[00:00:00] Welcome to the Bite-Sized Brilliance podcast. I'm your host, Dr. April Darley, and today I wanna talk about different perspectives, especially when it comes to problem-solving. One of my very favorite quotes by Einstein is,_ "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it."_ Now, Einstein probably had his version of what that meant, but I definitely have mine.
When we want to solve a problem, we want that problem to make sense. We're looking for a solution. I teach my clients how to look at the world through a three brain system. Now, we all know we only really have one brain, but imagine if you had three different pieces of your brain that function like they have their own personality, opinions, and motivations.
And when those brains agree, life feels easier. When they don't agree, you have inner [00:01:00] conflicts that can cause anything from procrastination, fears, phobias, sabotages, and there's this feeling that you're not getting the answer that you're looking for. I mention that because when we want to solve a problem, the piece of the brain that we use to do that is our neocortex.
It's right behind the forehead if you are listening to this, and that brain, consider it like our newest brain. It's not our caveman brain, but it's the one that wants answers, the solution, and it's the piece we use to plan, organize, to focus, and make sense of the world. But it's often not the piece we need to solve a problem, and this is incredibly frustrating when you've done all the air quote "right things" and you still aren't getting the answers that you're looking [00:02:00] for.
When that happens to my clients and they come to me to help them solve a problem, they know I'm going to help them see these other levels that are operating beneath the surface. Because if you've tried all of the usual things without resolution, then it's time to try something a little unusual. Now, I don't talk about this a lot, but if you are a former client or you know me personally, you know that I have really diverse interests and a broad range of training.
One of the taglines for my business is that I operate at this intersection between neuroscience, psychology, and woo, and it's because I have training in all of these different areas. So in case you are a new listener, a new watcher, and you're not that familiar with me, I have a background in cellular and molecular biology [00:03:00] before I went to medical school, and I trained in naturopathic medicine.
So we're taught all the things in Eastern and Western medicine. That's acupuncture, homeopathy, herbalism, physical medicine, therapeutic nutrition, and so much more. I have all of that background that I can bring in to problem solve, but also this toolbox of energetic and intuitive medicine. So I will come out of the closet here and out myself a little bit, but I have extended training in flower essence therapy, gemstone and crystal therapy, intuitive therapies like angel communication, mediumship, and working with your own intuitive gifts like clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, and claircognizance.
So when my clients come to me and they need to solve a problem, and they've tried it themselves because you are a [00:04:00] smart cookie, and if the problem were logical, you probably would've solved it already because you've tried so many different things. But I'm going to bring in some of these other tools, not only to help you shift your perspective, because life doesn't just have one problem or one direction.
These things are happening in tandem constantly, and some of the other places or depths or realms that these problems might exist on is the feeling level. We want things to make sense. That's our logical brain. But we want what we want. We want things to turn out the way that we want them. Like, if I do X, then I should receive Y as the result.
This is the brain that's commonly called the subconscious, and this is where we store our creativity, our intuition. It's where we wanna be loved and feel safe belonging. We wanna have [00:05:00] that group and tribe, and we want people to understand us. And then you have the lower level, which is the instinctual survival level, and this is what we need to feel safe, to feel comfortable going into the other levels.
It's where we want things, comfortable, safe. And if you have a logical problem, you want it to make sense. Most likely the actual problem is on the _"I didn't get what I want" _level or _"I don't feel safe in some way"_. And until you can shift your perspective to include these other parts and pieces, it can be really difficult to find the answers that you're looking for, because the answer won't necessarily make sense to your logical brain, but it makes sense to the other brains. And I'm gonna give you an example.
If you were five years [00:06:00] old and you asked your mom or dad to buy you an ice cream and they said, _"No, you've got ice cream at home,"_ or, _"You don't need ice cream_..." That was a very Gen X thing we heard a lot, right? And we don't know why your parents did that. Maybe it's because they didn't have the money for ice cream, or they were trying to look out for your health and you had cavities and you really didn't need ice cream.
We don't know why. But your little child's brain may have heard, _"I'm not worthy of ice cream,"_ or, _"They don't really care about me. They don't care about what I want." _And that event, asking for ice cream and not getting it, may have started a pattern that is still playing out in your adult life of _"I don't get what I want. Things don't tend to work out for me. I try or I ask for what I need, but other people don't care."_
You logically would not connect that to an ice cream incident, but this [00:07:00] is the type of things that I find as origin events or source events. So through my technique, *Rapid Regulation Method,* and the *Figure It Out framework,* I can show you where these little origin events make sense to some piece of you.
And if we think about what I just explained, that emotional brain, that subconscious said, _"I'm not loved because I didn't get what I wanted. My parents didn't understand me._" So it really hits to that wound of not belonging, not feeling understood, and being dismissed. In reality, it could have been about resources for your parents, which is a survival level, but you didn't really know that because you were only five.
