The Healers Café

Hi, it's Manon Bolliger (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) and I want to welcome you to the Healers Cafe. I am so excited to be doing this series of interviews and what I'll be doing is, is asking all kinds of healthcare practitioners, doctors, healers of all types, to really share with all of you their experience, why they became healers, what called them what they think about this being a healer thing. Is it, a thing? Who's really healing in this, what they've experienced from their their interaction with clients and patients and what the takeaways and understanding of what the process of healing is all about and the process of life. So that's the essence of what I'm doing. I'm hoping that this will serve also for patients that have issues and are looking for different ways of approaching it. * De-Registered, revoked & retired after 30+ years of practice. Now resourceful & resolved to share with you all the tools to take care of your health & vitality!

highlights from today's episode include:

Charlie Cropley 

When I was an intern. And in my third year of naturopathic college, I had a patient with rheumatoid arthritis. And I found myself going through this book looking for how do you cure or treat rheumatoid arthritis. And I went, people been having rheumatoid arthritis for as long as there have been human beings. And I'm still doing we haven't found a way right to heal rheumatoid arthritis. And I said Bosh, I know. I know beyond a doubt what will improve this. Through eating and through this person's power to bring healing to themselves by improving their behaviors.

 

Node Smith 

You know, many people many, and you know, everyone, every doctor knows that patients have tried numerous diets and have not been successful, they've tried numerous exercise programs and not been successful. And it is not because diet and exercise don't work. That is not what's happening. It's a level of skillfulness. It might be the type of diet, it might be how they're eating, it might be emotional elements surrounding eating, and the same thing with exercise or movement.

Charlie Cropley 

The foundation that we work from is that of relationship. And we begin and end during the intensive with a teaching on the patient's relationship to their illness and introduce the naturopathic perspective of illness as a message to us, right. And so, we begin to transform their relationship to their illness, and then the physical exam, we then look at their relationship to their body. And then we look at their relationship to each of the four behaviors to their eating, to their movement, to their thinking, and to their relationships with other people. And we're, teaching them that how to...that their body, their mind, they are the only ones who know, and receive the messages from their body in their minds.

Highlights from today's episode include:

 

Joseph Holmes

But I was just a complete mess and looking back at it, it was a blessing for me because I think without that happening, I never would have met Mary Magdalene consciously met her. I met her when I was a child of seven years old. I didn't know it at the time and but your angels, I get the question a lot. Well, how do your angels appear to you and your angels appear to you in accordance of where you're at, mentally, and emotionally at the time.

 

Joseph Holmes

So, I lied on the floor with my head by Mary in by Mother Mary's lap, and Mary Magdalene is hovering above me as she enters my body. And that's when she healed me of my childhood molestation. Before that time, I never spoke. I never told anyone about my molestation. And after that, and your listeners can appreciate this. After that. I started talking about them, telling people about them, writing about them, giving interviews about them about my molestations. And that's a significant part of your healing is to be start talking about it.

 

Joseph Holmes 29:44

And if you stay in your head where ego wants to keep you it's just endless chatter. Endless mindless chatter all day long. 24 seven. So how do you deal with that? Very important. So, your listeners know how do you deal with that? Because that chatter is going on all the time, I used to fight it. And you know, when you fight ego, you're always lose. So, I just, it just got to the point where said, you know, I'm just because I make friends with my ego. So now when the chatter starts taking over, I just stop, and I say, thank you, ego, for reminding me to drop back into my heart, so now ego's my friend.

 

About Joseph Holmes

Joseph Holmes aka jmmlove; the “mm” for Mary Magdalene, and “love” for Mary Magdalene’s message of unconditional love; was born on December 13, the feast day of Santa Lucia.  He is a survivor of childhood sexual, physical, and emotional abuse as well as a ptsd-disabled combat veteran.  He is an Amazon best-selling author with over 45 titles published to date, all helping people discover their Purpose and create lives full of meaning, significance, joy, love, and success via the spiritual poetry of guardian angel Mary Magdalene.

