00:00:00.000Hello there you Awakening Wonders, it's Thursday and as yet Jesus Christ has not returned to Earth, but we need you Jesus!
00:00:07.000Come back, let us know in the chat and comments if our Lord Jesus has made himself clear, plain to you through some sort of apparition.
00:00:14.000Doesn't count if it's in toast, doesn't count if it's in the cloud, or an actual Jesus incarnate emanating light to change the world because we need it.
00:00:24.000Do them Trump documents show an intention to invade Iran?
00:00:28.000Is Rand Paul Ratcheting it up a little bit, Gal.
00:01:08.000If you're watching us on YouTube or Twitter or something so young and modern I ain't even heard of it yet, For all I know, you're watching this on Twitch.
00:01:18.000For all I know, you're extraterrestrial nation watching this in the future.
00:01:21.000You got it out when them pods people used to do.
00:02:01.000Because I think he's a good independent political voice.
00:02:04.000And if there's going to be change within the system, it's going to come from alliances, from people from the left and the right that are willing to challenge establishment authority.
00:02:14.000In terms of that alliance you just said then, there were moments a few weeks ago, a couple of months ago, where Rand Paul and him and Bernie Sanders were both interrogating the boss of Moderna.
00:02:24.000And he was like, oh look, working together.
00:02:26.000You're charging too much for your vaccines, they were saying, weren't they?
00:02:59.000And oh, by the way, Like once we like because I've got to tell these people my on-screen assistant my friend like you might be watching us on YouTube in a minute we're going to go and rumble because we told you during the pandemic that powerful political figures were not obeying their own rules and regulations and well now we know for an absolute fact that they weren't.
00:03:18.000While you were watching funerals on YouTube while you were missing the birth of your baby while you were losing jobs and losing your mind they were having the jingle bell mingle This is during Tier 3.
00:03:41.000You're prohibited from socialising with anybody you do not live with or have not formed a support bubble with, eurgh, support bubble, in any indoor setting, private gardens or at most hospitality venues.
00:03:53.000You are not going to believe this video that we're going to bring you when you see the powerful boogieing on down while you were locked up in your home.
00:04:01.000But there's no room for any systemic change.
00:04:29.000Right, here's Rand on Fox questioning Bill Gates and Fauci and their role as architects to the pandemic response and whether or not they benefited in ways other than, of course, Helping everyone, which is always their main motivation.
00:05:23.000Look, Bill Gates has been over there recently.
00:05:25.000Bill Gates is the largest funder of trying to find these viruses in remote caves and bring them to big cities.
00:05:32.000So what happened in China is they... A beautiful way of framing it.
00:05:35.000That's part of what gain-of-function research requires.
00:05:38.000Finding novel viruses that as yet haven't made an interspecial jump.
00:05:43.000Experimenting with them in order, supposedly, apparently, and most plainly and overtly, in order to create a vaccine for a disease that doesn't exist yet.
00:05:52.000Just if some stories are to be believed.
00:05:54.000I'm talking about Schellenberger's recent revelations on this show that the Wuhan Sorry, why did I call it the Wuhan virus?
00:06:02.000The coronavirus began in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which I think is in... China.
00:06:20.000And so, Fauci, of course, because under Barack Obama, gain-of-function research was banned in the United States, so they transferred it to a little old place, you might have heard of it, called Wuhan.
00:06:31.000And indeed, it seems that Bill Gates, and we can't prove this, and we've got to be careful about this, haven't we?
00:07:00.000For the first part of his life, it was all paperclips and windows, wasn't it?
00:07:03.000It was all about, he helped us in a much more mercantile and observably profitable way.
00:07:08.000Now, Bill Gates' help has moved in a much more diffuse Stay free with Russell Brand.
00:07:13.000helpful forms, mostly medicines. Stay free with Russell Brand. See it first on Rumble. If you become a member of

00:07:41.000You'll also get access to weekly meditations and a whole host of other valuable assets that bring you deeper into this community Because I believe that independent media has a role to play beyond conveying information.
00:07:53.000Let's face it, the mainstream media is curating information and creating propaganda.
00:07:58.000So independent media has to become a movement.
00:08:01.000We have to create an axis where spirituality, activism, personal and collective awakening,
00:08:09.000all alloy into a glorious new, I'm gonna say obelisk rather than phallus,
00:08:16.000And I'm very excited to meet one participant in that, in some ways very much a child of lockdown.
