Leela Gram - Spiritual Healer
I did not accept what was the way of life as lived by my family and those around me. Even though I didn’t know what I wanted, I knew what I didn’t want. Negativity, abuse, neglect, pain and suffering - - it was everywhere - - with people in my work environment, in social circles and at church. I grew up Catholic and was taught that we were full of sin and God would punished us if we did not redeem ourselves, or we would hang in purgatory after we died until we did. My heart fought this and cried, “my God is a loving God!” and I did not believe what I was taught. When I was old enough I put this religion to the side and sought out other faiths. I went to many different churches trying to find one that matched my inner world. From what I saw and felt (or lack thereof) it did not exist. This seeking never left me alone, it pushed from the inside, urging me on. In my late twenties I wanted to answer the inner call to help others and sought out an avenue through which I could effectively do this. I was drawn to massage as I have always loved the healing touch that came through and felt I could help change the world one body ache at a time. It wasn’t long before I was frustrated that the people I treated were not maintaining the shifts made for very long after their treatment even though they left feeling wonderful. When they returned a week or two later they were right back to where they were before. This frustration kept me seeking to find out why they could not hold the changes that happened during our sessions. I was beginning to wonder if doing Native American bone massage would be deep enough work to elicit the changes that could then be held by the client. I was working in a naturopathic clinic outside of Prescott, Arizona, when one day Adriene called to make an appointment for a massage. I answered the phone and when I heard her voice, I said to myself with huge relief, “there you are!” My husband, Brad, and I had been told by a psychic that we were moving to Arizona from California to meet others who weren’t there yet and to get visible so they can find us. It worked! This was in the fall of 1991. Here, at last, was someone who was speaking all the words back to me that had always just been inside. Hallelujah! for me and uh-oh! for what was my life at that time. The rug of comfortable knowing was pulled out from underneath and it has been a wild ride ever since. It is the love of this woman and her demonstration by living her truth that keeps me keeping on through thick and thin. If she can do it, so can I! To this day I am still inspired by her to strive to walk my highest ground, wanting to help make a difference for the benefit of all. Through Adriene’s life’s work and mission there is an opening to do my own soul’s mission, living the truth of being a part of something bigger than me. I have my piece to add to the cosmic puzzle of God’s Plan and because of Adriene’s unwavering commitment to keep bringing new things to the forefront, new ideas and information I have an opportunity. There is never a lack of having something to do! Finally my soul smiles with recognition: I am a part of something that has deep and fulfilling meaning to my life. I have many memories of our earlier days when she was first beginning to bring through her book, Divine Intervention, the Christa Energy for protection and healing, and also just coming to terms with the vast information that would fill in the missing pieces of the story of how this world was just not God’s world anymore and why. It was astounding to me that there she was, alone, three little children at her feet, constantly hanging on to her and demanding her attention, all the while trying to do her mission, and where was the help for this woman?! It took me only a split second to realize what she needed and that I could be of service. I literally dropped everything in my life and began helping her with her children and household duties, freeing her up to have some time and energy to focus on Spirit, who was ever so wanting her attention, because there was much to say and do! I was also drawn to the healing work as I saw the results and recognized how it was so needed because of its lasting effects. Ah, there it was, the modality I had been seeking. In exchange for helping her, she taught me the healing method and reminded me that we had done similar work in other lifetimes. I felt like I was home again. For the first time in this life I had the feeling of not being alone in my quest. When I first read over Adriene’s brochure describing her healing technique, I saw that she offered help for those who had been abducted by aliens. My husband had shared with me experiences he had all the way from being a small child to his college days and was still suffering terribly from these traumatic experiences. Having grown up in Los Angeles, Brad had much exposure to healers, psychics, support groups and such, with no avail for his long-term situation. When I showed him the brochure he immediately called for a session. With the help Adriene gave him, undoing what had been done, and by expanding his own awareness to take care of himself, to this day he has never had another experience. Wow. That said something powerful was at hand and could not be ignored. Lasting proof in the pudding had been a rare occurrence on the menu of life’s dishes. Finally, I was in the presence of someone who was connected to the realms I was seeking. What caught my attention at that time, and still continues today, is that Adriene has never been one to hang on to what she brings through. She is constantly working on herself; working through the blocks and interferences, she strives continually for more truth, more clarity, stretching and reaching for more and more. First, she tries things out for herself, and when she sees it is valid and helpful, she gives it out to those around her so it could be shared with others. She has always said you do not get more unless you give out what you already have. It is with heart-felt warmth and joy that I am grateful to be a part of Adriene’s life and this amazing journey we’re on.

I was not aware consciously that I was a seeker. I knew that in my life I was
drawn to the deeper, hidden side of things and events, always pondering to
myself, “what was that really about?” And then there were those things that I
just “knew.” I knew I was a part of something bigger than me although I had no
clue what that really meant. As a young child I knew I would be in this physical
body for at least 150 years. While nobody around me seemed to know how to
respond to this, there was a fire inside that began the search for truths that
would support these convictions. They weren’t just a thought or even a belief.
They resided at the core of my being and were not going to budge even though all
around me I was shown that I was alone in my search.
