How to Self-Heal for Real


Listen Later

We are never really present in our lives because we are lost in mental chatter. Join Margaret as she discusses how to self-heal for real by overcoming past trauma, connecting with nature and being present in our lives rather than living in the past.
KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • Trees and human beings are close-knit. They play a vital role in our lives and have been with us throughout our whole life. It's impossible to think about our life and our existence without trees.

  • We are never really present in our lives because we are lost in the mental chatter of our unconscious thoughts with limiting beliefs that prevent inner healing from our traumas.

Her life was encapsulated in darkness, and she welcomed the thought of dying. From a breakdown to a breakthrough, these words from Viktor Frankl’s book, Man's Search For Meaning, changed her life forever: “The existence of life is to suffer; to survive is to find meaning in suffering.” Once she became aware of this, her life changed, and choose to live each day like it's her last…
