- This video,
I wanna share with you the most powerful habits
that I applied in my own life that completely skyrocketed
my vibration to a completely new level.
And I wanna show you
how you can also do this in your life
in a very easy, simple way,
to where in, maybe, a year from now,
you look back,
and you can see how dramatic your vibration has changed
because you applied just a few of these habits.
Now, the habits in my life that changed the most,
one of them was, for sure, back in 2012,
and I started learning more
about how my beliefs were creating my own reality,
and I started to apply the things I was learning,
and just to give it reference as well,
I was, at the time, working a job
selling women's shoes at Nordstrom's,
I felt a lot of resistance,
I wasn't where I wanted to be,
I had a lot of patterns in my life that were on autopilot:
and one of them
was just having a nine-to-five job in general,
wasn't very passionate about it,
I still had that nine-to-five job
for five years after that.
But one of the most initial increases in vibration
that I've ever had in my life
was when I went through a spiritual awakening in 2012,
and it was something that I learned out of chance in a way,
I learned about meditation because I was going online
and I was looking up for ways
that I could not have to take Adderall,
which is the prescription that I was given
because I had, what is called, ADHD,
and I would take Adderall in order to focus at work,
but then, the side effects of that were:
I couldn't eat or sleep that well at night;
I didn't have no appetite;
and I wasn't sleeping good;
I was losing weight.
Even, at one time,
I took just my prescribed amount of Adderall,
and I remember I took it, one time, at work,
and I was dehydrated,
and my hand started twitching
while I was helping a customer.
I remember the customer was like,
"Are you okay?"
She thought I was cracked out or something,
in a way, I kinda was 'cause I was on Adderall.
But I was like, "Man, I gotta change this.
I feel so dependent on these substances."
And at the time, as well, I was smoking a lot of cannabis
because that was the only way I could sleep at night,
was I'd get off work,
I'd go smoke a bunch of cannabis,
then I had an appetite,
then I could sleep,
and I felt dependent on these substances.
And then, I came across the research on meditation
and it said, literally,
"Meditation will help you to release more dopamine
and to feel more centered
and help calm your energy."
And I'm like,
"Okay, well, what are the side effects of meditation?"
And there were like,
"Side effects are a general sense of wellbeing:
you feel good about yourself;
you feel more centered;
you sleep better at night."
All of these things that like,
okay, well, I'm gonna do that over that,
so, then I started meditating.
And what meditation did for me is one:
it allowed me to become more aware in my life
of the thoughts I was thinking;
and observe my thoughts rather than react from my thoughts.
That's also when I became aware of a lot of the patterns
that were in my life from childhood,
and I was replaying similar patterns over and over again.
But before I get into that even,
what changed my life when I began meditating,
is I remember two or three days in the meditation,
first day or two, nothing really changed,
I was like, "If anything more in my head."
I was in my head, like, "If I think negative thoughts,
I'm gonna manifest something bad,
I hope I don't think negative thoughts."
And I ended up creating a lot of resistance.
But then, I learned how to observe my thoughts,
and when I observed my thoughts,
that's when the game changer started to happen:
that's when I started feeling differently;
I started to feel more present;
I started to observe my thoughts more;
I started to observe my beliefs more;
and I started to feel completely different inside my body.
And from that point forward,
within about two weeks completely quit taking Adderall,
and I became like, I just loved meditation:
I'd meditate for 10 minutes in the morning,
10 minutes at night minimum.
And at that time, I think, I was meditating
in the middle of my day too every now and then.
And even at work sometimes,
I remember working at Nordstrom's,
I'd go into the bathroom at work in a stall
and I would just sit there and meditate,
and I just enjoyed it,
I just ended up liking the feeling of meditation
and just how present I felt,
and I literally started to feel like a different person,
and I remember within two or three weeks at my job,
people were like, "What's happened to Aaron?"
I wasn't the same anymore.
And it was a positive thing,
I was way more grounded,
I'm like, "I'm just not taking Adderall anymore,
I'm not smoking anymore,
I'm just chilling and meditating."
And I remember feeling,
on a scale of one to 10:
and normally felt like I was at about a 10,
feeling fricking amazing, super almost euphoric;
to one, feeling like shit.
I normally was at about a three or a four outta 10,
and then, I started do Adderall
or I would smoke cannabis,
and move me about to five or six outta 10.
After I started meditating, observing my thoughts,
and doing that every day,
and bringing the energy back inside my body:
I went to a solid seven or eight outta 10;
I felt high all of the time,
I felt higher than when I was smoking cannabis and stuff.
