Episode #148 VOD Tyler Gines Awakening to Energy: A Modern Medicine Man's Path to Healing
Tyler Gines' journey from corporate success to spiritual transformation reveals how life's greatest challenges can unlock our deepest gifts. Once the youngest sales leader and most sought-after escrow officer in Utah, Tyler had achieved the American dream by age 27 – six-figure income, dream homes, luxury cars – yet something was clearly missing.
The universe has mysterious ways of guiding us toward our true path. For Tyler, it began with an owl hooting in the middle of a city and a green orb appearing in a photograph – what he would later learn was a portal to the spiritual realm and one of his spiritual guides. But the catalyst that cracked his heart wide open was the unexpected loss of his beloved French bulldog. This profound grief led him to Byron Bay, Australia, a place of deep spiritual wisdom, where through breathwork he processed his pain and discovered his readiness for Reiki.
"I'm a firm believer that we're not really learning a new skill, we're remembering what we've had in the past," Tyler shares, describing how his spiritual gifts unfolded not as new acquisitions but as homecoming to his true nature. This philosophy fueled his rapid expansion into multiple healing modalities – becoming a Reiki master teacher in Usui, Tibetan, and Holy Fire lineages, an animal communicator, a hypnotherapist, and more.
Through his work with leaders and visionaries, Tyler bridges ancient wisdom with modern transformation techniques. He challenges common misconceptions about intuitive healing, particularly the false dichotomy between spirituality and religion. "Spirituality and religion are two different things," he explains. "You can be spiritual and religious – it really just depends on your definition."
Tyler's approach to life embodies what he playfully calls "bougie, but make it spiritual" – the belief that abundance and spirituality can beautifully coexist. Through his animal communication practice (which he brands as "The Louis Vuitton of animal communication"), Reiki sessions, NLP training, and upcoming program teaching people to reconnect with their psychic gifts, Tyler creates spaces for others to remember who they truly are.

Speaker 2:Thank you so much for having me, tracy. I'm excited to be here, and thank you everyone for who's listening.
Speaker 1:Wonderful, so I cannot wait to begin our journey here and to find out more about you so right before our going live here. We talked about, and we seem to have a lot of things in common, so I can't wait. So, tyler, tell us a little bit about yourself.
Speaker 2:Yes, absolutely so. My name is Tyler. I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, utah, and currently reside here, and in 2019, I kind of started to discover that I wanted more in my life. I was working in corporate, I was the youngest sales leader and I was the most sought-after escrow officer here in Utah. By the time I was 22, I had cleared six figures. And then I had also now purchased three dream homes by the time I was 27. Sorry, not 23. I wish I was 23 or 27,. Sorry, not 23. I wish I was 23, 27. And then I had actually driven all three of my dream cars by that age as well, and the last one had been it's paid off and it's been my favorite car since I bought it, obviously because it was a dream.
Speaker 2:In 2020, obviously the world shut down and we were all kind of forced to go inside and kind of start to learn how to get uncomfortable with or sit in the discomfort and be comfortable with it. I didn't know really what was preparing, and in 2020, my friend was like, hey, let's do 75 hard. So I was like, okay, I'm in Cool, great, whatever. And on one of my walks I was outside, in the middle of a city and there was an owl hooting at me. I've never seen an owl in the middle of a city that way, and so I grabbed my phone and I take a picture and there's this giant green orb and I was like, oh, this must be like something really cool. Of course I didn't know what was going on at that point, but I was like, oh, it's a sign, because everything's a sign.
Speaker 1:Of course.
Speaker 2:And I was like, okay, cool, great. So I looked up like what an owl meant. And then the green orb. And the green orb was a portal into the spiritual realm and I was like, okay, and then I ended up doing like a card reading with somebody I wish she still did readings because she was so good and she actually told me an owl is one of my guides. So then, fast forward to 2021 and I'm out of town for a weekend and I had rescued two dogs in 2019. They were French bulldogs, threw them on my vision board. I was like cool, this is going to happen, ended up with two of them two weeks later that I had rescued.
Speaker 2:And so in 2021, after I had done this um 75 hard, about six to eight months later, I was out of town and one of my dogs was hit and killed by a car and I was like, okay, so that cracked open a whole new level of what in the world is happening. And so I had to sit in that discomfort once again after the world. I had just started to get back to normal, feeling normal after being like closed in, and in that moment, obviously, my heart was like torn apart and I was like, okay, so then fast forward a little bit further, into February of 2022, I get an email from Delta saying, hey, australia is open for visitors. Now I don't know if anybody's ever been to Australia, but Australia holds some pretty spiritual wisdom in this. And then I don't know if they call them States or cities. It's a city to me, but Byron Bay, okay, and beforehand I had actually I was like, oh, I need to go register and take a Reiki course. So I mentioned it to one of my real estate clients. Sure enough, of course, everything lines up and I'm enrolled in a Reiki course and I was supposed to do it before I went to Australia.
Speaker 2:Old in a Reiki course, and I was supposed to do it before I went to Australia. Well, my Reiki master broke her foot. I was like what in the world? So I was like, okay, so I go to Australia.
