Can you explain how unaddressed negative emotions can contribute to illness, and how learning to release or transform these emotions played a role in your recovery? What practices do you recommend for emotional healing?** There’s nothing inherently wrong with any emotion. Every emotion serves a purpose. However, certain emotions have an unhealthy effect on your body. Scientific studies have shown that 15 minutes of stress lowers your immune system for 24 hours. Negative-based emotions (i.e. fear, guilt, depression, frustration) create unhealthy cells, which overwhelm the system and become toxic. A build-up of these “toxins” block the flow of energy, which leads to disease. Negative emotions create cells that are very gunky and sticky, which clog and block the healthy life force flowing through you. Studies have proven that depression is a greater cause of heart disease than smoking. The blood platelets in depressed people are stickier, which clog arteries and veins. Dr. Masaru Emoto’s scientific experiments proved how each emotion forms a different type of cell which has a specific effect on the body. For instance, the emotion of grief produces a discombobulated “slacker” cell that is dense. It can’t hold as much life-force energy (also known as prana, or chi). Since a grief cell is heavier, it has a lower vibration, or lower frequency, which produces stagnant energy . . . a swampy mess perfect for the breeding of disease. Emotions are held in specific areas of the body. We all tend to feel and hold grief in our chest area. You could be unknowingly creating a blockage in your chest if you are carrying a lot of grief. This could lead to a potentially dangerous situation, especially if you have heart disease or breast cancer in your family. Fibromyalgia often originates from unreleased fear held throughout the entire body. Continually feeling negative emotions weakens your body. Shame, guilt and self-hatred are the hardest emotions for the body to process, and cause the most damage. Your body can’t thrive, let alone heal, under the heavy weight of negative emotions. Fortunately, negative-based emotions and cells can be released through a variety of pleasurable activities such as laughing, meditation, walking, listening to music, etc. **PAA: Mind, Ego, and Soul in Healing: You’ve mentioned that the mind “always wants to be in charge” but doesn’t truly know what the soul needs, whereas the soul does. In the context of healing, how does one learn to “surrender the steering wheel” – shifting from the controlling ego-mind to the deeper wisdom of the soul? What changes have you seen occur when people make that shift and allow their soul (or higher self) to guide the healing process?** The soul is the animating force in the body. A soul is an etheric animating force that inhabits the body and acts through it. It is like the hand in a puppet. When the hand (soul) is removed, the puppet (body) collapses. When a person dies, the soul leaves the physical body but continues as an eternal spirit in a different dimension. Your mind is an incredibly powerful tool. It is important to remember, though, that it is just that—a tool. Your mind is intended to be a servant to your soul. Your soul is supposed to be in charge, not your mind. Most of us are utilizing the mind in ways never intended. Your mind doesn’t know the best way to find the right long-term romantic partner or how to achieve a fulfilling career. Your mind does not know how to be an excellent parent or partner. These are things that a higher consciousness—Divine Source, your soul—does know. A higher consciousness is intended to be in charge of your life. A higher level of consciousness knows what your soul intends to achieve in this lifetime, and how best to achieve it. A higher consciousness knows the best career and partner(s) for this life’s journey. The mind is designed to intuitively follow guidance from a higher consciousness on these matters. Although your mind wants to control everything, it is intended to serve your soul, not be in charge. We get in trouble by using our minds to “figure it out” and make decisions it is not equipped to make, such as where to live, how to make money, how to find like-minded friends, or how to heal. The world reflects what happens when our minds are in control. The results are rampant negativity, fear, materiality, greed, genocide, war, etc. The best way to achieve any goal is to hand it over to a higher consciousness. Your mind is designed to intuitively receive and follow guidance from a higher consciousness: your soul, Higher Self, Divine Source, God/Goddess. Remove your mind from behind the “steering wheel” and put a higher consciousness there instead. The mind is too fearful, limited and egoic to be in the driver’s seat. Allow this higher consciousness to guide and help you. Shift your mind into its intended role of “support staff” for your soul. Keep your mind excited and curious but not trying to grab the wheel and control the journey. ## Spiritual Connections and Guidance **PAA: Asking for Spiritual Help: You encourage people not to heal alone but to actively ask for help from their spiritual team – whether it’s guardian angels, spirit guides, or even loved ones who have passed on. Why is it so important that we invite assistance from these spiritual allies? In your experience, what happens when someone opens up to receive help from guides or angels, and how can a person start to build a relationship with their own “unseen” helpers?