And I was like, "What the hell is happening?"
I remember walking around my room
where I was living at the time,
and I remember thinking to myself,
I hope this feeling doesn't go away.
I hope that I don't drop back down
into a three or four consistently,
this feels too good to be true,
and the truth is that became my natural base point,
my natural set point
became that seven or eight outta 10.
Now the funny thing is,
it's not that I'm enlightened or anything that,
it's more so that raised my natural base point.
Now, my base point can still fall down a little bit,
I can get stressed about things,
and it can move down to a five or a four
but I don't stay there,
I come back to the solid seven or eight outta 10.
And then, actually, years later after this happened,
I ended up going and trying something called plant medicine,
which is ayahuasca,
and I ended up doing that years later,
and after I was even on YouTube and stuff that,
which I'll share more about
how that completely shifted my vibration.
But I remember that in one of the ceremonies I got,
mother Aia was like, "You know how you always say,"
it was the energy I got,
he was like, "You know how you say
that you always feel a seven outta 10."
She's like, "Well, here's a 15 outta 10."
And it was so much unconditional love
that it freaked me the fuck out,
and I was like, "This is too much.
I don't know what to do with this."
And I thought I was gonna die.
But it was just so much unconditional love,
and it was so ridiculous,
but this barometer that we have of even one to 10,
there's probably even more beyond that,
but as you raise and elevate your vibration:
you allow in more love;
you allow in more of an open heart;
you allow in more probabilities and synchronicities
that are a reflection of that new energy state
that you're able to generate.
But one of the things
that changed my life more than anything
was when I began meditating,
I started bringing the awareness more inside my body,
I started observing my thoughts,
and it completely shifted my life,
and to a point to where I was a seven or eight outta 10
until I did Aia,
and then I was told, "Here's a 15 out of 10."
And I was also told that in our lifetime
we will have the ability to feel that 15 outta 10,
and it will feel normal; it won't freak us the hell out.
That's the capacity,
I believe, we're gonna have in our lifetime
is to continue to elevate our vibration more and more
until it becomes our natural set point.
So back in 2012: learned meditation;
I started feeling high all the fricking time.
And then I was like, "Okay."
Then, that became my natural base point.
And one of the other side effects of that
was then I began to observe and realize that my stories,
here's the thing about vibration,
I believe all of our vibrations are naturally high as shit,
or I guess, not as shit, high as heck, whatever.
All these things are actually on the ground,
shit might be on the ground, hell, under the ground.
But your vibration is high as you can possibly imagine,
the only thing that keeps you from feeling high vibe
is the attachments, the stories, the beliefs,
the limitations that you hold onto,
and when you let those go, you then naturally raise up.
I didn't recognize,
I mean, for a lot of us, I believe,
we have these inner childhood experiences
that we hold onto energetically because we don't forgive,
and one of them was even outta that nine-to-five job
selling women shoes at Nordstrom's,
my manager of that department
was, literally, the same personality as my ex-stepmom,
controlling, manipulative, protected by upper management,
so we couldn't get her fired.
I remember, one time, there was this thing that happened
where I had this opportunity to get her fired,
but I was too afraid of going to HR because HR would like,
that was the thing was my ex-stepmom, by the way,
my ex-stepmom from seven to 15:
very controlling; very manipulative;
my brother and I had no freedom,
we weren't allowed to have friends;
given a TV dinner at night
and a bowl of cereal in the morning,
we were very skinny;
and had to earn going to school activities.
If we would've told a psychologist,
a school counselor, anybody what was going on,
we'd get even more punished,
so we just didn't say anything:
we just normalized the feeling of feeling trapped.
And then, at this nine-to-five job sold a woman shoes,
the manager talks down to us,
she gets away with so much shit
because all of us were afraid to go to HR
because if we ever went to HR,
they'd protect her, and then, we'd get in more trouble.
Same pattern that was alive.
And here's the interesting thing,
okay, there's a story:
one time, I was helping a customer,
not trying to toot my own horn or anything,
but for some reason as a dude, I have a big ass,
so, I was at my job,
and I was wearing these pants I had
where the manager, her name is Julie,
she thought that there were things
in the back of my pants making my butt look bigger,
so, she went up behind me,
grabbed inside of my pants trying to grab receipts,
and it was like she was grabbing my ass, on camera,
there was cameras all around,
and there was a customer that was there that was like,
"What the hell is happening?"
She was like, "What the hell?"
