-: We're living at a time
when one of the most serious threats
to human health and wellbeing is depression,
when we are materially better off
than at any time in the history of our species.
(dramatic music)
-: Relationship issues, beliefs about money,
drugs, depression, suicide.
Why?
-: We're in a system that is not natural.
Man: These systems grew up in the interests
of the Industrial Revolution
and, to some degree, in the image of it.
-: So as we've done that,
we've ended up domesticating ourselves.
So at this point,
human domestication is seven billion people,
most of whom live on a giant human factory farm.
-: All the things that we're taught by social media
and the media that will make us happy
actually make us miserable.
-: People have social and emotional problems
if they don't connect with each other
or if they're kept apart.
-: When ultimately the problem
is that we're moving through the world
with a broken connection and so it hurts.
Man: When the car was on fire, I was in a lot of pain.
I was screaming, "don't let me die.
"I don't want to die."
Woman: My entire life just came crashing down.
I had lost my home, I was six figures in debt,
my relationship broke up, and I wanted to end it all.
Woman: And as I ran through this gorge,
I noticed this big fire coming really quickly
and I ended up being burned all over my body.
Woman: I remember walking Jesse out
and I noticed that he had written "I love you".
That happened to be my goodbye message.
-: Our thoughts and emotions are driving changes
in our bodies every single moment, every single thought.
If we retell the sad, tragic story of our past,
if we remain there over and over and over again,
it has a terrible effect on our bodies.
-: The stress, the anxiety, the anger, the overwhelm,
the traumatic experience are affecting you biochemically.
-: The energy of that emotion can become trapped in the body.
We call this emotional baggage.
-: But when you bounce back from that bankruptcy
or from that broken heart or from that divorce
or from that bout in hospital,
you see the world in a different way.
-: And I believe our greatest gift
lies right next to our deepest wounds.
-: The wound is what sets you up for bliss.
-: You become aware that there's something within you
that no one else has the way you have it.
Man: So ask yourself this question:
who would you be if you didn't have your old story,
if you were free of all the things that hold you back?
You could soar.
-: You were put here for a reason
and your mission, if you choose to accept it,
is to find that reason and fulfill it.
-: Underneath it all, you can take the power back.
-: It is what drives our quest for enlightenment
or our quest for spirituality or our quest for true love.
-: It just makes your life wider, bigger, more luminous.
-: Our thoughts are so powerful,
what they do to shift your body, your finances,
your relationships, and the world around you.
That's the power of mind over matter.
