Meet an Acupuncture Artist

Healing is an art, and an act of kindness….Dr. Gloria Martin

Dr. Gloria Martin

Last September I returned to Hawaii from the mainland suffering from the lingering effects of a toxic tick bite. My mind was foggy, my immune system compromised. I experienced a miserable week of rolling hives that barely responded to drugs prescribed by patronizing doctors. I was scheduled to perform with my woman’s chorus at an all weekend event and didn’t know how I would get through it.

I called my best Supernal friend, Sue, with my tale of woe. Sue said, “I’m getting the word that you need to go for acupuncture. They’re saying if you don’t go, you will really be in trouble.”

Maybe it was fate, maybe it was luck, but I called Hawaii Kai Acupuncture and Massage, near my home. After hearing my distress, the kind office manager, Danielle, rearranged appointments and worked me in for treatment with Dr. Gloria Martin, the next afternoon. I arrived at the office dressed to go onto a performance I doubted I’d be able to make, my energy was so low. I followed Danielle’s instructions, entered the exam room, disrobed, donned a sheet and lay on the table, ready for the doctor. Dr. Martin walked in and gave me her full attention. She listened to my theory of the toxic tick bite. I was impressed when she said, “Sometimes listening to the patient is the best information.”

After a moderate examination, she stared at the small blister on my stomach still visible from a two-month old tick bite. She said, “Yes, that is still a problem. I will get to work.”

Dr. Martin applied needles in multiple places on my body, as one would expect in acupuncture. She also aggressively treated the bite with needles, burning, and extraction. She turned me over and cupped my back. Head to toe, front to back, Dr. Martin worked on the energetic channels of my body to stimulate and balance my system.

After I left her office, I felt better than I had in weeks. I was able to perform for three long days. Dr. Martin’s treatment helped me get back to myself. I was so impressed. Generally, with allelopathic medicine you walk out of the office feeling as lousy as you went in, hoping that the drugs prescribed will kick in within a couple of days. You don’t expect the doctor visit to actually make you feel better. I discovered acupuncture could deliver immediate relief and enhance speedy healing.

I wanted to learn more. Dr. Martin agreed to meet with me to discuss her life, healing philosophy, and holistic practice.

FROM SPAIN TO HAWAII

Born in Spain, the tones of Dr. Gloria’s birth country still ring through her words. Her father managed a mine in the town of Leon. When Gloria was nearly five years old, he took a job in Germany. Soon, her mother joined him in Germany and enrolled Gloria in a convent school in Spain. She quickly became attached to a motherly nun and looks back on that period with fondness. Her first spiritual experiences occurred at the convent.

“It was so beautiful to be there. The nuns would sing like a chorus. I felt like I was in heaven with the angels. It was the first time I had quiet, mystic experiences. I was in the church one time. There was a statute of the child Jesus on one side of the church. It was like my friend. One time when I was looking at him and feeling a lot of love and attachment for him, there was a light that completely filled the entire altar and it continued growing and growing and everything was immersed in that light. The level of love increased as the light increased until I actually passed out and lost consciousness. It felt like such a gift.”

Dr. Martin and her family eventually moved to Barcelona, where she finished her basic schooling. At seventeen she followed her soul’s yearning, spending time meditating and trekking the summer through spiritual sites. She studied ancient philosophies and modern quantum physics. As winter approached, she returned to Barcelona, intending to stay with friends, but instead found her way to a Hare Krishna school, where she studied Eastern philosophies. By age twenty, she wanted to move to the United States to explore the opportunities of the American culture and economy. She was sponsored by a Hare Krishna ashram in West Virginia. Unfortunately, she found herself in a highly controlling atmosphere.

“I soon realized they had made a cult out of the philosophy. Oh my God, the leader was nuts. I was horrified and scared to death. He ended up in jail years later. I met a young man there who was a musician and we became good friends. We escaped that place together and later got married.”

They lived in Miami for a while and then moved to California, pursuing his career in the music industry. They had their first of four children and lived in Berkley where Gloria learned English and studied philosophy. By 1981, the California congestion and urban pressures compelled them to follow friends to Hawaii.

She discovered a school for acupuncture on Oahu run by a medical doctor who had observed traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) while serving in the military. Amazed by seeing surgeries performed without anesthetics, he studied TCM and brought acupuncture to western students. Gloria enrolled as a full time student, graduated at the top of her class, and immediately began practicing her healing arts. For several years she was the manager of a holistic clinic, working with a chiropractor and other practitioners.

