Healing Energy for Everyone with Vivien Schapera and Toni Lontis

• Welcome and intro – last show in this series; Listening live on FB, LI website, like subscribe and email

• Incredibly lucky to have Vivien Schapera on the show with us for the next couple of weeks where we will delve into all things healing energy for everyone. But before I introduce you all to this wonderfully experienced and wise woman, here’s a bit about Vivien at Work and at Home

In 2020, Vivien published an award-winning, ground-breaking textbook, The Complete Guide to Crystal Surgery, introducing the world to a new form of crystal healing. 

When not teaching, healing or writing, Vivien can be found gardening, cooking and spending time with her two granddaughters. Other interests include travel, photography and making YouTube videos. Vivien lives in Cincinnati, OH with her husband and two cats.

Good evening Vivien and welcome to the show, we are so glad you are here! Before we get on with this show I want to quickly recap about last weeks show. The Boomerang came back, and I’d like to get Vivien to tell the audience about this – its so important that we show the power of this work and how it “shows up” in such uniquely creative ways in peoples lives.

The Alexander Technique, Crystal Healing and The Life-Changing Power of Yes

First Half:

Neil and Vivien give a demonstration of the Alexander Technique

• We explain what's happening to the psychophysical system

• explain how that progressed into becoming a healer -- development of intuition and mental telepathy, as well as the energy field

.... and then coming to the present day -- when I look back on the road traveled, I see the theme of "Yes" 

Second Half:

• key that everyone can apply directly to their own lives, from this very minute, with an explanation of how to do this.

The explanation:

Q. What is your insight, Vivien?

A. When I look back over 40 years of working with people, using these different methods, and in different roles, I see that when Body, Mind and Spirit come into alignment, our nervous systems -- so therefore our minds and our consciousness -- reach a state of "Yes." This is life-changing -- living in "yes" is completely different from living in "no."

The BIG INSIGHT is that we can actually begin with the word "Yes" to bring our Body, Mind and Spirit into alignment, literally in minutes, and then progress from there.

Q. Can you give an example?

A. Yes, let's use the example of what we're doing right now, namely, live-streaming a show. When the pandemic came upon us and I couldn't market my book, I tried to force myself to do Facebook Live. For me, that was a "no." I was stuck -- my carefully planned strategy for selling my book had collapsed because of the lockdown, and I was in a state of "no" about using what was available. I figured out why, and I figured out what I needed, by asking myself: What can I say "yes" to? Which is a very different question from "Do I want to do Facebook Live?" The truth is that I didn't actually want to say Yes to anything! So then I had to recognize that I was in a general state of "no" which is very, very uncomfortable for me, and so I asked myself 2 questions: 

• 'Do I want to move out of "no?"' and the answer was "Yes." 

• and the other question I asked myself is: "What do I need to say "yes" to?" and the answer was: "Sharing my knowledge with lots and lots of people."  

• So I asked myself: "What do you need to put in place to make this possible?" and the answer was "I want someone to help me, I don't want to learn how to do this on my own," and from that "Yes" I chose to sign up with you ... and here we are!!! Then when you asked for a campaign slogan, it was clear to me that no matter what we choose to talk about, the underlying slogan is the power of Yes.

Q. So this is what you're recommending people do? Ask themselves these questions?

A. Exactly! Here's the beauty: from the Alexander Technique I've learned that "Yes" and "No" are physically manifest states -- Yes has an up direction and No has a down direction. You can't fool yourself -- your underlying self knows what's a yes and what's a no. Your conscious mind is overtaken by psychology and all the nonsense we get up to in that regard -- but your unconscious mind, your physical body and your soul and spirit cannot be fooled.

Q. Does that mean we change physically when we reach a "yes?"

A. Indeed -- and that's how we can tell we've got a real "yes." We feel relief, and we feel a spark of hope or even a surge of energy, as an actual physical release of tension especially at the neck and shoulders, and an actual movement or shift generally inside ourselves. For those who are thinkers rather than feelers, they may experience it as a light going on inside their heads -- like the proverbial light bulb in a cartoon.

Q. So what you're saying, is that we can use this "yes" insight to somehow deal with our own psychology?

That's precisely what the insight is!!! When our psychology is bulldozing us, our psychology is tricking us, holding us in fear, imprisoning us with resistance and other defense mechanisms, we can use these "yes" insights to reach our true self, and express what is truly in our hearts and souls.

Q. How can people support this process?

I'm researching and writing about this "Yes" dynamic now, so people can stay inspired and learn the "how to" of this by following my blog on Schapera.com and also I started a Facebook Group called The Life-Changing Power of Yes -- come and join us -- I can't believe how much fun we're having. After a year of "no" we all need to be liberated by "YES!"

CTA books, courses and workshops

The biggest undertaking recently has been your text book The Complete Guide to Crystal Surgery – some 25yrs of research has gone into the writing of this book. Can you tell the audience all about the book?
