[restrict paid=”true”]

Taylor Eyewalker 1:53

Happy to share, really happy to share. And I think it all started with my very young healing path when I was eight years old, I always remembered being connected to something greater than I am. I always felt something very deep. And I was always very interested in acupuncture, holistic healing, yoga, and herbs. And it was just a part of me since I was a child. And I think part of it is because my mother instilled that in me, and as I grew up, I thought it would be cool to become an artist and I was really good at being an artist.

And that's really what I wanted to do. And I was kind of pushed and freed by my family to be an artist. And then as I developed myself as an artist, I kept feeling this longing inside that I had something deeper to offer. And I didn't realize until later that I could merge my relationship was art in the world of form. And so the world of healing so I can help people develop themselves more fully, and heal inside of their bodies to become more radiant, bright, resilient, clear, and joyful, and then allow this human experience to become a work of art. So that's actually what kind of inspired me as a child a sort of childlike desire to understand human psychology and the nature of being human. And it translated into what I'm doing today. So that's what had me start my business.

Gresham Harkless 3:13

No, that's awesome, especially for you at such a young age to be able to have that intuition and be able to tap into those things and still kind of kind of coupled the artistry that you talked about growing up into what you're doing today. And like you said, Life is kind of like an art form in and of itself. So I think that's pretty awesome. You've been able to tap into that. So I wanted to drill a little bit deeper to kind of learn a little bit more about how you tap into that human art form and how you serve your clients.

Taylor Eyewalker 3:37

I have a few different ways that I work with people and I teach Kundalini Yoga, which is a form of yoga that works with the nervous system, the endocrine system, the glandular system, and the consciousness of the being. So I teach one on one Kundalini Yoga, I do group training, I do group classes, and I do retreats all over the world. And then I also have developed a training modality that is yogic, but it also is about merging our ordinary world.

So how to get our ordinary world together, which means the tangible and the finite, right, and then how to merge it with our extraordinary world, our inner world, which is more of our spiritual life, our connection to our soul, and that's called the uncoil method. And so that's part of the work that I do with people. And then I also work with people. I've been studying shamanic healing for a while for a long time, actually. So I do different healing modalities. And then I work with herbs and plants as well. Those are kind of the breakdown nature of how I share with my clients.

Gresham Harkless 4:43

Awesome, awesome, awesome. And what I wanted to do was drill a little bit even deeper to ask you like, what do you feel makes you unique? What is your kind of secret sauce, so to speak?

Taylor Eyewalker 4:51

My mission, if I could say a soul mission and a really kind of short-blasted way, is I want to support people in creating an unobstructed reality that allows their creative essence to flow fully. So they can feel who they actually came here to be on planet Earth, rather than what we've been taught to be or trained to be or program to be. So we can actually know who it is we are.

So my secret sauce is getting in there and helping you remove the blockages that are blocking you from your creative expression and your creative fulfillment. So you can actually be who you came here to be on planet Earth. And then my lineage, we call it a Dharma, they call it like living your path, right, living your highest soul's path.

Gresham Harkless 5:43

That's powerful, that's powerful. And I think, yeah, we're going through life, it seems like there's more and more quote-unquote, blockage, I guess you can say, and things that get in your way and inhibit you from being the essence of who you are, and what you should be in what path you should be going. So that's awesome that you're able to kind of, of course, do it for yourself, but also to kind of impart that and help other people out with it.

Taylor Eyewalker 6:00

Absolutely. Because we are all experiencing that in some sort of way, right? We're all experiencing some sort of blockage, some sort of limitation, some reason why we're not getting what we want in life, or we're not getting our dreams fulfilled, or we're not in the flow, you know, rather than future projecting, maybe some people don't want a future project, but we want to be in the flow. And a flow state is when we can remove the obstruction.

Gresham Harkless 6:25

Awesome, awesome, awesome. So it's great that you've been able to do that. So I wanted to switch gears a little bit and ask you for what I call a CEO hack. And the CEO hack is it can be an app, it could be a book, or it could be just something that you do on a regular everyday basis that makes you more effective and efficient.

Taylor Eyewalker 6:40

Boom, I know, every CEO probably does this too, or at least I would hope so journaling, okay, my teacher said this. So I'm going to give you guys this little tip of the trade. So he says that there is like a simple equation for happiness, you want to be five minutes early, always, you want to meet 10% below budget, and you want to take 15 minutes every morning to create your day. And this is when I really talk about journaling in that 15 minutes, you take it in the morning, and you mold your day, you're actually doing what's called Future projecting, right?

So you are determining how your day is going to go naturally, all kinds of occurrences calm and obstructions come with the more you hone in on being able to mold and create your day, the more successful you'll be, then 20 minutes a day to just be you to just do you, that's a hack to so no matter if you have children, a family, people that need you a bustling business, you have to take time away, I mean, go in the bathroom, and like being alone in the bathroom. If you need 20 minutes a day, you have to do that. And then 31 minutes for your meditation, if you take 31 minutes for your meditation, and then at the end of the day, again for another 15 to 20 minutes journal regarding the success of your day.

I experienced what I was looking for the right, and then how could I have done better? And to go into that there, there are many also ways that you could kind of psychologically probe into your state of the day. But in a simple way, it's about creating the day in the morning, ending the day at night by observing your state, observing yourself, and then taking these other little tips. And that's a hack for a very successful business life. Because everything is business like everybody's the CEO of their own life. And that's why I want people to start to realize that everything is a business with us.

