Welcome to Quantum Waves of Wellness. I’m your host, Dr. Paula Apro—Doctor of Natural Medicine, holistic health mentor, and your guide to unlocking the healing power within.

I've been quite busy making the most of the glorious summer in Maine, but I'm back this week to talk about faith and the merging of science and spirit.

Last year, my husband and I, quite spontaneously, joined a church. I can't explain why or how that happened. We've been together over 20 years and never once talked about joining a church. We both felt pretty strongly against the idea of the church as an 'institution.' I guess it was the people within the church that drew us in more so than the establishment itself.

After spending the past 3 winters in the "Bible Belt" of NC, it was difficult not to notice the stark difference between "people of faith" and "people of CNN." There was something about being around devout Christians that just plain felt good, and I wanted to experience more of it.

Not only did I want more of the good feelings that these people created, but I also wanted more of the faith that they carried. Faith is something that I feel I've always struggled with. I find it hard to truly have faith. I can tell myself that I truly believe that something good will happen, but I know that I'm also always ready for Plan B, just in case. I think we all know that is not true faith.

So if church was the place I needed to go to find this faith, I was all in. And if I just happened to make some new friends along the way, even better.

And over the past year, I would say both things have occurred. I have met and made great new friendships, and I feel that my faith has grown, at least a little. There is a very good reason why I wanted to increase my faith, and it's not because I'm desiring a huge windfall or better health for myself.

A very large part of my work greatly depends on my belief in my own healing abilities. If you ask me if I am a confident practitioner of the healing arts, I would say "yes." But at the same time, when clients provide me with amazing testimonials without me even asking, I have to admit...I still feel surprised and blown away. It's almost as if I can't believe how well my healing services actually worked.

For instance, here's the last one that rolled in from a retired RN, and I will withdraw the name for privacy's sake:

"I cannot speak highly enough of my experience working with Dr. Apro. For years, I’ve struggled with an intense fear of flying—so severe, in fact, that I once gave away an all-expenses-paid vacation simply because I could not face getting on a plane.

Thanks to Dr. Apro’s exceptional skill, empathy, and guidance, I was not only able to confront my fear, but her work helped me to overcome it. Recently, I boarded a flight without hesitation to join friends on a trip to Disney World—something I never could have imagined doing.

Dr. Apro’s impact on my phobia has been profound, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking meaningful and lasting change. She is truly outstanding—five stars and two enthusiastic thumbs way up!"

It really bothered me that I was so blown away by this client's words. I should never be surprised by these testimonials. If I truly believed in my healing powers, I should expect them.

Which leads me back to my own level of faith. As the healer, my intention plays a tremendous role in the healing outcomes. And so does the intention and faith of your Western medicine doctor. If he or she truly cares about you and truly believes and intends for you to heal, you will be well on your way back to health. But how many of these doctors put in the extra mental effort, or any mental intention at all?

As a doctor of Natural Medicine with a focus on consciousness as the basis of what is and will ever be, I know that our minds control the magic. And the more faith you have, the more magic you have.

And this is where my story turns tragic. Here's the reality of my last year involved in church and a bible study group...

First, I want to explain that I grew up Catholic, but this church that I now belong to is not Catholic. It is non-denominational and the most welcoming church I have ever walked into. From the moment we walked through the door, everyone we have met so far has been amazingly warm and friendly.

However, I have yet to feel fully comfortable or even feel like I belong. I have become very good at keeping quiet and not fully sharing what I do for a living. I know that what I do and how I do it would be met with some raised eyebrows and many questions.

I just happened to have met a devout Christian at the Society of Dowers Conference, of all places. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to ask her some questions about how she manages to be both a Christian and a dowser. I found it so interesting that she shared a recent conversation she had with a friend regarding her attendance at this conference. Just as I suspected, her friend was convinced it was a gathering of Satan worshipers, and her friend was very upset about her attending the conference. Nothing my new friend could say would sway her friend's views.

So I started to feel that all of my trepidations were well-grounded, and I was glad that I mostly kept my mouth shut in bible study. Matters got even worse when we attended a sermon where the pastor was talking about a long list of sins, and "sorcery' was one of them. I felt like sinking into my chair because I knew without a doubt everybody in the church would consider me a sorceress. Of course, I prefer the term 'alchemist', but really, it's the same thing. Magic is magic.

As we drove home from church, I sat quietly in the car thinking about this whole sorcery thing, and so many thoughts started to flood my mind. I thought about all of the miraculous healings that Jesus performed. I thought about how Christians believe in the Holy Spirit as their guiding force. I thought about how priests can perform exorcisms, which is really just removing negative energies. And all this made me wonder, why on Earth would they question somebody who is essentially doing and using the same magic to create similar miracles?

All I can think is . . . Jesus was the son of God, right?

And we are all children of God.

So doesn't logic say that we all have a little bit of that miraculous power of God within us?

All I know is that I have already performed countless miracles, and that was with limited faith. I am hoping and praying that as my faith grows, I will be able to perform even bigger and better miracles.

Quantum physics proves that there are infinite possibilities to choose from, and the choice is ours. I choose to believe that I can create miracles, and I'm not going to let anybody take that belief away from me. Nor am I going to let anybody convince me that it's a sin to do so.

I truly believe that the real magic happens when we forget about separating science and spirit, and instead combine the power of both.

Welcome to Quantum Waves of Wellness. I’m your host, Dr. Paula Apro—Doctor of Natural Medicine, holistic health mentor, and your guide to unlocking the healing power within.

This week, I want to take a walk on the wild side and dip into the part of my work that I don't usually talk about.

I recently attended the 2025 American Society of Dowsers annual conference. I know that might sound spectacularly 'woo woo,' and if you are unfamiliar with the world of subtle energy, I guess it is. But if you are blessed with the knowledge of the existence of subtle energy, AKA as vital life force (the very thing keeping you alive), you will understand just how very real and scientific it is.

One of the best feelings I had during the conference was meeting the president of the organization. After introducing myself and what I do, she said, "Welcome to your tribe." And that was exactly how I felt...welcomed in the company of so many other people that 'get me' and what I do.

In case you're wondering what dowsing even is, dowsing is the ability to read and interact with invisible, subtle energy.

I know that may sound very vague, but to truly describe all that it entails seems impossible.

Imagine that all the information about the past, present, and even future lives in a quantum field of energy. Now, understand that this energy surrounds everything in the Universe and can be 'tapped into' by those sensitive enough to do so. It's like having the ultimate crystal ball that has all the answers to just about any question you may have. If you have ever heard of the "Akashic records," it's kind of like that.

As I watched many of the vendors using this incredible 'magic' to help conference participants get answers to very difficult life questions, I thought, "Why am I not offering this to my clients?"

I have always been very quiet about this incredible skill, I guess for fear of people thinking that I'm nuts. I quietly use the skill in many of my service offerings, but I have never come out in simple language to tell you . . .

I can get you the answers to your most pressing health questions.

You know, those answers that your doctors can't even come close to answering...the ones that usually start with "Why am I . . . . . ? Or, why does my . . . . .?

These types of questions are answered in a particular service that I offer, called a Body Code™. We first identify the problem or issue you're facing, and then we start to dig down to find all the related energetic imbalances that are causing it.

