MIND AND BODY HEALING IS SOUL MEDICINE With Eva Vennari

Hello, it's Howard brown. It's the shining brightly

show. Got a great one for you today, man. We just love here to

inspire. We motivate, educate. And it's just, it's just a joy.

So I have all the way from the West Coast, evolutionary evil.

Welcome. How are you today?

Thanks, Howard. I'm glad to be here. Thanks for

having me.

Oh, well, just a quick cautionary note. What's

your cat's name?

June,

June might make an appearance, we don't know for

sure. But if, if those that are watching on video, they'll know

it might see a kitty cat, you know, jump across the screen.

Don't get scared. It's all good. And we'll see if, if June has

anything to contribute, but we're not sure. I want to tell

you that Eva, and I just met and I want to introduce you to her.

And, man, she's just got an interesting life. And that's

what we love, interesting people that can really have overcome

stuff and what they learned from it. And you certainly have, and

so Reverend, even our she's the founder of the Elevate

Institute. It's a spiritual Alchemist. And she focuses on

removing the blocks to achieving longevity, and healing of

chronic illness for people that are in the prime of their life,

for professionals and, and people that are trying to really

make a difference in the world. But life is hard. Sometimes. She

loves to witness the character development of a person who

wants to grow and be better, make a better life. It's

awesome. So with that, okay, big intro. Tell us maybe something

that we may not know about? Yeah. What do you want to?

Most people don't know that I like to sail plane

glide.

You Do? Do? Do you need a licence? Or do you need

training? Or how do you do that?

Yes. And yes, while you're learning, you get to go

up with an instructor. And it's really fun and a little exciting

and a little bit scary. When you're up there in in the sky.

And I hear a little voice from my instructor behind me. You

have the plane, or I damn well better have the plane.

Wow. So that must be really freeing. You're you're

gliding over land and sea and the views are beautiful. Wow.

What does it feel like?

Oh, it's like being a bird, I would imagine because

you follow the thermals, which means find a cloud and and you

flow up? Have you ever watched a bird like a hawk or anybody who

needs that glide? And they go up and you wonder how they do that?

They're being carried out by the thermals. So find a bird find it

and follow it up and that it feels like it I had a bird one

time look over our shoulder at me. What do you do in there?

Well, now we know everybody knows about it. So

wow, that's really cool. So thank you for sharing that. Tell

it give us a little background of who you are and what you've

been through. And you've been through quite a lot. So let us

know what's going on. And where your where your background a

little bit more. Yeah,

I mean different depending on how far back we go.

It's, it's been a life of hard lessons. You know, it's been

jumping into the pool at the deep end with a big old cannon

ball, and then, you know, dog paddling my way to the sides to

survive. And that pretty much sums up my life. And to give

that a framework. I just remember being very sick and

very lost, very depressed in my teenage years. More so than my

call colleagues call me. They weren't colleagues, they were

students, fellow students in school. And that developed later

into other chronic illnesses that kept me from living a full

life where I had to measure my social interactions. So whereas

other 20 and 30 year olds were in state that whole decade

because I was sick during that time, 20 to 30 year old people

were out partying with their friends and having drinks and

having cocktails and enjoying whatever food they liked, and,

you know, meeting up for coffee or whatever, that couldn't be me

because one glass of wine would take four days to recover. And I

could not eat whatever was in front of me, I had to measure

what was in front of me. And I don't mean with a scale. I mean,

I had to stay away from and I'm Italian, I had to stay away from

bread, pasta, right? Thing, anything that was had gluten in

it, and I'm not celiac disease, I don't have that. So there was

a long drawn out period of the dying mate way too young, way

too young. And during that time, I also got married, had two kids

divorced, moved several times change jobs several times and

because I was chronically burnt out physically, the Jobs had to

stop and then start all over again once I recovered. So there

was a constant amount of upheaval in my life that I

simply didn't know what was going on and could not find the

answers with traditional means. is going to the, you know,

psychologists are going to the medical doctors everyone said,

there's nothing wrong with you. Wow.

So you know personally that something's not

right, something's not sitting well with you. And it's

affecting you emotionally and physically. And you're trying to

raise two kids, you want to know audio immune disease, and also a

divorce. So what you're still standing, you're here, you know,

you came through it, but boy, it was a tough time.

Tough times. And I can remember thinking and saying

to my friends, boy, I'm surprised I'm not an alcoholic,

like there are ways that we overcome diversity and not

adversity. And for me, the one thing that stopped me from doing

that was if something happens to my girls, and they need to be

driven to the hospital, I don't want to be integrated. Right? So

the sense of responsibility that I felt, I'm like, Okay, I chose

to divorce I chose to raise these two kids on my own, I need

to be responsible for this. And that's what drove him forward.

