IQ-169: To Heal Yourself, Be Careful Not to “Lean” into Your Emotions

In this week's quick IQ episode (which is IQ-169) , Brandy addresses a common misconception about working with emotions and the mind. Many people have been told that “leaning into their feelings” or emotions is good for them, but this approach can actually backfire and make the pain worse. How you work with your mind DOES matter.  Brandy shares key insights into why it's crucial to avoid immersing yourself in negative emotions and how this can exacerbate problems, using real-life examples and analogies to illustrate the point. Discover the importance of re-patterning your mind towards positive emotions first, and learn effective strategies for lasting emotional transformation. Join Brandy as she discusses insights from recent messages, listener questions, and past episodes, including a powerful example with their volunteer, Shirley from episodes 247 and 248, demonstrating the immediate impact of shifting away from fear. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how to work with your emotions in a way that promotes healing and reduces pain, ultimately leading to a healthier, happier life. IMPORTANT NOTE: We understand that some may believe mind-body healing is impossible. Therefore, if you would like to see images of individuals using their minds to relieve pain, you can check out this medical journal. It includes images from some of Brandy's case studies. If you want to learn how to use your mind to heal yourself, you can check out the training on Brandy's website. Each week, Brandy publishes a volunteer episode where she coaches a volunteer to heal themselves using their own mind. In addition, Brandy shares a quick IQ episode (Insights and Questions) where she answers listener questions or delves deeper into insights on working with the mind for healing.
