Welcome to Heal Yourself, Change Your Life. My name is Brandy Gillmore. And after recovering from my own life changing injury, it's become my mission to share with others the same discoveries I made that changed my health and my entire life. Minds are truly incredible. The placebo is proof of this. Each week, I will take this simple awareness to a whole new level.
I will even coach live callers to free themselves of physical pain using only their mind. And then I'll provide you with a combination of practical and spiritual insights that you can use to master your mind, your emotions, and your energy. to help you heal your health, yourself, and your life. Let's begin.
Hello, and welcome to this week's quick IQ episode where we talk about insights and questions. And today I want to share a few really important insights regarding working with the mind. And you know, if you think about past episodes, you see people working with their mind to get radical results, to release pain or create all kinds of changes.
And you can see that it makes logical sense. And so today I want to share with you a few things that I see people doing that unfortunately keep them stuck or keep them from healing themselves or even reinforce patterns. And this is something that I see all the time. All of the time, you know, when I first started working with the mind, I had people who would even say, you know, when I just started, they would say, you know, that I was working with the mind in the wrong way because they had always learned that you're supposed to work with the stress first or the trauma first or the childhood self first.
So they saw me working with the future self first. And they thought, well, no, Brandy, you're supposed to work with the childhood self first. And I've had a lot of people over the years believe that. However, when it comes to the processes that I've been sharing and healing with the mind and getting these results, you'll want to remember to work with the mind in a different way.
And to illustrate what I mean, I want you to first think about this, you know, first and foremost, if you think about the awareness that everything the mind does, it does it for a reason. Even if it's not optimal, and even if it's completely counterintuitive, it does it for a reason. You know, the example that you'll hear me use all of the time is that unfortunately, a cutter may cut themselves and experience a feeling of relief or euphoria or control from cutting themselves.
And so we can see how information can get linked up in the mind. That doesn't make logical sense. Now let's take, for example, a pattern of anger. You know, remembering that everything a person does, they do it for a reason. There's always this subconscious reason, which I refer to as the MBSS needs. There's always a need we're fulfilling.
Even if we don't consciously realize it. For example, if we look at the pattern of anger or upset or frustration or, you know, whatnot, but if we look at the pattern of anger for a moment, a lot of times people may feel like if they have the feeling of anger that it makes them strong. They feel like, okay, if I get angry, I can stand up for myself, or I have to get angry to get what it is that I want.
So these can get linked up in the subconscious mind. Now, imagine for a moment, if somebody has a patterned way of feeling, of getting angry and feeling as though that protects them, that keeps them safe. Now, the reason that it's important to move this forward. Is picture this, if a person has a pattern of anger that they feel like is keeping them safe, and this is the way that their brain has linked up to protect themselves or be able to be heard.
Now, imagine for a moment if their first action is to go back to their childhood self and try to get rid of this pattern. To go back to the problem or go back to the childhood self and try to release this pattern. What is the problem with this? You might already see it. You know, number one, the problem with this is that if this pattern has felt like it was keeping them safe and being able to stand up for themselves, if by chance they get rid of this pattern, then what are they going to use to keep themselves safe in the now?
Well, likely their brain doesn't know. And so it could go the right way. Or it could go the wrong way. You know, maybe suddenly their brain could get a new positive pattern of then getting their way in a positive way, possibly, but most of the time it'll actually, unfortunately default to the negative, or they just have more fear in life.
So then they feel more unsafe. Now they don't feel a way to protect themselves. And so what typically happens is. This could result in more fear, which could result in more illness, or it could result in additional negative patterns, just like if you've ever heard somebody before where they try to give up one type of addiction and then they just move to a different type of addiction.
And so that can happen, or, you know, even we talked about a few episodes ago where there was a beautiful volunteer who realized that her subconscious mind linked up illness to keeping her safe. And I see that all of the time as well. And so let's say somebody feels like anger was keeping them safe and now they don't have that, that could easily default to illness or of course just feeling more fear in life because they no longer have a quote unquote way of standing up for themselves, so to speak.
