:39.530 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But I've experienced too much. I've seen too much of of
00:09:39.670 --> 00:09:44.369 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: been educated on too many different things that I can see.
00:09:44.820 --> 00:09:55.609 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I can see the truth of it. We used to have a wonderful show on the network many years ago, called living consciously by this amazing astrologer, Monty Taylor.
00:09:55.730 --> 00:09:56.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: who
00:09:56.900 --> 00:10:19.689 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: did his show, not just around teaching people astrology, but talking about the archetypes behind it, the ancient Greek and Roman myths, behind the names of the planets and the constellations, and what it means, and the characteristics, and he really showed the depth and the flavor and the intricacy
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:26.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: with which astrology relates its particular wisdom.
00:10:28.850 --> 00:10:33.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so it gave me a very deep and rich appreciation for it.
00:10:34.230 --> 00:10:43.079 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and not just astrology. I mean, there's so many different systems, human design and engram and all kinds of stuff.
00:10:49.850 --> 00:10:54.599 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So it's really coming to the understanding
00:10:54.800 --> 00:10:58.469 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and coming to the feeling like not just the understanding in the mind.
00:10:58.580 --> 00:11:03.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but to get cultivate that feeling in the body, of how interconnected we are.
00:11:05.290 --> 00:11:09.579 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Well, one of my teachers who who comes from a small village in Peru.
00:11:09.990 --> 00:11:23.669 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, he would say. You know, when I've gone to teachings with him, he'd say, you know, here in the West people look at everything, and so separate and so different. He says the way I was brought up.
00:11:23.800 --> 00:11:28.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We see the energy and the interconnection to everyone on the subtle field.
00:11:31.500 --> 00:11:44.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the way we are in the West, and the way we're brought up. It's 1 worldview. It's 1 particular point of view. And there are many cultures out there that see things very differently.
00:11:45.340 --> 00:11:49.720 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And maybe if we can humble ourselves
00:11:50.630 --> 00:11:55.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and admit that maybe we just don't know everything.
00:11:57.270 --> 00:12:03.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and we become seekers of the truth of what's out there
00:12:03.650 --> 00:12:08.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that maybe we can learn a little bit more. Maybe we can
00:12:09.630 --> 00:12:15.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: see the connection where maybe in the past we only saw disconnection
00:12:19.230 --> 00:12:26.830 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that connection, it's true, no matter what we're putting out, no matter what we're experiencing.
00:12:29.730 --> 00:12:35.960 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so what really comes down to us and our power
00:12:37.920 --> 00:12:42.389 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is, what kind of effect do we want to have on the world.
00:12:43.640 --> 00:12:47.940 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What kind of contribution do we want to have in this life?
00:12:50.290 --> 00:12:59.369 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Do we want it to be one where we're uplifting and empowering each other and supporting each other?
00:13:01.430 --> 00:13:03.350 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Or is it one where
00:13:03.470 --> 00:13:08.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we're just trying to get ahead? And we don't care who we're climbing on top of, and
00:13:08.460 --> 00:13:11.359 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and we don't care the pain that we cause.
00:13:15.280 --> 00:13:17.810 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What kind of world do you want to live in?
00:13:19.210 --> 00:13:23.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Things are changing so rapidly all around us?
00:13:23.930 --> 00:13:30.329 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It can feel sometimes like we're in the middle of this gigantic storm, and we don't know which way is up.
00:13:33.180 --> 00:13:36.810 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Guess what we get to decide which way is up.
00:13:37.620 --> 00:13:39.449 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We get to decide
00:13:40.050 --> 00:13:49.479 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: through our own individual actions, through our own perspectives, through our own thoughts and feelings and actions.
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.709 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Do you want to live in a more compassionate world.
00:13:54.280 --> 00:13:56.499 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: How can you show up more compassionately?
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:01.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Do you want to live in a more supportive world? How can you show up more supportively?
00:14:03.910 --> 00:14:07.440 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Really, ultimately it comes down to?
00:14:08.180 --> 00:14:18.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What do we want to create in this life, and how we show up and what we do
00:14:19.250 --> 00:14:24.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that ripples forward beyond our imagination.

00:19:16.420 --> 00:19:39.450 Sam Kabert: Oh, it's in my blood. My parents and their parents pretty much just kind of happened. That's definitely a story there. Just how I started my business in college, and I just kept going from there. And I think, reflecting back on it, too. I had gotten a dui when I was 23, or something like that.
00:19:39.450 --> 00:19:39.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And.
