new connection where you can tune in and grow i'm your host vicky thompson you may be familiar with new connection magazine for conscious living which has been enjoyed by readers in the pacific northwest for more than twenty years now are excited to  connection to life in your home a new connection we welcome authors practitioners and visionaries to share new ideas for alternative health spirituality and personal growth today i'd like to welcome to new connection which is something that we've never talked about on the show but i think it's it's an integral part of alternative health and healing so you're a medical intuitive what do you do in daily as a medical intuitive very  question medical and sort of uses sixth sensory abilities to determine what's happening in the body beyond what's obviously visible and that includes you know through our own senses the first five and even cat scans and things like that medical intuitive can often see what's going on inside the body some might feel some might even hear what's happening and it helps put answers to a lot of those questions what's going on i don't feel right i know something is off but the doctors and intuitive can see what's happening or feel what's happening and then be able to share that with the client it's really quite a gift to be able to share that to give someone an answer to a question they may have had sometimes for decades so let's let's get a little more deeply into that so what i'm taking may be an example of a current client that you've had with some ailment would you feel if they had a heart problem would you feel a tightness in your heart how does it work for you on the sensory level a muscle or something like that but more an area between overlapping between those and i'll get some kind of sensation and i'll be of the see or feel what's happening sometimes i'll hear a feel a specific memory that someone's holding in the body when i first started doing the body work as a massage therapist i really had no belief in any of this all the intangibles just didn't make any sense i don't really want to believe it until i'm working on someone once i was working on her shoulder and she asked what i was doing and i said well this is crossfire a fictional interviews iason she said no what are you doing i said well this is maybe in chinese medicine this is i don't know what are you doing i've seen pictures of my mother so my initial reaction i kind of want to say ok all i got to go now but that opened my eyes to the possibility that we hold memories in our bodies and then talking with a lot of people after that reading a lot of books and then finally meditating to put it all together i saw very clearly that we carry all kinds of memories you know we have about as some say sixty trillion cells and my experience says that every cell has a memory and that's a lot of memories and unfortunately sometimes they aren't good memories or loving memories and those are held in the body and cause  titus and we can figure out what that is then we have something to work with whereas before it might not have anything at all so it sounds like with the cellular memories and then the combinations of emotions that we carry how do we contribute to our pain in our illnesses what i have seen is you know we all have a full range of emotions and when we are able to express those the energy in the body flows and we usually pretty healthy but most of us aren't really given space to feel those whether it's sadness or anger you know how many kids are two years old or whatever are having a tantrum and are supported saying go ahead let it out usually it's just the opposite it's really learned from very early  than our emotions and of course blockages and what i've learned since you know going deeper into this this kind of information that might seem a little blue for a lot of people especially in the west is normal throughout the world cultures traditional chinese medicine which is five thousand years old they have very specific maps of what emotions are held and what organs so you could directly look that up and get some idea see what's happening so we have a lot to do with it  given space to feel that and sometimes i work with people who have what someone called major illnesses and if i can determine that it's from repression of grief i can whole space and allow them to to grieve and maybe  something that they'll last ten twenty years ago it's amazing washing their sentiments go away just from crying and you know i have so much belief in this at this point that i am one hundred percent convinced that we all have something happening in our bodies from the repression of this energy of motion that we do sometimes for pressing for decades and so that can turn into an illness for many people yet sometimes starts out really minor let's just say muscle tightness you know if you're stressed or on a and if you're are in fear anxiety love having your muscles will tighten up your shoulder muscles and tighten up and if that's not really dealt with that tends to spread out the muscles kind of compensate is always in fear of fight or flight response the color of the west then all the muscles become tight and then you might get diagnosed with something like five my allergies or other illnesses related to that i don't specifically treat illness i'm not a medical doctor but i can look at the symptoms type muscles and address that and then we can really determine what the person is in fear of and then work with that of a very spiritual level energetic level emotional level sounds that as a medical intuitive you could also work with people as they're going through traditional western medicine absolutely how do you combine the two together for the best health for that patient a question appreciate the rest of that because sometimes people think it's one of the other and all for both i'm all about integration people sometimes think that i would say no don't take the medication well i'm not allowed to say that first of all the second someone might need it you know someone might really need something and you know the old song says whatever gets you through the night is all right so if you need a medication go for it if you need surgery go for it but what what happens when someone does that approach along with what i would do or any other body work or energy the healing happens much quicker and who wouldn't want that right and also what's really cool by doing it that way is that we learn what cause it's to begin with and then we can work diligently to not let that happen again so for example if you created something unconsciously for twenty years let's say that was building up and you got this particular illness whatever it is you can work consciously and reverse it and tremendously in less time and then because you have that knowledge let's just say something really simple like being anger at your anger at your father for something that might be very small in scope but you still carrying that you realize wow this anger is really serving me and