WELCOME!
LIFE FORCE. "No, I have absolutely no idea what water is," said the fish. "Why do you ask?"
(Eleanor Barrow cartoon in Quantum Touch by Richard Gordon)
This cartoon makes me laugh because I used to be like that fish. I had no idea that we live in an "ocean" of universal life force energy. That fish represents an over-whelming number of people. If we asked the average Christian if they believed in "Chi life force energy" they would likely answer "no." That is sad and ironic because Christians use severaldifferent terms for "life force energy" -- they just haven't realized it yet! Scripture uses a completely different set of vocabulary to describe the same 'foreign' terms that holistic health practitioners use!
I share a story in my book of being prompted by the spirit to call a past bishop's wife. I told her of our daughter's trials with severe depression and cutting and suicidal tendencies. She asked if I had only looked for help in the medical field. Startled, I answered, "Yes, of course. What else is there?"
"Oh, she said, "there is a whole other field of medicine." "Really?" I asked incredulously. "Yes, it is called Energy Medicine," she replied in a matter-of-fact way. She said it was an alternative but complementary treatment. (see Healing Arts, 2) My bishop's wife explained that the treatments she certified in involved re-patterning the light around a person, which I later found out had to do with life-force energy. I read dozens of books about this novel idea as fast as I could. One medical doctor wrote that, "healing involved a strengthening of the underlying integrity of an individual's human energies and their re-patterning in a healthier way" (Susan Wagner, M.D., A Doctor's Guide to Therapeutic Touch, 29).
We found by experience that techniques which cleared and balanced the subtle energy/unseen light enveloping the body were incredibly helpful for my daughter with hopelessness, severe anxiousness and mood swings. The insistence of the spirit led me to this seemingly unusual help. Initially, I wasn't sure of its compatibility with Christianity. Later on, I found prophets words comparing life-force energy to intelligence in the light of Christ.
That was incredibly validating! New vocabulary words I had learned such as "Chi"and "Prana" suddenly became Christian terms - no longer cloaked in foreign sounding names. Additionally, the Light of Christ was also compared by prophets to consciousness. That added another health-benefiting-avenue of study. Scholars said higher consciousness, such as forgiveness, could be used purposefully for improved health. I found many scriptures validating what emotions do to us physically. My family was blessed to learn by experience from the late Dr. Jan Graf (always a DC in my mind!) that forgiveness is indeed healing to the body! Doctors are talking about this now! Perhaps none as much as MK Strydom, MD. Search her name and link to her free book from this site.
My books and websites offer several answers to the question, "What else is there?" when seeking health and wellness. There are variables involved in healing that traditional medicine often does not consider. Doctors there generally do not practice from the perspective of Whole Person Health, unless holistically trained. I finally realized from one quote by like-minded authors Darla Isackson and Peggy McFarland that the Lord himself tells us repeatedly that He is the light (energy) and life (vital life force) of the world! Scripture talks about these overlooked areas and so do my books!
One area often overlooked is the scriptural term "chase darkness" (from Doctrine and Covenants section 50). Gaining an understanding of that subject alone was incredibly helpful for my daughter as well as hundreds of clients; it is not the end all answer, however. Going to the root of susceptibility still needs addressed. My family has been greatly blessed by other modalities and Information Medicine frequency devices. I am grateful there are energy healing practitioners and Functional Medicine doctors such as Naturopaths and Osteopathic Doctors that seek out the root cause of issues instead of just offering symptom relief.
After writing my first 2 books, I put the best helps I found for my daughter and clients on this website under the tab “Mental First Aid.” I learned from my daughter’s relapse after the births of each of her two children about the loss of minerals… that go “out with the placenta” and of the gut as the "second brain." It was a huge blessing to learn about EMP Lightning formulated specifically for brain and nervous system health. I do not sell this product but feel compelled to share it with others and how it was born of inspiration. Lightning has IMMENSELY helped family members and clients across the board with brain issues. Read about the Stephan family's incredible story behind this formula on a post HERE.
It has been my experience that work in the field of Energy Medicine can help people draw nearer to Christ. Scripture says the Savior took upon Himself not only our sins, but also our illnesses and heartaches... all mortal bitterness. That includes our unresolved emotions which are heavily tied to our health. I am a witness that the Savior can swallow up our burdens in His love. This work is very Christ-centered when credit is given where credit is due. My learning journey has taught me how to better apply Jesus Christ's atonement in my life. Jesus Christ is the source of all healing, the Light (energy) and Life (vital life force) of the world! "For I am the Lord that healeth thee."
It has been my experience that helping people in the healing arts is to help them forgive the past and bring light to dark places. I have been blessed to learn about women and priesthood power and all the words that tie in to faith, such as virtue. I have learned how generational clearing relates to that and is spoken of over and over in Isaiah. There is much scriptural backing for principles used in this work!