00:19:39.950 --> 00:20:08.880 Sam Kabert: And it was 4th of July in South Lake Tahoe. I live in California, and I remember coming back to like the campsite in the morning, and there are some people there. There's like 40 of us. So some friends of friends, if you will, and someone going like welcome to the club, and I remember hearing like welcome to the club, and kind of like joking about and being like I don't want to be in your club, you know I was. I was already like demoralized, so that really was like the chip on
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:15.179 Sam Kabert: shoulder that led to the next events of the synchronicities there that led me to starting that business.
00:20:15.470 --> 00:20:17.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Oh, okay, okay.
00:20:18.541 --> 00:20:28.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so you got into kind of being a serial entrepreneur. You started, you know, one business and then other things.
00:20:28.380 --> 00:20:32.890 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What kind of brought you to that point where you realized
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:42.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you wanted something more than what you had because you were. You were pretty successful, right? You were being recognized as a pretty successful entrepreneur at the time.
00:20:42.910 --> 00:21:06.900 Sam Kabert: Yeah, I mean, it was achieving my goals, you know. I think in a lot of ways there's a influencer. What's his name? It's escaping me right now. I think it's Steve Weatherford. He was a kicker or punter for the New York Giants, and I remember him talking about winning the super bowl, and then, being like, Oh, there's got to be something more. And that was exactly how it felt for me. It was like I was chasing these goals.
00:21:06.900 --> 00:21:18.329 Sam Kabert: and once I had gotten to this place of peeking at my version of my Mount Everest, it was like, Wait, I still am not feeling
00:21:18.330 --> 00:21:41.779 Sam Kabert: any different. I'm still like numb inside, right? It was a numbing depression then, through doing the work the past 6 years or so. Now I know so clearly that on a subconscious level I was saying to myself, when I achieve ABC. I will feel Xyz. So it was really this we could call it chasing of success, pursuing success, whatever you want to call it.
00:21:41.780 --> 00:21:56.870 Sam Kabert: But now I reframe that to the Yogic philosophy of Sadhana, and when I was going through my Yoga teacher training, our instructor said to name your ultimate potential is to limit your ultimate potential.
00:21:56.870 --> 00:22:21.629 Sam Kabert: And that's when it really hit me. Being like, Oh, wow! I've been chasing these goals. And I named it as my ultimate potential and focused on the end destination because I was so entrenched in personal development where now I think of it as soul or spiritual development. And now I prioritize the journey, and you know the daily spiritual practices and just mental and emotional health practices that are going to fill
00:22:21.630 --> 00:22:26.579 Sam Kabert: me up on a daily basis versus like chasing this end. Destination.
00:22:26.750 --> 00:22:30.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and I mean, was there like a
00:22:31.270 --> 00:22:36.929 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a particular moment like like that that moment when you achieved something where it was just like.
00:22:37.780 --> 00:22:54.810 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: huh! This is it? Or was it more? Something kind of gradual, like, you achieve something like, Oh, that's okay, but not so good. And then something else and something else. And it just kind of built over time. Or was it more? Something like like it just suddenly hit you. And then it was like, okay, that's it. No, I got to do something else.
00:22:55.180 --> 00:23:16.999 Sam Kabert: Yeah, I mean, you know, these synchronicities led me to my 1st Ayahuasca ceremony, and then from there I did a mushroom ceremony for healing after that, and that was all a gradual progression. But in that mushroom ceremony that's when it hit me, being like, Oh, my God! Like I cracked the code like I won the game like.
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:17.590 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know.
00:23:17.590 --> 00:23:29.499 Sam Kabert: Whoa! And and then that's when I was able to start to like defragment, if you will, and start to really be like Whoa! This isn't actually what I ever really wanted.
00:23:29.500 --> 00:23:29.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And.
00:23:29.930 --> 00:23:36.759 Sam Kabert: So, if there was a moment it would have been in the mushroom ceremony, as opposed to everything that led up to that.
00:23:37.030 --> 00:23:38.516 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Gotcha gotcha.
00:23:39.490 --> 00:23:54.320 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so you said the number of synchronicities led to you like getting involved in psychedelics using ayahuasca and psilocybin? Were they like big synchronicities, were they little things?
00:23:54.530 --> 00:24:04.699 Sam Kabert: Well back then. I didn't have in my vocabulary to know the word. I was at just such a rock bottom that it was just so. It was just so obvious. And I was at
00:24:04.700 --> 00:24:29.490 Sam Kabert: this place of ultimate surrender. And you know Ayahuasca came into my field the year before when I started to microdose with psilocybin. And I remember a friend coming into my life kind of like in the movie, limitless with Bradley Cooper and obviously microdosing doesn't have the detrimental effects as we see in that film. If any of you listening have seen it. But that that, said this.
