Meet Jim

Bio: What I now call “The Body Transcendent” is the present name for a process I started using for my own healing back in 1982 when I was going through a divorce. I have always been drawn to exploring Consciousness and Spirituality since I was a teenager, and I spent many years reading, searching, experiencing different teachings that I thought were helping me become a more conscious and spiritual human being.

For the most part this was true, except when it came to being emotionally mature enough to be in an intimate relationship. I was “perceptionally enlightened” as I called it, but on the emotional level I definitely had a good case of “arrested development.”

That’s when I was introduced to “Focusing” a process of paying attention to unpleasant body sensations and finding out the underlying beliefs that I discovered were the causes of my emotional immaturity.

At that point in my life I barely remembered anything about my life earlier than five years old (though I had remembered thousands of past lives!). As a result of using this process, and over the intervening years adapting it to my personal needs I now remember every significant moment in my life all the way from before conception, in the womb, birth, and all the developmental “traumas” I went through up to the age of 6 or so.

Today, I not only have all these memories, but I am also free of all the emotional traumas, decisions, and beliefs I had formed to cope with the original traumatic experiences. This includes right down into the body physiology that are called “cellular memories.”

As I learned how to do this for myself, I started sharing it with people in the form of private sessions, workshops, and for the past 16 years teaching it as part of Health-Choices’ holistic massage school curriculum here in New Jersey.

This journey has taken me far into the dark underbelly of the “Shadow Self” of humanity where I discovered my own involvement in what is called “trauma based mind control programming,” and how to “deprogram” myself and others from being a mind controlled “slave.”

I have also awakened to who I am as a Divine Being and that I incarnated into this lifetime to learn how to embody my Divinity instead of going out of the body for enlightenment as it has been taught in the traditional spiritual teachings on this planet.

I am calling a divinely embodied human being “Homo Spiritus” and I see The Body Transcendent as one of the many avenues of Awakening that is presently taking place on this planet at this time.

Mission: To have fun, live  a bodaciously delicious and magnificent life in an ageless body for as long as I choose, to love fully and openly as possible, eat as much “Arcturian” dark chocolate as I want without gaining weight or blowing out my pancreas, find others who want to live a “whoopjamboreehoo” life at least, and then go beyond anything we’ve ever imagined was possible!…At least that’s how I feel today.

Education/Credentials: For the past 10 years or so exploring how to really live an Embodied Life has been my main education, which is how I’ve always wanted to learn anyway…But if you need more traditional credentials to go by…

Human incarnations: I stopped counting after I reached  a 1000 many years ago, so let’s say I’ve been around the block quite a few times and leave it at that.

Nonhuman incarnations: (you don’t know me well enough yet for me to tell you about these!)

(Okay, those weren’t “traditional” but they were relevant to me, and this is my blog site.)
