EPI 52 - Part 3/3: Your Body Listens When You Speak - Harness Healing Energy

(0:03 - 0:23)

Hey, hey, welcome back to the Habit Within Podcast. This is your host, Camille, and this is part three of a three-part series about self-healing secrets and how you can really tap into your body's natural intelligence in order to heal. I feel like this is something that we just don't talk about.

(0:23 - 0:32)

We don't talk about as a culture. We don't talk about in the medical society. And I think the reason why is there's just so much stigma attached to it.

(0:32 - 0:47)

We've heard of the phrase pseudoscience. We look outside of whatever we consider as current science, as woo-woo, anything metaphysical, anything energetic. We label it as something that's ethereal and tangible.

(0:48 - 1:21)

But how come so many of us are drawn to different methods of healing, are drawn to the healing arts in a different way? And I pose that the reason why is because inside, somewhere deep within us, that we know it is possible. And it's not because we're grasping at straws or we're hoping for an alternative, it's because we truly know that there is something beyond what we can see currently as the truth. And that's really what we're doing here in this conversation is we're opening up possibility.

(1:21 - 1:52)

We're really asking ourselves, what if there was more? What if we can use this knowledge in tandem with what modern science has to offer? So science is defined by five parts. You have the observation phase, identification phase, the description phase, experimental investigation phase, and the theoretical explanation of the natural phenomena. It's a pursuit of knowledge and it changes because our pursuit never ends.

(1:52 - 2:06)

We're always looking to see if we can find more truths within what we know. And so it's constantly evolving. And this is where quantum physics fundamentally changed our understanding of science and the way that scientists see things.

(2:07 - 2:31)

Quantum physics revealed that on an atomic level, that particles behave radically differently than what we observe under a microscope. Quantum physicists observe that atoms can be in different places at the same time. They also observe that if you mess with one atom over here, that it affects another atom in a completely different area.

(2:31 - 2:38)

That's called quantum entanglement. It's fascinating. It actually reminds me of my son who is 13.

(2:38 - 2:52)

He is actually playing the star role in Willy Wonka. You have the chocolate bar and Willy Wonka zaps the chocolate bar and it sends it over to the TV and then once it's in the TV as a picture, then it comes out. You can grab it as a physical object.

(2:52 - 3:01)

You know, I mean, we're not too far off from that. And it's just really opening up our idea for what is possible. And that's what I'm wanting to do here in this podcast with you.

(3:01 - 3:43)

And really all I'm saying is that empirical science is limiting because although it can feel very safe for us to see something that's observable and have an experience with it, it doesn't really allow the subjective experience, the metaphysical questions that may come up, the quantum realm, if you will, it's really only as large as our human brain, our human knowledge. And I don't know, I've seen some really amazing magical things that have occurred that no one can put in this empirical science realm. Now, I'm not trying to convince you of anything, but I do love opening up conversations again and really looking at the what ifs in life.

(3:43 - 3:54)

So let's go ahead and explore more in today's podcast. And today we're really going to look at the energy of healing and how emotions, frequencies, and words matter. They shape your health.

(3:54 - 4:55)

So what if I told you that every thought, every word, every emotion that you feel is shaping your health at a cellular level, that healing is not just about what you eat, how much you sleep, or even treatments you choose. And I know for some of you who might have some sleep disturbances are like, hallelujah, so it's okay if I don't sleep well, or if I eat like crap, or even if I chose treatments that I didn't feel aligned with me, because something far deeper, something most of us have never been taught to pay attention to is occurring. And in the last two episodes, I shared my personal journey with healing and the science behind the physical actions I took, but today I want to really go beyond that, beyond the physical, because if you are listening to the third of this series, the third part in this series, then I know that something is resonating with you, that you get it in some way.

(4:55 - 5:09)

So let's have some fun and explore more because healing is not a mechanical process, it's an energetic one, at least in my opinion. This isn't speculation though. I really don't.

(5:09 - 5:15)

I feel like we have so much to back it now. It isn't just wishful thinking. It isn't just a hoping that things are different.

(5:15 - 5:20)

It's quantum biology. It's what I talked about at the beginning of this podcast. It's neuroscience.

