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!!

New possibilities – how do we create or attract them into our lives?

So many of us are longing for change – a better job, more money, greater relationships etc but we keep on doing the same things and wonder why nothing changes for us. As we all know that is the TRUE definition of insanity but we still don’t know how to change this!! W hy is that?   We can’t create something new from the same energetic space that we have created our current reality. If our point of view creates our reality (as taught by Gary Douglas and Dain Heer – Access Consciousness.com) then we have to change our thinking and our point of view FIRST before we can choose a different reality or to create something NEW in our lives.  Woah! So how do you do that? Simple, start working with any tools and techniques that help change your mindset, your constant thought pattern and your points of view. I said simple right? But so many of us still don’t know how to do that – Ok so let me explain in a little more detail – now you are interested!? I give you some example...

Treating PTSD in first responders with EFT

First responders are always first on the scene in case of emergencies which includes police, firefighters, ambulance officers, paramedics, nurses and doctors and also the general public. These can be traumatic experiences for all involved including the victim and the victim’s family too. How can we help first responders deal with the daily exposure to trauma to limit possibility of it becoming PTSD? EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a form of acupressure that is self-applied and can be used for treating everything from stress and anxiety to phobias and PTSD. It is a technique that is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese medicine in that it uses the same meridians and acupressure points. It is easy to learn and simple to apply and works very rapidly. I was thinking about this topic very recently after there was very dangerous situation that local police officers found themselves in – where they had stopped a vehicle as part of a routine check and were then fired upon by...

Reducing trauma for young children and infants

When they are born children begin to absorb and take on what is around them (the physical environment), the experiences they have (what they receive from their parents regarding food, shelter, warmth, clothing (basic needs being met) any interactions they have with other people (midwife, plunket nurse, GP, extended family, friends etc). These babies (infants) from the age of birth -6 years of age do not question their environment, interactions or if their basic needs are met or not all they do psychologically is to receive their experiences, no judgement, no rationalisation and sometimes no understanding. As they receive these experiences in their life they become stored in their building/developing psyche (subconscious mind-body system)– much like a hard drive of a computer, just downloading willy-nilly every minute of every day and storing that information away for future use. What this means in practice is there is a potential for developing babies, infants, toddlers and young ...