And she grabbed a receipt paper outta my pocket
and gave it to me,
and she was totally feeling up on me,
and the customer that was there was super weirded out.
And I could have easily gone to HR and said,
"Hey, look at this,
I feel I feel this way:
I feel completely uncomfortable."
Which it was very uncomfortable,
and it was uncomfortable more so even for the customer
that was like, "What the hell is going on?
Why did she just do that to you?
Why did she just come up, and literally, grab you,
and grab the receipts out of your pocket?"
And it was just this interesting thing
where I didn't say anything,
and I then realized though,
that after I started becoming aware of these patterns,
I realized that she, literally, was my ex-stepmom in a way,
energetically.
Not that I was just projecting that onto her,
but it was, literally, the same energy:
I always had someone in my life
that was trying to control me
because that felt safe and familiar to me.
So, one thing that I had to do is I had to complete the past
to not continue living in the past.
So the way that I completed the past
was I had to forgive my ex-stepmom.
And this is the interesting thing,
I realized that my ex-stepmom
was so abusive towards my brother and I,
and such a narcissist,
because her dad was the same way towards her.
And it was like I was able to understand her
a little bit more,
I was able to understand this one concept
complete transformed my life:
people are always doing the best they can
with what they've got:
they're doing the best they can
from the vibration they're at;
they're doing the best they can
from the level of consciousness they're at.
And that was a game-changer for me
because somehow my ex-stepmom rationalized beating
and controlling my brother and I,
she rationalized it, how did she rationalize it?
Well, that's how she was treated growing up.
Didn't make it right.
I was like, "Oh, great."
And in a way, I was grateful that it happened
because if that stuff didn't happen,
I wouldn't maybe be making videos,
and trying to help people, and sharing my story,
so, it was a very positive thing.
But at the time when I was living in those patterns,
and my manager was there,
that was just like my ex-stepmom, it was a lot of pain,
but what I did is I ended up forgiving my ex-stepmom.
I forgave her back in 2012 when I was working that job.
And after I forgave her,
I completed the past,
there was so much energy that left my body.
I was able to see that the energy
that I was connected to was keeping it alive in my life,
and I became aware of the story:
I had a story that said I'm unworthy:
I had a story
that said that women always try to control me;
I had a story that said that I have to fight for my freedom.
I became aware of the stories:
I forgave my ex-stepmom.
And that manager,
within two weeks of learning this meditation
and learning how to forgive,
learning this completion process
that I ended up completing the past with,
guess what happened?
The manager got fired.
She got fired for something not stupid,
I think she got fired for saying something
to somebody that was pregnant or something like that,
she said something she wasn't supposed to say
to someone that was pregnant and she got fired.
And it was a whole new world:
we had all this freedom.
It felt so weird when she left,
and it felt so weird
when my ex-stepmom left my life when I was 15,
it felt like there was something missing in a weird way,
what really was missing is I don't have someone toxic
that's controlling me.
And then what happened is I forgave,
that energy left my life,
and then, from there,
there were a couple more times that I had the opportunity
where something would come into my life
of someone trying to control, or angry,
or a manager like that,
and that happened actually.
Then, another manager came in after that manager
that was still controlling,
and also
it was a gay guy that was attracted to me,
so he was like, it was a whole other thing,
and what he would do is he would be really nice to me,
and he would flirt with me all the time,
'cause I'm not gay,
so, I'm like, "Dude, you need to stop doing this,
this is getting very uncomfortable and we keep doing it."
And he was super nice to me,
and giving me the schedule I want, all this stuff,
and then, eventually, it got uncomfortable,
and I was like, "Dude, you need to stop."
And then, he got angry, he felt rejected,
and he started turning on me in this really weird way
just because I wouldn't entertain that or never did.
All of a sudden, then,
I ended up just quitting,
I just quit,
I also thought we were gonna ascend
into a higher level of consciousness at the time
because I became ungrounded
into these whole spiritual concepts,
but I ended up leaving.
And you know what's funny too
I remember all the 13 people I worked with,
with that old manager that was super controlling and toxic,
we just allowed that to happen in a certain way,
where I remember, at one point,
they hired this guy named Roland,
she tried talking down to him
the way she talked down to all of us,
and he was a new employee,
and he literally looked at her and was like,
"You don't talk to me like that.
This is bullshit."
And he walked out: he quit.
Why?
'Cause, he doesn't allow people to talk to him like that.
He's like, "I don't care if I had this commission job
getting paid a certain amount."
He's like, "I'm out."
And he dipped out.
