  • Distance Healing Works! Here’s How.

    I know it can still be hard to believe. After all, we have always had to visit the doctor or practitioner in order to be taken care of. We are used to it. So how is it possible that a healer can help you when you aren’t even in the same room?

    As technology has advanced over the last decade, there are more opportunities to email, text and video chat with our healthcare providers, which, of course, saves time, money and gas. It also allows us to widen our field of who we use, drawing on practitioners from all over the country and the world.

    Energy healing can also easily be done remotely, with the same benefits as an in-person session. Technology may connect us audibly and visually, but our energetic connection is instantaneous and ever-present and even more powerful than anything our five sense can offer us. Let me explain how this can be, using information from the study of quantum physics.

    Quantum physics has proven that all matter is interconnected by waves, spread out through time and space. We are all literally connected to the furthest reaches of the cosmos.

    In reality, nothing in the world is solid. Instead, we are only a collection of charged energy particles having a relationship. Amazingly, our subatomic particles exist as probabilities waiting for direction, coming into their own realities by our consciousnesses.

    Our particles also emit lightwaves. These light emissions together create a highly ordered subatomic network of cooperating particles, communicating through common electromagnetic fields. As they communicate, resonant waves gather and begin acting like one giant wave and one giant subatomic particle. This phenomenon is called coherence.

    Coherence is also the process by which one person can heal another: the electromagnetic fields of the healer and the recipient collide and begin to communicate with each other. The conscious focus of our intentions is akin to a tuning fork causing the tuning forks of other things in the universe to resonate at the same frequency.

    This occurs equally well over long distances, in group settings or in person.

    Having practiced this form of coherence for 20 years, I have learned to connect deeply to your energy field. My first perception is usually the physical or emotional issue that is your first priority. In conjunction with our guides, angels, masters and teachers — the Healing Team — I am able to trace these issues to their inception. The Healing Team and I then delete and release the cellular memory of these traumas from your past, your family lineage, your ancestors or past lifetimes. You are left with a greater sense of peace, clarity and neutrality to present-day situations.

    Whether on the phone or on a video screen, my full focus is on you. You, meanwhile, can be anywhere that is comfortable and convenient: your home, private office, or even the car. And afterwards, you can rest or move back into your day slowly.

    My clients who take advantage of distant session all report being able to feel the energy, feel the movements, changes and clearings, see colors and images, and receive messages from their guides.

    Want more info? There have been over 150 studies of remote healing of variable scientific rigor. Here are just a few examples:

    Edward von Dyke experimented with healers sending positive intentions to algae. He qualifiably showed that algae was able to receive healing emissions through a healers’ thoughts/intentions, as though it was being bombarded with Light.

    Gary Schwartz’ experiments used the talents of 20 master energy healers sending intentions to one of each pair of leaves. In a majority of the cases, the leaves’ light was definitively diminished or raised, depending on the intention of the healer.

    The late doctor Elisabeth Targ devised a highly-controlled pair of studies during the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, in which 40 healers of all kinds from across America were shown to improve the health of terminal AIDS patients, even though the healers had never met of been in contact with their patients.

    Lynn McTaggart set up experiments in which people sent healing intentions to their subjects (human, animal or plant) intermittently as well as at regular schedules. The results: there was a consistent identifiable effect in the light emissions of the subjects at exactly the times the intentions were sent to them.

    These studies and more demonstrate that we have a quantum bond with our world. Our thoughts influence this bond. Our perception of the world outside of ourselves occurs through a constant conversation with our surroundings. Moreover, our conversations occur both with words and with Light.

    We are indeed boundless, multi-dimensional beings.

  • On Forgiveness

    Question: We talked in the last book (4th-Dimensional Healing) about the detriment of holding onto toxic thoughts and feelings. Can you go more into depth about that?

    Answer: The conscious mind is built to reason and reflect and take appropriate action as needed. But it is your subconscious mind that rules most of your decisions. The subconscious is the totality of all of you– your past, your family’s past (your heritage, genetic lineage, epigenetics), and your experiences over lifetimes. Your subconscious mind holds an intelligence of safety that spans lifetimes.

    Unresolved feelings, memories, beliefs about life and beliefs about death, are ever present even when you are not consciously aware of them. They help create the fabric of who you are as an individual. But you are also ever-pliable — made to change, grow and improve. You have the ability to uncover the subconscious mind’s conclusions, and release obsolete ideas and choose new ones.

    Toxic thoughts and feelings cause you pain, even when you truly believe them to be true. They eat away at you, causing you to age and lose vitality. They lower your vibration, diminishing the Light you emanate into the world.

