Does it really work? Absolutely. "Healing from within" is about activating your innate capacity for well-being. It's not just about treating symptoms, but about addressing the root causes of imbalance by cultivating inner resources. This involves understanding the mind-body connection, processing emotions healthily, examining beliefs, increasing self-awareness and self-compassion, and connecting with your inner strength. It's a holistic journey that empowers you to heal deeply and sustainably.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Good evening and welcome to Journey Joan, only on the
Bold Brave TV network, where we dive into the depths
of spirituality, self discovery, and the connections that shape our lives.
In today's episode, we are talking about healing from within,
tapping into our inner power. Now what does that really mean?
(01:22):
Well again, so first off, disclaimer again, I am not
a medical doctor. I am not a medical health professional
like mental health professional as well I am. This is
strictly talking about spiritual spirituality and spiritually thinking and these
(01:43):
also are what I have experienced in my career. Okay,
all right, So healing from within does it really work?
It actually does. I have witnessed it firsthand. It may
seem really hokey, but really, when we start to heal
(02:05):
ourselves from within. We start healing the hurt, the trauma,
the everything that everyone told us that we aren't or
that we can't be, or what else. You know. I
think you get the gist there, right, So whatever anyone's
(02:29):
told you, and it's stuck within your heart and it
causes you pain and discomfort essentially, and it also causes
the you know, causes us to have outbursts. Those experiences
(02:52):
from the past can define what's going on in the future. Now,
spiritually thinking as well, is that we could actually turn
on DNA, right, So just as again this is spiritual thinking,
(03:15):
and they there is some science to it, but again
I don't know what the journals are for that science.
I'm sure if you looked it up you could find it.
But basically, we all have DNA and we can turn
(03:36):
things on and we can turn things off. If we
choose to turn on, say a bad gene that can
cause us diseases, we can also turn it off in
that same token. So whether we believe that our DNA
(04:00):
is our DNA and that's it, there's no changing it
or adjusting it, well, then that's that's ours. Because again,
a lot of everything that we do is based on
our will and our thoughts. Right, so today is good Friday,
(04:24):
So good Friday to everyone, to everyone. If we really
think about it in that sense, if you want to
look through Bible sense, everything that goes out it is
it usually ends with thy will be done. Right, So
(04:47):
if we're thinking about that thy will, that's our will
be done. So it really says a lot right there, right.
It also at like in the Bible everywhere it says
ask and ye shall receive. But then in the you know,
(05:07):
next line or whatever, thy will be done. So if
we don't believe that we are enough or worthy of something,
that means our will be our will will be done,
which would mean that we don't get it because we
don't feel we are enough or worthy of receiving that. Okay,
(05:35):
so now let's break it down. Let's break it down
to healing. How do we heal this? First off, some
of us don't even know what kind of junk we
have within our energy body, within our heart. Right, So
(05:59):
if we don't eat know what's in here, usually what's
in here is locked tight away in the biggest vault
there is. And then to protect it, our minds come
into play. And then when our minds come into play,
it will say, no, we're not going there. We won't
(06:21):
even necessarily know why all of a sudden we have
an adversion to something, except for if you do, if
you're going on your spiritual journey, then you'll realize if
there's something that's really really disturbing you and you want
to get away from it as fast as possible, Typically
(06:45):
that means you need to explore that, because that is
something that's stuck within your body that needs to be healed. Okay,
So whether it was something when we were born, right,
maybe let's just throw this one out. I am a female,
(07:10):
born female, and you know, let's just say my parents
were disappointed that I was not a male because they
wanted to have a girl and a boy. Right, and
I have a sister, so I was supposed to be
supposed to be the boy. Right Now, Did they treat
(07:33):
me and such as such? No, But my dad did
treat me more like his boy because he wanted a
partner in crime. Right. He wanted someone to show his
his idiosyncreosies too, right, So he liked to tinker on cars,
(07:54):
he liked. He was an electronics teacher, so he knew
how to do a whole bunch of electronics. So being
the youngest, and I was totally fine with getting dirty
and getting my hands into stuff and it really didn't matter.
But you wouldn't couldn't tell that today with how I am,
(08:16):
except for I just have interesting knowledge about certain things
where people would be like, how do you know that? Well,
because I was supposed to be the boy, and so
I know all these things because my dad would always
include me. And that would also get me out of
(08:37):
our kitchen duties, right, kitchen duties and cleaning duties, because
at that time, girls would stay in the house and
they were supposed to have learned how to cook and
to clean and you know, completely support their spouse. Okay,
(08:57):
we're I know, we're in the twenty twenty fives. But again,
so if I were to look at that and if
that was something that really bothered me to my soul
that I was not accepted because I was a female,
that would come out so I would not be let's
(09:19):
just say, I would not be able to embrace my femininity.
I would not be able to feel comfortable in my
skin because I'm a female and I wasn't who my
parents wanted me to be and I'm not saying that,
you know, that was the goal. They wanted a girl
(09:39):
or a boy. But it wasn't a big deal to
them because I still did everything that my dad still
got what he wanted in a younger child to you know,
help him and like he could tell me his secrets
and it would be don't say anything to your mom.
(10:00):
All these different things, right, So I complied. He was
happy all as good now had I not been? And
I was like, no, I'm a really girly girl and
I wanted to be prissy and in a like a
ball gown and didn't like to get my hands dirty.
(10:20):
That might be a different story. And so now let's
just say fast forward. As an adult, if that was
hiding within my soul or in my heart, if someone
said to me or said, oh, that looks you know,
(10:41):
that looks kind of masculine, or you sound kind of
masculine today, that would be an instant trigger. And that
trigger could go all of a sudden. You could get
really angry and you could start defending, like, what do
you mean, I don't look like a man? All these
things right, So to get rid of this stuff, you
(11:06):
would take a deep breath and you would just acknowledge
it and say thank you. And you know, growing spiritually
is tough because there's going to be a whole bunch
of feels, a whole bunch of emotions that come up.
(11:26):
And as humans, we have this thing where we don't
like to necessarily show our emotions because it's a vulnerability thing.
This being vulnerable is not cool, not fun. We don't
necessarily love it because it quote unquote shows a weakness, right,
(11:52):
and when we're in that weakness, then others could come in. Now,
if we were in the Cayman days, would come in
for the kill, right. And so again we don't necessarily
like people to know our dirty laundry or our weaknesses
(12:12):
because it's one of those things where someone could get
under our skin and have a leg up on us. Okay,
So spiritually thinking to heal that again, we would it
would bubble up and we'd start getting angry. We would
(12:33):
think about it, you know it, our thoughts go crazy,
they're wild. What we would do is we would observe it.
We would say thank you and pretty much honor that
right by it. That's why we would say thank you.
