Good to have some masculine energy on the podcast. What's up, jimmy? How?
Jimmy Arellano:are you today, thank you? Thank you for having me on here. This is actually my second podcast ever, oh my God, no way Welcome.
Amanda O'Mara:Welcome my second podcast ever. I hope it's good yeah I have a feeling it's gonna be really good and juicy here today. Um, jimmy is also a spinal energetics practitioner. That's how we've connected recently and I feel like you're really known for the reiki stuff. Correct me if I'm wrong so yeah big time reiki.
Amanda O'Mara:Uh, I've definitely seen some of your videos through the gram as far as how you work with your clients, and it's so beautiful to witness that on video, so I can't even imagine like working with you, which I hope to experience someday with you, yeah hopefully, but Jimmy's in Vegas, I think you're in Los Angeles as well, is that correct? So I live in Las Vegas and I do you're in Los Angeles as well, is that correct?
Jimmy Arellano:So I live in Las Vegas and I do travel to Los Angeles once a month, and then I will go to Phoenix as well.
Amanda O'Mara:That one is more like every other month too, so okay, yeah, do you work with clients online as well, or is it all in person?
Jimmy Arellano:I do, I do virtual I do. I've been doing a lot of Germany, sweden, australia, just people from all over the world.
Amanda O'Mara:Oh, my God.
Jimmy Arellano:So, cool.
Amanda O'Mara:I love it. I love it.
Jimmy Arellano:Okay, so tell us a little bit more about what you do. Do you also teach Reiki? I do so because I am a Reiki master. I do teach Reiki. I do so because I am a Reiki master. I do teach Reiki and, in a way, I try to teach my form of Reiki too. So it's not just normal Reiki and I tell everyone like the first thing is mentally preparing them to want it.
Jimmy Arellano:Because one thing I've learned is anything that has to do with the body, you first have to go through the mind, the mind first, because that's like the axis. So it's like them opening up their mind and them giving that permission to me, but to themselves as well Like, okay, what is it that I might be storing? Because that's one thing that I like to focus on is more of emotional release.
Amanda O'Mara:Yeah.
Jimmy Arellano:Emotional release Because I've been researching a lot of doctors like Dr Gaber Matei or Dr Tara Swift you know she's a neuroscientist, I believe, yeah, so just I want to go like me as a man, like I like to go more in like logic, like science-based Like. Okay, that way it's not just like this.
Amanda O'Mara:I find myself there too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jimmy Arellano:Because I need a reason. Why is this happening? Why is it working? How is this energy like actually flowing? So with me it was more like having this very like spiritual awakening, where my hands started moving and if I get near anyone, I'd like start doing surgery on them.
Amanda O'Mara:Do you Okay? Yeah, would you call it psychic surgery, because I do that as well sometimes with my clients.
Jimmy Arellano:Yeah, I guess you would call it Ener energetic surgery, aura surgery, whatever it is. But yeah, that's what it was. And I didn't know what I was doing. It was like what am I doing?
Amanda O'Mara:I was going crazy.
Jimmy Arellano:Yeah, I was going crazy, but it was just like so yeah, so. I do teach it. I like to teach my form of everything, everything that I'm learning and I'm still learning. So anytime I'm teaching, I'm telling everyone like, yeah, I may be your teacher right now, but at the same time I'm a student yeah, I'm a student, because I'm gonna learn from every single one of you and I'm constantly learning.
Jimmy Arellano:I'm constantly trying to broaden my, my spectrum of of this energy healing, of this energy work yeah, I, I love that, like as a teacher, you're also a student.
Amanda O'Mara:I think we forget that as we begin to expand and evolve in our line of work, and I think it's such a humbling experience too, because you're always learning and growing. I'm super curious, so just explain, like, what Reiki is and then how your Reiki is a little bit different.
Jimmy Arellano:So Reiki is a Japanese word that stands for universal life energy and it is more of a subtle energy. So some people tend to say it's more like water. I guess In a way it's more like just. I guess in a way it's more like just calming more relaxing I guess, in a way, I go in with a little bit more force than just smooth.
Jimmy Arellano:I like to go in a little bit more like kind of like spine energetics, the way, the way dr sarah like teaches us, like kind of, but um, so that's what kind of where reiki is. Reiki is like nice, you know, maybe touching, maybe not touching. I personally like to touch a lot and I like to do firm touches. I like to. I like that person to feel the pressure, so that way you're making that body part aware, you're making that body part aware, so that way it's like their attention is going to there. So if I'm on their heart, I don't put so much pressure on the heart, but I do want them to know that this is where I'm at and I want that attention to be in that area.
