Welcome to Heal with Nicole Mixdorf. Let the journey begin. Welcome back, beautiful soul. This is Nicole Mixdorf. I'm your host. I'm an Akashic Light Healer and an intuitive guide. And we're diving deep into energy healing today because that has been such a huge piece of my own healing journey. And it's important that I share that with you. Now, if you've listened to some of my previous episodes, you probably heard the one about the five layers of healing, which go through all of the different layers that we need to dive into to really heal something completely and to return to our own state of wholeness. Now, the first layer is the physical, then we have the mental, the emotional, then the energetic, which is what we're talking about today, and then the spiritual layer. So the energetic layer of healing gets overlooked all the time, except in Chinese medicine, because Chinese medicine is actually all about energy healing. And the concept in Chinese medicine is that we have these energy centers in the body that our energy, our qi, our life force, our prana flows through that. And when these energy centers get blocked, then the energy can't flow through. The energy gets stagnant and stale, and that leads to pain and dis-ease within the body. So in the Chinese medicine system, they use acupuncture or acupressure or qigong to be able to open up your energy channels so the energy can start to flow. And that's why if you have pain in a certain part of your body or you're having certain symptoms and they open up an energy channel, you might have symptom relief because it was literally blocked. And that blockage was creating that. Now, in the yogic system, we have our chakras, our energy channels. And there's seven major chakras. We have additional ones too. And what I realized in my own body as I started doing a lot of the deep healing work that I was focused on was that I had blockages in every single one of my chakras. So there was a time in my life where I was feeling completely overwhelmed. I was burnt out. I was constantly pushing. I needed to prove so many things to myself, to my family, to everyone else. I found myself feeling pretty depleted. I was in a moment of scarcity where money wasn't flowing at that certain time in life. And I was sick. There were so many things that were happening that just created all of these different patterns. And what I uncovered is that every single one of those patterns was connected to blockages in my different chakras. And when I dove into the healing work that I've been doing in the Akashic Records, the energy healing work, I was able to uncover and release all the things that were blocking me and then activate what was missing from my life, what was dormant, so that I could return to a state of wholeness, of harmony, of balance, which completely changed everything. It allowed me to heal. It allowed me to have greater energy, greater vitality, where I had been completely depleted and exhausted before. Suddenly I felt like myself again, where I was sick, now I'm feeling healthy and strong and full of energy again. Where everything was hard, now it's easy. Where I felt blocked, now there's flow. It completely turned my entire life around. And not every single issue that you're dealing with in your life is going to be connected to your energy body, but your body is always speaking and communicating to every single layer that you have. And there's probably a component in your energy field that is maybe blocked and maybe contributing to some of the challenges that you're experiencing in your own life. And if you're looking to level up your life, if you're on any type of healing journey or personal development journey or spiritual journey, this is going to give you a roadmap to follow so that you can let go of the things that are holding you back from really being the person that you came here to be. So if you have any big dreams, any goals, any visions, anything that you're striving for for this year, any big thing that you're looking to try to achieve, to do, to become, you have to be willing to take that deep dive within yourself and uncover what's actually getting in your way of being able to achieve the thing that you want. Because if you already were completely open, you would have the things you want already. So if there's something more that you're yearning for, there's gonna inevitably be something that's getting in your way that is old, it's stagnant, it's unprocessed, it's unfelt. It just needs to go so that you can actually rise into being the person that is able to receive everything that your heart desires. So let's dive into it today and give you a better understanding of the journey that I went through, which can very easily be a journey that you go through yourself so that you can really heal, feel better, improve your relationships, improve your money situation, improve your connection within yourself, heal your body, all of it. Because every single thing is possible for you. Okay. Now, one of the biggest challenges that I was dealing with in my life was illness. I battled chronic illness on and off for 15 years. And for me, that showed up as ulcerative colitis, which are bleeding intestinal ulcers. So very much in that root chakra, like that lowest part of my body. And the root chakra is located at the base of your tailbone. So it's right down there. And these issues that I was dealing with were in that physical part of the body. Now, what that part of the body really holds is our safety and our security and our survival. And our money issues are tied in there too, and our home issues are tied in there as well. So if you're dealing with financial issues in your life, feeling scarcity, feeling lack, if your home life is not stable, if you have old traumas that are connected into not being safe, also abandonment issues, that is stored in that part of the body. And for me, I uncovered that part of the illness. This is one layer of it because it was a multi-layered issue for me to really get to the source of why I was dealing with that in my life. But one major