LECTURE: Healing for Empaths & Highly Sensitive Persons
50- or 90-Minute Lecture:
Are you frustrated because you haven’t yet healed? If you’re an Empath or Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), and your symptoms of physical, emotional, or energetic pains and illness keep reoccurring no matter what you’ve done, this event can provide long-awaited answers!
Many of us on the path of self-realization are overly empathic; therefore, we need special tools and techniques that teach us how to effectively protect ourselves from incoming energies, as well as a method to permanently release everything we’ve already absorbed.
- Learn how to use your intuitive gifts to self-heal and how to better use these gifts for the benefit of others!
- Find out how your sensitivities may be the root cause of your physical, emotional, or energetic blockages that have resulted in pain or illness -- and what you can do about it.
- Leave with a new awareness and a confirmation that you’re not alone, and that there are answers to your questions!
You’ll learn a channeled process specific to Empaths and HSPs who are still dealing with lethargy, lack of focus, or various forms of pain and illness so we can finally heal and be better equipped to help others.
Informative, grounded, thoroughly enlightening…
“...thank you for coming to NYC to present such an informative, grounded but thoroughly enlightening session
...
yesterday - a kind of mini 'energetic survival guide' which will be extremely useful to me...I really appreciate the fact that you are teaching 'no-nonsense', hands on, 'get-down-and-do-it' type sessions in what tends to be an otherwise very ethereal, and sometimes rather ungrounded discipline.”

I do a lot of assisting others. But it was Dave who reminded me that we are not responsible for anyone else except for ourselves, even if we love someone and the person is good to us. We can "know" this, but fail to embody it. Dave described some ways that not taking responsibility for ourselves can make us ill. No wonder "helper" burnout can happen all too often, when we are giving so much and wondering- when will I get taken care of?
Thank you, Dave, for setting some of us straight! I find myself getting drained repeatedly by other people's energy to the point where it can make me sick or very disoriented. Dave mentioned a way that I could protect myself, though. His suggested visualization technique has done wonders? His approachable style and sense of humor made the learning and sharing that much more rewarding. In working with other healers, it's always refreshing when someone talks to you like a regular person, like Dave does. The other participants seemed equally thankful and excited to learn more. I can't wait for him to come back to our wellness center!

An amazing healing technique!
“"Dave has put together an amazing healing technique all on his own developed from his personal
...
experiences. I have listened to hundreds of hours of cassette tapes over the years, and CDs, and classes, and workshops (for many years) and not until I met with Dave for one time did this energy get released. I am forever grateful to him."”
[ Read more ]– Marilyn Hall, Mountain View, CA
Blew my mind!
“Your body scan technique blew my mind! I didn't think it would work, or I thought I would only sense anger in my
...
heart from my divorce, but I felt pressure in my throat and thought, ‘someone couldn't talk, someone couldn't talk’ and I spoke for them -- my brother! I then remembered that my younger brother had a speech impediment as a child and I had to translate for him to my parents and the neighborhood kids because no one could understand him until he began speech therapy. I had forgotten about that as it was so long ago. So I imagined that I wrapped that in a little package and gave it back to him (As described in
Self-Care for the Self-Aware), since he could handle it and has overcome it. He is now a successful doctor.”

