This is a transcript of the conversation between myself, Brandi Fleck, Host of the Human Amplified podcast and Daoist healer, Sifu Boggie, where he reveals how energy, consciousness, and movement can reconnect you to your true nature and transform your well-being.

What if your body is just a glove—and your true self is something far more expansive?

In this illuminating conversation, Daoist guide and self-healing practitioner Sifu Boggie invites us to rethink what it means to be human. Drawing from over 40 years of experience in energy medicine, martial and meditative arts, and ancient Daoist philosophy, he blends the mystical with the scientific—bridging concepts like qi (life force), consciousness, and quantum fields.

Whether you're an experienced energy worker or simply curious about how to reconnect with your natural flow, this episode offers accessible insights into how we’re all part of something much larger than we’ve been taught.

We explore the subtle push and pull of energy, the role of consciousness in healing, and how tuning into your own energy body can shift your reality—no fancy tools required.

If you've ever felt like there’s more to you than what meets the eye… you're right. And you're not alone.

Meet Sifu Boggie: Daoist Healer, Teacher, and Energy Guide

Brandi Fleck:

What does being human mean to you?

Sifu Boggie:

I think that's an interesting one because I think we get caught up in being human and we forget that we're so much more. We are consciousness, we are energy, we are something else. and this being human is just a club. It's like saying, Earth. On planet Earth, we think, oh, it's everything. But it's a tiny dot spinning around a ball of gas with billions of other balls of gas in the galaxy, billions of galaxies in the Universe. So there's so much more, and we're focusing on one thing.

Brandi Fleck:

Wonderful. I love that. Thank you.

Everyone, today, we are talking to Sifu Boggie, also known as Paul Brighton. He's coming to us from Lincolnshire, England. Sifu Boggie is a Daoist guide, mentor, and self-healing practitioner with over 40 years of experience in Daoism and Qigong. Trained by renowned Daoist masters, he specializes in Qigong, Tai Chi, Shun Dao philosophy, and other healing modalities.

He's also a barefoot doctor, Daoist shaman, and teacher of Eastern Reiki, Chinese Reiki reflexology, Tui Na, Titar, which is back correction, acupressure, and shun-dao massage. Sifu Boggie’s teachings blend Daoist philosophy with practical energy work and bodywork techniques offering transformative pathways for physical, emotional, and energetic healing.

And on today's show, we'll be talking about energy work for the everyday person. You don't necessarily have to be a practitioner to work with energy. We'll also be talking about how consciousness fits in and making sure you stay connected to the natural flow of universal energy. Of course, we'll let it flow so if something else comes up, that's because it was meant to. So I am looking forward to seeing what Sifu has to say.

So before we jump in, what else do you want listeners to know about you?

Sifu Boggie:

Well, very much. So the word Sifu means guide on use. In Google Translate, it will say master of martial arts. But lots of words all have more than one meaning, lots of things. And it's more like Bruce Lee once said, it's like a finger pointing towards the moon. Do not look at the finger because you'll miss all that heavenly glory.

So as a teacher, I'm here to help you and put you along your way. But I'm not going to tell you exactly what to do. You know, you can do the stuff I do—I've got probably a thousand Qigongs under my belt, so I've got different techniques for different ailments and injuries, but ultimately, they’re your symptoms so it's up to you.

Brandi Fleck:

So okay, where does “Boggie” come from?

Sifu Boggie:

So in the Chinese martial arts, they tend to—well, it's not just martial arts—they call it martial arts, but martial is practice and art is the flowing nature of it. So it's the fighting arts, the three M's they call it: the martial, the medical, and the meditational. So the martial side, which is the fighting and fitness, the medical side, which is self-healing for self and others, and then there's the meditational side or consciousness side, spirituality and consciousness.

And Ba-Gi, which is how it originally was said, is sort of like the Tai Chi symbol.

There's me trying to look for one. And the Tai Chi symbol is the little white and black thing. And a lot of people call it yin yang. But it's actually the two energies coming together. And it represents 10,000 things. It represents everything.

So Boggie is this idea of chaos. From all these 10,000 ideas, I can narrow it down to a few. I can bring it to the balance so that the name is given to me as a sort of what I am. I can be very calm and then very erratic, but also of my purpose, which is I learn a thousand things so you can learn free.

