Where Healing Begins

Published on

One of the things that continues to fascinate me on this path of healing is the deep connection between our physical body and the emotions we carry. This is especially true of the emotions we suppress, shut down, or never fully process.So often, ill health or disease shows up in a specific area of the body, and when we look a little deeper, we often find unresolved emotional energy stored there. Without clearing these emotional blocks or past trauma, the body can only heal so far … even with the very best medicine or physical therapies.

Annette’s story (in next blog) is testimonial to this!

Science is now catching up with what ancient wisdom has always known: we are not just flesh, blood, and bones. We are energetic beings. Quantum physics shows us that everything is energy, including our organs, our cells, and our thoughts. When energy becomes blocked or contracted in a certain part of the body, that area can no longer function optimally.

True healing requires us to go to the root cause of illness … not to just what is showing up physically. And not just manage symptoms as so often happens.

This is why, at Wind Spirit, we include Journey Work as an essential part of our fasting programs. Because detoxing isn’t just physical; it’s emotional and energetic too.

It has been shown scientifically by the work of Dr Candice Pert, that when we experience emotional stress, specific chemicals that she calls the molecules of emotion, are released into the bloodstream, affecting cellular communication and vitality in certain areas of the body. This renders  those cells incapable of communicating healthily with other cells and ultimately leads to disease.

I love  to offer Journey Work at our fasts, as it gently guides you, step by step, to uncover and resolve the original emotional imprint behind an issue. As these stored emotions are released, the cells are free to communicate, regenerate, and restore balance… allowing the body to heal.

“When we fast physically AND detox emotionally, healing accelerates. There’s no doubt. Detox deepens. And transformation stops being temporary — it becomes who you are!”
