Are you an empath or a highly sensitive woman struggling with persistent stress, anxiety, and trauma?
In this episode we speak with MarBeth Dunn, a leading expert in somatic healing and intuitive energy mastery, and the author of Awaken the Healer Within.
MarBeth, who healed her own severe asthma, shares her powerful journey of reconnecting with the body's wisdom to achieve health and emotional freedom.
We explore how physical symptoms serve a purpose (protecting us from emotional conflict) and the danger of "pushing through" them.
Key information
01:44 Marbeth's healing journey was initially prompted by her struggle with severe asthma, which led to constant panicky sensations and an underlying belief that she could find and resolve the root cause.
03:03 A pivotal early tool in her self-discovery was learning to use a pendulum to communicate with her subconscious mind, asking yes or no questions to uncover hidden emotions.
07:47 A core philosophy is that physical symptoms serve a purpose, often protecting us from unprocessed emotional trauma or conflict. Removing the symptom prematurely can unleash heavy, unaddressed emotions.
10:02 Safety first is the most crucial principle when addressing physical symptoms and trauma. One must listen to the body and ensure it feels safe before exploring deep issues to avoid resistance and worsening symptoms.
12:56 Marbeth demonstrated healing a potential flu (grief-related) by moving into the feeling, extending love to it and letting it dissipate. Emotional feelings need to be acknowledged to resolve.
14:19 Healing happens through love and acceptance, not fighting or striving against symptoms. This shifts the body into the parasympathetic state (rest and digest), promoting calm and healing.
25:13 Somatic healing involves using body-based exercises (like rubbing the body, shaking/bouncing, dancing, singing) to naturally release stress and trauma, often without needing to revisit the emotional story.
