Rev Karen:Or your connection with your God.
Rev Karen:Also, I talk about things that are more abstract, like your connections with your
Rev Karen:career or your land, your community, your family, your emotions, your body Life
Rev Karen:is truly all about connections, and the sooner we recognize this, the sooner we
Rev Karen:get to have an easier, more enjoyable.
Rev Karen:I am gonna talk about these connections through different lenses, but things
Rev Karen:like synchronicities and coincidences, or everyday little bits of magic or
Rev Karen:miracles that we tend to dismiss, it's important we pay attention to
Rev Karen:all of this to help us, like I said, live an easier, more satisfying life.

Rev Karen:So happy to have you here, Sarah, and I can't wait to dig into the everything.
Rev Karen:Welcome to the show.
Rev Karen:And how are you?
Rev Karen:I'm wonderful.
Rev Karen:Thank you so much for having me here.
Rev Karen:I love, you know, helping empower people's health, so thank you for having me.
Rev Karen:Fantastic.
Rev Karen:Yeah.
Rev Karen:And we can't wait to learn about it.
Rev Karen:So why don't you tell me you have an engineering background, which,
Rev Karen:um, is like 180 degrees from, uh, practical spiritual wisdom, right?
Rev Karen:So why don't you tell me a little bit about your back.
Rev Karen:Yeah, so I was kind of living the standard American dream of, um,
Rev Karen:working in logistics and sales and jet setting all around, and selling
Rev Karen:software and doing consulting.
Rev Karen:And my health crashed during my first pregnancy and that health crash.
Rev Karen:Um, I grew up as in a family of western medicine.
Rev Karen:Um, you know, my dad was a, a physician.
Rev Karen:Lots of physicians in the family, and there was always a pill to fix everything.
Rev Karen:And when this happened, the doctors had no answers.
Rev Karen:They told me to avoid the 90% of the foods that were causing me symptoms, and,
Rev Karen:and that's all really they could offer.
Rev Karen:So I set off on a journey to recover my health because I felt strongly,
Rev Karen:something deeply within me knew there had to be a way to undo what had happened.
Rev Karen:And that's how I discovered this entire way of being is
Rev Karen:through my own health journey.
Rev Karen:Wow.
Rev Karen:That sounds like a painful way to discover it, but that's awesome.
Rev Karen:So can you tell us a little more about, um, you know, what you discovered and,
Rev Karen:and where you went forward from there?
Rev Karen:Yeah.
Rev Karen:Well, I began to discover that the body actually, uh, has
Rev Karen:an intelligence and that it.
Rev Karen:Stymied.
Rev Karen:Somehow something was blocking it, and I had always grown up thinking
Rev Karen:that the body needed doctors to fix it, that it was broken.
Rev Karen:And I don't believe that now.
Rev Karen:I believe what I have learned is that the body gets derailed, it's healing
Rev Karen:ability gets blocked, derailed, uh, clouded, however you wanna think about it.
Rev Karen:It, it's not connecting and firing the way it.
Rev Karen:But once we restore that, all of a sudden the body can start healing
Rev Karen:and it can happen very, very quickly.
Rev Karen:And I believe this is why we have cases of spontaneous healing.
Rev Karen:You know, there's spontaneous remission of cancer, there's spontaneous healing.
Rev Karen:Um, it's miraculous when it happens.
Rev Karen:It's amazing.
Rev Karen:And I think this is why it, the body somehow get.
Rev Karen:Re it, it, it gets reconnected.
Rev Karen:And that's what I do through my work.
Rev Karen:So I really learned about this, this foundational principle, and then I
Rev Karen:learned that the mind and the body are actually deeply connected and
Rev Karen:what we, what is going on in our soul, in our mind, in our thoughts.
Rev Karen:Deeply affects the physiology of the body.
Rev Karen:And this has been proven through research.
Rev Karen:Now, uh, we have research to back this up.
Rev Karen:It's not just a woowoo idea anymore.
Rev Karen:It's truly reality, right?
Rev Karen:And so this, these are the principles that I'm using.
Rev Karen:Wow , so so tell me about your process then.
Rev Karen:How do you help others then reclaim health and, and their lives?
Rev Karen:And let's say someone comes to you with, you know, a really bad backache or a
Rev Karen:sciatica or even a chronic, just a, a, you know, chronic inflammation, maybe.
Rev Karen:What, what's your method?
Rev Karen:So what makes my work a little different is I tune into the body
Rev Karen:and let it tell me what it needs.