Like many kindred spirits, Dr. Gloria felt a spiritual connection to the islands. The marriage ended after twelve years, but she established Hawaii as the home for herself and her children. She has been practicing her healing arts for over thirty-five years in Hawaii.

HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE WORK?

I asked her to give me an overview of the basics of acupuncture.

“There is a body system that is the energy system, the “Chi” system. It runs in channels. It is subtle energy, but it is still physical. It can be measured by machines. The channels are like rivers of energy. They are all connected, but at the same time, they are separated as to specific functions. There is the Liver Channel, the Kidney Channel, the Heart Channel and so on. Each channel connects internally with the named organ.

Each channel carries the functions of the organs. We concentrate on the functions of the organ systems, rather than the physicality of the organ itself. We also look for patterns of disease. We look at the patterns and the malfunctions, the interconnections of the organs, and treat the patient accordingly, taking many factors into consideration.

We do it by manipulating the Chi that is running on the channels. There are approximately four hundred acupuncture points. Each point is like pressing a button that goes directly to the brain and also to the sympathetic nerves in the spinal cord. It causes a certain reaction in the body. It can immediately treat pain by stimulating the brain to produce natural pain relievers. It can stimulate hormones and all the many functions of the body, depending on which channels are being treated.”

THREE LEVELS OF ACUPUNCTURIST

Dr. Martin explained there are three different levels of Chinese medicine doctors:

The first doctor concentrates on the physical body and only that. It’s very mechanical. They place the needles, let them stay in place for a few minutes, then remove them.
The second level doctor considers the mental and emotional health of the patient, along with the physical. They are more observational and conversational with the patients. Treatment incorporates other modalities and herbal recommendations.
The third doctor incorporates the first two, but also adds spiritually intuitive guidance. These practitioners have studied ancient philosophies such as Taoism. They might consider generational influences that in the West we call DNA, among ideas like past life connections. It’s a much broader scope of understanding by the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual states of the patient.

Dr. Gloria is one of the third level of doctors. She offers treatments, but she also advises life style changes. Healing of emotions may necessary to promote over-all healing. Each client is unique and receives specialized treatments and recommendations tailored especially for them.

Returning to Lemuria with Kryon

by Dana Taylor/ Photos by Monika Muranyi

Greetings, Dear Ones, I am Kryon of Magnetic Service.

I have now heard that phrase dozens of times in the past three years since I moved to Hawaii and began listening to the free audio messages posted at Kryon.com by channel Lee Carroll. Before my move to Hawaii I had read a couple Kryon books with interest, but life was too busy to become absorbed by the material.

In 2014 major life changes found me living in Honolulu without any social network or even a car. My feet became my main source of transportation and Kryon messages became the most interesting material to hear as I strolled under the tropical skies.

Messages dating back to 2002 are readily available 24/7 for anyone to access on the website. It was case of when the student is ready, the teacher will come. After years of reading esoteric material, the Kryon messages offered the next step of other worldly wisdom about where humanity has been and is heading. From beyond ancient history to the unfolding post-2012 cosmic epoch, Kryon is a teacher for the ages. I have absorbed and embraced much of the world view presented.

In January 2017, a notice from a Dr. John Ryan offering a Return to Lemuria Conference with the Kryon team on the Big Island of Hawaii in December popped up on my Facebook page. Interesting. I jumped over to Kryon.com to check it out, but there was no information there yet. Nobody on the 16,000 member Kryon fan page mentioned it. I had never heard of Dr. John Ryan. After the message popped up a couple more times, I checked into Dr. Ryan and discovered he is a board certified Canadian physician who works in mainstream medicine and yet also explores energy medicine. In fact, he has been inspired by visions and metaphysical experiences to develop what he calls Unity Field Healing.

Okay, now it was clear why I was getting nudged. Something new in energy healing? I was definitely interested.

But, spend the big bucks to go to a conference? Hmmm. I sent a message to a friend who I thought might be interested in going with me. Her immediate reply–If you’re going, I’m going. Ultimately, she invited another friend who wanted a week in Hawaii, so our condo and car costs were split three ways. Yes!

On the Big Island

And so, that is how it happened that I was sitting in a posh Hilton conference room with Kryon followers from around the globe and heard, “Greetings, Dear Ones, I am Kryon of Magnetic Service” in person.

