I remember going to my first gate 5 years ago. I was excited and nervous because I had heard about it from people yet really had no context as to what was about to happen. Donny did a demo for everyone and I sat there and thought “WTF”! My mind couldn’t really comprehend what I was seeing or feeling at that moment. My father had just died a few days before and my mother also a three months prior and while I presented as if everything was fine I was completely overwhelmed with profound sadness that I was no allowing myself to feel. What you are not seeing in this video is context. You are seeing clips of a gate but without context it can be hard to understand. That first gate changed my life. Donny helped me get in touch with the profound sadness I was experiencing. Not run away from it but actually feel it. Throughout the gate that sadness transformed into a deep love and appreciate for my parents and family. This is why it is called a Transformational Gate. Since then I have been to many other gates and each one I leave with a deep connection to who I am and my purpose in life. So for those of you who have questions or want to understand more here I am... an example of the what the gate can do for someone. If you are someone that seeks more in their life this work is for you!
I was very excited to get an adjustment from Donny Epstein knowing he was Tony Robbin's chiropractor. I would be lying if I told you that seeing this in person didn't challenge every part of me. I had to fight a lot of internal resistance to get on the table for the first time with Donny having never been adjusted by a Network Chiropractor. If you thought the energy was powerful watching a RU-vid video then you are in for a treat experiencing this in person! I had an adjustment from Donny and words can't really describe how life changing this has been. I have been going to a Network Chiropractor for 5 months and it has really helped me in so many ways. I went to a NUCCA chiropractor for two years prior to meeting Donny and I was more aware of the benefits of chiropractic then most people. My health has dramatically improved and I can feel more, hear more and be in tune with what I used to be unaware of. I have worked through several traumatic events that would have taken a lifetime to resolve in minutes. I now look forward to a bright future as I continue to leave my past behind.
The epienergetics experience is like nothing else I have done in my life. It has enhanced my being, my life and my experience of living my life. My relationships and my very soul are upgraded not to mention my ability to connect with and really be present with a life threatening illness. I have no way to thank Donny and his team enough for opening my perspective so that I can experience my existence fully and for throwing out the challenge to be the most complete and enabled version of me that I can be, for my family, myself and for the world.
I can’t say enough about this work and what it has done for our family over the last 17 years. My nervous system was like “fingernails on a chalkboard” when I found Donny so many years ago. I am so much healthier mentally, physically and emotionally. This work helped save our marriage when we almost didn’t make it and we are better than ever now. Thank God we continued this path! Donny is brilliant and has such a gift helping people turn their pain into their greatest gifts to serve the world and make a positive impact. Thank you for bringing this work to the world!❤️
to the people who have never experienced this work it might seem strange! I thought that when I first saw it being done to someone else. Then when I tried it myself I couldn't believe how it felt like I could feel every cell in my body on a whole other level and the connection it gave me to myself and how it not only turned around my chronic low back pain I had but it also helped me realize why I had chronic back pain and how I had been incongruent in different aspects of my life... anyhow my health concerns resolved and my life became more authentic and so much more has opened up because of Donny Epstein and his work! I really suggest giving it a try and seeing it for yourself. Sometimes we aren't used to seeing people being so open outside of the bedroom and it can freak us out.... this work has also opened up an avatar kind of world experience for me .... anyhow words alone can't describe the benefits myself, my family, my clients have received from this work! check it out!
Thank you for sharing this glimpse into Donny’s work! I've participated in many of Donny's programs and his Network Spinal Analysis care over the past 10 years and have experienced great transformation and growth as a result. I came to NSA in a lot of physical and emotional pain, and through care, learned how to connect with and grow from this, create changes in my life with much more ease, and experience more joy and fulfillment. I understand it must look weird to many. I can only speak from personal experience, and say how grateful I am for what I have learned through NSA and Donny's programs. I also love that these methodologies are all about supporting each individual to connect with their own wisdom, through the body, enabling greater self empowerment. I would highly recommend the curious to look more deeply in to this, and if interested, to find a local NSA doc to discover more and try it for yourself.
