Braselton
Healer - Spiritual Teacher - Speaker
- Writer
My name is Keith Braselton. What I
most want you to know about me is that I have dedicated my life
to helping individuals uncover, recover, and re-create real love
in their real life. Parts of the process include developing natural
intuition, learning to heal oneself and others, learning to communicate
with God/Guides, and creating a life filled with magic.
My journey in this life began in 1959,
and a myriad of experiences have led me to become a spiritual teacher.
I have studied many religions and practices, including the Tantras,
the system of yoga, with my guru Hitesh Yoshi, and meditation. On
July 26th, 1992, I discovered a way to communicate with God. Since
that day and through this communication, I have learned to follow
my heart and ask God about everything. I have learned and am learning
about love, metaphysics, healing and how to live a magical life.
The conclusion I have come to is that
regardless how an individual views a higher power, be it God, Allah,
Great Spirit, The Creator, or by some other name, the core substance
of that Being, is Love, and that the closer we are to becoming like
that love, the fuller, and purer, and more powerful our lives become.
I believe this with all my heart and have proven it with hundreds
of fellow students on this journey.
I call it ...
Engage Love.
I
believe that it is the goal, the purpose, and indeed the destiny
of each of us to learn how to think, act, and react in love, moment
by moment, every moment of our lives, in every situation ... in
essence, asking "What would LOVE do?"

1959 - 2007
My
life began in Georgia in 1959, and during the first ten years of
my life my loving parents moved to Florida, Georgia, Washington
D.C., Florida, Texas, and California. I became familiar with new
places, new people and new experiences. As an adult I lived all
around the San Francisco Bay area for 9 years and have called Fairfield,
California home for the past 30 years.
I have been married twice and am the
proud father of my son Seth(28), daughter Krishauna, (27), son Cameron
(22) and son Shane(4). First marriage 12 years. Second marriage
12 years. I am presently enjoying the fullness of being single and
very active in the HAI community. For the past 27 years the financial
portions of my life have been primarily provided by literally painting
my world. I am a registered Color Consultant, Faux Artist, and High
Quality Painting Contractor, and what I love most about the work
is the dramatic change that the right colors can evoke when properly
selected and applied. If you want to know more, check out. KeithBraseltonPainting.com.
It has been a business that has allowed me creative expression while
providing my livelihood.
My interests include reading, studying
and learning, but when I'm playing, you might find me, hiking, snow
or water skiing, rock climbing, boogie boarding, playing Frisbee,
street hockey, racquet ball, or volley ball, dancing and just having
fun. By any standard life is short, and I recommend fun!
Throughout my life there have been
powerful spiritual experiences that have served to awaken me and
bring me closer to what I call my God Self, the part of God that
I carry inside and reflect to the world.
At the age of nine I felt a calling
and took Jesus into my heart. It was a deep movement in which my
heart and soul were filled with radiant love. It felt as if the
heavens poured The Love of All That Is into my heart and allowed
me, briefly, to feel it. I was fundamentally changed and I feel
it endowed me with the gift of compassion. While hiking when I was
seventeen, I was caught in a freak snow storm without adequate clothing
and actually froze to death. I had the complete death experience
and again felt Unlimited Love pour down upon me. I awoke just as
I was going into the light, feeling more love than ever before.
Upon awakening I found my body completely warmed while in the middle
of the blizzard, and I recovered. My first thought was "I guess
it wasn't time for me to die, there must be something else for me
to do on this earth". I knew I would never again fear death,
because the experience was actually so beautiful.
At the age of twenty I began my formal
spiritual education studying the Tantras, the system of yoga, with
my guru Hitesh Yoshi. Dedication to the Tantric principles and practices
led me to discover both a gift and a passion for making complicated
issues easy to understand. At twenty-two I determined to dedicate
my life to becoming a spiritual teacher. Through this determination
I learned quickly and thoroughly. I mastered the art of keeping
my mind silent whenever I wanted by time I was twenty-six. Hitesh
then prepared me for a practice called ‘Generating. Generating
was a method of channeling additional positive energy into my life.
I immediately recognized this as an extraordinary tool and instinctively
new that this method of channeling energy was going to be an invaluable
tool to helping people grow in their spiritual path. I diligently
worked to master generating. I found it most difficult to generate
when I was engaging into conversation with people. By time I was
28 (1988) I would wake up generating, generate all day and go to
sleep generating.
Curiously, at the age of 28 I also
started feeling a lot of pain in my life and Hitesh assured me that
I was burning through a lot of Karma. It was my belief that when
I moved through all of my Karma that I would become completely enlightened
and so this information just gave me fuel to generate stronger and
stronger every day, regardless of the pain.
In 1988 I began teaching my first
group of students. It was a growing and learning process for all
of us, and I fully subscribe to the theory that we are all students,
in everything we do in our lifetime. My second group in 1989 moved
along progressing faster than the first class and after six month
of classes they were ready to learn Generating. Two days before
I was to teach that class in November of 1989, I experienced one
of my greatest life lessons. While spraying a volatile primer at
a job site, I forgot to turn off the heater and the pilot light
ignited the primer. The house literally exploded like a bomb with
me in the center and I received second and third degree burns on
33% of my upper body.
