Stay the Course

A session can sometimes bring about a real change.

Something releases, a new understanding emerges, an emotion is released. We feel different, lighter, freer, with the sense that something has truly shifted.

And it has.

But that doesn’t necessarily mean that our old habits, reactions or ways of thinking disappear overnight. Although it is possible.

We may have spent years functioning in a certain way: adapting, protecting ourselves, staying silent, getting angry, trying to control everything, taking care of others before ourselves…

So even when we have chosen a new direction, we may sometimes find ourselves slipping back into our old ways.

I think of a boat changing course.

The captain knows where they want to go. Yet the wind, the currents or the waves can push the boat off course.
That doesn’t mean they chose the wrong direction.
They look at where they are, notice that they have drifted off course, and adjust their direction.
Then they keep going.

Change can be like that too.

It doesn’t necessarily mean never falling back into an old reaction again.
Maybe it means beginning to recognise it sooner.

“Oh yes… I’m doing that again.”

And this time, instead of judging ourselves or thinking that nothing has changed, we can simply remember the direction we had chosen.

And get back on course, again and again.

At first, we may need to do this often. Then, little by little, this new way of being becomes more familiar. We recognise it more easily. We return to it more quickly.

Until one day, we realise that what once required effort has become much more natural.

Returning to an old pattern doesn’t mean that our inner process of change hasn’t begun.

Change is also about noticing sooner when we have drifted back into an old pattern, and knowing how to find our way back on course.

Kinesiology session with Muriel Laradi

• The soldier didn’t need to disappear

Kinesiology session with Muriel Laradi

The soldier didn’t need to disappear

During a session, the image of a soldier appeared.
A soldier who had learned to fight, to resist, to remain vigilant.

This image echoed something very present in this woman: a way of moving through life always ready to fight, to defend her place, to be seen or recognised.

But that day, it wasn’t about getting rid of the soldier.
Quite the opposite.

He had been useful. He had developed strength, courage, the ability to keep going and move forward.
Perhaps he simply didn’t need to be on duty all the time anymore.

I told her something I often say when this kind of pattern appears:

“You know this posture by heart.”

You know how to fight, resist and stay standing. You have practised it for a long time.
Now, perhaps you can learn another posture.
One of openness, non-doing and gentleness too.

Letting things come instead of going after them. Receiving instead of having to obtain. Not constantly having to defend something.
And this doesn’t mean losing your strength.

If one day you really need the soldier, you will know perfectly well how to wake him up. You already know the way.”

Often, we continue to function in a certain way simply because we know it so well.
It may have protected us or helped us through certain periods of our lives.
But we can also explore another side of ourselves and discover that there is a strength that doesn’t come from fighting.

A quieter strength.

Then another question can arise:

Who am I if I no longer need to fight to be seen, recognised or safe?
And what can I do with all this energy, now that it is no longer being used to fight?

Kinesiology session with Muriel Laradi how it works

• How does a session with me work — and what happens afterwards?

Kinesiology session with Muriel Laradi how it works

How does a session with me work — and what happens afterwards?

Today, I would like to clarify a little about the way I work.

Not because every session follows exactly the same process — quite the opposite — but because I think it is important that people who come to see me understand how I work and what they can expect from working with me.

A session usually begins with a conversation.

What feels difficult or uncomfortable today? But also: how could your life be better? What could make a difference and bring you more peace, more joy, or simply put a smile back on your face?

From there, the work can take different directions.

We may look for a theme. I often describe it as the title of the chapter you are in right now: what needs to be looked at today.

We may also work with an intention: the direction you would like to move towards. It is expressed in the present tense and in a positive way: “I am becoming more independent,” “I welcome peace into my life,” “I fully accept my situation”…

Or we simply move forward step by step, following what the muscle testing indicates.

A theme may be worked through in one session, or it may require several. We do not necessarily know this at the beginning.

Then the work itself begins.

I mainly use muscle testing from kinesiology to communicate with the body and guide the session, using different protocols I have learned throughout my years of practice, together with my intuition.

One does not replace the other.

My intuition may suggest a direction, and I then use muscle testing to check whether it is part of the work needed in that session.

