Key Discussion Points & Insights

Defining Energy Work and Its Value

• Energy Field Explained
  • Joyce introduces the idea that everyone has an energy field (or aura) around them, interconnected with their chakras—“organs on the outside of the body.”
  • Negative thoughts and interactions with others can “dirty” this field, impacting well-being.
• Energy Hygiene Analogy
  • "If you have a dirty energy field, it's like you're looking out dirty windows...If I can clean your windows off, then everything's just going to be clear.” — Joyce Brinton [00:31, 04:24, 04:34]

Real-Life Case Studies in Energy Healing

• Physical Healing Example
  • Joyce recounts healing a swollen ankle after an insect bite with immediate energy work and her husband’s stingray encounter:
    • “I was just literally sweeping the energy of that sting off... After 10 minutes, he was like, okay, I’m good.” — Joyce Brinton [05:54]
  • Sweeping the energy is likened to wiping away physical grime.
• Emotional Healing through Muscle Testing
  • For negative mindsets, Joyce uses muscle testing to reveal subconscious resistance to change:
    • “Your arm remains strong to truth. It goes weak to not truth. Your body knows what's truth.” — Joyce Brinton [00:51, 06:53]
  • She discusses how individuals often have conflicting inner parts, some of which want to stay stuck due to secondary payoffs.

Principles & Pillars for Shifting from Negative to Positive

• Forgiveness Work
  • “Life happens and there's pain... but the second circle I teach them is that's what we say about it. So we create our own suffering.” — Joyce Brinton [08:02]
  • Suffering is seen as a product of our interpretation of events, not the events themselves.
• Action & Inspiration
  • Joyce advocates for saying “yes” to inspiration as a key to fulfillment and avoiding illness.
    • “I'm hoping that what they'll see is just that answering yes to stuff that inspires you will take them there...I have learned to not say no.” — Joyce Brinton [16:37, 16:55]

Energy in Everyday Life & Business

• Protecting and Cleaning Your Energy
  • Everyday signs of energetic imbalance include sudden mood drops or physical discomfort after certain interactions.
  • Techniques for non-professionals:
    • Cord-cutting: "Take your hand like a sword and just cut it. We never can cut cords of love, but we can cut cords of negativity.” — Joyce Brinton [12:35]
    • Empaths are cautioned not to chronically absorb others’ pain: “An empath is one who takes on everybody's pain... You don't have to be.” [11:46, 12:04]
• Professional Boundaries & Reading Energy
  • Joyce only tunes into others' energy fields with permission/hiring: “I never do it unless they hire me.” — Joyce Brinton [10:14]
  • Rudy relates through his use of a “forcefield” to rebuff negativity:
    • “I always describe myself like I put myself in this force field... and they just bounce off.” — Rudy Mawer [10:24]
• Leadership and Self-Regulation
  • The importance of keeping one's own field clean as opposed to controlling others.
  • Recommendations: cord-cutting after negative conversations, intentionally managing what energy enters your life and workspace.

The Mind-Body Connection

• Beliefs, Identity, and Well-being
  • Joyce challenges the “victim” mentality, suggesting that identification with illness or struggle reinforces those experiences.
    • “People are victims, but they buy into that.” — Joyce Brinton [14:42]
  • Body responds to our beliefs and narratives:
    • “What you tell your bodies, it will adopt. So if you tell yourself you’re going to get fat from eating chocolate cake, well then the body’s going to adopt that.” — Joyce Brinton [16:02]

Transcript

[Joyce Brinton]

Clients will come in and see me who are stuck with either an ailment or emotional stuff. And so I use energy work to clear out their energy field. Because your energy field gets dirty all the time.

[Narrator]

Joyce Brinton is a compassionate healer, intuitive teacher, and CEO of your Healing Evolution. Known as the Energy Lady. She helps people release trauma and restore balance through forgiveness Work, energy cleansing and muscle testing.

[Rudy]

A lot of people, I don't think, appreciate energy or understand it. How do you get people to realize and understand it if they don't?

[Joyce Brinton]

If you have a dirty energy field, it's like you're looking at dirty windows. So if your windows are dirty and muddy, that's what you are. You're going to see everything. If I can clean your windows off, then everything's just going to be clear.

[Rudy]

Someone just has a negative outlook on life. They're very pessimistic. They aren't in a great place in their life. They don't like their job. The relationship is not great. So how do you help people like that?