The next sixteen days can only be
described as the experience of hell. Two skin graph operations and
no sleep for twelve of those sixteen days in intensive care. To
my stead, I had lived a healthy life, a vegetarian who took no drugs,
caffeine or alcohol. The health of my body before I was burned enabled
me to leave the hospital after the sixteenth day. Normally it would
have taken about thirty days. It took more than a year for my body
to heal enough for me to return to my work as a painter and earn
money again. The emotional scars ran much deeper, and I vowed not
to return to teaching until I understood all that had happened to
me. I was very spiritual, a very active father of three children
and was one of the most loving people I knew ... I could not understand
how something so horrible could happen to someone like me.
As soon as I was healed enough I began
generating again and expanding my education process, and for the
next ten years I searched and researched life. I learned how to
talk to my guides and I read hundreds of books. As I was doing all
of this and raising my family I continued to generate as much as
possible, thinking that I was burning through Karma and my life
continued to be filled with pain daily. By time I was 38 I could
no longer generate. I could not meditate anymore and I had lost
most of my short term memory.
One of the biggest life changing experiences
that I have ever had came from the Anthony Robbins course called
Thirty Days to Abundance where he teaches about the power of a loving
smile. The moment that I learned the loving smile comes from an
open heart, my whole spiritual life passed before me. I realized
at that moment that the reason the fire experience happened to me
is because I had been generating with my heart closed everyday for
a couple of years. I wasn’t burning Karma. I had been creating
it! I had been generating with my heart closed. I was creating my
own pain through channeling energy reversed from love. It felt like
I had almost generated myself to death. I was in so much pain and
my memory was so hard to deal with.
I came to see the fire experience
as a kind of Karmic return or Karmic balance. After discovering
the power of a loving smile, it took me a couple of years longer
to smile my way back to real health. But I learned the lesson and
now include generating with my heart open in my daily practice.
I have included the principle in my teaching ever since. Now I call
it Shining because that is what you do. You Shine love like a star.
A couple of years after discovering
about the loving smile and using it as much as I possibly could,
I had an amazing healing experience with a man named Michael Zumpano.
You will find our story in the Loving Smile section on this site.
It was so miraculous that it moved me to start teaching again. I
wrote a couple of books and I taught people all around the bay area.
I made trips to Ottawa, Canada every three months for a year.
I spent five years teaching all the
loving information on this website to hundreds of people. I taught
and watched people’s lives magically transform in the first
few weeks, but within three to four months most of them would go
right back to the ways they use to live. They couldn’t hold
the love. I myself could not manifest love for long periods of time.
The more I tried I found my life compounded in pain. The pain came
in many different ways - depression, heartache, never having enough
money no matter how well I ran my businesses, challenging hurtful
relationships, not being able to trust God or the universe, and
daily pain in my body that was literally driving me crazy. I had
been studying about love and spirituality and metaphysics for twenty-five
years and try as I would I could not overcome the pain.
And then in November of 2006 I found
them. I found two metaphysical principles, one of which creates
unloving conditions within us that absolutely controls our lives.
They are called unloving core beliefs. The other one shows us how
we have left so much unloving and troubled emotional energy behind
us in our past, and that we can heal these past experiences and
then reclaim that energy and put it into manifesting what we want
in our lives. I am amazed at what healing my core beliefs and reclaiming
my energy has done for me.
The integration of these two metaphysical
principles has absolutely transformed my life. I can now hold states
of love for days. I am experiencing states of ecstasy, bliss, peace
and abundance in many different ways in my life, so much so that
my life is becoming magical. I am using this triad to help people
heal depression, cancer, cyst, fatigue, arthritis, fiber myalgea,
shingles, congenative heart failure, addiction, loneliness and the
list goes on.
Engage Love is the application of
the principles of love plus these two metaphysical truths.
If the core essence of this Being
we reverence as God is Love, then in our quest to be God-like, we
seek to BE Love in all our daily lives and activities.
Each of us is a unique, enchanting,
and important part of Love. As such, we are blessed with both a
right and a responsibility to truly BE that love, in as many ways,
as much of each hour, as we are able. And each time we experience
that we really ARE Love, we become stronger, and wiser, and happier,
and more filled with the experience of love.
Was there ever a time in your life
where you were really IN LOVE !! The whole world danced and sang
for you ... every day was sunny and bright ... nothing troubled
you ... and even the biggest challenges were minuscule. If you have
ever had this experience, the feeling was not only in your mind,
but reflected in your body, in the way you walked and stood, it
made you whistle at the checkout stand, and was seen by others,
who in turn were affected. In a word, it was WONDERFUL !!
(If this experience has not happened
to you then try to imagine it happening to you because it has happened
to many people around the world throughout time.)
Suppose we could figure out a way
to put that feeling in your life 24/7/365???
Suppose that it was your choice to
stay there?
It can happen... if you make the dedication
to choose to engage Love.
