“Healing the mind is really about integration and in reality, any time we need to go through a healing process it's because there are parts of ourselves that we have divorced ourselves from. There are childhood wounds, there is trauma, there are unresolved emotions that we try to divorce ourselves from and try and bypass which creates a lot of stress in the body and the psyche. The healing process is really bringing those parts home; bringing the wounded child home and resolving this trauma or that relationship.” – Greg Schmaus

- Dr. Gabor Maté

Power Quotes From The Show
[click_to_tweet tweet=”‘What is your dream, what is your purpose, what is it that you really want to create for yourself? When you have a dream, you have a purpose. You have some sort of objective and an inner compass.' – Greg Schmaus” quote=”‘What is your dream, what is your purpose, what is it that you really want to create for yourself? When you have a dream, you have a purpose. You have some sort of objective and an inner compass.' – Greg Schmaus”]
Heart Chakra Healing
“The moment that people have had enough, they realize that they need to realign themselves or they feel like they're going to split in half. The healing process will then focus on stacking the head and the heart on top of each other through the expression of using your voice. What's between the head and the heart is the throat so how you express yourself and your needs and your values as well as how you set healthy boundaries and live fully in alignment with all of that is one of the most important pieces for healing. People are sick because they've given themselves away so much; they've fragmented, they've divorced, they've wounded themselves out of the fear.” – Greg Schmaus
Moving Past The Crisis Mindset
“What is your dream, what is your purpose, what is it that you really want to create for yourself? When you have a dream, you have a purpose. You have some sort of objective and an inner compass. When you know what direction you want to go in and what you want to create for yourself, you no longer have interest in creating what you were before which was your crisis.” – Greg Schmaus
Pain: The Catalyst For Growth
“The pain teacher utilizes crises as an opportunity to awaken your consciousness and to grow yourself. Pain is a feedback mechanism. Pain in the body is mirroring back to you your choices, behaviors, and belief systems that are no longer serving you.” – Greg Schmaus
