22. The Yielding Warrior - The Meditative Arts with Jeff Patterson

Face Your Shit, Heal Yourself

In our world today, it doesn’t take much to get stressed out. Just turn on the news, open your calendar, or have a conversation about facing your shit and healing yourself with your western medicine doctor.

Our entire country has been under a tsunami of stress since 2020, where businesses were shutdown & failed, suicides & divorces drastically increased, thousands of people lost their jobs, and many people died. All due to false health mandates & guidelines with "...no science behind them..." Not my words, but the words of a criminally guilty famous doctor whose last name ends in ‘chi’.

People like me and you who knew the truth and saw through the lies were censored, canceled, belittled, deemed a threat by our friends and family, and kicked out of shops and restaurants.

So Where do we go from here?

With stress being at the root cause of most diseases it would be wise to treat it at the source – starting with meditation.

When you see these things more clearly inside yourself, you also start to see them in other people.

Become a yielding warrior with us on this episode, as we discuss all of these topics and more.

Before we dive in, thank you for having the bravery to face your shit and heal yourself.

So who am I and why did I decide to create this show? Well, after unraveling all of the medical & pharmaceutical lies I had been told about my endometriosis, I educated myself, and I was able to heal myself after 17 years of debilitating pain.

My experience inspired me to actually live my art, so I created an ongoing art series about it called, Every Phase––where I powerfully illustrate how I healed myself as I live by the phases of the female hormonal cycle. The artwork shows what's happening in the brain and the body during each phase and reveals how to biohack & leverage this energy in your life.

I am actually living the art, so it's about more than just healing. The writing and art discuss truth, freedom & our current financial & healthcare system slavery–and the way out. Learn more by subscribing at meredithochoa.com

So all of that to say, even though I was lied to for years by big pharma, I was able to find experts who helped me achieve the impossible. This space introduces them to you.

Today we are chatting with former marine, author, martial arts & meditative arts expert, Jeff Patterson.

Based in Portland, Oregon, Jeff has over 36 years of experience, practicing and teaching the meditative and martial arts.

Three decades ago, he founded Northwest Fighting Arts also called Portland Tai Chi Academy, a martial arts haven imparting wisdom to a thriving community of over 25,000 students. Some of his top accomplishments include earning the title of Sifu in Tai Chi and Qigong, fourth-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, becoming a Guru-level instructor in Eskrima, and running one of the biggest martial arts academies in the Northwest. Also, creating two amazing kids who keep him positive.

With more than 30+ years of hands-on experience, Jeff's crowning achievement is his recent literary endeavor, "The Yielding Warrior." This work stands as a testament to his unwavering dedication to the world of meditative arts. In this captivating book, Jeff introduces a fresh and invaluable perspective on life's everyday challenges. Anchoring his advice in the core principle of yielding, he invites readers to explore the transformative power of this principle, offering a priceless resource for those seeking to enrich their lives and cultivate inner strength.

If there is a woman you know who is struggling with period pain, the foundation of how I healed myself began with reading Womancode & In The Flo by Alisa Vitti.