part, the energetic piece of it, was abandonment. The health issue that I had, these bleeding ulcers, started when my dad got sick with cancer. And I feared that I was gonna lose him. And it's interesting because my dad actually had the same illness in his life that was plaguing me as well. And there was another layer, which was an ancestral generational wound that I had inherited through his side of the family, through that lineage and through the Akashic healing work that I do, I was able to uncover that that wound went back seven generations on my dad's family. And it was a persecution wound that was handed down through that lineage that was affecting 25 members of my family. And for me, when I finally was able to dive into that and uncover what was blocking in my root chakra and heal those things and feel those things, because that's honestly how you heal. You have to be willing to face your shadow, you have to be willing to dive into something and feel what wasn't felt originally. Then your body feels safe to finally let it go because you gave yourself permission to actually feel what was unprocessed. So I had to feel that fear of loss. I had to fear, feel that abandonment of losing my dad, of being left behind. I had to dive in to those uncomfortable feelings of scarcity and lack that was showing up in my financial life at that time. And when I dove into those issues and was able to clear it out of my root chakra, that finally allowed that space to just soften and to open up. And I no longer needed to live in survival mode anymore. Because whenever you're living in survival mode and you don't feel safe, that's gonna lead to chronic anxiety. That's going to lead to digestive issues, that's gonna lead to all of those kinds of, you know, low back pain, all this discomfort that you might be feeling in that part of your body. So if you're experiencing any of those kinds of symptoms or any of those types of issues, it might be connected into that root chakra. The work that I do as an Aquashic Healer, I'm able to go in and uncover the source, but then energetically release it so that I could also open and activate that chakra, that energy center that was blocked, where the energy wasn't able to flow, and now it was able to flow. And what did that do for me? Wow, it suddenly created a sense of safety within my own body where I didn't have to feel like I'm constantly just holding and feeling tight. And I didn't even know that that was a pattern that I was living in for so long. Now, the sacral chakra is the next one up, which is below the belly button. That's connected to all your reproductive organs. But this chakra is also connected into the energy of pleasure and creativity and flow and ease and emotions and relationships. It's actually where the divine feminine sits within our body. So no matter what your gender is, we have divine masculine and divine feminine energies. We each do. And ideally, your divine masculine and your divine feminine energies are balanced. That was not the case for me, okay? My divine feminine was absent. She she was missing from my life. I had no idea that I was living out of my divine masculine energy for so long. And I'm gonna get into that in a moment. But in that sacral chakra, that is your creative force. That's the flow. And I was feeling so blocked. I was feeling blocked in my passion center and in my feminine energy of my life. And that really didn't allow me to be in the energy of flow and ease and receiving, because instead, my solar plexus chakra, which is the next one up, it's actually right above the belly button. That's the seat of the divine masculine energy in the body. That's your power center, that's your strength, that's your identity, that's your confidence, that's your boundaries, right? That part of my life was on overdrive. So I had this huge imbalance going on where the energy of my solar plexus was overactive. And that meant, and the way it showed up for me was overworking, overdoing, constantly trying to control everything, pushing, pushing, pushing, pushing, pushing, doing action, action, action, action. And I think that as an entrepreneur, and before that, I was in corporate sales at a very high level. There's just a certain amount of action taking and pushing that is required in order to be successful. I would very ambitious, always pushing to achieve more, to achieve more, to achieve more. But that's a very masculine energy, that energy of pushing, of forcing, of doing, of going, of going, of going. And you need that to be successful. But when you're overdoing it, wow, it leads to burnout. And when that part of you is not in balance, that can also, you know, if if it's not enough, like mine was too active. If it's not active enough, that leads to people pleasing, right? And lack of confidence. So it can show up in different ways because that's the thing about our energy centers. If they're balanced, everything is working in alignment and harmony, but you might have too much of that energy being pushed through, or you might not have enough of it. And so, depending on if there's too much or not enough, it's going to show up in different ways in your life. So, for me, that realization that I had been living in my divine masculine energy for most of my adult life, that was a huge awakening for me to recognize that, yes, I've been successful in my life, but it's been hard. It's been a difficult road. There's so many challenges that I was coming up against because I wasn't in the flow of life, which is that sacral energy. I wasn't allowing, I wasn't in that energy of receiving. And that's the beauty of the divine feminine, right? That's the beauty of that sacral chakra being aligned, being activated, because that is what allows you to be in a different kind of softer power, that kind of power where you are just magnetizing, where you are attracting and allowing everything in rather than trying to force and make it happen. So there was a huge rebalancing that I needed to do in my sacral and in my solar plexus energy centers of my body. And that required me to go in and