Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown — Episode Summary

Episode Title: How Changing Our Core Narratives Changes Our Life! Dr. Sue Morter’s Spiritual Awakening, The Body’s Subconscious Language, and Accessing the Highest Self
Guest: Dr. Sue Morter
Release Date: December 2, 2025

Overview

In this illuminating episode, Mayim Bialik and co-host Jonathan Cohen welcome Dr. Sue Morter, acclaimed international speaker and author of The Energy Codes. The conversation dives deeply into how our subconscious stories, energy fields, and physical sensations reflect our deeper truths—and how changing the narrative at our core can transform our health, spiritual awareness, and daily existence. Dr. Morter shares her profound spiritual awakening, gives a practical breakdown of “energy” and the chakra system—including advanced chakras beyond the traditional seven—and offers actionable strategies for anchoring the mind to the body and accessing one’s highest self.

The episode is rich with insights on the practical applications of energy medicine, how physical ailments often reflect energetic blockages or suppressed emotions, and why love (not just as an emotion, but as a fundamental creative force) is central to healing and transformation.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Nature of Core Narratives and the Mind-Body Connection

[05:51] Dr. Sue Morter:

• People often mistake their thoughts, personalities, or stories for their true selves.
• Her work empowers individuals to get underneath these stories, working directly with the “raw energy of flow or no flow.”
• Insight: “Instead of calling them anxiety, we understand that it's actually something wanting to ignite and emerge from within.”—Dr. Sue Morter [06:42]
• Working with energy removes stress, fosters creativity, and helps avoid the trap of living in fear-based, protective mental patterns.

2. Primer on Human Energy: Frequencies and Flow

[07:59] Dr. Sue Morter:

• All matter is compressed energy; our bodies exist on gradients of energy density.
• Emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations are vibrational frequencies—the radio stations of our greater self.
• Misnaming feelings (like calling arousal anxiety or fear) triggers defensive stories and escalates stress.
• The “threshold moment” analogy: the tremors before hatching (like a chick in an egg) are often misread as fear to be avoided, when actually they herald growth and transformation.

3. Breaking Out of the Safety Trap & Updating Our Inner Narratives

[19:50] Dr. Sue Morter:

• Safety, while biologically compelling, is “not a good enough goal.”
• Living in a dualistic world creates cycles of avoidance and defense, but reconciling with the idea that “the universe is on my side” can free energy for creativity and healing.
• Anchoring consciousness in the body (rather than stories) catalyzes true healing, well-being, and presence.

4. Subconscious Programming & Its Physical Consequences

[27:02] Dr. Sue Morter:

• The subconscious stores both acute (traumatic) and chronic (habitual) fears, shaping our daily experience and continually checking for danger.
• The mind and body, when flooded with low-frequency stored worries, can manifest physical symptoms and self-fulfilling prophecies.
• Instead of withdrawal from life, healing involves engaging with experience from a higher, more grounded vantage and using discomfort as a growth signal.

“We're driven through our lives by our subconscious trying to become conscious. That’s what we’re doing here.” — Dr. Sue Morter [28:18]

5. Translating Frequency: From Catastrophe to Possibility

[30:26] Jonathan Cohen & Dr. Sue Morter:

• Catastrophic thinking is a “low-frequency” brain state that narrows possibility and encourages black-and-white thinking.
• Shifting attention to the heart or the body calms the brain into an alpha state, where new, creative solutions appear.

“What people get into is they try to solve the issue of the mind with the mind. The mind is actually designed to be serving something greater than itself.” — Dr. Sue Morter [33:38]

6. The Soul, the Body, and the Language of Sensation

[44:21] Dr. Sue Morter:

• Physical sensations (like knots in the stomach or tightness in the chest) are the body’s way of communicating soul-level truths to the mind.
• The remedy is not to ask “why am I feeling this?” but “where am I feeling this?”—which reveals where energy is blocked or seeking to move.
• Each bodily location corresponds to different levels of consciousness (chakras), informing which aspects of self require attention or healing.

“The soul speaks to the body and the body speaks to the mind. And the mind doesn’t listen.” — Dr. Sue Morter [44:46]

7. Deep Dive: The 12-Chakra System & Levels of Consciousness

[50:16 & 53:34] Dr. Sue Morter:

• The classic 7 chakras are just the beginning—the advanced energy anatomy includes 5 more (up to 12) that extend above and below the body, representing life purpose, soul purpose, cosmic grounding, and unity with source.
• Each chakra is a vibrational bandwidth connected to purpose, identity, love, manifesting, intuition, and the deepest state of being.

“We’re not only connected to God, we’re made of it. We’re just a compressed version in a holographic universe.” — Dr. Sue Morter [55:54]

8. Physical Health as a Mirror of Consciousness

[60:18]–[65:31] Mayim Bialik & Dr. Sue Morter:

• Louise Hay’s work and Dr. Morter’s family legacy in energy medicine show strong correlations between unresolved emotional issues and specific physical ailments.
• Energy, unresolved and unexpressed, becomes “compressed” into tissues—manifesting as chronic symptoms, immune dysfunction, and more.
• All physical challenges are seen as expressions of consciousness seeking integration, not random misfortunes.

“The body is a reflection of our consciousness. So if something’s not happening in our lives, like healing, it’s because it’s not happening in our body. And if it’s not happening in our body, it’s because it’s not happening in our consciousness, because everything is consciousness.” — Dr. Sue Morter [65:16]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Dr. Sue’s Spiritual Awakening:

  • “I was a ray of light, exalted high above the earth. I could see in every direction simultaneously. And every time I took a breath…this beautiful horizon would just rise up…It was so beautiful. I knew that this was the truth of who I was.” [00:00]

• Challenging the Dominance of the Mind:

  • “We're asking the mind to do something it was never meant to do. We're asking it to run our lives. It was meant to serve the soul who knows why it came and knows the purpose and knows what's real and what's not.” — Dr. Sue Morter [43:28]

• Somatic Wisdom:

  • “Everyone has been in a conversation where something comes up and all of a sudden they've got a knot in their stomach…My body just revealed to me that I have something unresolved going on over here.” — Dr. Sue Morter [45:00]

• Energy blockages are not abstractions—they directly impact your daily feelings, creative output, and even physical health.
• Healing and awakening are not about “removing” the mind but integrating it as a servant to the deeper, intuitive, and loving self.
• The journey involves embracing discomfort as a threshold of growth, not a sign to retreat.
