Speaker 2 (00:17):
Welcome back to Iry Focus, ready to once again me
are here today and today we have a special guest today,
a true trailblazer in the world of healing. Her name
is in A Segal. She is a best selling author
of the Secret Language of Your Body at Global Phenomenon
Translate into twenty six different languages. She is something that
(00:39):
you really are going to learn from. She's been co signed,
supported by doctors and healers, and yeah, we're just going
to get right into her amazing story when it comes
to her being raised in Australia and straight by pain
and lost and resilience. She has a story that is
going to probably not just inspire you, but encourage you
(00:59):
to turn the page. So first and foremost, blanding the plan,
get to our guest today once say to you and
thank you for a time, how you doing.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
And then great, thank you for having me here.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I appreciate you being here. So when you think about
breakthrough and the opportunity, like I said to turn the
page that usually comes from pain points and some point
of life, break it down. You help millions with your story,
but also through your journey, you have started something I
(01:32):
can call it movement. If you will with your resources,
kind of give us the back end story of your life.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
So I was born in Eastern Europe, and from when
I was really young, I was having digestive issues, just
end it up in the hospital, no clear reason, no
medical reason, but couldn't eat food properly for many years
without just blowing up, and my body just going into
a kind of a crazy state. And then I had
(02:01):
from about the age of ten, I started getting some
ritis all over my skin, and then from about fourteen
fifteen I started getting really bad back pain. All of
that culminated in high level of anxiety because nothing was helping.
I was going to see medical professionals for a really
long time, and then around the age of eighteen, I
(02:24):
started seeing alternative professionals. And the issue was how I
was showing up, because that's how I sought, right to
show up to anybody's office, going you know everything, You're
the one who can fix me. I don't know anything.
He fixed me, and I had this moment, like you said,
(02:44):
where I showed up at this chiropractice office. I was
in agony. My back was twisted and inflamed, and I'd
been seeing him for about a year and he just
looked at me. He actually came out of his office
and he looked at me and he said, your body stuck.
And I said, yeah, I know that part. How are
you going to help me? And he was silent for
(03:04):
a moment, and then he said, you know your body
wants to be stuck. There's nothing I can do. Go home.
I was very enraged by this, but it was this
like a light bulb went on where I went, why
doesn't my body want to be stuck? What is going
(03:27):
on inside of me? Where I'm refusing to let go?
And I had gone through a lot of traumas in
my life, including just before that, I had lost a child.
I got pregnant very young, and I didn't think it
would happened, and so I was in a big, deep
victim state in my life. And when I got home,
(03:50):
I just thought to myself, you know I've been everywhere.
I was seeing somebody five days a week. I'm going
to heal myself. I don't know how to do it,
but I'm going to do it. So I just started
by literally placing my hands on my back and breathing
into that area and counting backwards because my mind was
so negative. And as I was doing that, it occurred
(04:13):
to me to say, well, if there is something higher
divine helped me. And I wasn't expecting anything because I'm
super sex skeptical as person. But I just felt this
warmth move through my whole body, and as I had
my eyes closed, I could see this golden light and
I've been thinking something's happening, and then this other thought
(04:33):
occurred to me, what would happen if I could see
inside my body. I don't know where it came from,
but at that moment, it was as if someone was
there and the switch went on and I could literally
see my back like I had X ray vision, and
I got scared at the beginning, but then I started
saying why but not from the victim for the first time,
(04:57):
you know, at that point in my life, I was like,
I really want to know and understand, and so I
was shown various visual images. Because I'm quite a visual person.
I discovered and memories of coming to Australia and not
being able to seek the language, being bullied, you know,
having my parents been each other, also going to schools
(05:23):
where I just didn't feel any support. I was also
one of these sponges where I took other people's pain
or energy, and so I became aware of that. And
my grandparents had gone through just horrific experiences during the war.
I never kind of worked through it. I acknowledged it properly,
(05:46):
and I realized that I was carrying all of that,
and you know, my loss, my grandmother's loss of all
her siblings was really kind of intertwined, and so I
just cried. I felt through things, and I felt this unwinding,
(06:06):
its real unwinding of my own being. And I fell asleep.
And the next day I wake up and I was like,
oh my god, my back's not twisted. About seventy percent
of back pain was gone. And I thought to my start, okay,
and there's something here and I actually need to explore.
And so I spent the next few weeks not knowing
(06:28):
what I was doing, but asking a lot of questions
and breathing through things and feeling and changing my perspectives.
