An inspiring story of transformation — a medical doctor with nearly 50 years in traditional medicine who discovered that spirituality and science aren't enemies, they're partners in healing.
Why Listen?
Skeptics: Hear from someone who was as logical and evidence-based as they come, yet found real value in spiritual healing
Healthcare workers: See how one doctor successfully integrated both worlds without compromising either
Anyone seeking healing: Discover approaches like hypnotherapy and regression therapy explained by someone who truly understands medicine
Those feeling stuck: Be inspired that transformation can happen at any age — it's never too late to expand your understanding and grow
This episode proves that the most powerful healing often comes when we're brave enough to explore beyond what we already know.
After nearly five decades as a respected family doctor — delivering babies, running emergency rooms, leading hospital committees, and serving on international medical boards — Dr. John Stewart did something unexpected. He stepped into a world most scientists avoid: spirituality, energy healing, hypnotherapy, and past life regression. This isn't a story about abandoning science; it's about a dedicated physician discovering that true healing requires us to look beyond what we can measure in a lab. Through my Healing Journey programme, I witnessed his courageous transformation firsthand as he learned to trust his intuition and embrace dimensions of healing he never learned in medical school.
Today, Dr. Stewart practices analytical hypnotherapy and regression therapy, helping people heal in ways that bridge the physical and spiritual worlds. In this conversation, he opens up about the challenges of letting go of pure logic, the profound shifts that happened when he started listening to his inner wisdom, and why he believes the future of medicine lies in integrating both scientific knowledge and spiritual understanding. Whether you're a skeptic curious about alternative healing, a healthcare professional feeling there's something missing in traditional practice, or someone on your own healing journey, Dr. Stewart's story will show you that transformation is possible at any age — and that sometimes our greatest breakthroughs come from exploring what we once thought impossible.
Todays episode of Beneath the Calm begins with Jacinta introducing her guest Dr. John Stewart, a former medical doctor, who shared his journey from a strictly scientific mindset to embracing spirituality after participating in Jacinta Yang's Healing Journey program. He describes how his experiences, including past life regressions and connecting with patients' guiding spirits, led him to blend traditional medicine with spiritual practices, resulting in more effective healing for his patients. John explains that he now uses regression therapy to help patients resolve trauma more quickly than with traditional methods, and he feels his life's purpose is to teach others about this combination of science and spirituality.
John kicks of the second segment by sharing his experiences of receiving guidance from spiritual guides during his medical career, including a significant case where intuition led to a correct diagnosis despite limited evidence. Jacinta follows up by discussing her own experiences with past life regression therapy and her ability to visualize during sessions, which John expressed interest in developing. They agreed to continue their discussion after a break, with John emphasizing the importance of allowing patients to remember traumatic experiences in their own time rather than revealing details during sessions.
Jacinta starts the third segment by sharing her journey from a left-brain dominant approach to spirituality and her acceptance of intuitive guidance despite seeking logical explanations. She shares how her clients' skeptical spouses eventually came to accept the positive results of her practice, even if they couldn't understand the methods. Jacinta then questions Dr. John about his transition from conventional hypnotherapy to incorporating past life regression, asking how he approaches his practice today.
John begins the final segment by sharing with us his journey from being a skeptical scientist to embracing spirituality through his hypnotherapy practice, noting a significant shift in his worldview and personal life. He describes how remote healing has become an integral part of his practice, with Jacinta guiding him early on to incorporate it, and he has since seen its effectiveness firsthand. John emphasized the importance of internal connection and self-love, as well as the impact of faith on patient outcomes, while Jacinta encouraged listeners to remain open to spirituality's potential benefits.

Jacinta Yang: Welcome to Beneath the Calm. Thank you all for joining us here today. My name is Jacintha Yang, I'm your host. I'm also host of podcasts on Spotify, Self-Aware Soul, and also YouTube channel.
00:01:09.990 --> 00:01:16.519
Jacinta Yang: at Jacinta Healing Arts. I'm a holistic practitioner, and an author, and also a floral designer.
00:01:16.570 --> 00:01:31.179
Jacinta Yang: This space was created for us to come together and have conversation about Life Matter, where people can come together and share stories and insights, in overcoming life challenges.
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:41.770
Jacinta Yang: So, we have, in the past few episodes, we have talked about the healing and transformation through the Healing Journey program that I offer.
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:59.680
Jacinta Yang: We talk about healing and spirituality. And today, we have a very special guest, Dr. John Stewart, who also was one of my clients who joined the Healing Journey
00:01:59.790 --> 00:02:19.700
Jacinta Yang: program. Someone who has spent many, many of his life as a medical doctor, where it's all strictly science and logic, and I guess he entered into the world of spirituality with me, so we're gonna,
00:02:19.810 --> 00:02:36.030
Jacinta Yang: you're gonna ask him how was that for him. So, Dr. John Stewart, welcome to Beneathom, and thank you for joining us, to share your story. So, let's talk a little bit about you. Tell me about yourself, your,
00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:40.840
Jacinta Yang: Practice your, scientific-based mind, and how…
00:02:41.060 --> 00:02:46.540
Jacinta Yang: And we, walked into this, path of spirituality.
00:02:47.470 --> 00:02:51.999
John Stewart: Thank you, Jacinta. I appreciate the opportunity of joining you today.
00:02:52.660 --> 00:02:55.480
John Stewart: The reverse.
00:02:56.530 --> 00:02:57.270
John Stewart: charge?
00:02:57.450 --> 00:03:02.989
John Stewart: But… I think that… We can start with…
00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:07.349
John Stewart: My journey is being very traditional.
00:03:08.420 --> 00:03:10.969
John Stewart: I started with…
00:03:14.140 --> 00:03:20.690
John Stewart: I was born into a medical family, I ended up going to medical school, I have had a soul
00:03:21.170 --> 00:03:22.740
John Stewart: Family practice.
00:03:23.030 --> 00:03:23.950
John Stewart: from…
00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:37.979
John Stewart: cradle to grave, really. I delivered babies, I looked after emergency patients, I looked after people in hospital, in my office, I looked after the nursing home, right down to palliative care at the end of life.
00:03:38.590 --> 00:03:43.170
John Stewart: I have been involved in scientific research, Both.
00:03:43.320 --> 00:03:48.599
John Stewart: Local community research, and even global research.
00:03:49.090 --> 00:03:59.360
John Stewart: And as true in medicine today, traditional medicine, nothing is considered truth Unless…
00:03:59.590 --> 00:04:04.070
John Stewart: It is proven in a randomized controlled trial.
00:04:05.010 --> 00:04:14.990
John Stewart: So for me, stepping outside the box of needing proof, for everything I do, Has been quite a journey.
00:04:15.550 --> 00:04:20.450
John Stewart: You were part of that journey at the beginning, and we're…
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:25.209
John Stewart: With your guidance, I became aware of some previous lives.
00:04:25.510 --> 00:04:28.810
John Stewart: I had some connection with,
00:04:29.390 --> 00:04:34.629
John Stewart: Relatives, especially my father, who had deceased previously.
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:41.049
John Stewart: I learned that there was far more than what I had experienced.
00:04:41.180 --> 00:04:50.959
John Stewart: And especially… On top of what my patients had taught me for decades about their near-death experiences.
00:04:51.130 --> 00:04:53.439
John Stewart: Their face, and how they're faced.
00:04:53.760 --> 00:04:59.700
John Stewart: improve their medical outcomes. So, You opened up a door?
00:04:59.920 --> 00:05:07.870
John Stewart: And then, I've had a series of… Similar instances and connections.
00:05:08.580 --> 00:05:15.489
John Stewart: with each one confirming the previous. So, for my poor… Left scientific brain.
00:05:16.010 --> 00:05:20.450
John Stewart: I… I'm comforted by the repeated
00:05:20.690 --> 00:05:27.210
John Stewart: Experiences and connections with a number of different people, with different skills, different gifts.
00:05:27.620 --> 00:05:30.830
John Stewart: all coming into the same area. It allowed it…
00:05:31.830 --> 00:05:38.869
John Stewart: be an area open to my exploration as well. So, that's sort of the background. I come to this as a scientist.
00:05:40.130 --> 00:05:43.700
John Stewart: But no… That barrier is pretty.
00:05:43.700 --> 00:05:44.160
Jacinta Yang: Changing.
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.289
John Stewart: Gone. It's… very much changing.
