In this Episode we talk through how important it is to be emotionally balanced and energetically coherent in order to stay healthy or to help ourselves heal.
We offer some quick and effective daily practices to achieve this.
The trick of the ego is that it has to be hard or expensive to help ourselves heal.
There is a definite place for good outside help and to pay for it. BUT, there are also simple, no cost, quick and effective daily practices that we can use in our own homes to create internal coherence.
Our bodies function optimally when we are internally coherent, it is also our best chance of healing ourselves if we are sick and helps us face lifeâs inevitable challenges.
Take a listen, might also help you face the âstressesâ of the upcoming festive season.

Are you using positivity in a way that doesnât serve you ?
Is it a coping mechanism or avoidance strategy which you use to sidestep situations that make you feel emotionally uncomfortable?
Are you pushing down, suppressing or discounting/denying difficult emotions?
Is this making you sick or hindering your healing ?
While positivity may seem like an effective way of coping and there are benefits to being optimistic and happyâŠâŠ.
In terms of health and healing, toxic positivity, which rejects all difficult emotions in favour of a cheerful and often falsely positive facade, can make us sick and hinder our healing.
In this excellent Episode Loretta once again takes us into the Paradox and inspiringly leads us through why it isn't realistic or healthy to be okay and happy all the time.
This may be more important to your health then you realise.

There are always two points of view in every situation, including health and healing.
In this excellent clip Loretta talks us through how to be with our current reality (our illness) in all its fullness and realness, but at the same time confectioning to the vision of the health we would love to create.
Being able to be with, and work with this paradox is a very important part of our healing journey.

Show notes
Ep 17 : Recognising and allowing anger
Anger has become stigmatised and is probably the most unrecognised or bypassed feeling.
But as we said in last Episode :
· Anger causes stress in our bodies.
· Anger arises to tell us that our limits are being overstepped or our needs are not being met.
So, it is important to be more attentive to anger. To to feel it and appropriately and safely process it.
If you know how it is possible to move it out of your body.
We cannot go straight to doing something in our body however, it starts with self-awareness and witnessing ourselves. From there we can make embodied choices to intentionally heal it.
It is about not reaching for whatever it is that numb or soothes it over (alcohol, drugs, eating etc) but rather creating a safe space, a container to feel it and safely deal with it.
In this Episode we talk through:
· How to become aware of anger and how to safely allow it.
· Creating a safe container for anger with nervous system regulation.
· Alexander Technique â a simple but powerful tool to calm the nervous system.
· A few very simple tools to safely release anger.
In the next Episode we will present in detail a step-by-step process to safely feel, process and express anger.

The topic of anger is big, complex and often raises questions and objections. It can also become a confusing paradox.
Repression of anger predisposes us to disease and the experience of anger has been shown to promote healing or at least to prolong survival.
When anger is disarmed so is the immune system, but when the aggressive energy of anger is diverted inwards the immune system becomes confused, our physiological defences no longer protect us or may even turn mutinous attacking the body.
The unregulated release of anger however, such as explosion, fury and rage are not only inappropriate and harmful to the recipients of it but can also be deadly to the one who rages. In general, high blood pressure and heart disease are more likely to happen in people who openly display hostility.
Appropriately and safely acknowledging, feeling & expressing anger is important to our health and healing. That is what this Episode is about.
We cover :
Anger is necessary and plays a very important role in our lives. Is something we all experience but by and large ignore. How to recognise anger and know the disguises it can come in. Repression and rage both represent a fear of the genuine expression of anger. It is important to go back to childhood. Anger compromises the immune system having a huge negative impact on our health. Suppression of anger increases the risk for cancer and other disease. Self vs non-self, boundaries, fear, perceived or real abandonment and unmet needs. Appreciation of nourishing inputs and the recognition of threats. Coping styles and anger. Expressing anger appropriately and safely. Healthy anger is an empowerment and a relaxation and leaves you, not the unbridled emotion, in charge.F.E.A.R - Face Everything & Recover Masterclass - Join us live on Thursday 7 November 2024. 6-8pm SAST or buy the recording including a manual, video and recorded tools. $27 or R450.00.