Jimmy Arellano:If I'm touching them in a certain spot, especially in the feet, that's one thing that I feel a lot of practitioners neglect is the feet, but for me I find it that when I can open someone up from the feet, they will open up so much and release so much from there too. Wow, because there's a big disconnection in the feet, because the feet, like we, have chakras on our feet too. So when those chakras are blocked, you can touch the earth all you want sand, water but if there's no connection, then you're not having that connection with the earth.
Amanda O'Mara:You're not grounded, you're not.
Jimmy Arellano:You're not. So for me, whenever I start to open up those chakras in the feet like they feel it's almost like something being pulled out of there or like a valve just opening up and just releasing, oh wow. So yeah, so that's kind of what Reiki is. Reiki is just like of giving nice energy and it's channeled energy, channeled energy. So that's kind of what Reiki is and that's life force, energy.
Amanda O'Mara:So I do Reiki as well, and so tell us, like, how are you evolving with your own twist with it? How is it a little different? Is it through that touch and how you focus on the heart and the feet more?
Jimmy Arellano:It's through touch, but I believe it's also the practitioner that has to be in a healed state. So it's not just learning how to do energy words, but the more a healer is healed, the more they can heal. So it's us becoming the medicine to be able to give the medicine I agree with that, because if we never heal, say, for example, grief. If we are going to grief and or we've never experienced grief, how can we kind of like heal someone with grief?
Amanda O'Mara:yeah, it's kind of hard, but you can't hold that space for them exactly you can.
Jimmy Arellano:Yeah, you can't understand them.
Amanda O'Mara:You can't see them and allow them to process that as well, and you can always tell like yeah, I swear, like healers or people like us that have are doing what we do now. We've been through the thickest of the thin just to be able to hold space for people.
Jimmy Arellano:Correct, correct. Especially like someone has been through very or a lot of trauma. Somebody has been through a lot of trauma and they actually like heal from it. I tell those people, like you are going to be a great healer and it doesn't have to be with energy, it could be with anything. It could be with hugging, with giving somebody a smile, like anything, anything.
Amanda O'Mara:Yeah, so true. Yeah, so so. You're a spinal energetics practitioner too, and I've explained a couple of times on the podcast kind of the difference between the two. But I'd love to hear from you your interpretation and the differences and what you have found so far yeah, so for me it's a big difference.
Jimmy Arellano:It is a big difference, yeah, um, and I think it's because of the way that I work and spine energetics is a little similar, but it does have a little bit more of like rules, in a way, versus with me, I have like there is no rules where I have to start a certain way, but spine energetic is very, very unique where you tap into more of the nervous system through the spine and I think that's where it's more incredible too. So I think it's just, they're just different flavors of an ice cream.
Jimmy Arellano:I would say different flavors, and you may like chocolate more yeah, yeah, and, and sometimes you may get like bigger scoops of spine energetics and smaller scoops of reiki. So there is like a little bit of of difference. There is difference. There is more of um, like, the way that I like to work is with reiki, for me is more like extracting versus spine energetics is more like giving for that person to just work on themselves, with their body, with their nervous system. Yeah, it's all in, it's all inner work with spine energetics.
Amanda O'Mara:With me it's inner, but more like extracting more releasing more yeah, yeah, pulling it out, yeah, so for me like pulling and throwing versus spinals, like giving and leaving it.
Amanda O'Mara:There's no like pulling out or nothing like yeah, well, if you think about it, so, like reiki, you're working with life force energy, with spinal energetics, you're working on the client's energy, and that's how it's like the main difference, right, and so, yeah, you're not really pulling it out for them, they're doing it themselves, and so you're giving them that space to really process and integrate on their own, and we're just there to guide them.
Amanda O'Mara:And how to remember how to do that essentially, um, yeah, so how tell us a little bit more in like what got you into your line of work? I'm sure you have a story, yeah.
Jimmy Arellano:So, like I said, like I had like a very strong spiritual awakening where I didn't know anything about energy work. I didn't know anything about energy. I was seeing a therapist and she actually so she's. She's Mexican and she actually so she's. She's mexican. So she incorporates um, bars or access conscious, also reiki, into her practice. So it's not just like let's sit down and talk, it's like she likes to start off with access conscious or bars, which is the same thing, it's just known different. And basically what that is is the practitioner touching energy points in your head and kind of doing like a like a restart on your mind and body, just doing a restart on your mind and body. And she actually sent me videos on youtube of how like it works, where they put those little, those little sticky things on the head to to see do you remember what it's called what she does?
Amanda O'Mara:it's called bars. Oh, it's called what she does, it's called bars. Oh, it's called bars. Oh, I've never heard of it.
Jimmy Arellano:Yeah, so it's more known. They do it a lot more like in Mexico, so out here you could find it known as bars or access conscious. So that's why it's either or.
Amanda O'Mara:Oh, interesting Gosh there's so many modalities out there. I want to try them all.
Jimmy Arellano:So when she did that on me, I was just like okay, cool.