Over the course of time Lee Carroll has developed a retinue of companions who serve as presenters for various topics. Dr. Amber Wolf leads meditations and Lemurian Women events. Robert Coxon and Lilly Wong offer spirit language and music. Prageet Harris and Marilyn Harper channel other entity messages. Kahuna Kalei adds her Hawaiian spirituality to the mix. The regular Kryon gang was there and I was excited to experience them in person, not just as disembodied voices coming through the ear phones.

Part of me feared I would be disillusioned, as happened with another prominent energy healer I saw in person, who came across as a money grubbing ego maniac. I am happy to report no obnoxious egos or money grubbers were in sight. In fact, Lee Carroll, the main attraction when channeling Kryon, was otherwise a low-key participant. He didn’t play up any celebrity hype, but actually made sure the audio visual equipment worked properly. People respected his humility and shied away from demanding photos.

Lee Carroll

What’s more, there wasn’t any Kryon paraphernalia for sale. No mugs, buttons, magic stones or even books. Other presenters had items for sale, but it was modest.

The meat of the conference was in the presentations and more importantly, in the meditations. The theme had been billed as Return to Lemuria and Akashic Remembrance. Dr. John Ryan revealed he had been instructed by his guides to sponsor the conference. It seemed important to bring together healers from around the globe to have the joint experience and learn more about Unity Field Healing.

What is Lemuria?

Kryon and others have identified Lemuria as the first place of civilization on the planet. According to Kryon folklore, Hawaii was once one great continent. The earth once rose like a great bubble of land from the volcanic pressure below. A more balanced civilization of gender equality than we know today blossomed for a time. As the land began to sink, people fled the region and traveled to other parts of the world, taking much of their culture with them.

Despite the passing millennia and modern cultural destruction, Hawaiian kahunas still honor the Lemurian ancestors today and guard many ancient traditions.

The Stargate Experience

Prageet Harris and Julieanne Conrad

Englishman Prageet Harris often joins Kryon events and channels an entity named Alcazar. He has created a sacred geometric structure dubbed the Stargate, which stood in the room throughout the conference.

For me, the most powerful parts of the conference were the meditations led by Prageet Harris and his companion, Julieanne Conard, both channeling Alcazar. The energy was palpable. Being in a meditative state, I don’t remember all the details, but something happened. When Prageet invited the Lemurian masters to rise up from under the earth of Hawaii and into our auric fields, I started shaking, coughing, and my eyes watered. It felt a bit like hanging onto a multidimensional roller coaster. A great ride!

During the second meditation, I “felt” a finger on my forehead, as if I was receiving an attunement. Learn more about Prageet Harris and the Stargate at TheStargateExperience.com.

At the Volcano

On Thursday four buses loaded up and traveled through the center of the island. The amazing terrains of the Big Island constantly inspire. The mountains of five volcanos tower like ancient guardians. Vast lava fields sprawl beneath them, giving way to primordial forests. Glimpsing a dinosaur would not be surprising.

After two hours, we arrived at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Visitors experience steam vents spewing gases into the air and can overlook the churning “cauldera,” the heart of an active volcano.

Kahuna Kalei led the group to sacred male and female heiuas on the rim over the volcano and offered holy chants. I sat on the earth and meditated, absorbing the energies of the volcano and the ceremony. A steady rhythmic beat from within the earth made me gently sway with it.

We enjoyed lunch and a Kryon channel on the grass at the visitor center. My bus buddy, Virginia, and I lay down on the soft lawn and basked in the sun, letting the words of Kryon drift over us. Really out of this world.

Dr. John Ryan and Unity Field Healing

Dr. John Ryan

Finally, on Saturday night came the main reason I believe I went to the conference–to hear Dr. John Ryan. I had purchased his book, The Missing Pill, several months before, so I had an idea of the material he would present.

Anticipating the four hour presentation, I feared I would have trouble staying awake. But, no, I was riveted. It wasn’t so much that I heard anything new. Quite, the contrary, after years of reading books on healing, quantum physics, and listening to hours of Kryon messages, I already knew most of what Dr. Ryan revealed.

For me the biggest take away from Dr. Ryan was validation. Here was a respected physician coming forward and speaking openly about multi-dimensions, visions, the unorthodox Kryon version of human history, and energy healing.

What’s more he’d also had visions of quantum DNA that resonated with my own experience. A while back I had a vision of DNA with an invisible, but very real, quantum strand of light entwined in the usual DNA models we see. Now Dr. Ryan was presenting a healing modality opening the idea of healing and releasing the power of DNA. Kryon has said humans only use about 33 percent of their DNA. Children will be born with higher activation. When humans reach over 40 percent, they will tap into true multidimensional abilities.

