The show kicks off with Sam's traditional routine of sharing a passage from his book, "Everyday Awakening," available for purchase at everydayawakeningbook.com. The selected passage bears the title, "Surrender is about allowing life to lead us." Sam is delighted to introduce this week's special guest, Ipek Williamson, a coach, mentor, speaker, author, meditation advocate, and teacher. She briefly tells the audience about her work and her fascination with meditation.
Ipek spent two decades working as an executive assistant before her life took an unexpected turn, leaving her feeling powerless and trapped in a dark chapter. It was during this challenging period that meditation emerged as her guiding light, helping her navigate through the darkness. She shares her transformational journey with the audience, now as a meditation teacher.
Ipek has confronted numerous hardships throughout her life, and meditation has been her trusted ally in facing these challenges. She generously imparts valuable techniques to the audience, enabling them to navigate their own struggles.

We ran a wonderful deep dive this past weekend on the future of technology and leadership. We had wonderful speakers at great turnout it was very impactful weekend. We got some

So without further ado, let's get started, of course, as I always do, starting off with the little section of my book every day awakening.

I would love to hear your comments and suggestions. You can always reach me at Sam, at the conscious Consultant. Alright. Today's section is entitled
00:02:34.310 --> 00:02:37.359 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Surrender is about life
00:02:37.730 --> 00:02:41.269 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: allowing life to lead us.
00:02:42.340 --> 00:02:55.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Surrender is not about giving up. it is not about giving in. it is not about quitting. It is about allowing life to be our guide.
00:02:56.730 --> 00:03:00.819 It is about listening to the whispers of the universe.
00:03:01.590 --> 00:03:06.530 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It is about giving up control and expectation.
00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:11.209 When we surrender, we release resistance.
00:03:11.570 --> 00:03:20.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we stop forcing things to go a certain way. We allow a greater intelligence to show us the way
00:03:21.910 --> 00:03:25.689 we can surrender, and still have our sovereignty
00:03:26.210 --> 00:03:39.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: still have choice. still have agency in our lives. Yet if we truly surrender to the ebb and flow of life. we begin to feel more at ease.
00:03:39.370 --> 00:03:51.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: life becomes less hard. and without realizing it, we begin to receive more more of what we want. more joy.
00:03:51.750 --> 00:03:54.959 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: more happiness. more abundance.
00:03:56.310 --> 00:03:59.910 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Ultimately we are surrendering something
00:04:00.390 --> 00:04:10.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: deep within us. something that is innately connected to the fabric of the universe that is below the level of our awareness.
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:20.499 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It is submerged within the depths of our soul, and on a level of the fabric of life itself.
00:04:22.300 --> 00:04:37.539 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: How do we surrender to this aspect of ourselves by letting go of the need to be right by letting go of the need to be first. by letting go of the need to be in control
00:04:38.530 --> 00:04:44.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: by allowing what is to just be without judgment.
00:04:45.550 --> 00:04:57.029 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: by allowing what is to unfold as it wants to. by seeing the perfection in everything. even when it is not
00:04:57.080 --> 00:04:58.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what we would choose.
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:02.869 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Surrendering is a path to peace.
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The sooner we surrender.
00:05:06.650 --> 00:05:09.609 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the sooner we will be at ease.
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:15.779 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Where in your life can you find more peace
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:17.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: by surrendering.
00:05:20.130 --> 00:05:21.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So
00:05:21.750 --> 00:05:26.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: this is something that I kind of. I came to
00:05:26.930 --> 00:05:35.880 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: few years ago. you know, after I started really doing the ceremonial work and doing some really deep inner work
00:05:38.630 --> 00:05:40.929 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: around this idea of surrendering.
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:59.169 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And you know, in Western civilization, th, this idea of surrendering has kind of a negative connotation to it. It's kind of like, well, for surrendering. We're giving up our authority. We're we're we're giving up on ourselves. We're giving up on what we want.
00:06:01.150 --> 00:06:07.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And what I realized was that all of that societal program was really all backwards.
00:06:08.630 --> 00:06:12.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It it it's all based on a very
00:06:13.630 --> 00:06:17.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: materialistic physical hmm.
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:23.520 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: very sort of shortsighted in a way, perspective on life.
00:06:25.250 --> 00:06:32.380 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's a very ego-driven idea that giving up is a bad thing, cause their ego doesn't like to give up.
