Gwen Kaiser is an animal activist  who has dedicated her life to healing pets as well as people. She helps us understand how using a very specific meditation method created by Vianna Stibal based on our Theta brain wavelength, can heal pets or people in the present time, from childhood to family genetic lines, to past lives. Often lives that carry forward inexplicable behavior into our present life. All of which affect our actions and may keep us in mindsets that are nonproductive. This is also true for pets, and may explain bad behavior by some pets that have no explanation and that can lead to traumatic consequences for the animal, but might be able to be addressed by Thetahealing successfully.

Guest Bio:                                                                                                                                                        Gwen Kaiser was born and raised on a small farm in New York’s Hudson Valley, where Gwen fostered a close relationship with animals and nature.  In 2012 Gwen entered the world of animal rights when she found out that her then friend was abusing animals and it was during this time she rescued two rabbits, and soon after assisted in the arrest and conviction of said friend. That  incident led her to meet a new friend and business partner, who co-founded with her nonprofit called Reenies Rabbit Rescue, a non profit organization, located in Hudson Valley, where she oversees the care of about 100 rabbits, guinea pigs and cats. During this time, Gwen found the extraordinarily powerful modality called Thetahealing. After studying it for over 12 years, she became a practitioner and launched her practice as a Theta Healer in 2017.   

Thetahealing is a world-renowned meditation technique and spiritual philosophy founded by Vianna Stibal in 1995, who experienced spontaneous healing from her own cancer about 30 years ago, and since then Vianna has witnessed countless other spontaneous healing in others. She learned her purpose was to teach this technique and get across to others that all things are possible when we clear our limiting beliefs system and learn to connect to the creator or universal force.  Vianna Stibal’s books have been translated into 25 languages and she has trained instructors and practitioners who are working in 180 countries with an estimated half a million practitioners worldwide.

In this part one of a two-part interview, Josie Casteneda, a former corporate manager in the fashion industry, was leading a life of stress and disillusionment.  Her audiences are often individuals who feel disconnected from their roots to corporate workers who have gotten lost in their job and need to be brought back to themselves. She is able to guide them by offering approaches each person can use to heal themselves, which gives the individual a new form of independence who often feels obliged to be dependent on one healer.  She will speak about how this work is evolving, and some of the controversy involved among past healers and modern healers in Latin communities. In the upcoming part II, Josie will describe how some of her healing techniques work and the  sacred practices she uses to create each product in her line of remedies.
