Healing in Hebden Bridge, Manchester and Leeds: healing with 2012 energy

By Fiona Cutts | Published: April 23, 2012

2012 Healing Energy

Hi! I hope you’re all well and enjoying the lengthening evenings, even if we’re still waiting for the spring warmth to come in!

I realise that when I am writing my blog, and speaking to clients and friends about the work I do that I often say things like: “of course, things are speeding up with the 2012 energy”, or “of course, healing is happening more quickly now”, or “of course, it’s 2012 – now is the time to put energy into transformation!”

Speaking like this is commonplace in healing, and what you might call “new age” circles. But I know that a few years ago, I wouldn’t really have understood what was meant by it, and what’s more, I may have had some kind of underlying cynicism about all this unsubstantiated, illogical new agey “stuff”!

So, I thought I would write about this, and give a practical example from my own life of what I mean Last Friday evening, at about 5pm as everything was shutting down for the day, and the weekend feeling was coming in, I got a call saying that my flat in London was leaking water into the flat below it….For various reasons, it was really difficult to get hold of the right people to deal with the situation, and I ended up calling out a plumber, at a lot of expense, not knowing whether the tenant would be in the flat or not. Then, a few minutes later, I got another call saying there had been a mistake, and the leak was not from my flat, but from another flat!

The whole incident took about an hour from beginning to end. I went through a whole series of emotions: fear that the whole building might collapse because of “me” and “my flat”, fear that I would be bankrupted for some reason (OK – not very logical – but I think we’re not always logical in these circumstances!), feeling out of control as I couldn’t get hold of the people I needed to get hold of, wondering why this had to happen on a Friday late afternoon, and most of all just wishing that the whole “horrid” situation would go away.

But as well as all of this, I remained calm, talked through with a friend what was the best thing to do, made the necessary phone calls quickly and gracefully, and then stopped thinking about it when I had done what needed to be done. And that’s when the “good news” call came through!

And I remembered back to a time when I had had a situation with my flat where I felt completely powerless, out of control and in what I considered to be financial “jeopardy.” The whole situation dragged on for about 2 years, really drained me (I was ill with chronic fatigue syndrome /ME at the time), and it took a long time for me to gather the resources to deal with it creatively – most of the time I was just submerged in feeling I didn’t want it to be happening!

So, this is what I see happening again and again – I and other people (clients, friends, family) are facing situations in their lives that they have faced before in different ways and are dealing with these similar situations much more quickly, and receiving the learning from the situations in a much more accelerated way. I often describe this process as a spiral: we feel we are in the same place as we were, but actually we have moved up the spiral staircase and are moving through similar events in a much more empowered way and with far more speed, grace and ease.

2012 Energy, Healing and Illness

And how does this relate to being ill and healing from illness? Firstly, I see people just being quicker to connect with the processes of energy healing and EFT, and so releasing stuck traumas and emotions more quickly, and therefore transforming themselves more quickly.

Secondly, and related to that, I believe that events in our lives reflect back to us how we are. By working through layers of stuck emotions and traumas from the past as we do with energy healing and the Emotional Freedom technique (EFT), we are able to deal with what life gives us much more creatively. And although it may seem a little mysterious, and I cannot explain why it is happening, I see it again and again that people are moving through similar life events much more quickly, and with much less trauma and stress – when they are prepared to do the work of really looking at themselves and being prepared to see what learning the situation holds for them.

I feel that this is a really good time to be working on oneself with energy healing and EFT. I see people releasing patterns and traumas from the past and living with greater ease and freedom much more quickly than when I was first doing this work.

If you feel inspired by this, and would like to know more about the healing sessions I offer, then contact me here. And if you have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / ME, and would like to know more, then have a look at my other website which is dedicated to ME.

Healing from ME: My New Website “Treatment for ME” is Ready!

By Fiona Cutts | Published: April 14, 2012

Hi everyone! I hope you’re all well, and enjoying the intermittent sunshine!

I am delighted to let you know that, after quite a lot of work (as these things tend to be!) my new website about ME / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is live! Take a look at www.treatmentforme.net. May this website be a valuable and informative resource for all those suffering with this debilitating condition, and may it lead to healing, wellness and vitality!

I was wondering what to write at this time of the new website, and, as usual, my clients are helping me know what to write about! This week, I have been particularly struck by 3 of my regular clients’ process. They are all people who are used to looking at the patterns in their lives with a high degree of honesty and awareness. And yet, I felt that the way they all were this week in their healing sessions had somehow “shifted” a gear: they were all ready for transformation at a deeper level, and ready to do what it took in terms of looking at themselves and their patterns.

I know that in the last few weeks, I have also been looking at myself more deeply. Things that maybe I have wanted to avoid, or pretend weren’t there have continued to surface, and somehow, I too have managed to find the courage to look more deeply. Knowing how we are all interconnected, I believe that my willingness to work on myself is affecting my clients, and vice versa – a virtuous spiral!

At its most simple level, how can I ask my clients to practice the Emotional Freedom Technique at home, if I am not doing it myself? So, with the launch of this new website, I yet again commit to deepening my own personal healing practice, knowing the effect it has on my clients and others close to me.

