During the challenging times of the COVID-19 lockdown, like many others, I found myself searching for ways to fill my time. One fateful afternoon, I was sitting in the sunshine of the Summer of ’21, listening to a podcast that would change the direction of my life forever—and, as a result, change the lives of many others. It was during this podcast that I had a deep, intuitive thought: to connect with a remarkable individual guesting on the show—David Ian Rogers, a mental health specialist from Manchester, England, also known as "The Heyoka." A Heyoka, in certain Native American traditions, is a type of empath often seen as a "sacred clown" or spiritual mirror. This explains why David is not your typical therapist.
His approach to healing is deeply rooted in his personal experiences and his profound understanding of the human mind. After experiencing significant trauma—losing two close friends in a tragic car accident—David embarked on a journey of self-discovery. He carried the guilt of surviving the accident while his best friends perished, unaware that this was the key to unlocking his “mind puzzle.” This journey led him to his own healing and the development of a unique technique that harnesses the power of diaphragmatic breathing and mindful questioning to clear traumatic memories and limiting beliefs. He describes this method in his book, “The Awakening of a Shamanic Heyoka Empath”. It has been transformative for many, including professional athletes, more predominantly in the English football leagues and individuals dealing with a wide range of psychological challenges.
When I first had a session with David, I was struck by the simplicity and effectiveness of his technique. The session was unlike anything I had experienced before—minimal verbal communication, yet profoundly impactful. After our session, which opened a new pathway for me, David graciously shared his technique with me, encouraging me to use it to help my family and friends. Little did I know at the time how powerful this technique would prove to be.
As I began applying David's method, I saw remarkable results. Friends and family members who had struggled for years, sometimes decades, with issues such as social anxiety, addiction, bereavement, phobias, and self-confidence experienced profound relief. It was as if the emotional and psychological burdens they had been carrying were lifted, allowing them to move forward with a newfound sense of freedom and clarity.
Encouraged by these outcomes, I started offering the technique to my clients. The results were nothing short of extraordinary. Clients who had been seeking professional help for years found that this technique cleared their issues in a way that other methods had not. It was incredibly fulfilling to witness the transformation in people who had been struggling for so long.
David's technique taps into the body's natural ability to heal itself. By using diaphragmatic breathing, it disconnects the emotional charge from negative thoughts and memories, allowing the mind to clear them effectively. This method doesn't just mask symptoms—it addresses the root causes, leading to lasting change.
Looking back on my journey with this technique, I am deeply grateful to David for his generosity in sharing his knowledge and for the profound impact his method has had on my life and the lives of those I've worked with. His story is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the incredible potential for healing that lies within us all.
As I continue to use and refine this technique, I am excited to share these experiences through my blog, hoping to reach even more people who may benefit from this powerful approach to healing. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, addiction, or any other form of emotional distress, I encourage you to explore this method. The results, as I and many others have found, can be life-changing.
