Hey, everybody. Siobhan Wilcox here, founder and creator of Autism Experts Alliance. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this video. This is day 19 of Parenting Autism real and Raw. You know, I really want to honour you for the magnificent work you are doing. This is not the easiest job on the planet. It can be very challenging at times, it can be very exhausting. It can also have great rewards, great inspirational moments. But it takes a very particular type of person to be able to do this work. And from what I've met, met so many amazing families and parents, you know, it's like they have the most open hearts I've ever met in my life. This uniform of just love and compassion and empathy and understanding. And, you know, I was talking to a parent last week and they were expressing how before they would have been the parent, the person in the line that would have been totting if the child was having a meltdown or an overwhelm. And now they're like, oh, let me help. You know, having a child on the spectrum changes your life, changes your perceptions, changes the rules that you work through the world with. And I think it does this in a positive way for us. It shifts things. Our internal compass shifts, our internal patterns can shift. I've also discovered that how sensitive our children are, ultra sensitive. I've spoken about this in other blogs about the sensitivity of my son and how he expresses things like, well, when I walk in a room, I feel everybody's fear or everybody's pain in that room. Mommy. And it's very challenging for me to be in big crowds because I feel everybody's stuck. And so I really took it on myself to try and spend as much time looking after myself as I can. I don't have a huge amount of time in my day to do that. I don't have, you know, masses of men's errors to go sit in, get pedicures and spa treatments all day long. So. So I need to fit it in where I can during my day. One of the tools I've discovered for myself that really helps me is that I've realized I'm really ultra sensitive myself. I'm very empathic and I pick up on other people's energies a lot myself. This has been a gift in my coaching business where I'm a spiritual life coach and I really help people work through their stuff and energetically feel more balanced, more centered and it helps me be much more intuitive when I'm with my clients. You know, I get a strong sense of what's going on for them, really clearly. I've worked a lot with metaphysics and holistic therapies for 20 years. So I have a lot of knowledge of energy and how energy works in the body and connecting. Connecting with higher consciousness or God energy. I studied Reiki, I was a massage therapist. I studied vibrational healing, color therapy. So lots of different modalities of healing and balancing, looking at ancient era, ancient methods of healing, indigenous tribe healings, how healing was done with plants and herbs. And so I've done a lot of work, a lot of study, a lot of exploration for myself. And honestly, it was all for myself. Yes, I brought it to my clients, but it was really to serve me. Every course I've ever done was all about healing me, bringing me into a deeper sense of peace, into a higher level of consciousness, into a higher developmental level of awareness. But one of the really tools I learned that was so simple on this journey was, you know, imagining myself as a sponge sometimes. And, you know, a sponge soaks lots of stuff in. So, you know, when we go into a room where there's been an argument or there's been a lot of pain or energy, that just doesn't feel like real peaceful like energy. It's not like you're walking into the Buddhist monastery. It's like you've walked into, like, more like a war field. We sense that in ourselves. Many of us, even unknowns to ourselves, take that energy on. Even if we don't want to take that energy on, we can walk away. Even if we're just walking through a scene, by the time we reach the other side of the scene, we can feel like what's going on. I can feel. So I've discovered this tip and technique through working with many different healers. And it's to imagine you have a big cosmic vacuum cleaner and you can literally vacuum out your whole body and just clear it all out. So I imagine, and I work a lot with the angelic realm, so I always imagine there's like an angel, Archangel Raphael, or one of the great archangels holding this hoover. And this is the technique that Doreen Virtue talks about in some of her books. And in that book she works in, I think it's the angel messenger book she has, or one of those books she works with. Archangel Raphael with this tip and technique, which I think he's a good archangel to work with. But you just imagine that he's holding this and he's literally hoovering all over your body, just sucking away all that pain, all that energy you may have taken on from other people during your day that you don't need to hold on to. It's not your stuff, other people's stuff. We become over invested in other people's stuff and it doesn't serve us. It creates drama, it creates tension, it creates anxiety, it creates over dependence. So just letting it go is a really wonderful way of doing that. So try that out and see what you think you can. Even sometimes if my digestive system might be feeling a little bit funky if I ate because I'm gluten free, all organic, but if I'm out and I eat something that, you know, it may not be gluten free or it may not be organic, I can feel that pretty quickly in my body. So I sometimes will even imagine a little hoover just hoovering all through my stomach area, through my digestive system. Part of this is your brain. Your brain has been shown to really react to what you are believing is happening. So if your body is believing that you are being relieved of pain in some way, then your body starts to send out messages that you're being relieved of pain in that way. It's amazing. You know, there's so many stories about people that fought the odds on cancer. Pain management learned to walk when they shouldn't have learned to walk, learn to, to gain the power of their sight back when they shouldn't have been able to. All these incredible stories. There was a beautiful story about a small boy who had leukemia and his father, he was so invested in his hair, this child, he didn't want to lose his hair. So his father told him that he had this very special cream he got specially made for him and that if you rub the cream on his head every night, that it was guaranteed that he wouldn't lose his hair. And he didn't lose one hair in his head. Unknown. He should have lost every hair in his head, but he didn't. Because the child 100% believed that this was true and it just did not happen for him. So there's our brain, this incredible amazing engine for our body is running a lot of things for us. We have patterns in there that don't serve us. We have energy programs in there that don't serve us. But when we start to channel that and consciously connect with things that do work for us, consciously get that brain activated in a new way. Imagine there's a hoover hoovering away the tension from your, from your throat area. If you're lining up to speak, imagine it's hoovering all that anxiety away from you. If you've just had an interaction that didn't feel good for you and it starts to really feel like you're shifting stuff. So there's a tool and technique. I hope it serves you. I'd love to know if how it worked for you, if you liked it, if you didn't like it, let me know. Tell me anything else you want to know about. I have so many, many years of wealth of experience, 20 years working with people, helping them stay balanced and nurture themselves. And you know, I really want to know what you need to know so I can help you if you need to know more tips on nutrition or sleep or yoga poses or, you know, pain in the body, digestive issues, whatever it is, if I don't know the answer for you, I will go find the answer for you.
