33 : The mind can heal, or the mind can harm with Gary Ramsey

Since October 2021 Gary has been sharing his journey through his second cancer. He has inspired and shown the way for all of us as he has navigated the ups and downs of this journey and healed himself of brain cancer. Fast forward to July/Aug 2023,  Gary’s cancer is causing issues for him. He is in a lot of pain, can’t sleep and has been having breathing issues at times. For most of us this would create stress, tremendous suffering, fear and quite frankly freak out. Remarkably however, Gary is able to navigate this really rough situation with unrelenting Faith, Peace, and Grace. He is applying all that he has taught us.  In this Episode he talks us through how he does this and how he has applied the Alexander Technique. He also shares with us what his next steps are.

These are the highlights of what he shares :

·       It all starts with the mind he says. The mind is the ultimate healer which will give you the courage and strength to keep going against all odds, there is always a way through it if you believe it in your mind.

·       He accepts that ultimately, he is not in control. He has an intention for a certain outcome but accepts that our Body-Soul-Spirit has to follow what is ordained by the Greater Consciousness /God. He is in charge of his mind but not of the ultimate end result.

·       Gary does have times when it is very hard, and he starts freaking out, but he is able to take a pause and bring himself back to his practice.

·       He says freaking out = desperation= suffering. Whereas if you accept and deal with it then there is  no suffering.

·       It is important to stay in charge of your own journey rather than giving it over to someone else.

·       He is able to sit in the paradox and surrender to the uncertainty.

·       He has no fear of dying.

·       He sees it all as a Blessing and says it will lead to something greater whether it is in life or death.

·       He is at peace peace with the ultimate outcome even if it is death.

·       He is grateful for what is still good rather than focusing on how bad it is.

·       Gary sees it all as Grace and it all as a Blessing.

“ You have got to know that there is always a way out, but you have to know the trick”  Gary says.

The trick for Gary is the Alexander Technique and, in this Episode, he talks us through how he applies it to take control of his mind when he is in terrible pain, can’t breathe or sleep.

This Episode is evidence that Gary truly is one of the most remarkable Spiritual and Self -Help teachers of our time and we know we can trust what he brings because he is able to live it in a truly “horrible” situation.

We can overcome anything, absolutely anything, if  we are in charge of our mind, body, brain system, in a full and deep manner.

This might just be the best Episode that Gary and I have recorded together.

According to Spiritual Mystic, Andrew Harvey, this is a time of SAVAGE GRACE. He says we are experiencing a collective Dark Night of the Soul and as such we are experiencing individual dark nights. 

In this short 13-minute podcast I explore what a Dark Night of the Soul is, and how can it be the birthing ground of purpose, meaning and joy.  

The Dark Night of the Soul is a challenging period but one that ultimately leads to personal transformation and awakening. 

I would love it if you would take a listen and let me know what you think. I know it is editorially imperfect but the content I feel is good and true and so important right now. So please do share if it resonates.  

We chose to be here for this time of ferocious awakening  and we cannot fence sit anymore.  We can do this - together !

A lot of this content has been paraphrased from Andrew Harvey's  work. A link to his website below.

This topic is being talked about a lot at the moment which is very exciting. At this time in history with so many external pressures and many people experiencing health issues, now more than ever, it is critical that we take back our power and empower ourselves to become our own healers. The world has unfortunately not encouraged us to participate in our own healing.  We have been conditioned to give over our own inner power to outside healers. Gary says each person’s journey to healing is unique so outside help can play a role, but until we can access our intuition and higher self, we will not be able to know what we need to heal.
Gary has been practicing this for a very long time in his own life. To the point that he can heal himself of terminal cancer, has no fear no matter what, always sees a silver lining and can rise above the awful.
Gary does get outside help but also takes full responsibility for his own healing. To quote him, “If you are not participating in your own healing, in what you want and where you want it to go, then it’s not going  to  go well”. Gary is convinced that those who heal are committed, patient and are their own advocates. They use their own Spirit, inner guidance, and Soul to navigate life and healing. There is always a way he says, but it is up to us to find it, we will not find it outside ourselves.
In this Episode Gary takes us through what it means and what is required for us to be our own healers. Knowing what Gary brings in this Episode could truly save your life or at the minimum really change it. I don’t say this lightly as I have used what Gary teaches to stop a very severe anaphylactic reaction that was choking me. Without using Gary’s wisdom, I am sure I would have been in some very serious trouble. So do take a listen and take note of the wisdom and tools that Gary shares as he guides us through what it means to become our own healers and how we can do it !!!
Let us stop giving away our power to anything outside of ourselves. We find it hard to believe that we have this massive inner power. It’s time to break out of this programming. We are always safe and in control unless we really don’t believe it.  It’s up to us as individuals !!!
We are magnificent no matter what and we are all powerful, far more than we realise !! Gary takes us through how to access this and how to live in this space.

We have a physical body, but we also have an energy body.  Our energy body is in fact the blueprint for our physical body. Loretta says it’s like the plan that the architect draws before he can build a house. This plan for our physical body is housed in our energy body. It is interesting to know that before things change in the physical or psychological body, they change in the energetic blueprint.

