The universal laws of pairs of opposites can be seen inside your psychology. When you infatuate with a trait, you resent its opposite. When you resent a trait; you infatuate with its opposite. If you seek and are infatuated with someone, you fear their loss. If you avoid and resent someone, you seek their loss and fear their gain. These are pairs of opposites that run and permeate all human behavior. Lorretta Ferrucci beautifully unpacks the Law of Opposites and applies it in the most astouding way to everyday life, relationships, work and physical and mental health. She takes a neuroscience perspective while keeping it simple and practical. You can only gain by listening to this Episode.
What if crisis - illness, loss, grief... any disruption in our lives is an opportunity for renewal and healing?
In this episode our expert guest, Peter McLaughlin shares his powerful journey of healing from Leukemia and Lyme disease and how true healing and transformation begins when we uncover and resolve the root causes hidden beneath the surface.
Peter's work is dedicated to helping people resolve illness, anxiety, trauma, chronic weight struggles, grief, spiritual disconnection and much more. He does this by guiding people into and through deep unconscious healing.
In this Episode we explore:
- Why accessing the root cause is essential for healing and lasting recovery.
- The signs and symptoms we unknowingly miss – the early warning signs of a life or health crisis that often go unnoticed.
- How the body acts as a feedback mechanism, revealing truths we may not consciously see.
· Uncovering the role we played in getting ourselves to where we are so that we then have agency to change and heal.
· The lessons and opportunities hardhsip, suffering and illness can be break us open to.
We unpack :
· How the past runs our present.
· How what we have buried shapes our life and our health.
· How storing emotional toxins in the body acts like a poison over time which affects everything in our lives - physical and mental health, relationships, money, our overall quality of life and more.
We also look at the link between the subconscious and self-sabotage :
- How self-sabotage can be an unconscious protective mechanism
- Practical ways to stop self-sabotaging and move toward growth and healing
This conversation invites you to view your illness or broken as a potential wake-up call and a catalyst for personal growth. Hardship, suffering, illness aren't something to fight but a message from our lives /our body waiting to be heard.
We invite you to go toward your broken, your hard, your suffering. To lean into your illness. To uncover what is hidden and discover the healing potential waiting within you.
Whether you're navigating a life or health challenge or simply curious about the deeper meaning behind life's crises, this episode offers insight, compassion, and practical tools to help you grow through what you go through.

As we witness the madness and evil playing out in our world, we think we will all agree that we are in the middle of a collective psychosis, a breakdown of magnificent proportions.
We are all connected, all one, therefore this collective psychosis is reflecting something to us and within us as individuals.
Paul Levy says the origin of this collective madness is to be found in the psyche - this collective psychosis, he says, reflects something within us, in our individual psyches. We have unknowingly put ourselves under a spell, a mind virus, he says. It's not a literal virus but a metaphor for invasive mental states that prevent true awakening and connection. Is this why we as individuals too are going through our own individual crises/breakdowns in one way or another? Have we fallen asleep to our True Divine Nature?
Richard Rohr calls it Stinking Thinking which he says is the tendency of individuals to be addicted to their habitual ways of doing and thinking. This manifests in the form of self-defeating thoughts that keep us stuck in fear and conflict. It also causes resistance and prevents us from achieving our dreams and living our best life. This universal addiction fuels suffering and perpetuates cycles of harm in individuals and societies.
So then, the medicine for this time is acknowledging and breaking free from these patterns, confronting these deep-seated mindsets in order to spiritually transform and reunite with Who We Really Are.
This means we have to search in the dissociated parts of ourselves, confronting the "darkness" within ourselves in order to reclaim our Magical Self. Revelation comes from the darkness not from above. To quote Carl Jung " The Light is Hidden in the Darkness".
True awakening requires us to connect with the reality of our psyche, getting into right relationship with our minds and accessing our unconscious coping patterns. This comes with discomfort, blind spots and messiness. The ego is a wide rocky path while the Soul path is narrow and the ego does not easily lie down, in fact it amplifies when we start truly awakening.
Deep self-reflection and inner work are required to remove the obstacles that prevent God from taking effect in our Soul.
No amount of knowledge, will power or meditation on its own can get us there. Rather it is a lifelong psychological process by which we integrate the conscious and unconscious aspects of the psyche to achieve wholeness and self-realization (Carl Jung).
This is a journey we need to take alone but we also cannot take alone. We need the right help, guidance, connection, wisdom knowledge and support.
It is with this is in mind that we created the Inner Healing Hub :
The Hub provides empowering knowledge possibly opening your mind to new perspectives, a different way of doing things and gentle but practical guidance by those ahead on the journey or tried, tested and trained coaches.
What makes the hub unique is that it empowers and guides in a very holistic way. Incorporating shadow and light, fun, connection, sacred practice, deep inner work and support for you as an energetic being.
The Hub is a safe space for togetherness, connection, shared discovery, vulnerability and gentle accountability. We will meet you where you are at.
INVITATION :
We would love you to join us for a No Cost Zoom session where we will introduce you to The Hub, why we created it, our philosophy behind it and how it will work.

The Inner Healing Hub
We live in a time where we probably know more about health and healing than any generation before us. There is more access to spiritual wisdom, courses, tools and self-help teachers …. YET - So many of us find ourselves on the bathroom floor so to say. This can and is taking many forms : Broke, broken, burned-out, sick, mentally stressed, anxious, depressed, suicidal even or even a number of "crises" together. Others of us are finding that we do not have particularly pressing external situations, but we are feeling more out of kilter than ever. We might be finding ourselves in a space where we have done a lifetime of spiritual work, many years of self-healing and yet we feel more anxious, burned out, confused, disconnected, lost and Soul Weary than ever. We are doing what we think are all the "right things" but still struggling, or we just can't get ourselves to stay on track with the "right things". We know there is more but just can't access it or it feels out of reach. If any of this resonates or has hit a cord … Firstly - You are not alone !! Secondly - What if this is your biggest opportunity? The way we hold our suffering, move through our hard, can become a doorway to our true Divine nature. "Suffering is a lesson exquisitely designed to help us learn", to quote IFS psychologist Robert Falconer. Healing is unlocked from within and the higher self will restore everything as we are built on Sacred Geometry. The thing is this though - there is no way out but through, and bringing the light FROM it will depend on how we interpret our experience, move through it and what we do with it. This is where it can get tricky and sticky as the contents of our unconscious unfurl, also healing requires us to look at things differently and it is something we need to do alone but also can't do alone. Connection, support and a safe space to authentically express ourselves, be guided and held is invaluable, so is wisdom knowledge and insight from those ahead on the journey. In fact we would say essential ! This is why we have been guided to and spent much time creating a community and connection space called The Inner Healing Hub. Our vision is to build a community of people committed to healing, a safe space to connect and be authentically heard, also to be held and guided by each other or someone ahead on the journey. We would love you to join us on 18 March 2026 to learn more. Come as you are ………. Bring a friend. We would be so honoured to have you there and to share our vision and what the Hub is all about. There is no cost. Feel into it. You will know if you are being called to join us. Your Inner knowing will whisper or maybe even shout. 18 March 6pm - 7:30pm South African time (SAST) Click on the zoom link to register

What if a diagnosis wasn't the end of your health story, but the beginning of a new one
In this episode, Dr. Amy Behimer joins Antoinette to share her journey of navigating multiple autoimmune conditions while living a vibrant, inspired life—and helping others do the same.
Antoinette and Dr. Amy Behimer dive into the paradox of autoimmune disease: how symptoms and limitations can exist alongside joy, purpose, and thriving. Dr. Amy, who has lived with multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diagnoses since her early 20s, reframes the narrative by focusing on autoimmune health rather than illness.
Together, they explore the mental underpinnings of autoimmune conditions, the holistic habits that sustain recovery, and the power of community and connection in healing.
This conversation is both deeply personal and profoundly practical, offering listeners a roadmap to reclaiming wellness from the inside out. If you are looking for better health with your autoimmune diagnosis this Episode is for you.
Key Takeaways
- Why a diagnosis can be the beginning of transformation, not the end
- The body's wisdom: symptoms as messages and opportunities for growth
- The paradox of living fully while navigating limitations
- Daily habits and holistic practices that support autoimmune health
- How to stay in recovery
Dr. Amy Behimer is a board-certified health and wellness coach and doctor of pharmacy who lives with and helps women with autoimmune disease feel better and function better using simple, science-backed habits. Her work focuses on moving people out of "doing everything right" and into a sustainable approach that actually fits real life. Through coaching and her podcast, Autoimmune Health Secrets, Amy helps women work with their bodies by paying attention to how they think, feel, and act each day. She believes better health isn't built through perfection or willpower, but by learning the skill of habit change with clarity, compassion, and support.

In this episode, we explore the Dark Night of the Soul—both as a collective experience humanity is facing and as an intimate, personal journey of transformation.
These times may feel terrifying, confusing, and overwhelming, yet they also hold the potential for rebirth into our True Divine Nature.
Drawing on wisdom from mystics and psychospiritual teachers such as Andrew Harvey, Richard Rohr, Carl Jung, and Robert Falconer, we unpack how shadow work, suffering, and "stinking thinking" can be reframed as invitations to awakening.
We also introduce the Inner Healing Hub, a community membership space for safe, authentic connection, guidance, and community support designed to help you navigate uncertainty with courage and compassion. Launch in March 2026.
In this Episode we cover :
- What a Global Dark Night means and how it mirrors our individual psyches
- Insights from mystics and Jung on unconscious patterns, shadow work, and "stinking thinking"
- Why suffering and hardship can be a doorway to transformation rather than destruction
- How to reconnect with your Higher Self and embody your True Divine Nature
- The importance of community, guidance, and tools in navigating shadow and light
- An introduction to the Inner Healing Hub, our new initiative to be launched March 2026—a roadmap for healing and awakening, connection and support.
Key Quotes & Inspirations
- "The only way out is through."
- "Suffering isn't punishment—it's a lesson exquisitely designed to help us learn." — Robert Falconer
- "Any spirituality that does not go to the unconscious is not doing its job." — Richard Rohr
Resources & Links
- Learn more about Andrew Harvey's work on Sacred Activism and the Dark Night of the Soul
- Explore teachings from Richard Rohr and Carl Jung on shadow and transformation
- Connect with the Inner Healing Hub for guidance, tools, and community support
This is both a terrifying and exciting time. The choice is ours: extinction or awakening. If you feel called to embrace the invitation, join us as we walk each other home—through shadow into light, through brokenness into wholeness, through the Dark Night into the radiant truth of who we really are.

Episode Description
In this episode, we explore the energetic partnership between the liver and gallbladder, two organs that govern far more than physical detox and digestion.
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine and Energy Medicine perspective, this axis influences emotional flow, life direction, creativity, courage, and decision-making.
Imbalances in liver–gallbladder energy can show up as feeling stuck, irritable, overwhelmed, indecisive, disconnected from purpose, or emotionally suppressed, patterns so many people experience in modern life.
This Episode covers:
- What the liver and gallbladder govern energetically
- Why the liver is associated with vision, flow, and emotional movement
- How the gallbladder relates to courage, choice, and personal authority
- Common emotional and energetic signs of imbalance
- How suppressed emotions and unresolved tension impact this organ axis
- Why feeling "stuck" often reflects energetic stagnation
- The connection between life direction and physical vitality
When flow is restored in the liver and gallbladder energy, clarity returns — emotionally, energetically, and in life direction.
This conversation offers a deeper lens into how your body communicates through energy, emotion, and consciousness — and how restoring flow can support both vitality and clarity.

In today's episode, we explore where limiting beliefs originate, why they become so strong within us, and how early emotional experiences shape the way we see ourselves and the world.
We look at how the ego forms its identity, what happens when love or acknowledgment feels conditional, and why those early moments become internal truth.
We cover :
What are limiting beliefs?
We break down what they truly are (and what they are not), and why so many of us unknowingly live from them.
How are they formed?
We look at early childhood, individuation, ego development and the illusion of separation — the moment the mind begins to decide how things are.
Why do they feel so powerful?
You'll hear how the brain reinforces belief through neural wiring, emotional memory and pattern repetition — and why it becomes the path of least resistance.
Why insight alone isn't enough
Knowing your belief isn't the same as shifting it. We explore resistance, emotion stored in the limbic system, and why awareness can switch off once we think we've "figured it out."
The 12 core foundational beliefs
We introduce the twelve most common limiting beliefs and explain how they drive behaviour — you'll hear them explored in depth inside the episode.
This conversation is an invitation back to awareness — a deeper understanding of who you are beneath conditioning, wounding and survival patterning.
If you're curious about the beliefs shaping your life, this episode will open a doorway.

We often get praised for being hardworking, reliable, selfless, or endlessly positive. But what if those "good qualities" are actually unhealthy coping mechanisms in disguise?
In this episode, Antoinette unpacks the hidden side of behaviours like people‑pleasing, perfectionism, overworking, and constant optimism.
While society rewards them, they can quietly erode our mental and physical health.
You'll discover how these traits, when taken too far, mask stress, fuel burnout, and even contribute to long‑term health issues.
More importantly, you'll learn how to spot the difference between genuine strengths and unhealthy patterns — and why awareness is the first step toward healthier living.
Antoinette shares her personal journey of discovering these mechanisms after being diagnosed with cancer at age 56.
This Episode covers :
· How people‑pleasing can look like kindness but lead to resentment and anxiety
· Why perfectionism disguised as "high standards" increases stress and risk of heart disease
· The hidden costs of overworking and busyness on sleep, immunity, and emotional wellbeing
· How hyper‑independence often stems from trauma and can lead to isolation
· Why constant optimism can block healing and suppress real emotions
· The toll of caretaking and taking responsibility for everyone else's feelings and well being
· How humour and lightness can mask pain and prevent deeper connections
Why It Matters for our Health :
Chronic hidden stress is the most damaging kind. When coping mechanisms masquerade as good qualities, they keep us stuck in cycles that elevate cortisol, disrupt sleep, weaken immunity, and increase risks for anxiety, depression, and cardiovascular and other diseases. Over time, the body keeps the score.