And every little step Willie was a baby step to make sure I kept

going because otherwise, there wasn't, there wasn't any

encouragement elsewhere. Well,

it's, it's interesting. So I write about it

in my book, is that what we all get knocked down in life and in

business, and in relationships, specifically, and me specific

and health. And I call that walking in darkness. Other

people call it other things. But there's a lot of lessons learned

there. But you don't want to stay there too long, because

then you might drink or you might become abusive, or you

might want to take drugs, or you might want to do some harm to

yourself. So there's real lessons to be learned there. And

that's the important thing is to learn those lessons, and then

come out of that darkness and use the light and walk in the

light and use the light from others. And so there's the theme

of shining brightly, right. But it's, it applies to everyone.

And so, you basically, you know, there's a lot of great things

that you are doing, you probably didn't give yourself credit for

raising two, you know, daughters is not easy for anyone,

Parenting is hard. And but yet you did it, and you sacrificed

for them. And so you did the best you can with what you got.

And now you've got lots of lessons. So you've you started

to build some learning. Tell us about your learning journey.

The learning journey? Yeah, it was this

discovery of understanding what I stood for. And I knew for

sure, I did not want to take drugs. I mean, I mentioned you

know, drinking alcohol was difficult for my body to

overcome. So drugs of any kind, I thought were going to

compromise my body too. And so when the solution provided was,

well, we should think you should take this antidepressant I went,

I'm not so sure that that's the right answer. Because what's

going to happen if I take this drug, and there's a side effect,

I answered me, well, about four, you know, three or four other

symptoms could come up, and you'll end up on for more, you

know, prescription drugs for those and then eventually you'll

become a ward of the state because you won't be able to

work and therefore you'll be taking Social Security

disability, and they painted this whole picture for me,

because why they've seen this. And I like people who come in

with chronic fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, depression,

fibromyalgia, all of these things. They said, We're

incurable. That's the path they end up being on. And I said no,

to all of it. I said, No, that's unacceptable. I want a life

worth living, for me, and for my girls, and for whatever else

that's ahead of me in life, because I know that this is not

all there is. And that understanding of an unmovable

boundary was the place from which now I could discover what

was appropriate for me. And I just kept having this belief, if

you give your body what it needs, it can heal itself can

come from anywhere. It's a very Eastern tradition, idea,

something that we don't learn in the West. But I had it and I

felt resonance with it. So I just kept with it. And it took

me a long time it took me 16 years of seeking out help and

pain relief and you know, going getting massages getting a

Rolfing discovering what could have look at help, you know,

what should I be doing as modalities to help my body be in

less pain, because when you have fibromyalgia and and arthritis,

you're always in pain. So 16 years of all of this pain, I

would not take anything that would just get rid of the pain I

needed to get to the bottom of it. And that was the discovery.

That was I need to find what feels that that goal, give your

body what it needs, then the question is, well, how do you

know what your body needs? So this is when I found the mineral

balancing work that I now offer and it made absolute sense to me

when I saw it, it resonated with me it fit that boundary and I

said okay, I need to learn everything about this

I want it the reason why I found you so

captivating and interesting is because I come from the other

side of it, right without medical technology, a bone

marrow transplant chemotherapy, I mean, the real science,

they're putting that poison into me. I don't believe that I would

be here today. And everyone has to find their balance. Now, I

will tell you that after now I'm in survivorship mode here, I

have what's called chemo induced peripheral neuropathy, that

poison burned out the nerve endings and gives me extreme

cold sensitivity and numbness and burning in my fingers and my

toes and my hands and feet. And I have, I tried the medicines,

none of them worked. They made me sleepy, they they didn't work

anyways. And I've also tried some natural stuff too. So I'm

still in the exploratory phase for that. But my my my one

medicine that I do take for my chemo brain, which is a form of

PTSD or brain fog, coffee. So that's that, that helps me a

lot. I have my cup of coffee. So but I just wanted to kind of

point that out and paint that picture, because I'm still in my

learning stage here now about alternative healing. Because I

did not come up through that, that whole funnel, and why when

you talk about mineral balancing, this is the lesson

that you've learned. And I'm so intrigued by it. And I want to

learn more.

Yeah, well, you're pointing out a really good

distinction that I don't think that Western medicine is bad.

