00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:04.559
When we will look back at the end of our life, was my life any good?
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:06.480
How many people have we loved?
00:00:06.719 --> 00:00:08.000
Have I given enough love?
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:10.160
I had a time on this planet to give love.
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:11.279
Did I give enough love?
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:12.640
Because I had infinite love.
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.119
The companies you've built, that's good.
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:17.679
The legacy you will leave, that's good.
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:27.440
But ultimately, I think success to me is not defined by just how many houses you have, how many millions you've made or billions.
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:32.960
It's really about how did you leave the world a better place, a more peaceful, kinder place?
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.679
Like you're not gonna be buried with your money.
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:36.000
No.
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:36.640
Let's face it.
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:38.880
I don't want to be the richest corpse in the graveyard.
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:42.719
My friend Emily always says who cares?
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:51.119
Almost dying taught me how to live.
00:00:51.280 --> 00:01:00.640
Being struck by a car left me in a three and a half week coma with 15 broken bones and 16 surgeries to complete, including brain surgery.
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:06.480
However, I woke up from that coma in an even greater place than I ever foresaw for myself.
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.920
The universe will guide you out of the darkness and into the light if you allow it.
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:15.120
Often, spirituality comes off as too high brown.
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:16.560
I'm not about that.
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:20.640
Welcome to the podcast that talks and teaches about it through the lens of humor.
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:24.959
Together, we'll harness positive energy and use it to work with the universe.
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.599
All while giggling the entire time.
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.000
Welcome to Gabriella Rebranded.
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.239
When most lose some.
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:34.560
This is so exciting.
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.680
We have our first international guest.
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:39.120
This is Roman Dumas.
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:41.439
You are based in Paris.
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.760
And Roman, he created Luminara.
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:46.640
Am I saying it right?
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:47.599
Okay.
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:53.439
Luminara, which is an energy healing um software website.
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:54.719
What exactly is it?
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:56.079
It's a talent agency.
00:01:56.319 --> 00:02:02.159
A talent agency, an energy hearing healing talent agency, which is so fascinating.
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:07.920
I was looking at it a little bit and I have a free session, so I'm definitely going to use it and check it out.
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:13.520
But when
Load full transcript
you reached out to me, the real reason why I was like, oh, this is so fascinating.
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:21.759
I definitely want to bring you on to have a conversation, is what inspired your creation of Luminara, because you have a very logic-based background.
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:28.960
You went to university, got all the degrees, and what inspired this was the unfortunate passing of your son.
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:34.879
So that I am very interested in all things that are born from grief and born through trauma.
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.599
This was born from grief, born through trauma.
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:47.919
So I wanted to bring you on to talk about how your son, how you guys worked together, because he's working with you to create Luminara.
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:49.439
Why Luminara?
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.280
Um, and yeah, basically that's it.
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:54.319
Why Luminara?
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:54.960
What do you think?
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.520
What why does this what you want to give?
00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:59.759
So let's start with talking about your son.
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:01.199
Yeah, thank you, Gabriella.
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:02.080
Thank you for having me here.
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:02.479
Thank you.
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:05.039
I'm honored to be the first international guest.
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:10.400
First international guest in Paris, a bougie, abusive international place.
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:12.719
Um, yeah.
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:20.960
Um, so well, no one is prepared to lose a child, and it's not the way it's meant to happen.
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:27.039
Um, so in 2014, my wife and I, we had a first boy in 2010.
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:27.520
Okay.
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:28.879
Perfectly fine.
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:29.280
Okay.
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.240
Um, but my wife is British Indian.
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:32.719
Okay.
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:36.240
Uh I'm French, so we're not blood related at all.
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:48.560
And yet we figured out that we had a gene that was broken, this very same gene broken for two different reasons, uh, different mutation.
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:56.719
So having um that was something super rare.
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:02.159
Like I often say it's like tossing a coin in Los Angeles and asking you to find it, Gabriella.
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.759
It's that uh you know statistically, it doesn't make sense.
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:15.840
But our kid we we discovered that at around the fifth month of uh pregnancy, that his uh kidneys uh had an issue.
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:22.399
So it was absorbing all the amniotic fluid, and therefore the the lungs can't develop.
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:32.560
So we gave him a chance, and we had the the joy of of having him uh uh uh in the world for three days, but then he transitioned.
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:58.480
And and that was um the moment everything started because um well silence is really something that is very, very hard to live with when you know people don't know what to tell you, and you feel that uh you know they want to help you and you want to say kind things, but they couldn't say anything during the pregnancy.
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:09.439
But the moment uh he passed away, I felt like silence, the presence of people in the funeral was so wonderful, so such a bless.
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:11.439
The stillness, yeah.
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:23.439
And then and that's how it all started because I discovered silence, and then I created an app five years after called Hilo that was a name, it's like WhatsApp meets headspace.
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.160
Okay, um, and that was the first step of my journey.
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:28.319
Yeah, and then that app became Luminara.
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:36.079
And then I I yes, I it's um you you may call it a yeah, um a pivot.
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:36.560
Okay.
00:05:36.879 --> 00:06:12.879
Um, and I I had the chance to experience Hilo with friends and at with uh an NGO called November in uh November 2022, and that led me to put this intention on studying what is the power of collective meditation, what is the power of what's happening when people gather in silence, and I thought, wow, science must have some some clues about what we're experiencing, and and then I had this amazing synchronicity early 2023.
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.480
Okay, a moment that wasn't supposed to happen.
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:37.439
But I met this woman who healed her mom, and and that changed everything because when I had this intention of studying the science around um, you know, collective meditation and and and remote healing, I then met this woman who told me about the story of her and her mom.
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.240
And do you want me to go into this story?
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:41.279
Please, no, yeah.
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.040
I'm like, you're like, I had this moment.
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:45.279
I was like, do you want to talk about the moment?
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:50.639
Okay, yeah, so so this woman, uh, it's a crazy story.
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.160
Um so I had this intention, right?
00:06:55.040 --> 00:07:06.480
And then what happens is that um a friend of mine that is living in Romania just said to me, Roman, you got to meet my fiance.
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:14.879
And he was coming to Paris, he was in Paris already, and he wanted me to meet her so badly that I had to see her.