We must travel down some pretty deep rabbit holes to uncover the very root of the problem, which is almost always some kind of emotional or mental block. Once we release the very root cause, it frees up lots of energy in the body so that it can finally process and heal.

And now, imagine that everything in the Universe is vibrating at a particular frequency and that frequency can be measured by sensitive human beings. I can read the energy of every part of anybody's body from anywhere in the world and determine if there is an energetic disturbance in its field.

I can also determine if any object or substance is beneficial or detrimental to anybody without even having the person or the substance present in my office. What is possible with the power of dowsing is truly mind-blowing.

Obviously, this method of testing is usually met with much skepticism because people simply can’t understand how it works, or even believe that it works. This is why I got very interested in the mechanics and science of it all.

The most common form of dowsing is "Psychic or Mental Dowsing.” This is the term for using a pendulum to get simple yes or no answers. Many years ago, I took three different courses on Psychic or Mental Dowsing and was having a ball with it.

But then, I stumbled upon something called “Physical Radiesthesia.” I know what you’re thinking . . . “How does one stumble upon something so obscure?” Here’s the answer – you don’t.

It was no accident that this term was brought into my field of awareness. The Universe made sure that it happened because it was the next logical step for me to progress along my spiritual and energetic journey.

I wrote an article years ago that gives some background info for those really curious to learn more about where Physical Radiesthesia came from. If you are interested in that, you can read it in my show notes.

Physical Radiesthesia is much more technical than Mental Dowsing and has far deeper insights into qualities of energy and their effects. And this is why I have taken many advanced courses to learn all about it. By definition, Radiesthesia is the science of using man’s sensitivity to vibrations to obtain information from the energy levels that are not accessible to our five senses.

It can:

* Directly detect the invisible vibrations coming from any person, place, or thing.

* Differentiate various vibrations from each other to know the exact quality and functions of each separate vibration.

* Test the vibrations within any part of a living body and how any substance or vibration is affecting the energy of a living being, at any scale (from DNA and cells to organs, chakras, meridians, the entire body, or any level of the energy field in or around the body).

* Tell the exact quality of energy and distinguish highly toxic vibrations from beneficial ones.

Basically, Physical Radiesthesia can develop the human subtle body into an organ of perception, allowing it to perceive the invisible vibrational world that is all around us! How cool is that?

Scientists such as Louis Turenne (an Engineer and Professor of Radio Wave technology) began to use these techniques to explore the invisible vibrational world. Turenne knew that we are surrounded by invisible waves that we would never know existed if we didn’t have an instrument to detect them.

We have radio waves all around us, and even passing through us, but without an antenna, there is no way of tuning in. Well, I am that antenna, and I consider this my superpower.

If you're curious to learn more about how I can use my superpower to get you answers to some of your health concerns, please reach out. Either drop a comment here, email me at [email protected], or visit my website at www.mariposaenergy.co and look for Body Code under the Services tab.

Welcome to Quantum Waves of Wellness. I’m your host, Dr. Paula Apro—Doctor of Natural Medicine, holistic health mentor, and your guide to unlocking the healing power within.

In my last episode, I mentioned my goal of putting the power of healing directly into your hands, and today I'm going to share one of my favorite, most versatile, powerful, and easiest-to-use tools.

It's called the Genius Insight, and the name is fitting because I do think it's genius. I'm starting with this one because I truly think there's no problem that it can't help. And that says a lot because just imagine all the endless medical ailments that people are currently suffering from.

Now, this is one of two different quantum biofeedback voice analysis tools that I use. This software can record a 15-second clip of your voice, analyze the heck out of it, and then help you address your immediate needs.

Not only can this Genius app figure out where your highest priority energetic imbalances are, but it can also create and deliver the healing frequencies to you via sound. Now that really is "genius," don't you think?

I've been using this tool for about 5 years now, but something recently happened that got me very excited to really start sharing it. If you listened to my last episode, I posed the question of, "How long do you think it will be before your doctor is replaced by a robot?"

Now that certainly is not a pleasant thought by any means, and it's downright terrifying to think what AI is going to do to our world. However, like I always say, I do try to find a positive spin on things, and, in this case, it's pretty much me getting replaced by AI. But I'm excited by it because it puts so much power directly into the hands of open-minded folks like you who are willing to try new things.

The software was never hard to use, but the enormous amount of information that it delivers is downright overwhelming...and it's connecting all the dots and finding the patterns that are the crucial elements in uncovering and addressing root cause issues. That was where I would come in.

I could listen to the client, review a mountain of data, know where to go looking for clues, and then hopefully pull together a cohesive custom healing plan. It took me nearly a decade of education and experience to do this, and now, can you guess what I'm about to say? That's right, you guessed it...AI can do it faster and better.

Now you may be thinking things like, "I wouldn't trust AI. How do I know what it's telling me is accurate?" Well, that's the beauty of somebody who has been hammering on this software, along with other bioenergetic analysis tools for the past 4+ years. If anybody knows the state of their energetic wellness, it's me. And let me tell you, the reports this thing generates astound me with their accuracy.

I am blown away by what I'm seeing so far.

I truly cannot get over how accurate the summaries are. I hate to admit it, but I don't think any mere human could identify the absolute top health concerns and priorities with suggested protocols as accurately, and certainly never as efficiently.

Let me give you an example. The very first thing you do when you start a session is record 15 seconds of your voice repeating the vowels. Now, before I even analyze my recording against the huge database of health parameters, the new software will first give me some general info about my voice inflections. And here's a brief snippet of what it told me...

"Based on the formant frequencies:

The relatively low F0 suggests potential adrenal fatigue or foundational energy depletion. This may be an area to explore further, potentially linking to stress, exhaustion, or decreased vitality.

The F5 value is relatively high, indicating potential mental overactivity or heightened intuition. This could be a sign of either a strong mental focus or overstimulation."

I realize that many people listening or reading this may not personally know me, but if you do know me, you know that this describes me to a T. And we have only just begun.

Next, I analyze my voice against the huge database of frequencies to determine where my highest priority imbalances are. The AI feature went to work and output a detailed report in under 1 minute. Here's what I learned from the summary...

My overall "Patterns and Themes" include:

Toxicity and Sensitivity: The high scores in Chemical Sensitivities, Electrical Sensitivities, and Organs suggest a strong toxic load and sensitivity to environmental substances.

Emotional Turmoil: Emotional issues are likely playing a

significant role in the client's current state.

Energetic Stress: The high scores in Amino Acids, Organs, and Glands suggest a complex interplay between nutritional, hormonal, and energetic factors.

BioField Disturbances: The presence of high scores in Sacred

Geometry and Spiritual Protection, along with the Aura and Chakra scores, indicate that the client's biofield is experiencing significant stress and potential fragmentation.

And here's the best part. The report goes on to suggest some "Root-Cause Hypotheses.". Here's what it said..

The client's energetic profile suggests a complex interplay between physical, emotional, and spiritual factors. The high toxic load, emotional turmoil, and biofield disturbances are likely contributing to the current state. A potential root cause is a deep-seated, unresolved emotional trauma that is manifesting as physical and energetic stress.

Now this is not news to me. It's actually been only this year that I finally took this seriously and started to address it. Unresolved trauma is a tricky thing because it can get repressed so deep, we have a very hard time accepting, admitting, and addressing it.

I had a very hard time believing that I'm so emotionally imbalanced. On the outside, I am extremely stable, happy, and cheerful. But that, my friends, is nothing more than being a master at deception. And all of that pushing down and repressing the true problems takes a tremendous amount of energy, which finally explains my low cellular voltage.

For over 5 years now, I've been working on my cellular voltage. How on EARTH can MY voltage be low when I'm constantly jacking myself up with energy medicine tools? I just keep charging myself up, and all the while not addressing the root cause of the issue.

Truly, how many more mistakes can I publicly reveal on this podcast? I have to be learning all of these lessons for a reason, and I hope that reason is to help others avoid them.

It's crazy how it took AI to tell me the real painful truth about my true problems. Once I came to terms with this reality, I dug a little deeper by looking into my brainwaves. Yes, lately I'm very interested in the brain because it is the master control system of the body. If I could just take control of what's going on in my brain...then maybe I could suggest that is finally let go of whatever it happens to be gripping to.

The Genius AI broke down each of the brainwaves and explained where I stood. It summarized by telling me:

This pattern may reflect an energetic field that is struggling to balance between high mental activity and relaxation. The presence of stress across various brainwave frequencies suggests that your nervous system is working hard to manage stressors, possibly related to emotional overwhelm or persistent mental demands. It's as if your mind is constantly "on the go," making it challenging to achieve deep relaxation or mental clarity.

Ok, if anybody out there is listening or reading that knows me personally, please drop a comment to verify the fact that AI has me nailed!

So, what have I personally learned from traveling down this AI rabbit hole? I've learned that I really need to shift my focus to one simple thing, and that is to SLOW DOWN and relax my brain. I truly believe that it's my constant on-the-go workaholic state that doesn't allow my emotions to settle and release.

Part of me wants to announce this to be my last podcast episode for a while, so I can do just that, but that is likely not going to happen. I first have to spread the word about how you can do all of this for yourself, right at home.

Which leads me to the most amazing good news. The software that I'm using, the Genius Insight App, has recently released a "home" version for only $495. Now remember at the beginning of this show, I mentioned that I used two different voice analysis software tools? Well, my other tool cost me over $20,000 . . . and honestly, it's the Genius that I use more!

This foot-in-the-door price is amazing in this world of bioenergetics, and if that isn't attractive enough, they're now also offering the opportunity to get started for... You ready for this?....only $47 down. This is an incredible opportunity to put the amazing power of frequency healing directly into your own hands. What are you waiting for?

If everybody goes and puts the power of healing into their own hands, then I can finally take my much-needed rest. 🙂 So please help me and go check it out. I am dropping the link to get this amazing deal into my show notes.

Welcome to Quantum Waves of Wellness. I’m your host, Dr. Paula Apro—Doctor of Natural Medicine, holistic health mentor, and your guide to unlocking the healing power within.

In my last couple of episodes, I introduced you to an amazing new tool that helps you improve your mental health. Sometimes it's hard to believe how powerful and accessible some of this new healing technology is becoming.

I think it's so important to take charge of our own health and do something every day to improve or maintain it. We live in such a toxic world. If it's not chemicals and EMF smog poisoning us at every turn, it's the constant flow of fear-inducing media. We just can't escape the onslaught of things meant to harm us. So what are we to do?

Well, for starters, we can arm ourselves with powerful tools that can combat all this nonsense. And by those, I mean healing devices. There are so many amazing tools that are accessible and affordable, but most people will never even hear about. And why is that?

Because believe me when I tell you, spreading the word about natural healing alternatives is not an easy task. There are so many federal regulations it makes my stomach sick. I've been in this world of alternative medicine for nearly a decade, and I slowly watch, year by year, the regulations getting stronger and stronger, allowing holistic practitioners to say less and less.

It's to the point now where the list of words that I am not allowed to publish on my website is so long that there are almost no words left that I can actually use to tell the true story about what I aim to do. I know this sounds like really bad news, but I always like to put a positive twist on things, so…. I am looking at this situation as if alternative modalities must be a huge threat to mainstream medicine. If they were not, there wouldn't be such a pushback against them.

But the fact is that Big Pharma wants to squash alternative healing tools because they work. And if people knew about these tools and could easily access them, it would cut into Big Pharma's pockets. I am on a mission to help spread the word about what is possible when you open your mind and step out of the tiny box called “Western Medicine.”

When was the last time you visited a doctor and left their office actually feeling better? Has that ever happened to you? How much do you pay to visit your doctor and get 10 minutes to talk to him or her? While eight of those minutes probably were consumed by the doctor typing into a laptop.

And what was the result of your visit? You probably booked a follow-up appointment and marched your way to the pharmacy for a pill that will shut off the ever-important signal that is telling you something needs to change.

Taking away a symptom does not equal improving your health. And by the way, the symptom is just the message that something in your body, mind, or soul needs to change. Improving your health would require uncovering exactly what it is that needs to change in order for your body to heal itself.

Now imagine a device that can uncover the problem in your body, mind, and/or soul that needs help. And not only can these devices uncover the problems, but they can also help to make the necessary changes that the body needs to make in order to heal. And imagine being able to do this all by yourself, in your own home, for less than what one doctor visit would cost, if you had no insurance.

I know this sounds too good to be true, but this is just one example of the power of energy and frequency medicine. This is what I call "the future of medicine" because, like everything else in this world...technology is making our lives easier every day. And speaking of technology, and specifically AI, how long do you think it will be before your doctor is replaced by a robot?

The fact that this new technology has become so accessible and so easy is making me want to shift the focus of my practice. I have gotten to the point where I no longer feel good about having clients come to see me once or twice a month and pay good money for me to utilize tools that they can use themselves.

Not only is this costing clients more in the long run, but these tools are meant to be used often in small doses. Would it be better to brush your teeth for an hour once per month, or do you think it would be much more beneficial to brush them every day? Well, energy medicine is really the same way. Taken often, in small doses, will create a lasting change and protect you from future problems.

Up until now, I have not tried to sell a thing, mostly because I don't like sales and never considered myself a salesperson. I'm much better at giving things away than selling them. Bad business model, I know, and this needs to change. I need to start spreading the word about these magical tools and start getting them directly into the hands of people who can use them.

What if you diverted the money wasted at your doctor's office into some of these tools that put the power of your healing directly into your own hands? Imagine the possibilities that could create for you.

I am planning to share some of the exact tools that I'm using and let you all know that they are not difficult to use or outrageously expensive. In fact, some of the tools that I use have various levels of power to choose from with corresponding price points. Yes, I am using the practitioner level of everything, which gives me all the bells and whistles, but it's not necessary to have all of these things.

Please stay tuned to future episodes to learn more about just how easy and affordable it is to put some of this magical healing energy into your hands. And if you just can't wait, you can visit my website at www.mariposaenergy.co and click on the "Quantum Healing Tools" under the Products menu.

Thanks for listening, and I'll be back again soon.

Welcome to Quantum Waves of Wellness. I’m your host, Dr. Paula Apro—Doctor of Natural Medicine, holistic health mentor, and your guide to unlocking the healing power within. In my last episode, I introduced the NeuroVIZR—an amazing device designed to help clear mental clutter and revitalize your brain. But how exactly does it work?