And I just think there needs to be room for both. And for those

who think the only answer is medicine, in other words for

chronic illness and the things that I listed off, medicine is

not the answer. And they'll tell you that they told me that for

16 years straight, we don't know what's wrong with you. So when

you have something going on, that's more like what you're

talking about cancer, I would consider that trauma. So

something's cut off something has a serious disease. And this

is trauma care, go to Western medicine for that they know what

they're doing. But you cut your finger off in the middle of

making dinner, have them put it back on no amount of shaking a

dead chicken over your fingers is going to make the thinker

reap be attached. Right. And it has to be appropriate response

to the problem. So for trauma care, yes, for healing, you will

have to do something different. And you mentioned that

alternative medicine. What's crazy to me is in the Western

countries, and I mean, the UK, Australia, United States,

Canada, we all in New Zealand, we're all separating the two.

But in Europe and Eastern Eastern countries, they

understand medicine includes alternative medicine. And that's

how they treat their patients. You know, so it's a different

mindset is a different way of thinking. Yeah,

so what is mineral balancing? Mineral

balancing is the science behind the relationships

of minerals in our body. So I'll give you a comparison. So when

we get our blood tested, we are seeing the result of what is

high or low existent or non existent in blood. Mineral

balancing is based on a hair mineral test. And this is a

biopsy of your hair comes out of your head. And we're not seeing

what is in the body because I just said it's coming out of

your hair. The hair is the soft tissue, which is the result of

everything you take in. So think about what you eat, what you

drink, what sits against your skin all day long. It doesn't

wash out in the rinse cycle, all of that goes in. It's a big

party, there's no doorman anywhere that says you're a

toxin you have to stay out right it's all gonna go in I know a

scary, your body makes more you based on priority. It says I

want minerals first. But if you don't have minerals in your

diet, or in your air or in your water, guess where it's going to

do, it's going to replace that mineral with what is available

everywhere plentiful Li and that's toxic metals. So just

like a spare tire goes on a car that's popped, it's tired, you

get a temporary replacement. It also just like when a car if you

put a spare tire on your car or automobile, it's not going to

function as well. You can't make that U turn early as well.

You've come to a break in your car shimmies, and all these

things that we know don't work right when you don't have all

four tires. The same thing is true with the human body. So the

more toxins you have, the lower your immune system is, the more

likely you can't overcome viruses that you're exposed to

that kid that sneezed on you in the elevator, guess what your

body's just going to ignore and go Well, I'm gonna pack this

away and cause inflammation and other problems because I don't

have the energy to deal with it right now. So I just bring it

home like this is the difference between just looking at what's

in your blood, we test our blood, why don't we test our

hair. And there's so much here to learn about the body, how it

works and what it needs. And when you know what it needs.

You're now empowered to give it that what it needs.

That's cool. As I said, I'm a student here you're

the teacher and what it needs, I really appreciate that. And so

you call your practice the ascension practice, you've

started your own institute. And when someone when when, when

your clients come to you, where do they start? What do you what

do you start with in your practice?

Yeah, I bring in into a conversation, because

it's very often that a person has been playing the whack a

mole method of healthcare. I have this problem. So I'm gonna

go to this specialist, I have this problem. So I'm gonna go to

that specialist. Take their trauma care to a psychologist,

they take their pain to a doctor, and maybe they take

their sins to, to the, you know, the Reverend. You have, right

all of these different people that are involved, but rarely do

they see the whole body, the whole person? And that's what I

get to do I get to take the intake, find out what's going on

with the person, how are you experiencing your body, are

there physical things in the way and 100% of the time, the body's

not mineralized properly. So we'll get that going. So that

you can process emotionally figured out your boundaries

better improve your relationships with others, and

it seems to be a waterfall effect. You know, it's it's a

catalyst, we start at one place the physical body and then move

through because the body needs energy in order to process

emotion. And from there, we look at also the spiritual side, as a

medium, and psychic and every other label you can put on me. I

have so many gifts, I feel like I've gone through the Walmart

spiritual store before I became human, and said add store to

cart, because I keep developing new gifts and things like Soul

retrievals, ancestral wounds and healings. auric field clearings

I mean, you name it, all of these things become needed, as a

person develops more energy in their body, and now they're

needing to process wounds. Sometimes the wounds are not

from this lifetime. I know. So we can, we can develop things

that get in the way of our life, unconsciously, completely

unaware of them and try so hard a whole lot to try to reconcile

them for our experience and can't. There's a lot of anxiety

that goes with that. There's also a lot of anxiety that goes

with having too much copper in the body. So there's a bunch of

different things that can all lead to the same symptom. And

that's why symptoms are not your problem. So where do they start?