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:21.759
So I say, All right, it was 2nd of Jan 2023, it was a Monday, I remember very well.
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.600
And so this friend is telling me, You got to meet her.
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:26.959
Okay, okay, fine, fine, fine.
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:33.680
So I have a dog, I had a dog at the time, and I went on, and I see is so excited.
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:40.720
And when you see a friend that's so excited, uh you feel like some there's something in the air, you
know?
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.000
Yeah, and he won't he was he proposed to her.
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:46.240
He he he he bought the rings at Cartier.
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:56.160
Oh my god, Cardiff, we're just talking about on top of the Champs d'Alysée, and he was so excited, and then I I hear her saying, Well, we're still in negotiation.
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:01.519
So I'm like, wait a second, how how many months, how many years have you been dating?
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:03.759
Yeah, and he said, Well, two weeks.
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:06.560
So you're like, wait a second.
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:10.800
So you proposed to me this woman that you only met two weeks ago.
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:11.600
Two weeks, yes.
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:16.959
So already there is a little something that makes you feel like, well, is this a candid camera?
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:18.560
Like, seriously, is this happening?
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.079
And this isn't a friend who had a history of rushing into relationship with the city.
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:23.600
The guy's 50 years old.
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:24.720
Okay, all right.
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:30.800
It's not, it's not, you know, you think about young couple going to Las Vegas, getting married on the spur of the moment.
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:32.639
But this was not that at all.
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:34.960
But you think, wait a second, who's this woman?
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:35.519
What is this?
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:37.120
What is happening here?
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:49.200
And so I look at this woman called Anna, and she's she's amazing, she's uh in fintech, she has this company with a PhD in math.
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:54.240
She works, she has a PhD in uh uh economic science, she seems like super non-woo woo.
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:58.399
So another person who's very logic and very logic, exactly.
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:06.879
And so I am I am surprised, like why how come she he fell in love with her anyway?
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:22.720
I'm talking about my intention because I ask her about all the questions about her job, and then I tell a bit about myself and the fact that I'm looking at you know, studying more around collective meditation and consciousness, etc.
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:28.000
And I talk about Hilo, and I'm thinking, oh, she's gonna think I'm a little bit funny and stuff like that.
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:30.879
And then she says, Well, I healed my mom.
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:33.200
What do you mean you healed your mom?
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:47.440
So story inside a story 15 years back, she told me that she was she was going through a divorce, two young kids, classic story, and she asked her mom for help.
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:49.279
So she was living in Bucharest.
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.159
Her mom is saying, Sure, darling, I'll go help you.
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.720
She's coming to the house, and it's it's bliss.
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:59.840
She finally got to work on her PhD, and the mom is taking care of many things.
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:07.679
Up to the moment where she has a bike accident, and her mom is breaking her leg in many, many ways.
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.360
And so Anna is going from heaven to hell.
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.320
She has to take care of her mom, the kids, everything.
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:16.559
Trying to do her PhD like it's a mess.
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:17.919
Yeah, it's a mess.
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:18.559
Yeah.
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:21.440
And so Anna is desperate.
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:24.960
It's, you know, this dark night of the soul kind of moment.
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:28.080
It's yeah, unfortunately, that's how it tends to play out.
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:29.679
It is, it is.
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:31.360
And so she's telling me the story.
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:32.960
I'm like, okay.
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:42.639
And and then she says, Well, at some point, I had read, she told me I read some books around the power of positive visualization.
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:43.120
Yes.
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:51.600
You know, what which is quite you know, something athletes are doing, and it's it's not woo-woo, it's just yeah, something people do, but it's very powerful.
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:55.120
And she thinks, you know, mom, I'm gonna heal you.
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.120
Mommy's, yeah, sure, darling, go for it.
00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:12.480
So when the kids are in bed, she goes to her mom's room, and for 20 minutes, she's explaining to me that she's filling the room with love, light, angels, and and just visualizing the leg of her mom in perfect condition.
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.480
Because, you know, she wanted her to heal much faster.
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:22.080
And the doctors had said it's gonna take six to eight months for her to literally get back on her feet.
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.000
Oh my god, literally, yeah.
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:27.519
And it's just getting a lot faster, thanks to that.
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:38.559
And at that moment, Gabriella, uh, it's really for me, uh, because of my the intention I had, this is there is such a synchronicity.
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:50.559
I almost felt like someone was tapping on my shoulder and telling me, Roman, you wanted to read around you know, all the scientific papers on the power of healing, remote healing, etc.
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:52.000
And here is Anna.
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:53.759
This is a true story.
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.879
She really did what she did, and it worked.
00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:01.440
And Anna became a bit of a legend in her family, and she helped her grandmother.
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.200
And but then she went back onto her PhD and everything.
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:09.679
But for me, this moment was a defining moment.
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:15.120
And I thought, it's really as if I absorbed everything that I've done so far.
00:12:15.279 -->
00:12:28.320
And story with Raphael, my kid, who passed away in 2014, led me to this moment where I thought, all right, this is true, this is important, and how come no one knows about it?
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:29.600
No one knows, yeah.
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:33.919
And so from that moment, the seed of Luminara was planted.
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:36.240
I mean, it was I followed the crumbs, as I often say.
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:44.960
But this moment was a decisive moment where I thought, all right, I'll go all in and I'm going to study the market.
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.559
Like, first of all, how do healers uh find clients?
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:49.600
Who are these healers?
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:53.840
I had, believe it or not, Gabriella, I had not done a single Reiki session.
00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:56.080
I know you've done Reiki, and that was an important moment.
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:00.720
This is how you managed to find the book that really shifted your life.
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.360
So it did, yes, yeah.
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:05.759
I had no clue about any of the.
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:10.240
I mean, I had I knew a friend who was doing Reiki, but I had not experienced this myself.
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:12.399
I knew it existed, but I was blown away.
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:18.240
Like Mayo Clinic is proposing Reiki in integrative oncology.
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:24.480
Like, I discovered that this was not yet mainstream, but it was on the on the text of being is there.
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:25.039
Yeah.
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:27.279
I remember I read a book, I think it was Dr.
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:28.480
Joe Dispense's book.
