From Healing through Vedic Wisdom & Mindfulness: Swami Omkarananda – Ep.11; “These days the exact Vedic philosophy is nowhere available. It is available in Veda Patasalas, meaning Vedic schools. But for the general public, for laymen, they're called Vedanta. Vedanta is the essence of Vedas, essence of knowledge. And that is divided in three parts. One is called Brahma Sutra, the sutras of Brahman, what are the principles & how to know that. And another is called Upanishads. And the third is Bhagavad Gita, which is widely popular around the world. Bhagavad Gita is considered one of the most powerful books around the world these days. And it teaches how to live, what’s your duty, what to be done, what not to be done, what is your karma…”

Quote from Healing through Connection Parenting: Pam Leo – Ep.7: This happens to be one of our most controversial quotes from this season as of yet, which sparked a debate on YouTube. Some context to the concept of a nuclear family can be found here.

From Healing through Acupuncture & Deep Listening: Ruth Oclander – Ep.10: “I have what's called a God box. Usually trauma comes from a sense of powerlessness that we mistake for helplessness. So we feel that something has happened to us and then our choices get really limited in our mind, because we're having trauma which is fight, flight, freeze. (There are also other responses to trauma, like tending and mending that are starting to be acknowledged). But we start experiencing things that are not traumatic as traumatic. We recruit things. Our prefrontal cortex that's adaptive and self aware, and able to compromise and adjust - we have to bring that back online. So I put things in a God box, let go of it, and then get on with something else. And that something else can be gardening, getting my hands in the earth, looking up at the sky, watching the sunset.”