00:06:35.400 --> 00:06:38.749 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But what I've discovered for myself in my own life
00:06:39.850 --> 00:06:41.889 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is that when I give up.
00:06:45.200 --> 00:06:52.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when I let go of what I'm holding onto so tightly.
00:06:53.940 --> 00:06:58.639 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: usually when I'm holding onto it so tightly it's not even coming. It's not there. I don't have it.
00:07:00.030 --> 00:07:04.139 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and when II let go of that grasping
00:07:05.270 --> 00:07:11.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that it makes room for life to bring me something even better
00:07:11.490 --> 00:07:13.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: than what I was grasping at
00:07:14.300 --> 00:07:17.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: something even more profound.
00:07:20.250 --> 00:07:24.920 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I realized that surrendering
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.499 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it. It's not about
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:32.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: giving up control.
00:07:33.420 --> 00:07:40.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because the act of surrendering is an active act. We're in control. We don't have to surrender.
00:07:42.440 --> 00:07:43.710 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's a choice.
00:07:45.330 --> 00:07:55.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yet when we do surrender. What are we surrendering to? We're not surrendering to another person. We're not surrendering to some.
00:07:56.650 --> 00:08:02.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, individual who's more powerful than we are. Any other nonsense like that.
00:08:03.060 --> 00:08:05.949 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Surrendering is an internal process.
00:08:07.510 --> 00:08:09.260 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: its surrendering
00:08:10.310 --> 00:08:14.540 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to life itself. It's surrendering
00:08:14.590 --> 00:08:18.509 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to the magic that the universe can bring to us.
00:08:23.380 --> 00:08:31.819 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's surrendering to our mental idea that things should be different
00:08:31.990 --> 00:08:33.479 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: than what they are.
00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:52.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And of course, when we're in pain, when we're suffering from trauma, when we're triggered when there's all kinds of things going on that don't feel good, and we just wanna get past it, and we just wanna be done with it. Th. This idea of surrender can be very challenging.
00:08:54.820 --> 00:09:01.440 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I mean, when things are going well, yeah, it's easy to re surrender. Yeah, everything's great. Life is wonderful. I can surrender that.
00:09:03.210 --> 00:09:05.019 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But it doesn't work that way.
00:09:06.140 --> 00:09:12.480 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: When we surrender, we have to surrender to all of life. not just to the good parts of life.
00:09:14.430 --> 00:09:23.909 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We have to surrender to the pain, the misfortune. the the disappointments.
00:09:26.520 --> 00:09:31.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the fact that maybe our life isn't exactly the way
00:09:31.270 --> 00:09:33.579 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we mentally think it should be.
00:09:36.450 --> 00:09:41.679 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but it's so interesting and have seen it with many people I've worked with over the years
00:09:42.700 --> 00:09:44.859 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that once we surrender
00:09:46.030 --> 00:09:55.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we let go of our expectations. We let go of our desire to control things and to make things the way we think they should be
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:00.059 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that suddenly life gets easier.
00:10:01.560 --> 00:10:04.239 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that suddenly things start coming to us
00:10:05.310 --> 00:10:12.050 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that feed us and uplift us, that that help us in ways that we could never have imagined before.
00:10:15.040 --> 00:10:28.260 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And it's like. Oh. gee! I wish I had surrendered sooner like, if this is what it took to bring all the things that I wanted, why didn't I surrender sooner? It's such a paradox.
00:10:30.500 --> 00:10:37.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because we think that we have to effort. We have to force. We have to use.
00:10:37.830 --> 00:10:43.379 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, force instead of sinking into where our true power lies.
00:10:48.110 --> 00:10:53.539 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so I wrote this section because I just wanted to share with people
00:10:55.470 --> 00:10:58.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what I felt inside
00:11:01.490 --> 00:11:05.249 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and it. And it's really kind of funny, because
00:11:06.300 --> 00:11:11.539 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when I look back over my life and I don't mean just like the last 10 years or so.
00:11:11.910 --> 00:11:16.129 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But when I look back over the last 40, 50 years.
00:11:19.450 --> 00:11:24.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: One of the things that I always did in an almost unconscious way
00:11:26.340 --> 00:11:29.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: was I surrendered to what life was putting in front of me.
00:11:32.090 --> 00:11:34.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it was
00:11:34.210 --> 00:11:46.610 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: not always easy. It was challenging. There were very hard times. and I, and and, to be honest, I didn't always deal with things the best way.
