Healing the Soul: An Integrative Approach to Anxiety
Have you ever felt like your mental struggles are deeply rooted, hidden from view? I have. That's why I was so excited to speak with Dr. Katherine Kelly about her groundbreaking book on holistic anxiety treatment. As I mark 17 years in business, a journey marked by my own battle with anxiety, Dr. Kelly's insights bring a sense of hope. We discuss the deep connection between our soul and mental health, exploring how genetics, epigenetics, and ancestral trauma shape our well-being.
Dr. Kelly's Soul Health Model sheds light on the impact of anxiety, likening our inner turmoil to a tree struck by lightning. This perspective acknowledges the spiritual and past-life wounds that conventional science often overlooks. Our discussion goes beyond managing symptoms, focusing on achieving genuine healing.
Dr. Kelly and I discuss the wisdom of Hippocrates and Carl Jung, advocating for a renewed focus on the soul in modern medicine. By embracing our entire being, we can better navigate challenges like anxiety.
If you're seeking a path to holistic healing and ready to address the soul's impact, join us on this enlightening journey.

00:00:00.281 --> 00:00:06.733
I tell people I'm somewhere between science and woo, because you have to really look at all aspects of who we are.
00:00:06.733 --> 00:00:21.689
But you know, I follow the research and scientists still cannot find a gene that signifies the experience of anxiety or depression or any other mental health concern, so they don't know where the gene is.
00:00:21.689 --> 00:00:28.352
So that's where you have to look at the layers that are on those genes and that's kind of what epigenetics is about.
00:00:28.352 --> 00:00:31.888
It's looking at the trauma people have experienced in your lineage.
00:00:43.060 --> 00:00:50.825
Hi, I'm Linus Woods Mullins and I love to help women to vibe, to be more vibrant, intuitive, beautiful and empowered in their life.
00:00:50.825 --> 00:00:52.545
So come on, let's vibe.
00:00:52.545 --> 00:01:23.265
Hey, everybody, you know I've told my story many times before, but for those of you who are new, let me just tell you that almost 17 years ago well, more like about 20 years ago I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and I really thought that I could manage it myself.
00:01:23.265 --> 00:01:35.269
I guess you could say I was like kind of like in denial for about three years, and I just think it's apropos, on the start of a new month, 17 years and one day in business, that I have with me today my dear friend Dr Catherine Kelly.
00:01:35.269 --> 00:01:38.281
Now let me just tell you a little bit about Dr Catherine Kelly.
00:01:38.281 --> 00:01:46.254
She is amazing and her latest book that is all about anxiety treating body, mind and soul.
00:01:46.254 --> 00:01:54.823
Had I read that 20 years ago, my journey to wellness, in terms of being delivered from anxiety, would have been so much more quick.
00:01:54.823 --> 00:02:01.763
And not only that, I would have gained so much more knowledge about the importance of the healing of the soul.
00:02:02.444 --> 00:02:04.846
Dr Kelly is an expert in this.
00:02:04.846 --> 00:02:10.876
It has spent most of her professional life talking about the importance of healing our soul.
00:02:10.876 --> 00:02:13.508
She's a best-selling and award-winning author.
00:02:13.508 --> 00:02:18.852
She has written numerous nationally published academic and health-related magazine articles.
00:02:18.852 --> 00:02:25.433
She and her work have been featured in over 450 national and international radio podcasts.
00:02:25.433 --> 00:02:34.731
She's been a guest on all my podcasts at least maybe five or six times, and her current book series, the Soul Health series, is amazing.
00:02:35.180 --> 00:02:41.449
In fact, today and today happens to be May 1st I don't know when you're going to be listening to this, but I'm going to go ahead and date this podcast.
00:02:41.449 --> 00:02:43.103
It's May 1st 2024.
00:02:43.103 --> 00:03:12.752
It is her official launch day for the first in a series of books that's all about the healing of the soul, and this is the first one, which will always be my personal favorite, because it really has helped me put into perspective what I went through for those 17 years and also even more work that I can do when it comes to dealing with maybe that 2% little tickly dip that I have left for anxiety.
00:03:12.752 --> 00:03:31.670
But whether you are suffering from anxiety or not, this is a must-have for your library because there's so much information in regards to anxiety-related concerns and emphasizes the deeper aspects that may have created other emotional disturbances in your life, and it's just a fantastic book.
00:03:31.670 --> 00:03:36.007
Dr Kelly, welcome back to the Vibe Living Podcast.
00:03:36.328 --> 00:03:38.192
It's wonderful to have you here today.
