Twenty-six years ago, a chiropractor sitting in her first meditation class was transported into a field of light ten times brighter than the desert sun. Dr. Sue Morter, bestselling author of The Energy Codes, joins Tami Simon to map the energetic architecture behind that kind of awakening, and how the rest of us can build the inner circuitry to access it on purpose, not by accident. Dr. Sue earned her doctorate of chiropractic more than 40 years ago and has spent decades developing a body of work in bioenergetics—the study of how energy flows through, builds, and heals the body. She's the founder of the Body Awake School of Yoga and the Morter Institute, an internationally recognized speaker, and the author of the new book The Anatomy of Awakening, which maps five additional energy centers beyond the familiar seven chakras.

Listen in for a guided practice you can use the next time you feel triggered, overwhelmed, or ungrounded. Dr. Sue uses a number of visual aids throughout this conversation, so this is a great one to watch rather than just listen to.
