8 roadblocks to healing

From my own very long journey back to health from chronic fatigue, depression and many other ailments, plus working with hundreds of women, I have noticed there are certain habits, traits, beliefs or patterns which will halt progress in its tracks. Here they are…

1. ‘HEALING WILL HAPPEN OVERNIGHT OR IN ONE SESSION’

This is one of the biggest misnomers that people looking for a solution will have: expecting healing to happen overnight, or even in a few weeks.

Why is it unrealistic to think this?

Because in 99% of cases, illness takes years to build up in the body, even before symptoms are noticed, and expecting an overnight change, without making the necessary changes within ourselves we need to make, is the biggest mind trick ever. In every client I have yet worked with, the actual ‘set up’ happens within the first 10 years of life, but it is not apparent at this time.

Partly this expectation is fueled by our healthcare system which does offer ‘quick fixes’ in the form of medication or surgery. For example, anti-depressants can take effect in a few days or weeks, allowing us to continue on with our daily life as before, without ever asking the question ‘why am I ill in the first place?’ Blood pressure pills can balance our blood pressure in days, but if we don’t explore why the pressure is out of balance in the first place, we are just placing the proverbial plaster on the wound.

The problem with this is, unless we discover and address what created the symptoms, the real problem is not being addressed, and symptoms are merely being masked, and will usually re-occur in some other form sooner or later.

Advertising also fuels this misnomer. How many ads have you watched telling you that if you have the flu or a strained back ‘just take xyz medication’ and you can get on with your day as if nothing has happened? No! If your body is sending you symptoms, it is asking you to take stock of what is going on in your life to understand what has brought it into this state of ‘dis-ease’. If you have the flu, the natural intelligence of your body is telling you it needs to rest and repair. Your body is not a machine and it deserves your care and respect! If you have chronic fatigue syndrome, your body is telling you to stop and re-assess your whole life, and how you are ‘doing’ life. Every symptom has a message which is waiting to be interpreted, and this must be done.

So expecting your body to self-repair overnight or in one session is simply unrealistic, and this must be understood and accepted. Then the real work of healing (which means ‘to become whole’) can begin.

2. THINKING ONE THERAPY WILL SORT ALL MY PROBLEMS

Often we can think that one therapy will be the one-stop-shop solution.

In my experience as a practitioner working with many clients, this is less likely to be the case. For my personal experience, I had to test and implement a number of methods to get results.

Whilst some people can hit on one therapy which will be the one ‘miracle cure’, the percentage of people this happens to is much less, and in my personal experience I would say about 5% of people are this fortunate. For the other 95%, we are going to have to use more than one approach.

Why is this?

Because finding and addressing the real root cause of illness, and all the many potential contributing factors, is not that simple. There may be physical factors, emotional reasons, belief and thinking factors, dietary issues, geopathic stress, environmental issues,  toxic issues, people issues, genetic or epigenetic issues, lifestyle and habit factors which need to be addressed. The list is long.

Many therapies are developed to focus on one particular issue, and may be perfect for that, and brilliant at addressing that one particular issue, but just like expecting ‘one religion to fit all’, it is unrealistic to expect that a therapy will address all causes.

So for example supplements can help with nutritional deficiencies, but they will not address the trauma and stress of dealing with an abusive partner which is creating the ‘dis-ease’ in the digestive system in the first place.

Plus what works for one person will not necessarily work for another! Which is why it is so important to follow our ‘gut’ feeling to find what ‘feels‘ right for us, and why healing is a journey of self-discovery. We must be prepared that we may need to use multiple approaches and that this will not happen overnight.

In my experience, getting well from a chronic illness is a cumulative process, where finding and implementing different strategies will eventually, sooner or later, help us to reach our goal of wellness.

3. ‘I WANT TO BE WELL BY’… (A CERTAIN DATE)

This is a very common expectation, especially if we have been ill for a long time. Of course we want to be well again, but putting time deadlines on the body does not work at all. In fact, it slows down progress because it puts our body under pressure to achieve a result it cannot achieve without right understanding of what has caused the problem, and right rectification of that problem.

A much better question to ask is ‘what is it I need to learn or change in my life in order to bring my body back into balance? What is it I need to do to stop damaging my body‘. Once we discover this, and implement it, and once our super intelligent body sees that we mean for real to live our life in a healthier way, and we have proven that we are no longer going to ‘damage’ it with negative beliefs, behaviours and actions, it will bring itself back into health. It doesn’t want to be unwell any more than you do, but it will keep you unwell if there are still lessons to be learned.

4. SOMEONE OR SOMETHING (OUTSIDE OF ME) WILL FIX ME

While it is true, useful and sometimes very necessary that we receive emergency treatment, medication or surgery, we must look at the bigger picture. We must understand that our body is a self-healing mechanism that can and will self-heal given the right circumstances.

The more we understand this, the more self-responsibility we can start to take for our health. We become more aware of what it is that WE are doing to create or perpetuate illness. Then we can start to make necessary changes and get a different result. As the saying goes ‘the definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result‘.

Initially it may feel scary to feel that we play such a huge role in our health, but ultimately when we take back our power and become self-masterful, it is a highly satisfying and empowering experience.

5. ‘I’VE TRIED EVERYTHING’

When a client comes to me and says ‘I’ve tried everything’ my first question will be to get a specific list of what ‘everything’ means. Usually I find although it may seem like a long list to the person, it is not nearly ‘everything’. Usually the number will be somewhere between 5 and 20 therapies.

Having tried and tested nearly 200 therapies myself, and trained professionally in 20, I know that I am also nowhere near to ‘trying everything’! There are an abundance of health modalities in the world today, and the more countries and cultures you experience, the more health approaches you will discover. On my journey to discover solutions to my illness, I travelled to Egypt, Mexico, USA, Canada, Costa Rica, Guatamala, UK, Fiji, Australia, New Zealand and more and discovered some truly unique therapies!

