>> Ridge: Thank you. For being open to this.
Shandra's the best healer in Los Angeles.
>> Shandra: Ridge wouldn't have called me if he didn't think
it'd make a difference. >> Taylor: I know how beneficial
meditation can be, but... I have a heart condition.
Broken heart syndrome is a physical illness.
>> Ridge: Hey. Energy healing can help you.
>> Shandra: It's most effective if you let go.
Quiet your thoughts and focus on each other.
Breathe as one so we can begin the journey to balance your

>> Hope: Well, so much for us swearing off office romance.

between us. For now.
[door opens] >> Steffy: Oh, hey, Carter,
there you are. I was wondering-- What's going on?
♪♪
>> Steffy: Oh, I see what's going on here.
Oh, no, you two aren't fooling me, I--look at those faces.
Hope, you are relentless. Grilling Carter about your line?
Really? Pitching Hope for the Future again?
>> Hope: Pfff. Right, uh, my line.
I mean, I am--I'm certain that Hope for the Future will bounce
back, uh... and if you're looking for Ridge,
I haven't seen him. >> Steffy: I-I know where he is.
He's with my mother.

>> Shandra: We're starting with simple breath work.
You mentioned meditation. Same principle.
>> Ridge: Get outta your head. Just feel what you're feeling.
>> Taylor: Feel what I'm feeling?
>> Ridge: Yeah. All the wounds to get some
stress out of your body. Shandra, what's next?
>> Shandra: Slowly inhale through your nose...
[inhales] then exhale even more slowly
through your mouth. Taylor, feel the warmth of
Ridge's hand on your heart. I asked you to put it there for
a reason. Ridge is going to help you
rebalance your heart chakra. >> Ridge: Whatever it takes to
make you feel better.

>> Hope: My mom doesn't have a
problem with Ridge spending time with Taylor.
>> Carter: That's what I heard. >> Hope: Yeah. I think they've
been really open about it. They've been communicating
really well with each other. >> Carter: And that's it, right?
Being able to communicate, open up with how you feel,
even if there's complicated emotions.
>> Hope: Yeah. Don't hold back. >> Carter: And tell the other
person how you feel and... see what happens.
>> Steffy: Exactly. Love this guy right here.

