 I was having a lot of aches and pains that I hadn't thought about or worried about for years. It all came back and I was desperate. I could feel my energy was low. I didn't understand. I knew my concentration was really poor. I was working on a novel at the time and had the worst writer's block for at least six months. I couldn't write. I was a struggling, anxious writer and through brain education I unlocked my infinite creativity. Aloha! My name is Jen Angely and I am the Center Director at the Body and Brain Energy Healing Center here in Manoa on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. When I was younger, my mother died when I was a month old and I was sent to Hawaii. I was actually born in Los Angeles. When my father remarried, I moved in with him and my stepmother who was a six-foot-one, very angry alcoholic woman who used to pretty much hit me all the time. Severely as well as emotionally told me I wasn't worthy and I wasn't smart enough or good enough and so I believed a lot of these things. So growing up I had a lot of self-worth issues and I also suffered from ADD. Being an only child, I found a lot of comfort in reading and then writing which actually set the pace for kind of what I do now as well. When I was in my 40s, my dad and my mom here in Hawaii became sick. Actually, my mom had Alzheimer's. She got Alzheimer's and my dad started to take care of her but because all the filters came off when she got to mention Alzheimer's, she started getting angry again and this time she's angry at my dad. And even now when I came home to the house I can still see areas where she threw things against the wall. So in 2015, I came back to take care of my parents and help my dad and three weeks from my arrival, he passed away. I started really falling apart. Coming back into my childhood home, my body remembered the trauma that I suffered and suddenly my body started, my hip became dysplasic. I was just having a lot of aches and pains that I hadn't thought about or worried about for years. It all came back and I was desperate. I could feel my energy was low. I didn't understand. I knew my concentration was really poor. I was working on a novel at the time and I had the worst writer's block for at least six months. I couldn't write, which was really frustrating because I was on the last third part of my book. And so I knew that I had to do some type of some kind of body maintenance. I looked up on Google, Yoga and I found this place called Body and Brain. And I was like, I have those things. Maybe I should check it out. I decided I was going to just trust and sign up, see where this took me. That was my introduction to brain education. I had a lot of stomach issues and I didn't sleep well. In fact, for 46 years, I had insomnia. So I could only sleep a couple hours and then I would basically caten out through the night. As I continued on my journey, taking the workshops, unburdening a lot of that fear and a lot of that angst that I held on to, my digestion improved, especially through belly button healing with this belly button healing wand, which is my favorite tool. And also my sleep improved. That was a big game changer for me. In order for me to be able to continue writing, I needed my brain to be healthy. And so by getting my body healthy, my brain began to not have to worry about taking care of so many things. And I started learning how to quiet my mind through meditation. And so I was able to complete my novel and then get it published. It's actually at a couple of the museums here in Hawaii, as well as on Amazon. And for me, that was a big accomplishment because I've always wanted to be a writer and was told at an early age by my stepmom. I couldn't be a writer. And once I did that, it really opened me up to what else can I do? And then the opportunity came up to be an energy healer. I didn't know what that meant, but I know it sounded really right for me. My favorite brain education principle is where your mind goes, your energy follows. And so in watching that, we practice it, you know, even within our bodies, trying to pay attention to a certain part of your body and then pretty soon you feel a lot more sensation in that area. But then even looking at how we spend our focus outwardly. What I would love to tell my old self is you can do anything you dream of. So dream big. I was a struggling, anxious writer. And through brain education, I unlocked my infinite creativity. And now sky is the limit.