So whether you have tried 5 or 50 therapies, why is it that thinking we have ‘tried everything’ will prevent our progress? Well, for 3 core reasons:

  1. When we think we have ‘done it all’, we close our mind to new possibilities, and when our mind is closed, it cannot learn something new. In order for the change and transformation we are seeking to occur, we MUST be open to new information and possibilities, otherwise we are doing the ‘same old same old’ again and again, even if it is with a different method.
  2. We may often have tried many therapies, but have you yet tried the right approach for what you need? If we are not using an approach that addresses the real root cause of the symptom, then it is unlikely we will find the answer. Most people are unaware that many health approaches never get near the root cause.
  3. If we really have tried multiple therapies and nothing is working, then we need to ask ourselves one question: ‘what is the common denominator here?’ – and of course it’s us! Which means there must be something in us which is not yet changing or open to change, and this holds the key to the breakthrough we are looking for. It also means there is some vital piece of the puzzle which is still missing. We must find this piece, and this is precisely what I offer in my foundation ‘Kiwi Health Detective Session‘. In one 90 minute session we discover those missing pieces.

6. ‘I ALREADY KNOW THAT’

Similar to ‘I’ve tried everything’, the thought that we already know the answer will block our ability to see and hear new possibilities. We must keep our mind open to new information.

We must also let go of what we think we know and develop ‘beginners’ mind’.

As ancient Masters say “You cannot fill a cup that is already full. Empty the cup first”.

Even if you think you already know it, let go of the urge to think or say this when receiving advice from an expert, because they may just say something which could change your life. Which brings me to the last point…

7. THINKING PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS ARE CAUSED BY SOMETHING PHYSICAL

Now this piece of information is probably one the BIGGEST mindset changes that blows people’s minds if this is the first time they have heard it!

Physical symptoms are less likely, than more likely, to be caused by something that has nothing to do with any physical! Of course this goes against the grain of much of our ‘education’.

For me it was the missing piece of the puzzle: for years I tried physical therapies, never realizing that what was going on my mind and emotions was affecting my body. But as you will discover, everything we feel and think changes our chemistry, and chemistry is what makes our cells; when we feel and experience good-feeling thoughts and emotions, this will have a beneficial impact on our cells. When we feel and experience negativity and negative emotions, this will lead our cells to experience something completely different. This is why learning to keep ourselves ’emotionally clear’ is necessary for health, as well as happiness.

8. THINKING WE CAN DO IT WITHOUT HELP

Whether we like it or not, we all have our ‘blind sides’ where we cannot see our ‘stuff’. The interesting thing is, other people can see our stuff!

I remember the day I realized I was super stressed: one day I just became aware that I was really, really stressed, and that I needed to do something about it for the good of my health. The funny thing was, as I saw this, I knew I had been this way for years, but until that moment I had not ‘re-cognized’ it consciously. Upon having the recognition, I then saw that everyone else had been seeing it, but not me!

As human beings we are simply ‘not aware of what we are not aware of’, until we become aware. This is the key to healing most illnesses and unhappiness: becoming aware of what we were previously unaware of, and then having new choices.

As the saying goes, we can never see ‘the dark side of the moon’, and so it is with human consciousness. We need help to see our blind side, and this is why a coach is so invaluable and can save you years of  pain and thousands of dollars in wasted effort.

IN SUMMARY

Recovering from chronic illness is not easy. It can often bring us to our knees, but there is a reason for it, and lessons to be learned, and a gift in the journey. We must be prepared to put in the work, to persevere, to commit to ourselves no matter what.

As one of my first teachers said “healing is a journey of transformation: when you heal you change and are never the same again”. True healing requires that we transform and transcend our previous self. This is going to require change on all levels: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Often illness is a sign we have gone off track, and it is a way of bringing us back on track.

Illness is never random, it always has a message, a story, a meaning. It is our body trying to tell us something, because our natural state is to be healthy, so if we are experiencing anything but this, it means we need to do and learn whatever it is to return to our natural state of health, which is possible.

In the words of Winston Churchill, “never, never, never give up”.

The True Cost of Staying Unhappy or Unwell

When I was ill with chronic fatigue, and unable to work for over 10 years, before I discovered what was actually causing the problem (which took me 5 of those 10 years), I would have given anything to find out (a) what was causing symptoms and (b) what I needed to do to get well.

Funnily enough, years later after I was well again, a very astute business woman asked me a question which really quite shocked me:

Her question was “When you were ill, and searching for answers, what would you have given, or paid, someone like you, (ie me the now well-informed health coach), if they had turned up on your doorstep one day and said ‘I have the answers, I can help you’?”

I pondered for a moment, reflecting back on the many months and years I had spent hardly able to walk, do the shopping or function as a human being at all … I mentally added up the number of therapies (140+) I had tried in those first 5 years and the thousands of dollars that had cost me. I remembered the loneliness and frustration as I searched for answers which no-one seemed to have, including doctors and therapists, and the friends or family who could not understand what was going on inside of me when I looked so ‘normal‘ on the outside.

Wow, I thought. I would have given anything. Everything!

Whilst I might not have given ‘an arm or a leg’ (I was still just able to walk after all, and I did need to cook my meals), I would have paid anything for someone to tell me what on earth was going on and how to get well. If I hadn’t had the money in the bank at the time, I would have taken a loan to get it!

That was not my journey however.

I know now, that in a strange way, I was destined to go through a long, protracted journey just so that I could (a) understand in depth the necessary steps for getting well and (b) help others to do so too and (c) be able to help others avoid having to go through such a long process.

