Confidence Classic: Heal the Past, Free the Present, and Expand Your Future with Tania Lester

0:00Here's something most small business owners don't want to think about. What happens when something goes wrong? A customer slips, a shipment gets lost, a tool breaks, or someone gets hurt. You can lose thousands overnight. And most people only realize they need insurance after it's too late. That's why I like what Next Insurance is doing. They make getting business insurance as easy as ordering lunch online. You answer a few quick questions and Next figures out what you need. And just like that, you're covered. No phone calls, no headaches, no BS. Just fast, affordable coverage that actually protects you when things go sideways.

0:32Don't wait for a problem to remind you you're uncovered. Policies start as low as$29 a month. Get protected in minutes at nextinsurance.com. That's N-E-X-T insurance.com. All of this information that we read, that we're taught, there's a huge difference between having all of this information in your mind, which you are consciously aware of through your cognitive abilities of everything you've been taught, you've been hearing and you've read, there's a huge difference between what you have in the mind and actually feeling in your soul, in your heart, all of that information. When you actually feel in your heart and in your soul, everything you've read, everything that you resonate with, you know, cognitively, that's really when the magic happens.

1:24I'm on this journey with me. Each week when you join me, we are going to chase down our goals, overcome adversity, and set you up for a better tomorrow. I'm ready for my close-up. Tell me, have you been enjoying these new bonus confidence classics episodes we've been dropping on you every week? We've literally hundreds of episodes for you to listen to, so these bonuses are a great way to help you find the ones you may have already missed. I hope you love this one as much as I do. Hi, and welcome back. I'm so excited you are here with me today. You are about to meet my friend, Tanya Lester. She is a medical intuitive certified theta energy healing instructor and practitioner, spiritual advisor, psychic intuitive reader, and I am going to vouch for her on all of these things.

2:14She's traditional background in medicine, working in hospitals, 12 years of traditional medicine, which actually led her to this completely different, much more powerful career. And that's how I actually got to meet Tanya. So Tanya, I'm so excited for you being here today. Thank you. Thank you, Heather. I'm very excited and happy to be here as well. Just a brief as to why I would leave traditional medicine with a stellar career and jump into alternative energy healing medicine. I've always been intuitive and it always shocked me how I would have two patients with the same age, same ethnic background, same diagnosis, same prognosis, and why one patient would heal and the other one would succumb to the disease and eventually make it pass away.

3:04But I never really went into it that much because at that time, my best interest was in traditional medicine. But about 14 years ago, I became very ill and the right side of my face was paralyzed. It's called Bell's palsy. It was 93 pounds. I could not walk. I could not take care of my two-year-old son. I knew there was something as an intuitive wrong with my brain. And sure enough, when I went to have my MRI, I myself saw the 13 demylinizing lesion, brain lesions that I had. And when they told me that I was diagnosed with MS, multiple sclerosis, I knew that I had it at that time, as I can read the MRI.

3:45But at the same time, I knew that it wasn't mine to keep, that I had it for a reason, but that I could release it and heal it. and it took me about a year to after I went to the Mayo Clinic. I had a great Gary Weiss. He was my neurologist and through all of my exploration, I came about a lovely doctor, Dr. Rodriguez. He's in New York and he was the first MD that said to me, of course, you can replenish the myelin sheath around the nerve. You have to change your life. So there are people in traditional medicine that understand that you don't have to just take a pill or take medicine to be healed.

4:24Long story short, I began treatment in terms of kinesiology, energy healing. I changed my diet for about a year and a half. I was alcohol free, caffeine free, only organic. And I released all of the toxic relationships in my life. And eventually I moved to Bali, Indonesia to begin my new chapter in life with my four-year-old son. and it was there where I began to study all of the different alternative medicine techniques and it was when I moved there that I released the medication for MS which was like a bag was called Tysabri and I am so blessed and happy to say that I am 14 years medication free so and I do Bikram three or four times a week I take not one aspirin so I know that if I have this miraculous recovery that it's available for everyone and that's what really did it for me for me to say goodbye to a career that I love very much in traditional medicine but I'm so much more happier in what I'm doing now giving people options and healing and letting them know that they can change their lives they can change their lifestyles and be happy and manifest the world and the life of their dreams so thank you for giving me the opportunity to share that with your people.

