#468 What if some of the beliefs we hold about healing are actually limiting what we believe is possible?
👉 Work with me: https://www.guylawrence.com.au/booking/
I recently held a free online group healing session with over 100 people joining from the comfort of their own homes. What unfolded, and the experiences people shared with me afterwards, got me reflecting on just how much our understanding of healing can shape what we’re open to experiencing.
In this solo episode, I explore five common beliefs around healing that I feel are worth questioning.
Does healing have to happen in person? Is it only about the physical body? Is the practitioner the one actually doing the healing? And how much does our analytical mind get in the way of what’s possible?
I also share some of the feedback from the online session and what I’ve come to understand through years of holding space for people in retreats, workshops and energy healing experiences.
One thing I’ve come to appreciate is that healing isn’t necessarily about reaching some final destination where everything is suddenly fixed.
It’s an ongoing journey of becoming more aware, taking ownership of our choices and opening ourselves to possibilities we might not have considered before. And perhaps we’re capable of far more than we’ve been led to believe.

Guy:
What if our understanding of healing is far more limited than what we’re actually capable of experiencing? I literally held a online healing immersion for over 100 people last week. People came in from everywhere, from all over the world, and the energy was extremely palpable. And through that process, I asked people to email me later, how did they experience, how did they go? And I was overwhelmed by the responses of s- feelings, of sensations, of, uh, peace that they’ve never felt before. We had somebody report knee pain that was keeping them awake at night, completely gone at the end of the session. There was other ones of certain elements where they could feel it opening and expanding their chest, and they felt they were actually getting pains and sensations at that time, as if it’s moving through.
And then the next day, it had all settled down and they felt more integrated within themselves. There was reports of cats coming in that were going all over the place, and then as soon as the healing began, where we worked with the divine energy, the pets, the cats would settle down and, and received as well. The list goes on and on. So today, I want to explore five beliefs about healing that I think we might have fundamentally wrong or can learn from. And after what I witnessed last week, uh, I can’t help but wonder just how much more we’re capable of than we’ve been led to believe. Let’s get into this.
Guy:
All right, so number one, and it– I’m trying to frame them the right way, but people, we tend to limit ourselves and think healing is just a physical th-thing. It’s purely physical. And the quote that stands out for me, and I disagree with this wholeheartedly, and the, the quote that stands out for me is by Dr. George Engel, which I first heard upon with Dr. Gabor Maté, who I had on my podcast a couple of years ago now. But Dr. George Engel, who Gabor Maté referred to, was basically that you can’t separate biology from your psychology. And biology is obviously the physical component of it, right? And then the psychology from the environment and the connection, and Gabor Maté takes it one further into spirit as well.
So biology, psychology, environment, and connection, and spirit, they’re all intertwined. And we are so conditioned. We have an incredible habit of, when I’m in pain, I’m gonna move back to this comfort space of zone. But if I’m– if my life is absence of disease, then I must assume I’m healthy, which I believe couldn’t be further from the truth. And ultimately, there, there’s elements that are going on beyond our awareness, beyond the surface, and at some stage, the, the, the noise gets so loud it, it attracts our attention. And for the first time we’re like, “Oh, me? Why? Why is this happening now?” kind of thing. And then we look for the physical aspects.
We start exercising, which I’m all for. We start taking supplements, which is all for. We go to doctors. We get prescribed. We have all these different things that are physical that just wanna take this away and fix it, and it’s not looking at the holistic whole view of everything from the biology, the psychology, the environment, and the connection. Referring back to what happened last week on the, the healing session, as we channeled that divine energy, we are actually working on fundamentals of the energy component and the expansive self So that leads more into then supporting the psychology, supporting the environment that you’re in at the time, and the connection that’s happening energetically, and is then connecting to divine source and spirit.
So these are all elements that then come in downstream and can support the physical as well. Is it a magic wand? Absolutely not. Do people have amazing occurrences? Yes, and I even mentioned about the knee pain of somebody, but I know for a fact that that person has been working with us for a while and is developing a deeper sense of awareness, and through the practices and techniques, and then is able to fully let go and allow that energy to move through. So if there’s one thing I want you to consider while we’re doing this, what, what, what ideas are you hanging onto around the challenges in our life?