I am so excited that MK Strydom, a medical doctor in South Africa teaches the same basic principles that I have learned. She teaches how powerfully connected our thoughts are to health and healing. She teaches to forgive in order to heal. She teaches to cast out dark spirits and to clear generational issues for our ancestors (just like D&C 98:45-48 teaches!). Her very thick book, Healing Begins with Sanctification of the Heart is available free online as a PDF! She never once uses the term "energy" because she uses Biblical terms instead. I'm so grateful that MK Styrdom M.D.'s book and work is a second witness to the healing principles I have learned in Energy Medicine.
Studying the field of Energy Medicine has helped me to understand deeper meaning of scripture verses. Some verses which I previously thought were merely symbolic I now understand as reality. The more I learn about energy medicine, the more I learn that faith is a principle of power. It has been my experience that Christ centered integrative health modalities teach a person they can ask in faith for much more than they previously thought. This can be a spiritual creation work. Some forms of energy work could be called spiritual re-patterning. Change must occur first on the spiritual level before it manifests on the worldly plane. I have observed since 2004 as a facilitator of Healing Arts that doing emotional release work can be a very spiritual process which fosters the realization about spiritual gifts or the development of them. There are also areas to avoid altogether! Run away from facilitators who would 'predict' your future or cross any other lines God warns about. Such is NOT a part of energy healing. My books contain scriptural and apostolic warnings for facilitators since we are to be 'vigilant for God's word' (Isaiah 66). Ethics
[What used to be called Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) by the National Institutes of Health is now studied by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). Congress changed out the descriptive term “alternative” from their name saying it no longer fit. It is exciting that some energy healing techniques are being used in forward thinking hospitals such as Yale, Duke University, John Hopkins the Mayo Clinic and many others.]
With the arrival in 2020 of my Healy device from Germany and especially in 2022 of my iTeraCare device from Malaysia, I continue to learn that our body's ability to heal is greater than we've been led to believe. Truly, cutting edge science has discovered "we now know that the body heals through frequency, vibration and resonance and it's communicated through light." (William Tiller, PhD) This light the world calls 'Chi' is intelligence in the light of Christ! It is Jesus Christ's light that is the life force energy keeping us alive, "lending us breath" (Mosiah 2:21) being the universal recording mechanism and governing power of more than health.
Open your heart to new possibilities. There are new and exciting options that aid in health and wellness. My family is extremely blessed because we were led to these integrative methods! Explore my website to learn more. The search box is a most helpful tool on here. I highly recommend checking out my first book whether you are a beginner or a facilitator. It really opens eyes as to how much consciousness is tied to health. It opens up eyes about life force energy. You’ll see that Chi and chakras are for Christians!
Happy reading!

The Amazing Stephan Family Story Continues
My name is Tony
Stephan, and this is the story of how my family overcame mental
illness, after devastating loss. In 1994 I had been married to my beloved wife
Debbie for 23 years. During that time, we lost her father to suicide. He had struggled with severe depression, and
in 1978, fatally overdosed on medications to escape his suffering. Then,
sixteen years later, my beloved wife Debbie succumbed to the same fate . .
. suicide.
Debbie had been diagnosed with Bipolar Affective Disorder 1 with Rapid Cycling.
One day she simply ended it. The pain was unbearable. It was
like somebody took a chalkboard eraser and wiped out the most precious part of
my life.
It got worse. My son Joseph, fifteen years old, and his older sister,
Autumn, were diagnosed
with the same illness. Joseph was getting more
violent and dangerous. He was on 750 to 900 milligrams of Lithium or
Carbolith per day, and he was just a lost soul.
There was
one bright spot in this period, as I was blessed with a wonderful and
supportive new wife, Barbara. Barbara sought assistance for Joseph from a
noted psychiatrist. We went and met, praying for answers and hope.
Instead the Doctor became upset with me and asked Barbara to take Joseph
out in the waiting room. When the door closed it was like a shotgun going
off in my face. This noted psychiatrist said, "Mr. Stephan you need
a reality check. Don't you see it? What you see is what you've got.
He's not going to get better."
My daughter, Autumn, was in and out of the psychiatric ward constantly.
Drugs didn't work. Autumn was on five psychiatric med: Haldol,
Rivotril, Epival, Ativan and Cogentin; and she was out of control: suicidal one
minute, explosive the next - unable to care for herself... or her family.
WAS THERE
REALLY AN ANSWER OUT THERE?
I started to pray. I started to fast.
I started to search. I started to ask everyone, "Do you know
anything about bipolar?" There
just had to be an answer... somewhere!
One day it came. I was talking to
a friend I was working with, and telling him about how bad it was in our family
with Joseph's and Autumn's illnesses. He said that he didn't understand
mental conditions, but he explained to me that he had spent twenty years in the
agricultural industry. He said, "You know, I looked after hundreds
of thousands of animals, and we used to see this in the hog pens... these
animals would have this disorder, sometimes, called Ear-and Tail-Biting
Syndrome. These animals would often become aggressive and
hyper-irritable." My thoughts turned to Joseph and his violent
rages.
