The Journey teaches us how to interact with life - wholesomely, healthily. It helps us
uncover and dissolve the layers of stories, beliefs, protective "walls" and
sabatogizing behaviors that not only prevent us from living life as a full expression of
our true selves, but also keep our bodies from healing and remaining vibrantly well.
The Journey, outlined in the bestselling book 'The Journey', written by Brandon Bays,
is now recognized internationally as one of the most powerful healing processes
available... igniting the body's own healing wisdom and opening us into the deepest
level of the soul.
Diagnosed with a tumor the size of a basketball, Brandon Bays was catapulted on a
remarkable, soul-searching and ultimately freeing healing journey during which she
uncovered a means to get direct access to the soul, to the boundless healing
potential inside all of us. Only six-and-one-half weeks later she was pronounced
tumor free, text-book perfect – no drugs – no surgery!!
The results are profound and lasting.

Around the world, tens of thousands of people have resolved and freed themselves
of issues relating to grief, rage, fear, guilt, addictions, depression, eating disorders,
abuse, depression, low self-esteem, anxiety & panic attacks, self-sabotaging
behaviors, sexual dysfunction, chronic pain, stress, and physical illness.
Our Issues are Like Weeds
Healing your body, discovering and realizing your true self, and releasing limiting
emotional or behavioral patterns is much like being your own personal gardener.
Our life "issues" are much like weeds in a garden and we all know that if you only
pull a weed at the surface - leaving the root in the ground - it will reappear quite
quickly strangling plants and impacting the beauty of the garden.
Our personal weeds - our surface issues - can keep us from living beautiful, vibrant,
healthy lives. We can try all kinds of things, from willpower to therapy, to change the
surface issue, but without removing the deeper root, our surface issues just
reappear.
The Journey goes below the surface letting you clear out issues completely and fully
- root and all. When the weed and its root are removed, the body - and being - is
able to go about the healing process quite naturally on it's own - at a cellular level. At
a soul level, healing allows old disempowering or sabatogizing behaviors to fall
away and be replaced by healthy, true, honest behaviors guided by our own soul, our
highest self.
Why does it work?
First, our emotions open the gateway to the soul - and then... feeling our emotions
and releasing stored emotions enables the body to go about its own natural healing
process.
Emotions are the Gateway
Many of us just aren't quite sure what to do with our emotions - especially when they
are strong or intense. We think to ourselves... "I shouldn't feel this way", "This is
wrong.", "I'm a kind person, I can't get mad.", "Crying is for sissy's.", "Grow up, get
control of yourself.", "I'm strong."
So since we "aren't allowed" to feel our emotions we do all kinds of things to cover
them up - we drink, we eat, we work too much, we sleep, we take drugs and
medicines, we take life too seriously. As we bury our true feelings, stuffing them
down into our bodies, we lose connection with our true self - our inner radiance.
So as we go through life putting a lid on our emotions, keeping them in check,
pulling ourselves together, and trying to control life we wreck havoc on our physical
body, sabotage our dreams, and cover over our true beautiful nature.
The real truth is...emotions - the "good" and the "bad" - are the gateway to the soul...
the gateway to that inner genius, that pool of unconditional love, that inner strength
and confidence, that fountain of joy and that infinite intelligence of the body that
makes our cells replicate and our wounds and diseases heal. A great master once
said, "in the core of our worst emotion is the truth of who we are."
Have you ever watched a child get upset? Children feel their anger, for example,
then they might cry a few tears, and typically within a few short minutes, they find
themselves back in the bliss of being a child. They are our teachers.
Think of a time when you've allowed yourself to really feel a painful emotion and then
remember the freedom you felt afterwards - the lightness. The Emotional Journey
guides you gracefully through that exact experience. That space of freedom - of
peace, of lightness, of joy - has many names around the world. In the Journey, we
refer to it as Source; athletes often call it 'The Zone’; scientists refer to it as ‘Quantum
Soup’ or a ‘place of no mind’. Others call it the true self, the higher self, soul, or
Truth. Still others refer to it as ‘The Infinite Intelligence’ or an experience of ‘God’.
The Science of It
It is well known science that our body's cells regenerate constantly. Eye cells
regenerate every two days, liver cells every 6-7 weeks. Knowing this, one might ask,
'if someone has liver cancer in January, why do they still have it 6 months down the
line in June, when the organ is, in fact, brand new several times over?" Deepak
Chopra M.D., author of Quantum Healing, teaches us that what is actually happening
is that the ‘cell memory’ is being carried into each new generation of cells, carrying
the degenerative cancer cells into the new cell through the cell's memory.
Another scientist, Dr. Candace Pert, author of the best selling book ‘Molecules of
Emotion’ is a well-known cellular biologist working in Washington D.C. She has, on
a number of occasions, spoken to the US Congress about her findings on the effect
that repressed emotions have on our cells. She's also interviewed through out the
acclaimed movie "What the Bleep Do We Know?!" on that topic. Dr. Pert has
unequivocally discovered that whenever we have an intense, powerful emotion that
we repress or shut down, specific chemical changes take place in our bodies.
These changes can effect certain cell receptors, blocking those cells from
communicating with the other cells in our bodies. If these affected cell receptors
remain blocked over a long period of time then there is an increased likelihood that if
disease occurs, it will occur in the part of the body where the cell receptors are
blocked. When we feel and express our emotions healthily, fully and wholesomely,
our cell receptors remain open.
Allowing feelings to flow releases cellular memory and unblocks cell receptors
Greg Braden, author of 'The Isaiah Effect : Decoding the Lost Science of Prayer and
Prophecy' and Bruce Lipton, author of 'Biology of Beliefs' both also discuss in great
depth the connection between emotions and beliefs and the physical well-being of
our bodies.

I invite you to discover the radiant essence of your own being and the
incredible - even miraculous - healing potential of your own body.
The Journey, a simple, beautiful, profound process, much like a
guided visualization, will guide you on this discovery. As a matter of
fact, someone recently called The Journey, "the how-to of self-
realization."
You'll discover, much to the amazement of many, that most of the
issues and blocks that show up in our day-to-day lives are actually a
result of, and driven by, much deeper issues...deeper core issues
often put in place - stored in our bodies - many many years earlier.
Human lives and human bodies aren't delivered with instruction
manuals. So we, first as children and now as adults, simply do the
best we can to deal with life and it's myriad of experiences, lessons
and challenges.
So what happens when we get challenged, when we get upset -
angry, sad, frustrated, afraid? Well, it often depends on how we were
raised and what we've experienced in our past. Many of us were
taught it was wrong to be upset at all. We may have been taught to
control our emotions and even that it was wrong to feel. So out of
necessity, we put all kinds of strategies and behaviors in place to
"handle" life and we learned to stuff our feelings down.
