Garry Lineham (@humangaragela), co-founder of Human Garage, is a lifelong bio-hacker who believes that the human body was designed to heal itself. He started Human Garage as a vehicle to give people the correct input to start that healing. Garry himself lived in chronic pain for over 20 years.

During that time, he became increasingly frustrated with the countless treatment modalities that only addressed his symptoms. He realized the root of the problem wasn’t being solved and set out to do just that.

Human Garage is based on the principle that optimal health is achieved through complete alignment— restoring the natural functions of the body to enjoy pain-free, full-range of motion. Garry is proud of the fact that medical doctors and therapists from around the world are now coming to Venice, California to learn the Human Garage way of repairing and re-balancing the human body.

In this episode, Garry gives why stretching doesn’t work and the issue isn't the issue. How the body is all connected as one. How the Human Garage began and what sets it apart from other places.

Minute Breakdown:

0 - 18 Muscles have signals. If you don’t get a signal to body part you are working on, then you need to fix that because you are over compensating other areas.  Traditionally people power through aches and pains and don’t resolve it. What does it mean to have your body compensate itself back into alignment?

18 –29  There’s one reason why all these injuries happen and it is stress.  People work out to get rid of stress and then end up injured. Fascia is woven everywhere throughout your body. It’s like an intricate network of webbing that connects each part of you to everything else.  How we walk with our hips not our feet. If your systems aren’t working together than it has an effect on performance. You want your muscles to work better, but really you need the whole body to be working together.  

29 - 42  How meridian lines show hidden throughout your body,  connections you can’t see and would never consider. They are useful in showing us the connections between muscles, joints, nerves, and organs.   Drilling down to the real issue, lin internal organs, then you heal faster. Food staying in the system too long and doesn’t absorb protein which then turns to cards.  When your body is achy in muscle and joints, it’s because the body can’t recover.

42 – 50: Gary changed model so people don’t have to come in as much.   They are now training external practionars so they can expand the Human Garage.  Human Garage having CBD essential oil steamed shower, hot or cold baths, offering the total conscious spa experience.  What’s organic structured wine? People from all over the world are calling for Human Garage treatment because of what takes 3 hours to heal, will take minutes at Human Garage because of their techniques.  Postural alignment and client education are two key elements of the Human Garage program.

Guy Ferdman is a modern-day shaman and co-founder of Satori Prime. A spiritual truth-sayer whose warrior spirit merges ancient wisdom with modern practicality against the backdrop of everyday life. In the past, Guy has helped thousands of entrepreneurs in over 23 countries launch their businesses online. A marketing genius, the essence of his work has always been to coach people to profound breakthroughs at lightning speed.

Satori Prime’s message is deeply personal to Guy. Having spent 7+ years in a state of anger and depression, he opted to take his first Landmark Forum. It was there that he realized his ability to craft his own reality. That he had always had a choice in how felt and in how he viewed his external reality. Guy now teaches thousands of people around the world to claim that same power.

In the past, he was a head coach for the Self Expression Leadership Program at Landmark Education where he was personally responsible for coaching thousands of people. He’s graced the stages of New York, DC, Boston as well as internationally. He’s been seen in the Huffington Post, Less Doing, The Art of Charm, and 6 Figure Mentors among others. He currently lives in magnificent San Diego with his two cats, Simba and Ginji.

In this episode we talk about physical, mental and emotional alignment for optimal performance.

0 – 18  Intro to Guy’s reason for the personal development over the years.  The psychology behind these fearful stories we tell ourselves and why.  Why gaining awareness was great but how Guy didn’t feel different. Why people compensate in other ways. Guy tapping into the integration of physical, mental and emotional alignment. Discussing the lack of this integration today.

18 –29  The different energy systems.  Discussion of Embodiment. Different patterns and subconscious things we do.    Resolving parts of the system that are holding on to different patterns Ex: Built up body gives you confidence but energetically things aren’t changing so you tend to live you in fear still.   Discussions of aggressive, controlling rigid, emerging patterns.

29 – 42 Restful connection with yourself so problems aren’t arising.  Getting your body in a peaceful connection with yourself. Human body is not built for chronic stress and 70% of America have chronic illness.  4 levels of consciousness. Your body telling you stories with in survival mode. Where your attention goes energy flows.

42 – 59  Energy systems taken in from environments, people etc.  and how we push them away because we aren’t in restful state and holding onto energy because we feel we have to be happy. Body has natural intelligence and will move things though.  Letting the body digest the energies you are taking in so they don’t become stuck in the body. Energy and experiences metabolism. The story will disappear and dissipate along with energy.

Enjoy!

-Mike

Minute Breakdown:

0 – 18 Intro to Alek and how he created his business and developed his clients, while also running a coaching business with his wife. Finding time for romance when you are working with your partner so it’s not all work.  Coaching and the real reason people train versus why they think they train.

18 –29  Alek method of training effectively and how to connect everything in your body so you get results.   Tying workouts to what you are working on mentally and emotionally in your life can support your workouts. Our cultural is trained not to talk about our emotions so people use weights to feel free but they still have the problem.  Alek helps you look at what the problem is so once the workout is done you are not still sitting in your emotions and problems.

29 – 42  Creating schedules for self-care and make lists of core values you need. Qualifying core values.  What do you need to be happy? If you don’t’ find things that make you happy then you will be thinking about that when you are coaching people.   Qualify a want and a need.

42 – 50: Looking at your addictions.  People going to their addictions once they feel out of balance.  Replacing addiction with joy. Managing addictions with healthy coping mechanisms.

50 Our body will put things aside until it’s ready to let it out. Giving your body a break when needed.  Looking at belief and are the truth. Beliefs you are running on sometimes aren’t even your truth. The more development you do on yourself you will find that in your coaching or business by attracting those people. Getting firm with who you are. Alek working with people on emotionally level too even when people think it’s the exercise that they needed. Getting down to emotional stress. Listening to your body and letting emotions tress leave.