the next time you're with your father perhaps you open your heart a little bit more and that alone is healing also so i'm all about integration so it sounds like you as a medical intuitive would you know find the tightness in the shoulder that we were talking about with your client and you'd feel the pain of her mother and images of her mother would come up and then you would guide her on ways to help to address that so she's not holding that cellular memory and allowing it to bang against her body and create illness exactly there are many different ways of working with people to get that energy out fortunately in that moment generally i'm really good at empty myself so i get my ideas out of the way because what i call source has much bigger and better ideas than i dave can possibly think of and when i continue with that i can give someone whether it's a montra or something to do is to help forgiveness to be something as simple as writing a letter that you never even said just getting the energy out of the body some people need something more action packed so it has a lot of anger in the body you might need to get it out by you know is there some but this is well known and if there are there are places in japan that people go into just to destroy just to get the energy out of the body and i just kind of always picture some walking out of there for an assumed back god like nothing happened you now  but when they're in there they can scream and break things i can show you and wow that was great but yeah but it sounds like that saved spot for them to go and really let it out and i i agree with you in our western culture we are buttoned up tight and we don't let it out and when it does it can just come out in explosive ways yeah that's over internal explosion to the body exactly the external ways are really obvious something like road rage of someone cuts in front of you in a car it's not that big a deal really but there are times when that just is the proverbial straw the first the camel's back and what that is is from repressing a lot of smaller bits of anger keeping in to keeping in at one point then it explodes my favorite analogy is the rain cloud a little bit of rain a little moisture is great you know but at one point enough moisture gets in and then we have a thunderstorm or rain at least so it's important to recognize and live consciously and not let these things build up to that point so it doesn't come out in that way and sometimes when it's not even coming out in that way like you said it stays within and it creates tightness and it can create muscle tightness and pretty much what i've seen at least is every physical element has some sort of a motion or connection to it and when you can get that the more information you have out what caused whatever is happening of course you're going to get better quicker and  think when you discuss with people that their emotions can cause their illness there's always that people go oh no you know no no no i don't want to go there because they don't want to have to be responsible on that level of their emotions and their feelings affecting their body help how do you help them see step through that difficulty and denial carefully but fortunately people that come to me usually pretty open and they read a book or saw a lecture or something and they have some idea of what they're in for but it's a great point and that if someone hears that they had something to do with causing their illness it can bring up a lot of guilt and i invite that person to realize that that's just a perception perceptions can be changed you can look at that and say oh i'm really can i can't believe i'm so bad i created this or have all this guilt come up or you can take the insects and information and be empowered so i will say i invite you to them yourself with this information now going to solve pity or denial but just on it and from that point anything can happen usually for the better so it's a matter of changing perspective on the same bit of information can be taken really negatively or really positively and even those words are a kind of charge but in general it can empower someone to disavow or something so i invite them to be m powered the cool thing also is someone created something unconsciously it only makes sense that hear oh you played a part in it the marlies can the darn you know where was i but then just saying oh but i'm empowered to make a difference in my own life and change this and that that is a wonderful way to go with it and what you said just prior to that about seeing the person through the eyes of love you know it's said that that's the way jesus has healed i don't claim to be on par with that in any way shape or form but the idea being that if i can see someone is healed already and invite them see that also and i can be  completely open space and supporter of whatever is happening you know i hear unfortunately i do hear a lot of really sad stories from people's childhoods of abuse mistrust from people that you really want expected to be trustworthy and it's very painful and to be able to work with that from an empowered place and to recreate that innate from morrill state of love through my own eyes to my own emotions that when they share something like that i don't freak out and say oh my god you know for some friends of sadness but a whole space for all that for myself to feel what i need to and more probably for them to feel what they need to as opposed to going into shame guilt and anger that's what created to begin with  w so you play and create a loving and accepting space for them i don't really go through it that's wonderful and you also have five steps to health that you work with your clients with as well can you step us through that and how we can use them the steps on their own seem really something but when they're done in this order they're very powerful and the first that is awareness that makes sense they have to be aware of what you're dealing with so if you go to a medical intuitive or even just a good friend might get some kind of psychic hit doesn't matter where you get it from i feel where what caused pain of illness to do anything with it the second step is acceptance and when i first heard that it didn't make any sense of why would i want to accept that i have this and my perception was except with a period meaning i can't do anything but what i mean by people now look at it is accept with the ellipses three dots i accept th and what can i do next so means i accept that i created consciously or unconsciously i created what's going on it's very empowered place to be the third step is opportunity because a lot of people might see it as a burden so i invite them to see as an opportunity and the fourth step is gratitude that doesn't mean her a i have x it means wow thank god i now have awareness of what caused it i can have gratitude for that as opposed to having gratitude for the illness effect the law of attraction says if you have a lot of gratitude for the illness you get more