And by the end there was no back pain, myritis disappeared,
never came back. Neither of those came back. I felt
like I could eat food properly again and there and
(06:49):
my anxiety was right down, and I thought to myself,
Oh my god, something's happened that it's profound. I want
to know more. I want to go and learn about it.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
When you think about the process of the emotions being
felt as you're discovering, like at the end of the tunnel,
as you're trying to process that, what's some of the
things you start learning about yourself? And also the possibility
of change and hope, and you know, because before, I mean, yeah,
(07:26):
doctor Dall was trying to tell you go home because
of whatever reasons. But when you start to see new
options and new chances, how we starting to process that.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I felt like I was processing so many different things
at the time fastly. It was to do with my family,
so for my whole life up till you know, at
that time, I saw my grandparents as absolute victims, and
(08:02):
you know, of what happened to them, and it was like,
what's the point, what's the point? And all of a
sudden I changed my perception to they weren't victims. They
were extremely courageous, and that changed how I felt then
about myself because I went hold on a sec when
(08:24):
I was bullied at school. You know, I just kind
of I became a lesser a person in myself because
I was just like, I don't feel comfortable in my skin.
I don't know who I am. And then my perception
kind of changed to what was the what's the learning
and the growing that these people have given me? And
(08:47):
maybe it's that I can be very resilient, that I
don't give up easily, that rather than you know, being
kind of buried by this negativity, I am now finding
my way out and I can help other people. And
the same with the loss of the child. It was like,
I want to learn about more about what happens. I guess,
(09:12):
what is spirituality, what actually happens in the spiritual world.
So I took it as here's an opportunity to really learn.
And I've been learning ever since. I've hundreds and hundreds
of books that I've bought in the last few years.
You know, it's an opportunity to learn, to grow, to
change perspective to I guess I realized that because I
(09:37):
struggled and suffered I was in a good position to
help other people because I understood their pain. You know,
I wasn't coming from just here's what I think. It
was like, I've gone through this, I felt through it.
I understand the depth of loss. I understand pain, and
(09:57):
so I can be compassionate and I can hold this space.
But I can also learn how to have boundaries which
I didn't have prior to that.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Once again, listened to I'm focused, reading and washing. That's
on line talking to our guest today in Ago has
a website and go to innsgo dot com. My next
question is about your book best selling book, The Secret
Language of your Body. What inspired you to, if you
can put it this way, started the code symptoms in
(10:28):
such a way that was unique tailor made to your
own story. And what were you hoping for your readers
to take away from that project.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I felt like at the time when I started writing
the book, there was a few books like Louis Hayes
out there, and I thought there were amazing openings like
a doorway. But because I'm a person who needs a
lot of detail and depth, I kind of felt like,
(11:02):
especially as I started working with people as a practitioner,
I was like, I need more, I need more understanding.
And I also felt like I had this capacity that
I wakened, which was to really see into people's kind
of bodies and energy feels and to identify links. And
(11:26):
the more I did it, the more I could see
the connections. Even though I had been aware of Louise
Hay's book, but it didn't really occur to me, you know,
to write a different one when I first got it, obviously,
But the more I kept putting connections in, the more
I kept going, actually, this, you know, she did open
(11:47):
the door, and it's beautiful, but there's more. I need
to write more. I need to share more with people.
And I also felt like people needed processes like they
and they needed processes that came from different perspectives. So
some were connected to visualization and breathing, some were connected
(12:11):
to how do we really change our thinking? Some, you know,
to pressure points and kind of more coming from the
Chinese medicine perspective, and you know, and maybe the chakras
and colors, And so I went, how do I create
a lated process that is simple enough for a child
(12:33):
to do, like a twelve year old child, let's say,
but gives people all these different possibilities and perspectives and
questions to go in and discover and ask themselves. And
it started with me trying to give my clients processes
and then saying hey, after they came back, did you
do your homework? Did you do the process? And then
(12:56):
be like h and I would go, yeah, I can
tell you you haven't. Why not? I lost it And
I thought to myself, oh my god, if I write
a book, they will not have that excuse. So I
want to write a book that has processes, that has
kind of understanding of color, because color actually changes your
emotions and it's very easy to do and it's so
(13:21):
quick in that sense, and so I was looking at
how do we do deeper, longer processes. But also if
I'm at work and I'm starting to feel a bit anxious,
how do I calm my nervous system? And what color
would I use to do that? And how do I
do that quickly? And then you know, I did. I
put processes about emotions again because I actually realized that
(13:44):
people didn't really understand them. And I have learned a
lot since I read the book as well about how
to work with emotions in a deeper way, But I
also think that that was an opening for people. It
is an opening, especially if you're new to it, you know.
And then I also wrote about the systems of the body,
and it was like, actually, the system is all the
(14:05):
connected pieces of all the different parts of you and organs,
and I want you to get a sense of that.
Your body has so much wisdom and it's connected to
your soul and it actually wants you to learn. It's
a learning experience, right, it is your teacher in so
many ways.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
When you think about tools of healing, there's different resources
out there. I mean people literally google something, but disclaimer,
there's a time and place for everything. We need professional
help or you need to just keep looking and looking
into some words for your particular situation. Can you walk
(14:48):
us through a simple exercise that you share your clients
that can probably help someone network not just the body,
but in the beginning mode of healing from the emotional block.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Absolutely. I feel like the first step from most people,
unless you've been doing this for a very long time,
is to actually wake the body up. And the way
you do that is very simply by standing up and
starting with your right hand, you out right arm at
(15:23):
hand and you might go, were in my body do
I feel discomfort? And let's say it's in my heart.
