knowing where the pet came from and what experiences they went through can influence their behaviors today.

Nala is a female dog, adopted 6 weeks prior to this phone reading. She was hesitant to be affectionate or receive

affection from the family. I asked her why. She told me she didn’t want to get close since she wouldn’t be staying too long. She thought she was in just another foster home…

not realizing this was a permanent placement. I explained to her that this is her home, and the family loves her. My

client on the phone started crying saying Nala was coming to her and laid down next to her. She was so happy…Nala

s I mention to Dr. Daniel Hoover (pg 26) in our video interview on healing, I’m amazed by the

cohesiveness and competency of not only Daniel, but his

SOHMA staff as well. He treats them very well, but leadership and cross-modality training are a priority. You know

this kind of competency when you see it – or feel it – and their results on pain eradication are through the roof,

making sure you know how to continue their guidance at home. They’re also trained in the greatest art of all, the

art of listening, so that your body can indicate to these

leaders who encourage us to find the healer within, or the love we feel we’re lacking – also inside of us the

In March 1999, at only 28 years old, I unexpectedly got sick and was diagnosed with 3 incurable illnesses. 16

years later I discovered a way to heal myself, and I began guiding others using this same approach, along with facilitating a powerful energy healing modality.

First, there are more ways, techniques and methods to

heal from illness and dis-ease than I can count. None are

“doing” to me. I’ll admit I was even suicidal for years just wanting it all to end. I believed my body was broken and

no doctor or specialist could fix it…or fix me. I was told I would be sick the rest of my life.

During the lunch break, minutes after clearing his

blockage, he got a call from a random number… a job recruiter, who on the spot offered him a job paying $10,600 a month which is… $6,400 after taxes! He was in tears.

ne morning my husband of two decades asked me if I was pinching him while he slept. Although there were numerous times I would have liked to, I was not the culprit to his problem. Cubital and carpal tunnel syndrome were the cause of the nighttime pinching brought on from performing heavy manual labor for two decades. Multiple surgeries were the recommended solution. Coming out of one of the surgeries, Husband was in pain that was incongruous with what he normally felt coming out of surgery. The hospital staff repeatedly injected him with dilaudid, morphine, dose after dose and nothing killed the pain. We were sent home saying to give it time where it just got worse. Nothing killed the pain. No opiates. No nerve medication. Nada. Husband was living in a level nine to ten pain twenty four hours a day. For the next six years we tried to figure out the pain all while fighting an abhorrent workers compensation system. We tried repair surgeries, every pain management doctor and medication to get some relief with no improvement. Husband only left the house for his pointless, no solution, monthly doctor ap-

So I began a hunt for chiropractors who had specialties that didn’t just crack your neck. Doctors of chiropractor who have studied internal systems of the body, our central and peripheral nervous systems, the things that run our entire bodies! They ran tests on Husband and found out so much more about what was going on with Husband and the possible reasons for his pain than we ever did while working with medical doctors. Again I was happy to find hope yet so frustrated that I was just learning about it now. Even more frustrated that so many others in pain had no idea of as well. When I wasn’t trying to be a medical savior with Husband, I had started going to psychic fairs throughout California for fun. Most of the readings I received pertained to Husband and the recommendations were mainly for him to see energy healers. I had no idea what that meant so I researched and learned about energy; primarily the energy that runs in your body. I researched as much scientific work I could in order to validate what they were claiming. Learning quantum physics enabled me to understand why energy healers worked although there are endless different ways and modalities energy workers can do their work. I became a holistic guinea

pointments. All the professionals would give us a pity look and say good luck. Husband and I had numerous serious talks of cutting off the arm to possibly eliminate the pain or suicide as the alternatives to trying to live the rest of his life in this type of pain. For most of my life, although I didn’t have a personal need for doctors, I believed if I needed one, they would have the solution. That was until I learned how many people are living with conditions doctors have no more answers to than my dog, much less solutions. I became disheartened by the medical system we have in this country. One doctor quietly suggested I start doing some research on my own. So I researched the syndrome doctors claimed Husband had and syndromes with similar symptoms to Husband’s. I read endless forums to find a solution. I researched the body and learned just how little I knew, but more disappointing was how little the doctors seemed to know. I felt completely let down by the entire medical system. Until one day a dear friend recommended trying a holistic chiropractor. This is how I began learning about western and eastern medicine. Our first appointment with the holistic chiropractor opened up an entire new world to us. Was the pain gone when we left after one appointment? No. Was there a teeny tiny bit of relief? Yes. But was there now hope? Yes. Was there now a rabbit hole to find a solution? Possibly.

