Bonjour Curtis . How are you doing Pretty ?
good , why don't you start off by telling everybody a little bit about yourself ?
Well
¶ From Boat Rental to Chiropractic
, obviously I've got a little bit of an accent right . So I was born and raised in the south of France . Actually , I used to live on a boat in south of France and I used to rent boat as a business , right .
So I was working , like I would say , you know , six , seven months maximum , and the rest of the time I was either like sailing the Mediterranean , but during the winter is not the best , right . So I used to buy a hairfare ticket and spending like some few months in the south hemisphere .
I was basically a sun chaser , right , I didn't know what winter is , what snow was , for like almost a decade .
And so you will think , well , life is great , right , but you know , um , one day I had like a revelation , if you want , you know , I saw myself , um as helping people , right , and so there was nobody in my family was involved with health care , or , you know , mds , nurse , or not even like , of course , healing , right .
So I started to see you know what I can do , and I started to talk to my clients , and one of my clients one time told me uh , you know what , there's a chinese doctor , he's coming to visit me , right , and so why don't you , uh , spend a few hours with him and talk to him . I said , yeah , how that's ? That sounds good , I definitely want to do that .
And so , curtis , I definitely met the guy . He gave me like three books to read and he said when you're done with a season with work , I want you to come and visit me , I will give you treatment and we'll talk .
And sure enough , I did really enjoy the books and , um , I started to inquire about chinese medicine and he told me you know what , if you want to do the same that I did , you know , because you really know what you're talking about , right , and what what really Chinese medicine is about , you need to go to China , you need to learn Chinese .
And I said , how long is it going to take ? He said , well , kind of 10 years . And I said , oh man , I'm , like you know , 30 years old . I just want to practice one day , right ? And so he looked at me and he said you know what ? You look strong ? Why not chiropractic ? And I said what's that ?
So , sure enough , he gave me some information of people like from France who went to , basically to America to learn chiropractic . And so I did get the information , get the school information and there was something that was fascinating about the philosophy they described , curtis , and the thing was called the innate intelligence .
Innate intelligence your own ability to heal yourself right , and this was fascinating to me . And so , sure enough , I went to the school , get my first treatment Like a woman . That was a student there really helped me a lot and I loved it and I said , okay , okay , let's do this .
So they used to call me the gypsy at that time because I had long hair , hearing I was partying all night and all that . And so imagine , curtis , when I told my parents , well , you know what ? I'm going to America , I'm going to become a doctor . That was they really laughed at me , right , and so I did , and I graduate , you know , three years later .
And here's the first part of my story , curtis .
Okay , well , tell us about your mind , body , goal and success clearing method
¶ Mind, Body, Goal Clearing Method
so .
So you know , curtis , you know , uh , lots of time we just um came up with something or create is a big word , I think we rediscover , truly but things because of our life circumstances , right .
And so when I um graduate and I was treating people right and they will get better , but very soon they will plateau and to maintain the plateau they will have to come to see me . So I thought there was something that that could be better .
Right , and because I know for sure one things in life if you've got a problem in life and you can have like a health problem , a relationship problem you name it a prosperity problem , even , right . So if you've got a problem in life , curtis , you need to know two things . Number one , you need to know what's causing your problem , right .
If you don't know what's causing your problem , how can you truly fix it right ? And the second thing is you need to know how to fix it .
So I was thinking , like , if the people still have to come to see me and they don't get any better , but just to maintain the progress they are in , well , maybe we didn't find out really what was causing the causal problem and or maybe we didn't know how to fix it . So I started to investigate .
You know what we call inflammation , right , which is basically your chemical stress , right ? And so you know I will .
If you will have a problem , for example , and you think it's chemical stress , you will get a chronic disease and you will come to see me , curtis , and I will check your body by using muscle testing means that you know I use your muscle power and when you get weak , it means you've got some stress . I will check .
Basically , you know all the organ in your , the main organ in your body , and and what's causing the stress in those organ that we call inflammation , and I made a big practice out of it , right ?
