Our recent guest on Life Mastery Radio with Todd & Jackie was Janine Bolon. She is not only a Mystic as she defines it; she is a Shaman, a Sacred Clown, and a Bell Dancer. These descriptions are only a few ways to illustrate the journey Janine has been on to discover the Source of her spirituality.
Janine explains most of us are living by default, which is when we
take life at status quo, live by the rules, and never question our common
reality. In tribal work, mysticism is more important than the outward ceremony.
Janine believes our lives should be this way.
Since a young age, Janine has always wanted to understand “the
man behind the curtain”. She’s been a rule breaker when it comes to the expected
ways to behave. This led her to naturally becoming a Sacred Clown and a Bell
Dancer.
Although she has no genetic link to native Americans, she’s been
defined by tribal leaders as “one of them” after learning Janine had been
struck by lightening around the age of 9-10.
It happened on an island under clear blue skies. The Thunder Clan picked Janine, and lightening struck her. This may have marked the beginning of her mystical journey.
“People ask ‘why am I here?’. They may turn to religion, folklore, or people like Joseph Campbell. Wherever you look you can find a group of like-minded people who think like you.”
Janine Bolon
Janine cautions – “Start thinking outside the box, or better yet don’t think at all. Experience life. Go a little crazy.”
A Hindu Guru once taught the most important quality of a devotee
is not love or dedication as you might think. It’s fearlessness. Move through
life with fearlessness.
“I knew if I lived life in a state of fear, It would shroud me from truth.”
Janine Bolon
Janine shared with us a vision she had of the creation of souls. Popping into the world were spheres of electrical light bouncing along with excitement like kids waiting in line to enter Disneyland.
“Every soul comes to earth with that excitement. We are allowed to create life, mess it up, come back, and talk about it. We all wanted to be part of this adventure. There is nothing serious going on here on planet earth. Like any good stage play, we have it all.”
Janine Bolon
Janine used the metaphor of a carnival to illustrate what life should be like for all of us. There are thrilling rides, unusual sites to see, delicious foods to try, and times when we want to sit it out for a bit.
“If you don’t enjoy your life, then why aren’t you changing it?”
Janine Bolon
The greatest insight I received from Janine’s interview was about the people here on earth whom we don’t get along with, or who drive us crazy. Janine explains these people will be our best friends after this life. They are those who loved us before we came here and who annoy us because they want us to test our paradigms, discover who we are, and learn ways to become the best we can be. Unfortunately, we’ve all had a mind-wipe and we don’t remember them from before.
Janine knows meditation is the way we will stop living life by default. A regular practice of meditation will reintroduce us to ourselves. Three minutes a day is enough to achieve that end, and EVERYONE can meditate. It takes practice but will provide clarity about your Source.
Janine offers retreats to help you unearth who you are and dig deeper into your mystic self. She is hosting one of these retreats on April 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. It’s a special retreat to celebrate the Equinox. Learn more here: Equinox Retreat. By day three she claims you’ll have a 90-day plan pivotal to your mystic journey.
On her website ThePracticalMystics.Com you’ll find more information about Janine and her programs.
On Janine’s website you will also get her latest book, Expressing the Divine FREE in pdf form. You can also find it on Amazon.
By mystical coincidence, just as Todd and I finished our
interview with Janine, the clock read 11:11. As many of you know, 1111 by
spiritual standards means “you are one with life and all that is”. It’s the
signal that you should live in the light that surrounds you and experience a
relationship with the Divine.
Janine “Dancing Crow” Bolon is a Sacred Clown, Shaman, Bell Dancer and First Chakra Healer. She provides shamanistic healing by the use of Totem Animals for Relationships, Wealth and Life Path Challenges.Walking the Medicine Wheel is
a process Shamans of many different cultures have used for centuries to
focus their metaphysical gifts to create positive change in their
environments, relationships and physical bodies.Many of the wheels
that Janine has walked have been used to give thanks to the Great
Spirit, to create a change or were used to release a tradition back to
Source. Of the 15+ different tribes she has worked with, each uses the
Wheel in a different way and with different intentions. Janine will be speaking to the more intimate, personal uses of the Medicine Wheel. Expressing the Divine is the third installment in Janine Bolon’s Divine Series. Meet Janine Bolon

The love doctor returned to Life Mastery Radio this week. Dr. Gary Salyer is the author of Safe to Love Again, and he teaches his clients to do just that by helping them rewire their brains with an understanding of four important feelings.
When you add up all these feelings you feel loved and can give love back.
“Babies have an attachment style by the time they’re 10 months old. If, as children, we experience all four feelings we become securely attached.”
Dr. Gary Salyer
Dr. Salyer told the story of his patient, Paul who had become insecurely unattached around the time he was four years old. Paul had learned that at some point, “Love will turn on me.”
Paul was twice divorced around the 10-year mark of each relationship. He lacked trust in each wife since he always knew at some point love would turn on him. He recognized the fault was his but didn’t know how to create lasting love.
Paul spoke of a family campout when, without any provocation or reason, his father walked over to him and began beating Paul. His father “turned against him” leaving Paul with the distinct feeling that at some point anyone who loved him would do the same.
At one session Paul’s
older brother was with him as he retold the story.
