CRASHING INTO REALITY
In an instant, my world had been radically turned upside down. I had just lost everything yet felt amazingly calm and peaceful, even happy. Just 24 hours before, my mind was racing with the terrifying thoughts that I might never walk again and was facing life as a quadriplegic with the possibility of someone taking care of my every need. Yet I was feeling happier than I had ever felt in my life.
I wasn’t taking any drugs, but everything was crystal clear and beautiful. Something profound had shifted in me, and I couldn’t figure out what. Everything in the moment was wonderful and perfect. What looked like a terrible tragedy turned into a great blessing and led me to the work I was meant to do, distant energy healing.
The Crash That Started it All
What led to this experience was a rainy night in Monterey, Ca. I got into the front seat of a taxi to take me home. Usually, I would get into the back seat of the cab. This simple decision probably saved my life.
We were on the freeway, and the driver stopped because of an accident in front of us. The next thing I know is that I am lying on my back, looking at the ceiling of the taxi. Someone had slammed into us at about 60 miles an hour, totaling the taxi.
I slowly looked around and couldn’t see the driver and thought he had been ejected from the cab. Then I heard a moan coming from beneath me. The brutal force of the crash had broken both our seats from their moorings. I was still in my seat, lying on top of the cab driver.
The quick decision at the beginning of the ride to get in the front seat was probably life-saving. If I had gotten into the back seat, I might not have lived due to the incredible force and damage done to the rear of the taxi.
The EMTs carefully put us in the ambulance and rushed us to the hospital. I was at the hospital for many hours, and they took what felt like dozens of x-rays. After reviewing the x-rays, the hospital sent me on my way, saying nothing was broken. Unfortunately, they missed something that would change my life forever.
When I got home, I felt like someone had used me for batting practice with a baseball bat. Every muscle in my body was screaming with pain.
Fortunately, I had studied Tibetan Qigong with an amazing Qigong Master, Zisheng Wang. Qigong is an ancient healing method that has been practiced for centuries in China and the Far East. Master Wang had studied for over 40 years in Tibet with his highly respected teacher, Khenpo Munsel.
I began to practice very simple Tibetan Qigong practices to help with healing. I couldn’t do much due to the pain. Recovery was slow, but month after month, I was getting better. After about nine months, most of the pain was gone, and it felt like things were almost back to normal.
About a year after the accident, I began to quickly lose the feeling in my arms and legs. The doctors at the previous hospital had missed a crack in the vertebrae, and suddenly the disks and parts of the vertebrae broke and punched deep into the spinal cord.
When I went to a neurologist, he said we have to schedule immediate emergency surgery, and I went into the surgery the next day. I had lost the ability to walk and also lost some other organ function.
After a complicated surgery, the neurosurgeon said I might never walk again. He said that I had a massive intrusion into the spinal cord. The surgeon had to pick pieces of vertebrae and disks out of the spinal cord. The MRI appeared like the spinal cord had been severed, but fortunately, it wasn’t.
How quickly life can turn around. One moment I’m walking around thinking I am this one kind of a person, and abruptly, that life was stripped away from me. Suddenly I’m not who I thought I was.
After surgery, I found myself in a profound state of awareness of what I would call unity consciousness for several months. Each moment was incredibly beautiful and exquisite. I could sense the oneness and connectedness of all life. I saw that space was alive and vibrating. Normally my awareness was focused on the objects in space but now was more aware of this glorious space than the objects. Every moment I had this love, bliss, peace, appreciation, and gratitude welling up within me. It wasn’t something that I had to think about because it was spontaneously arising every moment.
This new state of being was so radical and amazing that I told some people that I would rather be a quadriplegic in this new state of awareness than go back to my old way of being and being healthy.
What I realized is that everything that I ever thought I was suddenly was ripped away from me, and my mind couldn’t identify anymore with the old personality that it had constructed. I was now happier than I could ever imagine. This incredible new state of mind made me realize how much pain and suffering I was previously in and that much of humanity was in the same condition.