In my practice of kinesiology, emotions connected to stress that you are struggling, or no longer able, to manage are at the heart of the work. We explore what may be connected to that stress: one or several memories, beliefs, a relationship, a family or ancestral story, an energetic imbalance, or something very concrete in your present life.

At the end of the session, I check whether there is anything to do in the hours or days that follow: a practice to continue, something to observe or write down, or a particular reaction that may arise.

When something comes up clearly through muscle testing, I let you know so that you understand what to be aware of and, when necessary, what you can do.

However, I do not systematically contact my clients after a session to ask how they are feeling.

This is a choice.

For me, accompanying someone means walking alongside them. It does not mean pulling them forward or overprotecting them. It means respecting their autonomy, their responsibility and their ability to observe what is happening within themselves.

That does not mean that I never follow up. If there is something particular that I feel requires additional attention, we may agree at the end of the session that I will contact you the following day, a few days later, or at another appropriate time.

And if something unusual, difficult or too intense arises after a session, please contact me.

We can look together at what is happening, whether there is something I can do to help, or whether you simply need some time to talk.

There may also be situations that require the support of another professional, particularly a medical professional. My work does not replace this and, when I identify such a need, I will let you know.

Finally, one session is not always enough.

Sometimes a significant change happens after the first session and the person does not feel the need to come back straight away.

But this is not what I observe most often.

In my practice, I generally find that the work begins to settle and become more stable over several sessions. Often three or four. Sometimes more.

This is neither a rule nor a promise. Everyone comes with their own story, their own pace, and the work they have already done.

For me, one of the most beautiful signs that our work together has borne fruit is when you no longer need me.
I accompany you for part of the journey.
But the journey remains yours.

If You No Longer Had to Be Always Available...kinesiology session

• What If You No Longer Had to Be Always Available to Feel That You Belong?

If You No Longer Had to Be Always Available...kinesiology session

What If You No Longer Had to Be Always Available to Feel That You Belong?

She came to see me because she felt exhausted.

For years, she had been the person everyone in her family turned to whenever there was a problem.
She listened, supported, looked for solutions. Her sisters, her brother and her daughter knew they could count on her.

She was always there.
Always.

Her adult daughter was going through a difficult time and, once again, she had become deeply involved in helping her. She looked for solutions, anticipated difficulties and tried to protect her from some of the consequences.

During our work together, a sentence emerged:

“I can love her without carrying her.”

She took it in, surprised to feel that it was true both in her heart and in her mind.

When she came back a few weeks later, something had changed. Her expression was softer, her voice more assured.

“I feel so much better!”

She had said something she had never imagined saying to anyone, and even less to her daughter:

“It’s up to you to manage now. I’m not carrying you anymore. This isn’t against you. I’m doing this for me.”

The words felt so right to her that, despite her surprise, her daughter was able to hear them.

Then she told me about another, much more ordinary situation.
One of her sisters had asked her to go into town with her to deal with some paperwork.

Usually, she would have found a way to make herself available. This time, she already had something planned that mattered to her, and she replied:

“I can’t today. Maybe you could ask someone else.”

Very simple words, but for her, a real change.

She was beginning to discover that she could still have her place in other people’s lives without always being the one who helped, supported or found a solution.

During the session, our work brought us to the place she had occupied in her family for so long.

The one everyone could rely on
The one who found a solution.
The one who made herself available.

I wondered: underneath all of this, who was she? What were her own desires?

So I asked her:

“If you had more time and energy for yourself, what would you like to do with them?”

She was silent for a few seconds.
Then her expression changed.

“I would go back to studying.”

She smiled.

“I’ve always dreamed of studying herbal medicine.”

Her dream was still there. It had simply been waiting for her, behind all the more urgent things, the requests, the problems to solve, the people to support.

We continued working with this sense of freedom and the energy she could feel growing within her.

She could say yes or say no.
She could help when she genuinely wanted to and had the time.
She could also let someone else find their own solution.
And, finally, she could give time to something that deeply mattered to her.

Until then, being available to others had largely shaped the place she occupied within her family.
Now, another way of being in relationship with them was beginning to emerge.

Her dreams had a place in her life too.


Are you the person who is always there for others, putting them before yourself?

