Welcome to Heal Yourself. Change Your Life. I’m Brandy Gillmore and what I’m most known for is helping people to create radical transformations and even demonstrating the power of the mind and self-healing under medical equipment so you can see the results and my work has even been published in a medical journal because it’s truly incredible what we are all capable of when we understand our own minds at a deeper level.
So whether you’re new to this work or you’ve been studying the power of the mind for many years. I love that you are here. I love that we’re on this incredible journey together, and I look forward to sharing breakthrough information with you. That said, on this podcast, I’ll share two types of episodes.
First, self-healing episodes, where I share key insights from working with live volunteers. And the second type are where I answer questions from the audience. That said, if you’d like to volunteer or submit a question, come visit me at BrandyGillmore.com. On that note, let’s dive in.
Hello and happy, beautiful day to you. I want to add in a quick but important note to make this podcast very easy to navigate because today’s episode has a special format. Today I worked with a live volunteer. As you probably know, there are a lot of people who are now using AI to modify information online.
For that reason, we have taken an extra step to help protect our beautiful volunteer and the integrity of this work to help keep the information from being modified. And we actually love how this turned out because it provides you with even more information. This is how it works. On today’s episode, you’ll hear an overview of the person that I worked with, and I will provide you with simple but powerful breakthrough insights that helped our volunteer begin making a radical shift.
Then at the end of this short breakthrough episode, if you are ready for a deep dive, you can click in the show notes to gain access to the actual self-healing session where I worked directly with the live volunteer. This enables us to help protect the information online from being modified. While still continuing to provide you with powerful information to help bridge the gap between science and spirituality and personal empowerment, because it’s truly incredible what you are capable of when you learn to understand your mind at a deeper level.
That said, let’s dive into the simple but powerful insights that came from working with today’s volunteer. Here we go.
For today’s self-healing insight episode, I worked with a beautiful volunteer. His name is John, and he just has very grounded energy where he’s just, he’s a man who’s been very successful and he just has this energy of. Just being very analytical and wanting to understand information and I just, I love that.
And for that reason, we’re first going to take a moment and just really ground the information with mind body healing, because let’s be honest, so often it can feel tricky. It can feel confusing on how to work with the mind to get real results to healing the body. And this episode really illustrates. The reason that mind body healing can feel so confusing or complicated or elusive or tricky or all of the above.
Let’s be honest, when we stop and think about the big picture, we have known for many, many years that stress affects the physical body. That is well proven. We know that even research back in the 1970s with psychoneuroimmunology shows. That stress affects the physical body or even there’s the placebo, so we can see the mind body connection.
Now, the reason this episode really illustrates. Why this is so confusing is because of the circumstances and situation with our beautiful volunteer. John. Now, to give you a little bit of backstory regarding John, he’s just a really sweet, lovely, wonderful guy who is intelligent. He’s been successful, he’s 66 years old, he has had. A lot of trauma and hardship throughout his life, from family trauma to his son’s heroin, addiction to divorce, and a lot of different things going on and up until this point, the recent years in his life, he’s actually been really healthy and in good shape. However, recently he got married, also had a child, and in the last few years as he’s had all of these wonderful things going on where he is got a new wife and they’re madly in love and all of the sweetness and all of these things, he’s now experiencing a. A variety of different health issues. So he has an eye surgery that isn’t healing as expected, and he’s also had anxiety and foot pain and so of course his conscious mind is perplexed. He’s wondering, how is this even possible that he’s had all of this bad trauma in his past and stress, and he always. Remained healthy, and now that life is good and amazing and wonderful and incredible, and he’s in love, and he’s so sweet and it’s incredible.
Like why is he having health issues now? Why is he having anxiety now? And so he’s perplexed because it doesn’t make logical sense. And yet he can also see that when he is stressed, he can see that it affects his health and that it affects his pain. And so that’s. The counterintuitive piece, of course. And so what happened as I started working with John, some of the things that came up that I was able to identify were emotions of feeling guilt about being happy and by the way, this is very common, that a person might have a life that’s going better and better, and they feel guilty. In fact, in my own life. With my injury, if you’ve heard, you know my story with survivor’s guilt after 9/11, I felt guilty for quote unquote surviving, which doesn’t make logical sense and yet, it was there. And so when we look at John’s situation, there’s this feeling that he’s stepped into this life and he’s got this beautiful, wonderful wife and they’re madly in love and it’s so sweet. And they have this new baby. And so part of the thing is, is he started feeling guilty. That he wasn’t there enough for his son.