Amanda O'Mara:I feel fine, real quick. I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the listeners of this podcast. Your support means the world to me.

Jimmy Arellano:And then, all of a sudden, I just started laughing. I'm laughing. And then she's like what's going on. I'm like I don't know. You tell me. And then I start crying and I'm crying, and I'm crying and all of a sudden, like the room gets like bright. I have my eyes closed and the room is bright, and that's when I my hand just starts lifting up and something grabs it and puts it on my heart and then they just start going crazy and I'm just like what's happening?
Amanda O'Mara:What do you think was happening? A spiritual awakening, a spiritual awakening, yeah, yeah, a spiritual awakening. What was yours like, though, like? Did you like visions or downloads?
Jimmy Arellano:So I had no visions, no big downloads of just, but it was more like feeling everything. So for like the first two, three months, my hands would move like crazy, without me trying, and I didn't know how to make it stop. I didn't know how to make it stop. I'm like the only way I could, like, I guess, not pay attention to it was like watching tv, watching a movie or something, and because, if not, then I'd just hear something and then they'll start to. So one day I was meditating and I envisioned like somebody laying down and me going, like that was my hands, and I didn't know what it was.
Jimmy Arellano:So I Googled healing with hands and then I saw these different modalities and then I saw Reiki, and then I went and got my Reiki certification. So then, once I actually got my level two, I started practicing on people, which wasn't until 2022. So this happened to me in 2021. And in 2022 is when I actually started doing sessions on people, just people that I knew, and then they'd have reactions where, like, why did my hand move? And I'm just like I don't know, you know. So for me it was just like practicing, like trying to find the answers, constantly trying to find answers of what's happening. What's happening to me? Because everybody thought I was going crazy. Right so, right, so, so Fast forward. Once I got my master Reiki, that's when I actually decided to OK, now I'm going to try to do it for the public, which was until last year, in 2023. So then that's when I started doing it more and more and more.
Jimmy Arellano:But as I do it more, that's when I started learning more, learning more of what I'm doing. How I'm doing, yeah, how do I get people prepared? And that's when I started learning how to prepare people, how to prepare them for mentally first and then physically. So, yeah, it's like a little one, yeah so one thing that was really crazy too is like my wife. She does um taekwondo, oh cool. And so anytime she sparred with me, she'd whoop my ass like she'd I like her, but when this, when this happened to me, I kid you not, it's almost.
Jimmy Arellano:I got a download of knowing exactly how to fight, where, like if he was about to like lift up her leg, I'm already blocking it. So and it makes sense afterwards, like how a lot of that has to do with energy. It has to do with energy, so it's like now, it's like okay, now you're feeling of that energy too, what the person's gonna do.
Jimmy Arellano:So as you're speaking, I'm thinking of like star wars, like the force, like yeah, you're using your hands to block, like, and just yeah it's crazy that, or even like the first matrix movie, where, oh, they're like downloading, like just oh, I know how to fight, I know how kung fu, or I know how to do this. It's like downloading all of a sudden the. The body knows how to do these things like muscle memory.
Amanda O'Mara:Yeah, that's what it is.
Jimmy Arellano:It's like muscle memory.
Amanda O'Mara:It really is like it's. We do know, we do know it's a subconscious movement, right, we get in our head, like you said at the beginning, and that's why that's like one thing we have to work on first is to bring safety back into the body.
Amanda O'Mara:So now that you can go back into the natural part of you that does move a little bit, it's all subconscious and like you're in complete control the whole time of course, but when you fully surrender and just allow that life-first energy from reiki to move through you, it's like I I actually haven't told many people about my experience with Reiki and it actually it was kind of the doorway into energy healing work for me, and this was years ago. But I just remember going through a really tough time and trying everything doctors, medications, you name it and I found this practitioner in Denver, colorado, and I'm laying there. It was like a 90 minute session and then it wasn't toward till the tour, yeah, yeah, towards the end that she and I didn't even know this. My eyes were closed the whole time. I was very relaxed. It was very relaxed, you know.
Amanda O'Mara:Just, I was going out, I was kind of going to this deep sleep and she started putting her hands over my heart without my knowing and then all of a sudden I felt like I was grasping for air and like something was being pulled out of my chest and my chest started like pumping up and all of a sudden I just like felt energetically something release and I was like starting to cry and she's like are you okay? I'm like I don't know, am I okay? What's going on? I was so confused and I feel like, when I see your videos, that reminds me of my experience with Reiki for the first time, and like she did not touch me one bit, not once on my body, and I left that room, that building, like I felt like a train hit me afterwards, like I had this high, like I felt exhausted.