But maybe you're a parent now, and you had the same situation happen. One of your kids asked for ice cream, and maybe you didn't have the money for it. So it activates that wound as [00:08:00] well as an adult expression. This is what I mean by finding answers in unusual places if you've done all the usual things.
And sometimes the healing that you need or the way to solve that problem or the ultimate resolution won't be from your thinking brain. You're not gonna think your way out of it necessarily. But it will be about understanding the wound or the pattern that is affecting , the expression in your adult life.
And sometimes to heal that energetic pattern, I will recommend things like flower essences, gemstone therapy. I will look at your astrology because I'm a certified astrologer as well. If you're open to answers coming from different directions, you get more answers. But if you're only open to things being [00:09:00] logically presented to you, it's going to take longer for you to find resolution because you're looking in the usual places.
So you can move faster. Get more speed, accuracy, and precision if you allow all of these pieces to come into play for you, the mind, the body, the spirit, the emotions, the energetic pieces, because you are all of them. You are a mind who has emotions, that lives in a body, and you have this amazing spirit that came from somewhere.
And when you don't address these different parts and pieces, because they all have wants and needs and desires, you may discover that the problems that you have aren't resolving like you think they should. And if you do X but not get Y, it may be for a ton of reasons other than you're doing the wrong thing, because that's [00:10:00] not necessarily true.
I have seen this play out in physical healing, and one of the reasons I became this type of practitioner is because I had a back injury that I could not heal despite doing all the right things. I did medical interventions, Western medical interventions, Eastern medical interventions. I did energy work. I did massage, acupuncture, homeopathy.
I tried a lot of things until one day I learned that emotions can get trapped in the body, and they act like an obstacle to cure. But I didn't know how to get that. I didn't know how to find what that origin event was, so I had to go to a practitioner like me, and that person showed me the origin event.
It showed me the emotion that was trapped in and why I'd locked that [00:11:00] in. What I had decided for myself in that little girl moment was why I couldn't get out of pain as an adult. And once you bring that solution to the logical brain's awareness, it's like a light bulb comes on. _"Oh, that's what's going on?_ _Yeah, we're not gonna do that anymore."_
And it makes it so much easier to clear because when you have stuck patterns, stuck emotions that are trapped in your mind, body, spirit, you literally can be doing all of the right things, but it's not working for you because it's like a crash on the freeway. And you know how a crash will close several lanes.
It maybe doesn't close the entire highway, but three lanes might go down to one lane, so things are just trickling through. Your solutions, your [00:12:00] answers, the things you're doing might be flowing at a trickle until you do something different, which is in these other areas of your existence to clear the crash out of the way, whatever that block is.
Be it a pattern, an energetic influence, a thought, a belief, some vow you made at some point in time, and you're not even remotely the same person or in the same place anymore, but your subconscious is still running that same program. That is clogging up your goodness. It's clogging up your solution, your mind, body, spirit, and we wanna clear that out of the way so that you get what you want, so that when you do X, you do get Y.
Or if you don't get Y, you understand why, and so that you can alter the plan as needed. Maybe you have to do Z to get X, and [00:13:00] then you can get Y. There is a reason. There's always a reason, and It can be so frustrating when you try to find it on your own. And I do believe that we can find things on our own, but at some point, it's very helpful to bring an outside person in to see what you can't see, to show you the things that are invisible to you because you're in it.
Sometimes you don't know that you're sitting in a box because the box has become so familiar to you that you no longer see the shape, and someone else's outside perspective can now point out the parameters and the corners of that box. How it's limiting you, so that it comes to your conscious awareness, and you get to then choose: continue to be in the box or step out of the box. Enlarge the box or just get a new one.
You have options that are [00:14:00] endless as long as you are open-minded, ready, willing, and able to look for your answers in different places. Now, if this has piqued your interest and you would like to learn more about my private one-to-one coaching programs, *Decode *and *Amplify*, that teach you to look at the world from different perspectives, and that includes your rich inner world, and works with every piece of you, mind, body, spirit, emotions, energy, and also shows you a different way to problem solve by rapidly switching perspectives.
It can teach you how to regulate your emotions through this up and down of life, And the *Figure It Out framework* can show you how to get your stuff together and keep your stuff together if you're feeling a little wobbly at any given moment.
You can book a consultation or appointment at aprildarley.com, [00:15:00] and I look forward to hearing what you've got going on in your life and how a different viewpoint can be the exact solution that you need. Sometimes all it takes is that one aha moment, and then you're off. We've cleared the crash, and you are flowing at your preferred speed.
All right, my friend, I am wishing you so much love, success, money, abundance, happiness, all of the things, and I will see you next week. Goodbye.