I have been under network care for over a year. The changes I have seen as a result of Donny Epstein's work through Dr. Matthew Mancuso are incredible. This video demonstrates what happens during a treatment. It doesn't show the day to day impact that supports openness, joy, courage, possibility. I can't wait to go to the Gate!
This amazing work has energized my life and my families for the last 20 years. So grateful for Donny Epstein and his fantastic Gate program. This video shows a whole range of real and raw human experience and emotion. And the beauty in that.
What an incredible representation of lives changed! I too, first questioned the possibility that a non-invasive touch could perpetuate the movement of energy that transforms our physical and spiritual being. After my first Gate, I was awe-stricken about the impact this experience had on my life. A DO NOT MISS for everyone who wants something MORE.
Beauty really does lie in the senses of the beholder. Thankfully the me from 2002 didn't have the chance to watch this care being delivered or experienced before I ended up on the table myself. It was my own debilitating neck pain that landed me in a doctor's office for help, she just happened to be trained in this method. Before attending my first Gate in 2006 (3 yrs into receiving this care in a doctor's office), I received this piece of advice: "If you can separate conTENT from conTEXT, you will do well." Those words were my mantra at my first Gate in 2006 as I stood in the corner of the room alternating between witnessing the "human zoo" to being a part of it. My parents' generation (the babyboomers) raised in the 50s/60s really did not receive any modeling or education in the emotional language or real ability to experience it's full range. As a child of a generation with no real skill in the emotional lexicon, it has been up to me (us) to develop the skills of emotional connection to both self and other. Had I seen this in my 20s as a typical Type-A, I would not likely have paid to get on a table and try it. Thankfully life experience landed me on a table. My dramatically improved quality of life, integrated sense of self with a new ease of flow in life were results that spoke for themselves. The version of me watching this video today appreciates the ability of the film crew (and Topaz specifically) to portray the pure moments of life moving in way that moves me.
Thank you Skin Deep team for a most brilliant, outstanding job sharing this unique, extraordinary, life changing experience with the world!!! When I saw this application for the first time, it looked very weird to me and I had no context for it . . . until I had my first personal experience. And it was the most unique "OMG" experience, totally beyond my mind, just freaking awesome, beyond anything I had ever experienced so far and it was even far beyond my imagination at that time. Nowadays, I even can't imagine how I lived my life before; once the energy flows and you can consciously and efficiently access and use energy and information life effortlessly unfolds! If you are interested in the effortless flow of life, the experience of the Gate is for YOU!
Brillant ! Having been to Transformational Gates and in Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) care for several years, I must say that this is a breath-taking film.Thank you for this. For those who are confused or appalled at what you are seeing, know that the people who are receiving this care in the film probably had somewhat similar reactions until they got on the table and experienced the work for themselves. Like the ineffable mysteries of the universe, this is work that you must experience for yourself. Thank you Skin Deep for showing NSA in this way. It is truly beyond words. The only word that I can think of that might come close to describing it is "love."
Thanks for shining a light on something so amazing yet not well known. I’m so glad I gave this a real chance a few years ago. It has been absolutely life changing and I’m so grateful to Donny and this community. Seeing other people go through this experience through this video is truly heartwarming and inspiring.
This video is not for everyone, and that's okay. Watching this requires that we lean into discomfort. Being invited into such an intensely intimate space gets uncomfortable. It was not easy to watch, but it was rewarding. The most engaging part was the conversation over lunch, and then seeing the work the couple did in the space. I feel I was given a wide scenic view of the landscape, but only glimpses close up. It would have been useful for me to see, one families'/couples' journey through the process or weekend. I think more viewer/commentators would have been more empathetic to the work, had they seen it through such a personal lens. That being said, thank you for being such bold storytellers, and pushing boundaries. It is your ability to traverse such intimate spaces that keeps me watching.