It seems to me the concept of Unity Field Healing adds two components to the current understanding of energy healing. The first is working with DNA. In Reiki and other modalities, we have been working in the auric energy fields, offering balance, releasing energy blocks, raising frequency. But Unity Field Healing adds another layer of working with DNA, the basic building blocks of the cells. The potential for healing is enormous.

Though I was reading between the lines a bit, I think the second new component from UFH may be working in the Akashic Field for healing purposes. Kryon speaks of “mining the Akash” for skills and attributes from past lives that are sitting in our energy fields. As UFH develops it may very well enlarge our understanding of Akashic memory and ties. Currently, the most utilized method to deal with troubling past life issues is through past life regression hypnosis as developed by students of Michael Newton, Brian Weiss, and Dolores Cannon. Could UFH arise in the post-2012 energy to heal those lingering old energy ties?

Dr. Ryan offers three attunements via audio files on his website for the modest price of $60. To close his session, he played a 40 minute meditation. At the time, it wasn’t as noticeable an energy experience as others had been during the week. However, my dreams that night were very telling. They were almost nightmares, revealing various fears I have had through the years. My dreams seemed to cleanse and release.

In the morning I felt a sort of hole at my heart chakra, as if I had done some emotional house cleaning.

I appreciate that Dr. Ryan has the courage to speak out about these unconventional areas, undoubtedly with some professional risk.

A Fond Aloha

The week was definitely a milestone for me. I enjoyed the full-on Kryon experience. I met Light Workers from the US, Australia, Germany, Finland, Switzerland, France, India and beyond. I no longer feel so isolated or strange in my emerging world view. Feeling ready to “take it to the next level,” I returned to Honolulu and immediately was offered the opportunity to lead a multidimensional workshop.

I’m excited about the future.

As Kryon would say, And so it is.

“The Healer” Brings Energy Healing to TV

by Dana Taylor

A client/friend alerted me to a new show on TLC entitled The Healer, starring Australian energy healer, Charlie Goldsmith. While a tropical storm battered my Honolulu apartment windows, through the magic of modern technology, I downloaded episode one to see what this Charlie fellow was all about.

After the first fifteen minutes, I was air pumping, “Yes!” A reality show featuring an energy healer in action will hopefully open more than a few minds. Charlie Goldsmith and his sidekick, Amber, are both easy on the eyes, plus speak with engaging Aussie accents. Yeah, they make good TV.

Episode one begins with a woman named Diamond suffering from a disorder now called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome CRPS (formerly referred to as RSD Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome). I am very familiar with that disease because my Supernal friend, Paula, went through seven years of hell with it until she was healed through Reiki. Her story is covered in both my Supernal Series books.

As is common with CRPS, Diamond’s disorder began with a fall. The body registers extreme pain and simply never stops. Complex Regional Pain sufferers have the worst pain known for a disorder. It is constant. The brain and nervous system seem to get stuck in the highest pain mode and don’t turn off the switch. The condition often affects one side of the body and spreads. Doctors attempt pain control with meds and surgical pain block devices, but patients become debilitated and suffer for years.

When Charlie Goldsmith visits Diamond, she has been suffering for two months. She is in a wheel chair. Her husband has turned into her full time caregiver. Her three children are learning to deal with a disabled mother. This being reality TV, their difficult home life is given considerable air time.

Charlie and Amber arrive to see if Charlie’s gift can give Diamond some relief. Watching Charlie “work” was very interesting to me. He simply asks a few questions about the patient’s problem, then shuts his eyes and gets into his healing mode. Most of the time he sits with his hands cupped forming a small energy ball. His eye lids flutter. He tells Diamond he is looking at her energy body and making adjustments.

This method is very reminiscent of the descriptions of distance energy healing laid out in the book, Dream Healer, the first book published by Dr. Adam McLeod when he was a teenager and used only his first name to maintain some privacy. He describes seeing a holographic image of a person’s energy body and making adjustments in a multidimensional way to promote healing. It appears Charlie Goldsmith has a similar gift.

Goldsmith doesn’t employ the full over body hand waving common in Reiki and other energy healing modalities. Rather, he tunes in and makes his adjustments in a multidimensional fashion. Those of us who do distance healing “get it.” I’m sure it seems incomprehensible to people who live strictly within their five senses.