00:24:29.490 --> 00:24:40.240 Sam Kabert: this person came into my life very synchronistically, and it was interesting. And then I started microdosing. He told me about Ayahuasca, and I was like Ayahuda and
00:24:40.700 --> 00:24:48.969 Sam Kabert: I. There was something in me. That was like, Okay, good to know that that's out there. I feel like I'll do that one day. But that scares the heck out of me so
00:24:49.460 --> 00:25:14.150 Sam Kabert: know not, for now and then it's probably like 6. 9 months later it came back into my field through a friend who that's another story, so I can get into it. But this friend had an experience, and then I watched her progression, and we went out to dinner to talk about her experience. And I remember at the dinner table me being like, what's their contact information? I'm doing it, you know.
00:25:14.150 --> 00:25:14.800 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yeah.
00:25:15.570 --> 00:25:16.350 Sam Kabert: So, yeah.
00:25:16.350 --> 00:25:29.759 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Gotcha gotcha. Okay? So you go to this ceremony. You try ayahuasca, you do a macro dose of psilocybin. You have this big realization. You see yourself differently.
00:25:30.250 --> 00:25:45.430 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but like just having that in a ceremony is not going to change your life right? What happened afterwards like, how did you take that experience, and really integrate it into your life, to make the change, to to live more authentically for yourself.
00:25:45.730 --> 00:26:10.299 Sam Kabert: Yeah, I think for me. And I've seen this now, being on the other side, being an integration coach and all that, I think for me, having the background of being like an action taker and being like all right. I understand this thing. Integration like I go from doing to being. But I have to do the things to get to being so. I can do these things to get to the being. So I took it serious and dove head in
00:26:10.430 --> 00:26:25.859 Sam Kabert: the first.st This was 2019. The 1st 6 months were very disorienting. It was very challenging because I didn't have community. All I had was the community from the ceremony. The 2 ceremonies I had done, and
00:26:25.860 --> 00:26:50.860 Sam Kabert: I couldn't relate to my current friends and family, so that was challenging, or even my like, we could call him my spiritual mentor. And then, in January of 2020, I joined Aubrey. Marcus's mastermind called fit for service, and being in that, like mastermind fellowship, which was all about like spiritual and soul development, was the game changer, especially when the lockdowns happened the next 2 months.
00:26:50.860 --> 00:26:56.609 Sam Kabert: because I was entrenched in this community, and I end up being in that community for 2 years.
00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:20.500 Sam Kabert: for the next, from 2020 to like 2022, I traveled more than I ever had in my life when most people weren't going out. You know, I was like always traveling. I was barely ever home for a month straight, just being with the community in different kinds of ways. And I started to do my own trainings and certification programs as well. So
00:27:20.500 --> 00:27:31.479 Sam Kabert: that growth just happened so fast because I invested myself putting myself out there in community versus just trying to figure it out on my own.
00:27:31.670 --> 00:27:35.139 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Gotcha gotcha! And what kinds of places were you traveling to at that time?
00:27:35.730 --> 00:28:03.369 Sam Kabert: A lot of medicine ceremonies like toad medicine is one the summits for our events. So I mean, being in California. I've spent a lot of time in Malibu surprise surprise with the medicine community down there for the summits everywhere. From, you know, Austin, Texas, to where Costa Rica, I've spent 2 months in Costa Rica in 2021 at different times. So just all over the place.
00:28:03.530 --> 00:28:05.709 Sam Kabert: Arizona, you know, all over.
00:28:05.710 --> 00:28:18.919 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Right? Right? Gotcha gotcha. Okay? So you've done all this work. You're taking the action. You found community. What got you to the place of deciding like I need to write a book about this.
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:44.759 Sam Kabert: Oh, well, that came through in the ayahuasca ceremony the 1st night in ayahuasca. This idea of soul life balance as opposed to work life balance, but in 2020, when everyone was writing their books. And you know that the doer in me was like, Oh, I gotta write my book. I just wrote my 1st 3 books in less than a year, like I got all right. And then I heard this voice just like, No, now it's time to like, sit and be like you got.
00:28:45.160 --> 00:29:03.229 Sam Kabert: You gotta figure it out. So it took me 3 years of just like really exploring. What does soul life balance mean? How can I embody that? Then other synchronicities led to it being like, Oh, wow! Now it's time to write the book. So then, that's when I was like, all right. Now I'm gonna write it.
