Worthy - Visualisation Episode 46
There are 2 master commands that the brain is wired with, how good enough you feel you are, and how worthy you feel you are. These commands form the overall algorithm of your brain, creating the neurological wiring that governs your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Not feeling worthy enough…

Giving Up - Visualisation Episode 45
Your brain can go from “this is fine”, to “this is hard”, to “this is too much I want to quit” - really quickly. The key here is to understand that your brain is wired to avoid danger. It does this by constantly predicting negative futures based on the struggles of the present. When we’re just at...
-
Guilt - Visualisation Episode 44
Feeling guilt is a normal and healthy response. It’s designed as a moral compass to guide our social behaviours for the sanctity of our circles. However, continued experiences of guilt can often manifest as addictions that the brain then tries to reproduce in unhealthy doses. ❤️ _ I have a...
-
Wanting - Visualisation Episode 43
The brain is a remarkable device, it’s formed with layers upon layers of algorithms wired from our years of existence. Many of these algorithms help us, but many of them also hold us back, as much as 70%. The goal is to wire your brain with powerful commands that overwrite the existing wiring of...
-
Overwhelm - Visualisation Episode 42
It can feel like you’re keeping so many tabs open at the same time in your brain. It’s a result of the brain worrying about a countless number of issues that you’re facing at the same time. This leads to the feeling of overwhelm, which in turn can result in things like memory and focusing issues...
-
Heartbreak - Visualisation Episode 41
Dear beautiful heart, I want to tell you that sometimes our brain plays tricks on us. We hold onto so much pain from a heartbreak because our brain is trying to keep some type of attachment to that person - in the hope that we’ll find our way back. That’s of course not healthy. Reframing the pain...
-
Routine - Visualisation Episode 40
Have you struggled with forming good routines? Like a great morning routine, exercise or even reading before bed? It’s really easy to give up on routines, and think they just work for us. Instead it’s important to understand that our brain is wired with patterns, including a pattern of abandoning...
-
Sabotage - Visualisation Episode 39
Our brains aren’t built for success - they’re built to keep us alive. And that for our brain means keeping us within our safety zones - which are our known states. So on one hand you want to achieve so many things - but your brain is often trying to stop you - sabotage you - in an attempt to keep...
-
Being You - Visualisation Episode 38
Sometimes it just takes one significant person in your life to tell you a corrective command that your brain holds onto and forms a coping response in the form of a mask. A correct command starts with “you are…” ie you are too quiet, too shy; too loud etc - and this can go very deep within the...
-
Intuition - Visualisation Episode 37
There’s a voice that’s been deeply programmed into our central nervous system, we called it our intuition. It’s there to guide us and keep us safe. Overtime, because of all the noise around us, we either don’t listen to it, or we stop hearing it. It’s a trainable skill to be able to go deep…

People Pleasing - Visualisation Episode 36
What a beautiful human you are. You do so much for others, always putting yourself last, prioritising the happiness and peace of others. Being kind to others is such an honourable thing, you have such a big heart and you give so much. But what is the price you’re paying? People pleasing is a…

