Well, thank you. Thanks for the opportunity.

You have such an incredible story. And it has such a wonderful theme. I won't even say what it is because people know as soon as you start getting into it, but you have you have really been I mean, a lot of people that I've talked to I've been on a journey, but you've really, really, really been on a journey. And I don't even want to tell you where to start. I mean, you know your story. But I just take us back to where things kind of began that put you on a path that took you to where you are now as profound power Joe.

Okay. Well, in 1999, the doctors actually sent me home to die. I was working with some really, really good doctors, I had a very unusual condition, the Mayo Clinic, they didn't even want to see me they and they told me to wish me well on my remaining days, the doctors had been working with me for over six and a half years. For almost two of that I was on oxygen and the illness was horrible. It was really scary. At times, I would lose the ability to tell myself what I'm seeing. So like on the screen, I wouldn't be able to say that you're a human being I wouldn't. And even if I knew you, I wouldn't be able to say oh, that's Tammy. My brain didn't have that ability to decipher that. And so it was a very

Did they have a name for this.

But it was at the end, they called me a universal reactor. And what a universal reactor basically is that everything that I ate everything that touched my skin, everything that I breathed, my body attacked it, my body thought it thought it was killing me. And so my body was in hyperdrive. And so so that's why I was emaciated. And I had to have the oxygen in order to have more pure air than quote unquote contaminated air. Because every every day, regular air, air CME would make it so I would lose my vision. And one of the worst things about it is that when the blood flow was getting off, cut off to a certain part of my brain, I would say horrible, unreasonable things to people that I loved and respected. And I would have no idea what I said. And so

you had no idea, though. I mean, you can I made you skip to the end a little bit. I made your way something by asking that. But, but that was my point is that is that you didn't even know that that's what was happening. I mean, you just knew that you had the symptoms, but you didn't even have like a cause. You're like wondering, Am I just a horrible person? And I mean, I can just only imagine. So take us back. I made you skip forward to how you were feeling before you even figure that out?