And again, it's no longer us because that was, however,
(12:57):
long ago, even if it was five minutes minutes ago,
that's not us right here, right now, right. It's all
about staying fully present to this day. And if something
from the past, our past experiences, come and they try
and invite us, and they try and get us all
these feels and want to get us to interact with it,
(13:25):
we have to take a step back and go, thank you,
and let it go, and our thoughts not interact with
our thoughts, because when we interact with our thoughts, all
of a sudden, that rush, the whoosh of stress, the cortisol,
all these things, the stress and the hurt and the anger.
(13:51):
What it does to our bodies is incredible. It's one
of those those things where it's almost like a whole
bunch of toxicity has come into your body. Now, think
about having a bath in toxic junk. It wouldn't feel great, right,
(14:15):
But yet we have no problems engaging with our mind
and allowing that to fully penetrate us. It is literally
the same as having a bath in toxic waste. That's
how much it actually does to us. So when we
(14:37):
start to allow and breathe and not engage with our thoughts,
because our thoughts are there because it's trying to protect
us from getting hurt, even though it actually does the opposite.
It actually really really hurts us. What it is is
(15:00):
doing is is trying to control. It's trying to control
our universe, our universe around us. It's trying to control
it so that we have a sense of again control,
so we know what's going to happen. We can prepare
(15:20):
ourselves from being bombarded by thoughts or by an external
threat of some sort. All right, so think about that
when all these thoughts starts coming into play, about an
experience that has happened in the past. All right, Now,
(15:46):
on that note, we are going to take a quick
two minute break. We'll be back into California.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Welcome back. You're watching Journey with Joan only on the
Bold Brave TV network, where we dive into the depths
of spirituality, the self discovery, and the connections that shape
our lives. All right, and today's episode we are talking
about healing within. Does it exist? It sure does, It
(18:35):
really does, and one could say it is completely miraculous,
but that is how the human body is. Now. On
that note, remember I am not a medical doctor. I'm
not a mental health professional or anything like that. So
we are talking about healing and it's solely on the
(18:56):
spirituality of it and what we can do to change
within our bodies so that we can have those miraculous healings. Okay,
so before the break, I was talking about how things
from our past can actually interfere with our lives today
(19:17):
that keep us in a constant state of stress. Even
though we don't necessarily know it. We can actually feel like, oh, no,
you know, my life is really good. Well, it's really
great until someone says one thing that just sets you off,
and then all of a sudden boom, you can be
in a tizzy. You can be in like you could
(19:42):
mentally break down. Okay. So another example of that would
be is I have a client where they were physically
abused sex when they were younger, okay, and so push
(20:05):
kama shove. By the time I saw her, court was
done all those things. However, when we were looking and
we wanted she wanted to do some healing within her body,
the first thing I saw was was that incident. Now
(20:26):
she had not disclosed to me what happened, what transpired.
I had actually picked it up. Because that's the thing
about our bodies. Our bodies will tattle on ourselves. Okay.
So if you are wanting to heal and really dive
(20:46):
into your soul and your body so that you can
heal physically, your body will tattle on you if you
have not resolved an issue. Okay. So now with this client,
(21:08):
I had said, there was an incident that happened from
the time you were too until you were thirteen, and
I believe it, you know, it exploded at this time,
right And they looked at me in horror and in
shock and said, no, I actually have forgiven them and
(21:30):
it's done. And I'm like, well, unfortunately, the body doesn't lie,
and there's still remnants of it within your body. So
in order to deal with this, we need to heal it,
we need to allow it to go, we need to forgive.
(21:54):
That was the biggest thing for this person because they
had said, well, no, no, no, I had forgiven them all
this time. And the reason why you gave, you know,
you had an end date, was because that was the
year when they had to confront their parent in court, okay,
(22:16):
and so that was the traumatic time. So again there's
all these things, whether it was maybe they forgave them,
but there was also the traumatic time where in which
were they were put on the stands to confront their parent,
their parent that they loved, you know, and all these
(22:40):
shameful things. They pretty much had to relive it because
again it was in front of a jury and the
jury had to decide whether or not this person was
libel et cetera et cetera. Right, we all know how
traumatizing that can be, but it's even more traumatized into
(23:01):
a thirteen year old who is just starting to grow
within themselves and even come into the woman that she
was being because she was thirteen. Right, So she was
trying again, your body hormones, everything's changing, right, So with that,
(23:27):
with that healing, so she had some aches and pangs
within her body. She wasn't able to get rid of it.
She wasn't quite sure why it wasn't. And the biggest
tall tale for me was I had not known her.
She had just walked into the place I was working
(23:48):
at the time, and she had said, I would like
a healing. I need to get I need help this.
I'm working with my doctor and it doesn't seem to
feel like it's working. And I said, okay, well great,
I can work with you and your medical doctor so
that we can figure out what's going on. Right Again,
(24:11):
when someone comes to see me, I don't ask for
your history. I don't ask for what you could be
potentially hiding. Right, So again we did a session. It
came out I worked on her. So here is the
(24:31):
tall tale. She was ready to forgive, but she actually
couldn't let it go. Now, is she at fault for that? No,
it's it's when something traumatic has happened to you, and
it had been for you eleven years of your life,
(24:55):
and you were like young and innocent, and the person
that's supposed to be protecting you was the one that
actually hurt you. Now, these instances here now that it
takes a lot. And with that, we would have I
(25:15):
would have had to have worked with her mental health
professional to help her get through this as well, just
because again, like I said, I am not a mental
health practitioner, and so I don't have all the tools,
the tips and the tricks in my tool bag to
(25:37):
be able to help her get through that. However, I
was able to uncover it, to help her go and
talk to her mental health professional to say, hey, this
actually still is still lingering, and here it is. And
I can honestly say after a few sessions and her
(26:00):
talking to her mental health professional, it started to ease
up her ailments. Okay, so again with something as traumatic
as that, it's going to take a little bit. It's
not an overnight thing where you could just say Okay,
thank you and then let it go. Because you can like, yes,
(26:24):
you still have to do that, but it's not gonna
be overnight, just because again, that was eleven years of
her life and at some point of it was she
thought it was normal. Right, So there's all these different
(26:45):
play like things that come into play when it comes
to those things. Right now, was she able to heal
majority of it by the time she stopped seeing me,
She did, so a lot of it had gone. Now
I feel like it again, there was a little bit
(27:06):
of a trigger there for her. She originally took her
a little bit to talk to me again, just because
she went into a downoord spiral. And see, and that's
what I'm saying. When all these things come up that
we've hidden in our heart and we've locked it down,
(27:29):
and we try and protect ourselves and we say, yeah, no, yeah,
I've forgiven it. Yes, I'm dealt with it. And it
really is a lot of times it's it's a surface
level thing where we don't allow ourselves to feel it
so we can truly let go. But it's it's there
(27:50):
and we've seen it, and we've pretty much numbed ourselves
so that we once someone says something to the fact,
we go, yeah, no, it's it's kind of like, you know,
the nineties, talk to the hand because the body ain't listening,
or the facing listening, or the ears aren't listening. Something
like that, right, like talk to the hand, right, And
(28:14):
that's how we protect ourselves. Okay, So that's that. So
all these little things can come up, and we have
to be able to wanting to actually look at it
and feel it, even though as terrible as it can be,
(28:35):
we need to feel it. And when we feel it,
we can release it. Because we can release it. The
energy is pent up and we can release it by
letting go with tears or some people like to have
like a rage go to a rage room and they
(28:56):
can totally unleash because they need to get the energy
and it's fully capable and it's and it's safe. Right,
you can actually do a screaming ceremony outside. It's kind
of the same thing as like a rage room, where
(29:17):
you find a dead tree and you beat the crap
out of it and you scream, and at the same time,
you're allowing the energy to leave your body and you're grounding,
and again the earth absorbs all of that and takes
it away, and then we have the fresh air. And
(29:37):
again if there's wind again, the wind winds of change,
they blow, they can take away that energy and it
can feel great. And now again we need to allow,
we need to let go. And once we open up
to letting go and realizing that that isn't us from
(30:01):
the past, we are no longer them that that shame
even also no longer belongs to us because it's gone.
