219 Kyle Kingsbury: A Hero's Journey & Human Optimization

Jul 27, 2018

Ultimate forgiveness is really knowing that I'm not going to hold this grudge in me anymore. That goes into letting go, surrendering, and all teachings from the plant medicine. If I can truly forgive, that's me taking this weight off of me because otherwise, I'm carrying that with me until I forgive. If I don't forgive you, I'm holding all of that inside of me.  - Kyle Kingsbury

Can breathwork, hedonic calendaring, and plant medicine teach you about your actual self, your fears, and your spirituality?

On Wellness Force Radio episode 219, retired American professional mixed martial artist and now Director of Human Optimization at Onnit, Kyle Kingsbury, shares how he discovered his spiritual side through psilocybin and Ayahuasca, how you can rig your brain to experience DMT and out of body experiences through breathwork, and how to optimize your mitochondria through NAD Production and nutrition.

Learn how you can satisfy our need for 'more' based on what makes you feel good, whole, and happy.

"You can read about Ayahuasca, gratitude, and spiritual text but to embody them is completely different. To feel and know what gratitude is in every fiber of my being during a ceremony was powerful." - @Kingsbu on @wellnessforce Radio episode 219 http://bit.ly/wfpodcast

Power Quotes From The Show

"Our brains are receivers like a radio and we're tuned into Earth. When we use plant medicine, do holotropic breathing, or are in a float tank to alter our state of consciousness, we change the dial." - @Kingsbu on @wellnessforce Radio episode 219 http://bit.ly/wfpodcast

"Ayahuasca taught me the hard lesson of understanding that I don't need to have an upcoming fight on my schedule to live properly and focus on my health. I realized that I can live this way all the time and it just takes discipline." - Kyle Kingsbury

"Everyone is doing the best they can with what they have. Ultimately, that doesn't absolve people of their responsibility but there is forgiveness and compassion there. That's in every spiritual text - to live forgiveness and to truly embody that; to learn compassion and to feel what other people are going through and try to put yourself in their shoes. Try to see where others are coming from and not play the blame game."  - Kyle Kingsbury

"You don't always have to be right in an argument. If you no longer have to be right, the conversation changes and you can operate from a different place. You can really see eye to eye with the other person or at least attempt that. There's no attempting some level of understanding from the other person if you're dead-set on letting them know that you're right and then blame them. If you can at least operate from a place where you no longer have to be right, there's a whole different layer that you can obtain from that."  - Kyle Kingsbury