In this Episode we explore the concept of "near enemies"—traits and emotional states that masquerade as virtues but subtly sabotage our self-growth, relationships and emotional integrity.
What if the very qualities you pride yourself on—compassion, honesty, equanimity, loving-kindness, are quietly being undermined by their deceptive cousins?
Near enemies are subtle distortions of noble qualities which are unknown to us until we uncover them. They feel familiar, even virtuous, but actually lack the wisdom and authenticity of their true counterparts. Applies to nearly any virtue we hope to cultivate.
While the far enemy is the clear opposite of the virtue, the near enemy appears close to the desired virtue but actually impedes it. Or we may simply confuse them for the 'true' virtue.
On the surface, near enemies may feel helpful or warranted but they can mislead us into thinking we are achieving what we hope to achieve when it is the opposite.
By their nature they are hard to recognize because they're very similar to positive traits and states of mind. Noticing and rejecting them requires self-awareness and vigilance, and it helps if you know what to look for.
In this Episode we:
· Give many examples of the difference between far enemies (obvious opposites) and near enemies (deceptive lookalikes)
Talk you through how to differentiate near enemies from noble virtues
Offer tools on how to change them
Whether you're on a spiritual path, a healing journey, or simply trying to be a better human, this episode will help you uncover the hidden patterns that hold you back—and guide you toward a more honest, connected and wholehearted life.

In this episode we invite you to explore the profound wisdom of your body—beyond the mind, beyond logic, and beyond the hustle of everyday life.
Many of us live from the neck up, treating the body as a mere vehicle that houses the brain.
But what if your body is actually your most accurate guidance system?
What if every ache, emotion, and sensation is a signal trying to reroute you back to alignment?
In this episode we unpack:
• Why we disconnect from our bodies and emotions
• How physical symptoms and emotional reactions act as feedback
• The role of perception in shaping our emotional landscape
• What it means to "speak GPS" and how to learn the language of your body
• How tuning in frees up energy and restores clarity
Whether you are sick, feeling off-track, overwhelmed, or simply curious about deepening your self-awareness, this episode offers a gentle nudge to reconnect with the wisdom within your body.

In this powerful episode, we dive deep into Gabor Maté's groundbreaking book When the Body Says No, exploring the profound connection between emotional repression, psychological stress, and chronic illness. From breast cancer to Alzheimer's, Maté reveals how our bodies often speak the truths we've been too afraid to voice.
What You'll Learn
- How chronic stress embeds itself in our cells—not just our minds
- Why saying "yes" too often can become a silent disease
- The impact of childhood emotional patterns on adult health (see Episode 54)
- Why compassion without boundaries leads to burnout
- How illness can be a message—not a punishment
- The importance of integrating science with personal story in healing
Seven Transformative Lessons from Maté :
-
The Body Keeps the Score of Silence. Suppressed emotions don't disappear—they manifest physically.
-
Saying "Yes" Too Often Becomes a Disease of Its Own. Boundaries are not selfish—they're survival.
-
Stress Is Not Just in the Mind, but in the Cells. Chronic stress erodes health slowly but powerfully.
-
Childhood Patterns Echo in Adult Illness. Early emotional suppression can shape lifelong health.
-
Compassion Without Boundaries Becomes Self-Destruction. True compassion includes care for the self.
-
Illness Is Not Blame, but Message. Our bodies speak when our voices don't.
-
Healing Requires Both Science and Story. Medicine must meet meaning for true healing.
This episode may stir discomfort—but it also offers hope. As Maté reminds us, the most dangerous wounds are often invisible. But by listening to our bodies, honouring our emotions, and setting boundaries, we can reclaim our health and our wholeness.
Also listen to:
- Episode 55 : The impact of in-utero and childhood adversity on adult illness
- Episode 60: The Body as Messenger
- Episode 3 : The cost of hidden stress
If this resonates, it's an invitation to the Better Alternative: Embodied, Integrative Wellness and healing.

Episode Overview
In this soul-stirring episode, we explore the profound idea that our bodies are not just physical vessels—they are messengers of our emotional, energetic, and spiritual well-being.
When illness arises, it may be more than a biological glitch; it could be a sacred signal from within, asking us to pause, listen, and realign.
Whether you're navigating a recent diagnosis, dealing with chronic symptoms, or simply feeling unwell without clear answers—this episode is for you
We unpack how physical symptoms often mirror our inner world and how tuning into your body's wisdom can unlock true healing and transformation.
Through Antoinette's personal cancer healing journey, other lived experiences and Loretta's coaching experiences, we offer practical tools to help you decode the messages your body may be sending.
You will Learn
- Why healing is more than treating symptoms—it's about understanding the mind-body-spirit connection
- How to ask your body what it needs and interpret its signals
- What the common emotional and spiritual roots of illness are
- Tools and practices to support your healing journey
Take a listen your body—and your soul—will thank you.
Takeaway
Your body is always speaking. Every ache, tension, or illness carries a message. When you learn to listen, you reclaim your power—not just to heal, but to transform.

In this Episode we explore this transformative question : "I do not know why suffering happens but what if we treat it as a lesson exquisitely designed to help us learn ? “ (Robert Falconer – IFS psychologist)
Hosts Antoinette McInnes and Loretta Ferrucci explore the radical idea that suffering—while painful and often misunderstood—can be a profound catalyst for healing, growth, and spiritual awakening.
You are not broken. You are human. And your suffering might just be the Missing Link in Your Healing.
Rather than bypassing or resisting pain, what if we leaned into it with curiosity and compassion?
What if suffering isn’t a detour, but the very path that leads us home to our true self?
Drawing from psychological and trauma therapy, spiritual traditions, and personal experience, this episode reframes suffering as a sacred teacher and profound healer.
You’ll learn how hardship can strip away illusion, reveal buried truths, and unlock deep healing when approached with the right energy.
Highlights:
- Why suffering is often misinterpreted—and how to shift your perspective
- The spiritual and psychological wisdom that sees pain as a portal
- How to hold suffering without being consumed by it
- Simple tools to navigate emotional and physical pain with grace
- The importance of meaning-making, resilience, and support in the healing journey
Practical Tools You’ll Learn:
- Cultivating inner stillness and emotional regulation
- Radical acceptance and reframing pain as a teacher
- Naming and locating suffering in the body
- Creating rituals to hold pain with reverence
- Asking deeper questions to unlock transformation
- Letting others witness your journey and offer support
Wisdom to take away from the Episode
“The way you approach suffering will determine whether it heals or annihilates.”
“Like fire that purifies gold, suffering can burn away the false and leave only the essential.”
“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” — Rumi
Caveat
This episode does not glorify suffering. Some pain is unjust and requires systemic change and support.
But when suffering arises, and we choose to meet it with intention, it can become the Missing Link in our healing.

Sleep is the hidden medicine your body cannot live without. Even if you think you know all there is to know about good sleep, take a listen - as always, we bring things from a different and wide view, including energetic, which is not included in many other more physical perspectives.
Sleep is essential for physical, mental, and emotional well-being, serving as a critical restorative process that the body cannot function properly without. Understanding its importance can significantly impact overall mental and physical health and daily performance.
Poor sleep affects various aspects of life, including mental clarity, emotional resilience, and overall physical health, leading to significant daily challenges. Lack of quality sleep can diminish one’s ability to cope with stress effectively.
The restoration that occurs during sleep includes tissue healing, hormone regulation, and brain detoxification, which are vital for maintaining optimal health. Sleep plays a crucial role in memory consolidation and emotional stability.
Sleep disturbances can create a vicious cycle of anxiety and poor sleep. Taking proactive steps to improve sleep quality is essential for overall well-being.
We cover :
- Why sleep outranks diet and exercise for overall well-being
- The surprising link between sleep and productivity, creativity, and longevity
- The role of sleep in brain detox and emotional regulation
- How poor sleep contributes to chronic illness and mental health disorders
- Tips for improving sleep hygiene and getting deeper, more restorative rest

Episode Overview
In this thought-provoking episode we explore the seductive appeal—and hidden dangers—of oversimplified self-help and spiritual practices.
Drawing on the work of psychologist and psychospiritual guide Robert Augustus Masters, who is renowned for integrating spirituality, trauma work, and psychological depth, we unpack the concepts of Two-Step Psychology and Feel-Good Spirituality and examine how these approaches can undermine genuine healing and even harm our physical health.
This episode isn’t about judgment—it’s about awakening. It’s a call to move beyond superficial wellness trends and embrace the messy, courageous work of true emotional and spiritual integration required to heal.
What You Will Learn
- Why true healing requires discomfort, depth, and emotional honesty
- Why “staying positive” can sometimes be a form of emotional repression
- How toxic positivity creates guilt and shame around natural emotions
- The illusion of control in the wellness culture—and its impact on health decisions
- The difference between body awareness and body dissociation
Health Implications
- Suppressed emotions and unresolved trauma can manifest as physical illness
- Oversimplified wellness narratives ignore socioeconomic and biological realities
- Holistic health demands integration—not escape or denial
- Sometimes people ignore symptoms completely or try fix them themselves and don’t seek real help.

- When the body says no by Gabore Mate

Your gut is more than a place where food is digested — it’s home to trillions of microbes, a “second brain,” and the largest part of your immune system. At the same time, ancient traditions like Jin Shin Jyutsu and Chinese Medicine see the intestines as centres of discernment and letting go.
In this episode Loretta explores how modern science and ancient wisdom meet in the gut.
You’ll learn how the microbiome shapes mood and immunity, why the gut–brain axis affects emotional health, and how energetic traditions remind us to take in what nourishes and release what no longer serves.
Practical tips included — from simple ways to feed your microbiome to recognising emotional “constipation” and finding balance through body, mind, and spirit.
Why This Matters
When we understand the gut not only as a physical centre but also as an energetic and emotional hub, healing becomes multidimensional. It’s not just about digestion — it’s about clarity, resilience, adaptability, and harmony in every aspect of life.

In this Episode mind-body coach, Hatumbra, recounts early life sensitivity, anxiety, chronic illness, and multiple medical experiences leading to self-directed healing.
She shares her Chronic Illness Journey of enduring chronic conditions such as hypothyroidism, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic pelvic pain, autoimmune sensitivities, and the long process of seeking understanding and relief.
She takes us through her journey from childhood to now and how taking an integrative healing approach which addresses body, mind, emotions, energy, and spirit as an interconnected system was the key to managing her conditions and living her best life.
She offers us practical steps for integrating mind-body coaching into daily life without seeking a once off “cure”.
Includes step-by-step grounding, breathing, and sensory awareness practices. This is GOLD!
She talks us through the following key parts of her journey :
· How she regulates her nervous system to improve daily functioning rather than curing every symptom.
The practical daily tools she uses to support energy and resilience. She talks us through a short practical tool she regularly uses.
Breathing and grounding practices. She shares the practical techniques she uses, introduced to bring herself into the present moment, reduce fight-or-flight responses, and restore parasympathetic balance.
· The role that careful food selection, hydration and sun exposure play for energy and mitochondrial support.
· Social connection and acceptance, how building a sense of belonging and maintaining supportive relationships are crucial to her well-being.
· Energetic and Spiritual Dimensions of her healing, underscoring the belief that healing involves energy fields, spirit, and a relationship with the natural world.
· Accepting chronic pain while gradually expanding capacity through small, consistent steps.
In this Episode we also discuss :
· Cautions against universal “cures” and rather stressing individualized, moment-to-moment awareness.
· The role of energy healing and therapy and how they contribute to stabilization and self-knowledge.
· Hatumbra’s emphasis on acceptance, self-management, and gradual improvement rather than a quick cure.
Summary
Hatumbra emphasises a holistic approach to healing, emphasizing the interconnection between physical health, emotions, energy, and spirituality. This approach views the person as an integrated system where body, emotions, energy, and spirit influence one another.

In this episode, we explore the heart not just as a physical pump—but as a powerful emotional, energetic, and spiritual center that shapes every part of our health and experience.
From its role in cardiovascular disease to its place in ancient healing traditions, we dive into how the heart communicates, protects, and guides us—and what happens when it becomes blocked or overwhelmed.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
• Why heart disease remains the #1 cause of death worldwide—and what physical, emotional, and energetic factors contribute to that
• How the heart’s electromagnetic field is 60–100x stronger than the brain’s—and why your heart is your body’s real command center
• What Chinese Medicine teaches about the heart as the home of Shen (spirit), and how emotional trauma can disturb this vital energy
• The role of the thymus gland—its physical immune function and its energetic link to forgiveness, self-worth, and spiritual trust
• Jin Shin Jyutsu insights on the heart and thymus: Safety Energy Locks 10, 13, and 22—and how they help us receive and express love
• Psychosomatic causes of heart conditions like heart attacks, high blood pressure, and stroke—especially when love, security, and identity are threatened
• The heart chakra (Anahata) as the center of unconditional love, creativity, and divine will—and how it connects the lower survival instincts to higher spiritual purpose
Key Themes:
• Healing the heart as an emotional and energetic process—not just a physical one • How early trauma, survival stress, and self-protection shape the heart’s rhythm and field • Reclaiming the wisdom of the heart through presence, coherence, forgiveness, and self-love

Menopause is more than a physical event—it is a profound energetic shift and spiritual initiation.
In this episode, we explore menopause through the lens of energy and transformation, revealing how this stage of life invites us to step into a new level of authenticity, creativity, and personal power.
You’ll hear about:
- The energetic changes that accompany menopause and how they affect your emotional and spiritual landscape
- Why old, unresolved patterns and buried emotions often rise to the surface during this transition
- The deeper meaning of symptoms like hot flushes, insomnia, and anxiety—seen as the body’s way of pushing unprocessed energy to the surface
- The role of the kidneys and Shen (spirit) in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and why menopause is considered a natural turning inward
- Why menopause is less about decline and more about refinement, clarity, and becoming more fully yourself
This episode offers a refreshing and empowering perspective on menopause—not as an ending, but as a rite of passage into deeper wisdom and wholeness.

In this episode, we explore thyroid health through a truly holistic lens—blending the physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual aspects of this powerful gland.
You’ll learn:
· What the thyroid does and how it affects your entire body
· The role of T3, T4, and TSH in energy, mood, metabolism, and more
· How adrenal stress impacts thyroid function (and why healing your nervous system matters)
· The energetic significance of the throat chakra (Visuddha)—your center of truth, expression, and willpower
· The unconscious patterns often underlying thyroid disorders:
o Hypothyroidism: overwhelm, shutdown, lack of support
o Hyperthyroidism: perfectionism, pressure, overachievement
o Hashimoto’s: self-denial, fear of needs, childhood guilt
o Graves’ disease: suppressed anger, fear of expression, trauma
· How "right speech" and authentic self-expression support healing
· Jin Shin Jyutsu insights into the energetic flow around the thyroid
· Why reclaiming your voice, honoring your truth, and letting go of self-judgment may be the most powerful medicine of all
This episode is a reminder: thyroid symptoms aren’t random. They’re intelligent messages from your body and soul—asking you to listen more deeply, speak more truthfully, and live more authentically.

