Highlights from today's episode include:

Dr. Howard Walsdorf As little as we walk today, we put this soft stuff there to even insulate us even further from drawing that earth principle, as I call it, or forced energy that makes that earth element within us, our bones and our sturdiness quotient, less effective.

Dr. Howard Walsdorf But let me say this is that the fascia is a connective tissue, and so from a muscular skeletal system, way of perspective is water, is your ligaments and your connective tissue. From another perspective, in this holistic schematics, these patterns, these principles, keep finding places to show up.

Manon Bolliger 22:56

so if you have the right posture, breathing is a non issue, right? We don't think about it anyways. But if you're in the right posture, it's, it's, I would say, even more automatic, but it goes deeper, right?

it's like we may have aspirations and dreams and they gave us a direction, but at any moment in time where we're still agents of our own destiny, we can still say, wait a minute, now that I really know what it feels like, it's not quite right for me, right and shift it.

Maria Maldonado Smith 08:19

The three questions are, what do I want? Yeah, it's interesting, because a lot of people don't, can't even answer that question for sure. You ask them, What do you want? I don't know. I don't know. The second one is, who do you want to become?

Maria Maldonado Smith I also think that there's something beautiful in abandoning goals that no longer work for us.