Diamond responds very well to Charlie’s treatment. Her pain level immediately decreases dramatically and he coaxes her into standing and taking a few steps. It takes courage on her part to lean on the leg that had been a source of excruciating pain just a few minutes before. In lovely reality TV fashion, her family cries and embraces her.

Personally, I totally buy into the Goldsmith effect because I witnessed an identical “miracle” twelve years ago with Paula. Of course, I don’t believe it is a “miracle,” but rather an adjustment in frequency through energy medicine. Not only will healers like Charlie be able to help chronic pain sufferers, but I believe devices (See article on Trinfinity8) will be developed that will make similar adjustments when we finally break away from chemicals for medicine and embrace energy medicine.

Anyway, back to The Healer, episode one continues with Charlie treating a young man with Lyme disease and a home visit with actress Jennifer Grey of Dirty Dancing fame. Grey’s treatment brings in a layer of emotional healing. Grey was in a serious car accident just before Dirty Dancing was released. A mother and daughter in the other car died. Grey endured multiple surgeries on her neck and has suffered chronic pain for decades. When Charlie first begins to work on her, she doesn’t sense any improvement. In fact, she hurts more and seems a bit hostile. He continues the treatment and takes different mental approaches. She has a breakthrough and he confides that he sensed an issue of guilt that needed to be healed. As healers well know, emotions can play a large part in whether a person can get well.

Following up with the patients a couple months later, they are all more mobile and enjoying a better quality of life. Charlie Goldsmith does not claim to be helpful with everyone he sees. He views himself not only as a healer, but as a bridge to conventional medicine. He is doing the show and seeking collaboration with medical doctors to open minds to energy healing. Obviously, for the sake of entertaining television, viewers will probably only see the best-case scenario stories.

In my opinion, we’ll be seeing many people like Charlie Goldsmith and Adam McLeod as the years go by. Moving into the post-Shift era, the new frequencies will bring forth children gifted in ways that seem like the stuff of fantasy and science fiction. It will all be part of the new normal of multidimensional living.

The Healer is produced by the TLC channel. Read more about Charlie Goldsmith at his website CharlieGoldsmith.com.

I can hardly wait to watch episode two.

I Wish I Knew Then, What I Know Now

Book review by Dana Taylor

“Humanity is not a random accident. There is a reason we are here, and each one of us has a purpose in life that we have come to fulfill, a reason and a purpose which we planned prior to incarnating. We are much more than our physical body; we are eternal souls incarnated in a body.” Roser Sagarra

As I read Roser Sagarra’s book Living on Earth: A Guide to Help You Achieve Health, Happiness and Success, I pictured myself back around 1970. If only some time traveler had popped in and handed me this book, it would have saved me a whole lot of time and effort. The coming trends of the next decades would have been clear. The best books to read regarding spirituality, consciousness, the law of attraction, energy healing, alternative medicine, even pre-life planning and past life therapy are all laid out.

Sagarra compresses a lifetime of searching and exploration into a concise organization of the mind-body-spirit consciousness movement of the past several decades. She touches on spirituality, without being religious. Like many, she has embraced Eastern ideas of karma, reincarnation, and laws of creation and translates them for a Western culture.

Information on health and healing reflect the movement away from old thinking of the body as a machine into the awareness of the energetic nature of human beings. She gives a concise overview of the trends of alternative therapies and the influence of emotions and stress on health.

At the end of every chapter, Sagarra recommends books to expand comprehension of the topics discussed. Time and again, I realized I had gravitated to the same books through the years. Like Sagarra, those books and their ideas changed and enriched my life.

As the subtitle suggests, Living on Earth is a straightforward guide to leading a healthy, happy, and successful life in the 21st century.

Chakra Therapy for Cancer

Many thanks to Richard Alpert who provided most of the information in this article. He also alerted me to a helpful website for people dealing with mesothelioma, a cancer caused by asbestos exposure. Visit Mesothelioma.net for more information.

Along with traditional treatments, many cancer patients are turning to alternative, holistic forms of medicine. The combination has shown great success. Natural chakra healing is a type of energy therapy that can be used to complement other treatment options. Chakras are energy hubs that power and organize the physical body. These energy currents within the body are affected by the way we interact with the world. They help create and maintain health and balance in your body. The goal is to keep these energy chakras open and flowing. When an imbalance or blockage occurs, this interferes with harmonious energy levels causing the body to experience pain and disease. Restoring the balance helps promote physical and mental well-being.