ON-LINE / TELE-COURSE: Healing for Empaths & Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) World-Wide 10-Week Tele-Course From Your Own Home, Office, or Mobile
Highly Sensitive Persons have unique needs and desires that are too often not supported—much less understood—by our families, friends or coworkers. Sadly, this emotional disconnect often leaves us feeling alone, lost, confused or unhealthy.
It’s time to make friends with your sensitivities and see them as an ally not a burden. It’s time to take back your power. It’s time to have your needs met with ease and grace, and to learn to make a difference in the world by sharing your unique gifts in a whole new way.
Learn how to thrive as a Highly Sensitive Person in an increasingly insensitive world!
Introducing, the Healing for Empaths & Highly Sensitive Persons 10-Week Tele-Course that you can join from anywhere!
Take advantage of group dynamics, person-specific exercises, in-depth consultation, and remarkably effective energetic transmissions to achieve what you really want, not what society wants from you.
You'll also learn to make a difference in the world by sharing your unique gifts in a whole new way. And if you’re not sure what your gifts are, get ready to find out!
TO MAXIMIZE YOUR RESULTS, SPACE IS LIMITED TO JUST 4 PARTICIPANTS PER SESSION!
Based on the concepts — but not limited to those — in the bestselling, Self-Care for the Self-Aware: A Guide for Highly Sensitive People, Empaths, Intuitives, and Healers, and Empathipedia: Healing for Empaths & Highly Sensitive Persons, you'll receive personalized instructions on how to heal as an Empath or Highly Sensitive Person.
In just 10 weeks, you’ll learn to use your gifts to self-heal, help heal others better than ever, and make a tangible difference in the world.
Each session will be intuited in the moment for your individual highest good, all guided by Source through Dave. You’ll experience an expansion of your awareness and an increase in your capacities to fulfill your own desires, while also fine-tuning your space-holding and healing skills for others!
If the Creator wanted us to go at it alone, we would have been given 7 billion planets — one person each!
This is not a “me” practice but rather a “we” practice! Interdependency is the new norm.
Isn’t it time you stepped up and played bigger? To grow with the flow? To get more confident? To heal what ails you? To connect on a deeper level with others, Source and yourself?
I am moved to tears right now as I realize how helpful it was to have this group to connect with every Tuesday. It was a beautiful thing to watch how holding space in a safe environment without judgement enabled everyone to work deeper—that is pretty amazing when I realize that we began as total strangers! I have heard the term ‘holding space’ for many years, but never totally understood the concept until I experienced it on these calls!
Dave, I think the most important thing you bring to the table when working with us is that nobody is WRONG about what they are feeling. Having the freedom to lay out all the raw emotions without judgment really helps to move through them. Kudos to you!!

I am now able to move into my heart space more often…
“After taking Dave's class, I have a much better understanding of and appreciation for my sensitivities. I also feel much stronger and more confident in my ability to handle situations that in the past would have exhausted or overwhelmed me. Most importantly, I am able to move into my heart space more often and come from that sacred center when I am with others. Dave's ability to hold sacred space for us in the group was so healing … and I am starting to have more energy, slowly but surely. Thank you, Dave!”

Denise Taylor, Portland, Oregon, Retirement, Legacy, and Conscious Aging Coach
“I found the group sessions highly valuable because I learned how sensitive I am and what I’m taking on that’s not mine. This was made evident in the group setting and shares, which I gained a great deal from. Dave is a skilled facilitator and intuitive. I appreciated being called out on my "non-availability" to men so I could work on opening my heart. I had been doing work with another practitioner and that never came up, so I seriously appreciated the "tough" love! ;-)”
[ Read more ]– J.O., Portland, OR
An objective and supportive space…
“I'm always wary of group programs - and I had a bit of trepidation about whether I would "fit in" or whether the group would be too melancholy, overly sensitive, or some other unflattering descriptive word. Turns out my concerns were unfounded. Our group was supportive and Dave did a great job steering the conversations and keeping them productive. The best part for me was the connection formed with the group as a whole. I also loved getting to know the other group members and feeling heard when I shared and received support. I'd recommend this group to those who are highly sensitive, have big goals, and need an objective and supportive space to talk through what's holding or threatening to hold them back so they can make sure they are progressing forward in the way they intend to (or better).”

“Dave is a unique and gracious teacher and guide as well as an amazing channel for Love. I've had dozens of teachers through the decades and never have I come across such a compassionate soul who know the right words to say at the right time – to open your heart.”

Enlightening journey towards thriving as a Highly Sensitive Person and empath…
“Dave skillfully and eloquently takes the group on a down to earth, enlightening journey towards thriving in the challenging world as a Highly Sensitive Person and empath. His keen intuition and heart-felt compassion open the door for all of us to enter the beautiful world that awaits.”