There's so many different things that we can we can do.
So the biggest thing I would like to tell people
is be self, like, let me see, sorry, I had
(30:25):
this written down, be you know, allow yourself because this
is emotional processing, right, we have to process it. And
sometimes processing it is maybe we sit down and we
have a tub of ice cream and we just go
to mow down all day and we have comfort food.
(30:47):
That's okay, right Again, it's the mind body connection, you know,
being more aware and being very gentle with yourself, allowing
yourself the space and the time to feel better. And
(31:10):
it doesn't even need to be better about that topic,
just to feel at peace and knowing that you fully
let it go. Right. There's so many different things where
you know, when we mentally have to process things, some
people they have to so mentally processing some things. Some
(31:33):
people actually have to go through it one by one.
Some people need to write down a list. Some people
need to go in that list go Okay, well, what
are all the emotions that are tied to that? What
did I do in the feu like after that time
(31:57):
that brought me back into that again? So then it's
all about figuring out all these different triggers, allowing ourselves
to be us and being sympathetic to us, being empathetic,
(32:18):
and allowing us the emotional time it takes to let go.
Now again, if you're having a tough time letting it go,
that I would also suggest here would also go to
(32:40):
your mental health professional because again they're gonna have different
tips and tricks to help you let that go. Because
if you're having a hard time detaching from it in
the spiritual world and the healing world of it is,
(33:01):
what are you getting out of it? You are getting
some sort of charge. You feel like you need it
because it somehow it identifies you, it like it gives
you some credence. Okay, I'm going to tell you it doesn't.
Though none of those define you. Nothing that's happened, your
(33:23):
experiences do not define who you are or what you'll become. Okay, now,
on that note, I'm going to give some more love
and be kind and gentle to yourself while we go
on the break and give some love to our sponsors.
We'll be back into.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Welcome back. You're watching Journey with Joan only on the
bolt Rave TV network, where we dive into the depths
of spirituality, self discovery, and the connections that shape our lives.
And today we are talking about healing within Okay, so
how do we heal within again? Before the break we
(36:27):
are talking about certain experiences that we may have experienced
in our past and we've kept them. Now in order
to heal, to let those come out, we have to
acknowledge them and we feel the feeling and then you
(36:47):
just let it go because it no longer is you,
It no longer is serving you. And really by holding
that within your body, that's adding again, like the stress hormone,
which is cortisol, it's adding inflammation. It's adding the mental
(37:13):
aspect of things where it starts to play in our
mind whether we are worthy or enough, all those different things. Now,
how do we actually help get rid of it? Now?
A lot of it is through mindfulness practice, right, so
(37:35):
that can be through meditation. Now a lot of people
have hard time with meditation. So what you would do
is you would sit still and you can take deep breaths,
and honestly, with your deep breaths, just count your deep breaths,
(37:59):
pay attention to your breath. So that's one. Now you
would count all the way to twenty five. Try not
to get past that because after a while then you
it's you're no longer present because you zone out and
(38:20):
where you lie now again, don't make it a ronness.
So if you've zoned out, that's okay. Again, it's not
about being perfect. There is no perfect. So take a
deep breath in and out. That's one, in and out.
That's too all these things. And try now if your
(38:41):
mind is fully busy and it's got a whole bunch
of stuff right, all of a sudden, it's like I'm
trying to meditate, but this won't shut up, right, thoughts
keep going. It's telling me what I need to do.
It's doing all this blah blah blah dah da da.
I'm gonna tell you that's a great step. The great
(39:02):
step is that you actually are observing and you know
that your thoughts are getting carried away. Great, So as
soon as you know it, take a deep breath and
then you go, thank you, and you let them go again.
It's one of those things. Now, if it's a thought
(39:24):
that it's like, I can't forget this. I need to
pick up, say, a loaf of bread and some ground
beef and some cheese for dinner. So I don't want
to forget. Stop, grab a piece of paper or grab
your phone right and put it in notes put what
(39:48):
you need to do in your notes, so then your
mind is at ease and you can go okay, now
I won't forget because I put it in notes. I've
actually put a alarm to make sure that I would remember. Okay.
So again there's there's that, there's getting off your phone
(40:09):
right to practice mindfulness, which is going for a walk, grounding,
getting outside, getting fresh air, allowing. Now, if you live
near an ocean, which you know I am a little
bit jelly about, right, you could go into the ocean
(40:32):
because the ocean is very cleansing. You can go to
the beach. You can kind of like melt like you know,
push push your feet into the sand and ground that way,
and then as soon as the water comes up, right,
just imagine the water like the tide coming up to
(40:56):
you around your ankles and stuff, and you can take
a deep breath and let it go. And then as
the water leaves you. It's also taking away some stress,
some of the hurt, some of the anger. Start to
feel that beauty. Look, go watch the sunrise, watch the sunset,
(41:25):
and be grateful for everything that's around you in the day.
They're so like that is key when you're healing. From within,
being outside, showing gratitude, being grateful for whatever. It doesn't
(41:45):
matter even for the guy driving in front of you
that's driving ten miles under the speed limit. And most
times we're like, what why are you doing this? Right? Again,
it's it's it doesn't really affect us. You know, it
(42:06):
can affect us because again, we're going to be a
little bit late. If we didn't give ourselves enough time
to get there, right, If we've given us ourselves only
a certain amount to get there and we get stuck
behind someone, then we're adding more stress. And again, does
(42:26):
that stress do you any good? It doesn't. It just
just adds. Like so me, I live in the country,
I have to make sure I get give myself enough
time because now it's nicer outside, there's going to be
cattle drives, and I don't know when they're going to
(42:47):
be because they're never they don't. You know, there's nothing
on social media or nothing posted on the streets that say, hey, tomorrow,
at certain time, we're doing the cattle drive. Right, and
so you're literally stuck and all you can do is
(43:07):
be grateful and watch, you know, all the cowboys, cowgirls
and all the different ranch hands and the cattle dog
do its job and get all the cattle from one
field onto the road and make sure they stay on
(43:29):
the road so that they travel together and go into
another field that's I don't know, five city blocks away
something like that, right, And what does that do for me?