** Your guardian angels have many ways to assist you. The intent was always that you utilize their tremendous help. You do not live your life unassisted. There are endless ways guardian angels can help you. When you enlist the assistance of these loving beings, you can shift from 5 amps of power to 5,000 amps of power in an instant. Helping you is as easy as child’s play for them. The challenge is getting your resistant mind to go in the direction they are trying to guide you. They always honor your free will, so they will never force you to do anything. Here are a few of the many ways they can help once you’ve asked for their assistance: They download energies into you. If you have difficulty forgiving someone, they will continually send you the energy of forgiveness. They provide clarity. If you struggle to understand why the same difficult events keep occurring, they can help you understand the message behind these challenges. They provide protection. If you are traveling by plane or driving in unfamiliar areas, they can help you arrive safely to your destination. They soften triggers and help you unhook more easily. When you get caught up in negativity—criticism, judgment, anxiety—the guardian angels can help you shift to love-based thoughts and emotions. You emerge from the dark alleys of negativity more quickly and eventually stop entering them. They help you find awe in everyday moments. When asked, the angels can help you feel the wonder and joy in your everyday life. They help you eliminate stress and fear. The guardian angels can help you find relief from anxiety and worry. With their assistance you can live a happier, more confident, and more peaceful life. It may be easier to ask for help if you realize that every time you allow your guardian angels to assist you, they evolve because they are serving out of tremendous love. It’s a win/win for everyone, so ask away. **PAA: Connecting with Angels and Spirit Guides: After exploring physical and spiritual healing through Aboriginal wisdom, you co-authored Angels in Waiting: How to Reach Out to Your Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides, a guidebook that helps people connect with angelic assistance. What inspired you to write about angels and spirit guides? How does working with angelic help complement or enhance the other healing techniques you teach – for example, do you see a common thread between the Aboriginal emphasis on spiritual connection and the process of reaching out to guardian angels?** Working with angelic help complements healing, traditional and alternative. The Indigenous Australians also work with angels and spirit guides to achieve, and sustain, healing. The Aboriginal culture knows that angels and guides are happy to assist when you ask for their help. The angels and guides respond according to your soul’s intentions and the highest good of all. The Indigenous Australians realize angels and guides will not completely heal something if it is still needed for soul growth. For instance, fibromyalgia can develop from sustained fear and overstress throughout the entire body. If you have fibromyalgia, your angels and guides would not be allowed to heal the fibromyalgia until you released your fears and overstress. They would first help you become aware of your fears and then help you release these toxic, unhealthy emotions. Your angels would have permission to heal the fibromyalgia after you stopped creating fear and stress. They would help you with every aspect of the healing process. ## Cultural Wisdom and Global Consciousness **PAA: Honoring Indigenous Knowledge: The Aboriginal healers entrusted you and Gary with their healing secrets and asked that this knowledge be shared for the benefit of others. How do you ensure that you honor the Aboriginal culture and wisdom as you teach these practices internationally? What responsibilities and ethical considerations come with being a bridge for this sacred knowledge from one culture to the rest of the world?** The Indigenous Australians asked Gary and I to take their ancient healing wisdom out into the world because the “civilized world” does not understand how healing involves the body, mind and spirit. We are immensely grateful for the very generous gift of their 60,000-year-old healing knowledge. We emphasize the Indigenous Australians generously gifted the knowledge of their healing system out of compassion, love and desire to help others. Throughout the years, we have donated to organizations that specifically support Indigenous Australians, especially those in the Outback. **PAA: “Aboriginal Secrets of Awakening” – Your Transformative Experiences: Your second book Aboriginal Secrets of Awakening continues the story – sharing both the “powers” your late husband developed after his Outback healing (like telepathy and seeing inside the body) and your own spiritual awakening through those experiences. What does ‘awakening’ mean to you in this context? Could you talk about some of the transformative insights or abilities you personally gained during this time, and how they’ve influenced the way you live and help others now?