Peace and Health Beyond the Veil
Step into the unknown
I watched a powerful video this morning that resonates so strongly and it’s got my thoughts flowing, so we are off to the races this morning. This video was talking about how our body is inside our mind, and our mind is inside an energy field. What excites me so much about this is how she talks about how what holds sickness in the body is related to the fact that our memories are not stored in the body; they are stored in the field. She teaches people how to access the memory related to a specific pain or issue in the body and release it so that the body then becomes whole again in this area.
I recently had a sacred mushroom experience and during the journey I released a SHIT TON of energy. I intuitively knew that what was happening was that my body was releasing trapped emotions. I have done a ton of research and study in this area as well, so it was no surprise to me. What was interesting and also not surprising was how much my body has felt different since that day. Some of it has been welcome, some has not (which honestly is another story to let go of), but I have noticed a significant difference in the hot flashes I was having. I still am very much aware that it that symptom relates entirely to my level of resistance and judgment. Anytime I judge something either inside me or “outside” me, I am much more likely to experience this symptom. I am literally resisting the energetic flow in my body, and just like an electrical wire will heat up when you pinch it, I am creating that experience in my body.
I considered how this video ties in with so many other teachers and testimonies related to self-healing and oftentimes instantaneous healing. One such example is German New Medicine. They, too, have realized that certain ailments in the body (even substantial ones) are tied to a past memory that is lodged in the brain (aka nervous system) and can be rewired by rewriting the story. Another example is how Dr. Joe Dispenza’s workshops teach people to be here now in the present moment (which is the only moment that exists because the past is a story in your mind only and the future is not here yet). What happens for many people when they get really clear on the idea that only now exists and they unconditionally love themselves to the point of feeling worthy of any and every good thing, miracles follow. ( See for yourself with the proof in this documentary). The interesting thing is that none of it is confined to people who are special or have some extra gift, and just as importantly, it’s not tied to time. It’s only ever tied to accepting who you truly are and what your body is capable of doing. Self-healing doesn’t take time; it’s only because of the story we tell ourselves that it does.
So what stories are we telling ourselves? Are we telling ourselves that what Western medicine has taught us is the bible truth? Are we telling ourselves that we are not good enough? Are we telling ourselves it’s too hard? Are we telling ourselves that it’s only reserved for some people? Are we telling ourselves that it’s too good to be true, and we are here to have the experience of being miserable? Any and all of these stories are an option because we are all co creators in this dream we live in, but why do we allow ourselves to pick things that suck ass? It boils down to not being willing to let ourselves experience all the beauty of this world.
Now, when I say beauty, it may seem that I am talking about only the things we prefer. I am not. We can not pick and choose which things are allowable when they present themselves to us. We can, and it’s to our benefit to pick things that fit our preferences while simultaneously recognizing that it’s in our best interest to remain open to all possibilities because the moment we make something “wrong,” we have disconnected from life/source/god. We have stepped into our creation (our ego/personality) that wants stuff to be a certain way. The bible verse that comes to mind is
“All things are lawful, not all things are profitable,” and another from ACIM, “ Defenselessness is the key to freedom.”
So what prevents us from being willing to let go of stories? Well, this memory energy field we are surrounded by (and if you have trouble wrapping your mind around the idea of energy extending outside of you, think about what is being measured when they use an EKG or EEG outside of your body). I thought of an example of instant healing without a bunch of meditation. What precipitated it was the person’s willingness to be so present in the moment, they “forgot” the past. It’s a story of Wayne Dyer, who was with a friend who needed his help getting unstuck from a stairwell. Without hesitation, Wayne offered to carry him up the stairs on his back. Wayne forgot about his bum knee that had bothered him for years. After the mission was completed, he realized his knee was healed. He didn’t TRY to heal his knee; he simply didn’t give any more emotional weight to the story. (Emotions are what create our physical reality! I’d love to share more with you on how this works in real life, feel free to connect with me here).
I watched this video yesterday about how to see without using your eyes. I am understanding the implications of this on a much deeper level now. The person who filmed it was very skeptical about his ability to do so, even after he was obviously doing it. He questioned the teacher as to why this would be true. She said, because your mind has not been taught that it is capable, so it’s resisting this truth. What was interesting about the teaching method was that even during the times when someone “failed” to see without eyes, they were encouraged to celebrate. Again, this speaks to the openness of every experience. What I understand today, though, is that the reason we can see without eyes (using our 3rd eye) is because there is no filter there for us. The memory of how things “should” look doesn’t exist in the energy of our higher self. When we look through physical eyes, we have expectations of what will take place. We are not open to infinite possibilities. When we move past our emotional body, things change.
I experienced this firsthand with my mushroom experience. I sat in the woods amongst friends and drank this sacred mushroom tea. I went deep into myself, which I now recognize I was both grounded in my body and eventually released from it. While I was grounded in my body, I experienced intense fear, anxiety, and emotional release. My body shook and thrashed. Memories I had long been tied to resisted with zeal the idea of letting go. With the aid of a friend who acted as a shaman for me that day, those energies were released. Eventually, this gave way to me seeing my subconscious in the form of sacred geometry. After a long exploration of my subconscious, I was finally willing to open my physical eyes and see the world around me. What I saw was indescribably beautiful, visions of people’s souls and the light that weaves all things together. Here’s my latest aha about all of this. The scene before I closed my eyes and drank the tea, although beautiful, paled miserably by comparison to what I saw through the eyes of my soul after it released the stories holding it back. Nothing changed, really, except my perspective.