Rev Karen:So this is kind of, um, it's kind of a different process because
Rev Karen:I don't intellectually know the reason for everyone's dysfunction,
Rev Karen:because we all have unique stories.
Rev Karen:We all have unique experiences, but your body knows the body has this amazing inte.
Rev Karen:And so I tune in intuitively.
Rev Karen:I use my intuitive skills that I have.
Rev Karen:Um, nurtured and trained and practiced with, and the body, you
Rev Karen:know, I can feel sometimes what the body is, is experiencing.
Rev Karen:I can hear where it wants me to focus.
Rev Karen:I can see a blockage somewhere, and I fix those problems, those blocks,
Rev Karen:those stresses that have accumulated and, and derailed the body so that
Rev Karen:the body can then start to get better.
Rev Karen:So, for instance, in low back, We carry a lot of tension in our muscles
Rev Karen:and we have a lot of imbalance in our muscles, and that creates
Rev Karen:tightness, that messes up our posture.
Rev Karen:It disturbs our alignment.
Rev Karen:It creates tension in the paraform muscle and other muscles that pinch the nerves.
Rev Karen:Mm-hmm.
Rev Karen:and create pain.
Rev Karen:So we have so many mechanisms that when we move this energy that is stuck.
Rev Karen:All of a sudden the muscles can relax.
Rev Karen:All of a sudden the posture can balance and we can get very quick relief.
Rev Karen:Now, I can't tell every single person that has low back pain that the, the,
Rev Karen:the paraform muscle is a problem.
Rev Karen:Right.
Rev Karen:But when I tune into the body, the body can tell me, with me knowing,
Rev Karen:you know, a, a, a little bit about the anatomy and the physiology.
Rev Karen:it sounds incredible.
Rev Karen:You have the RayZen technique RayZen, I don't know if I'm saying that right.
Rev Karen:So how does that work and how do other people use it or do.
Rev Karen:Okay.
Rev Karen:So, I have taught practitioners how to do this work.
Rev Karen:Um, right now I'm really being led to help people do it for themselves.
Rev Karen:So I'm really being led to provide accessible, usable tools that we can use
Rev Karen:anytime, anywhere, even, uh, so I have some digital sessions that I'm working on.
Rev Karen:Uh, really getting out there and making more friendly for practitioners.
Rev Karen:So my passion is to help change medicine like that is really what I want to do.
Rev Karen:I want to empower physicians and healthcare practitioners with
Rev Karen:tools that can help people address these aspects in an accessible way.
Rev Karen:So that's kind of a side note.
Rev Karen:Um, I have trained practitioners, there are things we can do
Rev Karen:at home to really help our.
Rev Karen:I'm actually in the process of writing a book right now, and I hope to include a
Rev Karen:lot of great information on, on this idea.
Rev Karen:Hmm.
Rev Karen:Uh, but simple things like working with our emotions, like trying to
Rev Karen:stay grounded in the present moment, um, acknowledging the stresses that
Rev Karen:we're under and how they affect our physical body and trying to lessen them.
Rev Karen:These are all amazing ways that we can decrease the stress and noise in our
Rev Karen:system that will help our physical health.
Rev Karen:We don't realize that the stress that we're under, the amount that
Rev Karen:we sleep, the food that we eat directly affects our immune system.
Rev Karen:It directly affects our nervous system, and therefore it directly
Rev Karen:affects our chronic health because inflammation creates.
Rev Karen:um, it affects the blood sugar.
Rev Karen:So you know just about everything, right?
Rev Karen:Diabetes, yeah.
Rev Karen:Yeah.
Rev Karen:High blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, chronic back pain.
Rev Karen:All of these are helped when we can soothe our nervous system, decrease
Rev Karen:stress in the system, and the immune system can get out of warrior mode.
Rev Karen:Stop attacking and start calming down.
Rev Karen:Private sessions with me.
Rev Karen:I specifically go after that and help people lower those
Rev Karen:things and correct them.
Rev Karen:But we can do a lot at home with some self-help tools.
Rev Karen:So I am in the process of trying to make more information available for folks.
Rev Karen:That's great.
Rev Karen:So I, I hear a lot about how our emotions are in our body
Rev Karen:and how we need to clear those.
Rev Karen:is this effective for things?
Rev Karen:Say I go out and I sprained my ankle.
Rev Karen:or is it just simply for chronic illnesses?
Rev Karen:So that's a great question.
