“You are not broken.”

In this episode, Nick speaks with energy healer Ofer Niv about his journey from serving in the Israeli military to becoming an energy healer. They explore themes of spirituality, human experience, and the impact of limiting beliefs on personal growth. Ofer shares insights on his Alchemical Flame method, emphasizing the importance of heart connection in healing and the idea that individuals are not broken but whole.

What to listen for:

• Energy healing can help individuals see their own truth
• Limiting beliefs often stem from childhood experiences
• The heart plays a crucial role in emotional and physical healing
• Healing is not just about the physical; it’s about empowerment
• The Alchemical Flame method incorporates various modalities for healing
• You are not broken; you are whole and capable of healing yourself
• The connection between hearts is essential for effective healing
• Understanding one’s limiting beliefs can lead to personal growth
• Healing requires openness and a willingness to explore deeper truths

“Healing doesn’t start with the physical.”

Real healing begins by addressing emotional, mental, or spiritual wounds, not just physical symptoms
Our physical state often mirrors deeper unresolved issues
Thoughts and emotions play a huge role in how our bodies feel and function
Lasting wellness involves caring for your whole self—mind, body, and spirit

“I like to teach people going into your heart and see yourself as this powerful being that is always connecting to something bigger than you.”

• We’re not meant to just survive; you’re deeply powerful and purposeful
• Leading from the heart can guide you to more authentic decisions and deeper healing
• Whether it’s God, Source, Spirit, or Universe—there’s something greater you’re always in touch with
• When you reconnect with yourself, you open up to everything else
• Seeing yourself as connected and powerful shifts your entire perspective on life

Nick McGowan (00:04.046)
Hello and welcome to the Mindset and Self-Mastery Show. I’m your host, Nick McGowan. Today on the show we have Ofer Niv. How are you doing today?

Ofer Niv (00:15.288)
I’m doing great. Thank you, Nick, for having me.

Nick McGowan (00:18.254)
Absolutely. I’m hoping that I got the name right because we just talked about it But I appreciate you being on I’m looking forward to the conversation. All right. Perfect. Good good So why don’t you guess get us started? Tell us what you do for a living and what’s one thing most people don’t know about you That’s maybe a little odd or bizarre

Ofer Niv (00:25.548)
You’ve done really good.

Ofer Niv (00:37.37)
What I do is energy healing. I’ve been doing it for about nine years and it’s not what I’ve done most of my life and that’s something that I really love to do. one thing that, what was the second question?

Nick McGowan (00:56.866)
What’s one thing most people don’t know about you that’s a little weird, little odd, a little bizarre?

Ofer Niv (01:02.062)
I served in the Israeli military. I was a commander and I remember trying to get into a particular unit when I was 18. And they did that that was a fitness test. So we were running and I was really not fit. And I remember at some point me falling and getting up.

and falling, it was like a road and we were running and getting up. And in the end, I just woke up in like a hospital after a very, very weird experience where I was running up and down a ladder, feeling like stuck forever. And so I don’t know if you heard about near death experiences where everybody is saying, you know, I saw the light.

This is not what I saw if that was a near-death experience. I saw a pretty frustrating place, but I’m still trying to figure that one out. That was a weird experience.

Nick McGowan (02:12.044)
That is weird. Yeah, it’s interesting that people have near death experiences and they claim they see different things. And I know that our brain can kind of trick us into seeing things that we want to see, just like how you can look into the clouds and think you see Jesus, let’s say, or whatever it is. Like people look at toast and they go, it’s Mother Mary or whatever, you We can associate to those things and try to assimilate what that would be. But

There are definitely situations that I’m sure are either supernatural or something that has just, it’s not normal. And I think it’s hard for our brains to actually wrap our head around that. So even in a situation where you’re like, I can’t really put my finger on it. I think we could probably just have an entire episode just about those sorts of things, you know?

Ofer Niv (03:00.598)
Yeah, I know that I know that I had something that that happened that is for me to sort of remember not necessarily figure out. But but that maybe that was one of the earlier experience where I started to you know, there is something there that is something that I can’t explain, because I’m very left brain is in the way that I was brought up and you know, in the corporate world and all that.

And it’s just, it really threw me off. I mean, I had other weird experiences, but this one was like I’ll never forget it.