And then he started feeling guilty about his son’s heroin addiction. That if he had done more or been more, or all of these things that maybe he could have fixed that or it was his fault. And he started feeling these deeper emotions of guilt and self blame. Now, of course, it’s not his fault, but that’s the way he started taking it in and feeling that. And there were other emotions that came up as well because now he’s got this great, wonderful new baby and this relationship and it’s so sweet. And what happened is now that he started to feel these health issues, suddenly started to feel like he’s aging, then it started creating more fear about his longevity and oh my gosh, is he going to be able to take care of his new wife and his child? And, so he started going into that spiral of his future and, all of these things. So in other words, fears started coming up for him and. Of course, part of that had to do with going back to the guilt and the feeling of self blame and all of these things at a deeper level.
And so the insights that I want to invite you to look at from this episode is first and foremost, the mind can be so counterintuitive. I can’t tell you how many times I have worked with people who stepped into amazingness in the next level of their life, feeling happy and great, and everything is wonderful.
And then sickness or problems showed up as some type of sabotage because there was some part of them who felt guilty, et cetera, and it was affecting them. Now, the thing of it is, is the reason that I really want to emphasize this is I cannot tell you how often I’ve seen people who had these situations or circumstances and then spent 5, 10, 20, 30 years of their lives trying to heal every trauma or childhood wounding or this or that, and going from one type of therapy to another, to another, to another, to another. Overlooking the very key without really understanding the mind body connection. And so they spent years doing that, focused on the trauma and identifying one trauma after another after another.
And yet not healing. And so if we think about John’s situation here where he’s mentioned that he’s had years and years and years and years of trauma, that’s exactly what I see most people doing is they don’t necessarily understand the specific things that can affect the mind body connection. And they think, oh, it’s just trauma.
I have to go clean up trauma. And they do that. And they spend years doing that and it doesn’t work because you’ll want to remember in working with the mind, it is very specific. And the example that I use all of the time to illustrate this is this, is that when we stop and think about it, we can see that there are police officers or military who even have severe PTSD, severe trauma, and I have so much compassion for them but we can see that they’re not necessarily physically sick. And then conversely, we can see that somebody with a lot less quote unquote trauma can have illness. My point is that trauma is not the answer to mind body healing, though, of course it could be, but the mind body connection is not solely influenced based on trauma.
And another simple way to illustrate this. Is to think about somebody who is embarrassed. Their face can turn red. That’s not a huge trauma. It’s an emotional connection. Now, let’s be honest, some people could be really embarrassed and it could be a trauma. Absolutely. They could be extremely embarrassed and their face turns red, and it could be a major thing or it could be something they feel embarrassed about and their face turns red and they’re laughing about it, and it’s not that big of a deal, but their face turns red. So the emotions can impact if it’s a huge trauma or if it’s not. It really just depends on the emotion. Or somebody could feel nervous and have sweaty palms, they could feel nervous for a job interview. And have sweaty palms. That’s not a trauma, it’s an emotion. And so my point is, when it comes to mind body healing, it is crucial to identify the specific emotions and then also to accept that it may be a trauma, but it also may not be a huge trauma per se, but an emotional pattern.
And so if somebody has an emotional pattern of feeling embarrassed frequently, their face can turn red, even if it’s not hugely traumatic, but it’s an emotional pattern. And so the key to mind body healing isn’t just going from one trauma to another, to another, to another, to another. It’s really identifying the specifics and that’s what’s key.
And what’s beautiful is that he was able to bring his pain down from about a level six, seven, down to about a three four. So the beautiful thing is, is that John could see the mind body connection, and he could see. That what was impacting him. Now, of course, it does take a deeper level of change, and for John, he’s just this really sweet, caring, loving man, and because of his son going through the heroin addiction, et cetera, and how much he loves his son, there’s this feeling of needing to process even more and really stop blaming himself, et cetera. So I didn’t want to push too much because there was a, stuckness there. And so instead giving him time to process to really begin creating this change. And so those are the insights. And of course there were other insights as well from this episode that were really powerful but I just wanted to highlight. These and share these awarenesses just because they’re key. And so often I’ll see people who are, spending so many years on the healing journey and they’re overlooking the specific things that are impacting them. And of course when they then identify them, they can address them and create that genuine change, which will be key.
