We now know that we maintain the ability to change or neuroplasticity throughout our lives.

So that's what holistic psychology is, means to me.

It's bridging that gap, understanding the body's role, understanding, of course, the hardware that we're currently operating with, but giving us new options, new choices so that we can create new habits and quite literally transformation from the body up.

It's so funny, I love that.

While I do love Costa Rica and I would love to get my way back there, I actually, I speak more toward daily things that we could do.

I am not admittedly someone who has an active kind of consistent practice of anything.

I don't have the thing I do at the gym every day.

I don't have the yoga practice that I rely on.

My model is more our body is the holder of the wisdom.

So it's a model that's based in awareness where I understand that I spent and I still at times spend not much time in my body at all.

I think my way.

I analyze my way through life.

I worry about what other people want and need instead of dropping in and saying,

What do I need?

The way I used to work when I did individual work, now I work in a community setting and in my membership self-healer circle, the way we talk about change is through daily practices of dropping into our body, noticing how my muscles feel, how am I breathing, how is my heart?

All of these are markers of a body that is either relaxed or relaxed.

stressed.

The more a body becomes stressed, the more our nervous system is likely to send us into those old habits, patterns, overreactions, underreactions, identities that we've relied on.

And so I speak more of more general lifestyle habits, teaching people that you feel well and perform well.

We need to observe what we're doing.