Why Ancient Energy Practices Still Matter Today

Brandi Fleck:

Wonderful. Well, thanks for explaining that. And I know you have so many practices that you do, and most of these, if not all of them, are ancient practices. So why is it important and helpful to incorporate these ancient practices into modern life?

Sifu Boggie:

I think the interesting thing is that if anything, it's almost a reverse, but there's one thing I love. I love quantum physics and epigenetics.

Quantum physics is all about the particles and energy and epigenetics is the understanding that the way you think and feel affects your physical health.

So if you're happy and excited, your cells will actually start to energize and they were supercharged. If you’re scared and frightened and angry, they'll start to break down and the interesting thing with the ancient knowledge is that if anything, epigenetics and quantum physics have literally proven the ancient knowledge to be factored that one actually is coming together and it's actually acknowledging the other so the idea of like the ancient knowledge is actually as relevant now as it was a hundred, two hundred, a thousand years ago.

It's just like it may be packaged slightly differently—it's like we're still people wearing clothes. The clothes we wear now are different to the clothes we wore a thousand years ago and the vehicles that we use or the way we communicate may have changed slightly but we're still doing the same things.

So it's just about ancient knowledge that can be brought into modern times.

Brandi Fleck:

Yeah. Can you give us an example of that ancient knowledge interacting with a modern time?

Sifu Boggie:

There's a few, but I mean, but like for example, so epigenetics itself is science-based about how the body works and how the way we think and feel literally can improve our health and change our health.

And even the fact that the placebo effect, so the sugar tablet, if you believe that what you're taking is real, it actually will affect your physical body. And what they found within the epigenetics, that the styles of energy exercise, breath work, Qigong and Tai Chi—these were actually making you feel good, which therefore if they make you feel good, they were actually enhancing your health.

And so there's another one where what the ancient cultures were talking about were the star, the sun, and they were saying it's a stargate. And that there is a dark portal inside the star itself. And there are many stars within us that are the same.

Now, it's not fully known yet, but there's a physicist called Nassim Haramein that has evidence that shows that the sun, that there's more and more evidence showing that there's actually a black hole in the center of the sun.

And we're thinking, oh, we're sort of told that suns collapse and create black holes. But the evidence he's showing is that it's actually the other way around.

Is that, you know, we see the light of the sun, but behind that or inside that, there's actually a doorway, a black hole, or whatever you see it as. But he's now going into deeper information, which shows that our atoms themselves have black holes in the center of it.

So not only is there a possible doorway or portal or wormhole, black hole, in our own star, and then every star is the same, but also we could have micro black holes within us, within our own atoms, and this is what the ancient knowledge talks about—the ancient knowledge talks about that we are—it even refers in doubts and they refer to the body as being a galaxy, you know, a star—a whole solar system itself, and within that solar system there are different things that equalize each other and affect each job.

Understanding Life Force Energy: Qi, The Force, and You

Brandi Fleck:

Yeah, that is so wild to think about how, you know, as above, so below, macro, micro. It's all very interesting.

And so also, for someone who's not an energy healer, and who's not versed in these ancient healing practices, what do they need to know about life force energy? And is it related to any of what we had just been talking about?

Sifu Boggie:

Yes. So again, it was Nassim Haramein and other physicists that have found out that it's a cup full of space.

Daoist teacher pointing to the potential energy in a coffee mug.

If you filled that—well, inside there there's energy, there's atoms, there's nothingness, there's energy. And inside that, a cup of space has enough energy to evaporate all the oceans on the planet.

So if there's enough energy in that cup to do that, how much energy is there in you?

How much potential energy is there in your entire body?

And we'll go into something I'll talk about in a bit, but the whole thing is that we're far more interconnected than, you know, life force.

Well, ironically, The Force, George Lucas—he actually based the understanding of The Force and the light and the dark side on Daoist philosophy, Daoism and Buddhism. And it was actually talking about, now I've found one…

Daoist master demonstrating what a yin yang symbol looks like

So this what most people call the yin yang symbol. It's actually known as the Tai Chi symbol because it connects the yin and the yang together and that's another way of saying night going into day and day going into night. But the light and the dark side of The Force is all energy. It's like the head or the tail or the coin you know—everything's all interconnected and we see it as separate because we're just using a certain lens— we're only looking at it a certain way—but the further back you go or the smaller you go—whichever way you go—you can also go bigger and bigger.