Nick McGowan (03:40.558)
What a cool thing to think about that it’s not for you to actually figure out but for you to remember and that at some point maybe maybe that’ll pop back in your head at the exact moment when you needed to but it’s interesting because I’m sitting here thinking as you’re talking about what you’re what you’re saying the background who you are now the things that you do and actively where we’re at in this world what’s going on right now so for you that you were

in the Israel army, you are now an energy healer. And this is not a political podcast, but I can’t not have a conversation with you about this. So the things that have happened and are currently happening, and how do you feel about those things? But also, how does that tie into like we as people, and I’ll kind of caveat it with this, we as people are fucking dumb humans, like we’re just organisms that just hate on and kill each other. And

Outside of that and above all of that were really spiritual souls that are in these organisms, which is the energy side of it all. So I’m not exactly sure where to start with that besides you were in the Israel army. And there’s a lot of spiritual warfare and things that are going along with all of that, that people tie into energy. And there’s a lot of things that I think are.

outside of that that are just almost like looking down at ants and saying, well, they’re just ants and why are they running all over the place? So how does that tie in and what was that bridge to be able to have you go from that to where you’re at now? And it sounds like that moment was one of those moments that like shook you and shook your energy in a sense.

Ofer Niv (05:29.92)
My goodness, you have opened so many rabbit holes. But I like what you said about the human experience. We feel as humans so dumb like chickens run around with their heads cut off. And then there is this, what I really like to work with is to remind everyone.

Nick McGowan (05:47.757)
Yeah.

Ofer Niv (05:54.954)
spark of divinity inside of us that allow us to see that there is something far different and bigger than what we see with our eyes or sense with our senses. so when I was studying shamanic energy healing, I remember I was so

so energized by for the first time understanding that we can actually move energy and at night I would instead of sleeping I would be in bed and just sending ways of healing to the Middle East and to solve the Middle East problems. I’ll tell you that since then I learned that the best way that I do my job is to really work with who is in front of me and who is asking for my help and it’s

Nick McGowan (06:30.52)
Mm.

Nick McGowan (06:44.43)
Bye.

Ofer Niv (06:47.33)
much more effective. So I’m not gonna, for example, drive all over town looking for injured dogs to bring them home. But if a dog crossed my way and they’re lost, I’ll take I’ll take this dog in and find a solution. And and so I don’t feel a strong need to solve the Israel, Palestine issue. And you know, I grew, I was born into it. I grew up in it. I remember at the

Nick McGowan (07:01.12)
Interesting.

Nick McGowan (07:14.179)
Mm.

Ofer Niv (07:17.34)
six that was that was the the Six Day War going down into bunkers that were there before I was even born and I didn’t even know what this hole in the ground was and and so breathing it and then I went into the military and I I am I feel relieved that I didn’t actually injure anyone and I didn’t get it well actually

Nick McGowan (07:29.24)
Hmm.

Ofer Niv (07:46.318)
got injured, but that’s a different story. It’s not because of a war. And I have three brothers in Israel. And everybody was in the military because that’s what you do. It’s compulsory. You serve and some more than others. And I have a lot of childhood friends that are in the military. And I remember October 7, 2023, when

Nick McGowan (07:49.698)
it

Nick McGowan (08:01.646)
Yeah.

Ofer Niv (08:15.342)
the latest horrible episode started and I was on WhatsApp all the night with my childhood friends because they were happening, they happened to be in one of the, I don’t know if you know what a kibbutz is in Israel. It’s like a settlement or a farming place, but they were literally being attacked by dozens of people that came from the Gaza Strip.

Nick McGowan (08:31.074)
Hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Ofer Niv (08:45.466)
And so one person from the place that I grew up got killed that night, but they somehow managed to keep the fence around that settlement intact. And I was just there live and I was so in Northern California, really experiencing everything in very real time. was very tough. mean, I was shaken to the core.

And then there is everything that is happening after all the ruin that ensued. And I’m not going to be political about it. But I can tell you that these days is kind of challenging because everything, you know, maybe that that steps into, you know, how I think. I don’t have strong opinions. Like if you have a debate.

Nick McGowan (09:33.004)
Thank

Ofer Niv (09:43.308)
and you have two people arguing something, probably each one of them is gonna convince me. It’s like, I’m gonna change my mind quite often and I think at the core of this is because there is truth that I can see and maybe that’s why it’s easy for me to work with clients because I can see their truth through their eyes fairly easily and I don’t hold myself as the knower.

Nick McGowan (09:49.582)
and

Nick McGowan (10:06.03)
and

Ofer Niv (10:12.98)
of the ultimate truth as someone who has the, I don’t know, is compelled to enforce or to share or to push down the real answer, the real answer. And so I know what my friends from childhood think because, for example, they protest every weekend or almost every day, actually, in Tel Aviv.

