This video, I'm going to be sharing with you why I stopped smoking weed or marijuana, how
I did it, and how it's absolutely transformed my life since I've done so.
Welcome back to another video.
My name is Aaron and I help people expand their consciousness.
Now in this video I'm going to be sharing with you the why I quit smoking marijuana
and how I did it and how it changed my life and baby.
A perspective that you haven't heard before.
Now, first off, let me say with this that I quit back in 2012, so it's been a while
now, but I feel like I want to make this video because there's a perspective that I have
with it that I think is a little bit different than you've heard of other people that may
have talked about the same thing, how they used to do it and how they stopped doing it.
First off, let me say, you know, I live in Vegas.
It's legal here, is legal becoming more and more legal other places.
I'm not in any way saying that weed is bad or marijuana is bad.
The question is not whether it's bad or good, I think the question is is isn't efficient
and does it work for you?
Because for a long time I was smoking and just to give you a little bit of a background
on it, I used to have what is called Adhd, which means I was taking adderall so that
I could focus which would like really help me focus, but the side effects of adderall
where I couldn't eat very much and I couldn't sleep very much, so I took adderall for years.
I worked a sales commission job at the time selling women's shoes and I remember I would
take that during the day at work.
I'd be very focused.
I would make a lot of money and then I would go home and at the end of the night it was.
It would have trouble sleeping and I have trouble eating well.
What takes care of that?
Well, weed is something that when you do it enhances your appetite and it also enhances
being able to sleep good.
So what I would do is during the day I would take adderall.
I would make money at work selling women's shoes at Nordstrom's here in Las Vegas and
I would come home at night and then what I would do is I would smoke so that I could
kind of wind down and get to a place to where I could eat and I could sleep.
And I did that for a long for, for probably a year and a half, two years very consistently.
And it worked at the time.
However, one of the things I realized was that I felt like I felt like I was dependent
on it as dependent on both the adderall and that of the weed.
And I remember just starting to get little signs.
It was almost like little signs that there was other ways to go about this.
And there was other ways that I could balance out my energy.
And I remember I actually came across and found a, a, a, a research article on meditation
and the powerful effects of meditation, how meditation can balance out the hormones.
Um, and I was like, oh, that's cool because it's adderall is making me feel more dopamine.
But then I'm crashing and I don't feel as good, and meditation is something I can do
that I can balance myself out and there's only positive side effects, then why wouldn't
I try that?
So the idea was I'm going to try meditation.
So what I did is I started meditating and at first I thought it was kind of annoying
to meditate.
I remember sitting down and a.
What I did is I started at a candle flame because I read that somewhere.
If you started a candle flame, it keeps the eyes focused on one point.
And when your eyes are focused on one point, your eyes aren't moving around.
If you've ever heard that saying that when your eyes wander, your mind wanders.
It's like every time your eyes shift, you have a new point of stimulus.
So if you keep it focused on one point and it becomes much easier to focus.
So what I did is I focused on that candle flame, that one point, and then the first
day or two that I decided to learn meditation, there wasn't a huge difference because I was
still trying to control my mind.
I was like, can't think negative thoughts.
This is also shortly after I learned that I learned that have the secrets and the power
of it.
I was really starting to apply it in my life, which is like the law of attraction.
So what I was thinking negative thoughts as I can't think negative thoughts.
I was trying to block them out because I didn't want to manifest something bad, but what I
did is a. by the third day I read somewhere and I just had this feeling that if I would
just observe my thoughts and allow them to be there, that that would change a lot, that
I would get a completely different result.
And I remember that I made this choice, that I sat down and it was Kinda like this, this
unconscious choice I made.
I said, I know my life is going to change forever from learning this and doing this
meditation.
I just had this feeling about it.
So what I did is I sat down and I stared at the candle flame and I observed my thoughts
and I started to detach.
I started these hats from the thoughts.
I started to see them as thoughts rather than as me.
I started to observe my ego in a new way and as I did that I started to relate to myself
in a new way and then I saw how a lot of the thoughts I had or just on recycle, they're
just recycled over and over again and from that it was like I could see these thoughts
come in and I could see them leave.
I could see the come in and leave and I was allowing them to be there, but the more I
did that, the more I began to feel better, the more like my vibration began to raise
and I began to feel high naturally because I wasn't smoking when I was doing that meditation
and it was just this.
