Taking Her Healing to the Next Level

mind, had to believe it for it to be so. If she were to embrace the joy of being well and give thanks before the healing occurred, then her body would begetting a sampling of her future in the present moment.
I suggested to Joann that she really pay attention to her thoughts,
because it washer thoughts that had truly made her sick. I pressed her to get beyond the personality that was connected to her condition, which was necessary before she could create anew personality and anew personal reality. Now she could apply meaning and intention to what she was doing.
Two months after that workshop, Joann attended a second, more advanced workshop in Seattle. Her scooter had broken down the day before she left for that event, so she used her motorized wheelchair to get around. Despite initially feeling more vulnerable because of that, at the workshop, Joann soon felt better able to move. Her associative memory related to the positive experience of the last event, and the expectation of getting better in the current event, was what initiated that process. If percent of chemo patients can experience anticipatory nausea before their chemo treatments (as you read in Chapter 1
), then maybe it’s possible for some of the workshop participants to experience anticipatory wellness when they’re back in the workshop setting. Whatever the trigger,
Joann saw anew possibility and, with enthusiasm, began once again to emotionally embrace that future in the present moment.
During the last meditation of that workshop, the magic happened for her. Joann experienced a huge internal shift, and she felt something that moved her profoundly. She felt her body changing automatically, once she entered her autonomic nervous system and it received the new instructions and took over. She felt lifted, overjoyed, and free. After the meditation, Joann got up from her chair a different person than she’d been when she’d sat down—she was in anew state of being. She then walked to the front of the room—without any support, not even her cane.
She strutted across the room wide-eyed, laughing like a child. She could feel and move her legs, which had been dormant for years.
She’d gotten out of the way—and it felt incredible To my amazement,
Joann had signaled new genes in new ways right during that one meditation. She’d actually changed her condition in just one hour!
When she got beyond her MS identity, she became a different person,
and that’s when she stopped trying to slow, stop, or reverse her MS. She no longer tried to prove anything to herself, her family, her doctors, or anyone else. She understood and experienced for the first time that her true journey was always about wholeness, which is what verifiable healing is always about. She forgot that she had an official disease, and she

dissociated from that identity fora moment. The freedom that doing so engendered and the amplitude of that elevated emotion were strong enough to switch on anew gene. Joann knew that MS was simply a label,
like mother wife or boss She had changed that label by simply giving up her past.
