I am also the first feature writer of the Laconia Daily Sun at its inception, Milford Daily News correspondent for nearly 20 years; and contributor to the book, “More Weddings, Funerals And Rites of Passage, More Sample Ceremonies for Celebrants, Officiate and Ministers,” by Rev. Amy Long. I am among the contributing authors. I am an ordained Christian minister of the Universal Life Church.

I write the blog, UNIVERSAL WISDOM ENLIGHTENMENT MASTERY: www.lindahourihan.wordpress.com. It addresses mental health, physical health and spiritual health. There are drugless therapies that work very well most of the time when applied, and have no chemical side effects, obviously, except when they are not followed.

I am a certified, international Holistic Health Counselor/Practitioner (HHCP), having graduated from the American Institute of Holistic Health and Wellness in 2005, studying under Dr. Dolores Seymour. The American Institute of Holistic Health & Wellness is accredited by the American Association of Drugless Professionals, and the National Accreditation and Certification Board. This is a lifetime and international certification. I have studied extensively in the fields of holistic health in mind, body and spirit which naturally includes counseling on all life issues, and bodywork.

I am a former member of the Branford Hall Career Institute Advisory Board; and former owner of The Massage Clinic, LLC.

I am trained in M.I.N.D.S. Holistic Alternative Psychology, with an emphasis on methods, individualized plans of action, fostering the ability of the individual to reach his or her highest potential physically, emotionally and spiritually; with advanced perspectives of positive personal growth, changing attitudes from negative to positive; enhancing intuition and self-discovery through creative endeavors, and improving health as impacted by psychological states.

I work with M.I.N.D.S. Wellness & Body/Mind Consciousness, which features positive self-analysis/awareness, self-control development programs, conditioning the healing mind, controlling mood swings, anxiety, avoiding depression and raising self-esteem to its highest level.

M.I.N.D.S. Meta-Psychology is person centered rather than technically oriented, and focuses on psychological health, consciousness, human possibilities, and challenges of body, mind and spiritual development. A person cannot heal in any program void of attention to their own spiritual development. As a matter of fact, many mental and physical ailments can sprout when spiritual sickness is at the root of the problem.

I am a retired certified Qigong instructor (2011), teaching Qigong healing and breathing applications for levels 1, 2 and 3. Qigong is a 4,000 year old Chinese medicine practice that moves “chi,” the life giving energy of the body. The health-promoting effects of Qigong are:

Improves the motion of blood, warms the blood and enhances whole body circulation.
Stimulates appetite, sexual function, assimilation of nutrients and digestion/elimination.
Accelerates metabolism, weight loss, decreases need for sleep.
Bolsters the immune system by reducing cortisol, a known inhibitor of cytokine production.
Develops dexterity, reflexes, and prevents osteoporosis in clinical studies.
Opens arteries allowing greater brain-based microcirculation to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
Enhances mental acuity, focus and concentration. The Qi (chi, life force, prana) draws focus and trains the mind.
Helps us to calm down, relax and become more peaceful.
Focuses mental, physical and spiritual energies together as one.

This particular Qigong Class included a food component, tying the energy of food to the energy of Qigong, and using food as medicine. Chemical medications attempt to mimic the benefits and properties of organic plant life, including fruits and vegetables and using their stems, spores and seeds. Clinical studies have been done on so many diseases, like diabetes, which can be reversed by eating certain foods high in phytochemicals. I wish to share the information I have learned about how foods work to heal our bodies.

I am a 2001 graduate of the DoveStar Institute of Holistic Technology, specializing in body and energy work.

I am now retired from bodywork, focusing on my online outreach to the world through my website: www.mysteryofthesturbridgekeys.com, and my blog, ENLIGHTENMENT MINISTRY at www.lindahourihan.wordpress.com.

I am also a former Master Catechist in the Catholic Church studying with priests and bishops in the Worcester Diocese (under the name Linda Kearsley). There I taught religious education to children and adults for 26 years. My knowledge of religious history did not stop there.

