    Isaiah Deshon: Detroit's Tony Robbins. Mastering State Control & Manifestation

    In this episode of AWAKEN with Ryan DeJonghe, Ryan sits down with Isaiah Deshon, a hypnotherapist and mindset coach who is redefining what it means to lead by intuition. After years of traditional talk therapy failed to provide the necessary tools for his own ADHD, PTSD, and bipolar diagnoses, Isaiah turned to hypnosis to "reprogram" his own mind—clearing his symptoms in record time. Isaiah shares his journey from growing up in the hood to mastering conversational hypnosis and memory reconsolidation to help high-performing business clients overcome self-sabotage and imposter syndrome. The conversation dives deep into the mechanics of manifestation, the hypnotic nature of modern church services, and why representation in the hypnosis community is vital for reaching marginalized populations. Whether you are looking to understand the science of state control or want to learn how to manifest your reality without the trap of cognitive dissonance, this episode offers a raw and metaphysical look at the power within. Key Takeaways & Meaningful Quotes "I wish someone could just, like, hypnotize me and, like, take all the things out and put the right things in... I jumped into certifications and whatnot, and learned it for myself, pretty much, and was able to clear pretty much all of my own problems." — (00:01:32)"I’m fearless, but I still have a human nervous system that feels nervous sometimes, and it's just about allowing that and then being able to control your state after that." — (00:21:00)"My belief is that all of reality is just God vibrating in and out of existence really quickly... If all of reality is just God blinking in and out of existence, then there's infinite possibilities, because God is infinite." — (00:29:00)How to Connect and Work with Us Connect with Isaiah Deshon: Isaiah works primarily with business owners to clear mindset blockages and also offers support to those in need within his community.

    Novelty, Neurology, and the Art of Modern Mesmerism with Rowan Ramsay

    In this episode of AWAKEN, Ryan DeJonghe is joined by Rowan Ramsay to explore the fascinating intersection of neuroscience and the ancient roots of Mesmerism. Rowan breaks down how "animal magnetism" translates into modern neurological terms, moving away from "woo-woo" myths and into the rigorous world of neuroplasticity and Novel States. They discuss how the energetic presence and non-verbal cues found in Mesmerism can trigger immediate, profound shifts by forcing the brain out of its habitual patterns and into a state of peak receptivity. Key Discussion Points The Modern Mesmerist: Rowan explains how he integrates principles of Mesmerism—focusing on energy, intent, and non-verbal communication—to bypass the conscious mind and influence the nervous system directly. Novelty as a Catalyst: Discover why the brain requires a "novel state" to break the cycle of habitual behavior, and how Mesmerism provides the ultimate "unusual" experience to open the window for new learning. Neurological Safety & Magnetism: Learn how Rowan utilizes the concept of "animal magnetism" to soothe the client's threat-detection systems, creating a deep sense of safety that allows for radical transformation. From Theory to Application: Rowan discusses his background in improvisation and how the Mesmerist’s ability to "stay in the flow" allows them to respond to the client’s subconscious offers in real-time. The Science of "The Shift": An exploration of what actually occurs in the brain during a Mesmeric breakthrough, focusing on the release of old neural loops and the integration of the whole mind. Memorable Quotes "Mesmerism isn't just about the history of hypnosis; it's about the physics of human connection and the energy that drives change." "When we introduce a truly novel, Mesmeric state, the brain has no choice but to pay attention and reorganize itself." Special Segment: Hypnotic Gift Stay tuned until the end for a special hypnotic gift from Rowan Ramsay.