While I just get to sit there and watch because
it takes about half an hour forty five minutes maybe
(43:51):
an hour for them to get all this stuff done.
And so if that's what happens, that's what happens, and
it's okay, Well, maybe I needed to be late day.
The bonus thing is we all have phones, so we
can tell people that we are going to be late.
Maybe there was something on the road that could have
(44:17):
you know, hurt us, or someone was evading the police
and was doing you know, they were doing a chase something. Right.
We don't know, We don't know why that happens, and
when it does, we just have to accept it and
(44:37):
go great, thank you, thank you for this extra calmness, right,
and allow it. So with our meditation as well, even
when you're walking, you could just say I am, I am,
(44:58):
I am and just focus on those words and then allow. Right.
But really, when we do that we're opening ourselves to
the unlimited possibilities of what our body can do. Because
our body can shift and change. When it's no longer
(45:22):
got all this stress and this heightened and being in
this fight or flight all the time, it changes. Right,
even when we do a meditation, if you will, if
you are really not well, if you have an illness, right, like,
(45:45):
that's not good. I'm not gonna say it because I
don't like to put it in the space. You can
imagine yourself within your body. Imagine your blood going through
your body, right Like if we plug it our ears,
(46:07):
sometimes you can hear the you can feel and you
can hear the woosh and the movement of your blood.
Right most times, if you wear a lot like ear plugs,
you can hear your heart beating and how it beats.
And as you're doing that, that's a form of meditation.
(46:31):
You can envision that body part being cleansed, being like,
give what's love to it and allowing whatever it needs
to clear how it clears. Because our body changes every
three months. All our cells are totally different within three months.
(46:51):
That's the science thing. Right now, people go, well, how
is that possible? I have scars that can't be well,
that's because that's cellular memory. And when we have cellular
memory and our thoughts and our feelings feel like no,
(47:11):
that's we define it right like there's a I don't
have my scar anymore, but it's kind of like you know,
like then it stays, but I but your cells change
every three months. We are new US, So why isn't
(47:35):
there a possibility of a new US that doesn't have
that disease? There's no reason for our bodies to accept
it and to keep it right now again, it's part
of that knowing that you are worthy and you can
(47:57):
do this. You can and lock like you can unlock
some of your DNA, like or even think about unlocking
and visually seeing it, unlocking the DNA and the stem
cells to help heal yourself and recover and recoup. Now again,
(48:22):
it's it's about being honest with yourself and being honest
about letting things go and knowing and feeling that you
can do this, not even you, because it's really not you.
It's your body. Your body can do with that, your
(48:44):
body can do anything. Okay, Okay, And on that note,
we're gonna give some ore love to our sponsors. Will
be back into.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
Welcome back. You're watching Journey with Joan only on the
Bold Brave TV Network, where we dive into the depths
of spirituality, self discovery, and the connections that shape our lives.
And today's episode, we are talking about healing within. Before
the break, I was talking about that our bodies could
(52:07):
do everything and anything. Now if you really think about that,
and there are miraculous things that people have witnessed and
seen where you know, someone got run over and I
believe it was a mom or someone lifted up the
car so that they could pull or that person trapped
(52:32):
underneath the car could get out. Now that's miraculous, right,
And you're like, well, how did they do that? Well, yes,
adrenaline comes into play, but it's also that inner knowing
to know that you can do whatever you want. Like
your body is this amazing vessel that replicates itself every
(52:56):
three months. It's a brand new sells body everything every
three months. It's only us that determines whether or not
we still have our exeema or we have our our
threat is and all these different things. Right now, Again,
(53:16):
this is one of those things where it's cellular memory,
and so of course it's going to take some of
that stuff. But when we heal from within and we
learn to let things go and know that we are
not our bodies, and we go, yeah, okay, I do
not accept this, do not accept that disease to be
(53:42):
part of this body. But you have to do the work.
So it's not just not accepting that diagnosis. It's it's
not just accept not accepting that the reality around us.
(54:03):
It's about diving into ourselves, finding out what all the
toxic things that we've kept and releasing them, releasing them,
giving them back to the universe because they no longer
serve us, and giving ourselves some love, some empathy, and going, yeah,
(54:30):
that happens, but that's okay, that's no longer immediate, no
longer serves me. That was, however, many years ago, and
it's gone now. We can say that, But sometimes it's
the shame and the guilt and the why did I
allow this to happen to me that gets stuck. Now
(54:55):
it's going, I don't know why I let that happen,
but it did. And then we look at it and
we go thank you and be grateful for that experience.
Even though it was lucky and it could have been tough.
We can be grateful for it because it's no longer there.
(55:15):
We don't have to keep experiencing it because it's gone,
So why do we need to relive it? Whenever someone
says something that triggers it and says, oh, yeah, so
and so was a moron, and then you remember, oh
(55:35):
my goodness, Why are all my relationships shitty? Why do
I always pick the same people? Well, again, that's part
of our mind, so like trying to protect us instead
of letting it go. So what do we get? What
(55:58):
do we get out of feeling that shame, the horror,
the the luckiness from those past experiences. Some could say
that we get a high off of it. It makes
us feel like we're still alive. Or it's that dopamine
(56:24):
hit because that was the excitement of the time. You
don't know what, Go get some ice cream like that,
or go find something that gives you the same, that
makes you feel the same, and allow that to go.
Because I don't know about you, but the dopamine hit
(56:51):
of feeling like I'm garbage and that I'm no longer
worthy of stuff really is gross and it doesn't actually
make me feel alive. So I would rather let that
go and go okay, thank you. And if I need
(57:14):
a dopamine head of some sort, I might go to
the gym. I might hang out with someone that I
know that would give me a compliment, because that's what
some of my best friends do all the time. Do
you see what I mean? Like you can you can
get it other ways. It doesn't necessarily need to be
(57:35):
from your past because those pasts again don't define who
you are now. I actually had one person say to me,
how is that possible? Because I wouldn't be the person
I am today because of what happened in the past.
(57:57):
So basically, my past has given me that much anger
to get me to where I am today. So I
am super successful and I'm in I'm happy, and I
looked at them and I said, well, are you truly happy?
And They're like, yeah, yeah I am. And I'm like, okay, Well,
(58:17):
but you're seeing me, you're asking me to help you
be more at peace. So when I hear you say
that to me, you're saying that the road to the
top is lonely and that it wasn't as vengeful or
(58:42):
what's it called. It doesn't necessarily feel as good being
there because it still feels empty. So again, yeah, you
might have used that to help you project yourself, like
trajector yourself to the where you are today, but it
doesn't necessarily mean that it makes you fulfilled and makes
(59:05):
you feel amazing. So remember, yeah, you can use some
of that to light a fire under your bot. But
again it doesn't define you, and it doesn't necessarily help
you be here because what did you do along the way?