  As a 7 year old child jmmlove was first graced by the love of guardian angel Mary Magdalene & he affectionately calls, “Maggie”; while visiting the border town of Nogales, Arizona with his family.

  Fast forward to the year 1988 when j was encapsulated within a bubble of White Light for one week during which time he was unable to eat any solid food.  This began his angel experiences in earnest.

  In December of 1990 Joseph experienced a ptsd-induced nervous breakdown where he walked away from his career and livelihood as a doctor of chiropractic while having a wife and two small children to support.  He spent the next entire year secluded on his 5-acre estate simply working the land as a form of therapy.  People who hear j’s story in detail are often moved to tears and encouraged to never give up as they face their own personal challenges. 

  In 1993 jmmlove experienced a vision of Mother Mary who blessed him with streams of gold and white light.  This was in preparation for a state of rapture he began experiencing shortly afterward and which lasted for a solid 5-month period.

  In 2005 joseph experienced a visitation from Mother Mary along with Mary Magdalene during which time they partially healed him of his childhood molestations.  This began a relationship with Mary Magdalene that culminated in December of 2012 with her awakening him in the early morning hours to act as a conduit for her spiritual poetry, free of the dogma and doctrine of organized religion, that touches on a variety of life issues, helping readers create lives full of meaning, significance, joy, love, and success.

  From that December morning in 2012 to the present day Maggie has awakened Joseph virtually every morning with her poetry, now published in the form of Love Notes For Your Soul.

  Listeners and readers often feel Maggie’s poetry is speaking directly to them on their life’s journey, helping them listen to their hearts and not get caught up in the ways of the world and what others think or say.  In fact, Maggie affirms that whoever is drawn to her poetry can consider her to be one of their guardian angels.

  Joseph believes there are millions, if not billions, of people who have their own angel stories to tell, but are in the closet with them for fear of being ridiculed or shamed.  He hopes that by hearing his story people will be encouraged to come out of their closets, as he firmly believes that sharing one’s angel stories lays the foundation for healing from past traumas and discovering one’s Gift, or Purpose. 

  Sharing your Gift, or as joseph likes to refer to it as, walking your Road to Rome, by taking baby steps doing what you can from where you are with what you have, and acting fearlessly while listening to your angels, you can overcome all your doubts and fears along the way and create a life full of meaning, significance, joy, love, and success.

  Joseph welcomes your comments & and angel stories.  He can be reached at joseph@jmmlove.com

  His website is https://www.jmmlove.com

Core purpose/passion: My Gift.  It is to share the spiritual poetry of guardian angel Mary Magdalene and her message that Love is real.

Highlights from today's episode include:

Dr Grant

I do personally believe that everything we do is the food that we eat, the food we do not eat, and the food that is eating us. Because some people don't even understand that they're not eating real food. 90% of the stuff in the supermarkets today. It's all sad. It's really like, all of the junk food that we see in the boxes and cans and in the shelves, artificial colors, and flavors and all of this stuff. It's not real food. It's really something resemble food. So, I recommend for people to go and eat real food. Because let your food be thy medicine and your medicine be thy food

Dr Grant

To tell you the truth, when I put this post on my website, I recommend it take between 8000 to 10,000, vitamin D3, between 3000 to 5000, vitamin C milligrams, and 80 milligrams of zinc every single day. I did not have any publications to justify that. It was based on 40 plus years of experience. But guess what Dr. Manon last month, there was 4800 publications in reference medical journals to show what I recommended two years ago was absolutely valid development, vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc to boost the immune system

Dr Grant

I'm sorry, this is not the biggest pandemic we're living in the biggest pandemic we're living in is diabetes, obesity, I call it dieobesity. It's hypertension that people are taking drugs for the rest of their lives. And heart problems, which is the number one leading cause of death. And these are the biggest pandemic here our lifestyle has to change. Because we eat the standard American diet sad, SAD, or the standard Canadian diet SCT. Those are the diets that cause problems.
