It's All About Health

Hay fever… caused by a nun?

I know, it sounds ridiculous. But this is one of those stories that has stayed with me.

When we were training on the PSYCH-K® health and wellbeing course, a lady shared this. She had previously done the training and went home to practise on her husband.

He wasn’t into complementary healthcare. Very logical, rooted in Western medicine, but he agreed so she could practise.

He’d had hay fever for decades, so that’s what they worked on.

During the process, it came up that the root cause linked back to when he was 8 years old.

He immediately went pale and said, “Oh my God…”

He’d gone to school at a convent. One sunny day, he and his friends climbed over a fence into a neighbouring meadow to play. They were caught by the strictest nun, dragged back, and punished. This was in the days of caning.

In that moment, his body linked:

Grass pollen = nuns with canes
Nuns = punishment
Punishment = pain and upset

From then on, every time grass pollen appeared, his body reacted.

He’d lived with hay fever for over 40 years.

Not because he was “allergic” in the way we think, but because his body was trying to protect him from something it believed was a threat.

What I love about this story is that he didn’t believe in the approach. He was just open enough to try it. What came up completely shifted both his belief and his hay fever.

It’s a reminder that your mind and body don’t always work in the logical way we expect, but there is always a reason behind the response.

In my experience, there will be an initial reaction to a person, event or situation with autoimmune conditions, not just hay fever.

When the stress is resolved and the memory is processed, the immune system can settle and the body can respond differently.

I couldn't resist experimenting the ChatGPT on this one, do you think the nasty nun looked like this one?

Why a whole person approach to health and well-being is so powerful:

Derek came to me with recurring back pain.

However, the problem wasn't with his back.

By taking a whole person approach, being open to the physical, emotional and subconscious influences on his symptoms, his body and mind were able to start letting go of patterns and stress they had been holding onto for years.

Your body and subconscious mind holds your story.

- The impact life has had on you - physically and emotionally
- What it's been able to process, and what's still being held and affecting you today.
- The internal tension patterns it has adapted around
- The ways it has compensated just to keep going

And importantly… it also knows how to unwind those patterns in a way that is safe and appropriate for you.

That’s where real, longer-term change comes from.

If you’ve got something that isn’t resolving, even though you’ve tried the “right” things, this approach may help you understand why.

Ever had pain that just doesn’t seem to make sense… or keeps coming back no matter what you try?

For some people, physical therapy works really well.

But for others, the symptoms don’t fully resolve.

Modern science has created the idea of separation.

A body made up of different systems, all working alone, or at best alongside each other.

The reality is, they are completely intertwined and work as a whole.

It’s a bit like a city.

It can look like lots of independent people and systems (transport options) all working and moving in the same place, but when one thing goes wrong, the effects spread.

We all know what happens when a traffic light stops working.

It’s not just the road that’s affected. The ripple effect reaches much further.

Your body works in the same way.

When something is out of balance, it can show up somewhere completely different.

Emotions and memories can get stored in the body and cause physical issues over time.

Those things you push down that felt too tough to deal with at the time.
Stressful events you just had to get through.

If they haven’t been fully processed, the body can keep expressing them physically.

That’s why we’ve trained in therapies that work with the whole person, not just the symptoms.

Because when pain keeps returning, it’s often not because the body is broken, but because something deeper hasn’t been resolved.

Approaches like PSYCH-K® help uncover the real cause of recurring pain and release stored stress and emotions, so the body can return to balance.

If you’re feeling stuck with ongoing pain, we offer a free 30-minute call to explore what might really be going on and whether this approach is right for you.

What organ travels around 600–700 metres every day?

Take a slow breath in right now.

Your kidneys just moved.

You likely won’t feel it, but your organs are constantly moving.

In fact your Kidneys travel a surprising distance every single day.
With every breath you take, they move around 2-2.5 cm, sliding along the Psoas muscle (one of the stabilisers of the pelvis and flexor of the hip)

Take a really deep breath, and that movement can increase to almost 10 cm.
Considering we breathe around 24,000 times a day, your kidneys end up travelling close to half a mile daily.

