Timothy Schultz:

I am really excited to be joined here right now with Malaysia for this testimonial. She has a really inspirational story. She was actually on the Ellen show and won $20,000. That experience and how she got there is incredible. She's also had a near-death experience that we're going to talk about. Malaysia, how are you doing today?

Malaysia:

Hi Tim. I am doing so amazing. I'm so happy to be here. Thank you for having me.

Timothy Schultz:

Thank you so much for being here. You were on The Ellen Show a few years ago. You won $20,000. Absolutely amazing. I watched the video myself but for anyone that has not watched it, what happened?

Malaysia:

I had gotten married. I manifested my husband. That's a whole another manifestation story. I consider myself a master manifester, which we all are. I just don't think many of us hone in on that but I do, and I have done that since childhood. I got married the same year that I met my husband. Like many women, I wanted this elaborate wedding. You have these dreams of the Cinderella experience and all of that stuff. When me and my husband got married, we purchased a home. We didn't have a wedding. Our home was our wedding. It took about three years to really get it furnished and all that stuff. I wanted to have this wedding and we didn't have the money to have a wedding, excess money to just put on that. We were already married. We were already in our home. We've hosted many events for family, friends. We were considering taking out a loan to have a wedding, and I know that sounds so crazy. I had these things in my head about what I thought about weddings and just my dreams. I remember it was causing a lot of tension in the home with me and my husband even having the conversations. We were going to take out a loan. Then we went to our church and we participated in this couples money course or something cohort, and we told our story. They prayed for us. They didn't down us like "Oh, that's such a dumb idea." They prayed for us. Then the next week, we made the decision to cancel everything. Mind you, we had already put down payments. You've got to put payments on venues, all the things, flowers, everything. Some of the money we couldn't get back. The lady who was running the class, she was saying "That's called sunken cost." That's when you have something happen that you pay for and you think I have to pay the rest of it, but you're going more in debt. I was sad about it. I remember talking to my sister. My sister's also a master manifester, and she was like, "You never know. You pray on it, and one day Ellen might come and give you the money for your wedding." After that, the government shutdown happened. At the time, it was predicted that I wasn't going to get paid, all of that stuff.

Malaysia:

I get this phone call. Normally you don't always pick up the phone, because you're like "Who's this? Who's calling?" You're suspicious of spam calls. She's like "Is this Malaysia?" I'm like "Yes." She's like "Do you work for the government?" I'm like "Yes. Who's asking?" Then she says something like "Do you watch The Ellen Show or are you a fan of The Ellen Show?" I'm like, "What!" Again, you don't understand what's going on. You don't get these kinds of calls every day, and then I realized it was Ellen. The doorbell rings. I go to the door. John Dorenbos is at the door. I knew him because I was an Ellen fan. I watch the show. I love the acts of kindness. I'm like, "What is going on?" They come in. It's like a big thing, this whole camera crew, and I'm like "What's going on?" They bring in all this stuff. The other lady, Jenny, she dressed up like Cinderella or something like that and she comes in. It was just so much going on. Then Ellen's asking me some questions and you can't really hear the feedback. It's live, but it's not the feedback. It may take a minute to register what's being said and what you're saying to them. Then all of a sudden the doorbell rings again, and it was my sister. I lost it. The energy was crazy. I was like, "What are you doing here?" I still didn't make the connection of how Ellen got there. My adrenaline was going, but I wanted to cry because this was such a surprise. She comes in and we play, I think it was Dorm Boss for Dollars or something like that, and end up winning $20,000.

Timothy Schultz:

Wow, congratulations.

Malaysia:

Thank you.

Timothy Schultz:

That had to be exhilarating. How did it feel to you? When this was happening, did this feel like it was real?

Malaysia:

It felt like an out-of-body experience because it was like, how does this happen? We talk about manifestation and people manifest things every single day, but things like that, how many people have been on the Ellen show? How many people has Ellen and her team come to their home out of the whole population? I think I had heard her say, "It's very low." It's like winning the lottery. It was so surreal. My husband was there. He was on the staircase. We were in the living room in the stairwell. You still didn't know what was going on and how this came to be. My sister and I don't live in the same state. That's the issue. We had a conversation the night before, and we were like tears on the phone. She's in D.C. Come on now. What she said was "You never know. One day, Ellen could be calling you and paying for your wedding."

