Have you ever engaged in self-talk such as: “This is just the way I am, and I can’t change.” “Why do I keep falling for narcissistic and toxic men?” “I know I shouldn’t be so hard on myself, but I can’t help it.” Or have you noticed harmful patterns in how you spend money, how you look at food, or how you manage relationships, etc.? Let’s go a bit deeper…. Your thoughts and actions are only 5% conscious, while 95% of the subconscious programs are making decisions for you, and they may not always be the best. This is why Essential #4, Heal Your Emotional Wounds, is one of the 7 Essentials® and a vital component of any healthy breast journey.

Today’s blog is about releasing negative emotional perceptions with EVOX. However, before we begin, I want to share some background that will give you a better insight into why this is such an important step in your healing journey.

E-Motions

In tangible terms, have you ever felt stressed about something and noticed that your neck muscles and jaw felt tight? It could also result in feeling a pit in your stomach or an ache in your solar plexus. That is an example of your “e-motions” or “energy in motion” getting stuck. When energy is stuck, your whole body, including your immune system, can also be affected, leading to many physical health challenges—such as breast cancer.

Psychoneuroimmunology

Psychoneuroimmunology studies the interaction between psychological processes and the nerve and immune systems of the human body. All systems of your body, from organs to cells, are intricately connected. Therefore, your psychological state directly impacts the nervous and immune systems, which are supposed to protect you from physical illness. Emotional health is just as important as physical health because it equally impacts your healing.

In regards to breast cancer, a recent study titled: Psychoneuroimmunology and Cancer: A Decade of Discovery, paradigm shifts, and methodological innovations—found evidence to suggest:

• Unhealed stressful experiences (in both childhood and adulthood) and depression may lead to lower survival rates.
• Women with breast cancer who reported feeling stressed and lonely also had abnormalities in their immune systems. 
• There is a connection among women with breast cancer between depression, the quality of social support, and their immune cell activity.

Healing emotional wounds and shifting your subconscious can be compared to peeling back the layers of an onion.  Eventually, you can get to the core issues and release them once and for all. However, this takes time, intention, and doing the real work.

Besides EVOX, a few other tools you can try include:

• Recall Healing
• Healing Your Inner Child
• New German Medicine
• Emotional Freedom Technique: Tapping
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy: EMDR

What Are EVOX and Biofeedback?

EVOX

EVOX is a deeper level of standard biofeedback. You can experience breakthroughs in one EVOX session, whereas it can take up to 5 sessions using other biofeedback tools. It works at the level of thought and changing perceptions.

Our perceptions shape the way we view life and the events that happen within it, and this, in turn, determines our reality. 

Perceptions

Your individual perceptions are important because they help you understand and interact with your world. Your unique perceptions about life occur from the womb to age five. Things you heard or were told by your parents and surrounding community laid the subconscious patterns. Every one of our perceptions is “charged” with emotions, both healthy and unhealthy.  When our subconscious perceptions are infused with potentially harmful and unresolved emotions such as fear, anger, grief, and insecurity that repeat throughout our lives, they can keep us from living our lives to our full potential. And since our thoughts affect our body’s ability to heal, unresolved subconscious patterns could hinder our healing.

However, when your perceptions about life get formed, the results are the same: “thought patterns” are created, which shape your present reality. In scientific terms, these energy patterns are often called “brain wave” patterns or frequencies.

What EVOX Does

EVOX helps you uncover and heal subconscious layers of emotional wounds and negative patterns. When you speak into the microphone concerning a certain emotional struggle you are dealing with, it measures the stress response in your voice. Using an extremely sensitive instrument as well as a 10-second sampling of your own voice, the EVOX provides a “map” of these frequencies and determines whether they are “biologically coherent (i.e. healthy)” for you or not.

The system uses your voice to detect certain frequencies associated with stress in a process called “perceptual re-framing.” Your voice has unique stress frequencies that can be measured and then balanced. As you speak, the technology generates and sends electrical impulses to a mouse apparatus you cradle in your hand. During the session, you will also listen to calming music with soothing and healing frequencies.

During my second healing journey, I found the EVOX sessions to be very powerful in uncovering layers of subconscious negative patterns—my “emotional onion.” Eventually (with EVOX and several other therapies), I got to the core issues and released them once and for all!

Biofeedback

Biofeedback is a type of training rather than a treatment to help you develop new skills to better cope or perform. It is a mind-body technique that teaches you to recognize the physical and psychological signs and effects of stress and anxiety. This is done through visual and auditory feedback that trains a natural response to recognizing increased heart rate, body temperature, and muscle tension. Being deeply connected to your body will help you—even subconsciously—make subtle changes that might include relaxing certain muscles or reducing feelings of pain. 

The presentation of this information—often in conjunction with changes in emotions, thinking, and behavior all supports desired physiological changes. Over time, these changes can endure naturally without the continued use of an instrument.

EVOX and biofeedback can help with the following conditions that may be exacerbated by stress, including these conditions that can raise your risk of breast cancer and recurrence:

• Anxiety
• Brain injuries
• Depression
• Digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• High and low blood pressure
• Mental health conditions
• Migraines
• Physical reactions to stress
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Relaxation and stress management
• Tension headaches