Do you always carry problems that aren’t yours to solve? Do you neglect your own dreams in favour of fulfilling the goals and needs of your family?

I would be honoured to accompany you on your journey to deeply reconnect with yourself — with love and care, giving yourself the time and space to fully enjoy your own life.

We carry stories that began long before us - kinesiology session

• Do we carry stories that began long before us?

We carry stories that began long before us - kinesiology session

Do we carry stories that began long before us?

A few years ago, a woman came to see me with a question around addiction.

In her family, addiction had already taken several forms.
Her maternal grandfather was an alcoholic. So was his brother.
Her mother did not drink. She had seen too closely what alcohol could do. But every evening, she needed her cigarettes, her coffee and her film. It was a ritual she could not do without.

She had not repeated her father’s addiction.
And yet, something seemed to have found another form.

During the session, we began to follow that thread.
What was there to soothe? To suppress? Perhaps to forget?

Then images began to appear.
Little by little, a story took shape.

Was it an ancestral memory? A representation of something carried within the family? Something else entirely?

I cannot say. I can only tell what presented itself that day and how the session unfolded.

I saw a woman from another time.
She had been married and had a child. Her husband had died. After his death, his brother had taken authority over her and her son.
He made the decisions.
He wanted her to marry a man he had chosen for her.

She refused.
And her refusal triggered an immense, almost volcanic rage in him.
He killed her.

In what was appearing to me, the woman was still there. So was her child.

We worked with them, with what had been interrupted, with what still seemed to be waiting for some kind of resolution.

Then everything became quiet.
I thought we had finished.
But I had had a pain in my throat since the beginning of this part of the work. The pain had eased, and then it came back.
Something was still there.
Or someone.

We had looked at the woman and her child.
The man was still there too.
The one who had killed. The one who, in what was presenting itself to us, seemed unable to leave.

I invited Julie and her mother to turn towards him and say:

I see you.

Not to erase what he had done.
Not to say that it was acceptable.

Simply to see him.

And those few words changed something.

He was no longer only the man who had committed this terrible act and was cast out of the story. He was also a man caught in his rage, his act and his shame.

The work could continue.
And something that until then had seemed held back could finally begin to settle.

I sometimes think back to that session.

I don’t know whether the story that appeared to me belonged to an ancient reality, to the memory of a family lineage, or to that mysterious language through which our unconscious and our intuition sometimes give form to something that is asking to be met.

I only know what happened that day.

We had started with addictions present across several generations. We followed what came, without knowing where it would lead us.

And this story appeared.
A woman and her child.
And then this man, still there too.

Perhaps freeing a story does not always mean erasing it, explaining it, or even understanding it.
What if it begins simply with being able to look at what has remained in the shadows and say:

I see you.


Unwinding inherited patterns with care and grounding

Sometimes, emotional patterns or inner struggles do not originate solely in your personal history. They may be linked to unresolved experiences, trauma, or burdens carried within the family lineage.

This process is always approached carefully and respectfully, guided by what is ready to be met in the present moment.

I would be honoured to accompany you on your journey to discover which stories from the past, though not yours, can still shape your life.

to be happy Muriel Laradi kinesiology session

• She Had Forbidden Herself To Be Happy

to be happy Muriel Laradi kinesiology session

She Had Forbidden Herself To Be Happy…

She had travelled a long way.

She contacted me after seeing one of my posts in a Facebook group.

Just before that, she had asked for a sign. Something that would show her where to turn, who might be able to help her.
Then she saw my post.
That is how she found her way to me.

For a very long time, she had been used to taking care of others.

Even as a little girl, she would pray for the people around her. When she started school, she once found herself in tears: there were suddenly so many people that she no longer had enough time or energy to pray for each one of them.

This care for others stayed with her as she grew up.
She gave a lot, carried a lot, cared for a lot of people.
Some difficult experiences in her childhood had also taught her to put others before herself.
And gradually, the people around her became accustomed to her being the one who was always there, the one who helped, the one who gave.
She had done all of this naturally, without expecting anything in return.

But over time, she began to realise that no one seemed to check in on her or ask how she was. No one seemed interested in knowing what she might need.
And when this feeling became impossible to ignore, she saw something even more clearly: people were contacting her because they needed something from her.

