Higher Powered: Autobiography Of A Sex And Love Yogi W/ John Gray #239

The last time I talked to John Gray — author of the most well-known and trusted relationship book of all time, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus — we had an incredible conversation about his spiritual journey... before we turned on the microphone! So, when I had a chance to sit down with John at the Health Optimisation Summit, I wasn’t going to miss my second opportunity to record some of these stories. From partying at Woodstock, to hanging out with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, to participating in an energy healing practice that saved someone from a fresh cobra bite, we explore the twists and turns of John’s spiritual journey and how it has influenced his work on sex and relationships. And there’s a lot more overlap there than you might think. Because, whether you’re seeking to nurture your personal relationship or do the inner work to foster the relationship with yourself, your goal is ultimately the same: transformation, peace, and fulfillment. This is a peek into the life of a man who has helped thousands of people radically transform their lives, and it offers a lot of insight into how anyone can apply these spiritual principles and universal truths in really practical ways. Topics Discussed In This Episode: How The Beatles deeply influenced John’s journey, including the meditation practice that he teaches today The high stakes of following your inspiration and genius Most of your suffering comes from too much attention — but John knows how we can stop internalizing all of that negative energy and bring in fresh energy Why most people avoid opportunities, consciously or subconsciously Lessons John learned as the assistant to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Witnessing the seemingly unexplainable People who do exceptional things aren’t born that way — anyone can develop exceptional abilities with practice How you can channel energy into and out of your body (and when you might want to) A mantra that will help you start noticing the gap between your thoughts and your self Everyone has access to all of the masculine and feminine qualities Spiritual practices for grounding yourself in the feminine or the masculine What everyone needs to know about intention and attachment If you’re angry, you’re not being masculine How masculine individuals can better communicate with feminine individuals & vice versa Some good ol’ fashioned biohacking: the one supplement that everyone can benefit from but barely anyone talks about & the enzymatic shake will fuel your brain How better brain health leads to more enjoyable sex + other tips men can use to increase pleasure for themselves and their partners More about this episode.

Having these long and deep conversations requires an intense amount of focus, and sometimes I try to use coffee to help me stay alert. But sometimes I get a little too hyped — and, honestly, it’s because I’m straight up ODing on caffeine (you can learn more about your relationship with caffeine, you can check out Candor’s Caffeine Type Quiz ). So I was stoked to find Candor, who make this delicious Coconut Matcha Nootropic Latte . It still has a little bit of caffeine, but combined with ingredients like green tea l-theanine, which is clinically proven to boost attention and mood when paired with caffeine. You can use code ‘LIFESTYLIST’ to get 10% off your new favorite coffee at ChooseCandor.com . AND… JOOVV. If you’ve been listening for a while or following Luke on social media, you’ve probably seen him raving about red light therapy, or photobiomodulation. There are over 3000 published clinical papers on light therapy – over 200 being double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled – making this arguably the most well-researched bio hack in Luke’s arsenal. Some of the benefits include increased skin health, better muscle recovery, better sexual performance, and reduced joint pain and inflammation.