Well, when I was young, I was beat extremely as a kid. And when my dad and my mom would beat me, they would yell and scream at me and tell me how I was defective. Why couldn't I be like everybody else? What was wrong with you? And they, you know, ingrain that in me? And so when I caught this illness, and I started to do that, and I started to say horrible things that people I love, and all these different things. I thought, holy shit, maybe they're right, maybe I really am this defective, bad apple. And I carried that with me. And what it was is I had made a pact I was in two different groups, for people with chronic illness. And one of my friends said, Hey, Joe, we know that you're the next to die. We know that. And we also know that it might get to the point where you may take your life. And so I want you to make a pact with me that when you get to that point that you will call me up. And I won't try and talk you out of it. But I want you to call me up. And so I can tell you your daughter's you know what was going on. And so it got to that point, it got to that point, I had it all set up. And so I called her and I said, you know I said this is what's going on. And so she said Joe let me read 13 lines out of this book and it says yeah, whatever go for it because I I didn't care. That knife was there, I was ready to do it. And so she read the 13 lines out of this book. And it talked about every symptom that I had. It talked about the vision, it talked about saying these horrible atrocious things, and not having any ability to control it, let alone know that I was doing it. And so I called up one of my doctors, and I said, I need to come in and he says, Hey, Joe, there's nothing we can do, you know, you're gonna die. We understand that. And I said, No, no, no, I should I need to come in and say, he says, Okay, come in tomorrow morning. So I brought that book in, and I gave him the book. And I said, is this mean? He says, Well, yeah, we've known that all along. And I said, You never told me? He said it. I get emotional thing about, he started to cry, because what do you mean, we never told you. And I says, You guys never did this test, there was one test that they could have taken. But what happened back in those days, you know, when companies would be always searching for the best deal for insurance, you would get different insurances every single year. And so I would have different doctors, and you know, and I had to go back and forth between that. And luckily, these two doctors were with me for a long time. But they never did that test him. He started to cry. And he said, Oh, my God, he says, What have you been thinking? And I told him, and I says, I've been thinking that I was horrible, bad egg and that there was my dad was really right. And he started to cry. And I was listening. For me. It was a vindication. It was like, Thank God, I'm not defective. I'm not I'm not this horrible, bad creature. You know, I'm not a bad egg. I'm not rotten. I don't deserve to be thrown back, you know. And for me, that was hellacious, you know, because, like, everything that was good in me was beat and screamed at me. I had it at home, went to Catholic school, there was none that started that there. And, you know, it's one of those things when you go to Catholic school, you're stuck with everybody for eight years. And so I was horrible. And so when I got sick, I tried everything that every doctor, every chiropractor, every nutritionist, every psychologist, every psychiatrist, the biofeedback, I tried everything. And nothing worked. I was getting sicker and sicker. I was getting skinnier and skinnier. I was becoming allergic, and I would get sick from more and more things. And, you know, the last year that I was ill, it was the scariest thing ever, because for me, at least flowers were safe. And I loved lilacs. And so I love lilacs, and you know different things. Well, that spring, lilacs made me lose my vision. And in so just think I walk up to you know, two and a half houses down. And I go there because I know the lilacs are I go there to smell the lilacs. And stuff like that. You know, because not only was my vision God, but it was also the orientation. I was just like, how do I get home? How do I get home and I'm just sitting there and I'm just looking around and I'm looking around and it's just like, well, that's right, the big gray house, the big gray house, we have the biggest we had a huge house. And it was like, That's it. That's it? And did I come in the back door or the front door and I was just like, but you know, I went there and I felt around the house, you know, and got up and you know, found the doorknob. And I got in there. And you know, and I stayed. But it was it was horribly dreadful, because the one thing that was the safest thing for me to be able to still enjoy. Because perfumes would blind me instantly send me into a fistful of this horrible, you know, speaking and rage. And, you know, in a lot of them would give me horrible physical pains, horrible, horrible physical pains. You know, most foods made me incredibly sick. If I had a Reaganite hallucinate, you know, if I had peas, it was like, I was kicked in the back. You know, so the, they said that it was gonna get worse and worse and worse. And they said, you know, you have to get used to the idea that you're probably going to take your own life. And it's just like, how the hell do you get used to something like that? You know? Yeah. You know, and when I went to the Social Security hearing to be able to prove that I wasn't able to work, the psychologists that work for Social Security, he came, and the judge said, you don't need to be here, you must have something important to say. And he says, yeah, he says, Your Honor, he says, I am very, very concerned for Mr. Petroski. He has this absolutely unrealistic expectation that he's going to live. And then the, you know, then he looked at me, he turned to me and he says, Mr. Petroski says you're going to die. And it's going to be relatively soon. And he says in you need to get to peace with the idea that you may take your own life and I'm just sitting there and so when you have all these people telling you that you're gonna die and you're gonna kill yourself. It's just like, you know, as I grew up my whole life thinking I was unusual and I was crazy because of all the beatings and shit So now I'm saying, like, I'm the only one that thinks I'm gonna live. And you know, and they had literally the all of the tests, you know, which were half sheets of paper, my medical file was almost an inch and a half thick of all of the tests that they have run over that six and a half years. And so, all the evidence was proving that I was going to be dead shortly. The fact that I was so damn skinny, I mean, you can see the cartilage on my nose, you can see my ribs that difference between the cartilage and the bone in my ribs. My hips look like elephant ears. And so it was a horrible illness. But I kept on going, I kept on going, and I kept on praying, you know, it's like, you know, I told God, he can go, you know, have fun with himself. Because, you know, I felt like, he didn't have in my back when I was a kid, you know, now, he's not having my back now, you know. And so I thought I was really telling them off. And I think that in reality was kind of my prayer of Job, if anybody knows what that means. They understand well, yeah. And, and so I kept on trying, and I was in a support group for people with chronic illness. And so a different friend called me up one day and said, Joe, there's this fantastic healer in town, and he's helping our friends, you know, and it was like, Really, I was like, you know, and nobody was as sick as I was, unfortunately. But he was helping other people, not just like, dang. And so she said, you know, you gotta come see him, you gotta come see him. And I said, Well, Wednesday in town. And so she named the dates, and I was like, I can't go. I was going through a really nasty divorce. And they were using my illness to keep my daughter's away from me. And so I couldn't have any I couldn't miss any time being with them, because they were gonna dock at me and all that. And so I said, you only do that I can go it's Thursday. And she goes, Well, the last day is Monday, I said, I can't go. And so Monday night, 1030. At night, she calls me up and she says, Joe, they added a Thursday, I sat up in bed was like, okay, okay, I'm going, I'm going, you know, because I was praying for something this impulsive going to help, it ends up being available on the only day that I could go. And so I went, and I watched this man help people that I knew. And it was just like, you know, they would walk off the stage without a walker, you know, or they would, you know, say that their pains were, you know, last are gone, honestly. Wow. So I went up to him at the end. And normally, I give everybody their piece and their space, but I'm fighting for my life. So I eat.