So I had like four employees and I was basically , um , seeing like 250 patients a week , right , and so I told some of my employees how to do different things to assist me , right . So everything was fine .
I was living I'm a French guy , you know and I was living the American dream , right , I had the big house , best neighborhood and all that in Kansas City , right . But you know there's something in life , but you know when everything you think you got it , now this is it . You know when everything you think you got it . Now .
This is it , you know , nice and easy , like , let's cruise from now on . Well , you know , life sometimes , you know , bring you back to some kind of reality in a way or some kind of things that , hey , maybe that's not it for you . You know , we need more out of you . And so , basically , that's what happened .
So , within a year , here's what happened to me , curtis . So , number one , because I was like thinking I was doing the right thing , right , so I always my mind was focused on helping people , right and all that . But here's the problem it was so imbalanced . Right meanings that when I was done working I will go home .
But I was there , but I was not present for my family . At that time . I met a French woman in a bar in Kansas City and we got a daughter named Maya , right , and we got married . And so , soon enough , of course , my relationship went down the drain , right . And so within a year , I ended up divorcing , right .
And I'm telling you , when you've got a kid , it's never a handshake , for sure . And that was number one , right . Number two , because I was so burned out and I was a mess , right . So my head , I couldn't focus , and I lost my clarity , even my juice , you know , to help people , which I cannot believe . I'm saying that . And basically , what happened ?
My practice went from thriving to failing right . Basically what happened ? My practice went from thriving to failing right . And so and the cherry on the cake , if I can say that was like , basically , I got diagnosed with early stage of colon cancer , right ?
So here I am supposed to recommend , you know , my patient , how to avoid this kind of disease , you know , to decrease the inflammation in the body . And I'm diagnosed with the second killer in this country , right ? So I was like what the heck ? What the heck happened really ?
And so I had to rethink everything about myself , you know , about my health , my relationship , my prosperity . And
¶ The Two Minds: Conscious vs Subconscious
I had to redefine who I was , also as a doctor , because it didn't work for me , right . But I knew deep inside , curtis , like there was like something within me that was pushing me to sabotage my health , to sabotage my relationship and to sabotage my prosperity .
So I literally went on a quest and , following the principle that you have to find what's causing , you know what's causing the problem and how to fix it . So , for the physical stress , you know , I had the chiropractic things . I created an energy technique to really help my patient . So I was okay with that , right , I had good results treating people physically .
Now , chemically , what I found out , it's like when you supercharge the body with oxygen . You know , really good things happen , especially with cancer cells . Actually , because cancer cells , they don't lack oxygen .
They thrive in what we call acidic environment and so when you give them oxygen , it's like the equivalent of a vampire looking at the sun , right , and so they will die very quickly . So , anyway , that helped me to help myself , naturally , from the cancer , right . And after I said , okay , well , we need to talk about the mind , right .
What's about my emotion and the feeling that I've got and my mental status , right . And so I started to learn some emotional technique . And basically , what happened , curtis ? It's like , you know , I was doing things , I was helping people .
I will tell them oh , you've got neck pain and a part of it it's because you do have some emotional emotion trap on your neck right , and that's what giving you the problem and the pain . It's a part of the cause , right . But still , I was not in my you know , I didn't feel that that was really the answer .
So I started to really go deeper and study the mind and what I discover , girl , is it's mind blowing and it's crazy because that information is very accessible . You can Google all what I'm saying and you will find the same answer , right .
And so the first thing that I realized it's like , you know , because I was thinking we've got a mind-body connection right , everybody is talking about that , but what really is the mind right ? And so it's kind of the first things that I noticed it's like we're living in a two separate , in a two separate world at the same time .
So what do I mean by that ? I mean there's two worlds , right . There's kind of like two minds in a way . So you've got the outer world right , which is basically the outside world , right .
So it's basically who you think you are right , your personality , you know what we call your self-identity , right , and so what you think you can do , what you think you cannot achieve , it's also what you're aware of . Basically , it's like your thought , your emotion , your behavior , your action and all that right .
