Do You Believe in Your Ability to Heal?

Do you truly believe in your ability to heal, to be abundant, or to experience the life you deeply desire?
Many of us say we believe … but do we really? I’ve learned that if we don’t truly believe, with our whole being, we end up constantly looking outside of ourselves for answers, healing, joy, or validation. I did this for many years. I thought someone else would save me. Change me. Heal me.

It’s taken 15 years of deep inner work, challenge, and devotion for me to slowly uncover the truth:
the power really does lie within us, but we must choose to connect with it.

Returning to the Work

Three and a half years ago, I attended my very first Dr Joe Dispenza retreat in Cancun. It completely shifted the lens through which I viewed life — and myself. I walked away understanding that there was so much more to who we are than our bodies, our thoughts, or our past conditioning.

Two weeks ago, I returned to Cancun for the very first 10-day Advanced Follow-Up Retreat. Tickets sold out in under 20 minutes and this event was only open to people who had already completed a week-long. Getting there was not easy — I’d had a really difficult six months leading up to it. There were days I almost cancelled. But something deep inside me was speaking — my soul urged me to go, and I am beyond grateful I listened.

When I arrived, my intentions were crystal clear around wanting to understand more about my soul and the journey here and how we bridge the 3rd and 5th dimension. I was looking for deeper answers than before especially after a very intensive 2.5 years of studying spiritual mastery and healing. I was coming to this event as a new version of myself and hungry to learn and understand and be open and curious to what I didn’t know and understand. In the same breath – I was also dealing with painful aspects of the ‘old personality’ that had creeped in — parts of me holding onto past pain and heaviness — was still very present. But I knew that this experience was the perfect opportunity to finally lay it down. To surrender, let go and open to the change. To consciously create a different version of me.

That’s what these events offer — they take you out of the known. Out of the patterns and people and environments that keep your old personality alive. And in that space — change becomes possible. Sometimes uncomfortable … but always transformational.

What I Learned (Again) — But Deeper This Time

I can write for days and share very personal and transformational aspects of this experience, but in short, I would like to share some of the key takeaways that moved through me – not just mentally, but cellularly. Many of these were NOT new to me, but as we learn and grow and we keep hearing information and experiencing the information, there is the potential for more profound shifts to occur. I am sharing these really powerful reminders of who we are and how we heal in the hope that they plant or feed the seed within you too.

1. We are not who we think we are.

   I am not my body, and I am not my mind – I simply am (I am that I am!). This retreat helped me feel this truth on a deeper level. Beneath the layers of conditioning, stories, and personality exists pure awareness. A consciousness that isn’t defined by the past or limited by circumstance. I have always known this intellectually, but more and more I am feeling it in my body. As we drop into meditation, into the stillness within the void and we let go of the personality, the mind – we open to the deep knowing that we are NOT the body, we are so much more!

2. Only 0.001% of what we see is real.

   Atoms are 99.999% energy and only 0.001% matter. That means our daily attention is often placed on virtually nothing – on the tiny sliver of reality that is visible, instead of the vast field of energy that holds all potential. What if we began to explore and build a relationship with the unseen? What might become possible if we opened our awareness to the 99.999%?

3. Everything we need already exists in the field.

   Healing, wholeness, abundance, guidance – it is all there. But just like any language, we must learn how to communicate with it. Practice, intention, attention and consistency are essential. It’s not about “hoping”, to the contrary, it’s about training our consciousness to interact with the intelligence (what scientist call ‘the field’) that surrounds and moves through all things.

4. Disease is simply an imbalance in energy.

   If our thoughts, feelings and actions shape our reality, then our health must reflect our energy. To change disease, we must change the way we think, feel, and behave. As Dr Joe says:
   “You have to change your personality to change your personal reality.”
   Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken, it’s about bringing the system back into harmony. This is ALL possible when we learn to understand that we are mostly energy and the way we engage with the field (also just energy) can completely transform our experience in this plane.