I eavesdrop on everybody that was there. Finally, it was my turn, 14 and 14 had always been my lucky number, I was a 14. And, and I told him, and I would get this horrible pain in my shoulder that was like, I got stabbed. And that would let me know that I was going to soon start talking horribly, and I was soon going to lose my vision. And he made this pain go away almost instantly. And I looked at him. And he says, Well, you can do this too. And I looked, and like, you know, you're crazy. But you know, without saying a word, he looked at me and with his eyes, he says, yes, you can. And so I went to him and his students. And after the second hour, session, I no longer needed the oxygen. And after the third, I was completely healthy. And I mean, I was skinny is skinny or skinny could be, but I could see, I could see and I you know, I went for a bike read for the first time. And I don't know how long it was so freeing not to be because part of my thing was I was I would get really, really dizzy. And I you know, stuff like that, and that they wanted to give me a walker. And I'm like, I'm not gonna take a walker, my wife at the time, she goes, take the walker, she goes, You have furniture, in between your chair in the bathroom, and we all have to walk away from the furniture. She goes, if you had a walker, you can. And I like I couldn't. So I just put different chairs that would allow me to get to the bathroom. But I was better. So I trained with this guy. And I quickly became one of his best teachers. And after three and a half years, he gave me a master's certification in Chinese energy healing. And and during that time, I also had the wonderful fortune of being able to sit with Native Americans. And there was an elder there that saw that I had these gifts as well. Like I said, everything there was anything that was in me was beat and screamed out. So I didn't know I had, I didn't know I had these psychic gifts. I didn't know that I could. I always felt odd. And I always felt different. And I would not trust people and things like that. But I never knew that it was really intuitive based. And

so this was all What about 20 years ago when this all kind of started, right?

Yeah, yeah, well, that Well, I got better. I got better and I got better in 2001. And so it's been Wow. Yeah. So when I sat with the Native American he, you know, he was such an empath that he would just see and he would look and even feel, and as he would I could feel what he was feeling and I could see the energy in the trees, I could see the energy in the rocks, I could feel it. And that's when people that had passed away started to show up as well. And so between the Chinese way, and the Native American way, I pick those up. And then for me, when I realized that I could do this, I could have gone back to the construction stuff, because that's what I did before I got sick. And my clients wanted me back. But I felt like if I did anything other than energy healing, I'd be kicking God in the teeth. You don't have this kind of a gift without doing it. And so, yeah, I can read everybody just like that. I don't, unless they ask me, I'm not. I think that your stuff is like your diary. And I don't get to look unless you ask. And then even if you asked me, what I do is, I only want to see what I need to see, feel what I need to feel and hear what I need to hear. And then only say the words that you need to hear. And so most of the time, people say what do you see? And it's like, I don't know, I don't see anything, I just feel it, you know, because if we can clear it without you having to relive it, I'm all for that. And if there's any message that needs to come through, it will, and I'll tell you what that is, you know, and,

you know, that's very profound, because a lot of people want to just like, you know, have you tell them everything. And of course, that's not what they need. But also, what makes it at least in my opinion, the way I'm seeing it, is that, you know, while you were mad at God, and you had sight taken away, you had things happen with fragrances and odors that did things to you, and horrible words and everything. It was like preparatory work, because it's like, you have to learn how to see without seeing, need to learn how to how to how to communicate, without the right words, or without the right without, without your own self being in the way and everything I mean, all the horribleness that you went through kind of prepared you so that you could actually help others. And that is just so amazing.

When people come in, and they say, Well, you probably don't know what this was like, or when I was like, Well, actually I do. I mean, there's there's very, very little that people could experience that I didn't experience, you know,

in some form or another exactly in some relatable form. Yeah.