Jimmy Arellano:I went home and slept for hours and yeah so what was going on and that's what happens when so emotions right, emotions get stored in the body. It could get stored in body tissues, in organs, yeah, anywhere. It could even be like in joints. So when the body's releasing that, it's almost kind of like a golf ball going through like a straw of energy. Just yeah, now you're left sore, you're left sore, your body feels sore.
Jimmy Arellano:You could feel sore in certain areas if it was from your heart, so that must have been you releasing something from here oh, it was in the heart, for sure, yeah, yeah, and that's why you physically feel exhausted too, because sometimes the body uses a lot of energy to release to really the body uses a lot of energy to release it was literally my entire body.
Amanda O'Mara:I was just sore. That was a good part, too sore, just like, just Just very high. I just remember trying to drive home. I need to go to bed now, yeah.
Jimmy Arellano:You're just like, and that's because your body is also going into homeostasis too. So imagine you're probably in stress the entire time of your life. Well, I wouldn't say the entire time of your life. Well, I wouldn't say entire time of life, but maybe throughout that period of time stress, anxiety, so now all of a sudden your body's like we're back to normal. Then all of a sudden it's like now you can relax, because stress is very important for us. So back in the days it was meant for if you need to run away, if you're being attacked by an animal or right you know, a tribe, whatever you want to call it right.
Jimmy Arellano:So your body releases, releases all these chemicals, endorphins, all these stress hormones they start to elevate, so that way you can think quick run, quick adrenaline. So nowadays we're doing that exact same thing, but we're not in danger, we're not, we're creating it correct now your body goes back. All these hormones start to go back to where they're supposed to, and guess what your body's like?
Amanda O'Mara:finally, we can relax back to balance, back to rest and digest yeah, oh wow, yeah, your work is. It just looks so, so powerful. Um, what about, before the awakening, anything you want to share about your story there?
Jimmy Arellano:before the awakening, I used to actually own nutrition supplement stores, so I actually had. Yeah, so I had a couple out here in Las Vegas, one in Arizona, and that's kind of what I was focusing on. A lot too was, I guess, in a way healing, but it was more, like you know, with supplementation. So I have a nice background in supplementation too, but that's kind of what I was doing, so that's why I wasn't never into any of this yeah, any of this so that.
Jimmy Arellano:So that's why it was like a big 360. It was like what am I doing what? How am I doing this?
Amanda O'Mara:like it was very like so it's really because the experience that you had was so awakening and enlightening that you're like I.
Jimmy Arellano:I need to get into this more essentially I wanted to get into it, but I would always fight it too, because I was like I had no trust in myself, like yeah what am I doing?
Jimmy Arellano:how am I doing this? Like there was no trust in myself. So I think that was the biggest thing is for me to learn to trust. So that's why, once I got my Reiki, level three, master Reiki, that's when I kind of like convinced myself like okay, once I get this, then I will try to go and do it for people, try to pursue it, try to pursue it.
Amanda O'Mara:Yeah.
Jimmy Arellano:Once I started getting in it then it was like okay, but first I think it has a lot to do with trust yeah, trust was a big one for me too.
Amanda O'Mara:So, as you know, in spinal energetics down in the hips process e internal trust state and um, yeah it, that was huge. Just trusting yourself, but also realigning in your heart and finding that passion within you and remembering your truth and your gifts and who you're really meant to be. So you've been doing this for over a year, then two years Cool Wow. Yeah, and your social media. How are people with watching your videos? I don't know about you, but I get a lot of interesting comments.
Jimmy Arellano:So you know what? The interesting comments barely started showing up like two, three months ago. Before that it was all like oh my gosh.
Amanda O'Mara:Really.
Jimmy Arellano:This is amazing, this is beautiful, and now it's like what the hell are you doing?
Amanda O'Mara:I know they think it's like an exorcism or something like.
Jimmy Arellano:I mean some some of them do yeah turn almost into like an exorcism, end up throwing up yeah and and I like, I allow it, like I want, like if I tell them, like if you feel like throwing up, do it. Do it, because that's your body trying to push something out.
Amanda O'Mara:Yeah, it's purging. That is your body, exactly.
Jimmy Arellano:It's purging.
Amanda O'Mara:It's just a frequency leaving. It's not an exorcism, it's frequency leaving Not to scare anybody here Exactly. I feel like that implies like something evil, but it's like you're not, you're just it's. It's just a disconnection, it's a tension pattern that we're holding on to be, probably because of, um, an event that happened to you or a person, and your system is wired that way, and so naturally we may need to let that go, release that through purging or through some sort of release, right?
Jimmy Arellano:Correct. Yes, especially a dense energy like anger.
Amanda O'Mara:Oof yeah.
Jimmy Arellano:Like anger.
Amanda O'Mara:I love anger.
Jimmy Arellano:Somebody's really angry. Those are the ones that try to come out this way.
Amanda O'Mara:Anger's my friend, yeah.
