Ep66 Stages of Love to…Somewhere Want to Learn How to Increase Your Longevity?  Download your Free ebook @ www.kaiehnes.com  Hello and Welcome to the Way of the Emotional Warrior Podcast.  My name is Kai Ehnes and today we will be answering the question of: What are the stages of love? At the time of this writing, the current divorce rate in the U.S. is 44.6%. So, just under 1 out of every 2 marriages end in divorce. Hm…Do those lucky ones who fell in love and then propose think about this statistic? Let’s assume that you want to be married for the duration of your lifetime. How can you find success in endeavor? It turns out that science has studied the nature of relationships. Its not necessarily about following any specific method of relationship success but rather knowing what’s actually supped to happen and how you can extract from all those methods what works in your own relationship. Again, I do want to point out that relationships require effort. Leave it unattended and weeds start to grow and take over.  Ok. I don’t want to be part of the divorce rate statistic. What do I do? It begins with knowing the stages of relationships. Stage one is Falling in love. Passion energy is strong. A baseline lust type of passion. Alongside that builds intimacy but it does so at a slower rate. Neuroscience has shown that cortisol is secreted in these stages. This helps people to overcome the fear of this new and possible relationship. Yes you want it but Oh my, I am also nervous about what that means. So think about it, this initial stage means that there is a frenzy plus the desire to bond. This is great right? Well…it last about 6 months. So for these 6 months the relationship is fairly easy. You have full neurochemical support and can’t make bigger decisions because of reduction of brain activity in higher cortexes. Let’s say you make it the 6 months. Now comes stage 2 which is passionate love. You transition into quite easily and you are seeking safety and harmony with your partner. Things become comfortable and this lasts for years. Neuroscience shows that oxytocin is active in this stage forming strong bonds. Next we get to companionate love. The passion starts to decrease while commitment and intimacy grows. The relationship becomes one of being Best friends. Commitment begets the reward of intimacy. Intimacy is about being close. This is crucial for the survival of the relationship. That bond with someone is amazing. In 2007 Robert Sternberg coined the term “triangular love theory.” He stated that couples go through these 3 stages. He shows that different combinations and intensities of these 3 stages play out with couples. He also found that people progress in predictable ways. The key to what he found for this episode is that successful long term relationships have a combination of multiple stages simultaneously. Meaning falling in love and passionate love develop together. Throw in a bit of companionate love and something else can slow down a bit. In the end, strong long term couples continually put effort into all 3 areas of love. Time to see how it applies to an Emotional Warrior: If you are someone looking for the One then that means you want a healthy long term relationship with that person.  Sternberg calls this consummate love. This is the perfect couple. Their sex lives are good, they enjoy being together with the other person, they are gracious through their difficulties and both people truly love Being with the other one. In addition, emotional warriors know that this type of relationship is extremely special. That means effort is at the top of the list. Both people put forth the effort. When someone needs support, the other person is fully there to give it. When things are good they are easy, when it gets more difficult then more effort is required. When both people harness more of their positive emotional vibrations... Support this podcast

Ep65 Frustration…What a Challenge Want to Learn How to Increase Your Longevity?  Download your Free ebook @ www.kaiehnes.com     Hello and Welcome to the Way of the Emotional Warrior Podcast.  My name is Kai Ehnes and today we will be answering the question of : What lesson or lessons can Frustration offer us? I truly had all good intentions of continuing my segment on love and The One for today’s episode. However, I am experiencing quite a bit of frustration over the past few days so I thought it might be of some value to dive into it a bit and see how being an emotional warrior helps in these times. Let’s start with what frustration means. It starts with the feeling or state of being frustrated. Ok circular logic only increases frustration. So what is frustration? Psychology defines it as an emotional response to opposition. What is this opposition? It has to do with our goals and our will not being fulfilled or met.  The research says that the typical responses to either internal or external conflict are often anger, violence, or passive aggressive behavior. I often mention David Hawkins’ work on the levels of consciousness. He assigns number values to different emotions. 