Orthorexia is an unhealthy obsession with “clean” or “pure” eating that can spiral into anxiety, isolation, and malnutrition. What begins as a desire for health can become a rigid, all-consuming pattern that disrupts life and well-being.
We unpack:
• What orthorexia is—and what it isn’t
• Key warning signs and symptoms to watch for
• How the clean eating movement and wellness culture can quietly fuel disordered eating • Why this trend is rising so rapidly in Western societies
• The physical and psychological toll of orthorexia • Who’s most at risk—and what makes certain people more vulnerable
• The role of perfectionism, anxiety, and social media in disordered eating • How to recognize when “healthy” has gone too far
• Treatment approaches that help rebuild a nourishing, balanced relationship with food
Key Takeaway:
There’s a fine line between nourishing your body and obsessing over food. Orthorexia hides behind the mask of health—but healing begins with awareness, compassion, and a return to balance.

If you have bulimia, anorexia, you emotionally eat or have any type of misaligned relationship with food (which most of us do) this Episode brings a whole new perspective on why you eat, or don’t eat and how to heal it.
Knowledge is a very good starting point for any healing and the perspective Marcia brings is breaking new ground in healing food issues. She also offers some very solid practical advice and tools.
Being in recovery from bulimia she speaks from a place of healing herself with the approach she offers.
To quote Marcia “It isn't about you reaching for food. It isn't about willpower or control. It's the inner conflict that's trying to find resolution, the emotion that's trying to be felt, the unheard part of yourself that's trying to be expressed. Our relationship with food is the symptom and not the failing”.
Marcia takes us through ways we can come back into alignment with our inner wisdom, our intuition and making decisions that guide our life and direction to true healing not just with food but with all of life.
Don’t miss this Episode. If you have an eating disorder or you are an emotional eater this Episode might be life changing.
If you think you have food taped this Episode is interesting and very eye opening.

In this Episode we open the conversation about our relationship with food and our eating habits, why this matters, and how it affects our health and well-being.
The obvious eating disorders are overeating, bulimia and anorexia. However, many of us, even if we are healthy eaters, have a misaligned relationship with food and very often we don't even know this until we become incredibly self-aware.
The thing is this - our relationship with food reflects the relationship we have with ourselves. Food is a symptom, our eating habits give us messages, showing us where we are out of alignment. And yes this does matter for your physical health.
Even if you think you have food and your eating habits taped, take a listen, you might just gain insight you had not even considered.
Loretta provides incredible insights into this topic; we discuss our own relationships with food and offer some powerful but simple tools.
This Episode will be followed next week with an exciting Episode called “Realigning yourself through your relationship with food” which we recorded with Marcia Tunmer (specialist eating coach and recovered bulimic )
The following week I will be diving more into Orthorexia (Obsessively healthy eating). Orthorexia Nervosa is on the verge of being classified as an eating disorder.
No matter how much you know about food and eating these three Episodes are interesting and very eye opening.

If you have a range of symptoms, may have had them for a long time and you cannot get a diagnosis or get to the bottom of them then take a listen to this Episode.
Antoinette had a wide range of symptoms spanning a four-year period, these symptoms were getting worse and worse. Many health practitioners and a wide array of tests later she still had no clarity as to why she was so sick. Finally, though she found the right Doctor and one simple test diagnosed pancreatic insufficiency. Boom !!!
This was the last thing Antoinette or the other health practitioners considered - the pancreas. This is because the pancreas is the most overlooked organ in our body, says Loretta.
In this episode she talks us through many symptoms and health issues can stem from the pancreas but that can often remain undiagnosed.
This is both fascinating and insightful and might just be a huge missing link in diagnosing your unspecified health issues and varying symptoms.

Why is it that we resist or even sabotage doing what we know is the right thing for our health, well-being and personal growth ?
For example, we have a burning desire to eat healthily but then find ourselves reaching for the third cookie or slice of pizza rather than the vegetables.
In this Episode we discuss this conflict between what we want to do (or know we should do) and what we feel like doing. The struggle between our long-term goals and the tempting whispers of instant gratification.
Understanding this is the first step to mastering it because it is easy to brush these off as moments of weakness and be upset with ourselves. Turns out though that this is just a natural part of being human and understanding the underpinning brain science is really helpful.
We explain how this battle of wills actually plays out in the intricate pathways of our brain called the Limbic System. We take a look into what Dr. Andrew Huberman defines as Limbic Friction which is the energy required to overcome anxiety, procrastination and/or fatigue.
This friction isn’t a flaw, it’s a feature. The challenge lies in recognizing when it serves us and when it derails our best-laid plans. There’s no magical off-switch for limbic friction. It’s a part of the intricate, beautiful, sometimes maddening tapestry of being human. But by understanding it, we are no longer at its mercy. We can ride its waves, harness its energy, and channel it towards our goals and dreams.
Limbic friction, in all its challenge, offers us profound gifts. It reminds us of our primal roots, pushes us to evolve, and presents wonderful opportunities for growth.
Being armed with knowledge is the first step. But in this Episode, we also offer some strategies and tools to recognise it and work with it so that it works for us rather than frustrating us.
In essence, designing a limbic-friendly lifestyle isn’t about stringent rules or constant battles. It’s more about understanding this beautiful dance between who we were, who we are, and who we aspire to be.
Every time we choose the challenging path over the easy one, we’re sculpting a stronger, wiser version of ourselves.
Take a listen for more as we shine a light on navigating the discomfort of life’s challenges and not eradicating them but learning to dance with them and harness them for growth and healing.
We talk you through embracing, celebrating, and mastering the beautiful mess of our brains and how to ride the wave, one mindful choice at a time.

When we get a diagnosis like cancer we are potentially faced with our mortality which evokes a lot of fear, and this is natural.
The thing is though that when we act from this place of fear, we not only compromise our immune system (see Episode 11), but we inadvertently focus on the very thing that we want to eradicate (the disease). We want to beat the cancer or destroy the illness.
This is normal when we are faced with something that threatens our survival. It is important though to know how to recognise this and how to work with it.
In this Episode Loretta offers incredible life changing insights, including why this happens and a short, simple, but very powerful process to step out of the fear and step into the unknown of the life and health we want.
This applies not just to illness but toxic relationships, careers, in fact to all of our lives.
The information in this Episode could completely change how you approach your healing.

In this Episode we talk through the REAL effect of alcohol on our physical and mental health.
There is a huge a knowledge deficit about the hard facts regarding alcohol and also a lot of misinformation.
We take you through scientifically researched information that the average drinker probably doesn’t know.
We cover the following :
- The hard-hitting facts and statistics about the effect of alcohol on our physical health and brain. For example, 7 types of cancer and 60 diseases have been linked to alcohol.
- How alcohol fuels anxiety, depression, other mental health issues, as well as poor sleep, a lack of energy, poor gut health, metabolism and dehydration among others.
- Whether it is possible to moderate and whether there is a safe limit ?
- We look at how stopping the booze goes way beyond being sober and healthier, sobriety is the springboard to self-development and a second lease on life.
- Sobriety is the new “IN”, especially among young people, 25% of whom in the UK are sober.

A trigger is an emotional response not equal to the event.
It is too big a reaction in relation to the external event. This is because it is a response to an unhealed emotional wound and our reaction is literally below our awareness.
Triggers make us human, and they happen to us at work, in relationships, and in interactions with complete strangers.
They are not bad as they give us an opportunity to observe and reflect which enables us to heal. When we heal triggers, we change the way we perceive the world around us and our interactions with the people in it.
If this sounds simple, it’s because it is. At the same time, it’s so difficult to practice because we are having an unconscious reaction during an emotional trigger.
If we can identify triggers and separate ourselves from the emotional reaction, we gain insight.
In this Episode we guide you through how to notice when you are triggered, how to identify your triggers and how to let your triggers be your teacher and use them for growth.
This work is difficult and takes time, but it is life-changing! Commit to it because you deserve to be Free.

To improve and grow, change is required. Effective change involves thought and emotion. Whether you are learning to ride a bike, lead in a new direction, embarking on self-healing or getting in better physical shape or proposing a project to renovate the house, this will be valuable information.
There are several change models out there but this one deals with the emotional aspects of change. It’s been adapted from Psychologists Don Kelley and Daryl Connor.
If you understand the emotional cycle of change, it normalizes the range of emotion that occurs and keeps you from going off the rails.
The Five Stages People Move Through Emotionally When Changing Behaviour :
-
Uninformed optimism
-
Informed pessimism
-
Valley of despair
-
Informed optimism
-
Success and fulfilment
Take a listen for the details of each of these stages.
Change will be an emotional ride but if you know the ride and embrace it, that is when real change happens.
Use the knowledge in this Episode to increase your chances of healthy change.
This information is very valuable for both those embarking on change, but also for coaches to make their clients aware.

The information in this Episode could be a turning point in your health if :
- You have ongoing pain and /or fatigue that remains undiagnosed.
- Pain that you just cannot shift after 3-6 months.
- Chronic fatigue.
- Fibromyalgia.
- Migraines.
- Autoimmune disease.
- Any mind-body syndrome.
Our guest, Simone Steyn, is creating a new frontier in the education and management of these “syndromes” by combining Mind-Body techniques with Psychology, Wellbeing Coaching, Psychoneuroimmunology and Pain Neuroscience.
According to Simone, people with pain-related syndromes often go undiagnosed or are incorrectly diagnosed, or if they do get an accurate diagnosis, they are not given pain neuroscience education which is a cornerstone for healing.
Pain is a complex and multifaceted experience produced by the brain that is there to keep us alive and as such acute pain is very necessary for our survival. BUT when pain becomes a chronic long-term condition and moves beyond the point of the body’s natural healing process (3-6 months), it can be assumed that this pain is no longer structural (arising from injury, physical trauma or inflammation) but is, what pain science calls, Mind-Body Syndromes).
Mind-body syndrome—or MBS — is a term used to describe real physical symptoms, like pain and fatigue, that are not caused by structural damage in the body but instead by the way the nervous system has become hypersensitive and is responding to stress, emotions, and past experiences.
According to Simone, neuroscience education is a critical starting point to starting the healing process for a mind-body syndrome. Insight and learning what is actually going on in your body and brain is the starting point to healing.
In this Episode she talks us through the basics of what you need to know about pain – neuroscience education and the body-brain connection.
Simone was diagnosed with a debilitating mind-body syndrome called fibromyalgia in 2014. The Dr had not given her any information about what this was or how to manage it. The lack of information resulted in her mind running wild with fear of this unknown label and her pain and symptoms getting worse.
So, she took it upon herself to study Interdisciplinary Pain Management through a well-known South African expert in the field, Prof Romy Parker at the University of Cape Town. What she learnt on this pain management postgraduate degree opened up her whole world and started her on a path to her own healing and wanting to combine her previous psychology training with helping those living with daily pain and suffering.
Simone has come a long way in her healing and recovery process and now works as a pain neuroplasticity coach to take others through this journey.
The healing path she takes her clients on is :
● Uncovering the root of your mind-body syndrome.
● Restoring a healthy mind-body connection.
● Rewiring the brain. Including how to communicate safety and calm to your primitive brain.
● Pain reprocessing therapy techniques e.g. somatic tracking and safety appraisal.
● Processing deep emotions if needed.
● Processing major events.
● Somatic and cognitive affirmations and how to use them.
● Finding your magic, inner purpose and accessing Higher Self by working with your inner parts in Internal Family Systems.
● Help you become your own healer.
● Incorporating humor and silliness into her work. (Humour cancels out fear).
● Relapse prevention training, including how to recognise when you have relapsed and implementing a recovery plan to get you back to your state of health.
Her expertise comes from extensive training and from her own fibromyalgia recovery journey. ( You will find her qualifications and other information on her website). PS There is loads of valuable free stuff there too.

Could your trust in the healthcare system be quietly putting your health at risk?
In this episode, we uncover iatrogenic disease—harm caused by medical treatment—and why it's on the rise. From adverse drug reactions to hospital-acquired infections, the stats are sobering—especially for older adults.
But there’s good news: prevention is powerful. We explore how lifestyle changes, like strength training and reconnecting with your body, can reduce mortality risk more than the most prescribed drugs.
This isn’t about fear—it’s about taking your power back.
🎧 Listen now to learn:
- What iatrogenic disease really means
- Why chronic disease prevention is missing from most medical advice
- How facing mortality can unlock better health
👉 It’s time to see what your body is capable of—with the right support.

People talk about healing and recovery but don't talk much about relapse.
Most of us go off track. But what is important is that we recognise the signs so as not to go all the way back to relapse.
Melissa Gissy Witherspoon (author of I am Sober – now what?) says that we relapse at several different levels before we get back to ill health, addiction, putting that weight back on, toxic thinking or old reactive coping strategies.
It is natural to have ups and downs, and we all have areas that have room for growth. Also, big external challenges can knock us off our feet and get us really triggered and depressed. We can get into our heads and find we can't get out of it. This is when we go back into old patterns. This is normal as we are human and we hurt, but when this happens what is important is to see the signs, catch ourselves and reset. If we don’t we start the relapsing process.
The 3 stages of relapse : (Melissa Gissy Witherspoon)
Stage 1 : Emotional relapse
This usually starts with a lack of self-care she says, for example lying in bed too long, not washing your hair, not doing your daily practise or skipping exercise and such things – it is different for everyone.
Melissa says that this sets off an alarm that she is slipping and that she must catch it.
It is not easy she says, but if you can see it as a mental alarm clock that shows you where you are getting to the place that is potentially dangerous, you can then check yourself, take a look at it and ask what does it mean? Why am I doing this ?
If you avoid or ignore these triggers or brush them off and don't deal with them then they catch up with you later. Stay in Stage 1 long enough without taking action, and you may move to Stage 2.
Stage 2 : Mental relapse
In this stage you will start to feel uncomfortable in your skin and you may skip activities that relieve triggers .
Important to identify when this is happening and how, some examples are :
-
Are you disconnecting?
-
Have you stopped reaching out to community?
-
Are you not going to work ?
-
Are you isolating?
-
Eating too much ?
-
Cancelling meetings and connections?
-
Feeling very irritable and reactive?
Once again different for each person. BUT this is big alarm stuff she says, and a danger zone which if not turned around or addressed leads to Stage 3.
Stage 3 : Physical relapse
Once you get to this stage it can get dangerous because then you can start falling back into a dip and getting sick again or going back into addictive behaviours.
It does not take away your hard work if you relapse, but it masks it as it covers you with guilt and shame and then takes a lot of work to get back up.
There are various triggers and if we recognise these at different stages, we can catch ourselves before this happens.
To quote Janet Gourand (Tribe Sober): “We each need to develop our own relapse prevention strategy, this includes coming up with a list of personal warning signs. Signs that we are not “doing the work”.
The advantage of knowing about these 3 stages is that you can keep your radar sharp for Relapse Warning Signs – all different for different people, but you need to be able to pick up if you are feeling a bit “off” as Melissa puts it – keeping a journal is a great way of monitoring your emotions and keeping track.