It was just this feeling that began to elevate within me and over the course of like another
couple of days of doing it, I started to feel like a completely new person simply because
I was observing my thoughts rather than reacting to them.
Now this is when my life really began to change.
I remember that I went back and forth for awhile with weed because what I did is, uh,
I, I still, my mind still wanted it, so I remember that I have good friends here in
Vegas that own the best smoke shop here in Vegas.
And um, I used to go in there and get pieces and stuff and I remember one time I got a
bong and I brought it home and I knew I should've already quit.
Like, like I knew that I already decided to and I felt kind of guilty about getting it
because I knew I was going into a new direction, but I bought this really Nice Bong.
I remember I took one hit out of it and I knew that was the last hit I was ever going
to take.
And when I, when I took that hit, I, um, it was like I knew it as I was hitting it that
that was going to be the last hit I ever took.
And in the moment that I realized that it was the only hit I ever took out of that bank,
I started to cry and I was crying.
And as I was crying, I was letting go of all the past emotion that I felt from smoking
weed so consistently because I was using it as a crutch because I had a painful childhood
growing up.
I had an abusive ex stepmom and I had all these emotions that were kind of suppressed.
So I would do that and that would kind of help me to like, numb that pain or that remembrance
of those thoughts.
And when I was going through that and I was crying, I was bringing up these emotions from
the past of, of, uh, of remembering how I made people feel when I was doing it because
I used to go to my dad's house a lot.
Not that I'm not saying that there's really anything bad about this, but in general I
felt guilty because I go over to my dad's house and um, I would hang out with like the
family and stuff, but I would be, you know, I would kind of be there but not be there
in a way.
And I knew he knew that.
So I kind of felt his emotion of what he felt.
And I felt emotions of other people's in my life that felt that the residual of me doing
it and kind of always been in that state and um, I felt this release of energy flushed
through me and it was like I was releasing it.
And after that, uh, I never, I never had a desire to do it again and I was able to then
just meditate and then my vibration and began to raise.
And I want to share with you this chart of consciousness right here just to show you
that once you raise your vibration to a certain point, smoking weed or even drinking will
bring your vibration down because your natural vibration is to be in a high vibrational state.
I would say that on a scale of one to 10, I normally felt like I was at about a three
to a five out of 10 with 10 feeling amazing.
One feeling not so great.
After I learned meditation and after I went through what's called a spiritual awakening,
where I realized that I'm not my ego.
I'm not just my thoughts.
There's more than that.
I went to like a seven or eight out of 10.
I started to feel really, really good, so because I was feeling really good, anytime
I would do anything like smoke weed or drink, it would bring my vibration down, so I was
like, why am I doing this?
So eventually I just completely got rid of it.
So that was, that was something that changed my life is learning how to raise my vibration
and once you raise your vibration, you don't need anything else.
Not saying this to Brag, but I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't drink caffeine, I just,
I have a lot of it.
You may notice my videos.
I have a lot of energy.
I have a lot of energy all the time.
It's our natural state.
As you feed your body good food, if you are doing that of what you love, especially I
make videos, I do what I love.
Then I'm in a high vibrational state majority of the time and that I believe is our natural
state of being.
I want to show you this chart right here just to show you the chart of consciousness that
I share in many videos because these are different calibrations on this, so your see at the bottom
shame, fear, guilt, and then you'll see a powerful step is neutrality.
When we learn how to observe our thoughts, that's what I started to do was to observe
my thoughts and then my vibration began to raise above that, and then what happens is
you get that to acceptance, willingness, acceptance, and then you'll see that of reasoning, love,
joy, peace, enlightenment.
Now this is the scale of consciousness that is from a book called power vs force.
Now these states of emotion have different calibrations, and based on these calibrations
you can calibrate things using muscle testing.
That's what the book power versus force talks about two to identify truth or false hood
and to also calibrate different things.
So there's certain activities that vibrate at a certain calibration.
Now, let me share that.
A couple of calibrations just so you get a feel for this.
Einstein calibrated at four 99 because that's reasoning.
That's the intellect, he took it as far as you could possibly go, and in order to get
to love, he would have had to let go of that intellect.
So that's reasoning.
He was out for 99.
If you look at certain other things though, that calibrate at a certain frequency now
alcohol calibrates at about two 75.
So you see two 75 on the scale isn't necessarily high and when people do it, they may feel
relief if they're in the lower emotions and then they drink, they may feel a little bit
better.
