When I awoke in the morning, I knew that I had been blessed with ideas so important that I needed to share them with the world. I couldn’t keep them only to myself, but first I needed to get a handle on how to implement them.
T H E EMER G ENT FO U R PATHWAYS APPRO AC H I began asking questions about—and then adding philosophies to—my nighttime revelation. Lacking the existence of a multidimensional go-kart, I wondered how I could transfer energy, which is information that moves, between pathways. I was already an expert on chakras, and I knew that those subtle energy bodies more than suffice when it comes to shifting energy and healing. After all, they can change physical, or measurable, energy into subtle, or immeasurable, energy. I quickly began using them as “elevators” to move between the pathways. My next consideration was how to help people best interact with their chakras as well as the pathways. Intuition became the key there. I also knew I needed to devise a way to track the energies necessary to heal an issue, no matter the pathway, and to figure out how to understand what was happening on several of the pathways at once; the concept of energy mapping was born. All of these concepts together became the first edition of this book. As time went on, it became obvious to me that we live within more than one overarching reality, or universe. My research revealed two cosmologies. I discovered an original universe that was full of hope and light. When I imagined myself as an extension of this universe, which I called the heavenly universe, I experienced a lightness of being and greater healing for myself and my clients. When I linked only to the everyday universe, which I labeled the shadow universe, I felt dark and dreary; standing in this universe, it was tougher to create transformation. Because I could now perceive this differentiation, I began interweaving the cosmological and energetic paradigms of two coexisting universes into my teachings. Students and clients responded enthusiastically. What I liked best about the emerging system was that it afforded vital choices to people requiring healing as well as to practitioners. For instance, I remember interacting with a client who had a hereditary kidney disease. She’d already had one kidney removed and the second one was failing. Every member of her immediate family had been born with the same dysfunction, which meant they couldn’t be donors. Because my client introduced herself as an “adamant allopath”—referring to allopathic medicine, the healing modality that involves prescription medications, surgery, and other interventions of modern medicine—I wondered why she was seeing me, an intuitive energetic healer. 11
