    Limitless appreciation to everyone watching this. 🙏🧠

    I enjoyed the discussion of "places" (starting around minute 9:00). Instead of places on the body, I used rooms in my childhood house (and if needed any other buildings where I was very familiar with the layout). I started using the techniques as a college senior approaching a test for which I had 57 pages of notes and the professor said the question would consist of ONE question. I used the technique through four graduate programs with no grade lower than an A. It works!

    I’m a psychic medium and I wonder what his opinion is of being able to predict using the brain. I dont use tarot or any divination tools but my clients always wonder how I’m seeing and picking up things that aren’t observed by the eye or found of them anywhere online. Also I also watch reality shows and some shows like bridgerton to disconnect my brain. It’s the only time my brain will disconnect versus when I am working out or actually working with a client, or working on content etc

    Hey Erika, love your channel! Thank you for your content. I am looking for a contract lawyer in e-commerce. Would you be able to help or refer me into the right direction?

    You need to figure out if you are dealing with something that needs help from the Greek Goddess Hygeia vs. Panacea issue. My Brain has been on fire for the past 4 years. Brain fog, fatigue, memory loss, cognitive issues, and I have tried every diet, every lifestyle change, exercise etc (Hygea). But I realized there really needed to be medical intervention and I just was diagnosed with CIRS, caused by biotoxin exposure (innate immune response from any exposure to fungi) Medicine corrected this (Panacea). If the lifestyle / diet etc. is still not helping, dig deeper!

    Plus... Jim tends to get OFF TRACK A LOT. For this reason, he's not comfortable to listen to. 😢 He could actually stand to learn how to be more organized in his thoughts and "speeches." Lol. 😉