BrythingRoom thank you for your feedback. Duly noted. Definitely a good suggestion. Maybe for another film/topic. But totally get it, and agree with you, that may be a more helpful way of bringing people into the experience. We appreciate your honesty and reflection. Definitely when confronted with things that push us into discomfort makes one push away. So we thank you for leaning in and seeing the value in the exploration we do at The Skin Deep. Thank you.
Thank you Donny for your contribution to me and my family, for your dedication to researching and evolving the work and for what you enable for the world. My Love and Deepest Gratitude
I have been to personal development events all over the world, and Donny Epstein's technologies is beyond anything I have ever experienced. My girlfriend and I attend as many of his Gate programs as we can both on the west coast and east coast in the US. We also were blessed to be able to attend his Gate program recently in Italy where my girlfriends family traveled from France and we all experienced transformation together. This video is great, but experiencing this first hand is extraordinary!
What an incredible film. The level of emotional engagement, joy, passion, love and community that you showed is beyond extraordinary. The energy of it can be felt thru the screen. Keep up the amazing work!!!!
I have been attending these events for 15+ years. They are unlike any thing else I have been to or experienced. If I saw this film with no context, I too would ask WTF? This 13 minute capture is both brilliant and approximately 1/2 of 1% of the 48 hour program. There will be as many different reactions to it as there are people who see it. Each one right for the person that has it. The Transformational Gates have had an incredibly positive impact on Me and My Family. We are closer, stronger, more connected and more capable of showing and sharing our love for each other and others than we would be without them. If that sounds similar to something you would like in your life, check it out. Worse thing that can happen is you find a path that doesn’t work for you. If it doesn’t work for you, no problem. Hope you have found, or will find, Your way. Given the many different ways people and cultures define and celebrate higher purpose and knowledge, it’s unlikely anything is for everyone. The good news is that nobody else has to be wrong for your way to be right! Blessings.
Donny Epstein has cared for myself and my family for 30 years. The mind alone cannot understand what is happening. Donny's work has helped me and my family evolve and deal with difficult times.
Brilliant! The artistry in capturing the many faucets of emotion and experiences without much spoken word is extraordinary. EpiEnergetics methodologies are like no other - and as such the experience is like no other. Bravo!
The first time I saw this performed I was very skeptic and thought I was watching a "magic show". That was almost 3 years ago now. I have been going to a Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) chiropractor ever since that day. Donny Epstein, EpiEnergetics, and NSA are some of the most amazing techniques to live a more effortless life. The impact this will make to your life in physical, emotional, mental, health, spiritual, and many other ways are too many to list. Step forward and experience this with a little faith and see how you too can live an Extraordinary life!!!
Donny’s work is truly extraordinary. Having had the opportunity to experience it, I’ve found it to be empowering, uplifting and creating a greater experience of connectedness and wholeness that starts to become part and parcel of everyday life. Everyday life then becomes extraordinary, I feel more connected and more aware and appreciative of the beauty and majesty of life. Would I want to live life ordinarily and be part of the ordinary? Sometimes, that might be comfortable, fitting in and all that. But the extraordinary feels real, and life just gets better and better. Thanks Donny for bringing extraordinary into the world and into people lives! It looks crazy. And as Jimi Hendrix said, “craziness is like heaven”.
I see the lack of context as a good thing. It forced me to connect to my feelings and not try to rationalize everything i was seeing. The more uncomfortable this type material makes people the better IMO. Its ok to be confused, but do a little more research before you dismiss it. There's solid science behind this process and you don't hear people who have experienced it doubting or crying foul. Amazing film work. Thank you Skin Deep
This work is so powerful. Mind and heart opening, you’ll never be the same again. Thank you for creating such a beautiful representation of it Skin Deep!