Jimmy Arellano:Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think one of the biggest ones that I released was fear, because when I was able to release fear, that's when I just felt like a lot more enlightened. I just that's when I'm able to help people release some of that fear too, because fear I think is probably the most everybody has some fear you know yeah like not having enough fear of being good enough, fear of X Y, z.
Amanda O'Mara:You know and you know you're. You're an entrepreneur too. You have your own business, and so, if you're in business, this is the calm CEO podcast. There's a lot of fear in. You know the imposter syndrome scarcity, people pleasing, just fear of making it, fear of being successful, fear of failure, and the list goes on. But yeah, yeah, anger was a big one for me, I think, coming from a people pleaser background, just kind of shoving that down and I really just wanted to like lay it on people.
Jimmy Arellano:Yeah, just wanted to like lay it on people.
Amanda O'Mara:Yeah, so I definitely feel like anger heat, hot. The body gets really hot when working with some of my clients. But anyway, so yeah, tell us a little bit more about your business and who you help. Maybe some like crazy results you've seen with your clients talk to us about that I mean.
Jimmy Arellano:So my business is based out in las vegas, um, and you know who I really like to help is more like autism, because I have an autistic son oh, oh, you do. Yeah, so because I have an autistic son, that's something. He's nine. He's nine now.
Amanda O'Mara:Aw, what's his name? Yeah?
Jimmy Arellano:James.
Amanda O'Mara:James Love it yeah.
Jimmy Arellano:Yeah. So that's actually something that I want to focus more on, and even if I got to do it for free, like I don't mind, but I want to get into more spiritual esoteric, but understanding more of the spectrum mind in a way, because for me, like that and I know a lot of like for autism has a lot to do with the gut and the body oh, does it okay?
Amanda O'Mara:I don't know a whole lot about autism. I actually do have a brother who's autistic he's asperger's, um but I don't I have not worked with a client yet with autism, so that's really interesting, so tell us more about that um so.
Jimmy Arellano:so for autism, a lot of it has to do with the gut, because our gut is pretty much our second brain, or some say our first brain of the body, because anything you put in your body or through your mouth has to get digested. So in the gut there has to be the right amount of good bacteria and bad bacteria and whatever gets digested has to be sent to the mind so that way it could function properly right, so as above, so below. So as above in your mind, so below, so as below, also in your mind. So if the bottom part of your body, which is your gut, is not healthy, then the mind is not as healthy either. So with autism, a lot of autistic kids sometimes may have a with going to use the restroom, like number two. Sometimes they can be constipated or sometimes they can have diarrhea.
Jimmy Arellano:So like, for example, with my son, um, we took him with a very good doctor out here in las vegas that specializes in autism and we they did a lot of tests, like with gut bacteria, with mitochondria, a lot of blood tests, and it turns out my son, he had so three of the good bacteria. He was missing two completely. They were at zero, so he only had one. And then the bad bacteria there was like over flourished, so it was over, I think, like 110%, so that bad bacteria wasn't allowing that good bacteria to flourish I see.
Jimmy Arellano:So right there, what we have to do is like kill the back, all bacteria, because you can't just kill a certain bacteria. So it's like killing bad bacteria and all bacteria and then restarting it with probiotics, with fermented foods, so that way they could get like that environment in the gut to flourish again, to actually like start helping. But one thing that did help him a lot, that was like night and day was actually cbd really cbd helped so much.
Amanda O'Mara:Yes, and do you do reiki on him as well?
Jimmy Arellano:I do. I did reiki on him. I do reiki on him to where. It was so interesting and it's actually one of my videos where we're at a sound bath and he just starts to get on our head and he just starts to do Reiki on us and he was like going home on us and I've never done that before, like I do it now in my Reiki sessions. I use a lot of my voice in my reiki sessions, yeah, but before that, like he started doing it on me and then he started like going like that on my head, which I didn't do either before, and I was just like wow, like he just naturally just started doing it and I was just like wow, that's crazy how beautiful it is.
Amanda O'Mara:You think he was like healing you as well through that journey.
Jimmy Arellano:Yeah, yeah, yeah. He started doing it on me and my wife and it was just so crazy how he just naturally just started doing it and just started doing it his own way too.
Amanda O'Mara:How beautiful I have heard. Autistic children, or just anyone with autism, are some of the most intuitive people.
Jimmy Arellano:Intuitive and very sensitive, highly sensitive, sensitive. That's why they're so intuitive.
Amanda O'Mara:Yeah, like the sensitivity to their environment and their emotions and their body. It's um, yeah, in my opinion, is what makes someone highly intuitive.
Jimmy Arellano:It's incredible yeah, so that's who I try to um work with a lot in my practice, but other than that I'm seeing maybe about eight people a day sometimes.