So basically , what you're aware of , you know , to make it very simple , and after there's another mind and we're going to call that the subconscious mind , and that subconscious mind is totally it's like a secret , right . We don't know truly what's going on there . The only thing I mean there's something that we know for sure .
For example , your subconscious mind records everything you have been doing , curtis , from age zero to now . Everything is stored there in that subconscious mind also . The subconscious mind is where your skills as a podcaster , skill , as whatever you do in life right are stored , right .
It's also all the automatic process in your body , like breathing , like your heartbeat , and all that are stored also right . So I was like very intrigued by that subconscious mind , and so there's two things that I want your audience to to realize um , about those two minds . So , for example , the conscious mind processes data at 11 bits per second , right .
The subconscious mind processes data at 11 million bits per second , so it's one million times more powerful , right . So when I started to see that , I said , boy , you know that subconscious mind . We really need to see really what's going on there .
And the second thing you know , I'm going to tell you something and to your audience , if you guys are standing up , please sit down , because what I'm going to be , what I'm about to tell you , is going to shock you .
It did shock me really , and I'm still cannot believe it in a way , right , and if you sit up , buckle up , right and so that's going to redefine what I'm going to tell you . That's going to redefine who , uh , what ? Who you think you are right as a human being . So here's the thing , curless , let's shoot that . So , number one your conscious mind .
According to who you're reading , it's only five or five or ten percent of your mind . I repeat , your conscious mind , who you think you are , your self-identity , is only five or ten percent of your mind .
Therefore , your subconscious mind right , which is , you know , your um , um , your subconscious mind right , where you're not aware of , or what , really , what's going on
¶ How We Get Programmed
, there is 90 to 95 percent of your mind . So , basically , when we're talking about healing , transformation and growth , we focus only on five or ten percent of our mind , which is our conscious mind , right ? So it means , in other words , we we're using five or ten percent of our mind power , or 5 or 10% of our brain power , right ?
So I was thinking , hey , what if we start to use our subconscious mind ? What if we bring the subconscious mind to a party , right ? Would it be nice ? Does it make sense to you , curtis ?
Yes , it absolutely does .
So that was my quest , definitely , curtis , right . And so I said , okay , how can we use that , right ?
You know , and I used to travel a lot , curtis , you know , in different countries , and the thing that was the most frustrating during my travels was when I was like there was like a fellow that you know , a man , a woman that I wanted to interact with because they seems to be nice and I don't know , and things like that .
But you know what was so hard for me , so frustrating , is like when I was not speaking the same language , speaking the same language , right , and so that was really frustrated and I thought to myself well , you know what , alan , we need to speak the same language that the subconscious mind . So now the question does the subconscious mind communicate with us ?
You bet you , all the time , when we remember our dreams , when you remember your dreams , right ? What do you remember always that always come with a dream ? Is a picture a your dreams , right ? What do you remember always that always come with a dream ? Is a picture , a serial picture , right ? I never had , curtis , anybody told me .
You know what , dr Salas , you know , I remember only the smell of my dream . It doesn't make any sense , right , you just have to uncover the dream with a picture . So I said , oh , the way to communicate to the subconscious mind is via pictures , and probably that's how the subconscious mind stores data . That's why it's so much more powerful , right ?
Because a picture is worth a thousand words , and I'm not even including all the symbolism that can be in that picture , right ? So I started to play with that , right , and try to help my patient , for if they had pain , if they had some symptom in their body , and see how we , we can get rid of them just by using their mind .
Right , because that's why we are so powerful , curlews , we don't realize how powerful we are because we think that we have been told we are only our self-identity . So what do I mean by that ? Well , if you zoom out , let's zoom out . Zoom out to really what's going on here . So visualize the sun , and the sun is God , the sun is awareness .
Whatever you want to call it depends on your belief , it doesn't matter . That's the divine right . And after a spark of the sun , create your spirit . Right , and after you've got your spirit and the sun , and this is all pure love , if you want , this is all what has been , will ever be . There's no duality , there's no good and bad .
