Alice: It’s for individuals or couples…and you lay on a massage table and most people fall asleep within 5-10 minutes.  I use Tibetan and crystal bowls, tuning forks, perhaps drums or voice, it’s completely a vibrational experience and it’s very very relaxing. People that come with some type of physical pain, most often there’s a noticeable difference in one session, most times the pain will be completely gone. That could be from a repetitive stress injury, arthritis, many different issues.

Dr. Steve Piechota: Ok people out there are always hearing about Tibet. I’m going to mention an interview I heard on Coast to Coast with an American monk named Steven Hairfield. Steven was a Vietnam veteran he explained an incredible urge to go to India, he didn’t know why, but he sold all his possessions and went over there. He was really on a journey by foot and he was walking toward Tibet, something was driving him that way. One hot day he came upon a shack selling drinks and he bought one while he sat under a tree. All the sudden he hears this voice in back of him saying Stephen we’ve been expecting you. And he turned around and said there was a lovely monk with beautiful eyes and he asked him how he even knew his name. The monk explained to him that they had actually been calling him. That they had tuned into his vibration and knew that he was a searcher and so consequently they took him up into Tibet and he spent many years at a monetary there. He used to jog 25 miles on the weekend there, and an old monk would join him. The old monk never even took a deep breath on the 25 mile run. One day he asked him how old he was but with no concept of real age the monk only could reference wars, back as far as the mid 1800’s. And he said it’s just so incredible with these monks could achieve. He actually saw them walk on water, monks that levitate in meditation, or go into ice filled lakes and melt the snow around them in a meditative state. Now he’s written 4 or 5 books, and the host got into a really interesting discussion of the quickening going on that is really confusing people. I thought we should get this message out … once we go too far into materiality and lose our sense of our spiritual nature the pendulum actually goes too far over and that this can actually create changes in the earth’s polarity and result in changing weather patterns, volcanic activities, tsunami’s, you name it, and basically man can basically destroy himself with his own negativity and sinful type behavior. It was his feeling that we should get our act together very soon because it’s a dangerous situation in human history right now.

I definitely feel with shows like ours, with the kind of work you’re doing by getting this message out to our listeners and re-awakening their sense of their real being, which is spiritual in nature, and you did mention that to me earlier didn’t you? That we’re really spiritual beings with a physical body.

Alice: Right, Right and you know we really don’t start out with a physical body out all. We start out as that thought in our parents mind. We start out as an etheric body, and the etheric body is actually a blueprint of the genetic imprint, ah are we going to be male, female, etc. this etheric layer or level allows the physical body to start forming. One of the examples I often use so people can understand the importance of healing the root cause. One if you keep going to the doctor and they keep saying to you I cannot find anything on x-ray or with the 100 tests we did, it’s a good indicator to you that the issue is one of your other bodies, such as the emotional body or the etheric. So we saw in war a lot of men losing limbs and lets say they lost below their knee yet they still experienced pain in their ankle or foot that was no longer there. Well what was still there in existence was the etheric ankle or foot with the memory of the trauma. And it’s a person that works with those other bodies, with our selves in our complete wholeness, that is able to affect the healing that is necessary. Those issues are not going to be picked up on x-rays and by traditional medical tests. So I see a lot of people that say well I’ve been tested for this and on and on, and it’s usually it’s not even a conversation we need to get into because I know or someone that works with energy healing will know enough to look at those other bodies and thus the idea of holistic healing.

Dr. Steve Piechota: I thought we might mention at least a little about chakras because with the Sound Healing you’re actually improving the flow of energy in our chakras right?

Alice: Right with Sound Healing or Vocal Toning we can very quickly balance our energy centers.

Dr. Steve Piechota: So let me just explain to our listeners a little…According to the eastern philosophies we have these energy vortexes in our body called chakras and there are 7 chakras. Basically they’re like little transformers that take the subtle energies of the universe and bring them into our physical body and actually direct them to the 7 endocrine glands that we have and corresponding organs around them. So if this energy is flowing into the body thru the acupoints of acupuncture into the chakras and eventually into the endocrines and our organs that can actually put a person into really perfect health. And that’s why people like these monks live so long. They have this free flow of the higher energies which come from the creative force in the universe. The chakras many times if you have some emotional problems the flow of energy will be blocked and that’s how these organs might become ill. The heart chakra is really important and a bridge between the higher and lower ones and it’s really important to have a strong heart chakra. Because if you have a good heart chakra goin’ that’s when you can create unconditional love in your heart and that will actually give you perfect physical health, in essence, and you can go even higher and you can get to the crown chakra and that’s when we talk about illumination, enlightenment and ascension, becoming one with the universe, basically the salvation of the human, and that’s what Christ was trying to teach us all. That we all have that ability to go that high as he did. With all that said I think you now how a good foundation for listening to Sarah. Sarah is a young 23 yr old girl, and she had some real problems and I think she’s going to relate all of that and talk about her experience with Alice Richard and what Alice did for her.

