Healing Is an Inside Job: How True Wellness Begins Within
When you cut your finger, what do you do?
Most of us put on a band-aid and then forget about it. A few days later, like magic, the cut has healed. But was it really the band-aid that healed the wound?
No. It was your body’s innate healing wisdom, the internal intelligence that knows exactly how to repair, rebalance, and regenerate without you needing to know or understanding the process.
This same inner wisdom also exists when it comes to deeper, more complex health challenges. From chronic stress, pain, anxiety, fatigue, or dis-ease, all these issues can have a deeper cause. But unlike a surface wound, these deeper issues often require us to look within to access and activate our healing power on many levels of us: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
The Hidden Roots of Dis-ease: Patterns, Programs & Beliefs
So often, my clients come to me with symptoms that seem purely physical on the surface: burnout, insomnia, chronic pain or illness.
But when we journey inward using Reiki, intuitive healing, Herbal & Bach Flower Remedies, and healing frequencies (like sound bowls), we often discover something profound… these outward symptoms are messengers pointing to unconscious patterns, programs, and beliefs that have been shaping our reality since childhood.
The Zero-to-Seven Window: Your Original Programming
From the moment we’re born until around age seven, our subconscious mind is like a sponge, soaking up experiences, beliefs, and emotional imprints from those closest to us (parents, siblings, caregivers). These early years are when we build our ‘inner operating system’, the belief systems and emotional responses that run in our subconscious mind, shaping how we see the world and ourselves.
Just like you would install essential programs on a new computer, your brain downloaded emotional and behavioral responses during this time (your essential programs!) and they’ve been shaping your thoughts, actions, and sense of self ever since.
Let’s reflect…
Did you experience a significant family shift as a young child? The birth of a sibling, loss of a loved one?
Was there a lot of stress due to moving house, a trauma, or other major changes in your life?
Were there beliefs instilled around worthiness, love, safety, or success?
Even seemingly minor disruptions during this critical phase can become embedded as part of your subconscious programming, silently influencing how you respond to life, relationships, stress, and even your own health.
As we experience different situations, our brain uses these subconscious programs to then create meanings about what has happened in our life. For example: “We moved house” and what that means to me is that “my opinion on moving was not heard or valued because we moved anyways”. Your brain tries to make sense out of this statement by searching for other situations where your opinion was not valued. Then if your brain focuses on this meaning, it can find lots of evidence where this was ‘true’ and it now becomes part of your subconscious belief system. (This is your Reticular Activating System in action… a topic for another post!)
This is where true healing begins: in recognizing and gently rewriting these old scripts that may no longer serve who you are becoming.
Healing Isn’t Just About “Fixing”… It’s About Remembering
Your body already knows how to heal.
What’s often in the way is what we’ve unconsciously learned to believe about ourselves:
“I’m not good enough.”
“I can’t rest until I prove my worth.”
“My opinion is not heard or valued.”
“I’m too sensitive to thrive in this world.”
These aren’t just thoughts. They are patterns from the subconscious that shape our nervous system, hormone production, immune response, and cellular function. When we carry limiting beliefs, the body feels it as ‘true’ and responds according to these subconscious patterns.
Healing is about returning to your natural state of balance. It’s about uncovering, releasing, and transforming the patterns that block your innate wisdom. We are all here to grow, and the challenges that we have faced are opportunities to see & unlearn old patterns and learn new ways of being with our thoughts, words and actions.