As my friend
told me how the animals become extremely irritable and enraged, and about the
explosive behavior, he said, "You know, we learned very quickly from the
agricultural literature, the scientific literature, that you could nutrate away the disorder with good
nutrition." In that instant I had an epiphany. A burden was
lifted and a sense of peace and light enveloped by mind. I knew that God
has just given me the answer: Nutrition!
On January 17, 1996, almost two years to the day that my wife had committed
suicide, we moved forward and starting loading micronutrients into Joseph.
Within thirty days, my son no longer exhibited any symptoms whatsoever
of bipolar disorder. It was gone! I remember sitting on the couch
with him after six weeks and him saying to me, "Dad! Dad! ... Where was I?
What happened to me? Why was I so angry? Why was I so
violent?" And I said, "Joe, it doesn't matter. That was another
day. It wasn't you. It was the disorder." There wasn't
anything that we could do alone to correct the disorder; but the
answer came, and I've never looked back -- and neither has Joseph.
My daughter
Autumn was next. Her husband had to work a graveyard shift so he dropped
Autumn off at our home for a week as she could not be left alone. It was
then that I placed her on the same nutrient program as Joseph. Within
a few days she became calm... with dramatically fewer mood swings.
She was able to care for herself and her young son.
Within 45
days she was clear of all of her five medications. Both Autumn and Joseph
have been well (as of 2013) for over eighteen years. Autumn has written a best
seller titled, A Promise of Hope, published
in 2007 by Harper Collins and available on Amazon.com.
When Autumn
and Joseph were made well, many people in the community started to come for
help with their loved ones. After they tried the program and experienced
the same results as my children, we started working with university researchers
like world-renowned behavioral research scientist from the University of
Calgary, Dr. Bonnie J. Kaplan. Dr. Kaplan's research was published in the
Journal of Clinical Psychiatry in 2001, which is the largest psychiatric
journal in the world. Soon there were other research studies and
publications. The University of Calgary, Harvard University, Ohio State
University - Department of Psychiatry, The University of Canterbury, New
Zealand, and many others. There are now researchers [from 4 countries], 16
Universities and 34 medical Journal publications who have studied its
effects on disorders like:

Turn a ‘Mess’ into a Message with the "Praise Principle”
“The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. Every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. He cried out [toward heaven],’ How could you do this to me?'
“Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching the island! It had come to rescue him! 'How did you know I was here?' asked the weary man of his rescuers. 'We saw your smoke signal,' they replied.
The Moral of This Story: It's easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of our pain and suffering. Remember that the next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground. It just may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of God.” (I wish I knew the author to credit them.)
That
‘islander’ had a paradigm shift about his little hut on fire. My feelings have also changed concerning two children’s chronic illnesses and
other trials in my life. At first, I felt like my ill daughter was a victim of poor genetics. I
even wondered at times if we were somehow forgotten by God. When one of
my children was a victim of a violent crime, I really went down into despair.
Back then, I did not
realize fully that the Atonement of Jesus Christ could reach out and bless my tender heart at
that moment and the next day, and the next. Studying spiritual re-patterning, or energy healing has shown me that the atonement of Christ can help
mend broken hearts as well as other emotions felt in suffering life's difficulties.
mend broken hearts as well as other emotions felt in suffering life's difficulties.
“Some church
members feel weighed down with discouragement about the circumstances of their
personal lives, even when they are making sustained and admirable efforts,”
said Elder Hafen. “Frequently, these feelings of self-disappointment come
not from wrongdoing, but from stresses for which they may not be fully to
blame. The atonement of Jesus Christ applies to all of life. The
Savior’s atonement is thus portrayed as the healing power not only for sin, but
also for carelessness, inadequacy, and all mortal bitterness. The
Atonement is not just for sinners.” (Beauty for Ashes, Ensign, Apr 1997,
39) Since depression filled days
of despair years ago, I have learned a variety of ways to access healing power from the Atonement. One method called the “Praise Principle” involves perspective, gratitude,
prayer and praise.
