The missing link in your healing

This could possibly be the BIGGEST MISSING LINK in your healing.

In Episode 7 on Limiting Beliefs we briefly mentioned the role of emotions in health.

In this Episode we deep dive into this topic.

Loretta talks us through the physiological response in our bodies if we don't feel ALL our feelings. It might shock you……………...

We all have negative and positive feelings, but we have not been encouraged to feel all our feelings, in fact, quite the opposite.

As children we are often shown and taught that negative or strong emotions are wrong. For example, parents disapprove of children expressing emotions.

The focus on the power of positive thinking has many of us believing that it is not okay to have a bad mood or a negative thought or feeling.

In general, we have been socialised and conditioned to not feel what are perceived as "negative" feelings, so when they come up, we tend to block them out, change them or push them down.

Loretta explains that when these emotions get pushed down it is like storing garbage in our bodies and if you have garbage in your body day after day, and year after year, your body will break down over time.

Feeling your feelings will not kill you, but if they stay trapped in the body in the long term, they may.

AND - False positivity and pretend joy can have negative effects on our health.

We cannot shoot for only one side of the emotional spectrum and ignore the other if we want to be well (physically and mentally).

The more we feel our feelings, the less anxiety and therefore the less fight and flight response in the body. Feeling ALL our emotions activates the parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system.

In order to keep our immune system strong, we need to feel our feelings.

We discuss how we use all kinds of strategies to avoid feeling our feelings, but sooner or later they show up in our bodies as signs and symptoms. These signs and symptoms show us the possibility that we are suppressing emotions.

Loretta talks us trough a tool to surf the waves of emotion.

It takes time and practice to be able to work with emotions, but it has a hugely positive pay off on our physical and mental health.

We will be exploring this topic in a lot more depth, so watch out for future Episodes.

Not many people realise the health implications of their limiting beliefs and other psychological states.

The health implications are huge and medical science is showing this. There are many biological pathways connecting psychological processes and immune functioning.

Research is clearly showing how a range of long-term psychological states lead to a wide range of immune dysfunctions.

Once you understand this you will realise the immense danger to your health of, for example, viewing yourself as a victim, wanting to be in control or perceiving yourself to be under attack or unsafe.

Fear and not feeling feelings are the most damaging to our health.

In this Episode we talk you through this in detail. We explain how it happens and what you can do about it.

This information could be a complete game changer in your healing if you don't know it.

In this Episode we deep dive into the subject of Limiting Beliefs.

What are they, how do they develop and how do they affect our physical and mental health?

We talk through some limiting beliefs and how they produce certain coping strategies. It is these coping strategies that can have a negative influence on our health, and our life in general. We give specific examples.

The thing to know is this, these limiting beliefs are unknown to us as they are "hidden" in the unconscious. The beliefs develop in childhood and until we bring them into conscious awareness and "work" with them they run our lives without us even being aware of it.

These "unknown" beliefs, because of the way our brains operate, become a self-fulfilling prophecy. The RAS (Reticular activating system) looks for familiarity to keep us "safe". This means we "unconsciously" attract and get in life what we believe.

So, it's important for us to bring these (limiting) beliefs into conscious awareness.

Antoinette and Loretta openly share their own limiting beliefs and coping strategies, how they play out in their lives and how they deal with them.

Lorretta offered a really amazing tool in this Episode in response to Antoinette"s very vulnerable share about her core limiting belief.

There are a lot of gold nuggets in this Episode.

Drop Lorretta an email on Loretta Ferrucci [email protected] and she will send you (at no cost) a list of 12 limiting beliefs and how they may be affecting your life.

In this short clip Loretta explains what happens to our body chemistry and immune system when we experience long term conscious or hidden stress.

Uh-oh …. Technical stuff ! At this point you may want to run for cover. If this is the case, relax. You do not have to understand or memorise any of this information in order for the tools and methods we offer in the podcast to work. In fact, if technical information scares you, skip this Episode until it feels right.

Not understanding how these things work is not going to stop you from using the tools we offer to help yourself heal.

However, without some basic knowledge, we would be doing nothing more than asking you to trust what we say.

This knowledge will lead you to the door, but it cannot do the healing. Healing lies in the area beyond the door of intellect, in the realm of feelings and emotions but it can help you find that door.

Freud compared the human mind to an iceberg. He said that only about one-tenth of our mind is the tip of the iceberg, the conscious mind, the rest of our mind, 90%, is unconscious, and is submerged beneath the water.

This means that only a fragment of our ideas and feelings are conscious or known to us, while the vast bulk of our mental content is unconscious or "invisible .

Really understanding this is a very important starting point in your journey of becoming your own healer.

Bruce Lipton presented this iceberg model in this way :

By the age of 7 years old we have a programme in place, this programme comes about as a result of our childhood upbringing, socialisation, conditioning and trauma.