So I place my hand on my heart and I
just take a few really slow breaths in and out,
ideally breathing through your nose and breathing out through your
mouth with slightly purse slips, because that already allows your
(15:47):
nervous system to calm down. And then as you recognize
something like you might go, okay, I'm feeling tension and stress.
And then it's almost like you take that tension stress
and then you shake your arm out for about thirty
to forty seconds as you're taking slow dew breaths in
(16:07):
and out, and then you stop and you take a moment,
and again you breathe slowly and deeply, and you sense
the difference between the two sides of your body. And
here's where you could add color. And so you might
take a moment and rub your hands together, and again
that awakens your whole body when you do that, and
(16:30):
you visualize. So you do that for about thirty seconds,
and then you place your hands slightly apart, and you
visualize green light or you feel the greenness. You've been
in nature. You know what green feels like it looks like,
and then you literally pour that color into your nervous
system as you breathe in and out and just repeat
(16:51):
the word calm. And then after about a minute of that,
you do the same with the left arm. See you
know and how obviously you place it maybe on the
same part of the body, maybe a different part breathing
too that part of the body. Acknowledge and then shake
it for about thirty seconds to forty seconds, and then
(17:14):
again rub your hands together do the green light so
you can then do the same with both arms. Essentially,
this exercise might take you between five and seven minutes
to do. By what it does is that it gets
you to breathe differently, It gets you to move your body,
(17:35):
It gets you to start to calm your nervous system,
but also acknowledging what are my feelings and what are
they about. So this is step one, we would say.
But during the day, once you learn a little bit
about color like rad gives you energy, blue calms you down.
For example, you could literally be sitting at work and
(17:58):
rub your hands together it doesn't look weird, and then
just kind of bring that color to your heart or
to a part of your body that feels uncomfortable and
take a minute to two minutes to breathe slowly and deeply,
to just calm yourself down, but also asking questions from
(18:22):
your body. So once you've done something like this and
you've awakened your body a little bit and you've calmed
your nervous system, this is when you can go a
little deeper and you can let's say it's my stomach.
I can bring my hands to my stomach. And the
reason we do that is because it connects the nervous
system and your brain to that part of your body
(18:43):
and starts moving energy. And here you would go if
there was a thought or a belief that I was
holding that was you know, making me suck, because most
sickness is about us being stuck in some perspective or
in some way. What would it be? And is this
helping me or hurting me? And you know, is this
(19:05):
coming from me? Or have I picked up picked this
up from my environment? And then you might go further,
or is this connected to feeling? And what is the
feeling and what's the feeling underneath that? And then you
might go is this coming from now or is this
coming from a story in the past and if so,
(19:28):
what could it be? And so you start to create
these pieces that are connecting to what this is about,
which then gives you choice, right the choices, can I
change my perspective? So again, this is very basic beginning,
and I do talk about this both in my own book,
The Secret Language of Your Body and also on my website.
(19:52):
I have a lot of free resources like master classes
and a newsletter that I'm sending out with all sorts
of ideas and processes and invitations to free master classes
that I do live as well, where you can start
to do these processes and be guided by me, but
(20:14):
also start to understand and why can it yourself.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
You also talk about timing of the soul, and with
that perspective, someone who's listening and watching, they might have
like a song question like, oh, I never heard this
way before. But when you talk about timing of this
soul kind of unpath that for us, because with what
(20:42):
you've learned with your own process and your own experience,
how do you think that in terms of pacing the
healing versus forcing the healing?
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Absolutely great question. Well, I believe in divine timing, and
I believe that the body and the soul, because I
feel like the soul of body is the body actually
knows timing, because what it understands is, you know, the
different layers, the many different layers. So in my industry,
(21:15):
a lot of people go, we need just need to
get to the root cause of things, and I don't
actually believe in the root cause. I believe that there
are seas that have started early on in your life
that are foundational, that get built and built and built
into layers of ways of thinking, feeling and experiencing life
and believing that this is how life is. And when
(21:39):
you start really looking within in a layered way, you
actually start to grow your sense of why self, let's
call it, and you recognize that you cannot push a
force or rush something because you're inner being as intelligent,
(22:00):
and whatever is being held there that you are not
aware of is being held there for a reason. And
the reason is if you weren't ready to deal with
it when it showed up, you didn't know how to.