00:03:38.192 --> 00:03:42.968
I love being on your show because number one it's again.
00:03:42.968 --> 00:03:48.872
Dear friend, it's very easy to talk to you and we, we, vibe, we get on that same same wavelength.
00:03:48.872 --> 00:03:51.240
Thank you so much for having me, you're so welcome.
00:03:51.681 --> 00:04:03.439
It's been quite a journey for both of us as we begin to find what our real niche is in terms of getting the word out about the importance of mind, body, soul health, or, as I would say, mind, body, spirit health.
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.246
And there's a difference between the spirit and the soul.
00:04:06.246 --> 00:04:16.632
Both of them are important components in our wellness, but the soul is something that we really don't talk enough about because it seems so esoteric.
00:04:16.632 --> 00:04:18.000
So let's start there.
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.810
How did you become so passionate about the soul?
00:04:22.250 --> 00:04:28.630
You know, I would love to know how to answer that question because I've been thinking about that, you know, really thinking back to where.
00:04:28.630 --> 00:04:32.487
Where did I start really talking about it and thinking about it?
00:04:32.487 --> 00:04:38.086
And I don't really know, because I think it's been such a part of my life, probably since I was born.
00:04:38.086 --> 00:04:41.000
My family didn't talk about it, you know it's.
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:48.264
It's interesting because I, you know, I had 10 years of postgraduate education for to get my psychology degree.
00:04:48.264 --> 00:04:52.093
Never remember hearing the word soul as part of my education.
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.809
I taught in two medical schools, never heard the word.
00:04:55.809 --> 00:04:56.430
So it was really.
00:04:56.430 --> 00:04:58.766
And I did a fellowship in family medicine never heard the word.
00:04:58.766 --> 00:05:02.221
So it's really interesting for me even to try to figure out.
00:05:02.221 --> 00:05:04.726
You know, where did this word come in for me?
00:05:04.726 --> 00:05:14.545
But I just know how important it is to talk about the essence of who we are, because we talk around who we are a lot of times we're not aligned with who we are.
00:05:14.545 --> 00:05:17.451
And that is where this all began.
00:05:17.451 --> 00:05:21.507
And you know my very first interview with you for my first book.
00:05:21.507 --> 00:05:24.980
Well, let me say this differently the first interview I had for my first book with was with you.
00:05:24.980 --> 00:05:36.762
Say this differently the first interview I had for my first book was with you and you know, I think it was just synchronistic because you on your journey, me on my journey and really just opening up this world to the soul I think has been so important.
00:05:36.762 --> 00:05:38.906
So again, I thank you for having me here.
00:05:39.728 --> 00:05:40.350
Absolutely.
00:05:40.350 --> 00:05:55.990
Now this particular book is focusing on anxiety and let me just say to my listeners, for those of you who don't know the story and I told you a little bit about the story, but just to give you an idea of what I went through for many years In fact, it was kind of like that's just what you do.
00:05:55.990 --> 00:06:03.107
I would wake up in the morning and I would feel like I was going straight down the hill in a roller coaster with no restraints.
00:06:03.107 --> 00:06:04.550
Imagine that feeling.
00:06:04.550 --> 00:06:07.764
It was a terrifying feeling every single morning.
00:06:07.764 --> 00:06:13.062
It got so bad that I wouldn't want to go to sleep because I wouldn't want to experience getting up.
00:06:13.062 --> 00:06:28.485
It got so bad that I would have anxiety all day long until the sun went down, because that meant that, you know, businesses were closed, the kids were home, I was home and I could control everything During the day.
00:06:28.485 --> 00:06:33.307
I couldn't control anything because I didn't know what was going on, and that's how bad the anxiety got to.
00:06:33.488 --> 00:06:37.141
Finally, I decided I had to do something because I couldn't live like this.
00:06:37.141 --> 00:06:43.968
And after I started my business a couple about a year or two later is when I met Dr Kelly.
00:06:43.968 --> 00:06:51.637
So it's been about 15 years or more that we've been doing this dance of you know how to heal the soul.
00:06:51.637 --> 00:06:56.651
But let's talk about anxiety, because I think anxiety means a lot of different things to a lot of different people.
00:06:56.651 --> 00:06:59.168
I never had a panic attack, never did.
00:06:59.168 --> 00:07:11.790
The biggest thing I had was when I had my breakdown, when I couldn't stop crying when they finally took me to emergency, and that's when I began my journey really, because I had was when I had my breakdown, when I couldn't stop crying, when they finally took me to emergency, and that's when I began my journey really, because I had an intervention.