Timothy Schultz:

When did she say this?

Malaysia:

Maybe a year to eight months before it actually happened.

Timothy Schultz:

Did you look back in retrospect and put the two together? Is that a coincidence?

Malaysia:

I did. Years and years and years later, I did. I definitely put it together about the power of manifestation, the power of obedience. My husband definitely didn't want to do what we were trying to do. He wanted me to be happy, but had we went that way and I was bullheaded, I'm not sure I'd be married today. You'd have this big festival and then you're still trying to pay this debt off. It just did not make sense at the time.

Timothy Schultz:

It sounds like it was a windfall, the perfect amount. How did you exactly win this money from this show?

Malaysia:

They ask you a series of questions on the Dollars for Dorm Boss or something like that. You have to answer the questions correctly and then you win. I think we won $10,000 doing that and then Ellen said, "We're going to double it." Our adrenaline was so high. I could not believe what was going on. When we talked with our neighbors, there was a whole thing to get this together because we live in an area that is secured. When my husband came home that day, he said, "Hmm, that's interesting." He saw this white van on the other street. He notices everything. He's a veteran, airborne ranger. He notices everything. He didn't say anything and we didn't mention it. I think we both had just gotten home more recently. When everything happened and we ended up talking to our neighbors, they had to go through the HOA to get permission. They had to get permission from the neighbors and hide in their yard. Everybody was part of this thing. That was the interesting part of it. It wasn't just somebody shows up on your door. It was a whole thing that they had to really put together. We ended up having a watch show at our house and the neighbors came over. I think we had pizza and popcorn. That was one day of my life that I will never forget.

Timothy Schultz:

I bet. It had to have been extremely surreal to have these people in your house, these celebrities. Incredible. Was the watch party the very same day?

Malaysia:

No, it airs later. We knew when it was going to air and we had everybody. You can't really talk about it before it goes live or anything. Once we knew it was coming on, we set up the party, had it at the house, and everybody came. Everybody was so excited. It just brought so much joy to everybody, the whole neighborhood.

Timothy Schultz:

I completely understand. I know this is not exactly the lottery, but you overcame the odds and got on this show. When people win the lottery, I experience this and a lot of people experience this, everyone wants to be around the scene and get some of the vibes. Why do you believe that you manifested this?

Malaysia:

I believe I manifested it because, number one, I have unwavering faith. You had mentioned about some other things that have happened to me in my life. I use the power of manifestation on a daily basis. Honestly, I practice a faith-filled life. Even when things look grim, I believe in that. I didn't imagine necessarily Ellen coming, but I imagined a way would be made for us. I do guided visualizations every single day. I'm working on one now that I do every single day, depending on what I'm working on at that time. Also, with that one, a lot of people prayed over us because it wasn't just about a wedding. It was about our marriage. It was about the sanctity of that commitment that was made before God. A wedding is secondary to your marriage. I do a lot of scripting where I write down things as they have already occurred. I have countless events over my entire life where I've manifested so many things. I don't believe it's just one thing. I think you have to exude this level of energy that you believe in the unseen. Whatever you're wanting to manifest, whatever you are dreaming for, it could happen. The only thing I caution with this is that sometimes we work on things that we're not ready for, and it can cause us a lot of harm. There's a lot of people who have manifested, who have won the lottery, who there's been things that have happened that were not good. I think the biggest thing for me is manifesting things that are in alignment that I'm ready for, because it could cause the opposite effect. Even with this, it was such a great thing. I know you probably experienced this. There's some people who are really joyful for you and there's some people who are looking like -- you know what I mean? We've had little comments from some people in the family and things like that. Sometimes it's very great, which this one was, but there's also the other side of things that happen as well.

Timothy Schultz:

Would you say that the other side of things, that it matters how you look at that as well? At least I've found for myself if you view something as the dark side, the negative aspect of it, or if you turn it around to say "What can I learn from this?"