00:29:04.492 --> 00:29:16.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: interesting! Interesting! So you sort of took advantage of the lockdown and and of that time to really just be present to what was percolating underneath.
00:29:17.290 --> 00:29:29.059 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then sort of when the I guess when the water boiled, or when you when you felt the things matured inside of you, then you started to take pen to paper, as they say.
00:29:29.320 --> 00:29:30.610 Sam Kabert: Yeah, absolutely.
00:29:30.890 --> 00:29:32.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Awesome, awesome.
00:29:32.810 --> 00:29:54.080 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: All right, cool. All right. Let's take a quick break. And then when we come back, let's talk about what the basic principles are in your book, soul life, balance. And and how do we integrate spiritual awakenings into our daily life? Because sometimes that can be pretty, challenging, right.
00:29:54.670 --> 00:29:55.260 Sam Kabert: Yep.
00:29:55.260 --> 00:30:13.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yeah, I've met many people who've like had Kundalini awakenings, and they were destabilized for many months. So we'll get into that in just a moment, everyone, please stay tuned. You're listening to the conscious consultant hour awakening humanity. We're speaking this hour with Sam Cabert, and we'll be right back in just a moment.
00:31:48.430 --> 00:31:55.080 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And welcome back to the conscious, consultant hour awakening humanity. So so, Sam, you you
00:31:55.330 --> 00:32:00.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: obviously from your experiences, from all the things that happened.
00:32:00.760 --> 00:32:02.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You had an awakening.
00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:20.219 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and your book you talk about how to integrate spiritual awakening. So what was that process like for you? How did you learn to start to take these things you were experiencing, and and really apply them to your day to day. Life.
00:32:21.290 --> 00:32:47.099 Sam Kabert: Yeah, I mean, that just goes back to everything we discussed before joining the communities and engrossing myself into all of these different educational resources, cutting out the things that weren't serving me, and just diving deeper into it to all the work. And one thing I noticed in myself, which I'm very passionate about sharing now for people newly on the path is like, if you're approaching
00:32:47.100 --> 00:33:12.259 Sam Kabert: like, quote unquote, doing the work or your spiritual practices as a doing. Then it's probably not going to serve you because a lot of people when they're new on the path, they approach it like a to-do list, like, okay, I did my meditation in the morning. Then I did my breath, work my cold plunge, my apple cider, vinegar water. I journaled about the experience check check check right, and you know that can serve you in terms of like
00:33:12.410 --> 00:33:29.490 Sam Kabert: checking out what, how these different things are going to feel for you, and you start to intuitively understand when you can call upon them. But if you're just approaching it as like check check check, then you're just still trapped in that cycle of doing. And it's really about getting to the being, you know.
00:33:30.290 --> 00:33:40.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and what would you say supported you most? I mean, I understand, community these different practices. But but for you personally, like what supported you most in
00:33:40.630 --> 00:33:43.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in actually being different.
00:33:44.600 --> 00:34:05.409 Sam Kabert: Yeah, I mean, I had to try a lot of different things right to be like, okay, that's that's kind of my point. Here. It'd be like, all right. I'm going to wake up in the morning. I'm going to do some breath work. I'm gonna meditate. Then I'm talking about myself here. And then I'm gonna journal, you know, do all these things. And then it's like, what the heck am I doing here? And then that's kind of when that light bulb went off, being like, oh.
00:34:05.410 --> 00:34:29.550 Sam Kabert: now's a good time for me, a journal to unpack this thing and to activate my intuition, connect with my higher self, because that's what happens when you journal. Oh, now's the time for me to regulate my nervous system through breath work because I'm feeling anxiety. Oh, I have so many racing thoughts. Maybe I should just meditate. And if I do a little bit of breath work first, st that's going to help me get to the meditative state first.st Oh, got it now, this is clicking.
00:34:29.550 --> 00:34:31.149 Sam Kabert: you know things like that, or.
00:34:31.610 --> 00:34:46.960 Sam Kabert: Man. I need a reset. So I'm going to go to the gym and do a hot, cold therapy until I sweat it all out, and I surrender to that cold or like man. My body needs some movement. Okay, it's time for me again. A Yoga class like I probably went to
00:34:46.989 --> 00:35:16.259 Sam Kabert: Yoga classes almost twice a day for a period of time, you know, and almost every day. And then, when I became a Yoga instructor, I couldn't go to Yoga classes anymore, for whatever reason. And then I got into hot 26 versus flow, and then it took like the spiritual element out. But it felt so good in my body. And then I started to, you know, lift weights again and be like Whoa! Now it feels so much different being in my body, lifting weights versus the 1st 20 years of my life, lifting weights.