And I feel this is a great time to be doing this healing work. I feel that the energy of 2012 is really accelerating the process of transformation and healing for people. So, if you’ve been thinking about finding out more about the work I am doing with people suffering from ME / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, then go to the new website, and sign up for my free newsletter: Healing your mind and body of ME the natural way. This will be a free resource for people with healing tips, information about different ways of working with ME, and details of any events, workshops or programmes I am running, or talks I am giving.

Sign up in the next ten days, and you will be entered into a free draw – with a thirty minute phone Emotional Freedom Technique Session as the prize!

And by the way, it’s not all hard work for me – I include singing and dancing as part of my healing practice!!

Healing in Hebden Bridge: the difference between curing and healing

By Fiona Cutts | Published: April 9, 2012

People often ask me if I can “cure” a specific condition or illness, or what the difference is between “healing” and “curing.”

I remember when I was first ill with chronic fatigue syndrome / ME, I wanted a “cure.” And by that, I understood that I wanted the whole “nasty” incident of illness to go away and for my life to be exactly the same as it was before I became ill. And I suppose that is still what I understand by “cure” – the symptoms going away, and life returning to “normal.”And I suppose it is similar to what we read about in the press when researchers are looking for a “cure” in the “battle” against some kind of cancer.

This is not at all my experience of my healing journey with chronic fatigue syndrome / ME – and it is not what I see with a lot of my clients and friends either.

For me, part of my journey with healing from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / ME was looking at myself and taking responsibility for some of the unhealthy patternings I had created which were keeping me stuck in illness.

Some of these were patterns which started in childhood. For example, being criticised a lot as a child led to me living my life in such a way that I would gain the approval of people I perceived as being in a position of authority. Living like this for other people means denying the deeper wishes and longings of the heart, and can be very damaging over time. Energy healing and EFT, particularly connected with childhood events (see my post on inner child healings) can be very helpful in releasing the desire to please other people, and beginning to live an authentic life – at whatever age we are!

Another pattern I had to look at was the pattern of eating to give myself love. I was often given food as a reward for having succeeded at something – and I internalised this, and used food as a substitute for other more healthy mechanisms for reaching out for the love I needed. I believe from my own experience and that with clients that when we eat when we are in an unbalanced emotional state, we literally “eat” those emotions with the food we eat at that time. And this is part of the reason why when we go on a limited diet in a detox, we literally refeel those emotions that we didn’t want to feel at the time. Of course, feeling them is very healing, as it releases the energy that was tied up in keeping the emotions held in – and leads to us being more healthy and more energetic.

These are just a couple of examples, but they are typical of the type of issues people need to look at on a healing journey.

And, coming back to the difference between healing and curing, it seems obvious to me that if people need to look at these kind of issues from the past, they will be changed in the process – often quite dramatically. It’s now 9 years since I was first diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / ME, and my life is almost unimaginably different from then! In a way, I suppose this is unsurprising as the things I had been doing in my life before that time had led to me becoming ill – so it makes sense that I would have to change them. On the other hand, I think that when people are first ill, they just desperately want their lives to be how they were before they became ill.

So, part of what I call the healing journey is coming to terms with the fact that often some things in our lives have to change at quite a fundamental level, and this requires taking responsibility for some habits we have built up.

Now, I feel my life is more fulfilling and full of joy than ever before – and I wouldn’t dream of wanting to go “back” to where I was before I became ill. And, although I would never say I am pleased to have had ME / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I can say I feel grateful to CFS / ME for giving me the opportunity to look at so much in my life, heal it and now live more authentically and with more freedom than I ever used to.

Healing from ME: the science supporting healing with the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

By Fiona Cutts | Published: April 2, 2012

Science Behind the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

Hello from the cold of the Pennines! Just I was getting used to the warm sunshine, and thinking cold was a thing of the past (until next winter) the cold has come back, and I am sitting wrapped up in several layers again! Never mind—-5 rhythms dance tonight will give me a chance to get warm again!

Again, I was wondering what to write this week, and again the answer just came to me in some reading I was doing about the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT.) Although what I was reading was already familiar to me, it somehow went deeper, and made me realise yet again the power of this and other energy therapies.

The article I read was focussing on explaining the effectiveness of the Emotional Freedom Technique through looking at cutting edge neural science – how the brain interprets information, the problems that can give us in our day to day lives, and how techniques like EFT can use the knowledge of how the brain works to our advantage to heal us from the “tyranny” of the past.

Often when we are children things happen in our lives which we don’t like, and over which we have no control. For example, a child may stand up in front of the class to say something, get it a bit wrong, and be ridiculed. Whilst this may not seem like a big thing at the time, it can form the basis of years, decades or even a lifetime of finding it hard to present information in front of a group of people, for fear of being ridiculed. If the adult feels the fear of this happening often enough, this fear can lead to physical symptoms, and even illness. (Typically, in my view a chronic illness such as ME / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome comes about partly because of a number of these “repeating” events, or what are sometimes called “images”: reprinting the past onto a current situation.)

