IQ-188: Why Raising Your Frequency Isn’t Enough to Heal—The Missing Link to True Healing

Ready to rethink everything you’ve been told about healing? In this episode, we’ll dive deep into the powerful—and often misunderstood—connection between your emotions and your body’s ability to restore itself. Discover why simply “raising your frequency” isn’t the key, how science-backed insights into bio-photons are rewriting what we know about wellness, and why honest, positive emotional shifts create true, lasting change.

We’ll unpack the myths surrounding placebos, explore how open-label placebos can deliver real results, and show you how to use this information to leverage your emotions to spark real healing from within. If you’re ready to trade quick fixes for authentic transformation, this conversation will open your eyes to a new era of mind-body medicine.

The Role of Energy in Healing

In this episode, Brandy dives deep into concepts that challenge common misconceptions about energy and healing. One major insight is the concept of biophotons, the light energy emitted by our cells, and how its balance—not mere intensity—is critical for health. Raising energy frequencies indiscriminately, for instance, can be counterproductive; instead, the body thrives on harmony and balance.


Why Balance Is Better Than Command

Brandy also cautions against simply commanding the body, such as instructing it to raise its energy or frequency, as this could disrupt natural processes like heart rhythms or brainwaves. Instead, fostering balance in all systems ensures sustainable health.


Emotions as a Gateway to Healing

The role of emotions is pivotal. Negative patterns such as anger, guilt, or stress can dysregulate energy, while positive emotions and optimism foster healing. Scientific studies, including research on placebos, demonstrate that belief and positive emotional shifts can physically impact healing outcomes. Remarkably, even open-label placebos—where patients know they are taking a placebo—can yield significant results, showcasing the power of mindset.


Deep Transformation for Lasting Health

Brandy emphasizes that true healing stems from addressing emotional patterns at a deeper, subconscious level. Temporary shifts are not enough; lasting change requires a comprehensive emotional reprogramming that aligns with the body’s natural balance. She also highlights studies linking stress to biochemical changes, such as increased free radicals, which further underscore the mind’s role in physical well-being.

Ultimately, Brandy’s insights remind us that healing is not about external commands or temporary fixes. It’s about fostering optimism, addressing emotional imbalances, and unlocking the mind’s incredible potential to heal the body.


Key Takeaways:

  1. Balance Over Intensity: The body thrives on balanced energy, not just high frequencies. Misguided energy manipulation can harm rather than heal.
  2. Role of Biophotons: Light energy emitted by our cells reflects physical and emotional health. Harmony in biophoton emissions is essential.
  3. Emotional Shifts Matter: Positive emotions like optimism directly influence healing. Deep emotional reprogramming is essential for lasting change.
  4. The Power of the Mind: Studies on placebos show that belief, emotional shifts, and the mind-body connection profoundly impact health.
  5. Holistic Healing: Lasting wellness involves addressing underlying emotional patterns and fostering a balanced, healthy mind-body relationship.

Brandy’s teachings serve as a powerful reminder of the potential within all of us to heal, transform, and thrive by mastering the connection between our thoughts, emotions, and physical health.

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. And then I’ll provide you with a combination of practical and spiritual insights that you can use to master your mind and body, your emotions, and your energy to help you heal your health, yourself, and your life.

Let’s begin.

Hello and happy beautiful day to you. On today’s episode, we are going to geek out a bit in a beautiful way and talk about mind-body healing, the connection, and how it all works. I just love where we’re going. You know, the reason that I have been able to heal myself or show others how to get results and even demonstrate healing with the mind under medical equipment is because of the way I understand the mind. I see it in a different way and was able to look at the details—and that was pivotal.

Understanding the Energy of the Body

The reason we’re going to explore this topic today is because of last week’s IQ episode. If you recall, we talked about people getting stuck in misconceptions, mistruths, or misinformation that keeps them from healing. And what I love is that so many people reached out with “aha” moments last week—huge awareness about energy, the mind, and how it works. Also, many reached out with questions about the placebo, energy, and how it works. I love that because understanding it has been pivotal for me in getting results.

