If you believe you can, you will, and if you believe you can't, you won't... So simple and yet so nearly impossible to integrate... Wny?
There was a time in my life when I wanted to know what made me the way I am. Usually enquired with a somewhat-less-than optimal amount of self-grudge and self-dislike.
I never felt like I fit in, and never wanted to be like everyone else, but I did want to be seen, which I too often felt I wasn't.
A lot of water has passed in that particular river, and now I know, and truly believe, that there was no room for me to fit in, or it would have taken the glitter out of my wings and made me into something I totally wasn't.
These days of turmoil have clearly helped shape me into who I am today, but I noticed that more and more, glimpses from the past bring themselves to my conscious awareness, and with them, some fascinating clarity on why I was feeling the way I was.
A small example (as I am practising vulnerability...) which came to my head today, was the memory of a school trip with an overnight stay, where no one had remembered to pack a long-sleeved shirt or jumper for me, and I was roaming the place we stayed at frozen, and with not even one adult or teacher (I guess these could be the same person), asking me why I was so clearly under-dressed and if someone had anything spare to offer. (I was 9, btw).
I can so clearly see why this little story could have lodged itself in my subconscious story as (yet another example) of people not caring about me, and the funny thing is, that I (and you), have a thousand such stories we have, which are so deeply buried, the only thing we are aware of, is our on-the-surface behaviour.
Behaviours we now carry around as coping mechanisms to the old stories and how we kept ourselves safe, or at least less scared. Most of the time, we weren't able to make sense of the stories, and all we are left with now, as adults, are the end results - what makes us be the way we are, and why are we still repeating patterns that are so clearly not serving us?
Well, I was working with one of my clients the other day on exactly this kind of a question; consciously, we were able to identify a 'better' (or more beneficial) way of doing something, but we could also consciously see that there was a subconscious obstacle that was not going to let her move past it without figuring out what it was and how it came to be.
One of the modalities I use with my clients is the Belief Code. Using this modality, we are able to find out these pretty subconscious 'negative statements' that clarify, or bring to the surface, what created the belief system of why we're not good enough, lacking confidence, believe we'll never heal, or that money will never find its way to our wallet. Yikes!
We unearth three layers when we work with the Belief Code:
- the negative statements that highlight stories like I mentioned above
- the associated trapped emotions (the ones that describe in more detail how we truly felt about the events that ended up in the negative statements)
- the associated imbalances - other shadows we unbeknowingly entertain and which keep us tied to the past in a less-than-favourable way.
When we work with the Belief Code, we lean on the subconscious mind to fill in gaps we can't fill consciously, because it is one of the most important jobs of the SM - to remember everything we've ever been through and then hide it or surface it as is appropriate for our journey.
When we clear the negative belief systems, we gain two things:
First, we no longer operate from the old belief system, so we have the space to create better experiences for ourselves (removes the blockages, guys!)
Second, we have a conscious understanding of how we got here, and with it the ability to right some past wrongs that snuck into our systems before we had a chance to understand what was going on fully.
We all have negative belief systems, and more than one, which is driving the show without a care in the world.
If you'd like to unearth some of your own beliefs and clear the surface for more empowering ones, then I invite you to get in touch. These sessions are fascinating and may help you find answers to questions you gave up on ever finding the answers to.
Book a one-off session, or a block of 5, to get one session free and see for yourself.
Just so you know, you can book these session options for the Emotion or Body Codes too, for anything that is out of alignment - physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually.

This week in Healing Conversations...
![]() | ![]() |
This week in Healing Conversations, I was joined by Amanda Hinman to talk about natural ways to balance both thyroid and hormones!
Welcome to another episode of Healing Conversations, the podcast dedicated to exploring natural healing from every angle—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. In this episode, host Einav Avni sits down with Amanda Hinman, a women’s hormone health expert and bestselling author of The Thyroid Hormone Solution. Amanda shares her inspiring personal journey of overcoming Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and helping her daughter heal from debilitating seizures, both through natural approaches.
Together, they dive deep into the realities of thyroid health, uncovering why so many women struggle with symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, insomnia, and brain fog—and how these are often linked to thyroid imbalances. Amanda discusses the power of functional medicine, emphasising holistic health strategies that go far beyond diet and supplements. If you’re looking for tangible steps to support your thyroid and want to hear hopeful stories of transformation, this episode is your invitation to see what’s possible when you start listening to your body and reclaiming your health—naturally.

Dottie's Corner
![]() | This week has been very demanding, as I found myself doing way more grown-up stuff than I actually signed up for! There was soil digging, grass kicking, throat singing (barking), fox chasing, treat-begging... It's been a busy week, and here I am, seated at the broken table, waiting for some grown-up-humaaan food to come, but as you see me now, I am probably still waiting... Still... I hear that to manifest something, I need to see it in my mind's eye, and believe me, I've got this nailed down!!! I'm already there!!! |