    Your feelings are your humanness. Honoring and processing hurt, anger, resentment, etc., and taking into account what is yours and what it the other person’s, is the first part of any process. Over time you choose what you want to live with and what you don’t. Time offers the maturity and experience necessary to reevaluate your thoughts and beliefs.

    Physical discomfort or illness can highlight subconscious feelings and beliefs. These are optimal opportunities to delve more deeply into what is held energetically, physically and metaphysically. When yo sees all discomfort as self-imposed, you can take responsibility for investigating and exposing the internal sources.

    Healing the mind and body requires you to restructure, re-pattern and, finally, forgive.

    Restructure: Change a framework or erasing the thought. Choose a new way to perceive or believe. Use the experiences you have built over time to reframe beliefs developed by your less mature mind or less developed soul.

    Re-pattern: Clear out old energy, break up energetic patterns using physical and energetic therapies. (These may include acupuncture, yoga, massage, physical therapy, somatic therapy, Reiki, EMDR, craniosacral therapy, etc.) Develop new stories and ways of using words to describe past situations and events. This will have a direct effect on how you feel.

    Forgiveness: This is the ultimate change agent, no matter whether you are forgiving yourself or someone else. Forgiveness comes from understanding and compassion. Ultimately it is the way of freeing yourself from the confines of negativity or toxicity.

    You may forgive yourself by recognizing that you have a new understanding based on more information and experience. You may recognize that your intentions were never to harm, even though you harmed yourself in the end. This requires humility– a diminishing of the ego– and self-honesty.

    You may forgive others by recognizing the same– all human beings are fallible, succumbing to their own fears and misguided intentions. People who act out violently, or even evilly, are often so far removed from their true humanity as to have no connection to their actions and the subsequent consequences. They are “out of their minds”. Forgiveness comes when one recognizes there is no benefit to holding onto the memories or allowing them to shape one’s life. And true complete forgiveness comes when you remember that, on the soul level, no one is a victim. There is always a higher-level agreement. Instead, use all experiences as opportunities to evolve with compassion.

    Forgiveness is what you do for yourself, not for the other person. Forgiveness is when you know you are ready to stop holding onto those feelings. Forgiveness comes when you are ready to heal. Forgiveness is your release.

  • What Are Your Thoughts?

    The chaos in the world is starting to get to me. It’s hard to stay away from the news — something I have done for the last 30 years — but suddenly I can’t stop looking to see what new atrocity has occurred. At the core, I believe that this is a time when underlying emotions are rising to the surface to be seen, understood and healed. But, whew! It’s challenging to be confronted by so much all at once.

    Look, we’re all human, and it is the human condition to have fears and emotions about everything, and to judge situations as they happen. However, it is inappropriate to let fear be the overriding emotion upon which we base our decisions in the now or our assumptions of the future.

    The best way to be a positive contribution to our own lives is to examine our thoughts — all of them, down to the smallest reactions and the smallest inconveniences. We must learn to flip the switch from negative to neutral when reacting to a situation that is out of our control. We can be vigilant about our thoughts and projections onto other people and events. It is also important to be checking in with our own prejudices, judgments and minor aggressions.

    We can choose to bring light into our lives regardless of what is happening outside of ourselves, even while staying compassionate and caring. We have so many luxuries in this country that others don’t have access to. And even when we are going through challenging, difficult, hard times, we must remember that things eventually improve and, as a country, we are still luckier than most. We are also conscious enough now to know that we are the powerful creators of our lives, and if we have created something we don’t like, we are equally able to create something new and different at any time.

    Here is a practice that may help you make a simple shift:

    Notice what your first thoughts are when you wake up in the morning. Where does your mind go? Do you wake up thinking, “Ugh, another day.”? Do thoughts of your day’s obligations spring to mind? Or do you bring back emotional turmoil from the day before?

    How many days a week do you open your eyes and think, “Yes! I am so excited to do today!”?

    Try this experiment for a week: notice your first thoughts in the morning, and see if changing any negative or low-vibrational thoughts into something positive effects your day. Notice if it effects your attitude. Notice if it effects your relationships.

    Here are some practices to try upon awakening:

    • Smile;
    • Recite an affirmation (I am fond of the Access Consciousness affirmation, “All of life comes to me with ease, joy and glory.”);
    • Think of those you love;
    • Relish the miracle of your breath or the movement of your body;
    • Think of something you have to look forward to;
    • As you think of your daily To Do list, reframe it as things you get to do, not things you have to do.

    Let’s continue to create the positive energy we wish to see and have in the world. The Aborigine saying comes to my mind, “Dream the world into being.” The fact that we are alive here and now means that we have the power to make a huge difference, even starting from a small spot. The world needs us all to wake up.