Most people’s life span far outstrips their health span, but it does not have to be this way.
Ageing is a natural process yes, but how we age is deeply influenced by the choices we make.
We can expect to decline as we age, but we don’t have to lose our mobility, flexibility, strength, balance, memory and joy to the extent that we can no longer derive any pleasure from life.
Healthy, functional ageing is a lifelong journey that involves nurturing the body, mind, and spirit.
Making intentional, daily choices empowers us to age not just gracefully, but vibrantly. And it is never too late to start.
If you want your health span to equal your life span take a listen to this Episode.
Dr Loretta Ferrucci takes us through not only the basics of proper nutrition, regular physical activity, and fostering a meaningful, purpose-driven life, she adds a whole new dimension to ageing gracefully and thriving at any age as he talks us through :
· The energetics of ageing.
· Diseases of ageing and their causes :
Including - Dementia, heart disease, strokes and tumours.
· Preparing for the 'Marginal Decade' (the last 10 years of our life).
What she covers is not just fascinating and eye opening it could be the missing link in us staying well and living well even in old age.
The earlier we start on this journey the better, but the good news is that it is never too late.
These are the past Episodes that Loretta was referring to :
Ep 4 : Are your unconscious beliefs and coping mechanisms making you sick
Ep 6 : Limiting beliefs and coping strategies are unconscious traps
Ep 7: How limiting beliefs make us sick
Ep 8 : Emotions kill or cure
Ep 9 : How to feel your feelings
Ep 10 : Bringing the unconscious into conscious awareness
Ep 11: Fear is the greatest obstacle to healing
Ep 13 : Your secret healing weapon, the energy body

At age 24 a severe health crisis stopped Ryan in his tracks.
He was puzzled. Not only was he young but he was living a very clean, active and healthy lifestyle.
Despite focusing on becoming even more healthy, consulting Doctors and taking medication, Ryans’ chest and lung issues got worse to the point of needing a lumbar puncture.
One day he sat down and decided that in order to heal he needed to take stock of his life.
He asked himself the question : “What direction is my life taking and is this the direction I want to be in” ?
“Where am I lost, where am I not treating myself well” ?
The realisation came that he had deep inner work to do.
He saw that the person he was becoming was not the person he wanted to be and because of this he was not at peace and that was why he was sick.
He saw the many layers of coping mechanisms and false characteristics that had layered his authentic self.
He knew he had to peel back these layers that he had subconsciously built up over the years.
Each layer took him to a deeper point of understanding as it revealed fears and unresolved lack of trust in the world.
This became a journey to quote him “lead to my “ego death” and finding my “true essence” (Higher Self)”.
Ryan came through this process with an understanding and deeper sense of himself, of who he Really Was .
This journey not only retuned him to full physical health but set him on a path to start his life on a clean slate.
To quote Ryan : “Our physical self is a personification of our mental state. This internal battle of mine had revealed itself in my body and my physical health”.
“All the symptoms of an unhealthy spirit and mind will manifest in the physical world” says Ryan.
Ryan’s story is riveting and inspiring and truly encapsulates the journey of healing from the inside out.
It speaks to the essence of the message we bring about healing on our podcast.

Disclaimer: What we bring should not be viewed as a stand-alone intervention, it should always be conducted alongside proper medical treatment (orthodox or natural), nutritional assistance, exercise and whatever else is appropriate for your illness. We are pointing out the relationship between hidden and other stress and disease.
Advice provided without warranty. This is NOT medical advice. By listening & applying this advice you agree to take 100% responsibility for your own healing and all consequences.
Being all in means committing to yourself and to your healing – no matter what!
It means making your healing your number one priority regardless of what else is going on in your life.
It means - Choose healing, prioritizing it !
Choose to heal and commit to that – make healing a project that you dedicate yourself to, not something that you dip you toe into occasionally. Make it your work!!!!
This doesn’t necessarily mean you have to ‘stop’ everything else that you may be doing, but it does involve making your healing the most important priority in your life.
It means that no matter what healing modality you have chosen, you commit to playing a role to be your own healer as well.
If you give your healing only 20% effort, 20% of your focus you can’t expect 100% results.
It’s like studying - only 20% of the course work for an exam and expecting to get a distinction. (Healing is more like getting a degree – it’s many exams over a long period of time.)
Focus on your healing as if your life depends on it because it does!
‘No matter what’ includes:
· Investing time, energy, money and other resources in your healing – this may mean having to give up other things or asking your spouse to care for the kids etc.
· It means going all in and doing the hard yards. Change does not happen in our comfort zones.
· Choose to focus on your healing despite your doubts and fears (not suppressing those doubts and fears).
· Committing to helping yourself to be your own healer rather than just giving your healing over to a Dr or drug treatment. (RRM survivors, each one of them took complete control over their own healing even if they did work with Drs, didn’t just listen to the authorities, worked alongside the authorities to help themselves heal).
· Taking a holistic view of healing. Healing is not a one size fits all and unique for each person. Healing is multifaceted. Where does your healing lie? This doesn’t mean you don’t work with a Dr or do a treatment, but what it does mean is that you also do the “work” from the inside out, play a role in your own healing.
· Don’t rush into a healing modality as Loretta always says. Fear means we dive into doing what XYZ Dr/Homeopath or our family say. Take a little time to dig into your intuition to see where YOUR healing path lies.
· It is going to mean that you make your own choices and choose your own path to healing even if those you care about disapprove of your choices. Don’t let anyone try to force what they believe you should do onto you. Refuse be swayed by them.
· Accessing your intuition to choose your healing path. May need help doing this.
· Have a true vision for your health and a vision for what you want in your life beyond your health – the ‘why’ behind why you would love to be healthy. Why do you want to live? The why doesn’t have to be about what you’re going to do but can also be about what type of person you would love to be in the world, how you will feel ...
· Take stock of your life, all areas of your life.
· Consider why you got sick, not to blame yourself but to look for a route of healing. Take stock of your life. Look at and reassess all areas of your life – where may things be out of balance – work, family, eating, exercise, relationships.
· Finding your authentic voice, who you really are and what your true needs and values are (may need to give up the idea of who you think you are, for example the person who doesn’t/shouldn’t get sick).
· Take away the things in your life that take up time, energy and resource
· Getting the right help
· Exercising your courage muscle, your commitment muscle.
What is really important
· Learning to connect to what you’d love to create in your life in terms of your health but also in terms of your relationships, service, money, career, influence/friendships etc.
Finding and connecting to what you really love in life. This part can be very difficult and take time. We all have a heart that is longing to create what it loves. Another way of saying that is that we all have a spirit that is longing to express itself in a unique way through us.
Get to truly know yourself
· Unconscious beliefs
· Stories you have about your life and experiences
· Your world view
· Your fears – conscious and unconscious
· How you speak to and about yourself and others
· Your thoughts, feelings and habits.
· This takes time and practice and above all requires compassionate self-awareness.
· Getting in touch with that part of you that is beyond your body and mind, that is eternal
· Connecting to what makes your heart/spirit soar
· Your relationship to the Divine/Universal Laws/Energy
· Your relationship to the earth, nature and all living things
· You may have to throw out ALL your belief systems as I had to and bring back what really is your truth, bring in new ones, or change your perspective on existing ones.
Why is ‘being all in’ difficult to do?
· Modern medical/healing paradigm and even alternative healing paradigm– focus on the physical and ‘fixing’ the disease condition rather than creating health. Also, often on one size fits all. The Dr/healer is the authority, and the patient has no “power” over his/her own healing.
· Must swim against the stream often – go against what Drs, naturopath, friends, family, society say.
· Fear of failure and/or being laughed at, criticized for our choices or going against the popular social norms. We don’t want to fail or be rejected for our choices. Swimming against the flow is difficult, but this is the place where extraordinary things happen.
· Wanting the disease to ‘go away’ or wanting to ‘fix’ what’s wrong without understanding the message/gift in the disease and what it’s trying to tell us.
· We want a quick fix and somebody else to solve our health problems.
· Not wanting to get out of our comfort zone. We want to heal, but we don’t want to pay the price. Usually because we’re scared that the price is going to be too ‘high’/difficult for us. We don’t want to give up things we love (sugar, wine) or have to do things that we don’t like (eat vegetables for example or feel our feelings or leave jobs or relationships or move).
· We don’t want to face the grief of not having the health that we have lost. We don’t want to face the truth of where we are right now because it’s painful for us. The gap between our reality and what we would love seems so big that we’d rather avoid the pain of facing that.
· Fighting, trying to conquer the disease or putting all your energy into being ‘strong’ or ‘positive’.
· We don’t want to do the “work”, we have been programmed and socialized that there are quick fixes. Not just allopathic but self-help and spiritual world. You must do “the work” if you’re all in, this takes time, effort, commitment and at times discomfort. Change/healing is not comfortable and takes effort.
· Pathways wired into our brain from childhood based on what worked when we were kids. We have to build new pathways, forge a new pathway in jungle of the brain. It’s hard to create new habits. Takes time and struggle.
· Fear of ‘what we might find about ourselves that we won’t like’ or of ‘digging’ up the past trauma or even changing our perspective of the past.
· Not staying curious/open. Thinking we know it all and don’t need to do the work. We ignore working on the things we think we’ve already done or already know.
A few tips for being ‘all in’
· Make your healing your primary goal, a project, your work.
· Find YOUR path to healing and throw everything you have at it. Know that the path to healing is not linear.
· Don’t give your power away, you are more powerful than you know.
· Choose boldness and don’t be afraid to swim upstream.
· Get to know yourself. Audit your life – your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, world view, stories about your past etc. I had to throw all my beliefs out …
· Figure where your Bliss lies, your best life -not anybody else’s or what healers or you tube says. Anita Moorjani said- Not everyone has to stop eating cake, some have to accept that eating a slice of delicious cake on the beachfront occasionally is where their joy lies
· Stay curious – don’t ever think you know.
· Get help – professional healing help, books, podcasts, therapy, coaching, doctors, healers etc.
· But also have to be brave enough and vulnerable enough to ask for help. Get your friend to look after kinds or ask for a lift to the hospital if you were single like me.
· It also requires saying YES more !!! To receiving help, to allowing what really inspires you, but first we have to figure that out – this can take time.
· Not feeling bad about looking after ourselves and saying what we need.
· Make space for solitude, time in nature, contemplation, nurture supportive relationships, and be part of a community.
Healing is about uncovering the hidden blocks that hinder us from moving toward what we want.
Healing is to change a pattern that is unwanted into a pattern that is wanted. This usually entails changing it for the better into the opposite pattern.
But change isn’t as straightforward as Point A to Point B.
It is very common that when people begin to heal something, they pendulum swing to the opposite extreme.
Here’s the pattern: You find yourself in an undesirable state. You realize that there’s a problem: something’s broken, and you want to fix it. But in fixing it, you often over-correct.
When we first decide to move away from what we don’t want and pursue what we think we want, it starts the swing.
The swinging between extremes can seem alarming, disorientating and scary but can help us find a new centre, a new balance, a new position which we wouldn’t have found had we not gone to the extremes first. Both extremes have something to offer, and when integrate them we get positive change.
After all, when we are swinging between extremes, we are exploring new ideas. We have a chance to listen to and consider a different perspective and to integrate the best of both sides, to come away with an expanded viewpoint and to find a new place to settle.
We need to be aware of the following :
-
The swing to the opposite can become unhealthy if we stay there too long and slip into the dysfunction that can exist on the opposite side of the scale.
-
If the pendulum swing is a dramatic reaction instead of a deliberately chosen response it can lead to problems.
But even if 1 or 2 do happen, the good news is that you can learn from anything that you do.
A person who does swing the pendulum will eventually feel the reality of the cause and effect (and therefore consequences) associated with that new extreme. And it will eventually cause them to alter their patterns more toward their actual healthy state of being.
But you can prevent the time this takes and the damage this can create both to you and to others by being aware of this typical pendulum swing of healing and by consciously discerning what genuine healing and genuine positive pattern change would look like instead.
This is what we discuss in this Episode. Loretta and Antoinette both give examples of how this has played out in their own lives.
Other examples paraphrased from an article by Teal Swan https://tealswan.com/resources/articles/the-pendulum-swing-in-healing-r428/ )
Some examples of pendulum swinging :
· Let’s imagine that a person is hurt by someone else. They experience the pain of being connected to and dependent on someone else. This person may begin to heal and swing the pendulum all the way over to disconnecting from others and becoming totally independent. Because of this, they slip into the illusion that it is possible to be separate and not depend on anything or anyone. They push people way. Deep down, they know they are very, very alone. They behave in ways that harm others because they are not genuinely connected to them. But because they are disconnected, they don’t even realize it. They and others will suffer from that new dysfunctional extreme.
Another example is let’s imagine a person who is addicted. They use addiction to avoid some pain within themselves that they cannot seem to resolve. They are in a perpetual state of “runaway” relative to themselves. This person might hear about shadow work and suddenly feel like there might be a way to solve their pain. This person may begin to heal and swing the pendulum all the way over to obsessively doing difficult shadow work processes all the time. This runs their nervous system into the ground, making their mental, emotional and physical bodies raw, being unable to effectively integrate and process and apply what they gain awareness of. And effectively giving themselves the damaging message that something is wrong with them and must be fixed immediately. Shadow work then becomes a different form of self-abuse. Because of this, they and others around them will suffer from that new dysfunctional extreme.
We offer the following tools/insights to avoid over corrections and find balance :
- Regular Self-Check-Ins: Assess physical, emotional, and mental state daily. Identify areas out of sync. Notice pendulums in your life.
- Mindful Adjustments: Make small, conscious adjustments based on your self-check-ins. This could involve changes to your routine, boundaries, or exploring new interests.
- Compassionate Reframing: View imbalance as a natural part of life and an opportunity to learn and grow. Ask yourself: "What can I learn from this?"
- Embrace Curiosity: Stay open to new experiences and let curiosity guide you towards learning and development.
- Identify your unique energy swings and harness them. Can you see moments where you have swung from one extreme to another and landed in a better place?
- Forget the idea of a fixed balance and acknowledge that our experiences, emotions, and interactions are constantly in flux. This shift in perspective encourages us to become more attuned to the signals from our mind, body, and environment. By listening to these internal cues, we can adjust on the go, fostering continuous growth.
- Acceptance fosters a sense of curiosity, a crucial tool for navigating these evolving needs. Curiosity allows us to explore new experiences and adjust our actions or thoughts to find what brings us back into a state of balance within the ever-shifting landscape of our lives. Embracing a pendulum lifestyle helps us to trust the process more.
- Trust the pendulum's rhythm, embrace change and the evolving pendulum. Understanding that swings are natural, and part of our growth allows us to let go of the need for constant stability. We learn to ride the waves, knowing that each swing is part of a larger pattern that contributes to our overall development and our ongoing pursuit of balance.