Because for me, healing is healing on an emotional level. It’s healing on a mental level. It’s, it’s… it shapes the way we feel. It shapes the way we behave. It shapes… it starts to shape our values. Once we start having these experiences, it tends to filter through, and it opens us up. It opens us up to wanna connect with other people. It opens us up to being a bit more vulnerable and dropping the mask. It opens us up to finding our voice and speaking our truth, and not being pushed around or giving ourselves to everything and everyone else, and never bringing us to ourselves first.
But we have to make the decisions. We have to s- want to explore this and not just feed the mind, but actually get into these embodied experiences that are supporting us on all levels. Okay? So that’s the first thing. The second thing is, is that we fall into and get seduced by the mind. The mind knows best, and quite often we are, again, are so conditioned to, um- solving everything go into the mind first. And, and you’ll often say about us, um, what I’m saying is really coming back to the heart and the intuitive self and the g- the f- the creative self. Uh, at the end of the day, I believe our souls are here to create, and then that through that creation, the mind can be the servant to the heart, but we’ve got it rewired r- the wrong way around.
And so often we go to the mind, d- and then the mind is actually trying to control everything and control outcomes, and it, it stops us from leaning into the muscle of faith. It stops us leaning into the muscle of flow and that muscle of creation because we’re constantly analyzing. We’ve been conditioned from day dot at school, right? Going t- all the way through, and the more we study and the more we, um, go to the analytical mind and the more we understand, the more we think we’re in control of everything. And, uh, I’m not so sure, and in my life, I found my mind got me in trouble. I’m not a very intellectual guy anyway, in some respects, even though m- my, my mind and heart tend to work together pretty well these days.
But, um, I am much more in faith of trusting what’s coming from here. But the challenge, one of the biggest challenges is, is that we’re quite often we’re in our mind thinking we’re in our hearts. And we’re really trying, and we’re really trying to get as opposed to be in there. And, you know, that’s half the, the thing that we try and unpack for people. I mean, I’ve even got this acronym on you for the, the H-E-A-R double T, which I’ll do in a separate podcast at some stage about a framework of getting to your heart. None of this is hard. It’s actually quite simple. But like I’ve always said before, you know, from a physical standpoint, uh, cutting sugar out your diet is actually a very simple thing to do and can be tremendously beneficial for you on your health journey of how you’re feeling, you know?
But It’s, it’s hard. People make it so hard. Look at the complexity of diets and nutrition and things like that. Do we really need to, and how do we simplify it for us? Anyway, it’s always a balance. I’m not knocking anything, but that’s another thing, uh, to be completely aware of, because I feel our mind is actually limiting our potential. If we don’t understand it, we discredit it, and, um, quite often then these experiences and, and leaning into, like, the, the work I’m doing and what we do at the retreats, it, it’s like the m- the sooner we turn this off and get out the way and just feel and be in gratitude, the better the outcome is gonna be long term.
All right. Uh, number three, another limiting belief, uh, it’s interesting, and I was kind of… One of the things I tried explaining the other day, it’s like, ” Hang on, you did that online? You did that over the internet? Where’s everyone else? Why aren’t, you know, why aren’t they in the room with you?” And I was like, “Well, A, I got a s- small office room here. I’m not gonna fit 100 people or 200 people in here.” But it boggles the mind. It’s like, if I don’t go in to see a practitioner, if I don’t go in to the, this person, when you start looking at in terms of spirituality and energy, and e- even what Einstein was talking about, spooky action and the distance and, you know, how we can influence things through thought and intent alone, and it’s like all the…
And we’re always looking for evidence to appease the mind to, to say, “Oh, this, this experience can happen.” But I can assure you, uh, when, when you really start to open up into this work, it, it’s phenomenal, and you can be remote anywhere at any given space to, to support one energetically. You absolutely don’t know. I actually did a healing, uh, about three weeks ago. I say healing, I’m gonna get into this word in a minute because it bugs me. Anyway, um, that, uh, I worked with someone remotely just with a photograph. You could just absolutely tune into the energy, and I texted the, them the, the going in now kind of thing, and they surrendered.