5:44Thank you. Thank you. Tanya, it's such an amazing story. And it's so obvious you found your purpose, your mission, you know, and why you're here. And I'm so grateful you are here. I want to share with everyone how I came to know Tanya. I was at a spin class at the first week of January. And a very dear friend of mine ran into me and I hadn't seen her in a while because of the pandemic. And she said, something's off with you. You just seem not your regular vibrant self. You seem negative, stressed. What's going on? And I was in a court case with my ex-husband about my son and, you know, a number of different things.

6:20Pandemic was not living my best life for me. So I'd had a string of challenging things happening in my life, probably a year and a half. And so she was right when she called me out on that. And I said, yeah, this is all true. You're right. I'm going through a hard time. And she said, I'm going to give you a phone number. She said, but don't tell anybody because I'm so concerned that, you know, I got this phone number, you know, through these secret channels or whatever. She had been very ill. Doctors couldn't help her with her walking. And when she went to see you, she told me this, that within 24 hours, she was walking again.

6:54So once she gave me that testament to that, she had, you know, a visceral reaction. It was amazing experience. So once she explained that to me, she didn't tell me much else. you know, I reached out to you and I came in a week or two later for our first meeting. And I'll tell you within 24 hours of meeting with you, positive events started showing up in my life that are not explainable. And do you have people from all these people that come to you saying the exact same kind of things to you? Yes, yes, yes, yes. And what I tell people, okay, I may have told you this as well. I said, you know, the mind, sometimes it takes the mind a little bit longer to take in the healing itself.

7:40So when these amazing changes start to happen, the mind will immediately say, I can't believe it. And I tell people, you need to cancel that immediately and say, yes, I believe it. I am deserving of this. This is what I wanted to happen. This is what I'm manifesting so that you can stay in alignment with that amazing, you know, seven plane energy that is coming in to make these amazing changes in your life. So yes, I get that a lot. We are so accustomed to responding to not expecting miracles, not expecting amazing things happening. That when they do, like you said, we try to challenge it when in reality, we need to be receiving and grateful for it.

8:18And of course, expecting more of it. And it is, it's a mind shift. Exactly, exactly. The mind is more 3D than I think the ethereal body. And sometimes you just have to be very aware. That's one of the things I tell people. What are you thinking of? What are the thoughts that are going in your mind? Do you have a positive mindset? Are you fear-based? So you're right, Heather, 100 % correct to allow the mind to make that shift where you can accept and be grateful and know that more changes, positive miracles are coming. Okay, so I had shared this with you, but I need to share this with my peeps listening right now.

8:53I probably eight months ago, someone had said to me, Heather, there's this spiritual healer. She wants to meet you. She has this sense that she can help you. So I had never, I didn't know anything about healing people. You know, this is not something I'd heard about or had knowledge about. I had zero experience, but I'm an open-minded person. And I always say, if nothing bad can come from it, you know, why wouldn't you give it a shot? Right. And there's nothing bad with meeting someone that someone else's friends with. So I went to meet with the woman and it was a very uneventful session that I had with her.

9:25Nothing happened. You know, she's basically said to me, I see you very coiled up with negativity, anger, and you need to step into your feminine and release this. And that was really it. No experience of miracles, nothing like what I experienced with you. And so I believe, or I at least want people listening to understand there are all different types of people in the world. Maybe they call themselves different things. I'm not sure, but open your mind to the idea that there are some people who have been blessed with a gift, because I also know you said this, that you learned this from other people.

9:57There are other people in the world, including you that have this gift and have ability to truly heal people. Yes, that is correct. Thank you. One of the really cool things about how I connect with my patients, my clients is I always come from a place of love and I respect people. It's all about free will, Heather. If somebody wants to read the books that I suggest, great. If they don't, they don't have to. Somebody wants to get on an alkaline diet, they can. They don't have to. If somebody's not ready to go back to their childhood and release trauma, they don't have to because it's about free will.

