If you really want to search for more, to break through the conditioning, to find out how beautiful this planet is and the energies and the nature of yourself, then you are ready.

It's already inside and we just need to apply it to this and consciously then the neurology changes and then we are able not only to increase our performances and because we master and control the physiological depth of ourselves, but we also get a sense of spirituality and beginning to understand the real purpose of life.

That's the gift, that's the real thing, right? It is, it is.

The purpose of our being is really making the soul a scent to expand consciousness.

That's the Iceman Wim Hof and this is part one of a very special Best of 2016 edition of the Retroll Podcast.

And thank you very much. Before we get into what I feel is a very compelling and exciting episode, let's take care of a little business.

Today's episode is brought to you by my good friends at Headspace.

If you're a long time listener to this program, then you probably recall that I had an amazing conversation back in April of 2015 with Headspace co founder Andy Puttacom.

He's just an incredible extraordinary human being. And we talked about strategies for managing, navigating, and overcoming common problems.

So many of us experience like fear, anxiety, stress, sleeplessness, you get the picture. And I don't know about you, but I've experienced all of these things.

I struggle with all of these things. And over the years, I've been told how much meditation could help me. In fact, there's a whole mountain of science out there showing the positive effects of meditation.

And mindfulness. So I'd give meditation a try for a spell, but for whatever reason, I just couldn't make it stick. I really struggled with consistency.

And it wasn't until I began experimenting with Headspace that I was really able to find a rhythm, establish a consistency, and experience all the very real and very positive benefits that come over time that everybody had been telling me what happened with a solid meditation practice.

So all you have to do to avoid the trajectory that I was on is just download the Headspace app, which provides guided meditations you can use whenever you want, wherever you want on your phone, computer, or tablet.

It's meditation made simple. It's 1% of your day that can change the other 99. So download the Headspace app and train your mind for a happier, healthier life.

All right, you guys. So it's that time of year again. It's the time of year for gratitude, for giving back, for celebration, and of course for reflection. And this week on the show, I'm doing all of these things. I'm giving thanks to you guys. I'm expressing my gratitude and reflecting back on this journey that we've all taken together over the course of 2016.

It's been an absolutely amazing year. I've had extraordinary guests. The audience continues to grow and get more and more engaged with this podcast. And I'm just so grateful for your support for everything that I have experienced. And I hope that you guys have gotten a lot out of this program as well.
