Years ago, I worked with a remarkable woman who had spent more than 28 years in a wheelchair. Her story was heart-wrenching; she had been a pedestrian hit by a drunk driver, causing severe damage to the entire left side of her body, including her arm, leg, ribs, intestines, and skull. Enduring numerous surgeries, even having ligaments in her fingers and toes clipped to uncurl them from the trauma. After nine months in a coma, she faced a life confined to a wheelchair and bed. My role was to provide massages to alleviate her pain.
As I massaged her week after week, I could sense her frustration. One day, I asked her, “What do you want?” Her response shattered my heart; she said, “I want to walk.” At that moment, I was 30 years old, and realized that she had spent almost my entire life in a wheelchair. While I, too, desired that for her, I didn’t know if it was possible.
Unexpectedly, I found myself saying, “I’ll help you walk. What do you want to do when you can walk?” She told me about her desire to go to the casino on her birthday, which had just passed. Determined to make her dream a reality, I promised her we would go next year, not in a wheelchair but walking. It was a spontaneous utterance, but I had an unexplained certainty in my heart.
My approach was to take it one step at a time, similar to how a baby learns to move. We started with her on the floor on her stomach, practicing lifting her head. Then, we worked on rolling over and eventually sitting upright. Gradually, her strength improved, little by little.
A year later, on her birthday, we went to the casino as promised. I assisted her as she walked to the car, sat in an actual seat, and stumbled into the casino. She played the slot machines until exhaustion, and that day, I cried in amazement. She showed me the incredible possibilities of the human body and mind. She begged to do the things we often take for granted. Her determination proved that healing is possible when you truly desire it. She taught me to cherish the ability to move, to walk. I hadn’t known if she would walk again, but I witnessed a miracle firsthand.
We’re not meant to stay in a chronic state of pain weakness and disease. If we are patient and consistent, we can heal. Here are three ways you can start to heal your body.
Start a daily 15-minute yoga practice and increase the time and intensity as you go.
Book a massage at least once a month.
Schedule physical therapy sessions twice a week (insurance often covers this).
Be patient and give yourself a year of consistent effort. If you are interested in doing yoga with me, feel free to let me know.

I am thrilled to be presenting you with my favorite tools that I have implemented to transform my life over the past 20+ years. Today’s video is near and dear to my heart because it was the catalyst that sent me down the path of personal transformation. This practice became my life mission and purpose. It is incredibly simple and can appear too easy to be as powerful as it actually is. However, this practice brings you into the present moment so that you are operating consciously instead of out of habits that you have outgrown and are no longer serving you. Closing off from the external world and tuning into your own divine spark is what this practice is all about.
Step 1
Get in a comfortable and relaxed position. I personally love to lie down.
Step 2
Set the timer for 5-20 minutes
Step 3
Close your eyes and begin breathing deeply. Taking full inhales and exhales to clear the lungs and settle down the mind and the nervous system. To keep the mind clear I will often count the breaths and the pacing of each breath. Inhaling for a count of ten and exhaling for a count of ten. Repeating this breathwork pattern for a minimum of ten breaths.
Step 4
Return the breathing to a normal rhythm and simply rest. Surrender by saying in your mind, “Guide me now.” And then be still and allow whatever wants to express itself to come through. In the beginning, the mind can release the typical to-do’s list that may or may not spark inspiration. However, stick with it, be patient. This is not something you can rush, and it often comes when you really relax.
Step 5
When a thought crosses your mind and your heart skips a beat, or gives you a little pulse of electricity, get up immediately and do the task that you feel inspired to do.
Step 6
After the task is complete, repeat this process back to step one.
Note: not all inspired action will have a clear significance to it, some of it is simple and mundane things, but the energy in which you complete the task comes from an inspired state rather than a burdensome state. When this practice is implemented daily and consistently over the course of weeks and months you will be amazed at what you have accomplished. You will then see a clear path that is specific and in alignment with you and your path and where you are now. This is all about living from the internal world and expressing it outwardly rather than living your life dictated by the external world that leaves you feeling like an unfulfilled follower rather than a divinely inspired leader in your own life.
Challenge yourself to practice this a minimum of three times a day over the course of the week and see what surprises show up.