Did you stomp on people along the way that triggered
(59:29):
you for all these things? No? Or maybe yes. I
implore you to look at that, let things go, and
allow and breathe. And we could talk about this forever
and keep talking about it, but unfortunately we are out
(59:50):
of time. You are watching Journey with Joan Only on

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Good evening and welcome to Journey Joan, only on the
Bold Brave TV network, where we dive into the depths
of spirituality, self discovery, and the connections that shape our lives.
In today's episode, we are talking about healing from within,
tapping into our inner power. Now what does that really mean?
(01:22):
Well again, so first off, disclaimer again, I am not
a medical doctor. I am not a medical health professional
like mental health professional as well I am. This is
strictly talking about spiritual spirituality and spiritually thinking and these
(01:43):
also are what I have experienced in my career. Okay,
all right, So healing from within does it really work?
It actually does. I have witnessed it firsthand. It may
seem really hokey, but really, when we start to heal
(02:05):
ourselves from within. We start healing the hurt, the trauma,
the everything that everyone told us that we aren't or
that we can't be, or what else. You know. I
think you get the gist there, right, So whatever anyone's
(02:29):
told you, and it's stuck within your heart and it
causes you pain and discomfort essentially, and it also causes
the you know, causes us to have outbursts. Those experiences
(02:52):
from the past can define what's going on in the future. Now,
spiritually thinking as well, is that we could actually turn
on DNA, right, So just as again this is spiritual thinking,
(03:15):
and they there is some science to it, but again
I don't know what the journals are for that science.
I'm sure if you looked it up you could find it.
But basically, we all have DNA and we can turn
(03:36):
things on and we can turn things off. If we
choose to turn on, say a bad gene that can
cause us diseases, we can also turn it off in
that same token. So whether we believe that our DNA
(04:00):
is our DNA and that's it, there's no changing it
or adjusting it, well, then that's that's ours. Because again,
a lot of everything that we do is based on
our will and our thoughts. Right, so today is good Friday,
(04:24):
So good Friday to everyone, to everyone. If we really
think about it in that sense, if you want to
look through Bible sense, everything that goes out it is
it usually ends with thy will be done. Right, So
(04:47):
if we're thinking about that thy will, that's our will
be done. So it really says a lot right there, right.
It also at like in the Bible everywhere it says
ask and ye shall receive. But then in the you know,
(05:07):
next line or whatever, thy will be done. So if
we don't believe that we are enough or worthy of something,
that means our will be our will will be done,
which would mean that we don't get it because we
don't feel we are enough or worthy of receiving that. Okay,
(05:35):
so now let's break it down. Let's break it down
to healing. How do we heal this? First off, some
of us don't even know what kind of junk we
have within our energy body, within our heart. Right, So
(05:59):
if we don't eat know what's in here, usually what's
in here is locked tight away in the biggest vault
there is. And then to protect it, our minds come
into play. And then when our minds come into play,
it will say, no, we're not going there. We won't
(06:21):
even necessarily know why all of a sudden we have
an adversion to something, except for if you do, if
you're going on your spiritual journey, then you'll realize if
there's something that's really really disturbing you and you want
to get away from it as fast as possible, Typically
(06:45):
that means you need to explore that, because that is
something that's stuck within your body that needs to be healed. Okay,
So whether it was something when we were born, right,
maybe let's just throw this one out. I am a female,
(07:10):
born female, and you know, let's just say my parents
were disappointed that I was not a male because they
wanted to have a girl and a boy. Right, and
I have a sister, so I was supposed to be
supposed to be the boy. Right Now, Did they treat
(07:33):
me and such as such? No, But my dad did
treat me more like his boy because he wanted a
partner in crime. Right. He wanted someone to show his
his idiosyncreosies too, right, So he liked to tinker on cars,
(07:54):
he liked. He was an electronics teacher, so he knew
how to do a whole bunch of electronics. So being
the youngest, and I was totally fine with getting dirty
and getting my hands into stuff and it really didn't matter.
But you wouldn't couldn't tell that today with how I am,
(08:16):
except for I just have interesting knowledge about certain things
where people would be like, how do you know that? Well,
because I was supposed to be the boy, and so
I know all these things because my dad would always
include me. And that would also get me out of
(08:37):
our kitchen duties, right, kitchen duties and cleaning duties, because
at that time, girls would stay in the house and
they were supposed to have learned how to cook and
to clean and you know, completely support their spouse. Okay,
(08:57):
we're I know, we're in the twenty twenty fives. But again,
so if I were to look at that and if
that was something that really bothered me to my soul
that I was not accepted because I was a female,
that would come out so I would not be let's
(09:19):
just say, I would not be able to embrace my femininity.
I would not be able to feel comfortable in my
skin because I'm a female and I wasn't who my
parents wanted me to be and I'm not saying that,
you know, that was the goal. They wanted a girl
(09:39):
or a boy. But it wasn't a big deal to
them because I still did everything that my dad still
got what he wanted in a younger child to you know,
help him and like he could tell me his secrets
and it would be don't say anything to your mom.
(10:00):
All these different things, right, So I complied. He was
happy all as good now had I not been? And
I was like, no, I'm a really girly girl and
I wanted to be prissy and in a like a
ball gown and didn't like to get my hands dirty.
(10:20):
That might be a different story. And so now let's
just say fast forward. As an adult, if that was
hiding within my soul or in my heart, if someone
said to me or said, oh, that looks you know,
(10:41):
that looks kind of masculine, or you sound kind of
masculine today, that would be an instant trigger. And that
trigger could go all of a sudden. You could get
really angry and you could start defending, like, what do
you mean, I don't look like a man? All these
things right, So to get rid of this stuff, you
(11:06):
would take a deep breath and you would just acknowledge
it and say thank you. And you know, growing spiritually
is tough because there's going to be a whole bunch
of feels, a whole bunch of emotions that come up.
(11:26):
And as humans, we have this thing where we don't
like to necessarily show our emotions because it's a vulnerability thing.
This being vulnerable is not cool, not fun. We don't
necessarily love it because it quote unquote shows a weakness, right,
(11:52):
and when we're in that weakness, then others could come in. Now,
if we were in the Cayman days, would come in
for the kill, right. And so again we don't necessarily
like people to know our dirty laundry or our weaknesses
(12:12):
because it's one of those things where someone could get
under our skin and have a leg up on us. Okay,
So spiritually thinking to heal that again, we would it
would bubble up and we'd start getting angry. We would
(12:33):
think about it, you know it, our thoughts go crazy,
they're wild. What we would do is we would observe it.
We would say thank you and pretty much honor that
right by it. That's why we would say thank you.
And again, it's no longer us because that was, however,
(12:57):
long ago, even if it was five minutes minutes ago,
that's not us right here, right now, right. It's all
about staying fully present to this day. And if something
from the past, our past experiences, come and they try
and invite us, and they try and get us all
these feels and want to get us to interact with it,
(13:25):
we have to take a step back and go, thank you,
and let it go, and our thoughts not interact with
our thoughts, because when we interact with our thoughts, all
of a sudden, that rush, the whoosh of stress, the cortisol,
all these things, the stress and the hurt and the anger.
