Hey everybody, it’s Dr. Sam and I want to welcome you to another EyeClarity podcast. As part of our Summit Series, as you know, I’ll be holding my second annual Whole Health Summit, which will be January 14 to the 16th 2022. Today, we have a good friend of mine and she is a just off the charts healer and teacher. She’s living now in New York City and I’ll give you her bio. Her name is Alexandra Defacio. She’s a Holistic Therapist, reiki master, modern shaman and I’ve experienced her healing firsthand. She has been trained in the ancient Ayurvedic medicine initiated in the Amazonian shamanism. And Alexandria, want to welcome you to the program today. Thanks for joining us. How’s it going? How are you?
01:08
Thank you so much for bringing that honor to be here with you again. I’m doing well. There Well, good.
01:18
Glad to hear it. I know when you were on the summit last year, it was the most powerful presentation. And people had such life changing experiences, through your teaching and your presentation. And so I had to bring you back because people are like, oh, we need to work with Alexandria again. So I’ve got a number of questions from listeners. Some are mine, some are yours. So I want to move to the first question. And this is from Julie. And she’s from Seattle, Washington. And she is really struggling with the news. And you know, COVID is back. And what she’s asking is what are some practices that can be done to help develop
02:17
stillness. Okay. The first thing is about breathing is about breath. So when you woke up in the morning before you get up the bath before you get up off the bed in the morning, I suggest for everybody to tap into your thymus and say to yourself, I ask you ask yourself permission to be nice units. I access my super consciousness and I access my intelligence. You access yourself ask yourself how can I be in a stillness? you the only one can answer yourself in breathe through because prana life force energy is through breath in breath can comes down your nervous system and calm down your body. So ask yourself what can I make me happy today? How can I be stillness and be the witness of yourself? In co Why am I am so anxious because that’s on the corrective. But another thing if the TV is being is being affecting your life, how about just watching the news on Lifetime? Right now in a in a in a daytime? Daytime you watching the news night? No night you have to put some music classic music by your narrow music or watching something that’s gonna really nurturing you not make me scared because if you listen the news before you go to bed you get up in the morning feeling anxious you know feeling feeling sad feeling like all over the place. So as soon as comes like I get totally permission to myself that should be my illness my silence you might found we make peace and you breathe to death to breathe that breathing a bad Indian witness can you put yourself to observing what you’ve been doing? I you like doing everything for everybody and you forget about yourself or make some I honor myself today you’re going to make a cup of tea. And then you’re going to put some music in I’m going to breathe into my body. That is a way to bring stillness. There is another way you can be best to like make a beautiful bath and go there for 20 Allow yourself to take 20 minutes of your time for your you don’t give time to ourselves.
04:57
Yeah, so true. I mean, you’re talking about self care. You’re talking about the breath. So important, we get under stress, anxiety, we’ve watched the news, we stopped breathing, and water, the water element being able to soak in there and, you know, reset our nervous system and do a major mental reset. So thank you, thank you for that. Let’s move to, you know, I have an international following. So, I want to bring in this question from Terry, who lives in Berlin. So, you know, he writes me a lot. And he, he says, you know, you live in a really beautiful place, Dr. Sam, but I live in the center of Berlin, it’s really hard for me to find my center. How can I do that? What are some practices I can do?
05:48
You know, first align yourself within your area of the city. Any city in the world has beauty to any use their energy, because on a city, much more energy, sometimes can be more chaotic? Use their energy for your transformation, tap into their energy for your transformation. I don’t know if that makes sense. Of course. Yes. Absolutely. So much openings, expand, you know, but you’re in a series, you’re like, how can you use the energy to moving my projects? My guess? I lost you. Sorry,
06:31
I lost you back. We’re back. No, you’re back. Yeah,
06:35
like, align yourself, allow yourself to align yourself with the CD, whatever you are, that is building everything in if you’re there, why? Because you have to be there. So learning with the energy of the city for your progress.
