Howard Brown: 00:00:27

Howard Brown: 00:01:36

success to live the best life possible. You draw on wisdom

Howard Brown: 00:01:41

from being a programme manager, we're going to talk about that

Howard Brown: 00:01:43

this is really interesting. At Microsoft, also an entrepreneur,

Howard Brown: 00:01:47

a yoga, yoga and fitness instructor, a teacher and a

Howard Brown: 00:01:51

trainer, and you live in a yoga community, and you're developing

Howard Brown: 00:01:55

some really cool stuff that we're going to share and

Howard Brown: 00:01:57

introduce to the world. Today, you are a award winning an

Howard Brown: 00:02:01

inspirational keynote speaker, corporate leadership, seminar

Howard Brown: 00:02:05

facilitator, healing breakthrough facilitator and

Howard Brown: 00:02:08

global dancer. We'll talk about that, too. So this is amazing.

Howard Brown: 00:02:13

You are a multifaceted, multi talented individual. And I'm so

Howard Brown: 00:02:16

glad you're here. And help me something we may not know about

Howard Brown: 00:02:20

you something interesting that that my audience needs to know.

Avital Miller: 00:02:25

I've never been stung by a bee.

Howard Brown: 00:02:28

Well, I did not see that coming. So I guess

Howard Brown: 00:02:32

that's good, right? It's good. You are never stung by a bee in

Howard Brown: 00:02:34

your life. Wow, how'd you come up with that one? Oh, way back a

Howard Brown: 00:02:40

long time ago, when you have to start playing two truths and a

Howard Brown: 00:02:44

lie. And by the way, I'm a really bad liar. And I've done

Howard Brown: 00:02:49

so many adventurous things and been out travelling and been out

Howard Brown: 00:02:52

camping and in the woods, and you kind of think I was stung by

Howard Brown: 00:02:57

a bee. But I started using that as I guess one of the truths and

Howard Brown: 00:03:01

the two truths and a lie, like 20 years ago, and I've just been

Howard Brown: 00:03:04

crossing my fingers. I can keep using it. And so far, it is

Howard Brown: 00:03:07

true. As far as I know. I'm someone that loves nature and

Howard Brown: 00:03:10

been out in nature as much as you have. I'm very surprised at

Howard Brown: 00:03:13

that. Thank you for sharing. Well, I alluded to it in your

Howard Brown: 00:03:16

bio intro. But what's up Microsoft, a former Microsoft

Howard Brown: 00:03:20

programme manager, you know, basically doing in the healing

Howard Brown: 00:03:24

world? How'd you get here?

Avital Miller: 00:03:25

A little backstory, backstory, okay,

Avital Miller: 00:03:29

behind the scenes, because Microsoft does an amazing

Avital Miller: 00:03:32

company. And how many of us really know at age 20? What

Avital Miller: 00:03:37

we're meant to do in life. There I am with a BS in mechanical

Avital Miller: 00:03:40

engineering. I did get a major in dance because I love dancing,

Avital Miller: 00:03:44

but not just like for my main career. And I'm working at this

Avital Miller: 00:03:48

place looking around me going like me. And I was brought up to

Avital Miller: 00:03:54

be there, so I didn't know what to do. So I took off, I quit.

Avital Miller: 00:03:58

And I travelled the world for a year 20 years ago, through the

Avital Miller: 00:04:03

region that I'm in right now in the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico.

Avital Miller: 00:04:09

20 years go by how much change happens right in the world and

Avital Miller: 00:04:13

in our own selves. But it was that shift in paradigm that

Avital Miller: 00:04:17

started to instil the next direction. There's many twists

Avital Miller: 00:04:21

and turns to this journey. But I grew up as a gymnast and a

Avital Miller: 00:04:24

dancer so I started leading yoga and health and healing and

Avital Miller: 00:04:30

fitness programmes and I'm a teacher trainer and a fitness

Avital Miller: 00:04:32

director and I'm teaching 25 to 30 classes all over town known

Avital Miller: 00:04:36

as the Energizer Bunny. And then I started having fatigue, called

Avital Miller: 00:04:43

the Energizer Bunny. So this was a hit to my ego. You might think

Avital Miller: 00:04:46

about like, what are you known for and then that stops and

Avital Miller: 00:04:50

you're also wondering what's going on? My hair was falling

Avital Miller: 00:04:52

out. My muscles returning to fat I was becoming weaker than my

Avital Miller: 00:04:56

students. I did what most of us would do. Do I went to the

Avital Miller: 00:05:01

doctor? The doctor diagnosed me with an autoimmune disorder

Avital Miller: 00:05:06

called Hashimotos as well as hypothyroidism gave me a handful

Avital Miller: 00:05:11

of medicine and then sent me out the door saying that's it for

Avital Miller: 00:05:15

life. You just on this thing got this discomfort and that's it.