Healing for Empaths & Sensitives Online / Tele-Workshop
In working with thousands of Empaths and Highly Sensitive Persons, I’ve observed:
- Empaths & Sensitives often feel overly responsible for others—to the point where we absorb their energies!
- We’ve done tons of healing and growth work and at best have only attained temporary relief.
- We have difficulty receiving. We give and give and give. In fact, we put our own needs secondary to the needs of others.
- We prefer more intimate connections with like minds and hearts rather than large gatherings.
- We frequently feel misunderstood and are sometimes told “You’re too sensitive!”
To the latter I say…
“Thank you for noticing my Superpower!”
Because we often carry the pain of others, what starts out feeling altruistic or even heroic is a gradual invitation to martyrdom. This energetic absorption can lead to ailments that are given more diagnoses than hope.
What if there were a way to “give back” those energies to whom they belong? What if those recipients were actually happy their growth opportunities have returned? What if there were a way to address and finally heal absorbed pain, illness, or beliefs on this metaphysical level that is healthy and empowering?
There is.
At these on-line/tele-workshops, you’ll learn how to fine-tune your empathic gifts and:
- heal what ails you at the root level—increasing ease and vitality;
- healthily prevent incoming energy no matter who or what is entering your personal space;
- connect with others on deeper levels than ever before—safely;
- increase intuitive guidance; and
- better share your gifts with world—without exhaustion or overwhelm!
From the comfort of your own home or office, join us for this empowering and experiential workshop!
Sunday, January 12, 2020
11:00AM PST to 2:00PM PST, with a 20-minute intermission.
The audio portion of this event will be recorded and registered participants will have access to the recording after the live event.
Three recorded hours of Private Sessions with Dave costs $435, but because we are co-creating this in a group and because it’s a new format, the January introductory rate is just $25! February’s tele-course will return to the normal rate of $49.

Due to the nature of intuited guidance and energywork, your results will vary dependent on a variety of factors. Guidance and energywork are not intended to replace medical care in any way, shape, or form. Dave is not an MD and cannot/will not prescribe, diagnose, or “treat” any medical diagnosis nor guarantee results — ever, rather he will focus on and guide you in transforming the underlying causal energies that are often responsible for life’s challenges. I am aware I am responsible for my own healing and safety, and will not hold Dave Markowitz or his associates liable for anything that arises during the workshop or after that may be a result of the workshop.
Healing for Empaths & Highly Sensitive Persons
In-Person Courses

Do you feel fatigued, anxious, or heavy-hearted?
Do you suffer from tight muscles or energetic overwhelm?
Tired of bearing the weight of the world on your shoulders?
The needs of the Empath and Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) are different. These very unique needs and desires are typically not supported by the mainstream—much less understood—leaving us feeling alone, lost, confused or unhealthy.
You are not alone. And confusion and symptom overload are the norms for untrained empaths.
At this workshop, you will:
- Learn why you absorb others’ energy and how that can cause pain and illness;
- Receive the steps to prevent energetic overload—no matter who is challenging your peace;
- Experience healing of your individual challenges and symptoms; and
- Learn to make a difference in the world by sharing your unique gifts in a whole new way!
Healed the sadness & anger I've been holding onto for years…
“Dave's weekend workshop helped me see how powerful it is to have community support for healing. By being given the presence, awareness, guidance, and love from Dave & the group, I was able to have raw vulnerability & release shame. I was able to further heal the sadness & anger I've been holding onto for years. I was so impressed with Dave's ability to intuitively know how to guide us to healing, even when we weren't sure of what we needed ourselves.”

Extraordinary healing & transformation… released decades of emotions I was not even aware of…
When I registered for Dave’s 10-week workshop, I had no idea how life changing that decision would be. Each week we witnessed extraordinary healing & transformation, by releasing energy that was not ours. I released decades of emotions I was not even aware I was holding onto. These past 10 weeks I’ve met wonderful & courageous people. We are all moving forward with inner strength, knowledge, & understanding of how to truly live as Empaths.
Thank You Dave, for your loving guidance & amazing workshop.

