The Part of Us That Is Still Alive

She walked into the room as if she did not want to take up too much space.
There was something almost extinguished about her.

When I invited her to tell me why she had come, she spoke about her depression.
About a difficult situation with someone who had been deeply harmful to her.
About abuse. About grief. There was a lot.

And yet, as I listened to her, I could feel there was more than the words she was giving me.

I didn’t need to push.

Over the years, I have learned to respect the rhythm of the person in front of me. What needs to emerge will emerge when they are ready to see it, feel it or hear it.

So we began with something very simple.
And almost immediately, something changed.
Her face changed colour. There was suddenly more life in it.

“I feel better,” she said.

It was only the beginning of the session.

Later came a moment of spiritual healing.

And during that part of the work, the Virgin Mary appeared.

I don’t decide who or what appears during this kind of work. I simply stay present and allow the process to unfold.
There was something incredibly gentle about her presence.
A sense of being held, of being loved without having to deserve it.
Of being seen beyond the pain, beyond the story, beyond everything this woman had been carrying.

And then an image came to me : A tree.

A tree that had been through storms.

Its branches had been shaken. Some parts had been damaged. Perhaps some had even died.
But underneath, the roots were still there.
And somewhere inside, life was still there too.

This is something I have witnessed many times in my work.
We can go through experiences that leave us believing that something essential in us has disappeared.
We can become tired, withdrawn, disconnected from ourselves.
We can learn to make ourselves smaller.

Sometimes so gradually that we don’t even realise how much of ourselves we have stopped inhabiting.

But healing is not always about becoming someone new.
Sometimes it is about reconnecting with what was never completely lost.

The part of us that is still alive underneath. The part that can receive love again.

This part that can begin to trust Life again.

At the end of the session, the woman who left the room did not look like the woman who had entered it.

Of course, one session does not erase everything a person has lived through.
And yet, something had shifted, making space for something new.
Sometimes, this is where healing begins.

Not with a dramatic transformation, but with a little more colour in the face.
A little more presence in the body, a little more space inside.
A small movement towards life.

Like a tree after a long winter, when the first signs of spring are still almost invisible.
The life was there all along.
It was simply waiting for enough safety, enough space, enough love…

to begin flowing again.

Do you feel like your life has lost the mining?

You are tired, withdrawn, disconnected from yourself”

Being responsible for everyone

• The Child Who Carried Everyone

Posted on by Muriel

Being responsible for everyone

Being responsible for everyone…

The Child Who Carried Everyone

He arrived saying something many people have told me over the years.

“I’ve already done so much work on myself. I understand my patterns. Yet I still don’t feel good enough. I still feel responsible for everyone. My body is always tense. My jaw is constantly tight. It’s as if my whole nervous system never really relaxes.”

He had spent years trying to understand himself.
And yet, something much deeper was still holding him.

During our work together, one sentence emerged:
“I let go of the past. I let go of the past I cannot change. And I move forward.”

As often happens, we first worked through kinesiology and energy balancing, releasing layers of emotional patterns stored in the body.

Then we began an inner journey.
What unfolded surprised both of us.

He found himself meeting his father, who had died when he was still a very young child.
As the eldest of the family, he had unconsciously taken on a role that no child should ever have to carry.

Without realising it, he had spent his childhood carrying his mother’s grief, protecting his younger siblings and trying, in every possible way, to hold the family together.

During this inner experience, words emerged that brought a profound sense of peace :
His father freed him from the impossible responsibility of trying to save him.
His mother, who was also present in the journey, released him from the unconscious role of carrying her pain.

Something deep inside him finally let go.

At the end of the session, his face looked completely different.

He simply said,
“It feels as though an enormous weight has disappeared.”

Then something else became clear.
He realised that this same pattern had quietly shaped his entire adult life.
He had naturally chosen a profession centred on caring for others.

In his relationships, he often found himself trying to rescue people instead of simply loving them.
He had spent his life carrying burdens that had never truly belonged to him.

A little later, we completed the work with EFT.
One sentence became particularly important:
“Even though I couldn’t save my father… I forgive myself completely.”