Avital Miller: 00:05:20

No. Okay. I guess I've just been given an arranged marriage here.

Avital Miller: 00:05:24

Well, I better learn how to live in the best way possible with

Avital Miller: 00:05:28

this partner that I had apparently no choice on. Single

Avital Miller: 00:05:32

I started reading books, going to different types of health and

Avital Miller: 00:05:35

healing practitioners and just changing all the things in my

Avital Miller: 00:05:40

environment in my mindset, my diet, and I studied one on one

Avital Miller: 00:05:44

with an ayurvedic doctor in India. And these things are

Avital Miller: 00:05:48

starting to level me out, which is the first miracle when you're

Avital Miller: 00:05:50

on a hormone medicine. Then I started meditating, and really

Avital Miller: 00:05:55

getting deeper and more regular with my meditation. You've

Avital Miller: 00:05:59

meditated, Howard. Alright, a lot of us have meditated and

Avital Miller: 00:06:02

makes you feel good, right? Usually, usually, I started to

Avital Miller: 00:06:06

not feel well. I went to the doctor and she said, Well,

Avital Miller: 00:06:11

you're overdosed on your medication. I lowered my dosage,

Avital Miller: 00:06:16

started to feel better, meditative, more started to not

Avital Miller: 00:06:21

feel well, again, back to the doctor, you're overdosed on your

Avital Miller: 00:06:24

medication. So it was like I was going from medication to

Avital Miller: 00:06:29

meditation. This was like ding ding, ding, Huh, interesting.

Avital Miller: 00:06:33

Something is happening beyond what I'm being told here. And

Avital Miller: 00:06:37

you know, the reticular activating system, sort of that

Avital Miller: 00:06:40

idea of when you see when you hear about something you hear

Avital Miller: 00:06:44

you notice it everywhere. So now you're starting to hear other

Avital Miller: 00:06:47

stories of people healing beyond what they're being told by their

Avital Miller: 00:06:52

medical professional, going, Okay, if this is happening, this

Avital Miller: 00:06:55

much more people need to know about it. Thus, my journey

Avital Miller: 00:07:00

started diving into studying in more depth, interviewing all

Avital Miller: 00:07:04

these different health and healing practitioners for my

Avital Miller: 00:07:06

book healing happens, and sharing programmes around the

Avital Miller: 00:07:10

world. So I live this life now where I can climb up fourteeners

Avital Miller: 00:07:14

and travel and dance like a store men have that Energizer

Avital Miller: 00:07:19

Bunny buzz again. So I love that you shared that background

Avital Miller: 00:07:24

story, because what it tells me and this is what shining

Avital Miller: 00:07:28

brightly is all about is that you did get knocked down, and

Avital Miller: 00:07:31

you had to figure out how to get back up again. And it was

Avital Miller: 00:07:34

challenging, misdiagnosed medications too heavy, you had

Avital Miller: 00:07:38

to go through some self Aqua actualization and Realisation to

Avital Miller: 00:07:42

get you to that point. And you and I have you know, I had non

Avital Miller: 00:07:45

Hodgkins lymphoma in 1989 auto immune, okay, it's cancer of my

Avital Miller: 00:07:50

entire lymphatic system. So, you know, I was very autoimmune

Avital Miller: 00:07:54

problems. And I've had hypothyroidism, you and I share

Avital Miller: 00:07:57

that in common. For the rest of my life. I am taking, you know,

Avital Miller: 00:08:01

pills for that. But you learned from that and you got educated.

