Today we’d like to introduce you to Dawn Ressel.
Dawn, before we jump into specific questions, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
My healing journey began about 12 years ago. I was first introduced to meditation by my therapist while being treated for anxiety. Anxiety was a debilitating factor in my life. My mind was constantly filled with “what if” scenarios that usually ended in the worst possible outcome. In addition, I was diagnosed with several phobias, including mild agoraphobia, which is the fear of the outside. I had a fear of going practically anywhere by myself, except to and from work. When my anxiety was at its worst, I would have panic attacks.
To curb my anxiety, I tried visualization and breathing exercises. I had moderate success with that, and it opened my eyes to the possibilities of alternative healing. But my anxiety was still so bad that I reluctantly started taking prescription medication to cope with it. Medication masked a lot of my anxiety, but it didn’t deal with the root cause.
My deeper healing didn’t begin until I started down a spiritual path. I believe anxiety and a lot of other mental illnesses are actually not mental illnesses – they’re spiritual and emotional illnesses. I had lost touch with the light, with my own divinity, with any form of higher power. I was carrying around so much emotional baggage from my past that I couldn’t see the beauty and joy that the present has to offer. That began to shift after I got my Life Activation.
Several years later, I’m a completely different person. I’ve essentially cured my anxiety. I no longer need or take medication. The healings I’ve done, my spiritual training, and my daily one-hour meditation practice keep me in my joy and living without anxiety. And now, I get to offer Life Activations and many other healing modalities to others!
Has it been a smooth road?
Becoming a healer and meditation coach certainly wasn’t planned. After my Life Activation, I felt a growing dissonance between my work and my highest purpose. I was designing software, which is a desirable job, and I was good at it. But that path had already run its course in my life.
In pursuit of my purpose, I attended Empower Thyself & Initiation, which is the next step after Life Activation. There I learned deep, ancient, sacred spiritual teachings. And I was initiated into the lineage of King Salomon, which goes back 3,500 years.
After that, I had more power to fulfill my purpose and got much clearer spiritual guidance. A couple of months after initiation, I received spiritual guidance to become a Life Activation practitioner and healer in this lineage. No one was more surprised than me! But I heard the call, and I followed it. And it’s been rewarding path.
My advice to other women is to trust your intuition and work on your spiritual growth. We all have that voice inside of us that’s trying to guide us towards what’s best for us. We often dismiss it! Too often, we let fears and insecurities get in the way. We compare ourselves to others and think we should do what everyone else does. But that’s exactly wrong.
Each of us has a unique purpose to fulfill in this life. No one else can tell you what that is. And no one else is already doing it – because it’s your job! So tune in and trust your intuition. A daily meditation practice is a great way to start clearing your mind of the clutter so that clear guidance can come through. And for me, finding this lineage with pure and powerful tools has made all the difference. I now understand my role in this world and have the tools to help manifest what I want and need.
We’d love to hear more about your work.
I’m a certified healer and meditation coach. I study with the Modern Mystery School, which has an unbroken lineage that goes back 3,500 years. Today there are a lot of modalities out there, but as a person seeking healing, it’s difficult to know if it works and whether you should trust it. That’s why I decided to train in this lineage. I had been searching for a set of practical methods that could help me connect with my inner light and highest potential. I was introduced to these healing methods when I received a powerful healing called the Life Activation.
The Life Activation brings more connection and power to fulfill your highest purpose on this planet. Each of us is entrusted with a mission that only we can fulfill – a mission that serves the greatest and highest good. The Life Activation helps you discover and embody that mission. It strengthens your connection with your Higher Self – the part of you that is pure spirit and lives only in the light.
After your Life Activation, your Higher Self will speak much more loudly in your life, and you’ll be guided towards actions and situations that help you and others. It’s like walking around a dark labyrinth and suddenly, someone hands you a flashlight. It also raises your vibration and gives you tools to live more fully. There isn’t another healing out there that can do what the Life Activation does. Every person on this planet can benefit from this modality, which is one of the reasons I love it.
I also offer a few different modalities for the aura. The Aura Healing repairs damage to the aura and helps us hold the light. This healing is great after a Life Activation. We bring in so much light with the Life Activation, and the Aura Healing helps you hold onto that light. I also offer a 7-Layer Aura Balancing which is really rejuvenating and removes heaviness – that baggage that weighs you down. This service works with the Egyptian gods and goddesses. I won’t spoil the surprise, but for anyone who’s intrigued by ancient Egypt, this healing is for you. And the Shamanic Aura Clearing brings in light and strengthens your aura, which is your protective bubble from other people’s energies and negativity.
For people who are dealing with depression or lack of joy, I offer the Full Spirit Activation. It builds on the Life Activation and brings a renewed sense of enthusiasm for life. My clients with depression say it dramatically reduces or even goes away after this session. I also offer the Soul Retrieval for those who have suffered traumatic events. Modern psychology addresses what happens during trauma on the emotional and mental levels. But the soul level is where a lot of the healing actually needs to happen.
I also offer public group meditation classes called Max Meditation™. These sessions are a great entry point to anyone interested in starting a meditation practice or exploring a spiritual path. You get a full hour of relaxing meditation and a taste of the energy we work within our lineage. The great thing about Max Meditation™ is it’s accessible for beginners and strengthens your meditation practice if you’re already experienced. This meditation is designed for the Western mind. In the west, we typically have a harder time diving into Eastern styles of meditation because our minds are very active.
Who have you been inspired by?
Both of my grandmothers were truly inspiring women. My maternal grandmother, Angelina, raised 14 children! My sisters and I had the great blessing of spending a lot of our childhood with her. She taught me the importance of caring for your loved ones and how to be selfless and generous. She also taught me the importance of a strong work ethic. I was always amazed by how much she could get done in a day. She was organized and focused in her everyday life.
My paternal grandmother, Frances, was a thoughtful and kind person. She taught me the importance of showing people you care by taking an interest in them. She remembered every birthday of every family member. She always knew what was going on in our lives. Every time she called she would ask me about my endeavors and knew very specifically what I cared about. She connected with each person authentically and in a way that made them feel loved and heard.