Rev Karen:Um, so if we take a step back and, um, if we take a step back to the spiritual side
Rev Karen:of things, um, why did you sprain that?
Rev Karen:You sprained that ankle because there was a weakness in that area of the body.
Rev Karen:Mm-hmm.
Rev Karen:and it got injured.
Rev Karen:What caused the weakness is the real question and that is the root cause.
Rev Karen:Okay.
Rev Karen:So that's what I go after in all of my work.
Rev Karen:We're looking for the root cause.
Rev Karen:Um, the, the, so I believe that even injuries that seem
Rev Karen:random and odd are not random.
Rev Karen:I believe there's a reason that the body got injured in that way, in that place.
Rev Karen:At this time, I believe injury also helps loosen energy that might be stuck in
Rev Karen:the physiology, so we can work with it.
Rev Karen:It gets kicked up when we.
Rev Karen:Agitate, like, you know, maybe you step on a rock and cut the bottom of your foot.
Rev Karen:Well, if you look where that is on the foot, you might find
Rev Karen:there's a meridian right there.
Rev Karen:Oh.
Rev Karen:Or, um, breaking your finger.
Rev Karen:Like that's a, I've done that several times and it's a particular meridian that
Rev Karen:is related to what is going on psycho spiritually in my body at that time.
Rev Karen:So there's usually a link between the acute injuries mm-hmm.
Rev Karen:and something that the body needs to work with that it might not know.
Rev Karen:Psycho-spiritual.
Rev Karen:I like that.
Rev Karen:I like that term.
Rev Karen:Yeah.
Rev Karen:Yeah.
Rev Karen:That's good.
Rev Karen:That's perfect.
Rev Karen:So you're from this medical background with your family, a bunch of
Rev Karen:doctors, and you were an engineer.
Rev Karen:Had you already started on some kind of a spiritual path, or did that all
Rev Karen:develop because of your situation and, how did that start exactly.
Rev Karen:I mean, like, how did you.
Rev Karen:Learn what you know.
Rev Karen:so I was just, uh, a very analytical science-based, um, you know, left brain
Rev Karen:person, um, until my health crashed, I, I had a belt of food poisoning one night.
Rev Karen:The next day, I, I was violently ill for a few days while I was pregnant.
Rev Karen:Within two weeks I had joint.
Rev Karen:And food problems.
Rev Karen:I start, food sensitivity started accumulating rapidly
Rev Karen:after that food poisoning event.
Rev Karen:Um, I thought it would all go away when, when the baby was born, but it didn't.
Rev Karen:We both had health issues, so I launched off on a mission to like a mom
Rev Karen:on a mission that was me, to recover my health and to recover my child.
Rev Karen:Through that process, I started learning about tools because I was desperate.
Rev Karen:I mean, it was desperation that led me down this path, right?
Rev Karen:And, uh, I started learning about E F t emotional freedom technique.
Rev Karen:I started tapping, I started learning what the, I mean, I didn't even
Rev Karen:have any emotional intelligence.
Rev Karen:I, I could probably barely name five emotions.
Rev Karen:Uh, now I routinely work with a list of 250, so I started
Rev Karen:learning a little bit more.
Rev Karen:Yeah, there's a lot, right?
Rev Karen:Um, frustration is different from anger, which is different from resentment,
Rev Karen:which is different from indignation.
Rev Karen:So, you know, we start to learn the nuances of these emotions
Rev Karen:and we can find them in the body.
Rev Karen:But anyway, um, experience and desperation.
Rev Karen:And self-reflection and reasoning more.
Rev Karen:And along the way I was led to different resources to read different um, events.
Rev Karen:And then with the pregnancy of my second child, my forehead
Rev Karen:started suddenly buzzing.
Rev Karen:It was.
Rev Karen:Somewhat startling.
Rev Karen:I thought I was getting e m FD from my power grid.
Rev Karen:Um, but eventually, uh, the baby was born and, and, um, I wrapped my
Rev Karen:head in some faraday, you know, some shielding cloth and I still had it.
Rev Karen:So that's when I realized this was not a man-made thing.
Rev Karen:This was some kind of spiritual energy.
Rev Karen:Wow.
Rev Karen:And so it progressed from there.
Rev Karen:Wow.
Rev Karen:That sounds intense.
Rev Karen:. Very, it was fun.
Rev Karen:Yeah.
Rev Karen:now, I, I kind of laugh because it, it's really fun now because
Rev Karen:I'm like, oh, spirit's with me.