John Stevenson is a UK based Transformational Coach.
“True health” he says, “is not simply the absence of illness, but a vibrant state of harmony between body, mind, and spirit”.
He provides his clients with insights, tools and techniques that help them unlock their body’s natural ability to heal and thrive.
John draws both from his own experiences of overcoming personal and health challenges and his training in the Alexander Technique and Energy Alignment Method.
By integrating these two John offers a comprehensive approach that addresses both physical and energetic blockages.
It was one moment in John’s life that changed everything for him and started him on this journey.
John was loaded into an ambulance, struggling to breathe, gripped by fear, and then suddenly—relief. A paramedic inserted a cannula into the back of his hand, and moments later, he felt an icy liquid traveling through his veins. Instantly, his asthma disappeared. But when we he looked, the cannula wasn’t connected to anything.
That’s when he realized the truth: his mind had done it. He had imagined the freezing liquid flowing through him, and his body responded by healing itself.
This moment changed his life. It showed him the untapped power we all have—the ability to shift our reality and take control of our health with just our thoughts.
In this Episode John offers a unique Alexander based perspective on this. We talk about :
-
- The fractal cell/body/boundary perspective.
-
- The nervous system and regulation of it.
-
- Balance tuning through regulating our high and lower frequencies.
-
- The healing paradox.
-
- Self-love. It is easy but it’s not, it is one of the hardest things to do.
The basis of John’s work is getting people on that knife edge or bike ride of self-love so that they are able to heal themselves or to defend their boundaries in a particular moment.

We have more control over our bodies and our lives than we realise. This requires us being able to exercise our minds in the right way.
To harness the superpower of the mind we need to move away from freak out which is how we are naturally wired.
If you are sick, the mind can really help you heal, or it can create more harm.
In this Episode we talk through how to engage the mind to work with the body, how to harness the superpower of the mind and how to work with the freak out.
To paraphrase Pearl Buck :
“Rather than setting our minds up in such a way that we become fearful of the contents of our own consciousness, blocking out anything that is less than 100 percent positive, we might resolve to develop a friendlier attitude toward ourselves and our thoughts and emotions, trusting in our inherent goodness.”

You cannot create health until you can be honest about your current reality.
In fact, we can’t create anything until we are 100% real (with compassionate awareness) about exactly where we are at and what is TRULY going on RIGHT now !
This means we cannot bypass, deny or avoid the painful truth of our situation – ALL of our situation.
Acceptance requires the courage to permit the negative to inform our understanding without it defining our approach to the future.
It is the balance between full acceptance of where we are at (sick) but holding the vision of where we want to be (healthy).
This journey requires us to have full insight and acceptance of our internal state and our role in this without blaming ourselves.
It also requires reflection and acceptance of our outside world – our relationships, our jobs, how we live in the world and how this might need to change in order to help ourselves heal.

Cancer is on the rise globally.
In this Episode we :
Take a brief look at what cancer is and why it runs riot in some people and not others.
Why it is on the increase - Cancer is a complex disease influenced by a mixture of factors. We attempt to answer this question from our perspective by discussing:
- The role of chronic (long term) emotional and psychological stress
- Upset, fear, worry, anxiety, depression.
- The perception of not having control and a sense of being wounded.
- Unhealthy relationships or lack of connection.
- Fears and anxieties around failure and rejection.
Organ energetics around cancer.
The Missing Link in Your Healing Podcast has the goal of highlighting the possible Missing Links in our Health and Healing.
In this Episode what we discuss in terms of the underlying Psycho/Social Causes and Organ Energetics could be important information not often found out there.
If you have cancer, want to support someone who has cancer, or you are scared of getting cancer then this Episode is for you.
Refer back to these Epsiodes :
Ep 3 : Hidden stress - What is it and how does it make you sick
Ep 4: Are your unconscious beliefs and coping mechanisms making you sick
Ep 5: What is the affect of the stress response on your body?
Ep 7 : How limiting beliefs make us sick and how working with them can
Ep 10 : Bringing the unconscious into conscious awareness
Ep 11 : Fear is the greatest obstacle to healing
Ep 26 : Boundaries and autonomy are essential for health and healing

The answer is neither a simple yes or no. It is futile to reduce the cause of cancer or any other illness to a single origin.
BUT while we cannot say that any personality type causes cancer, certain personality features definitely increase the risk because they are more likely to generate psychological stress.
PNI and other research has shown that emotional experiences can be translated into potential damage in our bodies.
Repression (pushing down feelings for example), being unable to say no and lack of awareness of one's anger, for example, make it much more likely that a person will find themselves in situations where emotions are unexpressed, needs are ignored, and gentleness is exploited.
These situations are stress inducing, whether or not we are aware of it and repeated and multiplied over the years, this has the potential of harming the balance in our bodies and immune system.
So - It is stress-not personality per say-that undermines our bodies physiological balance and immune defences, predisposing us to disease or reducing our resistance to it.
Physiological stress, the stress on the body then, is the link between personality traits and disease.
Much of what we call personality is not actually a fixed set of traits, only coping mechanisms acquired in childhood, habitual defence mechanisms, a response to our external environment unconsciously adopted to keep us safe.
Certain traits-otherwise known as coping styles-magnify the risk for illness by increasing the likelihood of chronic stress.
People often identify with these habituated patterns, believing them to be an indispensable part of their personality.
Take a listen for more.

Allergies are a broad topic, so we focus in this Episode on skin type allergies, BUT this information applies to ALL allergies. The basic underlying tenents are the same.
What we offer in this Episode is a road map, not a definitive answer. A map that guides and gives you a place to start from.
Allergies are hypersensitivity reactions - to any number of things – something your body sees as an enemy and your immune system completely overreacts to. The body overreacts to something that isn’t normally a problem.
When addressing allergies a mistake we can make is to focus solely on the physical and not look at the mental, emotional and energetic. We absolutely can’t by-pass the body, but we also can’t by-pass the mind and emotions.
Loretta takes a detailed look in this Episode at allergies from an organ energetics, psychological and spiritual perspective. This information is invaluable and not usually easily attained in a summary such as in this Episode.
She talks through all the organs and energetics involved in an allergy reaction and how you can to use this information to help yourself heal.
Signs and symptoms are feedback, they are not random or a punishment, but rather a message from our bodies that something needs to be changed, integrated or healed.
The message can be really scary, even terrifying if we have allergies that go anaphylactic. But “terrifying” can drive you to get to the source, to the bottom of it, especially if Doctors can’t find anything wrong with you. If we are prepared to listen to the message it will guide you as to what to do next and the first steps to take.
We also cover :
· - There is no one size fits all treatment plan.
· - How the intuition will guide the next step but why we can’t or don’t successfully access and use it to heal because of unknown resistance. Resistance is discussed in detail.
· - There is no avoiding the parts that are really uncomfortable if we want to heal.
T Take a listen to Episode 27 where we discuss the importance of healing the past in order to heal an allergy.

When we get sick our bodies are giving us feedback, a message that something is out of kilter and needs to change.
This could be the food we eat, the lifetsyle we lead, a toxic relationship or any number of things and actually its never just one thing. Healing is multifaceted.
Also, often the feedback from the body is an indication that something is playing out unconsciously. If it is unconcious, we will consciously not know about it, but our bodies are sending us a message about this.
In this Episode we talk through an Energy Retrieval Process as a way to uncover unconscious triggers from past trauma and how this helps us heal physically.
We need to integrate ALL of ourselves in order to heal, so those parts of ourselves left behind in the past or a trauma need to be brought back and integrated.
When we have a trauma that impacts us mentally, emotionally, and spiritually we leave a portion of our energy in the event. If this is the case any therapies or processes we engage in to heal ourselves, will not be the whole picture if we do not bring back this energy from the past.
Antoinette, co-host of this podcast, had been suffering from an allergic reaction for quite a long time. At times it goes anaphylactic. So of course, she knew that her body is sending a message that something is out of kilter. She applied all the knowledge and tools that we put out to help herself heal this, but the allergy continued. This is because she only managed to get to the unconscious trigger once Loretta did an Energy Retrieval Process with her to bring back the part of her energy that was left behind in two past traumas.
This might sound very way out to many people. Antoinette was quite sceptical herself, but Loretta has seen amazing results in her practice when using this process to help her clients physically heal. So, Antoinette decided to let Loretta take her through this process.
The result was astounding !
We talk through all of this in this Episode. We share Antoinette’s Energy Retrieval Process and how it unveiled the unconscious trauma triggers from the past. Antoinette also shares how this positively assisted her in a BIG way.
What we talk through here not only applies to allergies, but it is also relevant to any immune related illness like autoimmune, cancer, diabetes, to name a few.
This undoubtedly could be a missing link in your healing.
Illness not only has a history, but it tells a history. It is a culmination of a lifelong history of struggle for self .
Mind and spirit can survive grievous physical injury, but repeatedly we see that the physical body begins to succumb when psychic integrity and freedom are jeopardised .
In the final analysis, disease is a boundary question.
When we look at the research that predicts who is likely to get ill, we will find that the people at greatest risk are those who have experienced the most severe boundary invasions before they were able to construct an autonomous sense of self. )Autonomy is the development of an internal centre of control).
(Paraphrased from Gabor Mate’s book : When the body says no)
In this Episode Loretta and I discuss in detail what is meant by boundaries and why, by and large, humans struggle to set and maintain boundaries.
We then relate this to getting sick and helping ourselves heal. Most importantly we discuss how the immune confusion that leads to disease reflects a failure to distinguish self from non-self, healing has to involve establishing or reclaiming the boundaries of an autonomous self.
The two books by Gabor that we mention are :
When the Body Says No and The Myth of Normal.

Healing is multifaceted and different for everybody. That is why it is so important to be able to access and use our intuition in order to play a role in our own healing.
Also, if we do not access our intuition to guide us on our healing path, we are at the mercy of other people telling us what to do.
In this Episode Loretta and I discuss :
-
How to know the difference between intuition and ego. They can easily be confused. Reality is trickier than we realise.
-
Intuition is the non-obvious and does not happen in a way that we would expect it to. It is seemingly contradictory to common sense. If we want to hone our intuition we need to keep rethinking the obvious route.
-
Following intuition is the emotionally difficult thing to do and requires us to accept psychological stress.
-
In order to access intuition, we need to rewire our brain away from the route we normally take. It requires a leap outside of our normal perceptive.
-
Intuition shows the way step by step.
We provide many real-life examples of the application of this to healing ourselves.
If you have been on a spiritual / self-healing path already you may think you have this intuition thing taped - but after listening to this Episode you may come away with another perspective or new insights.
We would love to get your feedback, comments or any questions on this Episode.

Intuition is the ability to understand something without needing to think about it, a sense of knowing how to react spontaneously without knowing why.
It is your inner GPS and a bridge between where you are now and where you would love to be. The inner voice of your spirit that guides you to your next step to create what you would love.
It transcends reason but does not contradict it.
Intuition is not only for the chosen few. Anyone can learn how to access it, you don’t need any special gift, talent or mystical ability.
In this Episode Loretta takes us through what we need to do to access our intuition and shares a simple structured process to do this.
Being able to access our intuition is critical to knowing what steps to take to help ourselves heal.

Dr Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, stated that “before we treat patients with medication, we first must remove the obstacles to cure”.
When we get sick, often our go to response is to get a diagnosis and a treatment plan – like medication or surgery. We don’t examine where the obstacles to cure may lie.
These obstacles can be physical, mental (conscious and unconscious), relational (relationships) or environmental. We discuss these in detail.
The information and insight is relevant to all “diseases” but in this Episode we apply it to Type 2 Diabetes as an example.
We examine the reasons why we do not address these obstacles to cure even when we do know what they are.
We also emphasize the importance of knowing that there’s no ‘one size fits all’ diet, treatment protocol, coaching tool, technique or therapy that will work the same for everyone.
BUT, when there are obvious obstacles, these need to be removed for healing to happen.

In Episode 21 we talked about how important it is to be emotionally balanced and energetically coherent in order to stay healthy and to help ourselves heal.
This week we offer a simple but powerful daily morning practice to attain this.
This daily practice played a very important role in me (Antoinette) helping myself heal from cancer.
We also offer some guidelines and tips regarding the ego resistance that will come up when you commit to a daily practice in order to help yourself heal.

In this Episode we talk through how important it is to be emotionally balanced and energetically coherent in order to stay healthy or to help ourselves heal.
Our bodies function optimally when we are internally coherent, it is also our best chance of healing ourselves if we are sick, and helps us face life’s inevitable challenges.

Are you using positivity in a way that doesn’t serve you ?
Is it a coping mechanism or avoidance strategy which you use to sidestep situations that make you feel emotionally uncomfortable?
Are you pushing down, suppressing or discounting/denying difficult emotions?
Is this making you sick or hindering your healing ?
While positivity may seem like an effective way of coping and there are benefits to being optimistic and happy…….
In terms of health and healing, toxic positivity, which rejects all difficult emotions in favour of a cheerful and often falsely positive facade, can make us sick and hinder our healing.
In this excellent Episode Loretta once again takes us into the Paradox and inspiringly leads us through why it isn't realistic or healthy to be okay and happy all the time.
This may be more important to your health then you realise.

There are always two points of view in every situation, including health and healing.
In this excellent clip Loretta talks us through how to be with our current reality (our illness) in all its fullness and realness, but at the same time confectioning to the vision of the health we would love to create.
Being able to be with, and work with this paradox is a very important part of our healing journey.