Speaker 2:I find that in Byron Bay, as I process my dog's passing and the grief through breath work in Byron Bay, the most spiritual place at that point for me and I realized, oh, I had to go through this process first to actually understand the energy of Reiki. So then I got home and literally like a week or two later I was in the Reiki course, becoming a Reiki practitioner of one and two, and I was like, oh my gosh, this is incredible, and I'm a firm believer that we're not really learning a new skill, we're remembering that we've had in the past, right. So it was just really cool to like reconnect with that. And then, since I've now become a Reiki master teacher, I have those 14, actually there's 15 coaching certifications. Now I just got another one. If I, I probably need a certificate from the universe that says no more certificates. I am certified to work with people with ptsd, addiction and trauma.
Speaker 2:Over 500 hours of training wow it has been a journey since, obviously my dog and now holding actually four, um, or I've got two, or I've got the reiki one and two placements for yosui, tibetan, plus the three and master. I also have, yes, uh, yosui holy fire one and two, and then also just recently attuned to yosui holy fire three and master beautiful. So I have lots of energy flowing through my hands. But for me, reiki was almost like a gateway drug that's the best way to describe this Because, like you said before, it's almost like a launching pad that you land on and that launching pad for me it opened up so many different portals and like these little rabbit holes that you can go down. Now I'm fully initiated in huna, which is an ancient hawaiian energy. I'm an animal communicator, which that that's a story in of itself and how that like actually unlocked. But when we truly stand in our essence and our own power and drop the masks of who we think we should be, it's like a whole new world.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's beautiful, isn't it?
Speaker 2:It's so beautiful.
Speaker 1:Well, first of all, I'm sorry for the loss of your dog. That's always an upsetting thing, I mean. Our pets are our family, I mean. But how beautiful that you turn that into going and being of service for others. But I always kind of look, as Reiki is. You know, you're climbing up those steps, those ladder, to the high dive right and you're looking down at the water and Reiki is giving you that little nudge, that little bit of courage to just dive off, to land in that pool and just have an amazing adventure and just enjoy being in the water.
Speaker 1:So so many opportunities out there that it can lead to. So if you go and explore Reiki and it's just not your just right, keep going. There's so many different systems out there, as you had mentioned as well. You know Tibetan and Holy Fire and you might feel that just right energy for you. And it's so subjective too, because you and I could take the same course, right, and you're like this is amazing and I'm like I don't feel anything. What are you talking about? You're levitating, yep, oh, my goodness, so intuitive healing. When did this intuitive healing come into your life? Did you find it or did it find you?
Speaker 2:I would say it probably found me. I kind of had dabbled in like intuitiveness, like I remember going and getting my first tarot reading before I turned 21. And I was like, oh, this is cool. And then I found myself kind of like, yeah, whatever. And then obviously finding crystal shops and going in. And then I was like, okay, we're done playing in the crystal realm. And then I go back to the tarot reader and then I'm like, okay. So then it kind of all of a sudden start. I'm like looking back, I'm thinking there. Really I think I've had it for a really long time.
Speaker 2:Um, I remember as a kid I would run up the stairs from my grandma and grandpa's basement because there were people that were trying to get me, because I think they were curious that they knew I could see them. Yeah Well, that scared the living hell out of me. I was like, nope, not doing it. And so now, like those intuitive nudges like hey, come on, come back to who you are, come back to who you are, you know this. So I don't know if I'd say if I found it or if they found me. I feel like it's always been within me, it's I've just had to go in and rediscover who I am Right, and in that power.
Speaker 1:Right. And then you have that culturally created self that society puts on you. I remember when I was very young and I went to like my first tarot reading, I felt like I was committing like a moral sin, right. It was like, oh my goodness, we don't want anybody to find this out. And I went to someone also who was a palm reader and I was like didn't want to tell anybody, you know. And then now it's like, ah, it's all good.
Speaker 2:Totally. I remember as a kid, driving down the street from my grandma's house to my house we lived relatively close and there's a building and it's called psychic advisors and I asked I remember asking my dad what's a psychic? As if I didn't already know. But in this age I'm curious. I'm like, okay, like what is this? And when he's like, oh, that's people who, like, see the future. We don't really go see them, because I grew up in a religion that is very much against having gifts and being psychic and seeing and feeling and hearing and knowing and trusting yourself primarily. And so I remember asking him and he told me obviously now I'm really stepping back into, because I was like I knew what that was, I just didn't know how to like explain it, cause, again, it's, we're remembering everything that we it's not ever learning something new, it's remembering. So, at that space, coming back into the earth after who knows how many lifetimes, I was like, oh, okay, I think I can, I can jive with that and so, yeah, just having that, those little moments.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I remember like Saturdays my mom would wake me up very early and I wanted to stay home and watch cartoons because we didn't have all the channels that we have now Right and go into the drive to the mall and she would go into a bookstore and she would go right off to that Christian section and I would go into the astrology and she'd get really upset, like don't, you're not supposed to get out of here. And she'd find me looking at these books and I was just so curious, and even as a kid, when I think back, you know we called them the cootie catchers. You know the little things where you pick the color, you know the number and then the magic eight ball Like oh, you're gonna, you're gonna marry this guy, you know, and have three children in the suburbs.
Speaker 2:Yes, I and mash like I don't know if you ever really did mash, but it was mansion apartment, um shack or hut, and then you'd write like four names down and then yeah.
Speaker 1:Did the little columns?
Speaker 2:like that way.
