Have you ever dealt with a health issue that wouldn’t go away – no matter how much effort you made to resolve it?
That was my experience with acid reflux. Despite a balanced diet and healthy habits, the discomfort lingered. That’s when I stopped looking at it as just a digestive issue – and started listening to it as a message from my body.
What Is Mind-Body-Spirit Healing Modality?
Mind-Body-Spirit Healing is a holistic approach that sees you as a whole person – not just a collection of symptoms.
In this work, physical symptoms are seen as signals. Your body is wise – it communicates emotional, mental, and spiritual imbalances through discomfort or illness. When we tune in, these symptoms can lead us to deep healing and growth.
Holistic Insights on Acid Reflux
From a Mind-Body-Spirit perspective, acid reflux can reflect:
- Struggles with accepting life situations
- Unprocessed anger or frustration
- Suppressing your voice or truth
- Trying to control what can’t be controlled
My Wake-Up Call with Acid Reflux
The deeper I explored, while battling persistent acid reflux, the clearer the emotional connection became. So, I asked myself:
- Am I struggling to accept or “digest” something in my life?
- Am I holding onto unexpressed anger, resentment, or frustration?
- Am I suppressing my voice to avoid conflict?
The honest answer? Yes. I had experienced repeated situations where people had consistently been dishonest with me or treated me with disregard. Instead of expressing how deeply it hurt, I remained silent. I suppressed my voice, swallowed my truth, and tried to be the “peacekeeper” to avoid damaging my relationships with them.
But my body was speaking for me.
As I went deeper, I realised these repeated experiences were not just random or cruel. They were mirrors – reflecting my own unhealed beliefs and patterns:
- I believed I had to keep the peace to be loved.
- I feared being judged if I spoke up.
- I thought I had to tolerate mistreatment to avoid conflict.
These were old programmes or limiting beliefs I had unknowingly carried, and my body, in its wisdom, was finally calling me to release them.
How I Healed Using Mind-Body-Spirit Healing Modality Process
Once I understood the root cause of my reflux, I began using simple but powerful mind-body-spirit tools to support my healing. My healing journey wasn’t just about managing symptoms – it was about honouring my truth on all levels. Here’s what helped me transform:
1. Emotional Release
I used EFT tapping to clear the emotional charge of past betrayals and give voice to the anger, resentment and sadness I had suppressed. I allowed myself to feel what I hadn’t felt safe to feel before.
I used Positive affirmations to shift the limiting beliefs and negative thoughts I was holding onto and replaced them with an empowered mindset.
2. Forgiving and Letting Go
I worked on releasing the anger and resentment – not to excuse what happened, but to free myself from it:
- Radical Forgiveness helped me release blame, guilt, resentment, and self-judgment.
- Ho’oponopono, a Hawaiian healing prayer, helped clear emotional tension and restore inner harmony.
4. Reframing My Experience
Instead of staying stuck in victim mode, I moved from “Why is this happening to me?” to “What is this teaching me?”
As I did this inner work, the less I needed the symptom to get my attention. And over time, the acid reflux faded away. It didn’t happen overnight – but it happened.
A Balanced, Holistic Approach
Healing is often about more than just the physical symptoms – it usually involves both your body and your emotions. If you’re dealing with acid reflux, it’s a good idea to start by calming the symptoms with whatever treatments your doctor recommends. At the same time, you can support your body by avoiding common triggers, eating more alkaline-rich foods, and creating a lifestyle that feels calm and less stressful. That’s what helped me most – taking care of both the physical and emotional sides allowed my body to achieve profound healing.
Final Reflections
Pain is not the enemy – it’s the messenger. My acid reflux was my body’s way of begging me to stop swallowing lies – both from others and from myself.
If you’re dealing with a chronic symptom, I invite you to explore what your body might be trying to express. Healing happens when we listen – not just to the body, but to the deeper emotional and spiritual truths we’ve been afraid to face.
You deserve to live free, whole, and true to yourself. And so does your body.