00:11:46.830 --> 00:11:48.380 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I didn't always
00:11:49.280 --> 00:11:54.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: truly given and surrender. I surrendered to a point, but not fully.
00:11:57.620 --> 00:12:02.910 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but it was a process, but it was something that II feel like when I look over my life.
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:18.950 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I did more than most people coming from the kind of background that I came from. and so sometimes people ask me what's my superflower, and I see my superpower as I surrender to life. I just
00:12:19.160 --> 00:12:31.890 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: let life take me where it wants to take me, and and I just allow myself to go along, for the ride doesn't mean I don't have goals doesn't mean I don't have desires, doesn't mean I don't have intentions.
00:12:31.920 --> 00:12:34.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and there aren't things that I want to happen.
00:12:37.530 --> 00:12:45.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And it doesn't mean I surrender all the time I'm a human being. I resist surrendering as like everyone else.
00:12:48.530 --> 00:12:57.759 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But it's reminders like this that help to remind me of the magic and the beauty in surrendering to life.
00:13:00.230 --> 00:13:11.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so II I hope this resonates with you in in some way. and that maybe even encourages you a little bit
00:13:11.300 --> 00:13:17.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to try surrendering a little bit more in your own life and and seeing what happens.
00:13:17.450 --> 00:13:30.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and if you do, I would love to hear about it. So your mission, should you choose to accept it. try surrendering to life this week. and and let me know what happens

00:16:02.870 --> 00:16:27.870 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I just want to correct one thing, though, my name is pronounced as epic epic. Where are you originally? From? What kind of name is?
00:16:27.870 --> 00:16:43.969 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: Yes, well, it's not a surprise that you mispronounce it because it's not a very common name, obviously. Because I'm originally from Turkey Istanbul. I was born in Istanbul Turkey, and it's a Turkish name, and it means silk
00:16:43.980 --> 00:16:45.929 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: in my mother's tongue.
00:16:46.120 --> 00:17:13.929 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: And I moved to Canada 16 years ago. So I'm both Canadian and a Turkish citizen now, and I'm married to a Canadian amazing man. So hence my last name is very much English. It's Williams. What's your your Turkish? What's your maiden last name.
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:17.210 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: Oh, it was
00:17:17.369 --> 00:17:18.790 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: Azuki.
00:17:18.819 --> 00:17:27.830 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: It's a very difficult word. Well, I love it. III love
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:35.350 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: all cultures around the world. II just find them so fascinating for their differences and for their similarities.
00:17:35.690 --> 00:17:58.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Absolutely. Yeah. Turkey is a very meditarian country, and very similar to cultures of Italy, Spain, Greece? Yeah, yeah, yes, I've I've I've only been in the in the Turkish airport on my way to Israel. But I actually really look forward to visiting Turkey one day and seeing the site I've had. I'm so many people I know have been there.
00:17:58.260 --> 00:18:08.799 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's so. So I'm just curious. We're a little over time, but I just gotta ask you one question before we go to our first break, and that is was this
00:18:09.600 --> 00:18:19.829 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: pull towards like meditation and coaching. And and this kind of stuff was this something that was always with you? Or is this something that kind of developed later in life for you.
00:18:20.420 --> 00:18:37.089 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: It developed later. But since I was younger adult I had an interest in like law of attraction. And the secret and all that kind of
00:18:37.440 --> 00:19:07.310 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: concepts. But later in life I was an executive assistant over 20 years but then I I left my career, and when I was looking for something else while already meditating for a few years. It was kind of a obvious choice for me, because I have been coaching so many people already.
00:19:07.490 --> 00:19:16.100 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: So it was later in life, a few years ago, but I was getting ready for that for all my life.
00:19:16.180 --> 00:19:17.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yeah.
00:19:17.390 --> 00:19:26.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: gotcha gotcha wonderful wonderful! Alright. Let's let's go to break real quick. And and when we come back let's talk about sort of
00:19:26.380 --> 00:19:36.909 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that process of how you went from being an executive assistant to a meditation teacher and and sort of what that was like for you, and what you've learned in the process. Okay.
00:19:37.260 --> 00:19:38.050 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: sure.
00:19:38.450 --> 00:19:50.259 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: wonderful. So everyone. Please stay tuned. You're listening to the conscious consult now or awakening humanity. We do this every Thursday 12 noon to one Pm. Eastern, and we will be right back with our guest.