And of course there are much better ways to stand up for yourself, much more harmonious ways and better ways of protecting yourself and getting what it is that you're wanting. The end. That's exactly my point is that when we go to give up a pattern, the first thing we want to do is program our minds for what we want it to do instead.
So we want to understand how it's meeting our needs. You know, does this pattern feel like it's keeping you safe? And if so, then you'll want to create a new patterned way of feeling safe that can replace it. That works even better. Because as we know, anger doesn't really keep you safe. Anger is bad for your health.
It's bad for your life. Plus if you get angry, that's more conflict, which can increase problems and all kinds of things. So anger is not a good tool. But again, as we talked about with the cutter, the mind can link up information. That doesn't make logical sense. And it does that all of the time. And so my point, of course, is not that we need to keep and hold on to anger.
Not at all. It's that we all need to understand our own minds. And instead of just looking at the negative and trying to get rid of it, because that's what most people try to do. They try to just get rid of the pattern, go back to childhood and rewire that pattern. However, our current self needs to know.
a different skill. It needs to learn. You know, it's kind of like if we've been speaking English our entire lives and we need to now speak German to help us or French or Italian, whatever it is, we need to learn a new way of being. You know, if somebody has been using anger their entire life to keep them safe, or they perceive that it is keeping them safe, either way, if you just try to take away the pattern, a person will feel safe.
less safe. However, if you first reprogram the mind moving forward, so the current self knows how to proceed in a more positive way that feels safer, that feels better, that is more positive, that is great for your health and your life and your happiness, that is better on every level. It's better for healing, and it's also a lot easier.
To make a genuine change. You know, I can't tell you how often I've heard people say things such as that, you know, they've been working on a pattern, a childhood pattern for 10, years, and they're having a hard time getting rid of it. And that's because we really need to trade up. We need to program our minds with what new action to take, what feels better, what is fulfilling and replacing and, you know, trading up from that old pattern.
Then it becomes so much easier to get rid of that negative pattern and genuinely Reprogram your mind. And so that's the very reason that I call my process Reverse Emotional Processing or Reverse Emotional Mind Programming is for that very reason, because it is reverse. It is opposite what you may have learned or opposite what we tend to do as human beings.
We tend to want to look at the negative and look at the problem, but it is so much easier if we train our brains to move forward, how we want them to move forward and how we want that new programming to meet our needs. So we feel even safer and have positive emotional patterns and positive programming to move us forward.
So that is key. And you can see that difference, you know, so we don't want to put ourselves in additional fear. And that is something that I'll see people do all of the time. And, you know, if you think back to the cutter, Somebody who cuts themselves and experiences feelings of relief or control or safety from cutting themselves.
You'll want to just really keep in mind that it doesn't make logical sense. And that's, again, the reason that we all need to understand our own minds because it's not logical. So we can have an emotional pattern that we feel like is keeping us safe. And it's not. And then we remove that emotional pattern without replacing first our feelings of safety and reprogramming our mind to feel safe moving forward.
That is key because if we put ourselves in increased feelings of fear or feeling less safe, we're not going to get the body to heal itself. That's going to be opposite of the direction that you need to go. To be able to get real results. And so that's what I really wanted to highlight, just because, you know, if you think about the last episode or even plenty of other episodes, you'll see me always trying to move people forward.
And I can't tell you how many times when I first started working with the mind of people who said, wait, you're working with the mind in the wrong way. Because of course they had always learned to do it the other way. So the thing that you want to keep in mind is reverse emotional programming is. So important.
So just remember, we need to first move it forward. By the way, anytime you're working with mind programming, you'll want to make sure and really ask yourself how you genuinely feel and tune in and get used to connecting with your emotions. Now, the reason I emphasize this is I'm telling you. All of the time, I see people doing things that are reinforcing illness and they don't realize it.