“I recently attended a four session workshop with Dave Markowitz and I must say, it was life changing. Empaths and highly sensitive people are often ‘walking sponges,’ and Dave showed us a way to navigate through life by befriending and releasing blockages to create better health, and improved relationships. I must say that along with his deep knowledge on the topic, his wry sense of humor was an added
...
bonus. I would sign up again for any workshop or lecture he is offering.”

“I had been suffering from chronic migraines for over 15 years. I knew that I was an empath, and decided to give Dave’s class a try. I was not disappointed. After processing deep seated emotional pain, I have not had another migraine. Dave is easy to understand, and his style is not ego driven. I am so glad I took a leap of faith and went to his class!”
– Anne P., Medical office support, Portland OR
“I am currently taking my third course with Dave. I find our group work so incredibly valuable for many reasons. First, it has helped me to better understand myself as an empath and has validated a lot of my life experiences. Second, it has given me tools, such as the keyhole exercise, to use in situations where I might be taking on other people's stuff. Lastly, and probably most importantly, the classes and
...
work have given me the opportunity to experience my own vulnerability in the presence of others and witness their vulnerability as well. This has been critical for my healing process and is what I am really so very grateful for. I feel happier and more at peace than I can ever remember. I am sleeping better and am noticing that I am making healthier lifestyle choices.”

“This was a wonderful class. Dave does an excellent job of establishing a group environment that nurtures trust, respect, and growth. We were each given the opportunity to explore our thoughts and feelings that typically lie below the surface. In this ‘safe container’ environment, those who were willing to dive a bit deeper into the vulnerable places within were given gentle guidance and support. The
...
transformative results were, at times, utterly stunning. Energy movement is not always easy to define, but it is felt as clearly as the temperature in a room. Here, the energy movement in the class was often palpable and magical. With Dave’s ‘keyhole’ technique, we learned not to take on the energy of others, but instead, to hold space for them and ourselves. If you want to explore a greater range of human emotion in a safe environment, then sign up for Dave’s next class. You won’t regret it.”

“Working with Dave made a tangible difference in my quality of life and my ability to handle everything coming my way. Being a highly sensitive person has many benefits, but I couldn't see them under what felt like the burden of of the overwhelm that came with it. Now that I have tools and techniques, I feel better, less fatigued, more engaged, and I'm remembering the Joy of it all.”
– Shelly Walker, former Director of New Thought Center for Spiritual Living (NTCSL), Lake Oswego
“Dave is a gentle, insightful, wise facilitator of the process which allows us to keep the energies that are ours to love and heal, and to return to others that which is theirs. I had several profound breakthroughs during the four-week class, and continue to do the work daily. I left his workshop feeling uplifted, and with simple tools to continue my healing and enlightenment. I referred many of my clients to
...
him, and instituted his process at home with my partner. This experience has lightened my energy and enriched my spiritual practices. I am grateful. I highly recommend Dave's workshops and his book, Self Care for the Self Aware.”

Healing Circles for Empaths and Sensitives

Overwhelmed?
Tired of trying?
Is your tender heart feeling heavy?
All the work you’ve done needs quality time for integration. A time to just be, and let the energies of Source wash all over and through you.
We’ll co-create a passive healing environment where balance can finally be achieved.
A safe space for sharing if you care to, or just taking it all in without saying a word.
In the comfort of Unfold Yoga, on soft cushions and under warm blankets, we’ll take a journey to allow all the work we’ve done to finally take hold. And create space for new awareness, better connections, and a more aligned life.
It’s a surrender practice that requires, well, a healthy surrender!
Not a giving up, there is a difference.
“The healing continued even after yesterday's healing circle. I woke up in the middle of the night to an inner eye vision. I saw you at my right side, at 2 or 3 o'clock, composed of crystal clear conscious light particles. Then a ball of white light descended upon me, followed by a column/waterfall of light and energy that rippled through me. A few minutes later, I felt a great sense of calm, stillness,
...
peace, and centeredness in my heart. Also, when I woke up this morning, my cat Habanero (whom I put in the healing circle) power snuggled with me for the first time in many months! I look forward to more healing and awakening. Thank you soooooo much for being on this planet and for doing the work you do!”
[ Read more ]– JoAnn Kohl, business attorney, Portland, Oregon
A healthy surrender is when we realize that there are some challenges that are just too big for us to handle on our own. It’s when we can gently let go of the mind’s ideas of what should and shouldn’t be, and align with the intentions of our soul — to receive higher intuitive guidance that is beyond the realm of mind.
We’ll do a brief check in, or you can certainly ‘pass’ your turn, and then listen to a special CD that was created to open the heart. In the sea of connectedness and Dave's energy channeling, we’ll assimilate what we’ve learned along our journey and re-energize ourselves to better handle our challenges. A time to heal, and to remember who we really are.