00:19:50.290 --> 00:19:53.480 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Epic Williamson, in just a moment.
00:22:03.060 --> 00:22:13.340 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and welcome back to the conscious. Consult now awakening humanity. And we're speaking this hour with epic Williamson. So epic.
00:22:13.390 --> 00:22:26.089 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I mean, you had a relatively normal career, right executive assistant, you know, working in in sort of normal environment. You'd started meditating. And then you you just when you left
00:22:27.220 --> 00:22:46.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you you would already started meditating. But what was it that when you left, being an executive assistant kind of like drew you towards? Maybe I should learn more about this, or maybe I should move more in this direction, like what was it that was kind of either nudging you that way, or or pulling you in a strong fashion that way.
00:22:48.460 --> 00:23:00.349 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: Sam, my living my leaving my career as an executive assistant after 20 years was not my choice.
00:23:00.930 --> 00:23:04.690 but it was a like a
00:23:05.450 --> 00:23:07.909 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: a result of some
00:23:08.020 --> 00:23:15.590 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: on unhappy events, let's say so. At the end.
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:45.100 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: Well, and II told that story in in the book Mission hope where II wrote a chapter about that whole experience and how it impacted me how I felt like my identity was taken away from me. And then II went into a quite some deep depression period, even though it was short
00:23:45.250 --> 00:24:07.010 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: and to get out of that. I was meditating really, religiously every day, multiple times and trying to find my next path, because I knew that that door was close to me. I was not able to even go for
00:24:07.280 --> 00:24:28.630 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: interviews. Because it was like kind of Ptsd for me. And so II realized that I have to find another path for myself, and meditating and meditating, and asking the question, What's next? What's next? What's next? And one day
00:24:29.020 --> 00:24:43.469 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: I remember like yesterday I was meditating in in our backyard porch and said, be patient.
00:24:43.610 --> 00:24:46.069 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: So I literally heard that.
00:24:46.190 --> 00:24:50.500 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: And then, I said, Okay, then I'm gonna be patient.
00:24:50.600 --> 00:24:53.740 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: And very soon after
00:24:54.350 --> 00:25:17.280 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: some people started to show up in my reality, and soon enough I was nudged towards creating a practice as a coach, and to do that get the training? Obviously. So I started my training. I started my training as a coach and also as a meditation teacher.
00:25:17.320 --> 00:25:19.580 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: And then
00:25:19.850 --> 00:25:36.069 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: right away I started to connect with clients, and since then I never stopped. I loved it. I I've it's I found out that meditation and coaching are my icky guy.
00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:46.340 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: I don't know if you are familiar with that word, but that's those things are teaching meditation and coaching people is really
00:25:48.700 --> 00:25:52.640 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: the things that light me up
00:25:53.020 --> 00:25:55.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: right? Right? So
00:25:55.890 --> 00:25:56.740 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: it's
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.290 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: it's my north. Yeah.
00:26:00.330 --> 00:26:02.540 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: yeah, that's how I started.
00:26:02.590 --> 00:26:28.029 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You're happy place. Right? So. But it's a different experience between just being a meditator yourself and then actually teaching meditation. And so I'm curious when you started teaching it like, what did you see in the people that came to you like, why were they coming to you, and and how did meditation help them with whatever they were dealing with at the moment?
00:26:31.740 --> 00:26:46.799 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: So the reason why I wanted become to become an a meditation teacher was I, and also more so an advocate of meditation. Because I must say it's really, literally saved me.
00:26:47.040 --> 00:26:48.080 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: It
00:26:48.100 --> 00:27:14.909 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: like going through those hard times. It was my go to and saved me so well that I wanted other people to benefit from the same. Because I know everybody is going through hard times in their lives, and there's a tool that is available free of charge for everyone that they can benefit from. So I thought.
00:27:14.910 --> 00:27:28.719 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: going from 2,020 to 21, my New Year resolution was, I wanna touch 10,000 people through meditation, and I didn't know how
00:27:28.750 --> 00:27:29.590 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: at all.
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:40.370 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: but I was studying meditation and teaching meditation but I didn't know how I'm gonna connect with that many people.
