Communicating Through Energy
00:00You are what you believe and so if you believe you can connect and you communicate this way because you uh you're going to be I mean the fact that people are not aware of energy we can feel that that person doesn't feel good and we're not we don't even know each other you know so imagine if we humans are sensitive to that all animals never stop this way of being right the sensitivity of animals they they don't go into the mind they stay within their instinct because that's how they stay safe you know and and maintain the peace And so uh what you did was exactly that.
00:33Don't talk. Don't talk with words. Talk with energy, body language, and intention. You know, how how do you become the best doctor in the world? Because that's all you think about it. [laughter] That's all you think about it. You know, even when you go to sleep, even when you're nobody, you're not talking about it.
00:48That's so you create the law of attraction. You create the law of creation. The most difficult law is the law of maintenance, right? Because it's easy to attract, it's easy to create. it what's hardest to maintain, right? And that's why patience is so important or silence is so important.
01:03Yeah. Because it's this one is is infinite. It's an infinite energy. So if you feel that, imagine how powerful you become. And then just to be right here where you are claiming your space, [sighs] calm that gives you another power because that gives the animals the capability to trust.
01:22And then your intention, right? What is it that you want without words? I just don't want you to pee over there. I just don't want you to go after that dog. I just want
Silence & Animal Communication
01:31you to stop doing what you're doing. Because think about when cats communicate with a dog. It's a completely different specy. But can a cat control a dog? The same way you did. Same silence, calm, confident. So that's that's that's why a cat can control a Rodweller and a pitbull.
01:49Right? When people feel, oh, it's a it's a very dangerous breed. At the moment you think something is dangerous, you you give your power away. Right? At the moment you bring silence, calmness, confidence, you regain your power back. And that's the first line of communication before sound.
02:04But most people focus on I want to train my dog. I want my dog to listen to commands. No, no, no, no. You want your dog to listen to your silence, to your calmness, to what's in your mind without saying a word. That's exactly it right there.
02:16That was
Story Of Costello
02:19the the relationship with Costello improved in order of magnitude when I understood that that I could talk to him all day or say whatever. It had a very little potency compared to how I would show up. And then it also taught me a lot of course about how to arrive home, how to walk into a, you know, I bring him to class.
02:40I taught, you know, 400 per person class. He would walk in. It was very interesting. everyone, you know, oh, dog, dogs, most professors wouldn't bring their dog to class and he knew it was all there. Typical Costello, you know, he would just kind of walk to the front of the class.
02:54He would wait a few minutes, not look at anybody, and then he he would decide. He just like glare at all. He could light up a room. But I understood that I wouldn't let him be like the too much of a celebrity or else he would start misbehaving.
03:06I had to remind him like, you know, we have a structure and an order. That's correct. And I do think that people would benefit so much from getting in touch with this capacity that they have to sense their own energy and the energy of other people regardless of if they have a dog.
03:22Well, you know, Americans go to India to be quiet, right? And then to uh to f to practice not eating which they call fasting, right? And then to stretch. That's practically it is silence, you know, learn how to breathe and then stretch gives you a little bit, you know, agility into it and you learn to control hunger which in a third country that's what we learn, right?
03:47We learn to control hunger. We learn to be quiet. We learn to be calm. We learn, you know, whatever we know, we do really good at it. We become really good farmers, really good animal people, right? and uh family people, you know,
Discipline & Structure
04:01God people and and so we have a good structure, good discipline and such a basic simple stuff. And that's what gives us the uh the upper hand of uh walk a dog off leash. You know, when I started walking dogs in America, I didn't know it was illegal to walk dogs off leash.
04:17I was walking 40 60 dogs at a time, right? And I was doing it off leash because that's all I knew. You see it? And so that that uh that energy of silence, calmness, confidence is what now I now that I understand what I did is what led me to this event, you know, for people to see me from Englewood to South Central.
04:39It's a Mexican guy that walks a pack of dogs from Englewood to South Central off leash. That's when the LA Times came and and did a piece of me because they didn't they couldn't understand, you know, this concept of walking a dog off leash.
04:53this dog shaman or something and a dog in the land of the free, right? Because, you know, dogs in America have rights, but that doesn't mean they can walk off leash.
Leading With The Leash
05:01You see, the dog has to be on a leash and humans have to learn uh to to transmit that energy through the leash because there's a lot of dogs that react on the leash when the dog should be the most well behaved, then a dog is off the leash. You see?
05:13But the leash in the animal world is trust, respect, love. the the the leash in the animal world is that human understanding you know silence calmness confidence love joy and that's pack leader direction protection right that's the only way you can say I'm a pack leader right because you are that energy [music]