06:56
That’s great. And, you know, we, we have so many friends and family that live in the city. You know, I’ve got a lot of friends that live in New York City, like where you are. And I am sure that, you know, with your clients and with what you’re putting out for people, you’re helping them align to the city, because cities have such amazing energy, don’t they? I mean, it’s just the creativity, the passion, the you know, like you say, even the chaotic energy, we can tap into that. And that’s great advice for him. Because we can just get so overwhelmed. Because you know, nature is maybe not quite as is there as say, you know, other places, but there’s still ways to connect. So thank you. For that. Let’s move to let’s see, this is Lisa, and she’s living in Phoenix, Arizona, and she’s asking a question about how to prepare for 2022 What are some rituals or, you know, ceremonies that that one can do to get ready for the crossover?
08:15
Yes, excellent. Ah, first one, I’m going to suggest the first for your house, your house is your reflection of yourself. So I of course, you’re not going to have the time to clean up everything, everything that’s owed everything that’s broken in your house, out of the house before the 2022 everything that’s like if you have a piece of a like you know, like anything that’s broke, take it out of your and I suggest for you to use like a sage and you can sage your house if you okay with this with the is merge to the smoke, you can go from the first door and you can go clockwise in a whole house and you finish at the door and keeping the windows open just to Flushing all this is smoke in this Oh, energies and then you can invite new energy in you can invite the new industry bringing like white flowers, roses or planting to the house. That’s a good way to do that. Also invite the energy in your house with music, put some music that you love in bringing that energy to the house. And then for yourself. I suggest that is a very nice bath that you can do for cleansing yourself for the year. I’m going to do my tomorrow. So first you soak yourself just on a sea salt, like a just a handful of sorry, of assists out into the bath. Soak yourself for for 20 minutes there. And then when you done you rinse the water in you have a waterfall. Put a petals of flour into a bucket with your lavender or little bit honey. And you throw from the hair through your through your head all the way down. So you’re gonna shield your whole body in water flowers. So for the is about sweetness. So you can put a tablespoon of honey soft to bring a Sweeting sweetness to your life. The flowers bring beauty, beauty, color, color to your life. So you can bathing yourself in that beautiful water flower as much as you can in wear light collars for the new year. Light collars is very good because you’re moving Danish even if you’re going to pass a home, you can wear a pajama but put something like like blues and pinks and whites and greens, light and soft. That’s my suggestion for 2022. And 22 is about pillars is about creative structure, which is structure to use, like to creating a house. So make at least writing in your journal what you want for 2022 What do you want to be different in our lives? So now, for next?
11:29
Yeah, I mean, these may sound simple, but they’re so profound. And making a gesture making a ceremony making an intention mentally, really sets the stage for what we attract, and, and you know, all of the things that you’re saying such such wonderful reminders. So, I know, I know, she thanked you. So I want to move to Allie, and he’s from Toronto, Canada. And he writes me and he says that I attended Alexandra’s presentation last year, and I’m not the same person, it was so life changing. Can can she talk about her process when she uses the drum and she starts chanting? What happened? I don’t really understand. But I know that I felt completely different. I wanted to cry after and after I released that it really changed everything for me in 2021. Yo, Alexandria, what do you have to say?
