The interview

What brought you to 40 Years of Zen?

My life was great, but I felt like I needed to go up to the next level and upgrade to a higher level of understanding of myself. I've been practicing different types of self-embodiment and self-work for 30 years, but I wanted to experience the transformation of getting 40 years of meditation in one week.

What made you say yes to the program?

What made me say yes was the relationship I've had with Dave over the years and the fact that the technology is available to help retrain our brain. This is a more intensive brain mapping and brain training program that continues six to eight months even after you finish the five days.

What did you appreciate most about the program setting?

I appreciated the intimate setting. It was very comfortable in the house, up in the woods in Washington. There was lots of care from the facilitators, the chef, and the organization of how the program is run.

What shifted for you after going through the program?

Self-reflection shifted the most. I realized I was holding in lots of blame, resentment, and judgment towards people for things they had done to me over the years. The program allowed me to understand how my brain had been wired and how to change those wiring and thought patterns when triggers come up.

How do you expect this to impact your life moving forward?

I feel like my marriage is going to be stronger and my connection with my kids is going to be more loving. In business, I expect it to enhance new ideas, perspectives, growth, and innovations. I'm excited about the amount of empathy I'm going to have for the people around me and the appreciation for nature and family.

What is your biggest takeaway from the experience?

The biggest takeaway is understanding myself more and breaking negative emotional patterns. We spend our lives accumulating 'junk' within us and aren't taught how to get rid of it or reprogram it. This program gets to the root cause of why I feel certain judgments or resentment.

Frequently asked

Is it possible to achieve decades of meditation benefits in just one week?

Dr. Edward Group was motivated to join because the program uses technology to retrain the brain in five days, a process that usually takes years. He confirmed that the intensive brain mapping allows for a clearing of multiple levels to enhance performance and meditation much faster than daily practice.

Full transcript

Hi, my name is Dr. Edward Group and I'm shooting this video because a couple weeks ago my life was great, but I felt like I needed to go up to the next level, upgrade to a higher level of understanding of myself and that's why I came here. So after attending 40 Years of Zen, my life right now is very peaceful. I have lots of love in my heart, lots of gratitude, lots of forgiveness. Yeah, I highly recommend the 40 Years of Zen program for transforming your life, your spiritual life, your mental life and your physical life, and really getting to know yourself and upgrading your emotions and feeling that peace, love and joy and happiness that so many people don't have. Before attending 40 Years of Zen, my life was fairly good. I've been on Dave's podcast before and spoke at his Biohacking Conference and been practicing different types of self embodiment, self work for the last 30 years. But I've always wanted to come here to 40 Years of Zen and experience the transformation, really, because I was like, wow, if I can get 40 years of meditation in one week, then I'm pretty excited about that. And what made me say yes to 40 Years of Zen was just the relationship that I've had with Dave over the years. And the fact that the technology is available to be able to help retrain our brain. And it can take us years and years and years and years to do that if we're just working on it day by day. But this is a more intensive brain mapping and brain training program that continues six to eight months, even after you finish the five days. And it's more of a clearing multiple levels to enhance your performance and enhance your meditation, enhance all the different things that you want to accomplish in life. What made me appreciate the program the most was the intimate setting. You know, it was very comfortable here in the house, up in the woods in Washington. Definitely the people there was lots of care, the facilitators, the chef, the organization of how the program is run. Moving forward, I'm most excited about how my brain is going to react to different situations and how I'm going to react emotionally and physically to my life. I'm excited about new ideas, the transformation that I'm going to be going through over the next six months to eight months, and just the amount of empathy that I'm going to have to the people around me and the appreciation and the gratitude and the love of everything, nature and the people that I love, the family members. And so it's going to be really exciting to watch and be aware of the transformation that's going to continue to take place. It's not just five days and then it's over. It's just a continual transformation. Having gone through this program, what shifted the most for me was self reflection, and that I was holding in lots of blame, lots of resentment, lots of judgment towards people for things that they had done to me over the years and such. And that really allowed me to understand how my brain had been wired and how to change those wiring and those thought patterns when those triggers come up. So that was really powerful, being able to get to the root cause of why am I feeling those judgments? Why am I feeling that I have to blame? Why am I feeling resentment sometimes? And going forward, I feel like this will impact my life. Well, multiple aspects of my life. I feel like it's going to my relationship, my marriage is going to be stronger, my connection with my kids is going to be more loving and stronger. I feel like it's going to really enhance my business. As far as new ideas, perspectives, growth, innovations. The biggest takeaway for me is just understanding myself more. You know, going to deeper levels of some of the things that might have caused me to become angry, to cause me negative emotional patterns and breaking those patterns. I think that's the biggest takeaway, because we all spend our whole lives accumulating this junk within us. We aren't really taught how to get rid of it or how to reprogram it. The main reason I would recommend 40 Years of Zen to other people is to take a look at changing the way they think changing the way they feel, changing the way they react to situations around them.
