Jim welcomes Dr. Smita Garg back to the podcast, introducing her background from India, her doctorate in education, and her online practice, Kinder Way Healing, which offers modalities such as past life regression, Life Between Lives, spirit releasement, and “meet your guides” sessions.
Smita explains her hypnotherapy path began with healing her own trauma from tragic losses and near-death experiences, leading her to train with Dr. Brian Weiss, then Dr. Linda Backman (linked to Dr. Michael Newton and the Newton Institute). She later studied with Holly Holmes-Meredith, plus mentorship through Carole Louie and Peter Smith.
The discussion defines spiritual guides as non-interfering helpers who offer direction while respecting free will. They explore the idea that animals, plants, water, and Earth itself have consciousness.
Smita describes receiving guidance to undertake an “earth healing” mission, which led to creating “Healing in Nature” hikes with Green Foothills and Amah Mutsun Chairman Val Lopez, combining meditation, wildlife connection, and education in local preserves.
Future episodes are planned to discuss Earth Healing on Hawaii and Japan.