That was where the hurt came from—not because she expected to receive something in exchange for all she had given, but because she had begun to see how rarely anyone thought of her simply for her own sake.

And something has started to change.

She is beginning to be clearer in her relationships.
No longer accepting certain things simply because she has always accepted them.
Beginning to look at what she needs too.
Choosing herself more.

But there was something else she realised had always been there in her life:

Whenever something good happens to her, something difficult seems to follow almost immediately afterwards, as if to cancel it out.
To the point that a belief had taken root:

“It is as if I were not allowed to be happy.”

This is what we worked on during the session.

Following what muscle testing was showing us, we arrived at old memories.
Memories that did not even seem to belong to her.
And yet, they still seemed to resonate in her life today.

As though a part of her had continued to obey a very old prohibition, long after it had lost its reason for being.

This is something that always interests me in my work: we can understand so much about ourselves, have already changed, begun setting boundaries, made different choices… and still feel that somewhere, something continues to persist.

Perhaps she was ready to meet this memory now precisely because she had already begun to change:

She carries others less. She is becoming clearer in her relationships. She chooses herself more.
And perhaps she can also consider something that, until now, had felt almost dangerous:
She can be happy without waiting for something to come along and make her pay for it.


Do you take care of others more than of yourself?

Do you feel neglected by others? Has giving become so natural that you have forgotten about yourself?
Can you be happy simply being there for yourself, without always needing to be there for others?

I would be honoured to accompany you on your journey to deeply connect to yourself and find your inner peace and joy.

• What If You Could See Differently What You Cannot Forgive Yourself For?

What If You Could See Differently What You Cannot Forgive Yourself For?

Sometimes, during our lives, we do something that we later judge very harshly.

With time, we may end up forgetting it. But sometimes the memory remains, carrying an immense sense of shame.

How could I have done that?

We can continue judging ourselves long after the event. What we did then takes up so much space that it damages the way we see ourselves and prevents us from recognising the person we have since become.

A woman came to see me to work on self-acceptance, her sense of inner safety and her ability to be present with herself.

During the session, muscle testing brought us back to a time in her youth.

At that age, she was under the influence of someone she believed she had to obey. She had agreed to do certain things that she still considered unacceptable many years later.

She had never been able to forgive herself.

Whenever she thought about the young woman she had been, all she could see was what she had done. She saw her fear, her obedience and everything she wished she had lived differently. She would have wanted to feel free. She would have wanted to be joyful. Instead, she had found herself caught in a situation in which she could no longer recognise herself.

Then I invited her to look at what happened next.

Because she was the one who had ended that relationship.
One day, despite her fear and the influence this person had over her, something within her had said: this has to stop.
She had found the strength to leave.

She had never looked at herself from that perspective.
For years, she had condemned the young woman who had obeyed without recognising the one who had eventually said no.

Yet it had taken great determination and courage to end that situation. That was what I found so powerful: she had been able to bring it to an end herself.

The age that had come up during the session was connected to an energetic disturbance. As we worked to rebalance it, something began to settle.

The past had not changed. But she could finally look at that young woman through different eyes.

It was as if she had abandoned her there all those years ago. She had preferred to forget her and never think about her again. The shame she felt for her was overwhelming. Whenever she did look back at her, it was with harshness almost looking down on her, as though that young woman deserved neither her own respect nor her own love, let alone anyone else’s.

At the end of our work, I invited her to bring this young woman back into her heart and to bring her home with her into the present.

She did so with great tenderness.

She could now welcome the whole of that young woman: her fear and vulnerability, but also the strength, determination and courage she had shown. These were resources she could reconnect with in her life today.

Perhaps this time in her life will come up again in another session. Perhaps other emotions and other parts of her story will still need to be heard. Each time, we go as far as the person is able to go, with whatever is ready to appear that day.

But at the end of this session, she was at peace with that emotion.
And the young woman she had left behind could finally come home.


Have you done something that casted the shadow of shame on you?

You forget what you did but you still criticise and judge yourself?
You don’t accept and love yourself but you don’t know why?

I would be honoured to accompany you on your journey to deeply connect and see yourself differently with love and compassion.

• What If You Didn’t Have to Make Everything Happen?

