So why is this SO important? ……our belief system/ subconscious programming determines our behaviours and our underlying emotional state. For instance, as I delved into the core of my own personal experience of chronic anxiety I discovered a ‘fear of the unknown’ combined with a ‘fear of what others thought’ which all led back to a negative core belief that ‘if I am not perfect I’m not good enough’!! Holy heck… no wonder I lived my life in a state of fight or flight for so many years!!! I was never going to feel relaxed if I had to be perfect in order to achieve this emotional state! Through re-programming my mind I now find peace in the belief that ‘my imperfection is perfect!!’

Emotions/Cellular Memories…

At the height of any powerful emotion, if we do not allow ourselves to fully express the feeling it becomes stored away in the body along with the memory accompanying this. Over time, these stored emotions become exhausting. Imagine trying to hold a beach ball underwater, how exhausted your arm becomes holding this down, keeping it hidden beneath the surface. This is what it’s like for the body. Suppressed emotions are a huge burden for the body to drag around each day. The more we push them down, the more burdensome they become (hence my tantrums now and then ) until eventually we feel like we may explode or have a breakdown, depending on the particular emotions being suppressed. The stored cellular memory is triggered time and time again when something happening in life today subconsciously or consciously reminds us in some way of the initial stored experience. This re-surfacing of a stored emotion is shown quite obviously at times we experience an ‘extreme’ reaction to something or someone and have awareness that our reaction was uncalled for. For instance, someone that has experienced a car accident and not found closure through expressing the emotion and finding forgiveness with all concerned may have a major panic attack at the slightest indication of another person braking in front of them etc. These ‘extreme’ reactions are a sign that something is wrong, there is dis-ease on the energetic/emotional level that needs healing and if we intentionally or unintentionally ignore this sign, eventually the blocked cellular memory/emotion manifests into a stronger signal in the form of a physical manifesting/dis-ease of the body.

Our cells are constantly replacing themselves and as each new cell comes along to replace the old, the memory stored in that cell is passed on to the new cell where it continues to express itself when triggered, initially via strong emotional reactions as mentioned and then, if this is continually ignored and suppressed, the physical manifestation. This might be as simple as an ache or pain to begin with as the body tries to gain our attention, manifesting into more serious dis-ease if we continue to ignore the body’s warning signals. Dis-ease in any form is our teacher, it’s our body’s way of giving us a symptom and showing us that there’s something we need to look at on a deeper level, in fact the word ‘symptom’ actually means a sign or signal of something deeper.\

Now this is where it all goes terribly wrong…..

The body has done a brilliant job so far of trying to tell us that there’s something deeper, something energetically, emotionally or subconsciously that is affecting us, a deeper emotional toxicity or physical toxicity that needs attention in order to bring back the balance, BUT instead of listening to our body, taking notice of its intelligent warning signs and working with it to find the CAUSE of the symptom, we have been falsely taught to trot off to the Doctor and get a pill or medicine.

What we haven’t been taught however, is that this only suppresses the symptom which, I will say again, is the body’s way of showing us there is something wrong!! The symptom goes away because the medication is designed to SUPRESS this, but it doesn’t get rid of the initial problem, a pill can’t make emotional or physical toxicity go away! Now the body has to look for another way of expressing a signal in order to get our attention and so more dis-ease and toxicity is created and our over-all state of health deteriorates.

If we embraced the body’s intelligence and the power of our own innate healing ability and took the time to go deeper, to find the CAUSE of the symptom by discovering the suppressed memory/emotion and sub-conscious belief at the very core of the physical or emotional manifestation, finding closure and healing through expression of emotion and forgiveness, the memory is released from the cells of the body forevermore and when the new cell comes along, there is no degenerative memory to pass on. This is why seemingly miraculous healings can occur in the time a particular organ or body part takes to renew its cells. Brandon Bays, the creator of the very powerful ‘The Journey’ emotional healing process that I adore, discovered this first hand when she embarked on her own journey of healing from a basketball-sized cancerous tumour of the uterus. By discovering the degenerative memory in the core of her tumour and doing the forgiveness work on this memory to bring absolute closure, combined with detoxifying the physical body, her cancer was completely gone in just 6 ½ weeks and has never returned!

Science has actually proven that our cells hold memories and this is shown clearly in case studies of donor recipients taking on traits of their donor. Studies have shown recipients who could suddenly speak another language after an organ transplant, of donor recipients craving foods they would never have previously eaten and of recipients that began dreaming and having memories of people they had never met, discovering after research that these were the family or friends of their particular organ transplant donor.