Sarah: My mom found an article in the local paper (about Alice) and she just had this intuition that Alice was the right person for me, that everything that was in the article seemed to make sense. I had just walked away from all my friends due to a substance abuse environment and I had no one positive or negative in my life. I didn’t want to be around that negative temptation anymore. I was dealing with anxiety, fear, I was basically afraid of everything. Doctors were putting me on so many medications for my bipolar disorder and anxiety that I ended up in the hospital due to one of those medications. I just couldn’t sit still, it hyped me up too much which was very scary. About a month afterwards I went to see Alice. Alice got me in right away, she knew that I needed to go see her. Then I basically had no clue what I was getting into. The metaphysical world. I had no idea what that meant. I had seen a lot of healers before. A Reiki healer, a hypnotist, and they all said one thing that stuck in my head, that I needed to be grounded. And to be grounded was like a foreign language to me. I had no clue what that meant. So I went to see Alice. It was very strange to be around someone that was so happy and peppy. Because I was around so many negative people in the past. She had me do the Vocal Toning first to open up the chakras and it was the strangest coolest thing I’ve ever tried. I never knew that was such a thing as a natural high. A positive floating high. She went thru the meditation with me which got my energy flowing and it was pretty amazing to feel my bodies energy flowing and moving. The next step I went into her bliss session which was really cool but I had to check everything out first. I had so much anxiety so much fear at that time I had to know exactly what she was going to do before she did it. As I went home my head was spinning, it was so confused. My energy was so low at the time it was going thru a transition to get higher vibrationally. It’s not always right at first, so it was just emotional but I kept with the toning and it felt good every time. Alice really believed in me so I stuck with it and all I have to say is depression, bipolar energy basically is low vibrational and it’s a not a replacement for the medication for me it was a therapy for me. It was more successful than seeing a therapist. It got me outside of my thinking mind and got me into my true being, and got me grounded and it’s just worked miracles for me. I have a new job, I’m in a creative art world in an art coaching and consulting firm and I’m around positive people now. I learn from things everyday, I don’t sweat the small stuff, I feel grounded, I feel confident, I feel complete as a person. The toning, the meditation, everything, is just amazing. My intuition has gotten stronger and I just feel energy and know what I’m here for now.

Dr. Steve Piechota: You mentioned that your intuitive senses have improved. Everyone out there has to realize that we have two hemi-spheres to our brain. We have the logical side, which we’re so imbued with and we also have our intuitive or spiritual side. Unfortunately the way is developed we’re so involved with the logical side of our brain that we’ve allowed the spiritual intuitive side to kind of atrophy. And we really have to reawaken that. Not just for ourselves, but teens like you and the children and youngsters. Have you talked to any of your friends about this?

Sarah: I have not spoke to my friends that in the substance abuse. I’ve just walked away from them completely but I talk to a lot of new people that I’ve met that are in the spiritual world. I’d like to get out there and talk more to the people that want to get off the drugs and there is a natural high, and it’s what we’re here for.

Dr. Steve Piechota: Do you feel, like I know Alice likes to work with teenagers, that you might want to do something like that?

Sarah: I’ve always liked to work with .I think it’s best to start while you’re young, 13- I know she deals with younger kids, it’s just going to make your life so much better, so much more abundant, spiritual. You’re going to basically get what you want out of life if you start it young.

Dr. Steve Piechota: I recall several yrs ago taking a neighbors child out to pizza one nite. He was maybe 6 yrs old and for some reason I mentioned the word soul, and he looked at me with a confused look and said, “What’s a soul?” and I thought it was just so sad that a youngster had never been taught the concept of soul. I think a lot of children today are growing up in an educational system that gives them no sense of the fact that we do have this higher nature and I mentioned earlier the turmoil that’s going on in the world today and the misery that a lot of people are being faced with, the emotional problems… if people had a sense that we had this higher nature wouldn’t it be a beautiful world?

