A Few Of Chase’s Healing Experiences: In his own words.

(Listen to this in Chase’s voice)

I remember my mother telling me that when I was born, I was badly bow-legged. My family has a history of degenerative hip disease and I was the 4th child, so orthopedic complications were  familiar. Yet this was different.  My parents took me to several specialists and all of them said that there was nothing they could do for my legs and I would be bow-legged for life. My dad said that you could roll a basketball between my legs.

My mother was not satisfied with the doctors’ prognosis, and when she heard about an old lady who did hands-on healing, she took me to her. This was somewhat of a forbidden territory, as my mother is a fundamentalist minister’s daughter. She did not tell her parents or my dad at the time that she took me to this healer, but she wanted my legs to be straight prior to school because she did not want the kids to make fun of me. The old lady took me to a back room and worked on me for about an hour, according to my mother.  When the session was over, the healer said that my legs would be straight before I started school. She also said that  I would work in the healing arts. My mother didn’t notice any change in my legs at the time, and left feeling confused. But my legs straightened out before I entered first grade, and  I ran track in high school and did quite well.  It wasn’t until I was working at a local hospital as an orthopedic technician that my mother told me the entire story of my early experience with the healer.

As an adult, I married and had two children. I was in the air force and planned to make it a career. Among other jobs, I was a counselor and worked with many airman and their families with various problems. I was also an aspiring fundamental Baptist youth minister.

Then, after 11 years in the air force, I had a sudden death experience at a Christmas party. In fact, I was the first person on record to survive sudden death.  After two years of exploration and testing, I was released from the air force. During the testing process I had several near death/sudden death experiences, and went through “the tunnel” multiple times. During my journeys via the tunnel, I received a great deal of information about my future. However, at the time I thought I had dreamt it and did not want to apply it to my life on a conscious level, and so did not share it with many people. It was scary enough with what I had to deal with,  let alone what I had seen and heard. The doctors did not give me very good odds to live as they did not know how to fix me and could not heal me. I was given a year to live. Needless to say, we all felt very frustrated. For the first year, I simply resigned myself to die even though it did not feel right.

When a year had passed and I didn’t die, I went back to college and finished my undergraduate and graduate degrees. It was then that I got clearer pictures of what I was suppose to do with my remaining life, or so I thought:  as a social worker, I counseled many patients about their future and worked a great deal with the terminally ill and the elderly.

After seeing patient after patient pass away with traditional methodology, I started to learn more and more about non-traditional healing modalities. I also taught at two major universities for several years, at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.

Several years of integration and training in integrative healing arts passed quickly. But then I had another spiritual and emotional awakening: My son was 15 years old when he was struck by a car as he and a few friends were walking along the side of a country road on a messy, dark, rainy November evening. I was about an hour away from him at that time, and was not told how badly he was hurt. I was just told to come to the hospital. However, while driving to the hospital his essence came to me, and I knew he had passed. I asked the friend who was driving me to the hospital to observe the time, as Rick had just left. His death certificate stated the time of  his death as the same time that I saw him.  Knowing the moment he passed and witnessing this event increased my confidence in the powers beyond what our conventional system tells us about. Further, his essence filled me with compassion and love for all others.

Through a combination of personal experiences and my professional work, it became clear to me that I was to focus my work in the healing arts on a broader level.  My current focus is the study of the vibrational sound and its healing effect on the body/ soul continuum. It is both my belief and life experience that the body tends to want to heal, rejuvenate itself and restore itself to a state of mental health. We need to be open to that healing. By listening to the soothing and calming vibrational sounds even when, and sometimes especially when, under stress and agitation, the body learns to slow down and ground itself in calmness. With repetition, the body remembers how to shift itself from a state of agitation to a state of calm. The body remembers how it can bring itself to re-experience disturbing memories or painful experiences in a state of calm.