10:35So it becomes a very trusting, loving, enlightening experience. But what I'm really, really good at and what I love is to go back to someone's childhood or any other early trauma. And I can release through creator. I'm the conduit. I'm the conduit. Thank you, God. I can release negative beliefs that people have about themselves, about humanity, about others. I mean, there's a difference between let's call him Fred. There's a difference between Fred embezzled money. I can't trust, you know, Fred in a business. And as opposed to people cannot be trusted in business. If you have a belief system that people can't be trusted in business, that's all you're going to attract.

11:20The same thing with love. If you have a belief system that men cannot be trusted, God bless you, that's all you're going to attract. So it's a matter of going back in time. And, you know, I will be guided and told when this person created this belief, why they created this belief, give the person what they didn't have in their past, really like a computer. You pull out that negative belief, like the hard drive, clear it, and then you download with the client's permission, the new program that's going to facilitate what this person wants to achieve in their life. Whether it's health, love, family, business, money, whatever it may be, the universe is limitless.

12:03You can have it all. Well, I have experienced this firsthand. So I just want to share a little bit so everyone understands what it was like. You know, I didn't know what to expect the first session I had with you. And immediately you asked if you could read me and heal me, which I said, yes, I was open to that concept and idea. And I wanted that. And immediately you felt pain from me. And you started with healing pain in my early childhood pain with a relationship with my mother, you know, starting going back years and years ago. And one of the things that was interesting to me having had a couple of sessions with you now is that it's almost like different layers you know that's the best way I can verbalize it that you started healing these earlier things and then as you heal those things and then I left you know when I had some time back in my life separate from you new things would come up into my mind and I thought oh my gosh this just popped in my head out of nowhere I haven't been thinking of it and one of those examples which we worked on, which was super powerful, was this idea that my dad had started an entrepreneurial business, and it failed years and years and years ago, I'd forgotten about it.

13:09But then that was impacting my business now today, because of a belief system that I wasn't aware I was dragging around. Exactly, exactly. The subconscious mind is like an onion. So sometimes you peel layers away, and then you're working to the best of your ability moving forward in life. And then all of a sudden you won't go back, but you'll have a little bit of a snag or you'll come in like something just doesn't. A lot of times people will start to remember their childhood stuff that they had repressed or certain memories like yourself with a parent, like, Oh my God, I just remembered a lot.

13:47And when that happens, it is like an onion and it is layers. You know, You just peel that belief away and replace it with a positive one. If it's an emotional trauma or pain, that can be healed as well. So yes, you are correct. It is very much in layers. Okay, so one of the common questions I get or receive is, well, how many sessions do I need? And to be honest, I'll tell the person, I'll let you know after the first session. Most people, I would say two to three sessions, and then you're pretty good for some time. If it's a physical dis slash ease, the person has cancer, fibromyalgia, diabetes, what have not, and they want to heal that disease, that takes a little bit more time.

14:33That's usually once a week for about a month, then every two weeks and every two weeks, because a lot of these physical diseases are brought about by toxic relationships, toxic beliefs. I've seen a lot of healing. I've seen people be remissioned from diabetes too, from cancer, from MS, including myself, fibromyalgia, you know, lupus. I've seen it. But when you're physically sick, it's a little bit more of a process than let's say I want to manifest this or I'm feeling blocked or how can I acquire, you know, love or what have not. Meet a different guest each week.

Like that there's a consistent ask or challenge that people are having? Okay, that's a great, great question. Thank you. I would say the majority of people are not happy and some of them are not happy because of a relationship. They're not happy because of a health challenge. Most people come because they've tried everything and they're just nothing's working. So I would say a lot of my clients have been diagnosed and they're actually taking the medication and they're not getting better.

