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. Our 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. 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.
Understanding the Mind-Body Connection
Hello and happy, beautiful day to you. On today’s episode, we’re going to talk a bit more about the technical side of how healing works — diving deeper into the mind-body connection. Because let’s be honest: the more we understand anything, the easier it becomes to master it and to create real results.
Think about it — the more we understand how computers work, the easier it is to use them effectively. The same applies to your mind and body. The more clarity you have on how they communicate, the more easily you can use your mind to create healing and transformation.
Are Emotions Stored in the Cells?
One common belief that keeps people stuck is the idea that emotions are stored in the cells of the body. This belief sounds spiritual or even scientific at first, but in reality, it can make people feel that healing is harder than it actually is.
Because if emotions are “stored” inside the cells themselves, it implies that we can’t truly change — that those emotions are physically trapped and difficult to remove. But that’s not how it works.
In truth, emotions are communicated, not stored. And when we understand this, it becomes incredibly empowering — because communication can always change.
The Logic Behind It
Think about it logically. If emotions were literally stored in your cells, what would happen if someone lost a limb? They’d lose part of their emotions. Or since our body constantly repairs and replaces cells — for example, blood cells renew every few months, and our skeleton renews every 7–10 years — we’d be completely different people emotionally every decade.
But we’re not. We keep memories, feelings, and experiences, even though our physical cells change. That’s because the emotions and information are not stored in the cells — they’re communicated through them.
How Emotions Are Communicated
To visualize this, think of your computer. It feels like all the data and internet are stored right inside it. But in truth, much of that information is stored externally — on the cloud. Your computer simply accesses and communicates with it. If you throw away your old computer and get a new one, your photos and files are still there — because they were never actually stored on the device itself.
That’s exactly how your body and emotions work. The body communicates emotional information constantly — but the storage, the source, is beyond the physical structure of your cells.
Communication Through Light and Energy
Modern research shows that our bodies use biophotons — tiny particles of light — to communicate information throughout the body. It’s like the body’s own internal Wi-Fi system. Just as your phone or computer connects wirelessly through photons, your body uses similar light-based communication to transmit energy and information.
These photons, along with neurotransmitters, hormones, and electrical signals, allow your emotions and thoughts to influence your physical state instantly. This is part of what makes energy healing and mind-body communication so powerful.
Scientific Examples of Mind-Body Communication
The Placebo and Nocebo Effects
Consider the placebo effect. A person takes a fake pill — something that has no active ingredient — but they’re told it will help with pain or illness. And yet, their symptoms improve. The same pill can relieve pain for one person, reduce Parkinson’s symptoms for another, or even create side effects if someone is told it will — the nocebo effect.
Why? Because the mind communicates instructions to the body. The results change based on what the person believes and expects. If emotions were physically stored in cells, this kind of rapid, targeted change wouldn’t be possible. The effect would be permanent and unchanging. But the placebo wears off — because the information was communicated, not stored.
Multiple Personality Disorder
Another powerful example comes from people with multiple personality disorder (also known as dissociative identity disorder). Research shows that they can have completely different physical conditions depending on which personality is active. One personality might need glasses, while another has perfect vision. One might have diabetes; another might not. Their immune cells literally change behavior based on which personality — and emotional state — is present.
If emotions were stored in the cells, those changes would be impossible. But because information is communicated energetically and neurologically, the body adapts instantly. That’s how powerful your mind really is.
The Empowering Truth: You Can Change
When we understand that emotions are communicated — not trapped — it frees us. It means change is always possible. We can rewire, reprogram, and realign our mind and body to new emotional patterns and new levels of health.
Your emotions influence your energy, and your energy influences your biology. That’s why, when you change your mindset and emotional frequency, your body begins to respond. You are not stuck — you are dynamic, adaptive, and capable of transformation.
The Science of Connection
Research is now confirming what ancient wisdom has always known — that the body communicates through light, frequency, and energy. Bio photons, mitochondria, hormones, neurotransmitters, and even quantum entanglement play a role in how the body exchanges information. It’s a living, intelligent network — and your thoughts are the signals that guide it.
So, while it can feel like emotions are “in your body,” they’re actually being communicated through the body. And that’s the best news possible — because it means you can change that communication at any time.
Applying This to Healing
When we look at examples like the placebo effect or multiple personality research, we can clearly see how the mind influences the body. This understanding is not just inspiring — it’s practical. It shows that you truly can create radical change when you shift your mindset and emotional patterns.
So if you’ve ever felt like emotions were stuck in your body — I understand that feeling. It can seem that way, especially when emotions feel physical. But remember, your body is constantly renewing, and communication can always change. You are the one who can change it.
Your Power to Heal
Take in this feeling of empowerment — the awareness that you can change your body’s communication patterns right now. You are in control of your health. You have far more power than you realize. The moment you change the way you think and feel, your body begins to respond accordingly.
And if you want to go deeper, I invite you to join my free 90-minute Masterclass on Self-Healing. In it, I explain how the mind-body connection really works and how to overcome common misconceptions that keep people stuck. You can find the link in the episode notes or on my website.
Closing Thoughts
Ultimately, remember this: your cells are alive with light and communication. Just like the internet connects devices around the world, your mind and body are constantly exchanging energetic information. And you can change that communication — to create healing, transformation, and growth.
What you are capable of — what we are all capable of — is truly incredible.