Speaker 1:Oh, I forgot all about those, those, but yes, I could never make them, but I do remember those yeah, I remember I was like a pro at it, so I was the one in the class that I would just here we go like color it and put the things on. Yeah, I love that there were signs there were definitely signs how did we?
Speaker 1:miss the side, I don't know Right right. And then also when you said about how like things would follow you in the home, it made me flashback to when I was little. I would see like I guess spirit dogs, and I guess my grandparents were like I thought I was talking to dogs and they just thought like I wanted a dog. But I, you know, today I have like six Cavalier King Charles. I've always had these dogs around me for the last 12 years. But as a little kid I had these dogs and this is really going to age me. I guess they had some type of like leash that kind of was hard, that you can imagine. You had a dog, it was some type of play one and they bought me one of those and like, go walk your imaginary dog, tracy. And of course, here I am, because it was this stiff type of leash that had a little thing for like the harness for the dog and so, yeah, and they bought me one of those.
Speaker 2:So that brings up so many memories for me. As you say that I'm sitting here, I'm like, oh my gosh, I remember I would put in a bowl kicks, the cereal kicks in a bowl and a water dish. So I actually just did a social media post about this because, obviously, the animal communication and like sharing my sessions. But I remember there was this one time when I was like in kindergarten and the chickens were so cool and watching them hatch and being a part of that, well, I tried to hatch a refrigerator egg and that the key word. That doesn't work. And then I so, after I did that, I was like, okay, I could never have animals that weren't in a cage. They all had to be fish or they had to be hermit crabs. I could never have dogs, but I too had imaginary dogs. I also had imaginary kids and my imagination. So thank you for bringing that memory back up. Like that was so fun to reminisce that.
Speaker 1:Isn't that funny? Yeah, and another one that I used to do like pretend play. It was always like like I own things, like I was an owner and like I would put little cards on the door and say like it was an apartment like 2B or 2C, and I would be like I own an Airbnb we didn't have Airbnbs then, but you know, like a little bed and breakfast and I was like knocking on people's doors and like I was the and I had a psychic tell me you were a land baroness in another life.
Speaker 2:I mean tell me, that doesn't track.
Speaker 1:I know this is something else. Me that doesn't track. I know this is something else. So lots of certifications. You've worked really hard. You're out there. You're sharing your gift with so many people. What are some of the misconceptions that you find about intuitive healing?
Speaker 2:That's a great question. A lot of people think that they, like a lot of people, blend spirituality and religion together and I'm like okay, first of all, spiritually, spirituality and religion are two different things. You can be spiritual and be religious. It really just depends on your definition. So that is one of the biggest misconceptions is, oh, I'm not spiritual, like, my religion doesn't allow that. And it's like well, you're allowed to go in and create your own definition of spirituality and you can follow that religion. Um, so that one's been one of the biggest ones.
Speaker 2:Because if you people always say like, oh, that's too woo woo, but really like, why is woo woo even a word? Because if you think about woo-woo, it's just energy and everything is energy. The chairs we're sitting on are energy, our computers are energy, I am energy, you are energy, money is energy. So let's take that freaking word out and throw it in the trash, because woo-woo is not a thing. And so when people say like, oh, that's too woo-woo, it's like okay, well, I understand that it's woo-woo, but it's energy actually. So, no, that doesn't work. Sure, the other one is a lot of people. The biggest misconceptions is well, I'm not intuitive like you. I do believe that everyone has an intuition. It is not something that we have to like. It's not something we learn how to. It's something we learn how to do, but it's not something that we just earn. Basically, it's not a batch Like. We all have an intuition. We just have to take those steps in order to reclaim and reconnect with our intuition.
Speaker 1:Sure yeah.
Speaker 2:So many of us walk around based on our past conditioning, the way we've been raised, like I, like I was disconnected from mine, growing up in a religion that's like, no, you don't listen to you and trust yourself. And I was like, okay, now I'm really leaning into it and it's astrologically, um, I'm a cancer rising in a Pisces sun and an Aries moon. So I'm very I have a lot of water. I know Aries is fire, but I have a lot of water. Water is very intuitive, very spiritual, and so now I'm just really reclaiming and going back into who I truly am.
Speaker 2:So anybody who's out there, that's like I don't know if that's for me. It's like, well, just find that one thing that really lights you up. At first it could be human design, it could be freaking astrology, it could be tarot cards or Oracle cards, it could be literally freaking Buddha. It's like I remember the first time I found a Buddha and then, all of a sudden, it's like, oh my gosh, this is so cool. And then here I am I've got 15 certifications, I've got hypnotherapy, I've got Reiki, I've got coaching. So it really is just about remembering who you are and getting out of your own way.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I get it too the other way, where people will say that I'm not religious, they'll say like, well, this isn't of God, and then get on me like you need to go to church and I'm like I have a relationship with God, right, I mean, I kind of color myself religious and spiritual as well, and you can be both. You are able to get this with the yoga as well. Like, oh, that's not of God. Well, when I'm in connection with that, that's who I'm connecting with. You know, I'm not thinking of anything else other than, you know, being in that moment, being in the present moment, being grateful, you know, and through prayer, and that's so individual and I think that's why Holy Fire resonated with me. It's not religious, but you can bring in God, holy Spirit, if you like. It's that choice up to you with it.