Amanda O'Mara:Yeah, wow how long are your sessions? Typically 45 minutes to an hour, hour and 15 minutes okay, yeah, that's a long day yeah, I max out at like four or five people and I'm like I'm trying to slow down, but the thing is like I'm just going with it right now.
Jimmy Arellano:So as a business I'm. I'm not trying to like, like, oh, I'm gonna have to push you out which, even though I am pushing out for a month right now. So like late november. But if I could get somebody in like live, you know yeah, for whatever reason I could squeeze more people in, I will. Yeah, I'm not going to deny it, I'm not going to like.
Amanda O'Mara:I know that's how I am too. It's like if somebody reaches out to me and like I'll squeeze you in, you know even booked.
Jimmy Arellano:Um, right, yeah, yeah, because, like we just love what we do, right, it's just yeah. So, and yeah, I'm not gonna like trying to like, oh, no, unless, unless there really is like like I can't, then okay, yeah, the next availability is going to be, you know, 45 days out or whatever yeah but I I try to like do promoting promoting through Instagram as well, as far as, like business wise, for for my um business, a lot of promoting.
Jimmy Arellano:Um, I haven't been putting out as much videos as I used to one because I have been busy, but the more videos I put out, the more like I was pushed out for like three months in advance where it was just like I can't yeah Like oh, I had to miss some of my kids performances at school because I didn't know they were going to do that day and I don't like to cancel on people. I don't think I've ever canceled on anyone before Not even me getting sick or nothing like that, Like I haven't.
Amanda O'Mara:So yeah, f, not even me getting sick or nothing like that, like I haven't. So, yeah, fingers, yeah, exactly. So for me it's like no, so that's why.
Jimmy Arellano:That's why it's important for me to like try to stay as healthy, too, as I can. It's good. So a good vessel me being a good vessel, clean vessel, that way I'm always ready to just give that energy.
Amanda O'Mara:Do you feel exhausted after working with clients or do you feel exhausted after working with clients, or do you feel like it gives you more energy, or how do you manage that?
Jimmy Arellano:It depends. It depends so on people that don't release at all. That's when I feel exhausted, because, like people that don't open up, so it's like me giving so much energy and if that person doesn't release or open up, and if that person doesn't release or open up, then that energy is not recycled, versus somebody that opens up. I feel so much energy afterwards because that energy is recycling. Now it's recycling, it's not just stuck there. Now that person is not leaving with all my energy. Yeah, because I remember I did a couple one time. It was first the wife. She left me drained, super drained, and I told her. I told her and the husband like, oh, wife, she left me drained, super drained, and I told her. I told her and the husband like, oh, she let me drain. So I'm, I'm doing the husband. All of a sudden, with the husband, I'm like, I'm like I had so much energy afterwards and I was like, well, all right wow, interesting.
Amanda O'Mara:Yeah, I guess I I haven't noticed that, um, but it would make sense. Is there a tip you would give to somebody who isn't as open to receiving it that you would recommend or say on that?
Jimmy Arellano:I usually like to do breath, not full-on breath work, but I like to focus more on their breathing, a lot on their breathing, because when I can get them out of here and bringing them down here with their breathing, it does help too. But I also do a guided meditation throughout it. So my main focus is to try and open up their heart from the very beginning, because when you can open up someone's heart, then all these other things will start to be released.
Amanda O'Mara:So yeah, yeah.
Jimmy Arellano:Exactly, exactly. I feel like for me, like the heart, is like a gateway to opening up, and once I can open up that, then all these other things can either go in and out, so receiving but also releasing too, so for me, like that's important, to open up the heart.
Amanda O'Mara:I like that. That is so true. Yeah, I feel like breath work is such a powerful way for anybody listening to, it's like the gateway between the conscious and the subconscious.
Jimmy Arellano:It's the only thing we can. Yeah, we can control and subconsciously, control, exactly. So for me, breathing is very, very it's like key it's key. So if I see somebody, like if somebody's doing really shallow breathing, just really light, they're just gonna have a really light session. But if I could get them to, it's like turning on that fire inside of them, that ignition, to create more energy inside of them to be able to move, push out whatever. Yeah, it is very cool.
Amanda O'Mara:Yeah, I definitely um have to do some breath work sometimes with some of my clients and it makes a huge difference and for anyone who has that disconnection between the mind and body and it's not saying like there's something wrong with you by any means, it's just um, there's just a disconnect and so we're just slowly bringing that safety back in so you can surrender just a little bit more to trusting yourself and what you already know yeah yeah, really cool.
Amanda O'Mara:So I had a question and now I can't remember it. Now I'm trying to remember what it was, but I'd like to hear more about the results, like do you have any crazy stories you want to share?
Jimmy Arellano:crazy stories, yeah, um, I want to say crazy, but like results. Um, this lady, she, so she would. Um, she said like when she first came to see me and she'd even lift up her, her arm, like up to here it was like trembling, so she couldn't lift it up higher than that, right.