00:07:11.790 --> 00:07:13.146
But up to that point I never, you know, had heart palpitations, a panic attack or any of that.
00:07:13.146 --> 00:07:16.569
So what is anxiety and how does it present?
00:07:17.612 --> 00:07:19.939
So I'm gonna I'm gonna answer that in a second.
00:07:19.939 --> 00:07:33.735
I want to go back to the soul for just a moment, because I think it's important to understand what the soul is, Because, like you said, we don't use that word very often, we don't know really how to get to that level, and to me, the soul is the essence of who we are.
00:07:33.735 --> 00:07:38.749
So it's an energetic sort of processing system that is in all of us, it's in every.
00:07:38.749 --> 00:07:48.084
There's no physical place in the body, but it resides because it's in every cell of who we are, and so it's basically that part of us that drives everything.
00:07:48.084 --> 00:07:51.050
So thoughts, behavior, emotions, everything.
00:07:51.651 --> 00:07:59.264
So I think it's important to know that it's not necessarily a religious term, it is basically literally an individual term of who we are at that core level.
00:07:59.264 --> 00:08:12.052
When it comes to anxiety and to me anxiety is multifaceted, which is why I even wrote this book but anxiety is one of those things that shows that our soul is misaligned in one way or another.
00:08:12.052 --> 00:08:20.915
Now, my soul health model that I you know, I wrote that first book about which you and I kind of have talked in different ways about for years.
00:08:20.915 --> 00:08:26.901
It's a depiction of a tree, and actually I'm going to show this just because I think it's going to help.
00:08:26.942 --> 00:08:29.028
But this is my little show and tell.
00:08:29.108 --> 00:08:30.572
This is my soul health model.
00:08:30.572 --> 00:08:32.022
I've had this for 18 years.
00:08:32.022 --> 00:08:37.232
It serves as a blueprint for people to understand what is going on for you.
00:08:37.232 --> 00:08:55.070
And when it comes to anxiety, it's almost like these branches are either misaligned or electrified, because that is the energy behind anxiety is that you feel like there's this, like buzzing, there's this constant discomfort, and most people don't know where it comes from, they just know it's there.
00:08:55.070 --> 00:09:03.644
And you know, my heart goes out, especially with what you said is you just lived because you thought that's what was supposed to be, that's the way.
00:09:03.644 --> 00:09:07.452
You didn't know that that was not something that you had to endure.
00:09:07.452 --> 00:09:15.673
So anxiety to me is a combination of body factors, mind factors and soul factors.
00:09:15.673 --> 00:09:20.806
And the body factors yes, we need medications, we need things.
00:09:21.380 --> 00:09:32.158
There's different forms of treatment, especially now there are some other kinds of treatment that are coming out that are really helping people, you know, really helping people with the physical aspects.
00:09:32.860 --> 00:09:38.791
We can do the mind work, we can do the thought stopping, we can change those faulty beliefs, we can change those anxious thoughts.
00:09:38.791 --> 00:09:45.952
But what I have found and I'm sure you will probably agree to this is that you can do a lot of the body work.
00:09:45.952 --> 00:09:50.182
You can do a lot of the mind work, but it's like a record that skips.
00:09:50.182 --> 00:09:58.700
It's almost like if your anxiety, if your stress gets to another heightened level again, you go through the same things over and over again.
00:09:58.700 --> 00:10:06.140
So, whether it is a panic attack, whether it's the worrisome thoughts, whether it's the physical symptoms, it's almost like there's something deeper going on.
00:10:06.140 --> 00:10:29.458
And that's exactly why I wrote this book and I'm going to write about individual mental health concerns and really illuminate the soul aspects, because there are so many things that happen below the surface that science has not been able to identify, they're not even focusing on and we're missing a huge part of who we are in the treatment of all mental health concerns.
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:39.490
as far as I'm concerned, you know and I think it's interesting because you have worked with traditionally trained doctors you, you know, have worked with the MD side.
00:10:39.490 --> 00:10:48.153
You even went back to Harvard to get even more education on the mind, body, spirit approach, the integrative approach to what it is that you do.
00:10:48.153 --> 00:11:08.755
But the interesting thing about your book is that it touches on things that no traditionally trained medical doctor talks about, and that is the epigenetic influence, ancestral suffering, past life trauma and other soul wounds that you cover and explain what that is.
00:11:08.755 --> 00:11:10.096
I know some people say epigenetic.