Avital Miller: 00:08:06

And now I love the fact that not only did you lift yourself up,

Avital Miller: 00:08:10

you lift up others, and that's my tenant of shining brightly is

Avital Miller: 00:08:13

to lift yourself up first, get yourself on solid ground, and

Avital Miller: 00:08:16

then go lift up others. And this is what you do. And this is why

Avital Miller: 00:08:19

you're here today. So Alright, so now you're educated. Let's

Avital Miller: 00:08:23

dive into the book because the book has helped a lot of people

Avital Miller: 00:08:26

and it's going to help a whole lot more. So you wrote this

Avital Miller: 00:08:29

book. And I'm not sure what when did you write the healing

Avital Miller: 00:08:33

happens? The the stories of healing against all odds? Yeah,

Avital Miller: 00:08:36

it was launched in March 2018. So we're coming around the

Avital Miller: 00:08:41

corner with is that six years? Five years? Oh, yeah. Almost six

Avital Miller: 00:08:45

years and 24. Wow. Okay, so it's been out there. Great. It's

Avital Miller: 00:08:49

awesome. So tell me, you the book and you pack so much

Avital Miller: 00:08:54

information. I've only flipped through it. I apologise, but

Avital Miller: 00:08:56

don't need to read it. Yeah, well, one of the the things in

Avital Miller: 00:09:01

general is to realise that there's 18 chapters in the book.

Avital Miller: 00:09:05

So mine and then 17 Other Health and Healing practitioners. They

Avital Miller: 00:09:09

are all different types. So I'm not throwing the baby out with

Avital Miller: 00:09:13

the bathwater kind of theme. I'm not rejecting one path because

Avital Miller: 00:09:18

it doesn't seem proven enough.

Avital Miller: 00:09:21

I'm looking at what is our understanding in general of how

Avital Miller: 00:09:26

to go about the path of healing. And as I delineated all of this

Avital Miller: 00:09:32

out, and pulled out the success strategies used, I also

Avital Miller: 00:09:36

realised, oh, well, I use that for business like I use that

Avital Miller: 00:09:41

for, you know, success in like learning a new language and

Avital Miller: 00:09:45

learning a new dance form. So these strategies can be applied

Avital Miller: 00:09:50

to other areas of life. That's also part of what pulled me into

Avital Miller: 00:09:54

leading a lot of business and corporate leadership programmes

Avital Miller: 00:09:58

is these four Full bodied success, mastery strategies, and

Avital Miller: 00:10:03

using that as a starting point to bring that around to other

Avital Miller: 00:10:07

areas of life as well, and expand the concept of the

Avital Miller: 00:10:12

ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges. It's

Avital Miller: 00:10:18

absolutely incredible. And then you wrote another book, right?

Avital Miller: 00:10:24

If this is your first order, that was the order, gosh, like I

Avital Miller: 00:10:28

don't even have track anymore. But because we're about to

Avital Miller: 00:10:31

launch another one, but so I have a chapter in practice

Avital Miller: 00:10:35

wisdom from the downward dog. Right. And that was really fun.

Avital Miller: 00:10:41

There were about 50, yoga practitioners asked to turn the

Avital Miller: 00:10:45

table around on us, because we're normally they're giving

Avital Miller: 00:10:50

advice to other people who need the support. And it was to say,

Avital Miller: 00:10:55

what's your struggle? Where do you struggle? What's

Avital Miller: 00:10:58

spirituality to you today. And I was really deep process when I

Avital Miller: 00:11:04

lived in a yoga community for almost seven years, to create my

Avital Miller: 00:11:08

own understanding of spirituality. And it felt

Avital Miller: 00:11:12

traumatic in a way as I was going through it. So that was,

Avital Miller: 00:11:17

was my big story, you know, at the time that felt relevant to

Avital Miller: 00:11:20

go into that book.

Howard Brown: 00:11:22

I love it. Also, by the way, my book has 18

Howard Brown: 00:11:25

chapters, your book has 18 chapters. In Judaism, the number

Howard Brown: 00:11:30

18 stands for the word chi, which equals life, L I F E. I

Howard Brown: 00:11:35

just think it's coincidental. But it's it to me, I chose 18

Howard Brown: 00:11:39

chapters, and 360 Pages for that reason. I don't know if you just

Howard Brown: 00:11:43

kind of came across it and just

Avital Miller: 00:11:45

No, I am. So I'm not like, like, oh, I need to be

Avital Miller: 00:11:50

by the book. And my editor was, and she really wanted it to be

Avital Miller: 00:11:53

17 chapters. Because logically when you only print books,

Avital Miller: 00:11:59

because it was like I had a section with only one chapter.