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:30.559
Don't cover me in the comments if I'm incorrect.
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:37.600
But the book started with this telling about this woman who had all these types of cancers that she had like multiple that she couldn't heal.
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.360
She had issues with like these blisters that kept appearing.
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.519
Like she'd so many immune disorders.
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:47.360
And then she just said, Fuck it, I'm not taking my medicine anymore.
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.799
And just started, and she got she just started meditating.
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:52.320
That's what she prioritized.
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.480
She dropped all the pills and drugs, and that was what healed her.
00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:59.120
That was what brought her back, living in alignment.
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:02.000
So it's just crazy, these stories that are out there.
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:02.879
Yes.
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:03.519
Yes.
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:07.279
And it's, I mean, we've been pill-driven so much.
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:07.600
Yes.
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:09.600
Let's let's just caveat.
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:11.759
Sometimes you you may need a pill.
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:12.159
Oh, yeah.
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:13.519
Let's just make sure.
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:15.679
Don't stop whatever is described.
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:17.200
It does a lot for us.
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:28.320
Um, but it's true that you know, there are there right now, what we're talking about is called a complementary uh type of medicine.
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:29.120
Yeah.
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:34.159
Because, you know, there is a Western, and then this this is complementary.
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.840
Truth is, it can be more than just complementary.
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:47.759
Now, it's complementary because of, you know, for legal reasons and and because you want to also make sure there is harmony, and and that's fine.
00:14:48.080 --> 00:15:00.000
But the power of energy healing and all these modalities, and Reiki is one of them, which is great because it it's a brand name that is famous now, is so powerful in so many ways.
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:04.960
And the beauty is that it works remotely, which is mind-blowing.
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.360
Yes, and that's what Luminara is.
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:07.840
Yes.
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:12.320
So, what we are, who we are, we're a talent agency, we're not a marketplace.
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:21.120
So we're highly curating every single healer on the platform, and we have we're a telehealth company.
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:26.559
So think about us like the future of clinics, okay.
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:43.440
Clinics of the 21st century, where you can access amazing healing, and it's great for trauma, depression, anxiety, uh, chronic pain, all the pain um that are linked to cancer treatments.
00:15:43.679 --> 00:16:02.399
So these uh ailments have been proven um, you know, uh, I mean, there's a great rate of success using uh energy healing to help reduce the pain or to just help reduce um the the consequences of all these ailments.
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:02.960
Okay.
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:11.759
So Luminara matches you, the client, with an energy healer that you they that is signed with your agency and you think is fit.
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:12.480
That's right.
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:12.960
Okay.
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:21.360
So we use a bit of AI to do the matching, but most importantly, what we do is we curate great healers.
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:25.759
And we have many in the US, we have some in Europe, some in Canada.
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:31.519
Um, and the point is we want uh energy healing to become mainstream.
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:41.679
And in order to do that, you need to create uh a place of trust for people to find access to energy healing.
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:46.879
Right now, you may know someone, Gabriella, who needs maybe an energy healing session.
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:49.600
And so you're gonna recommend someone you know.
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:51.200
So this is word of mouth, right?
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:54.080
And this is good, and this will always stay.
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:56.799
But the point is, this doesn't
scale fast, you know?
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:00.960
Your friend is lucky to have you who knows someone, who knows someone, etc.
00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:01.840
This is cool.
00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:08.160
But also the Reiki healer or whoever healer you know may not be the best for your friend, it could be someone else.
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:13.839
So, what we're doing is a is a house, is a clinic where people can access these great healers.
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:18.720
They're all equally great, and we don't have a rating system, they're all amazing.
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:26.880
Now, this one healer may be more fit for you at this very time of your life rather than for me and for your friend, etc.
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:32.319
So the idea here is we produce, we're a producer, we're that's why I call ourselves the talent agency.
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:44.720
We do these videos, we look for uh videographers all around the world and we film the healers the same way you as an actress, you have a book, you know, and you show this to you know to get hired.
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:54.640
Well, we film them, and then as a user, you'll be able to see a great uh quality, like masterclass sort of quality, you see.
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:58.799
Um, and this gives you a first idea of okay, I I love this healer.
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:01.039
I want to, I I feel a connection.
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:05.519
And then you can have a discovery call if you like, or you can just go for a full-on session.
00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:05.920
Okay.
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:13.039
You know, that's brilliant because there have been times where I've tried so many different Reiki healers in Los Angeles.
00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:17.759
I have one in New York that I love, but I've tried so many different ones in Los Angeles.
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:24.240
And there's been a couple times I haven't found one that I want to stick with consistently yet.
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:29.359
And there was one in particular who I found that had the greatest ratings and everything.
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:33.119
And then the day after our session, something really bad happened to me.
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:37.440
So I'm like, I don't think that we were a fit.
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:39.519
So I love Illuminara.
00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:49.759
I think it's brilliant that there is a place you can go to rather than just Googling where you can see healers' work and decide, hey, that one's curated to me.
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:51.759
I actually want to talk to this one.
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:52.160
Yeah.
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:52.559
Yeah.
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:53.119
Thank you.
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:53.440
Yeah.
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:59.359
I mean, and the beauty is also that, I mean, I remember, I'll never forget actually this.
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:14.160
When we did the um um the study, the market study, there was this gentleman from LA uh that we interviewed to know about, you know, he was a client, he
was uh enjoying Reiki sessions in LA.
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:26.880
And I remember what he said, he said, Oh, you know, I love my healer in LA, and I go see my healer, but the moment I go back home in the traffic, I almost feel like everything is vanishing.
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:28.480
It is so long.
00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:30.079
This is so freaking long.
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:34.960
And and so that was interesting because he said, Oh my god, that's great.
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:45.680
Because I love my healer and I want to stick to my healer sometimes, but because your platform will be remote, I'd be happy to have a session at 9 p.m.
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:52.000
in LA, and that requires to have a healer in Hawaii who's awake, right?
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:53.839
Well, that's what we provide.
00:19:53.920 --> 00:20:07.119
So we have healers from all around the world, and therefore you can have a healing session, like a brilliant session from the comfort of your home without all the trouble of going physically to the place, yeah, going back.