When you look out the bigger picture, you actually see the interconnectedness, you see how things are connecting. And when you go smaller the smaller you see actually there's no what they think as space is no space at all. I'll get to that in a second.

Brandi Fleck:

Okay.

Yeah. And so when I was putting your interview together, I just kept feeling prompted to ask you about pushing and pulling energy. And there was no context around it, but I was like, okay, I just have to ask about it. So what does that bring up for you?

Sifu Boggie:

So it goes back to this symbol. It goes back to like the yin and the yang. And like the in-breath and the out-breath.

How to Feel and Work with Your Own Energy (Even if You're Not a Healer)

So the thing is like, so we see energy as something mysterious. We always, especially in the West, we've made it very mysterious and very, oh, woo woo. But quantum physics talks about energy all the time.

Energy is matter. It's like, you know, people are, oh, I don't ever believe in energy. Do you believe in an atom?

You can't see it. Science tells you exists. Do you believe in the milky way? You can't see it necessarily but they say…

So the thing is is that we have to use certain eyes or certain perspective to see certain things, but the body is designed in the way that what you can't see you can feel, and this whole idea of of pushing and pulling is like bringing your hands together rubbing gently for a couple of breaths and then breathing in letting the arms expand and breathing out and pulling them in. And after a while you're feeling something. As Daoists we tend to not put words in your head. We let you sort of say what you're feeling, but the whole idea is is that there is something pushing and pulling against itself.

We actually know through using certain cameras there's fields of energy here. We we even know the fascia, which is like a sheath in between your muscles and your your skin—that fascia which looks a little bit like an orange peel—that actually when when it's been looked at when something is dead it just looks like tissue.

But when they've actually looked at people who are alive, that fascia actually has light passing through it. So there is literally light radiating through your body.

An Exercise to Start Seeing Your Own Energy

Therefore when…you gently put your arms past your body or are in dusk or in a slightly lit room and you just glide straight ahead and let your eyes relax and just glide your hands across and keep doing it, after a while you'll see like little ripples and you'll see the light that is within.

Because your eyes have different settings and when you relax your eyes you actually activate a different setting within your eyes but we have this focus that's in 10% of our eye, the cones, and then the rods are the other 80% of the eye. And we're picking up so much information, but we tend to ignore it. We tend not to realize it's valuable information.

So the pushing and pulling, you can do this, play with your own energy by bringing your hands across.

And then there is a technique in Chinese Reiki, especially in Chinese Reiki, shun, shi, shen, flowing spirit. And they will literally pull out shards, so negative chi, or what you no longer need, out of the body. And you can do this, so breathe in and then flick it off. And people have often said when I'm doing this technique they don't realize I'm doing it, they said that it feels like you're pulling something from me, and because we're so used to thinking this [our physical body] is all we are, what we don't realize and in physics we have to know our consciousness is not in here [pointing at body]. It's outside.

Consciousness and the Human Body: A Daoist Perspective

Consciousness comes into our body and therefore we're an energy on the outside coming in, and we can actually feel and sense that to a certain degree.

You open up your perception, and the more that you open up what is possible, the more you actually see what is possible.

Brandi Fleck:

Okay. So I'm hearing you say that if you practice and you do certain things, that you'll be able to see the energy. But even if you can't see it, you can feel it in certain ways just by focusing on trying to feel it.

Sifu Boggie:

Yeah, because the thing is, again, only through studying, the more you learn, the more you study, the more you learn, the more you learn, the more you grow, the more you grow, the more you know.

And what we've learned is that there are three minds. We have this one up here [pointing at head], but our hearts actually contain brain cells.

And so our heart is also a mind, as well as there are brain cells in our guts.

But our heart actually creates a bioelectric magnetic field which when they've looked on cameras it actually looks like a donut. So that field is created and our hearts are very much a feeling tool we sense, we feel and it's funny how we've been very much told to only focus on what's real and focus on your thoughts not your feelings, but your feelings are an extension of your body. Your feelings—you can feel stuff not just with your hands but you can feel it with your own energy and it's an interesting concept because:

“Oh I don't believe in that.”