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:53.219
John Stewart: Daily, weekly, it's constantly changing. I'm not even sure where the boundaries are for me anymore.
00:05:54.280 --> 00:05:55.299
Jacinta Yang: Well, I guess he'll.
00:05:55.300 --> 00:05:56.939
John Stewart: Any, or if they need to be any.
00:05:58.210 --> 00:06:06.179
Jacinta Yang: So, when you first started, your session with me, and I was able to see your past life.
00:06:06.820 --> 00:06:14.549
Jacinta Yang: And I shared them with you. What were your thoughts? What did… what did go… went through your mind?
00:06:14.810 --> 00:06:20.199
Jacinta Yang: like… Do you think, oh my god, what is this?
00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:30.300
John Stewart: Yes, that was part of it. It was a mixture of sauce. I didn't really know what to expect, although you had been recommended to me.
00:06:30.500 --> 00:06:36.570
John Stewart: There was a mixture of This is different.
00:06:37.340 --> 00:06:42.010
John Stewart: And yet, there was something that… resonated.
00:06:43.130 --> 00:06:46.630
John Stewart: And you certainly shared some things that…
00:06:47.410 --> 00:06:50.469
John Stewart: You wouldn't have known otherwise, and so…
00:06:50.730 --> 00:06:55.990
John Stewart: That was part of that resonance that made me… Choose to open.
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:04.009
John Stewart: Open up my… I guess, willingness to explore beyond my traditional boundaries.
00:07:04.440 --> 00:07:10.410
John Stewart: So, it was clearly, clearly a key part of my early journey in this last 5 years.
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:18.729
Jacinta Yang: So, you're saying that, because I really didn't know you and your life, and I was able to share some…
00:07:18.900 --> 00:07:25.659
Jacinta Yang: things about you that I should not have known, and… Only you knew what,
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:33.020
Jacinta Yang: what that was, although I don't always remember how this session goes, as,
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:38.720
Jacinta Yang: as a channel, I don't always remember what I channel.
00:07:39.340 --> 00:07:45.859
Jacinta Yang: So I don't… I don't recall what I channeled for you at that time during our session.
00:07:46.140 --> 00:07:55.999
Jacinta Yang: But, with some… sometimes when I see vision, some of those I do remember. So I… I do have some recollection of the vision I've seen.
00:07:56.250 --> 00:08:00.469
Jacinta Yang: Through with the past life, but not entirely all of them.
00:08:01.380 --> 00:08:03.710
Jacinta Yang: And I recall that,
00:08:04.090 --> 00:08:20.510
Jacinta Yang: when I… what I do recall is saying that now your journey is just starting, and you say, well, I'm just, almost semi-retired, and I don't know if I'll have the energy to do the work that you're telling me to do. So…
00:08:21.350 --> 00:08:23.379
Jacinta Yang: How do you feel about that?
00:08:23.590 --> 00:08:24.570
Jacinta Yang: No.
00:08:27.990 --> 00:08:29.390
John Stewart: resonates truth?
00:08:29.490 --> 00:08:37.100
John Stewart: And I have heard that same message now from multiple people with… Different, spiritual gifts.
00:08:37.990 --> 00:08:42.829
John Stewart: And I can feel it. In my own practice, I have been able to
00:08:43.669 --> 00:08:48.400
John Stewart: Bring change and healing to my patients in a way that is very unique.
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:53.160
John Stewart: And it is making a difference in people's lives, and so…
00:08:53.980 --> 00:08:59.700
John Stewart: I know that I have to somewhat protect my semi-retirement and my energy.
00:09:00.780 --> 00:09:06.740
John Stewart: I can't stop doing this. I… I believe now, actually, I need to teach.
00:09:07.510 --> 00:09:10.909
John Stewart: Each other's, what may be possible by adding
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:16.250
John Stewart: This aspect of spirituality to traditional medical science.
00:09:16.610 --> 00:09:18.170
Jacinta Yang: basically blending.
00:09:18.470 --> 00:09:22.670
Jacinta Yang: blending both Both worlds, the logical world and this…
00:09:22.780 --> 00:09:24.580
John Stewart: spiritual world.
00:09:25.220 --> 00:09:29.529
John Stewart: There was one other person relatively recently that told me that
00:09:30.510 --> 00:09:35.260
John Stewart: for much of my medical career, I've just been in training for what I'm doing now.
00:09:35.630 --> 00:09:36.320
Jacinta Yang: True.
00:09:37.510 --> 00:09:44.119
John Stewart: And so… I don't know… How long this now is going to last, but…
00:09:44.690 --> 00:09:48.979
John Stewart: opportunities keep presenting, and so I'm just going to let it be.
00:09:49.500 --> 00:09:52.599
Jacinta Yang: Yeah, actually, just… I'm gonna be guided.
00:09:53.700 --> 00:10:11.649
Jacinta Yang: And I recall, too, that you, sharing after a few sessions that we had, you mentioned that you've been incorporating spirituality into your practice, and you felt that you had stronger connections with your patients. Can you share that, please?
00:10:12.890 --> 00:10:20.360
John Stewart: Sure. The beginning went back perhaps about 35 years when I learned how to do hypnosis.
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:25.949
John Stewart: As I look back now, that was not a coincidence that I took that weekend course, but…
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:31.099
John Stewart: So I have had experience in hypnosis and regression for 35 years.
00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:36.950
John Stewart: what I discovered in the fall of 2020.
00:10:37.750 --> 00:10:42.159
John Stewart: I had a patient in regression go to a previous life.
00:10:43.530 --> 00:10:45.490
John Stewart: That was astounding for me.
00:10:46.730 --> 00:10:52.010
John Stewart: And… as skeptical as I was, I kept seeing that person.
00:10:52.180 --> 00:10:58.960
John Stewart: And with that one particular person, we've been to 6 or 8 different lives.
00:10:59.220 --> 00:11:02.640
John Stewart: Each one bringing… An aspect of healing?
00:11:03.030 --> 00:11:06.439
John Stewart: But also, each one bringing an aspect of…
00:11:06.920 --> 00:11:10.399
John Stewart: Teaching for me as to what is possible.
00:11:11.820 --> 00:11:24.829
John Stewart: Through that, I've learned that I can ask, just simply ask, to connect to a person's guiding spirit, and ask the guiding spirit to take us to whatever trauma or memory needs to be addressed.
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:33.739
John Stewart: And resolve for them to carry on without the typical fear, anger, guilt, or sadness that people get as a result of trauma.
00:11:34.370 --> 00:11:42.000
John Stewart: And… I mean, I had a couple of patients doing my traditional approach before that
00:11:42.380 --> 00:11:44.099
John Stewart: One of them in particular took
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:50.560
John Stewart: Twice a month for 5 years to resolve all of the trauma. And now I'm able to accomplish that.
00:11:51.150 --> 00:11:55.180
John Stewart: With this extra spiritual layer in a much shorter time frame.
00:11:55.990 --> 00:12:00.280
John Stewart: And… I'm guided towards the critical
00:12:00.380 --> 00:12:05.019
John Stewart: Incident that triggered the pain or the discomfort they're feeling in this life.
00:12:05.130 --> 00:12:09.830
John Stewart: And oftentimes, that… Rigouring event is in a past life.
00:12:10.990 --> 00:12:18.269
John Stewart: And… Change in those people in a short period of time is dramatic.
00:12:19.110 --> 00:12:25.170
John Stewart: So, it's still a mixture of traditional psychotherapy, And…
00:12:26.050 --> 00:12:29.840
John Stewart: This new spiritual regression, if you want to call it that.
00:12:30.330 --> 00:12:32.139
John Stewart: It's… it's incredible for me.
00:12:32.450 --> 00:12:33.780
John Stewart: Absolutely incredible.
00:12:34.730 --> 00:12:38.210
Jacinta Yang: So, when you see the result.
00:12:38.900 --> 00:12:42.400
Jacinta Yang: Did you ask yourself what just happened?
00:12:43.090 --> 00:12:43.960
John Stewart: Yeah.
00:12:44.470 --> 00:12:54.350
John Stewart: Oh, yes. I mean, I had… and this… this particular story is in my book, so I can share this person's information. I have the permission to do so.
00:12:55.250 --> 00:12:58.399
John Stewart: But this person regressed back to a life
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:02.059
John Stewart: on the coast of England, maybe in the 1700s.
00:13:02.350 --> 00:13:08.879
John Stewart: Working as a barmaid, and was taken on board ship.