What message is your body sending you when it is in discomfort?
Is your nervous system trying to tell you something through symptoms such heart burn, indigestion, unspecified pain, sleeplessness, fatigue, panic, flaring anger, irritability or fear etc?
Could these sensations in your body be messages to let you know that you unconsciously feel unsafe or fearful for example ?
Is it possible that you are not attending to yourself and your body in the way that you should?
Be aware that emotions sit in the body.
Make a choice to listen to the messaging your body is giving you and then bring the body and yourself back into balance.
Create a container of space to heal rather than soothing or numbing by reaching for your favourite addiction to take your mind away from the discomfort.
Simple somatic practices can be a very powerful and quick way to get us back into balance physically, energetically, mentally and emotionally.
In this Episode I share a lying posture called STATIC BACK which brings me back into alignment within 15 minutes. It is simple and easy but donât underestimate its effectiveness.
Static back
Static Back is a simple and effective posture that helps relax and realign the spine while relieving tension in the back, hips, neck, and shoulders.
The main purpose of it is to allow the body to relax and use gravity to settle the torso down to the floor.
Static Back uses the floor as a template to bring the back, spine, hips, shoulders, head, and neck to a neutral position.
Static Back is one of the âsilver bulletsâ exercises for pain relief: whether itâs back, shoulder, neck, or hip.
How to do it
Get down on the floor, lie on your back, and put your legs on a chair, bed, or bench to create right angles at the hip and knee joints.
The upper legs should be against the chair and calves and heels on the chair.
Knees and ankles are hip width apart, feet relaxed.
Arms are palms up, at 45-degree angle from your body.
Relax and stay in this position from 5 to 30 minutes.
Important: breathe from your diaphragm â the abdominal area should rise as you inhale and fall as you exhale.
Static back comes from this book : Pain Free: A Revolutionary Method for Stopping Chronic Pain by Pete Egoscue.
Here is a You Tube Clip for Static back : https://youtu.be/p39wGYE_kJk?si=i_cSCMtWT1FGOyIX

A consistent daily morning practice can be a very important part of both physical and mental healing.
Visualisation with feeling is the daily morning practice that Antoinette started as part of her cancer healing journey. She says this was, and is, for her a very powerful tool for healing on all levels.
It is important to note that when you visualise, you must include the feeling of what you are visualising.
Linking any thoughts / visualisations with emotion is very powerful and helps to change you.
The subconscious plays out on our bodies, and we store our issues in our body, so even if you are not physically sick, itâs very powerful to do this to stay well and grounded.
If you are visualising yourself vibrantly healthy or joyful then evoke the feelings of these emotions. It is not always easy in the beginning to bring up the vision and even harder the feeling/s, but it will come over time.
Rather than making this daily practice something you must always get right, the most important is that you are consistent and do it every day. Prioritize it !
Sometimes it will feel hard or that you cannot evoke the feelings. Some days it will come easier and other days you may have many thoughts streaming through your mind which you canât stop. Most important is not to feel that you are then failing, but just notice this without judgement and let it be, just let the thoughts pass and try not to hook into them.
It will not always be the zen or super healing experience that you want it to be. But the more you do it the easier and quicker you get into the deep connection with your body, your Divine self, the Oneness and self-healing.
Antoinette does two daily visualisations :
1. A Golden Sparkles body scan
2. A future life visualisation
In this Episode she shares the Golden Sparkles visualisation technique, how it worked for her and how to do it. The future Life visualisation will be shared in a future Episode.
Golden sparkles body scan
Imagine zillions of golden sparkles. Imagine that each golden sparkle is filled with unconditional love, joy and vibrant physical, mental and spiritual health.
Start at the top of your head and then go through each and every part of your body and tell that part of your body you love it and then flood it with these golden sparkles. The intention is that the golden sparkles will transmute or heal anything mental, physical or emotional that needs healing
I start with my brain and I while I am in my brain I set the intention to positively change the neuroplasticity of my brain and renew my mind. Then I go through :
· -My lymphatic system.
· Blood vessels, veins, arteries and capillaries.
· Each and every organ in my body.
· My bones and joints.
· Muscles and tendons.
· My immune system â I see it strong and thank it for looking after my health.
· Central nervous system â I send golden sparkles for calm and peace.
· I visualise my PH level being a perfect 7.2.
If you are sick go into that specific part of your body, ask what it needs to heal, what itâs trying to teach you, what needs to change or be processed, see if it has a colour or shape etc. You will be very amazed at what may come up. Then flood it with golden healing sparkles to gobble up and heal any dis-ease.
The body holds all truth and so will give you guidance as to where your healing lies if you do this practice consistently. For example, the body may bring up a memory or stuck emotion as you are focusing on a âsickâ part of it, this will then show you where you need to do mental, emotional, trauma or spiritual work.
It can be very powerful if consistently used as part of your healing process.