19:01If anything, they're getting worse. And I would say the majority are people that are not happy in their interpersonal relationships and need clarity and need healing and trauma so that they can feel complete again to make the best decision for themselves. I also have a lot of people in recovery, okay, people who want to be in recovery for whichever substance they may be having a challenge with. And I also have a large clientele when someone passes away, especially during the pandemic. I had so many people that would call me because a loved one passed away unexpectedly because, you know, they had acquired the COVID-19 and they never had the proper closure.

19:47They were not allowed in a hospital. They weren't able to speak video-wise. I can actually, I'm not a medium. So I'm not the person, the soul. First of all, death is an illusion. It doesn't exist. Okay, when the soul leaves, it goes to another plane. Energy never dies, let's say. But when I connect with the energy of the deceased person, I'm not a medium. They don't come into my space, okay? But I can give messages to those persons. and whatever I'm seeing from the soul, really the person will, oh my God, that's my dad. Oh my God, it's my sister. Oh my God. And it really gives people peace. It really gives them closure so that they can somehow keep this person alive in their heart, guilt-free because they couldn't see them, guilt-free because they could not, you know, communicate with them.

20:38And I have people that come to see me as well for business reasons. You know, I'm having a challenge with this business partner or this person? What's happening here? So I say I've never had someone ask me to heal something or give them a psychic reading that I have said, I can't do that. Like I've never had any to this day. Can you give me a reading on this? Or can you do this or blah, blah, blah, where I haven't been able to receive a message to sell that person or how to heal that person energy wise. The type of alternative medicine that I provide It really is inclusive of everyone, all situations, I would say.

21:14So one of the things that I've found to be so interesting about this whole process and interaction that I've been lucky enough to have with you is that, you know, back to the onion. I've been taking notes along the way to watch how my thought process has changed. And not only my thought process, as I mentioned to you before, I was having an issue with a rash and it healed itself. Right. Like different physical things have happened, but then actual business opportunities have showed up. And my court case that's been going on for over a year that had no end in sight miraculously settled within one week of our first session.

21:50You can't plan these things. You can't predict these. I mean, that's my experience and my other friends that I've sent to you or have sent me to you that have worked with you. It's not something that you go in there and forecast. OK, here's what's going to happen. And I'm crystal clear. it is like a domino effect of a multitude of different things that continue to keep evolving and changing for the better that was amazing by the way i'm glad you brought that up because it's not just healing it's manifesting so within the session if somebody has a fear or a belief system that is blocking them from creating this amazing manifestation that you did to have this you know core case done you know whatever i'm holding on to you know which was cleared for that to come to fruition you know I also teach people how to manifest I also teach people how to increase their intuition how to become empowered okay within their own person so yes I feel that if somebody wants something to change in their life and they want to learn how to manifest we you know the first thing I ask is you know what's your intention why do you want this to happen does anything scare you about what's happening maybe you'd be surprised sometimes people will say things and I'm like okay that's from a fear base or a negative and so a lot of what you're seeing is miracles showing up it's not just healing the mind the body and the spirit it's also teaching the client how to access this energy field that some people call source creator of all that is so that they can actually have these manifestations come to fruition as everyone listening knows you know, my old life was very much corporate America and never, I thought people who talked about manifestation were on drugs or hippies.

23:34And I truly did not. I thought that that was them. They're over there. And I'm part of the hardworking population driving value in the U S like, I just saw that as so separate from me. And so through this whole journey, since getting fired, I've opened my mind to a lot of different things. And I 100 % believe in manifestation. And that's something that you've worked with me on. And I'll tell you, you know, I've watched The Secret. I've read all these different books. And, you know, again, all this information goes back hundreds and hundreds of years, if not probably thousands and thousands of years that I haven't accessed yet.

24:07But one profound statement that you made to me that helped turn the switch on for me, and I don't know if anyone's struggling with this, maybe this will help them. I was saying to you when we were in a session, I said, I just don't understand. It seems fleeting. Like once in a while will happen, but I don't have control over it. I don't know how to make it happen on the regular. I feel like I'm blessed at a certain moment or time. It could happen, but I still don't know what I'm doing. You know, it's not methodical and I don't have a handle on it and I want to have a handle on it. And you said to me, do you know what your purpose is?

