Pressured: John’s Journey to True Healing
For privacy reasons, client names have been changed. “John, what is that and what are you doing?” I couldn’t help asking my client what the funny box is that he clutched and fiddled with, since he walked in. At first, I was a bit curious, but when he kept checking the time rather nervously and looked at me as though asking permission for something, I asked what was going on. He told me that it is a blood pressure monitor, and he has to take his blood pressure every hour and WhatsApp a photo of the results to his doctor. He said he recently ended up in the ICU with 220/180. Obviously, my face was one big question mark, because what he was telling me and what I saw were in stark contrast. John was 40 years old, about 1,95m tall, lean, fit and strong. The absolute epitome of health! As it’s not my place to interfere, I simply acknowledged the facts and continued with the program. This situation simply didn’t make any sense to me and I secretly hoped that if he sorts some negative emotion or belief out, his blood pressure would normalize. Almost halfway through the course, I got the part where the limiting belief of “Not Being Good Enough” is forever changed into something wonderful. This simple, yet profound, technique is without a doubt one of my favourites! I am privileged to be witness to the lights going on in a person’s eyes, or tears of joy and relief streaming down someone’s cheeks as they instantly understand their flawed thinking and know their real worth. The beauty is that once this insight and remembrance is accessed, it can never be undone again. Or shall I say, in this lifetime. At almost the end of this specific process, John suddenly jumped up out of his chair and said in a loud, annoyed kind of tone “se gat, natuurlik is ek goed genoeg!” in Afrikaans. Roughly translated it means “goddamn, of course I’m good enough!” John abruptly left my office only to return the next morning for our final appointment. In walks John, radiant, confident, perfect posture….and no box! He sat down and told me what had happened to him and how it made him ill. John was married and walked in on his wife and best friend making love. He fainted from shock. This couple had to live under the same roof for approximately three months after the incident, before the lady could move out and their divorce be finalized. As one could imagine, this must have been a terribly difficult time for both of them. Being naturally extroverted, John told me exactly what had happened inside of him in that moment of discovery. He said he was angry, but underneath the anger was a heavy sense of being not worthy of Life. During the process the previous day, John realized that the actions of others have absolutely nothing to do with him. It wasn’t personal, and their selfish decision was symbolic of their own low awareness. He knew that he erroneously equated his worth as a human to an external event! John laughed at the whole debacle with his blood pressure too. As soon as he got home after leaving my office the day before, he took the hourly reading as always. He thought the monitor had broken, so he took it at least another three times, got the same reading and rushed to the pharmacy to have the nurse on duty check it too. It was 120/80, consistently. The same the next morning and the next and the next. Greeting John upon leaving the final session, I knew in my heart that his life had changed. He was once again the happy, healthy 40-year-old he used to be as a young man. Three months later I ran into John whilst doing some shopping. He shook his head and smiled wryly with a tad of disbelief when he said his blood pressure was still perfect. The same happened three years later. He said the doctor believes his instant cure was nothing but miraculous. However, I know it’s absolutely normal when you know your real worth.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version="4.23.2" _module_preset="default" column_structure="1_2,1_2"][et_pb_column _builder_version="4.23.2" _module_preset="default" type="1_2"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.23.2" _module_preset="default" hover_enabled="0" sticky_enabled="0" text_font_size="16px"]