Malaysia:

I don't know. We use words and terminology that meet our human mind, our conscious mind, and they're just experiences. It wasn't anything dark that happened. Like I was saying, sometimes it changes the dynamic of certain relationships, if you're doing well or people knew you this way or you always gave to them and they didn't benefit, whatever is the case, but I do. I look at it as what am I supposed to be learning, no matter if it's good or something that I don't necessarily like. I'm always asking for guidance, spiritual guidance. Also, when I wake up, I say, "What are the miracles that God has for me today or what am I supposed to learn today?" I used to have this show called Tiny Miracles that I had every Thursday. I called them Tiny Miracles because even if they're things that we don't think are good, maybe it saved you from something else. I'm always wanting to look at what is that glimmer of hope, no matter what we experience, to help to get us to living the life that we really want to live. Sometimes those things need to happen in order for us to see the good, because sometimes we don't appreciate it. It's like, okay, I got another manifestation. But when you've been through some things, you appreciate things on a whole another level.

Timothy Schultz:

Malaysia:

Timothy Schultz:

Which branch were you in?

Malaysia:

I started in the Air Force, but when I was deployed, I was in the United States Public Health Service at that time. Anyways, when I was leaving, I don't know if I was having a spiritual experience. I know I was, but it was almost acute stress, almost like symptoms of PTSD, the death toll, me thinking about how I can really help. I guess I had a level of empathy that was really high. I felt very connected there. Again, a lot had happened. I get home, and because I'm a mental health provider, I know what to do. I don't need nobody to tell me anything. I know what to do, so what did I do? I started working out, seriously. I'm on a Peloton bike twice a day. Me and my husband are walking. I want to get all that trauma out. I want to get that darkness out, everything that I experienced.

Malaysia:

One night, I started having pain in my left hip. I've had pain before. I used to do races, marathons. I did bodybuilding. I never competed, but I would be in the gym three hours a day, all of that life. One night, I get up and I can't walk. I was in extreme pain. I just couldn't understand what was going on. I didn't wake my husband up. I thought, again, I got this, nothing's wrong. I get up and I can't walk, so I crawled to the bathroom. I didn't even ask for help. I didn't want to wake my husband up. I went in the bathroom. I'm on the middle of the bathroom floor and I can't lift myself up. I'm just crying on the bathroom floor, "What am I going to do?" My husband hears me. He comes and picks me up. He's like, "What's going on?" I'm like, "I don't know. I'm in extreme pain. I can't walk." I went to the bathroom. He brought me back to the bed, and what did I do? Oh, it'll be better. I'm going to take some Advil. We got heat and pads. This was over a course of maybe a week or a couple of weeks. I did end up going to the ER one day. I had the "ambulance can't come." When the ambulance comes, they don't bring you to the military base. They bring you the next facility. They didn't even bring me to a hospital. They brought me to some medical center. Again, I'm thinking, "Then it's nothing. I'll get through this." They took an x-ray, didn't see anything. Follow up with your PCM. Again, I'm overdosing on Advil at this point. I have Tiger Balm. I know what to do, heat, cold, lay down, rest. The pain was bad, but I do have a high tolerance for pain. One day, it was so bad that I knew it was time to go. You know when you have this feeling that it's time to transition? I don't know if many people have had that, but you get this feeling that things are different. I knew that level of pain was unlivable. My husband's like, "No, we're going to the military hospital," and we did. They transferred me over to Walter Reed Medical Center and I was in the hospital for four days. They're running every kind of test. They had medical students, residents, everybody coming in there, classrooms coming in there, taking notes. They couldn't find what was wrong with me. I was thinking, you can't find anything? In the meantime, I was calling my family, sending texts. I was making amends with God. I was thinking about the things that I didn't do. All I could think about is, oh my goodness, I never learned to swim, stuff like that. It wasn't "I didn't make this money" or "I didn't have this title." It was none of that. It was like, "I never learn to swim." It was more so being connected with the earth.