illness so i say have gratitude for the less and the opportunity all this is much more detail the book obviously is very succinct and the last episode forgiveness and whether it's forgiving yourself of parents clergy doesn't matter some people are angry at god whatever it is that if we can take them through the steps of forgiveness and have it not just i let them off the hook kind of thing that doesn't really work it just keeps things festered in working with the on a very deep visceral level to the point where you feel that you've forgiven someone and i just say so to help in that forgiveness process would you then tune into their body and see where they might be holding on to that blockage that keeps them from forgetting to be there that step and that can happen in any any of the steps  forgiveness is very different for a lot of different people of what it looks like so again i listen in and get what's best for that person that moment it's you know if i say something that is completely foreign to somebody now and i lose them but they they go back into despair so i have to understand where they're coming from so if i'm working with a medical doctor i might not say you have an alien implant kind of thing and blow over but i'm not so good but i can talk about  blockages of energy that anyone can can get you know within their paradigm so it's very important for me to know where my client is and then to listen in on the best way to communicate that information to them otherwise it's like talking you know chinese to someone has no knowledge of chinese and then they're just back and just and it's fair so if i can really communicate on their level i really opens up a lot when you kind of touched on throughout as we've been talking that you get guidance from source and your book is healing with stories and on the cover of your book you have a very beautiful healing symbol can you tell us a bit about the symbol and how you came to work with that share this kind of fun story  meditation i got a message that said someone is going to be creating a symbol for you to use to help people into healing work at the same frequency that i'm currently using and i take a lot of breaks so we worked it out that we can use half of the cover as also a cut out of that in the book itself towards the end along with instructions on how to use that symbol to how some people might use reiki symbol everything has energy everything has  frequency and this particular someone has been really super charged so you can use it in the way that it's instructed and it's at the end of the book for a reason so i just get the book and put it on your chest and although that might be somewhat helpful the reason why it's at the end of the book is because the you know three times a week for the rest of their life you know if i can see them even just a few times given the information and they can heal on their own that's empowerment that's that's the true message to me that something that's coming from place of having a dependency is an arrant and again if you need medication go for it but why not live without it if you can is there often are side effects and most people just don't want to be a medication it's costly sometimes  or and creates other reactions you know what they call side effects so this is a lot in this process and to work with a guy i found as an invaluable and like as myself if i need to go to if i'm ago said you need more lemon in your diet and i've tried everything that worked as i quit and my initial reaction was i should be able to know that information but that's why god gave us each other as we can't know everything so it's continually humbling to do this for it's wonderful do you feel it working with this healing symbol is it kind of a conscious symbol that helps guide you in your work daily i think the symbols frequency is an already inherent in me so i don't really need to carry it around it's just part of me already so i get the information with or without it but for someone who is beginning to own this work a can be quite quite a gift to really empower them and they can use tools in the books to step through and know how to use the symbol for here and you can as if there's even schools and how to help someone else feel like how to use it as a practitioner to help someone else so the book isn't just about the person reading it it's about everyone around them which is pretty cool well you know you have a very positive outlook on health and you say that health is a verb so how can we live actively and have good health how i'm being how that's affecting people around me and likewise how i'm being affected by other people around me or even situations so it's pretty cool and it's just really actively taking part in your health every day yet being very active and conscious and aware living from that place as much as possible egos going to want to take us out of the game and that's normal it's what it does but we need to be able to catch it to being connected with it well you know something i'm still intrigued by is can we take a moment and just have you kind of look at my body i'd love to see the process that you go through as a medical intuitive and maybe just give us a little sideline commentary as you look at a body what are you seeing what are you sensing and you know is it me from the spot but ok you're always there always could be on the side they got to be ready ok so i don't necessarily need to like recognition is coming through so a lot of times this kind of thing is about you know recognize me and you're not alone in that you know we all have that because we've all been a shutdown to some degree i think our need salafist and you look at a five year old who's just playing and  anyone around them they're just having fun and you know rolling around the giggling i think we can do that as adults also but we don't learn it's ok so we learn to not be recognized but the body wants to be recognized so that's the energy that i'm feeling in like i guess being true to my path and following my path and speaking my truth because that's what i tap into that's what it feels like it feels like don't hide step out because i have a tendency you know despite being a newspaper editor and a host on a t v show i'm very also behind the scenes and i'm more comfortable behind the scenes and so it is hard to be up in front of her me i look it's true yeah yeah i have to say in having difficulty with the shoulder in the injury it's made me realize the power of our body and it's made me really connect in on a deeper level  to loving myself and to having compassion for myself because you can you know in an instant be injured but then the healing process can take time and it does open up emotions and feelings and the healing process but it i gift in that i've gotten to know myself much better yeah ultimately i like to look at all the pains of illness that we have as a gift to let us know what's happening in ways that we're not consciously aware of that's part of that stuff about gratitude being having