00:11:10.096 --> 00:11:13.871
That sounds like something a doctor should know about, but what?
00:11:13.892 --> 00:11:14.111
do you?
00:11:14.131 --> 00:11:17.839
think when it comes to anxiety and how that works within us.
00:11:18.059 --> 00:11:20.604
So epigenetics is this newer term.
00:11:20.604 --> 00:11:33.864
It's not new like yesterday, but it's been around for about 15, 20 years and epigenetics is basically the study of how emotional trauma, emotional concerns, gets passed down genetically.
00:11:33.864 --> 00:11:52.991
So it's like there's this energetic imprint on our gene structure and even though a person has not had trauma in their own lifetime, they can still feel the trauma of people from past line, from their generational line, because of the fact that it's already imprinted in their genetic system.
00:11:52.991 --> 00:12:08.840
So it's fascinating how it works from a biological perspective, because there's there and there's something else I talked about in the the soul aspect, but the epigenetics is still part of the physical aspect because it's literally part of our gene system.
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:10.783
Now what's fascinating?
00:12:11.591 --> 00:12:20.403
And I love, I do follow science science because I tell people I'm somewhere between science and woo, because you have to really look at all aspects of who we are.
00:12:20.403 --> 00:12:35.384
But you know, I follow the research and scientists still cannot find a gene that signifies the experience of anxiety or depression or any other mental health concern, so they don't know where the gene is.
00:12:35.384 --> 00:12:41.700
So that's where you have to look at the layers that are on those genes and that's kind of what epigenetics is about.
00:12:41.700 --> 00:12:50.399
It's looking at the trauma people have experienced in your lineage that you are actually experiencing now without having had any of your own trauma.
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:59.023
So there are cultural aspects, there's other things that are passed down, but it's literally like that genetic component that is being isolated now.
00:12:59.990 --> 00:13:07.778
How important is it for us to understand our ancestral background when it comes to our overall mental health, but, in particular, anxiety.
00:13:08.881 --> 00:13:13.251
Well, this is where I'm going to break it into the human level and the soul level.
00:13:13.251 --> 00:13:21.798
To me, the epigenetics, the actual physical passing down of those, those kinds of traits, I think is really essential.
00:13:21.798 --> 00:13:25.481
The second part of that is the soul part of it.
00:13:25.481 --> 00:13:28.144
So I'm going to show I have all these diagrams.
00:13:28.144 --> 00:13:30.186
So I showed the soul health model earlier.
00:13:30.186 --> 00:13:35.393
This is the extended model showed the soul health model earlier.
00:13:35.393 --> 00:13:35.956
This is the extended model.
00:13:35.956 --> 00:13:37.261
And so you know I still use the soul health model up here.
00:13:37.302 --> 00:13:42.356
I've added all these little dots that are additional kinds of concerns, and cultural, you know, influences is one of them.
00:13:42.356 --> 00:13:55.804
But this root system is what I added for this next level of the model and these are the things that are living below the surface, that scientists are not looking at right now, that are very much a part of who we are.
00:13:55.804 --> 00:14:18.264
So ancestral trauma is different than epigenetics and ancestral trauma is literally how your soul carries the information about past lives, past life trauma and how your soul because your soul is infinite, your soul has been in every other past life you are going to.
00:14:18.264 --> 00:14:45.841
It's not like you get a clean slate when you start a new lifetime, so you carry any trauma, any discomfort, anything from both yourself and ancestors into a current lifetime, and if a person doesn't know that that is what is activating your anxiety or your depression or whatever else, the mental health concern is you're only going to be treated from the body or the mind and you're never going to feel like you heal from that anxiety.
00:14:45.841 --> 00:15:11.448
So it's important in so many ways not only again from the epigenetics standpoint but from that lower kind of that whole spectrum of the soul, that if you're carrying those wounds, if you're carrying that ancestral energy from what has happened in your lineage, whether it's your own experiences or those around you you are not going to feel better, you're not going to, you are not going to feel well.
00:15:11.407 --> 00:15:12.390
You might be able to feel a little bit better, but there's going to feel better.
00:15:12.390 --> 00:15:12.846
You're not going to.
00:15:12.846 --> 00:15:13.278
You are not going to feel well.
00:15:13.278 --> 00:15:31.672
You might be able to feel a little bit better, but there's going to be an ongoing level of activation that will always be there until you learn how to clear that from a soul healing perspective, and I know I'm talking about stuff that people don't really understand right, and that's interesting too, because you're thinking ancestral.