And maybe there's layers of trauma and you need to
be strong enough and wise enough to connect to that
particular layer and transform it, and that transformation will open
(22:26):
up something else and something else for you, not just
to heal your body, but to actually expand and grow
as a soul, spirit being. And when you do that,
it your life changes completely. And so you cannot put
a bad data on You cannot trick your soul because
(22:48):
it has that intelligence and it will not let go
and your body will not let go of a disease
if you haven't gone through all the layers and all
the learning. Essentially that your soul has come here to
learn and to grow. And sometimes that learning is difficult
because it's to do with your relationships and making changes
(23:10):
in your relationships or in where you live, in your environment.
So it's not always just internal. It could be external
that you actually have to face people, You have to
have deep conversations. You have to learn to treat yourself better,
and you know and teach others how to treat you
how you want to be treated.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
And we say, I know we're getting close on time.
But when you say treat yourself better, you say that
in the movie goes off my head because I think
about all the people I interview on the show, and
I always try to emphasize a lot of times just
a common threat, any press I tad to on the show.
I mean that is, whenever they hit that certain point
(23:53):
of life where it was like, okay, beyond this moment,
this point a time is there to do or die.
Either I stand on ten tolls and advice to the occasion,
or I stay down and whatever it is is, in
other words, settle. When you think about what you had
(24:18):
to experience your life to get you to this point
where you're teaching people and give them the new resources.
How much of it is outer conflict versus the inner battle?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I honestly think it's both in lots of ways. I
feel like our experiences on the outside, Like my experience
was being bullied when I was younger. I also so
you don't have time to go deep into it, but
I was married to analyissist and how he treated me,
what he did my life of understanding of it was
(24:56):
really difficult. And it may seem like it's coming from
the outside, or I could have said, well, I had
this baby died, what did I do? You know? Or
did I do something? And you know, as you recognize
that there are things that happen on the outside that
you may not have any control of, you then start
(25:16):
going inside and going what is it that I can
change my perspective, how I treat myself, as I said,
how I wake up every day, I can change that right,
how I perceive a situation. How quickly can I turn
something around and find the positive in it? And something
(25:38):
that's strengthening. What is my practice, like, what is my
daily practice to keep me strong instead of falling to pieces?
So all of those things are so vitally important. But
at times, you know, I had to go I actually
have to go to Europe because I need to heal there.
(26:00):
Or I need to move you know, cities because I
really feel like I need to heal that. So I
feel like it's still internally guided because it's an internal
I guess it's intuition knowingness that we need to change.
And I'll conflicted with that with a thinking, a feeling,
(26:22):
But also I will meaning, what is it that we
actually need to do to change in our lives? So
I always believe it's so three that need to be combined.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
One tie to the thought you stay earlier in the
show about the homework, the guy not doing his part,
and you kind of cut the hand the cookie jar,
so to speak, and it's like, well, you're not going
to do the inn work. I can see all the
amazing clothes in the world, but it's not going to
(26:56):
really have any positive output on your end. So I
want to try that to this thought, and that is
people live their lives, and until we actually start to
understand ourselves and take the time to start to understand ourselves,
(27:21):
we truly won't ever realize where we really are and
where we could go. And a lot of times, like
you said when you mentioned that point of going to Europe,
we do have to go seek help or we have
to do things connect with the right organization on the
right people that can kind of educate us. Because right
(27:42):
if we're humble enough to eat the humble pot and
say I kind of lack the skill sets in this area.
So if I have some whose professional I use my desernment,
but I can also trust that they have the good
intentions to check my blind spots and educate hit me
in those in those places. So landing the airplane is
(28:04):
basically it is a balance of both understanding. Okay, it's
just what's going on in this world. But I'm responsible
of how I react. I'm responsible how I get up
in the morning. I'm responsible how I drive my car,
you know, am I weaving out in the lanes like
(28:25):
a maniac or my calm and chill and doing what
I'm supposed to do naturally as a driver. The responsibility
is and it's a funny jokes there if any where
you live. But I love your discussion because it ties
directly to your story of what you have to go
through in your determination. I will put it to find
(28:50):
what can work for you.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I believe that's why people when they listen to the show,
they appreciate guests like you, because you break it down
to where you had to go through and survive. You
came out with some tools for elders to use, and
that's what's great about the show. So I want to
say to you, appreciate that. How can people stay in
(29:14):
touch with you in your work if they are interested
in following what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
The best way is to go to my website in
a singale dot com and also actually just signing up
for my newsletter because I just share so much as
well in the newsletter and we have a lot of
free events and master classes and live ones. We have
recorded ones that you can already find on the website
(29:40):
and just watch it. Give yourself, like you were saying,
give yourself some time, give yourself some time, and that
it stucks with time. It starts with slowing down and
honoring yourself and going, let me discover why I'm here,
what I'm here about, what is my soul's And you
(30:01):
know I can talk on these topics for you know,
weeks and break so many things down, but just studying,
taking those few hours and going, I'm going to give
a gift to myself right because it is about me.
