Bullying Story

• When asked about a story to share, David Weigert spoke about how he has never been bullied because of the vibe he puts out. He attributes this to his trust in God and his practice of seeking forgiveness and forgiving others quickly to avoid generating negativity. He mentioned his struggle with road rage while driving and how he took a training to calm himself down by using techniques like deep breathing.
• However, David's revelation came when he started shaking about nine years ago to relieve his back pain. He noticed that our bodies are made up of trillions of cells, and the shaking increases wave activity within the body, similar to how waves propagate during natural disasters like tsunamis. This increased wave activity brings changes and nutrients to the body and washes out toxins.
• David also mentioned an example of using waves to prevent freezing in a whale rescue operation. He sees the importance of waves in our bodies and considers himself a “guinea pig” for his own practice. He hopes to study this further in the future.
