    100: Rewire Your Mind in Minutes: Jewish NLP for Rapid Change | Sagi Chekroun

    What if change didn’t take years, but minutes? In this episode, Sagi Chekroun shares how Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) can help you create rapid, lasting transformation by working directly with the unconscious mind—the true driver of your habits, emotions, and results. Most people try to change through willpower, discipline, or information. But real change doesn’t happen at the surface—it happens beneath it. When you understand how your mind actually stores patterns, you can begin to shift them faster than you thought possible. We break down why change often feels difficult, and challenge the belief that transformation has to be slow. You’ve already created habits, fears, and emotional patterns instantly. The same mechanism can be used to rewire them. One of the most powerful ideas discussed is secondary gain—the hidden benefit behind every habit. Whether it’s stress relief, comfort, or a sense of control, your mind holds onto patterns because they serve you in some way. If you try to eliminate a habit without replacing what it gives you, it often comes back in another form. Real change comes from upgrading the benefit, not fighting the behavior. We also explore the mindset shift of “10X is easier than 2X”—why aiming for bigger transformation can actually be simpler than incremental change, because it forces you to think differently and step into a new identity. From there, we get practical. You’ll learn simple NLP tools you can start using immediately: How to “scramble” negative memories by changing how they’re stored (visual, auditory, and physical components)How to use dissociation to safely process intense experiences without reliving themHow to create a mental “control panel” to interact with your inner worldHow to build anchors—physical triggers that instantly shift your emotional stateHe also guides me through a powerful 3-minute future pacing exercise. This practice helps you step into your future self—seeing through their eyes, feeling their emotions, and allowing your mind to begin wiring in the path to get there. Instead of chasing a goal, you begin to embody it. A key theme throughout the episode is that less is more. You don’t need long, complicated routines. Short, consistent practices—just a few minutes a day—can create real, lasting change when done correctly. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, wants to break patterns, or is looking for a more aligned, effective way to grow—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Resources mentioned include Richard Bandler, Paul McKenna, and Jose Silva, along with additional NLP tools and teachings. Take 3 minutes today to try it yourself:Visualize your life one year from now. Step into that version of you. Feel it fully. Then ask: Who do I need to become to live this? Because real change doesn’t come from forcing yourself forward. It comes from becoming someone new.

    98: Journey to Oneness: Merging Torah, Chassidus, and New-Age Spiritual Teachings | Moshe Gersht

    Topics of Discussion Background and what led to where he is now Religious Growth and affiliation, Chabad Learning Torah but far from Truth Learning Chassidus and going to therapy Finding the right therapist Jewish Chassidic teachings and New-age Spiritual thought leaders Day job Torah, side hustle Spiritual self-help When he knew it was time to do more than studying in yeshiva Letting go of fear Do all spiritual paths lead to the same end-goal? Does it mean I can choose a different place and get to the same place? As far as spirit is concerned, G-d is found in all places. So everywhere is the path to G-d. Torah is not about this is the only way to find an enlightened perspective because it can be found in many places. What is the uniqueness of Torah? Judaism begins where Buddhism leaves off Believing in the Mount Sinai experience of receiving the Torah Other practices may have some filter keeping someone from the Unified Truth - Ohr Ein Sof His deepest spiritual experiences were in Torah The Oneness is available to everyone and for everyone If you’re looking for relaxation or co-create and manifest things there are modalities. But if you’re looking to return to Self, that’s the placeless The goal of all is to reach Source consciousness and then internalize it and reflect It in this world The path to G-d is for everybody, but Torah is not necessarily for everybody “Your incarnation is the blueprint for your liberation” - Ram Das. Why Ram Das didn’t find enlightenment in Judaism. He said no one put Kabbalah and Chassidus in front of him You don’t need to look somewhere else to find the enlightenment space Your life is not a mistake. Everything that led to where you are now is for a higher purpose The Lubavitcher Rebbe’s push for mivtzoim (helping a fellow Jew with Mitzvahs). Putting on tefillin is water for your thirsty soul One mitzvah. One thing at a time. The Hebrew month of Elul and Tishrei "It’s all the same to Me" "The Three Conditions" G-d is not found in the noise If you really want to know G-d you have to come to know yourself. How? Do one of three things: meditate, get outside of a world-view of taking and give instead, change your priority of doing to just being - quiet, service, being