Show notes
Ep 17 : Recognising and allowing anger
Anger has become stigmatised and is probably the most unrecognised or bypassed feeling.
But as we said in last Episode :
· Anger causes stress in our bodies.
· Anger arises to tell us that our limits are being overstepped or our needs are not being met.
So, it is important to be more attentive to anger. To to feel it and appropriately and safely process it.
If you know how it is possible to move it out of your body.
We cannot go straight to doing something in our body however, it starts with self-awareness and witnessing ourselves. From there we can make embodied choices to intentionally heal it.
It is about not reaching for whatever it is that numb or soothes it over (alcohol, drugs, eating etc) but rather creating a safe space, a container to feel it and safely deal with it.
In this Episode we talk through:
· How to become aware of anger and how to safely allow it.
· Creating a safe container for anger with nervous system regulation.
· Alexander Technique – a simple but powerful tool to calm the nervous system.
· A few very simple tools to safely release anger.
In the next Episode we will present in detail a step-by-step process to safely feel, process and express anger.

The topic of anger is big, complex and often raises questions and objections. It can also become a confusing paradox.
Repression of anger predisposes us to disease and the experience of anger has been shown to promote healing or at least to prolong survival.
When anger is disarmed so is the immune system, but when the aggressive energy of anger is diverted inwards the immune system becomes confused, our physiological defences no longer protect us or may even turn mutinous attacking the body.
The unregulated release of anger however, such as explosion, fury and rage are not only inappropriate and harmful to the recipients of it but can also be deadly to the one who rages. In general, high blood pressure and heart disease are more likely to happen in people who openly display hostility.
Appropriately and safely acknowledging, feeling & expressing anger is important to our health and healing. That is what this Episode is about.
We cover :
- Anger is necessary and plays a very important role in our lives.
- Is something we all experience but by and large ignore.
- How to recognise anger and know the disguises it can come in.
- Repression and rage both represent a fear of the genuine expression of anger.
- It is important to go back to childhood.
- Anger compromises the immune system having a huge negative impact on our health.
- Suppression of anger increases the risk for cancer and other disease.
- Self vs non-self, boundaries, fear, perceived or real abandonment and unmet needs.
- Appreciation of nourishing inputs and the recognition of threats.
- Coping styles and anger.
- Expressing anger appropriately and safely.
- Healthy anger is an empowerment and a relaxation and leaves you, not the unbridled emotion, in charge.

Thank you for listening !
What message is your body sending you when it is in discomfort?
Is your nervous system trying to tell you something through symptoms such heart burn, indigestion, unspecified pain, sleeplessness, fatigue, panic, flaring anger, irritability or fear etc?
Could these sensations in your body be messages to let you know that you unconsciously feel unsafe or fearful for example ?
Is it possible that you are not attending to yourself and your body in the way that you should?
Be aware that emotions sit in the body.
Make a choice to listen to the messaging your body is giving you and then bring the body and yourself back into balance.
Create a container of space to heal rather than soothing or numbing by reaching for your favourite addiction to take your mind away from the discomfort.
Simple somatic practices can be a very powerful and quick way to get us back into balance physically, energetically, mentally and emotionally.
In this Episode I share a lying posture called STATIC BACK which brings me back into alignment within 15 minutes. It is simple and easy but don’t underestimate its effectiveness.
Static back
Static Back is a simple and effective posture that helps relax and realign the spine while relieving tension in the back, hips, neck, and shoulders.
The main purpose of it is to allow the body to relax and use gravity to settle the torso down to the floor.
Static Back uses the floor as a template to bring the back, spine, hips, shoulders, head, and neck to a neutral position.
Static Back is one of the “silver bullets” exercises for pain relief: whether it’s back, shoulder, neck, or hip.
How to do it
Get down on the floor, lie on your back, and put your legs on a chair, bed, or bench to create right angles at the hip and knee joints.
The upper legs should be against the chair and calves and heels on the chair.
Knees and ankles are hip width apart, feet relaxed.
Arms are palms up, at 45-degree angle from your body.
Relax and stay in this position from 5 to 30 minutes.
Important: breathe from your diaphragm – the abdominal area should rise as you inhale and fall as you exhale.
Static back comes from this book : Pain Free: A Revolutionary Method for Stopping Chronic Pain by Pete Egoscue.
Here is a You Tube Clip for Static back : https://youtu.be/p39wGYE_kJk?si=i_cSCMtWT1FGOyIX

A consistent daily morning practice can be a very important part of both physical and mental healing.
Visualisation with feeling is the daily morning practice that Antoinette started as part of her cancer healing journey. She says this was, and is, for her a very powerful tool for healing on all levels.
It is important to note that when you visualise, you must include the feeling of what you are visualising.
Linking any thoughts / visualisations with emotion is very powerful and helps to change you.
The subconscious plays out on our bodies, and we store our issues in our body, so even if you are not physically sick, it’s very powerful to do this to stay well and grounded.
If you are visualising yourself vibrantly healthy or joyful then evoke the feelings of these emotions. It is not always easy in the beginning to bring up the vision and even harder the feeling/s, but it will come over time.
Rather than making this daily practice something you must always get right, the most important is that you are consistent and do it every day. Prioritize it !
Sometimes it will feel hard or that you cannot evoke the feelings. Some days it will come easier and other days you may have many thoughts streaming through your mind which you can’t stop. Most important is not to feel that you are then failing, but just notice this without judgement and let it be, just let the thoughts pass and try not to hook into them.
It will not always be the zen or super healing experience that you want it to be. But the more you do it the easier and quicker you get into the deep connection with your body, your Divine self, the Oneness and self-healing.
Antoinette does two daily visualisations :
-
A Golden Sparkles body scan
-
A future life visualisation
In this Episode she shares the Golden Sparkles visualisation technique, how it worked for her and how to do it. The future Life visualisation will be shared in a future Episode.
Golden sparkles body scan
Imagine zillions of golden sparkles. Imagine that each golden sparkle is filled with unconditional love, joy and vibrant physical, mental and spiritual health.
Start at the top of your head and then go through each and every part of your body and tell that part of your body you love it and then flood it with these golden sparkles. The intention is that the golden sparkles will transmute or heal anything mental, physical or emotional that needs healing
I start with my brain and I while I am in my brain I set the intention to positively change the neuroplasticity of my brain and renew my mind. Then I go through :
· -My lymphatic system.
· Blood vessels, veins, arteries and capillaries.
· Each and every organ in my body.
· My bones and joints.
· Muscles and tendons.
· My immune system – I see it strong and thank it for looking after my health.
· Central nervous system – I send golden sparkles for calm and peace.
· I visualise my PH level being a perfect 7.2.
If you are sick go into that specific part of your body, ask what it needs to heal, what it’s trying to teach you, what needs to change or be processed, see if it has a colour or shape etc. You will be very amazed at what may come up. Then flood it with golden healing sparkles to gobble up and heal any dis-ease.
The body holds all truth and so will give you guidance as to where your healing lies if you do this practice consistently. For example, the body may bring up a memory or stuck emotion as you are focusing on a “sick” part of it, this will then show you where you need to do mental, emotional, trauma or spiritual work.
It can be very powerful if consistently used as part of your healing process.

Do you have something going on in your health that doesn’t make sense ?
Are you really sick but cannot get a diagnosis ?
Do you have real physical symptoms that are negatively impacting your life, but you cannot get to the bottom of them?
Do you have a diagnosis and want to help yourself heal?
If so, it really might be worth investigating whether there is a disconnect or disharmony on an energetic level in your body.
If you are intrigued or this resonates dive into this Episode where Loretta talks us through the energy anatomy of our bodies.
If you feel this is absolute hog wash , take a listen anyway ! You might be surprised; this may just be a missing link in your healing.
Loretta explains that we have a physical body, but we also have an energy body.
Our energy body is in fact the blueprint for our physical body. It is like the plan that the architect draws before he can build a house. This plan for our physical body is housed in our energy body.
It is interesting to know that before things change in the physical or psychological body, they change in our energetic blueprint.
This energy body is unseen and so many do not even know that it exists, and it is completely left out in allopathic medicine and even in some complimentary medicine.
Knowing about it and how it works is important because it means that we can keep our energetic blueprint healthy and therefore increase our ability to keep physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy.
This Episode includes all the information that you need to know about the energetic body, including all the organ energies.
Not only is it riveting, it includes some simple but great practical tools that you can implement straight away.
Dr Loretta Ferrucci is an experienced homeopath who is trained and experienced in the energy healing modalities of Jin Shin Jyutsu, Chinese medicine and acupuncture.
We would really love to know what you thought of this Episode. So please comment or ask any questions. You can do this in the review section of podcasts, the comments section on You Tube or by email.

Sharon shares her incredible 10-year journey of transformation from the most extreme physical, mental and spiritual dark night to vibrant health and living her best life.
One person after another close to Sharon died in quick succession, including both her parents and her husband who committed suicide. This just scratches the surface of the amount of trauma and change this incredible woman had to endure.
Her bodies response was to take her into deep PTSD, depression, suicidation and major health issues including extreme weight loss, leaky gut and adrenal burnout .
But Sharon dug deep and decided she had to pull herself out of this physical, mental and spiritual darkness. She knew that in order to do this she would need to heal from the inside out.
She embarked on a self - healing journey that has brought her to a point in her life now where she is physically, mentally and spiritually in balance and is thriving.
Sharon shares not only her story but all the details of the kind of help she sought, the tools it provided and how she used them to get through and out the other side better.
This story will not only inspire, it will give you deep insight and also hope that no matter how hard or bad your life is right now there is the possibility to not only move through it and heal, but also for true transformation and awakening to live your best life.

The impact of fear on the immune system cannot be underestimated.
In fact, it is most probably the greatest obstacle to healing and the single most overlooked factor in mind-immune conditions. Either for its direct effects (increasing levels of cortisol or adrenaline ) or for its indirect effects (causing people to give up, feel hopelessness, apathy, depression, failure to seek support and many other consequences).
It is also at the root of all the various issues you will need to deal with to heal including stress, expressing what you feel, and finding a sense of passion and purpose for the future
Experiments have clearly demonstrated the dramatic immunological benefits of confronting fear.
In this Episode we cover the following :
· Overview of why fear is the greatest obstacle to healing.
· Types of fear - There is a wide range of emotions – mild to strong – that fall into the general category of fear.
· Why fear such a powerful force in our lives.
· Techniques that work wonderfully for the “thinking” brain simply do not work for the “primitive brain”.
· How to work with fear, to feel it, but not to stay stuck in it.
We also discuss these 7 fear principles :
Fear can – and will – override more sophisticated thoughts and feelings
Believing you are in danger feels exactly the same as the real thing
Unresolved fear will keep your unconscious mind activated 24 hours a day.
There are two and only two things to do with a F.E.A.R :
F.E.A.R. = Forget everything and run (avoid and deny).
F.E.A.R. = Face everything and recover (deal with it).
Fear is nothing more and nothing less than the unanswered question ”What if … “
The sole purpose of confronting fear (including death ) is to increase feeling alive.
When dealing with feared possibilities, put as much energy into desired possibilities.
Fear and dealing with it in relation to physical illness and healing is such a huge topic that we could only scratch the surface of it in this Episode. So, we have decided to offer a 1.5-hour online Master Class at the end of October focused on bringing more information and helpful tools to those who are sick and struggling with fear.
The cost will be $27 (or R450.00 for South Africans), we hope that makes it affordable enough for all.

If we want to help our bodies heal, we have to work on our mind and emotions.
Working on our mind and emotions means bringing the unconscious into conscious awareness.
The unconscious is where we unknowingly store limiting beliefs and the consequent coping mechanisms which have a negative impact on our physical and mental health. (Refer to Ep4 & Ep7).
We cannot change what we don’t know, and neuroscience shows that once we bring into the conscious mind unconscious stuff, it is possible to work with it. Once recalled into the conscious mind, emotional memories become vulnerable and susceptible to change.
This is not only the path to physical and mental health, but also the path to becoming a Divine Embodied Human Being.
The starting point of this journey is to cultivate self-awareness. To take a witness position and bring awareness to every aspect of yourself.
Become aware of what you are thinking, what your triggers are and what your patterns and coping mechanisms are. Start seeing and working with the ego.
The aim is to stop functioning in patterns that you have not consciously chosen and that were chosen for you.
This work is a new opportunity to choose to let go of the blockages. It is also the path to mental mastery and physical health.
This Episode offers insights and tools to start this journey. We will be building on this.

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 loretta@lorettaferrucci.co.za 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.

In this short clip I discuss how hidden, unknown stress can make us sick.
Research is showing clearly that the following can, and do affect our health :
· - Not feeling your feelings. Suppressed anger in particular.
· - Anxiety & depression
· - Loneliness and absence of social support. This applies not just to those living alone, but also those in emotionally deficient relationships like low marriage quality.
· - Fear
· - Negative thinking
· - Denial
· - Coping mechanisms such as avoidance, denial, addiction, people pleasing, co-dependency
· - Wanting to be in control of everything
· - Toughing it out all the time, keeping it together no matter what
· - Needing to look good and be liked
· - Low self-worth
· - Not being able to say no
· - Not being able to draw boundaries
· - Threatened loss of love
· - Insomnia
Research has also shown that the following experiences, among many others, in a person’s past, especially up to age of 7 years old, can affect health or trigger disease:
· - Abuse
· - Abandonment
· - Learn not to express feeling as a child and taking this into adulthood
· - To consider others above ourselves all the time
· - Incapable or can’t say no in childhood and as an adult develop excessive dutifulness
· - If we become our mother’s protector as children
· - A child's humiliation, impotence and bottled rage will manifest itself as adult illness
Diseases being shown to be related
· - Cancer
· - Autoimmune
· - Chronic fatigue
· - Rheumatoid arthritis
· - Lupus
· - Inflammatory bowel disorders
· - Rheumatoid arthritis
· - MS
· - Diabetes
We will be discussing all of the above more in longer Episodes.

Thank you for listening !
In this Episode, Dr Patricia Muehsam, a pioneer in the synthesis of medical science, holistic health, and contemporary spirituality, takes us through her whole person approach to healing. She offers us both knowledge and the tools to effortless healing.
You will come away with insight into :
- What absolute health really means.
- Why we cannot overcome a health or any other challenge unless we enter a place of inner peace, surrender and equanimity.
- Why everything we need health wise or otherwise arises from being not doing.
- Why the body can’t heal without emotional healing. Emotional acceptance and fully feeling all our feelings is critical and health promoting.
- Why consciousness and spirituality are important to healing but that spiritual bypassing does not work.
- How we give too much authority to doctors and those outside ourselves, healing is actually an inside out job.
- The difference between healing and cure.
You will leave with 5 absolute health tools which will enable you to:
- Achieve true healing and transformation of the condition rather than merely suppressing of symptoms with medication.
- Take control over your own healing and heal from the inside out.
- Overcome the anxiety, stress and fear that comes with a diagnosis or very difficult life circumstances.
- Move to a place of mindful awareness and to shift out of freak out into equanimity, acceptance, and inner peace.
- Take inspired actions to heal and have the solutions to your healing come naturally and without effort.
- Find feelings in your body and work with these feelings, allowing all feelings to be fully felt.
- Be less fearful of dying and death.