This is amazing , right , and your spirit is included in it .
And after you've got the sky , you know , and there's some cloud in your sky right , and after you've got your physical self , like you know , curtis with your physical body and me with my physical body , right , and so some people , they've got so many cloud , curtis , that they that they say there's no sun , the sun doesn't exist , never felt it , there's no sun ,
there's no divine Doesn't exist . And so what are those clouds , right , that are preventing us to see the sun , to feel the sun ? And so whose are the limiting beliefs , right ? So what are the limiting beliefs ? They are programmed in the subconscious mind . So when we start to deprogram your subconscious mind , we start to get rid of a cloud and after , finally
¶ Three Steps to Clear Limiting Beliefs
, we can have a glimpse on the sun , of the sun , if you never see it , right , and you can start to to feel the warmth of the sun , right , and you say , man , you know , and you start , start to feel the warmth of the sun , right , and you say , man , you know , and you start to get more connected to your spirit , right , and that's how , after ,
everything changed , because you realize that you are not only your self-identity , you are a spirit living a physical experience .
Okay , well , talk about the three steps that you talk about in your bio to eliminate , you know , negative beliefs .
Okay , so just before , let's explain how we get programmed , right ? Because lots of people don't know that they are programmed . And we all are you , curtis , you are , I am , everybody on Earth are programmed . And we all are you , curtis , you are , I am , everybody on earth are programmed . So how does it work ?
Let's pretend , like , especially when we are kids , from age zero to seven to eight years old , right ? So we assume that everything in life , what we see in the outside world , is like for our highest good , right are ? We are , um , innocent , right , and so that's what we think . So we assume things .
And we assume things like if you repeatedly assume the same thing , it's become a program that is stored in your subconscious mind . So , curtis , you've got two kind of program . You've got some program that serve you , right ? It's kind of your mind is working for you instead of against you , right ? So those are called empowering belief . Empowering belief , right ?
And so basically , this is like those program are serving you , that's great . You want to keep those right , of course .
And after they've got some other program and whose program are not serving you any longer they may be serve you for a while , but they're not serving you any longer and whose are negative programming right , and we call that limiting belief and it's kind of , your mind is working against us , right ?
So we all have experienced sometimes that our mind is not working for us , right ? We say why am I still acting like this ? This is crazy , you know , but I cannot help it . So let me give an example to the audience . You know how does it work .
So let's pretend there's a little girl that see her dad that is an alcoholic , come back every night drunk and beat up his wife , so her mom . So my question to you , curtis , is what do you think the little girl's going to attract as a romantic relationship down the road when she's older ? What do you think ?
He's going to think that's acceptable yeah .
Yes , she's going to attract the same abusive relationship , at least Right . And so now there's a few things , and I think , curtis , you know , there's probably 80 percent of the people , maybe even more , 90 percent of people who agree with us , right ? But let me make a couple of comments on that .
So comment number one Well , if I ask that woman now , right , she's not a little girl anymore , she's in that abusive relationship and if you ask her , you say , hey , by the way , do you enjoy to get beat up by your man ? She's going to say heck , no . So the conscious mind is going to say no . But here we go .
The subconscious mind has been programmed as men are predators and women are prey . So now there's another question that came up in my mind . I said how is she going to attract that man ? How is she going to do it ? Why is she going to shake a man's hand and say , hey , can you come here and beat me up ? Of course not . That's not how it's going .
And say , hey , can you come here and beat me up ? Of course not , right ? That's not how it's going to work , right ? So it's kind of like , if you want curlies , our subconscious mind are connected , right , they are connected to each other . That's why some people say that we are all one .
Right , because the subconscious mind are connected and the way it works , her subconscious mind , that woman's subconscious mind , is gonna because they can read each other , because they are connected , right gonna say , oh , this guy's gonna do why ? Because he has been bullied and now he's a bully , so he's got that predator program .