I know that I was meant to try (to this day now) nearly 200 therapies so that I could learn what works and what doesn’t in particular for chronic fatigue and pain conditions, and be able to recommend the best options to others so that they wouldn’t have to try hundreds of therapies and spend thousands of dollars.

I know now that this journey provided me with exactly what I would need to help others recover in the shortest possible time with the least amount of angst. I know this now, and am very grateful for my personal journey, even though at the time it was unbelievably difficult.

What is it costing you to stay unwell or unhappy?

This then made me think.

What is the cost of staying ill or unwell, staying where we are, not taking the steps to get better, even when we know we want to?

Yes, this is a very common phenomenon, the reason for which I will come to shortly. But first of all let’s look at the real costs, both monetary and otherwise.

For many people with chronic pain and fatigue conditions, (CFS, ME, adrenal fatigue, burnout, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, glandular fever, PVFS etc) their lives are severely disrupted, many to the point of either not being able to work at all, or to the point that they still are working when they really shouldn’t be.

Let’s take an example of someone who is not working at all: let’s say their salary is $50,000 a year. If they don’t work for a year, that’s $50,000 that is not going into their bank account, plus the additional money that needs to be found to live. 5 years and it’s up to $250,000. 20 years and it’s a cool million dollars!

And yet, over the past 11 years since I have been helping people through these health conditions, I have found that on average the recovery time is 3-6 months, with some people taking only a few weeks, and others up to a year.

Personally I lost out big time financially. I sold my then mortgage-free house and car to pay my living expenses and therapy fees. I was unable to work for 10 years. At the time I sold my house it was valued at $300,000. The value now would be close to $800,000! Since then I have been paying weekly rent, another $350,000! So that’s another cool million or more down the drain. It’s crushing to think about, so I do my best not to, and keep looking forward…

But do the maths (or as they say in the good ‘ol USA ‘the math’). Which option do you think is better financially? To spend a small amount of money now to get your life back on track, or to stay unwell for years and lose a lot more. It’s a no-brainer really.

Which leads me on to the next topic: how long do we wait before taking action to restore our health and wellbeing?

The quicker you make a start at getting better, the quicker you get better

Years ago in London, I ‘put my back out’ while cleaning the windows in my 3rd floor flat. I was leaning out the window trying to clean the outside of the window when ‘ping’ something ‘went’ in my back. I had never hurt my back before and I really had no idea what I had done. As a consequence of my ignorance around back issues, I continued on as before, and did not seek help. 3 months went by, and even though I wasn’t in any real pain, I found that my range of motion was getting more limited.

Then one day I was sitting on the edge of my bed putting a sock on, and I realized that I couldn’t reach my foot. I was 26 years old and I could not bend over to put a sock on! Something was surely not right about this! ‘Surely I should be able to put my socks on‘ I thought to myself, and then remembered back to the day 3 months earlier when I had tweaked my back. Putting two and two together (finally) I realized I needed to seek help.

At that time, the only medical practitioners I had ever seen in my life were a dentist, surgeon and doctor. I had no idea who to see for my back situation, but I knew none of these three were the answer. Somehow, after asking around, I heard of a therapist called an ‘osteopath’. Gosh, that was a revelation, there were other medical practitioners than doctors and dentists!

I made an appointment with this man, and the first thing he said to me after hearing my window-cleaning story was this:

‘You should have come to see me as soon as you had the injury because now the body has compensated for the injury and it has set in, which means it will take longer to get better’.

This one decision to not seek help as soon as I could have after the original injury would, unbeknowns to me at the time, haunt me for another 20 years, including countless appointments with many osteopaths, and even visits by ambulance to hospital for morphine to deal with the pain. But that’s another story…

If I had known better and been more in touch with what was going on inside my body I would have saught help straight away, and if I ever tweak my back now, I know to seek help immediately, ideally the same day.

However, back then, I was completely out of touch with my body, and had no idea about alternative practitioners, so I did what a lot of people do, and ‘just put up with it‘ until I could no longer tolerate the pain and inconvenience.

The point here is, whilst conditions such as CFS, adrenal fatigue, ME, fibromyalgia etc are indicative themselves of not having gotten help immediately (because one simply cannot be experiencing these conditions without there being a multitude of long-standing stress and emotional issues that have been going on for months, and often years), at least once we know we have a condition it is wise to do something about it and get help as soon as possible from someone who truly knows what to do about it. Because the longer we leave it, the worse it gets. And the quicker we start identifying and rectifying the root causes, the quicker we can get well. It’s just common sense.

Whilst on the whole I have found the quicker we get onto it, the quicker the recovery, and the younger the person, the quicker the recovery, I have also worked with people who have had serious symptoms for 20 years and recovered in 2 weeks.It does happen, but I highly recommend not expecting it. It takes months and years to build up symptoms of chronic debilitating pain and fatigue, and we need to be prepared to take the time to make the necessary changes to reverse the situation.

What is the true cost of not being happy or healthy?

So what is the cost of staying unwell? There is only one answer to this:

EVERYTHING! YOUR LIFE!

Every day, month or year that goes by and you cannot function well physically, mentally or emotionally is time you will never recoup.

Conversely, every day, month or year you are happy and healthy is time you can spend doing what you want with your life.

What is it you want to do with your life? A fulfilling relationship? Enjoy quality time with your family, children, parents, friends? Share your gifts with the world? What does your life mean to you? Do you want to be lying on your deathbed and be grateful and proud of what you have done in your life, or do you want to waste away year after year wishing things could be different?

Not only do we lose out financially if we cannot work, we lose every aspect of our life: work, family, friends, hobbies, fun…

But here’s the good news!