Elder
Maxwell encourages us to see our challenges and to pray with an eternal
perspective. “If God chooses to teach us the things we most need to learn
because he loves us, and if he seeks to tame our souls and gentle us in the way
we most need to be tamed and most need to be gentled, it follows that he will
customize the challenges he gives us and individualize them so that we will be
prepared for life in a better world… We must pray, therefore, not that things
be taken from us, but that God's will be accomplished through us. What,
therefore, may seem now to be mere unconnected pieces of tile will someday,
when we look back, take form and pattern, and we will realize that God was
making a mosaic. For there is in each of our lives this kind of divine design,
this pattern, this purpose that is in the process of becoming, which is
continually before the Lord but which for us, looking forward, is sometimes
perplexing…. “(But For a Small Moment”, Sep 1 1974, BYU Fireside, emphasis
added)
Having the right perspective can calm our hearts. M. Catherine Thomas, a BYU professor and one of my favorite authors explains, "It is how we interpret what is happening to us that either liberates us or imprisons us. If we interpret what is happening as something that should not be happening, and we can’t change it, then we will suffer. If we can accept that which-cannot-be-changed as a reflection of what God would have unfold, then we can have peace.” (Light in the Wilderness, 23)
In addition to perspective, gratitude can help bring us peace. Focusing on what is going right, instead of dwelling on struggles is health advice according to mind-body medicine and scripture. “President Kimball told of giving a woman a priesthood blessing and telling her that she would be healed of a malady. A few weeks later, the woman came back, angry that she hadn’t yet been healed. President Kimball responded: ‘Now I understand why you have not been blessed. You must be patient, do your part, and express gratitude for the smallest improvement noted.’ She repented, did as he counseled and was eventually healed. We should express constant gratitude for even the smallest increment of blessing.” (Mary Jane Woolger, “What I Have Learned about Mighty Prayer,” Ensign, Dec. 2006, 54)
Having the right perspective can calm our hearts. M. Catherine Thomas, a BYU professor and one of my favorite authors explains, "It is how we interpret what is happening to us that either liberates us or imprisons us. If we interpret what is happening as something that should not be happening, and we can’t change it, then we will suffer. If we can accept that which-cannot-be-changed as a reflection of what God would have unfold, then we can have peace.” (Light in the Wilderness, 23)

I was deeply
affected by Elder Dallin H. Oak’s talk “Give Thanks in All Things” where he
said, “The revelations, for which we are grateful, show that we should even
give thanks for our afflictions because they turn our hearts to God and give us
opportunities to prepare for what God would have us become.” (Ensign, May 2003)
Paul says, ”For my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly,
therefore, will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest
upon me. Therefore, I take pleasures in infirmities, in reproaches, in
necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am
weak, then am I strong.” (2 Cor. 12: 9-10). It was difficult at
first to even mouth words of thanks for heavy burdens, but I started thanking
anyhow. In the beginning, I said the words but only half-heartedly believed
them. It felt like “chewing on concrete.” I was missing part of the praise principle process that I use now.
James Cox teaches a recorded course on
learning the Savior’s thought patterns and he explains the previous scripture in 2 Corinthians well. “As one expands his capacity to feel sorrow, he is also expanding his
capacity to feel joy, and his capacity to feel God’s perfect love. As one
takes this sorrow unto the spiritual word and is willing to go through it out
of the love he feels for the Savior and Heavenly Father, the healing begins. .
. . By thanking Heavenly Father for the adversity [it] changes our focus from
the temporal [world.]… With a spiritual focus the Lord will ask if we are
willing to go through this for Him. As we think of what the Savior went
through for our sins, it helps us to be willing to go through [adversity] for
Him. As we endure the pain and suffering for Him, we are transferring the
pain to the spiritual world where the powers of heaven will help us to endure
and overcome.” (James Cox, Becoming Spiritually Centered 76,79) Elder
Maxwell said it may be true (in some way we don’t understand) that the cavity
which suffering carves into our souls will one day also be our receptacle for
joy. (see “But For a Small Moment”, Sep 1 1974, BYU Fireside)
Marion G.
Romney points out that God told the pioneers to praise Him when they were
suffering the greatest! This is advice to us, too, though hard
doctrine, until one has experienced its blessings. I am amazed by what heroes
in the scriptures do when it seems ‘huts’ have gone up in flames or under in
floods. They do things that would NOT come naturally without focusing on
the Savior. James 1:2 admonishes, “Count it all joy when ye fall into
many afflictions.” As Enoch saw the flood victims of Noah’s day he had
bitterness of soul and said “I will refuse to be comforted.” The Lord’s
advice to him at that point in time is revealing. It applies today. The
Lord said to Enoch: “Lift up your heart, and be glad: and look.” Then He showed
Enoch Christ’s atonement.
There are
other examples in the scriptures. Paul and Silas were thrown into prison and
locked up in chains. At midnight they weren’t looking for pity, they were
singing praises to God - and the prison doors opened. Nephi was tied up
on a ship by his own brothers for days until his wrists and ankles were very
swollen. The account says, “I did look unto my God and I did praise him all the
day long; and I did not murmur against the Lord because of mine afflictions.”
(1 Nephi 18:16) The converted Lamanites praised God in the very act of
perishing under the sword. (Alma 24:23) I ask, is there a pattern here?! I
aspire to live more often in the attitude of forgiveness, gratitude and praise.
President
Brigham Young taught, “Some hold grudges for a lifetime, unaware that
courageously forgiving those who have wronged us is wholesome and therapeutic….
The Savior has offered to all of us a precious peace through his atonement, but
this can come only as we are willing to cast out negative feelings of anger,
spite, or revenge.” (Discourses of Brigham Young, ed John A. Widtsoe, (1954),
345. quoted in Ensign, April 2007,
68,69) I teach my clients that it is one thing to forgive past trials, but
quite another to express gratitude for going through the most difficult times
we have ever had. I believe that whenever God gives us a challenge, He also has a
gift for us in its hands. It is up to us to find the silver lining, the precious lessons, in the
storms of our lives.