uncover what were these patterns really connected to? Why was my divine feminine so quiet? Where did she go? Why did she feel like she was in a cage, you know, and and in my divine masculine energy, why was that so overactive in my life? And through the healing work that I do, the akashic work, I was able to dive in and uncover another layer and a deeper layer and a deeper layer. And I was able to find those wounds that existed within me, those belief systems that were attached into those, those traumas, those wounds that I experienced that were holding me in those patterns. And I was able to energetically clear them and forgive it and release it and let it go. And then I was able to go in and activate the parts that were missing. So for me, in that root chakra, it was being able to activate the sense of safety, being able to activate the feeling of abundance, being able to activate the feeling of overflow, the energy of overflow. In the sacral chakra, that was about activating my pleasure, activating my passion, right? Being able to activate the energy of flow and ease and receiving. Those were things that were offline for me. My solar plexus, that was activating my power, but in a more balanced way, right? So that I could really speak confidently and show up in my strength. But it was for me, it was more about tampering that down because it was way overactive. Now, when we go into the heart chakra, which lives in the heart center, that's your love, that's compassion, that's connection, that's your ability to give and receive love in your life. Now, we carry a lot of grief in the heart space. And I've been through a lot of loss in my life. And losing my daddy right after having these pregnancy complications with my son, my baby was born in an emergency C section in the NICU. And that's when I found out my dad was dying. And then I got a flare up of colitis on top of it. I mean, all these things in my business like fell apart in that exact same moment. Like it was an insane time. It was a crazy time of my life where everything literally felt like it was upside down. I lost three pregnancies as well. I lost other family members. So I was carrying a lot of grief and a lot of loss. And those were wounds that were sitting in my heart chakra that were blocking me from being able to show up in a bigger way in my life. They were blocking me from really being able to just have all the energy flow through me the way that it's meant to. And that required me to dive in and see what is sitting in the heart chakra. What are all the experiences that I've gone through in my life where I was betrayed, where I was wounded, where my heart was broken. And I needed to feel those things. I needed to allow myself to face everything that I hadn't felt before. And on a physical level, blockages in the heart chakra can also lead to heart issues. It can lead to breathing issues and lung issues. So anyone with asthma or difficulty breathing, that's really connected to grief, unprocessed grief. And what's so interesting is that we have these wounds and experiences from this lifetime. We all have them from childhood through this moment in time. But a lot of additional layers are embedded in these chakras too, from past experiences that our soul already had from other lifetimes or ancestral lineage wounds that we inherited through our family line. Those are also layers that are embedded within these different chakra systems, within these energy centers of our body. So the ones that we experienced in this life, those are a lot more obvious for us of what we need to dive into and energetically release and let go. But thankfully, through the Akashic healing work I do, which is working at the soul level and really getting to the root of, okay, like where does this come from? Yeah, I may have had my heart broken and been through a lot of loss in this lifetime, but I've been through a lot of loss in other lifetimes too. And that also needed to be cleared. That also needed to be released so that I could open and activate that part of me in a bigger way. Now, in my throat chakra, I have a thyroid nodule that's been sitting in there. And it never made sense to me why that's sitting on my throat chakra because I'm a professional speaker. I have been speaking professionally for 20 plus years of my entire career. And I love being on stage. I love being heard. I love sharing my message with the world. I come alive when I do that. So I didn't understand what is that? Why do I have this sitting here? And when I started to dive into that, what I uncovered really surprised me. It was about times when I was younger in my teenage years where I felt like my voice was silenced, where I felt like my opinion didn't matter. It was also connected into my singing voice. Wow, because the speaking and the singing are completely separate issues. And I used to love singing when I was a child, but then somewhere along the journey, a belief system got put into my head that I can't sing. And I spent 15 years believing and Thinking I couldn't sing and I didn't sing anymore. And it wasn't until COVID, basically, that I decided to reconnect with my singing voice. And I love singing and I love to sing now, but my voice was silenced in that. And there was a deeper layer that was inside of my throat chakra as well. And that went back multiple lifetimes. And that was a wound of persecution for being a healer. And as you know, because I've taken you on this journey with me, I've gone through a massive transformation over the course of the last several years, but especially in the last year, as I've risen into this public identity as a healer, I was afraid to share that for many years. I was healing people in secret because my very corporate professional audience of executives and leaders and professionals, I didn't think that they were going to understand or accept me as a healer. I've been known as corporate wellness officer of balanced by nature for the last 14 years that I've been running this corporate wellness company and winning awards and working with these amazing global