pig going to energy healers, chiropractors, psychics, biofeedback, anyone that might have solutions. I corralled Husband to practitioners I felt might work for him. He was not one to want to drive in a car, have anyone touch him or spend money so when he requested follow up appointments, I knew there had to be something to it. Husband was feeling tiny bits of progress from the treatments and almost every practitioner would give some tidbit or advice that we could ponder and put in our toolbox and use during our transformation. Every practitioner asked us if we meditated so I learned everything I could about how important meditation is to healing so Husband and I started developing our own meditation practices as well. One day in my hunt I came upon BOTI Studios (Beautiful On The Inside) in Anaheim and met the proprietor Lucinda Collis. In addition to teaching me more about energy, Lucinda taught me the importance of developing a spiritual side for myself was just as important as the healing of the mind and body. Healthy practices in all three areas are necessary to be as healthy and pain-free as possible. BOTI is the type of place I wish I would have found early in my journey with Chiropractors, Hypnotherapists, Energy Workers, Spiritual Counseling, Feng Shui practitioners, Biofeedback, classes and meditations all there to help on the journey of healing, developing and balancing the mind, body and spirit.

It truly is not easy at all, but it may be simple. Simply set the intention, follow through with the end goal in mind

by breaking it down into bite-sized and easily attainable

segments, then create the action steps to achieve those attainable segments or goals. Simple.

Now let’s take a look at this more closely. Sometimes we

just don’t know what the end result could look like, we just

know we aren’t happy in the here and now. Or, we may think we don’t have what it takes to achieve what we secretly

the action steps are more manageable and the movements forward are more easily realized and appreciated.

of re-imagining the outcomes that initially caused us to

feel negatively about ourselves, and instead assign more positive outcomes that give us joy, excitement, pleasure, and gobs of positive feelings about ourselves, then we actually change the vibrations we send out to the uni-

So, how does this work, and how do we begin this doover of a life situation?

What if.... Instead of just replaying those segments of life, those

memories of failures, grief, mistakes we’ve made, for the habitual purpose of kicking ourselves and reliving the

shame, guilt, or frustration, we instead use these memo-

write about it going differently, or by retelling the story

from a different angle, the way we “hoped” it had gone? Yes, “storytelling” in some cultures is a huge and powerful ritual. It can allow us to dream big and to live through

the story as we could only have dreamed of that outcome before. There is a very important benefit to storytelling. In order to manifest anything, we must FEEL into the

He is a Doctor of Chiropractic, licensed Acupuncturist, Master Herbalist, certified Chiropractic Sports Medicine Physician, Ironman, 5th degree black belt in Shaolin Kempo, and Tai Chi Master. He is a proud husband and father of two children. In an effort to create a more comprehensive holistic approach to healing, Dr. Hoover founded SOHMA Integrative Health Center in Long Beach, CA in 2014, followed later by another office in Lakewood. His mission is to help people get out of pain, into balance, and back to play – which he and his team do with great regularity. Check out our full video interview at RadianceMM.com. - SW

What does a visit for one of your patients look like when they come into your office? The consultation, where we ask what’s their chief complaint?

Are there any other health concerns, whether or not it’s

related to the reason why they came in? Because as you know, everything’s connected. What could be contrib-

uting factors? But most importantly, we ask them, “How does this affect their lives?”

Not being able to get on the ground – or off – or play

with their children, hobbies… we really want to get their

emotional why? Why is it important to them? Sometimes, people come in because their spouse told them to be there. Very commonly, we’ll take some digital X-rays,

because “seeing is knowing, not seeing is guessing.”

And that allows us to see what’s going on and rule things out. Depending on the urgency, we may or may not treat them that day. Then I like to have the team go over each

patient’s case: you can hear from the physical therapist, the nurse practitioners, chiropractors, and acupunctur-

ists – all these people’s brains and hearts come together for you. So when the patient comes back for the next

visit, we give them the report of findings, or the doctor’s

report, and we give our best recommendations and show them the path forward.

together, partly because it started with me as a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic, where I learned all the hard sci-

ences, the physical sciences, and I’m also a licensed acupuncturist, where we learn about chi and the movement

of energy. So, if a patient comes in and they’ve got a disc pushing on a nerve, I’ll talk to them about how, mechanically, we need to take the pressure off of that nerve, but at the same time, we want to move the energy; we want to fine-tune with the acupuncture and other energetic healing arts.

