Reboot Your Nervous System with Dr. Amy Albright

In this Episode

• [07:19]Dr. Amy Albright describes her grandpa’s influence, who encouraged her to go to acupuncture and shared profound insights about consciousness and meditation.
• [13:15]Dr. Amy Albright says that true intelligence comes from connecting to the All That Is, an infinite wellspring of knowledge and wisdom, rather than relying solely on human IQ.
• [19:08]Dr. Amy Albright explains that true intelligence, performance, and transformation arise when we align with the infinite field, consciously regulate our attention and nervous system, and devote ourselves with heart and presence to truth, connection, and the sacred.
• [19:44]Dr. Amy Albright shares that pain often arises from resistance—either to life circumstances or within one’s energetic field—and that transformation begins by addressing this resistance.
• [33:29]Dr. Amy Albright explains that energy, including acupuncture and bioenergetics, operates in pipelines within and around the body, influencing our physical, emotional, and energetic states.
• [39:04]Dr. Amy Albright discusses that thought forms, such as beliefs about money or societal constructs, are not universal truths and can be recognized, released, and rewritten within our energetic field.
• [40:58]Stephan reflects that true wealth and honor come from God, not intellect or effort, and that life’s challenges often carry blessings revealed only in hindsight.
• [44:49]Dr. Amy Albright explains that true service and fulfillment arise when we recognize that humans are part of nature, not superior to it, and that extracting credit from the All That Is is a misalignment.
• [48:46]Stephan reflects on Bruce Wilkinson’s book You Were Born for This, highlighting a process of volunteering to deliver God’s miracles rather than simply doing good deeds.
• [59:10]Dr. Amy Albright outlines her range of offerings, including one-on-one strategic advising, executive coaching, hybrid programs, and fully online courses designed to apply consciousness, brain science, and biohacking to personal growth

Amy, it’s so great to have you on the show.

Yeah, thank you. It’s going to be a fun conversation. I’m glad to be able to move forward, perhaps on some of the topics we’ve already covered.

Yeah, so we’ve had some great conversations. We met on Moskito Island, which sounds kind of terrifying, I suppose, so somebody who doesn’t know what we’re talking about, it’s not all about mosquitoes and getting eaten alive. It’s in the British Virgin Islands. And we were both speakers at a mastermind event run by Yanik Silver, who was a past guest on this podcast, an amazing marketer and author and a spiritual person, a really inspiring guy, and he runs a mastermind called Maverick. 

So that’s how we met, and I’m really excited to continue the conversation we had on that island and illuminate some concepts that maybe our listener or viewer hasn’t been exposed to much before. So let’s start with your kind of superhero origin story. How did you get to where you are now? Did you have some crazy story of struggle that you had to overcome to get where you’re at?

Yeah, multiple levels of crazy struggle story, but I feel like that has been the gift, really, if we overcome those struggles and those challenges, they turn into our gifts and blessings. So, as a tee-up, I really live in a very rich intersection of neurosciences. I’m a Doctor of Chinese medicine with an academic background, but I work in a laboratory. I’ve worked alongside a neuroscientist for many years, leading with coaching, advising, redirecting and training the brain to perform better. 

The struggles and challenges in our lives can become our greatest gifts and blessings—if we choose to overcome them.

So I’ve been in all kinds of roles. I’ve done everything from helping to catch babies, no, will not catch, but help to be present while babies are being caught, to boardrooms of multi-billion dollar companies and providing guidance. It’s been a really wild and diverse career and lifetime. So, to answer your question, what drove it all? It’s, I mean, I couldn’t have planned this course. I couldn’t have charted it on purpose if I tried. But I definitely don’t believe it’s accidental. I grew up, let’s say, a little girl who listened to the wind, kind of, hearing the soundless tones and understanding things from the world beyond. 

But then, as I got in. In my older childhood, I had had so many places where I was traumatized and just burned by life and by a very chronic and complex health situation that I had been having my whole life, that I felt, actually, that I was an atheist. When I, as an atheist, had waited not just as an atheist, but as an atheist studying Neurosciences at university, had a massive spiritual awakening experience at 18 that was unprompted and unexpected, which really set my life off on a different trajectory. 

And basically, for the last 32 years, I’ve been weaving in the rigors of science, not just popular Science, as it’s kind of put out into society, but deep understanding of medical literature and scientific rigor, and also a depth of understanding and exploration into what is the sacred, and what does it mean to be human, and who have we always been, and what is the meaning of life, and yet all of those things anchored into. So how do I scale this business? How do I rework? 

How do I do this merger, or do this exit and work with post exit stress and all of the things that can kind of come with that, the life transformations, there’s all sorts of things that I found myself in as a meaning maker and a way finder, and someone that can serve essentially, as a guide to people in all different phases of life. So thanks for listening to my answer. But man, it’s hard to describe what I’m up to, because it doesn’t fit on a business card. And definitely how I got here. 

Yeah. So like, the rule of having a one-page resume, I think you might have to have like, 15 pages or something.

Just to even make the story make sense, right? Because it doesn’t seem to make sense. 

Yeah. Well, who was it? Who said that the dots don’t connect except looking backward? Was it Steve Jobs? 

That might be it. 

Yeah, yeah. Anyway, so I want to double-click on what happened to you at age 18. What was that awakening experience that took you from a scientific atheist to a believer and an awakened individual?