Recovery
Soon after surgery, I felt a new mysterious energy coursing through my being, and I was beginning to heal. For about three months, I would sometimes spontaneously start crying for quite a long time. These were tears of joy, and I was releasing much trauma and repressed emotion that had been stored in my mind and body from my accident and other trauma.
Again, I used my Qigong training to heal. At first, I couldn’t do very much and couldn’t stand to practice, so I would lie on the bed and do some visualizations. Then a little later, I would sit on the bed, propped up by the wall, and do some simple arm movements. These practices and the newly experienced mysterious energy that was flowing though my body, facilitated my healing.
I had to learn to walk again. There were several difficult years of recovery. My legs felt as if they had been filled with sand, which is common in spinal cord injuries. Each tiny step was a struggle, but I was so grateful that I could walk again. About three years after surgery, I could walk fairly normal again.
The incredible sense of well-being that I felt after surgery began to slowly dissipate over several months, and I began to observe my old egoic mindset slowly return. This was the most challenging part of recovery, but a part of that initial experience is always with me. It’s possible if I stayed in that altered state of consciousness, that I would never have done this work because it was so blissful all the time.
Even though I could now walk, I would quickly tire and couldn’t do much physically. I had used up my savings and needed to do something to try and make an income. I couldn’t hold down a regular job because of the severe exhaustion of doing simple things.
After several years I thought I would try doing some healing work. I had studied various alternative healing methods for my own healing but never imagined I would or could do healing work for others. It was almost as if the universe was forcing me to try the healing work.
At first, I started working on some friends in person, and they said they would feel better. Then I thought I would try helping them from a distance. The reason I tried this is that my teacher, Master Wang, would go to Tibet and transmit energy to groups of people in the United States. The effects of his healing were as powerful and effective as when he did in-person sessions. When I tried working on people at a distance, they said they were seeing great results.
This led me to the work that I do now, which is Qigong distant energy healing. I believe that my experience of knowing that we are all one and connected overcame my belief that distance would be a barrier to sending someone energy healing over great distances.
Distant Healing
Moost people don’t believe in distant healing and wonder how it can possibly work. There are now dozens of studies that show the effectiveness of distant healing.
Daniel Benoir MD reviewed 61 studies of distant healing. He wrote, “Distance, even thousands of miles, does not appear to limit the effects of healing. Significant effects of distant healing are demonstrated randomized controlled trials in humans, animals, plants, bacteria, yeasts, cells in the laboratory, and DNA.”
At the University of Paris, a team led by Alain Aspect made an incredible discovery and found that under certain circumstances, some subatomic particles were able to communicate instantaneously with each other no matter how far apart they were from each other. It didn’t matter if they were millions of miles apart.
Nicolas Gisan later duplicated these findings and concluded that some particles appeared to be communicating at the mind-boggling speed of 20,000 times the speed of light.
Many sages throughout the ages have said that we are all one, and now some quantum physicists have reached the same conclusion.
Well known quantum physicist David Bohm concluded the reason why subatomic particles can stay in contact with each other despite vast distances is not because they are transmitting some unknown signal back and forth but because the separateness of the particles is an illusion. Bohm surmises that at a deeper level of reality, the particles are not individual entities but are extensions of the same fundamental something, and everything in the universe is infinitely interconnected.
All of this fits in with my altered state of consciousness after surgery. I could see this vast shimmering energy field extending in all directions and permeating every thing. This understanding helped me realize that distant healing is possible, and it is only an illusion that we are separate. We are all part of this one consciousness.
The Secret of Gratitude
Many people have written about the importance of gratitude. Different spiritual traditions teach about the major significance it plays in spirituality.
The reason I feel gratitude is incredibly important in our spiritual development is because when I had the altered state of consciousness after the accident, there was this continuous upwelling of gratitude in every moment.
I didn’t have to practice or think about gratitude. I was gratitude. I was grateful for everything. Not being able to walk, I was grateful for being alive, for being able to see, to be able to talk. I was grateful for people, nature, everything. Being alive is such an incredible blessing.