Jesus says we see through a glass dimly lit. Yes! Imagine yourself putting on a pair of dark sunglasses and wondering why it’s so dark outside. This is literally what we are doing all the time. We attach ourselves to stories that bring some sort of stability to our existence because embracing constant change feels overwhelming, but what if that’s the key to freedom/peace/love/joy? If anything is possible and we stay attached to a certain mind movie because it’s familiar, then are we doing ourselves a disservice? Are we disconnecting from the very thing that will set us free? I think about the story in the bible where the doors of a prison cell were broken up by an earthquake (really an angel) and many of the prisoners refused to walk out of their own trap. I can recall so many times in my life where I have chosen the “comfort” of the familiar over the potential for new and free.
A book I read by Dr. Bruce Lipton called the Biology of Belief opened my “eyes” to the truth about the power we possess with our mind. I have spoken about this book many times, which at its core speaks on the idea that epigenetics is a field of study that has proven WE are in charge of our health, NOT our genes. For Bruce, his aha moment led him to realize that his body responds to the truth of his mind and what he “knows” to be true. We are creating with each thought. In the spiritual world, it is a common occurrence to see people post that if you are meant to see something, you will, and I was always a little resistant to that. It felt a bit gimmicky. It now makes sense to me. When you think in terms of the idea that you literally are not able to see something without believing it, at least on some level, then you won’t ever be open to information that you are not at least a bit ready for. You may watch or read something, but until the student is ready, the teacher’s lesson will fall on deaf ears or blind eyes. Each of us is exactly where we are meant to be, and no one is getting it wrong.
As I was meditating this morning after awaking from a dream about being kept out of a place in Hawaii by a gatekeeper, I had a big aha moment. We like to think/blame others for our lack of access to information, but the only real gatekeeper is yourself. Going back to my experience on the mushroom journey, at the beginning, I was extremely resistant to experiencing certain feelings. I kept saying “I can’t”. Really, though, the truth was I won’t. No judgment in it. I was afraid, very afraid to step into the unknown. Once I allowed myself to do so, though (gave myself permission) then I set myself free. It wasn’t the mushrooms or my friends or the environment. It was me saying yes to feeling the feelings, and even that came from a higher place. There’s a quote in ACIM that says that the last step into freedom is taken by god. My ego with its desires took the step into the mushroom journey, and once that permission was given, my soul was free to experience any and all things it wanted to because my mind no longer held the gate.
I have been spending a lot of time reflecting on what I am here to do as a soul. I looked into my numerology and discovered that my life path number is 7, which relates to the idea of bringing heaven on earth. I am still sorting out what that looks like specifically, but I know that helping people set themselves free of some sort of emotional bondage is what speaks to me. It not only removes gates towards health but also towards infinite peace. Peace has been a lifelong desire of mine, and I now understand what Jesus meant when he said he offers the peace that passes understanding. He lived an example of what it looks like to allow so fully that he resisted nothing in this world, so people could see what true freedom looks like.
Both Byron Katie and Eckhart Tolle speak on the concept of making peace with everything that is non-peace. It’s remaining open to what life chooses to do through you. I had a moment like this prior to my mushroom journey. I was in the midst of a major mood swing last year. I felt the emotions rise, and my desire to burst into tears. Instead of fighting it, I allowed, but as an observer. I didn’t become the emotion; I watched it unfold. I watched in my mind as the tear traced down my face, the salt taste in my mouth, the wetness of it unfurling. There came a moment where I thought about writing a poem and realized I was drifting away from the moment, and came back. By the time it was done, I had a profound sense of relief and awe. It was nothing compared to what I experienced in my mushroom journey, but up to that point, it was one of the most peaceful moments I had experienced, and it came down to being present without judgment.
If you are asking yourself why some people have these moments of miraculous healing and others don’t, consider this. ACIM says that some people are so identified with their illness that the idea of not having it would cause them to want to kill themselves. When we believe that our body’s problems are who we are or how we survive, then releasing them is a big pill to swallow. ACIM also talks about how we have layers of stories we have created and that they often have to be peeled back like an onion. This has certainly been my experience. What I am currently learning through a deep-level coaching method (check out our community here and the course is in it if you’re intrigued) is that we don’t have to do this alone or with a lot of hustle. When we give free rein to our higher self to be in charge of the healing, then it can happen with grace and ease. You will still be required to feel some things, but it may not have to involve a massive dose of endogenous DMT, lol.
Here’s a recent example of allowing my higher self to help me rewrite the past so I can release the limiting belief “My mistakes harm people.” I just rewrote a story from when I was very young, where I “hurt” my dad as he was attempting to teach me left from right. It was one of many times my “lack” created discomfort for him. I realize now that it was just a game. That’s all it ever was. I pictured my dad bumping his head into walls as I sent him the “wrong” direction like a video game or a cartoon where someone was donking their head and laughing about it. I never hurt him. It wasn’t real. We were playing a game, and his soul is just fine. I have never hurt a single soul. Our perspective is what hurts us. When we resist what is, it causes suffering. So many teachers speak on this. My mistakes never hurt anyone. They weren’t even mistakes. They were my experience with growth, just like yours.
Do you beat yourself up a lot? Are you ready to be free of your negative self-talk so you can have more peace in your life? This much I know about my soul. When I see people give themselves permission to stop judging themselves, my heart swells. It would be my privilege to help you open the door to your own prison cell. Learn more about me here.
