This is a bonus episode, because it was totally unplanned. Since recording the last episode, I’ve read a book that's expanded my outlook on the stages of the healing process and it’s inspired me to record this episode. The book is called ‘The 12 Stages Of Healing: A Network Approach To Wholeness’ by Donald M Epstein and Nathaniel Altman.In episode 4:  The 6 Stages Of Healing, I stated that: “While these 6 stages are useful to describe the phases of healing we go through on a physical level, they’re not an adequate representation of the stages of spiritual healing or personal growth, which as we saw in the previous episode, is far more complex.”In a stroke of Divine Timing, Epstein’s book landed in my lap and has provided me the words to describe those stages of spiritual healing I was talking about. I’m so glad the book came to me when it did, because it’s allowed me to finish this season with this extra information, nicely filling in some blanks and completing the picture. Echoes of sadnessMusic I Use: Bensound.com/royalty-free-musicLicense code: OPCMRQNQ52R6GLJEArtist: : TURNIQUE

In this episode, I’ll be discussing the skills we can learn, and the tools we can use to reveal and heal the hidden roadblocks we’ve already talked about, so we can accelerate our healing and personal growth. Life may not come with a manual, but we’re all born with an inbuilt guidance system - our intuition and discernment, which are our super-senses. If our super-senses are not put to regular use they can atrophy over time, but learning how to dowse can rehabilitate them. Music credit: Mykola Sosin from Pixabay

In this episode I’m going to talk about metaphysical roadblocks. Metaphysical roadblocks are non-physical obstacles, for instance, non-beneficial beliefs, emotional, ancestral or past life trauma, or spiritual barriers, that can hinder a person's ability to fully heal and achieve wholeness. Before we get started, its worth remembering that we only perceive about one-tenth of a billionth of the electromagnetic spectrum, so most of what exists in our reality are things we cannot see, hear, smell, taste or touch. It’s only when we slow down and take notice of our bodies, our emotions and feelings, our surroundings, that we can become aware of this unseen world. Music credit:Unbreakable ResolveMusic by Bensound.comLicense code: CXZI8XQ4IKITOXG1Artist: : Lunar Years

In this episode I’ll be discussing external roadblocks that can come from your environment. When your environment is out of balance it can put your health out of balance too.

In this episode I’ll be discussing external roadblocks to healing, which are those roadblocks that come from the world around us, and ones which we may have less control over. I’m going to start by talking about the subcategory of iatrogenesis, which is by far the most significant external roadblock to healing.Iatrogenesis is defined as the causation of a disease, a harmful complication, or other ill effect by any medical activity, and it's the third leading cause of death in many countries after heart disease and cancer. In this episode I will also be sharing some of my own personal experiences with iatrogenesis and my suggestions for how to avoid or minimise it.

In this episode, I define what hidden roadblocks to healing are and put them into categories, so we can break them down into bite-sized chunks and chew them over in the next few episodes. Enjoy!Music credit: Mykola Sosin from Pixabay
