    Bioenergetic Release: Clearing Your Reticular Activating System, Building Confidence, and Breaking Generational Patterns

    In this episode of “Healthy Mind, Healthy Life”, the host Avik is joined by Dr. Cindy Stark, an award-winning author, doctor, entrepreneur, and mentor. The episode begins with some technical difficulties as Dr. Cindy struggles to find the Zoom link for the podcast recording. After resolving the issue, they dive into the main topic of discussion - bioenergy, clearing the reticular activating system, building confidence, and breaking generational patterns.
    Dr. Cindy shares her personal journey of starting an online coaching business while being a full-time doctor. She talks about how she was unable to make progress until she underwent a bioenergetic release trauma healing program. This program, which involves meditative practices and journaling, helped her overcome subconscious barriers and enroll five clients the following year.
    She emphasizes the importance of confidence in achieving personal success and well-being, stating that without belief in one’s abilities, it’s challenging to take the necessary steps towards a goal. Dr. Cindy also discusses the significance of surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals to break free from generational patterns and carve a unique path.
    The episode also delves into the concept of bioenergetic release. Dr. Cindy explains that it involves confronting and releasing negative emotions associated with past experiences. This process, she says, can lead to a ‘reboot’ or ‘factory reset’, enabling individuals to see possibilities without limitations.

She also suggests joining communities of people who are achieving big dreams, such as her Facebook group “Reclaim Your Health and Life”.

She explains that the conscious mind only utilizes 4 to 6% of our brain’s capacity, and to truly achieve change, one must tap into the subconscious mind.
    The episode concludes with Dr. Cindy sharing her contact information for listeners who wish to learn more about her work and the techniques she discussed. Overall, this episode provides valuable insights into overcoming personal barriers and achieving mental clarity and focus.