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:13.440
And yeah, so that's super helpful for even people like you who love a healer.
00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:16.240
You could still find great healers with Luminara.
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:16.960
That's brilliant.
00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:27.039
And I love what you said about wanting energy healing to become more mainstream because there are definitely people I know who I'm like, oh, you would really benefit from some of this stuff.
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:35.039
But it because it's not mainstream, it's you know, woo-woo, they roll their eyes, like they it's not something they would actually do.
00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:36.880
So I I'm so with you.
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:38.720
I'm like, let's make this mainstream.
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:39.519
Yeah.
00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:41.119
It deserves to be.
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:49.680
The truth is, you have a lot of athletes, stars, actresses, actors who have energy healing.
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:51.440
They know this is an edge.
00:20:51.680 --> 00:21:01.279
This is really good for having a balanced life because we all have an energetic body, and very few of us are aware of it.
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:07.680
And so, why would only these people have access to energy healing?
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:14.880
So I really wanted to democratize to make this super easy for everyone to afford as well.
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:19.200
So we're looking not just at great healers, but also affordable healers.
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:24.960
So the price point would go between$80 to$200, around$200 max.
00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:28.079
Because also this is a very affordable healer.
00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:29.119
It is affordable.
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:39.759
And in one session, because these practices are very effective, even with one session, uh, you get a lot of benefit, a lot for your bucks.
00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:47.680
Yeah, for a very decent um price, or as we say, energy exchange, because money is I like that.
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:52.240
It is money, money is energy, and people don't always remember that, but it is.
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:59.599
Now, I wanted to talk a little bit about you, this came to you because of the passing of your son.
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:15.440
What do you think it is that makes trauma awaken people who can be very logic-based, or they're just caught up in, you know, the life that we're all caught up in and the frivolous things that distract all of us?
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:22.160
What do you think it is about a bottoming out experience that awakens you to this type of world?
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:30.640
Well, first of all, I, you know, I I listened to many of your of your own story.
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:31.200
Thank you.
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:32.480
Uh your podcast.
00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:40.240
And and as you yourself discovered, and look where we are, trauma is a blessing in disguise.
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:42.640
Uh it is hard.
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:43.359
It is hard.
00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:49.039
Let's face it, it is hard, and it can destroy you or it can uplift you.
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:49.440
Yeah.
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:55.440
But trauma is really a blessing in disguise.
00:22:55.519 --> 00:23:03.039
Like it's a moment where the divine is telling you now, you have a chance to change your life.
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:14.480
Um and and and you can make it a lot more luminous because you'll get over it, or you'll just get drowned by it.
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:20.799
And it's really when you think about it, you know, we're not humans having a spiritual experience.
00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:21.519
We're souls.
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:30.480
Souls, how human experience and when you think this way, because otherwise, if you don't think this way, maybe listeners will think, oh, trauma?
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:31.519
No, that's shit.
00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:33.119
Like, I don't want a trauma.
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:35.920
Like, you don't want to have, you know, any of that.
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:45.039
And I understand, like, and you have so many, especially with kids, you have so horrible, horrible, traumatic experience that you think no one deserves this.
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:45.359
Yes.
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:47.119
Of course, no one deserves this.
00:23:47.519 --> 00:24:01.200
But when you get out of this trauma, and I had a dinner recently with someone who had like terrible, terrible like things from his uh childhood with his parents and stuff like that.
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:05.039
I mean, really, when you listen to this, you feel why?
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:06.720
How how unfair.
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:18.240
But he managed to to get over it, and now you feel how how beautiful he is, and how he elevated his soul to a next level.
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:28.880
So it's really, if you think this way, it's more like the soul is given a way to experience, to grow,
and to to to access to a higher level of consciousness.
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:29.759
Yeah.
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:44.319
I think it's that basically echoing that, it's that when you lose everything, you finally are listening to everything, because everything that you thought you had, you don't have anymore.
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:52.000
So you finally are listening to like what else is out there, and you finally notice things that maybe you didn't notice before.
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.400
And I thought what you said about the silence is be that it was beautiful.
00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:02.720
It's in the silence that we find things a lot of the times because you can only hear energy.
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:04.079
Yes.
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:06.480
You can only hear if you're quiet.
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:22.079
Now, another thing that I wanted to talk to you about was so often the people who you know say this is woo-woo, it's high success, successful on paper in individuals who, you know, are very go, go, go, go, go.
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:34.640
And they are often the people who are the most empty inside and the most out of touch with what actually matters because they're so caught up in the movement of life and everything that's going around them.
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:37.279
They have a lot on their shoulders, a lot to manage.
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:45.039
What would you say to these people who feel like they just are too busy to slow down?
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.160
Well, I don't know if they will listen to me.
00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:57.599
Well, that's that is a very true question, but but if they would, you know, why are you so busy?
00:25:57.759 --> 00:26:01.680
Like, what are you trying to escape from?
00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:03.200
What are you trying to escape?
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:03.359
Yes.
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:04.960
What are you trying to escape from?
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:12.880
Because if you're creating this very, very busy life around yourself, what is exactly the thing you don't want to hear?
00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:19.599
What is exactly the deep reason, the root causes of this noise?
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:21.200
Because you're creating this noise.
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:28.079
So I would I would ask them the question like, why do you put yourself into this noise?
00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:31.839
And there is probably a reason deep down.
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:35.680
Now, whether they want to see that or not, it's a different story.
00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:40.400
Yeah, I you cannot, you know, as you know, Gabriella, you cannot change people.
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:41.519
People change themselves.
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:42.160
Exactly.
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:44.480
That's is the one big learning in life.
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:50.160
Like you try so much to change your friends, and you can see things happening, but you just can't.
00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:52.640
It's a hard thing to learn because with kids.
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:53.119
Oh my god.
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:54.319
Oh my god, with kids, I can't.
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:56.880
You can see them hitting the wall, but they have to hit the wall.
00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:58.319
They have to figure it out by themselves, yeah.
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:10.880
So I would say that I would I would probably ask a couple of questions to maybe let them go inwards to think about why am I creating this noise around me?
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:13.039
Yeah, okay, that's beautiful.
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:20.400
Don't follow any gurus and don't you know ever listen to someone who's telling you to follow him or follow her.