All Christians boast of knowing only 3 years of knowing what Jesus said and taught, and of course those famous 12 years of his childhood when he was found speaking with the rabbis in the temple. Humanity has never been told what they were discussing. All we know is that they were astounded at his accurate knowledge.

What did Jesus and the rabbis discuss? Why was this information kept secret? Wouldn’t you like to know more than 3 years of only some of what Jesus taught? Who would not want you to know that?

How would you like to only be known for first 12 childhood years of your life, and then only some of what you said and did from your ages 30-33?

Now I study all the words and actions of Jesus Christ, including his travels from Jerusalem by land routes to Iran, Afghanistan, and India, as well as by water routes when he traveled with his uncle, Joseph of Arimathea, a trader of tin, when they crossed the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea, not to mention their Red Sea travels.

But how would you ever know this if you did not allow yourself to learn all the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, not just those famous 3 years pontificated about in all modern bibles.

Who is it exactly who is telling you not to continue learning, calling all other words of Jesus apocryphal because his words taught deeper and more profound realities other than the indoctrinations of the religious gurus of that time?

You have a right to know all the words Jesus taught and make up your own mind. Now is the time to get out from under cult-like indoctrinations of most mind-control religions. Now if the time to discover all of what Jesus taught, not only some of it.

My books, including MYSTERY OF THE STURBRIDGE KEYS, subtitled, CHRISTMAS UNLOCKED, this blog you are reading right now, and my website, https://LindaHourihanHHCP.com are my legacy, a healing gift to the world in need of hope, kindness, empathy, compassion, encouragement, faith, light, love and truth from Eternal Universal Life Force Energy (God), as told by his Son, Jesus Christ.

In the meantime, here we all are, some of us hurting in one way or another, others of us have questions, or are simply need encouragement. There are natural remedies out there without horrific side-effects. I will share common sense solutions that work naturally.

I will make no suggestions as to any chemical solutions. I refer all who seek such remedies to see their own doctors.

In my life’s physical work, some clients were referred to me by doctors prior to their patient’s surgery, only to find that the surgeries were no longer needed after the massage bodywork therapy protocol.

I have personally successfully helped people eliminate pain associated with migraine headaches, sciatica, and neck, shoulder, arm, back, hip, leg and feet pain. I suggest massage therapy should be the first protocol for muscle pains in the body, addressing pain by the least invasive method of treatment first, and prior to chemical medicinal approaches, which often have negative side effects.

I operated by own business for 12 years in New Hampshire. Then we moved to Connecticut and again started THE MASSAGE CLINIC where I personally worked on more than 5,000 of the 8,000 clients who came to The Massage Clinic LLC for help.

I believe Eastern Medicine (naturopathic and homeopathy) and Western Medicine (surgery and drug therapy) ought to work together, as in complementary approaches, rather than the alternative approach, which implies one medicinal approach over the other. Both systems need each other to be whole. Most modern healing facilities have integrated both approaches very well.

Mental, emotional and spiritual crisis is often at the root of physical illness. Addressing the realities of our lives, with a direct approach and a vision for wellness and health is the key for healing. Focusing on healing leads to healing. Focusing on illness keeps people ill, mentally, emotionally, spirituality and physically.

Since people’s spirituality is part of their whole health and well-being, I became a Universal Life Church Christian minister. While in the ULC Seminary I came to better understand all faiths. While I understand after years of studying and promoting New Age ideologies, I returned to my Christian roots, then continued my educations to finally discover what has been hidden from you. Hopefully this blog and my website: https://LindaHourihanHHCP.com will help those who are or have been also spiritually hijacked.

Jesus tells us not to be called Rabbi, Teacher or Leader, or any other religious title. Likewise, I do not go by the religious title Reverend. I do the work Jesus taught us to teach and pass on to others.

My calling in this life is modeled after that of Jesus, who did not have a church, and went out to where the people are.

Today, most people are online, thus the impetus for this online blog. Please feel free to leave comments at the bottom of each post, and I will respond to you.
