The Energy Codes

INTRODUCTION

I was sitting with my eyes closed in a darkened ballroom with hundreds of fellow meditators surrounding me, when suddenly I found myself weightless, suspended high above Earth, engulfed in a radiance so intense that it was as if I were on fire with light. I could feel my absolute vastness. I could see 360 degrees—in every direction—in a light so bright it was ten times brighter than the brightest day in the desert that I had ever seen. Gone was my sense of having a body; instead I was a crystalline ray of light. And, seeing the vastness with my mind’s eye, I knew that I was that. I was the universe itself and all that it entailed. The brilliant, all-encompassing radiance permeating my being was me. I could see the Earth beneath me, about the size of a marble, and every breath I took allowed light to become a loving presence that flowed through my system and into the Earth. I was immense and at one with all of creation.

Yes, this experience totally rocked my world!

From the time I was a little girl, I’d heard my parents talk at the dinner table about energy: everything is energy, and energy is what we humans are really made of. My father was a pioneer in “energy medicine,” a brilliant chiropractic doctor with an internationally renowned body of work, a legend in his field. As a child growing up in his shadow, I always wanted to be around him and continually looked for his approval. As a young adult, I worked alongside him in his health-care practice and attended his popular seminars. I went from being an observer of my father’s work to being an active partner, and after I became a licensed chiropractor, I spent many hours of meaningful time with him. We shared a deep devotion to humanity and a continual excitement about the new energy practices we were discovering to help the people we served.

But even with all my exposure to the concept of energy, I’d never known this infinite vastness of energy. After this personal experience of it, my reality changed. The concept of energy suddenly took on a much deeper meaning. Instantly, I knew that this was who I really was: this pure, intelligent energy—blazing and alive. Peaceful. Eternal. Outside of time and space. I was wise and absolute. My existence was effortless. There was nothing I lacked or wanted for; I was totally, utterly whole and complete. It was a state of exquisite perfection, which I knew was my home. More real than any reality I’d ever known, it was the only place I ever wanted to be.

And what a stark contrast it was to my life experiences to date, which had felt downright torturous at times, and at best like a steep uphill climb. Everything took so much effort. Every day, at some deep level, I felt like I was being sent to the battlefield in a fight for my life. As a child, dealing with these feelings, I developed a debilitating shyness, which at every turn caused me to feel terrified and insecure. I watched softball from the sidelines for two summers because I was afraid of “doing it wrong” on the field. When I finally did step up to bat, I hit home runs. I took this to mean that I should always watch and learn as much as I could before stepping in, because otherwise I might fail. In junior high and high school, I played it safe by becoming an overachiever, always doing things “right” as a way to feel safe and to get approval from others for being a “good person.” I was a cheerleader, played sports, got great grades, won “best actress” in state drama competitions, and was voted “most popular” and “most likely to succeed.” But despite all my efforts, and even the considerable validation I received, my fear of not being good enough never decreased. In fact, most of the time I was downright terrified.

By my midthirties, having become my best version of a good doctor, citizen, and friend driven by perfectionism and overgiving, I felt exhausted. Though I had attained professional and financial success, I lacked joy, love, fulfillment, and a true sense of self. I was suffering physically, too, especially from almost daily migraine headaches that left me unable to lift my head off the pillow, let alone go to work. More and more often, I found myself wondering, Is this really all there is?

Then one day, something inside me snapped. While God had never been a part of my worldview, I was now desperate enough to be willing to let go of doing things my way and to reach out for help. That evening, I walked out onto my balcony, looked up to the heavens, and almost demanded: “You show me, as I am clearly not getting this life thing very well!”

In that very moment of surrender, something shifted. I felt lighter, and right away my life began to improve. A series of serendipitous events took place—people started inviting me to meditation retreats and to have conversations about consciousness and the study of enlightenment and offering books and instructions on how to engage in life in an entirely different way. As I went to the meditation classes, awakenings began immediately shifting my perspective of what was real. Not long after, I was in that ballroom having the profound experience that would forever bring me out of the suffering and struggle that my life had too often been up to that point.

I suspect that you have also had your fair share of struggle and troubles that brought you to the brink of exhaustion and that you can relate to that part of my experience. Perhaps you’ve had a broken heart or have not found lasting love. Maybe you’ve suffered from physical illness or pain, financial struggle or stress, disappointment or disillusionment. There are so many ways we can suffer: from low self-esteem, anger, sadness, resentment, or regret; from the inability to let go of the past and live in the present; from guilt, shame, or the inability to create what we would most truly love to have in our lives; from anxiety, depression, loss, or abuse; from the loss of our true sense of self.

The reason I know with certainty that you’ve experienced some of these feelings and conditions is that we all have. They are the human condition . . . that is, until they’re not! The wonderful truth is that, as a species, we’re evolving beyond this. Collectively, we’re sitting at the edge of a pivotal breakthrough in human consciousness. Living from the perspective of the painful, small, insecure self we’ve always known is not our only choice. Another option is built into us—we’re actually wired for another perspective for living in which we are equipped with full awareness of our true greatness.

How you can systematically switch over to that far more rewarding perspective is what I’ll be sharing with you in The Energy Codes. I’ll show you that there’s a happier, more successful version of yourself that’s available to you right here and now—the same as the version of myself that I experienced that day in the ballroom. That version I know with every ounce of my being is the true reality of who I am . . . and who you are too. Because it’s not just my truth; it’s also yours. It’s who we all truly are.

The best part is that, not only can we perceive this reality from time to time through a spontaneous breakthrough while meditating, we can actually live as that reality, reliably and consistently, throughout our daily, waking, walking lives. That’s the promise of what I call the Energy Codes. What you’re going to learn as...