What the Placebo Effect Will Really Teach You

Well placebo effect will teach you that what you focus on becomes a reality.

So if you believe that sugar pill is the real deal and you've got a headache and you take it and you believe it's the real thing, it will clear your head off. And we know through placebo, we know that over 80% of people who have had placebos and they do placebos all the time in medical studies, 80% of our people have had a small to a great percentage of success with the placebo.

So what you focus on, you make real. What you focus on, in Daoism they say, where ye goes, she flows. So where intent goes, your energy flows. So the more you focus on something, the more you allow yourself to feel something, the more that will happen.

The Natural Push and Pull of Energy

Brandi Fleck:

Okay. and the push and pull comes in when—well like you mentioned the inhale and the exhale but is the push and pull just sort of the natural state of energy.

Sifu Boggie:

Yeah well you think of a magnet and you know in essence if you want to go by science is that our bodies are actually electrical magnetic you know is that our heart is actually seen—when they've actually unwrapped the heart is more like a coil. It actually is a whole like one piece organ that's actually wrapped together and when they've actually taken it apart is actually creating an energy, so energy goes in and energy goes out. So your heart It's an electric and magnetic field, which is very much like the magnetic north and south, the plus and the minus, the negative and the positive. So these two energies play with each other.

So within the concept of Daoism, you have the divine masculine, the divine feminine, and there's a third.

And so the divine masculine would be seen as the positive energy of sorts, the divine and feminine, the negative energy of sorts. But we're not talking about good and bad. We're talking about one energy to another.

And whether you're male, female, banana or goat, you have this positive and negative energy. You have the masculine qualities. So you're getting things done. You're acting inside of you. We have the feminine qualities, which is the nurturing, the feeling.

But there's a third, and that third is the sacred child. And the third would be you've got the positive and the negative and when you play it together, you get that push-in-pull effect. So it's the play of the energy. So it's the trinity, the positive energy, the negative energy, or the call, the push, and the play of those two together.

The Role of Religion in Energy and Consciousness

Brandi Fleck:

Wow. Okay. Okay. And when you say Trinity, of course, I think about Christianity.

What do you think about that?

Sifu Boggie:

Well, see, what we have to remember is that religions are aspects of knowledge, that, you know, what they are is us perceiving things in a certain way, and we translate that information.

Now, there are pictures and documents showing that [prayer hands, also known as Anjali Mudra] is over 10,000 years old or older, so it's not Christian, it's not Buddhist, it's not Daoist.

Daoist guide placing hands together in an upward position as if praying

This has existed for a long time, but we see it in a certain aspect.

When you go into the Trinity, you'll find the Trinity within the Muslim faith, within Daoism, within Buddhism that actually again exists and the the thing is is like well in the Dao's concept there is no good or bad there just is.

And so religions are great because they are an aspect of information and it's giving you a way to look at things and to to see. The difference is that when you look at the bigger picture you don't see these things as separate or opposing. They're actually all interconnected.

So, you know, don't see what you've learned as the be all and end all, but it's definitely what you learn at the beginning. And the more you actually expand, the more you add to this, the more you grow.

The one thing I did as a profession for almost 20 years, and that part of my training, I had to learn, I did religious studies because going to different parts of the world, certain cultures, their beliefs. Their beliefs are fundamental to the way they think and act. So that's why I did religious studies. But one thing I also learned from it is that when you go to the core belief of all these systems, they're all saying the same thing. They're all interconnected. They're all interconnected.

What makes them different is that other things are being added on top or when human involvement gets on top.

They say, oh, this is better than that, and this is this, and this is that. And it's an interesting thing is when you look at the bigger picture is that if things are trying to say, oh, this system or these people, these are wrong.

It's like what you want to do is where you are in the world and it's where you are but if we're all human, which we are, we're all on this planet, then we're all one we're all interconnected, and ultimately that's where we are all part of the same thing and how you see it is important but also allowing yourself to let go of certain beliefs or at least things, seeping from the big picture to see can you add to this. Can you enhance that information?

What is Consciousness?