It was around 18 years old that my grandpa and I first had a deep interaction. I hadn’t known him very well because he and my father were estranged. And so he said, basically, two things. One is that, “I want you to go to acupuncture. I didn’t realize you’ve been so sick, and I’m going to send you.” And the other one is, “we have things to talk about, and you need to come around. I have things to tell you.” Okay, so I went to acupuncture for the first time, believing in it, not at all believing like, “oh, What’s a few more pokes and prods?” I’ve tried everything, and when I was on that table, I literally felt, I’m not saying I did, but I felt as though I was levitating and sinking, and I could hear voices, not in an alarming way. Actually, it was a very calming way.

It’s like somebody helped me open another dimension of reality. And it was absolutely a God experience. What I knew lying on the table at 18 was that there was no way that the science that I was studying, or any science that we could ever come up with, could explain the infinite nature and what it is that I was experiencing in that moment, but also just the actual truth of reality. And then I also just knew that there was a God, although I had no idea what that meant, right? It’s just that it exists. Okay, great. So it was, I call it, my big bang experience. 

It was a massive, massive trajectory shift, totally unexpected. I was tracing meridians. The guy came back in, and I could trace all the meridians and tell him what was happening in my body, and he was validating it. This is the name of that, and this is what’s happening. And yes, that’s totally right, that you’re experiencing that. And then when I went to go see my grandpa soon after that, what I realized is that he had been a profound student of consciousness and an avid meditator for about 40 years at that point, and was personal friends with the Maharishi, which is the guy that brought Transcendental Meditation here to the United States, so that there was a rich legacy inside of his knowing, and that I hadn’t had any access to it really before that. 

So the big bang experience that I had on the acupuncture table was then rounded out by me just showing up and doing my best to stay present as he was lying on some huge constructs and not allowing me to take notes. He used to say, “There are no notes. Just put it into your bones and never forget what I’m speaking to you.” Right? There’s no pressure. My grandpa was definitely a genius. 

Here’s the 24-word seed phrase. Don’t ever forget it. Here you go. 

That’s right. That’s pretty much him. He was absolutely a genius by IQ, but also massively able to tap into energetics, and had been, like I said, an avid student of consciousness and meditation. So many decades. So he was like, this is just going to be what you know.

And meanwhile, I’m trying to keep my eyes from rolling back into my head, and why are we talking about this? But I was also very drawn to all the information he was sharing. I could feel the wisdom of it.

Amazing, my understanding of this idea of accessing information, kind of in the field, instead of just relying on your memory, is that you think of yourself as a dumb terminal. You’re connected to the supercomputer, which is the infinite intelligence. It takes a lot of the pressure off remembering things, because it will pop back into your head, just like a supercomputer sends it to the dumb terminal as needed or upon request. 

And a great example of this. This is just a minor, minor moment that just stuck with me. I was watching a Netflix show called Life After Death with Tyler Henry, his Hollywood medium. You know, he meets with celebrities and connects and gets guidance and information for the person he’s meeting with, and he’s clairvoyant and so forth. Anyway, he’s pretty famous. He’s got several Netflix shows, and there was this one moment where he was trying to think of the word, and I actually know what the word is, because I asked, and I just popped in my head, but I saw he didn’t remember the word, and then I just knew he was asking for it, like something just showed that he was not trying to access his memory. 

He was just being a receiver, like an FM antenna, receiving the word because he didn’t remember it, and the word was eloped, or elope. Really cool.  So, for me, I used to believe that I was losing my memory, or that my memory was getting worse. Then I had to shift that belief, because in actuality, I can show that my memory is incredible, especially for certain types of memories, like numbers. I’m really good at remembering numbers, like phone numbers and addresses from, let’s say, my childhood that I haven’t seen in decades. 

So I had to shift that belief, which I did by looking for contrary evidence. Then I had to be open to the possibility that memory isn’t just stored in neural synapses, and it’s something that’s in the field, in the quantum field, in the field of consciousness, and that I could just access it. And that was really cool.

Yeah, that is cool. I love this conversation. I love helping people understand the very thing you’re describing. And I remember we touched on this when we were there on Moskito Island. All that is so much more infinitely capable and knowing, all knowing, than any particular human could be. So it doesn’t matter if somebody has the most ridiculous IQ ever, or if they’ve built their identity and understanding of themselves, or what it is to be successful around just that typical IQ; the real intelligence does come when we can tap into that infinite wellspring of knowledge, and not just knowledge, but wisdom. 

That’s really where we get to move into a deeper realm, where we can naturally be more strategic, more effective, and really create the reality we want by living in coherence with ourselves and the field around us, in a way that brings it all together. And I love to anchor this even further, we see inside the brains of very intelligent people. We have people from around the country and around the world come, and we look and see how they’re functioning. 

When we string moments of connection together, incredibly magical and miraculous things happen — for our health, for our business, for our connections with the people around us.

And the people that tend to be the ones that pride themselves on their intellect and be disconnected from this actually have typically some sort of a signature where there’s a huge amount of over-efforting, sometimes to the point where they’re bleeding out basically 30% of the electrical power of their brain into over-efforting. And often it’s over-efforting, either inside of just stress and rumination, worry loops about themselves, or hyper vigilance about the world around them. But often that’s really anchored inside of that belief structure that we are all separate and that we have to offend every person for themselves, and that kind of fear and separatist mentality really creates a massive taxation on the brain. 