00:13:09.090 --> 00:13:11.340
John Stewart: To, serve the sailors.
00:13:11.640 --> 00:13:16.759
John Stewart: And yet… Even though she was tied up with her hands above her head, and…
00:13:17.180 --> 00:13:20.899
John Stewart: In, in between shifts, she was never harmed.
00:13:21.540 --> 00:13:24.029
John Stewart: That's a deeper part of the story, but…
00:13:24.180 --> 00:13:39.169
John Stewart: We released the bonds that held her arms, and the next day, she'd been never able to wear a watch or a bracelet or anything. She sent me a photo the next day wearing a huge honking sports watch on her wrist that she'd never been able to do in her entire life.
00:13:39.410 --> 00:13:44.820
John Stewart: It was that traumatic, that cellular memory, so… that's just a little peek at that.
00:13:45.410 --> 00:13:50.100
Jacinta Yang: So, we're going into break, and we'll come back and share some more stories.
00:13:51.160 --> 00:13:51.770
John Stewart: Cute.
00:15:38.290 --> 00:15:42.570
Jacinta Yang: Welcome back to Beneath the Calm. Thank you for joining us today.
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:51.129
Jacinta Yang: Today, our topic is all about how we… when we incorporate spirituality into our lives.
00:15:51.160 --> 00:16:04.920
Jacinta Yang: in this, logical, scientific world, how it changes. So, Dr. John Stewart here, who has been a medical doctor, MD, for many years.
00:16:05.140 --> 00:16:09.170
Jacinta Yang: Leaning all in the, left brain now,
00:16:09.500 --> 00:16:13.069
Jacinta Yang: Actually, the right brain is getting involved.
00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:26.509
Jacinta Yang: So, it's been quite a journey for him, and we're so happy for you to be joining us here today, share your story, and your, transformation, or your journey from the,
00:16:26.790 --> 00:16:31.059
Jacinta Yang: The, what do you say, logical to the spiritual world.
00:16:31.620 --> 00:16:36.959
Jacinta Yang: So, dr. John, I… I like to ask you.
00:16:37.230 --> 00:16:42.720
Jacinta Yang: about intuition. I, I usually teach… I usually teach
00:16:43.060 --> 00:16:48.330
Jacinta Yang: clients, and I also host workshop in tapping into intuition.
00:16:49.140 --> 00:17:00.639
Jacinta Yang: But in reality, what I truly believe is that we all have a spiritual guide that is guiding us on our daily lives. If we are willing to listen.
00:17:00.830 --> 00:17:03.010
Jacinta Yang: We can really hear them.
00:17:03.130 --> 00:17:07.359
Jacinta Yang: And they're there to help us, guide us through our life.
00:17:07.510 --> 00:17:14.739
Jacinta Yang: Challenges, and it… they do. They do help us make things easier for us.
00:17:14.930 --> 00:17:16.619
Jacinta Yang: But of course,
00:17:17.730 --> 00:17:27.410
Jacinta Yang: In a logical world, for us to say, you have a guardian angel or spirit guide is, like, something that…
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:35.579
Jacinta Yang: you know, they can't make sense. So that's why I use the word intuition, which is a little bit easier for them to…
00:17:35.810 --> 00:17:38.840
Jacinta Yang: I guess, accept that word, intuition.
00:17:39.780 --> 00:17:43.079
Jacinta Yang: for me, I would say intuition is really our…
00:17:43.260 --> 00:17:48.490
Jacinta Yang: Our guide, our inner guidance that, guide us through our way.
00:17:48.740 --> 00:17:51.699
Jacinta Yang: And I believe we touched on this
00:17:52.130 --> 00:17:55.190
Jacinta Yang: Topic during your sessions with me.
00:17:55.350 --> 00:17:57.239
Jacinta Yang: Would you like to take us back?
00:17:57.900 --> 00:17:58.810
Jacinta Yang: To that.
00:18:01.690 --> 00:18:03.970
John Stewart: Sure, let's cover a few things.
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:11.230
John Stewart: Early in 21, 2021, I had a patient who asked.
00:18:11.850 --> 00:18:16.279
John Stewart: me, if they could ask me questions. And I said, sure, that's… that's okay.
00:18:16.860 --> 00:18:20.659
John Stewart: She wanted to know if I could see lights around me, and I said no.
00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:26.929
John Stewart: She wanted to know if I knew that I was surrounded by angels, and I said, no.
00:18:27.600 --> 00:18:34.659
John Stewart: And she just very matter-of-factly said, well, you are. The main one is Raphael, and there are others, they've always been with you.
00:18:36.080 --> 00:18:39.790
John Stewart: But now they're teaching you to heal from the heart.
00:18:40.330 --> 00:18:44.079
John Stewart: you've been healing from the head. So that was a big…
00:18:46.970 --> 00:18:51.799
John Stewart: big statement coming from somebody that I had just met, first interview, whatever.
00:18:52.180 --> 00:18:57.169
John Stewart: But in thinking about that aspect of these guides being with me.
00:18:57.560 --> 00:19:02.750
John Stewart: I go back maybe 35 to 40 years ago, maybe more.
00:19:03.560 --> 00:19:07.209
John Stewart: I made a diagnosis of an ectopic pregnancy, and a lady
00:19:07.420 --> 00:19:13.159
John Stewart: Who was going to be leaving the country on a trip, on holiday, for a couple weeks.
00:19:13.790 --> 00:19:22.660
John Stewart: And just through… An off-chance comment to me, with no medical information or whatever, I…
00:19:23.430 --> 00:19:25.760
John Stewart: I knew that I had to see her before she left.
00:19:26.670 --> 00:19:30.060
John Stewart: So I said, look, I need to see you tomorrow before you leave.
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:37.510
John Stewart: I would just make a space for you, so we saw her the next day. Examination wasn't particularly… Helpful.
00:19:37.650 --> 00:19:43.579
John Stewart: But I did do an ultrasound. Ultrasound in those days was in its infancy. It wasn't as accurate.
00:19:44.100 --> 00:19:49.849
John Stewart: Radiologists phoned me back to say, yeah, I see an ectopic pregnancy, it's very early, it's only 5 weeks.
00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:53.689
John Stewart: I phoned the obstetrician specialist, and I…
00:19:55.290 --> 00:20:01.640
John Stewart: I told him what I found, and would he see the patient, and he was… Condescending, to be fair.
00:20:02.840 --> 00:20:07.870
John Stewart: And he said, There's nothing, there's no history, there's no… you know, you don't have anything here.
00:20:08.820 --> 00:20:17.299
John Stewart: But I'll tell you what I'll do, I'll see her, I'll do a laparoscope, I'll have a look inside, she'll be groggy from the anesthetic, but she'll be able to take…
00:20:17.830 --> 00:20:23.040
John Stewart: her holiday and… and enjoy it. Everybody will feel more confident.
00:20:23.660 --> 00:20:29.820
John Stewart: So we did that, and as soon as he put the scope into the abdominal cavity, the ectopic pregnancy ruptured.
00:20:31.410 --> 00:20:34.119
John Stewart: Had that happened during her trip, she would have died.
00:20:34.990 --> 00:20:37.520
John Stewart: And I look back now, and I know that
00:20:37.870 --> 00:20:41.949
John Stewart: This was not my medical skill, from the human world, at least.
00:20:42.180 --> 00:20:45.950
John Stewart: It was… Intuition, as you like to call it.
00:20:46.140 --> 00:20:47.150
John Stewart: guided.
00:20:47.310 --> 00:20:53.179
John Stewart: My spirit guides were whispering in my… Ear, unknowns to me, but…
00:20:53.350 --> 00:21:00.250
John Stewart: they whisper strongly enough to do this. And I've made other diagnoses over the years that there wasn't enough information
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:02.050
John Stewart: There.
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:06.840
John Stewart: I was part of a teaching practice. If I'd had a resident with me that day.
00:21:07.390 --> 00:21:17.079
John Stewart: I should have, in most situations, been able to turn the resident… to the resident and explain. When you see these things together, always ask those questions or do this test.
00:21:17.260 --> 00:21:18.500
John Stewart: I couldn't have done that.
00:21:18.690 --> 00:21:23.090
John Stewart: in these situations. So… These guides have been with me all the way along.