This programme is what is referred to above as the unconscious, it is the part below the iceberg , so the 90%.

It's the stuff we are not consciously aware of but is unknowingly running our lives and because of this programme we develop distorted beliefs, toxic thoughts and unhealthy coping mechanisms, as well as unknown stress responses.

It houses deeply ingrained limiting beliefs and emotions that can manifest as physical symptoms.

The programme will run the show until it is reprogrammed, and this doesn't just happen from thoughts or knowledge alone. It takes time, commitment and tools.

We hope to walk you through this journey, so stay tuned.

Why you may be asking is this important information in relation to you helping yourself physically heal your body?

Our thoughts, feelings, and experiences can create physiological responses in the body, affecting our body chemistry, immune system, hormone levels, and overall well-being.

Unconscious (unknown) anxiety and hidden stress may present as physical and mental health symptoms that we don't notice.

Medical scientific research is showing that in the long run this causes illnesses, especially cancer, autoimmune, diabetes and heart disease. Beliefs are translated in chemistry that will not support our health and vitality.

The unconscious mind plays out on our body, as the body/mind believes that they're living in the same unhappy experience that was in the past and therefore keep producing cascades of stress responses in that same cycle.

We will be digging deeper into this and looking at specific diseases.

For now, just to say that, physical symptoms of unconscious anxiety include muscle tension, headaches, fatigue, sweating, gastrointestinal disruptions, or changes in sleep patterns.

These physical symptoms occur without a clear cause or trigger but will persist because of underlying unknown stress and over time can lead to some serious health issues such as cancer or diabetes.

We humans sadly have become so used the living like this and as such unfortunately do not pay attention to these symptoms or we medicate them away.

About your podcast hosts :

Loretta Ferrucci

I worked fulltime as a homeopath in private practice for 27 years. I also studied acupuncture and various other healing modalities allowing me to focus on the physical, mental, emotional and energetic aspects of my patient's health.

I was frustrated at the fact that people changed their lifestyle when they were sick, healed and in many cases reverted to the same life style that made them sick in the first place.

I started looking into why we unknowingly sabotage our health and this led me down the path of discovering the impact of hidden stressors such as unresolved trauma, supressed emotion, unconscious limiting beliefs and their impact on health.

In 2020 I closed my homeopathic practice and started an online coaching business, helping people with chronic disease uncover the unconscious factors that make and keep them sick and teaching them to create vibrant health instead.

Antoinette McInnes

I got a brutal cancer 7 years ago on a very healthy anti-cancer lifestyle. I was puzzled until somebody gave me a book on Psychoneuroimmunology . This is a fairly recent medical science that connects health psychology and medicine. It looks at the relationship between social, mental and emotional factor and the body's immune system.

I knew then what had triggered my cancer and where my healing lay. I needed to heal those parts of myself that were out of kilter mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I have done 1000's of hours of research and practiced what I learnt on myself.

I not only am free of cancer now but have turned my whole life around. My passion is to share all I know and that has healed me to help others.

It is critically important that we take control of our own healing. We explore why this is.

This topic is being talked about a lot at the moment which is very exciting. At this time in history with so many external pressures and many people experiencing health issues, now more than ever, it is critical that we take back our power and empower ourselves to become our own healers. The world has unfortunately not encouraged us to participate in our own healing. We have been conditioned to give over our own inner power to outside healers. Gary says each person's journey to healing is unique so outside help can play a role, but until we can access our intuition and higher self, we will not be able to know what we need to heal. Gary has been practicing this for a very long time in his own life. To the point that he can heal himself of terminal cancer, has no fear no matter what, always sees a silver lining and can rise above the awful. Gary does get outside help but also takes full responsibility for his own healing. To quote him, "If you are not participating in your own healing, in what you want and where you want it to go, then it's not going to go well". Gary is convinced that those who heal are committed, patient and are their own advocates. They use their own Spirit, inner guidance, and Soul to navigate life and healing. There is always a way he says, but it is up to us to find it, we will not find it outside ourselves. In this Episode Gary takes us through what it means and what is required for us to be our own healers. Knowing what Gary brings in this Episode could truly save your life or at the minimum really change it. I don't say this lightly as I have used what Gary teaches to stop a very severe anaphylactic reaction that was choking me. Without using Gary's wisdom, I am sure I would have been in some very serious trouble. So do take a listen and take note of the wisdom and tools that Gary shares as he guides us through what it means to become our own healers and how we can do it !!! Let us stop giving away our power to anything outside of ourselves. We find it hard to believe that we have this massive inner power. It's time to break out of this programming. We are always safe and in control unless we really don't believe it. It's up to us as individuals !!! We are magnificent no matter what and we are all powerful, far more than we realise !! Gary takes us through how to access this and how to live in this space.