200 is the magic level that separates the lower, often damaging emotions from the higher level positive helpful expanding emotions. The definition of frustration shows that we easily get pulled or pushed into the lower emotional levels. Well, that’s just great. You make a plan, execute the necessary tasks, lets say you even do everything right and something externally blocks you. Let’s assume it’s a block that you can not break down. The only choices are to stay or back up, or get around. Let’s go through the options. First…you can stay put and keep running into the block. It will not give, only you get hurt. Second you can go backwards. The only way I read this option is that you end up hiding. Still the block remains. Blowing up the block is not an option. What’s left is to get around it. As an emotional warrior, you have some tools available to you. First, do something physical like a workout. Get your energy moving in a healthy constructive way. With that edge of raw energy brought down a bit try going to the other side. Practice heart-mind coherence. Find a place where you can be alone for a few moments. Sit comfortably, take your hand (either one) and touch your chest where your heart is, with your fingers. Now try to settle in and focus on the area you are touching while breathing. Try to do it for 5 minutes. More if you can do it. This should settle your system down so that you can take yourself from the red zone to a calmer place. Now…can getting around this block bring something better? Sometimes the block may be showing you something that has been broken or in need of attention but you were not dealing with it. By problem solving from a heart-mind coherent place you can come up with more creative and beneficial solutions. Your mindset is what you have control over. Your responses are something you have control over. Maybe you can even get to the place, after you solve the block, where you can address larger questions and issues in your life.   Yes we all get frustrated. Going to the Red Zone of the lower emotions like anger and violence are completely counter productive. We all have to deal with these situations. Remember that you are an emotional warrior. Leave yourself clues to that mindset so that when you get into crisis you can find yourself able to reach into your emotional toolkit and move into positive constructive thoughts and behaviors. When your heart-mind grid is in coherence, you get master your emotional turbulences. Good luck. ~Peace Support this podcast

Want to Learn How to Increase Your Longevity?  Download your Free ebook @ www.kaiehnes.com  Hello and Welcome to the Way of the Emotional Warrior Podcast.  My name is Kai Ehnes and today we will be answering the question of: How can you create the One? Oh I am sure this sounds absolutely crazy. What do you mean you can create someone. Well, first off this not so much about anything physical but much moreso along the emotional and interior life. So let’s get started. Last week we spoke about having to do some emotional and spiritual work within yourself so that you can meet the One. Think of it this way. Imagine that you are trying to find the right radio station. Back in the day, radios had a knob that you turned and this sort of wacky red or white needle would move left or right. Inside the radio this shifted the receiver to be able to pick up the various frequencies of different radio stations. There were 2 bands for the public. AM and FM. You gently turned the know until you found a station, then you had to turn the dial back and forth until had the best reception. Of course, if this was inside of a car you had to do it again shortly because you were moving which changed the reception.  Good, if you did it right, you were rewarded with a great song and clear reception. In pother words you had to do some work (dial turning) the radio station did its job by sending signals. Connection established. Here is how it worked for me. In another time I was a singled dad of two boys. They kept me quite busy, so dating was sparse. What I found is what I think many people experience which is that dating was fun but like the radio example, didn’t have the right reception. You know when you are scrolling through various TV channels but simply can’t find anything that grabs your attention. Sometimes you even end up watching something you don’t even really care about but you simply don’t have the energy to ramp up for doing something else? That’s what dating was like. Very nice people but I already had a very busy and established life. So I took some time off from it all and started to do the work. I had a large whiteboard and started to write on it what I wanted in someone else. I came up with a good list of traits. For a while the list simply sat there. Periodically I would add or remove something. I would alter the order of the traits. Then it started to take on a life of itself. What happened was life changing in numerous ways. One evening I was looking over the list and the universe sent me the idea that what I was asking goes in both directions. Was I actually living the characteristics of the list? I mean honestly, is it fair to ask anything of someone else if you don’t exhibit those traits yourself. Here is an example: Is it ok to demand that another person be loyal and not cheat but you would cross that line if you felt like it? So, I gave myself the task of doing an inventory of each trait. How solid was I an any and all of those traits that I thought The One should exhibit. There were some moments of honesty I had to look into. This is what I mean by doing the Work. In all of the different areas of your personality, where are you out of balance? Then you step in with honesty and integrity, look at your short comings or excesses and seek help to address them. This became a lot of fun. I had quite a bit of work to do. It has been ongoing every day. What became clear was this: If you want the One you first have to Be the One. That means you do the work which is like turning the radio dial. You adjust your self (the radio) by adjusting your frequency reception and suddenly the right station will appear. In this case the right person emerged. I knew the universe was conspiring for this to happen. The events of my meeting My One were pretty wild. That will be another story for another time. What about the kids you might ask. Well, one day when I... Support this podcast

