In its most simplistic explanation, the Mind Body Connection is the relationship to behaviours, habits, conditioning and early life environment that shapes our perception of the world around us, ourselves, the way we view relationships, health, wealth and more. Our childhood, how we were raised, talked to, treated, whether we received unconditional love and acceptance or rules that restricted our ability to feel completely free, completely individual, completely ‘me’.

Connections to events leading up to conception even can affect the way in which we develop, health and behaviour / attitude wise. The world in which we were born into affects us even more and those affects go on to develop our perceptions, our world views and, our health and wellness, and not just our health but our ability to live happy, free, abundant lives. This is the way functional growth and development of body and mind, and perception work, and to change it is to change all you ever believed to be true about yourself, your parents, family, friends, strangers, the world itself.

Unconditional Love & Acceptance for life long health and wellness

When we enter this world, via our mother’s womb, the two things we require more than anything else are pure unconditional love and acceptance, and if we receive those two things, without limitation, we develop beautifully healthy, gland blossom and grow as they are meant to and health and wellness flows freely through us, but what if that wasn’t our first experience of the world, then what happens to our vital glands and organs during this key phase of a child’s development? That’s all very dependent on the experience received in the first five years of life. if the way you were treated was in anyway less than one of pure unconditional love and acceptance, growth can become abnormal. If it was to lead you to believe, from your viewpoint of little to no context that you were less than good enough just as you were, then the first gland to become affected is the pineal gland, closely followed by the pituitary as energies of a ‘not good enough’ nature sit firmly upon these two vital glands for growth and development. Love is the other most crucial factor in development and whether it was unconditional, because to the child with no context, anything other than pure unconditional love and acceptance is ‘unlovable’ energy, I am not accepted as I am therefore, I cannot be loveable. And that energy sits firmly upon the hypothalamus. And so right from the very beginning, growth and development is affected in some way.  

What do I mean by the contextless child?

When we are below the age of eight, we learn by what we see only, context does not come until the age of eight when the brain develops its ability to filter what it sees through a more focused point of view, largely by way of developing the logical part of the brain, or right brain thinking, therefore giving meaning to what it sees. Below this age, all a child experiences is the experience itself, dad yelled at me, I must be ‘bad’, ‘I was told to be quiet’, my words must be meaningless, ‘I was punished for yelling, or for crying’ emotions must be put away else I’ll lose my parents love and the safety that love offers me. Punishing a child for the purpose of expressing oneself can and will lead to suppression of emotions. If I emote, I get punished, if I get punished, I’m not loved, if I’m not loved I’m not safe in the world, as the contextless child knows only love and safety, or on the flip, panic over the loss of those two elements of its basic survival. And once those thoughts of ‘I’m not good enough’, ‘I’m not accepted’, ‘I’m not lovable’, ‘I’m not safe’ are in the child’s mind, they stay there, rooting themselves more and more firmly into its consciousness, where they stay, controlling that child for life, or until Mind Body Connection work is begun to relief stress, anxiety, pain, illness or disease from the body, as a body whose glands were told they were not good enough or not lovable will always deteriorate to some level or degree sooner or later. And this is before we even talk of those root childhood energies going on to be triggered over and over throughout our lives, magnetising us to the same energy over and over.

Change brings peace, unconditional love and the acceptance you needed all along

To change these beliefs is critical work for anyone suffering with chronic illness, pain, disease or who otherwise feels a little lost, unsure of themselves and their place in the world and / or who, no matter what they try, cannot find a sense of peace and happiness. It retrains your brain, your neural pathways, your mindset and eventually your thoughts and opinions on all things and so please do reach out for a confidential, free, half hour consultation if you feel this is an area of your life that you would like to explore.