Sarah: Yes, definitely.
Alice: That’s the thing with Vocal Toning. As Dr. Phil would say it connects you to your “authentic self” or soul.

Dr. Steve Piechota: Your higher self.

Alice: Yes, and watching these children transform with Vocal Toning. One girl I was watching was too shy to play with the other kids, so she just watched for a ½ hr while they played. We did the vocal toning, which is just making simple vowel sounds, and she got to the 2nd tone and she was just beaming and forgot all about her inhibitions. Was completely connected and laughing.

Sarah: Amazing.

Alice : Then there was an autistic boy walking around the room holding a baby doll, in his own world..until he heard us doing the toning. I bring my crystal and Tibetan bowls to this after school program and allow the children to play with them. This brought in this autistic child that had never participated in anything, with the other kids, over he was playing the instruments, there was eye connection, he was looking at me, holding my hand, looking at the other children. So Sound is universal, there’s no language barriers. I’ve talked with Tibetan monks with the OM, and the tuning fork, and didn’t need an interpreter.

Dr. Steve Piechota: Its amazing especially the vowel sounds how important they are right?

Sarah: Well I think that we’re in such a narrow minded world, black and white world, that they really don’t think outside the box. You give the kid a medication, give them a pill for his ADD, that’s his problem…It’s not, it’s because his vibrational level is very low and he needs to raise that up. Just don’t start your kids out on medication, go with the spiritual outlet the meditation and the vocal toning and you‘ll be amazed.

Dr. Steve Piechota: Do you think Sarah, I know there’s always this argument of the separation of church and state, that we can’t really teach students … I think wouldn’t it be great if we could really teach students a complete education where there not just getting the facts and figures of modern education. We
could actually work on their higher components, their ethical backgrounds, their foundation for morality, for understanding their real purpose in life.

Sarah: There would be a lot less substance abuse, a lot less rebelling, a lot less crime if all that energy was raised. If they just had a class for them where they could do meditation and get to realize their higher self.

Dr. Steve Piechota: It’s unfortunate that we’ve fallen into this secular world that has no appreciation and they do everything to thwart this kind of development but it would be the salvation of our society I think if we had a greater awareness of these things.

Charlie: Hi, good show. Basically Steve when you and I went to school they did have spirituality in school by prayer. Cause prayer is a form of meditation and unfortunately because of the state and church issue they took prayer out of school and that’s the problems were in.

Dr. Steve Piechota: That’s part of it, that’s for sure. So many other things that have developed in the last 40 or 50 yrs.

Charlie: That form of faith, to have a faith and belief in something besides yourself.

I wanted to ask Alice, when I’m in a lot of pain. I have a lot of chronic pain and arthritic issues and stuff I was born with, a deformed hip etc. When my pain is so bad Alice I end up chanting when I get up in the morning or when I go to bed at night and I can actually feel from chanting, I can feel it go right to where my pain is -in my hip or knee. Is that possible?

Alice: Of course! That’s fabulous! That’s what we’re doing with Vocal Toning. Our body becomes the sound instrument, so by using our voice, and you should check out one of our vocal toning groups..using your voice people have-like Amrita Cottrell out in California, has fried her own breast tumors. It’s worked on numerous issues. Yeah it would be fun to work with you and stretch that out a little bit. But it’s a matter always of a way to take a lower vibration and to raise it. So whether that’s through a crystal or Tibetan bowl, your own voice, chanting - we’re literally breaking up a lower denser vibratory rate of energy and moving it. What happens to people is that whatever it is that’s a stress in their life it always goes to those same weak spots. So what I teach people how to do is to get grounded and to use some form of a simple meditative technique, or vocal toning, or whatever floats your boat, maybe it’s beating a drum or fishing, it doesn’t matter. You need to find a way to say OK my body is containing this stress, I need to find a way to keep it flowing. I have seen it work wonders with many different issues.

Charlie: What I was amazed at and I noticed especially today , I woke up this morning with so many different pains, that it was the vibration of the sound that was going right to the area where it hurt. I couldn’t believe that. That had never happened to me before.

Dr. Steve Piechota: Charlie you should know Alice has a group every week.

Alice: I have a few vocal toning groups. One in Winsted every week on Wed. and another that you need check my calendar on www.aliceviolet.com for the dates and to pre-register because I travel for that one.
I’m also willing to come and teach groups of people. I’m going to be working with a group of teens through a CREC program in Farmington.