And so then you have to wonder what would happen to those same folks. And what we see when we work with those folks is that they come into a relaxed confidence, and they’re much more capable of living a life with ease that actually increases performance, but that performance doesn’t come from the mind. It comes from a feeling of safety, a feeling of connection, and the feeling of acting as one, like a school of fish. Moves together. We’re moving together with all that is, with the energy, information, support, and resources that are actually there for us in our immediate environment and in a larger energetic field as well.

Yeah, they say in Kabbalah that you’re walking in both worlds simultaneously. So a Kabbalist who is effective in this discipline can be cognizant of both this world, the physical and the ethereal, the spiritual, the upper worlds simultaneously as they’re going about their day. I mean, that’s hard. You get lost in the game. You get lost in the movie. It’s like, it’s a really good movie, and you’re in a movie theater, and you forget you’re sitting on a chair in a comfy seat, and you have popcorn by your feet, and you’ve got a snack there too. It’s just you’re lost in the game. So we need to snap out of it and stay aware and disciplined about the fact that we’re in both worlds.

Yeah, and it’s for every moment that we can be in it. It’s a win. And if we can string those moments together, we might have minutes. And if we can string some minutes together every once in a while, now we have hours. And usually, if we can string even minutes to hours, we’re in a transcendent state where incredibly magical and miraculous things are happening, for our health, for our business, for our connections with the people around us. 

When we feel safety and we’re living inside the connection to all that is — that’s where incredibly magical and miraculous things are happening.

So the investment in that is so important, the disciplined awareness of that is so important for creating a different course of reality than we think is possible for us. We may not even be able to imagine what can happen, who we really are, or what’s even possible as reality. And when we live in that way, it shows us, rather than us feeling like we have to know, control, or make it happen. It’s such a profound shift, and it seems quite easy on one level. Then we know that it can be difficult, right, because of the story, like you said, and it could be that it’s just engrossing us with the busyness. 

I see a lot of busyness addiction. I’m overcoming my own busyness addiction, because if we create enough noise inside of our own life, if we’re constantly listening to a podcast or on the phone, we’re not having quiet. We’re not having stillness, even for short periods in our day; there’s almost an impossibility of reestablishing that deeper connection with the unseen world. But we’ve got that we’re supposed to be so busy.

Right. You don’t ever get bored because you’re constantly able to distract yourself with your favorite apps on your phone. Even if you’re spending 10 seconds in line at the grocery store, that’s like, “Oh, I’m going to whip out my phone and not be bored.” But boredom is essential to activate the default mode network, and never activating that is damaging your brain and your cognition and your ability to receive information and guidance and insight and intuition, all sorts of problems.

Totally, I would say, at a deeper level, there are about 80% of the brain’s neurons in the cerebellum. The cerebellum is sending information to the amygdala and the insula about safety and survival, and what to imprint as fear and what to imprint as joy, because the amygdala is also really important in processing and experiencing joy. So we control that right reality in conscious and subconscious ways. And when we feel we have to be on our phones even when we have 10 seconds of space in line at the grocery store, as you were saying, it’s a fear-driven response. 

What if we actually just felt the bottoms of our feet and regulated our nervous system every time we had a break, rather than putting our center of attention into a device, into basically a fabricated reality? Like, yes, everything that humans make is real on one level, but at the same time, it’s all an illusion. But we put not just a primary focus of our awareness into that, but actually our devotion into that, accidentally, if we’re not careful, and I think that that’s one of the most powerful things to really look at, is, what are we devoted to? Because if we’re devoted to truth and we’re devoted to freedom, then we no longer can be devoted to the traps, right? 

And then we start, through that devotion, to reallocate our attention, our time, and our intention in a deep way. And because all of these things are nothing that we’re speaking of can be done just at the level of the mind. It has to be done with that heart, with that desire, with that true intentionality, with understanding and having reverence for what is sacred. And it’s very difficult to find that in those quick hit kind of realities, we do really want to open up into them and live there as consistently as we can, as I said, for as many moments. It says we can string together. It’s a potent shift, yeah.

And so we’re in fear, fight or flight, right? Actually, there’s 3F: fight, flight, or freeze, and my brain goes to freeze rather than fight or flight. So it’s like the deer-in-the-headlights sort of thing. So I don’t take action when I really need to, and I need to get unstuck. But this idea of being in fear, and however that manifests, that’s your amygdala hijacking your entire nervous system and everything that you know, all your cognitive functions and your executive functions are all being hijacked by your amygdala if you’re living in fear, fear is the dream killer, right? And it’s also the opposite of love. Love’s opposite is not hate. It’s fear.

Yeah, I like that. And it’s also the intuition fear. Fear means we’re not in our intuitive capacity at that moment, at the fullest we could be. There was a quote, and I forget who said it, but if we have enough information, then we wouldn’t be afraid.

And maybe a similar sort of tack on that would be: if you have enough faith that you know God is not just omnipotent, but has your best interests at heart every moment, and that everything is absolutely, without exception, for your highest good. Then what’s there to fear?

Yeah, that is my favorite quote. One of my favorite quotes is Rumi’s Live life as if everything is rigged in your favor. Agreed. That’s not a kind of Pollyanna way of looking at things. That’s coming from a point of view that life hasn’t been easy, and there’s been a lot of trauma and struggle in my past. I’ve been able to rewrite that to where I have a life of ease by understanding what those lessons are and being able to glean the wisdom, because the life lessons will continue to repackage themselves.