Brandi Fleck:

Yeah, okay. That makes a lot of sense. And just for our listeners' sake, who maybe aren't watching on YouTube, when Sifu Boggie said, this is like ancient, 10,000 years old, he was making praying hands. So that's not necessarily related just to one religion. And earlier when you were talking, you had mentioned that consciousness comes into our body. So I am curious, is consciousness the same thing as energy, or how is it related?

Sifu Boggie:

Again, you know, it's like listening to certain people or looking for information. The more different types of information you gather, the more you know.

Nicola Tesla…Einstein was made famous, or one of his famous sayings is:

Is that energy can't be destroyed. It can only be transformed or transferred.

He was actually saying his version of what Nikola Tesla originally said, which is everything in the Universe is energy. But what he was experiencing is that everything is conscious energy. And as energy is consciousness, or energy is consciousness, it cannot be destroyed, it can only be transformed or transferred.

Now in 1974 when they looked at the atom, quantum physicists looked at the atom, (and I may be a couple of nines out, but) you have 0.9999% of the atom is empty space. And they wanted to study, is it actually empty space? And when they looked at it, they actually realized that it's not actually empty, it's actually a substance, it's a field.

They call it a quantum field.

So every atom is connected to every other atom through the field. Now we can, therefore, you could call it The Force, you could call it chi, The Force, as I said. George Lucas literally based Star Wars on Daoist philosophy and British philosophy as well. But everything is connected to everything else. And science is actually stating that, is that actually everything is connected.

And the idea of consciousness, well, if we know that there are scientists that have done experiments on atoms, and they said that the atoms appear to have some form of consciousness.

So if our atoms have some form of consciousness, we are conscious.

So you have, it's almost like, you know, many people being on a bus. You've got all these different consciousnesses all together.

Collective Consciousness Explained

Now, the interesting thing about groups is individuals think separately. But when we all come together, we start to think and move together. You notice it's more with animals. They all swarm together and they move as one. And there is this thing of collective consciousness that the more of us that come together, we start to act with a path or unity.

And so even within our own body, I think, yes, energy, you know, our thoughts and feelings, I think, have a consciousness.

[29:44] Energy is conscious, we are conscious, and it all interconnects and all interacts with each other.

Awareness as Part of Expanding Conciousness

Brandi Fleck:

Is consciousness an awareness, or is there more to it than that?

Sifu Boggie:

I think we are aware of sorts, but you can expand your awareness. And so I think consciousness and awareness is sort of the same thing in the essence of that it is you have different parts of you can be aware different parts of you can be conscious, but the more you open up to that more those different sides sort of intermingle. It's a bit like colors of a rainbow that you can sort of mix those colors together and they become more interconnected. I think the easiest way sort of how I've always seen it is like as a person you can do things in a certain way, but you bring two people together and you have them thinking the same way. They can act as one, but separate at the same time. So is that a consciousness or to be aware is to put your intention in a certain way. And if you expand your awareness, for me, you're expanding into more consciousness, if that makes sense.

Brandi Fleck:

Okay, yeah, it does. Consciousness is such, it seems like such a complex topic. If we're just asking, what is it? It seems like, okay, there's an awareness piece, there's an energy piece, there's a human piece, but not necessarily. How else would you define it? What other pieces?

Sifu Boggie:

There's a saying that when you put water into a cup, it becomes cup. When you put water into a teapot, it becomes a teapot. Water can go through the smallest of gaps and enough of it can break a dam. If you should be like anything, be like water, my friend.

And I think within Daoism, the Dao De Ching, which is sort of like a Daoist guidebook, it talks about the Dao is stateless, it's formless and it's forever expanding and I think that's what we are. We are individuals of consciousness and we're shapeless and formless and we can go to the size of the Universe or we can shrink down but then we're also interlaced with all these other versions because we're all together and we're both separate and connected at the same time. And the thing of this body, I think this body is just like a glove, that we're wearing this right now, and our consciousness is wearing this glove.

The interesting science, when they were looking at MRIs, is that they discovered that the commands for the body, or the thoughts that we were having, weren't on the inside, they were outside coming in.

So our soul or our consciousness was actually using this body to communicate to translate Information.