Charlie: That’s funny I was in Winsted yesterday.

Alice: I saw you - you were that funny guy that was chanting down the middle of Main Street weren‘t you! LOL

Charlie: The other thing too, I’ve been having Reiki done for the past two years. I’ve learned Transcendental Meditation back in the 70’s and I always feel that when I meditate I have some sort of out-of-body experience and such relief of pain. Everything goes away it’s amazing. When this young lady was just talking about her experiences I could identify with what she was talking about. It’s a great thing because it’s natural Alice, that’s the beauty of it all. Anybody and everybody can do it. It’s like praying.

Dr. Steve Piechota: We all have that potential.

Charlie: I’m sure I’ll meet you soon at one of your seminars.

Alice: If there’s anyone out there that has a group, Sarah and I would be happy to speak for instance a bipolar disorder group. Or a grief, sound is phenomenal for grief.

Andy: The girl that was just on sounded confused in her life and I believe the reason she did the things she did, went out looking for love, because she didn’t have love the way she wanted it in her home life so she went out and reached for love and this lady that’s on your show now she reached for her. Let me tell you something, we need to face and talk to our Lord. He’s the greatest healer of all. And people who are so confused will go and listen to anyone in the whole world to help them. It detours them for a moment of their aches and pains. I have aches and pains everyday of my life and so do you Dr. Steve and I pray myself to sleep there’s no greater healer in the world, not a human being-only like you with medical stuff-but only God is the healer. People with no love in their household will reach for everyone for any type of love, feelings, and compassion.

Dr. Steve Piechota: Well I’m sure Sarah had some love in her family because her mother is the one that directed her to go to see Alice.

Sarah: Yes

Alice: I do hear his point and you know healing doesn’t necessarily have to be religious. Through prayer, or just a chant, or a meditation…we’re invoking healing energy with our words and intentions.

Dr. Steve Piechota: Why do we ring the bells at communion in the catholic church? That had a meaning, those vibrational things were there for a reason. All these things had the foundations you know it’s just that nobody taught people why we did certain things at mass. I mean the early founders knew what it was about. It just that nobody ever passed it on and taught anybody. Why do we put our fingers together when we pray? Because it re-channels our psychic energy and makes us more spiritual.

Alice: Like you opened the show with Steve, In the beginning there was the Word and that word was Sound. That’s a very broad general statement.. We’re connecting with our higher self or authentic self, you can look at that that it all comes from God, Creator …but I’m also going to also work with the person that doesn’t necessarily have that idea. It’s a matter of them connecting to something greater than themselves, greater than that pain.

Dr. Steve Piechota: Exactly

Next Caller: I have a question and a comment. Perhaps the old speaking in tongues may be a form of Vocal Toning?

Alice/Sarah: Yes

Caller: And secondly how long does it take someone to learn toning using your methods?

Alice: 3 - 5minutes

Caller: 3 -5 sessions?

Dr. Steve Piechota- No 3 -5 minutes she said

Alice: The idea is there is no right or wrong tone. When you hang up the phone start making sounds and have fun with it. You are going to be rebalancing and shifting your energy. I can probably teach you some fun techniques and the group can be a really nice outlet and something people get addicted to weekly…but there is no right or wrong tones.

Caller: You do this on a one-one basis also?

Alice: Yes I do a lot of private work with this as well, two community colleges which are on my website.

Caller: And the word Universe, doesn’t that mean one sound?

Alice: Om? Yes I believe Universe does mean one sound.

Next Caller: Steve I was told 2 weeks ago that I have an overactive thyroid. And I’m on medication until the 9th of March. If I don’t respond to that they’re going to dry up my thyroid or operate and take it out and I’m terrified of both. Anything you can tell me that would help or make my thyroid heal?

Dr. Steve Piechota: Is your thyroid overactive C: Yes Steve: You have hyper-thyroidism. There might even be a sound technique for the throat chakra. Is there anything you know of Alice?

Alice: Yeah boy I’m hearing a lot of this issue with thyroid. I think part of it is processed foods…cleansing the liver and gallbladder may be quite helpful and certainly doing a vibrational healing session could be quite supportive of that.

Dr. Steve Piechota: We do have a protocol I’d be happy to mail to you.

Caller: Thank you

Dr. Steve Piechota: Ok Alice why don’t you give us a little demo of your vibrational bowl over there.

Alice: Ah (as she strikes the bowl) and I should probably give you my phone number…860-738-8796
