What potential impact might our thoughts and intentions have on our health, the health of others, and the larger world around us? In this episode, psychologist Traci Stein provides a window into the world of mind-matter interactions ranging from spoon bending to energy healing. She also poses the larger question of, if we know our intentions can affect the material world in some way, what is it we want to envision for ourselves, others, and our planet going forward?

Guilt and shame are emotions that ideally can help us take stock, take responsibility, and do better going forward. Beating ourselves up mercilessly, however, only perpetuates feelings of guilt and shame and gets in the way of growing. In this episode, psychologist Traci Stein discusses the reasons why so many people feel stuck under the weight of extreme guilt and self-blame, and how embracing forgiveness can help us free ourselves to move forward with greater compassion for ourselves and others.