00:08:22.000It's Adrienne Mishler, better known as Yoga with Adrienne, which is an interesting name.
00:08:28.000But nevertheless, we aspire after Adrienne in so much as she has created an online community sharing hundreds of free videos with over 12 million.
00:08:36.000Is it 12 million YouTube subscribers worldwide?
00:08:39.000And if you've got a question for Adrienne, let me know in the chat.
00:09:04.000More that you came to prominence and popularity during the lockdown period because many people necessarily, understandably and wisely sought solace in yoga during that time.
00:09:16.000When you began your channel, how did you imagine it might go?
00:09:21.000What were your intentions and how do you deal with it now, now that it's become a very significant cultural movement?
00:09:28.000The funny thing is, we started the channel in 2012.
00:09:30.000I think a lot of people may not know that or realize that the channel is over 10 years old.
00:09:33.000He's like, "Oh, this is where I belong for this conversation."
00:09:37.000The funny thing is we started the channel in 2012.
00:09:40.000I think a lot of people may not know that or realize that the channel is over 10 years old.
00:09:46.000And I met my partner in the channel, Chris Sharp, on the movie set of a film that he had co-written
00:09:55.000And I was acting in, playing the role of Polly in a, Punk rock band of three women, naturally.
00:10:03.000And so we really enjoyed working together.
00:10:07.000And I was already devoted to being a yoga teacher and practicing yoga.
00:10:12.000I was a theater artist from a very young age.
00:10:15.000So it kind of started from the kind of passion project space that one has as a creative person.
00:10:24.000And I think that's the real blessing of the whole bit is if we had set out to start a business or a channel that reached millions, you know, it would have been tough because it's really hard to be yourself, believe it or not.
00:10:38.000So the fact that we were like low stakes, starting this as a passion project, hoping to make a little bit of extra money, maybe to make some movies, You know, that was the original intention.
00:10:50.000In 2015, we did the first 30-day yoga journey in January, and I think that's when things started to really pick up and we realized, wow, we can really help people here and make this more accessible.
00:11:01.000My assumption is that if you practice a lot of yoga, a lot of mindfulness, a lot of meditation, it cannot but change you.
00:11:09.000I don't see yoga as a sort of ancillary to the New Age movement that can sometimes seem, well, by its very nature, somewhat traditionless.
00:11:21.000I see it as a way to cultivate a different type of awareness.
00:11:26.000Conquering the constant caroming inner activity.
00:11:30.000The endless and nagging thoughts that sometimes won't leave me alone.
00:11:35.000And I was very curious to learn that since we last spoke, and I hope this is An unrelated subject, you've been recovering from panic and anxiety disorder.
00:11:46.000How can you have suffered from that when you are a yogi?
00:11:51.000Doesn't it sort of somehow protect you from that?
00:11:53.000Because I know a lot of people watching this right now We'll be suffering from anxiety.
00:12:02.000Let me know if you've suffered from anxiety disorders and panic and if yoga is one of the things that you guys are going to.
00:12:09.000So were you surprised and concerned and has it shaken your faith in the ability of yoga and comparable techniques to help you deal with those kind of things?
00:12:19.000Yes, I'm so glad you brought this up because for many, many moons, I was quiet about my experience with anxiety and panic because of the very thing you mentioned, because to me, it was so astonishing that me, yoga with Adrian, like this ridiculousness of how could I get so hard hit with nervous system breakdown?
00:12:44.000And all I can say is that I'm finally in a place where my nervous system can actually say, This is a serious subject for us to tend to our nervous system and to consider all the parts that that contribute to nervous system balance.
00:13:04.000That's like, you know, talking about the news, like the type of information we intake.
00:13:09.000But I think with the pandemic years of 2020 and 2021, Coupled with, admittedly, a personal share, doing a hormone therapy to freeze my eggs, you know, at my age.
00:13:23.000The combination of those things just tipped the boat for me.
00:13:28.000And we all have these moments where the boat tips, and that's when we need to remember that yoga practice is all about showing up with what is.
00:13:37.000I think we all wanted to show up and be helpers so much so in 2020, 2021, that I just kind of lost track of my own practice.
00:13:46.000And my body reminded me, um, we have to come back.
00:14:50.000Using this ancient practice to get back to the interior and remember that the roots of yoga, right, are deeply, deeply rooted in spirituality.
00:15:22.000It was a reminder from the divine of like what this practice is and what I can do to help communicate and share the depth of that, like what I can do to communicate that to more people moving forward, especially after the pandemic where so many of us came to it for mental health and physical well-being.