Avital Miller: 00:12:03

She's like, you can't do that. Like, that's not a chapter like

Avital Miller: 00:12:07

that's like an introduction or something or like, it was so

Avital Miller: 00:12:12

fun. And I was like, no, like, there has to be 18 chapters. And

Avital Miller: 00:12:17

like, I don't need to go by the book. It's all good. We could

Avital Miller: 00:12:20

call that one a chapter.

Howard Brown: 00:12:22

Your book, my book, too. So I actually had a

Howard Brown: 00:12:25

ticket down from like, 24 chapters and cut some things

Howard Brown: 00:12:27

out. But I wanted 18. And I got 18. And I got 360 pages as well.

Howard Brown: 00:12:32

So again, we're in control, right? So tell me about some of

Howard Brown: 00:12:35

the profound impact, because you've really seen some real

Howard Brown: 00:12:38

transformation in people. And that's what people really want

Howard Brown: 00:12:40

to know. They, you know, again, I tell people that you know, all

Howard Brown: 00:12:44

these new year's resolutions are coming out, and people like I

Howard Brown: 00:12:47

want to lose 75 pounds. Well, you're not going to do that in

Howard Brown: 00:12:49

two days. It takes time. It takes work, it takes effort. It

Howard Brown: 00:12:52

takes dedication, it takes intentionality. So tell me about

Howard Brown: 00:12:56

some profound changes that you've seen in people going

Howard Brown: 00:12:58

through your process.

Avital Miller: 00:12:59

Yeah, yeah. So one of my clients was, she

Avital Miller: 00:13:04

contacted me, and she said, I'm gonna have fibroid surgery. And

Avital Miller: 00:13:10

so I need a new diet. And I need to know what to eat. And my

Avital Miller: 00:13:14

doctor said, I have to basically be a little bit more vegan. And

Avital Miller: 00:13:18

I was like, Okay, well, how do you feel about that? Like, what

Avital Miller: 00:13:23

are your habits right now and how you choose food. So this is

Avital Miller: 00:13:27

we don't always realise and as you're creating this new year's

Avital Miller: 00:13:29

resolutions, you're like, Okay, I'm just gonna change my diet,

Avital Miller: 00:13:32

but you have a relationship with the food you eat with the

Avital Miller: 00:13:35

pattern things. There's something inside you that draws

Avital Miller: 00:13:38

you to eat in a certain way. And sometimes for good reason. And

Avital Miller: 00:13:43

some sometimes for awareness of where it transformation is

Avital Miller: 00:13:48

calling forth to shift. So we went through that whole mind

Avital Miller: 00:13:54

body spirit connection, to help her understand how to shift her

Avital Miller: 00:14:00

diet and create enthusiasm around that really talked about

Avital Miller: 00:14:04

a lot of other areas of life that bring in that natural joy.

Avital Miller: 00:14:08

So she has a natural tendency and inclination to want to eat

Avital Miller: 00:14:11

differently, with all the way to going to the grocery store with

Avital Miller: 00:14:16

her and visually seeing how do we shop. This is what was fun,

Avital Miller: 00:14:22

because she went back in a year about a month later for her

Avital Miller: 00:14:27

checkup before surgery. And they looked at what was going on and

Avital Miller: 00:14:32

they said, you don't need surgery. fibroids are gone.

Howard Brown: 00:14:39

That's incredible.

Avital Miller: 00:14:41

I know. I know. I had another client who had

Avital Miller: 00:14:47

anxiety attacks, and emergency bill up the wazoo from emergency

Avital Miller: 00:14:54

room. And he had had trouble can Connecting with people socially.

Avital Miller: 00:15:03

Like it just wasn't flowing, people didn't really resonate

Avital Miller: 00:15:07

with him, he would just get very nervous and didn't quite know

Avital Miller: 00:15:10

how to read people. And he didn't really like what he was

Avital Miller: 00:15:14

doing for work. And we started working together. And he very

Avital Miller: 00:15:21

quickly learned how to stop having anxiety, and no more

Avital Miller: 00:15:25

emergency room, that is bills paid off, changed his job twice,

Avital Miller: 00:15:31

to improve the excellence. He used to spend a lot of time with

Avital Miller: 00:15:37

me, and in a lot of the social programmes that I was creating.

Avital Miller: 00:15:41

And then he had such a huge social life that I didn't get to

Avital Miller: 00:15:44

see him as much vast part thing I think is so beautiful, is the

Avital Miller: 00:15:50

gal that he is dating and where that relationship is taking and

Avital Miller: 00:15:56

how amazing that this person is. And we work together for like a

Avital Miller: 00:16:02

year or two. So this was like, you take one step and the next

Avital Miller: 00:16:05

step and the next step. And this is why I love working with

Avital Miller: 00:16:09

people over long term like in my programme students succeed.

