Energy Healing for Ulcerative Colitis: A Client Case Study | Ep. #47

Can energy healing help with ulcerative colitis?

In this episode of The Place To Be Free Podcast, Martha Blessing explores that question through a client case study involving nearly two decades of ulcerative colitis, digestive inflammation, elevated liver enzymes, and unresolved emotional pain.

Using her experience as a medical intuitive and energy healer, Martha explores the connection she observed between the client’s physical symptoms and deeply held patterns of anger, grief, shame, self-worth, and family pain. She shares how addressing these underlying emotional and energetic patterns became part of his healing process while he continued to work with his physicians and monitor his health.

The Client Case: Ulcerative Colitis, Inflammation, and Emotional Pain

In this episode, Martha shares the story of a client who had been living with ulcerative colitis for nearly two decades.

Although he was largely asymptomatic and was not taking medication for his ulcerative colitis, medical testing continued to show inflammation in his colon. He was also being monitored for elevated liver enzymes.

After a colonoscopy, his gastroenterologist told him that there was significant inflammation and recommended removing his colon. No cancer was found.

The possibility of major surgery created tremendous fear for the client.

This was the point at which he began looking beyond the physical symptoms and asking a deeper question:

What else might be happening beneath the surface of this condition?

The Emotional and Energetic Patterns Behind the Symptoms

During Martha’s initial conversation with the client, she received intuitive information that led her to ask about his relationship with his father.

The relationship was difficult and had been difficult for many years.

The client described his father as narcissistic and explained that the family had essentially accepted the relationship as it was. But beneath that acceptance was years of hurt, anger, grief, disappointment, and a longing to feel loved and accepted by his father.

Martha recognized a deeper emotional pattern.

The client was carrying the pain of a wounded child who still wanted his father’s love and acceptance.

Although he was an adult with a wife and children of his own, the unresolved relationship continued to affect him emotionally.

In Martha’s work, this is an important part of understanding chronic symptoms: the body does not exist separately from a person’s emotional and energetic experience.

When emotional patterns remain unresolved, people can continue to experience the effects of those patterns long after the original experiences occurred.

Healing the Relationship With His Father

The healing process involved more than simply talking about the relationship.

Martha helped the client identify what he actually wanted from his father and encouraged him to communicate those desires directly.

He began expressing feelings he had never fully expressed before.

He wanted his father to be involved with his family. He wanted a loving relationship. He wanted his father to make an effort to see him and his children. He wanted to experience connection rather than continuing the same pattern of hurt and disappointment.

This required him to move out of fear and into greater personal empowerment.

Instead of continuing to accept the relationship exactly as it was, he began asking for what he wanted.

Over the following weeks, conversations between the client and his father began to change.

The client shared some of their communications with Martha during their sessions, and she witnessed a significant shift in the emotional quality of their relationship.

There was more vulnerability.

There was more honesty.

There was more compassion.

And there was a gradual opening toward the relationship he had wanted for years.

Energy Healing and the Body

Martha’s approach to healing looks beyond the physical symptom to explore the emotional and energetic patterns surrounding it.

In this case, the client had carried decades of anger, grief, disappointment, shame, and feelings of being unwanted or unworthy.

As those patterns began to be addressed, the client also reported changes in his physical health.

His liver enzymes improved during the period they were working together.

His emotional relationship with his father also began to change.

For Martha, the significance of the case was not simply the laboratory result. It was the larger process of bringing unresolved emotional patterns into awareness and giving the client a way to respond differently.

The client became more empowered in his relationship with his father and more willing to express what he genuinely wanted.

Energy Healing and Medical Care Can Work Together

Energy healing does not require a person to reject medical care.

In this case, the client continued to have medical follow-up and monitoring while working with Martha.

Martha encouraged him to communicate with his physicians, monitor his laboratory results, and make informed decisions about his care.

Healing can involve many layers.

Medical care may address the physical condition.

Energy healing may provide another way of exploring the emotional, energetic, and spiritual dimensions of a person’s experience.

The goal is not to create an either-or choice.

It is to become more conscious, more empowered, and more engaged in your own healing process.

What This Case Study Teaches About Healing

One of the most important lessons from this case is that chronic symptoms can sometimes bring deeper patterns to the surface.

The client’s physical experience became an invitation to look at what had been carried emotionally for decades.