Do you have something going on in your health that doesnât make sense ?
Are you really sick but cannot get a diagnosis ?
Do you have real physical symptoms that are negatively impacting your life, but you cannot get to the bottom of them?
Do you have a diagnosis and want to help yourself heal?
If so, it really might be worth investigating whether there is a disconnect or disharmony on an energetic level in your body.
If you are intrigued or this resonates dive into this Episode where Loretta talks us through the energy anatomy of our bodies.
If you feel this is absolute hog wash , take a listen anyway ! You might be surprised; this may just be a missing link in your healing.
Loretta explains that we have a physical body, but we also have an energy body.
Our energy body is in fact the blueprint for our physical body. It is 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 our 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 Episode includes all the information that you need to know about the energetic body, including all the organ energies.
Not only is it riveting, it includes some simple but great practical tools that you can implement straight away.
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.
We would really love to know what you thought of this Episode. So please comment or ask any questions. You can do this in the review section of podcasts, the comments section on You Tube or by email.

The impact of fear on the immune system cannot be underestimated.
In fact, it is most probably the greatest obstacle to healing and the single most overlooked factor in mind-immune conditions. Either for its direct effects (increasing levels of cortisol or adrenaline ) or for its indirect effects (causing people to give up, feel hopelessness, apathy, depression, failure to seek support and many other consequences).
It is also at the root of all the various issues you will need to deal with to heal including stress, expressing what you feel, and finding a sense of passion and purpose for the future
Experiments have clearly demonstrated the dramatic immunological benefits of confronting fear.
In this Episode we cover the following :
· Overview of why fear is the greatest obstacle to healing.
· Types of fear - There is a wide range of emotions â mild to strong â that fall into the general category of fear.
· Why fear such a powerful force in our lives.
· Techniques that work wonderfully for the âthinkingâ brain simply do not work for the âprimitive brainâ.
· How to work with fear, to feel it, but not to stay stuck in it.
We also discuss these 7 fear principles :
Fear can â and will â override more sophisticated thoughts and feelings
Believing you are in danger feels exactly the same as the real thing
Unresolved fear will keep your unconscious mind activated 24 hours a day.
There are two and only two things to do with a F.E.A.R :
F.E.A.R. = Forget everything and run (avoid and deny).
F.E.A.R. = Face everything and recover (deal with it).
Fear is nothing more and nothing less than the unanswered question âWhat if ⊠â
The sole purpose of confronting fear (including death ) is to increase feeling alive.
When dealing with feared possibilities, put as much energy into desired possibilities.
A lot of the information in this Episode was paraphrased from an applied psychoneuroimmunulogy called The Healer Inside you by Neil Orr and David Patient
Fear and dealing with it in relation to physical illness and healing is such a huge topic that we could only scratch the surface of it in this Episode. So, we have decided to offer a 1.5-hour online Master Class at the end of October focused on bringing more information and helpful tools to those who are sick and struggling with fear.
The cost will be $27 (or R450.00 for South Africans), we hope that makes it affordable enough for all.

If we want to help our bodies heal, we have to work on our mind and emotions.
Working on our mind and emotions means bringing the unconscious into conscious awareness.
The unconscious is where we unknowingly store limiting beliefs and the consequent coping mechanisms which have a negative impact on our physical and mental health. (Refer to Ep4 & Ep7).
We cannot change what we donât know, and neuroscience shows that once we bring into the conscious mind unconscious stuff, it is possible to work with it. Once recalled into the conscious mind, emotional memories become vulnerable and susceptible to change.
This is not only the path to physical and mental health, but also the path to becoming a Divine Embodied Human Being.
The starting point of this journey is to cultivate self-awareness. To take a witness position and bring awareness to every aspect of yourself.
Become aware of what you are thinking, what your triggers are and what your patterns and coping mechanisms are. Start seeing and working with the ego.
The aim is to stop functioning in patterns that you have not consciously chosen and that were chosen for you.
This work is a new opportunity to choose to let go of the blockages. It is also the path to mental mastery and physical health.
This Episode offers insights and tools to start this journey. We will be building on this.