When he came back for his next session, he told me it had been like night and day. Everything had begun to change.

He felt lighter. Freer.
His relationships were already becoming different.

Sometimes we can spend years understanding our story.
But understanding is not always enough.

Some patterns were created before we had the words to explain them.
They were written into the body, into the nervous system, into the unconscious loyalty of a child who believed he had to keep everyone safe.

When that old loyalty is finally released…
Life can begin to flow again, bringing its fresh and living energy back into the present.

What if you carry the role of others?

Perhaps some of the life’s tasks you carry are not yours.
And perhaps your own role has been replaced by the other person role?

fighting the past

• The Day She Stopped Fighting What Was

fighting the past

The Day She Stopped Fighting What Was

A client once told me:

“If I accept this, it means I’ve given up.”

It is something I hear surprisingly often. Many of us confuse acceptance with resignation.

Yet they are not the same.

We keep fighting…

For years, we may fight against reality.
We fight the loss of someone we love.
We fight a diagnosis.
We fight the end of a relationship.
We fight who another person is.

Often we even fight our own emotions, wishing they would disappear because they are too painful, too inconvenient, or simply too overwhelming.

This struggle is deeply human.

At certain moments in life, it may even be necessary. It can be part of the process of adapting to a profound change.

But there often comes a point when all the energy invested in resisting what already exists leaves very little energy for living.
Again and again, I witness something similar during my sessions.

Real change rarely begins when people push harder against reality.
It often begins when they soften their resistance.

Not because the situation suddenly becomes fair.
Not because the pain magically disappears.

But because they stop spending every ounce of their energy arguing with what already is.

That shift creates space.
And within that space, something unexpected can emerge.

A sense of peace.
Greater clarity.
The ability to make new choices.
Fresh energy.
Movement.

Acceptance does not mean saying:

“This is what I wanted.”

It does not mean approving of what happened.
It does not mean pretending that something painful is acceptable.

Acceptance simply says:

“This is what it is.”

Only when we acknowledge reality can we begin to respond to it consciously.
Otherwise, much of our energy remains trapped in wishing reality were different.

In my work, I often see that when people stop fighting reality itself, they regain access to their inner resources.

Their body relaxes.
Their nervous system settles.
Their intuition becomes easier to hear.

And from there, change becomes possible—not because life has become easier, but because their energy is no longer consumed by resistance.

Sometimes the greatest act of courage is not to fight harder.

Sometimes it is to gently stop fighting what cannot be changed, so that we finally have the strength to transform what can.

Are you tired of fighting daily life?

Discover the power of acceptance to move on…

I would be honoured to accompany you on your journey to live your life without a need of fighting but giving yourself space and time to enjoy your days.

Burden of the ancestors - When we carry a burden that is not ours

• When We Carry a Burden That Is No Longer Ours

Posted on by Muriel

Burden of the ancestors - When we carry a burden that is not ours

When We Carry a Burden That Is No Longer Ours

There are moments in life that quietly divide our story into a before and an after.

A separation.
Burnout.
The loss of someone we love.
A move.
Or simply the day we realise:

“I can’t keep living this way anymore.”

These moments often become an invitation to look deeper.

Because while the event itself may seem to be the problem, it often reveals a pattern that has been repeating for years.

One of my clients came to see me because he felt constantly overwhelmed.

He was deeply committed to the people around him. His work consisted of supporting others every day, and he did it with generosity and dedication.

But there was always another person to help.
Another problem to solve.
Another responsibility to carry.

Little by little, he realised he had almost disappeared from his own life.

As we worked together over several sessions, another layer gradually emerged.

His great-great-grandfather had lived through the Great Famine in Ireland.

With eight children to feed, survival depended on carrying an impossible weight every single day. Protecting his family was not a choice; it was the only way to keep them alive.

Generations later, my client was still living with that same unconscious sense of responsibility.

Not because anyone had asked him to.

Not because he consciously remembered this family story.

But because, in some way, his whole system had learned that love meant carrying others.

