221: Releasing Self-Blame and Stepping Into Your Power to Reclaim Your Health, Relationships and Your Life

In this illuminating episode of Heal Yourself, Change Your Life, Brandy Gillmore explores the profound connection between emotional patterns, relationships, and physical health. Working with Lori, a long-time student of metaphysics and mind-body healing, Brandy delves into how unresolved emotional energy, particularly around relationships, can manifest in our physical and emotional well-being.

This episode brings attention to an often overlooked aspect of mind-body healing – the awareness of what resides in the subconscious mind.

Through deep self-awareness and practical tools, Brandy demonstrates how to turn past struggles into a springboard for empowered change, guiding Lori toward clarity and healing.


Recognizing Patterns: The Key to Lasting Transformation

A central theme in this session is the power of emotional patterns in shaping our health and relationships. Lori shared that her physical issues—primarily affecting the right side of her body—seemed to mirror deeper, unresolved feelings, particularly anger toward her ex-partner. Despite believing she had moved past the anger, Lori realized that buried emotions were still active in her subconscious mind.

Brandy emphasized the importance of bringing these patterns to light without self-blame. Rather than labeling past emotions or experiences as “fault,” she encouraged Lori to embrace empowerment. This perspective shift—from blame to growth—creates an open pathway for true healing.


From Reactivity to Empowerment

One of the most powerful exercises Brandy shared involved contrasting emotions to uncover hidden feelings. By inviting Lori to explore unrelated, light-hearted sensations (such as imagining being a koala bear), Brandy helped her distinguish which emotions were still present in her energy. This playful approach not only created emotional clarity but also made the process feel less intimidating.

The session underscored that true empowerment comes from recognizing the ability to shift patterns and rewrite the narrative. For Lori, this meant rethinking her past relationships—not as a source of guilt or fault, but as opportunities to grow, heal, and move forward with confidence.


Creating a Vision for Love and Connection

A standout moment in the episode came when Lori admitted her hesitation about entering a new relationship. Although she desired connection, fears rooted in past patterns held her back. Brandy guided Lori to envision a future relationship free of old dynamics—one characterized by joy, love, and mutual understanding.

This shift from fear to excitement marked a turning point. By imagining a positive, loving partnership, Lori began to reshape her expectations, increasing her openness to new possibilities.


Practical Insights for Empowered Relationships

Brandy's approach offers actionable insights for anyone seeking to improve their relationships and emotional well-being:

  1. Contrast Emotions for Clarity: Use playful, contrasting feelings to identify lingering emotional patterns in your subconscious.
  2. Replace Blame with Empowerment: Instead of attributing fault, focus on how you can transform patterns to create the life you want.
  3. Envision a Positive Future: Take time to imagine your ideal relationships and how they would feel. This practice helps reprogram your subconscious with positive expectations.
  4. Release Reactive Patterns: Notice when you’re holding onto reactive emotions like anger or guilt, and practice letting them go with compassion for yourself and others.
  5. Stay Open to Love: If fears from past experiences are holding you back, remind yourself that you are capable of creating a new, healthier dynamic.

Key Takeaways from This Episode

  1. Self-Awareness is Transformative: Lori’s ability to recognize hidden emotions was the first step in her healing process. Take time to tune into your feelings and identify patterns that no longer serve you.
  2. Empowerment Over Blame: Shifting your mindset from blame to empowerment allows you to embrace change without guilt or judgment.
  3. Healing Takes Vision: Envision the relationships and experiences you want to attract. Visualization is a powerful tool for rewriting emotional and energetic patterns.
  4. The Power of Playfulness: Approaching emotional work with curiosity and light-heartedness can make the process more enjoyable and effective.
  5. Healing is a Journey: True transformation requires ongoing effort, reflection, and reinforcement of positive patterns.

Your Invitation to Transform

Brandy’s session with Lori serves as a reminder that healing is not just about addressing physical symptoms—it’s about embracing emotional clarity and empowered change. As you move forward, consider how you can rewrite your own patterns to create more love, connection, and vitality in your life.

Take a moment to reflect: What relationships or emotions might be shaping your current experiences? What steps can you take today to create a brighter, more empowered future?