Nick McGowan (10:38.574)
Hmm.

Ofer Niv (10:43.072)
against the war for returning the people that are still there, hostages. I can feel their pain and I can also feel other people’s pain. I listen to both sides and I have strong opinions when I feel somebody’s pain, but I don’t have like an objective opinion that says this is the solution or this is right in fact.

I’m probably not aware of a solution. I said, this was going on since 48 before I was born. It’s still going on and I don’t expect that there is gonna be any solution for this in my lifetime, unfortunately.

Nick McGowan (11:15.426)
Mm.

Nick McGowan (11:29.9)
Yeah, right. Back to the people. It’s been going on in pockets against all different types of people for ever. And there’s classism, racism. There’s all the isms. I can appreciate not having a dead set. This is what I’ve been told. So this is what I operate from.

I don’t really, I don’t think I ever really have those people on the show, which is a cool thing. guess it’s like almost a testament to the work that I’m doing with this too. You know, we, we attract others that are like that to be able to not just be locked in, I think almost in a personal development sort of way. when somebody says I’m a guru, I, I’m done. Like I can’t, I, we just can’t have a conversation at that point. If you think you know all things or you think you are at the top of whatever.

And there’s nothing else to do. Like the more that I see, it’s almost like a climb out of something and go, what the fuck is this? it’s another giant mountain. Okay. so to not come into that sort of, this conversation in a way of just saying, well, this is what I have been force fed and this is what I do. It’s part of the reason for.

Ofer Niv (12:46.402)
Yeah, when I meet people with very strong opinions about something, it usually wakes up the rebellion, the rebellious in me that says, no, I don’t have to think this way. And I don’t want to think exactly the way you do. And I don’t, I mean, I kind of know what that is about, because it probably goes into into childhood and into, you know, being told how to think and, and have a very strong opinions about stuff at home.

Nick McGowan (12:54.637)
and

Hmm.

Ofer Niv (13:16.596)
But I’m just not like that. I want to see the truth of a person inside and I know there are divine truths that that are sort of common but but I’m really interested in

I’m not saying that the truth is just a thing that is malleable and changes. I believe there are truths, but it’s not for me to necessarily call out your truth. It is for me to probably say align with your truth. You know, find the gaps, find when you’re not there and then let’s work on that.

Nick McGowan (13:46.99)
Mm-hmm. Sure.

Nick McGowan (13:55.788)
Or I mean, if we take into account the energy and just natural joy, love that people can have at their core, and we remove almost like the brutality or barbarism or whatever of just like hurting and trying to kill people just in general, then we would have different conversations.

There are things where like hurt people hurt people and that just continues to keep going. But how does that tie into the work that you do for you to be able to see it and understand it a bit outside of that and also be able to say I can have conversations. It sounds almost empathetic, if not directly empathetic. But how does that tie into the work that you’re doing and what your your spin on is? Because I appreciate that you’re saying people will come to you. Things will come to you that you then get to work with. So what does that look like?

Ofer Niv (14:52.076)
Yeah, most people, the way they find me so far, it has been mostly by word of mouth, by other people that just enjoyed that got a transformation through working with me that heal themselves physically or heal themselves. And I’m emphasizing heal themselves because I

Nick McGowan (15:09.506)
and

Ofer Niv (15:18.006)
I’m not going to say I healed them, but I’m going to say I helped them see something that they needed to see. And once you feel that you can call it empowerment, you can call it alignment. But once you see this, it’s like the healing doesn’t start with the physical. I mean, a lot of time, physical stuff gets resolved. That’s my experience. I mean, we didn’t talk about it, but my experience started from being diagnosed with with multiple sclerosis. And we can we can talk about it.

Nick McGowan (15:20.206)
Mm.

Nick McGowan (15:47.768)
Yeah.

Ofer Niv (15:47.92)
But just to go back to your question, when somebody comes to see me, I’m interested in.

I’m interested in limiting beliefs. I’m very interested in what is in them that tells them that they can’t. I mean, there are like, I work with seven primary limiting beliefs and I don’t think that I’m gonna remember them if I’ll tell you, but a really big one is a sense of separation. Like I’m on my own, I’m separate and I’m not part of, and it could be part of the divine, it could be part of society, it doesn’t matter.