[Joyce Brinton]

Well, typically, people who have a lot of negative thought patterns going on, I use muscle testing because muscle testing, if they're in person, I push on their arm. Your arm remains strong to truth. It goes weak. To not truth. Your body knows what's true.

[Rudy]

It spans the globe like a super high cold Internet Elvis Preston.

[Podcast Intro Announcer]

Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone. It's not over until I win. The Living youg Legacy podcast Last for those who live to leave a legacy that's extraordinary. The impossible has. Oh, that is sensational. Jordan, open Chicago with the lead. You said Paul is the fastest man on the planet. You can live your dream.

[Rudy]

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Legacy Makers. Joining me today is Joyce and she helps people get unstuck. She helps people whether they're in emotional or physical pain and maybe not quite how you think. So I'm excited to dive into her world and what she does. Welcome to the show.

[Joyce Brinton]

Thanks, Rudy. Thanks for having me.

[Rudy]

Of course. So. So tell everyone what you do and how you help people. You know, I teased it a little. Maybe not in the physical, the. The most obvious way, like medication or something. Right. But how do you help people?

[Joyce Brinton]

Typically, clients will come in and see me who are stuck with either an element or emotional stuff.

[Rudy]

Yeah.

[Joyce Brinton]

And they can't move through it. And so I use energy work to clear out their energy field. Because your energy field gets dirty all the time. Intermingles with other people. Our negative thoughts create negative energy.

[Rudy]

Sure.

[Joyce Brinton]

And then I help them with muscle Testing also.

[Rudy]

Okay, so let's start at the basics. If someone doesn't have a clue what energy works is, right. They imagine energy as maybe the electric plug. How do you define it and describe it to someone that doesn't understand it?

[Joyce Brinton]

Okay, so energy is, we have an energy field that swims around us, okay. And it's our aura and we have energy in our chakras. And chakras are like organs on the outside of the body.

[Rudy]

Okay.

[Joyce Brinton]

And so those chakras get dirty. They don't really get stuck, they just get really dirty. Because when you're around other people or you have a lot of negative thoughts, your chakras are gonna.

[Rudy]

So just a bit like your clothes, Right. You put them in the washing machine every day.

[Joyce Brinton]

Yeah.

[Rudy]

Right. So, but a lot of people, I don't think appreciate energy or understand it or a lot of people, you know, call it woo woo and not real. Right. So how do you do, how do you define it more for people or how do you get people to realize and understand it if they don't?

[Joyce Brinton]

Typically people, I'm like the last resort.

[Rudy]

Okay.

[Joyce Brinton]

People go to doctors, they go to, go to other healers and stuff. And I'm like, well, let's try that because nothing else is working.

[Rudy]

Okay.

[Joyce Brinton]

So I'm usually people's last resort.

[Rudy]

So. So people are coming to you at a point of maybe almost desperation because regular methods have failed.

[Joyce Brinton]

Yeah.

[Rudy]

So I guess that makes your job a little easier because they're more open. Right, right, right. But what about everyone listening? I would imagine everyone listen. Half, maybe half the people already understand this and do this and appreciate it. Half don't and don't know if it's real. How can you help persuade someone or help someone understand that's open to it, but doesn't understand if it's really real or how they can improve it or quantify it?

[Joyce Brinton]

Well, typically tell people that if you have a dirty energy field, it's like you're looking out dirty windows.

[Rudy]

Okay.

[Joyce Brinton]

So if your windows are dirty and muddy, that's what you are. You're going to see everything.

[Rudy]

I like that. Yeah.

[Joyce Brinton]

So if, if I can clean your windows off, then everything's just going to be clear.

[Rudy]

Yeah. Maybe some good examples would be great for people to understand. Well, what are some examples of how that can be seen in a real life setting?

[Joyce Brinton]

Yeah. Well, and one example is just myself this morning. I walked around town yesterday and I think I got bit by something on the beach.

[Rudy]

Okay. Yeah.

[Joyce Brinton]

And I didn't realize it, but my Ankle was hurting, but when I got back to the room, my ankle was like three times out swollen. Right. So I just did energy work on it. And this morning it's just down to like, almost nothing.

[Rudy]

Okay, great.

[Joyce Brinton]

So I do tell people that if you clean off the energy right away after an injury has happened, then it can heal because it hasn't set in the body. So if things are created out here first and then they set in the body, then it takes a little longer to heal them. Sometimes it's a one and done thing, but typically it's something they've had for years. Then we have to work on that a little longer.