If I'm my best, then my children can be my best,
my partner, my life, my work, everything. But if I'm
(30:25):
falling to pieces and pretending that everything's fine, then it's
going to be a challenge. So again, there's so many
resources and in a seagull dot com please connect and
also I'm on social media and so on, and you know,
the idea for me so inspires many people as I
(30:46):
can to turn within and to learn that you do
have the power to transform your health, but really your life.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I appreciate those words and honest thank you for tuning them.
Make sure you can never it en us to go.

breakthrough and the opportunity, like I said to turn the
page that usually comes from pain points and some point
of life, break it down. You help millions with your story,
but also through your journey, you have started something I
(01:32):
can call it movement. If you will with your resources,
kind of give us the back end story of your life.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
So I was born in Eastern Europe, and from when
I was really young, I was having digestive issues, just
end it up in the hospital, no clear reason, no
medical reason, but couldn't eat food properly for many years
without just blowing up, and my body just going into
a kind of a crazy state. And then I had
(02:01):
from about the age of ten, I started getting some
ritis all over my skin, and then from about fourteen
fifteen I started getting really bad back pain. All of
that culminated in high level of anxiety because nothing was helping.
I was going to see medical professionals for a really
long time, and then around the age of eighteen, I
(02:24):
started seeing alternative professionals. And the issue was how I
was showing up, because that's how I sought, right to
show up to anybody's office, going you know everything, You're
the one who can fix me. I don't know anything.
He fixed me, and I had this moment, like you said,
(02:44):
where I showed up at this chiropractice office. I was
in agony. My back was twisted and inflamed, and I'd
been seeing him for about a year and he just
looked at me. He actually came out of his office
and he looked at me and he said, your body stuck.
And I said, yeah, I know that part. How are
you going to help me? And he was silent for
(03:04):
a moment, and then he said, you know your body
wants to be stuck. There's nothing I can do. Go home.
I was very enraged by this, but it was this
like a light bulb went on where I went, why
doesn't my body want to be stuck? What is going
(03:27):
on inside of me? Where I'm refusing to let go?
And I had gone through a lot of traumas in
my life, including just before that, I had lost a child.
I got pregnant very young, and I didn't think it
would happened, and so I was in a big, deep
victim state in my life. And when I got home,
(03:50):
I just thought to myself, you know I've been everywhere.
I was seeing somebody five days a week. I'm going
to heal myself. I don't know how to do it,
but I'm going to do it. So I just started
by literally placing my hands on my back and breathing
into that area and counting backwards because my mind was
so negative. And as I was doing that, it occurred
(04:13):
to me to say, well, if there is something higher
divine helped me. And I wasn't expecting anything because I'm
super sex skeptical as person. But I just felt this
warmth move through my whole body, and as I had
my eyes closed, I could see this golden light and
I've been thinking something's happening, and then this other thought
(04:33):
occurred to me, what would happen if I could see
inside my body. I don't know where it came from,
but at that moment, it was as if someone was
there and the switch went on and I could literally
see my back like I had X ray vision, and
I got scared at the beginning, but then I started
saying why but not from the victim for the first time,
(04:57):
you know, at that point in my life, I was like,
I really want to know and understand, and so I
was shown various visual images. Because I'm quite a visual person.
I discovered and memories of coming to Australia and not
being able to seek the language, being bullied, you know,
having my parents been each other, also going to schools
(05:23):
where I just didn't feel any support. I was also
one of these sponges where I took other people's pain
or energy, and so I became aware of that. And
my grandparents had gone through just horrific experiences during the war.
I never kind of worked through it. I acknowledged it properly,
(05:46):
and I realized that I was carrying all of that,
and you know, my loss, my grandmother's loss of all
her siblings was really kind of intertwined, and so I
just cried. I felt through things, and I felt this unwinding,
(06:06):
its real unwinding of my own being. And I fell asleep.
And the next day I wake up and I was like,
oh my god, my back's not twisted. About seventy percent
of back pain was gone. And I thought to my start, okay,
and there's something here and I actually need to explore.
And so I spent the next few weeks not knowing
(06:28):
what I was doing, but asking a lot of questions
and breathing through things and feeling and changing my perspectives.
And by the end there was no back pain, myritis disappeared,
never came back. Neither of those came back. I felt
like I could eat food properly again and there and
(06:49):
my anxiety was right down, and I thought to myself,
Oh my god, something's happened that it's profound. I want
to know more. I want to go and learn about it.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
When you think about the process of the emotions being
felt as you're discovering, like at the end of the tunnel,
as you're trying to process that, what's some of the
things you start learning about yourself? And also the possibility
of change and hope, and you know, because before, I mean, yeah,
(07:26):
doctor Dall was trying to tell you go home because
of whatever reasons. But when you start to see new
options and new chances, how we starting to process that.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I felt like I was processing so many different things
at the time fastly. It was to do with my family,
so for my whole life up till you know, at
that time, I saw my grandparents as absolute victims, and
(08:02):
you know, of what happened to them, and it was like,
what's the point, what's the point? And all of a
sudden I changed my perception to they weren't victims. They
were extremely courageous, and that changed how I felt then
about myself because I went hold on a sec when
(08:24):
I was bullied at school. You know, I just kind
of I became a lesser a person in myself because
I was just like, I don't feel comfortable in my skin.