00:27:40.380 --> 00:27:52.430 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And then another friend of mine who he? She's a a Yoganida teacher and a coach. She mentioned to me, the inside timer
00:27:54.930 --> 00:27:57.700 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and
00:27:58.080 --> 00:28:01.719 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: and the moment she did that I'm gonna pay
00:28:02.150 --> 00:28:13.210 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: other people, I'm gonna connect with other people and teach them meditation, and right away I started my process of application as a teacher.
00:28:13.270 --> 00:28:25.160 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: and it's been over 2 years now. I have 5,000 followers there I do. 2 twice a week. Live sessions I have over 80 meditations
00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:32.490 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: like published there, and over 150,000 times they they were played so
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:36.660 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: so It was
00:28:36.760 --> 00:28:42.979 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: really a miracle that it came right in front of me, and I took it.
00:28:43.180 --> 00:28:45.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I surrendered.
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:58.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There you go! That's the surrender comes in. That's amazing. That's wonderful. That's wonderful. Okay, epic. We're gonna take another quick break. And when we come back I'd like to talk about like.
00:28:58.530 --> 00:29:26.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: what are the benefits of meditation and like, how can meditation help people today? Because I see today like so much is changing futures are so uncertain. And and let's just talk about. I mean, some of the benefits are obvious. But, like, how does meditation really support people to get through sort of a challenging time where there's so much change going on. And people don't know like what things are gonna be like in a year or 2 years from now. Okay.
00:29:28.390 --> 00:29:29.720 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: wonderful.
00:29:29.870 --> 00:29:39.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So everyone, please stay tuned. You're listening to the conscious consult now, or awakening humanity, and we will be right back with our guest in just a moment.
00:31:44.180 --> 00:31:58.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and welcome back. So I, pepe E. You've been through very difficult time in your in your life, and a lot of people right now are feeling very uncertain. Really not sure
00:31:58.190 --> 00:32:05.369 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: W. Where things are going, what's going on? How, how can meditation? How? How can they that help them to? Really.
00:32:05.410 --> 00:32:14.920 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, face all of these challenges and and and deal with challenging times when we don't even know where we're going anymore.
00:32:14.930 --> 00:32:36.769 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: Thank you for this question. Because I I'm a chain change champion. I call myself as a change champion. And I really love change and uncertainty unlike most of people. Because when I look at uncertainty or change, I see possibilities.
00:32:36.770 --> 00:32:55.719 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: possibilities and opportunities instead of challenges. But I am an exception, of course. Because the human mind doesn't like to deal with uncertainty. In general, we want to know what is on the horizon and what will happen next, what we can expect.
00:32:55.770 --> 00:33:18.620 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: because we like to feel secure, and security comes with certainty, and if we know what will happen? Even if it might be something negative, we can get ready for it. We can start the process of accepting it and looking for a way of living with it. But if we don't know what will happen
00:33:18.690 --> 00:33:24.230 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: where we will be in a few weeks or months. That gives us anxiety and worry
00:33:24.610 --> 00:33:45.929 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: and uncertainty. Involves operating in unknown situations where the consequences are completely unpredictable. And these kinds of risks make us uncomfortable. But overall, we know that they can be managed and potentially influenced. Actually, if we didn't.
00:33:46.130 --> 00:34:12.910 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: and then there would be no one, no entrepreneurs starting new businesses every day, or people making any kind of big decisions like immigrating to another country, just like I did more than a decade ago, or starting a new life in a brand new city, changing careers, and so on. And one of the biggest challenges we have in coping with uncertainty is anxiety. and
00:34:13.323 --> 00:34:31.910 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: being faced with the unknown is scary, and it is con uncomfortable because we are not in a space that we know and we can control, as you said before, like surrender and control like, because we want to be in control of
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:50.530 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: things. And whenever things get out of control. We have difficulty to where meditation and mindfulness comes, come into play. Play is that it really helps us to deal with our fears
00:34:50.580 --> 00:35:04.389 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: embrace the uncertainty and see it as something that keeps us on our toes. And in my vision, in my
00:35:04.640 --> 00:35:25.810 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: like perspective. It's really brings me excitement about my role in whatever is in my future. So we can choose to see uncertain times as an opportunity to challenge ourselves in terms of being flexible, creative, and excited.
00:35:25.910 --> 00:35:44.289 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: and we can choose to be positive and motivate ourselves, thinking and believing that whatever is coming our way will bring us goodness, happiness, and peacefulness only by being in that state of mind, would help us to deal with it. And
00:35:44.290 --> 00:36:01.130 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: in order to deal with uncertainty, as I said, like meditation has been for me like a medication, really, because it really removed the notion of fear from my system.
