We are not our ruptures. We are the loving awareness that the rupture is existing within and when we can tap into our spacious awareness and view the rupture through our loving hearts, it transcends it, it shifts it, it helps it amalgamate, and move the timeline from this rupture that's three years old that's angry at the world into this adult who knows better. - Samantha Skelly

Power Quotes From The Show You Are Your Own Healer

"You are doing the work, you are doing the medicine, and you have this incredible innate power to heal and empower yourself so that you can empower others. I'm not empowering you; I'm not God, I'm not Jesus. You are doing the work yourself and that's just a beautiful thing that I think anyone can get amongst." - Samantha Skelly

Create Your Own Freedom

"We are all wanting freedom so what if we could create an internal climate of freedom? That way we don't think that we need to fight for our freedom; it's just available for us." - Samantha Skelly

Observing Your Triggers From The Heart

"When I bring myself into my heart and I view my trigger from my heart, I'm viewing it from the lens of the heart so that I'm not in it. So, when we hold that spaciousness, we know that we're not going to identify with it but observe it. Then, we have the intelligence and the wisdom to know what it actually means." - Samantha Skelly
