Case Study: Felicia Overcomes Severe Eczema
Felicia suffered from eczema and skin infections since childhood. A strict diet and a regime of medications only provided temporary relief. A medical doctor by profession, at the age of 34, she became frustrated with her condition and searched for alternative solutions. Through meditation and breathwork, she was finally able to heal; she no longer takes any medication, and her skin is clear.
Felicia had intermittently suffered from eczema and skin infections since she was three months old. The short-term relief provided by a strict diet and a regime of medications (creams, steroids, antihistamines, antifungals, antibiotics, and so on) never seemed to keep the condition at bay for long.
In 2016, as a 34-year-old medical doctor in the United Kingdom, Felicia found herself becoming increasingly frustrated by the limitations of her profession. After a decade of clinical practice where she’d seen more than 70,000 patients, she began to recognize a similar sense of frustration and disconnect emerging from her patients as well. While seeking more satisfying science-based solutions, she came across my work. Intrigued by possibility and hungry for alternative evidence-based ideas and solutions, Felicia signed up for a weekend workshop.
“The event was life-changing,” she says. “It gave me the tools to reevaluate and update my previous limited beliefs about myself, as well as what our bodies are truly capable of.” The breathing technique was particularly intriguing to her. “I must confess,” she says, “that I remained a little skeptical and held back, not allowing myself to truly surrender to the process.”
During the months that followed, Felicia continued to meditate daily. Her skin improved and she successfully manifested a new relationship in her life. Feeling inspired, she sought new ways to pivot within her medical practice to adopt a more holistic approach. But to her great disappointment, all the United Kingdom medical indemnity bodies refused to insure any nonconventional approaches. Felicia felt trapped, and in December 2016, her eczema and skin infections returned.
Even so, she continued meditating and even signed up for an advanced workshop, creating her Mind Movie in preparation (a powerful tool for manifesting various things you want). She had very clear intentions for her future and included images of healthy skin, as well as a picture of a microphone on a stage with the affirmation “I inspire others by sharing truth fearlessly.”
On the first day of the advanced workshop, we did the breathing technique to activate the pineal gland, and this time, Felicia decided not to hold back and to completely surrender to the process. “I noticed my breathing begin to hasten,” she remembers. “An overwhelming energy started building in my throat. This intensified until my throat felt as if it was going to close up. Fearful, I pulled my body out of this position and returned to my old state of being for the remainder of the meditation.”
The following day, for the last meditation, Felicia was fitted with the brain mapping equipment. She considered what an amazing opportunity it was to experience this new level of information. Feeling trapped in a profession that preaches limitation, she had the thought: What if I could demonstrate to the skeptic, as well as to believers, how unlimited we all are? With this thought, she wanted to use this breath to connect to the unified field—with an elevated emotion of pure freedom and liberation—no matter what happened.
When the meditation began, she opened up to possibility and the unknown. She quickly noticed that her breathing started to change and the overwhelming energy began to build in her throat. Each time the sensations intensified, instead of allowing them to overcome her as she had done the previous day, she stayed with the process. She returned her body to the present moment, ignoring the distraction, and placed all her energy and awareness on connecting to the field, to truth, and to love. Her body was persistently defiant, but after repeatedly overcoming her internal struggles, her body eventually surrendered.
“What I experienced on the other side was an exhilarating explosion of energy in my brain and an instantaneous connection with a loving consciousness within and all around me,” she says. “It was an absolute knowing, a recognition of pure love, and with it came the most overwhelming emotion of joy that I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. It was like coming home. I just experienced this deep oneness. All the while I remained completely aware of all my external senses. I could hear the scientists behind me saying ‘seizure.’” We had some new members on our team of neuroscientists, and they had never seen that kind of energy in the brain before.
As a medical doctor, Felicia might normally have been concerned at that somewhat alarming statement, but she understood that at that moment she was experiencing absolute truth and freedom for the very first time. For a few hours following her meditation, she felt somewhat dazed but physically lighter than before.
From Olivia’s brain scans one can see Felicia’s brain showing the classic changes that we witness when there is high energy in the brain. She starts in normal beta brain waves and then transitions into high-beta brain waves before she hits a high-energy gamma state. The energy in gamma brain waves is 190 standard deviations above normal. The area surrounding the pineal gland as well as the part of the brain that processes strong emotion is highly activated.
During the next few days, Felicia began to experience a sense of fearlessness and playfulness emerging from within her. She also experienced a string of synchronicities—including manifesting the scene from her Mind Movie where she was speaking into a microphone onstage. In fact, without knowing that scene had been in her Mind Movie, I pulled her onstage to share her experience. It was only once she returned home that she noticed her eczema was no longer bothering her.
“I looked at my skin, and all the rashes that had been there just a few days prior had completely resolved,” she reported. Her eczema is gone.
To this day Felicia takes no further medication and her skin is clear. Her life continues to unfold in new, exciting, and surprising ways.
“I am so grateful for the realization that we are all unlimited,” she told me. “Mark my words, if a once jaded, intensely analytical doctor can do it, absolutely anyone can.”