brands, supporting the well-being of thousands and thousands and thousands of their employees. I mean, I've been the one that was given the responsibility of the well-being of these massive organizations to design programs to support them. And I was afraid of being judged for rising into my voice as a healer, which was really based off of these persecution wounds from past lifetimes where I was a healer and I was persecuted for knowing the things I knew, for being able to do the things that I was able to do, for the abilities that I had, because it wasn't safe. It wasn't safe for me to be seen as doing this type of work. I had what's called the witch wound, which a lot of healers carry. And it keeps us from rising because it makes us play small, because we're afraid to be seen. We're afraid to be heard, because at some point along our soul's path, we were killed for it. We were persecuted for it. We were judged for it. So of course, our soul remembers that. And even though it's not connected to this lifetime, that wound was very active and it was very real as I started rising up and wanting to share my voice as a healer. So that was a huge piece that I needed to go in and heal within myself. And that might show up in your life in a different way. Maybe there was a time when you were silenced. Maybe you were told that you were too loud. Maybe you had to be quiet out of safety. Maybe you had to make yourself invisible because if you didn't, that meant physical harm was going to come to you. There are all of these traumatic experiences that we go through and we create belief systems that are attached to it, but there's energy that is holding us tight into those experiences. There's energy cords and tethers, and we have broken agreements, and there's soul contracts, and there's all of these energetic connections that are attached into those traumatic experiences that are holding them in those energy centers of our body. And when I do energy clearing through the healing work that I do for myself and for others, that is what I am able to unplug and transmute and clear and release and let go. And as soon as you clear those wounds, as soon as you release it from those energy centers of the body, your energy can flow again. And all of a sudden, for me, when I cleared those wounds, now I was able to rise as a healer. I was able to release this podcast. I was able to speak my truth and be able to share about chakras and angels and soul healing in a way that terrified me to do before. I was so afraid of other people's judgment that I was hiding this really big important part of my life. And it's fascinating to see now that I've released those wounds from my throat chakra that I'm able to finally speak my truth without fear. I can post on social media whatever I want and I just don't care anymore. I can channel light language because that is an immense, powerful gift that has reawakened within me. And I don't need to be scared of sharing that with anyone. I don't care if people don't like it. I don't care if people think it's weird. That's none of my business what anyone else thinks of me. The only person that I need to be true to is me. That's it. And if I'm hiding parts of myself, that's not being true to myself at all. So being able to clear and release that gave me freedom to really be who I came here to be. And that is so powerful. Now, in the third eye, that is connected into clarity and intuition, into your knowing. And when that's blocked, that is when you have overthinking. That is when you're doubting yourself. And so for me, that was a huge thing. It was like questioning all the things. And as soon as I went in and started uncovering, like, what are the wounds that are sitting in my third eye center, that are blocking my intuition, that are blocking my connection to my own wisdom, to my own truth that lives within me, all of a sudden, now it was like an open channel. And I get so inspired. I am constantly receiving divine downloads of information. It is pure magic. And I will tell you from my own experience that when you open up your third eye chakra, and you are deeply connected to your intuition and you follow it and trust it and you take action on it immediately, man, everything just magically starts to flow. It's like all the right opportunities just show up for me because I said yes to what feels aligned, because I said yes to what lights me up inside, because I said yes to that little voice inside of me that knows the truth, that was speaking. And instead of questioning her, I just listened to her and I trusted her and I said yes to her and I took action on it and I was rewarded. Because every time you do that, you get rewarded. But sometimes we're blocked in that through eye center. So if you have headaches all the time, if you deal with eye strain in any way, if you have brain fog, those are all signs that your third eye may be blocked. And that is something that you're gonna want to dive into to understand what is in here? What is blocking me in this area? Is it from my childhood? Is it from my adult life? Is it from another lifetime? Is it something I inherited through my family lineage that I don't need to carry anymore? Because I'll tell you, my friend, we are not meant to carry any of it. Experiences are meant to flow through us, right? Emotions are energy in motion. They're meant to be felt and released. Felt and released. They're supposed to just flow through us. But when we tense up and we hold ourselves or we don't want to feel something and we run away because it's too overwhelming or it scares us, then it doesn't flow through us and it gets stuck inside of us. It's unprocessed, it's unfelt. That's how these energy centers of our body get blocked. That's what keeps the energy from flowing. So diving into that with curiosity to understand where is this coming from? What is the source of this? It's powerful because the answers already exist within you. You can find it. And if you don't know how to do that, reach out to me because I would be honored to guide you through an Akashic journey where we