The Holy
Ghost prompted me to take a class about praise from Judy Dunston of Saratoga
Springs, UT. Judy’s personal example of
applying the Praise principle in various challenging times with her children
were inspiring. She teaches 4 practical
steps that enable a person to praise in all things. Judy gave me permission
to share these in my book Healing Arts-A Gift from God.
The principles she teaches are “1. Release judgment of what is going on
currently. 2. See it as perfect for your learning. 3. Praise God
for the event just as it is. 4. Turn this burden over to the Savior with
gratitude for the learning.” I feel this
is similar to a modern day apostle telling us,
“The most profound relief waits to be claimed: our afflictions can be ‘swallowed
up in the joy of Christ.’ Alma 31:38.” (Neal A. Maxwell, "If Thou Endure It Well," 3) I could finally see the wisdom in even our
worst trials by praising God for them. Beyond forgiving the past, and
being grateful for lessons we learned, I
believe it is exhibiting even higher consciousness to praise God for those heart wrenching
experiences. Praising God in all things is a very high level of consciousness. (see David Hawkins, Power Vs. Force which has a chart titled "The Map of Consciousness.")
Learning to better
and more quickly live the Praise Principle over the last few years has given me
hope when I felt hope was gone. It has saved me in very scary moments –
the ones that take your breath (and life force/light of Christ/breath of life)
away. At those times we can pray
in faith, giving gratitude for the hard lesson upon us, and give our burden to
the Savior. I have asked the Lord to take my burdens with gratitude and
praise for the priceless learning I trust that I will gain with time. I
learned that in those moments that challenge us most, we can rely on this principle to give us hope
again.
My friend,
Kathy Truman, took Cliff and Judy Dunston’s “Praise Principles” class at the
2013 LDS Holistic Living Conference. Kathy wrote down her difficult life
experiences and then turned them around, giving praise to the Lord for them. I
was deeply touched by reading the harsh life experiences she had turned into
expressions of gratitude. I felt
inspired by her example. Being a type 2 (4) (from Carol Tuttle’s It’s Just My
Nature), I made a template of how my friend Kathy did that. Before I share that,
let me introduce you to someone else I know. First, the ‘bad’ news, and then
the good news.
This woman
had a daughter who was riddled with excessive anxiety, chronic depression and a
diagnosis of mental illness. Her daughter was cutting and repeatedly
suicidal. For years there were 911 phone calls, police in her home, and trips
to the emergency room. The mother tried to protect her other children
from the worst chaos. However, the turmoil threatened to tear her family
apart. Another teenage daughter moved
out of the home for a time in order to bear threats to safety and the roller coaster
of emotional outbreaks. Adding stress, particularly to the father, was the
family’s health insurance which refused to pay a dime toward any of the ill daughter’s
expensive hospitalizations,
As if the
illness wasn’t enough, the ill teen was also the victim of a violent crime and
suffered post traumatic stress from the abuse afterward.
Years later,
one of her sons suddenly became ill and doctors couldn’t figure out what was
wrong. An Energy Medicine machine found Lyme frequencies in his body, but
doctors scoffed and said chronic Lyme didn’t exist and that such infections were not
obtained in the state of Utah. The
family had trouble finding a doctor willing to test for Lyme disease. A
clinical diagnosis was made and blood tests showed the co-infection
Mycoplasma. For all the effort, the son still suffered in a recliner for
over half a year without enough energy to even play a video game.
This nearly
adult son finally admitted he had been exposed to something traumatic in grade
school. The mother faced this sudden news and admitted addiction along
with pained wonder at how the depth of emotional abuse he endured had escaped her observation.
This son moved out and sought relief by experimenting with substance abuse
which led to hospitalization.
The woman’s
husband, the only breadwinner for the family, suddenly lost his job 3 times.
Not 1
of the woman’s 3 sons served a mission which was a heavy burden on her mother
heart. One of her
adult children was surrounded by an anti-Mormon environment from co-workers and
left the religion that was so dear to her behind.
After 6
years of being off psychiatric meds, her daughter’s bipolar pattern resurfaced
as post partum psychosis after childbirth. The adversary worked hard to
convince this woman that such a setback was reason enough not to publish her
stories sharing the integrative help they had found so beneficial for
bipolar and other issues all those years previous.
Some people
wondered if this woman was into something 'evil' because of her work in
integrative health. Her mentor in energy healing was falsely accused of
the same type of things and called into her ecclesiastical leaders offices for
investigation. Other like minded friends who also experienced these kinds
of complaints had experiences that did not always end as nicely as her mentor’s experience had with
profuse apologies and heartfelt expressions of gratitude for dedicated,
Christlike service.
This person
is me. The reason I shared the bad news is to testify of the miracle of
God’s hand in my little family’s life and of “THE good news” of the Savior,
Jesus Christ. I am a witness of His love. I believe God is endeavoring to
teach me that I can choose to experience and feel gratitude and even praise in
all things.