So that goes into well then what are we? Well I think we are formless, we are shapeless, we are like water.

Right now we can only see and feel this and we got so used to—there's one thing we know that what you believe becomes your reality.

Within psychology, we know that if a runner imagines going for a run and sets himself up for the run and in their head imagines everything they would do for a run and start running, their heartbeat increases. They start to sweat. Their body starts to react.

So in psychology, we know that our mind can't tell the difference between what we imagine and what is real.

And so if you've got so used to—you know, there have been times where a child has grown up with wolves and then acts and behaves like a wolf because that's all they know. And I think it's the same for us is that right now all we know is this form. And so that's all we can focus on. For me, what the Dao, what I teach, but look beyond that.

What are you? And, you know, can you feel beyond that? Can you sense beyond that? Can you use your other abilities? And it's that idea of being like a child when we were children. Our imaginations were immense. And we played and we, you know, we did different things. But as we became adults, we started to restrict ourselves more and more and think, oh, no, we can only do this and we can only do that.

And you know all our inventions—you know all the things around us they weren't created by people who believed they couldn't. They were created by people who believed, “how can I,” “how can I create this,” “how can I do that.” You know, light bulbs, energy cars, wheels—it was all created by people who stepped outside the box and looked at a bigger picture to create that thing. It wasn't created by people who limited themselves: “Oh no that's not possible, that's not feasible.”

Brandi Fleck:

I think one of the main things i'm taking from everything you just said is that consciousness is sort of like the fabric of existence and it's got limitless aspects of itself that can be experienced from different perspectives.

Sifu Boggie:

Yeah and and you are that. You know you are part of that. I've done things called remote viewing, which that's a whole wormhole on its own, but it's a whole concept—remote viewing is that everything is one and that nothing is outside of you. So if that is true, then even from your room, you can take your awareness and put it in another location.

Somewhere in the world or somewhere in the Universe, and you can see that information. Now remote viewing does it in the way of—like so you know we'd normally call that like actual projection or psychic projection—but remote viewing does it in the way of you don't know where you're going. All you're given is a number.

There's letters and numbers. It's like an address or a phone number or an email address. You're given the email address, and that's in—you don't even see it. It's actually in an envelope, and you're just focusing your awareness on that address that you can't see in the envelope and then it will take you to somewhere in the Universe.

So what it's showing—and this remote viewing—you have to look up remote viewing—it's been used in business. I know in the FT500, 100 index businesses that use remote viewing to find gold, diamonds, oil, so many different things.

It's been used in the spying trade. The CIA used it for 20 years, then said it doesn't work after 20 years of using it. That's telling you something.

But it's this concept that remote viewing boils down to, you are the Universe.

And therefore, if you are the Universe, you can go to anywhere in the Universe. And it does it in a way that proves you're not making it up.

You don't know what's on there. So anything you you come up with is is purely just through your own feelings and through your own consciousness. And then it's down to the observer who's with you that they will look at that information and say what they're seeing so that whole idea is that we are so much more than we think we are right now.

What is Remote Viewing? And Can Anyone Do It?

Brandi Fleck:

Do you mind if I ask you a little bit more about remote viewing like how you yeah how do you even begin to do it? I feel like you have to believe that you can.

Sifu Boggie:

Well, yes and no. The interesting thing with remote viewing—so remote viewing and one of the people who taught me—he was a hardcore skeptic he very much believed (his terminology)—if I can't slap it, if I can't hit it, it doesn't exist. So like you know, in essence, he believes in solid objects. He’s was martial artist well and it was that understanding. But what it does, it sort of disconnects your ego, your monkey mind. So your forebrain—we know we have 60 to 90,000 thoughts in the frontal lobe of our brain every single day.

And that very much keeps us in this reality. That can very much keep us—you know like, we're worrying about the bills, the past, the present. We're worrying about what we're going to have for dinner. And we're spending so much energy in the forebrain that we don't actually get to expand.

One of the techniques is to actually bring you back, pull you out of the forebrain and help you disconnect from that and allow you just to observe, just to feel what's beyond time and space. What's beyond, rather than just focusing on this here and now, just allow you to expand further.

So the whole deal of remote viewing is that, you just want to relax.