Rev Karen:I feel very connected when I feel circling in my hands or I, I still
Rev Karen:do feel circling and buzzing on my hands, my, my healing hands.
Rev Karen:So, um, that aspect is really fun.
Rev Karen:Now.
Rev Karen:At that point, I, I for sure thought that something bad was happening for me
Rev Karen:and the baby . Right, right, So do you, being the practitioner of these wonderful
Rev Karen:tools, um, for other people, do you take care of yourself in the same way?
Rev Karen:I mean, is there a, a routine that helps you stay, you know, keep your energy in,
Rev Karen:check and keep your physical body in?
Rev Karen:You know, I'm still working on that.
Rev Karen:I'm a busy mom.
Rev Karen:I have three young children.
Rev Karen:Um, so I'm still, do, you know, trying to get that good balance.
Rev Karen:I routinely do my detox, sauna and relax, uh, meditate when I'm in there.
Rev Karen:Um, I try to meditate each day.
Rev Karen:I do have a spiritual practice.
Rev Karen:Um, I also live out in the woods.
Rev Karen:I live on 18 acres where when I'm home, I'm away.
Rev Karen:It's like a little retreat, which is really wonderful.
Rev Karen:Yeah, I try to spend time out in nature and I, I stay
Rev Karen:really grounded with my kids.
Rev Karen:Um, they really do keep me grounded.
Rev Karen:I do work on myself a little bit.
Rev Karen:Uh, but normally I, I have a community of practitioners that I rely on
Rev Karen:and we help each other, we trade.
Rev Karen:So those are the ways that I personally strive to keep my
Rev Karen:energy clear and grounded.
Rev Karen:Yeah.
Rev Karen:So a support group basically for you.
Rev Karen:Yeah.
Rev Karen:That's, that's really important, isn't it, for everyone, to know that
Rev Karen:they have the support of others.
Rev Karen:You can also know for one of them that, that they have, you know,
Rev Karen:the ability to heal as opposed to them knowing it for you.
Rev Karen:So, uh, that's fantastic.
Rev Karen:So what are some steps, some people can, people can take, you know, my
Rev Karen:listeners can, um, if they're feeling something, what's a, some steps
Rev Karen:they can take to help regain their.
Rev Karen:So, um, if you, if you want easy and simple, I, I have a 10 minute
Rev Karen:audio session that balances stress.
Rev Karen:It's a stress less.
Rev Karen:Mini session on my website for free.
Rev Karen:Anytime you feel stressed, anytime you feel hyper, uh, you know, amped up,
Rev Karen:anxious, anything like that, you can listen to this and it will balance your
Rev Karen:nervous system, your endocrine system, and your mind to help bring calm.
Rev Karen:So that's a real simple, do-it-yourself kind of thing.
Rev Karen:You can use 24 7.
Rev Karen:, one of the most important things you can do to maintain your health, because
Rev Karen:what What we wanna do is prevent energy blocks in the first place, right?
Rev Karen:We wanna be proactive, is to work with what comes up.
Rev Karen:You have to get to the point where you're willing to work with your emotion, and
Rev Karen:that means if you get angry, not flipping on your phone and distracting yourself.
Rev Karen:Mm-hmm.
Rev Karen:, that means feeling the anger.
Rev Karen:Uh, expressing it in a way that is safe for you.
Rev Karen:So that, that could be journaling, it could be praying,
Rev Karen:it could be, um, meditating.
Rev Karen:It could be walking out in nature.
Rev Karen:It could be pounding a pillow, whatever it is.
Rev Karen:Um, it doesn't mean we have to express it to people, we have
Rev Karen:to express it out of ourself.
Rev Karen:Okay?
Rev Karen:So working with our emotion, whether it's anger, whether it's fear,
Rev Karen:anxiety, whatever it is, uh, is the most important step because
Rev Karen:we are taught that we shouldn't.
Rev Karen:That emotion is a weakness.
Rev Karen:Showing emotion is a sign of weakness and it means you're out of control.
Rev Karen:But that's really not true because when we control it and push it back down into
Rev Karen:our body, we are creating an energy block.
Rev Karen:We are creating some kind of storage of, of energy that is blocking our body.
Rev Karen:Okay?
Rev Karen:So that is really the most important thing, is to become aware of your
Rev Karen:emotions and be willing to work with them.
Rev Karen:when you work with people in, individual appointments, do you
Rev Karen:need to see them in person or do you work online with them somehow?