00:15:31.692 --> 00:15:32.894
My goodness, how do I know?
00:15:32.894 --> 00:15:39.168
In some cases, some people do know what maybe some of their ancestors went through, but, at the same token, many do not.
00:15:39.168 --> 00:15:45.100
So how do you go about eradicating that impact if you don't even know?
00:15:45.100 --> 00:15:47.605
You know what actually happened.
00:15:47.605 --> 00:15:51.355
How do you go about helping your patients connect with that and then eradicating that?
00:15:51.355 --> 00:15:51.875
Or?
00:15:51.936 --> 00:15:54.158
about helping your patients connect with that and then eradicating that.
00:15:54.158 --> 00:16:07.020
So from a soul healing perspective, which is different than just plain old psychotherapy, there are ways that you can identify whether or not there is ancestral trauma, ancestral healing that needs to take place.
00:16:07.020 --> 00:16:19.304
A lot of times you have to do either past life regression, you have to go to a soul healing professional who can really tune into the energetic imprint of your soul to be able to understand and see the images of what has happened for you.
00:16:19.304 --> 00:16:21.615
So that that is one layer.
00:16:21.615 --> 00:16:30.821
You know, and there's so many different soul healing modalities and approaches, and I actually talk about them in this book.
00:16:30.921 --> 00:16:44.621
One of the later chapters in the book lists out many different forms of soul healing that you can explore if something resonates with you, so that you are ready to kind of clean the slate or remove those kinds of wounds that are already there.
00:16:44.621 --> 00:16:53.620
So that's one of the reasons I created this book is that people who are trained traditionally they really don't understand the deeper levels.
00:16:53.620 --> 00:17:12.164
They don't understand that there are a lot of other modalities that could be tapped into, and so to me this is like scratching the surface of opening up the world to soul healing, which is likely to be far more sustainable as far as healing goes than managing the symptoms.
00:17:12.164 --> 00:17:18.882
As far as healing goes than managing the symptoms and I think that's a really important delineation is that what is done right now is to manage symptoms.
00:17:20.026 --> 00:17:31.115
It's not to do full healing, yes, but normally traditionally trained Western medicine doctors are trained to heal the symptoms and not necessarily go to the causation.
00:17:31.115 --> 00:17:33.923
And there's all kinds of reasons managed care.
00:17:33.923 --> 00:17:49.814
There's all kinds of reasons why that happens, but the bottom line is the quest for anyone whether you've got a toenail infection or anxiety is to be able to peel back the layers to figure out why did this happen?
00:17:49.814 --> 00:17:50.836
Where is it coming from?
00:17:50.836 --> 00:18:00.273
And it's very interesting because just this past year, when I was in Miami, I took a couple months off and I was traveling and everything and I spent some time with my daughter in Miami.
00:18:00.273 --> 00:18:04.573
That first night that we were there we were in a serious car accident.
00:18:04.573 --> 00:18:08.180
We were hit from behind and the car was totaled.
00:18:08.180 --> 00:18:10.872
We walked away from it no injuries at all.
00:18:11.353 --> 00:18:33.439
My very first concern wasn't so much for my physical health as it was my mental health, because I was wondering how a past trauma was going to impact or influence or trigger my anxiety disorder, because my mother was killed in an accident that had to do with a fire truck hitting her on the way to work.
00:18:33.911 --> 00:18:37.240
And what caused my anxiety was how I found out about it.
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:50.962
It was trauma and, as we know, trauma, the body keeps a score with trauma and the soul does as well, and it was making sure that I was going to be all right from that level.
00:18:50.962 --> 00:18:55.241
So I immediately called my therapist and we had some sessions and stuff and I was okay.
00:18:55.241 --> 00:19:31.859
But I really felt that a lot of times when these things happen with people, they're not they're thinking about their back, their neck, they're not thinking about the other trauma which has to do with our spiritual and soul trauma that could be related to other traumas that we're not even thinking about and, as a result, that particular impact and I not gotten the right kind of help could have triggered and caused all kinds of other things later on that you know I hadn't really dealt with and I believe that's somewhat of the basis of your book is learning how to peel back those layers.
00:19:31.795 --> 00:19:33.320
Absolutely, it's absolutely the basis of the book is learning how to peel back those layers.
00:19:33.320 --> 00:19:48.316
Absolutely, it's absolutely the basis of the book and you know, this is a prime example of why it is so important to understand the soul, because had you not understand both aspects of the mental health for you and the soul, you might have overlooked that.