What is Chakra Healing?

Naturopathy encompasses several forms of treatment. Each type of therapy is designed to heal and cleanse the body’s various chakras. There are seven main energy centers, or chakras, in the body. Cancer often manifests closest to the most imbalanced chakra. An article published in the European Journal of Cancer demonstrated a correlation between emotional stress and the suppression of the immune system. Emotional stress can also cause an increase in the pain and fatigue associated with mesothelioma and other forms of cancer. According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, energy therapy is a palliative form of treatment that can enhance calmness, which helps balance the mind and body.

Energy Therapy with Crystals and Reiki

A cancer patient undergoes therapy to release the harmful effects of negative energy, open up pathways and restore balance. The healing crystals are uniquely colored stones containing various energy vibrations that help promote wellness in diseased areas of the body. While rose quartz stones enhance energy in the chest and lung area, smoky quartz stones help detoxify the body after cancer treatment like radiation and chemotherapy. Amethyst is used to promote mental and emotional healing. Citrine and sunstone help boost energy levels so that the body can recover more quickly from a cancer treatment.

Reiki energy healing is highly complimentary to patients undergoing cancer treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy. While those treatments may help eradicate cancer cells, they also weaken immune system response and generally deplete the patient’s basic energy level. Reiki infuses the cancer patient with healing energy frequencies. Patients report faster recovery levels, better sleep, and a general overall feeling of wellness.

Naturopathy may also include massage, music and aromatherapy. A massage helps lessen stress and boosts the immune system. Music has been shown to promote relaxation, relieve anxiety and boost cleansing chakras. The sound can be tailored to meet a specific diagnosis and personal preferences. According to the American Cancer Society, music therapy has demonstrated the ability to reduce nausea after chemotherapy and improve blood pressure, calm breathing and ease depression. Various essential oils can be applied during a massage, taken as a dietary supplement or used during aromatherapy. The goal is to help the body’s self-healing process fight off cancer and negate the emotional stresses that can aggravate the disease. It also opens up channels so that traditional cancer treatment options can be more effective.

Every ailment, including cancer, affects each person in a different manner. Numerous studies and years of clinical research have shown the potential benefits of alternative medicine treatments. Alone or in conjunction with traditional medical protocols, naturopathy targets the underlying cause of disease and reverses the negative effects of the condition.

Take Charge of Your Health

A cancer diagnosis is frightening, but it can also be a wake-up call. By reminding us of our own mortality, it makes us examine our life choices and priorities. Cancer is a holistic disease–it affects mind, body, and spirit. Dealing with it in a holistic manner can be very empowering and life changing. Be pro-active in your therapy choices, seek spiritual and emotional wellness, treasure the gift of each new day.

Bright blessings,

Dana Taylor

“Ever-Flowing Streams” Wins Indie Spiritual Book Award

I am happy to announce Ever-Flowing Streams: Christ, Reiki, Reincarnation & Me won the Energy Medicine Category of the 2014 The Indie Spiritual Book Awards (TISBA).

You can read more about the program at http://theindiespiritualbookawards.com/index.php/why

See all the WINNERS

While it’s great to build credibility through awards, it is the personal feedback of readers that is the most important reason to write a book like Ever-Flowing Streams. Here is a customer review that makes the time and effort of writing worthwhile:

From “LeoGoddess” (Southern California):

I was absolutely engaged, from the first page to the last. I could not put the book down. This isn’t just a memoir, or a book about healing. It is one woman’s spiritual journey at discovering her own healing power through Christ. She explains how it is available for all of us to tap in to. I appreciate her down to Earth approach and how she shares her doubts and thinks at times she might be “crazy”, yet she lets her heart guide her to amazing enlightenment. The book has the meat and potatoes of science and references to other scientific books if you care to research, sprinkled with the seasoning of personal life stories. It is an enjoyable, yet informative read. Personally, I felt like she was giving words and explanations to beliefs I already held to be true but could not explain. Each chapter was a beautiful revelation, such as the fact that at our DNA level we are luminary beings as we are made of bio-photons which actually emit light energy. I felt safe in the knowledge that she is just a girl from California, seasoned in the Southern Midwest who has a Christian background. My fear of tapping into things that weren’t of God have always held me back. Without being preachy, the author gives honor to God and Jesus for her gift of healing power. I am thankful that she answered the call and had the courage to share this with us all.