Since October 2021 Gary has been sharing his journey through his second cancer. He has inspired and shown the way for all of us as he has navigated the ups and downs of this journey and healed himself of brain cancer. Fast forward to July/Aug 2023, Gary’s cancer is causing issues for him. He is in a lot of pain, can’t sleep and has been having breathing issues at times. For most of us this would create stress, tremendous suffering, fear and quite frankly freak out. Remarkably however, Gary is able to navigate this really rough situation with unrelenting Faith, Peace, and Grace. He is applying all that he has taught us. In this Episode he talks us through how he does this and how he has applied the Alexander Technique. He also shares with us what his next steps are.
These are the highlights of what he shares :
· It all starts with the mind he says. The mind is the ultimate healer which will give you the courage and strength to keep going against all odds, there is always a way through it if you believe it in your mind.
· He accepts that ultimately, he is not in control. He has an intention for a certain outcome but accepts that our Body-Soul-Spirit has to follow what is ordained by the Greater Consciousness /God. He is in charge of his mind but not of the ultimate end result.
· Gary does have times when it is very hard, and he starts freaking out, but he is able to take a pause and bring himself back to his practice.
· He says freaking out = desperation= suffering. Whereas if you accept and deal with it then there is no suffering.
· It is important to stay in charge of your own journey rather than giving it over to someone else.
· He is able to sit in the paradox and surrender to the uncertainty.
· He has no fear of dying.
· He sees it all as a Blessing and says it will lead to something greater whether it is in life or death.
· He is at peace peace with the ultimate outcome even if it is death.
· He is grateful for what is still good rather than focusing on how bad it is.
· Gary sees it all as Grace and it all as a Blessing.
“ You have got to know that there is always a way out, but you have to know the trick” Gary says.
The trick for Gary is the Alexander Technique and, in this Episode, he talks us through how he applies it to take control of his mind when he is in terrible pain, can’t breathe or sleep.
This Episode is evidence that Gary truly is one of the most remarkable Spiritual and Self -Help teachers of our time and we know we can trust what he brings because he is able to live it in a truly “horrible” situation.

Gary Ramsey has offered us so many hours of incredible inspiration and valuable tools in the 20 Podcast Episodes we have recorded and on his lives. Now he needs our help. He finds himself in a real paradox and is facing a lot of difficulty. His tumor is smaller but he is in a lot of pain and he doesn't know which way it is going to go. He had a scan on Saturday and should get his results today. BUT whichever way it goes he is going to need financial support. He has been paying for everything himself up to now and has run out of money. Recently Gary offered an Alexander Technique course to a small group of us. It was phenomenal and we all gained so much benefit. Some of the reviews and feedback are below. It was an experiment we did and it went so well we decided to put out the course for sale once we had cleaned up the recordings. But with this current situation Gary finds himself in we got guided to set up a request to you all to say that if you can donate to Gary's medical fund then in exchange you will receive these recordings free of charge. They will not be perfect because not yet edited but still offer so much value as you will see from the reviews below. Suggested minimum donation is $100-$150 but any amount would be greatly appreciated. And if you can't pay anything but feel you would really benefit from the course then we will graciously send to you. To donate please go to Paypal and enter Gary's email address : garyramsey6@gmail.com or @GaryRamsey403. Please mark it as a DONATION . Then email me antoinette@lightwithin.co.za or message me on messenger so I can arrange to supply you with the course links. Gary is also on Venmo if you are in the USA. To send money without a PayPal account just go to PayPal's front page and from there click the link Send Money> Send Money Online. From there it will be possible to send a payment to any email address. And please PRAY for Gary. Excuse the poor quality of the video but we jumped on very spontaneously on Friday after having a private conversation and my connection was not stable. BE BLESSED ! Testimonials Dr Jane Galloway
With humour, deep humanity and quantum smarts, Gary has become a vessel for transformational healing of limiting ideas that often block the body/mind/Spirit. wisdom. His practical, relatable teaching opens the student to the larger reality where true healing takes place. I encourage you to relax into this 4th dimensional teaching , and to find yourself in conversation with a greater reality. You will be so glad you did.
Ana
Gary is a phenomenal teacher. He teaches both theory and application in an easy-to-understand manner. By learning about the complexities of our own body we open the door to comprehending that there is a limitless number of possibilities to reach mental recovery and healing through the means of relaxation, observation, meditation, and exercises. Gary's teachings have positive results because it takes body, mind, and soul into consideration. His approach of sharing wisdom via real world examples helps absorb his teachings. I am grateful to have participated in this unforgettable experience as it has helped me feel more positive and happier.
Norma Bode
I had a session with Gary after my stroke. It was the most phenomenal healing for me. I could feel such a difference while we were doing it and next day fee so much better and living with so much ease, mentally, physically and emotionally. Things flowing more. I don’t have much nerve pain anymore. I slept so well after the session it was incredible, woke up feeling great. Gary is so amazing and has such a calming voice and great sense of humour and just wonderful personality.
Tarryn Jolly
I didn’t know what to expect when attending the group session with Gary as I have never experienced the Alexander technique before. Gary had his own unique spin on it, due to his years of knowledge and his life-threatening cancer. He has been able to fully embody the technique as well as take it to the next level. His ability to explain and teach was truly connecting. I learned so much more than the research I had done. His meditations enabled me to tap into a new understanding of my physical / emotional and mental body. With the help of Antoinette, and the guidance she gives, as well as the direction she takes us on, made them a powerful duo.
Hatumbra Harmony
Gary Ramsey is a compassionate healer. He is kind and warm in his approach. I was privileged to join one of his Alexander Technique workshops. His teachings on the working of the body consciousness was enlightening. He helped me to be more in tuned with the physical movements of my body. I am now more aware of how I do things. This awareness assists me to be more present.
Tracy Collyer
Thank you, Gary, for the insightful look at the Alexander Technique. Mindfulness of aligned movement and how aware we are of this is so important and useful to our daily lives, making for a happier, more fluid, and less painful aging process.
Dr Loretta Ferrucci - Video Testimonial https://drive.google.com/file/d/13LO5utaapNUJbiJ_xnmpGs9PU6T2KPAM/view?usp=sharing
We can overcome anything, absolutely anything, if we are in charge of our mind, body, brain system, in a full and deep manner.
This might just be the best Episode that Gary and I have recorded together.

There is so much suffering and darkness going on in the world and in so many individuals’ lives. Spiritual Mystic, Andrew Harvey, says we are experiencing a collective dark night of the soul. And as such we are experiencing individual dark nights of the soul.
What is a dark night of the soul ? It is one of the darkest periods of life that anyone can go through. An extremely difficult and painful period in one's life. A series of ordeals come about that can create huge suffering. Sometimes it's triggered by some external even or some disaster for example death of a loved one, a brutal illness, bankruptcy, relationship breakdowns or an existential crisis. So many things external to us at this time are triggering this.
When you are going through The Dark Night of The Soul, you could feel depressed, lazy, lethargic, unmotivated, spiritual depression, feeling hopeless, feeling isolated, questioning everything about yourself and your life, and searching for a sense of purpose, meaning, and/or belonging and often in a Dark Night it isn’t possible to find meaning anymore, a kind of malaise can set in. It can last for a week or twenty years. However long it lasts, the whole purpose of it is to help you deconstruct ego self and reach your spiritual destination- a union with God. It is like a curtain on your soul. Throughout history, mystics, saints, and sages have passionately written about the dark night of the soul and mystics like Thomas Merton and John of the Cross describe this time as the stage when the ego deeply realizes that all its struggles to build identity, meaning, and self-worth are useless. The dark night will strip you of all fantasies and illusions and offer you a path to radical union with the Divine if you are brave enough and if you do the work. It’s a time of trial in which false ideals are shed — the initiation that can be quite painful and devastating and is often described as a form of hell. But know that this crisis has been perfectly designed by the Divine intelligence to burn away our illusions, to initiate us into the truth of who we really are !!
It is very important to experience that it is not just darkness, there is a lot of light appearing too. See and face the darkness but also see the light coming through, in truth a dark night really is a dying and a birthing at the same time. If you are not aware of the birthing, then it will be impossible to see the meaning and purpose in it. It is the birthing that will bring you purpose, meaning and joy.
Amazing positive breakthroughs come in the horror and so if you can see it as a birthing process, then you can dedicate your whole being to help the new birth that is trying to come through.
But know that this does require dying into life and this means having to be ok with what falls apart in our lives and requires a major change of direction in our lives. So do not be scared of hardships or of mistakes. In order to be ready to co-create with what we are giving birth to we will have to look at the repressed contents of our subconscious because everything is going to come up. It is important to know that that the shadow (the parts that have been denied, avoided or repressed because they seem unacceptable to us) is our biggest ally if we let it be and so the only way forward is to make friends with it. Lots of spiritual communities want to avoid this like the plague but it is truth time. To quote Andrew Harvey - No daydream bridge or rainbow meditation will get us there, we have to do the work. A spiritual process is required that means we have to roll up our sleeves and allow the subconscious content to show itself. As I’ve said This means seeing the less flattering sides of ourselves, the parts of our character that need integration and maturation. It is to know that there is the tremendous hidden energy of passion and compassion in these sides of us. It does however require facing the dragon to get to the treasure.
This a time of SAVAGE GRACE .
We all chose to be here at this time and if you want to awaken at this time, it will strip you of your illusions and fantasies. If you are brave enough, wild enough and do the work this time will give you everything. So yes, the Dark Night of the Soul is a challenging period but one that ultimately leads to personal transformation and awakening. After the Dark Night you may experience all sorts of new things, but most importantly, you emerge refreshed, renewed, and ready to walk your true-life path. This time is asking of us to rid ourselves of our attachments and delusions and plunge into Divine Love and offer ourselves, our whole being up to love in service to help rebirth a new and better world out of the current chaos, devastation and darkness. If you take spiritual practice more seriously the Divine is ready to flood you with power and strength you cannot even imagine. Have faith in spiritual practice and then you will not be overwhelmed. Rather you will realise that there is a fierce love that wants one humanity to end so that another can be reborn. If you do spiritual practice sincerely it will open doors you didn’t even know existed. Connect with Source and each other. If we trust enough and have the courage the universe will organise the rest. Extinction is very possible for the human race if we do not get real. This is the worst and the best of times. It is terrifying because the whole of humanity is being plunged into a global dark night, through a series of unspeakably difficult crises all manifesting at the same time. But those of us who have been through dark nights ourselves know when such an intense dark night appears it is because something amazing is being prepared. The great mystics knew that it would come to this because we have been living in delusion and fantasy and excessive pride and arrogance. We chose to be here for this time of ferocious awakening and we cannot fence sit anymore. Most people, even if aware of this, don’t know how to move forward - that’s why a series of podcast talks bringing not just insight and awareness but tools.

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.

Ep 29 : Signs and symptoms are an opportunity to become your own healer with Loretta Ferrucci
Twenty-five years’ experience as a registered homeopath combined with her in-depth study and practice of many energy healing modalities means that Dr Loretta Ferrucci deeply understands the mind- body -energy connection.
Lorretta says that our signs and symptoms are an opportunity to find the healer within ourselves. Inside each of us, she says, is an infinitely wise healer. One who is unbound by time, space, fears, assumptions, conditioning, stories, and limitations. “It” doesn't have to conform to certain conditions before healing can take place and intuition guides “it” as to which path to take to heal (mentally or physically).
This so deeply resonates with me that I asked Lorretta to record an Episode. In this Episode she talks us through the five pillars of becoming our own “guru”, our own healer and offers some great advice and tools to get us on our way. It took me many, many hours of research over a five-year period to discover and implement what Lorretta has consolidated into a course called Whole Body Reset.
Now more than ever, it's time for us to learn to live our lives guided by our own inner guru (higher self, spirit, soul), rather than being slaves to the limitations, fears and stories created by our mind, conditioning and what is outside of us. Want to know more? Ready to start living from your limitless heart and soul? Take a listen to this mazing conversation I had with Lorretta.

Inside each of us is an infinitely wise healer. One who is unbound by time, space, fears, assumptions, stories, conditioning, and limitations. This part of us doesn’t have to conform to certain conditions before healing can take place.
I’m so excited to be recording a series of Episodes with Dr Loretta Ferrucci on this. Lorretta is a registered homeopath with 25 years’ experience. This combined with her in depth study and practice of many energy healing modalities means that she deeply understands the mind-body-energy connection. She fuses all this into a toolbox of practical techniques that not only enables people to transform and heal, but also empowers them to be their own healer.
In this series we will be exploring going beyond the physical to heal. This first Episode is an overall introduction and following on this we will further explore :
Organ energetics, the role of the subconscious in our health, what role the mind and thoughts play in our health, how fear and spiritual bypassing affect our health, why some people can cure the incurable and more.
Loretta keeps it practical and real, she takes the fluff out of healing and personal development. Now more than ever it’s time for us to live our lives guided by our inner guru (higher self) rather than being slaves to the limitations, fears and stories created by our mind.
If you want to step into your true healing powers and access the healer inside you then take a listen.

There is nothing more important to true growth than realizing you are not the voice in your head, you are the one that hears the voice (Paraphrased from Michael Singer). In this Episode I talk to integrative consciousness and human potential life coach and inspirational speaker, John Homewood. John has a passion for inspiring and uplifting the awareness of people and in this Episode takes us through the understanding that we are not these voices in the head and that there is something much deeper than these voices. The pure awareness of these thoughts is who and what we are. Join us for this great conversation around this.

Gary and I were having a zoom catch up and spontaneously decided to record an Episode. It was the eve of Easter Friday 2023. Gary suggested the topic of resurrection which seemed very fitting.
This Episode turned out to mostly be an honest and profound share by Gary about his birth, childhood, and teenage years. Like many of us Gary had a very difficult childhood. Astoundingly though by age 5 Gary was already able to see lessons in the hardship of domestic violence, alcoholism, bullying, rejection and growing up too fast. In fact, he says, this difficult childhood was great preparation and training for the larger crucifixions (terminal cancers) and resurrections later in his life.
You will be rivetted the whole way through as Gary shares details of his birth, childhood, growing up and how he was born “special” . Gary says his life has been a series of resurrections and brings a message to all of us that the key to life is to have faith in the continuous renewal of our lives and resurrection from the old. This happens from the time we are born.