Healing Circle Testimonials
“I want to give you a genuine "thank you" for everything! At the Healing Circle, I had the most amazing positive experience of my life. I opened up to positive energy and began to give myself love.”
Hi Dave,
Today's Healing Circle was awesome! It was my first time and I thought I would be able to do the session and then come back to work. Bad planning on my part. I am so alive, on fire and jittery it's very hard to stay at my desk and do my job. Next time I might need to think about taking the day off. I am so full of joy. What a wonderful session.
Thanks,
PS. I would also like to tell you a bit about a dream I had the next morning:
A young man hands me a device like an Ipad and is showing me a video taken in the future. He says this is what things will be like in just a few years. He wants me to know that in the future things have worked out as well or even better than I'm hoping for.
I don't remember if I was crying for joy in the dream or if I just wanted to, but I kept thanking the young man over and over for giving me this gift to know that the future is going to be so great.

“Thank you so much for creating the opportunity to be together… as the "healing" began…I closed my eyes and swear that you approached my field; the feeling I was surrounded by was nothing short of Source, Bliss, Love. I then realized there were many Spirits in the room working.
I felt like my intention was being answered right away (I intend on Remembering at a deeper level Who I Am); it felt as if a thick clay pot was breaking in pieces and falling away from me–my ego–and I was totally free and joyful. I then became aware it was myself that I was experiencing; the pure Love and Light that I AM. Around the middle of the healing you placed your hands over the front and back of my heart…I felt a myriad of feelings but mostly getting out of my own way to "receive" as I am a "giver"! I was humbled by the offering–thank you.
At this point my body felt like it needed to get out of the chair...it was uncomfortable to sit and as I stood I felt these huge wings expanding behind me! I was not startled. I explored what they felt like with my hands reaching behind me and feeling them–really cool…I was thinking how the middle of my back had been bothering me for weeks and realized it was exactly where the wings came through. I sat back down wondering about all of this and you both were finished. Now the sweetest part happened–you went to turn the lights on and as you passed me you placed both your hands on top of my shoulders–I don't know why you did, but it felt very "rich".
I did not share because part of me felt like how do you tell a group of people you just got "Angel Wings"??? and I was a bit confused about it all and needed to process and integrate what happened. The next day, those wings were ever present and I found that I couldn't speak thoughts or perform actions that were not in resonance with the wings–whoa–what a huge responsibility! I "got" that these wings were gifted me to catapult me forward on my destiny path and to serve others. So there you go Dave, another affirmation for the work that you are doing.”

“Hi Dave, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the wonderful class/healing circle you held last Saturday. I can't tell you how much better I am feeling both emotionally and physically. My intention had been for an emotional healing; I had just experienced a very difficult business situation that had left me feeling deeply angry, sad and self-doubting. After Saturday's session, I
...
experienced a rapid lifting and shifting of these heavy, negative emotions and now feel lighter, happier, more hopeful and open. (And, as an added bonus, I'm feeling measurable relief from the stiffness and pain of osteoarthritis that I have in some of my fingers – – boy does it help to let go!) In addition, I'm reading your book "Perspectives..." and so much is clicking into place. Thanks once again for this illuminating and healing experience. Warmest regards.”