[Rudy]

So let's use the ankle thing. Right. Or say I got bit. Right. Or something on my arm or leg. How do I clean? It's not like cleaning a wound, right? You get some alcohol.

[Joyce Brinton]

You gotta take my class to find out.

[Rudy]

But just summarize the process.

[Joyce Brinton]

I sweep it. I sweep the energy off. It's literally like I'm cleaning the windows.

[Rudy]

Okay, got it. Yeah.

[Joyce Brinton]

And my husband was stung down in Mexico a couple years ago by a stingray. He just came up and stung him on the knee. You know, he just doubled up in pain. He's like, get me out of the water. It's level 10. So we pull him out of the water and he's like, what are we gonna do? And I said, we're gonna do what I do. I'm gonna clean it off. So I was just literally sweeping the energy of that sting off. And he was like screaming, going, it hurts, it hurts. You know? And. But after 10 minutes, he was like, okay, I'm good.

[Rudy]

Yeah, I've been stung by a stingray. And it didn't take 10 minutes to recover. I think I had my leg in a hot water for like two days because that's the only way the pain goes away into this hot water. So that's. That's one physical example, which I love. Let's talk about a mental, emotional one now then. Say someone just has a negative outlook on life. They're very pessimistic. They don't, you know, maybe they. They aren't in a great place in their life. They don't like their job, the relationship. Not great. Right. Which is a big percent of the population, I feel, in some degree. So how do you help people like that?

[Joyce Brinton]

Well, typically people who have a lot of negative thought patterns going on, um, I use muscle testing because Muscle testing, if they're in person, I push on their arm. Your arm remains strong. To truth. It goes Weak to not truth. Your body knows what's truth. So when I ask them yes and no questions like, do you want to get unstuck? And they say, yes, of course. And it goes weak. It's like, no, no. You got parts of you who doesn't want to be unstuck, you know, and do you want to heal? It's like, of course yes. It's like, no. Then, okay, let's deal with the parts of you that. And I say we're made up of thousands of parts. So the parts of you that don't want to get unstuck or afraid to get unstuck and afraid to heal, because there's a lot of payoffs for that.

[Rudy]

Got it. So, and then. So that's like the kind of the initiation or like, you know, maybe a doctor testing your blood pressure. Right. That's the version there. But then if someone then wants to work from a negative state to a positive state, and I know it's like say, asking someone how do they lose weight? There's lots of little things over time. It's not just that, but what are the main pillars to do that? Right.

[Joyce Brinton]

I use forgiveness because a lot of people. First time session, I'll draw two circles on a piece of paper. First circle is life happens and there's pain in life. You know, people die, people get in, accidents get divorced. But the second circle I teach them is that's what we say about it. So we create our own suffering. All that's going on with us and in our energy field is 100, our creation.

[Rudy]

So, so, so this energy work that you're doing, it's. By the sounds of it, it's not just, you know, the. Your system, but some of it is, is. Is mental.

[Joyce Brinton]

Yes.

[Rudy]

Right. It's perception. It's how people are looking at reality and situational.

[Joyce Brinton]

Because that definitely goes along with it.

[Rudy]

Yeah. So it splits it. Okay, next question then. So someone's interested in trying this, right? You know, or even learning more about it. Let's start there. Maybe they can't quite fly in to see you just yet, but they want to learn more about this topic because I think in the last 10, 15 years, it's become more mainstream. Right. What is there a staple book, a TV show that kind of helps people understand this as a core concept?

[Joyce Brinton]

Know about a TV show, but Power vs. Force is a book. I can't remember his name, but he talked about muscle testing.

[Rudy]

Okay.

[Joyce Brinton]

Chronic healing is, is a form of, of energy healing work that's similar to mine. And so they could research that. I do have a YouTube channel I put videos on every week and I talk about stuff I do.

[Rudy]

Great. Next question. I meet a lot of people that are, you know, really into the energy side and even practice it as a profession. And I almost see them kind of like. Kind of like psychologists, right? When they meet someone, they read someone and they look, pick up personality, body languages, speech patterns, head movements, hand movements. And I see the same resemblance for people. You know, they'll come in, they'll say, oh, Rudy, you have great energy or whatever, right? How do you. How does that work? Right. How do you look at people and you can tell instantly or I don't.

[Joyce Brinton]

Ever do it unless they hire me.

[Rudy]

Got it. But you can.

[Joyce Brinton]

Yeah, I can.

[Rudy]

Yeah. And feel and, you know, I can.