We can get better if we know how. We have a choice and the power of free will. We can change our circumstances, as long as we understand that this change ALWAYS starts with us and from within. And it starts with the decisions we take over if we are going to do something about our situation, or if we are going to keep coming up with excuses as to why we should not take action.

Which brings me to the final point of this topic:

What is it that is really stopping you from getting well?

Why is it, when we know we want to be well, that we can find every excuse in the book not to?

Usually the reasons we give ourselves are something along the lines of “I can’t afford it or “I don’t have the time“. Yes I have heard both these reasons as a therapist a lot!

My response to that, given the statistics above, is ‘can you afford not to’?

Over the past few years I have discovered why most people think they cannot afford to do what it takes to get well. This has been the result of many years of personal discovery plus seeing the same pattern turning up in clients:

Deep, deep down, unconsciously, we do not feel deserving of feeling happy or getting better.

Please note the word UNCONSCIOUS here. We are not doing this consciously! It is something that is usually happening well beyond our conscious awareness.

Deep within we can have beliefs running our psyche  called ‘transparent’ beliefs because we don’t see them. They are also referred to as ‘false’ beliefs because once they become conscious, even though they tend to feel real, they are not the truth. But we believe them because we don’t feel deserving of good things in life, such as happiness, success, abundance, recognition and more.

These beliefs are formed early on in childhood, usually by the age of 7 years, and run our every waking (and sleeping) thought and action, without us even knowing it. They are, in truth, what have led us to become ill or unhappy in the first place. 

It goes without saying that we must discover and clear these beliefs, and the original events which set them up, in order to transform our current situation. And this we can do, if we know how. And it can take much less time and be easier than we might think. But unless we decide to seek the help to do so, nothing will change, and we will stay exactly where we are, for another month or year…

I have dedicated the past 25 years to learning this ‘stuff’, and I know for sure that we can change our circumstances as long as we make the decision to do so, and then follow up with appropriate, consistent action.

As the famous quote by Goethe goes:

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”

Don’t waste another day, month or year losing out on your precious life. Get the help you need right now so that you can get on and live the live you were born to live.

The power of a personal coach

Imagine this scenario:

You have decided to climb Mt Everest, which you have never done before. You know you really want to get to the top.

You gather together what equipment you think you will need and set off. Imagine however that you have no map or compass, or personal guide to tell you which direction to go. You see the top of the mountain, it seems a long way off, and you set off in the direction you think is correct.

As you travel, sometimes you find yourself moving towards the mountain, but then the path seems to take a different turn, and you end up moving away from it. It gets frustrating. You wish you had someone to ask for help. To turn to for support. You wish you could ask someone for exact directions, a helping hand, a known, tried and tested route up the mountain.

You keep going, but after a few weeks, or months, or maybe even years, you start to get more and exhausted and despondent. Are you ever going to get there? The final destination never seems to get nearer. You just wish you had someone to talk to who could encourage you, support you, show you the way, tell you what to do, help you reach the summit. You start to wonder if you will ever get there…

SOUND FAMILIAR?

Now imagine this instead:

You have decided to climb Mt Everest. You have engaged an expert guide from the start, someone who has climbed this mountain many times. They know the exact route to take, they know what equipment to take, they know how long it is likely to take to get there.

They tell you exactly what to pack, what clothes and equipment to bring, what NOT to bring, and show you they have a top quality tried and tested compass and a detailed map.

They show you the route on the map of how you will reach the summit together, and give you an idea of how long it will most likely take to get there. They sit you down and brief you on the pitfalls along the way, the likely hurdles of crevasses and rockfalls you will meet which if you were alone might scare you or make you want to give up.

Then you set off together. They carry your big pack for you so that you only have to carry your small backpack.

You don’t have to do any thinking or planning – they tell you exactly what you will do each day, you just have to follow them up the mountain path.They make you meals each day, put up your tent each night, and know exactly how far to walk each day to match your perfect pace and current abilities. They never go too fast or too slow because they know the perfect speed for you. But you must do the walking and follow their guidance.

One day at a time, you walk together up the mountain, the guide showing you how to navigate any landslides and laying down a ladder for you to cross dangerous crevasses.

Even though at times it seems to you like you are going in the wrong direction and moving away from the end goal, they assure you that you are going the right way and that you need to trust in their guidance because they have been there before, many times.

One day at a time you walk up the mountain, in exactly the right direction, gradually making your way up that huge ascent. And bit by bit you see that you are making headway, you are going in the right direction, you are on track, and you are getting close to summit.

Until one day you reach the top. You did it, you got to the top, with help, but YOU did it!

And now that you have done it once, you know the path, you know the equipment that is needed to get to the top, and you have this knowledge and equipment to use for the rest of your life.

Such is the power of a personal coach.

As Einstein once said: “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it” 

A personal guide knows the route, they know the pitfalls, they know the unseen hills and valleys you will have to cross on your journey.

They can also see the blind spots in your psyche which you cannot, which will often keep you stuck until they are noticed by someone ‘on the outside’ of your consciousness. They know how to jump across crevasses and dodge landslides. They know how to take care of you when you just feel like giving up and turning back.

We must have new tools and fresh perspectives to solve our problems, and this is exaclty what I do as a coach for you.

Fed up of not knowing why you are unwell or unhappy?

Wanting to find a way out so you can get on with living your life?

You’re not alone.

Nothing is worse than having pain, exhaustion or ongoing unhappiness and not finding a cause or solution, or knowing what to do about it.

Perhaps these life challenges are turning up in the home environment, in relationships, with finances, at work, with colleagues, partners, family, friends…

No matter what is showing up in your life as an unwanted circumstance, a first ‘breakthrough’ session with Kim will get to the bottom of it, and then reveal the steps for transforming it… for good. 