5. We are not meant to create from matter.

   Most people try to change their lives by pushing and forcing the physical (trying to manipulate matter), but creation from the field is different. It requires openness, presence, and awareness and most importantly getting out of the way and letting go of the ego and known self. When we shift our attention from matter to energy – from survival to creation – we become capable of more than we ever believed possible. In reality – this becomes a shift from what we believe to be everything to nothing, but to the contrary, it is a shift from nothing – to endless possibilities!!

6. What we believe, we become.

   “I’ll believe it when I see it” is the old model. The new paradigm is: I will see it when I believe it. From healing to human potential, we see again and again that belief opens the door. When one person achieves the “impossible,” (just like Roger Bannister did with the 4-minute mile) others realise what is possible for them too. This is how new realities are born, one belief at a time. Without belief, there is nothing!!

7. Perspective shapes our entire experience.

   When we see the world as unsafe, we live from fear. When we view life as an opportunity to grow, love, and connect, we show up differently. A shift in perspective doesn’t change the external situation – it changes how we meet it. That alone can alter everything.

8. Collective intention is powerful.

   As a collective, we are capable of so much more than we can achieve alone. Research is beginning to show how group intention can alter the energy of a space and influence outcomes. This comes to life so clearly during Dr Joe’s coherence healings. My first experience was in June 2022 and I could never have imagined how deeply it would open my heart and as a result change me! Loving someone into health without needing anything back felt like the greatest gift I could give and receive. Since then, I have continued as a healer inside and outside of the events, and I am currently part of one of the official coherence healing groups. During this recent retreat, we completed six coherence healings, and I still don’t have words to describe the beauty of it. What I do know is this: we are far more powerful than we realise and when we stand together, we can take what is possible to new heights. 

9. The unknown is sacred.

   We do not need to know how everything will unfold, only that we are willing to meet it. The unknown isn’t empty; it is alive with potential. In fact, scientist, Dr David Tong demonstrates just how much is actually alive in the void. The more we release control and soften into trust, the more life can meet us. I haven’t experienced the mystical yet, but I feel I am getting closer, not because I am striving, but because I am slowly letting go. The layers are letting go of layers of lifetimes of conditioning and leaning in with a coherent heart and brain will over time bring me closer to the truth of the mystical, this much I know is true. The unknown, I am realising, is not something to fear, it is something to embrace.

A Final Reflection

This retreat felt like a gift from my soul – one I didn’t even know I was asking for. I arrived with a heavy heart, carrying more than I realised … and I left with a deeper understanding of who I am, why I am here, and how incredibly unlimited we all are.

What I am realising more and more is:
We are all here to do heal something. It is a part of our soul’s journey and a true gift to enable us to evolve and understand the game we call life. It can be seen as a challenge or a beautiful opportunity for transformation. The only thing that shifts our experience is our perspective. Some of the most challenging life circumstances give us the greatest gifts. 

We can all change. We can all grow. We can all thrive – even after illness, heartbreak, grief, or trauma. Not because life suddenly becomes easier, but because we become different. We learn how to meet life from another level of awareness. We learn how to soften. How to listen. How to open. We learn that being the victim is a choice – just as choosing freedom, wellness, joy, and truth is also a choice.

And yes, sometimes choosing healing means walking through the discomfort before we reach the breakthrough. No one who has created anything meaningful has done so without meeting resistance. But when our intention is clear and our will matches our effort, something powerful begins to shift. Life meets us. Opportunities arise. Guidance appears. Energy moves. Change begins.

This retreat reminded me that hope is never lost, it is often just buried beneath the noise. And when we become quiet enough to listen, we realise that the answers were never outside of us. They were always within.

We are more powerful than we realise.
We are more connected than we’ve been taught.
And we are far more unlimited than we have ever been led to believe.

I don’t have all the answers — and I don’t need to.
But I know this: the moment we choose to believe it is possible…
that’s the moment something inside us begins to change.

And perhaps — that is where healing truly begins.
