so healing vortex and healing is a
fascinating thing because when i first
became a therapist i really had no idea
that i could actually do healing but
people would come and say to me oh my
god you
did something amazing and when i was in
barcelona two years ago there was a
really nice girl here who'd actually got
hit she her hand got hit by a car and i
was in the middle of a workshop and she
caught she was my hand she's been hit by
a car i'm in a really bad way so i went
to meet her i said you got to go to
hospital no no i know you can fix me and
i was looking at her and she had the
look in her eyes of like what i call a
terrified pony look
and so i was talking to her and she said
oh it's already happening you know every
time you nudge me you're obviously doing
the healing and i really wasn't but she
clearly thought i was so i just carried
on
and said okay i'm commanding your
left hand which is hurt to become
exactly like your right hand so i did a
little bit of command therapy a bit of
healing vortex and she said i feel so
much better it doesn't even hurt i feel
great and the next day she did go to
have an x-ray and they said well it's
amazing your hand's been hit by a car
because there's practically no damage
there's no inflammation
tiny bit of bruising
and it's all fine
and when i very very first became a
therapist this gentleman came to see me
i never forgot him he was quite titled
and he came in for being an alcoholic
and he sat in front of me and i started
to talk he went my dear i can't speak
this is so powerful what you're doing
that i'm unable to speak and he put his
head on my desk and he thought he was in
deep hypnosis he really wasn't i thought
well you know
he thinks he's in deep hypnosis he
believes he's catatonic so i continued
the session and said
drinking no longer interest you know the
opposite of love is not hate it's
indifference from this moment on you are
indifferent to alcohol
disinterest now and guess what you love
not drinking you love it so much you
tell everyone
and i kind of carried on with the spiel
and at the end he opened his eyes and
went that that was marvelous
and i know it worked because he must
have sent me hundreds of people who said
well you looked at him and he went so
deep into a trance he did something very
odd to his mind and he's never had a
drop of alcohol since but you know i
really didn't do it he did it he came in
with a belief you're going to look at me
and do some stuff
and you're going to fix me
and really that's what healing is this
is not to denigrate religion at all when
the preacher says i put my hand on your
head and the holy spirit is healing you
it's your belief that's healing when you
go to countries like
lords where people say you know the
energy and the water and the holy water
healed me well
that's both true and not true your
belief system can heal you it can also
make you very sick
if you say you know i always get sinus
headaches in the winter i always get
headaches when it's cold i get my
tension headaches every monday the
amount of people i work with who get
sick on a monday and better on a friday
it's not that surprising because they
hate their job
so healing is self-healing and i've been
studying the mind for 33 years studying
something called
neuroplasticity which is
the mind's ability to change and eminent
doctors and scientists now say you know
the mind isn't static
it's very plastic we can look inside the
mind and see that thoughts
change neurons good thoughts make good
neurons
bad thoughts make bad neurons so your
mind is extremely gifted
at talking to your body it does it every
day
i ate that cake i know i'm gonna get fat
you know i knew it look i've gained a
pound i knew if i looked at a cake
i would get fat well actually weirdly
enough if you look at a cake
or a pizza or a hot dog saying that will
make me fat
i can get fat just inhaling food that
belief creates so much tension so much
cortisol and cortisol's job is to pack
on weight
if you look at food and go you know
whatever i eat
my metabolic rate burns it off i prefer
to eat healthy food that's my choice but
you know what a little bit of something
every now and again my body
knows how to burn that off
and i again you know my clients have
taught me everything you know i didn't
learn what i'm going to do with you
today from a book or even from my own
very eminent teachers i learned it from
my clients
many many years ago i was out with my
best friend and my daughter
and her husband who's terribly posh and
we all had mushrooms we all got sick
except he said i never get sick my body
simply would not dare
to reject any food i choose but it
wouldn't dare
dare to do that well i'm going to have
that belief too
my body would not dare to reject any
food i put in it my body would not dare
to do anything except take the food i
put in and combine it with light and
build a perfect body for me
so you always have a choice
your mind talks to your body all the
time that's its job and your job
is to tell your mind what you want i
want perfect health
i don't do illness i do wellness
everything i do is perfect you know i
was at a conference reasoning someone
wrote oh my god i'm so glad i listened
to your audio because you know i have
four hours of sleep and i tell my mind
i'm having eight and i thought i should
do that i'm teaching people this i
forgot i can do that too tell my mind i
had asleep tell my mind i feel amazing
tell my mind when i'm working out my
body loves this my muscles love this i
can do a bit more
rather than go oh
it all aches and i hate doing this and i
could be at home watching tv
so just to be very clear
your mind's job is to do what you tell
it and your job
should you choose to accept is to tell
it great things amazing things
i'm not aging i'm saging i'm and i'm
embodying wellness i have perfect
balance you can choose
not only does the mind tell the body
what to do
it also interrupts the signals coming
back from the body i've got this
crippling thumping headache can become
one i've got a little niggle in my head
but i'm really too busy to notice it
i'm in agony no you've just had a little
shot that's not agony this commute is
hell no hell is not having a car
or any gas and looking at people or
taking three buses to do your commute
being in this store is torture no
when you go to africa and you see they
don't have any stores and the ones they
do have no food and you'll never again
stand in rafts and go this is a
nightmare it's hell grocery shopping if
you have money in your wallet to buy
food with people that love you
that is so far beyond hell but people
use these words it's killing me it's a
disaster it's a nightmare
i was on a plane recently and this girl
went to the bathroom and she screamed so
loudly this year what happened oh my god
it was a disaster what should my movie
didn't pause when i went to the bathroom
and i don't know how to catch up it's
like wow people use that word on a plane
they shout out this is a disaster
but you know we don't even know we do
that and it's a very good idea to speak
to your friends hey what are the words i
use i worked with this
very famous model who her favorite word
was terrifying men talk to me terrifying
i've got off with this great l'oreal
advert terrifying um i i'm i'm going to
go to act now terrifying i'm like
darling it's not terrifying it's your
fantasy dream come true what would you
have given
20 years ago for this terror your baby
keeps you up all night swap places with
someone who's selling their house for
ivf and stop saying this is terrifying
this is a nightmare this is a disaster
because you are telling your body
to react as if it is indeed a nightmare
a disaster
your words shape your reality use better
words guess what you'll have
a better reality
it really is as simple as that