00:36:02.600 --> 00:36:20.499 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: because I could do that myself, I know that everybody can, can, because my belief is, if one person could do something I can do that, too, and it's the same for everyone in the world. We are all made of the same cloth.
00:36:20.570 --> 00:36:36.310 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: and we all have same capabilities as long as we choose to. Go for them like not like throw soil on top of it, but excavate and bring them to the surface.
00:36:36.380 --> 00:36:39.350 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: And so
00:36:40.300 --> 00:36:47.710 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so. So let me ask you a few strategies.
00:36:47.920 --> 00:37:04.249 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: how would you recommend somebody start with meditation, or how would you recommend. They they they sort of start on this path when they're in the middle of like some crisis or some change or something. That's that's G get causing them some anxiety.
00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:34.479 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: There are quite a few things that I can offer or recommend first of all, there is no one right way of meditation. There are as many as the number of people in the world. So everyone's recipe, or everyone's a prescription is different. So whatever resonates with you is the best. But
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:42.389 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: if II even wrote a book about it, it's called live your life in a meditate
00:37:46.550 --> 00:38:05.359 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: and in that short and sweet ebook easy and effortless ways of meditation, because, there are so many myths in people's minds around meditation. Oh, I have to be quiet. I have to keep my mind quiet for this.
00:38:05.490 --> 00:38:18.699 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: This time period. I have to sit still. I have to sit up tall and in the lottest position for 2030 min. No.
00:38:18.720 --> 00:38:25.460 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: it doesn't have to be that way, and you can even start with a few mindful breaths.
00:38:26.140 --> 00:38:30.619 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: even taking a few seconds per day
00:38:31.300 --> 00:38:42.729 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: and starting with that when I work with her clients who never meditated before. I ask them to meditate 1 min per day, 1 min.
00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:51.309 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: and and it could be just take keep like taking really conscious breaths, that's all.
00:38:51.600 --> 00:38:54.719 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: And I don't let them go more than 1 min.
00:38:55.140 --> 00:38:58.960 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's interesting.
00:39:00.160 --> 00:39:01.320 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: All
00:39:05.870 --> 00:39:09.639 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: you're not gonna go 2 min.
00:39:10.600 --> 00:39:11.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yeah.
00:39:19.200 --> 00:39:37.070 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: Doing that. I invoke some kind of okay, I wanna do more. Next time they comment, I wanna do more. Can I go to 2 min because coming and pull F that you want to create
00:39:37.430 --> 00:39:42.449 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: the willingness to. I am telling them them to do that. So
00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:53.079 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: meditation builds up. It builds up in our system really, just like a medication that we take for a long while, and then it starts working. Really.
00:39:53.460 --> 00:40:12.290 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: So those are things that I implement very cool, very cool. I love that idea. Just start with 1 min and and don't go any longer, and then maybe 2 min, and then maybe 3 min, and then build it up slowly but surely. And I agree, like so many people, have this preconception
00:40:12.340 --> 00:40:20.830 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of what meditation is, and how do you do it? And and it's really much more flexible and much more varied than people's idea.
00:40:21.450 --> 00:40:33.409 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And you know, like I like, I live next to Central Park, so I love to take a walking meditation, and go in the park and walk, and just be mindful and present to the trees and the grass
00:40:34.240 --> 00:41:02.169 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: and the nature around me so that it it doesn't have to be just a sitting still. Meditation? Right? Yes, yes, there are so many ways even eating like savoring something, one bite of chocolate or or chore meditation, like, there are so many things that we do daily that could, we can turn them into mindful moments.
00:41:02.250 --> 00:41:13.479 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yeah, pockets of time during our day. Right? Right I used to joke with my wife back when I would iron my own shirts. I was like, this is my earning meditation.
00:41:15.070 --> 00:41:29.959 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: Yes, yes, I have a friend. Actually, her ironing is her one of her meditation methods, because she says she feels ever anything that puts you in a state of flow
00:41:30.020 --> 00:41:41.140 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: is a way of meditation and mindfulness. So we are already. Most of us are already doing it without knowing.
00:41:41.200 --> 00:41:47.410 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: So what I'm bringing into the equation is being more mindful and doing it intentionally
00:41:47.870 --> 00:41:53.650 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: right, right it. And that, I think, is really the key. It's being intentional.