00:19:48.316 --> 00:19:54.419
You might have done what a lot of people do, because when people go through trauma, a lot of times all they want to do is get back in control.
00:19:54.419 --> 00:19:58.181
They want things to go back to normal and they don't really want to deal with their discomfort.
00:19:58.181 --> 00:20:05.624
But you immediately knew out of your own wisdom and experience that, OK, there are levels of something I need to take care of here.
00:20:05.624 --> 00:20:13.544
So I applaud you for calling your therapist right away and also applaud you for knowing, ok, there may be something that is triggered here.
00:20:13.544 --> 00:20:20.336
I want to explain this from an energetic perspective because this is something I explained in the book and I think it's going to be helpful.
00:20:20.336 --> 00:20:32.234
You know, you said the body keeps the score and I'm going to explain that a little bit, because when we have soul level trauma, what happens and I do explain this, but I want to explain it here as well what happens and I do explain this, but I want to explain it here as well.
00:20:33.076 --> 00:20:40.185
What happens is there's an energetic imprint left on our soul, so it's like everything we experience seasons our soul.
00:20:40.185 --> 00:20:50.365
If there is an energetic imprint from a trauma that seasons our soul, it's kind of laying dormant there until something acts to trigger it.
00:20:50.365 --> 00:21:02.317
And the challenge with that is is, unless you really know enough about well, we need to do soul informed care or we need to pay attention to what might be happening in the service you can have.
00:21:02.317 --> 00:21:08.654
You can have such a strong reaction and not know where it's coming from, that that it's.
00:21:08.654 --> 00:21:16.113
It can debilitate you in some ways and it can be disproportionate to the actual, actual event.
00:21:16.113 --> 00:21:19.821
But then that's also another cue that there's something deeper going on.
00:21:19.821 --> 00:21:29.759
But that energetic imprint from any kind of trauma in this lifetime or previous lifetimes that has been unattended will come back in one way or another.
00:21:30.621 --> 00:21:31.122
And I want to.
00:21:31.122 --> 00:21:46.200
I want to say how this ends up in our body because, like you said, the body keeps the score and I tell people that energetic imprint, that energetic wound that is there, will eventually land in the physical body if it is unattended.
00:21:46.200 --> 00:22:02.940
And I can't tell you how many people have come to me for whether it's psychotherapy or soul healing modalities, who have come to me and said, oh gosh, I've got this pain here, I've got this ache here, wow, I had this injury and it's it's not healing, or I have this illness.
00:22:02.940 --> 00:22:03.961
I don't know where it came from.
00:22:03.961 --> 00:22:10.125
And when I go in I kind of do that past life work or I scan the soul structure to find out what's going on.
00:22:10.625 --> 00:22:19.363
What ends up happening is almost always I can see where that energetic imprint is activated and it's it's coming out in the body.
00:22:19.363 --> 00:22:25.557
But the wound from the origin is really not physically based.
00:22:25.557 --> 00:22:31.952
It can be from that energetic imprint from several lifetimes ago that's been carried along.
00:22:31.952 --> 00:22:43.711
And until a person knows to heal some of that stuff, either from the psychological or the physical level, that part of them is going to aggravate, be aggravated for like the rest of their life.
00:22:43.711 --> 00:22:47.705
So it's interesting how it all works together.
00:22:47.705 --> 00:23:00.538
But it's all energy based and whether we manifest it in our physical body or our emotional body, we're going to exhibit some sort of discomfort in one way or another.
00:23:00.538 --> 00:23:04.009
So it's just really important to understand the layers of all this.
00:23:04.750 --> 00:23:06.454
There's something you mentioned about energy.
00:23:06.454 --> 00:23:12.138
There's been a lot of talk about energy lately, especially on social media, and there's a lot of I don't know.
00:23:12.138 --> 00:23:16.472
There's self-proclaimed energy coaches, but I think some of them are self-proclaimed energy coaches.
00:23:16.472 --> 00:23:24.476
But I would like you to tell our listeners, from your perspective, what is energy and how does it work in our lives.
00:23:24.476 --> 00:23:26.058
What is energy?
00:23:26.138 --> 00:23:27.740
and how does it work in our lives?
00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:29.944
Well, energy is everything.
00:23:29.944 --> 00:23:36.404
So, from a physics perspective, every single thing you know, this pen, our books, anything that you see behind me everything has a different frequency of energy.
00:23:36.404 --> 00:23:50.237
What's interesting is, you know, when you actually break it down from a scientific perspective, it has all to do with how tightly those little atoms that all of us are made up with are tucked together.
