Come on, let's sit. >> Brooke: I know Donna's at

company. >> Eric: Yeah, well, I'm glad
you did. I thought you would be home with
Ridge. >> Brooke: Yes. That was the
plan, but... he's doing something else.
>> Eric: What? What's he doing? >> Brooke: He's with Taylor.
>> Taylor: Ridge, thank you for coming, but I don't wanna keep
you. >> Ridge: You're not keeping me
from anything. This is working out great.
Finn and Steffy, they're working late, and the kids are at a
sleepover, so it's just you and me tonight.
>> Taylor: It's been so hard to keep this from our daughter.
I mean, from everyone. Besides Li, you're the only one
that knows about my condition. It's been really nice to talk to
you. >> Ridge: Yeah?
Well, I like to listen. But maybe tonight we can go
beyond talking. >> Taylor: What do you mean?

will help you.

do with the grandkids. >> Brooke: Or it could be
something else. >> Eric: She has been gone for a
long time. >> Brooke: She's been back for
weeks. >> Eric: Yes. And they have two
children and three grandchildren.
There's a lot to catch up on, I'm sure.

time with Taylor lately. >> Eric: And that's something
you're particularly happy about. >> Taylor: A surprise?
>> Ridge: A surprise, something that I think will help you.
>> Taylor: So, what--now you're the doctor in the family?

Li, Dr. Buckingham, they gave me numbers to call, and I did,
did the research. >> Taylor: Well, that's very
sweet of you, Ridge. You didn't have to do all that.
>> Ridge: I know, but I wanted to do it, because you're not in
this alone. Doing this together.
All I'm asking of you is to maybe let your guard down a
little and...see if this will work.

>> Eric: Brooke, I think Taylor accepts your relationship with
Ridge, I really do. And I think she accepts the fact
she's not gonna be able to restore her family
back to the way it used to be. >> Brooke: You would think so,
wouldn't you? >> Eric: You don't believe that?
>> Brooke: I wanna believe her. Just [sighs] I'm not sure she's
being completely honest with herself.
>> Eric: You think she's in denial?
>> Brooke: It's very possible. And I would hate to see her put
herself in that position and be vulnerable, open to
disappointment once again. >> Eric: You think that's what
she's doing? Trying to maneuver her way into
Ridge's heart? >> Brooke: I can't be sure.
But she's tried it before. >> Eric: Brooke,
you are Ridge's present and future.
Don't ever forget that. Look, um, I adore Taylor.
I really do. And she's always gonna be a big
part of this family, this big, extended family, now,
for years to come, for years to come.
But Ridge has chosen you to spend the rest of his life with.
>> Brooke: And I choose him every single day.
I know Taylor understands that. But a big part of her will
always love Ridge. >> Ridge: I mean, you're the
doctor, right, you're the MD. I'm just some guy who cares so
much, he wants to help. >> Taylor: And I appreciate it,
Ridge. Exactly who do you have coming
over? >> Ridge: Her name is Shandra,
and she is a healer. >> Taylor: A healer?
>> Ridge: Yes. She deals mostly in chakras.
>> Taylor: Chakras. >> Ridge: What're you doing?
Don't--no, don't do that. You said you're gonna keep an
open mind. >> Taylor: I-I'm trying, I'm
trying, but chakras--really? >> Ridge: Yes! It sounds a
little...different-- >> Taylor: Well, it definitely
wasn't what I was expecting. I never pegged you for a chakras
guy. >> Ridge: Well, I am a chakras
guy. >> Taylor: Okay.

this a shot. She comes highly recommended,

I just-- >> Carter: About what, your
ex-husband professing his undying love for you?

I'm just sorry that you had to see it, and I can only imagine
what you're feeling, and I feel bad.
>> Carter: Please don't feel bad, and don't be sorry.