Avital Miller: 00:16:14

Because it's not just one thing, there's so many layers of the

Avital Miller: 00:16:18

onion to peel away.

Howard Brown: 00:16:21

I feel I felt that way, because the immense pride

Howard Brown: 00:16:24

you're sharing that you were able to launch him into such a

Howard Brown: 00:16:29

different positive space workspace, it took two tries.

Howard Brown: 00:16:33

Relationship space. Okay, and and now you're seeing him last,

Howard Brown: 00:16:38

because he doesn't need you as much. And so that that's just a

Howard Brown: 00:16:42

beautiful story. The other story about the weight loss, and the

Howard Brown: 00:16:45

fibre, fibre tumours or whatever the cysts could be, you

Howard Brown: 00:16:49

mentioned the word natural joy, and fun. And that discipline. It

Howard Brown: 00:16:55

doesn't seem like work if it actually is fun. And if it's

Howard Brown: 00:16:59

joyful, if you make weight loss, joyful, but you have to have

Howard Brown: 00:17:02

dedication and discipline, maybe mental toughness, physical, you

Howard Brown: 00:17:05

know, consistency. But boy, yeah, I mean, imagine going to

Howard Brown: 00:17:09

the doctor, no surgery needed. I mean, it's incredible. For a guy

Howard Brown: 00:17:13

that's been through a lot of surgeries, chemotherapy is

Howard Brown: 00:17:16

radiations. That's a good thing. If you can heal yourself through

Howard Brown: 00:17:19

the body and its own its own ways. Well, I want to ask you,

Howard Brown: 00:17:23

okay, so I have a chapter in my book about finding your happy

Howard Brown: 00:17:26

place, okay. And I define a happy place as a stress free

Howard Brown: 00:17:30

zone. Now, people that know me know that I love basketball. And

Howard Brown: 00:17:35

I find my stress free zone on the basketball court, the boys

Howard Brown: 00:17:38

are talking trash, I'm sweating, the endorphins are going,

Howard Brown: 00:17:41

whether I'm playing good or bad, it doesn't matter, I'm in my

Howard Brown: 00:17:43

place, your happy place is dance. Tell me a little bit more

Howard Brown: 00:17:48

about your dance and why that's placing, and what types of dance

Howard Brown: 00:17:53

to because I've seen you on your website and different social

Howard Brown: 00:17:56

media posts all dressed up and in different costumes and things

Howard Brown: 00:17:59

like that.

Avital Miller: 00:18:00

I know from around the world. I know it is.

Avital Miller: 00:18:06

And I have had a lot of photo shoots with me in in various

Avital Miller: 00:18:10

respects. And when people see the downside, it's like light,

Avital Miller: 00:18:13

it's freedom, like it's emptiness, it's space. I

Avital Miller: 00:18:18

actually say to that one of the things is that it's often our

Avital Miller: 00:18:23

mind, that's kind of our darker side. And in a way the mind

Avital Miller: 00:18:28

tries to protect us. It also puts us down. And when we're not

Avital Miller: 00:18:35

in the mind, then there's a greater sense of freedom. So if

Avital Miller: 00:18:39

you also meet somewhere like this happened with my mother,

Avital Miller: 00:18:42

where as she was passing away, like, like the mind turns off,

Avital Miller: 00:18:47

it's just, I think, part of one of the medical things that

Avital Miller: 00:18:50

happens in the process. I had never seen her so joyful and

Avital Miller: 00:18:54

light like this young person, when you get into something that

Avital Miller: 00:18:58

gets you in the heart. So it could be dance, it could be

Avital Miller: 00:19:02

singing, it could be some other form of art, right, but it's

Avital Miller: 00:19:06

often something artistic or expressive through motion of the

Avital Miller: 00:19:11

of the body, then that mind relaxes. So I think that's one

Avital Miller: 00:19:16

of the reasons I do just personally love movement. I love

Avital Miller: 00:19:21

the creativity of it. It also creates space to channel and

Avital Miller: 00:19:26

move emotions. It's a great form of expression. And this This is

Avital Miller: 00:19:33

something I remember at the yoga community I lived out they

Avital Miller: 00:19:36

talked about this with singing, that sometimes like singing

Avital Miller: 00:19:39

would go further than a talk. And I've heard this with dance.