And when they came out the other end, they absolutely felt open, and they felt the energy coming th- through from me, the divine source energy, and it was working its way through, and they got a, an incredible result from that, off the back end of that. So you g- again, let’s not limit our potential of what’s possible. The more we stay into curiosity and openness and lean in, uh, I feel the more we can start to, uh, expand, evolve, and grow from all of these. Uh, the number four, um, the healer does the healing. There you go. Uh, no. No. Um, when you go to the doctors and they prescribe you s- like, if you cut yourself and they put stitches on you, who’s doing the healing?
Y- your body. Your body is, right? But it comes back to we’re giving it the conditions and the environment to support the body’s natural healing abilities and to, to occur. It’s like the more we can s- stack odds in our favor across the different components of the l- the life that we are living from, you know, the relationships, from the, the jobs that we… the, or the career that we have, from where we actually live in and the environment we live in, and, um, the, the foods that we’re eating, the movements that we do, they’re all spokes that are coming into supporting that turnover of the body. And then what this, this energy can do, and as we expand and open up into it and call it in, what that can do is, is really move from a different point.
Because I believe at the fundamental root of a lot of this stuff is, is basically stored emotions that have un- been unresolved, and that can then go into lineage as well, and past lives if you’re open to it, you know? Um, I mean, you’re not gonna find this really in any medical book. I can only go from what I witness and see and, and, and as shifts occur. And with all of that happening, that then allows the nervous system and a reorganization of the turnover of cells that are happening any given moment, any given second.
You know, we’ve got millions of cells coming online every single second, and the instructional input of the environment that we have created and what they’re coming into is, uh, can be shifted. And over that time- It can make a big difference. Let’s just say that. Okay? Uh, I hope this is landing. And what have I got for number five? Uh, yeah, once you’re healed, you’re done. Let’s just get back on with life. This kind of goes back into this m- w- the h- one of the, the biggest challenges I think, is that we kinda cruise through life and, and staying within comfort. And I, and I… Don’t get me wrong, I like comfort as much as the next person. I enjoy a piece of chocolate.
I, I have a splurge. I’ll have a pizza now and then. You know, I do things, but I’m doing it from a place of where I really nurture the, the health status of myself on a regular basis. Um, and, and then when I do that, I’m doing it from a place of, I’m just gonna enjoy this in this moment. I’m not needing it to escape something or some emotion that’s within me that’s not feeling being heard or felt or expressed and allowed to move through, so I’m just gonna continue to distract myself through chemicals and food and different things, TV, social media, and all those things that can keep us out.
There’s a vast difference between, um, just being present and with what is to just bullshitting yourself. And, and I feel then this element of I’ve just gotta get this done to then get on w- get it so I can just move on is, is really not a great approach. For me, it’s like I’ve always kind of just steadied the ship and pointed myself in a new direction, and just constantly, day by day, bit by bit, started bringing these different experiences, adding things in, trying them on for size.
Do I like it? Do I not? Moving on, is that helping me move the needle over the next months, two months, three months? And those are the things that start to w- to work. Sometimes it’s good to go and actually lose your way and fall back into old habits because then it reminds you that all the things that you were doing are actually a good thing as well. And you know what? I was gonna mention, I completely spaced it, I was gonna mention at the beginning of the podcast, but if you’re still here, you’re more likely to enjoy it, is that the healing that I did last week, um- held, I should say, uh, is I’ve made it freely available. So below, uh, there’ll be a link and, uh, you can try it out for size.
And again, email it. Let me know how you go with it. Obviously, it’s not in person. It wasn’t at the event, but it’ll start to give you a bit of an idea of the work I’m doing and, uh, what we do as well over at, uh, Live in Flow at the events and retreats and stuff like that as well. So let me know if these resonate with you and how it helps. Um, one thing I’ve, I’ve realized over the years is that I wanna share ideas and things that are coming to me just to give you these drops of inspiration. And even if you’re re-hearing them from different ways, that’s all good because I, I sometimes feel you can never not hear this stuff enough, uh, to keep us, um, to keep us inspired to go in the direction that we want, um, moving forward.
Anyway, much fro-love from me. Uh, if you enjoy this podcast, leave us a comment below in YouTube.
