Have you ever felt burned out while chasing a dream?
Dr. Alain Salas, the ”Mind Clearing Doctor,” was living the ultimate success – a thriving practice, sailing in the South of France – but inside, he was overwhelmed and exhausted.
This led to a personal collapse that hit his health (getting sick with an early stage of colon cancer!), his marriage (divorce), and his business.
Talk about everything crashing down at once!
Instead of staying defeated, he went inward, and what he discovered became his powerful three-step system for clearing limiting beliefs and creating success without the burnout.
We dive deep into the mind-body connection, why having a personal ”mission in life” is the only true way to avoid feeling lost, and why failure isn't really a thing – it's just a lesson you haven't learned yet.
We also talk about a core concept he uses: the alignment of your Thought (the how), your Emotion/Heart (the why), and your Action (the what).
This is the part that blew my mind: Dr. Salas explains that our conscious mind (where we focus all our effort to solve problems) is only 5–10% of our power, while the subconscious mind is a massive 90–95%!
If you’re struggling to reach a goal, you’re trying to move a mountain with a tiny fraction of your mind.
This conversation is a must-listen if you're ready to stop using only 5% of your power and finally understand how to get that full alignment.
You'll hear us talk about:
- How his personal collapse led to his life-altering Mind Clearing system.
- Why understanding your life's mission eliminates the feeling of ”no motivation.”
- The difference between ”victim mode” and being a ”creator” of your reality.
- His three simple steps (delete, download, manifest) for transforming limiting beliefs into empowering ones.
- A beautiful visual of what ”awakening” feels like when you finally clear the clouds in your sky.