Well, today, I’m pulling back the curtain to show you why this powerful tool is unlike anything you've tried before. I'll explain the difference between simply training your brain to follow patterns and truly engaging it to become more flexible, adaptive, and youthful. If you’ve ever felt stuck in old habits or worried about mental decline as you age, this episode might just change your perspective—and your brain.

Everybody is familiar with retraining our brains using hypnosis. This form of re-training is called "brain entrainment", and the idea is that the brain will methodically follow along if it is repeatedly exposed to a stimulus. If you listen to say a brainwave frequency audio file, it won't be long before your brain falls into that same brainwave state. It just can't help itself.

It's like when your favorite song comes on the radio and you just can't help but to start tapping your foot. This tapping is done almost automatically. You don't have to put much thought or effort into it. And, your foot can tap while you simultaneously do other tasks. It's like it's on autopilot.

So brain entrainment sort of forces your brain to blindly follow a repeated stimulus. In hypnosis, your subconscious is exposed to some kind of messages, coaxing you into believing whatever the desired outcome or behavior is. In many cases, you don't even have a choice because your brain is just following a command from outside of you. This trains your brain to do, or in many cases, not to do a particular thing.

This is great for many different reasons because it's very hard for people to stop smoking, over-eating, or gambling, etc. Brain entrainment helps you to cut the familiar neural pathway that leads you to these undesired behaviors.

It's also great to listen to positive affirmations and hypnosis that can train your brain into believing all kinds of positive things. In this case, brain entrainment helps to establish new neural pathways to create "muscle memory" in order to make some things become easier for you.

But that is not what the NeuroVIZR is all about. It is not trying to make your brain believe or do one specific thing. It's so much more. It's using something called 'brain engagement' to train your brain to move, shift, pivot, and change when it needs to.

True brain health is all about being flexible and having the ability to move in many different directions when needed. A healthy and flexible brain can cut the neural pathways that it no longer desires, and it can create new neural pathways when it needs to.

Imagine the difference between being able to effortlessly tap your foot to music (which is equivalent to brain entrainment) and being able to get up and effortlessly ballroom dance to your favorite song. The dancing requires so much more, right?

Your brain needs to go in many different directions at once. It needs to lay down new neural pathways so you can remember the steps and sequences. But it also needs to prune the old pathways...you know, the ones that tell you that you have no rhythm and you can't dance.

Do you ever marvel at why some people can go to a dance class and effortlessly pick up the steps, remember the patterns, and dance after just one lesson, while others struggle to learn the very basic steps? Yes, you can say that some people have rhythm and some don't, but you can also say that some have better-functioning brains than others.

Using the NeuroVIZR is like a gym for your brain. It helps your brain flex and change. It keeps it supple and pliable. We really should not be striving to deepen our habitual pathways and create more autopilot habitual actions.

In fact, as we age, it's important to do the exact opposite. The more new experiences we have, the better chance we have at breaking OUT of our "set ways." And no matter how old you are, trust me, you could use to break out of your stubborn ways of thinking, acting, and doing.

Are you somebody who can effortlessly 'go with the flow', or do you like everything in your life to follow your known and familiar pathways? For most people, it's the latter because the more you do something, the easier it becomes, and we all like easy.

Which is the best part of the NeuroVIZR. It couldn't get any easier to use it. Not only is it easy to use, but it's also enjoyable to use. Just hearing the word "gym" makes many people cringe. Who wants to go to a gym where you have to pay money every month to go somewhere to torture yourself?

Working out isn't always enjoyable. Honestly, for most, it's never enjoyable. It's like flossing your teeth. You don't like doing it, but you know you have to do it.

Well, using the NeuroVIZR is nothing like going to the gym or flossing your teeth. For starters, you don't have to pay that recurring monthly membership fee. I don't know about you, but I am personally up to my eyeballs with all those subscriptions. I know they sound like no big deal, after all, what's another $30 a month...but when you add them all up, you're astonished at just how much money automatically gets sucks out of your account every month.

After your one-time investment in the NeuroVIZR, your brain gym is anywhere you take your portable little device, and you can use as many sessions as you want for no extra charge. And, unlike flossing your teeth, you will look forward to and enjoy each and every session. I simply love my NeuroVIZR sessions, and I love how they make me feel for the rest of the day.

As I age, I personally want to do everything I can to keep my brain pliable and flexible. I want to easily be able to see new perspectives and pivot away from my habitual thinking and behaviors.

As a yoga instructor, way back in the day, I remember always saying,

"You're only as old as your spine is flexible."

In other words, if you can keep your spine flexible, you can remain youthful. But as soon as your spine stiffens up, you're in trouble. That's when you're going to start feeling, moving, and acting old.

Over 20 years later, I still practice yoga every day, and even in my mid- to (quickly-creeping-up late) 50s, I am still physically very flexible. I still feel great with no aches and pains whatsoever.

Now, as a practitioner of energy medicine and a natural health guru, I am saying,

"You are only as old as your brain is flexible."

By keeping your brain's ability to pivot and change, and not allowing it to only follow your deep habitual neural networks, you can remain mentally sharper and better emotionally balanced throughout your life.

And I gotta say, NeuroVIZR sessions are a whole lot easier and more enjoyable than daily down dogs and up dogs. Not that I'm ever going to give up yoga because I truly believe that both our brains and our spines are the critical elements to tapping into the fountain of youth.

And speaking of the Fountain of Youth, I'm going to include a recent photo of my husband and I in the show notes. Please note that our combined age is 126 years!

We are not just going to roll over and accept the fact that we have to decline as we age.

Are you????

Hello and welcome to another episode of Quantum Waves of Wellness. This is Dr. Paula Apro, and today I'm going to share with you the importance of regularly hitting the delete button of your brain.

So tell me, when was the last time you walked into a room and completely forgotten why you went in there? Or stood in front of the fridge wondering what exactly you were looking for? I'm betting the older you get, the more it happens. It's scary, isn't it?

If you’re over 50, chances are these moments come with terrifying questions like, "Is this memory loss? Is my brain starting to decline? Is this the beginning of dementia?"

But what if I told you something surprising...those little lapses might actually be your brain doing its job! In fact, these episodes may be exactly what you need to retain your brain health.

Because your brain wasn’t designed to just store things—it was also designed to LET GO of things.

But most of us have a hard time with this letting go, even if it's just old junk that we are letting go of. Wait, did I just call the thoughts in your brain "old junk?" Yes, I did. Because in most cases, that is exactly what it is, useless junk.

Your brain is filled to the brim with emotional baggage and limiting beliefs that are dragging you down in so many ways. And when most of us think of brain health, we imagine it as a race to add new knowledge and remember more things.

But neuroscience has revealed a deeper truth: Your brain stays healthy not by holding on to everything, but by knowing what to delete.

This built-in delete button is part of a process called synaptic pruning, and if you learn to use it, you can stay sharper, more creative, and more mentally agile at any age. So the next time you forget what you were looking for in the fridge—or can’t find your words mid-sentence—don’t panic. Maybe your brain is just emptying the trash to make room for something new.

Because remember, real brain health isn’t about remembering everything. It’s about knowing what to let go of!

Let's imagine your brain as if it were your home. Each thought, each habit, and each skill you practice is like a new object that you bring into and store inside of your home. And the older your home, the more clutter you accumulate. In your brain, all of these objects would be connected to each other through synapses.

Now imagine your brain like a cluttered garage, attic, or basement—so many tangled synapses, that it's hard, and sometimes impossible to find anything when you need it. To keep the system healthy, your brain uses tiny helper cells called microglial cells to prune the unused synaptic connections. This process clears space for the ones you actually use.

These little cells are like your brain’s Marie Kondo—tidying up the thoughts that no longer spark joy. When you regularly take out the trash that you no longer need, you make room for new things to come in. This is called balance, something we all struggle with.

We struggle because this cleaning process doesn’t happen when you’re multitasking or stressed out. And just ask yourself, how many waking hours per day are you NOT multi-tasking or stressing out? Scary right?

This cleaning-out process primarily happens when you sleep. During deep sleep, your brain cells actually shrink to make room for the cleanup crew. This is why after a good night's sleep, you awake feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day.

In addition to the problems of multi-tasking and stress, another reason you may not empty your trash as often as you should is because you have trouble deciding what to keep and what to throw away. It's a common problem when you're cleaning out your attic. It's also a common problem in life.

We fall into habitual patterns, most of which are usually self-defeating. But it's not our fault. By the time we reach the age of 7, we have been programmed by our parents and other adult figures in our lives.

Like it or not, we are now the byproducts of our parents’ limiting belief system. We were molded into something we might not have chosen for ourselves, which can leave us feeling stuck and unable to step into the life we truly want to live.

Do you know why we get so stuck? We make this problem even worse when we repeatedly do the same things day after day. Yes, it's called the daily grind.

* We drive the same exact roads to work every day and spend all of our time with the same people.

* We think the same thoughts day in and day out, complaining about the same politics or family issues.

* Our daily schedule and routine are like carbon copies of one another...and we wonder why we feel stuck.

The more we repeat those routines, the harder it becomes for our brains to grow and adapt. If you want to change your life, you need to change your thoughts and your actions. But we all know that's not so easy to do. In order to change your brain, you have to interrupt the habitual patterns.

At the very least, we should make an effort to change up our daily routines, even in small ways. Take a different route to work occasionally. Do a different exercise routine. Learn or practice a new skill.

For years, science told us the adult brain was fixed. We used to believe that once you became an adult, the brain stopped growing—and that after 50, it was all downhill from there. Well, that is simply not true.

Thanks to the science of neuroplasticity, we now know the brain can rewire, adapt, and grow throughout our lives. Neuroplasticity allows us to break out of the rut and create new neural pathways. This happens when we try those new things and have those new experiences.

But look, I get it. Sometimes when you’re stuck in the daily grind, even trying something new feels overwhelming and exhausting. So what do you do? Well, here's an idea. Let's talk about my favorite subject—consciousness.

Most of us live in the ordered, logical, structured mind that helps us survive. But there’s another state called Primary Consciousness, which is a more expansive mode where creativity flourishes and where new learning happens. This is my favorite place to be! Nothing thrills me more than creativity.

You enter this state often when you dream. Some lucky people reach it through meditation, and others through psychedelics. But there’s a sneaky other way—a kind of shortcut—and it involves a powerful combination of light and sound. That's right, this is my world of frequency and energy.

New research shows that carefully crafted light and sound stimulation can gently nudge the brain out of its default patterns—specifically by quieting the part of the brain responsible for your ego. When this system is dialed down, your brain opens up. You become more present, more imaginative, and more open to new ideas.

Now, wouldn't it be great if there was a cool gadget that helped us delete unnecessary clutter, break out of habitual routines, and provide new experiences? It sure would be... and thanks to a piece of incredible new technology called a Neurovizr, you can achieve all of these things in just 11 effortless and enjoyable minutes per day.

The Neurovizr is a personal wellness device that uses neuro-stimulation and brainwave entrainment to stimulate brain activity to promote long-term cognitive growth. And it does all of this through an enjoyable multi-sensory light and sound experience.

It’s not a pill. You don't need a prescription. It’s a light and sound experience that helps you access your brain’s full potential—in just 11 minutes a day.

I'm telling you, I own more healing and self-care devices than I care to admit. I have invested obscene amounts of money on health and wellness tools, but right now, nothing is thrilling me more than my Neurovizr. What sets this tool apart from all the others is that I truly ENJOY using it. I look forward to it because it instantly makes me feel good.

Not only do I enjoy the experience and feel good using it, but I truly believe that our brains are our master control system. You can work tirelessly, eating the right diet, doing the right physical exercises, even balancing your invisible energy, but if your master control system goes haywire, you're in big trouble.

If I can help my brain by carving out 11 minutes each day to truly enjoy a magical, mystical trip, I'm all in!

So I just want to close by reminding you that...

Your brain never stops evolving.

And the best part? You get to decide if your brain declines with age… or evolves. My favorite quote from the inventor of the Neurovizr is this...

"Whatever state your mind is in today, it can be better tomorrow."

And I like to say,

"If you can change your mind, you can change your life!"

Hello this Dr. Paula Apro and I'd like to welcome you to another episode of Quantum Waves of Wellness. I never imagined that after all these years as an energy medicine practitioner—armed with advanced tools, credentials, and countless hours of study—I would find myself humbled by one of the most basic elements of subtle energy: the aura. But that’s exactly what happened. It took an unexpected insight from my own Gene Keys profile to illuminate a blind spot that I didn’t know I had. Let me explain.

Upon further exploration of my Gene Keys, I discovered something very interesting that relates to my health. Without getting too deep or technical, there is something called the "lines" that connect special pairs of Gene Keys. Each key connection is ruled by one of six different lines. Please don't get too bogged down trying to make sense of all this right now. I just need to explain the lines a little so that I can tell you more about this other healing revelation that I recently had.

My Gene Key of Radiance (which controls my health) and my Gene Key of Purpose (which deeply fulfills me) are controlled by the 6th Line. As this line refers to my Radiance or Health, the course material tells me ...

"Your health and wellbeing is best nurtured through an attitude of patience. Your challenge in life is to water this seed every day, without losing hope that one day it will blossom."

And the 6th line, as it refers to my Key of Purpose (or my fulfillment) tells me that...

"If you have a 6th line Purpose, then your fulfillment comes through the realization that your aura is the thing that really does the talking. Regardless of how you express Purpose, you convey it through the intent of the frequency of your aura."

Naturally, being an energy medicine practitioner, I'm no stranger to the aura. But I gotta admit... I am a bit guilty of the fact that I never gave it the attention that it's worth. I always felt like talking about the aura and the chakras felt a little too woo woo, and I was afraid I would not be taken seriously if I spent too much time focusing on them.

It's hard for me to admit so many mistakes in this podcast. My goodness, it's just embarrassing. So here I am thinking that, "With my credentials, I need to focus on the 'sciency stuff' like bioenergetics." After all, the sciency stuff sounds more impressive, right?

When in fact it's the aura and the chakras that tell your entire story and run your physical body. Being a Pranic healer, I have so much more experience with the chakra system. I think that's because it's more tangible to me. I can study each chakra, all the various organs and body systems they control, and exactly which emotions affect them. To me, the chakras seemed easier to wrap my head around and they were also far easier for me to measure with my various tools.