(13:51):
What it does to our bodies is incredible. It's one
of those those things where it's almost like a whole
bunch of toxicity has come into your body. Now, think
about having a bath in toxic junk. It wouldn't feel great, right,
(14:15):
But yet we have no problems engaging with our mind
and allowing that to fully penetrate us. It is literally
the same as having a bath in toxic waste. That's
how much it actually does to us. So when we
(14:37):
start to allow and breathe and not engage with our thoughts,
because our thoughts are there because it's trying to protect
us from getting hurt, even though it actually does the opposite.
It actually really really hurts us. What it is is
(15:00):
doing is is trying to control. It's trying to control
our universe, our universe around us. It's trying to control
it so that we have a sense of again control,
so we know what's going to happen. We can prepare
(15:20):
ourselves from being bombarded by thoughts or by an external
threat of some sort. All right, so think about that
when all these thoughts starts coming into play, about an
experience that has happened in the past. All right, Now,
(15:46):
on that note, we are going to take a quick
two minute break. We'll be back into California.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Welcome back. You're watching Journey with Joan only on the
Bold Brave TV network, where we dive into the depths
of spirituality, the self discovery, and the connections that shape
our lives. All right, and today's episode we are talking
about healing within. Does it exist? It sure does, It
(18:35):
really does, and one could say it is completely miraculous,
but that is how the human body is. Now. On
that note, remember I am not a medical doctor. I'm
not a mental health professional or anything like that. So
we are talking about healing and it's solely on the
(18:56):
spirituality of it and what we can do to change
within our bodies so that we can have those miraculous healings. Okay,
so before the break, I was talking about how things
from our past can actually interfere with our lives today
(19:17):
that keep us in a constant state of stress. Even
though we don't necessarily know it. We can actually feel like, oh, no,
you know, my life is really good. Well, it's really
great until someone says one thing that just sets you off,
and then all of a sudden boom, you can be
in a tizzy. You can be in like you could
(19:42):
mentally break down. Okay. So another example of that would
be is I have a client where they were physically
abused sex when they were younger, okay, and so push
(20:05):
kama shove. By the time I saw her, court was
done all those things. However, when we were looking and
we wanted she wanted to do some healing within her body,
the first thing I saw was was that incident. Now
(20:26):
she had not disclosed to me what happened, what transpired.
I had actually picked it up. Because that's the thing
about our bodies. Our bodies will tattle on ourselves. Okay.
So if you are wanting to heal and really dive
(20:46):
into your soul and your body so that you can
heal physically, your body will tattle on you if you
have not resolved an issue. Okay. So now with this client,
(21:08):
I had said, there was an incident that happened from
the time you were too until you were thirteen, and
I believe it, you know, it exploded at this time,
right And they looked at me in horror and in
shock and said, no, I actually have forgiven them and
(21:30):
it's done. And I'm like, well, unfortunately, the body doesn't lie,
and there's still remnants of it within your body. So
in order to deal with this, we need to heal it,
we need to allow it to go, we need to forgive.
(21:54):
That was the biggest thing for this person because they
had said, well, no, no, no, I had forgiven them all
this time. And the reason why you gave, you know,
you had an end date, was because that was the
year when they had to confront their parent in court, okay,
(22:16):
and so that was the traumatic time. So again there's
all these things, whether it was maybe they forgave them,
but there was also the traumatic time where in which
were they were put on the stands to confront their parent,
their parent that they loved, you know, and all these
(22:40):
shameful things. They pretty much had to relive it because
again it was in front of a jury and the
jury had to decide whether or not this person was
libel et cetera et cetera. Right, we all know how
traumatizing that can be, but it's even more traumatized into
(23:01):
a thirteen year old who is just starting to grow
within themselves and even come into the woman that she
was being because she was thirteen. Right, So she was
trying again, your body hormones, everything's changing, right, So with that,
(23:27):
with that healing, so she had some aches and pangs
within her body. She wasn't able to get rid of it.
She wasn't quite sure why it wasn't. And the biggest
tall tale for me was I had not known her.
She had just walked into the place I was working
(23:48):
at the time, and she had said, I would like
a healing. I need to get I need help this.
I'm working with my doctor and it doesn't seem to
feel like it's working. And I said, okay, well great,
I can work with you and your medical doctor so
that we can figure out what's going on. Right Again,
(24:11):
when someone comes to see me, I don't ask for
your history. I don't ask for what you could be
potentially hiding. Right, So again we did a session. It
came out I worked on her. So here is the
(24:31):
tall tale. She was ready to forgive, but she actually
couldn't let it go. Now, is she at fault for that? No,
it's it's when something traumatic has happened to you, and
it had been for you eleven years of your life,
(24:55):
and you were like young and innocent, and the person
that's supposed to be protecting you was the one that
actually hurt you. Now, these instances here now that it
takes a lot. And with that, we would have I
(25:15):
would have had to have worked with her mental health
professional to help her get through this as well, just
because again, like I said, I am not a mental
health practitioner, and so I don't have all the tools,
the tips and the tricks in my tool bag to
(25:37):
be able to help her get through that. However, I
was able to uncover it, to help her go and
talk to her mental health professional to say, hey, this
actually still is still lingering, and here it is. And
I can honestly say after a few sessions and her
(26:00):
talking to her mental health professional, it started to ease
up her ailments. Okay, so again with something as traumatic
as that, it's going to take a little bit. It's
not an overnight thing where you could just say Okay,
thank you and then let it go. Because you can like, yes,
(26:24):
you still have to do that, but it's not gonna
be overnight, just because again, that was eleven years of
her life and at some point of it was she
thought it was normal. Right, So there's all these different
(26:45):
play like things that come into play when it comes
to those things. Right now, was she able to heal
majority of it by the time she stopped seeing me,
She did, so a lot of it had gone. Now
I feel like it again, there was a little bit
(27:06):
of a trigger there for her. She originally took her
a little bit to talk to me again, just because
she went into a downoord spiral. And see, and that's
what I'm saying. When all these things come up that
we've hidden in our heart and we've locked it down,
(27:29):
and we try and protect ourselves and we say, yeah, no, yeah,
I've forgiven it. Yes, I'm dealt with it. And it
really is a lot of times it's it's a surface
level thing where we don't allow ourselves to feel it
so we can truly let go. But it's it's there
(27:50):
and we've seen it, and we've pretty much numbed ourselves
so that we once someone says something to the fact,
we go, yeah, no, it's it's kind of like, you know,
the nineties, talk to the hand because the body ain't listening,
or the facing listening, or the ears aren't listening. Something
like that, right, like talk to the hand, right, And
(28:14):
that's how we protect ourselves. Okay, So that's that. So
all these little things can come up, and we have
to be able to wanting to actually look at it
and feel it, even though as terrible as it can be,
(28:35):
we need to feel it. And when we feel it,
we can release it. Because we can release it. The
energy is pent up and we can release it by
letting go with tears or some people like to have
like a rage go to a rage room and they
(28:56):
can totally unleash because they need to get the energy
and it's fully capable and it's and it's safe. Right,
you can actually do a screaming ceremony outside. It's kind
of the same thing as like a rage room, where
(29:17):
you find a dead tree and you beat the crap
out of it and you scream, and at the same time,
you're allowing the energy to leave your body and you're grounding,
and again the earth absorbs all of that and takes
it away, and then we have the fresh air. And
(29:37):
again if there's wind again, the wind winds of change,
they blow, they can take away that energy and it
can feel great. And now again we need to allow,
we need to let go. And once we open up
to letting go and realizing that that isn't us from
(30:01):
the past, we are no longer them that that shame
even also no longer belongs to us because it's gone.