And they have an essential job to do whilst they move. Filtering your blood and releasing unwanted toxins as urine, amongst other vital functions.

But problems can arise when the tissues around the kidney become restricted or under tension.

Your body is highly protective of its organs, well they’re called vital organs for a reason.

So if the body senses a risk to the kidney, it will often change the way the rest of the body moves to protect it.

The protection doesn’t usually show up where the restriction actually is.

Instead it can appear as things like:
• hip pain
• the lower back suddenly “going”
• recurring knee issues
• shoulder injuries when reaching or twisting

Sometimes the original injury seems to improve… but the area never quite feels strong again.

Until the underlying restriction is resolved, the body will continue protecting the organ, and those niggles can keep returning.

This is where Visceral Manipulation can help.

Using a light, precise touch, we work with the body to identify where it’s holding tension and help restore natural movement, allowing organs like the kidney to move freely .

This principle doesn’t just apply to the kidneys.

Your body will always prioritise protecting the organs, so sometimes the missing piece in chronic or recurring pain isn’t the muscle or joint at all.

It’s the restriction somewhere deeper in the system.

If you’ve been dealing with recurring pain or injuries that never quite resolve, we offer a free clarification call to explore whether this approach might help.

I made a mess and loved it.

An early mother's day gift for my mum fitting on International Women's Day.

A wonderful few hours shared being creative and laughing at our mistakes and celebrating our masterpieces.

The clay could be unforgiving at times. I went in knowing what I wanted to make, but there were times when the clay had other ideas for how it how to be.

A lesson in going with the flow and stop trying to force things. What I produced was better when I did!

Creativity is so good for our health and embracing our playful side. Has anyone else embraced their creative side and been memory making this weekend? If so, what have you been up to?

Thank you for doing the jobs around the house whilst I was out having fun Lorna

It was a lovely way to spend my evenings.

Last week and the start of this I ran my 5 day online experience - From Frustration To Flow.

We started with a pause to have an objective view on what life was like right now.

What was working,
what was lacking,
what was out of alignment
and where a shift could have the biggest impact.

Over the sessions we explored where those frustrations and blocks came from.

How the subconscious creates are reality and how to bring it in alignment with our goals.

Plus tools to change subconscious programming and two key questions to help uncover hidden resistance.

Thank you to everyone who took part. 🙏

To commit to the sessions and take time out for yourself, setting time aside to catch-up on missed session, shows commitment to taking control of your life and your future.

The feedback has been lovely and so great to hear the insights and shifts people have had already.

If you'd be interested in coming along to the next one I run, drop me a DM.

Sticky w***y, cleavers or as you may know it best, goosegrass.

Do you remember how much fun it was sticking it to your own clothes or an unsuspecting friend’s when you were a kid?

As adults, most of us walk past it and see a w**d, without realising how amazing it actually is.

At this time of year it is growing abundantly.

I am constantly amazed by how nature provides exactly what we need for the time of year we are in. What grows in each season so often mirrors what our bodies benefit from during that season. Nature already knows….

Cleavers has traditionally been used to:

🌿 Support the lymphatic system, which plays an important role in immune health

🌿 Encourage healthy immune function

🌿 Act as a gentle diuretic, helping the body move excess fluid

🌿 Support the liver

🌿 Support the skin as part of the body’s natural clearing processes

It is incredibly simple to make into a tonic.

Harvest it from somewhere clean, away from roads and anywhere dogs may have been – we don’t need that type of watering! Give it a rinse, (you can roughly chop or bruise it slightly – I don’t) then place a generous handful into a jug of cold water and leave it to infuse overnight.

Strain it in the morning and keep it in the fridge.

Drink and enjoy. It’s a really refreshing with a delicious flavour.

It's a lovely way to add some interest if you want a break from plain water, and it costs absolutely nothing.

So who will be joining me? Cheers

Which direction should I take in life?

This has been something that has come up a lot in sessions recently.

Across a number of different areas: business, relationships, and life in general.