Rev Karen:I do, I do a lot of remote work.
Rev Karen:Uh, probably 80% of my work is over the phone or over Zoom.
Rev Karen:I do work with people all over the world, and it works just as well.
Rev Karen:I, I tell people.
Rev Karen:, you know, it's really what you believe, but, um, it does, it
Rev Karen:works just as well over the phone.
Rev Karen:Yeah.
Rev Karen:And does the person, the client need to be in any particular position?
Rev Karen:Like, do they need to be laying down?
Rev Karen:Do they need to be sleeping?
Rev Karen:Do they need to be awake and aware?
Rev Karen:Um, what, what is their conscious role in.
Rev Karen:Their conscious role is to be open to receiving healing.
Rev Karen:Mm-hmm.
Rev Karen:, that's really all it takes.
Rev Karen:So the calmer and more centered and quiet the person is during the session,
Rev Karen:the more likely they're going to feel the energy, which is always nice.
Rev Karen:Yeah, it's always a affirming for people to connect with sensations in their
Rev Karen:body that are happening, tingling, heat movement, um, even digestive, gurgling.
Rev Karen:Um, all kinds of things happen during sessions when energy is moving, but,
Rev Karen:Uh, but there is really no limitation.
Rev Karen:I've done, I've done sessions for people when they're flying
Rev Karen:across the world on an airplane.
Rev Karen:I've done sessions for people when they are sleeping, you know, so
Rev Karen:there's, there is no absolute mm-hmm.
Rev Karen:, but I prefer to have people with me and in a quiet state, whether
Rev Karen:that's sitting lying down.
Rev Karen:Anything.
Rev Karen:I've even had moms doing dishes while they're doing
Rev Karen:sessions, but I don't advise it.
Rev Karen:It's not my preference.
Rev Karen:Alright.
Rev Karen:So on a little, little more personal note, how does your, um, Western family
Rev Karen:feel about what you're doing now?
Rev Karen:Do they think you've gone off the edge Yeah, I think they thought
Rev Karen:I did for quite a long time.
Rev Karen:Um, . Uh, but what happened?
Rev Karen:It's actually a great story.
Rev Karen:I was actually a little bit afraid to share too much
Rev Karen:because it was kind of weird.
Rev Karen:Yeah.
Rev Karen:Um, but they were supportive.
Rev Karen:They love me, um, but they didn't wanna know too much.
Rev Karen:Uh, but what happened actually is my father had to have a back fusion
Rev Karen:surgery and it was really trauma.
Rev Karen:And he had a very difficult time recovering.
Rev Karen:He, he was, he lost his appetite completely and as a physician, he knew
Rev Karen:that he needed to eat to be able to heal.
Rev Karen:So three weeks after his surgery, he still was having a terrible time
Rev Karen:eating with his sense of taste.
Rev Karen:Everything was revolting and I was able to fix that for him
Rev Karen:in one session very quickly.
Rev Karen:Wow.
Rev Karen:And that was all it took.
Rev Karen:He's like, I don't know how that worked, but that was amazing and
Rev Karen:I'm very grateful that it worked.
Rev Karen:So, um, so now he's, he's one of my big supporters.
Rev Karen:Nice.
Rev Karen:And do you believe there can be, but can there be a blend of Western
Rev Karen:and your energy work if someone.
Rev Karen:what if someone's just half on the edge, like, maybe it works,
Rev Karen:but let me go to the doctor and get my antibiotics just in case.
Rev Karen:Yeah, a hundred percent.
Rev Karen:Um, I work with people who are on cancer journeys.
Rev Karen:I tend to work with people who are quite ill in addition to people
Rev Karen:who just want to be their best.
Rev Karen:Okay.
Rev Karen:Uh, but I deal, I, I work with people who are dealing with chronic pain
Rev Karen:and are on pain meds, or they're hospitalized with anxiety or.
Rev Karen:They're on antidepressants for severe depression.
Rev Karen:So these are all things that, that I have a lot of experience with.
Rev Karen:And the beauty of this kind of work is it's 100% complimentary.
Rev Karen:There is no side effect, there is no interaction of drugs.
Rev Karen:Mm-hmm.
Rev Karen:It's all beneficial.
Rev Karen:And as we strengthen the body, those medications work better.
Rev Karen:And cancer treatment, you know, chemotherapy or whatever
Rev Karen:agent it is, things work.