So one person divorces another, then they remarry, and it’s the same person. Pull off the Scooby Doo mask, and you just keep on repeating patterns with people. And you’re thinking to yourself, how did I end up here? Or those deep pains and patterns that exist in life can continue. But what happens when we get down into that bedrock of transformation, when we really know the art of transformation, is that we can become clear and free, so that we have a sense of forgiveness of our past, a sense of deep peace with the past and with ourselves for being a creator of that stuff. 

Because I think there’s this in between where we realize we’re not victims and we’re creating our own story. But then there’s also the idea that you’d prefer the story to go differently, so we can be mad at ourselves for the story, which just puts another barrier in the way of that self-forgiveness and having that fuller resolution. But what I see, and what I help people with, is how do we get down to the place where we don’t make a self-referential story. 

We’re not talking about the traumas of our past, or we’re not referencing when somebody asks how we’re doing, we don’t tell the story about how our spouse is doing or what other people are it’s the story of what’s happening inside of our heart from a place of presence, not from a place of well, I’m an adult child of an alcoholic that grew up and with these kinds of traumas and these whatevers. And when we know that we’re free of something, we can access it as a full, clear, recollected memory. Still, we’re no longer living inside of that, making it our identity or a reference point, or even keeping it in the back of our mind throughout the day, because it’s no longer really relevant when we pull and glean wisdom from it, when that process is so complete.

Yeah, and we can unwittingly be facilitating the process of somebody staying asleep by asking them, “Hey, how are you doing? What’s happening? How are things going?” And then they’re just in this self-referential loop of sleep, walking through life. Instead, you could ask them a much more profound question, like, “Any recent miracles, epiphanies or insights? What’s the most miraculous thing that’s happened to you in recent days?” Something like that opens it up as an open-ended question that gets them to really see the miracles and the blessings, instead of just kind of reciting a script.

We are miracles — witnessing a miracle in every moment of our lives, just by observing our own biology or looking at what all of nature has created.

Yeah, I was gonna say repeating on the 3D stuff to reinforce that 3D is the only layer of reality. They’re only tracking and reporting on that one level. And honestly, a lot of people who are reporting on that, the first thing that they go to is what’s not working, or what’s the complaint, rather than what’s the win? So I love that you’re pointing them in the right direction with that question about what the latest miracle is. 

I love to help reinforce to people that we are miracles, as we, like I said, if you’ve witnessed more than one birth. I feel like we are definitely witnessing a miracle in every moment of our lives, just by observing our own biology or looking at what all of nature has created, and being able to live in awe. The wonder of that, and to be able to, I think a lot of what we’re describing is zooming out. A lot of the times, people get so myopic into what it is that they’re feeling or experiencing, meaning emotions on the surface, not the deeper ones, and then the 3D kind of happenings of life that they aren’t necessarily in that longer term, zoomed out perspective that doesn’t bypass but actually helps them to have meaning making happen, where we can start to notice the themes and patterns and trends and then create different outcomes via strategic ways of being. And one of those deepest strategies is to be in touch with our heart and our feelings.

Yeah, it’s awesome. What one thing did you give that our listeners perhaps missed? You gave a great, roomy quote, and then, towards the end, you basically said what we agreed to. So the game is rigged in our favor, and we’ve agreed to this. I think you said that, right? 

I’m not sure of it, but that is definitely how I feel. So I would say we absolutely have agreed on this incarnation, whether we’ve appreciated it or enjoyed it, right? And that, especially with our parents and some of these basic things in our lives, those are definitely agreements that we had when we came in. So we can either live in regret or the denial of what is true, or we can get really excited about it, because regardless of how someone’s story has gone up to this point. 

If we can become masters of what we have come here to learn, we get to graduate in the same lifetime. It’s not like we have to; we hope to glean moderate amounts of insight and then be reincarnated with a different outcome. The portal, the passageway, the doorway, is always right there present for us in every moment. 

If we can become masters of what we have come here to learn, we get to graduate in the same lifetime.

And I think it can help us step out of disillusionment and into the miracles and possibilities that are there for us in every moment, in our lives and in our transformational capacities. But it does require a depth of safety and a depth of trust, a depth of understanding about all these things. It’s a courageous path, but I think for many of us it’s a path we must walk because we understand that we’re creating suffering by doing anything else, suffering for ourselves and potentially suffering out in the world around us through our lives as well.

Yeah, so suffering is basically whenever we deny reality, like it’s just what’s real. It’s happening, this spiritual world is more real than the physical world, and we could fight reality, we could deny it exists, but it doesn’t help us. It keeps us caught in this trap of self-referencing, feeling pity for ourselves, and experiencing learned helplessness.

Yeah, I often say that if someone is in pain, they’re in resistance. And it can be resistance to what is of their circumstances, of their life, or that moment, but it can also be a resistance inside of their energetic field. So there’s a whole body of medicine that I’ve developed over the last 23 years, and I’m observing as a clairvoyant how people actually transform in real time. 

And I would say that there’s essentially, we’re sitting or standing inside of a vertical column of light or pipe of energy, and that pipe is the dilation of that pipe, which has everything to do with safety and security. And for those that are like, “No, I’m safe and secure”, it’s like, first off, we’re talking about a continuum, because there’s always more. The more we have in our lives, the more we actually need a deeper foundation of safety and security. Just like if we build more stories onto a building, we have to have a strong enough Foundation, or a first floor big enough to support them. 

