56. Wendie Colter A Medical Intuitive Who Through Research is Redefining Healthcare by Training Nurses, Doctors to Laypersons to Read the Body's Biofields & Assess Disease, Emotional & Mental History

Wendie Colter, MCWC, CMIP® is an educator and practicing medical intuitive who redefines what the term Medical Intuitive, (known as human MRI's) now means, mostly through research, and training professionals like doctors and nurses to use these skills in their practice. As well as the everyday person who learns these skills so they can assess their own health. She has made it a more inclusive skill and talent. The goal being to make it part of the healthcare industry by putting the same skills in the hands of doctors and nurses. It will lessen conflict between patients, doctors, and insurance companies because it will lessen the expense of long-term treatments of mystery illnesses . These skills also work wonderfully with veterinarians who work with pets and also doctors who treat children or those who treat autism in children and adults, etc. Basically you are taught how to read the biofields of the body which some call chakras and auras which contain the entire history of someone's life, and it can tell a practitioner the root of the problem. After much testing in the medical community, she and her graduates went in blind to see patients with no information and were rated at 94% accuracy at finding problems the doctors had already diagnosed and gave additional information to help the doctor do a better job for the patient.

55. Roger Jahnke,OMD, An American Authority On Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Who First Brought Qigong & Tai Chi To The US, Tells Us How A 10 Minute Daily Routine Can Keep Us Out Of The Doctor's

 
 
Description:  Roger Jahnke, as a child was moved by his father's death and wanted to become a doctor when he grew up. Once there he learned the medical profession only studied disease but not wellness to prevent disease. His world changed once he learned about reading the Taoist book called Tao Te Ching, the ancient understanding of how human beings should live life. He left medical school and became a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, administering acupuncture and herbs. He later moved on to teach only Qigong & Tai Chi as a way to empower people  to start healing themselves through a daily practice at home, not just do it in a class. When you trigger the body through movement and breath medicine, the body understands what to do in order to expel toxins, and maintain healthy organs. This knowledge comes from the indigenous people of China, who understood how to commune with nature and therefore came to understand the body and what we need to do to tap into our own form of internal medicine.

54. Luke Blue Eagle Discusses His Tools for Healing, How to Replace Smudging in Hospital Settings, & How the Lack of A Spiritual Practice &Knowledge of Nature Causes Mental Weakness & Harms the Planet

 Luke Blue Eagle is an Indigenous Canadian who is the creator of natural healing products and discusses what healing tools he uses to heal others. He will discuss how ancient indigenous nations used crystals, an amplifier of energy, and how they have no other power, other than the healer, but has seen much misinformation about them in books today. He recommends meditation and other practices to make the healer strong and clear. He has also created an essential oils mix for smudging as the smoke of usual smudging is not possible in hospital settings where he was often called to work on indigenous people. He will also speak about the underestimated importance of having a spiritual practice. How lack of a spiritual practice creates mental weakness, misdirection, and confusion. How not being close to nature also adds to this lack of a spiritual practice and has been creating damage to the planet in several ways, to youth commiiting suicide at an alarming rate to mishandling the care of the physical planet, and aiding in its destruction.

Guest Bio: Luke Blue Eagle is a Saskatchewan Metis from Algonquin, Pawnee, Abenaki and French-Canadian ancestry.  His entire life has been dedicated to the healing of others. .He was not born on a reservation and did not suffer the horrors of the residential schools.  In fact, as a young man, his family never revealed his Native American ancestry to him, although they had four Native American ancestors, they did not adopt the culture or reveal it. At the age of 17 he left the family circle to study music at the Laval Université in Quebec City.   His native origins were later confirmed to him by a genealogist and from his family. This was followed by 25 years of quest during which he was trained in Ancestral Native American Health Care techniques. Not being officially Indian (i.e., not being recognized by the Canadian government as such) he has kept the door open to criticism and pettiness of all kinds. However, as such, it preserved him from the traumas that most Native Americans of his generation suffered.He has written 8 books and is the author of First Nations Crystal Healing: Working with Teachers of the Mineral Kingdom. He is the owner of a company called Invocation Canada for products he has developed. Luke Blue Eagle is part of a series on Gaia.com about Indigenous Crystal Healing Techniques on Gaia TV. He is a recognized expert on crystal use and has taught in North America, Europe, Mongolia, and Asia.Guest Contact:ancestralwisdomtoday.com , invocation.ca, https://blueeagecrystals.com, blueeagleshop.com, blog: aiglebleu.net/en/

48. Atava Garcia Swiecicki Teaches How Curanderas(Latinx Healers), Herbalists, & Ancestral Connections Can Be Used to Empower Underserved Communities Who Have Lost Their Healing Roots

Atava Gasrcia Swiecicki is the author of The CuranderX Toolkit Reclaiming Ancestral Plant Medicine & Ritual for Healing. IIn it she writes about the work of Latinx healers called curanderas(os) in the US, often teaching from within the holistic community but are not known about or reach underserved communities. She wants to provide access to these communities who have no access due to financial hardships. Spirit Bound Press says about her book: "centering on women of color and queer, trans, and nonbinary lives, . . . successfully demonstrates how to meld ancient wisdom with modern life, one in which fighting for justice is just what we do as part of our daily practice." It's the only book written to try to reconnect those who have migrated to US and their children, like Atava herself, whose ancestors are Navajo, Mexican, and Polish, to the teachings of ancestors or indigenous roots we all come from, and the need to reconnect us back to a form of healing that our souls can recognize. She discusses some of the techniques she puts into her practice, her line of herbal tinctures like Mend a Broken Heart, and speaks about some of the more renowned names in the field of curanderismo today.