(5:21 - 5:31)

It's the fabric of how life itself operates. So if you ever feel stuck, like you're doing everything right, right? You're doing everything right. You're eating the right foods.

(5:31 - 5:38)

You're moving your body. You're sleeping, but you're not seeing the change you desire. It may be because you're missing this piece.

(5:38 - 5:49)

And this piece isn't in the doing. It is in the being. It is in the unseen forces that affect your body every single day.

(5:50 - 6:06)

So today we're going to break it down. The emotions that you hold, the frequencies you're exposed to, the words you speak. By the end of this episode, my intention is that you not only understand why these things matter, but you'll actually feel it within your bones.

(6:06 - 6:25)

And hopefully you can feel my energy and my excitement about this podcast within my voice, within the frequency of my voice. That is the beauty of it. Just as if I came to record this podcast and I had lower energy, lower frequency, felt bad, like I did yesterday.

(6:25 - 6:49)

I was not, grace was nowhere to be found yesterday. So I'm very grateful that I'm feeling more present and grounded and joyful today so I can share that energy with you on the podcast. And I didn't record the podcast yesterday because I knew that just the way that my vibration, my frequency was being shared to you would affect you in your day as you're listening to this podcast.

(6:50 - 6:55)

So let's just imagine your body as a river. I love that analogy. Maybe it's because of a Pisces.

(6:55 - 7:32)

I don't know, but imagine your body as a river with energy flowing smoothly through every organ, tissue, and cell. Now imagine that this river is being blocked first by some pebbles, then by some bigger rocks, then massive boulders until the water starts to slow to a trickle, and then in some areas, there's some stagnation of water, and then maybe in some areas it isn't getting any water at all, or it's just getting a teeny tiny bit, and that teeny tiny bit is unable to nourish the land around it. That's Texas, y'all.

(7:32 - 7:38)

If you need a picture of Texas, that's Texas. A lot of Arroyo Ceglos is what they're called. Dry rubbers.

(7:38 - 7:59)

So that's what unresolved emotions do to your body. They cog up this flow of energy, creating stagnation at a physiological point. For those of you yogis out there, chakras are mentioned in the Vedic text, where you can have some stagnation in the flow of energy moving through your chakras.

(7:59 - 8:24)

If you want to look at it more on a biological level, you can think of it maybe as your vagus nerve having some stagnation, the vagus nerve is what stimulates our parasympathetic nervous system, which is all about rest and digest, the vagus nerve extends from the brain to the large intestine, and it passes through the neck, the chest, and the abdomen. Vagus comes from the Latin word to wander. I love that.

(8:24 - 8:40)

However, we want to look at the energy that moves through our body and whatever metaphor we want to look at. Dr. Candice Pert, a neuroscientist and pharmacologist, she discovered that emotions aren't just about abstract feelings in the mind. They are biochemical signals stored in your cells.

(8:40 - 8:48)

Joda Spenza looks at this work. Dr. Bruce Lipton looks at this work. But what Dr. Pert says is that she called them these molecules of emotion.

(8:48 - 9:20)

So cute. I can just picture these little molecules having emoji faces on them, and they attach themselves to receptors all over our body, influencing everything from your immune system, so how well you heal and if you get sick or not, and to your hormonal balance, which is beautiful to mention that when we're looking at perimenopausal state and how our hormones may be off, or maybe you are in postmenopause, Dr. Bruce Lipton and the biology of belief. This is the same person I've been speaking about in the last two episodes.

(9:21 - 9:31)

He talks about how our thoughts influence our biology at the cellular level. It's the same thing that Dr. Joda Spenza talks about. I mean, this is all over.

(9:31 - 10:03)

Our beliefs send these chemical messages to our cells, either promoting repair or reinforcing dysfunction. So chronic stress and fear and resentment floods the body with stress hormones, like cortisol and adrenaline, lowering our immune function, slowing healing, and rewiring the brain towards patterns of anxiety and negativity. Y'all, you can look this up, do medical journal, and then put in how cortisol can affect our immune system.