This is something I occasionally observe in my practice.

Sometimes we remain loyal to people who came before us without even knowing it.

A family history of survival may become an unconscious obligation to rescue everyone.
A history of loss may become a fear of letting go.
A history of silence may become difficulty expressing our needs.

These loyalties are rarely visible.

Yet they can quietly shape the choices we make, the relationships we build, and the roles we take on throughout our lives.
As this old burden began to release, another question naturally appeared:

“What do I truly want for myself?”

His answer came without hesitation.

More time.
More inner space.
And the freedom to reconnect with the artistic part of himself that had been waiting quietly for years.

About a year later, he came back to see me.

This time, he wasn’t seeking help because he was exhausted.
He wanted support to prepare his first exhibition of paintings and to feel confident sharing his work with others.

The man who had spent so much of his life carrying everyone else was finally making room for himself.

I often find that healing does not erase our family history.
It allows us to honour it without continuing to live it.

Sometimes the greatest gift we can offer those who came before us is not to repeat their burden, but to allow their story to end with them.

What if you carry the burden of the ancestors?

Perhaps some of the weight you carry was never meant to be yours.
And perhaps your own life has been patiently waiting underneath it.

deeper wound to heal

• When the Person in Front of You Is Not the Real Wound

Posted on by Muriel

deeper wound to heal

When the Person in Front of You Is Not the Real Wound

The first time she walked through my door, I noticed a beautiful young woman with an elegant presence. She looked confident, grounded… almost impossible to imagine that she was struggling with self-confidence.

Yet the very first words she spoke were:

“I have no confidence in myself.”

Then she told me about her work.

Her manager seemed to be constantly watching her, criticising her and questioning everything she did. Every day felt like walking on eggshells. She came home exhausted, but leaving her job wasn’t an option. She needed it.

As we worked together over the next few sessions, it slowly became clear that her manager wasn’t the beginning of the story.

The deeper wound belonged to another relationship.

Her mother.

Little by little, we explored the emotional memories she was still carrying. She began to understand where her mother’s behaviour had come from and how those experiences had shaped her own way of relating to authority, criticism and rejection.

Understanding did not erase the past.
It gave her freedom from it.

Something gentle began to shift inside her.

She no longer felt the need to defend herself all the time. She found herself speaking more naturally, setting healthier boundaries and feeling calmer in situations that had once overwhelmed her.

Then life started opening other doors.

She made new friends. She met someone. Joy quietly returned to places where loneliness had settled for years.

One day she came back with a smile.

“I think I don’t need any more sessions.”

Her manager had just been transferred.

Was it a coincidence?

Perhaps.

Or perhaps, once the deeper wound had begun to heal, this relationship had completed its purpose.

After more than twenty-five years of practice, I have witnessed this kind of transformation many times.

We often believe that another person is the source of our suffering. Sometimes they are.

But sometimes they simply awaken a much older pain that has been waiting, patiently, to be seen.

When that hidden wound begins to heal, the world around us often changes in unexpected ways.

Not because the whole world has changed…

…but because we are no longer meeting it from the same place.

And sometimes, that changes everything.

Sometimes the real wounds are not what we think.

Intuitive kinesiology can reveal real source of suffering.

Simple & Powerful Path to Healing - intuitive kinesiology West Cork of Ireland

• When Simplicity Becomes the Most Powerful Path to Healing

Simple & Powerful Path to Healing

When Simplicity Becomes the Most Powerful Path to Healing

There was a time when I believed that the more techniques I used, the more effective a session would be.
Over the years, my clients have taught me something very different.

Sometimes, the deepest healing begins with something surprisingly simple.

Recently, someone came to see me carrying years of emotional tension. Like many people, they had tried many different approaches. They had read, reflected, and worked hard on themselves. Yet something still felt stuck.
As I listened to their body through kinesiology, it became clear that it wasn’t asking for another complex process.
It was asking for one simple intervention.

Nothing spectacular.
Nothing complicated.
Just the right support, at the right moment.

The shift was immediate.
Not because I had “done more”, but because the body finally received exactly what it was ready for.

