Maurice shares how his path through Taoism, Buddhist psychology, CBT, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) & IFS has shaped how he understands the “poly-mind” (many parts), the nervous system & what people are calling a global awakening.

If you are trying to make sense of your own inner world, this conversation gives a grounded, practical way to relate to thoughts, emotions and triggers without shame.

• Maurice’s journey from Buddhist practice and CBT into ACT, polyvagal theory and Internal Family Systems—how East and West describe the same inner processes in different languages.
• The idea of the poly-mind: why we say “a part of me wants X, another part of me wants Y” and how IFS sees these as real, distinct inner parts with their own stories, beliefs & body sensations.
• No bad parts: how protective parts like anger, anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, jealousy or overwhelm are safety mechanisms trying to keep us from emotional pain, not character defects.
• The difference between parts energy vs Self energy & the 8 C’s of Self (calm, curiosity, compassion, courage, clarity, confidence, creativity, connection) to notice when you’re regulated and present in practice.
• How polyvagal theory helps us track when we’re in fight, flight or dorsal shutdown & why “I’m overwhelmed” is often the nervous system going outside its window of tolerance, not a moral failing.
• A simple starting point if you’re in overwhelm: using what you don’t want (e.g. “I don’t want to feel this anxious/jealous/angry”) as a doorway to understand what that part is afraid of and trying to protect.
• The power of witnessing both in relationship and internally: “I see you, I hear you, and you matter” & how this alone can soften anxious, angry or avoidant parts.
• How our inner harmonising of parts and Self mirrors what’s happening on the collective level & why Maurice feels we are in a time of “remembering” who we really are as consciousness having a human experience.
• A reflection on manifestation, story & meaning-making: noticing how the mind creates a story about the past and future, and how freedom comes from seeing we are the ones giving events their meaning.

Key takeaways

• You don’t need to “kill your ego” — your parts formed when there wasn’t enough safety or Self energy available. They’re doing the best they can with the tools they had.
• The work is not to get rid of parts, but to befriend and lead them from Self, with curiosity & compassion.
• Tracking your body sensations (tight chest, solar plexus, lump in throat, shutdown, agitation) is one of the most direct ways to identify which part is up and what it’s trying to do for you.
• Every time you come back to the present moment & drop the judgment-laden story, you’re contributing not just to your own healing, but to the wider collective nervous system.

Dr. Sanjee Xavier is a medical doctor with extensive experience in addiction, mental health, integrative medicine, and cancer care. In this episode, he shares his journey into holistic medicine and how his experiences - ranging from high-altitude trekking to deep-sea diving - informed his perspective on healing and the human body.

Dr. Xavier discusses how foundational elements like proper hydration, breath, emotional regulation, and light exposure play a crucial role in recovery from chronic disease and cancer. He emphasizes the importance of understanding and addressing the root causes of illness, rather than just managing symptoms.

He shares powerful insights into the emotional aspects of healing, the role of trauma in addiction, and the life-giving power of emotions like courage and joy—as explored in Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins. Dr. Xavier introduces the innovative use of biophysical approaches in cancer care, including red and infrared light therapy, oxygen treatments, and body temperature regulation.

Dr. Xavier encourages people to take ownership of their healing journey, seek out the right team of practitioners, and become active participants in their health. This conversation is full of wisdom for anyone navigating chronic pain, emotional health challenges, or complex medical diagnoses.

Take the next step in your healing journey and explore how foundational health, lifestyle changes, and emotional awareness can change your life.