Juri Love is a survivor of child sex abuse, domestic violence, bullying and homelessness. Despite the adversity, she has overcome many obstacles, including depression, suicidal thoughts, and PTSD and in fact has thrived.
She came to America after winning a scholarship to attend the world-renowned Berklee College of Music.

In her book A Gift from Adversity she shares her passion, love, and wisdom through hardship in this personal account of her true life experiences.
Juri uses her podcast platform to bring awareness to people suffering from similar social issues she endured. She feels compelled to create and hold space for people to be able to share their adversity and mental health and remove the stigma from society so people can shrive and not regret dwelling on their trauma and challenges. I had the privilege of sharing my story of trauma to triumph on her podcast and now I am so delighted she has agreed to share hers on mine.

80% of the world's population feels not good enough ! This means the world is facing a not good enough epidemic! (Paraphrased from Louise VN Liebenberg)
In this Episode Louise and I have an incredible conversation about self -esteem. Louise highlights that often we hide feeling not good enough or how bad we feel about ourselves behind covering up mechanisms such addictions or externally validating ourselves through success, possessions, popularity, and such. We strive to look good and be accepted but meanwhile inside we may feel bad about ourselves and not even know it. Real self-esteem comes from the inside out and is not based on anything outside of ourselves. Louise guides us through how we can tell if despite external self-esteem our internal self-esteem is not good.
I share my own journey and struggle with very low self-esteem and how doing the deep work helped me to learn to love myself.
Louise ends the session with offering us these basic tools that we can get using straight away:
- Don't believe your thoughts. Say to yourself "I am not my story, I am not my history".
- Say this affirmation out loud for 6 weeks. "I am enough". Doing this will reprogramme the subconscious.
- Learn to talk to yourself like your own best friend.
- Remember and keep reminding yourself that good enough is good enough, you do not have to be perfect.
Start applying these 4 points and you will start building more ease into your life. To sign up for the 3 month Self -Esteem course, click on the link below. There is also a link to the limiting beliefs course. I urge you to consider signing up for these courses which helped me so much on my journey. Don’t wait till you hit a wall like I did before you start the journey of doing deep inner work. The correct help and support can speed up our journey and make it so much easier to do this internal work.

In this Episode I share how I struggled with my health a lot last year and with what felt like near death experiences. First with micro clotting and then with extreme anaphylactic reactions. My back was against the wall in terms of getting help and I turned to what Gary teaches. Overcoming the fear and rising above it was a biggie for me as I can be quite a fear based person but the stakes were high and I managed to do it. Not only did I manage to overcome the fear, but I healed myself. Incredible! Thank you, Gary !!! I know if I can do it anyone can as I am still very much in the “messy middle “ so to say!
This Episode will take you on a journey of how I did this, but also so much more, Gary shares insights that you probably have not heard before and he shares a bit of his past with us.

In this Episode Wanako Oberhuber and I discuss trust.
Trust is a central theme in all our lives and research shows that a person's dispositional tendency to trust others is one of the strongest predictors of subjective well-being. It is the bedrock of all strong relationships and it allows us to believe in the reliability of ourselves, others, life and God.
Yet so many of us lack trust and because it is a blind spot, we don’t even know it. Me included. Distrust was unknowingly a central theme in my life keeping me dissociated from everything. I am deep into the process of learning to trust. And how this has changed my life for the better !
Wanako and I share our own individual journeys of learning to trust and how we go in and out of trust and why. We also discuss :
· Why people don’t trust?
· How overcoming trust challenges often involves looking at blind spots and understanding where these feelings of distrust come from.
· How it makes sense to come from where we are right now.
· How miracles become everyday order when we trust.
· Wanako shares the Course in Miracles perspective. Such AHA’s for me and so helpful.
I REALLY recommend this Episode, it was such an eye opener for me and I can truly say it helped me hugely.

In this Episode Louise shares her own story with us. She talks us through her difficult childhood and marriage and shares how she overcame it. Louise’s own journey has informed her work and has played a big role in her being the amazingly effective and practical councillor that she is today. Louise says that she never asks a client to do what she herself has not done. She went through a long transformational journey because she could not find help. But she did find her way to healing and now applies the tools she used to heal herself, together with her training and the latest research, to help her clients.

We don’t notice that we are repeating patterns that do not serve us and which in fact might even be causing chaos and ongoing suffering in our lives. This is because we have blind spots and are unaware that we are creating our own problems.
Louise talks us through different types of unhealthy patterns, why we repeat these patterns, what affect it has on our lives and how we can change this.
Most people only start investigating this when they hit a wall. Don’t wait until you hit a wall, like I did with cancer. Practical easy to implement tools are important but in short supply so take a listen as Louise takes us through how to spot these patterns and how to work with them.

Are you unknowingly putting being liked above all else and could this be derailing you ?
Louise talks us through how prolific and unseen people pleasing is in most of our lives. We are conditioned from birth to be liked and so it is natural. However, it is one thing to be liked, and another to be liked for who we really are, for our boundaries, for our wants and our needs.
The thing is this, most people, Louise says, have a blind spot about how much they are centering their lives around people pleasing because they want to be liked above all else. This can seriously derail us.
If the statements below, or some of them apply to you, then take a listen to this fascinating Episode to gain insight and tools.
· You find it difficult to be your authentic self and speak your truth in case others disagree,
· You don’t draw boundaries or are afraid to,
· You give too much without expecting anything back and then find yourself becoming resentful, passive aggressive or withdrawing,
· You often feel you are being taken advantage of or that you are being used,
· You don’t use your voice when you are upset about something,
· You are not comfortable and confident enough to be yourself,
· You are doing things that are not good for you or depleting you,
· You struggle to have an opinion about what you don’t like or what you need,
· You are not taking enough care of yourself and your own needs,
· Things come out in irritation or an explosion.
Louise talks us through how to get the balance where we are easy to get along with but value our own needs and boundaries.

Who we are at age 7 is who we are for the rest of our lives ! Quite a thought hey. Very scary, but certainly true for the unexamined life. Most of us walk around in total unconsciousness of what is going on inside us behind the scenes and live our lives in ways that we do not even realise are dysfunctional. I certainly did until I got cancer at the age of 56. Most people only start looking at these blind spots when they walk into a wall. But if we know what to look out for, we can set ourselves free from our conditioning before the proverbial sh*t hits the fan. The light that Louise VN Liebenberg shines on this topic in this Episode had me experiencing one light bulb moment after another. I have studied this topic for the last five years and I honestly didn’t think that anyone could bring a perspective that I had not considered. WELL LOUISE DID ! AND HOW !! This short 30-minute Episode is packed with one aha after another. It’s unlikely you will ever look at yourself and how you operate in the world the same again, even if you have already done a lot of transformational work. Please share. This is such important information most especially for those who are young parents or expecting.

Do us humans have free will, or have we been programmed ? Are our lives unknowingly run by fear? Are our minds more toxic than we realise ? Has the truth been hidden in plain sight ? Are we far more powerful than we know ? Why are we such a sick society ?
We do have free will and in fact our true nature at birth makes us extraordinary beings. We are capable of infinite potential, we are creators, and we have the ability to heal ourselves! Most of us however have unwittingly been socialised, conditioned, and programmed to live in a way that not only limits our full potential but that also makes us fearful, sick and has us playing out patterns and coping mechanisms that do not serve us. To break free of this cycle and our programming, we must alter our perception of reality. To do this, we first need to know what we don’t know. If we can begin to question our indoctrinations, we are moving in the direction of breaking free from our limiting beliefs, the battlefield of the mind and from fear.
Gary says that we are so conditioned that we cannot even see the cage that we are in. He has been able to heal himself of two incurable cancers because he does not listen to the conditioning or buy into the programming. He is also able to think something and have it manifest almost immediately. He is able to do this, he says, because he does not look at things through his conditioning. He has deprogrammed himself.
In this Episode we explore the topic of conditioning, how it affects us, and what we can do to break free of it. It is very challenging for humans to break free of the mind and truly believe in the higher vibrational reality that heals and manifests everyday miracles. Gary talks us through how to un-condition ourselves and therefore rise above the fear and terror that goes with, for example, a hectic cancer diagnosis. Doing this, he says, requires that we access that part of ourselves that can ascend beyond the human 3d matrix mind.
Lifting the veil on what we don’t know is the starting point. Do you know what is your conditioning is, and do you go along with it ?

Grace is defined as a virtue coming from God. Unmerited Divine assistance, which enables us to do and be what we can’t by our own means.
If we get out of our own way Divinity will always lead the way and through Grace miracles become everyday order. Mostly though, we don’t allow radical Grace because we want to be in control and want things our own way. Also, our minds take us into fear and lack of trust in the Greater Power.
Gary believes he has survived terminal cancer because of Radical Grace, and this is because he has reached a place where he can allow Grace to happen and to receive it. In this Episode he talks us through how we can get out of our own way, live fearlessly, and let go of our own agenda in order to give over to Grace.

What is the Devil, how does it play out and what do we do about it ?
The good and bad energies are amplified right now, and they are playing out inside of us and outside of us. How do we work with these energies so that we do not give power to the lower energy and rather empower the glorious energy? It’s very important to know this so that we can recognise what’s going on and know how to deal with these energies to serve us rather than drag us down.
I feel this is one of the most important Episodes we have recorded. Don’t want to give too much away so take a listen, its powerful and important.

Maybe questioning yourself, your worth and your purpose? WELL, you are not alone, it will not last forever, AND there is so much hope as a higher level of consciousness potentially awaits you. Hatumbra, a wellbeing coach and energy worker, shares her own personal journey through the molasses of 2022.

The Alexander is an amazing tool that brings mind and body together, allowing spirit to become more aligned. Gary Ramsey is trained in, taught, and has practiced the Alexander Technique for over 20 years.
Once we have mastered this amazingly simple, but highly effective technique, we will be able to get through any situation no matter how difficult, or even horrific, with equanimity. Personally, after practicing it for only a short time, I found it to be highly affective for both mental and physical healing, and it is so easy to apply. I truly wish that I had discovered it 20 years ago.
In this Episodes Gary explains how Alexander and how to use it in daily life.

We are something beyond what we can grasp or know, and nothing can harm or take down this essence of who we really are. We come from Source, the God head, we are created from it, therefore we have the same powers, the only thing is that we do not fully recognise it. Sadly, if we do not recognise it life becomes very mundane and ordinary. Whereas if we are in alignment with it, miracles and magic become everyday order. If we live this way, then the terrible cannot be terrifying.
This Episode will not only inspire you, but Gary will lead you through how he lives this path.

Laughter in the face of fear. Sounds like a contradiction doesn’t it. A paradox!
Gary explains in this Episode that true spontaneous laughter is one of the healthiest expressions of our emotionality and in the face of fear laughter changes the entire vibration of a situation. It says to the fear, you are not going to harm me or take me down, it also indicates that “I” have the ability and confidence to go beyond this situation.
We take life and ourselves far too seriously !

In this Episode Gary and I take a look at a very different angle on gratitude. The power of gratitude is to have gratitude for everything. For all that arises! Everything that comes is for us never against us.

If the pandemic is a virus, it has nothing on split focus. Humanity is unconsciously in a pattern of constantly splitting focus and this is a crisis.
We all do it, split focus, but it’s not good and it becomes habitual. The shocking thing is that people are not even aware that they are no longer in tune with the moment as a whole moment. We do so many things mindlessly. Besides making us mentally and physically sick, it is a very dull way to live life, not being fully engaged. It is like staying in a boring movie he says. We miss the process of life, the journey of getting there, we want to be at the end, and this is why the world is in such a crisis.
Gary gives us powerful and simple practical tools to take into our everyday life. This is a solution to a lot of our everyday problems and to a lot of the problems out there.
Learn how to be with ALL of you !

How do we stop our minds freaking out when faced with an extreme situation like terminal cancer?
Gary takes us through how to use our minds to make things better rather than worse, he shows us how to train ourselves to change our perspective on what we are facing. It is in our response that our power and freedom lie. He takes us through some practical, simple, but super powerful tools to do this !
This episode has truly had a massive impact on my life. The daily “practice” that Gary shares has been truly life transforming for me.

Us humans do not know what we don’t know, and we don’t know we don’t know it until we know it.
Once you know what you don’t know :
You will be astounded that you never knew it before because it’s so simple.
You will realise that the truth has been hidden in plain sight all the time.
The path to deep and lasting transformation reveals itself .
You will see that there is a way that seems right to a man but in the end leads to destruction.
You will realise that years of wrong thinking have contributed to your disease, failing relationships or the general chaos in your life and that your life will not get straightened out until your mind does.
You will also have a deep knowing that :
Renewing the mind is not impossible but it is difficult, and it takes time.
Not giving up leads to victory.
You cannot do this alone. You need good help, but it has to be the right help.
Those who have walked the path before you will encourage and guide you.
The state of the shipwrecked is usually the starting point of this journey.
It is the only way to true freedom and peace.
If you have the courage and take the time to walk this path and be fully committed to it :
You will be able to rise above anything no matter how hard it is.
It will bring an all-encompassing unity and inter-connectedness as well as feelings of love, joy, and peace of mind
It represents the highest form of human development and is the goal of all spiritual and religious life no matter which tradition.
If you feel you have been on the same mountain long enough, then join us on this journey of transformation through illumination.
It starts with knowing what you don’t know and then acquiring real and simple tools.
Combining spirituality and psychology this podcast will lead you through this journey.
Your podcast host, Antoinette, has walked this path and learnt from her own lived experience. Cancer was the catalyst five years ago. She has done 1000s of hours of research. Studying, shadow work, the dark night of the soul, rewiring the brain, spiritual bypassing, and mind body science, including neuro psychology and psychoneuroimmunology. Antoinette will share her own journey in a raw and authentic way. Although still a work in progress Antoinette is very far into this path of genuine spiritual/physical/mental awakening.
Her passion and service now is to share all that she knows. All the knowledge, resources and tools that guided her through this process. She is connected with and will be having conversations with profound and powerful healers, coaches, and spiritual teachers. Everything Antoinette puts out will have been tried and tested by her.
These conversations will have you asking you how you did not know what you didn’t know and will provide simple but very powerful practical tools.
Meet you there …