[Joyce Brinton]

Walk in a room and I can feel really yucky energy from somebody.

[Rudy]

Yeah.

[Joyce Brinton]

I walk away.

[Rudy]

Well, that's what I wanted to ask. Right. So, you know, because I. Because I wouldn't say I'm like by any means understand or super into the energy side, but naturally, I think because I'm successful and interpersonal development, there is a lot of crossover like we just talked about, right? Crossover where I control. I always described myself like I put myself in this force field, right. I imagine it's like golden circle, you know, like from a movie or something. Right. In an Avengers movie. And whenever there's negative people or they talk negative or they go down rabbit holes, I kind of just like switch off and ignore them and they just bounce off the floor force field. So. So why is that sort of. You know, obviously you do it as a profession, so you can really pick up on this easily. But how. How does an everyday person pick up on people's energy? Because I think it has a big impact on them. Right.

[Joyce Brinton]

Well. And I have a energy class. I teach how to clean your field. And so I train people there on how to recognize. You know, you get a yucky feeling your get gut. You get a yucky feeling in your shoulders, your neck, know, maybe you get a pain in your lower back. It's like, what happened, you know, Was there somebody there that you took offense at? Was there somebody there had a yucky energy and you just decided to take it on? I run into a lot of people who call themselves empaths.

[Rudy]

Well, explain that.

[Joyce Brinton]

An empath is one who takes on everybody's pain.

[Rudy]

Oh, yeah, I think it's their job.

[Joyce Brinton]

Just a really good codependent, you know, and so empaths.

[Rudy]

Yeah, I think I'm the opposite of that. I like, keep everyone's problem. I get, you know, I got enough of my own good problems with business and stuff. Like, I don't know, time, you know, keep them at arm's length.

[Joyce Brinton]

So, you know, most of them, when they come see me, they're like, oh, I'm an empath. And I'm like, well, yeah, you don't have to be.

[Rudy]

Yeah, yeah. So I, you know, I think myself who's somewhat successful, I meet a lot of people, a lot of employees, partnerships, all that jazz speaker events. I do think the more successful you become, it's kind of the, the circle of influence. Right. It's very important to control the people around you and the energy that comes in and out. So how do you advise someone that is trying to be more successful to control that?

[Joyce Brinton]

I don't know if it's controlled as much as keeping themselves clean. And one of the ways to do that is actually in our solar plexus right here. We have energetic cords that connect us to people conversations. Take your hand like a sword and just cut it.

[Rudy]

Okay, okay.

[Joyce Brinton]

We never can cut cords of love, but we can cut cords of negativity or cuts of stuff that we don't want. I tell people all the time, if you're on a phone call with somebody and you don't like it, cut the cords the whole time. You know, some people don't even know you're doing it. Some people do. But cord cutting is your first go to.

[Rudy]

Yeah, Well, I normally say just hang up the phone. That works too. Right. But most people, I think are afraid to. They don't want to upset someone. Right. Or offend them. Right. So actually, I mean, a lot of people kind of live in this neg, get this negative energy so much from friends and family and people around them. And I think, and I think I may be better at stopping it coming towards me altogether. But if you're not, then these techniques are so important to somewhat self regulate. Right? Yeah. And I kind of imagine it coming back to that first analogy I used about washing your clothes at night. It's kind of like you got two options. Number one is try not to spill tomato sauce down your clothes. Right. But if you do, then you have to clean it up. Right. And that's kind of. I think I'm better at not spilling it in the first place. Most people, they're not. So they get hit with all this, you know, from colleagues in a 9 to 5 that are toxic or a toxic relationship or family that don't support them or friends that Are jealous. Yeah. That's all negative energy, right?

[Joyce Brinton]

Yeah.

[Rudy]

And is that what you see when people come to you, that years of that compounding and problems?

[Joyce Brinton]

Yeah.

[Rudy]

Yeah.

[Joyce Brinton]

And so a lot of times whenever I see, well, you know, a person comes into me first time, they're going to just complain, just dump, you know.

[Rudy]

Yeah. So you like a therapist?

[Joyce Brinton]

Yeah, I mean, I started out 43 years ago as a therapist.

[Rudy]

Okay.

[Joyce Brinton]

So, you know, so when they're dumping, I'm just listening and I'm like, oh, that's a lie. That's a lie. Oh, there's some truth there that's a lie to us.

[Rudy]

What do you mean by the light? Yeah.