00:35:16.260 --> 00:35:16.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's big.
00:35:16.930 --> 00:35:41.909 Sam Kabert: Now, I'm not disassociated from my body. So it's really just trying these different things and seeing like, Hey, what fits and what's gonna land, what's gonna stick. And then obviously educational, wise, like documentaries or books. And my, podcast I launched in 2019 talking with other people and in the community. It's really, I say, community. And I know that can be kind of just like a throwaway thing. But like this is where
00:35:41.910 --> 00:35:49.779 Sam Kabert: those things are starting to get exposed to you. You're sharing links of different books or documentaries, or, Hey, do you try this? Right? So, yeah.
00:35:49.780 --> 00:36:03.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yeah, cool, cool. So it's really to me what I'm hearing underneath it all is, it's really a practice of presence, right? It's sort of like you're present to?
00:36:03.790 --> 00:36:13.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What are you feeling in the moment? What does the body want? What does the nervous system want? And then that sort of gives you the breadcrumbs of like. Okay.
00:36:13.310 --> 00:36:17.150 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: this is what's present for me. So let me engage in
00:36:17.350 --> 00:36:27.389 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in this activity, which then supports what I'm being present to, but not being so attached to it like, it's a routine like you have to do this.
00:36:28.020 --> 00:36:32.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because the next day you might be present to something different.
00:36:32.260 --> 00:36:35.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so now you're engaged. You engage in something different.
00:36:36.660 --> 00:36:49.299 Sam Kabert: Yeah, I mean, even right now, like I've done breathwork every single morning, for I don't know maybe the past 2 months, except for, like maybe 3 or 4 times, you know, and it's like those times when I'm like, Oh, I
00:36:49.300 --> 00:37:07.560 Sam Kabert: wake up 1st thing I do is breathwork, and it's like, you know, not today. I know I need it, but not today. So yeah, you know, it's it's definitely about presence for me. Presence and being are one of the same just different words to describe it, you know, but 100%.
00:37:08.090 --> 00:37:13.050 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So since you started on this path of of beingness.
00:37:13.200 --> 00:37:19.240 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what kinds of challenges have you had that are like different than the challenges you had before.
00:37:19.980 --> 00:37:31.429 Sam Kabert: All kinds, I mean in 2023, my life totally imploded. I thought I had it all figured out once again in a different kind of way, because the in
00:37:31.470 --> 00:37:57.469 Sam Kabert: February, February 20, second, 2022, I published soul life Balance, and that. And then I got into speaking, and everything just kind of clicked and took off from there. Then I got into a relationship. And then the following year, early February of 2023, that relationship imploded, and that was that was super messy. And it
00:37:57.480 --> 00:38:11.840 Sam Kabert: ended with a beautiful, beautiful baby being born that I didn't meet till just about a month ago, and he's 15 months old. So I mean, that kind of right there gives you an idea of like the implosion that happened. You know.
00:38:11.890 --> 00:38:17.943 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, sounds like, February is a very active month for you of the year.
00:38:18.280 --> 00:38:22.009 Sam Kabert: Even 2,019. It all started in February, March. Yeah.
00:38:22.010 --> 00:38:22.469 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's like.
00:38:22.470 --> 00:38:34.800 Sam Kabert: This February March time, but fortunately this February at least. Well, I guess, meeting my baby boy. Now, you know, it's still kind of that time. So it is fascinating, for sure.
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:36.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Beautiful, beautiful.
00:38:36.720 --> 00:38:41.529 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So I mean, if if someone's listening to this show and they're like.
00:38:41.820 --> 00:38:58.539 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, I'm unhappy in my life, I need to change things, I need to do something different. What would you recommend to them like? How should someone, even just to get started to want to be different do different, you know, be different in their life from where they've been before.
00:38:58.650 --> 00:39:23.520 Sam Kabert: Yeah, if that's where you're at, I invite you to join my free online community. It's called the Breath Club. And that's a great place to start, because there, I'm leading breath work every single week. I'm teaching you about the nervous system. There's a whole host of pre-recorded exercises, and for me with all the different plant and Earth medicine ceremonies. I've done all the people I've supported Pre and post integration.