Yeah. So it definitely is helped me with the compassion, the compassion, and then the patients, you know, because when I look at people I understand, you know, how they're fighting and how they're struggling. And, and it's something I was just talking, the first person that I work with this morning, I told her, I said, Hey, I said, everything that you know, has gotten you to here. If you want to get past here, you got to forget everything that you know, because you're diligent, you're smart, you're tenacious, and you're still incredibly sick. So let's forget everything that you think you know, and let's see where we can go. And when we do that, you know, it's amazing what ends up happening. And when I first started to be able to do it, and I would, what ended up happening is I started to work on people that my mentor worked on, and he couldn't help him and I could, and that was the guy that saved my life, you know? And so it started to blow my mind like crazy. And so I went to my minister one day, and I said, Hey, man, I said, I need to talk is okay, cool. So he says, Hey, before we do before your talk, can you read something for me, and then I'll be able to concentrate? And I'm just like, well, like, this is my diamond, you know, you gotta, you know, you can't concentrate. And so he gave me, he gave me the Bible. And it was John 1412. And which is basically, if you believe, like me these things, and greater than these things you shall do. And I look, and he's got his hands like that, and I want to talk about anything else. And for me, what that means is that I know that gift, you know, comes from creator Spirit, God, however you want to say it. And when I look at it, you know, what Christ was saying was basically is no judgment, no judgment, and basic, simple love. If you can come with simple love and no judgment, then everything is possible.

Absolutely. Yeah. I'm telling you this. This is like, this is mind blowing. I wish we had like, a couple more hours, actually. But you gotten to a place where now you are helping people but you also helping them help themselves to different ways. And so I know that you have a tell us a little bit about it. I don't know if it's like a workbook or what it is, but you have something called Power positions, instantly increase your energy and intuition that you want to give to the audience today. Yeah. So what is

this? And so over the years, I've seen things that people can do absolutely instantly that will increase their physical power, their emotional power and their spiritual connection. And the very first movement in there is just a set of movements and it's so profound that every single day Clip every single one, you know, God over the 18 years, 19 years that I've been talking about this, every single athlete has been able to improve their physical performance. And so we will test them, we'll put cash down, and they'll win the competition. And then I'll have them do this one set of movements, and every athlete can outdo what they just did to win cash. So if it's that powerful, that's like, you know, just think what it can do for you. And so, yeah, and the Nova Southeastern University, women's volleyball team, they called it the Google movement, because when they, when they did that movement, they realized that it increased their intuition just like that. And so they call it the Google Mobile. And so as a

volleyball player, I know that intuition actually is very helpful, because you have to anticipate things are coming at you and everything. Wow, that is so so cool. Okay, so what we're gonna do is we're going to put your, your information in the in the show notes so that people can get this and can connect with you. And I have a feeling you'll be hearing from some people.

And also with that, they can ask me for a complimentary discovery session, because a lot of what I talked about is so extreme, people think there isn't going to work for me. And so they can ask me all the questions that they'd like. Yeah,

excellent. Well, I'm making note of that, that will definitely be in the show notes as well. But unfortunately, we are out of time. But I always have that last question and answer just however you want. But if money, were not an issue, how would you live out your legacy?

If money weren't an issue, I'd grabbed my girlfriend, and I'd say, Let's go for a walk around the world. And what I would do is literally just walk and explore and see. And then I would, you know, see the people that seemed to need a healing. And I would ask him, it's like, because I don't believe that, you know, I don't believe in coming up and say, I have a message for you. It's like, no, no, no, I'll ask if people want. And then I would just go around and just, you know, heal the people that I see. And you know, different things like that. And just give people readings, because I love giving readings, readings are so darn easy, and so fun. And it always raises everybody's vibration around. So, you know, go and travel and explore and, you know, have fun doing it.

Well, there might be a TV show someday that maybe someday soon, who knows that has it has cameras following you doing exactly that is so cool. And I just want to you know, just thank you again, this has been great. I know people are gonna want to contact you about this. And before we leave, I just want to make sure that you get the last word, you know, anything that you feel like anybody who's listening really needs to hear from you right now.

Well, the profoundly living instead of just being a company name, it's literally you know, people will see I have literature where my arms are up in the air, okay. My daughter didn't know me healthy until she was five and a half years old. I was dying the entire time she was alive. And so when I started to not be able to use oxygen, she would throw her arms up in the air, Daddy, no oxygen. And you know, after a while, as I realized is if I'm not able to throw my arms up in the air and say, I'm living a great life. I think I'm doing it wrong. And so profoundly living is is my gift, but it's also my challenge. It's like, do you want to be living an absolute excellent life and amazing life, a life that you can say, this is awesome. Because you know what it's like, I mean, so many people are Groundhog's Day, same shit different day. You know, they say they're living the dream. And you ask him, How was it a dream that was like woohoo, you know, money that I go to houses and, you know, but they're not feeling that spark within themselves. So that's what I want people to do is I want them to realize how awesome they really, really are. And to be able to feel that within themselves every day.

I love it. Thank you so much, Joe. This has been great.

Thank you. Thank you. This has been fun. I appreciate it.