However, then you see that of acceptance.
Now we'd calibrates at about 340 to 370, which is right.
I've acceptance now.
It's a funny thing because when you smoke, what kind of state do you get in to kind of
accept the moment as it is?
You're kind of like, oh, it's all good.
Uh, you, you're more just more just in that state of allowing.
Now, the thing is is for a lot of people, maybe if you're in the lower states or you're
feeling a certain way and you do it, you will get a pick me up.
You will feel better, but the thing is is when you raise your vibration to a higher
state of consciousness, then you are above that.
So when you do those things, it didn't brings you down.
You may be at reasoning and then bringing yourself down to acceptance, or you may be
at a at acceptance and bringing yourself down to drink.
If you drink, you might bring you down even more to pride.
You know, it's funny because drinking is close to courage, but courage still has a little
bit of pride in it, but why do they call it liquid courage?
You see?
So that's kind of an interesting idea, but as you look at the scale right here, what
you'll notice is there's different calibrations.
Now, when you raise your vibration by observing your thoughts not attaching to the ego and
reasoning, it's about understanding that you realize your beliefs create your reality.
You start to let go of all of the, the things that power, anything that has power over you,
and you start to realize things and you start to relate to life in a different way.
As you raise your frequency, you will then resonate with new people.
You will then resonate with you opportunities in your life.
So what I would say to anyone that is smoking weed, it's first off, I'm not telling you
it's bad.
I'm not telling you to even stop.
I'm saying, just be honest with yourself because the last thing you wanna hear is somebody
telling you when you smoke, especially, it's almost like you want to block out anybody
saying anything different.
I wish that was me.
I didn't.
I would come across an article and I wouldn't want to read it because I didn't want it to
interfere with me and join the the, the process or the activity of smoking.
However, I'm just.
See if this resonates with you, maybe instead you, you move and you focused on raising your
vibration and by doing so you'll find that some things just don't resonate anymore.
Everything within you, everything is within you to feel joy, love and peace that's within
you and if you do the inner work, you will actually raise your vibration more.
I think a lot of people hold themselves back with smoking weed because like Alan Watts
said, once you get the message on the phone, once you get the message, hang up the phone,
but sometimes what we do is we get the message and we just keep listening and keep listening.
Keep listening.
When we already got the message and we can move and I see a lot of people that I think
have even more potential what they could accomplish and some people justify it and they'll say,
oh, well I spoke.
I'm more creative and more of this.
I think that the most potent energy we have is within us and when we align it to what
we want and we have a desire, or at least we align with it, vibrationally will create
what we want in our life, but the best way to focus with that is through our own energy
and we don't need anything else other than that.
Now I'm not saying to never do it, I'm just saying to be honest with yourself and see
is it really sufficient for you?
Is it really serving you?
Because if it is serving you, then I think that's great, but be honest with doing it
and whether you can make the transition and maybe let it go.
I have a feeling that a lot of you reading or watching this right now, if you were to
let it go, I have a feeling you would and will raise your vibration because right now
on the planet it is a time of raising our vibe and as you raise your vibe, you're going
to resonate with new things in your life and it may actually be holding you back in many
ways.
Even just unconsciously without you even knowing it.
And when you do that, know that yes, there might be a week or two period.
That feels a little bit weird if you do it a lot.
I remember when I quit, there was a little bit of a weird feeling for a week or two,
but guess what?
It eventually went away and my natural state of being was who I am.
So what I'd say is if you quit use meditation as something that will help you do it.
Observe your thoughts, supplement it with something that's very positive and doing so.
You'll begin to raise your vibration as you raise your vibration up to scale of consciousness,
you'll realize that you don't need to smoke, you don't need to even drink.
You can just feel good and high.
All of the time being high is your natural state of being.
And I believe that the more you look into that and the more that you, you realize that
the more you could have beaten to embody who you really are.
So with that being said, um, I also will be doing more live Kennedy's on instagram.
If you want to ask me questions about this, if you want me to make a followup video as
to exactly how to do it, rather than just supplementing it with meditation, you want
more information on that?
Leave a comment below.
Let me know what you think of this video.
Is that something that resonates with you?
Is this a video that maybe will help you to let go of it and start to be in your own high
vibrational state?
Let me know what you think below.
Uh, and also, yeah, daily live q and a's on instagram.
You'll see me there.
I post twice a day there as well.
Other than that, I hope you enjoyed this video.
