I talk a lot about unleashing the beast here at Rageheart but itās not what you might first think.
I donāt mean ābeastā as in lots of money, muscles or Maseratis šļø

I mean ābeastā in the sense that youāre completely in touch with your animal self.
The mind is a wonderful thing.
It gave us skyscrapers, cruise ships, Guns n’ Roses, comedians like Ricky Gervais and the Wheel of Time fantasy series.
But when thatās all we are – when weāre only really aware of ourselves as a mind or thoughts – we miss out on a hell of a lot of what life is (and we make ourselves vulnerable to all kinds of weird shit).
For example, a few years back, I had a couple of āfriendsā in Thailand that gave me a funny feeling š¤¢
I say āfriendsā because we used to get lunch together, spend time at their house and play hide nā seek with their 3 kids.
Nonetheless, that funny feeling remained.
I couldnāt put my finger on it but it was there.
Just a subtle feeling that whispered to me that something was off with these 2 friends.
I ignored it.
A few months later, I paid these 2 friends $3k for a life coaching arrangement.
The result?
They turned out to be some of the most manipulative and abusive people Iāve ever met š¤¬
Somehow I knew it⦠long before I hired them.
Not in my mind.
I couldnāt put words to it⦠but my body knew.
That was the source of the āfunny feelingā.
I ignored it and it cost me.
It cost me a 4 year romantic relationship with the love of my life (I was starting to think about marriage and kidsā¦) as well as 1-2 years to pick up the pieces and sort myself out afterwards š°
All because I ignored what my body was telling me.
That was before I discovered the world of nervous system healing. The world of rewilding the nervous system. The world of unleashing the beast inside us.
Now that Iām more in tune with my body and instincts (the beast), I donāt fall for that shit anymore šŖ
Iāve since met similar people and when that funny feeling pops its head up, I pay attention.
It sounds simple – just pay attention to your gut instincts – and yet in many ways itās absolutely not simple.
Maybe you can feel your gut impulses and instincts as clear as day⦠but if not, you have some work to do (unless youāre happy getting manipulated and controlled by the people around you?) š¤
The key is to learn how to get out of your head and into your body. Out of thinking and into feeling. Because thatās when those gut impulses and beastly instincts become as clear as day.
Hereās how to do that:
