Lisa and Andrea are joined by Jonathan Goldman, M.Ac. to talk about his book The Gift of the Body: A Multi-Dimensional Guide to Energy, Anatomy, Grounded Spirituality and Living Through the Heart.  Enjoy this rich discussion covering some of what is below. The work that Goldman does and teaches clears lifelong depression, trauma, fears, anxieties, resentments, shame, self-judgment, relationship dysfunction, scarcity thinking, spiritual disconnection, and much more. Goldman's goal is to lead you to become "the commander of your own vehicle."  He teaches you the art of inner alignment --The Divine Tactics -- to be empowered to live your life informed by self-knowledge and self-actualization. You become your own teacher by having access to your heart, your intuition, and the inspiration of Light. This work is not defined by ideology or religious dogma. It is based on the reality of Light and the inherent qualities present in all humans. An example: compassion is a universal force. It lives in a specific location in your heart chakra. It is built into your original equipment. It has nothing necessarily to do with religion. It is not the same thing as empathy. The embodiment of compassion is the key to healing, energetic protection, and inner peace. This is something anybody can learn. This knowledge has come to Goldman through a fascinating journey that has led him to become one of the first practitioners of acupuncture in the United States, to the depth of the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, and to teaching and guiding people in their spiritual transformation all over the world. He learned his craft through forty years of clinical practice and multiple pieces of training in various healing arts. Under the guidance of a leading Bioenergetic practitioner and spiritual teacher, he experienced a consciousness-awakening journey to Brazil that opened his mediumistic gifts and made him available to multi-dimensional influences. This initially manifested when he was guided where to put needles in patients that were not in keeping with traditional teachings-and he began to get phenomenal results! Tracking the diagrams of needle placement, enabled him to begin charting the Human Energy Vehicle. From that point forward, Goldman began receiving what became The Chakra Map, Transformational Energy Healing, and The Divine Tactics. His own journey of personal healing and spiritual evolution has paralleled the knowledge that he has received and taught to thousands.Goldman is one of the leading educators on the embodiment of Light and its use in healing and for spiritual illumination. The Essential Light Institute, which he co-founded in 2008, is dedicated to teaching the arts of self-transformation and energy healing through a direct relationship with the living force of Light. In his book The Gift of the Body: A Multi-Dimensional Guide to Energy, Anatomy, Grounded Spirituality and Living Through the Heart he describes it as "an experiential, practical, transformational manual for the adventure school of your life."  Goldman is also one of the premier experts and leaders in the United States in the ceremonial use of plant medicine. He led the decade-long campaign that successfully freed the Santo Daime for spiritual practice in the U.S.