** After my husband Gary passed, he communicated with me from the other side of the veil through various means. Over time, my abilities expanded to see, hear and telepathically connect to the other side. Because of this, my awareness of angels and spirit guides increased dramatically. When you know you are never alone and are loved beyond your wildest imagination, that changes everything. I became aware these benevolent angels would love to help us but need our permission first on this free-will planet. As I asked for their assistance, my life became easier, less stressful and more fulfilling. It. Makes. A. Huge. Difference. I wanted others to realize what a big game changer it was to lean on their angels for help for anything and everything. That’s why I wrote Angels in Waiting: How to Reach Out to Your Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides and Living Your Best Life with Help from Your Guardian Angel. **PAA: Higher Frequencies and Global Awakening: In recent interviews you’ve discussed how humanity is now being “bombarded with higher frequency energies” and undergoing a shift in global consciousness. From your perspective, what changes are you observing in people’s spiritual or healing journeys as these frequencies on the planet rise? How can individuals best align themselves with these higher vibrations – for example, to heal old patterns or elevate their awareness – rather than feeling overwhelmed by the turmoil that often accompanies big energetic shifts?** The world is engulfed in one crisis after another. Our planet appears to be heading toward disastrous consequences because we humans continue to foul our nest. Governments and economies around the world are crumbling. It’s hard to not feel fearful and hopeless with all this chaos. What’s important to keep in mind is there’s a bigger picture at play here; things are not as they appear. Everything is happening exactly the way it is for a reason. Our planet is going through birthing pains. Gaia is becoming a spiritual planet, and that means change is necessary. Big change. You chose to be here right now to help in these auspicious times as the planet shifts into higher consciousness. You came to help by increasing the energies of compassion, joy, and love. As you feel these emotions, their energies move through you and out into the world, adding to the collective. Where attention goes, energy flows. Are you focusing on the darkness and chaos of the world? Or are you noticing the good in people and especially those making a positive difference? Are you envisioning our planet in despair and destruction or as a peaceful harmonic world? There are many reasons for hope. One of the best things you can do is make life-affirming, compassionate choices every day. Do you buy organic eggs where the chickens are humanely treated, or mass-produced eggs from overcrowded, dismal conditions? We are in the beginning stages of the biggest collective awakening ever seen in the history of mankind. Around the globe people in very large numbers are quietly shifting into higher consciousness. When you have a higher consciousness, you think and act differently. You live from a state of love, with a strong desire to help those in need, with deep respect for our beloved planet and everything on her, and with acceptance of others. You’ll discover greater consciousness all around if you look for it. You’re not going to hear about it in the news, though. They are selling something else. Awakening to higher consciousness is what is going to save us. It’s happening right now on a grassroots level. And you’re a part of it—one of the forerunners. You are ahead of the bell curve. You are here to help shift the collective consciousness. As you love yourself and others, you change the planet. As you do that little extra bit each day, you’ll find inner peace, no matter what’s going on around you. **PAA: Your Core Wellness Philosophy: One reviewer of your work noted that it “resonates with a deep place in our soul, one of love, nurturing, and truth… acting as another breadcrumb on the path to our true selves and healing at all levels.” After all your experiences – from healing yourself and Gary, to working with Aboriginal elders, to teaching and writing globally – what do you feel is the most important message or insight about healing and spiritual development that you wish everyone could understand? In other words, if readers take away one key philosophy from your journey and work, what should it be?** You incarnated at this time to bring specific energies to the planet, such as compassion, forgiveness, acceptance and love. It is very important to pay attention to the types of energy your thoughts and emotions create. It is affecting you and everyone around you. Whenever you feel hopeless, anxious or angry, you are energetically adding those harmful, lower-vibrational frequencies to the collective. Whenever you are feeling happy, acceptance or love, you are raising the vibration of the collective. If you want to make a positive difference in the world, engage in small acts of kindness, compassion and unconditional love. You are here to bring more laughter, joy and peace. It would also be helpful to hold a vision in your mind of the world at peace and in harmony. Create peace in your life first. If you feel called to act against what is happening in the world, wonderful. Just react from your heart, and not out of fear and anger. If you respond with anger, they will push back. One by one, people worldwide are awakening, and living in more peace, love and compassion. Be patient and non-judgmental with those who are in the beginning stages of awakening. Create in your life what you wish to see in the world. **PAA: Thank you for sharing with us your journey and your wisdom, very much appreciated. ** --- ---