You know, that one person out of all 7.8 something billion of us. Picture that for one moment. Here we are born into a certain family, in a certain town, in a certain country on this planet and somewhere along the line someone threw out into human consciousness that we have to find The One. Again, think about that…imagine being in a larger room with 200 people. Try finding someone in that crowd. Now magnify that to finding one person in 7.8 billion beings. How can you even know when it is that person? Maybe you have never traveled very far and you found someone you really like. How can you ever fully settle in? maybe someone is moreso The one than the one you are with? This can drive any sane person crazy. What to do? Well…enter prime time to being an emotional warrior. Neuroscience has various explanations of how the brain works and responds with its neurochemistry, evolutionary psychology has its own set of answers. Here are a few ideas. A good amount of research points to the idea that in many species, the females make decisions about a partner. In reaction, males have created various traits and behaviors to try to make themselves be noticed and more attractive. While this seems a perfectly reasonable order of events, why is it so difficult to find the right person to be a good match? Neuroscience has shown that the chemistry rush that overtakes our brain when we are attracted to someone actually do us a disservice. The logical reasoning part of the brain can not compete with the chemicals of lust. This is kind of funny if you take a second. We invest so much into our thinking brain but in matters of the heart and relationships it has to take a back set in the initial critical stages. Typically, we are motivated and learn by way of our environment. Rewards and negative consequences plus social media, throw in a healthy dose of FOMO (the fear of missing out) and voila our lives are in a way being lived FOR us way more than being lived BY us. So where do we start? In and with one of our most obvious yet elusive places…namely ourselves. That’s right. Start with yourself. Do The Work. What work you ask? The work of developing and building yourself. We spend our entire life building the persona or side of our psersonality that we think we are supposed to be in society and the world. We figure out how to behave in groups, school, a job a family etc…we become really good at being what others want us to be and we ehtink they want us t be. This game start very early in childhood and continues on and on. Ony you can put on the brakes to this never ending frenzy and decide to investigate who you actually are? Wait…I know who I am. I am person X who does This and likes that etc…yes that’s true but is that really you? How do you even know if you know yourself? From the point of view of an emotional warrior, you find inner peace and live authentically. With enough work you begin to live honestly. You master your emotions and live intentionally. Joy and gratitude and appreciation become part of your day to day. You become enmeshed in this life on this planet at this point in time. Now, you stop making other people into having to be The One. You can stop searching for one in 7.8 billion. You become the One. You light shines so bright that anyone and everyone else can see its beauty. Now the right person who has done their share of their own work can find you and it can be love at first sight. It is a lot of emotional, spiritual, physical work. Many bumps in the road. Love is a precious thing. How many songs, books and poems have been written... Support this podcast

Learn how to Live Longer @ www.kaiehnes.com Ep61 Huli Huli…Can Turning BBQ Over Help My Emotional Transformation Hello and Welcome to the Way of the Emotional Warrior Podcast.  My name is Kai Ehnes and today we will be answering the question of Huli Huli…how the flipping of BBQ can elevate our emotions game. When I heard this term, it instantly made me think about how it can help in terms of personal transformation. Why?? Lets start with what it means. Huli Huli is Hawaiian and means turn, turn.  In 1955, Ernest Morgado, a Honolulu businessman, served a group of farmers grilled chicken that had been marinated in his mother’s teriyaki-style sauce. It was such a hit that he decided to market it with the name “huli huli.” Now you might be wondering how huli huli has anything to do with emotional transformation, right? Well, it means you can turn over parts of yourself that you might think don’t need investigating. Lets look at you relationship for a second. Assume that you think everything is going just fine. Huli huli would mean that you lovingly ask your partner a question or two that you take for granted but might be lacking in their world. I want to really stress that you have to be ok with the answers that come back. But hey, truth is the right path. So here is an example. You are watching a movie with your love and the characters are moving through their story line. One character tells the other that they often feel lonely in their marriage. Huli huli means you have to turn turn your assumption about your relationship. Ask your partner if they ever feel lonely in your relationship. Maybe they say yes. Now you have a great opportunity to investigate further and make the changes that will improve the relationship. On the other hand, maybe they say no. You might think that you are off the hook but huli huli would say that you turn turn that answer as well. Maybe you make more effort to offer comfort and support to your love. Either way you are improving the basis of your relationship. Huli huli is a win. Turn over parts of ourself, your relationships, community, life perspective…on and on Maybe you are thinking why not let sleeping dogs lie. Well, complacency is the hobgoblin of little minds. As emotional warriors, it is our drive to leave no rock unturned and clean up our Stuff. Professor of Neuroscience, Michael Platt, shared the following in an interview with the HR Observer that:  1. Neuroscience research shows that opposing brain circuits support routine and divergent thinking. Innovation thus requires unplugging from rote tasks like email or filling out spreadsheets. 