But not everything is a transaction. But we are always having a business relationship with something right. And so if we make it our business, we can really start to be successful, we make it our business to have a happy relationship, we make it our business to have a successful business and a career, we make it our business to have a healthy relationship with who we are. So that's what I feel as like that's a CEO.

Gresham Harkless 9:09

That's an awesome CEO, hack, definitely, you know, be able to kind of break down your day and break down the minutes as far as like how you should dedicate those minutes and how that helps to kind of help you improve and help you to be like an even better CEO. So I love that CEO hack. And I'm definitely still in that if that's okay.

Taylor Eyewalker 9:24

Yeah.

Gresham Harkless 9:25

Awesome, awesome, awesome. So I wanted to ask you now for what I call a CEO nugget. And this is like a word of wisdom or piece of advice you might have for us.

Taylor Eyewalker 9:33

Okay, you see a situation, it might be a red flag when you say should I get involved in this business deal? Should I get involved in this relationship? Should I get involved with this thing? And you know, your internal signal is like, this is good for me. This is not good for me. And sometimes, you know, intuitively, you have to go into that red flag, right? You have to go into the thing that actually doesn't really feel quite right, and you go in with it, the best intentions of it doing your best and showing up completely and it works out.

And then a lot of times, if you tune back into that original feeling, and you look at the situation that you're in, you can see, wow, I'm, I'm failing miserably, like, I'm failing miserably in this situation right now. And I saw this before I got into it. But I needed to get into this in order to experience this massive amount of failure because I could have never learned this textbook, I could have never learned this in school, or in a training. And so I needed to go into this and they actually needed to feel it in my limbic system. And that's why I'm explaining this in this way, we have to feel it inside of our limbic system to know how to retrain ourselves in a different way.

So the nugget is that you're going to go into red flags, you're gonna go into awesome situations, but remember that these red flags are equally as valuable. And these crumbling and these destructions, and these, you know, sometimes like deterioration of relationships that you wanted to work out, they're necessary for you to develop an author more of who you are as a business person and as a leader.

So these are your golden moments. Okay, so if we can learn how to look at these moments like they're, they're golden, they're precious, and not to let it get us down, we can really find success.

Gresham Harkless 11:35

I love that, I love that. Yes. And we haven't I don't think that definitely explained in that way. So I love that just because you, you start to experience life, whether it's good or bad, and you start to take that for what it is, and not necessarily trying to manipulate it and make it into something else. So you appreciate every part of life as well, too. So I love that aspect. So my favorite question now is just to ask you, and you might have touched on it a little bit. But exactly what does being a CEO mean to you?

Taylor Eyewalker 12:01

Yeah, so I'll get into it a little more. Being a CEO, I think of the word authoring, right? I love the word authoring. Because I am authoring my life, which means I am taking complete and total responsibility for the script. That is my reality. And so when I understand how to take complete and total responsibility for absolutely everything that happens in front of me, I am the Chief Executive Officer of my reality. In some of the teachings that I share, I share what's called SRA, which is SRA, it stands for see realize act, we see what must be done, and we realize that it's our responsibility. And we act as if we are, you know, God's agent on the scene or, you know, spirits agents on the scene or master of the scene.

And that, to me is what a CEO is where we can understand that we are all powerful, every single one of us, we have all the energy within us to offer the life that we want to have to offer the business that we want to have. We just have to know how to create a strategy and intelligent approaches for us to you know, make the mistakes, we need to have the successes that we need to and just get into it and work on writing the story in a way that brings us to our highest excitement.

Gresham Harkless 13:38

Awesome, awesome. I love that as well, too. So, Taylor, I truly appreciate you for taking some time out of your schedule to tell us all this awesome insight, what I wanted to do was pass you the mic so to speak to see if there's anything additional, you want to let our readers and our listeners know and how people can get a hold of you.

Taylor Eyewalker 13:53

I am offering a lot of different pieces of training in the coming year. So 2019 is going to be a lot of shifts in my business, I'm turning my business into a three-tiered training. And I had done one on one uncoil method training. And I have also launched a group uncoils method training. And the way that I'm going to relaunch the uncoil method for groups is that I want to offer a level-one immersive experience for the uncoil method. That is basically a city immersion with 80 people, it's going to be high energy you're going to learn a lot of tools for success and grounding your energy in the world and activating your energy so you can get lit up with fire with energy with brightness with radiance.

And that's going to be like a base weekend and I hope that a lot of people will join that and get transformed from that level one and then I'll be offering deeper level two training in different parts of the world and beautiful locations for retreat firms. And then I will be offering me uncoil method in a trainers and training program.

So I would like to offer people the opportunity to train and do what I do. So that's what I'm really launching as a CEO right now. And it's a very exciting time. And the way that people can keep in touch with me or what I'm doing is usually through Instagram @tayloreyewalker show notes and, and tayloreyewalker.com. And sign up for my newsletter and reach out to me and tell me how I can help you tell me what you would like for me to do in order to be of service to the community, you can come to one of my many Kundalini yoga classes, or if you're in the LA area, we can work privately or if you're on Skype or anywhere in the world, we can do uncoil method privately or I can work with you in so many different types of ways.

Gresham Harkless 16:02

Awesome, awesome, awesome. And we will have all those links in the show notes. So just in case anybody's listening, you could definitely follow up. But I truly appreciate everything you're doing to make a huge impact on the world. And I appreciate you of course for taking some time out of your schedule to kind of speak with us and I just hope that you have a phenomenal rest of the day.