This will be very hard to understand for many by just looking at it but once you get on the table it becomes organically right in every cell of your body and beyond. For those who want to understand it better just get on a table. Network Spinal Analysis practitioners are all over the world. You will not be the same after that. Thank you Danny for this amazing work 🙏🏼
Some things in life can be thought through and reasoned. Others simply need to be experienced. The Gate is one that needs to be experienced. Life altering stuff. If it looks confusing it’s simply because you haven't yet had a life experience comparable to it.
I wish to effectively blame Donny Epstein for hijacking and messing up many of my failing strategies that were previously limiting my life and keeping me playing small. Donny has helped me to reconnect to the part of myself that was born to shine, give more and be more and my personal life and work has flourished because of that. If you've been to an event or have just watched the video, you can see that the participants are people who come from different cultures, faiths and beliefs and walk away changed. The Gate is not a bucket list item to check off. This is a portal to the best version of yourself.
You are genuinely one of my favourite youtube channels, so know that this comes out of love. REALLY wasn't into this. The topic at hand seems totally interesting but this video gave literally no information as to what they were trying to achieve. I wanted to know more, whether that is from interviews with the participants - or even just a little background as to what's going on. I love your videos because they are real, honest and relatable. Hope too see more of that content - even if it's in a different format than usual. All the best for 2018!
Thank you Amy Jane Lake for this feedback. We found this to be something we've never seen before and wanted to capture it in an objective fly-on-the-wall manner.. Not wanting to explain. Just to show. Raising questions more than giving answers. Sorry you didn't enjoy it but do appreciate you taking the time to let us know.
I totally get it. My reaction to the video probably says more about me than it does about the video. I tend to like things more when I can find an explanation or answer questions as you said. I suppose I usually enjoy things more when I feel I can understand them. But I do appreciate you branching out and trying new things. You can't please everyone so you might as well go for it! Can't wait for the new season of The And by the way :)
This is pretty mysterious, even when you're attending one, as I have. It's hard to put in words (my husband & I have been getting sessions for about 2 years) but one take is Network Chiropractic helps the physical body in order to access more energy and allow connection/expression of one's soul/spirit...I love it!
Thank you Amy Jane Lake for being so kind and open. Even members of our team don't fully understand what happens in this kind of work but that didn't keep us away from documenting it in an objective manner and sharing it with our audience. Thanks for engaging with it and with us. :) and yes we are super excited about the upcoming ANDs for Winter/Spring Season!!!
Thank you Donny for your amazing care for me and the whole family! To everyone who are confused, dont understand and so on..... EXPERIENCE is the answer! Find your local NSA practitioner and/or sign up for the next GATE :-)
I wondered how people would respond to seeing this work without any context. Much of what you see in this video doesn't happen the first time someone gets on the table. It's a well researched learned response that develops and advances through a persons course of care. I almost wish there was no talking or explanation in the video, just the spectrum of raw human emotion stored int he body being processed in real time. But it would probably end up looking even more orgasmic without the small amount of explanation here. I think it's a good video. What a challenging event to create a short from and you've done a good job of it
I have personal experiences with the work of Donny Epstein. I’ve also gone to the Gate. It’s very different (I know lol) yet powerful. My body and life have improved because of the work.
To claim the Extraordinary, often we must experience the commonly unheard, unfelt, and unknown. This short is a glimpse into a world where the Extraordinary is celebrated and cultivated for the purpose of a more healthy, vital, conscious, and loving humanity. Yes - it looks weird - especially because magic and rhythms and energy require a largely pre and/or post rational awareness. Our society - in its love of technology and phones, media, news, etc is centered around the mind....yet our most sacred experiences are never central to the mind, but to the heart. ✨💖✨ I would like to add, for those rational minds - whose Soul embers have also been fanned - who may skeptically yet be hoping that this is real - that it IS real! I’ve been to more than a dozen transformational gate weekends over the past 18 years. This work has transformed my life, the value and impact I’ve been able to make in my family, clients and community, and it’s transformed, inspired, uplifted, and brought immense value to thousands of people - hundreds of which I have personally witnessed and known. My hope is this film will wet the appetites of those ready to experience and ignite even MORE passion, joy, integrity, and love into the fabric of humanity, and will inspire many to seek EpiEnergetics & Network Spinal Care, attend a Transformational Gate, and be part of the change we wish to see in the world!