Avital Miller: 00:19:43

Because when you speak words, people have created definitions

Avital Miller: 00:19:48

of those words in their mind, and then created neural pathways

Avital Miller: 00:19:52

of their emotional response to those words, and we have

Avital Miller: 00:19:58

judgments over those words. Words and we're trying to sit

Avital Miller: 00:20:01

there and assimilate and translate and go go through this

Avital Miller: 00:20:04

whole mental process. When you're dancing, you can't do

Avital Miller: 00:20:08

that. There's, you know, nothing of pre definition, depending on

Avital Miller: 00:20:13

how somebody is dancing, they might be dancing and specific

Avital Miller: 00:20:16

moves you've seen before on, you know, right. But for the most of

Avital Miller: 00:20:19

the time, it's his very authentic moment and authentic

Avital Miller: 00:20:21

expression, and is that way for most people, and it's just a

Avital Miller: 00:20:26

pure energy transmission without the mind being part of the

Avital Miller: 00:20:30

process. So I love to just little surprise people, and do a

Avital Miller: 00:20:36

little dance performance is one of my talks, you know, when the

Avital Miller: 00:20:39

stages is set. And at this point, I love improvising more

Avital Miller: 00:20:44

than doing something choreographed. I'm also

Avital Miller: 00:20:48

incorporating energy healing through doing that through being

Avital Miller: 00:20:51

a little more in the moment with with what is happening, and how

Avital Miller: 00:20:55

do we integrate and process all these things that she just said.

Avital Miller: 00:20:58

But also surprising people with just bringing movement into like

Avital Miller: 00:21:02

the for full body, there's for the for full body success,

Avital Miller: 00:21:05

mastery strategies from healing happens, there's a movement that

Avital Miller: 00:21:10

you do with each one of those tips. And that helps integrate

Avital Miller: 00:21:14

the understanding into the body as well. Thank you for the depth

Avital Miller: 00:21:18

there.

Howard Brown: 00:21:18

I love it. And my bottom line is for goals and for

Howard Brown: 00:21:22

resolution, go find your happy place, okay. And it could be

Howard Brown: 00:21:27

nature, it could be the beach mountains, movement, incorporate

Howard Brown: 00:21:30

movement, it can be cooking, it can be art, whatever it is, it

Howard Brown: 00:21:33

can be sports for me. So go find your happy place. Now this I did

Howard Brown: 00:21:37

this for a reason, because I'm so excited to learn about your

Howard Brown: 00:21:41

new project called transcend dance. So please share what you

Howard Brown: 00:21:46

got going on. It's amazing. And you're you're getting ready to

Howard Brown: 00:21:49

do a full launch. But tell me about it. What's going on with

Howard Brown: 00:21:52

transcend dance.

Avital Miller: 00:21:53

I know. And I love that you asked about dance.

Avital Miller: 00:21:56

And I had to create a movie poster for a technology class of

Avital Miller: 00:22:02

all things. And I spelt the word wrong. And I'm sitting there

Avital Miller: 00:22:05

staring at it going as the spell right is the spell right? I

Avital Miller: 00:22:08

happen to be visiting my dad. And he walked up and he goes, Oh

Avital Miller: 00:22:12

Tran sin dance. I was like, oh, good mistake. And because why

Avital Miller: 00:22:21

work is what helping people transcend. But it's really like

Avital Miller: 00:22:24

a dance. Yeah. And one of the key things that this transcend

Avital Miller: 00:22:29

dance is tuning into is the art of manifestation. And the reason

Avital Miller: 00:22:36

is, is because a lot of us are at a stage where we've learned

Avital Miller: 00:22:40

all the manifestation techniques and the law of attraction. And

Avital Miller: 00:22:44

we've been doing it and we're like, why don't we have what we

Avital Miller: 00:22:47

want. So what I wanted to do was break through and say, Okay,

Avital Miller: 00:22:54

here's why. Here's your new path of manifestation or talking

Avital Miller: 00:22:59

about a new manifestation, I would almost love to erase the

Avital Miller: 00:23:04

word manifestation from our vocabulary. And create a new

Avital Miller: 00:23:09

word, if you want it to be transcend dance, you can.

