Studying
and training, some to certification and others to a level
of experience and understanding followed, alongside my NHS
practice. I trained as a healer, yoga teacher and studied
homoeopathy when my second child was acutely ill from birth
and needed incredibly diverse support to stay alive and
lead a normal life. He was also highly allergic to many
foods and inhalants which led to me studying nutrition and
reflexology as holistic therapies which I could work with
from a clinic at home with three small children. Manual
physiotherapy fitted in with this beautifully as I no longer
wanted to use any electrical machines.
Sadly,
my marriage was collapsing with so much hurt and pain
and I also had an acute/chronic back issue that no orthodox
or complementary treatment could clear. Emotionally and
physically, stepping into the field of Mind/Body healing
was an inevitable step. Things were also worsening with
my son with asthma, dyslexic and dyspraxic problems being
harder to cope with as he got older. He was not bad enough
to qualify for state help and as an outstanding athlete
couldn't train at a county level because of asthma and
nor could he go to music college with real musical talent
as he didn't have the life skills needed to live away.
- a no hope and no win situation!
My
husband and I divorced when my son was 13 and struggling
socially and academically. The group that did accept him
were the teenagers with the same problems and drink and
drugs crept in. Having been there as a parent, I know
profoundly the agony you go through when you can't stop
it and your "child" is now 6'4"! There were many sleepless
nights and chronic fatigue slowly got a grip, despite
what I knew to do nutritionally. I just couldn't clear
core worry and was out of resources as everything I knew
to help myself - I was already doing!
This
is the key-point when many people discover the Journey
- when they are desperate and all else has failed. The
Journey enables us to access and heal the memory stored
at a cellular level that gives rise to emotional or physical
disease. I had heard of cell memory and had uncovered
it sometimes with patients during a treatment. I didn't
know how to repeat it though - no road map. Brandon Bays
pioneered the Journey when she was diagnosed with a basketball
sized tumour in her uterus and she was healed in 6 weeks
with no drugs or surgery. Healings like this have happened
before but that she knew what she had done and how to
replicate it IS the issue. She went on to devise the Journey,
a unique process that can clear both emotional and physical
disease. Brandon also wanted it to be replicable and started
teaching the process at workshops. Dr. Deepak Chopra talks
about cell memory in Quantum Healing and, until Brandon's
discovery, there had been no sure way of accessing it.
Any
trauma stored in a cell starts with a shock, a dramatic
and acute conflict and sensed by the patient as overwhelmingly
serious. This will change the patterning of a cell and
over the years it can grow and become a lump as in cancer,
create changes in joints as in arthritis, organ damage,
CNS damage etc. Any cell in the body has the capacity
to store trauma and become malfunctional, to whatever
degree, including DNA. It may manifest physically and
can also manifest emotionally or mentally.
I
was brought up in Kenya during the Mau Mau and whereas
I was very capable academically and physically, I felt
powerless in the face of overt and cruel racism. I had
an Austrian Jewish nanny, whose husband died in Auschwitz,
and here too felt overwhelmed by the sadness and injustice
that the Jewish widowed immigrants lived with that I met
through my nanny. (Yes, a small child for their verbal
silence can be so emotionally traumatised as to cause
cell change). The powerlessness against great odds caused
cell change in my back and subsequently the chronic fatigue
too. It was this powerlessness that I was up against with
my son when nothing I did worked! Now, my back is completely
healed, I have no chronic fatigue and hypoglycaemia is
also gone. I started training and worked intensively with
Brandon and was in the first core group to become an Accredited
Journey Therapist. I was also the first person in England
to be asked by Brandon to start their own Journey-style
workshops. This I do now, plus running a private practice.
As
I healed, I had the emotional strength to get my son off
drugs and didn't leave him alone for 15 months as pushers,
contacts were everywhere. I literally became his buddy
and waited in the door of the barber till a hair-cut finished,
drove him to work and picked him up etc. This was essential
as he had lost a social life and would have relapsed without
this level of support. Drink came later and it was in
this period that he started doing Journey processes himself,
healing monumentous insecurity, lack of self -esteem,
hopelessness and much else. The results were so profound
and life changing that he took the Journey workshop with
Brandon Bays and later went on to help at workshops and
train as a Journey Therapist to accreditation level. He
was the youngest person in the world to gain this qualification
and toured on staff with the Journey organisation. He
is also qualified in childcare and drink, drugs, dyslexic,
dyspraxic and asthma free! He speaks on the radio with
me and is my P.A. at Journey workshops that I run. He
is also open to any level of testing that people would
like to put him through!
The Journey can work for anyone open to the possibility
that they can participate in their own healing process.
I still see some physiotherapy patients and some go on
to do Journeys. A lady recently presented with a long-term
painful neck and shoulders and went on to process with
me. The origin was violence from her father as a child
after her mother died and he wasn't coping. The teachers
at school refused to believe the bruising on her body,
from his beatings, and from that moment her grades dropped
and she lost any trust in teachers and authority in general.
She also could never gain any qualifications as a belief
of I'm no good and the teacher will let me down was running.
From that one process alone, her neck and back healed
and she now has qualified as an Accredited Journey Therapist.
To date, I have processed many thousands of Journeys with
clients and am always amazed at what is underneath a physical
or emotional disorder. Long-term sadness, grief, anger,
stress, addictions, fear and many other emotions can be
healed or helped hugely. You can also do a Life's Purpose
where someone understands the bigger picture of what has
been happening. Being a victim can be a very disabling
(and subtle) situation and the Journey can help sort this
out and find healthier ways forward. Neuro Linguistic
Programming (NLP) is also part of the training and very
useful where required.
This
leaves me as a practitioner with a very varied palate
to help people to whatever level they want to go, whether
they work on a one to one level with me or go through
the work shops with skills to swap with another graduate.
It is a very empowering and also humble place to be.