A. Praise
God that I had a daughter with bipolar because it brought me to my knees,
seeking answers and fasting often to learn truth. I found out that God
truly does know and love His children individually for answers came one line at
a time to help that daughter. I praise God for this illness for it taught
me that forgiveness is a healing principle that affects bodies physically and
that we could use forgiveness purposefully for that intent. I praise God for experiencing bipolar in our
home because it led us to energy healing which later taught me how to
assist in relieving the emotional pain of my family and others. Unconventional
answers in this field of medicine that surfaced to help one daughter,
eventually blessed hundreds of other people’s lives! Praise God I learned
to have gratitude in all things because of this illness. Praise God for bipolar
because it opened my eyes to the reality of opposition in all things: God’s light was real and so was darkness from
the adversary. Praise God I learned how
powerful men and women can be against this darkness. I praise God for very
difficult times that taught me by experience that faith is a mighty power! I am grateful this illness taught me I could help my daughter and others with
spiritual re-patterning at a distance. Today this brings days of extreme joy helping others
that I would have otherwise missed.
B. Praise God two of my children experienced
abuse because it taught us deeply of the ability of Jesus Christ’s
atonement to remove personal suffering and trapped trauma. Praise the
Lord that we learned the power of having an eye of faith because of these
trials. I learned that what I initially thought would be a useless process -- that of ‘mere’ imagery –- was actually very powerful. The imagery used was of being in a garden
with the Savior and giving Him all of my deep grief, heartache and pain. That imagery work, in reality, brought waves of pulsing color and peaceful, forgiving feelings
that have stayed with me ever since. Praise God that now I can testify
that Christ truly does swallow up our sorrows in His love. Praise God for
abuse because through it we learned the atonement is for far more than just sins
alone! The atonement offers us ongoing rescue and respite from unwanted emotions, memories, feelings and
thoughts. Because of trials, I have some beginning understandings of how my Savior’s light – the Light of Christ – is allowed more brightly in our lives. I've been so blessed by studying the integrative field of energy healing! It has educated me on the need to release trapped trauma and unresolved emotions from our bodies and differing methods on how to go about doing that. I am grateful that this complementary medicine also teaches a person to prevent the need for future "emotional release" by living at a high level of consciousness, so as to avoid creating similar patterns again.
C. Praise
God my son dealt with Lyme disease because it taught us about even deeper
levels of healing. It taught us to be
grateful for energy medicine machines such as ASYRA which immediately found the frequency
of Lyme in my son’s body when traditional medicine continued to be mystified. Praise God for Lyme because it taught us of
the power of Constitutional Homeopathy and Radionics to rid his body of toxins
and pathogens. We are grateful for another platform to share the marvelous blessings of
energy medicine with others. Lyme taught us to express praise in the midst of hard
things and shorten the time it took to see the Lord’s hand in our lives. This afforded us “aha” moments earlier on in
trials. We praise the Lord for illnesses
that better prepare us to meet Him again. Elder Hales said, “Sometimes we don’t
understand death, illness, mental and physical disabilities, personal
tragedies, war and other conflict. Some of them are a necessary part of
our mortal probation. Others, as Enoch foresaw, are part of the
preparation for the Savior’s Second Coming.” (Ensign, May 2003 p 18) I
feel there is so much truth in that apostolic statement that I can trust it fully
concerning mystifying illnesses like Lyme Disease and brain disorders labeled mental illness that afflict ever younger ages.
D.
Praise God for issues with addiction for it taught my son to turn to the Savior
in all things. I am grateful I had the learning experience of praying to experience mighty faith like Alma the Elder who prayed in faith for his son to be "brought to a knowledge of the truth." Having this experience taught me love versus judgment
and increased empathy and humility. Praise
God for the struggles of my children that taught me there is no disgrace in
having suffered, in having been labeled, in having been addicted or heartbroken
or sorrowful or misjudged. We are not our ‘stories.’ We are beloved children of
the most High who are learning important lessons along our way. Praise God for
addiction issues because I learned on a deeper level the power of spiritual
gifts and a deeper level of trust in spiritual promptings and the wisdom of
heeding them immediately. I am grateful
this trial taught me about Maurice Harker’s book and work teaching Christ
centered addiction prevention and recovery.
Like my book, he teaches of the adversary’s involvement in modern day issues. Praise
God I have learned that I allow the Savior’s love and light in a greater or
lesser degree inside and around me by the words I speak and allow to repeat in my mind. What a blessing to have learned that when mindful and expressing
higher consciousness, I feel a real difference in my body.
E. Praise
God we lost our sole source of income repeatedly and had to live off of our
food storage and savings more than once because it reinforced the importance of
following the living prophet’s counsel to stay out of debt and store food and
supplies to be prepared for the future. We are grateful to be able to
live peacefully in troubled times and aspire to be the calm in the eye of the
storm, even while chaos swirls all around.