I don't know who I am. And then my perception
kind of changed to what was the what's the learning
and the growing that these people have given me? And
(08:47):
maybe it's that I can be very resilient, that I
don't give up easily, that rather than you know, being
kind of buried by this negativity, I am now finding
my way out and I can help other people. And
the same with the loss of the child. It was like,
I want to learn about more about what happens. I guess,
(09:12):
what is spirituality, what actually happens in the spiritual world.
So I took it as here's an opportunity to really learn.
And I've been learning ever since. I've hundreds and hundreds
of books that I've bought in the last few years.
You know, it's an opportunity to learn, to grow, to
change perspective to I guess I realized that because I
(09:37):
struggled and suffered I was in a good position to
help other people because I understood their pain. You know,
I wasn't coming from just here's what I think. It
was like, I've gone through this, I felt through it.
I understand the depth of loss. I understand pain, and
(09:57):
so I can be compassionate and I can hold this space.
But I can also learn how to have boundaries which
I didn't have prior to that.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Once again, listened to I'm focused, reading and washing. That's
on line talking to our guest today in Ago has
a website and go to innsgo dot com. My next
question is about your book best selling book, The Secret
Language of your Body. What inspired you to, if you
can put it this way, started the code symptoms in
(10:28):
such a way that was unique tailor made to your
own story. And what were you hoping for your readers
to take away from that project.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I felt like at the time when I started writing
the book, there was a few books like Louis Hayes
out there, and I thought there were amazing openings like
a doorway. But because I'm a person who needs a
lot of detail and depth, I kind of felt like,
(11:02):
especially as I started working with people as a practitioner,
I was like, I need more, I need more understanding.
And I also felt like I had this capacity that
I wakened, which was to really see into people's kind
of bodies and energy feels and to identify links. And
(11:26):
the more I did it, the more I could see
the connections. Even though I had been aware of Louise
Hay's book, but it didn't really occur to me, you know,
to write a different one when I first got it, obviously,
But the more I kept putting connections in, the more
I kept going, actually, this, you know, she did open
(11:47):
the door, and it's beautiful, but there's more. I need
to write more. I need to share more with people.
And I also felt like people needed processes like they
and they needed processes that came from different perspectives. So
some were connected to visualization and breathing, some were connected
(12:11):
to how do we really change our thinking? Some, you know,
to pressure points and kind of more coming from the
Chinese medicine perspective, and you know, and maybe the chakras
and colors, And so I went, how do I create
a lated process that is simple enough for a child
(12:33):
to do, like a twelve year old child, let's say,
but gives people all these different possibilities and perspectives and
questions to go in and discover and ask themselves. And
it started with me trying to give my clients processes
and then saying hey, after they came back, did you
do your homework? Did you do the process? And then
(12:56):
be like h and I would go, yeah, I can
tell you you haven't. Why not? I lost it And
I thought to myself, oh my god, if I write
a book, they will not have that excuse. So I
want to write a book that has processes, that has
kind of understanding of color, because color actually changes your
emotions and it's very easy to do and it's so
(13:21):
quick in that sense, and so I was looking at
how do we do deeper, longer processes. But also if
I'm at work and I'm starting to feel a bit anxious,
how do I calm my nervous system? And what color
would I use to do that? And how do I
do that quickly? And then you know, I did. I
put processes about emotions again because I actually realized that
(13:44):
people didn't really understand them. And I have learned a
lot since I read the book as well about how
to work with emotions in a deeper way, But I
also think that that was an opening for people. It
is an opening, especially if you're new to it, you know.
And then I also wrote about the systems of the body,
and it was like, actually, the system is all the
(14:05):
connected pieces of all the different parts of you and organs,
and I want you to get a sense of that.
Your body has so much wisdom and it's connected to
your soul and it actually wants you to learn. It's
a learning experience, right, it is your teacher in so
many ways.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
When you think about tools of healing, there's different resources
out there. I mean people literally google something, but disclaimer,
there's a time and place for everything. We need professional
help or you need to just keep looking and looking
into some words for your particular situation. Can you walk
(14:48):
us through a simple exercise that you share your clients
that can probably help someone network not just the body,
but in the beginning mode of healing from the emotional block.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Absolutely. I feel like the first step from most people,
unless you've been doing this for a very long time,
is to actually wake the body up. And the way
you do that is very simply by standing up and
starting with your right hand, you out right arm at
(15:23):
hand and you might go, were in my body do
I feel discomfort? And let's say it's in my heart.