00:39:23.520 --> 00:39:48.499 Sam Kabert: What's been most impactful for not only myself. But the people that I work with is learning the nervous system so that you can do breath work to regulate your nervous system, and then the subconscious mind how to work with your subconscious mind. The 2 pair well together so so great. So that's what I'm teaching, and my new book that I published last year called Overcome those
00:39:48.500 --> 00:40:12.260 Sam Kabert: overwhelm. There is a 6 step breath process to access peace. And it's basically founded on this whole idea of that. Science teaches us that our body processes emotions in 90 seconds. We literally have a physiological response. When we experience an emotion, emotions are energy in motion, yet we get caught in that triggered state, or whatever it is, because we don't allow ourselves to
00:40:12.260 --> 00:40:36.690 Sam Kabert: feel that emotion. So the stick, 6 step breath process teaches you how to process that in as little as 90 seconds, so that you don't have to carry that baggage with you, because yes, it's great to do big breathwork journeys or buffo ceremony, or plant medicine. However, that looks plant and earth medicines or psychedelic therapy, those are those big times. But if we're not going to find ways to
00:40:36.790 --> 00:41:04.240 Sam Kabert: actually address things as they come up. Then we're going to have to continuously go back to have those massive, massive breakthrough experiences, which is why I'm so passionate about integration and learning, not how to necessarily manage things as they come up, but actually process them, because management is more like compartmentalization so you can get through it. But you're not actually unpacking what it is that you compartmentalized.
00:41:04.240 --> 00:41:05.799 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:41:06.220 --> 00:41:19.150 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yeah. And and processing, the the things that come up in the moment is so so helpful. So we don't have to carry around that energy with us. I know Peter Levine, you know, really
00:41:19.270 --> 00:41:25.079 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the creator of somatic experiencing. He's famous for for
00:41:25.280 --> 00:41:49.839 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: educating people about how animals when they are in a situation, you know, when a gazelle is being chased by a lion right, their body is getting pumped with all the cortisol and the adrenaline, and they're running, and then they maybe they escape from the lion. And then what do they do to regulate themselves? They shake right, and then animals shake, and that then they shake it off.
00:41:50.250 --> 00:42:11.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then they go back, and it's almost as if they were never chased by a lion before. So that's the way animals sort of regulate their nervous system. And for us as humans, you know, we can't be like in our office at work one day and then just start shaking because we're upset over something. But we can breathe right. We can always take some time out and take some breaths.
00:42:12.040 --> 00:42:37.030 Sam Kabert: Yeah, basically, what happens? There is from a young age, you know, if we have a tantrum or we're expressing ourselves. And we're told that we're being too much. So we shut down, and that starts the process of dissociation. So so many of us are just not even aware that we're disconnected from feeling. So to your point. It's not even like that. We need to shake it off. It's just that we need to allow ourselves to feel it, and that
00:42:37.030 --> 00:42:45.830 Sam Kabert: where a lot of times it's like man, this is uncomfortable. It's like, Heck, yeah, that's great. Get excited, that it's uncomfortable, because that means that you're moving through it.
00:42:45.830 --> 00:42:52.349 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Right? Right? Yeah. One of my old teachers used to say, revel in the awkward phase
00:42:52.470 --> 00:43:02.159 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that when we feel awkward and when we're like in the middle of this like, that's when we're growing. That's when we're learning. That's when we're actually doing our work.
00:43:06.340 --> 00:43:14.059 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'm gonna well, that question. I'm gonna wait till after the break, because we just got a a couple of minutes before the break. So
00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:20.600 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: with what you're engaged in now, you're you're really focusing on integration. It sounds like education, a lot.
00:43:22.120 --> 00:43:22.780 Sam Kabert: Yes.
00:43:23.980 --> 00:43:44.409 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'm wondering, how do you feel about sort of what's been happening in the psychedelic plant medicine world in general, you know, most people know. Maps had this application for clinical trials with the FDA. It got rejected, and and now they're probably going to have to
00:43:44.410 --> 00:43:56.629 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: sell maps to somebody in order to raise money to be able to go through the clinical trials again. I know Psilocybin and Lsd. There are companies that are in clinical trials for those.
00:43:56.770 --> 00:44:04.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: How do you feel like what's happening in the? I guess the psychedelic medical application of all this stuff.
00:44:04.720 --> 00:44:22.090 Sam Kabert: Yeah, I think that's something that's going to take longer than 60 seconds to unpack. But you know, I think there's a lot of things to be hopeful for, and a lot of people that would have never been exposed interested in psychedelics are starting to say yes to it. And it's it's just.
00:44:22.090 --> 00:44:22.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And.
00:44:22.410 --> 00:44:28.180 Sam Kabert: So amazing. Like, I have a nonprofit that supports 1st responders.
00:44:28.180 --> 00:44:28.540 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Isn't.