Muriel Laradi blog

What If You Didn’t Have to Make Everything Happen?

There are people who have learned to survive by doing.

Taking care of things.
Finding solutions.
Making sure things happen.

And sometimes, after years of living this way, receiving can feel almost unfamiliar.

A woman I have been working with has a particular connection with the Virgin Mary. Her presence had already emerged very strongly during one of our sessions.

Some time later, my client told me a small story.

There was a place she liked to pass during her walks, where there was a small grotto dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
She loved stopping there, but she was saddened by its condition. The paint was peeling and the place looked neglected.
One day, she happened to mention it to someone she knew.
She didn’t contact anyone responsible for the place or try to organise anything herself. The person simply said she knew someone she could mention it to.

A few weeks later, my client passed the grotto again.
It had been repainted.
She was delighted.

But what interested me even more was what she said afterwards.
Recently, she had begun to have this feeling:

I ask, and things happen.

Of course, she didn’t mean that everything she wanted was suddenly given to her.

For years, she had lived with a deeply wounded sense of her own value. During our work together, this had started to change. And I could see that she was beginning to experience her relationship with life differently too.

She could say what she wanted without immediately thinking that she had to make it happen herself.
She could ask for something, leave it there, and see what happened.

I also found it quite touching that this particular experience happened around a grotto dedicated to the Virgin Mary, after her presence had already appeared so strongly in our work together.

When she told me the story, she was simply happy. The grotto had been taken care of, and for her it was one more of those recent moments when life seemed to be responding differently.

Maybe life was changing around her.
Maybe she was noticing different things because something had changed inside her.
Probably a little of both.


Do you have tendency to do everything by yourself? 

You never ask for help even it would be needed to make your day easier? Do you have feeling that asking for something lowers your value?

• What If You No Longer Accepted What Once Felt Normal?

Muriel Laradi kinesiology

What If You No Longer Accepted What Once Felt Normal?

She was very young when her mother left.

From then on, she had to take care of others. She had responsibilities that shouldn’t have been hers at that age, and very little space to simply have a life of her own.

She became used to doing things for other people, helping them, carrying them, responding to what they needed from her.

And when this starts very early, it can become much more than a habit.

It can become part of the way we find our value.

I matter because I am useful.
I have value because I help.
I have a place because others need me.

At the same time, she experienced situations within her family that were deeply abusive and damaging to her self-esteem.

What we experience as children can prepare the ground for the relationships and situations we encounter later in life.

When you have grown up being shown, through words or behaviours, that your needs don’t matter very much, that other people’s needs come first, or that your boundaries can be crossed, you don’t suddenly leave all of this behind when you become an adult.

You enter adult life with what you have learned about yourself.

And sometimes this means tolerating far too much.

This had been part of her story for many years. She continued to give a lot to others. People continued to ask a lot from her. And she also experienced other relationships in which she was badly treated.

Then, after our first session, something happened.

She met a man she already knew and didn’t particularly like. She didn’t find him kind or generous, and she recognised in his behaviour something she no longer wanted in her life.

He tried to engage with her.

This time, she didn’t accommodate him.

She didn’t try to be nice because that was expected of her. She didn’t make space for someone she didn’t want in her space. She told him very clearly that she wasn’t interested in having a relationship with him.

When she told me about it at our next session, she was proud of herself.
And she had every reason to be.
Because what may look from the outside like a simple conversation was, for her, much more than that.

She had listened to herself.
She had trusted what she felt about this man.
And instead of putting his wish to connect with her before her own feelings, she had chosen herself.

I warmly congratulated her ! These moments matter.

Every time we recognise that we have acted differently, every time we allow ourselves to see our own progress, something becomes a little more solid inside us.

She wasn’t simply learning to say no.
She was rediscovering the woman who had been there all along, underneath years of adapting, giving, carrying and putting others first.

A woman who can feel what is right for her, who can trust her own perception and decide who she wants in her life.
A woman who knows increasingly that her value doesn’t depend on what she does for other people.

And this is also why healing can change the relationships we encounter.

The world around her hasn’t suddenly changed. There will still be people who want to take too much, cross boundaries or use another person’s generosity.

But she is meeting them differently.