What a beautiful film that captures what it’s like to attend this event. However nothing beats having the real experience of being worked on by Donny and the other network practitioners. This was a really remarkable experience.
This program is such a great experience which is beyond the words. So much love, passion, and joy! Just be open to everything new! Thanks for an outstanding movie!
Everyone needs to experience this, it is life changing and amazing and is his is coming from someone who is super analytical. Donny has changed my life
It has changed my life in all aspects and it is most wonder-full, extraordinary, life changing highly energizing, uplifting experience in all areas of life!!! Do not judge by the look and your perception based upon your cultural conditioning, allow for a most exquisite, exciting personal experience!!!
So awesome that the power of the Transformational Gate is now online for anyone to see. Network care has totally changed my life and I am so proud to be part of this awesome movement!
Thank you for filming this. It left me in an awe of its absolute profoundness. Being able to witness something so intimate and unearthly is simply amazing.
feel the video ... some things in life it is easier to not understand but to feel it ! then the mind does get curious and wants to find out more and that is great also! this work has changed my life... opened up reality in ways I had no idea existed
Dr 🌹 ROSE...Chiropractor Austin, TX. 4:30 has trained under Donny for years. She is sitting to the left. She is a true Angel. She will always be my Chiropractor.
As A Chiro, I stand in Awe of what Donnie has accomplished. I never did much with network beyond a seminar or two, but anytime its applied to me it has left me speechless.
Jennifer Bradley thank you for your comment - A common sentiment in these comments we are well aware. For more info feel free to go to www.epienergetics.com/thegate We sought out to make an objective observational documentary, to create the space for you to view what was happening and decide for yourself. So instead of explaining it, we wanted to share the experience people were having. And for more info, we thought it was best to leave that to Donny and his team at EpiEnergetics to explain in their own words.
The Skin Deep I understand more clearly that y’all’s objective was to let us have an experience rather than an explanation while watching this. I would love to see more videos like these, but with an explanation beforehand so “us” as the audience aren’t as confused because we’re uneducated on the subject!
its crazy how people believe this but when it comes to God its so hard for them to believe in. I know in Christianity we have something similar. Its called a divine touch by the HOLY spirit.
I’ve experienced both. They’re both real sometimes, and fake sometimes, but when you get the real deal with either - don’t even bother holding on to your seat, it’s not slowing the ride down
Thanks Kaylez. Much appreciated. We didn't want to create a piece that made you feel one way or the other. We found it to be on the edge of our understanding and in our Threshold series we want to share that with others in an objective manner and leave the idea of how to feel about it up to you.
I have had Network Care done by Dr Brian Lumb who is in this film (he is amazing), and it is something that needs to be experienced to really understand and know. I am a filmmaker too, and I can see this could be a difficult subject to film.(The visuals are great) I know you didn't asked for feedback on the edit, but more context / narration is needed to better understand what Dr. Epstein is doing. Because I have had this work I better know what is happening, but to the uninitiated with this work it can look like voodoo spell stuff. If I had never had this work done before I would not know what is happening nor the benefit of it after watching this. Why are peoples bodies moving/undulating? What is happening with the different points of touch? What is the deeper thing/work that is happening here? More is needed in your film to better know this amazing work. Looking at most of the comments here there is confusion and doubt. I would have stopped watching early if I didn't know this subject matter. My 2¢. All the best to you all!!!
I've worked with several network care practitioners for a long time and my experience is never this visceral. sometimes I wonder if anything is happening, despite great overall shifts. My practitioners don't talk through these things as I would find valuable, is it a function of their training? or is Donny truly and individual and channeling messages from the human field?
All these comments are so dumb. This is ENERGY WORK. Everything on Earth is connected through energy. All you have to do is focus it and understand it. That's what he is doing. Moving and transforming energy.
