Gail,

I just wanted to thank you profusely.  The healing was fabulous and very powerful.  My shoulders are almost completely devoid of any itching now and my anger has subsided substantially.  In situations where before I might have blown up, I am much more easily finding my inner peace and being able to stay connected and grounded in that. Thank you very much!

Love and light!

The Reluctant Orangutan - 2009

May 30, 2009

I went to the zoo to talk to the animals – specifically KJ, the 19-yr.-old male orangutan. 

He was depressed, angry, and not moving.  He was slated to go to Waco, Texas, to be with Mei, and Rachel was here to take him on the long over-land journey.  Temporarily held for five months at Zoo Atlanta, he hadn’t shifted in over a month, and his room in the primate building was beginning to smell pretty bad.  So, I asked Charles, the Curator of Primates, if I could come over and talk with KJ – you know the good old mind-meld thing – and see if I could convince him to willingly get up and leave!

I arrived Saturday afternoon – everyone was pretty tense because tomorrow was THE LAST day.  By Monday morning he had to be in his crate and loaded onto the truck for the 12-hour drive to Texas.  Staff had been trying to get him to move into a shift cage, where he could then be hand darted and put into his crate.  They’d tried all kinds of treats – ice cream, candy, milkshakes, bananas, but it hadn't worked - he'd just hunkered down to wait it out.  Orangs are notoriously stubborn, and have the patience of Job. 

So, now he was curled up in the far corner of his room, with a burlap blanket over his head like a monk in prayer.  He didn’t even want to look when I came into view on the other side of the glass.  Rachel got his attention, and slowly he peeked out from his cloth cave to give me the once over.  He was cautious – not trusting anyone who walked by.  And there was a lot of hubbub today, and my presence just added to it.  Keepers were frustrated; the vets were ostracized; Charles was working on ways to calm KJ down; and Rachel was doing her best to stay out of the fray – as she was his new keeper from Waco, and needed to be on KJ’s good side.

I tuned into KJ. 

“Hello,” I thought.  From his hiding place, he sent out vibes of being determined, alert, scared and bold at the same time.  I introduced myself, and told him why I was here.  I sensed his concern, and decided to show him in “pictures” what was up.  Yes, they did want to get him into the shift cage in order to dart him – but that it would be done gently and with a great reward.  He was going to a new home, and was going to be with a female orangutan! 

I told him he would need to act now – at least by tomorrow – in order to get this new life.  And it had to be better than living in stasis.  I explained that this was why everyone was running around emotionally distressed – the time window was closing, and he’d better get moving!  

I sensed I needed to get closer, so Charles took me around back where we could talk through the mesh.  Even though he was sitting farther from me, KJ could now smell me and hear my voice.  I offered some words of encouragement, and then again started sending “pictures.”

I visualized his journey – told him that after waking up in the crate, he would be loaded onto a truck.  It would be loud and smelly.  The journey would take all day (12 hours), and would be bumpy and uncomfortable.  But then at the end, he would be offloaded into a new home, where he would see a female, named Mei, and soon get to be her mate and make babies with her!  There would be a second male in the area, but KJ would be “king” of the orangutans – THE guy.  Rachel would be there to take care of his new group, and lots of people were really excited and happy for him to arrive and live there.  Happy ending…

And so, I left him.

I told Rachel and Charles what I had done – and encouraged them to continue sharing positive pictures with him. And I sent the staff a healing as well - they needed it as much as KJ!

I next went with Amanda to see Biji and JT – but that’s another story….

Rachel, who was staying at our home for the week, came back that night saying KJ had not gone near the shift, but they would wait and see what tomorrow would bring.  By Sunday evening, he had moved into the shift, but was too fast to lock in; he made a game of going in and grabbing food, and running back through the door before it closed!  They tried one more day – Monday – to see if they could get him in.  He wandered in and out of the shift, but when the keepers went to close the door, he literally beat the door by an inch…  So Charles said they’d back off and wait a couple of weeks, and send him later after he settled down to a normal routine.  On Tuesday, June 2nd, Rachel flew home to Texas.

So, imagine my delight when I got an email on June 7th from Rachel:

“Hello! KJ arrived in Waco this morning. He instantly adjusted to his new home. He shifts and lets us shut the door without any hesitation. He is taking food and drinks from all of us. He and Mei are very interested in each other. It took her most of the day to come out of her nest but when she did they started blowing raspberries at each other and displaying. I can't wait to introduce them to each other. Moocha (the other male) is set to arrive on Tuesday and then we will have a full house.”

Wow!  So, KJ must have gotten the “message” and within just a few days allowed himself to be caged, crated, and transported!  Ah, will miracles never cease…

Thanks, KJ!