By the end of a first breakthrough session with Kim you will:

  • understand how everything that has happened to you in your life has led you, whether you have realized it or not, to end up where you are right now. We call this the ‘law of cause and effect’.
  • understand the key events in your life which have contributed to issues of unhappiness and / or symptoms of illness
  • most probably have ‘lightbulb’ moments in piecing together the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle of your whole life and the current situation you find yourself in, so that you can clearly see what needs to be done to ‘undo’ or resolve the issues at hand
  • know that there ARE solutions at hand which up until now you have not yet known or seen, so that you have HOPE that you WILL and CAN come through this. You do not have to spend the rest of your life in mental, emotional or physical pain.

By the end of this session you will have become crystal clear on why you are experiencing your current (and maybe long-standing) health or (un)happiness issues. We will also map out the road to recovery via the options available.

How precious is life really?


Have you ever stopped to wonder at how precious life is?

The older I get, and the more I clear out my past so I can make the most of the present and future, which means I can then live my purpose and follow my dreams, the more I realize the truth of this.

The funny thing is, when I was ill and unhappy, I never saw things this way at all.

In fact, I spent a lot of my time wishing I wasn’t here, wishing it was all over. It was just too hard, and all I experienced day after day was sadness, anger, depression, exhaustion…

Can you relate to this? Have you ever felt so bad that you have thought it would be easier for it to be over?

When we are happy and joyful, we want to live. And when we are unhappy or unwell, often we feel it’s just too hard to keep going. Or at least that was how it was for me.

This is pretty sad, but true for many people. And it has to do with what is known as the ‘scale of consciousness’.

Depending on where we sit on the scale of human consciousness, we will either experience life as enjoyable… or not.

So how you are living your life right now? Do you wake up every day feeling a sense of gratitude and awe for your life, glad to be alive? Or is every day a constant chore of a struggle?

If it’s the latter, would you like it to be different?

Because the truth is, our human life is very precious. And most of the time, and especially if we are unhappy or ill, we don’t realize the truth of this statement…

BUBBLE IN WATER

A few years ago I heard that the Tibetans have a saying: “Every human life is like a bubble in water”.

In other words, the bubble can burst at any moment.

Many of the people I know who are truly happy and successful say they had a ‘wake up call’ through an accident or illness, which made them understand the preciousness of life, and helped them realize that they wanted to make the most of every minute of the rest of their life.

For me it was not an overnight experience, but the hard work and perseverance is paying off, and I no longer ‘wish it was all over’.

It is said that we teach what we need to learn, and this has certainly been the case for me.

I spent most of my life being intensely unhappy and many years being ill. There were many times when I felt like it was just too hard to go on, too much of a struggle.

But something kept me going. And now I’m so glad it did, because finally I am starting to experience true happiness.

It’s been a lot of work, but the good news is that because I investigated this topic so deeply and for so long, I can now short-cut that journey for others.

Not that we don’t each need to do the work for ourselves, but when we have a guide who has travelled up the mountain before us, it makes it so much easier and quicker.

So this is exactly why I do the work I do.

I want to inspire people to know that they can be happy, they can be healthy, they can get to the top of that mountain.

And they don’t have to do it alone.

It EXCITES me to inspire others up that mountain!

And here’s the interesting thing:

There are just a few core reasons why we stay stuck at the bottom of the mountain, one of the biggest of which is this:

We don’t value ourselves enough. We don’t think we are good enough. We don’t feel we are ‘enough’.

Does this ring true for you? Do you feel good enough? Do you feel you are ‘enough’? Enough for your self… enough for others?

Without exception, including myself, with all the clients I have worked with over the past 11 years, this is the core, overriding issue at the bottom of unhappiness and illness. 

We simply do not feel good enough. We walk around with low self-esteem, low self-worth, low self-confidence, most of the time not even realizing we are doing so because we’ve been doing it for so long it has become our ‘normal’.

But here’s the problem:

If we do not value ourselves, we can never be truly happy or healthy or authentically successful. 

And low self-value leads to unhappiness and even eventually chronic illness.

Why?

Because when we do not value the truth of our wonderfulness, (yes, that phrase will feel uncomfortable if you cannot yet resonate with it as a truth), we will constantly do things to negate ourselves, put ourselves down, make ourselves feel bad, and allow others to treat us less than respectfully. We will abuse ourselves and allow others to do so too. We will constantly strive to be better, do better, feel better. We will push ourselves harder and harder, trying to be ‘ok’, but nothing is ever good enough! It’s exhausting. Right?  And so we unconsciously become the bringers of our own doom.

So what is the answer?

To learn to love ourselves, respect ourselves, VALUE OURSELVES. YOURself. That means you. Yes you.

So this is why I love one of the methods I use a lot to help people transform their life.

I love it because it teaches people how to value themselves, and when they start valuing themselves, their life transforms in front of their eyes for the better. In hours, days, weeks…

This method teaches people how to BE different in the world. How to behave true to themselves. It gives them the PERMISSION they never had as a child to be themselves, to be authentic. What a gift! To release one’s authenticity.

This method teaches YOU how to value yourself, put yourself first without feeling guilty, make yourself a priority in your life and feel good about it, how to say no rather than yes all the time, how to honour yourself, how to be assertive with ease, how to communicate your needs with others, and so much more.

And what is the result of this?
The result is we start to feel good about ourselves, maybe for the first time ever. We start to re-empower ourselves after years of giving our power away to others. We start to feel happy and healthy, maybe for the first time in years!

In fact the results of these simple techniques are extraordinary.

Depression lifts, anxiety transforms, and symptoms of illness disappear.

This is why I am such an advocate of this method.

Not only does it show people how to recover their health without any medication or supplements, but it does so by showing people how to take back control over their life. It shows them that it is their right to feel good about themselves, to put themselves first, to be happy, to do what is right for THEM.