00:41:53.670 --> 00:42:00.149 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's like. before you go to engage in it like taking a moment to go like.
00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:11.669 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Hmm, okay, this is gonna be a practice. I'm gonna be working. I'm being more present and more mindful during this practice. I'm about to do whatever the practice is.
00:42:11.710 --> 00:42:17.829 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that when we bring that that sort of higher state of awareness to it
00:42:17.940 --> 00:42:27.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: like then it can really serve us in a lot of different ways, is what you're saying absolutely. And you know what there is also another
00:42:27.600 --> 00:42:48.110 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: tool that I recently started to use, because I'm also a a positive intelligence coach. Positive intelligence brings like 2 min, 2 min, 2 min, 3 times 2 min mindfulness exercises that for people who don't wanna sit for longer
00:42:48.190 --> 00:42:51.489 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: time periods to meditate. There is that, too?
00:42:51.700 --> 00:43:00.759 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Hmm. I'm I'm curious when someone comes to you, and they have some challenge and you give them some kind of meditation practice.
00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:13.179 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: How long does it usually take before you see a change in them, or before they see a change in themselves, like how long before they really start to feel like, oh, my God, I feel so different now.
00:43:14.220 --> 00:43:17.680 It's really depends on the person
00:43:17.690 --> 00:43:34.919 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: but you know, I because I'm a meditation teacher. It doesn't mean I implement meditation with everybody. It's so tailor-made my coaching approach is very much
00:43:35.060 --> 00:43:37.180 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: the personal.
00:43:37.580 --> 00:44:00.529 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: So we build the best best recipe best prescription that works for them. So but but in general, what I see is if they are serious, and they really wanna bring like, bring a difference, change in their lives into their lives. We see a change within one to 2 months.
00:44:00.980 --> 00:44:24.880 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Okay, one to 2 months. So yeah, it's a typical thing like Thi, a new habit takes about 30 days for you to really start to notice something and 90 days to really solidify it. Right wonderful! Alright! It's time. First take our last break of the show when we come back. Let's talk about
00:44:25.150 --> 00:44:28.129 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know. Where do you see things going for yourself
00:44:28.140 --> 00:44:51.679 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and like where your clients are taking you, like other people showing up that are challenging you in different ways. Are, are, are you seeing, like some different types of things that people are showing up with compared to when you first started teaching meditation and and coaching with people. Just want to get a sense of sort of the the shift over time. Okay.
00:44:51.930 --> 00:45:20.819 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: awesome. So everyone, please stay tuned. You're listening to that conscious consultant hour awakening humanity. We do this every Thursday one pm, eastern, right here on talk radio, Dot, Nyc and all over Facebook and Youtube and Twitter and Linkedin and twitch TV. And of course, on Wednesdays, at 10 am. Local time in Palm Springs, California. And we will be right back to wrap it all up with our guest. Epic Williamson, in just a moment
00:47:28.030 --> 00:47:45.059 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so epic. I'm I'm just wondering from when you started coaching people and guiding people as a meditation, a advocate to today. Have you seen a shift in what people are coming to you for, or is it really all the same thing?
00:47:49.930 --> 00:47:57.380 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Cause, I know sometimes. when we start, it's people because I love to work.
00:47:58.240 --> 00:47:59.469 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Sorry. Go ahead.
00:48:00.010 --> 00:48:02.900 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: Yeah, no, I was saying, well.
00:48:04.050 --> 00:48:19.010 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: I don't see much of a change per se. But I found out that, because, you know, when you start your career as a coach you want to. See what is my niche.
00:48:19.170 --> 00:48:20.700 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: and
00:48:21.170 --> 00:48:28.330 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: Who? Who? I am the most beneficial for but in my case
00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:31.990 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: I changed a few pads, and then
00:48:32.280 --> 00:48:58.420 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: my niche found me. So it's what I believe, anyway, in any way. As I said, I like to go for the things that pull me rather than I push to create so and then change and uncertainty came, to me as my main focus point, because especially during Covid.
00:48:58.600 --> 00:49:04.089 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: there was so much change and uncertainty going on in the world.