F. Praise
God my sons didn’t or couldn’t go on missions because it taught me to desire a
new heart. It taught me not to judge others or their challenges. Praise be
to God for allowing me these priceless learning lessons – for I understand now that we are more than our experiences. I praise the Lord for this opportunity to learn sensitivity and that there are all kinds of
missions being served by valiant young people who might not wear outward name tags. Other servants of the Lord are tagged on the 'inside' by
hearts written on by the spirit. Their missions are as diverse as their faces. Some have known the
darkness and yet choose to stand and be warriors for Jesus Christ. Praise God that difficult parenting moments have helped me to develop a deep, abiding faith in God and trust in His plans and His timing, and a knowledge that my children have a powerful Savior who is more powerful than their problems and weaknesses.
G. Praise
God one of my sons left the church because it affords me opportunities for
spiritual growth. I've come to understand that my children’s choices do
not reflect my ability as a parent, but agency. Praise God I am allowing
my children their agency and putting my trust in the Savior for I have a covenant relationship with Him. God IS LOVE – and He loves in all things!
He ALLOWS for agency and I can too while continuing to love my wayward son.
Praise God for this opportunity to learn to extend invitations in love and to
learn of love’s greater power than emotions tied more closely to force. Praise God for another chance to use the
Praise Principle, to rely on the Savior to take this burden, and to envision
the power of God working in my family. Praise
God for trials which bring practice in assurance and confidence to trust in God
– now, and during future prophesied calamities that will precede our Savior
Jesus Christ’s return to this earth as King of Kings!
H. Praise
God my daughter experienced a bipolar pattern again with postpartum
psychosis after giving birth for it
provided opportunities to be taught other paradigm shifting solutions for mental illness. We learned of another LDS family’s amazing, God-given insight into the brain, mental illness and also addictions! Praise God my daughter thought she could go without this other family's supplement (Empowerplus) for a time - for her choice taught all of us how powerful that inspired micronutrient for brain health really is. I praise God for a driving need to understand more about the physical body level, Gut and Psychology Syndrome, pro-biotics, and minerals connection to Chi. I'm grateful we learned how having confidence in both God and ourselves can affect the
physical level through Vibrational Medicine and Radionics for I had
marginalized energy work’s power to affect people physically and had mostly concentrated
on its mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits.
I.
Praise God that my mentor was hauled in to her Stake Presidents office for it
stirred in me a great desire to seek and search in depth for truths regarding
forms of healing arts. Without my mentor undergoing this extremely hard time,
I may not have had the motivation to learn that there are examples of all sorts
of alternative healing methods in the Bible and validation for them in modern
scripture and the words of prophets. Praise God that I know today because
of trials, of the healing arts – of energy healing and emotional release,
hands-on-healing, long-distance healing, vibrational healing and generational
healing… I think of all the families who lives would not have been
blessed by energy work and phone sessions without my mentor’s sacrifice.
Praise God her example has blessed a multitude of people’s lives today! In
the end her trial brought more clarity!
I know the
bitterness of life can be perceived this way for each of us through the
marvelous Atonement of our Savior! Praising God in all things opens effectual
doors to miracles in our lives. I have experienced them. Through the Atonement
we can be made whole.
“Often the deep valleys of our present will be
understood only by looking back on them from the mountains of our future
experience. Often we can’t see the Lord’s hand in our lives until long after
trials have passed. Often the most difficult times of our lives are essential
building blocks that form the foundation of our character and pave the way to
future opportunity, understanding, and happiness.” (Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf,
“Continue in Patience," Ensign , May, 2010, 58) I have lived
that and have also experienced understanding the blessings of trials in their midst by living the Praise Principle. Past unhappiness can reap future joys. I experience joy now because of the trials I
went through.
I have had wonderful
wounds to make me the person I am today. I aspire to praise the Lord for each
one of them. Jesus Christ’s atonement offers incredible hope in our day to day
lives. The Lord has already felt our
pain and is willing to carry our burdens. I am blessed by using the praise
principle’s practical steps to access the Savior’s rescue of me. I am grateful to have learned that my little
hut “catching fire” really can be a signal that summons the grace of God. I
testify of the miracles of God!
Only the Messiah can turn a Mess into a
Message, A Test into a Testimony, A Victim into Victorious. Praise
Him!

Incredible Help for Bipolar, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, OCD,.. and other Brain Disorders
Let me tell you about what I learned after I wrote my book, Healing Arts- A Gift from God. I read a remarkable book about another daughter who had bipolar. It reminded me at times of our own experiences. That book is a great gift to the world! In it Autumn tells about her dedicated father in Canada who found a radically different approach to bipolar THAT WORKED! Autumn didn't believe it could work at first . . . but it did because the Lord was behind its inception. God's fingerprints are all over this family's incredible story that includes fasting and prayer.
"A Promise of Hope is the story of Autumn's flight from madness to wellness and an astonishing scientific account of a treatment that has also helped thousands of others. It is a powerful call for a new understanding of mental illness, its causes and its treatments. ©2007 Autumn Stringham; (P)2007 HarperCollins Publishers Ltd.
