Tweetable Quotes“Basically what I’ve learned is the energy behind what money actually is. And, when we move it from this physical, ‘I can’t have’ paper substance to the understanding that it is energy, then it changes the perspective on how much we can have. And so, for me, my relationship with money has actually blossomed and grown and become this delicious relationship that I’m fully in love with through healing, and through movement, and through energetics.” (09:46) (Sharmeen)
“It is really about connecting with the sensations in the body. And my belief through my years of research and even my own experience is that the subconscious mind, or subconscious programming - the things that are sticky and still holding us in those fear states or any of those high emotional states - lives in your body and communicates with us through the body’s sensations.” (15:42) (Sharmeen)
“Either way, the impact on the psyche and the way the brain is actually formed - and it’s not what the brain thinks, but how it’s formed - it’s the structural beingness of the brain that changes when we experience trauma.” (23:34) (Sharmeen)
“We hear so much about ‘money mindset, money mindset, money mindset.’ It’s drilled into us that we have to have this money mindset and do affirmations and meditations and all these things. But the truth of the matter is that the mindset that we’re trying to change - the structures in the brain - we’re forgetting that it’s also in the body.” (31:28) (Sharmeen)