So the wonderful thing about this method is that it serves a dual purpose:

1. It shows people how to value themselves, how to re-empower themselves, to look after themselves, and in doing so clears symptoms of anxiety, depression and unhappiness.

2. By doing all of the above it also helps people reduce and clear symptoms of chronic debilitating pain and fatigue, which were all brought on as a result of not being true to oneself.

How exciting and amazing is that? In a world which mostly tells us we have to take a pill to deal with chronic symptoms, this therapy shows people how their body and mind are the most magnificent self-healing machines, which , when given the right conditions, will bring themselves back to their natural state of health and harmony.

Which brings me to this…

The world’s FIRST EVER live group online Mickel Therapy coaching program will start in 3 weeks time…

All the details of my upcoming program are in this video and the info page which you can reach from the video page.

The most important things to know are this:

  • If you are looking for a step by step, pain by numbers technique for learning how to value yourself, say no without feeling guilty, put yourself first, create healthy work-life balance, be assertive, overcome the fear of speaking out, stop allowing others to take advantage of you, stop putting up with unfair treatment from others... then THIS is the program to do!
  • And if you want to know how to recover from a chronic illness, pain or fatigue condition, the tools in this program are a MUST. I have not yet met one client in 11 years who did not need to learn and apply these strategies! Not one!
  • I am offering a massive-value earlybird signup deal, including bonuses, which runs out in 24 hours… as you will see, the timer is literally ticking on the page… once the earlybird finishes the price goes up and this launch price will never be repeated.
  • If you want to pay by payment plan you can do so, but only if you sign up by the earlybird deadline – after that it is one pay option only. So if funds has held you back in the past, this option can help you make it super affordable.
  • Due to the enormous amount of time it takes to prepare and deliver a program of this calibre, this will probably be the only live Mickel Therapy group program I host this year.

I am so excited to welcome on board the people who have already registered for this course.

Will you join us if you haven’t already?

Go here to check out all the details

I really look forward to seeing you on the inside!

Cheers! Kim

‘One million FREE of CFS, chronic illness and ME’

‘One million FREE of CFS, chronic illness and ME’

200pix-freedom

This is about to be the new slogan for the revolutionary medication-free treatment developed by a UK medical doctor for recovery from long-term illness.

Specifically developed to address the conditions of Anxiety, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Adrenal Fatigue, Depression, Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), M.E / Post Viral Fatigue, Stress & more, several thousand patients worldwide have already fully recovered their health using this treatment.

In his book ‘Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, The Long Awaited Cure’, Dr David Mickel MBChB MRCGP explains clearly how and why symptoms of chronic pain and fatigue are created.

He describes how the hypothalamus gland in the brain becomes over-stimulated, going into a state of ‘overdrive’, which is the end-result of ongoing stressors driving the body into a state of ‘dis-ease’. A wide range of symptoms are often created in any number of the body’s systems (eg digestive, nervous, hormonal, muscular-skeletal etc). Whilst each patient will develop their own particular set of symptoms due to their individual propensities, most patients develop common, recurring symptom patterns such as tiredness, brain fog, tachycardia, restless leg syndrome etc. Hence how the labels of chronic fatigue ‘syndrome’ and fibromyalgia ‘syndrome’ were invented – a syndrome being the term for a group of symptoms which consistently occur together, or a condition characterized by a set of associated symptoms.

Whilst most doctors are still baffled by these conditions, Mickel Therapy has, to coin a phrase, ‘cracked the code’. It understands how ongoing unresolved emotions and stress affect brain chemistry, finally creating symptoms and eventually, if left unresolved, bringing a person metaphorically, and for some literally, to their knees.

Imagine driving your car at 120 kph in 2nd gear along a motorway every day for 20 years. How long is it likely to last before the engine gives out? Our body is no different. It can tolerate stress only for so long before it needs repair.

According to Mickel Therapy symptoms have a purpose: they are the body’s way of speaking words and it’s way of attempting to get its owners to address unresolved issues. During Mickel Therapy sessions patients are taught how to translate symptoms back into the ‘emotional communication’ their body is sending them, and then take constructive ‘action’ so the body can stop sending the communication (emotions and symptoms).

Once understood the process is remarkably simple. A few doctors have trained in the process after having recovered themselves from CFS and chronic illness using the techniques. Patients are often astounded by the speed at which they recover once they understand the real cause of their symptoms, which is clearly explained in the first session.

Many myths are also dispelled during treatment as to the intelligent purpose of symptoms:

For example, chronic fatigue is not so much a lack of energy, but rather an excess of suppressed emotional energy. Quantum physics has shown how physical matter, thoughts and emotions are at their core a form of energy, and inadvertently suppressing emotional energy will create exhaustion.

Another common myth is that CFS is caused by a virus. Nothing could be further from the truth. The virus tends to be the ‘last straw’ effect: by the time the body succumbs to a virus, it does so because the immune system has been so weakened it allows the virus in. However, the real causative factors usually start many years earlier, and are clearly revealed to the patient during treatment.

For the first time ever, people will have the opportunity to train as Mickel Therapists in Australia this April. The trainings are open to current and aspiring yet-to-be health professionals.

There will also be a Mickel Therapy Practitioner Training in Auckland, New Zealand in May.

MISPERCEPTION – THE MISSING PIECE?

Image

Do you believe you need to be ready and willing to believe in the possibility of recovery, in order for it to happen?

Sometimes when I tell people I can help them recover from chronic illnesses deemed ‘incomprehensible and incurable’ by conventional medicine, they look at me in disbelief.

And then when I add it’s possible to do so without the use of medication or any external aids, their eyes glaze over.