He had the opportunity to address a relationship that had remained unresolved since childhood.

He learned to express his feelings.

He learned to ask for what he wanted.

He learned to advocate for himself.

And he began to experience a different relationship with his father.

This is the deeper level of healing Martha explores with her clients.

Rather than focusing only on the symptom, she looks at the whole person—the emotional patterns, energetic patterns, beliefs, relationships, and experiences that may be contributing to a person feeling stuck.

Your body is not your enemy.

Your symptoms are not the whole story.

There may be a deeper pattern asking to be seen, understood, and released.

If you are struggling with chronic symptoms or feel that you have tried everything without getting to the deeper issue, Martha’s work offers another place to look.

Frequently Asked Questions About Energy Healing and Ulcerative Colitis

Can energy healing help with ulcerative colitis?

Energy healing is a complementary approach that explores the energetic, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of a person’s experience. In this episode, Martha shares one client’s case study and the changes she obse

Can emotional stress affect ulcerative colitis symptoms?

Ulcerative colitis is a complex inflammatory condition, and emotional stress can be part of a person’s overall health experience. Martha’s approach explores the emotional and energetic patterns that may accompany chronic symptoms, including grief, anger, shame, fear, and unresolved relationship dynamics.

What does an energy healing session for digestive issues involve?

Martha’s work looks beyond the symptom itself to explore the emotional, energetic, and consciousness-level patterns surrounding the person’s experience. The goal is to identify and work with patterns that may be contributing to a sense of being stuck, rather than focusing only on symptom management.

Can energy healing be done remotely for digestive or chronic health concerns?

Yes. Martha works with clients through distance healing sessions, allowing the healing work to take place remotely. The focus remains on the individual, the patterns surrounding their symptoms, and the energetic and emotional dimensions of their experience.

01:09
Martha Blessing
If you’re seeking empowerment, if you’re ready for a life changing shift, you’re in the right place.

01:16
Martha Blessing
Welcome to the podcast. I’m Martha Blessing. And welcome back to the podcast. I’m talking today about giving you some insights and information about how we store issues in our tissues that are causing illness, chronic illness. And when things finally come to a head, when things finally come to the place where you have to maybe do something about it, is when the symptoms become unbearable, or when a doctor tells you that you have to do something that you don’t really want to do. And so today I’m talking about that in a case study with a client who had ulcerative colitis and elevated liver enzymes. And by the time he came to me, he had ulcerative colitis for almost two decades. He was pretty much asymptomatic. He said to me that it didn’t really bother him very much. He had not been taking any medications.

02:21
Martha Blessing
Doctors, he had several specialists, and they would check him every six months or so and run tests and keep an eye on things. So he had gone to a GI doctor and he had not taken the medications because it didn’t, you know, he wasn’t really feeling too much of a problem in his digestion. It wasn’t interfering with his activities of daily living. Right. And he also had elevated liver enzymes. So he had a blood specialist and a doctor who kept an eye on his liver enzymes. So by the time he came to me, he had gone. He was really in a panic and he was really in fear because his GI doctor told him they did a colonoscopy and I, they removed a few polyps.

03:08
Martha Blessing
He still had a lot of inflammation in his colon, and they told him that they wanted to remove his colon. And it was such an interesting conversation that I had with this gentleman. He became a client, and we worked together addressing these core wound and these issues. And so when I first talked with him on the phone, I could tell, being a medical medium and medical intuitive, I immediately got insights and messages, and I could see and I could feel that the anger that was in his liver. And the message I got was, ask him about his dad. So I did, and I said, you know, tell me about your relationship with your dad. And he quickly told me that his dad was a narcissist. Now, this is a grown man.

03:59
Martha Blessing
He’s got a wife, and he’s got grown children, and he still talks to his father. His father is still in his life. But it was a very challenging and somewhat dysfunctional relationship. And so he said to me, well, you know, he’s basically a narcissist, but we all just accept that’s the way he is. And that is what’s been creating this symptomatology. That’s why it’s gone on and on. But he’s never addressed the mental, emotional and spiritual. And he said, well, we pretty much just accept how it is. Well, he became a client, and we worked on this and truth. And the fact of the matter is that he was holding so much hurt and so much anger.