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:25.890
John Stewart: Yes, you were actually in…
00:21:26.030 --> 00:21:28.719
Jacinta Yang: Yeah, you were actually in your spiritual…
00:21:28.910 --> 00:21:38.390
Jacinta Yang: journey only was not aware of it. Even like myself, I've been on the journey, but it's… it was the logic, always talking.
00:21:39.420 --> 00:21:41.430
Jacinta Yang: And, you know, leading.
00:21:41.890 --> 00:21:50.030
Jacinta Yang: But then when you finally actually, accept it, and you go back and… you can see…
00:21:50.140 --> 00:21:53.430
Jacinta Yang: That there were many occasions that
00:21:53.580 --> 00:21:58.220
Jacinta Yang: You actually listened to them, but just was not aware of it.
00:21:59.850 --> 00:22:08.960
John Stewart: Even… As a teenager, I went to university as two years in an honors biology program. I,
00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:19.019
John Stewart: I applied for medicine, but my father was a surgeon. He worked so hard, I thought it was crazy to get up in the middle of the night for 3 or 4 hours and still work the next day.
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:20.110
John Stewart: you know.
00:22:20.210 --> 00:22:23.149
John Stewart: I thought, I'm never gonna do anything like that.
00:22:23.530 --> 00:22:29.290
John Stewart: And so… I applied to medicine because I didn't know anything else. I grew up in that medical family.
00:22:30.060 --> 00:22:31.080
John Stewart: And…
00:22:31.580 --> 00:22:37.350
John Stewart: It was a mail strike, and so they couldn't send me a letter. They sent… they phoned me and said.
00:22:37.810 --> 00:22:42.050
John Stewart: I was within arm's reach of the telephone when it rang.
00:22:42.980 --> 00:22:47.929
John Stewart: who say that there was a space for me in the medical program, did I want it?
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:51.209
John Stewart: And my first response was, when do you need to know?
00:22:51.600 --> 00:22:54.690
John Stewart: I really hadn't decided on that.
00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:58.550
John Stewart: And then, of course, they said, well, we have a long list of people who do want
00:22:58.780 --> 00:23:05.219
John Stewart: this position, I said, thank you, I'll take it. I think that was one of those moments where my pathway was… was…
00:23:05.470 --> 00:23:06.370
John Stewart: Set.
00:23:06.610 --> 00:23:09.789
John Stewart: But also, I think my guides were whispering to me then.
00:23:10.360 --> 00:23:14.609
John Stewart: Take the place. Take the place, this is what supposed to do.
00:23:14.750 --> 00:23:16.300
John Stewart: Listen to us.
00:23:16.540 --> 00:23:20.930
John Stewart: And that… and that reminds me of one intervention with,
00:23:22.570 --> 00:23:37.619
John Stewart: patient under regression, talking to the guiding spirit, and often I'll ask the guiding spirit, is there a message for me to help me treat this patient more effectively? And the message from the spirit guide was, tell her to listen.
00:23:38.370 --> 00:23:47.890
John Stewart: We've been talking to her for the last few weeks. She's not listening. Tell her to listen. Tell her to go to the lake and meditate, so she'll hear us.
00:23:50.520 --> 00:23:54.990
John Stewart: So I think our spirit guys get frustrated with us from time to time when we shut down.
00:23:56.550 --> 00:24:02.519
Jacinta Yang: But the thing is, you were actually already listening, only you weren't even aware that you were.
00:24:02.780 --> 00:24:10.680
Jacinta Yang: But now, when you think about it and trying to put together, okay, yeah, that didn't make logical sense, but I still did it anyways.
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:20.790
Jacinta Yang: So, technically, like, someone said that you are in training in the medical field to be able to do what you're doing today.
00:24:21.220 --> 00:24:38.889
Jacinta Yang: Now, I know you, you've been doing past life regression and take people into past lives. I… I'm also a past life regression therapist, and when I do take people to their past life, I'm actually able to see…
00:24:39.370 --> 00:24:43.930
Jacinta Yang: what they see along with them. Are you able to see that?
00:24:44.940 --> 00:24:45.470
John Stewart: Nope.
00:24:45.970 --> 00:24:50.080
John Stewart: No, not yet. I've been told that I will get the gift of
00:24:50.540 --> 00:24:53.550
John Stewart: Visualizing at some point in my journey.
00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:58.739
John Stewart: My approach is still pretty traditional.
00:24:59.700 --> 00:25:02.690
John Stewart: I use what would be called an emotional bridge.
00:25:03.060 --> 00:25:12.629
John Stewart: And I would ask the guiding spirit to take us back to the first time that the patient felt this fear, the anger, the sadness, whatever that emotion was.
00:25:13.230 --> 00:25:14.260
John Stewart: And…
00:25:14.570 --> 00:25:20.920
John Stewart: what is unique in the way I approach things, I don't need to see all the details of what happened to them.
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:26.229
John Stewart: This can be particularly helpful even in this life, if you're treating someone
00:25:26.560 --> 00:25:34.189
John Stewart: Who is a survivor of sexual abuse. I can go back and examine the abuse, or the series of abuses.
00:25:35.020 --> 00:25:36.859
John Stewart: Patient doesn't have to relive them.
00:25:37.330 --> 00:25:46.429
John Stewart: We can still resolve the emotional impact and the harm without them having to relive. Or, in a previous life, they don't have to relive, so…
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:54.710
John Stewart: In that way, It is… Not a disturbing journey for the patient.
00:25:55.940 --> 00:26:00.389
John Stewart: But if I could see what you're seeing, that would be amazing. That would be…
00:26:01.280 --> 00:26:03.990
John Stewart: Another way for me to get to the answer more quickly.
00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:08.890
Jacinta Yang: I, I don't ask for it, it just happens.
00:26:09.060 --> 00:26:19.160
Jacinta Yang: for me, I just see… but, as a, past life regression therapist, we don't tell them what we see. We let them
00:26:19.340 --> 00:26:26.939
Jacinta Yang: We let them share, what they see, and then… basically, I can confirm.
00:26:27.310 --> 00:26:30.159
Jacinta Yang: Certain things that they have seen.
00:26:30.370 --> 00:26:36.859
Jacinta Yang: But otherwise, it's not something… that I ask for, it just happens. It's like, even when I…
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:41.399
Jacinta Yang: did a session with you. It just… the vision just comes.
00:26:41.790 --> 00:26:45.330
Jacinta Yang: So, I just wondered if you were able to see something like that.
00:26:46.080 --> 00:26:49.239
John Stewart: Myself, but you bring up an interesting point.
00:26:49.650 --> 00:26:55.150
John Stewart: In that whatever knowledge we gain as a therapist, We have to be careful.
00:26:55.550 --> 00:26:58.429
John Stewart: How much or how quickly we shared that with the patient.
00:26:59.340 --> 00:27:02.670
John Stewart: I remember a patient who came to me
00:27:02.870 --> 00:27:08.649
John Stewart: Many years ago with an abusive trauma, and they decided that they wanted to know details.
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:12.180
John Stewart: And so we did that, we went back to that trauma, and…
00:27:12.690 --> 00:27:16.979
John Stewart: I explored it. I can't now remember what we found out, but I…
00:27:17.770 --> 00:27:28.670
John Stewart: allowed the suggestion that they would remember when it was the right time for them, and if they were comfortable, they could remember right away. We could talk about it when the hypnosis was finished.
00:27:28.860 --> 00:27:31.530
John Stewart: Or they could… Talk about it.
00:27:32.660 --> 00:27:34.070
John Stewart: A later time?
00:27:34.260 --> 00:27:39.870
John Stewart: When we were together and they were comfortable, or they could simply remember when they were alone and feeling safe.
00:27:40.410 --> 00:27:46.069
John Stewart: When they come out of that hypnosis, this patient really wanted to know what they said.
00:27:46.820 --> 00:27:48.630
John Stewart: And I said, I can't tell you.
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:59.849
John Stewart: They were… they were angry with me, but that's why I came to see you today. I said, no, I can't. If I tell you, this is what I set up, if I tell you I have destroyed your trust.
00:28:00.090 --> 00:28:03.289
John Stewart: If I destroy that trust, I can no longer help you.
00:28:03.800 --> 00:28:09.620
John Stewart: Now, 40 years later, that patient is still… Seeing me? Still trusts me.
00:28:09.940 --> 00:28:15.350
John Stewart: And, but that… Flowering?
00:28:15.490 --> 00:28:24.789
John Stewart: the patient or client, however you want to term that, to remember in their time when they are ready, when it is safe for them, I think is really important.