[Joyce Brinton]

So when people are like, oh, I've been such a victim my whole life and nobody's ever in, you know, really, it's a lie. People are victims, but they buy into that.

[Rudy]

Yeah. You, I mean you, you put, it's like you put yourself in front of a car and get hit. You put yourself there. Right?

[Joyce Brinton]

Yeah. And the same thing with illnesses.

[Rudy]

Yeah.

[Joyce Brinton]

People read the symptoms, you know, people read the diagnosis. People get diagnosis and they're like, oh my gosh, yeah, I have all these symptoms. I'm like, yeah, well if you do that, you're going to find them.

[Rudy]

Well. And I, I always remember just about sickness. Gary Vee, a famous entrepreneur, I was getting sick a lot, traveling and working a lot. And I read one day from him, he wrote 10 years ago he decided he'd never get sick again and he's not been sick since. It was just like a bit of a light bulb for me because what would happen is I would start doing red eye flights or busy travel schedules and before I went I'd be like, I know I'm going to get sick.

[Joyce Brinton]

Yeah.

[Rudy]

And then I get sick. Right. And now I'm, I wouldn't say I'm perfect at it by any means, but, you know, I just did a, an 11 day sprint of filming a TV show in LA, flying back, hosting an event, flying back again to film again on Red eyes and like 14 hour days. And I, part of me was going into it like really scared I was going to get sick. But then I kept telling myself I wouldn't and I'd be okay and, and I just made it through, you know?

[Joyce Brinton]

Yes. I always tell people what you tell your bodies, it will adopt.

[Rudy]

Yeah.

[Joyce Brinton]

So if you tell yourself you're going to get fat from eating chocolate cake, well then body's going to adopt that.

[Rudy]

Yeah.

[Joyce Brinton]

It'll oblige.

[Rudy]

Yeah, yeah. It's Interesting. So. So last couple of questions for you. We talked a lot. You know, fascinating conversation. You know, I know it's more a basic level for everyone, but just how it interplays with your life and the outcome of your life, the happiness, success of your life. A very basic level, but just a little about you. Right. What are people going to get out of your episode and the lessons and your story?

[Joyce Brinton]

I'm hoping that what they'll see is just that answering yes to stuff that inspires you will take them there.

[Rudy]

Okay.

[Joyce Brinton]

You know, and. And that's really what I did when I did Legacy Makers. It's what I did when I wrote my book. It's what I did when I went to China. It's like whenever things really inspire me, I have learned to not say no.

[Rudy]

Yeah.

[Joyce Brinton]

Act on it immediately.

[Rudy]

Yeah. I think too many people get stuck in that. That I've always been good and successful. I mean, because, like, I've always said, what's the worst that can happen if I do it? And it fails. Like, I left everything in England, houses, real estate, business. And everyone was like, you're stupid. Why are you doing that? To start a new line. Like, well, worst case, I just moved back in a year and started all over again. And I get, you're in Florida. It's not that bad a risk, you know, but that perception is wildly different to most people. So, yes, I love that. That yes approach.

[Joyce Brinton]

Yeah. And also, people get sick when they don't say yes when they feel inspired to do something. And that's a lot of times a question I'll ask is, if people come in and say, hey, I don't know what's wrong, I'm sick, and this and that. And I said, so what inspiration have you ignored? You're saying no to.

[Rudy]

Well, most people in life, they. They trapped. Right. They're trapped in the nine to five, the mortgage over them, the two kids, the. You know, they're trapped. Right. And good thing about entrepreneurship is we're much more free to. To pursue those dreams and goals and ambitions, you know, so. So last question. What does legacy mean to you?

[Joyce Brinton]

Legacy means to me, leaving something for somebody else that's really powerful and inspiring.

[Rudy]

Love that. Love that. And last. Last question. People are watching. They want to maybe follow you on YouTube, socials, read the book, and then, you know, go down kind of into your world and learn more about this. Where do they find you?

[Joyce Brinton]

Healing Evolution is my YouTube channel. And then YourHealingEvolution.com they can book consults on there with me, they can book sessions with me.

[Rudy]

And you do it remote or I do remote. Okay, great. Awesome. Good. Well, guys, hope you enjoyed that session today. Talking about energy, the impact it has on your life, your surroundings, your success, your happiness, your health, your pretty much every other outcome. And if you want to go more, you know, down the rabbit hole, you know where to go to do so. And as always, keep working hard, have an impact, and build a legacy. I'll see you guys soon.