00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:24.640
The real master is the one telling you to look inwards.
00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:28.640
They first of all, I wanted to say thank you so much for all your complimentary words.
00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:36.559
And I'm I'm happy that both of us, with our experiences of trauma, we sort of decided to elevate our lives rather than stay down.
00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:44.400
Um, even though that it in some ways it would have been easier to stay down, but we both, but it also is a lot.
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:46.640
This is harder, but it's also a lot easier.
00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:47.599
We had no choice.
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:48.480
We had no choice.
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:50.240
We had no choice.
00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:56.559
That's what my um that's what my friend Alyssa and I talked about in the recent episode about what not to say.
00:27:56.799 --> 00:27:57.680
You were not texting.
00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:02.720
Yeah, whenever exactly, like whenever people are saying, oh my god, I couldn't have done that.
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:04.880
It's like I didn't really have another option.
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:09.200
So you could have done it as well if you didn't have another option.
00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:23.279
But what I was gonna say is what I wanted to ask you about is sometimes the people who are the most disconnected and the most from energy and from how that's important to their healing and their soulful experience.
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:32.720
Sometimes the people that are most disconnected are the people that are the most successful and present like they've won the most to the outside world.
00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:34.960
Why do you think that would be?
00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:41.200
Yeah, it comes down to me about our definition of success.
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:42.000
Yes.
00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:43.279
Yes, yes.
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:45.440
We have a very on-paper success.
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:46.319
Yes.
00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:51.519
I mean, it is a question around, you know, what is success?
00:28:51.759 --> 00:29:04.720
Because I think that when we will look back at the at the end of our life, uh, you know, was my life any good?
00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:07.519
We'll look at how many people have we loved?
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:09.839
You know, have I given enough love?
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:12.079
I had a time on this planet to give love.
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:13.200
Did I give enough love?
00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:14.880
Because I had infinite love.
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:19.200
So the companies you've built, that's good.
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:22.319
The legacy you will leave, that's good.
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:33.119
But ultimately, I think success to me is not defined by just how many houses you have, how many you know, millions you've made or billions.
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:48.079
It's really about how did you manage to, you know, to give the world a, you know, how did you leave the world a a better place, a more peaceful, kinder place?
00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:58.799
I am not very much impressed by any billionaire that wouldn't use money to uh to make something good.
00:29:58.880 --> 00:30:00.960
And as we said, yeah, money is energy.
00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:02.480
It's energy, yeah, it is.
00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:05.119
First of all, how did you get how did you make this money?
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:10.000
And I and if you're hoarding it, you're hoarding the energy, yeah.
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:12.480
Like you're not gonna be buried with your money.
00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:13.519
No, let's face it.
00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:15.680
I don't want to be the richest corpse in the graveyard.
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:19.519
My friend Emily always says that like who cares?
00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:33.519
And and so, yeah, and money can be a very good thing, but can be also destroying you because it's it's about your ego, right?
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:43.440
The more successful you are, the more you may lose your ego and and make it like you think you deserve all of this.
00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:51.519
Truth is there is if in any one success, you have a chance of luck, like financial, physical like manifesting.
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:53.039
You have a chance of luck.
00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:57.039
Like if we if we forget about this, uh, we've been lucky.
00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:00.640
Yes, there is work, there is energy, but there is luck as well.
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:07.680
And so I'm yeah, why are they what what yeah?
00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:08.480
What is successful?
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:10.319
Sorry, I'm no, you wait.
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:11.440
I didn't answer your question.
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:13.519
You did, you did, you did answer.
00:31:13.759 --> 00:31:14.480
You did answer.
00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:15.839
You answered beautifully.
00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:24.400
But I was that's so agree with that that I think the goal of life is to leave the earth a little bit better than you found it.
00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:28.400
That's the goal that you put in more good energy than you take.
00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:28.960
Yes.
00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:35.839
So if you have all this and you're not really benefiting anyone but yourself, you're just take.
00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:37.519
You're not you're not giving.
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:41.839
And I think your son, he gave so much.
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:52.319
He was only here for a short time, but he gave so much because he gave the creation of this, which is going to help so many people.
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:54.079
I so much agree.
00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:55.920
I I'm co-creating with him.
00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:58.240
Yes, yes, is my co-founder.
00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:00.720
Your co-founder, he's my co-founder.
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:02.400
He in a lot of ways, yes.
00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:08.880
I mean, he is, he is your co-founder, which is like absolutely just so brilliant.
00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:18.880
And I love because it's beautiful to know that you leave a legacy, and he's left a he was only here for such a short time, but he left such a legacy.
00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:23.200
Yes, his soul crushed on my path.
00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:33.039
I was in a for 16 years, I was in a very classic corporate career in consulting, successful by the you know, on paper successful.
00:32:33.920 --> 00:32:36.559
Um but I wasn't aligned.
00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:51.920
Yeah, I think deep inside I I was, you know, I I care a lot about making the world, as we said, a better place and a kinder, more peaceful place.
00:32:52.079 --> 00:33:09.599
And I had this from a very, very early, you know, as long as I remember, I've I've prayed uh the divine to be, I was raised in a Catholic environment, and I was praying God um for using me as an instrument of peace.
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:16.640
You know, there is Saint Francis d'Assisi, you know, okay, who's saying, you know, please, you know, use me as an instrument of peace.
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:24.000
And I was very much drowned by these these words, and I was praying, like, please, please, God, use me as an instrument of peace.
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:36.079
And then I ended up doing this corporate career, and then Raphael just crashed, and that slowly just drifted me away from this classic corporate career.
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:38.079
And now you're an instrument of peace again.
00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:41.519
I am, yeah, and and I will never change this.
00:33:41.759 --> 00:33:43.279
No, I I'm not going back.
00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:44.640
No, exactly.
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:46.880
It's like, yeah, I'm not, I'm not going back to you.
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:49.119
Not going back to Gabriella 1.0.
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:50.559
No, I'm Gabriela 1.0.
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:51.359
You have a blessing.
00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:52.640
I'm revisioned that's fun.
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:54.720
I'm not going back to her.
