“What does thriving really mean? Does it just mean eating well and working out? Having the energy to be busy? Or does it mean having the energy to literally create what you want in your life and experiencing the joy in that? Thriving is more of a practice and a constant check-in to make sure you're not going into those old patterns of behavior. Ask yourself why you're doing what you're doing and start to do things more out of joy rather than obligation.” – Allison Pelot

Power Quotes From The Show
[click_to_tweet tweet=”How can we get back to our wholeness within ourselves and have that respect for our bodies, creative expression, and energy? The only way is by doing the inner work and there is a sacredness to that within ourselves. – @allisonpelot” quote=”How can we get back to our wholeness within ourselves and have that respect for our bodies, creative expression, and energy?

The Subtle Energy Body
“The subtle energy body reflects reality in a way that crosses all time in space. It is your intuition and higher self, your inner child and your future self, it is your multidimensional dimensional self. But the key to all of these other multidimensional aspects of yourself is really through the inner child. If you are not acknowledging your inner child's needs first then they will not let you through that gate to everything else. They want to be liberated and they want to play but they cannot do that until you acknowledge them.” – Allison Pelot
You Are Not Your Mind
“The mind is a great tool and if we can acknowledge it as a tool instead of who we are, that's a great first step. The mind is not who you are because the subtle energy body is more of who you are and it uses the mind and the body as tools of perception and reality.” – Allison Pelot