So it’s an ever-changing landscape, and it’s not actually static, because how we feel is reflected in somewhat transient ways. Still, it’s just a baseline of safety and security. So I’ve seen plenty of highly successful, very productive, maybe, in some cases, extraordinarily wealthy people who don’t have a solid, foundational sense of safety, and they’re living in a place of panic and fear. 

So if it’s not money or success or these outward things that create that, how do we create that? And what does it mean to be safe? Because safety is actually a neurobiological reality. It’s not a thought construct. People can be out of touch with, or unaware of, what an appropriate baseline for safety is. Their relative scales of safety. I feel safe. I feel fine right now, but it may not be that their body is resting into that safety. 

So when we look at things like heart rate variability or brain function in extraordinary detail, we can find that safety. But I also, as I said, have the capacity to see it clairvoyantly. And I think that one of the most powerful tools that I’ve ever come across, that’s actually very simple, is a three-step process. And the first step is to establish safety. The second step is to establish the embodied knowing of the connection to all that is. And then the third step is to just be in that state and allow for the alchemy, the perspective shift, the miracles that are natural in that state of being, when we have safety, and we’re living inside the connection to all that is.

So if anybody is interested, I have that as a free tool on the website, and it has massively transformed people’s lives. Because I know a lot of people might be listening and saying, “Well, how do we actually do the thing?” Or they’re agreeing with us. But how do I, you know? How do I get that to happen? And so I’m really happy to be able to just give that out as a free tool for everybody. It’s deeply transformative. I’ve seen that breath, all by itself, just change people’s lives and in tremendous ways.

The portal, the passageway, the doorway is always right there present for us in every moment.

Awesome. Let’s talk a bit more about how you access clairvoyant information. So do you see auras? Can you see, for example, energy on or emanating from me or on me? Or how does that work for you?

Yeah, there’s a lot of layers to energy. So on one level, just to really anchor this, for folks who are having an eye roll at the word’energy,’ acupuncture is really well established as effective, and how it works is through energy. We’re perceiving and shifting the flows of energy that live, let’s say, more or less, within small pipelines in the body. And that energy also extends off the body. And we can measure that, and we know that our mitochondria are making energy. So anyway, this is a very, actually, quite grounded conversation. 

The predominant ways that I am perceiving, I’m set up to perceive energy would be either at the chakra level, which is kind of those energy centers as they go up and down the body. It’s actually on the front and back sides. It’s not just the front, but the chakra level, and then that pipe that I was describing, I feel like the aura is somewhat interesting, but it’s sort of just this. It doesn’t provide me with as much information. I’m sure that other people really focus on that. 

I feel like it’s a relatively static and not as interesting level of looking at. And I love the moment by moment, because I’m watching basically the way that we might watch how someone’s facial expressions are changing as we’re talking to them, I’m able to see their chakras open and contract, and so watching the whole concert of information happen, I know that if somebody says something, if they feel really safe and confident, versus if they feel insecure, and that might help me to guide the conversation, or maybe their throat gets tight. I’m so it just leads me to wonder what’s going on, that they’re not speaking, or that they’re afraid it’s being misunderstood. 

So all of that information is coming in real time and has allowed me to hone in my capacity to guide people as a coach and as a mentor, to be able to find their truth that’s underneath the truth, and to be seen with safety and love, because it’s a very deep seeing and experience also of being loved at the same time, and then the pipe, like I was saying, I mean, that’s another huge piece of information, because what’s happening down in the Root Chakra land. So, for those who aren’t as familiar with chakras, the Root Chakra is literally between the legs and has to do with safety and survival, finances, money, social placement, and things like that. 

If that root chakra isn’t feeling, if the person doesn’t have that foundational sense of safety, then the entire pipe they’re sitting in gets really small. And if that pipe is too small for what they are processing, then they have something that wants to leave up and out through that pipe. If the pipe is too small in diameter, that thing can’t leave. And how that translates is it’s a thought form that they can’t get rid of. It’s a pain that they can’t release. It’s something they know they would like to heal, but they don’t have enough space inside that pipe to do so. 

So that’s why I love it, just like I was saying, as a simple tool that’s available, because when we open up the diameter, there’s no resistance inside the pipe. So in some ways, I, you know, it’s like energy plumbing. We don’t need to make it more complicated than it is, although the experience of being alive and being a human is quite rich and complex. But on one level, we just need to have enough clearance. And another term we might use for that is resilience, to be able to process whatever is in our field or in our awareness, or even what’s happening in our body. Sometimes what’s happening in our body just needs enough space so we’re not contracting around it and can release whatever body sensations or experiences we’re having.

Now you mentioned the word thought form. Can you define that for a listener who’s not familiar with it?

So I would say that a thought form is that thoughts are not just; I feel like people don’t understand that they have actual materiality. So there’s an energy that’s associated with that. And then I think that, essentially, energy moves just like we know with light: it moves either as particles or waves, or in quantum-like behaviors and mechanics. But no matter what, if you have a thought, there is an energy attached to it. 

And so when I describe a thought form, it is the complex structure of the awareness that’s at the level of the intellect or the mind, and then also the energetics, and then also it speaks to the fact that there is a genesis of that, right? So it’s a there’s something that’s having them believe or notice that thought form in that moment, and that could be a societal construct, or that could be an old belief, or that could be a universal truth, but either way, that there’s a connection to something bigger than just what’s at the level of the mind in that moment, in their awareness, right?

