A New Approach to Healing Post-Divorce Trauma: Exploring Quantum Body
Today, I’m reviewing Deepak Chopra’s Quantum Body and unpacking how the concept of the quantum body intersects with various healing tools discussed in my blog and podcast. Specifically, I’ll explore how methods like the Law of Attraction, EFT tapping, EMDR, and homeopathy stem from the quantum field in healing post-divorce trauma.
From Pain to Quantum Healing: My Journey Beyond Western Medicine
After many years, I realized that traditional ways of healing were not working for me and this was largely because I had cluster headaches. When I felt insanely happy, I would get relief. When I would do certain functional medicine things, I would get some relief.
Western medicine could provide me with a pill, but that pill created downstream side effects that were destroying other places in my body.
I learned about Bessel van der Kolk’s The Body Keeps the Score and Deepak Chopra’s conversations about how yoga creates a longer, healthier lifespan, and I kept saying to myself, “I know I’m missing a piece.”
When we women hear the word quantum, we think it is physics. We think Star Wars or Star Trek—something that has nothing to do with our day-to-day life.
But I’m here to tell you, it has everything to do with our day-to-day life.
In Quantum Body, Deepak Chopra asks readers: “How do I explain that your reality and the way that you perceive your reality is so much more than your physical body? You have a quantum body and you’re ignoring it.”
Deepak Chopra is a medical doctor and a meditation expert and he says: “The revolution is quantum.”
What do we mean by that?
The healing revolution will bring around massive change in our lifetime and future lifetimes. The revolution is quantum, and being on the front lines of that still requires adventurous thinking, which I have in spades.
The quantum world is alien and strange. Its connection to the human body baffles people. It would be almost impossible to find someone qualified to write about medicine and quantum reality.
But Deepak Chopra writes, “By great good fortune, I found two scientists with exactly those qualifications.” Jack Tusinski is a physics professor, and Brian Furtig is a medical school professor. Together, they have a wealth of insights into a new and exciting field that is quantum biology.
So this is how Deepak Chopra tried to explain to us, as lay people who don’t study quantum physics or mechanics, how to heal ourselves from this level.
What is a Quantum Body
Deepak Chopra’s idea of the Quantum Body is about seeing our body and mind as more than just physical stuff.
You have a physical body, and it has senses—there are things that you can see here, taste, touch, and smell. He connects it to quantum physics, where everything is made up of energy and consciousness. Chopra believes that we’re all part of an interconnected energy field, and by tuning into this, we women can heal and unlock our potential.
So, it is about realizing that we’re connected to the universe in a deeper way, beyond just the physical.
Healing from Within: Understanding the Quantum Roots of Pain
You have your physical body and then you have a quantum body. It is blurry. It interacts with your physical body, and it interacts with the world around you. All of those things have a vibrational state and a vibrational quality to them. And it may be a high vibe, and it may be a low vibe.
When we women experience symptoms like resentment, scarcity, anxiety, panic, depression, and even chronic UTIs, skin problems, constipation, and diarrhea—they are all things that originate in your body.
You and your symptoms originate at a quantum level.
So many things that we experience in life after divorce have been energetically inherited from generations before, originating in our quantum body. And so when you have symptoms, it means that there’s an imbalance at the quantum level.
Healing Beyond the Physical: Aligning with Your Quantum Self
Quantum Body talks about how prescription medication will not create flow or alignment in the quantum field. And so sometimes when we have traumas, we need certain rescue medicines. If I break my leg, I need a medical doctor to fix it. I may need an antibiotic for an infection. My husband needed a hip replacement.
So why did these things happen in the first place? It’s because there was a distortion or negative charge in the quantum field at its origin.
Both the Law of Attraction and Manifesting are two concepts that intersect with the idea that “When I think a thought, it becomes matter at a quantum level.”
When you think a thought, have an intention, or hold a belief that those thoughts and beliefs and emotions can turn into things, it’s not magic, it’s not fairy dust, it’s the quantum field responding to your intention in your body.
Embracing Your Quantum Body: Unlocking Flow and Abundance
When things that you want, believe, and are focused on do not manifest, it is because there is an imbalance or block at the quantum level that then is manifested in your physical body.
Anywhere we women have symptoms, especially love, chronic symptoms originate in the quantum field.
I’m passionate about the Law of Attraction, homeopathy, yoga, EFT tapping, and EMDR because each of these tools fosters flow at the quantum level—some more quickly than others.
The clearer and clearer I get that I can have whatever I want—that I can be a flowing source of giving, receiving, love, and abundance and whatever it is that is magical in this world—I know that that same thing is true for you. I want to provide you with a path to that same awareness.
Now, if you study the Law of Attraction and if you listen to Esther Hicks at all, she will tell you all the time that too often you struggle with these things because you focus way too much on rather than what could be.
The Power of Curiosity: Shifting Your Quantum Reality
If you don’t have money in the bank or you haven’t found the love of your life, I’m here to tell you that you can shift all of those things so dramatically with the quantum body, but you can’t do it with the old ways. There has to be adventurous thinking that Deepak Chopra talks about, where you start to get curious.
Did you know curiosity can give you a dopamine hit? Often, we walk around thinking we already know everything, which blocks the flow of curiosity’s dopamine boost.
Aren’t you curious about why some people heal more easily than others? Why do certain people get positive outcomes and others don’t?
Knowing what’s going on in your quantum body and learning how to shift it doesn’t have to be wildly expensive and it doesn’t have to be difficult.
Choosing Healing: The Power of Free Will in Your Quantum Body
When you know how to move energy. When you understand that the same meridians used in acupuncture are the meridians we use in EFT tapping, which are the same systems that we tap into when selecting a homeopathic remedy or doing EMDR, it’s all connected.
It all rests on the notion that our bodies were designed to heal themselves, but we have free will. No one is going to rescue you, but you.
Many people can guide you, but you have to be the one to choose to heal, to choose creation, or to choose destruction.
We are the sum total of that collection of choices. When I walk around and I see people with heavy bags under their eyes, or I see them struggling with weight, or I see them having skin issues or how angry they are, I know that their thoughts and choices are leaning towards the negative and not towards the positive.
Breaking the Cycle: Healing for You and Future Generations
Much of what you’ve experienced has piled on to what you inherited. I know that I was conceived and born into two bloodlines that were massively traumatized. And so I know I came out of a traumatic heritage and embodied that for a good portion of my life.
But I also know that once I started to learn what was possible, I just took that and ran with it. I took responsibility for it.
I said, “This was not my fault, but it is my responsibility.”
And then became very accountable for any time I had a negative thought, understanding that I could give myself grace for having that negative thought, but that didn’t mean giving myself a pass for having that negative thought.
This is your invitation to consider reading Deepak Chopra’s book Quantum Body. Also, consider that the things we talk about on this blog are bigger than the things that you’re going to read on any other divorce recovery blog.
We talk about the most impactful forms of healing that could ever possibly exist, and that is at a quantum level. And when you heal at a quantum level, and you support your children in healing at a quantum level, then the generations that spring forth from you and your children will be forever changed.
I just can’t think of anything more exciting than understanding that all of the pain that you are feeling right now has a very clear set of solutions and that you do not have to suffer.
And if you have questions about exploring the quantum body, I want you to head to Instagram, follow me, and send me a DM. I would love to chit-chat with you.