So I place my hand on my heart and I
just take a few really slow breaths in and out,
ideally breathing through your nose and breathing out through your
mouth with slightly purse slips, because that already allows your
(15:47):
nervous system to calm down. And then as you recognize
something like you might go, okay, I'm feeling tension and stress.
And then it's almost like you take that tension stress
and then you shake your arm out for about thirty
to forty seconds as you're taking slow dew breaths in
(16:07):
and out, and then you stop and you take a moment,
and again you breathe slowly and deeply, and you sense
the difference between the two sides of your body. And
here's where you could add color. And so you might
take a moment and rub your hands together, and again
that awakens your whole body when you do that, and
(16:30):
you visualize. So you do that for about thirty seconds,
and then you place your hands slightly apart, and you
visualize green light or you feel the greenness. You've been
in nature. You know what green feels like it looks like,
and then you literally pour that color into your nervous
system as you breathe in and out and just repeat
(16:51):
the word calm. And then after about a minute of that,
you do the same with the left arm. See you
know and how obviously you place it maybe on the
same part of the body, maybe a different part breathing
too that part of the body. Acknowledge and then shake
it for about thirty seconds to forty seconds, and then
(17:14):
again rub your hands together do the green light so
you can then do the same with both arms. Essentially,
this exercise might take you between five and seven minutes
to do. By what it does is that it gets
you to breathe differently, It gets you to move your body,
(17:35):
It gets you to start to calm your nervous system,
but also acknowledging what are my feelings and what are
they about. So this is step one, we would say.
But during the day, once you learn a little bit
about color like rad gives you energy, blue calms you down.
For example, you could literally be sitting at work and
(17:58):
rub your hands together it doesn't look weird, and then
just kind of bring that color to your heart or
to a part of your body that feels uncomfortable and
take a minute to two minutes to breathe slowly and deeply,
to just calm yourself down, but also asking questions from
(18:22):
your body. So once you've done something like this and
you've awakened your body a little bit and you've calmed
your nervous system, this is when you can go a
little deeper and you can let's say it's my stomach.
I can bring my hands to my stomach. And the
reason we do that is because it connects the nervous
system and your brain to that part of your body
(18:43):
and starts moving energy. And here you would go if
there was a thought or a belief that I was
holding that was you know, making me suck, because most
sickness is about us being stuck in some perspective or
in some way. What would it be? And is this
helping me or hurting me? And you know, is this
(19:05):
coming from me? Or have I picked up picked this
up from my environment? And then you might go further,
or is this connected to feeling? And what is the
feeling and what's the feeling underneath that? And then you
might go is this coming from now or is this
coming from a story in the past and if so,
(19:28):
what could it be? And so you start to create
these pieces that are connecting to what this is about,
which then gives you choice, right the choices, can I
change my perspective? So again, this is very basic beginning,
and I do talk about this both in my own book,
The Secret Language of Your Body and also on my website.
(19:52):
I have a lot of free resources like master classes
and a newsletter that I'm sending out with all sorts
of ideas and processes and invitations to free master classes
that I do live as well, where you can start
to do these processes and be guided by me, but
(20:14):
also start to understand and why can it yourself.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
You also talk about timing of the soul, and with
that perspective, someone who's listening and watching, they might have
like a song question like, oh, I never heard this
way before. But when you talk about timing of this
soul kind of unpath that for us, because with what
(20:42):
you've learned with your own process and your own experience,
how do you think that in terms of pacing the
healing versus forcing the healing?
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Absolutely great question. Well, I believe in divine timing, and
I believe that the body and the soul, because I
feel like the soul of body is the body actually
knows timing, because what it understands is, you know, the
different layers, the many different layers. So in my industry,
(21:15):
a lot of people go, we need just need to
get to the root cause of things, and I don't
actually believe in the root cause. I believe that there
are seas that have started early on in your life
that are foundational, that get built and built and built
into layers of ways of thinking, feeling and experiencing life
and believing that this is how life is. And when
(21:39):
you start really looking within in a layered way, you
actually start to grow your sense of why self, let's
call it, and you recognize that you cannot push a
force or rush something because you're inner being as intelligent,
(22:00):
and whatever is being held there that you are not
aware of is being held there for a reason. And
the reason is if you weren't ready to deal with
it when it showed up, you didn't know how to.
And maybe there's layers of trauma and you need to
be strong enough and wise enough to connect to that
particular layer and transform it, and that transformation will open
(22:26):
up something else and something else for you, not just
to heal your body, but to actually expand and grow
as a soul, spirit being. And when you do that,
it your life changes completely. And so you cannot put
a bad data on You cannot trick your soul because
(22:48):
it has that intelligence and it will not let go
and your body will not let go of a disease
if you haven't gone through all the layers and all
the learning. Essentially that your soul has come here to
learn and to grow. And sometimes that learning is difficult
because it's to do with your relationships and making changes
(23:10):
in your relationships or in where you live, in your environment.