00:15:43.000Fascinating that you talk about access to the divine.
00:15:46.000If you're watching us now on Rumble, join us on Locals.
00:15:51.000That gives you the opportunity to join these chats live and also exclusively after we finish streaming on Rumble, we'll be on Locals and me and Yoga Not me and Yoga.
00:16:00.000Me and, yeah, well, me and Yoga, but me and Adrienne, aka Yoga with Adrienne, are going to do some yoga.
00:16:07.000You're going to talk us through some asanas, some positions, so you can join us for that.
00:16:13.000But that's only on local, so press the red button and join us there.
00:16:16.000I mean, why are you embarrassed about talking about divinity, Adrienne?
00:16:19.000Because isn't that the whole point of yoga, really, to get past the limitations of the individual mind and access the Latent, even unconscious forces that make up the whole of our psyche and give us, you know, when you come to a point where you're suffering from panic and anxiety, you need a different resource.
00:16:55.000I suppose I'm not embarrassed to talk about divinity.
00:16:58.000In fact, I feel what I'm really relaying, like, and I can hear myself now, and this is great for me as well, is that I'm being reminded of the divinity that's in this practice in a major way.
00:17:13.000I think what the, maybe not so much the embarrassment, but Just the awareness and attempt at humility of, you know, not wanting to just blatantly be like, and this experience reminded me, I'm, you know, I am the chosen one to communicate divinity through yoga to the people in this day and age.
00:17:32.000I didn't want to make that sort of statement, but I love that you asked me that because I think now is the time to stop being afraid of talking about the spirituality in the way I feel compelled to.
00:17:47.000For so many years, I wanted to make this practice, and I still continue to want to make this practice accessible, but I wanted it to be so inclusive, so easy to drop in for so many different types of people over the world, that I was very careful about the way I included the spirituality.
00:18:04.000And I think since 2020, 2021, I kind of, yeah, I'm like, no, this practice is deeply rooted in spirituality.
00:18:14.000It makes sense to come back to that and remind people of that.
00:18:18.000People need spirituality now because the material world and its institutions are beginning to fail people.
00:18:26.000I don't mean that nature is failing people, but it's become plain in the last few years that we're in some seismic shift.
00:18:35.000It's the end of a particular era, the birth of something new.
00:18:39.000I'm glad to hear you admit that you don't see yourself as the Lady Christ of online yoga, but there are a lot of comments here that seem to countenance a claim that you aren't willing to make, or rather support that claim.
00:19:34.000And then Zache says, nice, let's do some yoga together.
00:19:37.000I've suffered from a major depressive disorder, says CCS Ranch, and Adrian has helped me with that.
00:19:42.000Thanks all of you for those positive comments.
00:19:45.000Adrian, Has that, in stark contradiction to the principles of yoga and spirituality everywhere, made you feel a deep sense of vanity, narcissism and personal power?
00:20:14.000And it mostly, you know, this sounds so like cliche and like lip service, but it restores my faith.
00:20:20.000In so many ways to just hear people have that connection because you have to remember a lot of what a lot if not almost all of what I do I give away for free so people can pause it they can stop it they don't have to do it they don't have to take my crappy humor I mean Benji's cute so I'd log in for that any day but you know there's so many opportunities to do to do Something for yourself in this setting and the fact that anyone would choose to do it with me and that would they would finish and then they would come back when there's no money.
00:20:50.000There's no I'm not there like challenging people.
00:20:56.000To me, that's pretty heroic, and I think I mentioned this last time we we chatted like to me to be able to show up and do something with a beginning, middle and end for yourself without an audience, without anyone watching you, without giving any money in exchange.
00:21:53.000There's Bear will be joining us for yoga.
00:21:56.000So it'll be me, Adrienne, Benji and Bear.
00:21:59.000Join us on Locals in addition to yoga with Adrienne plus our canine accomplices.
00:22:05.000You also get exclusive access to interviews with RFK Jr., Richard Dawkins, a whole host of things, meditations, podcasts, so much stuff, as well as my live festival community, which you should be coming to, Adrienne, in all honesty, between the 14th and 17th of July.
00:22:37.000We've got Simon Jordan, who's a social pontificator, football expert and some say the most important and radical voice in the world's game since Brian Clough.
00:22:48.000Join us for a fantastic conversation around sport and the culture and business of sport.