This energy body is unseen and so many do not even know that it exists, and it is completely left out in allopathic medicine and even in some complimentary medicine.

Knowing about it and how it works is important because it means that we can keep our energetic blueprint healthy and therefore increase our ability to keep physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy.

This one-hour podcast is a free master class that Dr Loretta Ferrucci has gifted us with.  It includes all the information that you need to know about our entire energetic body including all the organ energies. It is absolutely riveting and  includes some simple but great practical tools that we can implement straight away including an excellent visualisation.

Some things I never knew and have blown my mind are :

Ø  Each organ has its own energy (wow)

Ø  Our energetic blueprint is formed in the embryo (wow)

Ø  The liver controls your blood, and the blood transports the Light of the Soul (wow)

Ø  The stomach organ energy  is associated with thinking those repetitive thoughts especially the stressed ones (wow)

Ø  The heart says I will and the heart governs the brain function associated with joy (wow)

Ø  The kidney is the creator and is the reservoir of our life force (wow)

I had one wow after another in this Episode. I have highlighted just a few above.

Besides fascinating and important detailed information about the energy blueprint of our bodies, Loretta offers us a few great practical tools and a powerful visualisation so we can start the process of balancing and healing our energies. I have been practicing these each morning and night since we recorded, and it really has made a difference.

Dr Loretta Ferrucci is an experienced homeopath who is trained and experienced in the energy healing modalities of Jin Shin Jyutsu, Chinese medicine and acupuncture.

Let’s not sleep walk through life but live in alignment of what we want to create !

Ep 29 : Signs and symptoms are an opportunity to become your own healer with Loretta Ferrucci

Twenty-five years’ experience as a registered homeopath combined with her in-depth study and practice of many energy healing modalities means that Dr Loretta Ferrucci deeply  understands the mind- body -energy connection.

Lorretta says that our signs and symptoms are an opportunity to find the healer within ourselves. Inside each of us, she says, is an infinitely wise healer. One who is unbound by time, space, fears, assumptions, conditioning, stories, and limitations.  “It” doesn't have to conform to certain conditions before healing can take place and intuition guides “it” as to which path to take to heal (mentally or physically).

This so deeply resonates with me that I asked Lorretta to record an Episode. In this Episode she talks us through the five pillars of becoming our own “guru”, our own healer and offers some great advice and tools to get us on our way. It took me many, many hours of research over a five-year period to discover and implement what Lorretta has consolidated into a course called Whole Body Reset.

Now more than ever, it's time for us to learn to live our lives guided by our own inner guru (higher self, spirit, soul), rather than being slaves to the limitations, fears and stories created by our mind, conditioning and what is outside of us.

Want to know more?  Ready to start living from your limitless heart and soul? Take a listen to this mazing conversation I had with Lorretta.

Inside each of us is an infinitely wise healer. One who is unbound by time, space, fears, assumptions, stories, conditioning, and limitations. This part of us doesn’t have to conform to certain conditions before healing can take place.

I’m so excited to be recording a series of Episodes with Dr Loretta Ferrucci on this.  Lorretta is a registered homeopath with 25 years’ experience. This combined with her in depth study and practice of many energy healing modalities means that she deeply  understands the mind-body-energy connection. She fuses all this into a toolbox of practical techniques that not only enables people to transform and heal, but also empowers them to be their own healer.

In this series we will be exploring going beyond the physical to heal. This first Episode is an overall introduction and following on this we will further explore :

Organ energetics, the role of the subconscious in our health, what role the mind and thoughts play in our health, how fear and spiritual bypassing affect our health, why some people can cure the incurable and more.

Loretta keeps it practical and real, she takes the fluff  out of healing and personal development. Now more than ever it’s time for us to live our lives guided by our inner guru (higher self) rather than being slaves to the limitations, fears and stories created by our mind.

If you want to step into your true healing powers and access the healer inside you then take a listen.

There is nothing more important to true growth than realizing you are not the voice in your head, you are the one that hears the voice (Paraphrased from Michael Singer). In this Episode I talk to integrative consciousness and human potential life coach and inspirational speaker, John Homewood. John has a passion for inspiring and uplifting the awareness of people and in this Episode takes us through the understanding that we are not these voices in the head and that there is something much deeper than these voices. The pure awareness of these thoughts is who and what we are. Join us for this great conversation around this.

Gary and I were having a zoom catch up and spontaneously decided to record an Episode. It was the eve of Easter Friday 2023. Gary suggested the topic of resurrection which seemed very fitting.

This Episode turned out to mostly be an honest and profound share by Gary about his birth, childhood, and teenage years. Like many of us Gary had a very difficult childhood. Astoundingly though by age 5 Gary was already able to see lessons in the hardship of domestic violence, alcoholism, bullying, rejection and growing up too fast. In fact, he says,  this difficult childhood was great preparation and training for the larger crucifixions (terminal cancers) and resurrections later in his life.

You will be rivetted the whole way through as Gary shares details of his birth, childhood, growing up and how he was born “special” .  Gary says his life has been a series of resurrections and brings a message to all of us that the key to life is to have faith in the continuous renewal of our lives and resurrection from the old. This happens from the time we are born.