“Dave, I loved the healing circle at Jaya yoga and hope you will return to do another. Many thanks for sharing your gifts with us!!! Be well! And thanks again for a wonderful 2 hours of peace and hope.”
– Mary Beth, Yogini at Jaya, Brooklyn, NY
“I enjoyed today’s Healing Circle a lot. It helped me look deep inside and for the first time be able to analyze my own actions. It also helped me validate those that are there in my life instead of being mad at them. Thank you for teaching us how to get to that point where we can get in touch with ourselves.”
– Libby Baron, NYC
“Hi David, I wanted to thank you for having this healing circle. Honestly I did not know what to expect, but it was really cool. I felt happiness and love afterwards. Thanks again for sharing and creating a safe space to heal and I look forward to reading your book.”
– L.M., New Jersey
“I felt an "open" energy immediately upon entering the room. The experience is one of calm centering and clearing away blockage. It is nice to feel and experience a "safe" place where you are honored and honor others.”
– Rebeka B., NYC
“The first thing I saw during the session and continued to see was the image of a bright sun with the words "bright future" on it. I then saw spirits moving their hand about my body to heal me.I remember myself smiling and relaxed the whole time!”
– C. P., Real Estate Broker, New York City
“Participating in the Healing Circle last month in Manhattan was a very exciting and different experience for me. It was an experience of transformation into "an instrument" which was a part of orchestra. Conductors were striving to make a melody while tuning up each "instrument". "Instruments" on their part were doing their best to be up to the task becoming weightless,
...
thoughtless and formless.”

“Dave had healing groups in NYC, I would attend whenever I could and always found them to be healing, informative and creative. He always found an interesting way to engage and get us to allow the healing to take place. I will always be thankful for those experiences.”
– Lena Medina, Licensed Real Estate Agent at Bond New York
“The circle was very palpable to me, in the increased power of the field I sensed when I tuned in. It was wonderful and comforting to feel that the strength of the experience is not in the least diminished by distance (I was comparing this circle to those I had personally attended). This time I had a profound (for me) realization about what a state of receptivity feels like. I want to thank you for that,
...
because it came about as a result of knowing that the circles you facilitate are super powerful. From that came a feeling of childlike expectation that precluded effort or micro-managing of the experience.”

Prior Events and Testimonials
“The healing continued even after yesterday's healing circle. I woke up in the middle of the night to an inner eye vision. I saw you at my right side, at 2 or 3 o'clock, composed of crystal clear conscious light particles. Then a ball of white light descended upon me, followed by a column/waterfall of light and energy that rippled through me. A few minutes later, I felt a great sense of
...
calm, stillness, peace, and centeredness in my heart. Also, when I woke up this morning, my cat Habanero (whom I put in the healing circle) power snuggled with me for the first time in many months! I just registered for one of the Fast Track sessions. I look forward to more healing and awakening. Thank you soooooo much for being on this planet and for doing the work you do!”

“The Tele-Healing Circle was amazing! I had never met or heard of you before, but I always know that I'm where I'm supposed to be. At first it was hard to relax, and I didn't have any music ready to put on, so I just laid back on my bed and was open to receive. The energy came through strong and tangible. I literally felt like my head was being morphed into a new shape. There was
...
strong energy going into my third eye, and the session ended with an overall feeling of peace and tranquility. I was speechless (in a very positive way). Your work is amazing, and I look forward to scheduling a private session in the New Year!”
[ Read more ]“Thanks so much…and boy did, I need it. Clearly when Source told you about the money situation, it was meant for me…So as of today, it's all about me being deserving of it, and using it as a tool and not something bad. I literally felt something lift off my body, around my gut before we got started....and thank you for the acknowledgement about asking, something pretty big for me. I

also…am considering doing a session with you again to just make sure that I tweak what else might be going on.”