Something’s not right, or life doesn’t feel fulfilling, but you don’t know what’s next or how it can come about.

The usual way us humans try and resolve a problem like this is often to try and figure it all out:

🤔 Mull it over in our minds

🗣️Talk about it with friends, family members or our partners

🕵 Look at what everyone else is doing

😵‍💫 Oh yeah, and think about it and think about it and think about it so it goes round and round and round until we’ve caught ourselves up in a knot and can’t see the wood for the trees - it's OK we all do it.

What I'm about to say could well feel really counterintuitive.

Right now, you don’t need to know what’s next or which direction you need to take in life.

You just need to hold the belief at the subconscious mind level. Luckily for you, that’s something I’m trained in and very good at 🤗

Once you hold the belief, “I know the best path to take in my life,” we’d define the best core beliefs for you and make sure they’re saved....

You may have heard be, do, have, or have, do, be.

I’d like to evolve that to Believe, Do, Have.

Once that belief is in place, your mind works in an entirely different way.

🤩 You’ll spot the opportunities

🤩Know what to do next

🤩Clarity will come more naturally

🤩Aha moments will happen

You’ve uncovered a new level of wisdom and are able to naturally take action without resistance.

If you’re feeling stuck in life right now.

Caught in a frustrating loop and tired of trying to figure it all out for yourself, let’s have a conversation. It may be simpler than you think to create the belief that allows the knowledge and inner knowing to follow.

Send me a DM and I will share the link for a complimentary 30 minute call so you can finally move forwards with ease.

I love this quote.

I have this on my wall as a reminder that I can't create the changes I want to experience in my life, without letting go of what no longer serves me.

It's a constant evolution as I grow and connect more with my true self, and isn't always easy to do.

But when I take those steps and bravely let go, it always feels lighter.

What quotes or sayings inspire you or help you keep taking action towards your future vision?

Lorna 🙏

"It’s Just an opinion"

A client recently described her inner critic as a constant battle.

She felt like every time she tried to take a positive step forward such as make a decision, try something new, back herself, there was a voice pushing her down:

“You can’t do that”
“You’re not good enough.”
“You’re not capable.”

It was a constant inner struggle. Like she had to fight her way through life to make any progress.

So we did something different. A process where she allowed that part of her to have a voice.

We explored where it came from.
What it was trying to do.
How, at some point, it may even have been trying to protect her.

Then she had a beautiful realisation

She said, “I can now see that it’s just an opinion. It’s not me. It’s not my true self. Just an unwanted opinion that I can choose to either accept… or say ‘thank you for sharing’ and move forward.”

Opinions can be questioned.

They can be accepted or rejected

You don’t have to fight your inner critic.

You can acknowledge it saying - “Thank you for sharing.”

And then choose which voice or opinion you want to follow.

One that supports you in moving forward.

This approach felt much kinder and calmer for my client and a lot more constructive.

If you’ve ever felt held back by your own thinking, give this approach a try.

Let me know how you get on.

Are you putting up with pain unnecessarily?

Michele had accepted that her persistent back pain was just something she had to accept after surgery 30 years ago.

Her testimonial says it all:

“Following a traumatic leg injury which resulted in extensive deep bruising from knee to ankle ,a superficial haematoma & severe pain for several months, I decided to seek Lorna’s help!

After a consultation & a number of sessions, the swelling went down, the bruising gradually disappeared & I was free of pain.

My other concern was that I had been suffering from pain & restricted movement around a scar which had resulted from lower back surgery 30 years ago!

Lorna worked her magic, and with her hands-on therapy, I now have much more flexibility around the scar & surrounding tissue - I can now actually get out of bed in the mornings & put my socks on - without thinking about it!!

Many thanks for your kind, sympathetic & professional approach to help me through my ordeal.” Michele

It always surprises clients how old scars are impacting their body today and how quickly improvements to ongoing symptoms can be made with such light work.

If you know someone who is putting up with persistent pain following surgery, I offer a free, no obligation call.

They can ask any questions, understand more about the process and see if ScarWork is the right for them.
