In essence, VortexHealing® weaves a magical tapestry of healing and awakening, as shared by Lorraine Goldbloom in her enlightening conversation with MysticMag.
How did you first discover VortexHealing®, and what drew you to become a teacher?
By accident, as magic happens. I had a friend with whom I often did theater shows. Backstage, our conversations revolved around healing and magic. We made a pact that if either of us found something interesting, we would share it. He stumbled upon this class, a 5-day foundational training, and tried to describe it to me. At first, the idea of committing to five days seemed overwhelming. However, fate had other plans. When the teacher visited the New York area, where I live, I found myself in the class. I can’t recall how I managed it, but I was compelled to be there.
For many years, I took the class purely for enjoyment. I appreciated the teacher, the work, and its effectiveness. There was no agenda to become a teacher or a professional healer. This was a joyful exploration, a “guilty pleasure” pursued for the sheer joy of it, without the pressure of it becoming my livelihood. It was driven by curiosity, joy, and a sense of community.
Then, unexpectedly, I was invited to become a teacher. Not everyone aspiring to be one gets that chance; it’s an invitation-only process. Surprisingly, I found myself saying yes, and I’m grateful that I did. The journey unfolded naturally, turning something that brought me immense joy as a student into my vocation. I feel blessed that what started as a source of personal joy has now become my calling.
What aspect of teaching VortexHealing® do you find most fulfilling?
I find the most fulfillment in witnessing the transformation, not only in myself but also within the community. VortexHealing®, being a healing modality, addresses practical issues on physical, emotional, and psychological levels. It’s gratifying to see people experiencing improvement in their well-being, but the true depth of transformation lies in an awakening element.
As individuals engage with the healing process, they become more present—present with themselves, in their relationships, and in life. There’s a noticeable shift towards being more open to life. Observing this journey over the years within the community is particularly rewarding. You encounter someone early in the process, and as they continue their work, a beautiful sense of heart emerges.
Issues, in my view, are anything that obstructs being present. The healing process helps manage and eliminate these issues, allowing a profound transformation to unfold. When individuals come in initially, they might be distracted, shut down, or driven by personal agendas. However, as these barriers dissolve, they become more present, leading to an extraordinary transformation. I love being part of this journey and sharing it within the community.
Can you share a brief example of a student transformation that stands out in your teaching experience?
Certainly, I have a personal healing story that illustrates the transformative levels of VortexHealing®. I was experiencing digestive issues with a distended stomach and sought guidance from Rick Weinman, the founder of VortexHealing®. Despite my skepticism, I trusted his credibility and followed his suggestion to work on my lungs.
During the session, I unexpectedly experienced a profound sense of loss and sadness, leading to a deep release—a true emotional meltdown. The connection became clear: my lungs, associated with unprocessed grief in Chinese medicine, were affecting my entire body. Stagnation in my gut was causing the bloating.
The physical issue was cured, but the deeper revelation was profound. The issue of loss had impacted all major relationships, leading to decisions like avoiding marriage and children to avoid the pain of loss. These were conditioned responses from the unresolved issue.
While the healing addressed the physical level, it also allowed me to see this major life issue. Recognizing it as an issue, not an intrinsic part of who I was, was transformative. Even though the theme of loss remains, I no longer define myself by it. This healing changed my life, altering how I experienced life on a fundamental level.
This experience underscored the comprehensive nature of VortexHealing®—working on physical and emotional levels and revealing the deep impact of unresolved issues. It showed me what it means to be free of these issues and how transformative such freedom can be.
How do you approach tailoring your teaching to meet the diverse needs of your students?
The magic of Zoom enables one-on-one interactions during class sessions, allowing me to connect with each new student individually. This provides an opportunity to understand their journey to us and what they seek in the class.
Students arrive with varied perspectives—a focus on physical or emotional healing, an interest in the awakening element central to our lineage, fascination with the magical aspects or earthwork, or, like myself, stumbling in by accident and simply happy to be present. VortexHealing® becomes the convergence point for all these interests. It’s not just about releasing issues; it’s awakening from the stories they create, leading to a process of magical transformation.
The work accommodates all these perspectives, creating a deeply personal experience for each student. While we aim to support them individually, the work inherently addresses diverse needs. The key is recognizing the student’s perspective when they ask a question—not just hearing the question but understanding where they’re coming from. Being present with them and meeting them where they are is crucial, and it’s something we strive to do to the best of our ability with the limited resources we have.
In essence, students come with various interests and backgrounds, and the teaching approach involves acknowledging and embracing this diversity, tailoring the experience to each student’s unique point of view.
In your opinion, what makes VortexHealing® an effective and unique healing modality for practitioners to learn?
This is my favorite question. VortexHealing® stands out because, unlike other modalities that often focus solely on either deep healing or awakening, VortexHealing® seamlessly combines both. While there are many effective healing methods and excellent awakening teachers, VortexHealing® uniquely integrates profound healing and awakening into a single transformative experience.
In our practice, every healing session becomes an opportunity for awakening. It illuminates how our issues restrict us from being fully present. As we work on these issues, it’s not just about getting better; it’s about clearing the way for a deeper presence, which is the essence of awakening.
A key concept in VortexHealing® is the “core veil,” not a specific issue but the deepest sense of personal identity—the “I.” Our issues shape this identity, defining our experiences, such as “I am sad” or “I am in pain.” VortexHealing® addresses this identity at its core, awakening us from the stories it creates.
In essence, VortexHealing® goes beyond being solely a healing modality; it facilitates awakening from our issues and the separation consciousness they bring. The deepest healing is the awakening, and vice versa—they are inseparable. This transformative process is not just about feeling better or managing issues; it’s a genuine, comprehensive transformation on all levels.
People experience significant changes as they go through VortexHealing® classes and use the practice. It brings a profound sense of freedom, not only from specific issues but also in attaining true presence. The awakening in VortexHealing® is not about ascension or reaching bliss; it’s about pure presence, clearing any identity or separation consciousness that hinders that presence.
This approach distinguishes VortexHealing®, as it simultaneously clears distractions as a healing modality and brings practitioners “home” in their awakening journey. The beauty and magic lie in this simultaneous and integrated process, meeting us where we are and guiding us toward a deeper understanding of our inherent truth.