Understanding anything—even a computer—makes it easier to get the results you want. If you don’t understand how to use a computer, pressing buttons randomly can be frustrating. Understanding is key.

Today, we’re going to dive into this information and unpack some of these questions. We’ll talk about the open-label placebo, the energy of the body, and commanding the body to do certain things. So let’s start with the energy of the body.

Last week, as I was talking about the energy of the body, I referred to it as biophotons. However, we could also call it the aura, spiritual energy, or life force energy. This energy has many names. Medically, it was discovered a hundred years ago as “mitogenetic radiation.” It’s also known as UPE (ultra-weak photon emissions) or simply biophotons.

Some may think the energy of the body is just a “woo-woo” spiritual notion. Yes, there is a spiritual aspect. Even in biblical times, angels were depicted with halos—representing energy. However, it has also been medically discovered that the body emits light energy.

A simple way to understand this is by thinking about a light bulb. It emits photons, as does the sun. Similarly, the body emits photons, referred to as biophotons. What’s fascinating is that this light energy is integral to our health.

The Impact of Frequency and Light Energy

Often, people say, “To heal, just raise your energy or frequency.” But let’s be careful. Think of the heart’s rhythm. You don’t want no heartbeat, nor an overly high-frequency heartbeat. The same goes for brainwaves. Balance is essential.

Cancer cells, for example, emit higher frequencies. So when people say, “Just raise your frequency,” that’s not entirely correct. We need a healthy frequency, not necessarily a higher one.

Healthy biophoton emissions are very important. Think of it like a plant needing sunlight. Too much sun isn’t good, nor is no sun at all. Our bodies need light energy at optimal levels. Simply saying, “Raise your energy” doesn’t work because the body needs balance.

Sometimes, people tell their bodies to do specific things, and the body listens—to their detriment. For instance, I shared a story about someone with type 2 diabetes who hypnotized themselves to produce more insulin. It worked—too well—and they ended up hospitalized with low blood sugar.

What we want is for the body to achieve homeostasis. Instead of commanding the body, focus on emotions and the subconscious mind. Studies show that our thoughts and emotions directly influence biophoton emissions. Positive emotions increase healthy emissions, while anger or stress can increase unhealthy emissions.

The Power of Emotions in Healing

When thinking about healing, it’s clear that emotions play a pivotal role. Stress can lead to autoimmune issues. Anger or guilt can create imbalances. Even simple reactions, like blushing when embarrassed, show how emotions affect the body.

Studies also show that meditation lowers biophoton emissions. So imagine someone saying, “Raise your frequency” while meditating, which lowers it. This highlights why we should not command the body but rather focus on releasing negative patterns.

Creating emotional change at a deep level is key. For example, research shows that optimism speeds up healing after surgery. Fear or stress slows healing and increases the risk of rehospitalization.

Exploring the Placebo and Open-Label Placebo

We’ve all heard about the placebo—a fake treatment that creates real results. During my injury, I believed healing was about belief alone. I visualized, affirmed, and believed, yet I didn’t heal. Then I learned about the open-label placebo—where both the doctor and patient know the treatment is fake, yet it works. This proves it’s not just about belief.

Emotions drive this phenomenon. A belief that life will get better creates optimism, which accelerates healing. Conversely, fear and stress can hinder it. The doctor-patient relationship also plays a role, as does novelty and connection with others after a placebo treatment.

Even with placebos, emotional shifts create results. However, lasting healing requires deeper emotional work. Temporary improvements come from surface-level shifts, but profound change requires addressing the subconscious mind.

Simplifying the Complexity

If we simplify everything, the message is clear: Don’t command the body. Instead, heal emotions at a subconscious level. Boost positive expectation and optimism. Research shows that optimism extends life by up to 15% and reduces the risk of heart disease.

So notice any negative patterns in your subconscious. Genuine change is needed to re-pattern the mind for lasting healing.