How are SOHMA’s patients benefiting from your latest modalities? Our holistic approach can start with our chiropractic department, which helps remove the interference of the nervous system. We’ve also got

functional medicine, where we look at the person’s labs, and we’ll do an analysis and recommend or prescribe

White Light and

Christ Consciousness Have you ever felt the Divine as a physical sensation? Some people say it feels like a light touch, the brush of a feather, or even an embrace from an angel’s wings. Others say it feels like a rush of euphoria. Each person has a unique experience, but it is always one of a loving, healing frequency that transcends human understanding.

SCAN ME!

When we are filled with the Divine white light of Source, there is literally nothing that is negative that can withstand its unconditional love vibration. Feeling this “agape” type of love, along with the calming peace and etheric wisdom of Christ Consciousness, puts your body, mind and soul in their highest meditative state. That’s why this 42nd step of OM is so special. When I am getting close to completing my OM Energy Clearing session for you, I fill your body with Divine white light, allowing its heal-

ing glow to be absorbed in every fiber of your being. This white light, paired with the highest Divine knowledge of Christ consciousness, is the perfect way to begin your day in harmony with yourself and the world. Much of what we experience comes from our own frequency. We attract that which we vibrate too, like our own heavenly song being sent out to the Universe. When we are filled with the Light of Source, we are helping ourselves to act as the Divine beings we are, with love, compassion, and purpose. You can experience calm and peace in our uncertain world.

You are not meant to keep yourself in a tiny box following rules that someone else made up, working yourself to death for someone else’s dream.

This is your one precious life. You are here to express

yourself! And you can only do that by engaging with all of you. Engaging with your wholeness.

There is no such thing as a “work-life” balance anymore –

in today’s world, we need a “Whole-Life” balance. We need to bring our whole selves into all the areas of our lives.

We are waking up to the knowing that our human life is

significantly void without an experience with our Original Wisdom. Original Wisdom is the inherent intelligence in all Beings that is rooted in unconditional love.

“I don’t believe people are looking for the meaning of life alive.”

The fulfillment of your unique entelechy unfolds as you align your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with the

highest part of yourself, your Original Wisdom. This is a personal process of expansion and expression. This is Whole Life Mastery ©

natural antipyretic for prevention even when there is no sign of fever or other symptoms that may come slowly and exaggerate with time. Early administering of antipyretic can calm the COVID-19 such that it does not explode

Covid-19 is elevated by fever, causing hemolysis that brings on various com-

Journey into the Realms & Restore Your Avatar

ealms across the Tree of Life are falling to darkness, and the Bifrost bridges that once connected

them have all but disappeared. A shadow has spread, fueled by fear, pain, and sorrow. Only the Ava-

tars lost within the Outer Realm of Earth can restore the balance. In a desperate attempt to save the Realms, an ancient wizard and his allies have found a way to unlock a portal to call forth these heroes, returning their true powers to them. Your majik is needed. Join them, and become the hero you were meant to be!

Welcome to Inner Realms Journey, a new online inner transformational experience that combines mythic storytelling, meditation, energy awareness, ancient majik, and more to help you discover your true

source self- your Avatar form. Over 18 years in the making, Inner Realms Journey is a completely new

format of personal transformation that allows you to unravel your limitations and remember your original purpose on the Realm of Earth. Users experience new levels of vitality, creativity, intuition, embodiment, and joy through new depths of understanding themselves.

To begin, you’ll be guided through several fun meditation experiences available on our website.

Biosuit

First, you’ll activate your Biosuit, a network of majikal

energy that flows through your physical body. It acts as

the bridge that connects you to your Inner Realms experience. Some ancient traditions alluded to this system, calling it the aura, chakras, and meridians. Yet there is

much more to it awaiting your discovery and activation. Your Biosuit harnesses and conducts life force, called

Mana, through you to bring vitality and majik. Through the Biosuit, you can embody the full potential of your Avatar into your life.

Avatar

Once your Biosuit has been activated, it’s time to con-

nect to your Avatar, the mythical, epic persona you’ll get to create and develop. Your Avatar form becomes the

new guiding concept that will inspire your life. Most of us

have been taught to seek fulfillment through external motivations, yet they often leave us still feeling empty. The

Avatar is the fulfillment of your dreams and all that you’ve been seeking outside of yourself.

It’s a crystal clear vision of your higher self, beyond

the human stories we’ve learned, that reveals your true 44

MAY-JUN 2022

potential. It emerges from the depths of your imagination and helps you integrate all that you are. As your Avatar becomes clear to you, your passion, purpose, joy, and

gifts to the world reveal themselves. From this place of

integration, you become a conduit of authenticity, integrity, values, and truth.