Speaker 1:So if it's something a matter of finding that particular healer, everyone's going to be different. There's some that are going to work with archangels, angels. They'll bring in Jesus, they'll bring in Buddha, they'll maybe say, a God of your own understanding. So it's just a matter of finding that particular practitioner. But we're so kind of umbrellaed under nope, you have to be this pagan, which there's nothing wrong with being pagan, right, but you have to be like, oh my goodness, you're going to go to hell.
Speaker 1:But isn't this the same concept of what Jesus did and the disciples did as they walked the earth? It was about love, it was about service. So this is what this is. I'm not claiming that when I touch you, you will rise up and walk right, no, I've got water. And I mean, yes, miracles happen every day. But I think it's just the understanding that this is just a wonderful healing modality that can help you with your stress, and something that's wonderful to walk along the side of what your primary caregiver has for you know, for you, for your medical plan. So it's not going against anything and respecting free will. So when they come and like, just look at the word Nope, that's not for me, okay.
Speaker 2:Okay, right, it's all about that discernment. And back in January we actually went to um this I oh the human evolution of consciousness in San Diego and we heard Greg Braden talk and Greg Braden has gone in and actually scientifically, our DNA actually is coded that says I am God Sure In our DNA. So it's really like your definition is perfect, like it it could be God, it could be universe, it could be source.
Speaker 2:Like whatever is an alignment for you is perfect. And when you go in and kind of start to look at like scientifically, like we're all just here trying to figure out how source sees us, we all came to individuate and we're all learning through this thing that we all decided was a good idea to come, and experience was life as a human, I don't know who in the world thought that was a good idea, especially right now. So it's just really cool. Like when you go and look at the scientific behind it your DNA, say like I am God that is so powerful and it like blew my mind to see, like oh, okay, and the way he calculated it. I was like I'm not a scientist, I'm not a chemist, I'm not a physicist, like nope, not for me. But I was like that is really cool.
Speaker 1:Right Prior to, kind, of the arrival of Holy Fire. I believe it came about in 2014. So this was a few years before I taught at a Christian school. So I taught transitional kindergarten and during the morning time we would do our Bible verses, tell a Bible story. We would do our Bible verses, tell a Bible story and in through the resource room I found a very I mean and I want to say all because it was from the 60s and it was the coloring was so kind of dull a little bit and it showed visuals of different kind of scenes from the Bible and I was teaching the ascension of youension, of Jesus going back into heaven after he had been crucified and died, and this particular picture, I was just so taken by it because as he went up into the heaven, he gave everyone little fires, little flames, little holy fires, and you could see the disciples as he's up in heaven, going to heaven with the fire, and that always stuck with me and it was that idea that I'm leaving part of God within you, god is within you, and that kind of resonates what you story, that you shared, and so when holy fire came along, in that connection it made me remember that fire within this, that flame within us.
Speaker 1:So that's what I kind of always remember when I think of you. Know we have this within us and it's a gift that we're sharing with the world.
Speaker 2:Totally yeah. It's so crazy to like see how everything is so interconnected Exactly.
Speaker 1:So helping others on your journey, being of service, helping with transformations. But what has been the biggest challenge or struggle you faced in your own healing journey?
Speaker 2:Oh man, when do I begin? That seems like a long timeline. I think one of the hardest parts for me was really it's when I lost my dog. Um, it's so fascinating because in the past, like I've gone through and like I was abused during my parents' divorce because it was like he said, she said type of um. Well, I remember I had cut my mom off at 19 just because I was like. I remember I had cut my mom off at 19 just because I was like nope, we're not doing this anymore. I've now since healed that, but when I so in 2019, I actually had a near death experience and I had a 17 year old girl come across three lanes of traffic and T-bone me.
Speaker 2:I veered to the right, so it wasn't a head on, but I don't remember to the right. Um, so it wasn't a head on, but I don't remember. I remember seeing like white lights after, like as this happened, and then all of a sudden I wake up and I'm like pushing the airbags out of my face, but then I'm not injured and it was on my side, on the driver's side, Like I had a little scratch right here in the third eye area. You can't tell me, that's not weird. And then I just had a bruise like from the seatbelt, and then my shins were bruised from the shin airbag and a melted jacket. But when I was lifted out of the car I was like okay, I had the opportunity to turn my life around and I started to listen.
Speaker 2:But the minute that I found so, when my dog ran off, obviously like you don't really know how to prepare for that, Sure, and you never really expected to happen. And then all of a sudden I get home from vacation and I jump into action because I'm like, oh my gosh, I don't know what to do. So I like almost dissociated, because I was stressed. I was like find her, find her, find her. And so I went to Walmart, grabbed some ink from my printer, printed pictures like hey, lost, I'm willing to give a reward, whatever. That night, I remember I could not sleep. I woke up the next morning feeling horrible. I felt worse than I did with when I had influenza as a kid.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 2:I ran to the bathroom. I couldn't eat, I like threw up but there was nothing in my stomach. Because I lost my appetite and in that moment, because the grief had started to like encapsulate me like I didn't sleep, I didn't know what was going on, I didn't know where she was, encapsulate me Like I didn't sleep, I didn't know what was going on, I didn't know where she was, like she had saved my life and then I had. I got home from work that night, I don't know what in the hell I was thinking. Why did I go to work? Probably because I didn't know what to do. I should have spent time looking for her. And so, of course, like there's the guilt that I've carried through, but I'm like, oh my gosh, like I should have looked for her that night.