But the aura, well, it's a bit more tricky. My only real experience with reading auras was practicing Biofield Tuning, which is an amazing modality. Using Biofield Tuning, a practitioner can sound a tuning fork and simply pass it through the invisible biofield of a client. Any distortions in the field will affect the sound of the tuning fork. Actually, I should note that I have also done this procedure with a pendulum, and sure enough, the pendulum will alter its spin when a distortion is encountered.

So I was able to sense distortions, but I never really learned how to “read the life story of the person” based on those distortions. For some reason, I found the chakra system easier for me to read, so I somewhat abandoned paying much attention to the aura, which was a huge mistake.

Now I'm coming full circle, and the most basic things that I learned as an energy medicine practitioner are coming back to haunt me. Perhaps, just perhaps, the reason these things were amongst the first things taught in Energy Medicine School was because they were the most important foundational things. Hanging my head in shame.

Maybe it's time I started to take my own aura more seriously. After all, the Gene Keys wisdom is telling me that the frequency of my aura directly links my health to my purpose and fulfillment. It seems to me that this aura frequency is crucial for me, and the dirty little truth is that I know my aura is chronically weak.

Remember a couple of episodes ago when I admitted that I'm like a hairstylist with bad hair? Well, here's just another example. I know my aura is weak. I've known this since my first year of energy medicine school. In fact, my instructor called my aura "Swiss cheese" because of all the holes leaking my good energy out, and letting other'’ toxic energy in. In fact, it was so bad that it made me even doubt that I could ever be strong enough to be a practitioner.

For some reason, after deciding to move mostly away from all the 'hands-on' work, I thought I was shielding myself from other people's energy, so I was "all good." Yeah right. I might be more protected from taking on other people's bad energy, but that doesn't mean that my aura is strong and healthy. Not even close.

It's time that I make strengthening my own aura a priority! And luckily for me, I have fancy quantum devices that do most of the hard work for me. I have multiple different ways to read my own aura, with readings so detailed that I can track progress in actual numbers and data.

I've decided to use my Genius Insight software to track because it provides me with a numerical value and a color coding system to let me know if my aura frequency is within the healthy range or not.

I'm not going to focus too much on the numbers for now, but the important thing to know is the color coding system. Here's the breakdown of the measuring stick:

* Results coded in red mean things are acutely out of balance. They might be short-term, but they are happening right now.

* While results coded in blue indicate something that is chronically out of balance. Think of these things like red items, only they've been out of balance for a long time.

* Results coded in yellow means things are just slightly out of balance.

* While results coded in green indicate being in a healthy balance.

Basically, Blue is the worst, followed by red. Green is great, and yellow is not really a concern.

For the past 3 years, my aura has almost always been in the blue zone, which means it is chronically weak and out of balance. And this is so hard to admit, and because it's been so stubborn, I think I may have given up on it. I guess I just didn't give it the importance it deserves, and I went on working on all my other priority imbalances. If I only knew then just how important my aura was FOR ME.

And I emphasize "for me" because everybody is different. I'm not saying that the aura wouldn't be important for everybody, however, it may not be as high of a priority as it is for me. Which makes me want to remind you just how important it is to truly know yourself - to know what is encoded in your genetic makeup, and to know exactly what makes you tick. It should always be the first step in healing because, without this knowledge, you will make the same mistake that I made and not know where to begin.

Now that I finally know that my aura deserves my attention and my efforts, I am on a mission to see if I can move my aura readings out of the 'blue zone' and into a more healthy range. To do this, I'm using my Healy device and a special group of programs called the "Soul Cycle." There is one specific program in this group called "Aura Pure" and that is where I'm putting most of my focus.

It will be so interesting to see what happens in a few months. I would love to think I can make a lasting change in less time, but I have to be realistic. Keeping in mind that I'm pretty sure I've been in the blue zone my entire life, I have to be patient.

Ahhhh, patience. Let me just repeat the Gene Key Wisdom taken from my 6th line....

"Your health and wellbeing is best nurtured through an attitude of patience. Your challenge in life is to water this seed every day, without losing hope that one day it will blossom."

What a wonderful coming together of my two lessons: to be patient and to work on my aura every day.

Which leads me to a common desire of many clients. Most people find their way to my office only after they’ve explored "all their other options" and found no success. They usually get very excited about this "new medicine," and they set their expectations very high, hoping for an instant fix.

I usually like to remind these folks that if something took decades to manifest, we need to be realistic regarding the time it may take to heal. The worst thing we can do is give up too soon. In my case, I'm trying to alter my aura, which is the blueprint of who I am. Can you imagine going from a beach-house bungalow to a high-rise skyscraper in a week? That would certainly inflict some severe growing pains, don't you think?

And this is another thing that I love about the Gene Keys. The guidance is upfront and honest that this work can take years of contemplation to fully settle in. Anything worth having is worth waiting for, and patience is a virtue that we can all use. I know I certainly can.

So I'm approaching my goal of healing my aura slowly and mindfully. In future episodes, I will try to share a little more about the aura reports that I can generate with the Healy device. They are nothing short of amazing. Please stay tuned if you are at all interested in learning more about YOUR aura.

And in the meantime, I want to remind you that I am offering a special price on introductory energetic wellness reports. These include a bioenergetic voice analysis, a detailed report, and a 30-minute virtual consult with me. For more details and booking options, please visit www.re-awaken.me.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Quantum Waves of Wellness. This is Dr. Paula Apro picking up where I left off last week on my journey through self-exploration with the Gene Keys. My emergence into this truly fascinating world has been a magical one, and I want to share more insights with you today.

Over the past couple of weeks, I talked about the first two Gene Keys. The first one relates to your life's work, and the second one relates to the biggest lesson or challenge that you are to learn in this lifetime. Now, I want to move on to the next two Gene Keys along the Activation pathway. Together, these four keys encompass who you are and what makes you tick.

The reason why the third key is near and dear to my heart is because this Key of Radiance relates to your health and wellness. And here's the thing...no matter how hard we try to be as healthy as we can, there is a hidden force inside each of us, and it's greatly influenced by the powerful energy of this Gene Key.

Just to remind you, each Gene Key has a Shadow side and a Gift side, and it's the Shadow that really illuminates my life lessons. The Shadow side of this Radiance Key can really mess with our health. We are usually not even aware of this energy (well, not until you learn about your personal Gene Keys, that is), but it is quietly steering your life.

Spending too much time on the Shadow side of this Gene Key can easily make you fall out of sync with the natural rhythm of life. And when we lose that connection, our bodies feel stressed, our immune systems weaken, and we find ourselves stuck in a cycle of rushing, worrying, and mistrusting the natural flow of life. Now, if anybody knows all about those things, it’s me!

The more you can uncover and heal this inner Shadow, the more you can return to your true, natural state — vibrant, peaceful, and aligned with the heartbeat of the Earth.

So here's my story and my personal revelation regarding this key. The Shadow side of my Radiance Gene Key is Control. The second I read this word, my heart sank. It is the one thing that my husband complains about the most...my need to control. For instance, he has given up on spontaneously asking me out to dinner because he knows that I need to first approve the menu before I can commit - not very romantic, I know.

I always felt that it was a safety thing for me. I only feel 'safe' when I' in control of my situation. I feel like I'm not safe if I have to eat unhealthy food or go somewhere where I'm uncomfortably cold, or God-forbid, wet. I like to know exactly what I'm getting myself into before I take any new leaps.

