Is Your Subconscious Holding You Back from Overcoming Leaky Gut Syndrome?

I get plenty of emails from people all over the world asking for advice and help to overcome their struggle with Leaky Gut Syndrome. And after talking with them and hearing so many stories it has become quite evident to me that in many cases, people are just not ready to heal.

Of course, on the outside they express their eagerness to overcome their health problems but that is only coming from the outer conscious mind. But what they don’t know is that it’s the inner subconscious mind that plays a far bigger role in whether or not you are ready to heal.

And science is now studying the subconscious mind more and more and finding that the subconscious mind is far more active, purposeful, and independent than what they first thought.

The Importance of the Subconscious Mind

Think of it like this. Your subconscious mind is the unconscious part of your mind that runs in the background without you even knowing it. It contains all of your personal and social programming and is responsible for greatly influencing your decision making.

Of course, you might think that you’re decision making is based entirely on what’s logical but that’s just not the case.

Studies on the subconscious mind have shown that people become motivated to clean whenever there is the faintest small of cleaner in the air. Another study showed that people automatically become more competitive whenever there’s a briefcase in sight.

It’s triggers like these in our environment that cause our subconscious mind to react in certain ways without us even realizing it.

So it’s very important to understand your subconscious mind so that you can understand why you make some of the unhealthy decisions that you make and consequently reprogram it to make healthier ones.

The Subconscious Mind and Leaky Gut Syndrome

Could you be unconsciously holding on to your health problems because of some unknown and unconscious reason?

Maybe you’ve learned to play the role of the victim and use your chronic symptoms as a crutch in life. And if you removed that crutch then subconsciously you feel like you can’t live up to certain expectations. So you hold on to your chronic symptoms through self-sabotage in order to lower those expectations.

Or maybe you’ve been enduring your chronic symptoms for so long that you now identify yourself with them. And if you were to heal then you would have nothing left to identify with. So unconsciously, you do whatever it takes to maintain your identity because without it you’d be lost.

I’m sure some of this may seem farfetched but I assure you that it’s very real for many people but you’re just not aware of it on a conscious level.

But it’s not your fault and there is something that you can do about it if and when you are ready to.

Changing Your Subconscious Thought Patterns

The first step of changing your subconscious mind is to become aware of your actions.

When you become aware of your actions, you can begin to notice bad habits and repetitive patterns that you have developed which are holding you back from achieving your goals.

Maybe you jump from doctor to doctor or protocol to protocol without ever giving any single one a chance to really work because something more important always comes up.

Or maybe you’ve even gotten so far as to make some progress with your health but then find yourself going backwards and falling right back to where you started because you fell back into poor eating habits.

Once you begin to pick up on and notice these dis-empowering actions then you can begin to catch yourself before you do them. And then you can begin to reprogram your subconscious by choosing to replace it with a healthier empowering action that instead will help you get one step closer to overcoming Leaky Gut Syndrome and your chronic symptoms.

3 Simple Ways to Reprogram Your Mind for Healing Leaky Gut

It should come as no surprise that your mind has quite a bit of influence over your ability to heal yourself. It can either be your best friend and help with the healing processes or it can be your worst enemy and really make matters even worse.

The way that I look at it is that you can never focus too much on improving your subconscious to work for you rather than against you.

So I want to share with you a few different techniques that you can use in the comfort of your own home to help you gain even more control over your mind.

You can do one or all three but the main goal when working with my clients is to find one that works best for them so that will continue to use it. Otherwise you won’t do it and you won’t get the benefits.

Silent Meditation

Meditation is one of those practices that takes a little bit of dedication but once you get the hang of it, it can and will literally transform just about every area of your life.

Personally, I think too many people are too intimidated by the idea of meditation that they never actually give it a fair try. And it does take some patience and practice so expect it to be frustrating in the beginning. Everything takes practice to get good at and meditation is no different.

I don’t of anyone who picked up meditation overnight and loved it. But I do know plenty of people who have started and kept with it and are completely new people (for the better) because of it.

In fact, I remember the frustration when I first started myself but I stayed committed and it wasn’t long before I was feeling the positive effects and was quite a bit happier for it. And that improvement of my mood carried over into my work, my relationships, and my home life and life in generals got easier.

A simple way to get started is to just sit in a comfortable position. You don’t need any crazy seated posture for it to work. And while sitting, just watch your thoughts and instead of actively thinking, just observe and witness your thoughts.

You don’t need to judge your thoughts or try to force them to stop. Just sit there, detach yourself and watch. If you need a visual then you can picture your thoughts floating down a river. And instead of jumping in after them, just watch them float by.

Over time, you should notice that your river has less and less thoughts floating by and you begin to experience more of a sense of peace.

This is a great way to let go of stress and help facilitate the healing process.

Emotional Release

Unfortunately, most of us have been taught to deal with our emotional in an unhealthy way since a very young age. As kids, when your feelings got hurt you were most often told to “suck it up” and “stop crying”. But nobody stops to consider the impact that this has on a child.

All this does is to teach kids how to internalize their emotions instead of externalizing them which is much healthier. And this easily becomes a programmed behavior that sticks with you through life even as an adult.

But the biggest problem is that when you internalize your emotions instead of dealing with them in a healthy way, they tend to create a lot of emotional stress which will carry over into every aspect of your life and will hold you back from healing.

But by releasing these pent up emotions you can literally offload a lot of emotional stress which can really help free up your mind to work for you instead of against you.

The technique itself is very simple. Instead of internalizing your emotions, find a way to release them alone in a controlled environment such as a bedroom where you don’t have to worry about being judged.

If you find yourself becoming angry then lock yourself in your bedroom and yell or beat your pillow.

If you find yourself being overcome with sadness, then go to your bedroom and just cry. There’s really nothing wrong with crying. It’s just society that has placed such a false negative view on it.

But by releasing your emotions you will find that you will be able to let those emotions go and move on instead of being caught up in them while they ruin your day and cause unnecessary long term stress.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

There are also more subtle approaches to handling deep seated emotional issues and help reprogram your subconscious like through the use of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). EFT is a simple system that was developed by Gary Craig which uses the same principles of Acupuncture and acupressure to tap into the subconscious mind.

So instead of releasing your emotions outright, EFT uses tapping along certain meridians within the body while experiencing the problematic emotion in order help your mind disassociate that emotion and let it go.

I have used EFT myself and with many clients and the results are great, especially for those who stick with it since it can take some time and effort to be really effective.

But for many who need all the help they can get, it can really help give you the advantage over your mind when you need it most.