“Hi Dave, I really enjoyed being part of the first virtual healing circle last night. It was fun to have people on the call from all over the world, and I think it helped to create a very expansive energy. That was a good exercise too– -very illuminating! Thanks for making this happen!”
– Susan Lander, Medium, NYC
Dear Dave,
Thank you for the circle! It was very blissful to splash around in all that positive energy. AND, a beautiful "coincidence” occurred soon after our call.
My intention had been to open myself to more love–a loving partnership, and any expansion into love on my path in Clown. After we hung up, I was blissfully folding my laundry when it came to me to "not NOT consider playing the role of clown in plays." An idea I had never had. (I am not an actor, etc.) "Plays like King Lear?" I said back to myself, and had a fleeting image of myself on stage in the role of King Lear’s Fool. A little while later, I wandered to my bookshelf, pulled down my Shakespeare (which I hadn’t done in a LONG time) and started reading King Lear. I read for about fifteen minutes, then wandered to my desk and checked my e-mail. There was a message from a person I met ten days ago saying he was putting together a play reading group, and the first play would be KING LEAR.
It turns out that though we’d just met, he was thinking of me for the part, hoping I’d be interested in reading it! Very fun! Obviously, I’ll be saying yes to this–a reminder of the “magic” that unfolds when we are tuned into Source. The Universe loves to play, and extends endless opportunities to help us realize our greatest potential in life. Thank you for initiating us into the divine dynamics of this all-important relationship.”

“After experiencing several of your healing circles in person, I was pleased to find that it was equally as powerful over the phone. During the tele-healing circle, it came to me that a sadness I was feeling was actually bottled up love, and since then, the sadness has dissipated. So thank you, Dave, for the opportunity and help in opening that up”
The Fast Track Healing Program (3-Month Program)
“Fast Track with Dave Markowitz took my healing to the next level. From about two weeks into the program I began noticing subtle shifts in my life and work—more money coming in, feeling less fear, ability to stand in my power, etc. By the end of the program, I had an offer from my dream client, my healing circle was wildly successful and powerful, I completed my novel, I had more money in the bank (and
...
more coming in from random places like cashback on a credit card rewards program!), and more gratitude for my connection to Source and it's ability to provide. I received many messages during my transmissions with Dave, one of which was, ‘Miracles are occurring now.’ Working with Dave is nothing short of a miracle. I highly recommend the Fast Track Healing Program (or any program he offers for that matter) and I look forward to diving in and joining this program again.”
[ Read more ]“Fast Track Healing is rather miraculous. There is no guessing when the healing is ‘happening’ as the energy is strong and powerful. Although it may change some from session to session, it is amazing in its intensity. I had sessions where my body was clearly being healed and things were shifting. I was approached about an additional job from a surprising source
...
after the first week of sessions. And I had a very powerful session in which there were sparkling lights and intense energy, and I felt gratitude for the all that I've been given and have in my life. It felt that by acknowledging what I already have been given, that a release was able to happen to make space for my dreams to flower. I highly recommend Fast Track Healing and would participate in it again myself”

“Fast Track has far exceeded my expectations; I feel more comfortable in my body and my sense of appreciation for life has returned after a long absence. My usual fears have receded and my hope and simple enjoyment of just 'being' have returned. I keep smiling for no reason. I strongly recommend Dave's work. His generosity of spirit and keeping this wonderful healing affordable is second to none. A

HUGE thank you Dave.”

“Dave's Fast Track Healing Program is beautifully orchestrated, wonderful and of quite high vibration. It has supported me in my heart opening and growth and I can truly say that I have a new view on humanity and all life. I am more in awe, more in love, and frequently amazed when I look at humans, and all creatures and the way they love each other. I am being enchanted and it is spectacular as a new spectator
...
on earth. The Fast Track program helped support, calm and center me in making several big decisions during the month: like taking a month to go to Thailand, opening to job opportunities and just take life at a healthier pace. Thank you Dave for your support, foolishness and taking great steps in a little spaces.”
[ Read more ]“Among other things I really felt great Love towards my brother during the Fast Track sessions with Dave, re-experiencing many memories from my childhood. I feel that lately my brother (unknowingly) responded to this Energy of Love. Our communication became much warmer and more open. We are more tuned to each other. Thank you so much for this Experience and much more...”

“I have times where I feel desperate, frustrated and lonely but since I started the FTHP I suddenly have bursts of happiness and hope. A calmness that I can not explain where it comes from. A sense of security within that makes me feel stronger even though I still fear for the unknown. My husband is asking me if I can share this experience with him, he also wants a piece of my smile. I really wanted to say

THANK YOU! Thank you for helping me put a smile back in my life. I hope our paths keep crossing and that someday we get to meet.”