And when we no longer meet people from the same place inside ourselves, the same encounters don’t necessarily become the same relationships.

Sometimes, they simply stop at the door.

Peace in the relationship with yourself - kinesiology session

• The Words I Use Are Not the Truth

The Words I Use Are Not the Truth

When a client comes to see me, our work begins with listening.

I listen to their story, the words they use, what seems important and sometimes what seems to lie underneath.
And while I listen, ideas, connections or phrases may come to me.

Recently, during an initial conversation, a client was explaining how different she often felt from other people. She needed to understand things deeply and sometimes struggled with the fact that her way of functioning did not seem to fit the way others functioned.

A sentence came very clearly to me:

“I am at peace with the way I function.”

It felt right. But feeling right is usually not enough for me.

INTUITION AND TESTING WORK TOGETHER

Over more than 25 years of practice, I have trained in different approaches to kinesiology and other therapeutic and energetic methods.

Some of the tools I use come directly from these trainings: protocols, charts, detection points and specific phrases. Others arise intuitively during a session.
But these are not two separate ways of working.
Most of the time, I test what comes intuitively.

I check whether a direction is appropriate, whether it is a priority, whether this is what we need to work with now or whether something else needs to come first.

Sometimes something that seems completely logical is not where the body leads us.
Sometimes something unexpected is.

This dialogue between intuition and testing is at the heart of my practice.

In this particular session, “I am at peace with the way I function” was confirmed as our direction of work.
Later, one of my protocols brought us to another sentence:

“I am in harmony with my psyche.”

This phrase belongs to an existing protocol and is associated with a specific detection point at the top of the forehead, close to the hairline.

Over the years, I have noticed that this point often appears when someone is struggling with themselves — when they have difficulty accepting or making peace with the way they think, feel or function.

Considering what this client had just told me, the connection was striking.
But information during a session does not always appear through a protocol.

WHEN INFORMATION COMES AS AN IMAGE

Sometimes I perceive an image. Sometimes a word comes. Something may seem to have a shape, a position, a movement or even dimensions.
And I need words to communicate what I perceive.

I might speak of a cord, a wall, a stake, an energetic attachment, a hole or a weight.
But what exactly is it?
I don’t claim to know.

When I use words such as “a stake”, “a cord”, “a wall” or “an energetic attachment”, I am describing the form in which the information presents itself to me. I am not claiming that this is an objective reality.

I always remind my clients:
“These are my words, my perceptions and my vocabulary. You don’t have to make them yours.”
And yet, we can work with them.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BELIEVE IN A SYMBOLE TO EXPERIENCE IT

Sometimes the work takes the form of a symbolic exercise or ritual.
For example, if what emerges during a session is what I call a karmic vow, I may propose a ritual of release.

I don’t think someone needs to decide whether such a vow literally exists before working with what it represents.

There is a difference between belief and participation.

For the duration of the ritual, I invite the person to enter the experience fully.
A mirror, a candle, words spoken aloud, a gesture of release — these give a physical and symbolic form to something that may otherwise remain abstract.

There is a before, an action, and an after.

A story, an image or a ritual can sometimes change the way we experience our own story.
We don’t necessarily need to know exactly what the symbol is in order to discover what working with it may open.

WORDS GIVE FORM TO WHAT I PERCEIVE

This is something I believe is particularly important when working intuitively, energetically or symbolically.

What I perceive and the words I use to describe it are part of the therapeutic process. They are tools that allow us to explore something together.

Perhaps what appears to me as a “wall” would appear completely differently to another practitioner. Perhaps my client experiences it simply as pressure, fear or resistance.

What matters to me is not proving which description is right.
It is what becomes possible through the work.

I can say: “This is what is coming to me.”
I can test whether it is relevant.
We can explore it together.
And then we see what moves.

Because the purpose of a session is not to convince someone that my perception is right.

It is to help them become freer in their relationship with themselves.
And sometimes, freedom begins simply by making peace with the way we function.


Is your way of living different than others but feels right to you?

Are you in conflict between social patterns of functioning and your own way? Do you want to understand why you feel different?

I would be honoured to accompany you on your journey to deeply connect and understand yourself.
I offer in-person sessions in West Cork, Ireland, and online sessions worldwide.