Nick McGowan (16:26.478)
Thank

Ofer Niv (16:27.138)
but it’s the feel of I’m forsaken, I’m alone, I’m lonely. I’m not good enough, I’m not worthy, I’m not lovable, I’m bad. There are all sorts of things that the interesting things about limiting beliefs is they’re just opinions, but we receive them as total truths because when we were little, somebody did something or told us something or we…

Nick McGowan (16:47.928)
the

Thank

Ofer Niv (16:57.026)
just concluded somehow with our little unknowing mind that this is the truth and then we brought it in and then it sits in our unconscious. We don’t even know that it’s there, but it drives a reaction to stuff. And I love to discover these things and have clients understand this is going on and as long as this is going on, I’m blocked because this is how I’m getting blocked.

These are almost like energetic contracts that I made with myself to never let that go It’s there is something to limiting beliefs that says never like this is never going to be different than what it is and and it’s it’s a It’s it’s something that has to be has to be I’m not saying broken because these things are so sometimes are I anchored I say it energetically

Nick McGowan (17:30.284)
Mm.

Ofer Niv (17:53.952)
anchored physically into the body. Like it sends roots into the body and it’s not easy to undo it. But that’s a beginning of conversation. And it’s not just about the conversation. The conversation is mainly for the left brain to understand what’s going on. And then there is the energy work that is helping you to change in also other ways, because I love to work through the heart, which is, by the way, the biggest electromagnetic

Nick McGowan (18:18.35)
Hmm.

Ofer Niv (18:23.732)
organ in the body. There are all this work that proves that whatever you experience in your brain goes a fraction of a second can be registered electromagnetically in the heart. And so I have this thing where I take people into what I call the sacred space of the heart and then teach you how you can have your heart and

brain work together and you don’t have to only be in these thought loops that run your brain and are being fed by limiting beliefs. So limiting beliefs, negative emotions, that’s the door openers for me. This is where I start. Like I’ll ask you, if you’re my client, you told me a story. Now let’s just leave the story and tell me how do you feel? How do you feel when this story is going on? How do you feel? And this feeling like the biological,

Nick McGowan (19:11.284)
and

Ofer Niv (19:19.704)
chemical feeling in your body is like a window into what’s going on. And then we’ll go because that’s the surface and then we’ll go deeper into what’s happening at the core of all this. That really can be shifted maybe.

Nick McGowan (19:39.096)
Sure. What a fun adventure, you know, like, let’s get into all of it. It’s also really easy to say that when you’re not the one that is getting dug into. And then, you know, I’m sure you and I are similar in this way where like we’ll notice things and we’ll go, all right, this has gone way too fucking long. I need to do something about it. What’s happening here? And we’ll do that stuff to ourselves.

Ofer Niv (19:42.412)
Right?

Nick McGowan (20:03.062)
It’s really difficult to do that consistently and as deeply as you need to where somebody else like yourself can come in, be total outside perspective and say, well, this is what I’m seeing is what’s going on, et cetera, and being able to help. Everything, I think everything ties back to childhood. Somebody said something, you concluded, I liked it, you pointed that out that you just kind of arrived at this thing, well, if two and two equaled four before, they should equal the same now. And being able to understand that as we get older,

It can be really difficult for people. I often talk to people about limiting beliefs and negative self-talk and things of that sort. I find it incredibly interesting. And the reason why I keep the podcast going on topics like that is because everybody handles it differently. Everybody deals with things differently. Some people are super emotional. Some people are super logical. And they have a hard time getting into their emotions where some people have a hard time getting to the logic because they’re too emotional about these things.

and figuring out how we as individuals go about to then get down to that door to get further in to the basement of ourselves, basically to get to the actual box that’s sitting there. That’s under a bunch of other things. So obviously you can’t take us through sessions and you can’t walk us through all of that sort of stuff. But for somebody that’s listening to this and goes, look, I’ve done this stuff.

had different modalities, I’ve had subconscious processing, know, subconscious, yeah, I guess processing and overall help and therapy, and I’ve talked about all these things, but I’m still not fully there. One, is there any modality specifically that you’re like, I found this to blanket work for most people? And two, is there something that you would say prompt wise to be able to actually help them do that kind of off their.

on their own and they’re off time from their therapy or other modalities they’re working within.

