Sharing an article that I wrote for a publication a few years back that pivoted my life for me to become a Spiritual Coach and teach Reiki. Enjoy.......

The Defining Moment

"Sometimes, our paths are clear to us from the beginning; other times, they’re spurred by a life-changing event. Bessie Estonactoc’s decision to start her business as a Spiritual Coach, surely falls within the latter category.

It was 2005, and Bessie’s aging mother, whose health was beginning to decline, had just come to live with her and her family in Hawaii. At first, things went smoothly — her mother was ecstatic to be living in “paradise,” surrounded by such beautiful landscapes — but this joy was short-lived. As the years passed, times got tougher.

As Bessie's mom entered her 80s, her health declined further, and tending to her needs became harder and harder. Bessie was stressed out and stretched thin between taking care of her and working at her full-time practice as a marriage and family therapist. Additionally, Bessie's husband had been laid off causing even more stress. When she had to cut her hours and her household income decreased, her deepest fear – losing everything she and her husband had worked so hard for – seemed imminent.

But then, a defining moment came to her one morning when her mother said, “Bess, I’m afraid to die.” Suddenly, her priorities became clear: she confidently replied, “Mom, I will be with you until your last breath. Don’t worry.” On a deeper level, she...Read More

What is Past Life Regression?

I was in Hawaii last month and held a workshop “Chakra Healing for the Soul Using Past Life Regression.” It was a powerful and insightful workshop, and the energy of the shifts that the workshop attendees experienced was palpable.

The attendees really took a deep dive into chakra healing, and they learned in the workshop that everything is energy, including old thoughts and programming from childhood that go even further back to our family lineages and past lives. Any anxieties, fears, or relationship challenges usually go back to family culture conditioning and ways of thinking which have been passed down generation after generation, until our soul is ready to break free from that patterning.

As human beings, we can learn so much about ourselves from past lives - about our relationships; how our chakras hold information within us about our relationships; and our physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental life.

One attendee went back to many generations to heal what she was to heal within her. Another attendee was able to finally break the generational trauma, and she now feels more peace and less anxiety and stress.

As an empath myself, I’ve always been intrigued about what other past lives I have lived in order to give me insight to my own human experience I am living now. Past life regression has provided me the ability to ‘follow the breadcrumbs’ and to shed light on how I want to live my life, as a liberated soul, knowing that life is filled with beauty AND challenges.

I was in meditation the other day and the Yin/Yang symbol came to my mind. ...Read More

The Embodiment of Chakra Healing

In my first blog post I shared about how the chakras are like floppy disks that carry the energy of our experiences from childhood, our adulthood, or even our past lives.

As a spiritual coach and hypnotherapist focused on chakra healing, my clients have been able to go back to a time in their life where they recalled times of feeling abandoned, fear, anxiety, grief, emotional, or physical trauma, etc. which manifests in their life in the unconscious present.

When I support clients to recall these times through hypnotherapy, they find that this energy is held in one of their chakras. Some examples are: feeling the fear of travel because it doesn’t feel safe (root chakra), unresolved grief of unsaid emotions and guilt (heart and throat chakra), fear of speaking up because they might be reprimanded or hurt (throat and root chakra), fear of moving forward into a loving relationship they deserve (solar plexus and heart chakra). This energy is VERY palpable in their body and is being manifested in the now.

The key to chakra healing is feeling safe to feel the old feelings and to acknowledge the thoughts and behaviors of the old feelings. When this happens, the client can choose to transmute the old thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to new thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that feel supportive and good. The embodiment of chakra healing has then been transformed in a dynamic way!

Knowing that the chakras are like floppy disks that carry energy from our past, have you experienced chakra healing to heal? Tell me about your experience. I’d love to know!

What are the Chakras, and what are the Benefits of Chakra Healing?

Chakras are spinning vortexes of energy radiating from the central nerve ganglia of the spine. There are seven main chakras in the body that correspond to organs along with glands in the endocrine system, in various bodily processes, such as breathing, digesting and procreating.

The chakras in our body also correspond to the psychological aspects of our life. Think of the chakras as floppy disks that contain programming about how we handle various aspects of our life, the experiences, traumas or challenges we’ve had in our childhood and even events from past lives. Imagine that the floppy disks plug into the ‘hardware’ of our physical bodies and are interpreted by the ‘operating system’ of our consciousness.

The study of chakras originated within the ancient Sanskrit systems of India and have been widely used in the western world to help balance one’s energy psychologically, spiritually and emotionally. The seven chakras in our body are the: root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye and crown.

Imagine as a child you had some fear to express your feelings, because if you did, you’d be punished or reprimanded. Growing up and into adulthood you continued to have that fear to express your truth thus having your throat chakra energetically blocked and afraid to speak up authentically in your relationships.