Because it was outside of the way he agrees to be treated.
And then,
all of us at the department probably just agreed to it,
and we just made it a part of our lives.
But completing the past
will change your life more than anything else,
completing the past by:
becoming aware of the patterns;
becoming aware of the stories;
and then, making the choice to forgive,
forgive yourself,
forgive, let it go.
Breathwork can be a very powerful way
of also transforming this energy and releasing it,
because when you release that energy:
it's a whole new world.
So, meditation, completing the past,
another aspect of this, though,
is it's following your passion:
following your passion that's connected to your heart.
And this is what
you're maybe meant to be doing in your life,
I think we could have many passions in our life,
but in general,
when I started making videos every single day on YouTube,
I became so excited it changed my vibration so much.
And it was years later after that stuff from 2012:
then, I became ungrounded,
went through this whole like,
we're gonna ascend into a higher consciousness phase,
ostracized myself from all my friends and my family,
everyone thought I was nuts;
and then, I went meditating, and reading books and shit,
and then, I did that for years;
and then, I worked at Barneys New York and Women Shoes,
and I worked there for five years.
And then, I realized what if I just start applying
these concepts towards my life
and actually started being
the full-time YouTuber version of me
that I knew I wanted to be:
I started making daily videos on YouTube;
I started being it every single day no matter what,
even while I had a nine-to-five job.
And within six months my whole entire life transformed,
and I felt passionate,
I loved what I was doing,
I was getting up every day,
I remember, at one point,
my peak, I was making three YouTube videos a day,
and I did that for 30 days,
and I was 90 videos ahead on YouTube.
Imagine I made a video every single day,
and for 90 days I had my whole calendar
just completely booked out with all these videos,
and it was crazy.
And it was like, I just got so far ahead,
then once I quit my job,
I had all this time,
I'm like three videos a day
would take me an hour-and-a-half to make,
you're telling me I can work an hour-and-a-half a day,
be 90 days ahead on content,
and just do what I love, coach people,
that's when I learned how to coach,
and I had some coaching clients,
it was just so much fun,
and that's when I started making courses
and stuff like that.
But when I started following my passion,
it completely revolutionized my life:
that's when new opportunities came in;
that's when I had the opportunity to go to Costa Rica
and drink plant medicine like I was telling you about
and all these new opportunities;
that's when my soul family started coming to my life;
that's when I met Victor.
Everything in my life changed
when I started following my passion.
I think because your passion
is one of the highest-frequency things and ways of being,
and when you're following your passion,
you experience a reality
that is equal to that high-energy state.
So if there's three things I could share that,
I believe, will change your life more than anything else:
it's one, meditation,
it'll completely transform your life
if you do it consistently,
every single day, become aware of your thoughts,
it's scientifically proven to work,
I mean, within my own life,
it changed my life more than anything else,
is connecting to myself;
there's also something I call the Frame Technique,
it's where
you bring the energy back into your body,
you feel into your hands and your feet,
and you actually feel the separation
between you and your environment,
and when you feel the separation,
the space in between me and this tree right here,
me and this camera right here,
as I focus on the space,
it's like I'm able to, actually, feel safe in my own body,
and the Frame Technique is one of the most powerful
embodiment techniques I've ever shared;
and something as well if you haven't seen or checked out
that of the MAP yet,
the MAP is the magnetic activation process,
it's a way of magnetizing raising your vibration permanently
without falling back into old patterns.
If you wanna learn more about the MAP,
you can go to aarondoughty.com/map, M-A-P,
and it's a free video that shows you step by step
how to raise your vibration to a new level,
it's a PDF of the video,
it's a course video that explains to you
exactly how to go through the MAP process
to become the most magnetic version of you.
And for this, in general,
realize that your vibration is,
you get in life for a dark reflection of what your vibe is
and the things that will shift your vibe
more than anything else:
it's following your passion;
letting go of the stories that are holding you back,
becoming aware of them, letting 'em go;
letting go of the attachments that you have;
bringing the awareness into your body.
These things will transform your life
more than anything else,
and there's a lot of things we hold onto
that when you let go of it raises you
to a completely new level.
And one of my most popular videos is five things
that if you let go of will completely transform your life
and raise your vibration instantly.
Check this video out right here
and watch how much your life changes.
When you let go of these things I'll be talking about,
your vibration will instantly begin to raise.
Now, I'm in Sedona, Arizona right now,
and I thought that I would film it with you guys
before I get my day going.
And right now, I'm close to the hotel,
which has this stream that's close.