Amanda O'Mara:So she came to see me and those who who aren't watching the video. The arm is like shoulder length.
Jimmy Arellano:Yeah, yeah so, yeah, so shoulder length and it's just like very, very shaky because I think her muscle wasn't allowing her to move up more. Her range couldn't move up higher and it was just trembling. So once we started doing the work, she was releasing a lot. She was very open. She came with like intention to release. You know that was a very strong intention for her. So she was releasing a lot and then afterwards she couldn't believe it.
Jimmy Arellano:She was lifting her arm all the way above her head and, without that shaking anymore, all her friends were contacting me after that yeah, so there was just like probably a lot of bottled up emotions energy in that area probably um wow some people talking in tongues during sessions.
Jimmy Arellano:You know just part magic yeah I mean, I've seen, I've seen a lot people throwing up, um, and just some people like just feeling like they got their life back. But of course every single person is different. For me it does have a lot to do with faith, like how much faith do they have that they can heal? So I'm not going into religious or anything like that, but it's kind of like how christ he would ask anybody before he would heal them, like, do you believe I can do it? So? And then he'd say what? It was your faith that healed you. So in a way, that's kind of what it is. It's. It's a matter of having faith and believing, and believing that they can be healed and then, as a practitioner too, is like also believing believing in themselves too yeah, oh you have to.
Amanda O'Mara:Yeah, I love that, um, because I think a lot of skeptics well, with spinal energetics, I've worked with quite a few skeptics and then changed them, like change their perspective of the work and they're just blown away. And it's like with spinal energetics, you can't really explain what it is. You need to experience it yourself. And yeah, it does work on skeptics, because it's your own energy. Everybody has their own field, exactly but.
Amanda O'Mara:I feel like with reiki I don't know if it's like a little bit different, where it is like you believing in the work itself, that it can help you. If you're going in, you're like this isn't going to work, then of course it's not going to work if you're going in you're like this isn't gonna work, then of course it's not gonna work like you're gonna block that, um yeah.
Amanda O'Mara:So yeah, I love that you brought that topic to light because it's it's true a lot of people yeah 100, and I get a lot of my teachings from a lot of these stories too.
Jimmy Arellano:So the more you can embody the work, the energy, the more that then you can actually do it on someone else too so so that's why I always tell clients, like, just surrender.
Jimmy Arellano:Surrender is the biggest thing, because if they can't surrender, then they have that, that guard up that wall. That's still not allowing them to feel safe, like you said. So that's the main. Important thing, too is like trying to allow them to feel safe so that way they can release, that way they can open up. And when some of these people do open up so much and do release a lot of these things something I've had it one time where this, actually a couple times where they're like can you make it stop, can you make it stop? I'm like I'm not doing anything. It's your body that's finally allowing it to release your body's releasing it.
Jimmy Arellano:Your body's releasing it and just let it.
Amanda O'Mara:Just let it go through, allow yourself, yeah, exactly, yeah 100 you wouldn't be doing this right now if you weren't ready.
Jimmy Arellano:Exactly so. It wouldn't have happened this way if it wasn't mind, body and spirit.
Amanda O'Mara:Totally. Yeah, I always tell people that like sometimes I get people that come in they're so nervous before a session like and I'm even nervous sometimes too, and that's because you never know what's going to happen there's no expectations with the work, but the truth is that any, in my opinion, any type of healing work, your body, your yourself, your higher self, is going to meet you where you're at right now, and it will only peel back what you're truly ready for. And so of course you can handle it. Of course you can do it, and it's even better with one of us. They're holding them to that space because we all are human beings and we need that person, that extra support, because when we have somebody holding us, then we're able to let go a little bit more, versus doing it on our own.
Jimmy Arellano:A hundred percent and that's something I believe in a lot too is that you can't heal yourself Like, yeah, we could do energy work on ourselves, but you're not going to fully be in that surrender state either, because you always need somebody there, whether it's just holding space, whether it's helping to move, whether it's emotions or energy, but you can't heal yourself like you always need somebody. It doesn't matter like how good or a badass of a healer you are like, you always need somebody there too. And and for someone else too, like so many people are like, oh, I've been trying to, you know, work on this by myself, but I can't. So then they come and boom, they open up so much because they've already done so much work. They've done a lot of work already. Now they just needed a little bit of that push, a little bit of that help, a little bit of that help too.
Jimmy Arellano:Yeah, that's when you have like those really really good sessions for these people yes and you just surrender to support so you don't.
Amanda O'Mara:Yeah, knowing you don't have to do this alone, I feel like is a huge relief for so many people, especially those, I feel like, who are in their head a lot and they feel like they have to be in control of the situation, and when they can just learn to just surrender and let go and trust, um, whatever is going to come through is meant for them and it's really not as bad as I feel like most people think it is. Um, at least from what I've experienced, what my clients experience, it's um very cathartic feeling. It's. It feels really good.