00:33:54.880 --> 00:34:07.599
Now, something that I think is very interesting to talk about is, you know, I have the same perspective as you, that ultimately traumatic experiences are kind of a gift.
00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:10.400
They ultimately are a blessing.
00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:17.519
Um, and I've been asked the question a lot if you could go back and put stop the accident,
would you?
00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:21.599
And for a while I said no, because I'm in a better place than I am now.
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:25.280
And then I was like, maybe that's a little bit of toxic positivity talking.
00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:27.440
These past several years have been terrible.
00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:35.039
But then I back to thinking about it, I really like the person that I am today.
00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:38.159
And I really like what I'm bleeding into the world today.
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:43.840
And I don't know if I would have ever gotten there if this traumatic accident happened to me.
00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:56.719
Um, so you kind of with the same sort of mindset, you know, when you say that trauma is a blessing to people who haven't experienced trauma, they'll be in disguise, in disguise.
00:34:58.320 --> 00:34:58.639
It's not easy.
00:34:58.880 --> 00:34:59.519
It's not easy.
00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:00.480
It's not easy.
00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:13.840
But when you say trauma is a blessing in disguise to people who haven't been through trauma, they might be like, or people who have been through trauma, but they're still living in that bottom out, they might just be like, What are you talking about?
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:18.239
So, how would you explain that trauma?
00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:27.599
I I know your answer, but how would you explain that trauma did become a blessing and is helping unite the world and elevate consciousness?
00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:31.440
I think it's uh it's Gabor Mate, right?
00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:34.159
Who's explaining quite well what trauma is.
00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:34.960
Yeah.
00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:41.760
And and trauma is, you know, is not you.
00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:46.159
Like you, you, you have a trauma given to you.
00:35:46.320 --> 00:35:49.519
Now it's really what you make of what you make of it, yeah.
00:35:49.760 --> 00:35:50.239
Exactly.
00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:55.280
Like the trauma isn't you, it is something and it's an experience.
00:35:55.440 --> 00:36:06.000
It can be very physical, very emotional, emotional, whatever it is, um, that like is thrown like life is giving this to you.
00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:06.480
Yes.
00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:07.840
And you don't have a choice, right?
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:09.199
No, we don't have a choice.
00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:12.800
I mean, yeah, you may argue some people like get into the trauma by themselves.
00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:14.880
Yeah, yeah, you know, some people do that.
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:22.559
Um, but sometimes just like like it's a car, it's a baby that's born with uh an issue, like whatever.
00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:26.960
Now, what do you do with this trauma?
00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:27.599
Yeah, right?
00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:30.400
You have it, you have it.
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:34.239
So do you want to continue living with it?
00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:36.559
How do you make sense of it?
00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:40.960
Like, so
I think this is what it's all about.
00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:43.039
Like, you have this now.
00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:45.360
First of all, don't think this is you.
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:50.480
This is a trauma given to you, but this is not you, you are not the trauma.
00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:52.400
Trauma, you're not the trauma, you're not the trauma.
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:55.519
And when you know that, then you can you can do something.
00:36:55.599 --> 00:36:56.480
Okay, I have this trauma.
00:36:56.559 --> 00:36:57.360
What do I do with it?
00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:00.320
You could ask the why.
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:01.840
Like, why do I have this trauma?
00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:03.119
What is the message, right?
00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:04.719
What is the message from the divine?
00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:07.519
Yeah, but then explore.
00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:12.480
My my my piece of advice is here is explore why did you get this trauma?
00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:16.880
Okay, you have to be a bit spiritual, thinking, okay, things happen for a reason.
00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:17.599
Yeah, right.
00:37:17.679 --> 00:37:22.719
If you don't think this way, you just think this is horrible, it doesn't make sense, and it doesn't make sense.
00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:24.400
Like, why are you not your neighbor?
00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:25.119
Yeah, right?
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:25.840
Yeah, yeah.
00:37:26.079 --> 00:37:28.480
Why me not why not all my friends have this?
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:30.480
Well, that's it.
00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:31.119
It is.
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:32.480
Life is like this.
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:35.599
You were born in this family rather than this other family.
00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:36.239
Why?
00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:36.880
You don't know.
00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:39.920
No, you got this trauma for so this is.
00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:46.880
I think again, you look inward, like, what is it what can you make out of it?
00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:52.960
Yes, and I don't have an answer for everyone, but think about what you can make, and you can make something beautiful.
00:37:53.199 --> 00:37:54.559
So it's a material, yes.
00:37:54.719 --> 00:38:02.239
It's like it's a piece of, think about it like a piece of wood or a a stone, and you can carve the stone.
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:06.079
You know, from a stone, you can make something amazing out of it.
00:38:06.239 --> 00:38:07.519
That's your choice.
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:09.360
Yes, beautiful.
00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:13.679
Now, so many people suffer from burnout.
00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:19.760
And I know Luminara, one of the things that Luminara is good for is people that suffer from burnout.
00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:20.239
That's right.
00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:21.199
And I have a question.
00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:22.719
This might be a little, I don't know.
00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:23.199
Go for it.
00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:31.840
But having the long corporate career, a lot of people who are involved in corporate careers are people that have burnout.
00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:36.400
So, was that what inspired a little bit the creation of Luminara?
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:56.079
I never actually thought about that, but um yes, I mean, definitely if I look back, you know, if we look back 10 years ago, was mental health a thing?
00:38:56.559 --> 00:38:56.960
Not really.
00:38:57.360 --> 00:38:58.079
Not really, right?
00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:11.599
Yeah, so but now every company is talking about mental health, and you have you know, telehealth companies, like you know, many of them that now uh have success.
00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:39.039
And now it's not a stigma anymore to say to friends, well, I have a mental problem, like even ADHD, and you know, a lot of people have now come to the fact that they're newer divergent, and yeah, autism is not anymore something that is on the fringe, like actually, even the percentage of people having autism, like some degrees, of course, is is much more uh important thanks to the city.
00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:48.320
Because we finally know more about it, and people are more willing to say like exactly society is more accepting people being neurodivergent, yeah.
00:39:48.559 --> 00:39:54.320
And so burnout, um, yeah.
00:39:54.400 --> 00:40:00.960
I think it's well, I was talking recently, we need to talk about AI.