Malaysia:

I still have the message I sent to my friend in Afghanistan, letting everybody know that I was in the hospital. I didn't tell them that I thought it was time for me to go. I felt at peace with whatever was going to happen. The doctor came in four days later and said, "Captain Harrell, we can't find anything. We're going to send you home today. By the way, because you just came back from deployment, we're going to send in the psychiatrist." Then I started thinking, am I imagining? Can I just turn this off? Bring them in. Let's hurry up. They had me on the top-level meds intravenously, and it was not working. Imagine being in pain and taking meds and the pain not going away. It was that bad. During that experience, the psychiatrist came in, evaluated me. He's talking with me like a colleague. Anyways, they ended up taking a sample out of my hip. They did what is called a fluoroscopy. They put this huge needle in my hip, took a sample. As soon as they got the results, maybe 15, 20 minutes, they're running in the room, all the medical staff, everybody, "Get her ready for surgery right away. She's got to get in there. We've got to get her to surgery." I had sepsis.

Timothy Schultz:

For people that aren't familiar, what is sepsis?

Malaysia:

Sepsis is basically the most deadly bacterial infection. When it hits your organs, it shuts them down one by one. I didn't know about it at the time, but learning about it later, I realized that people have lost limbs. People have been in a coma for months. Some people have never functioned the same again after having sepsis, and most people have to have organ transplants as well. They had to check my heart because if it had reached my heart, then they were going to have to do surgery on my heart as well. Had I not advocated for myself, again, it was a spiritual thing that was saying I was transitioning.

Malaysia:

Here's the thing, Timothy. My grandmother came to me in my dream a couple weeks before I started having that pain, my grandmother that raised me, my mother's mother. My nana was everything to me. She didn't speak, but I get messages. I always had the gift of dreams. My mom said this when I was a little girl. I would get messages and dreams. She was telling me it was time to come with her. I didn't put any of that together at the time. Again, this has been some time now so I've had some time to reflect on things. She was warning me. Maybe she even planted that seed, because I didn't think about "My grandmother came in my dream and told me I'm dying." They would have put me on that other side right away. It's just interesting how when you pay attention and you practice that mindfulness and you have that level of reflection. Ultimately, a lot happened after that. Over the course of the five years, I had nine surgeries. My weight was up to 254 pounds. I had Bell's Palsy. My face drooped all the way down on one side. I ended up getting diagnosed with sarcoidosis, so I had oral chemo. It's like cancer, basically. It attacks your organs. I used the power of manifestation out of that too.

Timothy Schultz:

Oh my gosh. It sounds like you have been through a lot. It reminds me of at hospices and such, they say that the veil between this world and the next thins or people start having experiences or feeling as if they're getting close. Your body didn't actually die, but it sounds like you were getting close and you were having these experiences. With this recovery, how did this happen? You believe you've manifested yourself back to health, so what did you do?

Malaysia:

While I was in the hospital, again, visualization, I was high the whole time. I had to go to rehab after that because I had a hip replacement. They put a spacer in my hip because I couldn't get the full hip replacement until all the bacteria was out, so it took several months. I had three surgeries within a couple of months, big surgeries too. I think my body went into shock after that. That's when I got the autoimmune and my body was like, "I don't like this" kind of thing. My hair fell out. Everything happened. While I was in the hospital, again, I'm always believing in the unseen. I didn't have Bell's Palsy and all that at that time. This was, of course, over years. I looked at my phone and I Googled nutritional places for shakes, because I couldn't really eat anyway on all those meds. I had my husband go to this place and pick up shakes. When I called the lady on the phone, it was a lady from Korea. I'll never forget her name is Marcy. I told her my story, "I'm in the hospital right now. I need to heal myself," because I believe that we're an active participant in our healing. If someone just says, "I'm just going to pray and that's it," you could, but you have to be an active co-creator with the information that you're given. She was like, "I'm going to make some special shakes for you. When you get out, I want you to come over here to meet with me. We're going to get you healthy." I told her everything. He was picking up shakes several times a week for me. They were like fruits and vegetables, and she was putting in different supplements and stuff like that. I had my husband contact my stylist to get me clothes. They brought me clothes to the hospital. Every day I changed into my clothes, and then I only wore the hospital clothes that night, not when I was in an acute situation. I was there for a long time. I would put my unit on. You wouldn't have known I was in the hospital. This is what I'm going to wear today. I couldn't take big showers at the time and things like that. I think initially, it was just bird baths and then you had to cover the wounds up and then you could get in and use the stuff just on certain parts of your body, all of that, but I got him to bring my smell good. I smell good. I look good. I'm going to heal. Ultimately I left there, went to rehab. I was in rehab for a couple of weeks. Guess what I did. One weekend, we didn't have all that physical therapy and stuff on a weekend. I said, "Bring me in the library." I did a vision board. I still have that vision board today. I put a yacht on there, all the things that I wanted to manifest. Health was first. I did all the health stuff and retreats. I wanted to do retreats. I did a vision board while I was in rehab before I came home.

