Memorable Quotes

"Most people don't even realize that they're not having a lived experience. They're having a psychological experience. Trapped in their thoughts."

"The mind is fast and cold. The body is warm and slow. Living in the mental space creates disease because the body creates inflammation to warm it up."

"Mastery of what I think is the most important thing in the world is learning how to balance these two realms - the mind and the body, when to take action and when to surrender."