Start with the body, but it's a full intake, I listened to a

person for you know, we sit down for about 20 minutes, and I just

want to hear what's going on with you. And then I come up

with a, I call it a prescription, but I'm not a

doctor. So a plan forward.

I think it's fascinating. Because it takes

all sorts of, you know, Mind, Body Soul, and you just while

you got me thinking about past life, again, I didn't ever occur

to me. So I would call you a healer. But you're also much

more than that. We really are I mean the Walmart of of healing,

love that analogy. Load up the whole cart, right? But it's

really important, and you're helping people and that's that's

what I love is that you actually have real results that people

are actually feeling better living better. living healthier.

Right. And so give some success stories anonymous success

stories, of course. Yeah,

absolutely. I so the most recent one, I was heard

on a on a paranormal podcast about ghosts and haunted houses.

And one of the houses that had appeared on like a ghost hunters

type show. The owner called me up and she's like, I'm done with

all of this experience. Can you please clear my house and so we

spent an hour on the phone and went through and cleared up the

house. So she had someone had called himself in the house

years ago and created basically a hellhole type environment in

her garage to the point where she was fearful every time she

went and she just felt this fear and dread and sorrow like it was

affecting her. And she didn't know what happened. But I was

able to psychically tune into the space and that's just one of

them. We were able to clear that heal him and move him on. I'm a

fairy person to the other side of the veil so I can send people

off to heaven. There's all kinds of things that we had to do it

was layered one after another and we finally cleared it and

when we were done so let me let me put it this way when we

started the call has it how you feeling? I want to tune in to

you. She goes, I'm so scared. And I says why is that? And she

says because I'm home alone. You imagine always being so scared

just fearful when you're in your own home. So when we were done

has this How are you feeling now? And she's like, I've never

felt so I don't even have the words and it was really at

peace. She's never felt so at peace at home. She didn't even

have access to the words.