Speaker 2:I had taken a bath to just calm down, and then my neighbor is calling me and I'm like okay, like I didn't hear my phone. So she rings my doorbell. I fell asleep on my bed in a towel. That's how I felt. I felt dead inside. All of a sudden, she's calling me and I hear the doorbell and she's like hey, my sister found Stella and.
Speaker 2:I was like okay, I got up, I like immediately, like I was like cool, she's right.
Speaker 2:Like I, I wasn't expecting her to be gone yeah and I was like, okay, let me grab a sheet just so I can take her into the hospital and get her fixed and whatever, like I was willing to spend as much money as I needed and she goes, she's not here. And so she actually drove up there to where she was not very far from my house, it was just on a busy road and I remember getting in the car and she went up there with me and they actually didn't want me to see her because, she had been split open and I, so I actually never got to have that final goodbye.
Speaker 2:So, in that moment. I've had to learn how to almost heal myself from that traumatic event and I've had to go in and I've had to really learn how to nurture myself, be okay, to lean on for support, Having your dog like the next year, my other one that I had rescued, actually right Two months after I got home from Australia like I know, she was here to help me process that.
Speaker 2:And I only told her the one to go first. But yeah literally 14 months later, I had to assist the other one across. Yeah, literally 14 months later, I had to assist the other one across and I in those moments like that one I could prepare for.
Speaker 2:Nobody can prepare you for the amount of pain and suffering that you actually are going through. If you have a dog hit and killed by a car, that is your shoulder, sure. Having that crack me open myself to receive the love and the support and the help was huge. Now it was a very emotional, like I. It was very emotional then. I actually still have moments like I'll go and as the animal communicator, like because I had one and I didn't know that was inside of me before, but I had one before. I assisted the other one, but now I actually have I know they're creating magic from the other side. They've helped me find my fiance, they've helped me get to where I'm at today and allowing me to step into the gift of the communication, the animal communicator. But the other day I went in and did a video about those two Um cause there's this trend on social media that's like, oh, they don't know this yet, right? But so I went in and that and I cried for like 30 minutes and we're coming up on four years in May.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Fascinating because we actually are going to Australia for a spiritual retreat and it just so happens to be over her anniversary. I was there for her first year anniversary and I'll be there for her fourth and it's she has completely cumulated and created this magical life of which I'm living right now. But because I rescued those two dogs from my like they were on my vision board and because I rescued those two dogs from my like they were on my vision board, and because I rescued them and then they like helped pull me out, like they held my heart in the darkest moments, and now I'm like oh, I see the magic you're creating.
Speaker 2:And I remember in my communication session when I was about to help the other one cross, I heard or they said you're about to step onto a rocket ship and I was like, what in the hell does that?
Speaker 1:mean.
Speaker 2:Oh, I got it. I got it. A couple of years later I was like, oh, this is what you meant, because then it led me to becoming this coach. And I found a podcast, actually just right after she passed that changed my life. I was like, oh my gosh, I could become a life coach. Sure, becoming a life coach it's like becoming a real estate agent. Everybody thinks they can do it.
Speaker 2:Right right Now that I've been in it, I'm like, yeah, I don't know if I really want to be the coach Sure, other things but I found this podcast changed my life. Then I found myself at Tony Robbins meeting all of these life coaches. I was like, oh, another sign. Found myself in, registered for a NLP certification, went through my first breakthrough, ended up getting a single family home through the breakthrough. And then the guy's like, hey, I can't help you get where you want. I'm going to transfer you over to these people to find my fiance. There you go. I was like, oh, then, even when I was in Australia, I heard this is my last solo trip. Sure, sure enough. Literally, that was in May. The following April, like almost a year later, I'm with my person, like now I'm engaged, like we're living our life together and traveling the world. So that little dog, or those little dogs I should say, had created. I'm like, oh, this is the rocket ship you were talking about.
Speaker 2:I went through and accelerated my growth and my healing healed so fast, I mean almost like again, 15 coaching certifications in two years is kind of a little insane, I don't know who. I thought that was a good idea, but as like I'm certified to train in NLP, that was a good idea, but as like I'm certified to train in NLP, like I'm an NLP trainer now. So I've gone all the way through advanced trauma, ptsd, addiction that is the rocket ship they were talking about. My life accelerated. So this little being is creating all of this magic. And it all started because I was like oh, I'm going to do Reiki Well.
Speaker 1:thank you for sharing that and congratulations on your engagement. How wonderful, it's an amazing story. I love it. I love it. It just shows you. You never know where the universe is going to take you, but you led with an open heart. How beautiful, and look at and look at the blessings all around you.
Speaker 2:Totally.
Speaker 1:So, when it is time for you to get an energetic tune-up, what are you looking for in an intuitive healer?
Speaker 2:Okay, that is a great question. So I want somebody, that number one, I feel safe with. I don't want to just go to some random person and you never know what type of energy somebody is carrying. Now I'm also training under a shaman who trained under another shaman for 30 years, so I'm being attuned to shamanic energy right now. So I'm like a sponge once again. I'm like again I don't know who in the world thought that I was like, okay, let's go do all these things. But being attuned to that, like I have to be careful if people's frequencies are not where I, where mine is at, it is a little bit harder and I don't know what kind of energy I'm actually pulling in.
