Tue, 11 Mar 2025
What if your biggest challenges were actually guiding you toward something greater? In this episode, I sit down with Jim Curtis to explore how pain, uncertainty, and even illness can be powerful teachers. Jim shares his personal story of navigating an undiagnosed illness and how shifting his mindset transformed his healing journey. We talk about the power of synchronicities, trusting life’s timing, and using hypnosis to reprogram the subconscious mind for growth. We also dive into quantum identity shifts, conscious leadership, and daily practices like gratitude and manifestation to create meaningful change. Whether you're facing personal struggles, career challenges, or simply looking for deeper connection, this conversation offers insights into how to shift fear into abundance and align with your true potential. === GUEST LINKS Instagram: @jimcurtis1 Website: bit.ly/1peaceluv === Have you watched our previous episode titled Manifest Anything You Desire in 30 Days?

Chapter 1: How can pain be a teacher for personal growth?
I hate myself. I hate myself for having this disability. I hate myself for who I am. I think that I'm bad. I think that I'm guilty and broken. I feel so much pain in my body. I went after that with emotional healing, subconscious healing, and then energetic healing. And when I finally started to love myself again, all the pain went away in my body. That pain is teaching you something.
It's bringing you somewhere. Whatever happens, it's going to be all right. Even if the worst thing happens, you're going to make it through. And so just allowing yourself to do that settles the inflammation in your mind, which lowers the inflammation in your body. We feel disconnected from our higher self. And that's what's bringing in so much fear.
We're living within the programs that we've created. And once we kind of lower the friction of that and emotionally regulate, you can overcome any obstacle. You're a small shift away from everything that you do. to make it an exciting life that is in alignment versus a life of struggle that things are happening to you.
Something very specific around getting over the pain that you're in is to recognize that

Chapter 2: What does it mean to be in the right place at the right time?
Yes. So there are a number of things. One, you can reduce your anxiety very quickly. You can start to speak to your higher self very quickly because sometimes it's like, what is my connection to spirit? How do I connect with spirit, higher self, the one that's always listening and watching the conscious awareness? You can start to get your mind and body to work together.
And there are a lot of different ways that you can use self-hypnosis, even by counting down so that you can start to put yourself into your own trance state. But just by – if I was to ask you, I have a really ripe lemon and I'm going to cut this lemon in half and squeeze this super juicy sour juice out. And now I really want you to first smell how citrusy this is and then –
take a bite of this really, really ripe sour, sour, sour lemon, like super pucker sour. And do you already start to feel like your mouth watering a little bit?
Yes, 100%.
All right, so this is the power of your mind. Your imagination is as real to your body as reality is. And so we can start to get into a self-hypnosis where you're just literally imagining the best outcome. or imagining you're speaking to your highest power, or imagining that your body is healthy. And you can count yourself down. With each breath, you can count down from five to one.
With each breath going down, imagine you're walking down with your eyes closed and you feel your breath. Imagine you're walking down a flight of stairs. There's 10 stairs. And just close your eyes and imagine you're walking down from 10 to one. First on the first step, 10. Going down a little bit deeper. Nine. Feeling your breath and your shoulders even relaxing a little bit.
And then have your most subtle voice, the voice of your higher power, just come in a little bit. Eight. Seven. Six. All the way down. Five. Walking down the stairs. Four. Three. Two. One, down here in your relaxed state as you feel the breathing, your voice of the higher power gets a little bit louder, a little bit more clear. It's the loving voice that can be aware of all things.
And here, this voice has messages for you. And if you can just notice those messages, notice the ease of them. And now also down here, you may want to speak to your body. Imagine, visualize, or see that it's working properly. There's no pain. Or even imagine that you're floating. And as you float in the most comfortable place, your body can just relax.
So if you're in a pool of water and you have no weight, you're just buoyant. Any pain in your neck or shoulders can just go away in buoyancy. even in your lower back may just feel at ease. And then you can come right back up one, two, three, four and five and your eyes open and you realize that the voice in your head can bring you there anytime that you want. And if you have pain,