So, a thought form could be something like, “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” Because a lot of people believe that, it feeds that thought form, and it becomes a societal thought form that lives on from generation to generation. Then that infects you with its unhelpfulness, and you have to try to purge it from your energy field, kind of.

That’s right, yeah, if somebody has that statement in their awareness, or they speak it out loud, then there will be places inside of their energetic field that thought form is rooted, and that rooting can be released, but just being able to recognize that it’s a thought form to begin with, it’s not a universal truth. I mean, how do we even talk about it to begin with? It’s a nonsensical term that just for starters, and what even is money like, we could really take it that far if we wanted, right?

But definitely the ability to create a sense of space and distance, rather than just accepting the belief structures that are out there in society, that were handed down to us, or that are currently imprinted in our epigenetics. What if we understand that we can rewrite it for ourselves and track how it lives inside us? Like, even right now, as we say, money doesn’t grow on trees, like, say that out loud to yourself or inside of yourself and feel how your body feels.

Yeah, that’s yucky, and I don’t recommend that.

Versus, we live in a miraculously abundant and awe-inspiring universe, right? There’s a feeling in our body. So at the end of the day, this, the talk of intuition, or our ability to navigate, is so much anchored into our ability to just track our own body as a mammal. My dog has not been studying any of the ancient arts of intuition, and she doesn’t know Rumi, but she knows how she feels, because she’s a mammal. So at some level, we need to just remain really simple in our approach, or at least come back to those basics all the time, and be sure to tune in with ourselves on that animal level where we’re getting a huge amount of insight and input about what’s really going on.

Yeah, there’s this quote in the Bible that wealth and honor come from You, like from you, capital Y, from God. And if that’s part of your prayers in the morning, which it actually is part of the Jewish morning prayers, then you recognize that your accomplishments, your skills, your intellect, are not actually what’s driving your revenue or income. It’s all God. It’s all the Creator, and you’re just giving false confidence and false credit to material things like your intellect, and actually, it’s all a rigged game. It’s going to be for your highest good in any event, but you might end up getting a painful lesson in the process that you don’t actually see as a blessing until after the fact.

Real wealth comes from living in alignment with one’s true nature, because we’re each extraordinarily unique beings.

I really feel like people end up the most successful, both in terms of wealth and also in terms of overall fulfillment, right? Because abundance is so much more than dollars in the bank account, I’ve seen billionaires unhappy and even very miserable. So the real wealth comes from living in alignment with one’s true nature, because we’re each extraordinarily unique beings.

We have so much in common, but how do we live in a way that honors ourselves and our life’s path? And I think that when we fall into that, then we are basically showing up to be of service to what it is that we said we would come here to do as an individual, and what it is that we’re a part of in terms of the collective. I’ve seen that being richly rewarding creates for people, in so many cases, revenue that they didn’t anticipate, career paths that are very unusual and often a huge capacity to serve, which, when we feel that fulfillment and that connection with what the work is that we’re doing in the world. 

We’re no longer prostituting ourselves for the dollar. And I just want to call that out, because I think a lot of people think that success is prostitution, and I would like to say, No, it’s not. I don’t know of anybody who’s a happy prostitute, and it doesn’t matter how much money they make. And I’m not speaking only, of course, to the sexual prostitutes. Still, for people who are willing to sell out to make money, to do things that they don’t believe in, or do things in a way that is extractive and uncaring in its nature, this is living to the false God of money, and it is a form of prostitution. I want to be able to call that out and have people who are in positions of wealth and power live differently, because we don’t have to prostitute ourselves to be successful. It’s just not. It’s a bad equation that we were taught.

Yeah, like, you don’t have to tolerate a bad client. You don’t have to tolerate a bad customer or business partner. It’s a choice. I found the Bible quote, by the way: it’s 1 Chronicles [29:12] states: “Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all.” It’s calling in our humility, or it’s not the power of our right hand that’s making all the dough. It’s all a gift, and we get to feel like we’re earning it, but it’s still a gift.

Yeah, absolutely. And to understand that when we work in service, when we’re understanding the bigger picture, let me back up a step. It’s when we recognize that we were taught that we are better than nature. I think some of this may have come from a misunderstanding of the Bible. But regardless, however, it got put into our society that we are more important than nature, rather than being a part of nature, right? Going back to the comment that I had about that we are mammals, or that we are interwoven into this whole multi-dimensional and rich context here on planet Earth, if we believe that we’re better than it. We get to extract from it, and we’re trying to take credit for things that aren’t ours to take credit for, and that’s not a fair thing. 

When we extract the credit from the All That Is, or the god-level of understanding, and try to make it ours alone, it’s basically reflecting the myopic point of view we have, wanting to be corrected because it’s not possible. There’s nothing that happens on its own here. The water is recirculating into the air, into the river, into the ocean, and so is everything that we are doing as we move through those motions. 

And so thank you for bringing us to that. I think it’s so important to not just have this knowledge set off, oh yeah, we’re all connected, or we should be there for each other, but also to be able to hold that feeling of empowerment. Because this isn’t what we’re saying as we speak to this, we’re not saying that people should be neutered of their sense of empowerment. That’s not it either, right? But how do we do it accurately?

I mean, if you can surrender and you can also take responsibility, like, this is a profound and difficult thing, it’s easy to say, but very hard to do, like, take 100% responsibility for everything that happens to you, for you in actuality, even if it just seems like a total victimization, because everything is agreed to. This is a rigged game, and you signed the contract. You signed all the soul contracts with everyone who has come into your life, for good or for bad. It’s all part of the game.