There's so many different things that we can we can do.
So the biggest thing I would like to tell people
is be self, like, let me see, sorry, I had
(30:25):
this written down, be you know, allow yourself because this
is emotional processing, right, we have to process it. And
sometimes processing it is maybe we sit down and we
have a tub of ice cream and we just go
to mow down all day and we have comfort food.
(30:47):
That's okay, right Again, it's the mind body connection, you know,
being more aware and being very gentle with yourself, allowing
yourself the space and the time to feel better. And
(31:10):
it doesn't even need to be better about that topic,
just to feel at peace and knowing that you fully
let it go. Right. There's so many different things where
you know, when we mentally have to process things, some
people they have to so mentally processing some things. Some
(31:33):
people actually have to go through it one by one.
Some people need to write down a list. Some people
need to go in that list go Okay, well, what
are all the emotions that are tied to that? What
did I do in the feu like after that time
(31:57):
that brought me back into that again? So then it's
all about figuring out all these different triggers, allowing ourselves
to be us and being sympathetic to us, being empathetic,
(32:18):
and allowing us the emotional time it takes to let go.
Now again, if you're having a tough time letting it go,
that I would also suggest here would also go to
(32:40):
your mental health professional because again they're gonna have different
tips and tricks to help you let that go. Because
if you're having a hard time detaching from it in
the spiritual world and the healing world of it is,
(33:01):
what are you getting out of it? You are getting
some sort of charge. You feel like you need it
because it somehow it identifies you, it like it gives
you some credence. Okay, I'm going to tell you it doesn't.
Though none of those define you. Nothing that's happened, your
(33:23):
experiences do not define who you are or what you'll become. Okay, now,
on that note, I'm going to give some more love
and be kind and gentle to yourself while we go
on the break and give some love to our sponsors.
We'll be back into.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Welcome back. You're watching Journey with Joan only on the
bolt Rave TV network, where we dive into the depths
of spirituality, self discovery, and the connections that shape our lives.
And today we are talking about healing within Okay, so
how do we heal within again? Before the break we
(36:27):
are talking about certain experiences that we may have experienced
in our past and we've kept them. Now in order
to heal, to let those come out, we have to
acknowledge them and we feel the feeling and then you
(36:47):
just let it go because it no longer is you,
It no longer is serving you. And really by holding
that within your body, that's adding again, like the stress hormone,
which is cortisol, it's adding inflammation. It's adding the mental
(37:13):
aspect of things where it starts to play in our
mind whether we are worthy or enough, all those different things. Now,
how do we actually help get rid of it? Now?
A lot of it is through mindfulness practice, right, so
(37:35):
that can be through meditation. Now a lot of people
have hard time with meditation. So what you would do
is you would sit still and you can take deep breaths,
and honestly, with your deep breaths, just count your deep breaths,
(37:59):
pay attention to your breath. So that's one. Now you
would count all the way to twenty five. Try not
to get past that because after a while then you
it's you're no longer present because you zone out and
(38:20):
where you lie now again, don't make it a ronness.
So if you've zoned out, that's okay. Again, it's not
about being perfect. There is no perfect. So take a
deep breath in and out. That's one, in and out.
That's too all these things. And try now if your
(38:41):
mind is fully busy and it's got a whole bunch
of stuff right, all of a sudden, it's like I'm
trying to meditate, but this won't shut up, right, thoughts
keep going. It's telling me what I need to do.
It's doing all this blah blah blah dah da da.
I'm gonna tell you that's a great step. The great
(39:02):
step is that you actually are observing and you know
that your thoughts are getting carried away. Great, So as
soon as you know it, take a deep breath and
then you go, thank you, and you let them go again.
It's one of those things. Now, if it's a thought
(39:24):
that it's like, I can't forget this. I need to
pick up, say, a loaf of bread and some ground
beef and some cheese for dinner. So I don't want
to forget. Stop, grab a piece of paper or grab
your phone right and put it in notes put what
(39:48):
you need to do in your notes, so then your
mind is at ease and you can go okay, now
I won't forget because I put it in notes. I've
actually put a alarm to make sure that I would remember. Okay.
So again there's there's that, there's getting off your phone
(40:09):
right to practice mindfulness, which is going for a walk, grounding,
getting outside, getting fresh air, allowing. Now, if you live
near an ocean, which you know I am a little
bit jelly about, right, you could go into the ocean
(40:32):
because the ocean is very cleansing. You can go to
the beach. You can kind of like melt like you know,
push push your feet into the sand and ground that way,
and then as soon as the water comes up, right,
just imagine the water like the tide coming up to
(40:56):
you around your ankles and stuff, and you can take
a deep breath and let it go. And then as
the water leaves you. It's also taking away some stress,
some of the hurt, some of the anger. Start to
feel that beauty. Look, go watch the sunrise, watch the sunset,
(41:25):
and be grateful for everything that's around you in the day.
They're so like that is key when you're healing. From within,
being outside, showing gratitude, being grateful for whatever. It doesn't
(41:45):
matter even for the guy driving in front of you
that's driving ten miles under the speed limit. And most
times we're like, what why are you doing this? Right? Again,
it's it's it doesn't really affect us. You know, it
(42:06):
can affect us because again, we're going to be a
little bit late. If we didn't give ourselves enough time
to get there, right, If we've given us ourselves only
a certain amount to get there and we get stuck
behind someone, then we're adding more stress. And again, does
(42:26):
that stress do you any good? It doesn't. It just
just adds. Like so me, I live in the country,
I have to make sure I get give myself enough
time because now it's nicer outside, there's going to be
cattle drives, and I don't know when they're going to
(42:47):
be because they're never they don't. You know, there's nothing
on social media or nothing posted on the streets that say, hey, tomorrow,
at certain time, we're doing the cattle drive. Right, and
so you're literally stuck and all you can do is
(43:07):
be grateful and watch, you know, all the cowboys, cowgirls
and all the different ranch hands and the cattle dog
do its job and get all the cattle from one
field onto the road and make sure they stay on
(43:29):
the road so that they travel together and go into
another field that's I don't know, five city blocks away
something like that, right, And what does that do for me?
