What if the habits that soothe you today are keeping you stuck tomorrow? On The Healing Mindset, host Ria sits with Ray Schloss to explore why healing is a decision, and why it is rarely as easy as we expect.
Ray shares why repeated patterns are often old forms of self-soothing, how to start meditating without forcing your thoughts away, and the simple foundations every healing journey rests on.
About the Guest:Ray Schloss is a Seattle-area musician, meditation content producer, lifestyle and wellness coach and certified hypnotherapist. He spent 17 years at Microsoft before retiring in 2024, and helps teach qigong meditation.
Key Takeaways:- A healing mindset starts with a decision, then daily choices that serve your long-term self.
- Meditation is not switching thoughts off. Start with 30 seconds of stillness and build.
- Many repeated patterns began as ways to self-soothe. Make peace with the root, gently.
- Build on the foundations first: sleep, nourishing food, water and daily movement.
- Choose stillness over another 30 minutes of scrolling.