And sometimes it’s just too much for them altogether and they change the subject or walk away.

These people may be desperate to heal their physical or emotional pain – so why is it so hard to believe it’s possible?

Could it be due to our perceptual conditioning?

Many of us have been unconsciously programmed to think it may be difficult to recover from chronic (long-term) illness, and also that conventional medicine has the only or best answers.

With 15,000+ hours of training and practical application with clients in the most cutting-edge health methods available today, plus my own recovery from CFS, clinical depression and a long list of other complaints, I now KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that there are many solutions for illness recovery beyond our Western medical paradigm.

So today I want to talk about how we can blind ourselves to these possibilities without even knowing we are doing so!

Do you live ‘in your own little world’?

Have you heard of the story of the indigenous people who could not see the tall ships of the European explorers anchored out to sea?

In the film ‘What the Bleep do we know?’ Candice Pert describes how “When the tall European ships first approached the early Native Americans, it was such an ‘impossible’ vision in their reality that their highly filtered perceptions couldn’t register what was happening, and they literally failed to ‘see’ the ships.”

She continues: “South Americans could see the boats that the explorers landed in, but not the ships anchored offshore. Their shaman stared out to sea and by imagining what he was looking for, was finally able to make out the ships. He was then able to point them out to others, until at last everyone could see the ships. The shaman could do this because he alone was open to the possibilities of strange things from other worlds”.

The story actually traces back to Captain Cook and his landing in Australia in April 1770. When Cook arrived off Australia, his ship drew no reaction. According to the historian Robert Hughes: “It was the largest artefact ever seen on the East Coast of Australia, an object so huge, complex and unfamiliar as to defy the natives’ understanding.”

Here’s another way to explain our limited understanding of what is possible in life:

In her book ‘Dancing in the Shadows of the Moon’, author and nature expert Machaelle Wright describes how all of reality is available to us at any one time.

However, according to our own individual ‘level of consciousness’ we can only handle a certain amount of ‘reality’ at one time, and we all have our own individually callibrated safety mechanism around our perceptions and awareness called a ‘ring-pass-not’.

This safety net prevents us from experiencing levels of reality we are not yet ready to experience. And when we are ready to experience more of reality (or ‘truth’), this ‘ring-pass-not’ will expand to allow more ‘reality’ in, allowing us to suddenly and miraculously see, understand and percieve things we previously did not know existed!

This happened to me back in my 20’s. After a so-called ‘nervous breakdown’ and several years of sorting out my ‘life issues’, I came to see how the ‘breakdown’ was exactly that: a breakdown of old limiting beliefs and a ‘breakthrough in consciousness’ – a breakthrough to a greater level of understanding of life – and ‘reality’. That was when I started to explore natural therapies and look for solutions beyond what I call the ‘mainstream medical paradigm’.

Of course we don’t all have to go to the extreme of having a breakdown for change to happen, although sometimes it can really feel like that when we are going through challenging circumstances, but we do need to see things from a different point of view in order for transformation to occur.

In Albert Einstein’s words “We cannot solve a problem from the same level of reality from which it was created” – it’s just not possible! Which is why new, cutting-edge therapies such as Mickel Therapy are having such a tremendous effect because they are breaking through the old paradigms and worldviews of what is possible. They also understand what really needs to happen in order to reverse illness back into health.

So is it possible we blind ourselves and prevent healing simply because we cannot ‘see’ or believe it’s possible? I believe so!

Again and again I listen to people with chronic illness talk about their symptoms and focus on their problems. And when a solution is offered, one that has been proven to work, they are often deaf and blind to hearing it. And there are very good reasons for this, which cannot be covered in this blog today.

What I can say is that the clients I find recover quickest and easiest are those who decide that staying in pain is more painful than what it will take them to move beyond the pain. They reach a point where they say “that’s it, I’ve had enough, I’m willing to do something different, I’m willing to have a new perspective and I surrender to change”.

And as soon as they do this, new opportunities immediately come their way, and often that is when they find Mickel Therapy popping up in front of ‘their eyes’ in the form of a flyer or website.

Are you ready for lasting, positive change?

So if you have been unwell for a while, searched for answers and not yet found them, I invite you to ask yourself these questions and give a rating out of 10 for each one (0 = no I’m not ready, 5 = sort of ready = 10 = absolutely):

  • Am I ready and willing to change and for transformation to happen?
  • Am I ready and willing to learn the lessons my body is trying to teach me through this pain or fatigue?
  • Am I willing to see the truth of what has brought me to this place in my life?
  • Am I ‘interested’ in changing, or committed to changing?
  • Am I willing to make the necessary changes I need to make so my body no longer needs to send me symptoms?

If the answer is yes, this will be the first step in your recovery and a turning point in your life! And of course Mickel Therapy is there to help you change and teach you exactly what those next steps are.

To have or not have…. healthy consciousness. That is the question

“There may be many factors in the creation of illness,
but for sure the consciousness plays a big, and often directive, role in the onset of illness”.

Master Yuan Tze, Qigong Master

Recently I have been diving deeper into the concept of ‘healthy consciousness’. Ren Xue – or Human Life Science – has a profound understanding of the nature of health and disease and provides an excellent roadmap on what we need to do to recover health if we have lost it.

One of the core precepts is that we need ‘healthy consciousness’ in order to be healthy, because most, if not all, illness has its roots in the consciousness. Whilst it may be difficult for some to understand that illness starts at this level, (because most people are experiencing their pain or symptoms in the body), the reality is unhealthy beliefs and mental and emotional patterns, which are part of our consciousness, play a huge role in the creation of illness.

Rather than going into the negative aspects of what our consciousness can contain, here are some of the key concepts of a healthy consciousness, which are the foundation and prerequisites for true health and happiness:

I AM ALREADY HEALTHY.