00:28:25.090 --> 00:28:29.630
John Stewart: They don't be overwhelmed with more than they're ready to handle.
00:28:30.610 --> 00:28:36.399
Jacinta Yang: We're going to be going into a break, and we'll come back and continue this lovely story.
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:24.060
Jacinta Yang: Thank you, welcome back to Beneath the Calm.
00:30:24.250 --> 00:30:28.030
Jacinta Yang: Today's topic is on, signs meeting spirits.
00:30:28.210 --> 00:30:35.739
Jacinta Yang: Personally, myself, for years, I would say I did operate from left brain.
00:30:36.190 --> 00:30:44.290
Jacinta Yang: And, although I, as an empath, I had the empathetic gift of sensing and feeling outside of
00:30:44.900 --> 00:30:51.850
Jacinta Yang: this normal, I guess… realm, as we all call it.
00:30:52.000 --> 00:31:04.279
Jacinta Yang: I used to like to argue it, I used to like to not believe in it, but yet I knew I always followed the guidance and have worked with it.
00:31:04.420 --> 00:31:15.989
Jacinta Yang: Yet, there were still many times that I felt that, I needed an explanation, I need some logical explanation, and I need to understand this, I need to understand that.
00:31:16.260 --> 00:31:23.249
Jacinta Yang: And those friends to her who has been on the spiritual journey for much longer than I have.
00:31:24.200 --> 00:31:37.690
Jacinta Yang: said to me, Jacinta, How many years you've been already working With this, spirituality in your practice, and…
00:31:38.420 --> 00:31:40.140
Jacinta Yang: And you see the results.
00:31:40.280 --> 00:31:42.689
Jacinta Yang: Why do you need an explanation?
00:31:42.810 --> 00:31:47.480
Jacinta Yang: Why do you need to know? Just… Let it go, and trust.
00:31:47.820 --> 00:31:51.749
Jacinta Yang: And I think I've done the same thing with Dr. Stewart.
00:31:52.300 --> 00:31:54.109
Jacinta Yang: And, say, okay.
00:31:54.570 --> 00:31:59.599
Jacinta Yang: There's no explanation, and I know I have a lot of clients telling me that,
00:32:00.780 --> 00:32:03.269
Jacinta Yang: Can't explain that, but it works.
00:32:03.600 --> 00:32:11.669
Jacinta Yang: So, we just accepted. So there's… there have been many, many of my clients' spouses who are totally skeptical
00:32:11.800 --> 00:32:17.359
Jacinta Yang: of… My practice, and used to make fun of them for coming to me.
00:32:17.780 --> 00:32:25.780
Jacinta Yang: But, as time passes, they see the result, the positive result, And… It blows their mind.
00:32:26.040 --> 00:32:33.450
Jacinta Yang: And then they have no choice but to say, hey, you know, I like the result, so it doesn't matter what she does.
00:32:33.940 --> 00:32:44.800
Jacinta Yang: So, I'd just like to ask you, Dr. John, I want to thank you again for sharing, coming here, sharing your story, you know, from your left brain to the right brain.
00:32:44.800 --> 00:32:56.809
Jacinta Yang: And you have been doing, past life, or actually, I should say, you've been doing hypnotherapy for some time, and that's when you stumbled upon this past life.
00:32:57.970 --> 00:33:02.399
Jacinta Yang: Now, fast forward to today.
00:33:03.300 --> 00:33:08.870
Jacinta Yang: How do you approach this hypnotherapy? Do you actually,
00:33:09.330 --> 00:33:12.939
Jacinta Yang: Approach it the way you used to, or you actually do…
00:33:13.190 --> 00:33:18.400
Jacinta Yang: Take the patient to past life, or you just allow it
00:33:18.600 --> 00:33:20.410
Jacinta Yang: To happen the way it does.
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:23.550
John Stewart: question.
00:33:24.490 --> 00:33:28.400
John Stewart: And, you know, a thought in the back of my mind that you also
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:33.249
John Stewart: Open the door to remote healing, so we can talk about that a little bit later.
00:33:33.930 --> 00:33:37.720
John Stewart: What I do now at the beginning of hypnosis is pretty traditional.
00:33:38.370 --> 00:33:43.309
John Stewart: I do an induction. I take the patient to safe place.
00:33:44.090 --> 00:33:47.389
John Stewart: And when they're there, however.
00:33:47.610 --> 00:33:51.650
John Stewart: I now routinely ask them to
00:33:52.140 --> 00:33:55.079
John Stewart: Open their heart and their awareness and their spirit.
00:33:55.950 --> 00:33:58.830
John Stewart: Through the presence of their guiding spirit.
00:33:59.490 --> 00:34:03.260
John Stewart: And… Probably 90% of the time.
00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:10.270
John Stewart: they… will nod their head to say, yes, I'm aware of the presence of my guiding spirit.
00:34:10.510 --> 00:34:14.159
John Stewart: Then I ask permission to speak directly to the Guiding Spirit.
00:34:14.590 --> 00:34:17.630
John Stewart: And in the few people who don't have that awareness.
00:34:18.239 --> 00:34:29.719
John Stewart: I'll ask them. I've learned I can ask them anyway. Even if you're not aware of that presence, may I speak directly to your guiding spirit anyway? And that answer is, it's almost always yes.
00:34:31.070 --> 00:34:33.500
John Stewart: And then, I…
00:34:35.020 --> 00:34:43.800
John Stewart: will take the next steps by focusing on questions to the guiding spirit, and ask this patient… I'm a… I may…
00:34:44.300 --> 00:34:47.259
John Stewart: share some observations of what I see in the patient.
00:34:47.429 --> 00:34:49.199
John Stewart: The guarding fruit, am I correct?
00:34:49.810 --> 00:34:55.249
John Stewart: Is this what's going on? Is this patient doing well in this area, but not so well in that area?
00:34:57.670 --> 00:35:00.240
John Stewart: And that brings me confirmation.
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:06.750
John Stewart: And then I'll… At some point, ask, Is there a memory?
00:35:07.310 --> 00:35:17.869
John Stewart: That we need to understand, so that we can resolve some of this pain or dysfunction, and usually it's focused around the four primal emotions of
00:35:18.470 --> 00:35:20.989
John Stewart: Fear, anger, guilt, and sadness.
00:35:21.440 --> 00:35:25.150
John Stewart: And most of the time, that answer is yes.
00:35:26.060 --> 00:35:27.500
John Stewart: And all that.
00:35:28.470 --> 00:35:32.360
John Stewart: when I ask the question, I'll say, it doesn't matter whether it's in this life or a previous life.
00:35:32.680 --> 00:35:35.569
John Stewart: But we need to go to the beginning of the problem.
00:35:35.990 --> 00:35:37.729
John Stewart: The root cause of the problem.
00:35:38.100 --> 00:35:42.800
John Stewart: Because I think that once you resolve the root cause, everything after that resolves.
00:35:43.670 --> 00:35:46.420
John Stewart: And… and if I get a yes.
00:35:46.780 --> 00:35:57.100
John Stewart: answer. I'll ask, can you take us there? Will you nod the patient's head when they're there? Would you protect them, please, so that they can see what's happening in that trauma?
00:35:57.600 --> 00:35:59.420
John Stewart: But they don't have to feel it.
00:35:59.530 --> 00:36:08.119
John Stewart: They don't have to be afraid, they don't have to be upset, they don't have to feel it again, but they can learn from it and understand it. Can you do that for me? And I'll get a yes.
00:36:08.650 --> 00:36:18.819
John Stewart: And I'll often ask, is there fear? Is there anger? Is there guilt? Is there sadness? And then I work with each one of those things individually.
00:36:19.060 --> 00:36:21.640
John Stewart: I may ask questions around…
00:36:23.250 --> 00:36:33.830
John Stewart: circumstances? Are they alone? Are they with one other person? Are they with many other people? Are they a child? Are they an adult? Just because I don't have your gift of seeing what's going on.
00:36:34.300 --> 00:36:35.950
John Stewart: I have to play 20 questions.
00:36:36.300 --> 00:36:40.060
John Stewart: But I don't need to know a lot of detail.
00:36:40.990 --> 00:36:43.190
John Stewart: I may get enough of it.
00:36:43.740 --> 00:36:49.490
John Stewart: Detail and understanding to be able to say, you know, I think, guiding spirit, that
00:36:49.980 --> 00:36:57.989
John Stewart: the anger or the fear from this incident is no longer valid. I think it can be released, am I right?