2.  Neuroscience research suggests mindfulness meditation activates the brain’s “innovation network” thereby boosting creativity. Brief mindfulness exercises improve both creative problem-solving and protect against stress. 3.  Brain research shows that decisions can be either fast or accurate, but typically not both. There is a tradeoff between speed and accuracy. Generally, stepping back and slowing down improves decisions.   The first point of the brain circuits divergent thinking supports expanding your emotional awareness. An emotional warrior can easily use huli huli to turn over their routines and assumptions gaining creative insight on how to uplevel their lives. Emotional mastery is complex. First there has to be awareness. Think of the old adage: If it ain’t broke don’t fix it but that was improved years ago into the statement if it ain’t broke, fix it anyway. That’s what this work is all about. Making yourself better and transforming your life is what its all about. Good luck on your journey😊 ~Peace End: I hope you enjoyed this episode and I will see you next time around…take care. Support this podcast

In invite you to Free copy of My ebook @ www.kaiehnes.com Ep60 Playfulness and Curiosity Hello and Welcome to the Way of the Emotional Warrior Podcast.  My name is Kai Ehnes and today we will be answering the question How can you be more playful in your life?   Playfulness just sounds wonderful doesn’t it? Kids do this so naturally. Adults frown upon it because it is a thing of childhood and immaturity. A grown person can not indulge in something so silly. Seriousness is the name of the game. If it isn’t serious then it simply is not worthwhile. What if we were to look at this little bit differently. Why does play have to reserved only for little children. Modern society frowns even upon teenagers being playful. To me there is a healthy balance when being playful as an adult. I am not advocating shirking all responsibility and simply running off into the wild blue yonder. However, it is very possible to simply shift your outlook a bit to seeing the world as a place for us to play. In my world, my soul has come to this planet to play. The work has to be done no matter what, that is part of being alive but the way you approach the work will allow you to simply live with more joy. Let’s say you something breaks on your vehicle. Let’s say you have enough for a 200 dollar repair but the amount for the repair is triple that. A typical adult will panic and immediately embrace fear, invoking scarcity thinking and thus not be able to find a way to pay for the repair without having to sacrifice something else that is needed. How can you be more playful with these “serious” adult problems? Enter curiosity. Let’s try this. Instead of telling yourself and the universe how this repair bill is excessive and asking for ways to panic and not be able to afford the amount, try breathing and slowing your roll. Next, ask some curiosity  questions. Like: I wonder how this bill can be paid? Wouldn’t it be great to have several options of how to pay this bill easily and smoothly? Or…try shifting to gratitude… I am grateful that this repair bill is easily taken care of. I appreciate having a safe vehicle for my family, myself, and other drivers. Maybe play a bit by having the questions come from the vehicle instead. Like: The vehicle says, thank you for fixing me now because otherwise the damage would have been much greater. Or… I am so happy to see my mechanic friend again. Thank you. While all this may sound crazy on one hand, perception and thinking are the name of the game. The rules of the game are engineered to work in your favor when you adhere to them. Money opportunities will come your way if you think, feel and emote from a spiritually lawful place. Maybe you will think of something that you can sell that is never used and taking up space in a closet or a room. Maybe you will be offered a bonus. It all works this way. Part of the process is letting go of control over everything. This is a gripping energy that is not part of spiritual law. I want to point out that none of this about not caring or being dismissive. Quite the contrary, this about moving your own intention in a direction that will allow you to prosper. The neuroscience is quite interesting for the idea of curiosity. Researchers like Schulz and Bonawitz in 2007 and 2011, Piaget 1945, Loewenstein 1994 independently found that people like to solve information gaps and are intrigued by novel and unfamiliar items and settings. This means that we love to learn, explore and figure things out. For an emotional warrior this is very helpful. Mastering emotions is really about emotional freedom. This in turn is what allows our souls to play. An emotional warrior can incorporate playfulness and curiosity into their lives and live freely and peacefully instead of being hijacked by fear and their amygdala.   Good luck. ~Peace Support this podcast