open up your Akashic records and tap into the wisdom of your soul so that we can get to the root of, okay, like what's blocking you here? What is the source of this? Oh, it's this experience. Oh, this and this and this is what happened. These are the emotions that are stuck in here, right? And this, these are the energetic connections that are tying you in and holding you hostage to that experience, that are draining your energy, that are making you sick. No one needs to live their life feeling blocked, feeling sick, feeling overwhelmed, just dis-ease. It's not fun. And I lived that way for so long in my life. And to be at the point that I'm at right now, where I finally feel free, where I feel like I have energy, where I feel the vitality flowing through every cell of my body. It's a miracle. It's a miracle. I want everyone to feel that way. Because you deserve to feel that way. You don't deserve to be this shadow of yourself. You deserve to embody all of you to be who you really came here to be. And that's what's available to you when you clear what's in your way. So you can really step into who you are. The crown chakra, which is at the top of the head, the very top middle part of your head, this is what connects you into purpose, into your connection, into that higher guidance, right? And when that is blocked, that leads us to a sense of disconnection, of lack of meaning, of feeling lost in our life, of not having direction, not knowing where we're going, not having meaning, and being able to open up that that crown chakra to connect into purpose. Oh my God, that changes everything. Everything. Now we have multiple purposes in our life, and it can evolve over time because I always connected very deeply into having a purpose where I'm meant to inspire. The spirit of inspiration flows through me. And I have always, just from stepping into a room, been able to inspire every single person in there through my words, through my actions, just through my energy, because that's just part of my frequency of who I am. But in the last few years, what I've really uncovered is that my actual purpose in this life is to be a healer. I did not know that a long time ago. I thought I was just here to inspire and uplift everyone. And I did that. But as I went through this massive journey of overcoming chronic illness and having to heal myself from chronic illness, that is what allowed the healer within me to be awakened. I couldn't do the work I'm doing now if I wasn't sick in the first place. That's why my soul had a soul contract in this lifetime to be sick. Whoa, that was crazy to uncover because I was meant to overcome it. I was meant to heal myself and have the healer within me awakened so I could help heal everyone else. It all made sense. The suffering I went through wasn't for nothing. It was for a massive purpose. And now I'm connected into that massive purpose and I'm taking action on it. I'm aligning my life with it. I completely shifted the focus of my business so that I could allow myself to rise as a healer, this new identity as a healer to rise unafraid, uninhibited. So I could be all of me and share all of me and shine my light into the world, share my frequency with the soul-aligned people who are meant to receive it. And if you are here listening right now, then you are one of those beautiful souls that are aligned and meant to receive my frequency. And thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here. Because you're a part of my purpose. This is part of my reason for being. And I'm here to raise the collective vibration on the planet. That's the double mission that I have in this life. I'm meant to be a healer and awaken souls. That is what I'm here to do. I am here to help people reconnect to their soul, open up their energy, and really step into the truth of who they are, to find their voice, to find safety within their body, to be able to rise into their gifts, into who they are and live their life on purpose. Like that is one of my big missions in life. And the double mission is that I'm supposed to download light codes and anchor them into the frequency of the Earth's grid in order to help the earth rise up as we shift into this golden era that we are moving into. Powerful. And I am not afraid to share that anymore. I am happy, honored. It feels liberating to be able to say that out loud and not be scared of being judged or of what anyone else is going to think because I know what I am here for. And when you can undo the blocks that are getting in your way and connect into your truth, connect into what you are here for, to receive it and to be it. Man, it is the greatest feeling in the world. And that is what I want for you. I want you to rise into your next level self. And that's why I'm creating a program called Rise. And it's going to be coming out very soon. And it's literally doing this exact work that I did on myself, going through systematically each chakra at a time to uncover what is blocking your route. Is it financial scarcity? Do you have abandonment issues? Like what is going on in the root? What needs to be cleared? And then what needs to be activated and doing that energy clearing and activation for you so that you can open that energy channel of your body. And then going into the next chakra and going through all of them so that we can help you rise into who you are supposed to be, to do the work that you came here to do, to live a life of freedom and meaning and purpose and fulfillment and joy and ecstasy and excitement and bliss and fun because that is your birthright. That's your birthright. Anything less than that is something that we're settling for, and we don't even realize that we're settling for it. And I say that because I lived it. And I didn't realize how much I was settling for in my life. But now, now that I've healed and awakened and I'm so much more connected, I feel alive, really, truly, for the first time in my life. And it's the best feeling in the world. And I want that for you. So keep following me in this space. Let's stay connected and let's rise together.