00:36:58.450 --> 00:36:59.639
John Stewart: I'll often get.
00:37:00.260 --> 00:37:01.590
John Stewart: A nod of the head.
00:37:01.750 --> 00:37:08.450
John Stewart: And I'll say, will you work with me? I often invoke my own guiding spirit team to be with them.
00:37:08.850 --> 00:37:11.460
John Stewart: I often ask that the patient be
00:37:12.180 --> 00:37:16.589
John Stewart: Taken to a place where they're floating, in pure divine light.
00:37:17.190 --> 00:37:21.450
John Stewart: Encompassing unconditional love, healing, forgiveness, and truth.
00:37:22.270 --> 00:37:26.919
John Stewart: Because… I don't believe that, really, darkness and shadow can exist.
00:37:27.090 --> 00:37:31.630
John Stewart: In the specter of divine light, so…
00:37:32.020 --> 00:37:37.170
John Stewart: with all of these things building up, I'll offer just a simple, I'm gonna count to 3 and clap my hands.
00:37:38.340 --> 00:37:42.290
John Stewart: Will you help the patient release, for instance, the fear that they've had?
00:37:42.870 --> 00:37:46.539
John Stewart: a good nod of the head, and I'll do that, and I'll clap my hands.
00:37:46.810 --> 00:37:51.509
John Stewart: And will you just nod the patient's head for me when that fear has been released?
00:37:52.630 --> 00:37:54.909
John Stewart: And then I'll ask if there's any other…
00:37:55.110 --> 00:38:13.550
John Stewart: memory that we need to go to? Sometimes there's a long pause. And I've learned to ask, that's a very long pause. It makes me suspicious that there is something else, but maybe it's for another day. Almost always, I get an immediate yes. There is something else, come back, but not today.
00:38:13.990 --> 00:38:14.570Jacinta Yang: -00:38:14.570 --> 00:38:16.740
John Stewart: So it's… it's, it's like cheating.
00:38:17.580 --> 00:38:19.690
John Stewart: Looking up the answers in the back of the book.
00:38:21.310 --> 00:38:26.070
John Stewart: And all I'm doing is being… being the medium, I guess.
00:38:26.270 --> 00:38:27.290
Jacinta Yang: Yeah, yeah.
00:38:28.250 --> 00:38:32.170
Jacinta Yang: So, they, when… when you bring them back.
00:38:32.450 --> 00:38:40.509
Jacinta Yang: Do you guys, do you and your patient… Go over… The session at all.
00:38:40.980 --> 00:38:41.670
John Stewart: If they remember.
00:38:42.560 --> 00:38:43.130
Jacinta Yang: Okay.
00:38:43.130 --> 00:38:46.199
John Stewart: And often, often I will say, before we come out.
00:38:46.310 --> 00:38:52.019
John Stewart: That so-and-so will be able to remember as much or as little as is best for them.
00:38:53.180 --> 00:38:54.839
John Stewart: It's always the patient choice.
00:38:55.590 --> 00:39:06.869
John Stewart: And sometimes they will share details of what they've seen, what they've felt, details beyond what I was able to ascertain, so it fills in my curiosity gap, if you like.
00:39:07.160 --> 00:39:12.889
John Stewart: Sometimes I remember nothing, But they just feel lighter.
00:39:13.860 --> 00:39:20.170
John Stewart: I don't know what happened, but I just feel easier, or I was surrounded by pink light, or green light.
00:39:20.780 --> 00:39:28.450
John Stewart: So… The individual response is unique.
00:39:28.590 --> 00:39:30.170
John Stewart: There's no set pattern.
00:39:31.110 --> 00:39:34.929
John Stewart: Some people remember a lot of details, some people will speak to me.
00:39:35.570 --> 00:39:43.440
John Stewart: And that's easier if I don't have to play the 20 guests, 20… Question guesses.
00:39:43.640 --> 00:39:49.280
John Stewart: As much… And I will… Often ask…
00:39:51.690 --> 00:39:54.240
John Stewart: Is there a message for the patient?
00:39:55.560 --> 00:39:58.519
John Stewart: And they'll… they'll receive a message, and then they'll…
00:39:58.640 --> 00:40:06.569
John Stewart: Will you help them remember it so they can tell that to me afterwards? Or, can you use their voice? Can you tell me what the message is?
00:40:06.570 --> 00:40:07.770
Jacinta Yang: Sometimes that works.
00:40:09.240 --> 00:40:14.219
John Stewart: And there was one… Remarkable… I just throw this in.
00:40:14.590 --> 00:40:20.629
John Stewart: I'd taken somebody back, and we'd gone through A past traumatic memory.
00:40:21.600 --> 00:40:24.000
John Stewart: I asked if there was anything else to…
00:40:24.260 --> 00:40:27.130
John Stewart: review or understand today? And that answer was no.
00:40:27.470 --> 00:40:38.490
John Stewart: And so I remember, I said to the guiding spirit something along the lines of, well, that makes me think that the most important lesson for this patient is simply just to learn to love themselves with that reservation.
00:40:38.650 --> 00:40:40.840
John Stewart: And accept themselves without judgment.
00:40:41.740 --> 00:40:44.600
John Stewart: It was just the very briefest of pauses.
00:40:44.930 --> 00:40:52.609
John Stewart: They… they spoke, this patient was able to speak the answer, That is the only lesson.
00:40:53.770 --> 00:40:56.135
John Stewart: And that's been profound, so… That
00:40:57.890 --> 00:41:03.379
John Stewart: I think was as much for my learning as it was for the patient, because now I incorporate
00:41:03.490 --> 00:41:10.060
John Stewart: That is part of… Part of the journey under hypnosis is to
00:41:10.260 --> 00:41:14.840
John Stewart: Do some self-inner child work to get them to the point of loving themselves.
00:41:14.950 --> 00:41:19.620
John Stewart: without reservation, accepting themselves without judgment. I think that's a big part of the healing.
00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:39.930
Jacinta Yang: So, when we met, it was during the lockdown, and of course we did remotely, I did remote healing, and, remote healing is actually very powerful. Like, I… I know, I have seen and witnessed, I've… I've experienced this, with clients that I've not met.
00:41:40.200 --> 00:41:50.139
Jacinta Yang: And to see the transformation in their lives is amazing, too. So, when we first met, now, how did your left brain
00:41:50.270 --> 00:41:53.830
Jacinta Yang: Process this whole remote healing.
00:41:54.280 --> 00:41:58.039
Jacinta Yang: and… And, my visions, and…
00:41:58.040 --> 00:41:58.860
John Stewart: So…
00:41:58.870 --> 00:42:01.350
Jacinta Yang: What went through your brain?
00:42:01.880 --> 00:42:06.790
John Stewart: The immediate first reaction is, yeah, sure.
00:42:07.420 --> 00:42:15.970
John Stewart: You know, if there's no random controlled trial, if you can't measure the outcome, Who knows? You know.
00:42:16.620 --> 00:42:23.009
John Stewart: And… You know, and I read an article, a patient sent me an article recently about
00:42:23.270 --> 00:42:34.530
John Stewart: hypnosis and regression just being kind of a fantasy of the hypnotherapist that it's not real and whatever. But I've seen so much that I am not offended by that anymore.
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:36.120
John Stewart: What?
00:42:36.830 --> 00:42:39.990
John Stewart: The remote healing, there are a couple things.
00:42:40.090 --> 00:42:44.490
John Stewart: You… you gave me some instruction, and…
00:42:45.250 --> 00:42:51.880
John Stewart: Went through a few steps of a course that you give on that remove healing, and I've been using it. I use it
00:42:52.190 --> 00:42:55.560
John Stewart: I do, meditation, and…
00:42:56.190 --> 00:43:03.769
John Stewart: I check twice a day now for patients who are in what I call my healing circle. I send remote healing to them regularly.
00:43:05.010 --> 00:43:10.250
John Stewart: And I had a session with one of my patients, who…
00:43:11.300 --> 00:43:14.999
John Stewart: I was talking to their guiding spirit, Amy, and that's in my book as well.
00:43:15.670 --> 00:43:20.170
John Stewart: Something came up about my remote healing, and…
00:43:20.450 --> 00:43:22.130
John Stewart: And I said, I'm not even…
00:43:22.630 --> 00:43:24.789
John Stewart: Sure, I was talking to Amy now.