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:12.800
Okay, let's talk about AI because AI is gonna create the largest burnout the world has ever seen.
00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:13.679
Really?
00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:14.159
Okay.
00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:17.760
I mean, it's gonna be societal burnout.
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:25.039
Okay, see, I'm confused about that because I would think AI it kind of it takes stuff off humans' plate.
00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:26.960
Why do you think it's gonna create burnout?
00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:31.599
Well, first of all, AI is okay, there are two things.
00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:33.440
It's gonna create anxiety and burnout.
00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:45.039
Okay, so burnout for the people that will stick, that will not be fired, but it will create anxiety and a sort of burnout in the sense that people will look for jobs, right?
00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:48.000
It's gonna be you've seen this already in the US a lot.
00:40:48.159 --> 00:40:51.840
Like you have companies firing people by the thousands.
00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:52.880
Because AI, yeah.
00:40:53.119 --> 00:40:54.079
Because of AI.
00:40:54.400 --> 00:41:04.320
And so, okay, you you may not call it burnout exactly, but anxiety at a high level, like mental issues at a very, very high level.
00:41:04.559 --> 00:41:19.679
And so what I'm trying to say here is that Luminara wasn't exactly created for that originally, and the story is more linked to my, you know, this whole story with Raphael and these synchronicities.
00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:24.880
But you think to yourself, why me?
00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:27.039
Why at this time on this planet?
00:41:27.280 -->
00:41:30.480
You know, there is a reason, like an underneath reason.
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:53.440
And I I'm more and more convinced that facing the massive issues, mental issues, and and stress we're gonna see in society, energy healing, and Luminara is a great vehicle for people to find energy healers, energy healing is gonna become mainstream because of AI, or thanks to AI.
00:41:53.920 --> 00:41:55.119
Or thanks to AI, yeah.
00:41:55.440 --> 00:42:03.039
Because when you lose your job, when you you kind of feel you're gonna lose your job, because a lot of people now are afraid, right?
00:42:03.199 --> 00:42:06.400
And they don't dare saying to their friends they're afraid because their friends are also afraid.
00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:09.199
And what are you gonna do at society level?
00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:23.840
Well you you won't go for a top therapy, like you may, but you don't have a child trauma to cure, you don't, you just have this deep anxiety because of society and and your job.
00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:31.119
And so you're gonna need to feel seen, to feel loved, to feel energized.
00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:33.440
And this is what energy healing is providing.
00:42:33.760 --> 00:42:51.280
Yeah, because also a lot of times there are people who they say talk therapy doesn't work for them just because they're probably not good at articulating what it is that's going on with them, or they they can't really put a word to what it is that they're feeling, or just not everyone's a verbal person.
00:42:51.679 --> 00:43:00.239
So I think the whole concept of energy healing is like a nice way to sort of offer that holistic healing for people without being like you have to talk about everything.
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:02.239
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:09.679
And I think, as you said, the the fact is that you won't talk so much about okay, I fear AI, this is gonna take my job away.
00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:12.400
This is gonna all right, that's it.
00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:16.880
It's said, like you don't have much more to say, but then it's just like okay, okay.
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:17.679
So help me.
00:43:17.840 --> 00:43:20.239
Yeah, um, talk about your childhood.
00:43:20.480 --> 00:43:30.960
No, really, I don't it's not, it's just like right now, I feel like angst, I feel like uh I feel anxious, I feel upset, I feel, and then there's no what there's help me, yes, help me.
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:32.320
Help me, what do you do?
00:43:32.480 --> 00:43:34.400
The future seems grim.
00:43:34.639 --> 00:43:35.840
Yeah, what do I do?
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:37.119
What do I tell my kids?
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:46.800
What you know, I'm a I'm a parent of two uh boys, and right now a lot of parents are thinking, what do we tell our kids to do?
00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:55.599
Yeah, and even I've heard even some people who thought about having kids who are deep into AI and think, I'm not sure I want kids.
00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:58.639
You know, my can you believe this is happening?
00:43:58.960 --> 00:43:59.760
My own father.
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:08.880
Says to me, he's like, if I was your age living in like what you're currently living in, he goes, I don't think I'd have kids.
00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:10.480
My own father said that to me.
00:44:10.639 --> 00:44:12.960
And like, my father loves me, he's a great dad.
00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:23.519
But talking about everything that's going on in the world right now, he's like, I honestly don't know if growing up how in the current way that people grow up, like kids is a good idea.
00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:25.840
It's people are a little scared.
00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:26.320
Yeah.
00:44:26.480 --> 00:44:28.000
Or very scared, I should say.
00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:28.960
Absolutely.
00:44:29.119 --> 00:44:31.199
So, okay, so what do we do?
00:44:31.360 --> 00:44:33.119
Because AI is here to stay, right?
00:44:33.440 --> 00:44:42.719
We're we're gonna, well, we're seeing some hopefully regulations coming up to for for to avoid like chaos.
00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:43.599
Yeah.
00:44:44.159 --> 00:44:52.800
But anyway, this is here to stay, and so we need to have, you know, in face of fear, what's the remedy?
00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:53.760
Yeah, what's the remedy?
00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:54.400
Love.
00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:55.840
Love, it's always love.
00:44:56.400 --> 00:44:58.239
It's always love, has always been.
00:44:58.320 --> 00:45:02.079
And it's by the way, it's the same coin, it's just two sides of the same coin.
00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:10.719
But the more fear there is, and there is a lot of fear that's gonna um increase, you need more love.
00:45:10.960 --> 00:45:14.639
And so who are the love providers right now?
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:25.280
Well, uh you could find love in religions, but a lot more people are are increasingly spiritual but not religious.
00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:29.280
Yes, the the spirit, the religion of no religion, you know, as as we call it.
00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:32.800
This is growing, this is growing so fast.
00:45:33.840 --> 00:45:38.480
And so, what do you do for this massive amount of people?
00:45:38.639 --> 00:46:05.440
Well, energy healing is, I believe, these healers, these light workers, are a very non-religious way to get your regular, weekly, daily, monthly dose of love, of positive energy that is of course healing a lot at the physical level, mental level, emotional, and energetic level.