And that subconscious man of a man's gonna say , oh , that woman's gonna do it for me because she's got the prayer program and I can bully her , and so they're going to fall in love . Right , they're going to fall in love and they're going to start that tango , that dance together because of the polarity of prayer and predator .
So there's actually three different case scenarios that can happen to a woman . The case scenario number one well , she's going to marry the guy right and get stuck with that guy for the rest of her life . We all know or have heard of such a relationship , right ? Case scenario number two Curtis .
What may happen is like she's going to go with a guy for sure and after she'll say I cannot , it's too much . You know , I get beat up all the time , and so she's gonna find another guy that you know is gonna have his own style of abusive you know pattern and . And another guy and , uh , and maybe have kids along the way . Lots of suffering for sure .
And so there's two way that this can , um can , end right . And so I talked to those women and the first reaction that they say is this Curtis . They say , hey , you know what , dr Salas , don't talk to me about men anymore . I don't want any more men in my life , right ? I mean , it's kind of like you know there's a fire .
You put your finger in the fire , you get burned . Once you put your finger again , you get burned . Once you put your finger again , you get burned twice . You say , okay , I'm not gonna put my finger on the fire , right . But you know we can heal from our life experiences , right .
And so the true healing for that woman will be oh , now I'm attracting somebody that is kind to me , respectful , I see , see me as a , as an equal right , and so , and love me like the way I deserve to be loved as a human being , right , and so that's really the true healing that will happen . And so that's case scenario number two , sir .
And case scenario number three she can come and see somebody like me , right , that can speak the same language , but with subconscious mind , right , remember , with a picture , right , that can speak the same language that the subconscious mind , right , remember , with a picture , right . So I speak the same language and we can do the three steps of a man clearing .
So the first step is what ? When you've got a program , let's compare your mind as a computer , right ? So your brain is the hard drive , your software is the hard drive , your software is the subconscious mind , the output of a software is your conscious mind and your behavior is reflecting , is reflected , I'm sorry , on the screen of life .
So if you got good program , like you know , you don't have too many limiting beliefs , right ? So you ask me , curtis , you say , you ask me oh , dr Salazar , is life treating you ? I say , man , never better , you know , life is great . You know I love my screen of life . You know I mean , let's not change anything , right ?
But if I've got lots of limiting beliefs , lots of negative programming , that's software , right . And Curtis , you're going to ask me our life is our life is treating you ? I say , oh , man , you know it's a struggle , I always feel stuck and I get do anything I get , you know , and everybody's against me and blah , blah , blah , blah , blah , blah .
Right , and so what do you want ? When you've got a program that doesn't work for you in the computer , what do you do ? Well , you delete it , right ? So you're going to delete your limiting belief , right , and it's a program that I created but customized to you . So I'm just , you are going to be the one healing yourself in a way .
You're going to send that deleting program in that picture , right . And so after I will say , when we delete with a limiting belief , well , you're just going to have to replace by empowering one . So , basically , you delete what you don't want and you download what you want . And the step two , it's like to download what you want .
So I would say , you know , visualize a picture of the opposite of that limiting belief , like what you don't want , and that's going to be your empowering belief . And after , number three , remember the screen of life .
We want to make sure that you can create now what you want , you know , to get the result that you want , you know , because you don't have that limitation any longer , right , so you want to make sure that you create that into your life , right ?
And so those are the three steps of a mind clearing . Okay , so tell us about you know your books , what listeners can expect when they read them and where we can get them from .
Well , the books is actually , you know , the books was created 10 years ago . So it's about it's called the Brain Power Secret . So I was studying the brain , right , but I soon realized that our thoughts are not in our brain . You know , we can rewire our brain because of our thinking , but it's not in the brain .
Like I said , the brain is only , uh , the hard drive , right , it's not , it's not the , it's not the mouse moving , it's's not
¶ Books and Resources to Heal Yourself
the guy , you know , moving the computer , right , moving the mouse on the screen , and so which are our thoughts ? Right ? And so , basically , the way to see that , let's pretend there's a . My dad told me I'm a loser . So visualize a triangle . And inside the triangle there's the limiting belief , right , and my limiting belief is okay , I'm a loser .