00:43:25.300 --> 00:43:27.489
John Stewart: I can't tell whether it's doing anything.
00:43:27.800 --> 00:43:37.640
John Stewart: And Amy's response was, you won't ever know unless you connect with them within a short time frame, but it is working, don't stop doing it.
00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:39.700
Jacinta Yang: Keep doing what you're doing.
00:43:40.140 --> 00:43:43.230
John Stewart: So… I get messages like this.
00:43:43.610 --> 00:43:52.130
John Stewart: And this patient is just a non-believer, doesn't believe in God, has hated God his whole life, so it's not as if this was…
00:43:52.940 --> 00:43:59.219
John Stewart: a believer in either religion or spirituality, and yet this is the message I got through this person.
00:43:59.660 --> 00:44:00.290
Jacinta Yang: We ain't gonna…
00:44:00.490 --> 00:44:01.180
John Stewart: It works.
00:44:01.180 --> 00:44:04.249
Jacinta Yang: We're gonna go into breaks shortly, and then we'll come back.
00:44:04.370 --> 00:44:06.799
Jacinta Yang: And talk a little bit more about remote healing.
00:45:40.570 --> 00:45:45.030
Jacinta Yang: Welcome back to Beneath the Calm, a space where we talk about
00:45:45.250 --> 00:46:04.739
Jacinta Yang: We have conversation about life matters, about healing and spirituality, and today we are, talking about how to incorporate spirituality into healing, and the, the power of healing that is amplified by spirituality.
00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:09.779
Jacinta Yang: A lot of times, even when people
00:46:10.160 --> 00:46:19.020
Jacinta Yang: are struggling, those who may not believe in spirituality, or may not believe in God, But when life…
00:46:19.660 --> 00:46:23.760
Jacinta Yang: throws them into a corner.
00:46:24.490 --> 00:46:29.559
Jacinta Yang: At some point or the other, people will say, Oh, God, help me.
00:46:30.180 --> 00:46:31.180
Jacinta Yang: So…
00:46:31.700 --> 00:46:41.060
Jacinta Yang: I have… I… I'm pretty sure, I feel… I'm speaking from my perspective, I think a lot of people that may not believe…
00:46:41.230 --> 00:46:49.570
Jacinta Yang: But still, they can't help but say, I hope, or I… or just… Calling out to higher power.
00:46:49.740 --> 00:46:51.919
Jacinta Yang: For some guidance, for some help.
00:46:52.220 --> 00:46:59.560
Jacinta Yang: So, for me, I would say that I've been on the spiritual path
00:47:00.210 --> 00:47:07.390
Jacinta Yang: since I was at a very young age, but I wasn't quite sure that I really was, because…
00:47:07.990 --> 00:47:13.209
Jacinta Yang: Like most of us, We operate from a logical brain.
00:47:13.540 --> 00:47:16.409
Jacinta Yang: And we carry on for many years.
00:47:17.050 --> 00:47:20.490
Jacinta Yang: But life happens. Situation happens.
00:47:20.690 --> 00:47:28.200
Jacinta Yang: That, will actually take us into that journey, whether we want it to or not.
00:47:28.490 --> 00:47:33.969
Jacinta Yang: as, Dr. John Stewart here mentioned, that he's been, you know.
00:47:34.240 --> 00:47:40.309
Jacinta Yang: Left brain all his life, and… Somehow, this is all…
00:47:40.890 --> 00:47:47.390
Jacinta Yang: Coming to the surface, his, experience with hypnotherapy that led him to see
00:47:47.520 --> 00:47:51.790
Jacinta Yang: The side that he never saw, understood.
00:47:52.640 --> 00:47:54.699
Jacinta Yang: And I guess,
00:47:54.960 --> 00:48:08.500
Jacinta Yang: then he reached out to me to understand a little bit more about spirituality. So it's been, an interesting journey, with John, here, and I'm so grateful, and I'm so happy to see
00:48:08.700 --> 00:48:14.630
Jacinta Yang: I'll be with you on this journey, and see what you have done, and you're sharing your…
00:48:14.780 --> 00:48:19.549
Jacinta Yang: story, and you've written a book called Whispers from Beyond?
00:48:20.930 --> 00:48:21.569
John Stewart: That's first for me.
00:48:21.570 --> 00:48:22.530
Jacinta Yang: Oh…
00:48:22.560 --> 00:48:28.519
John Stewart: Prior to that, I recall when, we were first still doing the,
00:48:29.310 --> 00:48:32.340
Jacinta Yang: the Healing Journey sessions, and…
00:48:32.430 --> 00:48:50.669
Jacinta Yang: You had told me you had incorporated spirituality into your practice, and you found that there was better connection with your patients. But something else you also told me that your wife said to you, what happened to my husband? What did you do to him? Can you share a little bit about that?
00:48:52.910 --> 00:48:57.790
John Stewart: he, he commented one evening, who are you?
00:48:58.150 --> 00:49:00.139
John Stewart: What have you done with my husband?
00:49:01.140 --> 00:49:04.379
John Stewart: So, there is an obvious shift.
00:49:05.300 --> 00:49:10.540
John Stewart: in my… Overall being.
00:49:10.810 --> 00:49:16.350
John Stewart: Really. Because I was always that scientist.
00:49:16.750 --> 00:49:19.819
John Stewart: You know, I had to prove each and every little thing.
00:49:20.280 --> 00:49:24.980
John Stewart: She was quite comfortable with that, and quite happy with that. And,
00:49:26.050 --> 00:49:29.730
John Stewart: Now I'm different, very clearly. She's getting used to me now, again.
00:49:30.630 --> 00:49:33.090
Jacinta Yang: In what way would you say are you different?
00:49:34.920 --> 00:49:36.669
John Stewart: Well, I'm much more spiritual.
00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:41.960
John Stewart: One of the things is that
00:49:42.760 --> 00:49:46.870
John Stewart: There are a lot of things… In life.
00:49:47.900 --> 00:49:50.020
John Stewart: That don't seem to matter so much.
00:49:52.240 --> 00:49:57.550
John Stewart: I mean, the things that really matter to me now are…
00:49:58.120 --> 00:50:00.530
John Stewart: very basic things. I have a mantra.
00:50:01.420 --> 00:50:14.860
John Stewart: that I've developed over a number of years. I taught a course with someone on an introduction to mindfulness and meditation. We did that for about 5 years. And working through that, I came up with a mantra that was just
00:50:15.410 --> 00:50:18.479
John Stewart: To treat yourself first, and then others.
00:50:19.090 --> 00:50:23.739
John Stewart: With love, compassion, respect, truth, and without judgment.
00:50:24.070 --> 00:50:26.590
John Stewart: And those are kind of core values.
00:50:26.810 --> 00:50:28.869
John Stewart: And if we live…
00:50:29.520 --> 00:50:34.560
John Stewart: Within the boundaries of our own true self, our own belief system, our own value system.
00:50:35.420 --> 00:50:36.699
John Stewart: We can be happy.
00:50:37.340 --> 00:50:43.319
John Stewart: If we're forced… Who live outside those boundaries.
00:50:43.490 --> 00:50:45.220
John Stewart: We're not going to be happy.
00:50:45.600 --> 00:50:52.290
John Stewart: If we live our lives trying to find Validation and love externally.
00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:55.399
John Stewart: It'll never feel the emptiness that is inside.
00:50:57.040 --> 00:51:01.940
John Stewart: So, the solution to all of that is internal connection with
00:51:02.050 --> 00:51:07.439
John Stewart: Source, God, Creator, Universe, whatever name you want to use.
00:51:07.940 --> 00:51:12.269
John Stewart: And… And your comments triggered some other earlier
00:51:13.190 --> 00:51:16.819
John Stewart: experience that… I've seen a lot of patients, and
00:51:16.960 --> 00:51:22.140
John Stewart: very difficult circumstances. Some of them, at life's end.
00:51:24.780 --> 00:51:27.599
John Stewart: And over the years, I learned
00:51:27.820 --> 00:51:30.390
John Stewart: That if a patient had a strong faith.
00:51:30.560 --> 00:51:34.519
John Stewart: They did better, their outcomes were better. They got through it more easily.
00:51:34.940 --> 00:51:37.889
John Stewart: It didn't matter, it seemed to me, at least.
00:51:38.220 --> 00:51:39.679
John Stewart: What the faith was.