04:40
Martha Blessing
You know, when we would talk in our sessions, I could just feel and I could see the little boy, like, the little wounded boy, the wounded child that just wanted to be loved and accepted by his father. And so now he’s still holding this resentment, but it’s also a deep grief and a deep sadness, right? So the energy can’t. The spiritual energy, God force, life force and intelligent substance. The body is already healthy, heal and whole. But when we’re holding this grief in our heart, the energy can’t get through, right? And so the solar plexus, the colonization, our self worth and self esteem and self respect.

05:24
Martha Blessing
So even though he has a loving wife and family and kids, he’s still in hurt and pain, because at this point, he wishes that his dad, like, accepted him and accepted his family and made an effort to love his children, to be a grandfather to his children. And all of their interactions that he would tell me about were the father was pretty passive aggressive. Like, he’d come into town or he’d come close to being in town and he would go visit the brother, but he wouldn’t make an effort to go see him. So part of what we worked through during this time was him learning to actually express his feelings to his father. And I said, because what is it you really want? Like, what is your end game here? I see the little boy.

06:21
Martha Blessing
I see the child who’s wounded and hurt and feels unworthy and unlovable and realize and recognize that with a narcissist. They are in their own level of pain. They are in their own separation from God and source, from their true, sovereign self. So he was wounded, likely as a child, and he can’t do anything but repeat what he believes is the truth. And so over the course of several weeks, he would reach out to his dad, and they would get into this kind of passive aggressive texting. And his belief, my client’s belief, was, see, that’s how it is. That’s what he’s always done. That’s just who he is. But each time we would have, you know, our weekly sessions, he would talk about what was going on, and then he would have, you know, tears would start to well up in him.

07:25
Martha Blessing
The grief, the sadness would come out. I said, have you ever told your dad how you feel? Have you ever expressed your true feelings? He said, not really. And so that was part of the healing. That was part of the path. He. They went back and forth in texts, but he started to let his dad know. And it turned out it was so profound, and it was so healing, and it was so much joy to witness for both of them, for all of them, because they kept doing this. And it’s so common in the family dynamics, especially with a narcissist and with siblings, right? He said, she said, and narcissists will ghost you, and they will gaslight, and they will play you up against each other, you know, siblings and whatnot.

08:16
Martha Blessing
And so he was really hurt because his dad was in town from Florida, was close by. This gentleman lived in Pennsylvania. His brother was in New York, and dad was going to be in New York. And he didn’t make any effort to come see my clients and his family. So very last minute that he was going to be in town, he reached out, did not give enough time for this gentleman to prepare to go see him. So again, he felt left out. He felt played. He felt less than. So this is why year after year after year, it’s literally, I could see this, like, punch in the gut, right? Punch in the self worth, self esteem, because he’s internalizing it, and he’s saying, well, that’s just how my dad is.

09:03
Martha Blessing
But the truth is, what he’s feeling and experiencing is, why can’t dad just love us? Why can’t he reach out to us? Why doesn’t he want to be with us? Why doesn’t he want to be a grandfather to my kids? Why can’t we be a family together in joy and happiness? So they began the process. I helped him reach out to his father. I helped him with some of the things to say because it can be really challenging with a narcissist, and it’s exceptionally challenging with texting. When we got together, I said, well, did you reach out to him? Yes. What was the outcome? Oh, I haven’t heard back. Well, it’s a problem with texting, right? These days, people, that’s a really simple way to ghost somebody. And you know the cancel culture, right? Not answering a text.

09:52
Martha Blessing
So I said, I want you to go ahead and text him again, but I want you to text him that you would like to have a conversation with him. You would like to talk to him. But these are not the sorts of things like, you’re healing generations of emotional pain. His dad is wounded. He’s being a narcissistic behavior. His dad is wounded. And it’s in the family dynamics of multiple generations. This is not stuff that you heal in a text. Promise me that you’ll reach out to people and loved ones and you’re trying to heal something. Yes, you can say in a text, but I’d like to have a conversation with you. There needs to be a conversation. You have to have the courage to ask for that you will, only if you don’t ask. You can’t get it.

10:40
Martha Blessing
So you have to be willing to step out of your fear and your wound. I’d like to have a conversation. So he did, and it took him several days, took the father several days to respond, and he finally said, okay. And I said, you need to direct this. You need to take your power back. You need to ask for what it is that you want so that you can heal. Forget about doing this for your dad. You’re doing this for you. They want to remove your colon.

11:10
Martha Blessing
Hey there, Martha.