In terms of the brain, we make neural connections between in this case speaking in front of a group of people, and being ridiculed. And more than that – if we think about this in advance, and worry about it, we strengthen those neural connections, and make it even more likely that the same event will replay in the same way. And even more than that, if the first “event” occurred when we were 7 or 8, say, then when we are in that state, we actually revert to having the resources of a 7 or 8 year old to deal with the situation.

No wonder it’s hard! We are facing a situation where experience tells us we will be ridiculed, and we have the resources of a little child at our disposal!

However, help is at hand – the Emotional Freedom Technique has been shown to change those neural connections. The process of tapping on specific points whilst being in touch with the corresponding “story” (I get scared of giving presentations, everyone always ridicules me) somehow “releases” that connection – so we are no longer in fear when giving a presentation, no longer dealing with this situation with the resources of an 8 year old – but approaching each new situation just as it is – as a new situation.

How This Relates to a Chronic Condition Such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / ME

It’s obvious how this can help with specific fears, phobias or emotional issues, which is what EFT is (rightly) well known for helping with. But it can also be hugely helpful in the case of chronic physical illness. For, holding those patterns from the past can be hugely disempowering, and can cause us to form a pattern of chronic stuckness which can lead to physical symptoms that are characteristic of chronic physical conditions.

For that reason, I include a lot of EFT in the work I do with clients suffering from ME / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. “Neutralising” events from the past can liberate people from the “tyranny” of the past – and free up energy for the healing process. And because it is a simple technique to use, it can be used outside of sessions with a therapist, meaning that people have a powerful self-help tool to move through whatever is holding them back from being really well.

Speaking personally, I know that working on these types of events from the past has been hugely powerful. I think before I understood how healing worked, I assumed I would just feel more energetic than before – as ME / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is mainly about feeling tired! The reality is that I do have incomparably more energy than before – but it has emerged partly through healing these past “events” – so I feel that I am much more confident in a wide range of situations, which is really empowering.

Healing from ME: More thoughts on committing to a healing process

By Fiona Cutts | Published: March 26, 2012

Hi everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the experience of spring, sunshine on the skin and freshness in the air as much as I am! I am just loving living out here near Hebden Bridge more and more as time goes by………feeling more “rooted” in my house and in the land…..

Last week, I wrote about how one of the clients on my ME programme has been experiencing huge shifts in his condition just by committing to the programme and coming to see me once (you can read the blog post here: Healing from ME: Committing to a Healing Process). Writing about it, I felt delighted but also slightly surprised, even though I was writing about it with confidence.

And then last week, I had my own “aha” moment regarding this idea of committing to something that you know is good for you and your ultimate wellbeing. For many years now, I have been thinking about having my mercury fillings removed, and replaced with non-harmful alternative materials. There is a lot written about how mercury is related to a host of illnesses and conditions, including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / ME.

So, when I was first diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / ME, I thought about having my mercury fillings removed – and, to be quite honest, at that point couldn’t quite make it happen……like a lot of things from that time of my life. And then, when I was at the School of Energy healing, it was something that we talked about quite a lot, because of its detrimental effect on health, and I felt really motivated to have it done.

In the end, at the time, I decided not to because I was already spending what I considered to be a lot of money on my health – the Energy healing training, visits to my own healer and nutritionist, as well as money on nutritional supplements and organic fruit and vegetables. Similarly, I was spending a lot of time on my health and wellbeing. I was working as an accountant at the time, and had quite a busy life outside of my job and my energy healing training – so the thought of going to the dentist regularly for a month or two just seemed like an extra thing in an already busy schedule that i just didn’t want…..

Anyway, last Thursday I went for an initial checkup at a holistic dentist in Manchester which specialises in the removal of mercury fillings. I immediately felt hugely reassured as the dentist talked knowledgeably and in what I call a “holistic” way. The way he spoke, and the energy I picked up from him just really resonated with the way I seem health and wellness. I have been in the strange position for the last few years of being in an overall holistic health paradigm, but going to a “mainstream” dentist. This made me feel slightly uncomfortable in general, but it was when i was offered a mercury filling that I really began to question why I was going to this particular dentist.

The relief I felt from committing to myself and my own health and wellbeing far outweighs any remaining concerns I may have about the time and the money. I think that somewhere subconsciously I just feel really pleased that I am deciding to invest in myself and in my health – and I suppose this was what my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / ME client was also feeling.

I was talking about money with a dear friend of mine – and she just said to me “can you imagine where you would be now if you hadn’t spent that money on healings and training to be an energy healer?” And that is so true – I cannot even think of how my life would be if I hadn’t had the courage to commit to the healing I needed. And, of course in practical terms, my increased health and resilience mean I am have many more possibilities to earn money than when I was ill with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / ME.

Although nowadays I feel hugely energetic, and more well than I have done for years, it is interesting that even then I feel a massively positive shift in energy as I commit to a process that I know will improve my health.

If you’re interested in reading about the effects of mercury fillings on health, then take a look at this article in the Independent, or just google to see a lot of information about it. I am also most likely to be writing about my experience over the next few weeks in my blog posts.