00:44:28.540 --> 00:44:42.690 Sam Kabert: From Ptsd, and I'm starting to hear from them how they're having these different medicine type, ceremonies, and one of them sent me a podcast from a former firefighter that started her own nonprofit that takes firefighters to.
00:44:42.690 --> 00:44:59.840 Sam Kabert: I think she takes them to Mexico for ayahuasca ceremonies. And they're talking about buffo. And all these things. And I mean, yeah, in my lens of the world things are expanding and opening up. That's what I'm experiencing in my lens of reality.
00:45:00.310 --> 00:45:10.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Gotcha. Gotcha. Yeah, yeah, I I would agree with that. And and we'll, we'll see what the future will bring. But it seems like we're heading to a world where
00:45:11.060 --> 00:45:16.869 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: working with plant medicines, working with these powerful substances is going to become more and more accepted.
00:45:17.340 --> 00:45:32.709 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: All right, Sam, we're going to take our last break of the show, and when we come back I just want to kind of go over. We've talked a lot about integration. We haven't talked too much about preparation, so I'd like to sort of take the step back and go through the arch of
00:45:32.850 --> 00:45:53.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: preparation, experience and integration, and maybe we can give our audience some tools for that aspect. Okay, cool. So everyone. Please stay tuned. You're listening to the conscious, consultant hour weakening humanity. We've been speaking this hour with Sam Cabert, and we'll be right back to tie it all up in just a moment.
00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:37.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: All right. So so, Sam, I want to just take a step back for a moment
00:47:37.580 --> 00:47:46.429 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to look at sort of this overall process of integrating our spiritual awakenings, whether it's through plant medicine or or other practices
00:47:46.820 --> 00:48:09.260 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that normally we tend to think of like, there's sort of this preparation phase. There's the actual experience. And then there's the integration of that phase. And so we've talked a lot about the experience and the integration. But what about the preparation. What do you recommend for people to how to prepare before they go to engage in these kinds of experiences?
00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:33.510 Sam Kabert: Yeah, yeah, I wrote a book about this. There's always a book, right? This one's called psychedelic Compass. And it's a workbook with like covers all that these questions. And and it's got journaling prompts and things like that. But to say, just like high level, recap it for me. It's about being called, you know, if we're thinking about going to
00:48:33.510 --> 00:48:42.470 Sam Kabert: psychedelics and medicine, and we're approaching it like we would a vacation like rolling up our sleeves, and that masculine doing energy, then it's
00:48:42.470 --> 00:49:07.449 Sam Kabert: probably not the right time. The caveat for that is like, if if things are hitting the fan, and it's really like you really need it, and you've done your due diligence, and you're approaching it in that masculine energy. Then absolutely, by all means. But, generally speaking, if we're just like, you know, I'm not really sure if this is right for me, or whatever just like, put the intention out there, and if it comes, it comes great. If it
00:49:07.450 --> 00:49:32.170 Sam Kabert: doesn't, it doesn't right. But there are other things that you can do, you know, as powerful as Earth and plant medicines are. They're not necessarily the answer right? Because we can't just keep going back to these medicines for the answer we have to learn how to integrate for ourselves. And I was having this conversation with someone. 2 days ago she reached out to me from
00:49:32.170 --> 00:49:52.119 Sam Kabert: podcast. She heard me on or something, and she hasn't had experience with psychedelics or any of that. And I started to ask her questions about like, Okay, what are you currently doing for your mental and emotional health? And asked her some basic things, including like the subconscious mind. And you know, there are some
00:49:52.180 --> 00:50:07.669 Sam Kabert: cases where someone's got no experience with even smoking weed, let alone psychedelics, or they're not even doing the work. And they go straight to the top with Bufo. And it works out really well for them. There's also other cases where
00:50:07.670 --> 00:50:30.049 Sam Kabert: it doesn't work out for them, and then they go through a dark night of the soul because they're not prepared for it. But then there's the spiritual side that hey, all is perfect and happening exactly how it is meant to right, because they're learning a lesson when they finally do, because they always come around in my experience of seeing them. So there's a lot to be said on this topic, but in terms of like.