Timothy Schultz:

It seems like you have your health now. What on the vision board has now come to fruition? In addition to that, what advice would you give to anyone watching or listening to this today who is wanting to manifest, whether it's health or getting on national television and winning $20,000, or whatever their goals are?

Malaysia:

Number one is being in a state of peace. Your energy has to be peaceful and you have to be in a state of joy, no matter what you're going through, and believing in the unseen. I don't even want to hear you say the diagnosis. I say it so that people can know who can empathize and relate, so that they can overcome it too. I'm honest about that. When I was sick and I was in the bed, I couldn't do anything so what did I do? I listened to audiobooks. I watched the movie Heal. I was exposed to Dr. Joe Dispenza on that, the Medical Medium, so learning about the different nature products, blueberries, things that are organic, food that we can use to heal ourselves. What was happening was the meds were causing my body to just go out of control. That's when my weight was so high, and I didn't see a way out of it. I was like, I don't know how I'm going to do this, how I'm going to get out of this. I had to constantly keep my mind going, listening to Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now, the one with his voice, listening to David Goggins the days that I felt like I needed a kick in the butt, especially being military, because it was like you're still active duty and you're 254 pounds and you've worked at the highest levels of government. I felt like my whole life was coming apart, so keeping your mind sharp as much as possible. Even if you're in those dark, dark, dark days, or going down those tunnels, there's always a glimmer of hope, so being around people who are speaking life into you, or even if you don't have it around you, listening to it. There's the different books that you can listen to or the meditations. I would do guided meditations. I would do some of the quantum leap meditations and all of that stuff. There's one other thing that I did that I would offer to people that I think was so profound in my healing journey. There's a place in California called The Reality Center in Santa Monica, California. What it is is they have technology. They have sound, vibration, and lighting. When you get there, they do an analysis of your voice with the computer and they're able to determine where the energy is in your body. If you're on fight or flight, or you had trauma, it's probably going to be in just your head because you're not feeling anything. I actually went twice, because I brought women with me the second time. Again, I started doing the retreats. When you asked me what I manifested, I've done two retreats, just got back from one retreat. I want to heal women all over the world. Once you go under, again, a lot of us are on fight or flight, so we don't get to experience a different level of consciousness because our brains and our bodies are not regulated. Our spirit, our neurological system's not regulated. We don't know it. You might be hypervigilant, but I was able to get to a pure sense of calm, homeostasis. I saw myself in the future, and you know what? That's what keeps me going. I've seen a glimpse of this lady. You know how it takes a minute to align, to connect? I was like, she's no joke. She's powerful. She's not even about power, but her spirit, what she brought was so huge. Now I visualize her. I think about her and becoming her. Her body was fit. She was toned. I'm still reflecting on her and who she is, and I'm curious. You can be down that dark path and be like, "No, it ain't going to get better," or you can think if you do, if you can get yourself there consciously, to see what the future holds for yourself and what the possibility of the future is. We don't have to align with that. We could just be in darkness. If you could see a glimpse of the possibility of greatness for yourself, and healing and joy and happiness and impact on humanity, that's what's going to keep you going. If you keep that image in your head and work on yourself and continue to align with that spiritually, then you're like, "Ooh." The minute when you have a flare up and something's happening, you get triggered, "I don't want to go back down there." I went to the ER. Again, you have these experiences that trigger you. You smell the saline. You smell the alcohol. It just brings you back, and you're like, "No, I'm not going back. Let me get into my visualizations. Let me get into my meditation, deep meditation. Let me get into my scripting." There's so many books. Me watching your show, I've learned a lot of them that I was like, "Oh, that's interesting." The Science of Getting Rich, if you're like "I just need a Cliff Note and I'm not real spiritual yet" or whatever is that case, read that book. The other one, if you've already read that one, is Psycho-Cybernetics. All my clients that I do coaching with, I tell everybody to read that book. It's by a psychologist.