Yeah, and those patterns don’t have to repeat if we get the wisdom right. So if we want the game to change, how do we take that root cause, and how do we understand that as we not just find the root cause and sort through the painful parts of life, but as we also sit in the joy and the gratitude of the wins and the successes and the miracles. How do we find the wisdom of that right? And I think that’s kind of what we’re getting to, and when talking about like, we can’t take the credit for the successes that come. 

When I’m working in the intuitive spaces, I’m not taking credit, nor should anybody else. I do take the credit for myself, preparing myself as a vessel, choosing not to drink alcohol or eat gluten, because I know those are bad for me, right? There are some things that I have to do to be really strong as a woman, as a human, but ultimately, the information and the blessings that come through for folks are divine. And if I were to get confused on that, then it’s my giant ego out there in the world creating more ego stuff, versus the actual, which is that there is an element of my individual reality and my individuation that’s extremely important to acknowledge. At the same time, I’m operating within all that is, and holding both true can be tricky. I think that it’s the actual.

There’s a book I read years ago by Bruce Wilkinson called You Were Born for This. And the last step in his process is to volunteer to deliver God’s miracles, instead of living in the land of good deeds, which is just, you know, kind of 3D reality. You volunteer, you opt in to deliver God’s miracles, and they’re going to be challenges for you. It’s gonna, it’s not gonna be comfortable. You’re gonna have to get outside your comfort zone and help people you’re being guided to, even if you don’t want to. You know, because it’s just the nature of how that works. 

And the last step of this process that Bruce goes through is to transfer the credit, like a miracle happens, as a one-in-a-trillion chance thing happens. And, you know, a great example of that we talked about in a past episode. It was a group episode. It was, yes, my friend Angelo is in one of the mastermind groups we’re in, and he shared a story that we also shared on the podcast. And that was when he was at a diner with his family, and he felt guided. We were reading that book. You were born for this as a group, meeting every Friday on Zoom to discuss it, chapter by chapter. 

And he reported that one week he went to the diner, or whatever he was told to give a large amount of money. I mean, large for a tip, $109, which is a strange amount, but that was exactly what was in his, what Bruce refers to as the God pocket, that says, like a separate envelope or wallet or pocket where you keep money that is God’s money that you are guided to deploy. So he’s like telling this waitress at the end of the meal, ” How does a $109 tip sound to you? And she tears up, and she starts balling, and she shows a text message exchange with her mother from that day that said, “Honey, I don’t have money for my meds this month. Can you please help me out? It’s $109,” and her daughter, the waitress, texts back, “I’m sorry. I can’t even pay my own bills. I can’t pay you your $109. I’m sorry.” Like, what are the odds? Right? 

So when you volunteer, when you surrender to this and allow God to work through you, you’re the pizza delivery guy for his miracles, and the most incredible things happen when you do that, and if you remember to volunteer daily. So it all starts with this quote from Isaiah 6:8: “Here I am, Lord, please send me.” And so imagine, you know, he’s this super psychic, right? He’s able to do clairvoyance and all sorts of things, and he’s astral projected to this, basically, a board meeting where God is assigning out miracle assignments to Archangels. And here’s Isaiah. Oh, Isaiah, interrupting the board meeting and saying on the side, “Hey, excuse me. Can I have some assignment too? Here, here I am. Please send me. I want to do it too.” 

So that’s something I incorporate into my morning prayers. It is to ask God to send me. I want assignments too. So the last part of this process, which was the first part, is volunteering, having that interest and that desire, and the last part of it is transferring the credit. Here’s $109. “Wow. This has changed my life, and I can’t believe it. Like, how did you know? Like, you must be psychic, and you’re like, What a gift you are.” And like,” this is all God, I’m just the messenger.” The answer saying I’m the messenger puts an ego and an importance on you, and it’s like, no, this is all God. We’re all just instruments of the Creator, working miracles through this physical reality. This is from God. This is for you, from God.

I work for God, and I serve the people. There’s a huge amount of presence in that — and a relief that comes when you don’t feel like you have to control all the outcomes.

I’ve been working inside of this space, and I really appreciate this conversation. I frame it this way: I work for God. I serve the people. So I am a servant. I am not superior, and it doesn’t matter the frame. That’s just how I hold it, right? And in other words, it could. I could be interfacing with someone making my Matcha Tea Latte, and I show up as a servant, which is very different. It allows for a huge amount of presence, because there’s not necessarily anything I’m being called to do, being guided to do, but the way I say it, what you said earlier, is like, I just take really good instruction. My job is to just be a really good servant to the divine in that way. 

And so wonderful, if that’s a miracle for you, that I mean, it brings me joy, but I’m not going to get lost inside of myself, because if I get lost inside of myself in a certain way, what can happen is I’m actually blocking the flow of miracles. Because when we’re lost inside of ourselves, when we’re disconnecting from, on an energetic template level, on a field level, from the all that is and the truth of that interconnection, we’re actually blocking the next happening. And so that’s really a potent part of continuing to live inside of the miracle is, I do think that it’s very important for us to be, you know, proud of ourselves for showing up in that way, but the way that we might be if we were proud of ourselves when we were five for tying our own shoes. 