Cynthia's Healing Story - 2006

September 4, 2006

I want to share my experience after a healing session I had with Gail.  I had been experiencing Neuropathy for 4 months.  If you do not know what that is, it is like burning/prickiling sensations all over the body.  I began getting this after I had a biopsy at the Mayo Clinic. The doctor cut into my nerve endings by accident. I felt these sensations 25% of the day and then it progressed to 100%.  I would take a shower and it would feel like I had sun burn all over. I became extremely depressed, like semi suicidal.  My legs began to get weak and it was difficult to walk because of the pain and burning that my feet were feeling. I had major anxiety and no patients with anyone or anything.  I was truly a bundle of nerves. I had a scheduled appointment with Gail (energy healer) on Tuesday and an appointment with a neurologist on the following Thursday.  I had talked to Brenda Cobb, at the Living Foods Institute in Atlanta, asking her for suggestions because I knew that I needed some therapy and she gave me Gail's name.  I thought when I called her that she was a psychologist but after I had already set up the appointment, she told me she was an energy healer. I almost canceled the appointment and actually would have but I had already paid for the appointment and did not want to cancel on her at the last minute.  So I just went ahead with the appointment. This was all over the phone.  I was in Cincinnati and she was in Atlanta.  Anyway, we spent an hour together over the phone.  I did most of the listening as Gail did her thing.  After hanging up, I really did not think that much about our session and I went about my day.  I did have an appointment with Living Longer which is an Integrative Medical Facility in Cincinnati that same day. They integrate the medical and holistic world.  I almost canceled that appointment too as I really felt that the only doctor that was going to help me that week was going to be the Neurologist as I had it pretty set in my mind that I had MS or something major.  Anyway, I kept the appointment and on my drive over to it, I kept feeling my right arm.  It felt semi normal, which meant no tingling or burning like I had in the remainder of my body.  My left side was the worst but I was happy to just get a little relief in my right arm. 
 
At Living Longer, they check you meridians on your finger tips for imbalances.  50 is the perfect score. Anything above or below is an imbalance.  Anyway, I gave the doctor my song and dance about my 4 months of agony.  She warned me that most likely my body was so inflamed that that I need to prepare myself for everything to end up in the "Red." I braced myself.  Each finger she did, came across as a 50 (perfect score)! She was perplexed so she had this very well known doctor come in because she could not figure out how my score could be what it was with all that I told her I had going on. Even semi healthy people do not score this high. They both scratched their head because I had been there before with less issues and never made perfect scores.  They kept asking me if I had taken ANYTHING or done anything different that day. I kept saying no because I was not able to get out of bed.  I was not going to tell them about my session with Gail as I did not think it really had an impact and on top of that I thought they would think I was a bit whacky.  I finally did tell them that I had an energy balancing session and they both blurted out, "Oh, well that is it!!" I looked at them and said, "You believe in that?" Maureen, the female doctor said, "oh yes, I practice healing touch with many of my patients and it is very powerful". I too have passed my first class in Reiki but I have never seen anything this powerful.  She said who ever worked on you today did an excellent job. Everyday my pain would decrease by 15%.  I rescheduled my Neurology appointment just in case the pain came back and I am very happy to say that I just canceled my 2nd tentative appointment after being 98% pain free for over 2 weeks.  It was truly like a miracle and I kept calling Gail asking for more sessions and she kept putting me off telling me to just be patient because my body was healing. This is all after one session!
 
I think back about how leary I was to spend the money I did with her which was really cheap in the big scheme of things.  I cannot imagine what I would have had to pay the neurologist for all the scans, X-rays, etc.
 
I am a firm believer in Gail and if you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me at:

John of God in Brazil - 2006

Gail meets with Dr. Augusto in John of God

Dr. Lash returned from Brazil in February 2006 with amazing insights and stories from seeing the spiritual healer, John of God.  She was also blessed to "hold current" when John came to Atlanta in April 2006.  She asked for "alignment" in all her bodies and life, and found upon returning to the States that she didn't need to go to the chiropracter for 3 months afterwards to get her spine and hips aligned!  Opportunities began to fall into place in her life; she was guided easily to create several new classes and projects.  Dr. Lash highly recommends traveling to see John of God - his Casa is very Holy and miracles of all kinds have occurred!

Gail's Healing Story - 2005

April 26, 2005

A miracle was confirmed today!  I have been challenged with an overactive thyroid during the last nine years - it has gone into remission twice before, but never this way or so fast!  It is now completely normal - in size, hormone levels, everything, and at least two nodules that were there two weeks before have totally disappeared!  Praise be to God!  I was led to do energy work around this health challenge, and it worked! 
My story is below:

I am a scientist by training, as well as an energy worker and spiritual healer.  On March 14th, I told my doctor that I had been having trouble swallowing, and thought that I my thyroid was growing.  He felt it, and said there was a nodule there - and it needed to be checked out.  So, he took me off of my thyroid medications, and sent me to a thyroid specialist, Dr. Israel Orija.

On March 17th, Dr. Orija saw me, and found at least two nodules, on either side of my enlarged thyroid.  He said that they might have been there for a long time, but that we needed to check them out and do a nuclear scan.  First, though, he wanted to check my blood for thyroid hormone levels to see if I was indeed hyperthyroid.  I had to be off my medications for a week before taking blood levels.  So, I went home to wait.