Speaker 2:So, number one, trust your intuition when going to be attuned or getting that tune up, because you want to make sure, number one, you're in alignment with yourself. But you want to make sure it's in alignment with your Reiki practitioner or your intuitive healer, because if you are not going to be in alignment, then who knows what that's going to open up for you. It's all about that discernment and knowing what's right and what's wrong and being in that true alignment for yourself. So for me, when I got like, I remember my neighbor who found my dog. She was a Reiki practitioner and at first, like I was a little skeptical. Um, I was like, okay, so then I did, I dipped my toe in and then she ended up doing a couple sessions for me, which but it's always about checking in and making sure that it's number one in alignment for myself. But am I aligned with the person or intuitive healer I'm going to visit Because I don't want to be attaching myself to any energy that's not for me. And so being able to discern that, because if you're not in alignment, who knows like, if you know like, you're going to have that hit and you're going to be like, oh, I got it.
Speaker 2:So those energy attunements or those tune-ups for me, I'm all about checking in with my intuition. But I always say when the student's ready, the teacher appears. And I'm a firm believer in that. Your intuitive healers are those teachers. If you have one and that all of a sudden just appears in your life, odds are you're supposed to be, there's a reason that you're being brought together. I don't just go actively seeking intuitive healers. I don't actively go and seek tarot readings. I did at one point. Now I'm not so very, I'm not. I get all my tarot readings from TikTok and Instagram, yeah.
Speaker 1:And there's nothing wrong with that, because this is a teachable moment too, I think, as the healing journey. You know, we go and we reach out and we go through that little phase where we're going to all the card readers and we're going to all the psychics and then we kind of get to a point that we're like, yeah, we don't need that We'll, we'll trust our own intuition and then moving forward, but yeah, I do the same thing. I go on Tik TOK and you know, see the tea. It's just fascinating to me because there's such a variety out there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I remember. So before I met my fiance there was this video on TikTok and it said somebody needs to pack their bags, somebody's going to be traveling a lot, literally. After I saw that video I was like I was gone for the first two years of my relationship with my partner. We were gone at least once a month. Wow, if, and it was like longer times, like I it was. I was like I remember that TikTok video. So there are people out there that like I don't. I don't know if I've ever seen that person again since. Sure, Like.
Speaker 2:I guess I just needed that one video and then I wish I could go back and find it and be like so remember this video. Like this was two years ago. Pack your bags it and be like so remember this video. Like this was two years ago. You're going to be traveling a lot. I'd love to go in and just be like this is everything I've done, like I've been to California multiple times, in Hawaii and Bali and I would love to just go and share like you changed my life because of that.
Speaker 2:And it's so crazy to see some of those people. They're like, hey, you're going to be traveling a lot. I'm like, oh, okay, yeah, and the people I saw two or three years ago, I'm not seeing them anymore because, number one, my vibration is now in a different place, that frequency. So now I'm seeing different people, like I've had the honor to meet you and there's a reason that you and I have been brought together. Yeah, and I can't. I'm. I'm so excited to like I'm sure there's like some collaboration possibly, that coming through and being like, oh, okay, this is really cool. So, yeah, the evolution of us as humans is so crazy.
Speaker 1:Right and TikTok is really instrumental in kind of expanding our world with this Reiki. It's kind of my kids like yeah, we know what that is, we saw someone here or they named someone, and it's just to have fun with it too. And I have a little character called Reiki police that I do on TikTok and it's just really playful. You know you have people that can be so judgmental and it has to be this way or that way and it's just a play on it and I play the music from Dragnet. It's like see right, sensei Reiki police coming here. Oh, my goodness, I got a call in about someone not doing goshy ho during the beginning of the session. That is a Zui 572 violation. You know just a little playfulness of it that. You know you're there, it's your intention, right? We're helping others, we're being of service. So totally.
Speaker 2:And I mean people do go on TikTok even and do like the Reiki healings and like I'm like I don't, I've never done that and I'm like I'm curious to know like what their response is. I've actually never really truly felt the Reiki coming from those people that have been doing it and I'm like, okay, I, I'm down to like just like try it and experience, but then now again I'm not seeing all of them.
Speaker 1:I'm like okay, yeah, I've had a couple on the podcast. Uh, one is called the reiki fairy, so she does different things and she mixes it up with asmr. And then, uh, magical alley the healer, she does one as well so she does, um, christ-centered, uh, reiki, and so she's on there.
Speaker 1:So she's on there pretty frequently, but yeah, there there pretty frequently. But yeah, there's a nice variety on there and it's just a matter of finding your right one. I mean, I usually just kind of go scrolling and then, whoa, I feel that. And then I pause and I check it out. My latest one is a gentleman that does. He does hypnosis. So I don't believe he does Reiki, but he's done this for quite some time and I think what caught me was his hook line is you're sleeping with a hypnotist. I'm the Hugh Hefner of TikTok, my little bunnies, I'm going to guide you into sleep. And I think that was just it for me.
Speaker 2:That I would be like I'd be curious to to be like, oh, I'm curious about what I was listening to.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and his background is he was an exotic dancer but he's very talented and hypnosis and trained, and so he's like I'm doing this and he's like let's push it and he channels it and he guides you through it and just his voice at this point. So I've been in Thursdays I think he does past life regression on that as well and he puts me out and he'll come on and like tell me, tell me how many times you slept with me? Hashtag new.
