The Trauma Freedom Coach, Emma Elizabeth, is back to tell us about an inspiring new book which will be released on Thursday 3rd June 2021. Emma co-authored this unique collaborative book with 15 other women who have found their healing path; each author sharing their personal journeys in a bid to help and encourage others to heal, whilst raising funds for the charity NAPAC (supporting recovery from childhood abuse) www.napac.org.uk

In this episode Emma talks about parts of her own personal journey and why she has developed her '7-Step Transform from Trauma Blueprint' to help others turn their 'pain into power'. She also shares more information on the book launch and the contents of her chapter and talks openly about trauma and healing with Rebecca.

Emma is a delightful guest and her work shares some common themes with Ultimate Holistic Escapes. Emma & Rebecca chat about healing trauma on a level you may not have heard before and this may help you to become more open and accepting of your own personal trauma. In doing this you can choose the path of least resistance and find a way to work through it to reach and maintain a state of wellbeing. There is help out there for those wanting to break free and heal their life. Emma Elizabeth & Rebecca Griffin are fully qualified/certified therapists with extensive personal and professional experience in natural and proven methods of healing.

Join Rebecca as she shares some practical tips and tools for everyday stress management. Learn how to recognise symptoms and ways to let go so your body can enter rest and repair mode. When we are chronically stressed, we are out of balance for long periods of time and the body and mind suffers. Sometimes people don’t recognise this and this episode is here to help you do just that, as well as providing advice for reducing stress. Even if you think you don't have time, you do!

When we are in a state of chronic stress we miss out on things like joy, restful sleep, relaxation, socialising, hobbies and healthy activities. Stress is a major cause of disease. The physical body holds stress creating energetic blockages and illness. It also depletes the immune system. The tools are available to help you if you are committed to positive change.

“Without the thinking mind you are vulnerable, because there is no mask or illusion. There are no options, but to be here now, exactly as you are; as your purest self.”

This practice will help you to connect with your spirit as you let go of unnecessary conscious thoughts. Includes an intro followed by a guided meditation/visualisation practice and sound bath with crystal singing bowls tuned to the notes of the solar plexus, throat and crown chakras, Koshi chimes (aria) and gentle piano.

Our mind is extremely complex. It has layers of conditioning and instinctive thought processes that don't always serve us, and a default stress response that often goes to red alert when there isn’t really anything to feel stressed about. The inner dialogue that controls our actions and decisions can be our worst enemy or our closest friend. Our mind kids us into thinking we are under its control and we can sometimes feel trapped between its shadows and our truest self, which could be bursting to come into the spotlight!

We have the ability to tap into the mind and take control, and with consistent practice we can become the master of our own mind and seriously improve our lives. It is true that our thoughts can create (part of) our reality, but what if we go beyond thought? Beyond the conscious mind and deeper into our authentic self; our spirit. This is the place where we find the real truth. This is where we can access our own reality, purpose and egoless self. What comes as a result is all waiting for you, if you are prepared to explore!

Your body has its own internal natural healing system which is often overlooked. In this blogcast, Rebecca explains what 'healing' means within the world of holistic health and well-being and how it is closely related to a spiritual path. She also gives some useful advice and tips on how you can encourage your own inner healing system to come into force (quite easily!), which is something a lot of people neglect if they lead busy lives or are unaware of the importance of this aspect of health and wellness.

"Healing is positive flowing energy so when it is up against a negative force, it has resistance to contend with, therefore making it more difficult for the body to reach and maintain a state of balance."