>> Ridge: Are you with me? >> Taylor: I'm right here.
>> Ridge: Okay, good. 'Cause we're gonna have to
balance your chakras. Seven of 'em.
They start at the bottom of your spine and...go all the way to
the top of your head. >> Shandra: That's right.
And tonight, we are focusing on Taylor's heart chakra.
>> Ridge: Heart chakra. That's the one associated with
caring, loving.
No one cares more than you. >> Shandra: Now, given your
diagnosis of broken heart syndrome, this is where we'll
concentrate tonight. Experiences such as betrayals
or rejections adversely affect the human heart and intimate
relationships. This can cause isolation,
difficulty with forgiveness, fear of abandonment
or being loved. Now, there is a pose that
activates this chakra. I asked you to look it up.
>> Ridge: I did. >> Shandra: Can you show Taylor?
>> Ridge: Sure. Come on.
You sit on your heels like this, and your arms go out thusly.
>> Taylor: Thusly. >> Ridge: Palms up.
And with every breath you take, your arms come up and down.
>> Brooke: [whispers] What are they doing?
>> Ridge: Can you feel that? Feel that energy? No?
>> Taylor: I don't know. >> Shandra: Stay open to this.
I'm sure you're skeptical how chakras can impact your health.
>> Taylor: Well, it's just not all psychosomatic.
My, uh, my illness is not all in my head.
>> Shandra: Neither are your emotions.
>> Ridge: You're holding on to something.
You tried everything to heal your heart, and it didn't work.
Maybe try something else. Maybe try this.
I want to be part of healing you.
Let me try. >> Taylor: [whispers] Okay.
>> Ridge: [whispers] Just look at me. I got you.
>> Shandra: It's not always one major trauma or tragedy that
impacts the heart chakra. This regulation can stem from
a series of letdowns or betrayals,
the physical loss of love or a loved one.
This causes scars within, blocking our ability to release
the heartache and to receive and give love freely without fear of
it ending in pain. A wounded heart chakra can cause
us to close off and engage with the world through a more
intellectual realm. Yes, there you go.
Breathe into that aching space.
>> Ridge: [whispers] You're doing it.
I'm right here.
>> Shandra: I want you to go deeper now.
Use this connection to help our healing journey.
I want you to try the Yab-Yum position.
This isn't something I would suggest for everyone, and by
taking this position together, you will be establishing a
significant emotional, physical, and energetic interconnection.
♪♪
>> Hope: Carter made a good point.
We can't hear each other if we never listen.
I mean, our moms have done that practically our whole lives.
>> Steffy: Well, my mom's a little more understanding than
yours. >> Hope: I don't think it has to
be a competition. I mean, the years and the years,
the back and the forth--like, we don't have to do that.
>> Steffy: Yeah, we don't, but then you chose to go after my
husband. >> Hope: [sighs] And that was
a mistake, one that I deeply regret and one that I have
apologized for, so can we please just move past it and finally
put an end to this rivalry that our mothers began so long ago?
♪♪ >> Ridge: So we're gonna do
another pose? >> Shandra: To tap into the
incredible trust I'm feeling between you.
It's powerful. >> Taylor: It is.
>> Shandra: This position requires it.
It's about unity, wholeness, two becoming one.
The Yab-Yum position can be extremely intense, but in your
case, I think it will be very powerful.
>> Taylor: So what do we do? >> Shandra: Ridge, sit
cross-legged facing Taylor. Taylor, sit in Ridge's lap and
wrap your ankles around his back.
>> Taylor: Around his back. >> Shandra: Yes.
All of your chakras are aligned. You are joined together in a
moment of intense awareness and connection.
To complete this connection, look into each other's eyes.
Ridge is supporting you, giving you his strength.
And when recalling these traumas, be aware of where you
feel it in your body. Where's the resistance?
>> Taylor: My heart. >> Shandra: Stay with it.
Taylor, there is wisdom in your body, wisdom in your chakra
network. By acknowledging the interplay
between trauma and the chakras, you can have a more
transformative, healing journey, allowing you to regain your
sense of safety, empowerment, love, self-expression,
perception, security, and purpose.
>> Ridge: [whispers] You can do this.
You're safe. It's okay to feel.
Hey. Stay with me.
>> Shandra: Good. Keep focusing on breathing...
together... into your heart space.
>> Taylor: I don't wanna run anymore.
[Taylor sobbing] >> Ridge: It's okay.
>> Steffy: Look, I don't want our kids to grow up the way we
did--constantly watching our mothers battle each other.
>> Hope: Well, it doesn't have to be an inevitability.
I believe we can get--[laughs] we can get along, even our
mothers, if we really try to cultivate peace between our
families. And I think-I think the first
step is acknowledging that, you know, Taylor actually does
respect my mother's relationship with Ridge.
>> Steffy: Okay. As long as Brooke is fine that my dad's
always gonna love my mom. >> Hope: I think my mom knows
that. >> Steffy: Well, you know my
mom's a good person. She's not gonna try to break up
their relationship. But we can't deny that their
love for each other... it'll never die.
>> Shandra: You're gonna be emotionally raw for a little
bit. >> Taylor: No. I can finally
breathe. I feel like a weight's been
lifted off my chest. >> Shandra: Well, the heart
chakra can't be walled up or protected, though it's our
natural instinct to do so when we've been wounded.
>> Taylor: Thank you, Shandra. Thank you for explaining
everything, for being so patient.
I'm sorry I was so skeptical. >> Shandra: It's quite all
right. I wish you all the best, and
keep up the important work to fully heal your broken heart
syndrome.
Be there for her, Ridge. >> Ridge: Thank you.
>> Taylor: [small laugh] I can't believe how much lighter
I feel. I haven't allowed myself to cry
like that in years or feel so much.
You know, not since our... precious baby left us.
I could feel her presence. >> Ridge: [softly] I could too.
>> Taylor: Yeah. I can't explain it. I feel...
an inner peace that I haven't felt in so long.
Thank you for taking my hand and leading me down this path
tonight. >> Ridge: I just wanted you to
feel better. >> Taylor: I do. Thanks to you.
>> Ridge: You did the work. >> Taylor: We did it together.
Ohh. Ahh.
Now I understand what Shandra meant about being a little raw.
I feel pretty drained. >> Ridge: How drained are you?
'Cause do I have to clean this up?
>> Taylor: No! [laughing] Stop. No. You can go.
I'm gonna enjoy it, actually, for a minute.
>> Ridge: You sure? >> Taylor: Yeah.
Hey, I don't take you for granted.
You know that, right? Your caring is an incredible
gift, and I'm really grateful for it.
For you. I was being a little crazy
keeping this all to myself, and I'm sorry I put you in such a
tough spot. We don't have to keep it a
secret anymore. I guess I just couldn't accept
that I... anyway.
Thank you for helping me heal my broken heart.

I don't know what you think you're doing, but you're not
gonna get away with it. >> Taylor: Look, I know, I know
what must be going on in your head, but it is not what you
think. I have a condition, and Ridge
has been helping me through it. >> Brooke: What condition?
