intuitive to answer a question from a reader. If you'd like to submit a question for Jaelin please
email her directly.
Free Advice from Intuitive Life Coach, Jaelin K. Reece
Dear Jaelin,
I just had a miscarriage (first pregnancy, first miscarriage). What can I do to let go of this emotionally and move on to try to get pregnant again (in 2-3 months as my doctor advised)?
Lola
Dear Lola,
In all the years I have been working with clients (over 22years), I have had the priviledge to work with many pregnant women, some of whom experienced miscarriages. The common denominator in all those women was that the soul energy of the baby remained with the mother when the circumstances or timing had not been right for the birth at that time.
Therefore, it is the same soul that comes through in the next pregnancy when the timing is better for whatever reason. I have seen this too many times not to trust in it. With my intuitive abilities, I have always been able to 'read' the baby before birth. The soul energy of an incoming baby is extremely strong around the mother for quite some time before birth. Just trust that you will get pregnant again when the timing is right for all involved.
Many Blessings,
Jaelin
Whole Life Coach

New AP article written by Marilynn Marchione making the rounds in news outlets yesterday and today is about the placebo effect being the logic behind why unproven alternative medicines work. Her assertion is that certain healing modalities are effective because we want to believe that they work, and nothing more. OKAY, Maybe SO in some incidences, but not so fast. BUT, why do we care? If a therapy results in wellness does it really matter if it is actually the cure or simply the vehicle that got you to the cure through believing?
Placebos are "fake medicines" that actually work because our minds believe that they are real. Tricky, huh? The power of the mind can be a miraculous healing machine.
Nobody wants to hear that a natural treatment they have been using as an effective pain reliever is actually "fake" and that they were gullible to have believed that it was making them better.
If someone were to tell me "It is your mind that is making you feel better stupid, not that wacky treatment!" my response to that person would be something like "Okay, whatever. But since I feel better, I don't see the harm." Obviously, that person is not happy I'm feeling better, OR, he has a rigid personality who has a strong need for proof. For me personally, I just want to feel better. I'm not struggling with a need to know everything. Although, I would likely be willing to stop using a treatment that is making me feel better if it were proven to me that it was my mind alone making me feel better and not the treatment. I would bless the "therapy-crutch" that lead me to the understanding that my mind was the actual healer and let it go.
If it were true that my healing was the result of believing wouldn't that make my "mental thinking" the placebo then? I mean, could it be scientifically proven that the mind can heal the body's ailments? Hey, we may be delving into the realm of miracles here. And, we know that science eyes miracles as occurences that require dissecting.
I probably love placebos more than any other kind of medicine. Why??? Because, if something truly is a placebo then the mind has proven itself to be powerful. Empowerment - now that is something to feel good about!
