My connection to healing began with my
birth. My grandparents and parents used home remedies and herbal
preparations to take care of themselves, my siblings and myself.
My first experiences of healing were with newborn calves that had
lost their mothers for one reason or another and by the time I
attempted to help them, they were almost lifeless because they
did not receive the mother’s first milk or her nurturing.
To keep the calf alive, I poured a can of condensed milk down
into the calf’ s stomach and then proceeded to rub its body until
it responded, after which most of the calves usually chased me
around as if I was their mamma.
In the 1960s, I started reading Science of Mind material that was
based on the spiritual work of Ernest Holmes. I was drawn to the
knowledge concerning the mind ruling and influencing the inner
working of the body. I was very much influenced by a book called
“Psychocybernetics” by Maxwell Maltz and a book called “Psychopictography”.
A few years later I ran across a book titled Cry Baby Cry that
correlated the mental emotional states and their impact on the
body.
In the early 1970s I had a very extensive out of body experience
in which I was able to see people’s motives and their true
unexpressed desires and intention. This was overwhelming to me
because it came at a time when I had no previous knowledge of
seeing into another dimension and it frightened me a great deal.
Because that experience carried with it a great emotional
upheaval, I began searching to explain what had happened to me, I
read books of a psychological nature such as Reality Therapy by
Glasser, the works of Eric Berne, and many others. Today, after
learning a great deal more about metaphysics, I would attribute
that experience to the first opening of my third eye and crown
chakras. Through out the 1980s I continued reading Science of
Mind information and took four courses in the study of Science of
Mind.
Later I received attunement in the Usui Shiki Ryoho Form of Reiki
which is a hands on healing process of channeling the Reiki Ray
or healing energy that is the Universal Life Force. This life
energy comes from its source, through the attuned Reiki channel
and out into the body of the intended recipient bringing with it
comfort, ease, and greater health. Reiki is used in person or at
a distance. After practicing Reiki and receiving attunement in
first and second degrees of Reiki, I was attuned as a Reiki
Master Teacher in 1993.
In 1993, I attended the Institute of Neuro-Linguistic Programming
in Houston, Texas and became an N.L.P. Practitioner and as part of
that training. went to Albuquerque, New Mexico to take a course
in Hypnotherapy.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming is a large group of techniques that
are used in reprogramming the belief system by deprogramming any
false, detrimental beliefs and replacing them with positive, life
enhancing beliefs. Hypnotherapy is the art of guiding a person
into a trance state that allows the person to become aware of the
inner workings of the subconscious mind and to discover any
mental-emotional causes and conditions of ill health or
detrimental thoughts and actions that cause dis-ease, so that the
mind can be enlisted to assist the body to heal.
I learned Crystal Healing from a woman who had been married to a
Sioux Indian man and had lived on a Sioux Reservation where she
received her training from a Sioux Indian Medicine Woman.
After becoming an Ordained Minister with the Congregation Church
of Practical Theology out of Springfield, Louisiana, I Opened a
practice in Bryan-College Station, Texas where I practiced Reiki,
N.L.P., Hypnotherapy, and Crystal Healing.
I took a correspondence course from the Tree of Life School
called Natural Healing of the Systems of the Body that was taught
by an herbalist, Steven Horne. I also learned Muscle Testing
(Kinesiology) from Steven’s courses and from an herbalist in
Bryan, Texas. Muscle Testing is a process of accessing the
intelligence of the cells of the body by assessing the strength
or weakness of a particular muscle or muscle group which denotes
the condition of a particular body part.
In the midst of practicing these modalities, Shamanism began to
present itself to me and the universe sent me many teachers of
native ways. Shamanism is an eclectic healing modality which
utilizes many different forms of healing. The Shaman will use any
type of healing practice that he or she deems necessary to bring
about health in a person. Shamanic healing includes mental,
spiritual, or physical means such as mental-emotional and
spiritual counseling, enlisting spiritual assistance through
prayer, and the use of herbs, foods etc.
After receiving a soul retrieval from a Shaman who was also a
Unity Minister, and being advised to follow a Shamanic path, I
was trained in the art of Shamanic Journeying from a Course In
Shamanism presented on tape by a man named Ed Gross. I was
trained to do soul retrieval by a Shaman in College Station,
Texas. My early Shamanistic practicing was guided and directed by
a Mayan woman by the name of Kitsia High Eagle Feather. I have
done many Soul Retrievals and have utilized N.L.P. skills to help
the retrieved parts to overcome the difficulties that caused them
to depart from the person, so they can more easily be
reintegrated into their human.