"A Promise of Hope is the story of Autumn's flight from madness to wellness and an astonishing scientific account of a treatment that has also helped thousands of others. It is a powerful call for a new understanding of mental illness, its causes and its treatments. ©2007 Autumn Stringham; (P)2007 HarperCollins Publishers Ltd.
The formulation produced by Autumn's father and the man he was led to, David Hardy, has blessed over 90,000 people with a wide variety of mood disorders! My daughter is one of them. She had problems beyond post partum depression after the birth of each of her children.
My daughter used the same high dose vitamins and balanced minerals treatment as Autumn, called EMPowerplus.
The very first week on this formula my daughter experienced much less anxiety. Then she noticed she had way less negative intrusive thoughts. Under her doctor's care she was able to significantly lower her psychiatric medications, replacing them with Empowerplus. My daughter is thrilled to be doing something natural and without any of the prescriptions' side effects. My son has also been able to largely replace a prescription for sleep with Empowerplus. Both of my adult children are using Empowerplus Advanced.
My clients report: better sleep, much less anxiousness, less negative intrusive thoughts, and a whole lot less mind racing. They feel much less "down", far more joy - and even energy. This proper ratio of high dose vitamins and minerals certainly helped my daughter recover from postpartum depression (along with the emotional release work she did in energy healing).
EMPowerplus has been proven effective in usage and clinical research for depression, stress, ADHD, Anxiety, PTSD, Autism, Bipolar disorder, OCD, Rage, Brain Injury, Trauma, ODD, Addictive Behaviors, and early Alzheimer's and Dementia.
I sell this product here:
Harvard Psychiatrist Charles Popper, M.D. wrote in the afterword to Autumn Stringam’s book, A Promise of Hope:
“Autumn’s enthusiasm for her treatment is justified. By all accounts [it] changed her life more profoundly than conventional medications could. The success in her case is undeniable. And there are thousands more like her.. . . Controlled scientific studies are in the works [and] the initial findings are particularly challenging to physicians because they do not fit easily into current psychiatric knowledge or theory on bipolar disorder. For patients and physicians alike, it would be a mistake to off-handedly dismiss it.Charles Popper, M.D. Harvard Medical School Aug. 2007
I'm convinced that humble father, Tony Stephan, discovering a connection between micro-nutrient deficiency and mental health was much more than luck. In her book, Autumn wrote of her father speaking these words:
“We have won a new respect for the mentally ill. They are no longer hopeless if they find Truehope. They are no longer stigmatized if they go on to live a life like the one you are living now. . . . Liberty, Autumn, we won liberty for the captives! Are you trapped anymore? No. Are you afraid anymore? No."
[Then Autumn recounts] I can hear him pounding his steering wheel the way he used to thump the pulpit, before Mom died, before his life was changed forever. And it brings tears to my eyes. “We won a battle that we never even wanted to fight, and there has been a power behind this that goes way beyond our abilities... We won before the fight even started because this victory isn’t mine and it isn’t David’s. It’s an answer to prayer, Autumn. It’s a miracle. It’s a miracle. We have won the right for you to choose to be well, to help as many people as you want to, to help them find their way out of the darkness of mental illness. Autumn, Bonnie Kaplan said it years ago, and I believe it. This may be the most significant breakthrough in mental health since the beginning of time.” (Autumn Stringam, A Promise of Hope, 270)
Those words bring tears to my eyes, too. This is a breakthrough of epic proportion! The above words give me hope that someday, with the research getting to a mainstream audience, the stigma associated with so-called mental issues can vanish. This feeling is marked by Dr. Popper's words, "Make no mistake, this is an historically significant piece of work that is being done."
"Changes the way psychiatry will be practiced." Dr. Bonnie Kaplan (PhD University of Calgary, Pediatrics)
A psychiatrist, Julia Rucklidge, tells it like it is in this video:
God bless Tony Stephan's children! His wife did not die in vain! I count myself extremely blessed to benefit from their story, learning and sacrifices. My family's health is improving because of them and my heart is filled with gratitude.I feel it an honor to introduce this noble family's story to others. I am likewise grateful for David Hardy and his family.
Despite humble beginnings, this formula has netted over 30 medical journal publications and studies by 23 universities in 4 countries. Over 5000 doctors are promoting this product! Third party research continues (see www.micronutrientsupport.com).
There is hope! Optimize your mood naturally and quickly. Some people know in days if this product is working for them. Others need weeks before the benefits show.

It is very interesting to me that scientist Dr. Yury Kronn says,
“The difference between the ability of mineralized and distilled waters to hold Subtle Energy patterns suggests that minerals are playing the role of "capacitors" or holders of Subtle Energy. It could very well be that minerals play the same role in the human body."(Dr. Yury Kronn, PhD; Dr. Jeffrey Marrongelle, DC, CCN; Robert C. Eanes; “Subtle Energy and Energy Medicine: New Paradigms, New Technologies, New Possibilities”; www.pureenergyrx.com; white paper)