Decisions - Visualisation Episode 35
How long have you been stuck trying to make that decision? This weight becomes a cognitive block weighing you down and depleting you of energy. The brain is designed to avoid danger, so if you’ve framed this decision as something with risk, your brain will fight you. Instead wire your brain with...
-
Loneliness - Visualisation Episode 34
Please don’t let yourself go into your familiar shell, hiding away from the world. It’s a downhill spiral. The more you allow your brain to do that, the more it will do it, and make you believe it’s for the best. Instead, when you feel alone the most, that’s exactly when you need others. Find…
more -
Perfection - Visualisation Episode 33
Perfectionism will keep you stuck. The human brain can develop a coping strategy of continually having to achieve more than it’s actually capable of - in the pursuit of feeling good enough. This stems from our childhood where we had to be something that we’re not. And overtime our brain…
more -
Sleep - Visualisation Episode 32
There are a number of factors that can disturb our sleep. I find that usually the brain is in the beta waves state, concerned with either the day that has gone, or with the day that’s coming. To switch it off, we need it to exist the sympathetic nervous response. This is achieved by slowing down...
-
Reset - Visualisation Episode 31
The human breath has the power to go deeper than the mind can go. It has the power to clear thoughts, to slow down our neurological activity, to release stress and negative emotions as well as reset our autonomic nervous system. Repeat this as many times as you need to achieve the desired…
more -
Ageing - Visualisation Episode 30
The human brain is built for survival - therefore the brain will develop a fear of ageing because it associates ageing with the end of life. When this happens the brain sees signs of ageing around it and incorrectly concludes that it is experiencing these changes and the body responds to this by...
-
Walk Away - Visualisation Episode 29
Depending on amount early years wiring pattern - we can often end up being conditioned as the good boy or good girl. This serves us and others well - but it also comes at a price, a shadow - and that is for the brain to feel safe doing the good thing, and not always the right thing. Sometimes...
-
Speak up - Visualisation Episode 28
Growing up, if our brain doesn’t feel safe to be seen or heard, it can wire itself to be quieter than it would want to. As an adult this turns into a habit of constantly remaining in a state of invisibility. It’s time to speak up. ❤️ _ I have a background in neuroscience and biochemistry from…
more -
Parents - Visualisation Episode 27
A huge part of our neuro-conditioning is affected by our upbringing, and how we perceive our parents and primary caregivers. Holding onto resentment towards one or both parents can affect our relationships with people closest to us and ourselves. ❤️ _ I have a background in neuroscience and...
-
Health - Visualisation Episode 26
The brain is more powerful than we realise. So think about what your brain is creating for you. Most, if not all illnesses and ailments - stem from what’s happening in our brain - which after while can reproduce physically abnormalities within our bodies. And if our thoughts can make us ill, then...
-
Anger - Visualisation Episode 25
Anger is part of our immune system, it’s there to defend ourselves. And when it’s left to sit inside, it can affect us cognitively, and then physically, sapping us of our energy to keep that rage trapped within. Visualising the release of this anger in a safe and controlled way is a powerful…
more -
Inner critic - Visualisation Episode 24
Our inner voice is based upon the way we spoke and more importantly how we were spoken to up until the age of around 11 years old. This inner chatter of the brain can then over time become stringent, resentful and harsh - constantly monitoring and commenting on our thoughts, feelings, behaviours...
-
Imposter - Visualisation Episode 23
Due to perfectionism, fears of failure or judgement or expectations- our brain can trap itself in a loop of not feeling good enough or deserving enough to be where it is or where its aiming to get to. This neurological cage can then hold you back from moving forward freely, or at least enjoying...
-
Boundaries - Visualisation Episode 22
As humans, our boundaries directly linked to our immune system, and holding our boundaries solidly has a huge positive impact on our mental and physical health. ❤️ _ I have a background in neuroscience and biochemistry from Queen Mary University, London. I have spent over 20 years specialising in...

Future-self - Visualisation Episode 21

You've Got This - Visualisation Episode 18
Visualisation Episode 18 - You’ve got this Sometimes it can feel like there’s too much on our plate, and that we don’t know how we’ll manage. The brain can go into a downhill vicious spiral - and as a result we feel more and more helpless. The goal is to train to brain to understand that it’s...

Searching for Purpose - Visualisation Episode 17

Overcoming Procrastination - Visualisation Episode 16

Sometimes life can be hard. And if we become independent very early on in life - our brain can struggle to ask for help when we need it the most. It’s time for a new path. A path where you no longer carry all the weight on your shoulders. ❤️ _ I have a background in neuroscience and biochemistry...
-
Forgive Yourself - Visualisation Episode 13
Our brain often holds on to events that we perceive to be negative in a self-blaming and regretful way. It creates a firm cage around this in a bid that this constant emotional pain will prevent us from repeating this in the future and also to punish ourselves. This isn’t living. This isn’t life....
-
You Are A Diamond - Visualisation Episode 12
Sometimes challenges can seem like they are breaking us. And the more we go through, the more bruised and damaged we can feel. I want your brain to reframe this and understand challenges as a moulding process. And to focus on the fact that just like a diamond - the more it endures - the more...
-
There’s Nothing Wrong With You - Visualisation Episode 11
I want you to know that if your brain compares itself to others - and feels different, like there’s something wrong - that’s normal - your brain is designed to do that. But now as an adult it just comes in the way. So let’s rewrite this script. There’s nothing wrong with you. _ For any special...
-
Missing someone that’s passed - Visualisation Episode 10

Don’t Hide Your Achievements - Visualisation Episode 08
In the intricate dance of social interactions, many of us inadvertently shrink ourselves, masking our triumphs in a shroud of modesty. This isn’t merely a social faux pas; it’s a neurological conditioning that etches a deep-seated belief in our psyche: that celebrating our successes is somehow...
-
Honesty Is The Only Way - Visualisation Episode 07
The inclination to avoid speaking one’s truth can be traced back to the brain’s fundamental survival mechanisms, where the fear of negative social repercussions, such as judgment or abandonment, activates a protective response. This behavioral pattern is rooted in the brain’s evolutionary…

It’s Time To Get Up - Visualisation Episode 06