00:23:50.237 --> 00:23:57.196
So a rock has very tightly tucked energy molecules, humans, because we are made of what?
00:23:57.196 --> 00:24:01.587
95% water or something, I can't remember the actual percentage.
00:24:01.587 --> 00:24:05.354
We have a more fluid energy, but what?
00:24:05.354 --> 00:24:14.758
The more fluid and the more fluid energy we have, the more likely we are to have these kinds of soul wounds affect us in a different way.
00:24:15.924 --> 00:24:32.815
So energy is this interesting thing where you know from again, way back in my high school years, when we when I took physics, I think about you, physics, I think about the teacher showing us what energy is and all of us, everything around us, is made of energy.
00:24:32.815 --> 00:24:36.295
It's just different frequencies or different levels of that.
00:24:36.295 --> 00:24:38.913
Again, like I said, they're kind of tucked in really tight.
00:24:38.913 --> 00:24:48.871
It's like a rock, with some of us, some of the things that are more fluid, us animals, trees, plants, those energy, the things that are more fluid, us animals, trees, plants those energy molecules are spread out more.
00:24:48.871 --> 00:25:06.657
But what happens with that is that the soul wounding, those energetic imprints actually get wedged into our energetic system, our energetic molecules, to the point where you know if something happens to a rock, it takes a lot to hurt a rock.
00:25:06.657 --> 00:25:09.631
It doesn't really take us that much to break us down.
00:25:09.631 --> 00:25:14.869
It just has to be the right kind of wound to pull us apart.
00:25:14.869 --> 00:25:19.239
So metaphorically it's all about how those energy molecules work.
00:25:20.145 --> 00:25:30.692
But because we're so fluid and we're so impression impressionable as far as our how our energy systems are, are created, we can, we can hold those wounds.
00:25:30.692 --> 00:25:31.574
We can hold that.
00:25:31.574 --> 00:25:39.240
The challenge with it too is that, you know, we don't have to have a blunt force wound in order to sustain damage.
00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:42.170
We can have really terrible words said to us.
00:25:42.170 --> 00:25:47.686
We can have betrayal of one way or of one, you know, aspect or another.
00:25:47.686 --> 00:25:53.665
We can have abuse that's beyond physical abuse, so emotional abuse or verbal abuse.
00:25:53.665 --> 00:25:57.192
You know everything, even the power behind words is energy.
00:25:58.535 --> 00:25:59.237
Very much so.
00:25:59.237 --> 00:26:03.210
And it's interesting too, because there's also another part, lisa.
00:26:03.210 --> 00:26:08.259
This is true for me, but it's true for most women over 40, definitely over 50.
00:26:08.259 --> 00:26:17.395
As you're going through menopause, there are hormonal shifts that go on and some of them present as anxiety, and that's what happened to me.
00:26:17.395 --> 00:26:23.301
I also had menopausal anxiety because my cortisol levels, especially in the morning, were out of control.
00:26:23.301 --> 00:26:28.953
That's another reason why I was getting that feeling of going straight downhill with the roller coaster without restraints.
00:26:28.953 --> 00:26:36.077
But you know, having that knowledge of the hormones and working with that is great, but there's this other part too.
00:26:36.077 --> 00:26:46.234
That's why it's important to take an integral approach, of a integrative approach that's integral to healing your mind, your body and your and your soul.
00:26:46.234 --> 00:26:57.834
Now, when people read the first of your series, which is the Soul of Psychology series, and the first book is Anxiety Treating Body, mind and Soul, what is it you want them to walk away with?
00:26:57.834 --> 00:26:59.959
This first series book?
00:27:00.285 --> 00:27:15.025
Well, anxiety is not only the most prevalent mental health concern around the world, it is also the fastest growing, and there's two things I really want people to get out of this from a global perspective.
00:27:15.025 --> 00:27:17.232
Number one is that we're missing the point.
00:27:17.232 --> 00:27:30.173
We're not going deep enough to help people understand what could be the cause, original cause, of anxiety in the first place and I'm going to circle back and say something about what you just said with the menopausal kind of anxiety.
00:27:30.173 --> 00:27:34.531
The second thing I want people to do is realize that there's.
00:27:34.531 --> 00:27:36.036
So the first thing I'm going to go back.
00:27:36.036 --> 00:27:43.978
The first thing that I want to do is help people realize there's much more to the picture than we're attending to, which is why people still struggle, even with beyond treatment.
00:27:44.479 --> 00:27:51.917
The second thing I want people to understand is that mental health concerns is that disruption of the essence of who we are.