00:49:04.760 --> 00:49:25.239 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: and people losing their jobs like getting almost losing their homes and all kinds of situations. So I helped many people go through those hard times, and get to the other side with solutions that they come up with
00:49:25.310 --> 00:49:30.169 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: through their insights. That's that's why, for example, my
00:49:30.220 --> 00:49:34.519 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: training was. I'm a certified insight coach. What I
00:49:34.650 --> 00:49:52.490 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: try to do is helping my clients to come up with their own solutions rather than me, telling them what to do. I like them to come up with the solutions that they that that are best for them.
00:49:52.730 --> 00:49:55.539 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: for that specific situation.
00:49:55.550 --> 00:50:02.109 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: so that they learn how to deal with future
00:50:02.390 --> 00:50:07.129 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: situations, future problems when they show up
00:50:07.240 --> 00:50:13.870 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: like II don't like to give them the fish. I want to teach them how to fish
00:50:13.900 --> 00:50:32.310 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: so but there are a few things. Not that we are at the last end of our conversation. Before leaving. I want to give a few things a few tips to the listeners. Because
00:50:32.650 --> 00:51:00.450 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: it's not easy. It's hard to not know what a future holds. And if movie some soundtracks have taught us one thing, it's that it can rain it can. It cannot rain all the time, and the sun will come out tomorrow, but the hard part is knowing how to stay strong until the St. Storm passes. So I have a few tips.
00:51:00.650 --> 00:51:02.560 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: First of all.
00:51:02.670 --> 00:51:06.460 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: I am talking to whoever is listening right now.
00:51:06.610 --> 00:51:32.190 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: except that some situations are beyond your control. It's easier said than done, of course, but there's a reason why acceptance is the last stage of grief. We have to cycle through all of our other emotions before we reach that point, denial, anger, bargaining, sadness, all play a role in getting to acceptance. So
00:51:32.290 --> 00:51:34.860 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: try to get there. Try to accept
00:51:34.950 --> 00:51:44.760 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: also another thing. Allow yourself time to grieve and feel all the feelings. And I'm I never say
00:51:45.410 --> 00:51:53.430 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: it's okay. It's gonna be fine. No. feel your feelings. accept them and sit with it.
00:51:53.680 --> 00:52:18.820 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: and any loss, be it human, a beloved pet, or even your life savings, can cause grief and so get mad, feel sad, scream out to the universe that you will do anything to reverse this strategy, tragedy, tragedy, and once you cycle through all your feelings, possibly a few times, even
00:52:20.390 --> 00:52:28.710 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: then you will be ready to accept that there are things in this world that you can't control and find your inner strength to face them.
00:52:28.800 --> 00:52:35.930 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: Another one that I share is never be afraid of asking for help.
00:52:36.420 --> 00:53:03.199 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: Being strong doesn't mean you never need help quite the opposite. Actually, it's understanding that sometimes we can't do everything on our own. So, recognizing that some problems are too big for one person is one of the best ways to stay strong during tough times, all of us at some time or other we need help, and whether we are giving or receiving help.
00:53:03.360 --> 00:53:16.730 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world. So be ready to help others and be ready to ask for help. It's not a weakness, it's a strength.
00:53:17.040 --> 00:53:27.540 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And and by showing our vulnerability that we need help actually shows how strong we are that we're willing to be vulnerable
00:53:28.060 --> 00:53:34.399 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: absolutely, absolutely. But one other thing that I'm I really
00:53:34.430 --> 00:53:40.929 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: use myself in my own life, and also,
00:53:42.140 --> 00:53:47.599 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: So just my clients to do
00:53:48.520 --> 00:53:55.070 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: reframing, reframing the negative thoughts
00:53:55.140 --> 00:53:57.589 and faking happiness.
00:53:57.760 --> 00:54:10.320 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: and think about how you can genuinely refund survive this loss. It's too much to bear, reframe it to. I have survived losses before and made it through. So I will get through this, too.
00:54:10.950 --> 00:54:16.110 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: And so it's so in line with what you
00:54:16.700 --> 00:54:34.130 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: talked about. And I really love the part that you read about surrender? Because I'm a real believer of surrendering to what life brings us rather than trying to push things or control things.
00:54:34.170 --> 00:54:39.620 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: And everything happens for a reason.
00:54:39.710 --> 00:54:56.310 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: When we see the change or uncertainty, or something like a a rug pulled out of ourselves. We need to see this is happening for a reason, and it is happening for me not to me. I am not a victim.
00:54:56.440 --> 00:55:03.919 Ipek Williamson, CIC, PQC: and I went through many things. I will get through this, too, and everything will be okay. I am safe.