So when I saw the word Control next to my Radiance Gene Key, I knew it had me pegged. But what I didn't realize was the ironic connection to my health. The Shadow frequency of this particular Gene Key can definitely undermine our health. And if there's one thing I'm obsessed with, it's trying to control my health. I go to ridiculous lengths to stay healthy. I don't even want to admit how much time or money I spend on this one task. It’s truly all-consuming.

But the sad truth and kick in the pants is that this Control is exactly what is working against me.

The endless need to control everything related to my health is precisely the thing that is hurting my health the most. Go figure. 🙄

If I had more faith that the Universe had my back, I would be able to eat a meal and not worry about the ingredients. I would be able to cut loose and enjoy my life more without always worrying that I'm not doing enough to promote good health.

I mean, how ironic is this? I would have never ever come to this conclusion if it wasn't for the Gene Keys. How could I ever even imagine that all the 'good' that I think I'm doing is actually causing me harm?

Change your Energy - Change your Life!

OK, moving on to the last Gene Key in this Activation Sequence, which is the Key of Purpose, which is all about deeply fulfills you. Before I get into my Shadow side of this Gene Key, which was another one that hit me pretty hard, I first want to share the synopsis of my Key.

Straight from the Gene Keys course, it tells me...

"You are here to be a deep resource of living wisdom for others. Your ultimate fulfilment lies in being of service to others. Your highest potential is to become a living embodiment of wisdom, which entails having to pass through some of life's deepest fears."

That just makes me smile because it's exactly what I aim to do with this silly little podcast.

So that was the good news, but of course, you can only enjoy your Gift after living through the pain of your Shadow, and my Shadow happens to be Inadequacy. Sigh.

If you have been following this podcast, you might remember me talking at great length about my struggles with self-worth. Well, here was just the living proof that these feelings weren't just "in my head." It's actually in my DNA, and it was encoded from my precise moment of conception and the time and place of birth. Basically, this was my luck of the draw and the cards that were dealt to me. Now I have to learn how to navigate through my life with this knowledge. But like I always say...

Knowledge is power!

I find it really incredible to read the descriptions for each of my Gene Keys. There is not one shred of doubt regarding the authenticity of this system when you see yourself reflected so very clearly. The description explained that...

"Inadequacy is the fear of not having enough or being worthy enough, rooted in uncertainty about the future. This fear halts the natural flow of life vitality in the body, creating mental or emotional disorders to compensate. Inadequacy often expresses as a controlling personality, attempting to maintain the illusion of safety through the enforcement of rules and expectations."

Well now, this completely explains my fear-based issues with Control. It all falls together so nicely into one package of what feels like a hot mess. But it gets even worse. The description continues to say...

"Some repress the fear of Inadequacy, living out a bland lifestyle as a means of creating a false sense of security. Others react against the fear through unscrupulous actions, acquiring knowledge and power over others in a quest to fill the aching feeling of emptiness."

I didn't resonate with most of that, but the "acquiring knowledge" certainly jumped out and smacked me in the face! It certainly hit home in a big way. So, where do I go from here? How many more degrees can I chase before I face my Shadow of Inadequacy and finally just sit there and marinate in it for a while? After all, attaining the Doctorate and a PhD didn't help make me feel any less inadequate. In fact, it may have even made me feel worse. Totally backfired.

So maybe it's time that I finally just let myself feel the pain, knowing that not only is it OK to feel the pain, but it's there in the pain where the gifts are revealed. And speaking of Gifts, the Gift of this particular Gene Key is Resourcefulness, which the course description tells me....

"... is a trust in the inherent reciprocity of life, knowing that one will be provided exactly what one needs at the right time. Resourcefulness is the courage to dive into the unknown and allow new solutions and opportunities to arise naturally for the situation at hand. It is the cultivation of a deep trust and physical relaxation that dissolves anxiety and fear. By embracing one's fears and uncertainties, an eternal inner reservoir of talents is revealed and put into effective service."

Yes please. I'm so ready for that. And if I have to endure the feeling of inadequacy a little longer in order to attain it, all I can say is, bring it. I'm ready.

Thanks so much for listening. I do hope you're enjoying my journey into self-discovery. If you're interested in taking your first steps to learn more about yourself, please consider booking a Quantum Discovery session with me. Together, we can reveal some of your hidden energetic blockages and see how they may be affecting your health.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Quantum Waves of Wellness. This is Dr. Paula Apro and this week I'm wondering if you are as annoyed as I am by the fact that your greatest life struggles continue to haunt you, no matter how hard you try to overcome them. What I have recently come to learn is that hidden within those challenges are powerful gifts just waiting to be revealed.

In this week's episode, I'm going to continue to share my personal exploration into the fascinating world of the Gene Keys — a journey that uncovers how our darkest Shadows are not curses, but invitations to awaken our true potential. Join me as I share my own personal discoveries, the surprising truths about duality, and how embracing both light and darkness can transform the way you view yourself and the world around you.

In my earlier introduction to the Gene Keys, I talked about how we all have personality challenges, also known as "Shadows." When I learned what mine were, it was not news to me. I am very well aware of my weak points. But it wasn't until some recent troubling times that the Gifts started to appear.

In my case, if it wasn't for my recent troubling times, I would not have even explored the Gene Keys education in the first place. So right off the bat, the challenge turned into a gift before I even knew anything about Shadows and Gifts. And the challenges were only challenges because I was living on the Shadow side of my personality.

Each Gene Key is made up of both a positive and a negative side. The positive is the Gift, and the negative is the Shadow. After all, everything in the Universe has a duality. You can't have night without day, up without down, light without darkness, good without evil, etc. We are no different. We have elements of both sides inside of us, and it's up to us to strive to live out our Gifts rather than spend too much time dwelling in our Shadows. The Shadow side describes what tends to occur when you lose touch with your true self.

But please remember, you can never have one without the other, and it is precisely the Shadows that bring us the Gifts. I fear this all sounds a bit vague at this point, so let me give you some more concrete examples from my own life.

The first path of the Gene Keys is called the Activation Sequence. Don't worry about the name right now. Just know that this first path highlights your four Prime Gifts, which are the cornerstones that make up YOU. They represent the themes and challenges of your life. Understanding these gifts and shadows helps you to understand your life’s purpose. It also helps to orient you physically into your body.

This pathway consists of four specific Gene Keys:

The 1st one relates to your Life's Work. This is the role/brand that most suits your creative expression and that allows you the full freedom to be yourself without compromise. Although this sounds like what you should be doing for a career, that's not exactly it. It's more about what makes you YOU.

The second key represents the single greatest challenge in your life, what you are here to learn. By learning to embrace this aspect of yourself, your life can gradually transform for the better.

These two keys relate to each other . . . What you are meant to do in this world, and how you’re going to go about doing it. These two Gene Keys are all about "doing" things in your life... what you do and how you do it.

As an example and for reference, the boiled-down version of my Life's Purpose is to "change energy." But remember, there is a Shadow side and a Gift side. On my Shadow side, I am easily "provoked" by all the energy around me, and it is very easy for me to provoke others unintentionally. In other words, the energy surrounding me can very easily change my energy (usually in a negative way), and I can very easily change the energy of others (both in good ways and bad ways). It's almost like I can't even control my power to change energy.