Speaker 2:And this is how you become what you want to be. So I actually I have an LLC that I created for a rental property and it's funny that you're bringing this up. So for me, I've always loved like luxury, I love bougie-ness, and my LLC is bougie boy LLC. I have a design and staging company called bougie boy designs staging company called Bougie Boy Designs. Now, my latest evolution of this is Bougie Animal Chats, the Louis Vuitton of animal communication. Very good, as a luxury, your connection should be too Sure. So I'm creating this brand of this Bougie Animal Chats. Sure, be like him. Like, oh, but I'm not going to say like, how many times have you slept with me?
Speaker 1:Right, right. It makes me think of my, my daughter, when she was younger you know, I would stand you.
Speaker 2:When you can stand in it it's great. But then it's funny because I say, bougie, but make it spiritual, sure. Sure, we could still have the luxuries, like, even if we're a spiritual being like, okay, you want a Gucci bag or you want to be have a Louis Vuitton.
Speaker 1:Sure.
Speaker 2:Sure, you're allowed to have those nice things, because that invites the flow of abundance into your life.
Speaker 1:Sure, there was a season, you know, my parents had divorced also, and uh, there was a season that we, my mother and I, lived in section eight, housing, uh and uh, kind of a lower income area, and so she used to call it Chateau Legato.
Speaker 2:So Chateau Legato. I love that, so that's what she used to call it when we lived there, we eventually, you know, got out.
Speaker 1:But there was that season where it was like okay, nothing, nothing's wrong with that, and then it helped us out through that season. But yeah, that's what she used to call it. So that's awesome, I love that so much. So what advice would you give someone who is just entering spiritual work? Good luck.
Speaker 2:You never know what you're signing up for. And you know what have fun with it. Like I said, good luck Because again, like as you enter the spiritual world, the reason I say good luck is because there's literally so many damn loopholes that you can go in and you're like, oh, all of a sudden I'm in this loop and I like this loop and what I'm learning?
Speaker 2:Oh, now, I'm going to jump over here. Now, not everybody's a manifesting generator. You, I'm learning, oh, now I'm going to jump over here. Now, not everybody's a manifesting generator. You may find the one thing and be like, oh my gosh, this is so cool. But allow yourself to experiment, allow yourself to have fun and, again, good luck. Because it seems like the more you go, it's like the more you can create and the more you can. All of a sudden, you're like it's almost like the twilight zone in a way.
Speaker 2:So just digging into that spirituality is so fun.
Speaker 1:Right, right and be also be careful what you wish for too, because I had manifested a space and it came at a time where I had, like everything going on and it was like what's happening, like I had prayed and asked for this and here it is, and I think I don't want it now.
Speaker 2:Yep, be specific when you manifest.
Speaker 1:If you want abundance make sure you're specific about what abundance?
Speaker 1:Sure, and I tell people that all the time, like if you are manifesting a pair of like Adidas shoes and you get a box of shoes and they're adidas, like man, they're the wrong color and they're a size two. I needed an eight and a half. You know, in in in white right I had, um, I was in a big uh zoom meeting over covid with kyle gray I don't know if you're familiar with him card reader intuitive and everything, and this deck of cards right there. Call it it, baron Reed. So I won.
Speaker 1:I got picked as one of the people that had a reading and so I was getting ready to move from Pittsburgh to El Paso and I didn't want to go. I was like kicking and screaming and my question was so specific and I actually got picked because my screen, when we had it off, had my Cavalier King Charles on it and Kyle goes oh, I, those are dogs. I like her dogs, we'll pick her. And my question was he goes? That is the most specific question I have ever heard. It was so detailed, like about El Paso, but they gave me the spiritual thumbs up, you know to come out here. So, but yeah, be very, very, very specific. Thumbs up, you know to come out here, so, but yeah, be very, very, very specific. So, what books do?
Speaker 2:you recommend Surrender Experiment by Michael Singer. Number one. That one is literally that's. I'm still learning what that lesson of surrender means. But also the Untethered Soul, those, the Untethered Soul is what really transformed. Now, the first couple chapters for me were a little bit hard. That does not have to be the case for you. I'm not an avid reader. Reading is not my favorite thing to do. However, I have found those couple books. Once I got through the first couple chapters of the untethered soul, it was like I was like, holy smokes, like there's so much in here. I should probably go back and reread it. Then also the um, the surrender experiment. The way he describes that one, that one just captivated so much of my attention and it is a beautiful story of like how he created his life all because he surrendered. Now there was resistance obviously at times, but then once he got in he's like oh, I got it, I understand.
Speaker 1:Beautiful, beautiful, yeah. So what services do you offer? Classes, trainings, events.
Speaker 2:Yes, so I'm a Reiki master teacher. Um, I do in-person Reiki trainings. Um, I also do them via zoom. Um, I'm doing NLP trainings and certifying people to become NLP practitioners and so forth. I do animal communication sessions, which that one's lighting me up the absolute most right now. I also do like the distance Reiki. I do hypnosis sessions. I work with animal medicine from the shamanic energy. So I am kind of all over the place with what I offer, and that's because they're all tools that have changed my life. I want to bring them to others to change their life.
Speaker 1:Beautiful and where can we find you if they want to reach out and get a session with you?