00:51:41.800 --> 00:51:49.320
John Stewart: And the act of believing seems to have strength, and I… Also wonder now if… Regardless,
00:51:49.960 --> 00:51:58.399
John Stewart: faith designation? Are we all not just trying to describe the same Energy. The same being.
00:51:58.740 --> 00:52:05.350
John Stewart: Is it a being? Is it a vibrational energy of love? I… I don't know. My… my science brain gets…
00:52:05.730 --> 00:52:06.500
John Stewart: Beautiful.
00:52:06.810 --> 00:52:14.670
John Stewart: mixed in with trying to assess that, but I've had… I've told people… I haven't… a growing…
00:52:15.150 --> 00:52:17.029
John Stewart: Sizable, maybe, shell.
00:52:17.690 --> 00:52:21.700
John Stewart: So when things come up and I don't understand them, in the past, as a scientist.
00:52:21.800 --> 00:52:23.870
John Stewart: Well, it's not proven, so I'll just reject it.
00:52:24.480 --> 00:52:28.950
John Stewart: Now it goes on my maybe shelf for future consideration, because fetists don't know.
00:52:29.220 --> 00:52:30.140
John Stewart: Maybe.
00:52:31.460 --> 00:52:38.790
Jacinta Yang: So, would you say, prior you going into this spiritual journey.
00:52:38.910 --> 00:52:41.710
Jacinta Yang: Did you… did you follow any faith?
00:52:45.330 --> 00:52:51.910
John Stewart: Well, I was brought up in United Church, and we stopped taking our children to church.
00:52:53.110 --> 00:52:55.570
John Stewart: Very soon after we got to town.
00:52:56.220 --> 00:53:01.489
John Stewart: Because some of the things that they were teaching, especially teaching our children in Sunday school, were…
00:53:01.670 --> 00:53:03.719
John Stewart: Not things that I could accept easily.
00:53:03.880 --> 00:53:04.440
Jacinta Yang: Okay.
00:53:04.440 --> 00:53:12.350
John Stewart: And although my spirituality has grown because of what my patients have taught me, and my shared journeys with them.
00:53:12.510 --> 00:53:16.719
John Stewart: My spirituality has been on a continue… Continuous growth path.
00:53:17.520 --> 00:53:23.360
John Stewart: But it has not included traditional Church, religion.
00:53:23.770 --> 00:53:24.430
John Stewart: Andrews.
00:53:24.620 --> 00:53:29.900
John Stewart: So I see spirituality and religion as being… Not the same thing.
00:53:30.950 --> 00:53:36.420
John Stewart: And for me, that spirituality, and what I'm learning, It was…
00:53:37.100 --> 00:53:42.629
John Stewart: Very, very important. Very core to our being, and in fact, I think we are spiritual…
00:53:42.980 --> 00:53:45.490
John Stewart: Beings having a human journey.
00:53:45.740 --> 00:53:48.370
John Stewart: And we're not humans having a spiritual experience.
00:53:50.170 --> 00:53:52.289
John Stewart: That's a shift for me, it's a big shift for me.
00:53:53.100 --> 00:54:07.180
Jacinta Yang: I, I always teach my clients that are doing the Healing Journey program, to do healing for themselves and also do remote healing, but I think,
00:54:07.570 --> 00:54:16.920
Jacinta Yang: with you, I actually… taught you much earlier than most other, clients, because I felt that
00:54:17.210 --> 00:54:21.430
Jacinta Yang: You're in a position that you can do some healing, so you might as well…
00:54:21.660 --> 00:54:25.099
Jacinta Yang: I, I guess, jump steps with you.
00:54:25.410 --> 00:54:26.230
Jacinta Yang: So…
00:54:26.230 --> 00:54:28.730
John Stewart: Did say that at the time, I do remember it.
00:54:29.650 --> 00:54:33.650
John Stewart: I don't usually do this, but I think you are ready for this.
00:54:34.060 --> 00:54:34.659
Jacinta Yang: And I could…
00:54:34.660 --> 00:54:35.799
John Stewart: Doing it ever since.
00:54:36.290 --> 00:54:44.689
Jacinta Yang: Yeah, and I, you know, I have seen… Honestly, the, the profound…
00:54:44.860 --> 00:54:51.949
Jacinta Yang: impact and, you know, effect of, remote healing. I even have a client who
00:54:52.060 --> 00:55:01.490
Jacinta Yang: said to me, oh, you know, I'd rather come to you in person. Like, she was visiting, from overseas, and her friend was bringing her here.
00:55:01.810 --> 00:55:06.290
Jacinta Yang: And, she thought, In person was much more effective.
00:55:06.490 --> 00:55:11.870
Jacinta Yang: But eventually, her friend could not bring her, so she had no choice but to do it remotely.
00:55:12.280 --> 00:55:16.569
Jacinta Yang: And the first session, she said, whoa, you gave me a…
00:55:16.700 --> 00:55:21.389
Jacinta Yang: a really strong nudge, okay, I believe you. It does work.
00:55:21.820 --> 00:55:27.500
Jacinta Yang: So, now, when you do remote healing with your patients.
00:55:27.980 --> 00:55:31.739
Jacinta Yang: Do you follow up shortly after at all to…
00:55:35.100 --> 00:55:36.350
John Stewart: That's variable.
00:55:36.470 --> 00:55:40.150
John Stewart: If I do have the opportunity to follow up, then yes.
00:55:40.500 --> 00:55:44.480
John Stewart: I don't always have that circumstance.
00:55:44.850 --> 00:55:51.730
John Stewart: For instance, somebody working around the house today, and I just learned that
00:55:52.210 --> 00:55:54.900
John Stewart: There are a couple people in his wife's family.
00:55:55.200 --> 00:55:59.070
John Stewart: Who have, some significant health diagnoses.
00:55:59.500 --> 00:56:06.860
John Stewart: I will include them when I do my meditation tonight, I will include them in my healing circle, and send them energy, even though I've never met them.
00:56:07.800 --> 00:56:11.809
John Stewart: And when I'm doing that, You would know, but I…
00:56:11.920 --> 00:56:16.729
John Stewart: I'm always amazed. The intensity of what I feel in my hands changes.
00:56:17.010 --> 00:56:20.530
John Stewart: From person to person, from circumstance to circumstance.
00:56:20.880 --> 00:56:26.459
John Stewart: And there are times I can feel very powerful, what I feel like a pulling of my energy.
00:56:26.950 --> 00:56:30.319
John Stewart: So I get a sense that something is happening.
00:56:32.510 --> 00:56:39.440
John Stewart: I treasure those moments when I do have the ability to follow up and get feedback to say, yes, it has helped.
00:56:41.420 --> 00:56:52.959
Jacinta Yang: Before we close, we're coming to a close now. I want to thank you, and, so I just want to ask, your book, Beyond the Whispers, is available on Amazon?
00:56:53.480 --> 00:56:54.330
Jacinta Yang: It's first truck.
00:56:54.330 --> 00:56:55.190
John Stewart: beyond.
00:56:56.020 --> 00:56:57.280
John Stewart: It's on Amazon.
00:56:58.390 --> 00:57:02.449
Jacinta Yang: So, thank you, and I just wanted to share with our audience that
00:57:02.800 --> 00:57:06.559
Jacinta Yang: For those of you who have not experienced
00:57:06.670 --> 00:57:11.730
Jacinta Yang: Spirituality, just keep your mind open.
00:57:11.840 --> 00:57:15.040
Jacinta Yang: And see where it can take you.
00:57:15.290 --> 00:57:18.450
Jacinta Yang: Because it can only help you.
00:57:18.630 --> 00:57:26.209
Jacinta Yang: And guide you to, it… I would say our guides keep us safe, too.
00:57:26.600 --> 00:57:39.640
Jacinta Yang: And when we are, troubled with any life challenges, all we have to do is go within and talk to our inner guidance, our spirit guides.
00:57:39.810 --> 00:57:44.689
Jacinta Yang: That can… Take us to a place that we need to be.
00:57:45.100 --> 00:57:57.509
Jacinta Yang: So, thank you so much for joining us today, and it's been such a pleasure going on this journey with you, and I'm sure our journey is going to continue even more stronger.
00:57:58.060 --> 00:58:01.300
John Stewart: I think so. Thank you very much for the opportunity.
00:58:01.860 --> 00:58:02.970
Jacinta Yang: Thank you.