00:50:30.330 --> 00:50:54.069 Sam Kabert: if psychedelics are right for you, or if something's feeling off my simple solution is not just like learning to regulate your nervous system and learning about the subconscious mind. But the philosophy and practice of soul life balance as opposed to work life balance because work, life balance is double Yang. And to understand this, the Yin Yang or Yang. The Yang energy is a
00:50:54.070 --> 00:51:19.050 Sam Kabert: doing. It's about responsibilities and obligations in the outer world. So work, life balance is double Yang, energy, soul life balance prioritizes the Yin energy 1st and foremost, being like what's going on your inner world with your mental and emotional health, and then your connection to something greater than this human experience, and when you adopt that type of philosophy, things will shift for you. The last thing I'll say
00:51:19.050 --> 00:51:48.740 Sam Kabert: about that is like you look at the programming of work-life balance, the work life balance. There's a w in work and L in life, typically in phrases like this, the the letter closer to the A would be first.st So it would be life, work, balance. And if work, life balance was actually serving us, we would call it life work balance, because the whole purpose of work-life balance is to prioritize things in your quote, unquote life over work. So why are we saying work-life balance? Well.
00:51:48.740 --> 00:51:49.180 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We're saying.
00:51:49.180 --> 00:51:57.989 Sam Kabert: Oh, hey! Like you probably should. But like subconsciously, I'm going to speak to your subconscious mind and let you know you should always prioritize work over your life.
00:51:57.990 --> 00:51:58.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So.
00:51:58.760 --> 00:52:05.900 Sam Kabert: For all those reasons, I would say, to practice and sit with this philosophy of soul life balance, to see if it resonates with you.
00:52:05.900 --> 00:52:09.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see how you know
00:52:09.990 --> 00:52:24.989 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: your background of sort of coming from this entrepreneurial, very masculine. Go, go, do kind of stuff, how it's really sort of done a 180 for you, and that now you really have learned to like.
00:52:25.640 --> 00:52:38.089 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: be more in in sort of the the more feminine sort of receiving and being and and focusing on like what's really serving me in the moment, and not what do I got to do. What do I have to achieve?
00:52:38.560 --> 00:53:05.189 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And indeed, it seems like in the world in general. There is a little bit of this kind of battle between the masculine and feminine. You know they talk about, you know the patriarchy, and now is the rise of the matriarchy, yet still that there's a very strong grip that the patriarchy has on the world. And I'm just curious from more of a spiritual perspective.
00:53:06.140 --> 00:53:12.280 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: How do you see what's happening like? Do you have a way of sort of viewing the world that
00:53:12.390 --> 00:53:15.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: gets it to make sense for you personally.
00:53:18.350 --> 00:53:43.329 Sam Kabert: Do. I have a way of viewing the world to make sense of for me personally? Yes, I focus things that are in my direct awareness. I don't watch the news. I don't get caught up in other people's agendas. I just heard it was a workshop yesterday, and I love this. Someone brought in Mel Robbins new book and her new philosophy of Let them, and you know I haven't really engaged with her new book, or
00:53:43.330 --> 00:54:08.299 Sam Kabert: much of it. But I've seen her do some social media posts about her philosophy of Let them. And I'm like, absolutely like that's that's the mindset I've had these last several years of people are going to do what they're going to do. And if that triggers something in me then, as opposed to look at them, and this is just a worldview, right? I'm talking about like individual relationships. But it also goes to the world
00:54:08.300 --> 00:54:33.280 Sam Kabert: view like of what's happening in the world, politically or anything else being like what is coming up in me. If there's a trigger in me, then it's not about what's happening out there, it's about what's happening inside of me. And that's where I can do the deeper work, because I hear from people all the time like that are doing the work right quote unquote work. They're like, Oh, I want to get into shadow work now. And I'm like, Oh, that's cute. You think you're not doing shadow work now
00:54:33.280 --> 00:54:58.429 Sam Kabert: by doing the work, because shadow work is just the deeper layers. Right? Anytime we're going to not look at that thing coming up. We're no longer doing the shadow work. So just by quote unquote doing the work, that is the same thing as doing shadow work. The only time you're not doing shadow work is when you're numbing, avoiding, distracting yourself, or blaming something outside of you versus looking at what it's bringing up within you.
00:54:58.690 --> 00:55:02.640 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. I'm really glad you brought that up, because I've always
00:55:02.820 --> 00:55:17.939 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I don't know. I've always kind of had a hard time with just the term shadow work, because I kind of feel like it separates this aspect of ourselves when it's really something that's a part of us. And like, you say, it's like, if we're doing our work.
00:55:18.430 --> 00:55:29.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know, shadow is a part of that. And and yeah, it's it's when we avoid that. We're not doing the work, but it's not not doing the shadow work. It's just not doing the work period.
00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:34.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So it's it's a more holistic view of things. So I really appreciate that.
00:55:35.034 --> 00:55:37.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Sam, unfortunately, I we