So on top of a triangle , it's your thought . So I'm going to think I'm a loser , right , and so negative thought , right On the right side base of the triangle , that's going to be your emotion , right , and that's going to be your emotion , right , and that's going to be overwhelming emotion , right . So I'm going to feel like I'm a loser .
And on the left side base , on the triangle , it's like your behavior and action . So if I feel I'm a loser . I'm going to behave like a loser . So the result is going to be not very good , right , it's . Um , it's gonna be loser action , right , and so on . What's gonna make me feel even more like a loser ?
I'm gonna think , man , I knew I was a loser , but that bad , it's really bad . So , but we caught up on this loop running into in in our subconscious mind , you know , in the back , in the back of our mind literally , and just making us behave and think , feel and behave and act in a certain way Until those programs are there .
We're just stuck on those programming , right , I call that a subconscious stress , loop , loop , and we stop on all those loop , loop , loop , loop . So it's kind of a way , the way to see that it's kind of a . It's kind , in one way , it's like our past , because who's limiting belief ?
Remember the way we are programming from our past , past challenge , past trauma that we experience , and they are creating those loops that are running us . So , basically , here's the thing , curtis , and what people don't realize , it's like our past belief . Right , are dictating our present and shaping our future .
So the only way , the most efficient way , to change our present and future is to clear our negative , you know , challenges , our trauma , that you have all the things that are in our past that are basically holding us right , prevent us to reach our highest potential and be the best version of ourselves . So there's two things .
If they mention your podcast Curlies is this the first thing is you go to my website . It's called themindclearingcom Again , themindclearingcom . And what happens ? You go into contact and there's a form there that you can fill in or you've got an email that you can contact me .
So if they come from your um , basically mention your podcast name , right , they will get 20 percent off of treatment . So what do you mean by treatment ? I say well , do you think we can treat ? Do you think that your mind can create pain in your body ? You bet I treat that every day . Do you think that your mind can create pain in your body ?
You bet I treat that every day . Do you think that your mind can create symptoms in your body ? Yes , do you think that your mind can create inflammation in your body ? Of course , and this is what I describe is what I call the body clearing right , which is about getting rid of your pain , symptom and inflammation and after a cure .
Do you think that your mind can prevent you to reach your goal or achieve your highest potential ?
You bet you , of course , and so I created what I call the transformation quantum transformation loop , right , just to make sure that we bring the subconscious mind to the party as far as taking steps to reaching your goal , right , and so that's the goal and success , right .
So , if they want to learn the three , the basic mind clearing , number two , the goal clearing , and number three , the goal and success clearing if you take the entire package , you will have 50% off , because you know we can talk about that forever , curtis , but you know true experience is about , I mean , true experience thing is true knowledge , and so , again ,
we can talk about that , but until you experience the work .
And so if you've got pain , it has been there forever , right , and 70% to 80% of my patients , it would be totally gone and never come back within two treatments , right , so , of course , you experience very good result because you use 90 to 95 percent of your mind power that you couldn't have access before , you couldn't talk the same language .
And so , basically , mind clearing is giving you the technology you know , and some of my help with guidance to be able to use your mind to heal yourself , and when you empower people to heal themselves , I call that the holy grail of healing . There's no better than that .
Okay , well , tell us about any upcoming projects that you're working on that people need to know about , about any upcoming projects that you're working on that people need to know about .
Well , you know I'm doing lots of podcast curries because I want to write the book , and so the way you know people host , react and what people tell me they like what they heard and things like that .
That's going to be for my upcoming book , and it's about to teach people how to treat themselves if they want , because it's only not only about coaches and health professional , you know that definitely want to go deeper and make sure that they can help and empower their clients to get deep transformation , healing and growth right , and it's also for lay people like
you .
