## Resource

Hey, Heal Squad! Today, we’re diving into something Maria discovered recently and became completely fascinated by: The Gene Keys. And if you’ve never heard of them before, don’t worry, we’re starting from the beginning! The Gene Keys founder Richard Rudd joins Maria to explain what they actually are, how this whole system of self-discovery came to him, and why he believes so much of the wisdom we spend our lives searching for outside of ourselves may already be living inside us. And of course, Maria had the same questions you probably do: Is this like astrology? A birth chart? Human Design? Listen to Richard explain how it's different and why the things we struggle with most may actually be hiding some of our greatest gifts. He also gets into how conflict can contain the path to peace and why our trauma and shadow patterns could be connected to our own unique genius. We also get into the art of contemplation and how it can help us stop looking for someone else to tell us who we are and start reconnecting with our own inner wisdom. So if you’ve ever found yourself searching for answers about who you really are, why certain patterns keep showing up in your life, or what you’re supposed to take away from the hard stuff, this conversation may give you a completely different way to look at it all.And let’s just say, this is the PERFECT conversation to kick off everything we’ll be exploring at the upcoming Heal Squad Retreat at Canyon Ranch as we all work on finding our own guide back to ourselves. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Your Shadow May Be Hiding Your Greatest Gift: Richard explains that the patterns and struggles we want to escape may actually contain the seeds of our creativity, wisdom and unique gifts. Stop Searching Outside Yourself for the Answer: Gene Keys isn’t…