It's quite easy to look at this and think that it's total bullshit but it changed my life. The connection between our bodies and our spirit is so real. Our bodies are like fine-tuned Aston Martins but most people think of them like beat up Toyota Corollas. Find a network practitioner and change your life! Ya heard!
This is hypnotism and is all about emotions doesn't work unless you allow yourself to belief it, just like religion. Its pretty much a meditation that religions use to get the spiritual feeling they crave
Well this is beautifully shot and very interesting to watch, but barely nothing is explained. I didn't get what he was doing, it all just looked like very esoteric weird stuff. Would have been nice to be given some context and explanation to how and what was happening.
😂 its a new religion. Hard to expect that katolic church will go forever. People need it. Most of people need reconnection and thats more than enough for then to break resistance.
Reminds me of Joe Dispenza. I mean.. ofcorse it works. There is no random people there. These peps needs something. Reconnection, touch, attention, trust, open heart. This is not magic. But they decided for that and its ok. They could also go to joe dispenza, or thai osteopath or Wim hoff or holotropic breatwork or smth. They also have to break and believe. They must want it. If someone doesnt believe, they will work on him („help him to break resistance”;))
This demonic mess is nothing short of evil, it's scary the way people will follow anything. I pray these lost souls are delivered from this deception and seek Jesus who is the answer for the world.
I wonder how much this guy charges for this. Looks very similar to kundalini healing work that my friends do. I’ve experienced Kundalini energy work and have my chakras balanced and this looks like the same thing.
Can you please provide an explanation of what this is? I really like your content and open minded about things not in my comfort zone. This is my first complaint of you guys and it's not about the content but about lack of explanation. It would be much appreciated if you can actually provide an explanation of what it is we're watching because we would actually like to know - instead imposing of random clips and quotes like 13 year old kid's tumbler feed, otherwise it feels like such a waste of time and total gibberish. Not up to your usual standard and definitely lost a bit of respect, c'mon guys. What a waste of time waiting for SOME kind of EXPLANATION.
wickandde totally hear you and sorry to disappoint. We sought out to document in a nonjudgmental, objective, observational manner. Just to show what was happening. By venturing into 'explaining' what was happening we felt took us out of the position of being objective. Much like THE AND, THE DIG, THE WINDOW and our other experiences, we are really focused on creating the space to witness human experience in as raw and real way as possible. Sometimes by venturing to explain it, the storyteller ends up shaping the experience being had. Instead we like to show what is happening in as clean and unfiltered way as possible. Such that we leave it to you, the viewer, to decipher the meaning for yourself. We know that in this context we are really pushing that boundary as it does look quite incredible. But that is what the Threshold series is focused on - Exploring the edge of human connection and communication. For more information about their work feel free to go to www.epienergetics.com/thegate and decide for yourself. We respect your time and attention so thank you for this feedback, and thank you for trusting us enough to give us 13 mins of your time.
The Skin Deep I appreciate you guys reaching out and the detailed response. You still fail to comprehend that your method feels like evangelical baiting even though it isnt, so people's reactions will be thus. Further to that, there's 2 problems with your perspective. Firstly the average viewer does not have time to go and search on random subjects, I usually watch you guys on my commute and never click on anything beyond 4/5 mins - the exception being trusted youtube channels that unfailingly deliver satisfying content, although probably won't be clicking on your videos if this continues. 2. Us - the viewers - reading content from their website is still subjected to a lot of bias considering it's written by the source. Unless someone is really jobless no one will have time to do that or will have other things they'd rather be reading and asking us to go to a website to research on it AFTER watching a 13 minute clip is massively arrogant. If you insist on us getting this info from the source why don't you ask the source to provide an explanation in the video and just make these pointless clips of repetive video shorter. From my professional and personal life I will say that Time is a luxury so don't risk on viewers wasting it, it never ends well because nothing absolutely nothing pisses people off like wasting their time.