Rev Karen:As we help the body be stronger, this type of healing into a doctor's
Rev Karen:office where doctors can do what they do, I can help do what I do,
Rev Karen:and the patient gets better faster.
Rev Karen:Have you run into a situation that you, you feel like you're fighting against
Rev Karen:the Western medicine, like maybe it's taking the patient down the wrong.
Rev Karen:And, I mean, I know you're not a physician, you're not, you can't
Rev Karen:diagnose, you can't do anything like that.
Rev Karen:But do you feel like sometimes you're fighting against western
Rev Karen:medicine in a, in a person's body?
Rev Karen:No, I don't.
Rev Karen:Okay.
Rev Karen:Um, and that is because we all, you know, I have a very deep respect for
Rev Karen:free will, and we all have a choice and we make the best choices that we can.
Rev Karen:I more often feel that I'm fighting with the person because the person
Rev Karen:isn't able to stand up for themselves and advocate, or they're not able
Rev Karen:to leave a destructive relationship.
Rev Karen:Or they're not able to.
Rev Karen:And, and we're, I'm not fighting with the person.
Rev Karen:I'm trying to free the energy that is keeping them stuck.
Rev Karen:Right?
Rev Karen:So that's really what I'm doing is freeing what is binding
Rev Karen:people into the current moment.
Rev Karen:So, um, no, I never feel a conflict with a person's chosen treatment plan.
Rev Karen:They might start to feel a conflict and want to choose a different
Rev Karen:way, like maybe they decide.
Rev Karen:that they would rather tr try some, um, at home or natural, more natural
Rev Karen:remedies for an earache than go to the hospital to go to the doctor
Rev Karen:and get the antibiotics first.
Rev Karen:Right.
Rev Karen:You know, first.
Rev Karen:Um, uh, but, but yeah, I think it's completely complimentary
Rev Karen:and that's really the beauty.
Rev Karen:That is the beauty of it, because I, I could see.
Rev Karen:You know, being afraid of having some kind of judgment.
Rev Karen:It's like, well, if, if she n finds out I'm going to the doctor, you know,
Rev Karen:she might not be able to work with me.
Rev Karen:But, so that's very good I, I love knowing that, that they're, they work together
Rev Karen:no matter where it is on the spectrum.
Rev Karen:So, this is so fascinating.
Rev Karen:I'm not even sure what questions I haven't asked.
Rev Karen:Is there more information that, um, you want the listeners to know that,
Rev Karen:that I didn't ask about that we didn't?
Rev Karen:Yeah, the only thing that's popping in my mind is the, the body and the mind have
Rev Karen:a very, very, um, discreet connection.
Rev Karen:It's not just this.
Rev Karen:Esoteric thing anymore.
Rev Karen:And the way that this works is our nervous system is immediately
Rev Karen:triggered by what we think and feel.
Rev Karen:And that happens with hormones.
Rev Karen:It happens with adrenaline, cortisol.
Rev Karen:We have neuro peptides that, that our emotional communicators in our body
Rev Karen:and so many more are neurotransmitters.
Rev Karen:So when we feel an emotion, A whole chemical cascade is kicked off.
Rev Karen:That then affects our physiology.
Rev Karen:So this is really how the mind and body are connected and it's real.
Rev Karen:Um, we can't deny it.
Rev Karen:We can't talk ourselves out of it.
Rev Karen:It just happens.
Rev Karen:Yeah.
Rev Karen:So I, I just want to really help the listener understand that this matters.
Rev Karen:You know, we've always minimized our emotion.
Rev Karen:We've always minimized our thoughts, our mental state, our stress, uh, but
Rev Karen:this really affects our physical well.
Rev Karen:Yeah, it really does.
Rev Karen:So what a lot of people don't know is my history, um, was in pharmacy.
Rev Karen:So from the time I was 19 years old, I worked in pharmacy
Rev Karen:for many, many, many years.
Rev Karen:And, uh, I did some work with the studies, investigational studies,
Rev Karen:and I was always amazed at that time.
Rev Karen:So I, I was not on my spiritual journey yet at the placebo.
Rev Karen:And looking at the results of the placebo versus the actual drug.
Rev Karen:And it's like, why take the drug?
Rev Karen:Sometimes the placebo is actually better.
Rev Karen:. Yeah.
Rev Karen:. Yeah.
Rev Karen:So that's, I mean that's, you know, as far as I'm concerned, scientific proof that
Rev Karen:they don't put out there that, um, your belief is very important with the bar.
