I healed my chronic back pain not with surgery, but by uncovering a subconscious command. As a transformational therapist, and someone who approaches life through a spiritual lens, here’s what it taught me about how the mind shapes reality.
For months, I lived with sharp pain shooting down my left leg. A lumbar hernia was pressing on a nerve, and even after surgery, the pain returned — along with the recommendation for yet another operation. That was my breaking point — and also my breakthrough.
Normally doctors point to lifestyle or age as the cause, but in my case they told me it wasn't that. So I decided to stop treating only the symptom and instead ask: Why was my body creating this pain?
Through hypnotherapy, I uncovered something surprising. My subconscious mind had created the condition to get attention long before I even knew I had it, and maintained it for years, believing I was a child in need of care. It didn’t realise I had grown up, but when I showed it, my symptoms changed in a night.
That moment changed how I understood both illness and healing — and led me to explore deeper the connection between quantum theory, therapy, and spirituality.
When people hear the phrase quantum healing, they often imagine that simply thinking positively will instantly “collapse reality” into a healed state.
That’s a misconception. Healing isn’t about forcing the body into wellness through wishful thinking.
What’s true — and supported by psychoneuroimmunology, placebo research, and trauma science (see some sources at the end) — is that our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions profoundly shape our nervous system, hormones, immune function, and overall wellbeing.
This is what quantum theory suggests: At the tiniest level of reality, particles don’t exist in one fixed state but in a range of possibilities, and the act of interaction or observation influences which state becomes real.
Similarly, our internal world — the beliefs and emotional states we habitually ‘observe’ within ourselves — influences which possibilities the body and mind move toward.
In other words: the internal world influences the external reality of the body.
Think of your body as a garden.
Quantum theory doesn’t mean snapping your fingers and watching flowers bloom instantly. Instead, it suggests that beneath the surface, reality exists as possibilities — like hidden seeds waiting for the right conditions. When you change the environment — the light, the water, the care — new life begins to emerge naturally.
Therapy, in this sense, is the process of changing the soil conditions: shifting the subconscious patterns that keep you stuck, and opening the space for healing to happen.
Anna (name changed) grew up in an abusive home. Later, her relationships repeated the same painful patterns, leaving her with PTSD.
In our three months of work together, something extraordinary happened. She discovered that the punishing beliefs she carried weren’t hers. They were an energetic inheritance — passed down from a deceased ancestor who had struggled with the same wounds. This ancestor could not protect herself physically or legally in her lifetime. Yet, even though Anna had the power to do both, she had inherited fears that didn’t match her own reality.
When Anna realised this, she was able to say: “This is not me”. She cut the energetic bond, released the burden, and began to see herself differently. That shift in perspective transformed her reality.
From both my personal journey and my work with clients, here’s what I’ve come to understand:
Healing happens when we work beneath the surface of the conscious mind.
The subconscious and energetic levels are where the deepest change occurs.
When those inner shifts happen, the body often follows — regulating the nervous system, calming stress responses, and activating the body’s natural self-healing capacity. Research into hypnotherapy also supports this, showing its benefits for trauma, anxiety, and belief change.
This is not “magic.” It’s the science of possibility meeting the art of therapy.
Quantum theory reminds us that reality isn’t fixed — it’s shaped by observation, intention, and energy.
Therapy, when done deeply, works in the same way. It helps you release old programs, beliefs, and bonds that no longer serve you, so you can experience life in a new way — as a vibrational being capable of shifting into new realities as soon as you align your consciousness with a different frequency.
Reality itself is not fixed — rather, it’s fluid, interconnected, and full of infinite potential.
That’s what healed my back. That’s what allowed Anna to reclaim her life. And it’s what I see every day in my work with people who are ready to change.
With the power of technology, I work face-to-face with people all over the world. If this article resonates with you, I invite you to explore more on my website and book a free consultation call.
Healing is possible — and it begins by changing the conditions of your inner garden.
