Harnessing the Power of Belief for Healing with Amy Stein

7/22/2023
In episode 231 of "The Art of Living Proactively," Amy Stein joins the podcast to discuss her personal journey of overcoming chronic illness and harnessing the power of belief for healing. Amy emphasizes the importance of unlearning harmful conditioning and beliefs, trusting one's intuition, and making radical lifestyle changes. She shares her own experiences of questioning societal norms, taking responsibility for her health, and finding what works best for her overall well-being. Amy highlights the significance of integrating mind, body, spirit, and breath to transform one's health. With a focus on individual choice, self-discovery, and holistic healing, Amy offers valuable insights and encourages listeners to prioritize their own well-being and trust their own instincts on their healing journey. Key Points Covered: 1. Quiet the Noise and Listen to Your Inner Knowing: Amy encourages us to quiet the noise and not let others dictate what we should do. By trusting our own choices and taking responsibility for our healing journey, we can truly harness our power of choice. 2. Trusting Intuition and Embracing Alternative Healing Practices: Amy discusses the importance of trusting our intuition, even if it takes practice to connect with it. She explains that meditation can be challenging for some due to past traumas, but finding other ways to connect with ourselves, such as spending time in nature, can be equally effective. Amy shares her own experience of embracing alternative healing practices like traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, which have positively impacted her health and well-being. 3. Prioritizing Individual Well-being: Amy underlines the significance of prioritizing our own well-being and quality of life over societal expectations. By breaking free from childhood wounds and belief systems, we can create a life that aligns with our inner integrity and authenticity. It's crucial to recognize that what works for one person may not work for everyone, and finding what works best for ourselves is key. 4. Uncovering Hidden Health Issues: Amy discusses her own journey of being dismissed by doctors for her health symptoms and finally realizing that the traditional route of Western medicine was not working for her. She sheds light on how various factors, such as exposure to mold in buildings and an imbalanced environment, can worsen health issues. By taking a holistic approach and addressing all aspects of our well-being, including emotional, spiritual, mental, physical, and energetic, we can experience true healing. 5. Reconnecting with Nature and Embracing Sustainable Living: Amy laments the modern disconnection from nature and the abuse of the Earth, which has resulted in a disconnection from ourselves. She encourages listeners to reconnect with the natural world and embrace sustainable living practices. Amy shares tips on foraging, making herbal remedies, and growing our own food as ways to appreciate and respect nature. Conclusion: We hope you found this episode with Amy Stein as inspiring as we did.