Jimmy Arellano:Uh, yeah, it feels good to release it does, it does, and and the more you release, like some people, they might not have a big reaction on the first session, neither the second session, but then the third session, all of a sudden they're like you know, I had this nurse one time it was her third time coming in and she started to finally release and she was getting scared because the movements that her body was doing were similar to I think what she said was like an epileptic attack, something like that. But then she realized, like you know, my body started doing exactly what was happening through one of these, like a seizure or whatever. So she was worried. But then she realized like, oh no, it's just the body. So then after that, every time she comes in, she releases more and more. So it's just like taking layers and layers off. Sometimes the first layer might be really hard to get through, sometimes the second one too, but then once we're at the third and you're just yeah, a lot easier.
Amanda O'Mara:I think that's a good thing to talk about too, because I think somebody are look, so many people are looking for the quick fix and they do one session and they didn't get the crazy expression like they've seen in some of our videos, and but sometimes that doesn't come until the third session, like that one client of yours or, uh, it could be the 10th session. I mean my husband, he didn't start really moving on the table until a year and a half. Um, you know so it.
Amanda O'Mara:It's so different on any everybody and it depends on your body and where you're at your nervous system 100 your belief system to an extent, like and so yeah, just dropping all expectations and just be consistent with the work and know that, like, even though sometimes you may not feel something in the first session, it's still doing something yeah, 100, yeah, like, yeah.
Jimmy Arellano:And then all of a sudden, like some people, yeah, they don't feel much, whatever. But then you know, they go on with their life and a week later they realize that they weren't getting upset at this person anymore, that they would get triggered by yeah and then all of a sudden they're messaging me like, oh my gosh, I didn't realize, like you know, because it might not be external release but internally.
Amanda O'Mara:Internal yeah.
Jimmy Arellano:Heart is healing, mind is healing.
Amanda O'Mara:Everything, everything. In my opinion, like no expression is sometimes the most powerful expression Because things are shifting more internally, internally I just remember this through an ayahuasca experience. I don't know if you've ever done that, but I'm doing this weekend. Oh no way, are you really? My fourth one oh wait, we're at uh are you allowed to tell?
Jimmy Arellano:I can say that much I love it.
Amanda O'Mara:Um, yeah, but when I was doing my ayahuasca journey, one thing that they taught us was you could have a nada experience, meaning like you don't really do anything. You probably just fall asleep. You go into a deep delta brainwave state and sometimes the trauma is just too much to process externally or through the body and so it's more of a deep cellular, maybe soul, layer where things are going to shift and sort deep within, and then you don't have to remember it. That's why most people don't remember it. And but yeah, I've had that happen so many times with my husband, where doesn't move at all, didn't touch him at at all, but he's so sore the next day and for a couple days during his integration yeah, yeah, 100, because there was a release.
Jimmy Arellano:There was a release. He might have not felt it. Maybe, like you said, he maybe has that stronger disconnect between his mind and body. But like, once you start connecting more and more, the the safer they feel, the more they open up. That's when they'll start to open up more and more.
Amanda O'Mara:Yes, yes, well, I love our conversation, but all good things come to an end. If you were to leave the audience with one thing you want them to know, what would that be?
Jimmy Arellano:That would be to learn to surrender.
Jimmy Arellano:Surrender their problems, their problems, whether they went through a stressful day. If they can, at the end of the day, before they actually go into their house and they're just sitting in their vehicle, surrender five, ten minutes, focus on breathing, because surrendering is almost like turning off that magnet that everything got stuck to you that day day boom, and allowing all of that to fall off, and I think that will just help a lot of people. Even with anxiety, with anything, I think that'll help so much oh, big time with anxiety yes, and depression yes thank you so much.
Amanda O'Mara:If um anyone wants to get in contact with you or book a session, what would be the best way? How can people find you?
Jimmy Arellano:Through social media, through Instagram. That's pretty much the only place I go on and that would be Divine Healing Energy, but Divine with D-E-V-I-N-E.
Amanda O'Mara:Okay, we'll drop the link below. Yeah, do that, so people can find you.
Jimmy Arellano:Yeah, Even if they want to see my videos and see what my work is about. That way they can have an understanding.
Amanda O'Mara:Definitely go check them out guys, go give them a follow, go creep on some of this content for reals Cause yeah it definitely inspires me and I've learned a lot from just watching you. So thank you, thank you for coming on.
Jimmy Arellano:How fun. Well, thank you for inviting me.
Amanda O'Mara:I appreciate it so much. All right, everyone have a wonderful day.
Jimmy Arellano:Thank you.