And I mean, I just, I can't emphasize this enough. Even if I gave you examples from recently, you know, just this past week or two, one example could be this is that, you know, there was this woman who had an affirmation that she was saying every day, That she was saying, I'm not afraid of people. I'm not afraid of people.
And she had this as her affirmation that she was saying over and over and over again. Now, as you can probably imagine, she had a deep fear of people that you can't trust people. And these feelings were connected to multiple health issues that she had, including, you know, her body wanted to keep gaining weight and just multiple other health issues.
Now, as she was saying, I'm not afraid of people. I'm not afraid of people. She was actually triggering herself. And let me give you an example. You know, imagine for a moment, if somebody is saying every day, I am not afraid of sharks. I am not afraid of sharks. And they have a feeling of fear of sharks. What they're ultimately doing is triggering that subconscious fear of sharks.
over and over and over again. So you want to remember that you genuinely need to feel differently. And so while this person was trying to help their health, they were actually reinforcing the problem and triggering themselves over and over and over again. Now, this one might seem more logical where it's easy to see, but there are other things.
I mean, another example, you know, there was this man who was working on meditation. And he was using this meditation and he was trying to get rid of his stress. And so there was a meditation that he was using, and this is what he would do in the meditation. He would say, I'm going to take all of my stress and he would say, and I'm going to spin it in circles and launch it past beyond the sun, and he would There was a sound he would say, and just take that stress and go, you know, just take that stress and take that stress and swirl and like, you're going to swish it around and swish it and spin it around and spin it around and spin it around, spin it around and then launch it into outer space.
Now. He felt like that was his way of gearing up and taking it all and taking all the stress and spinning it all around and collecting it all and spinning it all around and spinning around and launching it into space. Now what he was actually creating in himself was a feeling of congestion, a feeling of stress spinning all around that he kept ending up with all these respiratory infections and chest infections because he was creating a feeling of congestion.
of congestion and spinning. And sometimes he would also have lightheadedness and vertigo because he was creating all of these spinning feelings. However, in his meditation that he was doing constantly, he thought he was working on getting rid of stress and helping himself heal. And so what you really want to notice from this is above all, That you'll want to pay attention to how you're feeling.
That above all, that the mind is not logical. It's just not. We know that. It is illogical. Our emotions are illogical. And that above all, you're the power. And that you'll want to pay attention. You'll want to know your emotions. You'll want to be able to check into how you feel and do what feels great to you.
Now, I say do what really feels great to you, but of course, paying attention and then also understanding the logic because, I mean, let's be honest, somebody who's On drugs, drugs could feel great to them or somebody who's addicted to alcohol, alcohol could feel great to them. So I say, you know, do what feels great to you, but then also understand why it is feeling good for you and make sure it really is.
Good for you. So again, it's a bit tricky, but the biggest thing that I really want to invite you to take from this is that if you're working on getting rid of some type of negative pattern, that making sure you have a positive replacement, just keeping in mind reverse emotional processing. And I emphasize this because it is very counterintuitive and it is also key for getting results in life with healing, with transformation and making the self help You know, personal empowerment, mind reprogramming, all of that much easier.
So it's not just about creating a general reprogramming where we say, Oh, well, I'm just going to reprogram my mind with the meditation. And while some meditations may be great, you'll want to make sure that you're understanding what your mind is doing and why your mind is holding on to some type of negative pattern or issue.
And then. replacing it so it meets your needs in a better way. So it feels safe. So it feels healthy and happy and promotes a better life. You know, you're trading up, if you will, you're improving your own mind programming. So that of course is key and that's today's quick IQ episodes. I want to invite you from this episode that if you are working on getting rid of a negative pattern, get clear on your new replacement, understand why your brain is holding onto it, And start replacing that and trading up, rewire your mind in a positive way.
So that is key. And I want to ask you to please do take just a quick moment and hit the share button on this episode. You know, share it with somebody you love, somebody you care about, or somebody you don't even know, because the more empowered and happy and healthy and loving and loved that every single person is in our world, The better this world is for all of us.