Inner Realms Sanctuary Your home Realm, the majikal place that your Avatar

emerged from and returns to between it’s travels. Through guided meditation you will create your Inner Sanctuary

using a majikal book. This sanctuary can be anything you

want it to be. It includes a landscape of your design as well as a home sanctuary structure, such as a palace, temple, cave, home, or anything else you might imagine.

Portal

Once your Inner Sanctuary is created, you will make a portal so that you can enter and exit easily. Using the

Mystic Stone of Portals, you will create your very own

unique portal within your Sanctuary. This will allow you to travel to other Realms across the Cosmic Tree of LIfe.

Traveling the Realms

Traveling the Realms across the Tree of LIfe is not as

easy as it once was. You will be guided through using

the Chalice of the Bifrost, which contains pure BiFrost

essence. This will allow you to travel to different places

across the Tree of Life, so that you may help find a way to save the Realms from the shadow.

Allies

You won’t have to do this alone! The wizard and his

companion will guide you to your Animal Ally, a creature of majik and power, who can travel with you across the Realms and help you on your quest.

The Realms

What some may call dimensions, we call Realms. Every Realm is located somewhere on the great Tree of Life.

Some are in the upper branches, some in the roots, and some, like many Inner Sanctuaries and the Realm of

Earth, are located on the trunk. Each guided meditation

journey on our platform will take you to one of the Realms to explore mystical landscapes, meet creatures of power and majik, gather treasures, overcome challenges, and develop your Avatar.

Majik

Majik is the creative life force that arises from deep within you and emerges through your unique Avatar style. It is

how you manifest and experience your life. As you realize and embody your Avatar, the full potential of your majik can radiate into the world. The Realms, including the

special Realm of Earth, are in need of your majik! It’s time to reclaim and restore that unique essence within you and live it.

Inner Realms Journey Games, LLC. is on a quest to help millions live a more empowered, enriched, epic, and fun life while making a positive impact in the world. By signing up to take this journey, you’ll have access to our growing library of adventure meditations, which take you to places like the Elemental Realms, Angelic Realms, Faerie Realms, Realms of Lyra, Pleiadian Realms, the Underworld, and many others. You’ll also have access to supportive Trainings, Quests, and Daily Power Ups to live your Avatar life everyday. We offer programs and academic curriculums inspired by this experience as well.

Going Past Talk Therapy for More “A- Ha” Moments By Stephanie Risely

How Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavior Modification , Awareness Therapy, and Past Life Regressions can change you r perspective on the trauma of this lifetime. As my clients know, I don’t do “Complaining Therapy.”

Old fashioned talking therapy doesn’t change your brain; it simply reinforces the trauma that’s keeping you stuck. So instead, I do “Warrior Goddess Training” or “Spiritual Warrior Training” if you’re a guy.

Undoing this mess of bad brain programming takes time, and because Laura wants to change, she’s done all the heavy lifting. She’s healing.

But it wasn’t until the regression that Laura got the

“Ah-ha!” moment. An understanding that switched her perspective completely.

I asked: “Why did you choose this Laura life? These parents?”

“I’m a tall white guy,” she said. “I’m blond. I’ve got preppy

dock shoes on.” Her face puckered as if she was smelling

It’s fast, efficient, and doesn’t take forever. Last Saturday, I saw Laura, a beautiful 38-year-old virgin, who was born into a repressive female-hating religion

poop. “I’m a complete asshole! Wow!”

We went through that life as an entitled Harvard educated, white, ‘50s American male life. Everything was given

to this guy in that lifetime, and he did nothing with it. Ate, had sex, pooped, and felt entitled to own the world. And then he died, alone, selfish to the end.

Half-Asian and half-African, she is tall, stunning, and has luscious caramel-colored skin that looks sprayed-on. Smart educated, she teaches middle school.

From earliest childhood, Laura was hypnotized into

believing that because she was female, she was not only “less than,” but that she was evil. Just because she had a pussy. She knew she needed help, so she’d been in

talking therapy for years, and nothing helped her heal, open up and move on.

Laura had “Broken Parents,” who shamed her about her own sexuality. “You’ll go to hell if you have sex!”

On top of that, she cowered as she watched her father

beat her mother. And Laura couldn’t help when her poor

When we went to the “In Between,” and I took her to the place where you choose the next lifetime, she under-

stood exactly why her soul chose her present life. The life of a non-white female, born to “Broken Parents.”

