Free yourself from the battlefield of the mind

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...

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 (r...

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 resis...

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...

Being able to be with, and work with this paradox is a very important part of our healing jour...

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 appropria...

The topic of anger is big, complex and often raises questions and objections. It can also become a confusing paradox. Repression o f 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 conf...

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 y...

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...

If so, it really might be worth investigating whether there is a disconnect or disharmony on an energetic...

One person after another close to Sharon died in quick succession, including both her parents and her husband who committed suicide.

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 man...

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 neu...

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.

We give specific examples. The thing to know is this...

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 understandi...