So it's not always just internal. It could be external
that you actually have to face people, You have to
have deep conversations. You have to learn to treat yourself better,
and you know and teach others how to treat you
how you want to be treated.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
And we say, I know we're getting close on time.
But when you say treat yourself better, you say that
in the movie goes off my head because I think
about all the people I interview on the show, and
I always try to emphasize a lot of times just
a common threat, any press I tad to on the show.
I mean that is, whenever they hit that certain point
(23:53):
of life where it was like, okay, beyond this moment,
this point a time is there to do or die.
Either I stand on ten tolls and advice to the occasion,
or I stay down and whatever it is is, in
other words, settle. When you think about what you had
(24:18):
to experience your life to get you to this point
where you're teaching people and give them the new resources.
How much of it is outer conflict versus the inner battle?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I honestly think it's both in lots of ways. I
feel like our experiences on the outside, Like my experience
was being bullied when I was younger. I also so
you don't have time to go deep into it, but
I was married to analyissist and how he treated me,
what he did my life of understanding of it was
(24:56):
really difficult. And it may seem like it's coming from
the outside, or I could have said, well, I had
this baby died, what did I do? You know? Or
did I do something? And you know, as you recognize
that there are things that happen on the outside that
you may not have any control of, you then start
(25:16):
going inside and going what is it that I can
change my perspective, how I treat myself, as I said,
how I wake up every day, I can change that right,
how I perceive a situation. How quickly can I turn
something around and find the positive in it? And something
(25:38):
that's strengthening. What is my practice, like, what is my
daily practice to keep me strong instead of falling to pieces?
So all of those things are so vitally important. But
at times, you know, I had to go I actually
have to go to Europe because I need to heal there.
(26:00):
Or I need to move you know, cities because I
really feel like I need to heal that. So I
feel like it's still internally guided because it's an internal
I guess it's intuition knowingness that we need to change.
And I'll conflicted with that with a thinking, a feeling,
(26:22):
But also I will meaning, what is it that we
actually need to do to change in our lives? So
I always believe it's so three that need to be combined.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
One tie to the thought you stay earlier in the
show about the homework, the guy not doing his part,
and you kind of cut the hand the cookie jar,
so to speak, and it's like, well, you're not going
to do the inn work. I can see all the
amazing clothes in the world, but it's not going to
(26:56):
really have any positive output on your end. So I
want to try that to this thought, and that is
people live their lives, and until we actually start to
understand ourselves and take the time to start to understand ourselves,
(27:21):
we truly won't ever realize where we really are and
where we could go. And a lot of times, like
you said when you mentioned that point of going to Europe,
we do have to go seek help or we have
to do things connect with the right organization on the
right people that can kind of educate us. Because right
(27:42):
if we're humble enough to eat the humble pot and
say I kind of lack the skill sets in this area.
So if I have some whose professional I use my desernment,
but I can also trust that they have the good
intentions to check my blind spots and educate hit me
in those in those places. So landing the airplane is
(28:04):
basically it is a balance of both understanding. Okay, it's
just what's going on in this world. But I'm responsible
of how I react. I'm responsible how I get up
in the morning. I'm responsible how I drive my car,
you know, am I weaving out in the lanes like
(28:25):
a maniac or my calm and chill and doing what
I'm supposed to do naturally as a driver. The responsibility
is and it's a funny jokes there if any where
you live. But I love your discussion because it ties
directly to your story of what you have to go
through in your determination. I will put it to find
(28:50):
what can work for you.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I believe that's why people when they listen to the show,
they appreciate guests like you, because you break it down
to where you had to go through and survive. You
came out with some tools for elders to use, and
that's what's great about the show. So I want to
say to you, appreciate that. How can people stay in
(29:14):
touch with you in your work if they are interested
in following what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
The best way is to go to my website in
a singale dot com and also actually just signing up
for my newsletter because I just share so much as
well in the newsletter and we have a lot of
free events and master classes and live ones. We have
recorded ones that you can already find on the website
(29:40):
and just watch it. Give yourself, like you were saying,
give yourself some time, give yourself some time, and that
it stucks with time. It starts with slowing down and
honoring yourself and going, let me discover why I'm here,
what I'm here about, what is my soul's And you
(30:01):
know I can talk on these topics for you know,
weeks and break so many things down, but just studying,
taking those few hours and going, I'm going to give
a gift to myself right because it is about me.
If I'm my best, then my children can be my best,
my partner, my life, my work, everything. But if I'm
(30:25):
falling to pieces and pretending that everything's fine, then it's
going to be a challenge. So again, there's so many
resources and in a seagull dot com please connect and
also I'm on social media and so on, and you know,
the idea for me so inspires many people as I
(30:46):
can to turn within and to learn that you do
have the power to transform your health, but really your life.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I appreciate those words and honest thank you for tuning them.
Make sure you can never it en us to go.
And like always we tell our guests once to say
thank you for your time to
