My Spiritual Journey
In Breathwork our body always brings up the “right” material for us to be integrated in a given moment for healing to begin.
Unreleased energy can produce actual physical blocks within muscles and organs. Each area of tension in the body blocks the natural flow of energy, creating a sense of disharmony and chronic muscular tension. This is often the cause of dis-ease in the body and mind.
Most people have had trauma in their lives. It might have been the loss of a loved one, physical, verbal or sexual abuse, maybe divorce, the list is endless.
My years of dealing with my own childhood trauma has shown me that old wounds and the painful conclusions we have come to, can be healed.
At a young age, I witnessed magical healings, including my own by Christian Science practitioners. My journey within continued to deepen after two near-death experiences, both in my 20’s; one when my kidneys failed and the other when I almost drowned. After my kidneys failed and I lay in a hospital bed in a coma, I recall rising above the bed, looking down at my body and hearing the words, “It’s time to go”, over and over. I went through a tunnel towards the light. It was the same when I nearly drowned.
These experiences left me with the profound experience of going beyond human boundaries, going beyond the mind, feeling joy, peace and light, recognizing that there is something beyond this physical world. When this happened, I knew there were no boundaries to my being.
Years later I became a student of Psychic Healer Joseph Martinez in San Francisco. I witnessed mystical, magical healings including one on my daughter who had hepatitis. The whites of her eyes were yellow and as she lay in the midst of Joseph’s healers, the yellow turned to white.
Looking back through the years, I see the shaping of my own spirituality and clairvoyance capacities and special abilities in psychic awareness growing stronger. My abilities were becoming known to me through teachings with remarkable spiritual leaders, healers, neurophysiologic and psychoneuroimmunology therapists.
In 1964, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi gave me a mantra. When I crushed my ankle in a skiing accident it was the mantra that kept me sane through the excruciating pain. This was the beginning of my daily meditation practice.
Years later I went to a brilliant Reichian therapist and learned that the reoccurring nightmare I’d been having for 45 years had left an imprint in my subconscious mind. With the Reichian therapist, I was able to bring the fearful episode to consciousness as an adult and the nightmare was never dreamt again. A healing had taken place!
This led me to study with Reichian masters and eventually became a Reichian Therapist.
My years of working with clients with different modalities of body-mind therapies; using my intuitive gifts and witnessing the “letting go” of trauma, has proven to me that as my grandmother taught me so long ago, that we all can heal ourselves.
Over the years my spiritual journey was enhanced by living with Swami Muktananda Paramhansa, one of the great spiritual leaders of our time. The map of my journey became crystal clear: my destiny was to be a healer.
I have the clairvoyant perception of seeing, hearing, and sensing the trauma of the person in front of me. This ability has served me and my clients over my years as a Reichian Breathwork therapist and Shamanic Healer.
My fortune has been in the enlightened, wise teachers who have been in my life.
I am grateful for their teachings, faith in me and their unconditional love.