Gratitude is our essence, and by practicing it, we become more aligned with our true nature. No matter how desperate our circumstances are, there is something we can be grateful for. Continually practicing gratitude replaces the negative thoughts we have about a difficult situation. It’s not meant to deny difficult circumstances but can uplift us and help us find solutions to our problems.
I know when people are in pain, it is difficult to see the beauty in things. Many wonderful things happen to people who have difficult lives. There have been many heart openings from people suffering with AIDs. The pandemic has made people realize what is important in their lives and not be so caught up in materialism. If I didn’t have the accident and trauma, I doubt I would be doing this healing work now.
I know that suffering can lead us to freedom. Many people have reported life-changing experiences from severe circumstances. It takes the mind away from identifying with what we have to what we are. Sometimes in these difficult situations we just have to let go and surrender because we don’t have any control. In this letting go and surrendering, we can see the world as it actually is instead of how our minds project it to be.
The universe is a loving place, and love is what holds it together. Of course, there are negative things happening, but that love is always available to us. We disconnect from that love with our minds,but it is always available to us though all the wonderful practices of prayer, meditation, mindfulness, Qigong, yoga, Tai Chi, etc.
We need to keep peeling off the layers of dust that cover our minds so that we can see the peace and love that is everything and everywhere. It is like removing the clouds so the radiant sun can shine through.
The Times We Live In
We are living in times of tremendous change and turmoil. The pandemic, war, the economy, etc. have caused much stress and fear among many people.
I feel this time we are living in is what some ancient traditions have prophesized. We are living in a time of great transformation. Despite all the chaos, we are receiving a tremendous amount of light and energy to help us transform to a more loving and compassionate people.
There are new spiritual teachings being revealed and unparalleled technology to assist us.
Home Healing
While doing the distant healing work, I discovered a unique process to greatly enhance people’s healing and well-being. I developed Energetic Feng Shui to clear, balance, and harmonize the energy in a home.
In China, Feng Shui has been used for centuries to help people with all aspects of their lives, including health, finances, and relationships. Many people and businesses in the West now employ Feng Shui practitioners to help them enhance their lives and businesses.
The Energetic Feng Shui helps do this without having to move a lot of furniture and replace items in the home.
Animal Healing
I have always loved animals, and when I was younger thought, I would like to be a veterinarian, although I never followed through with it.
In my journey, I started doing distant healing with animals and found the healing was very effective for all kinds of animals. I have worked with dogs, cats, horses, birds, and more.
I have been able to help many animals at rescue shelters, homes, and other facilities. Once I was asked to do a healing at a zoo for an orangutan and a lion. The lion had been put on anti-depressants because he was very anxious around crowds.
Animals tend to be easier to heal than humans because they don’t have all the mental blockages that humans have.
I like to work with the pet owner and the pet together because of the strong energetic bond between them. Animals can be very sensitive and can absorb the stress and anxiety of the owner, causing the pet to become ill.
Blessed
I feel incredibly grateful and blessed to have some extraordinary people in my life who helped and supported me through this journey and recovery. Without their help, I would never have been able to succeed.
My beloved partner, Sheila Campeau, was with me from the beginning and took care of me during recovery, and supported me throughout this journey. This process was more challenging for her than it was for me. She believed in me when others thought I was out of my mind for trying to do what I do.
I wouldn’t be doing this work without the Tibetan Qigong teachings of Master Zi Sheng Wang, who showed me what was possible. Master Wang now resides in Tibet.
Now
So in losing almost everything, I gained my mission and what I was meant to be doing this lifetime, which is Qigong Distant Energy Healing.
Over the years, I have been blessed to work with thousands of people all over the world to help them easily banish their pain, illness, stress, anxiety, insomnia, addictions, and assist them in regaining their health and well-being.
I offer affordable monthly healing programs for individuals, families and pets, that include the Energetic Feng Shui. You can live anywhere in the world to participate.