Ofer Niv (21:58.914)
Yeah, yeah. I don’t know that there is one thing that is gonna work for everybody that I found. And I think that one of the things that I can do pretty well is tune into.

what makes what makes you what opens you up what what allows you to become more vulnerable so that you can you can actually listen to me and and inside of you say okay i’m i’m open i might not accept what you’re saying but i’m at least open to it and but what i’ve done and this is a so i’ve been i’ve been practicing for about 10 years but what i’ve done last year

is I said, okay, let’s slow down and look at what I’m actually doing and call it a name. And so the name became Alchemical Flame. And then I identified five different, I call them realms, it’s five different kinds of activities or modalities you can call that I will work with depending on what’s going on to help somebody.

And I’m sure that there many more than I’m actually, but I had to kind of classify it and make it simple. So that’s what I did. And so for example, I love bringing people into what I call the sacred space of the heart, because this is where you start getting the feeling that you’re actually more than your body. What you see with your eyes is not the only reality. And in fact, it’s the physical reality, but there are other realities.

that you can actually tap into and they’re not less real from what you perceive. You’re just perceiving this with your senses. But how many things we didn’t know is humanity and then somehow science discovered them and now it’s just, we don’t give it a thought anymore. So I’ll work for example with what’s called the astral plane, is, mean, scientists will call it a parallel universe. It doesn’t matter. It’s the quantum physics.

Nick McGowan (23:47.278)
Mm.

Ofer Niv (24:07.822)
has already proven that the concept at least is not strange to scientists, but I find great ways to work with the concept that what you do here is reflected there, what you do there is reflected here, and if you go there and it’s a higher level, you change that, then this level adjusts. And so, for example, a problem in the body. A problem in the body can be adjusted by going into

Nick McGowan (24:23.352)
Hmm.

Ofer Niv (24:36.888)
by doing this little journey I do every other week, free journeys, you know, with whoever wants to join. It’s on my website, but you go through this journey, a lot of times we will go to the astral plane. When you are on the astral plane, maybe you won’t see the body as the body. Maybe you’ll see it as a landscape in nature. You start seeing a river that dried, maybe that represents a hell issue. You work on these things energetically and then something adjusts in your body just because you did the work.

Nick McGowan (24:56.366)
Hmm.

Ofer Niv (25:06.278)
And, and you know, I don’t even care if this is the placebo effect and the nocebo effect or whatever, all everything is energy and we’re moving energy and things change because so what is the imagination? What is the belief? It these are these are things that this is how everything happens in our world by starting with that with the thought with the belief with the desire. And so these are these, this is the real deal. So that’s what I like to teach people is

Nick McGowan (25:12.494)
Thank

Ofer Niv (25:35.074)
going to your heart and see yourself as this powerful being that is always connecting to something bigger than you. And if you can tap into this, you’ll remember, you know, everything that is going on around me. It’s like, it’s there, but I’m, I’m, I’m, you know, I’m in it, but I’m not of it. It’s not, it’s not the real me. The real me is actually eternal. It actually doesn’t need fixing. It’s actually not broken. It’s never, it never has been. There’s not even a…

Nick McGowan (25:53.528)
Mm-hmm.

Nick McGowan (26:00.952)
Mm.

Ofer Niv (26:03.21)
you know, the whole concept of time, you know, it’s all eternal. I’m eternal. I’m infinite. And so I like to do this. And it helps, I know that it helps a lot of clients to feel, yeah, I’m not as weak. I’m not as helpless as I thought I am, because this is one strong belief that a lot of people have is I can’t help myself.

You know, I just can’t help myself. I need help. I’m helpless. And it’s so nice to have that change. And I work with trauma. So I call this the shadow realm. And it’s not so much the Jungian shadow kind of concepts, but it’s more of shamanic because I will work. And there you’re saying we go, everything happened in the childhood. I can also say a lot of things happened in previous generations.

Nick McGowan (26:36.642)
Hmm.

Nick McGowan (27:01.334)
Mm-hmm.

Ofer Niv (27:01.534)
of the family and then they got through the genome through the epigenetics into who you are today and our family systems they’re still operating in you and then there’s also the thing about past lives you go into past lives and past lives and karmic cycles where maybe you made a vow because of something that happens to you in a past life and this vow just because you died doesn’t mean it’s gone so unless you’re gonna

Nick McGowan (27:29.39)
it.

Ofer Niv (27:31.742)
do something and say, okay, well, I’m not as helpless as I think, but here is something that, you know, quote unquote, happened to me, it did happen to me, but I can choose now what to do. And one of the things I can do is dissolve an agreement, an energetic contractual agreement that I made with myself to never blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, or to always blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I can change that by just choosing.

Nick McGowan (27:52.204)
Yeah.

Hmm.