And quite a lot of them will use certain sounds, certain frequencies, and the whole idea is that it's what you're experiencing using the senses you have inside you. You'll just start to describe what this thing is, rather than like in projecting where you say, oh, I'm leaving the body, I'm shooting off into space, and I'm going to Mars.

Well, Mars and you are in the same place. Mars and you are in the same place. Everything is interconnected, and if everything is interconnected, that means Mars and here is actually one. And because it's all one, you don't have to travel there. It's already part of you.

The easiest way to explain it is have a piece of paper, have A on the paper and B on the paper, A on one end, B on the other, and you fold that paper in two and you connect the two points. So by folding reality in on itself, point A, which is on one side of the paper, and point B, which is on the other, become— and I'm back to putting two hands together—which is another indication—it becomes one, it becomes a unit.

Brandi Fleck:

Whoa! Okay. Okay. So with your mind, though, how do you bend reality so that you can be there?

Sifu Boggie:

As yoda said (which actually comes from a a British quote), don't try…it's a place of too often we say oh I try and it's too hard. Because you don't know where you're going and what you're doing, all you're focusing on is letting go, breathing, allowing yourself to expand.

Very much the Daoist version of remote viewing is I breathe in, I feel my body expand, I breathe out, I settle back down, and I keep doing that. Every time I expand, I just allow myself to get bigger and bigger and the energy to go further and further. My senses to go further and further and I just keep going on that. I just keep expanding myself, expanding my awareness. I don't focus on the “what am I focusing on?” I just allow myself to feel what I feel, see what I see, hear what I hear, and know what I know. So it's just more about just being that continuous expansion—coming back, expanding out, coming back and expanding out.

Brandi Fleck:

Wow, okay, so back to the push and pull even.

Sifu Boggie:

Definitely.

How Collective Energy Shapes Our World (And How to Shift It)

Brandi Fleck:

I'm trying to think of where to go from here. And what's sort of stirring is when we are so distracted by our humanness, we become disconnected from this being. And so, what happens when a critical mass of individuals, like, say, a whole country or half of the world, are disconnected from this Universal energy? What impact does that have on us?

Sifu Boggie:

Well, let's flip that.

So the FBI, in your wonderful country, the FBI did experiments back in the 80s and 90s where they got a group of meditators together, either yogis, Shaman practitioners, people who meditated. And they got them to focus on peace and love and expanding their energy. And what they found—they signed off with 20 or 30 and the amount of people slowly got bigger and bigger—and what they found that when they had a group of people in—the second to last experiment was in the capital of Washington. And they had I think it was 2,000 meditators focusing on peace and love for that weekend.

So they were just meditating and expanding their energy and focusing on peace and love. And the crime rate dropped by some say 20%, some say more than that. And it was a very impactful, there was no other reason for it, there was no police operations going on in the capital, but the crime rate dropped by around about 20%.

They did another experiment when they got 7,000 people worldwide to do the same thing. And then what happened over that two-day period, it actually increased up to 70% that the acts of crime and acts of terror worldwide dropped by 70%.

And this is an FBI case study.

So we know that when a small group of people come together and focus on positivity, things dramatically happen.

So allow yourself to think, well, if that happens when we're positive, what does happen when we're negative? What does happen when a whole —because we know in psychology that a group of people can come together, and where they would normally be very rational, they can be very irrational as a group.

And people can do very negative things and you'll hear a group of people in riots and whatnot, they'll say, I don't know what came over me. That's not normally what I'm like. But when we come as a collective and that energy or that intent is of a certain thing, it joins people together, it connects people and people as a group will act in a certain way. S

o we know what happens when we come together in a positive light. So take from that—so therefore we know when a group of people are coming together in a negative light, negative things can happen.

So we can change reality just by our intent, and then we come together that intensifies that that result.

Brandi Fleck:

That makes sense and so I'm thinking about the political climate in the United States right now and I feel like everybody's so disconnected. How do we reconnect? Even if we're not energy workers or, you know, into quantum physics or any of those things, how do we use these principles to shift what's happening for the better?

Sifu Boggie:

I think the biggest thing that we seem to miss is that we are creators. That everything in your life that's going on to a degree, whether the biggest thing you did was move into that location or be with a certain person, we created all of that. We are part of that.