(10:03 - 10:19)

You can find the studies there if that is what you need, but here's the beautiful part. Just as negative emotions can disrupt our healing, positive emotions can restore it. So gratitude and love and joy, they aren't just these feel good states.

(10:19 - 10:30)

They aren't just lip service. They create biochemical shifts that enhance our immune function. They increase oxygenation and release neuropeptides.

(10:30 - 10:51)

So what's a neuropeptide? A neuropeptide is a short chain amino acid, and they can function as a neurotransmitter or they can function as a hormone. And a neurotransmitter is that chemical messenger that that sends signals between nerve cells and other cells in the body, like your muscle cells and glands and such. Oh, my gosh, I could keep going on and on about this.

(10:52 - 10:58)

It's important. We'll just leave it at that. So what did I do? So I began a daily gratitude practice.

(10:59 - 11:04)

I didn't force it. It wasn't fake. I really tried to switch over into this attitude of gratitude.

(11:04 - 11:14)

So I'd sit down and I'd write everything that I was grateful for. I would set my timer. I would say what I was grateful for and I would feel it in my body because that is the important thing.

(11:14 - 11:26)

And you can be grateful for everything if you really sit and take time to do it. So gratitude. And I studied things that made me feel healthy, whole and in control.

(11:26 - 11:34)

And so for me, that was looking into the works of Joe Dispenza and Bruce Lipton. And I could go on and on and on. But for you, it might be different.

(11:34 - 11:42)

For you, it might be the Bible. For somebody else, it might be the Bhagavad Gita. For others, it might be the Book of Mormon.

(11:43 - 12:02)

Whatever feels most resonant to you to where you feel like that you're living up to the highest version of yourself. So I believe that all the world religions are talking about one thing. I am not religious, but I am extremely spiritual, which I think some people can roll your eyes at that.

(12:02 - 12:25)

Whatever. I am not here to judge what you feel most aligned with, but I do feel like it is very important. And if science is the thing that makes you feel grounded and makes you feel whole, then really looking at the studies that will bring that out in you, as in looking towards quantum physics and what that can hold for the future of medicine.

(12:26 - 12:52)

But what I loved about Joe Dispenza's work the most, especially in his book, You Are the Placebo, he explores how the mind can trigger these physiological changes in the body and reinforce the power of emotional shifts. So when he started out, when Joe Dispenza started out, he was completely considered a quack. But I think through that adversity, it really made him want to prove this based on what we have in science now, with measuring brain activity, with blood work.

(12:52 - 13:16)

And so his work has really evolved and grown from where it was at the very beginning when I first even started reading about him. So again, this can all be tethered back to science if we'd like it to. So let's just move on here and talk about why the words that we speak is just as important as what we put in it, if not more important, because really this commands your body.

(13:16 - 13:26)

So I used to have this podcast called Health Care from the Soul, the Healer's Journey. You can still find it on wherever you listen to podcasts. And we interviewed some fascinating people.

(13:26 - 13:43)

And one of the women we interviewed was this anesthesiologist. And she spoke about how the way that she spoke with her patients would help them heal more quickly. She had been an anesthesiologist, I don't know, for 20, 30 years.

(13:43 - 14:04)

And so when she actually spoke to them while they were under and said, your body is healing, you'll recover well. She noticed that less of those patients returned to the hospital or had any sort of complaints. And I believe she said that she was going to start working with the hospital system in order to start researching this on a more formal level.

(14:04 - 14:32)

There's also this really good book that I'm blanking on right now, so I'm so sorry. But it was talking about when paramedics, so this is research that was actually done, the study that was actually done. And it was on paramedics when they were the first responders to the scene, that they spoke to the injured party and they said their name, that they had these credentials, that they were there to help and support them and that their body was starting to heal starting now.

(14:32 - 14:47)

So they would have them go to a happy place and think about that happy place while their body was healing. And so this is when they were preparing them to take them to the hospital and they saw that those people had quicker recovery. If I remember, I'll put it in the show notes.

(14:47 - 15:00)

It's a really interesting read. So our words matter. Your cells are listening, and I mentioned this in the last podcast, like every thought you think, every word you speak is sending instructions to your body.