Malaysia:

I teach too. I teach at a university. I'm teaching this mindfulness stuff. I was teaching autogenics yesterday and how you can self-hypnotize yourself. Your spirit is one thing. We are spiritual beings, I believe, having human experiences. Everyone says that. But if you can train your mind to allow your spirit to feel and to experience things before it comes, it's going to come.

Timothy Schultz:

You said something that I want to touch on just a little bit. I know we're running short on time here, but you said feel. You have mentioned visualization and things that you've seen. In addition to that, do you feel when you see these things, when you visualize these things? When you meditate and see these things, are you also feeling?

Malaysia:

Yes. The feeling is the secret. I think there's a book called that too. Your mind doesn't know if something is real or not when you visualize it. You can do these little exercises with yourself, but I take clients or patients through. I do this practice where it teaches you mindfulness through imagining that we're experiencing a limit. You're looking at it, you're feeling it, you're smelling it, you're noticing the textures, all of that. Then when you put it in your mouth and you roll it all around and then you take a bite, everybody that does that, they experience their mouth having that tangy sensation and their saliva. The feeling is everything. Because you imagined it, your body believes that there is a lemon in your mouth. It's hard to imagine for some people that they're in this house or whatever they're trying to manifest. If you imagine yourself doing it and feeling the way you would feel when you're doing it, you're aligning with it. Your spirit is aligning with it. You're drawing yourself towards that. That is one of the biggest things, is not just the vision with visualization, but the feeling. The feeling is very important. If you start to continue to visualize things and you don't feel it, maybe it's not something that I'm really aligned with, or maybe just not now. But as you continue to do it and you practice it, that's how you learn. I think it's important to start with something that you automatically know you can have a feeling with, so just imagining the day that you won the trophy at the race. When you were a little kid and you ran this race or you got perfect attendance award, whatever was that day for you, start with something that is easy for you to feel about. Maybe it's having a conversation with someone who has passed on. You're imagining smelling their baked goods and you're sitting with them, because you can do something that you are aligned with, that you love. Start with those and then work on the other thing that you're trying to manifest.

Timothy Schultz:

Malaysia, thank you very much. This is very inspirational. I have questions that could go on for easily another hour, but I know you're running short on time and I respect your time. Where can people find more about you on social media? Where can people find you?

Malaysia:

On Instagram, I'm Malaysia H. Harrell, I think the same on TikTok. Malaysia Harrell on LinkedIn as well. Facebook, my profile page is Malaysia Harrell as well, and malaysiaharrell.com

Timothy Schultz:

Amazing. We will put that in the description if you're watching this on YouTube, or in the show notes if you're listening to this today. Malaysia, is there anything else that you want to say that I didn't ask or maybe I just don't know enough to ask?

Malaysia:

Everything is already inside of you. I know that sounds cliché. When I was going through that, it wasn't easy just to say, "I'm a manifester. I feel great. I'm going to see the glimmer." No, it wasn't like that every day. I had to get something tattooed on my arm to remind me. It says The Art of Surrender. Surrender is the biggest art that you can practice. Once you surrender that thing over to the divine, your higher power, allow it to happen, not like it has to happen exactly like this, because there may be a better way. I think our human mind can't always conceive what God's plan for our life is. If you practice the art of surrender, what's already inside of you will come to your conscious mind and you'll see it, because the answer's already there. It's just you have to be ready and prepared and maybe release some things in order to receive.

Timothy Schultz:

That is beautiful. Thank you very much for your time today.

Malaysia:

Thank you for having me.

Timothy Schultz:

Thanks for sharing your insights. This is very inspirational. It's so nice to meet you. Thank you so much for being here today.

Malaysia:

Thank you for having me. I love your show. I binge watch everything because it's so aligned, not just manifestation. I think it's going to elevate humanity, so I thank you.

Timothy Schultz:

Thank you.