So you know it is that we create the reality that we're in.

And if we can create one reality that means we can create another.

I think the biggest thing is that we've been we've allowed ourselves to believe that we can't change stuff but you can. You may only be able to change one little thing, but you can change, and if you change one thing you can repeat that over and over again and you can change many things.

I love the the story of the man walking on the beach and he sees on the beach that there are thousands of starfish on the beach and there's a little girl. She's picking up a starfish, she's saying something, and then she's putting it back in the water. The man goes over and says what are you doing and she says saving starfish and he says there's thousands of starfish you can't save them all and she picks up one and says I can save this one, and I can save this one, and I can save this one, and you know like a lot of people talk about a football field—an American football field is full of rubbish and it's like too much rubbish for one person. You can pick up one piece and keep doing that. And if other people help you, you will clear more and more.

And the whole idea is that when we say we can't do something, sorry, but we're actually saying we won't.

You know, we can do something. There is always something you can do. There is always things that you can change. And if you think you can't, it's only because you're looking at that narrow perspective.

I mean, the more people that actually help each other or come together and help each other…you know, one person can't lift a boulder, but 20 people could, 100 people definitely could.

So it's the whole idea of if we start coming together as a unity, we start helping each other rather than seeing each other's differences, if you actually look for each other's similarities and how, you know, the simple thing is help my neighbor, you know, do to others as you want to do to yourself. You know, you would want others to help you, help somebody else, you know, and then continue that and pass that forward.

Simple Tools for Healing Anxiety, Stress, and Emotional Stagnation

Brandi Fleck:

Wonderful. Well, Sifu, thank you so much for coming on the show today. And before we wrap up, I want to make sure—s there anything that we didn't talk about that you think is important to share?

Sifu Boggie:

One of the things I deal with a lot is people with stress and anxiety and pain.

Biggest thing in the Eastern philosophy is that dis-ease is stagnation. And stagnation comes from lack of movement. So when we're stiff—and whether we're talking physically, emotionally, or energetically—when we're stiff and rigid, everything starts to plug up; everything starts to block and break down.

So those who've seen me on the video or those who have ever seen me on Facebook or YouTube or wherever, I'm always moving about. Right now, I'm sitting on a yoga ball, rolling about.

And when you flow, when you—we talked about the divine feminine, the sacred child—when you allow yourself to play and move, you allow yourself to break up that stagnation that this is.

So by moving, by flowing, and same with your imagination—allow your imagination to play to expand and you will grow and you will flow—and then you breathe and you expand your belly, your diaphragm fully opens up and your body fills up with oxygen (Chi), and when you pull your belly in you exhale what you no longer need. So we call that belly breathing—breathing in, let the belly expand, breathing out, pull that belly in.

And when you let your body do the same, you start pulling and pushing. You expand and contract. You're actually becoming a dynamo. You're allowing the energy to flow.

And if things are getting a bit too stressful, try looking up.

Because one thing is known in psychology is when we look up the forebrain, the monkey mind—when we look up, we start to actually drain the fluids from the brain and bring it down the spine and down the body. So ooking up actually stops you focusing in monkey mind and actually allows you to come back to the fore, back to the middle of the brain, and back into the body. So it will take you out of all that worry and concern.

Brandi Fleck:

Awesome. That is such a wonderful takeaway for our listeners and viewers today. And if they want to find more of your work and what you do, where can they go?

Sifu Boggie:

I’m Sifu Boggie—you can find me on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, even LinkedIn. But I also have a mystery school, my own school where I mix the ancient knowledge with epigenetics and philosophy and also quantum physics. And it is called, and the link will be down below, but it's called shundao.uscreen.io.

And that is sort of like if Netflix and Facebook were to have a baby, it will sort of be my website with lots of videos, but it's also interactive. And you can actually ask a question or you want to know something. And the next task I do, I can actually focus on that thing you've asked and do an exercise or technique for that.

Brandi Fleck:

Awesome. Okay. Yes. and like Sifu said, the links will be in the show notes and [on YouTube]. So go check those out. And Sifu, thank you so much for coming on the show.

Sifu Boggie:

Thank you. Enjoyed it immensely.