“During the very first session, I had an insight that hadn't occurred to me during years of therapy. Just for that it's been well worth the money. My father died when I was 7 years old after a long illness (tuberculosis). This was in the 1950s. And I was discouraged from talking about it by my family due to that cause of death. This caused me to carry a great burden for
...
many years that culminated in suicidal thoughts at the age of 20. My family really dropped the ball on this but I don't bear a grudge. They meant well and they'd be appalled to know what I went through emotionally and psychologically for many years. ANYWAY, the insight was that I realized I want to be like the girl I was before my father died. Not literally, but emotionally and psychologically healthy which I was before this traumatic event. At that moment of insight I realized that I had been OK all along, and feeling deficient and ashamed of myself was inaccurate to say the least. THIS IS HUGE. I've found a way out that will allow me to deal with my issues like overweight, clutter and not finishing projects, because I no longer identify with them. I feel separate from my problems instead of immersed in them. I feel free!”

“I loved each session and it was such a good meditation experience. I felt tingling all the time and often got chills; I know I was taking in energy and at times I had a good cry. I and others have noticed a change in me and a shift in energy. My biggest lessons in this experience were to silence the critic in me and to love myself more, which are huge. I will also share with you that meeting

you has changed my life and was perfect timing on my path at this time. I feel honored and blessed by your gifts.”

“The fast track program has certainly been that. During mediations I have experience intense energy moving through my body. And on various occasions I have ‘seen’ light patterns and visions. But in my daily life, the healing and moving energy has continued. Things have shifted in many aspects of my life. It's been an amazing experience.”

“Being a part of the Living Guidance group has been transformational for me. I've been amazed at how safe and supported I feel by this group. From the very first meeting, you could sense a vitally strong, loving spiritual energy and power that lifted all of us. The level of trust and support has allowed me to reach places of vulnerability and awakening that are spurring a spiritual growth in

“The 3-month program has been an incredibly powerful force in my life and my path. I have learned from the experiences and the journeys of others in the group what is also true of my own journey. I have felt the strength of the combined energy transform and open the process for each person in the group. Over the time the group has met, I have felt each of us open and strengthen in a tangible way.
...
When one of us struggles, we all learn from the unraveling and healing of the struggle and a part of it resonates with in each of us; the universal struggle. Each week it has been a priceless experience toward being and becoming. I highly recommend it and hope that more people will join in this great adventure of love and growth.”

“I have begun to open up on a whole new level, and really started to listen to my what my internal guidance is telling me. Our internal guidance is very strong and is always communicating with us. The challenge for me was to get "out of my mind" and into my heart. I feel that I have been given more tools in order for me to listen more actively to what my body is telling me, and I am very

grateful for that experience. I have also enjoyed listening to others experiences and watching them grow in a supportive environment. We each seem to learn from each other and it promotes our own spiritual growth.”

How to Communicate with Source
“I witnessed some amazing synchronicities and healing energy moving about the room. When the floor opened to participants to “go deep,” the fact that the first person to stand up and talk about her holocaust-surviving mother supported another woman who was (now) able to explain this M.O. from her experience could not have been coincidental. They learned from each other and we ALL learned from

“Hi Dave, this is Joanna from San Diego. I want to give you the conclusion of the 'sore arm' that we worked with. I continued to have some residual pain for the next couple of days. It was about 50% better. I gave some more attention to wondering why it only hurt when I was using the hand to exert some force, like a door knob, sink faucet, picking things up. I contemplated the aspect of force and/or
...
power. Didn't really have any aha insights yet the next day the pain was completely gone...What I learned from that is how quickly we humans adapt and go on auto pilot and how quickly pain can go from an acute response to chronic.So now I am pain free and not guarding. Thank you so very much. I am truly grateful and blessed.”

Words cannot express how grateful I am for an immediate change your magic touch did and unlimited amount of energy you gave me. I'm still running

“Dave presents a unique perspective on healing that is energizing and empowering–positively life transforming.