00:27:51.917 --> 00:27:56.570
So mental health concerns are a direct.
00:27:56.570 --> 00:28:01.098
Let me say it the other way Our soul is a direct.
00:28:01.098 --> 00:28:05.789
The state of our soul is a direct impact or a direct influence on what our mental health is.
00:28:05.789 --> 00:28:17.569
So to me, mental health and the soul go hand in hand, and way, way, way way back when the field of medicine was created.
00:28:17.650 --> 00:28:25.797
Hippocrates, who is known to be the father of medicine, said the soul is present in every illness and in every organ of our body.
00:28:25.797 --> 00:28:27.688
That was the father of medicine.
00:28:27.688 --> 00:28:35.049
One of the founding fathers of psychology, carl Jung, which a lot of people know about, he said the same thing.
00:28:35.049 --> 00:28:45.939
But what's interesting is when we are taught in either medical school or taught in psychology, you know, for mental health, they don't focus on the soul at all.
00:28:45.939 --> 00:28:47.667
They leave that part out.
00:28:47.667 --> 00:29:09.859
So it's interesting to me that the biggest part of who we are has been ignored and dismissed, and so my number one is to get the soul back into mainstream in general, because we will never really cure mental health concerns if we don't go to that level, and I know that's a very powerful and bold statement, but it is the reality.
00:29:10.345 --> 00:29:19.978
Well, it's a sobering statement too, because the next thing is that so many people are our technicians, our therapists, our doctors all of those people are not oriented to this way of treatment.
00:29:19.978 --> 00:29:43.451
So the importance of a book like this is extremely significant, because it's beginning to open the door and hopefully people will have some aha moments and realizing that whatever they've been feeling or experiencing or their loved one has been feeling or experiencing, is something that can be cured, can be dealt with in a way where they don't have to live in constant feelings of anxiousness.
00:29:43.451 --> 00:29:45.571
And that's a really uncomfortable feeling.
00:00:00.281 --> 00:00:06.733
00:00:06.733 --> 00:00:21.689
00:00:21.689 --> 00:00:28.352
00:00:28.352 --> 00:00:31.888
00:00:43.060 --> 00:00:50.825
00:00:50.825 --> 00:00:52.545
00:00:52.545 --> 00:01:23.265
00:01:23.265 --> 00:01:35.269
00:01:35.269 --> 00:01:38.281
00:01:38.281 --> 00:01:46.254
00:01:46.254 --> 00:01:54.823
00:01:54.823 --> 00:02:01.763
00:02:02.444 --> 00:02:04.846
00:02:04.846 --> 00:02:10.876
00:02:10.876 --> 00:02:13.508
00:02:13.508 --> 00:02:18.852
00:02:18.852 --> 00:02:25.433
00:02:25.433 --> 00:02:34.731
00:02:35.180 --> 00:02:41.449
00:02:41.449 --> 00:02:43.103
00:02:43.103 --> 00:03:12.752
00:03:12.752 --> 00:03:31.670
00:03:31.670 --> 00:03:36.007
00:03:36.328 --> 00:03:38.192
00:03:38.192 --> 00:03:42.968
00:03:42.968 --> 00:03:48.872
00:03:48.872 --> 00:03:51.240
00:03:51.681 --> 00:04:03.439
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.246
00:04:06.246 --> 00:04:16.632
00:04:16.632 --> 00:04:18.000
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.810
00:04:22.250 --> 00:04:28.630
00:04:28.630 --> 00:04:32.487
00:04:32.487 --> 00:04:38.086
00:04:38.086 --> 00:04:41.000
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:48.264
00:04:48.264 --> 00:04:52.093
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.809
00:04:55.809 --> 00:04:56.430
00:04:56.430 --> 00:04:58.766
00:04:58.766 --> 00:05:02.221
00:05:02.221 --> 00:05:04.726
00:05:04.726 --> 00:05:14.545
00:05:14.545 --> 00:05:17.451
00:05:17.451 --> 00:05:21.507
00:05:21.507 --> 00:05:24.980
00:05:24.980 --> 00:05:36.762
00:05:36.762 --> 00:05:38.906
00:05:39.728 --> 00:05:40.350
00:05:40.350 --> 00:05:55.990
00:05:55.990 --> 00:06:03.107
00:06:03.107 --> 00:06:04.550
00:06:04.550 --> 00:06:07.764
00:06:07.764 --> 00:06:13.062
00:06:13.062 --> 00:06:28.485