This could possibly be the BIGGEST MISSING LINK in your healing.
In Episode 7 on Limiting Beliefs we briefly mentioned the role of emotions in health.
In this Episode we deep dive into this topic.
Loretta talks us through the physiological response in our bodies if we donât feel ALL our feelings. It might shock youâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ...
We all have negative and positive feelings, but we have not been encouraged to feel all our feelings, in fact, quite the opposite.
As children we are often shown and taught that negative or strong emotions are wrong. For example, parents disapprove of children expressing emotions.
The focus on the power of positive thinking has many of us believing that it is not okay to have a bad mood or a negative thought or feeling.
In general, we have been socialised and conditioned to not feel what are perceived as ânegativeâ feelings, so when they come up, we tend to block them out, change them or push them down.
Loretta explains that when these emotions get pushed down it is like storing garbage in our bodies and if you have garbage in your body day after day, and year after year, your body will break down over time.
Feeling your feelings will not kill you, but if they stay trapped in the body in the long term, they may.
AND - False positivity and pretend joy can have negative effects on our health.
We cannot shoot for only one side of the emotional spectrum and ignore the other if we want to be well (physically and mentally).
The more we feel our feelings, the less anxiety and therefore the less fight and flight response in the body. Feeling ALL our emotions activates the parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system.
In order to keep our immune system strong, we need to feel our feelings.
We discuss how we use all kinds of strategies to avoid feeling our feelings, but sooner or later they show up in our bodies as signs and symptoms. These signs and symptoms show us the possibility that we are suppressing emotions.
Loretta talks us trough a tool to surf the waves of emotion.
It takes time and practice to be able to work with emotions, but it has a hugely positive pay off on our physical and mental health.
We will be exploring this topic in a lot more depth, so watch out for future Episodes.

Not many people realise the health implications of their limiting beliefs and other psychological states.
The health implications are huge and medical science is showing this. There are many biological pathways connecting psychological processes and immune functioning.
Research is clearly showing how a range of long-term psychological states lead to a wide range of immune dysfunctions.
Once you understand this you will realise the immense danger to your health of, for example, viewing yourself as a victim, wanting to be in control or perceiving yourself to be under attack or unsafe.
Fear and not feeling feelings are the most damaging to our health.
In this Episode we talk you through this in detail. We explain how it happens and what you can do about it.
This information could be a complete game changer in your healing if you donât know it.

In this Episode we deep dive into the subject of Limiting Beliefs.
What are they, how do they develop and how do they affect our physical and mental health?
We talk through some limiting beliefs and how they produce certain coping strategies. It is these coping strategies that can have a negative influence on our health, and our life in general. We give specific examples.
The thing to know is this, these limiting beliefs are unknown to us as they are âhiddenâ in the unconscious. The beliefs develop in childhood and until we bring them into conscious awareness and âworkâ with them they run our lives without us even being aware of it.
These âunknownâ beliefs, because of the way our brains operate, become a self-fulfilling prophecy. The RAS (Reticular activating system) looks for familiarity to keep us âsafeâ. This means we âunconsciouslyâ attract and get in life what we believe.
So, itâs important for us to bring these (limiting) beliefs into conscious awareness.
Antoinette and Loretta openly share their own limiting beliefs and coping strategies, how they play out in their lives and how they deal with them.
Lorretta offered a really amazing tool in this Episode in response to Antoinette"s very vulnerable share about her core limiting belief.
There are a lot of gold nuggets in this Episode.
Drop Lorretta an email on Loretta Ferrucci [email protected] and she will send you (at no cost) a list of 12 limiting beliefs and how they may be affecting your life.

In this short clip Loretta explains what happens to our body chemistry and immune system when we experience long term conscious or hidden stress.
Uh-oh âŠ. Technical stuff ! At this point you may want to run for cover. If this is the case, relax. You do not have to understand or memorise any of this information in order for the tools and methods we offer in the podcast to work. In fact, if technical information scares you, skip this Episode until it feels right.
Not understanding how these things work is not going to stop you from using the tools we offer to help yourself heal.
However, without some basic knowledge, we would be doing nothing more than asking you to trust what we say.
This knowledge will lead you to the door, but it cannot do the healing. Healing lies in the area beyond the door of intellect, in the realm of feelings and emotions but it can help you find that door.