11:11
Speaker 3
Blessing here.

11:12
Martha Blessing
And I want to just give you.

11:14
Speaker 3
A quick invite to participate and be fully empowered in your own self healing. One of the most critical points that anyone needs to learn if they want to be fully empowered to remove and release their symptoms energetic level, is to switch their mindset and switch their beliefs and their programming. And so one of the ways that we do that, I teach this in depth in my healed unlimited program, but I also have version that you can go to right now, today. To shift and become the person who can move towards their symptoms and release them and remove them. And when you do that, instead of being a victim and being in fear and anxiety and confusion about the symptoms, you actually will learn exactly how to move towards them and remove the energy that’s stuck and blocked in your tissues for yourself.

12:11
Speaker 3
You can find this information and this mentoring course over@marthablessing.com unlock. And I look forward to seeing you over there and helping you to stop.

12:24
Martha Blessing
Putting band aids on your symptoms, but.

12:26
Speaker 3
To truly, fully, deeply heal.

12:31
Martha Blessing
What’s so critically important here is that this gentleman did not have colon cancer in the colonoscopy. They removed a few polyps, and the GI doctor said, well, we didn’t see any cancer, but what we’re always the most concerned about is that we might miss something. Again, this is back to, you’ve heard me talk about CYA medicine. Cover your ass medicine. The doctors don’t want to be sued when they see somebody like this who’s had the ulcerative colitis, who’s got the elevated liver enzymes and all of these things, and he has no symptoms. They want to remove the colon because they’re afraid they miss something and they don’t want him to come back and sue. And so, like, it just blows my mind when I say that out loud and I think about it, right? Oh, yeah, let’s just remove your colon.

13:23
Martha Blessing
What’s your colonial life? He was like, I don’t want to do that. I don’t believe that I need to do that. That was where the power was for this gentleman and this client was, he said to me, I don’t believe that I need to remove my colon. I don’t believe that I’m that sick. I would have them take my colon out. And the specialist who monitors his liver enzymes, he actually, during the time that we worked together, he had a follow up with the doctor, and the liver enzymes were actually improved. They were still a little bit elevated. They were on the very high end, over normal, but they had gone down, they had improved. And the doctor still kept saying, like he’s looking, staring right in the face. He has no explanation.

14:13
Martha Blessing
He has no good, valid explanation for why the liver enzymes have improved. Cause he wasn’t taking the medicine. The doctor, again, is in fear and telling him that he has to take these medications or he might have to get a surgery, a stint put in. But here’s what happens. The liver, energetically is what stores anger. That was the very first thing I saw and could feel and got the message about when I was talking to him on the phone, I could see and feel that all of his anger towards his dad was settled into his liver, because that’s where we store anger, inflammation.

14:53
Martha Blessing
And so now that he was releasing this, now that he was making traction and making progress and healing his emotional relationship with his father, years and years, generations of pain and grief and feeling unloved, the liver is starting to heal and release that toxicity, release that frequency and that vibration back into self love. And so it was improving, but because it was just a little bit in the high range, the doctor still did not want to get sued for not making him take the medicine because he couldn’t follow any science. There was no science for him to follow. The only science was, it’s still elevated. Not that it was improving, is still elevated. So this is where courage comes in your healing process, in your healing journey.

15:50
Martha Blessing
And the decision, like I said, you’ve got to make a decision that your body knows how to be healthy. Now, for some people, that may involve taking the medications, you may have been a person that said, I’m going to work on all of this healing, but I’m going to take the medication. Or you might say to the doctor, look, I’m doing some alternative things. Look at my liver enzymes. Yes, I see that they are still elevated, but they improved. I’d like to continue on this path. This is where you have to be courageous and empowered to tell your physician what the outcome is that you want. So, so very important. Tell them. You look and you say, this gentleman said, you know, I’m working on doing some alternative. You don’t have to go big deep into it. I’m working on alternative.

16:43
Martha Blessing
It looks like it worked. Excuse me, doctor, but it looks like it worked. I’d like to continue on this path, and I’d like to check my enzymes in a month or two months or three months, and then see what he says. A month, two months, three months, right. If he feels more comfortable when you have this language and you can talk to a physician this way and say, look, I’m gonna keep doing this, I’d like to do this in a month. Now, there’s some insurance companies that’ll be like, oh, no, you can’t have that lab drawn again. Well, then pay for it out of pocket. Blood work’s not that expensive. You can go to own your own labs and get almost any lab work done for yourself, okay? And it’s not that expensive.