12:45
We are, we are magnificent beings in this physical body, you know, we have to accept this. And all the molecules in our body are connected to the universe and connect to Earth. Correct. So we are molecules of energies, frequencies and sounds. When I open myself to that frequencies in energy, my body expands all over the cosmos, not just on a planet, that way I feel because I bring all the intuition. From lifetimes. Past Lives parallel lives in time and space. So whatever we tap in, in that’s what I pick it up in my body, my energetic body, what’s going on with the planet in with people and with everything. So that’s the way I check all my work. Sometimes I can come like, Okay, I have, let’s go talking about love. And then I can hear is about stillness. So like, you know, like, I listen, what’s the, the collective needs at the moment, in everything’s okay, I’m not looking for perfection is that’s the first one. If you want to be a good healer, in healer of yourself. Don’t look for perfection, we are not perfect. Just accept or whatever it is. That’s the way you heal. Let’s say if you’re sad, if you embrace your sadness, you give it permission, you hold the space for the sadness, to come up in release. If you keep putting your sadness under the you know, under the carpet, and keep Oh, I’m happy today and no, you’re not. You neglecting yourself. Be where you are. Accept where you are for you to heal. If you have a pain your body I feel pain my heart. Hold your heart. I see you I feel you the moment You are not to the pain, you’re going to feel discomfort for one, two seconds, and you breathe through that’s going to dissipate. So I connect to the cosmos. When I work, I really any service. And that’s why I think they they work so beautiful because I don’t pretend duty sometimes can be super uncomfortable on a drum when I play my moonshine when I sing in like languages, what I received is like languages is a frequencies from everywhere, you know, turn from the cosmos, from all of you. So that’s where I tapped in. And that’s why it’s so beautiful. So that’s why she cried. Because she was really something she doesn’t know, to know what it is. Just release to create space. That’s where the healing starts when you have space to heal, create space to heal. So that’s the way work I work. I trust totally my work. I see major transformation. And in you can feel you can feel all over the world. You can feel the energy, there is no developer. So thing now. Whatever you say with your intention, you’re healing. You’re healing someone, you’re sending message into someone. And just, we are not perfect. Act Your imperfection. That’s the way we heal ourselves.
16:32
Sure. Great answer. And I’m here with Alexandra De Fazio. She’s a friend of mine, Holistic Therapist, Shaman, and she’s going to be one of our featured speakers. She’s going to be doing a process at the whole health summit coming up January 14 to the 16th 2022 we’re coming down to the end of our our time today. But there’s a question that is I just received it. And it’s from Bill and he is an acupuncturist and he practices in Portland, Oregon, and he wants to know what are the characteristics that one needs in order to be a healer? What are what are some of the things you mentioned them in your last comments but maybe you know what, what What if people need to be able to heal themselves to be healers and so I think that’s a really good question. What
17:38
what say you we are all healers. We all healers. First accept that. Recognizing yourself. Again, we are unique each individual are unique The way you are even if I teach you how to do what I do is not going to be the same because you’re unique The way you are like example Dr. Sam like you’re a healer from the eyes. You heal people’s eyes you you heal people’s vision. You are a healer this person he’s a componentry so he works on the mediation of the body he’s understand the energy in the body the healer he doesn’t have to do anything the only thing he does show up in himself and accept that he is a healer for himself in his being comfortable to to other people through his work so they can heal themselves simple like that.
18:47
It is and you know I think it’s creating the space safe space for people and you know we both do that and there’s just you know a deeper connection as you brought in the cosmos and part of that could be nature you know how do you access nature in your healing what what are some of the ways that you do that?
19:13
I like a lot oh the sounds nature sounds sounds I play in the morning I play when I have a bath I play when x exercise i i try to tap in it within inside of myself nature because I’m sure you know both sounds I love you know even when you sing it to yourself lullabies like that’s a water is water movement. meant you know, we are nature in this physical body. You are eat plants we drink water, we are water beings. So have to be owning nature to be nature you can do the nature yourself. And I love Yes, I love musical stores around me I love crystals. I love my wind chimes. In again, everything has everything has energy correct. So wherever you have, like in this beautiful place that you are this, the cedar from the, from the trees over there. So they have this beautiful frequency in in that into that your chair, your peoples your clothing, they have all energy is all made from elements that comes from Earth, most of the time. So established, really recognize that we are surrounded through nature, the moment we wake up in the morning, the sun is already there for you. That is a beautiful day, we have another day. connect to nature connect when you drink our water, putting things into your water, that’s nature. You don’t have to be in it can be the nature yourself. And again, if you don’t find these ingratitude in yourself and loving yourself in life, in yourself, you can be a nature, indeed the most miserable person in closing down if nothing happens. So be in nature. Be yourself nature, because you are
21:38
that’s correct. We all are nature and the the more we connect connected that essence, you know, we line up and we are in gratitude and some magical things can happen. And Alexandra I know you do private sessions, you teach workshops, how to how can people get in touch with you,
