The Root Cause of Dis-ease

Aug 27
5 min read

I have worked in the health care and wellness realms for over 22 years, initially starting out in conventional allopathic medicine and then I transitioned to study holistic and spiritual-based modalities in the last 8 years.


I have found that the root cause of all dis-ease comes back to subconscious and unconscious shame and guilt imprints - that are blocking us from being able to live authentically, peacefully, joyfully and experience healthy relationships.


Until we shift our relationship to ourself and Creator, our relationships with others will suffer. This deeply impacts our health.


Shame and guilt imprints lead to us living constantly in fear of being punished, harmed, rejected, betrayed or abandoned.


This is the basis of an insecure attachment style - not feeling safe and secure within oneself and believing someone outside of us needs to complete us or make us whole.


This includes the religious programming of "you are going to hell for your sins", which is using fear and guilt to motivate people to behave for external reasons, rather than from being intrinsically motivated from love, character and integrity.


This type of manipulating behaviour most often leads to people secretly giving into and acting out their repressed desires, only to feed the shame, guilt and fear more.


This keeps people looping in cycles of addictive and harmful behaviours and habits, while often wearing a mask to the outside world - attempting to hide their shadow and their light.


The long term solution is learning to become aware of and how to alchemize the subconscious and unconscious imprints driving these patterns.


What is "healing" truly about?

  • Reconnecting with the true essence of who you are underneath all of the subconsious and unconscious programming and wounds.

  • Reclaiming your dignity, innocence and sense of wholeness.

  • Moving from subconscious and unconscious imprints of perceived brokenness to embodied wholeness.

  • Moving out of sin and punishment-based conditioning and back to remembering you are unconditionally loved by the Creator, no matter what you have done or what was done to you.

  • Seeing your own judgements. and criticisms of others as an opportunity to look at your own shame and guilt imprints.

  • Learning and remembering to feel safe and secure in Creator's love and being a portal of divine love for others.

  • Reconnecting with your authentic inner spark and becoming the unique expression of Source you came here to be.

  • When you start to alchemize the shame, guilt and fear-based imprints - you start listening to your intuition more deeply again, your aura strengthens, life force energy flows more abundantly through the body and you start to feel alive again! The feeling of ALIVENESS is what I believe is the biggest sign that we are embodying our Soul more fully.


I have not only studied this. I have lived it. I was riddled with shame, guilt and fear my whole life. It was out of proportion to what my conscious mind could comprehend.


I had extreme social anxiety. I didn't feel safe with most humans. My nervous system was constantly overwhelmed with sensory input. I struggled with sleep since childhood. I didn't know what safety or security from within felt like, so I kept seeking it outside of myself in people, substances and other self-destructive habits.


I self-sabotaged all of my self-care routines and plans and was stuck in cycles of addictions of different kinds.


My health was always challenged since I was young. I was exhausted, depressed, hypervigilant, had difficulty digesting properly, experienced frequent colds and flus, and thyroid issues, rashes, weakening connective tissues, joint paints, swelling, lumps, chronic headaches and full-body muscle pains.


In 2017, as a result of an injury, I tore the dura of my spine that caused cerebrospinal fluid to leak. This caused brain injuries which significantly impacted my cognitive abilities - making it impossible for me to work for several years.


I also experienced other neurological symptoms that ranged from tingling and numbness in my extremities to full body uncontrollable and involuntary muscle spasms as a result of demyelination of my spine.


My health was a complete disaster. I was living in utter chaos while trying to be a single parent, with loads of debt, being too unwell to work, and having no savings! I lived in constant survival mode for years.


I also regularly entered into dysfunctional relationships as a result of my own insecure attachment style. I was so disconnected from my inner voice and discernment, that I even had a few romantic relationships with men which I later realized were sociopathic predators.


These experiences re-traumatized me further but fortunately were huge wake up calls (the silver lining!) that led to me reclaiming my discernment and letting go of self-abandonment, so that I would no longer ignore the red flags of deception or lose myself in another again.


I can tell you from personal experience of hitting rock bottom in every aspect of my life - that learning to alchemize the illusions of separation-based consciousness and remembering your true divine essence - can and will change your life from suffering to creating more ease, in health, relationships and more!


This is the work I do with my clients in my Soul Guide Journeys in 1:1 or group experiences. This is my unique process that is individualized, intuitive and empowering.


This past year I have shifted out of explaining what I do as any particular modality, and now see it as an intutiive roadmap process I have created based on what has worked best for me and my clients to move out of the trauma-based patterns of the past and to come back into alignment with Soul.


Here is a recent testimonial I received from a client, one week after his first Soul Guide Journey:


"My anxiety is gone. I am feeling so much lighter, open and passionate. Amazingly, I’m using my real voice, clearly. I’m standing in calm conviction. I’m stunned by what has been revealed: a memory of what I am and that which we all are." Kevin D


I am here to remind you that you can transform your life and that it starts with changing the way you perceive yourself! If you need support on your journey of remembering and embodying your authentic inner spark, get in touch!


I would be honoured to be your guide - supporting you on your journey of coming back home to yourself.


Upcoming Group Workshops:

  • I am offering a guided group process for Harmonizing Mind, Body & Spirit, September 19th, at Vallican Whole for The Wild Mother Gathering.

  • End of October I am planning a mini retreat in Passmore in collaboration with the Global Symphony for a United World. Stay tuned for details!

  • Online live group program in the works too!


I also recommend, if you are interested in learning my process in a self-healing capacity, that you check out my online self-paced program ROADMAP BACK TO YOU.


With love,

Melissa