17:21
Martha Blessing
It’s truly not like I can go get a blood glucose and some other labs done for like, $12. Okay? Work with your doctor. Tell him what you’re doing. Tell him that he needs to be an advocate for you, not be worrying about whether or not he’s going to get sued or he’s going to miss something. You’re working together in conjunction for your healing, for your well being. So his liver enzymes continued to improve. He started to heal the relationship, the communication with his father. I will say this, he was wounded enough, and I have no judgment in using that word, wounded enough. But it just. The repetitive pattern of the disempowerment in the narcissistic personality had gone on for so long that he did need some guidance and some help and some coaching and some mentoring on how to deal with his dad.

18:12
Martha Blessing
Because the wound was so big, it was so open and gaping, right? You know my nursing terminology, we always pack the wound, close the wound. This wound was just open. And so it was hard for him to see past it and through it and how to come to the process of healing with his dad from an unwounded place, because the wound was still fresh, still there. Right? He was in the belief system that his dad didn’t love him. And some of the most beautiful healing came out of it from his dad. Like, we’d get on each week and he would read me the texts that he was getting from his dad that were genuinely sincere, genuinely compassionate and loving. And so this process, now, how long does it take? We don’t know.

19:08
Martha Blessing
It could be almost spontaneous, as long as a client didn’t go back into this state of being disempowered. And he advocated for being vulnerable and sharing his emotions and sharing his desire with his dad for what it is that he wanted. And saying, I’d like for you to be a grandparent. I’d like for you to be a grandfather. I’d like for us to be able to come down to Florida and visit. I’d like for you to be in trust. I’d like for us both to be in trust and loving each other and speaking authentically and truthfully about our feelings and heal this crap. Heal this wound. And so that’s exactly what they did. And he went back. He followed up with his doctors.

19:53
Martha Blessing
He took the medications for the short term, but then he felt empowered to not have to continue to take the medications and that he would continue on this journey. Right? You do have to keep going. You have to have the courage. It’s constant space, repetition. The pattern of two decades was entrenched in his gut, in his colon, right? We know that our cells generate and regrow all the time, every day, right? Like our colon, when you cut yourself, it creates a scab. It heals. Maybe you have to have stitches to close it up, but it heals on its own, right? You stitch it up, everything in your body, that intelligent substance, wisdom, God, life force, knows to go to that wound, create a scab, and from the inside out, the layers fill in and it heals. The body knows how to make new cells.

20:48
Martha Blessing
It sends the plasma, it sends everything to create the healing. Got to God to focus on this and remember this and draw this up into your experience and stop being influenced by the media, okay? And so the fact that the body knows how to heal that, given the same opportunity, when we remove the offending beliefs and the offending patterns that are creating the stuck energy, the inflammation. Ulcerative, literally. His father was eating away at him for over two decades. That’s literally ulcerative. It’s eating away at you. Ulcerative colitis, inflammation itis is inflammation of anything. So it’s literally a burning inflammation. And that is exactly the emotion that he was carrying all these years around. His self worth, self esteem, unlovable, carrying this deep burden in his solar plexus. And the motion that we hold there is shame. Do you see this picture?

21:58
Martha Blessing
Do you see this pattern? There’s no amount of medication going to heal that. It’ll put out the fire, but it will not heal it. There’s no amount of fiber. There’s no amount of broccoli. You start taking a proton pump inhibitor, you start taking the prilosex and the xantax and all of these things.

22:18
Martha Blessing
You’re literally killing yourself even further because.

22:21
Martha Blessing
You are shutting off the digestive enzymes and acids that you need to break down your food. It is a vicious pill and cycle, when all the while, it’s because we are feeding ourselves shame. The energy of shame is constricting the normal function and processes of your body. This is how we want to look at the spiritual healing for anything. When we move towards the problem, instead of trying to annihilate it, we get the lessons. You’ll hear me say time and time again, everything is happening for you. This happened for him to the extent where he finally looked for help. Well, his wife did the searching and reached out to me. It was happening for him.

23:13
Martha Blessing
He finally got to heal at 50 some years old, finally got to heal his relationship with his dad, and in that process, healed his colon and healed his liver. If you’re struggling with symptoms, please reach out to me.