While I just get to sit there and watch because
it takes about half an hour forty five minutes maybe
(43:51):
an hour for them to get all this stuff done.
And so if that's what happens, that's what happens, and
it's okay, Well, maybe I needed to be late day.
The bonus thing is we all have phones, so we
can tell people that we are going to be late.
Maybe there was something on the road that could have
(44:17):
you know, hurt us, or someone was evading the police
and was doing you know, they were doing a chase something. Right.
We don't know, We don't know why that happens, and
when it does, we just have to accept it and
(44:37):
go great, thank you, thank you for this extra calmness, right,
and allow it. So with our meditation as well, even
when you're walking, you could just say I am, I am,
(44:58):
I am and just focus on those words and then allow. Right.
But really, when we do that we're opening ourselves to
the unlimited possibilities of what our body can do. Because
our body can shift and change. When it's no longer
(45:22):
got all this stress and this heightened and being in
this fight or flight all the time, it changes. Right,
even when we do a meditation, if you will, if
you are really not well, if you have an illness, right, like,
(45:45):
that's not good. I'm not gonna say it because I
don't like to put it in the space. You can
imagine yourself within your body. Imagine your blood going through
your body, right Like if we plug it our ears,
(46:07):
sometimes you can hear the you can feel and you
can hear the woosh and the movement of your blood.
Right most times, if you wear a lot like ear plugs,
you can hear your heart beating and how it beats.
And as you're doing that, that's a form of meditation.
(46:31):
You can envision that body part being cleansed, being like,
give what's love to it and allowing whatever it needs
to clear how it clears. Because our body changes every
three months. All our cells are totally different within three months.
(46:51):
That's the science thing. Right now, people go, well, how
is that possible? I have scars that can't be well,
that's because that's cellular memory. And when we have cellular
memory and our thoughts and our feelings feel like no,
(47:11):
that's we define it right like there's a I don't
have my scar anymore, but it's kind of like you know,
like then it stays, but I but your cells change
every three months. We are new US, So why isn't
(47:35):
there a possibility of a new US that doesn't have
that disease? There's no reason for our bodies to accept
it and to keep it right now again, it's part
of that knowing that you are worthy and you can
(47:57):
do this. You can and lock like you can unlock
some of your DNA, like or even think about unlocking
and visually seeing it, unlocking the DNA and the stem
cells to help heal yourself and recover and recoup. Now again,
(48:22):
it's it's about being honest with yourself and being honest
about letting things go and knowing and feeling that you
can do this, not even you, because it's really not you.
It's your body. Your body can do with that, your
(48:44):
body can do anything. Okay, Okay, And on that note,
we're gonna give some ore love to our sponsors. Will
be back into.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
Welcome back. You're watching Journey with Joan only on the
Bold Brave TV Network, where we dive into the depths
of spirituality, self discovery, and the connections that shape our lives.
And today's episode, we are talking about healing within. Before
the break, I was talking about that our bodies could
(52:07):
do everything and anything. Now if you really think about that,
and there are miraculous things that people have witnessed and
seen where you know, someone got run over and I
believe it was a mom or someone lifted up the
car so that they could pull or that person trapped
(52:32):
underneath the car could get out. Now that's miraculous, right,
And you're like, well, how did they do that? Well, yes,
adrenaline comes into play, but it's also that inner knowing
to know that you can do whatever you want. Like
your body is this amazing vessel that replicates itself every
(52:56):
three months. It's a brand new sells body everything every
three months. It's only us that determines whether or not
we still have our exeema or we have our our
threat is and all these different things. Right now, Again,
(53:16):
this is one of those things where it's cellular memory,
and so of course it's going to take some of
that stuff. But when we heal from within and we
learn to let things go and know that we are
not our bodies, and we go, yeah, okay, I do
not accept this, do not accept that disease to be
(53:42):
part of this body. But you have to do the work.
So it's not just not accepting that diagnosis. It's it's
not just accept not accepting that the reality around us.
(54:03):
It's about diving into ourselves, finding out what all the
toxic things that we've kept and releasing them, releasing them,
giving them back to the universe because they no longer
serve us, and giving ourselves some love, some empathy, and going, yeah,
(54:30):
that happens, but that's okay, that's no longer immediate, no
longer serves me. That was, however, many years ago, and
it's gone now. We can say that, But sometimes it's
the shame and the guilt and the why did I
allow this to happen to me that gets stuck. Now
(54:55):
it's going, I don't know why I let that happen,
but it did. And then we look at it and
we go thank you and be grateful for that experience.
Even though it was lucky and it could have been tough.
We can be grateful for it because it's no longer there.
(55:15):
We don't have to keep experiencing it because it's gone,
So why do we need to relive it? Whenever someone
says something that triggers it and says, oh, yeah, so
and so was a moron, and then you remember, oh
(55:35):
my goodness, Why are all my relationships shitty? Why do
I always pick the same people? Well, again, that's part
of our mind, so like trying to protect us instead
of letting it go. So what do we get? What
(55:58):
do we get out of feeling that shame, the horror,
the the luckiness from those past experiences. Some could say
that we get a high off of it. It makes
us feel like we're still alive. Or it's that dopamine
(56:24):
hit because that was the excitement of the time. You
don't know what, Go get some ice cream like that,
or go find something that gives you the same, that
makes you feel the same, and allow that to go.
Because I don't know about you, but the dopamine hit
(56:51):
of feeling like I'm garbage and that I'm no longer
worthy of stuff really is gross and it doesn't actually
make me feel alive. So I would rather let that
go and go okay, thank you. And if I need
(57:14):
a dopamine head of some sort, I might go to
the gym. I might hang out with someone that I
know that would give me a compliment, because that's what
some of my best friends do all the time. Do
you see what I mean? Like you can you can
get it other ways. It doesn't necessarily need to be
(57:35):
from your past because those pasts again don't define who
you are now. I actually had one person say to me,
how is that possible? Because I wouldn't be the person
I am today because of what happened in the past.
(57:57):
So basically, my past has given me that much anger
to get me to where I am today. So I
am super successful and I'm in I'm happy, and I
looked at them and I said, well, are you truly happy?
And They're like, yeah, yeah I am. And I'm like, okay, Well,
(58:17):
but you're seeing me, you're asking me to help you
be more at peace. So when I hear you say
that to me, you're saying that the road to the
top is lonely and that it wasn't as vengeful or
(58:42):
what's it called. It doesn't necessarily feel as good being
there because it still feels empty. So again, yeah, you
might have used that to help you project yourself, like
trajector yourself to the where you are today, but it
doesn't necessarily mean that it makes you fulfilled and makes
(59:05):
you feel amazing. So remember, yeah, you can use some
of that to light a fire under your bot. But
again it doesn't define you, and it doesn't necessarily help
you be here because what did you do along the way?
Did you stomp on people along the way that triggered
(59:29):
you for all these things? No? Or maybe yes. I
implore you to look at that, let things go, and
allow and breathe. And we could talk about this forever
and keep talking about it, but unfortunately we are out
