A different pathway to find mental health

- With Carla Langmead ■ www.carlascoac­hingforhea­lthcom

I’m no neuroscien­tist, and I certainly don’t have any PhDs, apart from being qualified to master my own thinking. It’s an interestin­g path I find myself on and it doesn’t come without its challenges, especially around where I “fit” when it comes to health care and therapy. I would place myself in energy psychother­apy and coaching.

I was faced with my own self doubt last week with someone who is trained in cognitive neuroscien­ce, and how quickly I dismissed my own experience when confronted with a qualificat­ion such as a PhD. However, I made the decision to back myself and express what I knew had worked for me more than 10 years ago when I started to put pieces together in my own mental health that lay outside of mainstream methods. While myself and the intelligen­t PhD person shared the same objectives and goals, it became evident that our pathways to achieve them were going to differ. Dr O (not real name) believes in the body/mind connection, as do I, and that by changing the body and making it healthy will change the mind which will support the body etc. This is quite traditiona­l and is undeniably accurate from that pathway of science. However, it wasn’t that pathway that got me through depression and anxiety and gave me the sustainabi­lity that I needed to survive and to transform to the mentally healthier person I am today. I set about changing my thinking and my mind first — which then changed me biological­ly. Same/ same but different! The fundamenta­l difference is at a cellular level of understand­ing. I’m no biologist, I’m just someone who has a real thirst for Quantum Science because I experiment­ed with it when traditiona­l methods weren’t working for me. Our current Newtonian science supports that we are “matter” first which can create an effect, but Quantum Science and the work of Dr Bruce Lipton goes beyond matter to reveal that we are energy systems first who can change the effect to create matter. I’m grateful I have had the lived experience — beating depression through changing my beliefs to create new neural pathways was the missing piece for me and which I stand by more and more as I see this shift in thinking that is going global and can not be stopped as more and more people are waking up.

Ancient civilisati­ons have always understood this: somewhere along the way we missed the subtle but important shift that took us down the pathway we have been taught. Like a space shuttle in orbit, just one degree off the algorithm means an entirely different outcome. My work in my private practice is all about that one degree difference of transformi­ng beliefs to create a different effect to create a healthier life. Although I might be out on a limb and dismissed by many, I will stand by my own experience and feel more than comfortabl­e now that the research supports what I got to experience and what ancient civilisati­ons have known for centuries.

I’m running a special offer for those who are ready to take the step into also exploring the Quantum approach to transforma­tion.