Ofer Niv (28:00.578)
because I can choose, I can always choose. And so these are some of the things I do. love to work with clients if they’re open to it. That usually requires openness in what I call the divine realm. The divine realm is where you see the least, all the polarity and the duality that we just talked about in the Middle East. When you go to that level, it’s like zooming out.

Nick McGowan (28:24.694)
Yeah.

Ofer Niv (28:30.09)
and seeing that, yes, everything is degrees of black and white and other colors and it’s all there. But there is another way to see it. And the way to say it is everything is allowed and everything and everything is there. And it doesn’t make you we don’t have to put moral values on everything just because it’s there, because it just is. And and when you change that way of saying things that

Nick McGowan (28:37.558)
Yeah.

Nick McGowan (28:55.566)
Thank

Ofer Niv (28:59.33)
All the importance that we assign to so many things is kind of, it’s taking a different perspective. And so I love to work with people on that level. And I also recognize that a lot of people that come to me, at least in the beginning, they’re desperate for a solution. And that will not be the immediate solution that comes to mind.

Nick McGowan (29:07.448)
Yeah.

Nick McGowan (29:13.102)
Thank

Yeah, you know, I think we as people just want it to go, all right, well, this is a table. I put a glass on the table. It stays there. Everybody agree to this? Like, are we all good? This is a table. I put stuff on it stays. Yeah, unless you knock it over. Like, okay, well, it’s not. And if healing and going through this stuff was the same, we wouldn’t have this adventure where we’d be able to go through almost like the micro verse in a sense.

Ofer Niv (29:31.554)
Yeah.

Nick McGowan (29:50.872)
to the depths and be able to see these things. Like even when your brain shows you a dry river bed, as you said, that could mean so many different things to different people, but only you would know. And there’s so many layers to it. I think even with like the table thing, these are actually just molecules that are just really hovering around, but we all agree it’s a table. And this is what this looks like and it’s solid, but it’s really just molecules. And there are so many layers and

different variations to all of that and how we get to that. I love that there’s work like this for us to do. It also shows that it’s not just the bullshit life that we can go through day to day. You you can see the chaos and nonsense that’s happening and go, well, fuck, it’s all terrible. And it’s really not. There’s so much more that’s happening. just, if we’re not actively looking in that direction and we’re not aware of those things, then we’re not able to look and…

Ofer Niv (30:34.328)
Right?

Nick McGowan (30:48.386)
be able to experience that stuff. So I appreciate the work that you do along the lines of that. And for the people that are on their path towards self mastery, what sort of advice would you give to them?

Ofer Niv (31:01.228)
Before I do this, I just want to tell you that even about the table, I mean, I just heard recently something interesting, and I think the example was a table, that for you to perceive a table,

whatever frequency something is, an object is, like a table has a frequency, you need to have that frequency inside of you. They need to match for you to be able to perceive a table. And that’s why we perceive it, because we have our sensory system that runs the same frequency. And so the interesting thing, and what if you didn’t see the table? What if you didn’t see the table? It probably means that something inside of you is just different. It doesn’t mean right or wrong.

but it means that you have a different way of perceiving things which could be just as true. But it would probably make you also bump into people sometimes. Yes, my, I guess what would help, what helped me and I want to have people understand too is

Thanks.

That’d be a weird life,

Ofer Niv (32:15.5)
Number one, you are, you’re not broken. So the fundamental idea is, because you’re not broken and you’re whole, don’t need, at a very deep level, you are whole, you don’t need fixing. If you can tap into that level, if you go deep enough to that place in you, or if you go high enough,

and discover the place that is not broken, it will really help you understand that you can always ask for healing, but that’s optional. And if you ask for healing, you will probably receive the healing before you even ask for it because you already are whole and you’re not in the trouble that you think you are.

I think this is the most fundamental thing that I can say. And then just a healing advice because we desperately look for different healers to heal us. This is my opinion, that the most important thing about how I work or how you work when you help others or how anyone works is the hearts connect. And when the hearts connect, you can use any modality and it really won’t matter. It’s two hearts.

that communicate, that connect to each other and then everything starts to shift.

Nick McGowan (33:39.352)
beautiful way to put that. I can’t not think about that just over the course of life. Your heart needs to connect with the people you’re with, the people you’re around, just even nature, specifically nature even, getting away from people. What a beautiful way to be able to put that. And I appreciate you being on today. Before I let you go, where can people find you and where can they connect with you?

Ofer Niv (34:02.198)