Speaker 2:Absolutely so. Instagram, at Tyler underscore Gines G-I-N-E-S, and then also on TikTok, as at Tyler underscore Gines. I am also on Facebook as well Tyler gines.
Speaker 1:Okay, and that is online and in person. You want to let everyone know in person where you are.
Speaker 2:Yep, I'm in Utah, um, and I do plan to expand that and I would love to do actual like retreats where you're attuned to the energy and like different states. So that is on the future, but as of right now they are in Utah, excellent.
Speaker 1:All right. Well, that ends the first part of our journey. I'm going to continue to guide you on to the second part, which is questions from listeners and Reiki students. So here we go, Number one. I am starting out as a coach. Do you think it's beneficial to obtain multiple certifications?
Speaker 2:So it depends on what your actual goal is with those certifications.
Speaker 2:It depends on the way you want to do it. I may or may not have accidentally become addicted to getting certifications because I love learning, and this is how I ended up with 15 of them. Now you can always take and get one certification and practice it, or, if you want to continue on your journey, I think it is a really great way to build credibility and a great way to edify yourself, and it is not always necessary as long as you have like a baseline of it and understanding, cause there's a lot of people out there who claim to be coaches that actually don't have any formal training and they just think they can do it. Again, like one certification, as long as you have an understanding of how to do it, I think that is a great way. Now again, if you're addicted to learning, like I am, in learning new tools and wanting to, like transform every possible thing and get as advanced as possible, keep going. There's no right or wrong answer to that. It's completely up to how you feel and want to do.
Speaker 1:Sure, and I did the same thing as you. I was just taking one thing after another. It was almost like I was thirsty for the information and now I've gotten to a point and it's not to a point where I know everything, but I feel like you know, I think I need to just be in this season of doing and not collect these things, you know, and take one more certification. I need to be out there and doing the work and experiencing things, that, so you'll know, you'll get that inner sense of, of guidance on the right thing to do. Yeah, so number two, how did you know you were ready to leave the corporate world?
Speaker 2:How did you know you were ready to leave the corporate world? Oh, that one was a nice kick in the face from the universe because, as I had started to evolve and grow myself, I was now no longer in alignment with what I was creating or where I was at the universe. It can either be subtle or it can be a nice kick in the face. It's not always going to be gentle. I was laid off from corporate America. Now I'd been toying around with that and as soon as I was laid off I was like it was almost like a blessing in disguise.
Speaker 2:I was starting, I had started to get burnt out, but I was like there's more for me out there. That is a scary leap of faith. And this is where I had to turn to psychics that were outside, like I had. I could not, because I was so in the emotion I had to seek external guidance in order to figure it out. Sure, and they had all said just take the leap. And I'm so glad I did, because it's allowed me to open up so much more. So for me, the universe is what decided for me to leave the corporate world.
Speaker 1:I didn't. Yeah, isn't that interesting with those of us that are intuitive. You know, we're able to be next to someone and we can see things and kind of help guide them. But then when it's in our own personal lives, it's like the static on a radio station. We just can't hear it clearly and we need to go to someone else to kind of clear it for us to get that understanding. Yeah, it just gets like what do I do? And then you start doubting yourself and it's like, wait a minute, like I need to be using my own tools here.
Speaker 2:Right, but then when you again, when you're so in that emotion, it's almost hard to hear and understand.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you have to you question everything. Number three how do you respond to people who question energy workers and intuitive healers that they feel that this isn't necessary for healing?
Speaker 2:That is a great question. So my grandparents bless their heart. My grandma actually just had. At first we thought it was a heart attack, but there was like her blood pressure a couple of weeks ago and when I went and visited her they were kind of asking questions and it's really hard to explain to people like what you do if they don't have the understanding.
Speaker 2:And so it's like the curiosity is there Now when people are like, oh, it's not necessary, you just have to hold that space for them and allow them to process and feel what they need, to feel they're on their own journey. Now, if you can plant those little seeds for them, they're always going to end up coming back. Opening up that dialogue or that question allows them for that curiosity. And even if they say like, oh, that's not necessary or oh, my religion doesn't believe in that, it is planting a seed, and then they get curious. And then once they're curious, it's like, oh, okay, and then they kind of come back and ask more questions and then they leave and then they come back. So it's patience, having the patience for them, because it's not always going to be right away.
Speaker 1:Beautiful. Well, that was our last question, as we've been talking. Is there something that you may have forgotten or something that you want to share with the listeners? The floor is yours.
Speaker 2:I feel like I did cover a lot. I feel like I talked your ears off. So thanks for all listening, because this was wonderful. Yeah. If anybody has any questions about any fun things yeah, and getting ready to create a program that actually teaches people how to really reconnect with their psychic gifts as well. That's in the pipeline. So if you want to remember who you are, I'm here to support you.
Speaker 1:Beautiful. Well, thank you for doing what you do, tyler. What a gift. What a wonderful energy to bring to the world. So thank you for doing what you do, tyler. What a gift. What a wonderful energy to bring to the world. So thank you for your service, Thank you for your time, thank you for being here on this journey with me.
Speaker 2:Yes, thank you. Thanks for having me, it's been wonderful.
Speaker 1:All right, my wonderful listeners, if you'd like your question featured on the podcast, reach out wwwreadysetreikicom. My name is Tracy Seawright and this has been Ready Set Reiki you.
