Is serious illness a question of identity?
One of the big questions we ask ourselves when we are diagnosed with an “incurable” or chronic illness such as cancer, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis or other, is what part of us created this serious illness in the first place.
In fact, there are certain opposing postulates, depending on the medicine and method, between modern medicine and alternative or complementary medicine. One works actively on the symptom, while attempting to heal, the other works on the patient’s self-healing plans, supporting the body in its process of “cleansing” and freeing itself from serious illness.
Therefore, considering my practice as a hypnotherapist and energy healing practitioner, I focus on the aspect of cleansing the body and releasing what is preventing the body from healing itself.
An open wound, despite a bandage placed over it, if not cleaned and disinfected, will not heal, and will ooze out all the time, until it sinks deeper into the body and unfolds.
So, if we start from the premise that we are programmed for a purpose, and that our body is an incredible machine, illness and serious disease have no natural place in our body. Of course, we can die of old age and old age itself, but illness is not a natural axis.
Emotions, energy in motion, create blockages when they can’t pass through us, and anchor themselves in our bodies. Joy, sadness, fear, anger and many others have been part of our daily lives since childhood, and are not in themselves a problem.
In the case of serious or so-called incurable illness, the concern is that the clients I follow find themselves indentified with these emotions, these situations, or their illness. Some people even call her “My Cancer”, “My Endometriosis”, “My Multiple Sclerosis” as if she belonged to them.
How can we free ourselves from it if it’s part of us? it’s like my arm, my stomach… can you imagine cutting off your arm or your stomach? so what about “your cancer”?
In the same way, in energetics, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) or hypnosis, the path is similar in other ways to waiting for the patient’s self-healing threshold, accompanying him or her in “knocking his or her feet off the table”, i.e. disidentifying and releasing the energy blocked by emotions that have not been able to cross over.
Our identity with a serious or chronic illness is not only established at the time of the announcement, but is part of those who suffer from it, through the rejection and liberation of that which allowed it to exist in the first place.
Let me explain, you see, if a major trauma has been experienced or perceived, an emotion has been anchored in the body, creating blockages in various organs. So, this trauma is part of a memory, but not only that: it’s part of an emotion, an unfinished mourning (childhood stolen, life as a couple hoped for but never achieved, etc.). The body thus has a minefield on which it must advance, and the pains follow one another, moving, and revealing through the body’s language, what it has to tell you.
It is essential to note that no energetic treatment, hypnosis, E.F.T. or any complementary or alternative medicine can replace medical advice and follow-up, and that in the event of any doubt, medical advice is obligatory.
I don’t diagnose, because I’m not a doctor, and only doctors can diagnose and treat.
If you are taking medication, it is IMPERATIVE to consult your doctor before making any changes to your treatment, and it is essential not to make any changes without consulting your doctor.
A big thorn in the side, energy tourniquets, which we place on ourselves, and weakening the body little by little, it’s like a bandage on an untreated wound… how can it heal itself if the ground isn’t cleaned?
One of the methods I use, which requires a clear decision on the part of the patient, is to choose not to identify with his or her past and experiences. No, you are not your past, your traumas, your negative emotions, and so by changing perception, working on the emotion, releasing and letting it go, you allow your body to work, so that it can orient itself and find the path back to Health.
Allowing the ground to be cleansed will help the body, and if our incredible machine has the energy, and the means, to focus on healing instead of focusing its energy on negative emotion, then it can have 100% of the resources at its disposal.
The complexity of identifying one’s identity in the face of serious illness is that there comes a time when listening to oneself becomes paramount, and admitting that one has lied to oneself, without guilt, just a statement of fact, so that one can take another direction.
A turnaround, sometimes small, a small change of course, and sometimes radically opposite. What will the family say? spouse? Children? What if they were part of the problem? What about it? Are we going to listen to each other, or are we going to remain in the status quo, with the risk of dying along the way?
Sometimes this leads to big family changes, and sometimes it leads to a personal breakthrough that is followed by all members and an extraordinary new creation.
The fear, the comfort zone, the what am I going to do, how am I going to advertise this? how will they take it? And what if, in the end, it was all part of this constructed identity, and the path was simply that it all came from you, you who suffer from this disease. Simply by accepting the choices of others to the detriment of who you really are.
A process of rebalancing and profound disidentification from who we thought we were, from who I am… needing nothing behind it, in order to become who we are instead of who we think we are, enables us to align our path and find our way back to health.
We’re very fortunate in that our tools exist to support those who wish to do so. Working face-to-face, but for the most part on the move, either at home, or remotely by Visio or remote energetics, the results are strong, and wherever you are, whoever you are, you are not alone in facing this serious illness and situation.
I accompany you in all time zones, in French, English and Spanish, to help you resolve, release, untie, forgive and move forward in the face of these serious illnesses.
So, for your part, are you ready to disidentify yourself from a blockage? Trauma? Anxiety, phobia, chronic illness or so-called incurable disease?
