The Healing Journey: What people don’t tell you

Healing is a life long journey. If you recently became conscious of your journey, it really began many, many years ago when you first took on other’s pain, or journeyed through your own trauma. 

It is likely that every time you work through karma or any emotional and physical pain, you are subconsciously healing a wound. There are many different layers to the wound and until you consciously embark on your healing journey, you don’t realise how deep the healing goes. 

The catalyst for your nervous system repair. 

Your body is in constant repair. It is our natural state, however, if you are constantly in the sympathetic state of fight and flight, healing is impaired.

Conscious healing is returning the nervous system into the parasympathetic state of rest, digest and heal. 

In my experience, healing is triggered - often by a traumatic experience, or through someone else - a catalyst that sets off a realisation that life has to change. Big moments like these are usually when people consciously embark on their healing journey. 

For me, that catalyst was my daughter. At 5 years old, she was mirroring a subconscious habit of mine - a behaviour that I hated seeing in her. I realised in that moment of reflection that if I wanted her to be the best version of herself, I had to model it first.

My actions and mindset were more influential than I had thought. 

The wound.

I already knew I needed to change. The years leading up to this moment had been hard. I was suffering with undiagnosed (or rather self diagnosed) clinical depression. I initially blamed it on hormones as it cycled with my period. But it deepened. My husband noticed I fell deeper into depressive cycles. The cycles lingered for longer. Time between non-depressive days became fewer. I was constantly exhausted. 

I also wasn’t sleeping. I would create horrible scenarios in my mind (in the fear that it might happen), solve the problem and then add another horrible scenario on top.

There was one night where I had an imaginary tiger clawing at our bedroom doors while a fire started in the kitchen. I somehow had to save my children from both a tiger and a fire.

My imagination had reached new heights. I mean… how likely would a tiger happen to come into our house? Let alone a fire happening at the same time. 

Maybe this was why I fell into deep depressive states. I was worried about a future that was extremely unlikely to happen. My mind was constantly trying to fight danger. 

It wasn’t healthy.

The journey begins.

Seeing how my mental health affected my children, that catapulted me into experimenting with alternative health. As a pharmacist at the time, I had seen patients become dependent on medication, and that was something I didn’t want. 

There was also a part of me that I knew I could fight it myself. If my mind had the power to imagine tigers and fires, it was powerful enough to change my perception though thought alone. 

I started with my breath, relaxing my nervous system through simple breathing exercises.

Breathing in for 4 counts

Holding for 2 counts 

Exhaling for 6 counts. 

What began as a decision to change my mental state, ended up being a deep spiritual journey with a realisation that I had psychic abilities. In fact, everyone has these abilities. 

What people don’t talk about 

When you start healing by releasing beliefs and trauma that tied you down, you become open to “frequencies” you couldn’t access before. 

Strange things start happening. 

• Pain disappears almost overnight. 

• You might encounter “beings”.

• You might feel more in touch with your senses and see through people’s facade.

• Your world may feel like life is falling apart, yet you are feeling more connected.

• You feel different - like a new person. The version of you from 1 year ago feels like a completely different person . 

If you are going through this phase of healing: You are NOT insane or crazy. 

You have simply broken down old belief systems linked to your trauma and shadows. A new belief system is created. When you change your internal reality, physical reality also changes. Your brain is able to better process information. The Reticular Activating System (RAS) stops searching for the old beliefs and starts creating patterns that align with your new reality. 

Perception is reality. 

Trust what you are seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, smelling. When your brain is able to process information and frequencies better, your senses heighten. Just because no one around you understands what you are sensing,.. It doesn’t mean it’s not real for you.  

As you heal through the layers you strip down towards your highest potential - your Higher Self. You may find yourself down a spiritual path and your gifts will be revealed. 

This can be unnerving if you are not expecting it and this journey can feel lonely. Unravelling old beliefs can see you falling out with people, as you become more empowered in your own truth. Be open to finding a new tribe to be around. Feel free to reach out if you need. 

Everyone’s journey is different. Mine has been about finding out why we become more psychic as we heal. 

The process starts by being open to the possibility. 

You are more capable and powerful than you ever thought possible.