24:42And I think you called it divine timing is, you know, why you're here on this planet. And I said, of course I do. Yes, I know exactly what it is. And you said, do you see that certainty and that conviction that you have in that? I said, yes. She said, you need to have that same certainty conviction and knowing when you're manifesting something. Can you talk a little bit about that? Most people are pretty much cued up. There's a lot of information out there. I'm not the only one. You're also a purveyor of health and wellness and success. Okay. So there's a lot of us out there, but all of this information that we read, that we're taught, there's a huge difference between having all of this information in your mind, which you are consciously aware of through your cognitive abilities of everything you've been taught, you've been hearing, and you've read.

25:31There's a huge difference between what you have in the mind and what you actually, all of that information in your mind and actually feeling in your soul, in your heart, all of that information. When you actually feel in your heart and in your soul everything you've read everything that you resonate with you know cognitively that's really another when the magic happens when you actually feel it with that conviction when you were like of course this is my divine time so that type of conviction and that feeling it in your heart I think is when the magic you know it happens before that transition but I really feel that that's key for all of these blessings to keep coming to someone to to everyone you know to actually feel and know and just know that you don't know when it's going to happen but that is going to happen so one of the things teach people is to make a manifestation list for their divine timing and I think that's the challenge with most people I want to have a family I want to open my own business.

26:38I want to move to, I don't know, Colorado, whatever it may be. And I think they start to, in their minds, try to figure out how that's going to happen. And that kind of can slow it down as opposed to, I want to move to Colorado in 2023 for my divine timing to be able to do this, this, this, and this. Thank you, universe. Thank you, creator. and yeah, you want to Google real estate. You want to kind of see what's happening in Colorado, but you don't have to figure out exactly how that's going to happen and when that's going to happen. I'm not referring to someone who's in a corporate position where the company moves to another state and then moves you to another state.

27:19I'm referring to someone who just doesn't want to be somewhere and wants to move somewhere else. So wants to move out of the country or whatever it is that their manifestation is to put it out there and know that it's available and that's going to happen, staying in the present moment and not trying to figure out exactly how that's going to happen. For me, I've spent my entire life white knuckling and working so hard doing the last bit that you just said, but trying to figure out how to make it happen. So all this time I was spending all this effort and angst on something that I should have been letting go of.

27:55Yes, I will use myself as an example. I've been practicing energy alternative medicine for 12 years now and I have a nice successful prior practice thank you on universe and a lot of my clients are video well before COVID because I've never I've never had the privilege of meeting them but you know we'll we'll have a session every three or four months or what have not and one of the things that I was manifesting was to start doing a podcast to start I kid you not it's like wow I really want to start being interviewed you know my son's already 16 and a half will be in college next year I'll have the time to travel around start speaking publicly I just put it out there put it on a list and then I don't know about three or four weeks ago all of a sudden you're leaving and you turn around and you say by the way I'd love to have you on my podcast I almost fainted and I was like keep it together Heather's your client and I was like so I was beaming with joy I had a smile from here to here and when you left and I was just like yes Thank you, universe, because that's what I really wanted to happen.

29:02But I didn't do anything. I didn't start calling people. Hey, can I be on your podcast? It just happened. And that's another example of just wanting something to happen, knowing that it's going to happen and just throwing it out there without an emotional attachment to when. When you look at people and I'm thinking of myself in particular, because of course, I put wishes out to the universe, like in hopes and dreams as I've moved down this path over the last four years. But for me now, when I look back, there were blocks that were up that were blocking me from ultimately having that really easy flow that you just described.

29:39What are some of the blocks that people could have that are in their life that are preventing them from accessing those answers? I would say one of the prevalent ones are scarcity beliefs, OK, where there's not enough. So like, for example, someone will say, will come and say, oh, my God, I'm so excited. I just got my real estate license. But I don't know if anything is going to come out because there's so many real estate licensed people out there. That's a scarcity belief. It's a block because the truth of the matter is, is there's enough to go around for everybody. So I feel this belief that if you have this much, then you're taking away from what I can have or what's available for me is a big block for people.