Avital Miller: 00:23:13

There's a lot of challenge also with thinking that we have the

Avital Miller: 00:23:18

full understanding of what the path is. And kind of our human

Avital Miller: 00:23:23

side, we're like a person in the maze, we don't necessarily see

Avital Miller: 00:23:27

the whole maze from the forest sight and what's going to be

Avital Miller: 00:23:30

around each turn that's and what direction each turn is going to

Avital Miller: 00:23:34

take. So that's kind of like something the universe, God's

Avital Miller: 00:23:37

Spirit, you know, whatever you want to call, it helps design

Avital Miller: 00:23:41

for us in a better way than we might ourselves. And we're not

Avital Miller: 00:23:46

all on the same path. It doesn't take us all the same length of

Avital Miller: 00:23:50

time. And we're not all on like the path is also not the same

Avital Miller: 00:23:55

length. So the speed we go about it and the length, could you're

Avital Miller: 00:23:58

going to see somebody else being successful. You're like, Well,

Avital Miller: 00:24:01

I've been doing all the things like Why aren't I there yet?

Avital Miller: 00:24:04

Well, because your path and your journey to potentially that same

Avital Miller: 00:24:08

place is different. It's kind of like if you're in a high rise

Avital Miller: 00:24:13

building, and that person could get off on the 20th floor, but

Avital Miller: 00:24:16

you have to go all the way to the penthouse. So that's just

Avital Miller: 00:24:19

one of the tips of understanding manifestation in a different

Avital Miller: 00:24:23

way.

Howard Brown: 00:24:24

I love it and it's good to take some format of a

Howard Brown: 00:24:27

book and have classes Correct.

Avital Miller: 00:24:29

Yeah, I'm letting it evolve and see what it is

Avital Miller: 00:24:33

this term that transcend dance, I just love calling a lot of

Avital Miller: 00:24:36

things that but I am about to launch this close to launching

Avital Miller: 00:24:43

my first interactive digital book. So this is going to be a

Avital Miller: 00:24:47

fun experience. I have been making it as I've been

Avital Miller: 00:24:50

travelling here in Mexico. So you get to see the real video

Avital Miller: 00:24:55

clips and live experiences and it is based a lot around the

Avital Miller: 00:25:00

experiences that I've been having and where it might seem

Avital Miller: 00:25:02

traditionally like I wasn't having good manifestation. So we

Avital Miller: 00:25:06

want to have a different understanding to say maybe I

Avital Miller: 00:25:08

have been the perfect manifester the whole time, and how do you

Avital Miller: 00:25:12

get to be that perfect manifester? But speaking of

Avital Miller: 00:25:15

Mexico, I would say it was last May. So we're in January says

Avital Miller: 00:25:21

quite a few months ago, the idea started to come out of me

Avital Miller: 00:25:24

leading yoga around the world. And I just had a meeting

Avital Miller: 00:25:30

yesterday to put together the first yoga healing, relaxing

Avital Miller: 00:25:35

spiritual cultural experience. And a town called San Miguel de

Avital Miller: 00:25:40

Allende is a little bit north of Mexico City. And coincidentally,

Avital Miller: 00:25:46

the dates that worked well for me to do it. This is March 2025.

Avital Miller: 00:25:50

Okay, so we're planning ahead of time. But of course, those who

Avital Miller: 00:25:54

tuned in now get the early bird rates, but they are having a day

Avital Miller: 00:25:58

long, huge Dance Festival in that town. So there'll be a

Avital Miller: 00:26:02

sprinkling of dance as well as part of this programme to mix in

Avital Miller: 00:26:07

with the yoga and the spirituality, but get to do to

Avital Miller: 00:26:10

Mezcal cacao, but really just take that concept of the

Avital Miller: 00:26:13

manifestation of the Transcend dance of what do we want to

Avital Miller: 00:26:17

manifest and intend we'll work through breeze through be during

Avital Miller: 00:26:22

this experience, and helping through various programmes to

Avital Miller: 00:26:25

get there with fun along the way.

Howard Brown: 00:26:27

So I'm so excited for the video journal. And then

Howard Brown: 00:26:30

we'll definitely have the event in the show notes and on socials

Howard Brown: 00:26:34

for the end of March so you can get down to Mexico for you. But

Howard Brown: 00:26:38

now I want to actually change over to the shining brightly

Howard Brown: 00:26:41

spotlight. So if you have shades, we're going to put them

Howard Brown: 00:26:44

on or you don't have to There you go. You got your shades. So
