What are you gaining from your injury or trauma?

Sometimes injuries and past traumas don’t heal or resolve themselves no matter what healing or therapy we try. Why does that happen? What is getting in the way of this healing? Is it because you are gaining something, subconsciously from this injury or situation?
I’ll share with you a recent example from my own life. Last Christmas Day I stepped off my brother-in-law’s deck into a large hollow in the lawn and badly rolled my ankle. It was so bad that I went and had x-rays taken just to make sure it wasn’t broken. Luckily for me it was just a very bad sprain and not a fracture. It took a LONG time to heal even with physiotherapy which did help immensely it was still not completely healed 8 weeks after the initial injury.
Having this injury had impacted on mine and my families entire summer holiday. A lot of times I didn’t want to do things I would normally do because my ankle hurt, or I was worried about re-injuring it. It wasn’t until after my Physiotherapist had given me the all clear and I still had pain and frustration about my ankle I started to ask myself the question ‘What am I gaining from this ankle injury?’
Some of the answers were:

  • ·         Sympathy and support from my family
  • ·         I have an excuse, so I don’t have to do things around the house or with other people
  • ·         I can play the victim when it suits me – ‘Poor me’ mentality
  • ·         I got to rest and be at home and have a quiet summer
  • ·         A lot of Frustration at not being able to do things
As you can see from the above list there seemed to be more positive pay-offs from my ankle not healing rather than negative ones. So now I have this information what was I doing to do with it??
I decided that I would rather have my ankle heal than to put up with even more recovery time. So, I ran a few verbal energy processes. So, I asked the question What would it take for me to give up all that I am gaining from holding onto this ankle injury? Am I willing to give up everything I have gained by playing the victim in relation to my ankle injury? I then ran the Access Consciousness clearing statement. And wonderfully and suddenly my ankle felt a lot better.
So, in future when you are suffering a long-standing issue that doesn’t want to resolve itself after treatment perhaps consider asking yourself what you are gaining from your issue or injury not resolving itself? You never know what your subconscious might be playing at behind the scenes!!

  * Creating Space * 2022 * In the practice of Nia we ‘Create the Space’ in our trainings, meetings and sometimes before class. It is a mindfulness practice that allows us to eliminate distractions. I am now choosing to enter a time where I will create the space for an extended period of time for myself personally & for my family - within the year of 2022. Creating space will also allow me to remove unnecessary distractions and allow for clarity so that I can actualize my life and living anew. By giving myself and my family time to rest, reflect and renew I will be in a better space to offer classes, workshops and individual sessions when the time is right in the future. Thank you for your understanding and patience through this space. I may still share some words and images of inspiration and healing on my business FB pages from time to time if the feeling takes me. In practical terms individual sessions finished on Thursday 2nd December 2021. My last online Nia class was on W...

EFT Tapping and Access Consciousness Tools – a powerful combination.

Often, we are taught tools or techniques that may help us but how often do we actually use them? We forget them after a time, then we think – how do I do that again? However, if we take tools in their simplest form and combine them with other simple energetic techniques we create a heightened synergy and then we create something greater as if by magic. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a simple process of tapping on various end points of meridians on our face, torso and hands and is combined with affirmations and repeated verbal phrases.  Access Consciousness uses loads of tools – but one of the simplest is asking questions. When we ask a question without the aim of answering it, it opens us up to other possibilities in our life. If we tap on the EFT points and repeat a question while we tap on each point it can lead to an awareness of a possibility with that area we are asking about.  For example; a great question to ask is ‘How does it get any better than this?’...

How Access Bars changed my life

My first experience of the Bars was in my first Bars class - I felt a great sense of peace and deep relaxation I hadn't experienced before. It also released trauma from my body and mind in relation to an accident I had 15 years ago - it came flooding up in waves of gentle tears and was washed away with the Bars. This experience was life changing - I felt invigorated, energised and so excited that I had just learnt a technique that I could share with others in my life and also with my clients. 2 years after that class I am now a qualified Bars Facilitator so I can now teach the Bars Class. I have been having my Bars run every week for most of 2017 (about 8 months) which allows me to be fully present in my life and have an ease, joy and flow in my life that I have never had before. Sometimes the changes I experienced with the Bars were small and subtle but now I look back to what my life looked like 2 years ago - the change over this time is huge, dynamic and phenomenal - what wou...