(15:00 - 15:25)

Dr. Emoto's water experiments. Have you guys heard about that? You can Google them online. Of course, there's going to be some people out there that said that it's not reproducible, although there are so many science projects, school science projects that have been done based sort of on this concept, that you have these two plants and you speak love and affirmations to one plant and you speak hate into another plant.

(15:25 - 15:29)

You both, you water them both. They have the same soil. They're the same plant.

(15:29 - 15:37)

They have the same light. The only thing that you do differently is the way that you speak to them. And the one that has the criticism will die.

(15:37 - 15:57)

And the one that receives the gratitudes and love will thrive. And so this relates to Emoto's water experiments where he exposed water to different words and emotions like love and gratitude. And when he did that, then when he looked into the microscope, these beautiful crystalline structures formed.

(15:57 - 16:09)

But words like hate and fear caused more of a chaotic formation. Super fascinating. And this relates to us because our bodies are made up of 70% water.

(16:09 - 16:38)

So if words can physically alter water molecules, then what are they doing in our body? In Dr. Bruce Lipton's research, it showed that subconscious programming reinforced by language had this direct cellular behavioral changes. So if you repeatedly tell yourself, I'm sick, I'll never heal and all of that versus saying, I'm healing, my body is strong, I trust my body. This rewires your biology towards health.

(16:38 - 16:53)

So some of the things that I did when I was in my healing phase and still do it today is I speak to myself differently. I always speak about my body as healing. It's always, even when I have a cold or the flu or something going on, I'm always in resolution state.

(16:53 - 17:09)

My body is always working towards healing. And this is the most time I've used the word cancer, the C word, in years. Even putting it in this, even putting it in emails and in social media and things like that, I don't do it.

(17:09 - 17:14)

I say that I had cellular breast changes and I am healing. This isn't about positive thinking. I truly believe it.

(17:14 - 17:27)

My body is always working to heal. It's always working to go back to homeostasis. So why not give it a little kick in the butt to make it heal a little bit faster with more ease instead of being in its way like that big boulder.

(17:28 - 17:44)

And so sometimes what I had to do when I wasn't feeling it, when I was feeling particularly fearful, that's when I would go into breath work. That's when I would go into releasing and shaking and moving my body and moving my attention to something else. Because being in the fear state, which happens, I still do it.

(17:44 - 17:56)

Even to this day, I have retrained myself to think differently. Talk to yourself like you would talk to a loved one if you have no idea what I'm talking about. Just change that and in and of itself will do miracles.

(17:58 - 18:08)

And Dispens's work, he really emphasizes the power of mental rehearsal. So you want to visualize yourself saying these nice things to yourself. You want to visualize healthy cells growing.

(18:08 - 18:43)

You want to visualize yourself as well and not ill. My invitation to you is see if you can make one small shift, even if it's just speaking to yourself a little bit more kindly. When you look at yourself in the mirror, when you make a mistake, when you have a bad parenting day like I did yesterday, like I mentioned, grace is nowhere to be found.

And then rejoice and be grateful for the days that you do feel full of energy and life without having to constantly redirect yourself time and time again. And remember that your healing is not just about what you do. It's about who you become.

(18:43 - 18:58)

It's not in the doing. It is in the being. And before I go into my final thought, I have forgotten the past few episodes to let you know that at the bottom, like in the show notes, you will see a link to get a worksheet that ties to the episode for the day.

(18:58 - 19:01)

We're trying this out. We're seeing if it works. We're seeing if you guys like it.

(19:01 - 19:32)

So go to the show notes, download this week's worksheet. I'm calling it a bliss break where I actually give you these actionable items and things to think about and do in a way of being differently in order for you to take this knowledge, this information that I am sharing so you can apply it to your life so you see significant change. All right.

So if this series resonates with you, please share it with somebody who needs to hear it. Go ahead and follow me if you are not. That helps the algorithm.

(19:32 - 19:36)

Give me a five star review. That also helps. Contact me.

(19:36 - 19:46)

All the things. And always stay tuned. I'm working on something in the background that's going to help you take all of these principles and apply them in a more powerful and life changing way.

(19:46 - 19:51)

Again, go to the show notes and start putting all this into practice and I will see you next week.
