  1. Communicating Through Energy

  2. 00:00You are what you believe and so if you
  3. 00:02believe you can connect and you
  4. 00:03communicate this way because you uh
  5. 00:06you're going to be I mean the fact that
  6. 00:08people are not aware of energy we can
  7. 00:10feel that that person doesn't feel good
  8. 00:12and we're not we don't even know each
  9. 00:13other you know so imagine if we humans
  10. 00:16are sensitive to that all animals never
  11. 00:18stop this way of being
  12. 00:20right the sensitivity of animals they
  13. 00:23they don't go into the mind they stay
  14. 00:25within their instinct because that's how
  15. 00:27they stay safe you know and and maintain
  16. 00:29the peace
  17. 00:30And so uh what you did was exactly that.
  18. 00:33Don't talk. Don't talk with words. Talk
  19. 00:35with energy, body language, and
  20. 00:37intention. You know, how how do you
  21. 00:39become the best doctor in the world?
  22. 00:41Because that's all you think about it.
  23. 00:43[laughter]
  24. 00:44That's all you think about it. You know,
  25. 00:45even when you go to sleep, even when
  26. 00:47you're nobody, you're not talking about
  27. 00:48it. That's so you create the law of
  28. 00:50attraction. You create the law of
  29. 00:52creation. The most difficult law is the
  30. 00:54law of maintenance, right? Because it's
  31. 00:56easy to attract, it's easy to create. it
  32. 00:58what's hardest to maintain,
  33. 01:00right?
  34. 01:01And that's why patience is so important
  35. 01:03or silence is so important. Yeah.
  36. 01:05Because it's this one is is infinite.
  37. 01:07It's an infinite energy. So if you feel
  38. 01:10that, imagine how powerful you become.
  39. 01:14And then just to be right here where you
  40. 01:15are claiming your space, [sighs]
  41. 01:18calm that gives you another power
  42. 01:21because that gives the animals the
  43. 01:22capability to trust. And then your
  44. 01:24intention, right? What is it that you
  45. 01:26want without words? I just don't want
  46. 01:28you to pee over there. I just don't want
  47. 01:29you to go after that dog. I just want

  48. Silence & Animal Communication

  49. 01:31you to stop doing what you're doing.
  50. 01:33Because think about when cats
  51. 01:35communicate with a dog.
  52. 01:38It's a completely different specy. But
  53. 01:39can a cat control a dog? The same way
  54. 01:41you did. Same silence, calm, confident.
  55. 01:45So that's that's that's why a cat can
  56. 01:47control a Rodweller and a pitbull.
  57. 01:49Right? When people feel, oh, it's a it's
  58. 01:51a very dangerous breed. At the moment
  59. 01:54you think something is dangerous, you
  60. 01:55you give your power away. Right? At the
  61. 01:58moment you bring silence, calmness,
  62. 02:00confidence, you regain your power back.
  63. 02:02And that's the first line of
  64. 02:04communication before sound. But most
  65. 02:07people focus on I want to train my dog.
  66. 02:08I want my dog to listen to commands. No,
  67. 02:10no, no, no. You want your dog to listen
  68. 02:12to your silence, to your calmness, to
  69. 02:14what's in your mind without saying a
  70. 02:16word.
  71. 02:16That's exactly it right there. That was

  72. Story Of Costello

  73. 02:19the the relationship with Costello
  74. 02:22improved in order of magnitude when I
  75. 02:25understood that that I could talk to him
  76. 02:27all day or say whatever.
  77. 02:29It had a very little potency
  78. 02:32compared to how I would show up. And
  79. 02:34then it also taught me a lot of course
  80. 02:36about how to arrive home,
  81. 02:38how to walk into a, you know, I bring
  82. 02:40him to class. I taught, you know, 400
  83. 02:41per person class. He would walk in. It
  84. 02:44was very interesting. everyone, you
  85. 02:45know, oh, dog, dogs, most professors
  86. 02:47wouldn't bring their dog to class
  87. 02:48and he knew it was all there. Typical
  88. 02:51Costello, you know, he would just kind
  89. 02:53of walk to the front of the class.
  90. 02:54He would wait a few minutes, not look at
  91. 02:56anybody, and then he he would decide. He
  92. 02:58just like glare at all. He could light
  93. 03:00up a room.
  94. 03:01But I understood that
  95. 03:03I wouldn't let him be like the too much
  96. 03:05of a celebrity or else he would start
  97. 03:06misbehaving. I had to remind him like,
  98. 03:08you know, we have a structure and an
  99. 03:09order. That's correct. And I do think
  100. 03:11that people would benefit so much from
  101. 03:14getting in touch with this capacity that
  102. 03:16they have to sense their own energy and
  103. 03:18the energy of other people regardless of
  104. 03:20if they have a dog.
  105. 03:22Well, you know, Americans go to India to
  106. 03:24be quiet, right? And then to uh to f to
  107. 03:28practice not eating which they call
  108. 03:29fasting, right? And then to stretch.
  109. 03:33That's practically it is silence, you
  110. 03:36know, learn how to breathe
  111. 03:37and then stretch gives you a little bit,
  112. 03:40you know, agility into it and you learn
  113. 03:43to control hunger which in a third
  114. 03:45country that's what we learn,
  115. 03:47right? We learn to control hunger. We
  116. 03:49learn to be quiet. We learn to be calm.
  117. 03:52We learn, you know, whatever we know, we
  118. 03:54do really good at it. We become really
  119. 03:56good farmers, really good animal people,
  120. 03:58right? and uh family people, you know,

  121. Discipline & Structure

  122. 04:01God people and and so we have a good
  123. 04:04structure, good discipline and such a
  124. 04:07basic simple stuff. And that's what
  125. 04:09gives us the uh the upper hand of uh
  126. 04:12walk a dog off leash. You know, when I
  127. 04:14started walking dogs in America, I
  128. 04:16didn't know it was illegal to walk dogs
  129. 04:17off leash. I was walking 40 60 dogs at a
  130. 04:20time, right? And I was doing it off
  131. 04:23leash because that's all I knew.
  132. 04:25You see it? And so that that uh that
  133. 04:29energy of silence, calmness, confidence
  134. 04:31is what now I now that I understand what
  135. 04:34I did is what led me to this event, you
  136. 04:38know, for people to see me from
  137. 04:39Englewood to South Central. It's a
  138. 04:41Mexican guy that walks a pack of dogs
  139. 04:43from Englewood to South Central off
  140. 04:45leash. That's when the LA Times came and
  141. 04:48and did a piece of me because they
  142. 04:49didn't they couldn't understand, you
  143. 04:51know, this concept of walking a dog off
  144. 04:53leash. this dog shaman or something
  145. 04:55and a dog in the land of the free,
  146. 04:56right? Because, you know, dogs in
  147. 04:57America have rights, but that doesn't
  148. 04:59mean they can walk off leash.

  149. Leading With The Leash

  150. 05:01You see, the dog has to be on a leash
  151. 05:03and humans have to learn uh to to
  152. 05:06transmit that energy through the leash
  153. 05:07because there's a lot of dogs that react
  154. 05:09on the leash when the dog should be the
  155. 05:11most well behaved, then a dog is off the
  156. 05:13leash. You see? But the leash in the
  157. 05:16animal world is trust, respect, love.
  158. 05:19the the the leash in the animal world is
  159. 05:21that human understanding you know
  160. 05:23silence calmness confidence love joy and
  161. 05:26that's pack leader direction protection
  162. 05:29right that's the only way you can say
  163. 05:31I'm a pack leader right because you are
  164. 05:33that energy