“Wow,” she said. “I needed a challenge. I totally get it now. I was so awful in my past life!”

“Can you forgive your parents completely now?” I asked. “Absolutely.” And that change in perspective is the beginning of Laura opening up to her own Power, her Divine Femininity, her fabulous sexuality. It’s a process, but it’s doable.

mother didn’t fight back. Instead, her mother just took it because her religion taught her that she deserved to be beaten. “It’s God’s way.”

Find your Power. Find Yourself. Know Yourself. Step into you r Heart.

hat does it mean for you to find your power? Is your power your real heart desire?

Are you stressed in life? Do you feel stuck? Do you feel good when other people let you know how good, rich, beautiful you are? These are wonderful compliments, but do you need them to believe in you? If so then, once in your past you created a belief that you are not good enough, not worthy enough. You started thinking if I had a lot of money or if I had that relationship my life would be so much better, and everything would change. With an assumption like that: I am not good enough (fear of failure). You are blocking the flow. Where is your power? You see, you gave your power away to money, to a person, to a situation. But nothing changed. Once those beliefs probably were helpful in the past. It may have protected you once. To change your life the first thing is, you must stop those beliefs. Here are 4 common negative believes: I am not worthy, I don’t belong, I am not capable, I am not good enough. You are here at this time, at this place, in this body for a reason. There is a big difference between creating the life you love, versus creating the life with no problem. You are so much more than you see in the mirror. You are a soul in a body. You are here to create.

One of my favorite quotes from Mike Dooley is: “You are not one of seven billion. You are one-of-a-kind, extraordinary, rare, and precious with a reach and power that would boggle the mind.” Be one with the higher you. To find your power, you must change your “old” beliefs. Create a new identity. What is my success? Hold your hand to your heart and ask yourself:” What would I like to create? What do I think about your creation? How does it feel?

Be aware of your Higher Self.

Work with your Higher Self. Let your Higher Self work for you. It’s knows what’s best for you. What would the person you want to become do? What is in the way? The word relationship was first found in 1390. It means bringing back-restoring. Bring your relationship back to you. Remember who you are! One of my favorite exercises is from Eckert Tolle: Ask yourself: “Who am I?” And then ask yourself: “Who is asking? Take your power and be the person you came to be here in this time on earth. Work with your heart. Act from your heart. Find your power.

Your higher vibration can be used against your lower vibration.

t Buddhamouse Emporium, we encourage visitors to take their time. Enjoy being in the positive energy of

ritual objects, the beauty of crystals and art, and the peace of mind that comes from being in a sacred space.

Experts tell us that our health can be measured by the

patterns and frequencies of light we emit at a cellular level.

When we meditate and work with our energy we are increasing our vibration and thus our physical, mental, and spiritual

well-being. Unfortunately, life circumstances - both local and global - can be overwhelming. It has been my experience

that meditation and mindfulness is core to quieting the mind and reducing agitating thoughts. Though we are not always

able to change what happens to or around us, we most definitely can define how we respond.

When asked how to begin a meditation practice, I suggest

exploring the multiple methods available and landing on the

one that best suits your needs. Find what anchors you to the

present moment. It could be sound, smell, touch, sight, or even taste. By using our physical senses, we can connect with our

energetic selves and experience periods of time referred to as Samadhi. Samadhi can be defined as a moment of bliss where you feel completely connected to everything around you. For me, it feels like a dimensional shift where my body, mind, and spirit are liberated from all fears and desires.

Sometimes it happens completely by accident, like being in awe of nature, or it can come with time and practice. In

whatever way it appears, Samadhi can be life altering! As physical beings, we typically only experience it for short

periods of time because we must return to the responsibili-

ties of society and survival. However, with time and practice, we can work to create opportunities for longer and/or more frequent possibilities.

At Buddhamouse, we want to help you on this journey. We offer many spiritual tools such as singing bowls, crystals, ritual objects, books, and body adornment. And now we have opened a new feature to enjoy! The Tranquility Room is an immersive experience that integrates crystals, art, statuary, and sacred sounds. We invite you to spend some time in the room and feel your body respond to the ambiance and the 417 Hz chanting by Tibetan monks. 417 Hz is one of the Solfeggio frequencies which originated with the Gregorian monks and is said to eliminate negativity and promote connections to the higher self. Come and visit our sacred space. Take time to relax, browse, and experience the Tranquility Room. Realize the potential of Peace, Beauty, and Wellbeing in your life. We hope to see you soon!