It doesn’t make us more important. It just means that we got to do something really cool and fun and keep it simple on that level, right? And just be excited about it like a child. And the potency of the excitement doesn’t wear off. At least in my estimation, I feel like you’re in that too. Doesn’t matter how many decades you’ve been playing this game; you’re still excited. And that’s actually a really important thing on a neurological level, a lot of highly successful peak performers have broken their capacity to receive reward, and we can see that in the brain, they don’t have a sense of reward, so they’re onto the next thing and onto the next thing. And what that means is they’re not inside of love and gratitude, and they’re not inside the present moment, because they’re into the next thing. 

You can’t be prepared for everything in life—but you can be present enough to meet whatever comes.

Living inside of that space is very important, but ultimately, I’m just here to do what I’m told, and I think that that makes life a lot more interesting. And there’s a relief that comes when you don’t feel like you have to control all the outcomes, because we can’t be smart enough or prepared enough or whatever for everything that can come in our lives. Still, we can be attuned so that we have the equipment, the skills, and the presence we need in every moment, as you said. Even if it’s not internal, just give it another breath or two in a relaxed, calm way. And if we’ve practiced regulating our nervous system, then it becomes very easy to find that regulation and not block the intuition or the ability to then move it up into that prefrontal cortex and be strategic about how we implement the wisdom, how we interpret the information as it’s coming into our awareness, right?

So, having arrogance or hubris blocks the miracles. It blocks intuition. What I find is also not being discerning about what you watch, listen to, or look at. If a guy is eyeing girls on the street all the time, that’s gonna mess with their ability to receive intuition and to receive miracles and to be walking in both worlds simultaneously.

Yeah, it’s not that, you know, sinner be damned kind of mentality around it. But it’s just like, which frequency do you choose? Because if there’s a presence to those beautiful women on the street, it’s extractive, and there they are. I’m going to pull energy off of them, which is how a lot of women describe being ogled: they can feel something just gross happening to them, and then they’re not in that energy of interconnectedness. It’s totally okay if they want to say, “wow, look at that beauty like that’s wondrous,” but they’re in a place of both giving and receiving and awe and wonder as they would over a tree or a mountain or, you know, a kitten or something like that.

You know, then, that man is doing that, though, 

Yeah, I don’t know 

When he’s odd, when a woman is not doing that.

That’s not the vibe. That’s not what’s happening. But just to say that, you know, it’s not that we have to live in such a way that we don’t have positive experience, but just that, how does that positive experience really get framed, and what are we really doing with it? And it is a choice. We’re making choices all the time that either bring us into this giant if-then flow chart to the places where we have accelerated awareness, capacity, feelings of interconnectedness, and joy and bliss, or bring us somewhere else, right? So it’s just playing as many times as we can instead of that space of making that conscious choice, loving on ourselves when we fail, bringing ourselves back to the present moment and beginning again, awesome.

Well, we’re out of time here. This is a great place to leave our listeners with some great insights and thought-provoking content. And inspiring concepts. So if our listener wants to continue learning from you, perhaps work with you, get some coaching, or go through that process you have, which is very science-based as well as spiritual, that’s very welcome. Do you want to quickly explain what you offer at your center, and then how they could work with you?

Yeah, sure. Thanks for the invite on that. We have a variety of programs based on the level of desire and travel availability. So we have things available online, in a mixed format, or on-site. It can be everything from working with me one-on-one for strategic advising and executive coaching to more discussions like this and applications to one’s individual life, so that it’s very applicable rather than anywhere near philosophical. And we also have hybrid programs where we can create the health and even kind of the home bio hacking, like, how do we utilize equipment and technology to increase awareness and to be able to catalyze our consciousness and step out of our traumas? So we’ve got all kinds of remote programs 100% online.

I’ll be launching the wisdom school soon this year. It’s actually a relaunch. Before, I was calling it Mystery School, and I’ll be working on some of the more brain elements, because I feel like that really helps keep things grounded. So that’s an online program. And then we have our signature intensive, which is actually a multi-month program with a five-day on-site. And we’re seeing massive, massive changes in people’s EEGs because we’re changing how their brains are functioning, and they really do go home quite a different person. And then those changes grow over time as the neurology has a time to respond to the signals and let the learning that it had while it was here. 

So it’s a wide swath of offerings. You don’t have to know what you are interested in or what’s the right fit. You can just reach out, and we can help you understand the offerings and get you placed in the right thing for you. So, along with those offerings, there’s some information online, and there’s a bunch more that we actually cover in a conversation. So the team is happy to meet with you. So if you want to go to the website, hoonexperience.com, for more information, and you can reach out there, and that’s also where you can find that download that I was talking about with that three-step process that’s really foundational, that’s just a free giveaway that is there as soon as you come to the site.

So I encourage everybody to give that a listen. And once you’ve listened to that once or a few times, you can basically learn those skills, and you’ll be able to bring them forward throughout your life and in every moment, eyes open and eyes closed. It’s not a disruption to daily living to have that breath with you that process, all right. 

Well, thank you so much. Amy, what a gift you are, a gift and light in the world. Thank you for being you and for sharing. Is there a social media platform you’re active on that you’d also like to offer or suggest to our listeners for them to subscribe to or follow?

Yeah, thank you. I’ll be launching Dr. Amy Albright’s YouTube channel soon. I have focused mostly on helping other people and not on building my platform, so not a lot out there at this point, but it’s coming soon.

Awesome. All right, thank you, Amy and thank you, listener. Go out there. Make it a better world through your light. We’ll catch you in the next episode. I’m your host. Stephan Spencer, signing off.
