Discover the extraordinary journey of Dean Bottles, aka Omni, as he reveals his path from a young computer technician to a renowned global healer. Imagine healing a friend’s cancer with just a touch – an unforeseen event that awakened Dean to his incredible healing abilities. Join us as he shares how an unexpected whistleblowing incident became a turning point, compelling him to embrace his life's mission of healing and transformation.

We venture beyond the confines of traditional practices like Reiki, exploring the boundless potential of energy work through Dean's unique perspective. Dean sheds light on how energy can transcend distance, much like quantum entanglement, and how it can be adapted to meet individual needs without the necessity of attunement. His insights challenge common beliefs and offer a fresh take on authenticity in energy practices, questioning the need for symbols while respecting various methodologies.

Experience the intriguing world of morphogenetic fields inspired by Dr. Rupert Sheldrake’s research as Dean connects us to the 7D frequency. Our conversation delves into the limitless nature of spiritual work, emphasizing the importance of guiding students toward higher consciousness. Dean envisions a responsible expansion of the Omni practice, ensuring its principles are safeguarded while remaining accessible. Get ready for an enlightening dialogue that promises to inspire both healers and seekers on their spiritual journeys.


OMNI-Bioenergetics or

Omni for short.

Dean Bottles began his path as a healer, knowing I could heal by touch and my awareness was too limited. I paid for four levels of Reiki, but whenever I began, my Dragons would interrupt me or distract me, and I never began a single module. But I soon discovered through the assistance of a friend that I could send my energy to her easily, my restrictions were gone, and I immediately thought, who needs an attunement when I can already do it? My path began, and now, 3 years later, I have healed over 675 people globally and changed many lives for the betterment of all, over this time, I had no name or explanation for what I was doing, but the results speak volumes. So, I would call it a fluidity of my abilities combined with pure unconditional belief in my connection with my Higher self and with my source my modality has evolved into something simple and elegant in its delivery, and the healing potentials seem limitless at this stage.

I am connected with and utilize the human Morphogenetic field templates in what I do, and this allows me access to the complete DNA template of any individual human and a means to treat and repair any damage caused by time and environmental causes, I create healing for an individual in 7D consciousness and then package it complete and store it in the Read Only environment of the Morphogenetic field making it uneditable, I provide you the client with a Keyphrase which is your key to unlock and activate your unique individualized healing at your leisure. You say your Keyphrase out loud to call down your healing package; this is you giving consent to be healed, and over the next hour or two, your automated healing will take place.

I call it OMNI-Bioenergetics. Omni

means ALL, and Bioenergetics is all fields of energy within a body. So, All Body Healing.