This is something I have witnessed again and again over the past 25 years.
Our minds often believe that healing has to be difficult to be valuable.
We think that if we struggle enough, analyse enough or spend enough time searching, we will eventually find the answer.

But the body doesn’t work that way.
The body is constantly seeking balance.

When we listen deeply enough, it often shows us the simplest path towards that balance.
Simple does not mean superficial.
Simple does not mean easy.
Simple means appropriate.

It means offering exactly what the nervous system can integrate at that moment, without forcing, overwhelming or rushing the process.

This is why no two sessions are ever the same.
Each person arrives with a unique story.
Each body communicates differently.
And each healing journey unfolds at its own pace.

My role in healing process

My role is not to apply the same protocol to everyone.

  • It is to listen.
  • To observe.
  • To follow what your body is ready to release.

Sometimes that involves emotional work.
Sometimes ancestral patterns.
Sometimes beliefs that no longer serve you.
And sometimes…

The most profound transformation begins with one small step.
One conversation.
One insight.
One gentle correction that allows everything else to reorganise naturally.

After more than twenty-five years of practice, I have learned to trust this simplicity.
Because again and again, it is where I have witnessed the most lasting change.

If you feel that you’ve been trying hard but nothing truly shifts, perhaps your body isn’t asking for more effort.
Perhaps it is asking for the right support.

DO YOU ASK YOURSELF…

  • Why do I still feel stuck after trying many healing methods?
  • How do I know if my body needs rest instead of more effort?
  • What is kinesiology and how can it help me?

Changes After an Energy Healing

• Healing Session Doesn’t Always End When You Leave

Posted on by Muriel

Changes After an Energy Healing

Changes After an Energy Healing

Why Your Healing Session Doesn’t Always End When You Leave

Many people expect healing to happen only during the session itself.
But in my experience, something much deeper often begins once the session has finished.

Whether we work in person or online, I regularly see the same phenomenon: the body continues integrating the work long after the appointment has ended.

Sometimes for a few hours.
Sometimes for several days.
Occasionally, for several weeks.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that “more is happening.” It simply means your system is continuing to process what it has become ready to release.

Every body has its own rhythm :

One of the things I have learned over more than twenty-five years of practice is that healing cannot be forced.
Your body knows the pace that is right for you.

During a session, we don’t try to make change happen.

We simply listen carefully to what your body is ready to address today.
Sometimes that allows us to work deeply for more than an hour.

Other times, after only thirty minutes, muscle testing indicates that the work is complete for that day.

Years ago, I might have continued…
Today, I trust what the body tells us.

Often, those shorter sessions turn out to be the most powerful.

What you may experience afterwards.

Each person is unique, but clients sometimes notice:

  • a deep sense of calm
  • unusual tiredness
  • better sleep
  • vivid dreams
  • emotional release
  • old memories resurfacing
  • greater clarity
  • physical sensations shifting
  • feeling lighter or more grounded…

These experiences are not goals in themselves.
Some people notice many changes.
Others notice almost nothing at first.
Neither response is better than the other.

Healing doesn’t always feel dramatic.
Sometimes the deepest transformations happen quietly.

Why integration matters :

Imagine planting a seed.
You wouldn’t dig it up every day to check whether it is growing.

Healing works in much the same way.

A session opens a process.

Then your nervous system, your body and your emotional world need time to reorganise around this new balance.

This period of integration is an essential part of the work.

Trusting the intelligence of the body :

One of the greatest lessons my clients have taught me is this:
The body carries a wisdom far greater than our desire to control the process.

My role isn’t to force healing.

It is to create a safe space where your body can remember its own capacity to heal, release and rebalance.

Sometimes the most profound work happens after you walk out of the room.
And that is perfectly okay.

A gentle invitation :

If you’ve been feeling stuck, emotionally overwhelmed, or if you sense that your body is trying to tell you something, perhaps it is time to listen differently.

Whether we meet in person in West Cork, Ireland, or online from anywhere in the world, I would be honoured to accompany you on that journey.