Staring in complete shock, Paul’s brother spoke:
“You got it all wrong, Paul. I was at that campout and witnessed your pant legs catching on fire because you got too close to the flames. Dad jumped up and beat the flames out so you didn’t become a marshmallow. He didn’t turn on you! Dad saved your life!”
“Feelings are so powerful we often determine “our truth” which keeps us from seeing “THE truth”. The brain uses these early templates for all our relationships. The brain creates experience, and in Paul’s case set up levels of distrust by misinterpreting an experience.”
Dr. Gary Salyer
Dr. Salyer explained when the four feelings are not felt as children, we actually separate from our bodies and feelings without a right to exist.
He himself did not feel welcomed as a baby. Dr. Salyer’s mother was extremely disappointed he was not a girl. He was dressed in pink and went without a name for three weeks after his birth.
How did this manifest In Dr. Salyer? He didn’t feel cherished. His mother was abusive and unprotecting. Gary learned it was safer for him to be distanced from his mother, and he spent time playing in his room.
When he got married
Dr. Salyer didn’t understand why his wife felt lonely. He was still practicing
what he’d learned as a child: being distant is safe. The separation made his
wife feel as though Dr. Salyer didn’t understand her. The figurative distance
between them widened further and further until divorce was imminent.
“If you have fled from feelings as a child your brain is not set up to feel. I was blind as a bat without feelings. I was denying my wife the feelings of being cherished and welcomed.”
Dr. Gary Salyer
Dr. Salyer affirms: “If there are fights in a relationship it’s because one partner isn’t feeling one of these feelings:”
Welcomed with Joy
Worthy and Nourished
Cherished and
Protected
Empowered with Choice
“Show me a couple without a WE, and I’ll show you a war. There has to be a WE, and worthy is what makes love go around. It’s a birthright. You were born worthy.”
Dr. Gary Salyer
When Dr. Gary works
with individuals or couples, he helps them find the imprints – the big moments
when the brain shaped an emotional experience.
“Find the flavor of safety the brain was seeking, and you’ll discover the feeling. Giving yourself the right to have these feelings and restoring them is what makes self-love possible. The brain will feel safe. Change the feeling and everything else changes. Feelings are the original GPS for love.”
Dr. Gary Salyer
A brain that is aligned with these four feelings easily creates a profound, intimate, deep, calming, and empowering WE. From this WE extraordinary couples are born, nurtured, and raised.
Watch videos on Dr. Sayler’s website he calls MESSAGES ABOUT LOVE. They are only 2-4 minutes in length and many couples report tremendous value by learning from them.
Robert Palmer’s ear worm of a song “Addicted to Love” describes love obsession in a rhythmic way:
Your lights are on, but you’re not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You can’t sleep, you can’t eat
There’s no doubt, you’re in deep
Your throat is tight, you can’t breathe
Another kiss is all you need
Whoa, you like to think that you’re immune to the stuff, oh yeah It’s closer to the truth to say you can’t get enough You know you’re gonna have to face it, you’re addicted to love
Sherry Gaba, our most recent guest admits to being addicted to love.
“I’ve been married multiple times and want to relinquish the shame love addiction brings on. It’s never too late to recover.”
Love and relationship addiction are process addictions which result in the same brain activity as drug addiction. Any addict needs a fix. With love addicts, they long for an attachment when break ups occur.
“The love addict chases that first high – the drug of that first love of adolescence or early adulthood.”
Sherry Gaba
The relationship addict will:
Over-adapt to what others want
Fear letting go of a relationship
Fear the unknown without a partner
Need to be in a relationship to feel whole
Look to others for affirmation
Give up who they are for fear of losing a partner
“Being alone is scary for a relationship addict, and it begins with early trauma.”
Sherry Gaba
Sherry was a preemie. Living for two and a half months in an incubator meant she was not held, there was no human contact or bonding, and she was fed through her feet.
“I didn’t meet my mother until I was more than 2 months old, and then she was unavailable throughout child-hood. I was a love addict from the get-go.”
Sherry Gaba
It took years for Sherry to understand her obsession with love and relationships, and through therapy work she now makes choices from an embodied place rather than in desperation.
“Healing from addiction is a discovery of yourself.”
Sherry Gaba
Since all addiction comes from early child-hood trauma, you may be prone to addiction yourself. Did you experience any of the following?
Divorced parents
Neglectful parents
Premature birth
Abandonment
Abuse
Child-hood injuries
Addicted or alcoholic parents
You may likely respond to pain as an infant would respond. As an adult you may be clingy, always looking for acceptance and recognition, and do not feel you are enough or have enough.
“A love addict will unconsciously attempt to satisfy his/her need to belong in many ways. The desire is simply an illusion of what love will give you; a fantasy of what you want.”
Sherry Gaba
Sherry’s own mother married a con man after Sherry’s father died because she felt lost without her husband. Despite being 70 years old, she was vulnerable like a child searching for love and belonging, insecure and needy.
Sherry’s mother was taken advantage of financially, physically, and emotionally by a man she likely did not love.
“An illusion which was devastating to the whole family.”
Sherry Gaba
Sherry can help you and loved ones heal from
the addictions related to love, relationships and codependency. Becoming aware
is the first step.
Inside is a special invite to join her Wake Up Recovery Facebook Community
If you want to be in a healthy relationship start by empowering yourself to be happy in your own skin. Have confidence to say what you feel and be strong on your own.
If you expect someone else to fill you up, you will always be disappointed. Break your addiction to love!