All my life, I have been on the path of speaking my own truth - my truth as a peacemaker.  While on my spiritual journey of the last eight years, I've found that energy work and spiritual meditation give me clarity in finding that truth.  I've realized that my overactive thyroid really has been a reminder for me to honor myself, my messages, my own answers.  It started acting up when I was doing research for my doctoral dissertation, and went normal after I finished my PhD!  But since last September, I had resisted creating my next step - Tourism For Peace (TFP) - and getting it off the ground.  So, last September, the thyroid became my messenger - "Get with it, Gail!"  And I did - in October I created my website: http://www.tourismforpeace.org.  In energy terms, the 5th chakra rules the throat and thyroid gland - and is all about communication and speaking one's truth.  So, I knew that I needed to work on the 5th chakra, and to balance my energy.  For most of this February and March, I had been debating about and preparing to apply for a job at the University of Georgia - one that was perfect for me, but meant really looking at my future and what path I wanted to take.  On March 18th, I finally finished my application and sent it off to UGA!  I felt complete - like I had taken a huge step in my life, and opened myself up to a whole set of new possibilities.

On March 22nd, I went to an acupuncturist, had one treatment, and began using Chinese herb teas. That afternoon, I got my thyroid hormone levels tested - and the blood levels came back normal.  I had a profound spiritual meditation class on March 28th, as well as a second acupuncture treatment on March 29th.  The meditation exercise was about owning one's own truth, and rejecting all other's information - that we all have our own information on how to run our lives - our own Divine voice within.  In it, I visualized myself in a room with doors on the periphery - if the doors were open and people were around, I was to usher the people out, close the doors, and seal them off, leaving only me (and my information) in the room.  As we went through the chakras, I found LOTS of people in the 5th, with many doors open!  When I cleared the room and closed the doors, I felt at peace, and whole.  I knew that this was a next step in my spiritual growth - taking seniority over others' views for my life plans.  To me, the thyroid was now able to not be clogged with other people - but could be just ME (normal and functioning well)!

On seeing the normal blood levels, my doctor prescribed an ultrasound of the thyroid (rather than a nuclear scan) to locate the nodules and their size.  On March 30th, I had the ultrasound done at the hospital outpatient area.  My husband and I entered the hospital early that morning - registered, and wondered where is this thyroid event taking us?  We were called into the ultrasound room, and the technician began to run the ultrasound wand up and down my throat.  She moved it all around, creating pictures on the TV screen, and a video for the doctor to look at later.  She looked puzzled, and I said that my doctor had felt two nodules, and that was why we were here.  She asked, "When did your doctor find them?"  "Two weeks ago," I replied.  She continued to scan, and we could tell that she was finding nothing!  She finished and we left - with a hopeful, happy heart.

On April 14th, I called my doctor's office and found out that the ultrasound showed a normal thyroid - no nodules!  And today, I saw Dr. Orija again at his office, and he felt my throat, and said, "You thyroid is at normal size, and I can barely feel it.  It is soft and palpable, and the nodules are gone. You thyroid levels are smack dab in the middle of the normal range - both the T4 and T3, not low normal or high normal, but right in the middle."  He smiled, and looked puzzled, and said, "I don't know what happened!"  And I said,"I do!" and proceeded to tell him of the acupuncture and spiritual meditation.  He asked me to describe the meditation, and I did.  I told him that I am a teacher at Horizon Healing Center, and gave him my TFP card with the HHC website written in.  He said he'd check it out.  Then we said, "well I guess I don't need to see you again"; "good knowing you"; and smiling we both left the room. 

I think that the UGA job step was a turning point for me.  I found out that I did not get the job, but it gave me a chance to promote "my truth" - who I am, and spurred me on to create my peace classes.  And praise be to energy work - both acupuncture and meditation!  And praise be to God, who is the energy source, and creates all things. 

I love it when miracles happen!  And when I can share them with others.

Namaste,
Gail Lash, Ph.D.

Don's Healing Story - 2004

In the winter of 2004, I was thinking about suicide.  Not that I hadn't thought of it before.  But now things were really dire, and I was ready to end it all.  One evening, as I visited a mutual friend, Gail was there and said that she could do a healing on me.  I was open to it.  We sat facing each other, and she proceeded to close her eyes and work on my energy field.  She said she was going to remove some dark spirits that I had picked up, that were making me want to kill myself.  I sat there for a while.  My body felt heavy, and thick.... like stirring a pot of pudding.  Then it lifted.  I felt clearer, lighter.  We ended the session, and I went home.  By the next morning, I was suddenly back to my old self - the one that loves life, is creative, and is wanting to spend time with my family.  I know that God was the one to work on me, through Gail.  My family is so grateful for getting the real me back... I am so grateful for getting a new lease on life.
