Self-Healing Insights: Why Your Nervous System Won’t Slow Down… And How to Finally Calm It (Sophie | Ep. 350)

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’re 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, and 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

Have you ever felt like your nervous system was just going and going and going? You know, in some cases, a person may try to sit down and relax and yet still feel amped. Or I’ve seen in other cases where people are just continuing to go, go, go, go, go, and they feel like they just cannot settle down. They cannot stop.

And so often the issue is different than people realize, and so it stays stuck. And, and what ultimately ends up happening is I see people who are kind of fighting that feeling or just draining themselves, keep going and keep going, or, you know, of course, doing things like yoga and tai chi or energy work or, you know, meditation or all of those things, trying to just get their nervous system to calm down.

But there’s typically a deeper reason that keeps this going. You know, so I’ll see people all the time who are kind of fighting themselves in that place, just trying to get it to slow down, and that was actually the very issue with the volunteer that I worked with on today’s episode. You know, I worked with a beautiful volunteer.

Her name is Sophie, and one of the things that was going on for her was this, was that she felt like she would feel suffocated in relationships if she stopped. Now, there were other things, too, and I want to expand on this because so often what can happen is people feel a mix of different emotions in a subconscious level.

Like I’ve worked with people, for example, who felt like if they sat down, they were lazy, and so what happened is they felt like they always had to keep going. And, you know, that subconscious programming with that judgment, maybe it was their mom or their dad or somebody growing up where they felt those feelings.

And so for them to just sit down and relax or be able to just calm their nervous system was nearly impossible because it felt like it was wrong to do so. Or I’ve seen people, even in this case with our beautiful volunteer, what can happen is, you know, it, it can be a counterintuitive feeling because there’s a feeling of her wanting to connect even more and deeper with her husband, and yet also this feeling of feeling suffocated.

Or what can happen is I’ll see where somebody has a spouse that’s working. So their spouse is working, and they feel like they need to be working, or they need to do something, or they’re not doing enough, or they’re not making enough, or they’re not good enough, or they don’t have a good enough purpose.

And at a deeper level in their subconscious mind, they’re feeling this feeling. They’re not important enough or good enough or something.

And so the nervous system basically says like, “You can’t stop. You can’t settle down. You can’t. If you do, you’re lazy or not good enough,” or guilt or whatever it is. And so it keeps going, and it keeps going. And so a person finds themselves over and over and over just always constantly on the go, go, go, go, go.

And I have seen this show up in so many ways. Or here can be another example where maybe I’ve seen people where they’ve had some type of trauma happen and/or some type of negative thing, and they feel like if they stop, something bad will happen, and so they can’t get themselves to stop. It’s just like this feeling of, of I have to keep going, ’cause they don’t feel like it’s safe To stop, to slow down, to just breathe for a moment.

And that’s the insight that I want to share because so often I’ve seen people who they, they can’t sleep. They’re in just go, go, go, go, go mode, and then they’re experiencing all kinds of health issues and, and feeling stuck, and that’s exactly what was happening with our beautiful volunteer. It’s just I, I absolutely love our volunteer.

She’s this beautiful being who self-aware, extremely self-aware, has been, you know, taught yoga for a while, taught all kinds of things, just into energy work and meditation and positive thinking, you know, just doing all of the things for years and years and years. And yet, there’s this feeling where she cannot get her nervous system to slow down to just be more regulated.

Now part of the thing that was going on with her also was this feeling that she had to have a big enough purpose. Like her purpose had to be huge and, and then so there’s this deep feeling just also f- feeling not good enough and not doing enough and not this and not that. And so as you can imagine, her nervous system didn’t want to allow her to slow down, to settle down.

She had to have this and that and that. And that’s my point, is so often that deeper subconscious programming can drive you or even feel like it’s driving you crazy because it just won’t stop. And then people are fighting it and fighting it. And so the insight that I want to share is this, is ultimately if you really check in and understand why it’s occurring and then don’t just push or force yourself, reprogram yourself.

So for example, even in another case where I worked with another beautiful volunteer, part of what happened is she felt like that, you know, uh, that she felt like she was lazy. She was called lazy a lot growing up and lazy and lazy. So what ended up happening in her case is that ultimately she felt like she couldn’t sit down.

Like if somebody, if she was gonna sit down, she was lazy, she felt critical of herself and all these things. So by the way, on a very subconscious note, what happened is the only time this other person, you know, would allow herself to sit down is if she was sick, is if she didn’t feel well. And of course, that was at a subconscious level because all she wanted to do was heal.

And so what can happen, and even in the case with today’s beautiful volunteer, Sophie, what can happen is that if the nervous system just keeps going and going and going and doesn’t have any relief or doesn’t have any, um, any ability to stop ’cause it feels like it has to just go, go, go, go, go- Then the body can, at a subconscious level, want to at least have some type of health issue, if you will, to allow, allow the person to sit down where they say, “You know what?

I’m not feeling well. I now get to rest. I now get to relax. I now get to something or other.” Even though a person does not consciously want that. So I know it’s very counterintuitive, but what you’ll want to keep in mind with the subconscious mind is that it’s opposite a lot of times of what a person really wants, you know?

Even if you think about people who are trying for success, and they’re really wanting to be successful in life, and then they end up sabotaging it, or people who want a relationship, and then they end up sabotaging it. You know, so often what somebody’s wanting consciously, it can be really counterintuitive at a subconscious level.

And so that’s the insight that I want to share because, you know, all of the time you hear people trying to calm their nervous system, and what they don’t realize, and, and I’ll see people time and time and time again who say that exact thing. They’ve… Their nervous system won’t stop, and it’s just out of…

Like, it just feels like they’re always just on, like, high and can’t, can’t, can’t stop. And at a deeper level, there’s always a reason. And so ultimately what you’d want to do to get it to stop, and this is what I do when I work with people, is identify what is the specific reason or multiple reasons many times, and I help them identify those and then shift those.

And so that’s what you’d want to do in your life, is really identify why your mind and body don’t feel like it’s safe or don’t feel like it’s okay to just calm down for a moment, to relax and really enjoy. So that’s the insight that I want to share with you today, is exactly that. And by the way, if you’d like to listen to this full episode, this session where I work with our beautiful volunteer, Sophie, there are a lot of really, really amazing insights.
