I am so glad to welcome you to another Fabulous addition of Live Love, Engage. Yeah, there I said it. It's gonna be fabulous. I just know because I've already been having a wonderful conversation with today's guest who is Dr. Susan Corso. So first off, I wanna welcome you to Live Love, Engage. Thank you so very much, Gloria. I'm glad to be here. Yeah, and this is gonna be an interesting conversation. I know it's one I've been looking forward to for a while. So let me tell you all about who Dr. Susan is. She is a metaphysician. An Intuitive and an author of both fiction and nonfiction. She has had a spiritual consulting practice for over 40 years, and her latest nonfiction are the eight energy integrity workbooks, which teach applied practical knowledge of how your chakras reflect your past. How they can be changed in the present and how to use your own human energy system to create your future. And so right there is why I was like, Ooh, I want her on the show. Cause it's like, this is right up my alley. I'm fascinated by chakras. And so I thought we would start right off the bat with, uh, you sharing a little bit about what got you interested in exploring chakras. Knowing all about them. Well, uh, I worked in a medical center for many years as a, as the head of spiritual and energy medicine. And that happened because I knew a doctor who, when he would get stuck with his patients, he would put me on speakerphone in his office and he would say, Can you tell me what's going on with Gloria, Right? I knew Gloria's name. Yeah. And Gloria was sitting there listening to me on the speaker, but that's all I knew. I didn't know what he thought. I didn't know how old she was. I didn't know anything about her. And I would tune into her body and I would start to talk about energy and how it was moving and what was happening. I would say to him, “Well, you have diagnosed this, but the real problem isn't in her knees. The real problem in her knees is emotional and the emotional problem in her knees is because of this.” And once you, once you, we clear up the abuse that's stuck in her knees, then her gut is gonna calm down. Mm-hmm. But most doctors don't think like that. Well, every single time he called and he did it for years, I was right. Not surprised. And I, and I, it was, it was a little uncanny actually, to be sitting and writing and then out of the clear blue sky, have your phone ring and say, Can you tell me what's wrong with this person? Uh, maybe, but what the chakras actually are is this, Let's go backward. When a doctor goes to medical school, they study 11 systems. Skeletal system, circulatory system, respiratory system. Well, something makes that circulatory system circulate and yes, of course it's the pump of the heart, but it's a little more than that, and something makes that respiratory system respire. It's a little more than that. I would call that the life force. Hm. The chakras are the life force seen through a prism and how they are distributed. The major ones in your body are on the inside of your spine, and they're not like. Most people view them as hockey pucks against your spine. No, that's not what they are. They're three dimensional spheres and they turn and they move and they. The colors get brighter and lesser, and it just depends on what's happening in a person's life. And those chakras generate your aura. Which is the energy that surrounds your body and everybody has it, whether you can see it or you can't. I can prove it to anyone by taking my palm and interrupting their own energy on their own hand. And everybody feels it. Even the people who don't believe in energy, they go, Huh, that was hot. Well, yes, because everybody has energy and, and I say that and we're all sensitive to it to a degree. Because every one of us has walked into a room and gone, Oh, people have been fighting here. I gotta get outta here. Right? Yep. So chakras began to be a language for me to express. The invisible part of what was happening to a body and for my money. 11 is not a mystical number. 12 is a mystical number, and so the 12th system that's missing from the body is the human energy system. everybody has one. What we don't know though, Gloria, which is so horrifying, is A, that we have it B, that we can manage it. C, that it's useful. Mm. Yeah, it is, it is weird that we don't really comprehend that and, and that that doctors still really aren't, I, I think, well, I would say I think some doctors are, be, are aware of it, but I think it's still not necessarily being taught in medical school. So I think it's things that they have to pick up elsewhere. And I mean, cuz you, you think about it. Who, who is it that is talking right now? You know, where is that energy coming from? It's, it's, you know, it's not, it's not really my brain. So there is something, and, and as you said, we are all made of energy. We are not physical beings. None of us, Nothing in this world is physical. We're all molecules or atoms that are moving so fast depending on the speed that, that's how we can see them. Before we go back into a little bit more of the chakras though, I wanna go back a little bit farther because, so how did you, what was energy like, has this always been something that you had this gift of being able to, you know, you know, be able to diagnose people over the phone? No. I was, I was an intuitive from the time I was quite young and I spent 20 years avoiding it because as so often when you are intuitively sensitive, the things that you're sensitive to are the bad things. Right? You know when someone's gonna die, you know when there's gonna be a problem, you know? Cause the negative energy that people experience we feed. So it's much, much larger than. Oh, you're gonna get a hug at the end of the that aisle in the grocery store. You know, So there's that and. Essentially when I was 25, a friend of mine gave me a reading with a psychic for my birthday. She knew my name and she knew my birthday, and I walked through her door and she said, Oh my God, you should be reading for me. Wow. I said, I said, What? So one of the things she said in that reading was that I was a color healer in Egypt. Okay, so my eyeballs dinged right off the ceiling. There were holes, you know, like what? Anyway, I was meeting a friend for dinner. It was my 25th birthday, and after I was telling her about this and after dinner, she said, Well, we're right around the corner from East West Books, which is on Lower fifth Avenue in New York. Why don't we go and look for color healing books and see if there's anything to this. Right. So off we go to the bookstore because I, I, you can't keep me from a bookstore, you know, I, books, I love books, so, Okay, I'm good with that. We walk into this bookstore, we ask where there are books on color healing and the guy points me to the back and she and I, both of us are named Susan, stand in front of this bookshelf and five books start to fall. And, and, and one of them hits me in the forehead and I turned to Susan and I said to her, Did, Did, did you? Yeah. So we buy the books, and we get on the train to go home and I'm about halfway through the first one, maybe two hours later, and I say to her,...