00:46:05.679 --> 00:46:08.159
And is that what you needed after Raphael?
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:11.119
And so you want to give that to other people?
00:46:11.760 --> 00:46:12.719
Definitely, yes.
00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:13.920
Okay, that's beautiful.
00:46:14.079 --> 00:46:16.559
All right, well, last things.
00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:17.199
Yes.
00:46:17.440 --> 00:46:22.960
Let's what's next for Luminara, or what do you recommend that listeners check out about Luminara?
00:46:23.119 --> 00:46:26.639
Yeah, I'll offer a
discount coupon to all the listeners.
00:46:26.960 --> 00:46:28.079
Oh my god, amazing!
00:46:28.239 --> 00:46:30.079
Yeah, I'll offer 20% discount.
00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:30.719
Oh, okay.
00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:32.320
We take a commission of 15%.
00:46:33.119 --> 00:46:33.440
Okay.
00:46:33.760 --> 00:46:36.960
So we won't get, you know, everything will be for the healers.
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:37.440
Amazing.
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:40.159
We don't we don't cut the pricing on the healers.
00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:43.280
Uh I mean that we don't cut the what we give to the healers, but I mean.
00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:44.719
Uh, what's next?
00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:47.280
Well, it is exciting.
00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:49.599
Everything is is exciting right now.
00:46:49.760 --> 00:46:56.800
So we're partnering with an organization which is funding science around energy healing.
00:46:57.119 --> 00:47:02.400
Okay, that was actually one of my questions for you about the science and energy healing, how it's related.
00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:20.800
So we are partnering with I would one could argue the largest uh uh organization fundations uh on the planet, they're American, uh, that are funding science around energy healing, and they are producing a docuseries called Phenomena.
00:47:21.440 --> 00:47:24.480
So I'm sure you can put the link on the podcast.
00:47:24.639 --> 00:47:25.119
I definitely will.
00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:26.960
Phenomenahealing.com.
00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:27.440
Okay.
00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:30.239
And by the way, Luminara is luminara.care.
00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:33.440
Uh and so that link will also be in the show notes.
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:45.679
And so what's exciting is that so these people are funding science with very large American universities, proving that energy healing works.
00:47:45.840 --> 00:47:48.639
It is not just placebo, it is super effective.
00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:53.440
Yes, and there is some groundbreaking experiences, protocols that they've put.
00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:55.920
I'll give you an example, like a little preview.
00:47:56.079 --> 00:48:02.480
It's you know, oftentimes you have uh like a Reiki healer that would do something on a human, right?
00:48:02.639 --> 00:48:07.920
And you think, oh, but you know, this is placebo because we know the relationship, you know, you think you're gonna heal, so you're gonna heal.
00:48:08.239 --> 00:48:09.519
Well, okay, okay, fine, fine, I get it.
00:48:09.599 --> 00:48:11.280
And placebo, by the way, is amazing.
00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:12.000
Yes.
00:48:12.559 --> 00:48:15.199
Now you do this at the cellular level.
00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:23.760
So you put cells in a in a dish, you know, on a in a lab, and you have some cancerous cells inside those dish.
00:48:23.920 --> 00:48:28.639
So cancerous cells would attack the the sane cells.
00:48:28.800 --> 00:48:39.519
Well, you have a healer right here that will uh push away and reduce the uh uh amount of cancerous cells inside every single dish.
00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:43.599
Well, there is no, it's really at the cellular level.
00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:46.800
It is, it is! I'm so happy that we're talking about this.
00:48:46.960 --> 00:48:50.159
So, this is this is no placebo.
00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:53.519
This is what we could show to all the logic people who think it's woo-woo.
00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:54.719
Yeah, yeah.
00:48:55.119 --> 00:49:01.519
I mean, this and this is like this is properly tested, and so this docu series will show that.
00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:14.639
And they were looking obviously at partners, at places to give access for people to enjoy than trying for themselves, like a good energy healing session.
00:49:14.880 --> 00:49:16.559
And that's Luminara, yeah.
00:49:16.639 --> 00:49:22.400
And and to be honest with you, um, I created Luminar with you know a lot of care and joy.
00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:32.239
But when this organization uh contacted us and tried us, and they tried many platforms, we're the only one that they wanted to partner with.
00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:39.119
Oh, that's incredible, that is amazing, and that's because Luminar was born out of love.
00:49:39.199 --> 00:49:43.679
It was born out of yes, I mean, there is such a pure intention, and they could feel it.
00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:47.280
And they, I mean, they they know me by now, and I'm friends with them.
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:57.519
But it's it's beautiful, and and I you know, I feel a lot of gratitude and joy because the everything you build, and every listener should know this.
00:49:57.760 --> 00:50:00.400
Everything you build, the core is your intention.
00:50:00.559 --> 00:50:08.239
Have integrity, have beauty, integrity, and and enjoy, and you know, do something good for the world.
00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:10.880
Make it a business, make it an NGO, whatever you do.
00:50:11.039 --> 00:50:17.440
But if your intention is good, you're gonna see the the this this gonna work out.
00:50:17.760 --> 00:50:22.159
Pure intentions always play out, and that that can very much be for a business.
00:50:22.320 --> 00:50:36.239
It can very it can very much be for anything, but just if it's grounded in a pure intention, it will it's supported by the universe because it's an act of service, and acts of service are always supported, and Luminara is an act of service.
00:50:36.480 --> 00:50:37.840
Oh my god, amazing!
00:50:38.079 --> 00:50:42.159
So yeah, so the future is yeah, they're releasing the docuseries soon.
00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:52.559
Okay, we're the partner, and so yeah, and so we're we're in this together with these uh organizations to make energy healing mainstream and we will help doing this.
00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:54.559
Energy healing mainstream, that's the goal.
00:50:54.800 --> 00:50:59.440
And I'll put the link in the show notes to luminara.care and phenomena healing.
00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:01.280
Um, is there any place else?
00:51:01.360 --> 00:51:03.440
I know there's Instagram that you guys have.
00:51:03.519 --> 00:51:05.599
Is there any place else you want people to check you out?

Yeah, we have an Instagram account, illuminara.care, uh, Facebook as well.
