About this episode

Have you ever felt unfulfilled in a business you once loved—even though you’re doing everything “right”?

Many entrepreneurs, especially women, reach a point where old strategies no longer work. They feel flat, blocked, or strangely disconnected from the success they’ve built. This isn’t a sign of failure—it’s a signal that deeper subconscious and energetic patterns are ready to be addressed.

She explains the three steps to clearing energetic misalignments so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and vitality.

Outline

Cheryl’s Background and Expertise

  • Cheryl Stelte is a spiritual coach, master energy healer, speaker and best-selling author with over 30 years of experience in spiritual and energetic transformation.
  • She founded the Star of Divine Light Institute and created the Azarius Energy Healing Certification Program.
  • Her focus centers on supporting business owners, especially women and healers, who feel blocked or misaligned despite extensive personal development work.

Transition to Business Coaching

  • Cheryl’s work with business owners began accidentally after writing her first book when coaches started asking how she attracted clients so effortlessly.
  • Her unique ability to see energy allows her to perform chakra readings and business chakra readings that provide insights through the lens of business challenges.
  • Two early coaching clients who had struggled for months to form groups successfully launched within six to seven weeks of working with her.

Target Client Profile

  • Healers often resist seeking help because they believe they should be able to handle everything themselves due to their healing abilities.
  • Business owners seeking Cheryl’s services typically want to move to the next level rather than starting from scratch.
  • A recent client example involved a woman with three businesses where her passion project wasn’t financially viable, requiring her to maintain two other businesses for income.

Understanding Business Blocks

  • Feeling stuck after personal growth is actually a sign of success rather than failure, as increased light from growth illuminates areas of darkness that need healing.
  • Business owners may experience flatness, unfulfillment, or decreased excitement about their work when subconscious blocks are ready to be addressed.
  • These blocks often manifest as being well-known in the industry but struggling with actual sales conversions.

Four Main Subconscious Blocks

  • Primary subconscious beliefs that stall business progress include “I’m not enough” or “I’m not good enough,” “I don’t matter,” “I’m unworthy,” and “I’m unlovable.” These beliefs form from repressed emotions in early childhood or even in the womb.
  • Unworthiness wounds commonly affect well-known businesswomen who struggle with monetization despite their visibility and expertise.

Origins of Childhood Trauma

  • The most common trauma experienced by clients involves lacking emotional resources in childhood, where no one was available to listen, understand, or validate their emotions.
  • This type of ongoing emotional neglect is now classified as trauma but often goes unrecognized even by therapists.
  • Trauma can begin in the womb when mothers experience fear about having the child due to various circumstances.

Understanding Trauma Encoding

  • Trauma is defined by lingering feelings of uncertainty rather than specific events that occurred.
  • Scientific research shows trauma encodes in the right side of the brain through physical sensations and emotions rather than linear memories.
  • Memory fragments may exist, but complete recollection is not necessary for healing to occur.

The ACE Method for Healing

  • Cheryl’s ACE method involves Access, Clear, and Empowerment as three steps to address subconscious blocks.
  • Access requires breathing with the lower abdomen to change brain function and free up the brainstem for subconscious access.
  • Clearing involves following emotional threads back to their origins and processing the associated feelings.

Breathing Technique for Access

  • Lower abdominal breathing involves placing a hand on the lower abdomen with the thumb at navel level and breathing deeply to expand the belly.
  • Exhaling requires squeezing abdominal muscles to expel all air completely.
  • This technique shifts breathing function from the brainstem to the frontal lobe, providing access to subconscious patterns.

Emotional Processing Method

  • Practitioners can start with current business frustrations or feelings of flatness and breathe through the associated emotions.
  • Following the emotional thread involves identifying surface emotions like anger, then discovering underlying feelings such as sadness.
  • Deeper trauma emotions often include confusion and shame, which can be traced back to their earliest origins.

Subconscious Reprogramming Process

  • The subconscious can be invited to reveal when patterns first began, often taking practitioners back to very early childhood experiences.
  • Imagining oneself as the young child and processing those emotions allows for reparenting and healing work.
  • New positive emotions and truths can then be breathed into the subconscious for reprogramming.

Client Success Example

  • One client discovered she had been living her entire life and business for others rather than herself, tracing this pattern back to the womb.
  • After releasing the trauma and blocks around living for her mother, she recognized herself as a bright shining light meant to shine.
  • This realization led to complete business transformation and alignment with her true purpose.

Meditation Resources Offered

  • Cheryl provides a package of three meditations to support the healing process described in the interview.
  • The first two meditations help practitioners work with the breathing technique for accessing subconscious patterns.
  • The third meditation focuses on creating safety and stability in the root chakra, which relates to trust and faith development.

Next Steps

  • Listeners are encouraged to practice the lower abdominal breathing technique and emotional processing method to identify and clear their own subconscious business blocks.
  • Those interested in deeper work can access Cheryl’s meditation package or consider booking a business chakra reading for personalized insights.
  • The core message emphasizes that everyone possesses power beyond their current imagination and can transform their business alignment through this inner work.

Keypoints

  • Cheryl Stelt is a spiritual coach, master energy healer, speaker, and best-selling author who focuses on supporting business owners, especially women and healers, who feel blocked despite their personal development work.
  • Cheryl developed her expertise in helping female business owners by working with coaches who struggled to form groups or attract clients, using her ability to see energy and perform business chakra readings to identify their blocks.
  • After working with Cheryl, two struggling coaches were able to form their groups with paid deposits within 6-7 weeks, demonstrating the effectiveness of her approach in removing business blocks.
  • Feeling stuck after achieving a certain level of success is not a failure but actually a sign of growth, as increased light begins to shine on areas that need healing, allowing for continued business expansion.
  • Four main subconscious blocks that stall business progress include beliefs of “I’m not enough,” “I don’t matter,” “I’m unworthy,” and “I’m unlovable,” which often originate from childhood experiences and operate in the background.
  • The number one trauma experienced by Cheryl’s clients is the lack of emotional resources in childhood, where they didn’t have someone to turn to with their emotions, leading to patterns of stuffing emotions that affect their business success.
  • Trauma is encoded in the right side of the brain through physical sensations and emotions rather than linear memories, which means people don’t need to consciously remember traumatic events to be affected by them.
  • Cheryl’s ACE method (Access, Clear, Empowerment) helps reprogram the subconscious mind at a deeper level than traditional mindset work by accessing and clearing blocks, then empowering new beliefs.
  • The first step of the ACE method involves breathing with the lower abdomen, which changes brain function by engaging the frontal lobe and freeing up the brainstem to access the subconscious.
  • By following the “emotional thread” during meditation, individuals can trace feelings like anger or sadness down to deeper emotions such as confusion and shame, which are often connected to early trauma.
  • The process involves inviting the subconscious to reveal when a pattern first began, which could be as early as infancy, then processing those emotions and discovering what beliefs were formed.
  • After releasing trauma and blocks, individuals can reprogram their subconscious with positive emotions like joy and excitement, leading to greater clarity and alignment in their business.
  • Cheryl offers a package of three meditations, with the third focusing on creating safety and stability in the root chakra to help develop trust and faith.
