I am not picking on John Mayer or his physical symptoms. I want to share what I suspect is locked up and creating his throat problems. As a coach, I show people how to release backed up energy that is preventing a desired success or outcome. If you read the article and listen to the deep level of embarrassment, and regret in John’s stage speech, there are clues to why the issue is hanging on. Read the article.
When we have regret, embarrassment and shame, those STRONG, POWERFUL emotions often times set us up for sabotage, and punishment on a subconscious level. Nobody would consciously create a block to success, BUT the subconscious is designed to protect us…even from ourselves. When you do something that is perceived wrong with severe consequences, there is a part of you that knows you don’t want to do that again. Symptoms start energetically first, before things manifest physically. John’s body is preventing him from saying something wrong, causing him to “shut up” (the vocal cord issues). This was also not the only regretful blunder he made when expressing himself so his body turned up the severity!
Recently, when his problems returned there was another update on his condition. Read current updates on John’s vocal problems.
The article states “Mayer apologized profusely to his fans, writing: “I’m pretty emotionally burnt out at the moment, but please know how hard I tried to resolve this and how disappointed I am that I can’t perform this record yet. I’m completely bummed, especially for all of you who started making plans to see a show. ”
Guilt seeks punishment. This is not logical or conscious, but it happens often. When we release the guilt, many times the symptoms will also release. It’s amazing to watch that transformation, but very uncomfortable to live with it. Is there help? I believe there is a solution. John could hire a tapping coach like me and I suspect, he could release that voice problem . I would say to John, have you ever tried tapping?