Wow, uh, Powerful. That's

one example. That's a spiritual healing, I do that

remotely. And that's very gratifying because it's instant

results. And then I have other folks that have been with me on

just the mineral balancing programme, I had a gentleman who

came to me could not eat, he was five, eight and weighed 125

pounds is way too thin, he wasn't able to eat food in so

his body wasn't able to process anything and he wasn't able to

work obviously can't work, you can't sleep he couldn't, he had

five children still does, that he could not take care of them,

couldn't make them lunches for school is really abysmal is like

the life was stopped. And he was panicked. And we started him

slowly on the programme, within a couple of weeks, he was

stable, and his body was now retaining food. And he was able

to eat more and just progressed until, you know, at some point,

he didn't necessarily care so much about, you know, the

minerals on his test, he wanted to know how he could now build a

better relationship with his wife because he felt better. And

he went from not being able to have that relationship with his

wife and all intimate relationships want to now being

able to and there there was a, you know, energy exchange

between them and now had to occur, she was used to taking on

the full load of the household and taking care of him too. And

so they're having to re trust rebuild. So this is where we

learned about boundaries, and how to, you know, empower

yourself. And so to get back out there, and I had to go through

the same thing for myself, like, at one point, I started to have

a greater sense of social interactions. And I, it doesn't

take me four days to overcome a glass of wine anymore. It's

like, you know, 30 minutes or whatever it is for your liver to

metabolise it's normal now, so the healings, whatever you've

had in your past, you can recover, the time it takes to do

it, when your body decides to do it, that's up to your body, it's

not up to us here. And that's what we need to get over need to

stop getting in the way of our feelings, but that's how it

works. I

will tell you that what's been really enlightening

for me coming through cancer once at age 23. And now, you

know, a 58 Is that actually recognising the totality of what

I've been through these seven years, and I'm giving it its

space, and I'm trying to, you know, emotionally, you know, you

know, really recognise what I've been through, the appreciation

is there, the gratitude is there, but the magnitude of a

near death experience of being told, you know, you have six

months to live get your affairs in order, again, in my life,

but, and I've just powered through, you know, physically,

and I'm repairing, you know, financially and also in

relationship, because, although there was lots of things ebbing

and flowing, there were some so strong relationships, there are

other relationships that actually had to either end due

to either negativity or for lots of reasons, so have to decide

and have the choice now whether to rebuild them. So I call my

process, Humpty Dumpty version three Dotto, and I'm putting the

Dumpty back together again, the old nursery rhyme. And so it

just shows we're all a work in progress, and it is all

interconnected. Well, I again, and now I've opened myself up to

learning, I have to tell you, you and I before probably

cancer, do we we probably wouldn't ever cross paths. And

now I'm learning from you and trying to understand maybe that

I have to let some of this stuff in. And it could change my life

for the better. And you have now proof cases that it does. And so

I should be open to that and I am and hopefully others are as

well. Tell me about your book and your both your books and

because it's really interesting that you're published and you're

teaching people Yeah,

it's it's interesting. A lot of people

want to come to the end of the of their healing story. And when

can I be off suppleness? When can I stop taking the test. And

then when they read this book, they realise, oh, this is a

lifelong journey. I love my clients, and I don't want to

have them to depend on me, but I want them to understand how to

care for themselves. And that's really what the story of owning

your beauty is all about. So owning your beauty is my two

step two prong approach to help with how I tried to attack it.

My version of I want to look better. So I'm going to go to

med spas and find out you know, what can I do to get rid of

these age spots at in my 20s Read rediculous Why do I have

grey hair in my 20s like these things are reflective of what's

going on inside and so this book ties the dots are connects the

dots between what's what shows on your body as premature ageing

and completely interprets it and shows you here's where the crux

of the problem is and how to fix it. So that's that book. Then in

healing medicine, healing, sorry, energy healing and so

medicine that book, I go into the miracles so talking about

the my awakening journey, the exorcism that had it take place

for me, and how I was trained by angels how to vary people over

from being a lost soul here and 3d into heaven. So those are,

those are the two books that I currently have published. Now I

will include your Amazon link, of course. And it's

there's fascinating because I've only just started taking a look

at those, but people will dig into that and see where it

applies to them, of course, so Well, I this is only a short

show, and I want to actually shine brightly on you. So get

your sunglasses, we're going to shine and put the shining

brightly spotlight on you now, because I want you to tell

people how to get a hold of you. And then you have a free gift.

So tell us about that.

I do so the How to Get a hold of me is easy, you

just go to the website, the Elevate institute.com. And

you'll be invited right away to sign up for the newsletter,

which then leads to something I called Apple a Day. So you've

been told the apple a day keeps the doctor away. But nobody

tells you exactly what's in that Apple except me. So you'll get

that delivered safely to your inbox five days a week, if you

sign up for that. And you're also invited, if you want me to

listen to what's going on and see how I can help if I can help

sign up for that free 20 minutes is going to be at the very

bottom of the homepage. Start here on my calendar.

Yeah, let him know shining brightly sent you as

well. All right, this show always ends with inspiration,

give us a quote, give us a story and then kick it back over to

me.

Yeah. So I love the quote by Carl Jung until we make

the unconscious conscious, we will they will rule us and we

will call it fate. And I believe that that is the journey is that

we are to not only have the right and responsibility, but

the ability to find out what is in our unconscious mind so that

we can bring it forward and live the contract that we have with

God and bring our gifts into this world. Because if we're

not, then we're denying the rest of us.

I love it. And you got to start at home, lift up

yourself before you can lift up others and share that light. I

love that. So I remarkable, I said that part of the show is

selfish, I'm learning and you helping me learn things that I

don't normally know about associate with. And I'm open to

that now. And thank you, thank you for doing that for me. And

I'm so glad that that we've met and now sharing together as

well. The shining brightly show is just pure joy. And it's just

pure inspiration. So you can find me at shining brightly.com

You can find the book. It's doing great. And it's really how

to lead a resilient life with hope. And if you'd like me to

speak at any of your events, or facilitate a workshop, please

contact me for that. My I bring a lot of energy and a lot of

positivity to all the events. And then lastly, this podcast is

doing great. It's reaching so many and but more importantly,

on my website, I talk about my advocacy and what I care about.

And I care about actually helping people in the cancer

world. First of all, don't get it. And second of all, if you do

get it, we can help you a lot. And also with survivorship,

putting those pieces back together again. And so let me

give a shout out to some folks that helped me every week my

publishing house, a front edge publishing, read the spirit.com

Great, great weekly magazine comes out on Mondays and talks

about religion and spirit and faith. And then lastly, my

podcast crew. The folks that amplify network just they make

me look good each week. So thank you for that support. So

remember, if you choose to shine brightly, just a little bit each

day for yourself and for others in our communities in our

neighbourhoods, the world does become a better place. Eva,

thank you for being here, learned a lot shared a lot and

we're going to share it with the rest of the world. Thank you. My

pleasure.