Now that I know that I'm on this Earth to change energy, I look to my second Gene Key to learn more, and that tells me that on the Shadow side, I will "Struggle" to fulfill my life's purpose. Struggle is my shadow, and I have to be honest with you . . . My career has definitely been a struggle for the past several years. It seems I work very hard and don't get very far. When this Shadow was revealed to me, it very much hit home.

So it was very important to learn the Gift that I'm supposed to receive from this Shadow of Struggle, and that is Perseverance. In other words, I should not quit, and I need to resolve to the fact that all the struggling is just meant to make me stronger. In order for me to complete my Life's Mission, I need to just keep on going, let go of the struggle of success, and just keep on swimming, keep on swimming, keep on swimming without the attachment to the results.

This made me think back to my Human Design business coaching when my coach explained that I'm destined for success, however, it will never come quickly for me. I will never be one of those 25-year-old life coaches on Instagram that strikes it rich quickly and effortlessly. That is just not who I'm destined to be. Although not exactly what any entrepreneur wants to hear, this gave me much peace and made me realize that that's what this podcast is all about. I'm not doing this for an expected outcome. I'm doing it because I love it and it's part of my life's purpose.

The next two Gene Keys are all about "being." As you progress along this Activation path, you move from "doing" to "being," and in between the two is your major breakthrough. I'm going to save the explanation of this for next time because the deeper you go into the Gene Keys, the deeper the wisdom becomes. Please know that this system is not at all easy to explain, and I'm very much just scratching the surface.

My hope is that I can pique your interest enough for you to explore this further on your own. Or maybe someday with me! I encourage you to get your own free Gene Keys report by visiting https://genekeys.com/free-profile/ . You will learn so much about yourself from just this free profile. It will only be the tip of the iceberg, but it's a great start. There is nothing more satisfying than learning what makes you tick.

I hope you enjoyed this week's episode, and if you did, please consider subscribing and sharing with a friend. Please stay tuned for my deeper dive into the Gene Keys next week, and as always, thanks so much for listening.

Hello and welcome to Quantum Waves of Wellness. This is Dr. Paula Apro and this week I'm going to share why it's so important to really get to know your true self. You might not want to believe this, but you were put on this Earth for a reason. Your soul has a purpose and a calling, and your health and happiness are directly linked to whether or not you're following your soul's mission.

So, do you have any idea who you really are or what your soul's mission is? I know these are really big questions that most people can spend an entire lifetime pondering. I try to keep these episodes under 10 minutes, so I'd better have a shortcut way to finding the answers to these big questions. And the good news is that I do! Today I want to tell you more about the Gene Keys.

In previous episodes, I mentioned my recent exposure and studies on this topic. Now, I want to remind you that I am not (yet) a skilled practitioner of the Gene Keys, but I want to share my experience in what I've personally learned so far because I was blown away when I discovered my soul's mission. But before I reveal what it is, I want to back up a little bit for those who don't know me personally. Let me give you just a tiny bit of background on myself.

I spent over 20 years in the field of marketing. My skills included graphic design, writing, photography, video production, web design, and digital marketing, among other things. For most of my life, I didn't even know what Energy Medicine was. In fact, I can't even explain exactly how or why I became just a little bit curious about it. I don't really know what motivated me to try Reiki for the first time, or to seek out a Pranic healer. I didn't even have anything in particular that I was trying to heal.

But yet something got me on this path nearly a decade ago, and whatever that something was, it created a very strong vortex that drew me to the next step... and then to the next step, and the next step . . . OK, you get the picture. Absolutely everything has fallen into place for me. Everything that I needed to learn suddenly appeared in my field of awareness just when I needed to learn it.

I never dreamt that I would completely change career in midlife, but I truly don't even feel like I consciously made that choice. It just sort of happened. And now that you have that background on my professional career, I would like to share with you what the Gene Keys has revealed as my "Life's Work."

This is directly from my Gene Keys course regarding my personal Life's Work, meaning "what I'm meant to do in this lifetime." Based on my exact time and place of birth, I am . . .

"... a living dynamo of creative, initiating energy. My true role in life is to catalyze stagnant situations and to shift blockages wherever I meet them. I am here to free myself from my own conditioning and to push others beyond themselves in this respect."

Another passage directly from the Gene Keys book regarding my Life Purpose says that my essence is ...

" … to touch other people's spirits in a way that helps them break out of their traps and into higher levels of freedom and energy."

The reason I found this so amazing is because I had to do a lot of thinking about my business and my services when I started this podcast only a few months ago. After weeks of deliberating on the one sentence that sums up all that I do, I settled on . . .

I help soulful seekers clear hidden energetic blockages and step into the vibrant, joyful, and healthy lives they are meant to live.

Of all the various services that I have been offering for the past decade, and believe me, there have been many, I managed to boil it all down to what I felt was the most important, and it just happened to be nearly exactly what my Gene Keys said was my Life's Work. Was that just a coincidence?

Was it a coincidence that I completely changed my career in epic ways and went on to pursue an advanced degree in my early 50s? I mean, who does that? It's crazy! But I couldn't help myself. It was as if I were being pulled or pushed by a force greater than me. I can't explain it, but one thing I know for sure is that...

I am clearly on the right path of fulfilling my soul's purpose. And I know this because all the answers that I need seem to appear just as I need them.

But here is where I should also explain something important. It's easy for us to very much identify with what we do for a living. When faced with the question, "Who am I?" many people would include their profession in the first sentence of their answer. For instance, somebody might say...."I'm an accountant and a mother of three who lives in Boulder, CO, and loves dancing."

Although the Gene Key that is called "Life's Work" might lead us to believe that's what it's all about, there is more to it. It's what makes you YOU. It's what you bring to this world just by your existence. I was recently in a Gene Keys retreat where the moderator explained it like this...She questioned, "What is the Life's Work of a tiger?" Everybody had inquisitive looks on their faces. What on Earth is the life's work of a tiger?? What a strange question to ask about the life's work of an animal.

And just when you thought that wasn't strange enough, she asked, "What is the Life's Work of a cherry tree?" Now everyone was even more stumped. She went on to say that tigers do "tiger things" and their life's work was simply to be a tiger and to bring their "tiger energy" to the world.

And a cherry tree is meant to gift the Earth by bringing it beautiful flowers and fruit. That's its only Life's Work, to be what it truly is. To live out the essence of a cherry tree. There is no question for the tree what it is meant to do.

Life can be so simple when you're not a human being.

But we are human beings, and we like to complicate things. So now I'm looking at my Life's Work Gene Key with new eyes. Yes, helping people transform their energy and release energetic blockages is what I'm naturally good at and what I probably should be doing for my work, but there is a bigger picture.

What I'm really meant to do in this lifetime is transform my own energy and release what may be several lifetimes of repressed emotional upsets that have caused blockages. This is a very important lesson for me because I'm so driven and focused on helping others. Every single thing I've learned about health and wellness, I immediately try to adopt and figure out how to share it with others. All of my energy and focus always goes outward to serving others, while I neglect my own needs. This really has to change.

I have finally realized that my soul's mission in this exact lifetime is to deal with and settle my own energy. And of course, by doing so I will naturally and inadvertently learn what it is I need to learn in order to best serve others. I am so grateful for the immense and deep wisdom provided by the Gene Keys. I have only yet scratched the surface, and I’ve already found the knowledge I gained so far life-changing.
