"IST gets back to that root of your beliefs, so you can open up that belief that was formed in your life."\n- Bryce Kennedy\nWelcome back to ONKEN RADIO, the podcast where we explore the body, mind, and soul of the creative entrepreneur. It\u2019s my goal to help you take your creativity, business, and life to the next level. I\u2019m so glad you\u2019re joining me on this journey.\n\nMy guest for today is a powerful facilitator of higher consciousness, transformation, and liberation from self-limiting patterns of behavior. He believes that when you tap into the deepest layers of your being, you have the potential to thoroughly and completely resolve long standing patterns, troublesome behaviors, and unhealthy ways of living.\n\nHis name is Bryce Kennedy and he\u2019s a guide for deep transformatioal work via the healing modality Inner Space Techniques (IST). After undergoing his own awakening, Bryce committed to helping others make life-affirming and powerful changes that bring them greater vitality, creativity, and joy.\n\u201cI'm holding the space open so you essentially get to be a part of who you truly are, a part of your true, highest nature. \u2026\xa0 Some people have called it spiritual surgery. Essentially I'm opening up the space and then the person goes to where they need to go.\u201d\n- Bryce Kennedy\nIf you're ready to learn more about tapping into your deepest being, stick around. We're going to learn Inner Space Techniques, how it drove his decision to pursue spiritual development, how you can convert anger into power, and much more.\nWho is Bryce Kennedy?\nBryce Kennedy is a Feng Shui master, meditation instructor, coach, and one of 50 Inner Space Techniques (IST) healers in the country. A self-described former badass lawyer, Bryce serves as a spiritual luminary and facilitates deep transformation for clients across a range of industries and lifestyles. He and his wife Katie Tyson also run an executive coaching business called The Other 50.\nAccessing the Deeper Self for Healing\nWhat causes a corporate lawyer to completely change their life and pursue a life dedicated to inner healing? For Bryce, it was a growing dissatisfaction with a life that had no deeper purpose and that drained him emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.\n\nAs a corporate lawyer, Bryce lived for happy hours and the weekends, struggled with anger issues, and was extremely unsatisfied and stressed.\xa0\n\nHis first IST experience revealed to him that his life path was based on an early childhood wound. He\u2019d failed kindergarten and was in for a second year when his teacher humiliated him for not being able to cut out paper shapes of bats.\n\u201cMy teacher in front of everyone goes, \u2018Boy Bryce, for failing kindergarten, you think you'd be better at cutting bats.\u2019 And it just shattered me. At that moment, I realized two things: One, I was stupid, and two, I would never let anyone think I was stupid again.\u201d\n- Bryce Kennedy\nBryce referred to those early wounds as \u201cSamskara,\u201d which is a word from ancient yogic philosophy. Samskaras are psychological impressions that form the seeds of future behaviors, actions, thoughts, and feelings. They initiate a direction that may last for years or even for a lifetime.\xa0\n\nBryce said that even when we think we\u2019re making conscious life decisions, most of us are still fueled by Samskara \u2014 unconscious patterns of thoughts, reactions, and so on.\n\nIn Bryce\u2019s case, his Samskara led to his overachieving and eventually his decision to be a lawyer. He then adopted the lifestyle of a lawyer \u2014 work hard, play hard, and a mindset of competition and aggression. But once he connected to that deep place of wounding where it all began, he quickly gave up being an attorney and chose to become an IST facilitator instead.\n\nBryce\u2019s work now centers around getting to the root of our problems, the circumstances, and situations that hurt us and then dictated our life path. When we go beyond the conscious mind and access the unconscious,