I mean, I... I did not know how to react to
that. I-I wasn't expecting that from
Liam at all. >> Carter: [laughs] I mean,
it couldn't be that big of a surprise, right?
You and Liam? >> Hope: Well, I--[laughs]
I mean, we had a...mostly wonderful, often complicated
marriage. >> Carter: Mm-hmm.
>> Hope: That ended. Partly because of me.
And I own that. But there were also other
issues. There are things that we never
really were able to get past. >> Carter: Well, maybe those
things aren't so insurmountable to him anymore.
>> Hope: [small laugh] Obviously, I don't know what
Liam is thinking. >> Carter: Hope, I think it's
very clear. He wants you back.
And I can't blame him. I wouldn't give up on you
either. >> Brooke: Taylor caused a great
deal of trouble in my relationship, and I'd be
thrilled if she would just move on from that, once and for all.
>> Eric: Well, whether she does or not is inconsequential,
because Ridge only has eyes for you.
>> Brooke: And I believe that. With every ounce of my being.
Although, I still have to be watchful and...
>> Eric: Watchful. >> Brooke: Vigilant.
>> Eric: Vigilant? Of what? What are you implying?
>> Brooke: Well, I've been very accommodating.
I've been giving them a lot of leeway and space,
time to be alone together. But tonight, I thought I would
go over to Steffy's and pay them a little visit.
>> Taylor: So what's happening? Where do we start?
>> Shandra: Well, first I'd like to give a brief explanation of
what I do, the approach we'll be taking for tonight's session.
Now, I know you are a world-renown psychiatrist,
Taylor, very familiar with the mind-body connection, and an
expert at treating emotional pain and trauma.
So I deal with that too in a different way...
through spiritual healing and energy work.
>> Ridge: You said you were gonna keep an open mind.
Can you do that? She's really good at what she does.
Let her try. >> Taylor: I'm listening.
>> Shandra: Well, I'm sure you've heard of chakras before,
the chart with all the bright various colors.
>> Taylor: Yes, yes, yes. >> Shandra: Well, the chakra
network is an ancient energy system that's been around for
thousands of years, and chakras exist in all living things.
And the word chakra means "wheel" or "circle" in Sanskrit,
symbolizing the powerful circular movement of energy
within them, like invisible life forces,
extremely essential to our health, and when they become
blocked or imbalanced, it can throw everything out of whack.
>> Ridge: So bottom line is Shandra is gonna realign your
chakras and try to... heal your broken heart
and maybe even make it stronger than it was.
And I will be right there with you--we're going on this ride
together. So what do you think?
Ready to try? >> Taylor: Sure.
♪♪♪
>> Carter: I mean it, Hope. I don't blame Liam for not
wanting to lose you. >> Hope: Except we aren't even
a couple anymore. Look, Carter,
the only thing that I am certain of is how I feel right now
in this moment with you today,
and I'm pretty sure you might be able to figure that out for
yourself. >> Carter: Yeah.
But Liam, he misses you. He wishes you were still his
wife. >> Hope: [sighs]
I will always think the world of him,
but we are not together now, for many reasons.
And now, I mean... One of those reasons...
...is you, Carter. I mean, that kiss we shared...
>> Carter: Mm. I think about it too.
You are so... ...beautiful.
Those gorgeous, soulful eyes. I could stare into them all
night long. ♪♪♪
>> Shandra: Now, thousands of swirling energy centers exist
within the body, but there are seven main chakras from the base
of the spine to the top of the head--root.
>> Ridge: I am. >> Shandra: Sacral.
>> Ridge: I feel. >> Shandra: Solar plexus.
>> Ridge: I do. >> Shandra: Heart.
>> Ridge: I love. >> Shandra: Throat.
>> Ridge: I speak. >> Shandra: Third eye.
>> Ridge: I see. >> Shandra: And crown.
>> Ridge: I know. What are you looking at?
I know things. I study things. >> Shandra: [laughs]
Now, when energy is drained or restricted by stress or loss,
emotional or physical symptoms can manifest themselves.
>> Ridge: Which is kinda what you're going through.
>> Shandra: And a symbiotic relationship between mind and
body is critical. So our goal is to bring harmony
and wholeness back to your entire system.
>> Taylor: Well, this all sounds great, but what does this have
to do with me and my broken heart syndrome?
>> Shandra: Well, with your background, as I'm sure you
know, trauma is a response to upsetting experiences which can
inhibit a person's capacity to cope, and this can have deep and
enduring effects on someone's physical and mental states.
>> Ridge: And when pain and trauma isn't dealt with,
it becomes a wound that lives in the...chakra.
>> Shandra: So tonight, we'll be applying various yoga
techniques, poses, or asanas, meditation, and breath work.
Now, in the spirit of transparency, clearing of your
chakras may result in a flooding of emotional release,
during or after our session. Profound, cathartic, wonderful,
but sometimes uncomfortable release.
It's a totally normal part of the healing journey.
>> Ridge: So Shandra and I thought that, along with your
medication, this... would help you heal.
>> Taylor: Okay. >> Shandra: Now, I'd like for
you both to sit on the floor across from each other.
>> Ridge: All right. I'll take this one.
[soft ding] >> Shandra: Now, gaze into each
other's eyes. In order for you to benefit from
this experience completely, I ask for you to let go.
Be raw. Open yourselves up completely,
to the universe, to your surroundings, to yourselves, and
to each other. Let each other in--
all of the past, the present, beautiful memories,
the painful ones. Keep locked into one another's
eyes and just let the thoughts and images flow through like
gentle waves. And breathe as if you're one.
Taylor, take Ridge's hand and place it on your heart.
