Carmel, you have spent decades studying ancient esoteric healing arts and have traveled to sacred sites around the world. Can you share a particular experience from your travels that profoundly impacted your approach to healing and your connection with ones intelligent heart and universal heart.
Thank you for inviting me to share this profound experience. It began for me in 2001 on the Giza Plateau in Egypt. As I stood before the pyramids, I felt an overwhelming force of energy emanating from them. Physically, I was deeply affected—my heart ached so intensely that I genuinely thought I might be dying. This moment left an indelible impression on me.
At the time, I was leading a group and focused on mind-centered teaching practices, but this experience shifted everything. My heart, already shattered by a recent personal tragedy, felt as though it was breaking into pieces once again. Yet, somehow, it reassembled itself. It was as if the Atlanteans, known for teaching through heart and crystalline intelligence, had opened a doorway within me.
The totality of this experience profoundly altered my identity and purpose. From that moment forward, I was compelled to travel the world, seeking to understand and integrate the wisdom I had encountered. Although I visited many other countries and sacred sites, the energy and teachings of Egypt held a unique and transformative power. The temples and the Giza Plateau left such a deep imprint on me that I have returned every year since, bringing groups to experience this extraordinary connection for themselves.
These journeys are not merely about visiting ancient sites; they are about feeling the heart’s resonance, experiencing transformation, and committing to embodying the teachings of ancient Egypt. This has profoundly shaped my approach to healing and deepened my connection to one heart teachings, particularly their focus on crystalline intelligence and sound. It remains my mission to help others access this wisdom and awaken to their own transformative journeys.
At Atlantis Rising, you emphasize the importance of connecting with the “intelligent heart.” How do you define the intelligent heart, and what practices do you recommend for individuals looking to cultivate this connection in their own lives?
What a wonderful question—it’s truly powerful to guide someone in connecting with their intelligent heart. The practice itself is simple yet transformative. I often invite people to begin by speaking directly to their heart, saying: “I love you. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.”
For those who might find this unfamiliar or feel unconnected to heart intelligence, I offer an alternative: connecting with their higher self or soul, using whatever language resonates most deeply with them. The goal is to reside fully in the heart, recognizing it as both the seat of power and the seed of truth. When we acknowledge and align with the heart’s intelligence, it naturally shifts our consciousness from a mind-centered focus to one of co-creation with the heart.
This shift activates the heart’s ability to send messages to the higher mind, balancing brainwave frequencies and fostering a profound sense of peace and freedom. Breathwork can further enhance this connection, as can the practice of stillness, which is essential for truly listening to the heart. To hear the heart’s wisdom, one must pause, be present, and allow its guidance to be received deeply.
I encourage my clients to approach this process through their soul’s unique blueprint, ensuring alignment with their individual path. There are many ways to connect to the intelligent heart, but the most accessible and impactful is cultivating a simple practice of saying, “I love you.” Over time, this act fosters a relationship with the heart, allowing one to become a kind of “heart whisperer.”
As this connection deepens, the energetic field of the heart opens, creating opportunities and experiences rooted in love. Through what I call the “one heart,” we begin to co-create with others in the collective field of love. The universal heart, which is the essence of consciousness, activates fully through heart intelligence and invites us into deeper harmony with ourselves and the world around us.
Your offerings include a range of healing modalities, such as Ancient Egyptian Healing Techniques, Senju Kannon Reiki™ as well as Crystalline Intelligence and Sound. How do you integrate these different practices in your sessions to create a holistic healing experience for your clients?
It’s actually quite simple—I don’t separate anything in my work because I operate entirely under the direction of the client’s intelligent heart. In every training, teaching, or engagement, I attune myself to their heart’s intelligence. From there, I invite their heart to guide the process, allowing it to set the intent for their healing journey. By forming this connection with the intelligent heart, energy begins to flow naturally—first into my heart and then back to the client’s heart.
The client’s heart always knows what it needs, whether the healing comes through Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls, Crystalline Intelligence, Reiki, ancient Egyptian practices, or another modality. Ultimately, the client is the master of their healing, and my role is simply to facilitate what their heart directs. This approach fosters a deeply profound self-healing process.
Having taught Reiki for over three decades and crystalline intelligence even longer, I’ve found crystalline intelligence and sound to be fundamental to my work. I’ve incorporated Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls made by Crystal Tones from rare and precious gems, which resonate powerfully within the practice. These tools, combined with the wisdom of the intelligent heart, create a healing experience that is both transformative and uniquely tailored to the client’s needs.
Many people are drawn to the idea of transforming their lives through spiritual practices. What advice would you give to someone who feels stuck in their current situation and is seeking a new identity or purpose?
The first step I take is to invite individuals to consider leaving behind their old identity—the part of themselves that is trapped by the mind. This requires discipline, intention, and commitment. Like any meaningful practice, spiritual transformation demands dedication and consistency. I always emphasize that the benefits and results of this journey are profound, but the key lies in the individual’s willingness to engage fully with the process.
I encourage them to create an intention rooted in their intelligent heart—a clear, heartfelt commitment to change. This doesn’t need to be complicated; it could be as simple as dedicating 10 minutes a day to a practice, allowing peace to flow into their day, and nurturing a willingness to shift their consciousness.
When this commitment to transformation is made, the intelligent heart naturally provides ongoing support and guidance. However, the initiative must come from the individual—they must genuinely desire to release their old identity and step into a new way of being. Only through this intentional choice can true growth and change take place.
As the founder of Atlantis Rising and a teacher in the Mystery School, what are some common misconceptions you encounter about esoteric healing practices, and how do you address them in your work with clients and students?
One of the most important things to address is a common misconception—the belief that transformation happens without diligence or commitment. The greatest challenge for any student or client lies in their dedication to the practice. Whether they pick up a book of mine, explore an online course, or engage in a healing session, the true work comes from their willingness to commit fully.
The essence of this commitment is saying goodbye to the old self, to the identity that has been shaped and limited by the mind. This process involves allowing the impossible to become possible, and that requires unwavering focus and intention. I always emphasize the importance of having a clear vision for what they want in their new life. Once they articulate this vision, I can design a program tailored to their unique needs—whether it involves training, healing sessions, or meditation practices. However, the ultimate decision and commitment must come from them.
My role is to guide and support them, but I also encourage them to walk what I call the “direct path”—the path of the heart and the way of truth. This path requires alignment with their soul’s journey and a readiness to integrate the remnants of the old identity into a clear and focused new beginning. By stepping onto this path with intent and dedication, they open the door to profound transformation and the realization of their fullest potential.