Freud compared the human mind to an iceberg. He said that only about one-tenth of our mind is the tip of the iceberg, the conscious mind, the rest of our mind, 90%, is unconscious, and is submerged beneath the water.
This means that only a fragment of our ideas and feelings are conscious or known to us, while the vast bulk of our mental content is unconscious or "invisible .
Really understanding this is a very important starting point in your journey of becoming your own healer.
Bruce Lipton presented this iceberg model in this way :
By the age of 7 years old we have a programme in place, this programme comes about as a result of our childhood upbringing, socialisation, conditioning and trauma.
This programme is what is referred to above as the unconscious, it is the part below the iceberg , so the 90%.
Itâs the stuff we are not consciously aware of but is unknowingly running our lives and because of this programme we develop distorted beliefs, toxic thoughts and unhealthy coping mechanisms, as well as unknown stress responses.
It houses deeply ingrained limiting beliefs and emotions that can manifest as physical symptoms.
The programme will run the show until it is reprogrammed, and this doesnât just happen from thoughts or knowledge alone. It takes time, commitment and tools.
We hope to walk you through this journey, so stay tuned.
Why you may be asking is this important information in relation to you helping yourself physically heal your body?
Our thoughts, feelings, and experiences can create physiological responses in the body, affecting our body chemistry, immune system, hormone levels, and overall well-being.
Unconscious (unknown) anxiety and hidden stress may present as physical and mental health symptoms that we donât notice.
Medical scientific research is showing that in the long run this causes illnesses, especially cancer, autoimmune, diabetes and heart disease. Beliefs are translated in chemistry that will not support our health and vitality.
The unconscious mind plays out on our body, as the body/mind believes that they're living in the same unhappy experience that was in the past and therefore keep producing cascades of stress responses in that same cycle.
We will be digging deeper into this and looking at specific diseases.
For now, just to say that, physical symptoms of unconscious anxiety include muscle tension, headaches, fatigue, sweating, gastrointestinal disruptions, or changes in sleep patterns.
These physical symptoms occur without a clear cause or trigger but will persist because of underlying unknown stress and over time can lead to some serious health issues such as cancer or diabetes.
We humans sadly have become so used the living like this and as such unfortunately do not pay attention to these symptoms or we medicate them away.

In this short clip I discuss how hidden, unknown stress can make us sick.
Research is showing clearly that the following can, and do affect our health :
Not feeling your feelings. Suppressed anger in particular. Anxiety & depression Loneliness and absence of social support emotionally deficient relationships Fear Negative thinking Denial Coping mechanisms : Avoidance, denial, addiction, people pleasing, co-dependency Wanting to be in control of everything Toughing it out all the time and keeping it together no matter what Needing to look good and be liked Low self-worth Not being able to say no Not being able to draw boundaries Threatened loss of love InsomniaResearch has also shown that the following experiences, among many others, in a personâs past, especially up to age of 7 years old, can affect health or trigger disease:
Abuse Abandonment Learning not to express feelings as a child Considering others above ourselves all the time Incapable or canât say no in childhood and as an adult develop excessive dutifulness If we become our motherâs protector as children A child's humiliation, impotence and bottled rageDiseases being shown to be related
Cancer Autoimmune Chronic fatigue Rheumatoid arthritis Lupus Inflammatory bowel disorders Rheumatoid arthritis MS DiabetesWe will be discussing all of the above more in longer Episodes.

· In this Episode we talk about the unknown factors that may be making you sick.
These are hidden stresses like unresolved trauma , suppressed emotions, unconscious negative beliefs, toxic thought patterns and unhealthy coping mechanisms. It may take a long time to weaken our immune system and trigger our illnesses, but medical science is showing that many illnesses, such as cancer and autoimmune, are triggered by this.
We want to help you identify these unknown stresses, work with them and use this to physically heal yourself.
If you are physically sick and you want to play a role in your own healing by removing the obstacles to your cure, this could be the missing link in your healing and may just be where your healing lies!
So please carry on listening and join us on this journey of healing yourself from the inside out.
The insights that you will gain into yourself and the workings of your mind and body will not just help you physically heal but it could potentially transform your whole life .