This is an absolute knowing that YOUR ESSENTIAL NATURE IS ALREADY GOOD HEALTH. Yes, we are innately healthy at our very core. Whilst many people today have become professional patients, the truth is good health is our natural state. To give you a mental picture of ‘good health’, one can compare it to the fact that the sun is always behind the clouds even on a cloudy day. It is ALWAYS there. If there are clouds (illness) in the way, the clouds can and WILL move away to reveal the sun. This means if we are not experiencing good health, there must be something getting in the way of the natural state of true health manifesting. Usually this ‘something’ is quite unconscious, because after all, who really wants to not feel good? We will come to what this ‘something’ is in a moment.

I AM HAPPY.

An absolute knowing that at your very core YOUR ESSENTIAL NATURE IS HAPPINESS AND JOY, no matter what the external circumstances are. True joy has nothing to do with anything going your life. It is your essential nature. And again, if we are not experiencing this, it’s because something is getting in the way, a bit like clouds covering the sun: most people say ‘the sun came out today’ when the truth is the sun is always there, it’s just sometimes obscured by clouds.

OPENNESS.

An open heart. We must be open to the world, to others, to ourselves. The opposite of openness is closedness, and many of us ‘close’ our hearts without realizing it as a result of past hurts. Unfortunately we do ourselves a disservice in the process. When we are closed, not only can this lead to ill health, but we will feel disconnected from people and life. When we are open, we will feel supported and connected with all of life.

GRATITUDE.

To be grateful for everything in life is to have a focus on what is good. It can be so easy to get stuck in a pattern of negativity, criticism and seeing what is wrong. But we have a choice – we can see the glass half empty, half full or even full. It’s all up to us. Practising gratitude can change your life: try it for a week: when you go to bed at night, go through the whole day and notice what you can find to be grateful for. It changes our body chemistry and how we view life.

HUMILITY.

We must learn to be humble, to put ourselves ‘lower’. This does not mean we make ourselves meaningless or small compared to others. The opposite of humility is arrogance, and arrogance is really a high state of ignorance. When we are arrogant we become very narrow-minded and are closed to new information coming in, to learning more. Humility keeps us open to learning and growing.

RESPECT.

We must respect all of life. This includes ourselves, others, nature, the whole universe. True respect means we value all of life, and see the beauty in living everything. This reminds me of the title of one of my favourite books by Maechelle Smallwright ‘Behaving as if the God in all life mattered’.

TRUST.

We must trust ourselves, others and life. The opposite of trust is distrust, doubt, scepticism. When we mistrust we close ourselves to life. Many people have low levels of trust as a result of being hurt as a child, either mentally, emotionally or physically. If this is the case, we have to learn to open ourselves up again to trusting life, because when we do we will find there is more support than we could have imagined.

LOVE.

Self-love is a basic, inborn human instinct, but many of us have lost this ability. We must love ourselves, others, nature, the universe. Without realizing it many of us our failing to love ourselves and spend most of our time seeking love from others. The two go hand in hand. If you do not have love for yourself, you will feel that lack and unconsciously seek it in others or external factors, until you start giving it to yourself. Then the paradox is once you love yourself more love will come into your life, because you will be attracting it naturally magnetically, because it is what you are at your core.True self-love means we are NOT DAMAGING OURSELVES. THIS is the ‘something’ I referred to in point 1 above. True self-love is manifested in the action of no self-harm. The opposite of self-love is therefore self-harm.

So how do we unconsciously damage ourselves? With our behaviours, which includes our mental thought patterns and actions. It all comes down to whether our life behaviours are healthy or not…

HEALTHY LIFE BEHAVIOURS.

In order to be healthy we must have healthy daily habits which are a manifestation of self-love and self-respect. Every action and every thought can either have a positive or negative consequence, because we live in a universe of cause and effect. EVERY action has an effect. So is what you are thinking or doing benefiting – or damaging – your life? It can only be one or other!And whilst some of these patterns can be easy to spot if we put our mind to it, others are trickier to notice. So we have to become very aware of our habits and the effects they are having on our body-mind. Does watching 2 hours of TV a day really serve you? Does your liver really appreciate that cup of coffee in the morning? Do your worrysome thoughts benefit you? Every action has to be assessed in the light of is it healthy or not. As you can imagine this is not an overnight task and require deep introspection and observation.

CALM, RELAXED, NATURAL.

Our natural state is to be calm (of mind) and relaxed (in the body). When our mind is calm our body can be relaxed. We feel a deep sense of peace and wellbeing when we are in this state. Unfortunately most people are too busy rushing around to experience this often and have forgotten what it feels like to be truly calm and relaxed. One of the main culprits of this is the over-use of our external senses: seeing, hearing, speaking all drain our energy and take our attention externally rather than keeping our attention inwards. We should be able to go about our daily business with our mind centred inside…

UNIFIED.

According to TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and even more so Classical Chinese Medicine, a human being comprises of 3 core elements: Jing, Qi and Shen.Jing is the body, Qi is Qi (energy, life force) and Shen is our consciousness and mind.

When all three are in a ‘unified state’ we feel very calm, peaceful and safe, and we do not lose our Qi (energy). Preserving our energy is an essential behaviour if we are to prevent illness. Most people are unconsciously draining their energy through daily activities which deplete Qi, in particular through the use of the senses (sight, talking, hearing etc). In Qigong we learn how to stop the damage and preserve / build up our Qi.

So, these are a few items you can get going with to ensure your health or recover it if it has been temporarily lost.

Wishing you the best of Qi.

You will want to change them when you realize that each thought creates according to its own nature.

Therefore, start now to think only those thoughts that will bring you health and happiness”. Paramahamsa Yogananda
