Who is Abigail Bruce? What can you tell me about yourself?
I am Abigail Bruce, broadly, a soul traversing the intricate tapestry of existence and dedicated to guiding others along their spiritual odyssey. Through the lens of my earthly experience and my own awakening, I have come to know the eternal nature of our souls and the multi-faceted dimensions that comprise our being and oversoul’s desire to experience earth. In this particular juncture of time and space (a very 3D concept), I am a woman in a state of awakening and continual learning, simultaneously assuming the roles of both a humble student of life and a mentor, a healer, a priestess, and a scholar of diverse realms of knowledge. The wisdom I’ve gleaned from my personal voyage often forms the essence of what I impart to those who seek my guidance. I had my first awakening and soul recognition of the totality of our oversoul and universal roots when I was a little girl. At different junctions of my early life, markedly during times of trauma, loss, and grief and also joy, bliss, and grace, I began to awaken. My horse, in fact, dying in my arms on the beach when I was sixteen, sparked a deeper understanding of telepathy and claircognizance and also the gifts of life and death.
My approach is rooted in compassion and empathy, stemming from the depths of my own transformative journey. I earnestly practice what I preach. Professionally, my background spans a breadth of certifications, including board-certified adult nurse practitioner, with a specialization in integrative mind-body care. I have dedicated over ten years to psychiatric mental health nursing and continue to engage in integrative mental health. Moreover, I hold credentials as a board-certified holistic advanced practice nurse, a certified hypnotherapist, a certified massage therapist, and a practitioner of various healing modalities.
However, it is essential to remember that beyond the titles and certifications, I AM merely an inquisitive human soul, perpetually evolving, expanding, and spiraling in conscious evolution. I am committed to assisting individuals in their transitions, nurturing their empowerment, and fostering an understanding of their physical and mental intricacies, as well as the awakening of their souls residing within their earthly vessels. Along this transformative path, I have honed my intuition and other spiritual senses, akin to many individuals on this sacred journey. I strive to share and impart the vast array of tools at my disposal. My journey as a healer and priestess extends far beyond my current earthly existence, spanning countless lifetimes. Since 2007, I have been formally practicing in this capacity for 16 years, yet my spiritual voyage has traversed the annals of time.
What sets your approach to the mind-body connection apart from the rest?
Firstly, I am grateful for all my colleagues who are passionate about helping others. I believe in supporting and encouraging each other to highlight our gifts and offerings and collaborate. For all the world, we need each one.
What distinguishes my approach is the recognition that every individual possesses a unique energetic imprint and a distinct spark within their soul’s journey. Therefore, I add the soul and the power of holistic care and coaching. Consequently, when I provide care, consult and collaborate with someone or a group, the uniqueness lies not only within me but in the harmonious fusion of our energies as we embark on this shared path. I believe in synchronicity and the magic of coming together. It is a weave.
When contemplating the intricacies of the mind-body connection, my approach is marked by a fusion of scientific and metaphysical foundations. It is rooted in a profound understanding of the human body, mind, and psyche, yet seamlessly integrates the holistic and spiritual dimensions. Many practitioners acknowledge the mind-body connection, but the key distinction lies in our ability to perceive the individual not merely in the present moment but also in the broader context of their personal journey, trajectory, and their psychospiritual developmental evolution.
Specializing in Spiritual Awakening, can you share how you facilitate people’s spiritual growth?
We are here to find out who we are at our core and lighten things up. I facilitate this lightning. This is a process of self-awareness, feeling the power within, and that everyone has what they need. The answers are within, the wisdom is within. We are here to be empowered and I lend a mirror of their power within, I give people the opportunity to awaken themselves but only if they choose. It is never something that I insist must happen. Each soul has their own pace of grace…In other words, we are all caterpillars and butterflies but how we view ourselves, whether we believe we have wings and can fly or not is truly up to each individual.
My clients are typically drawn to me when they find themselves curious, ready, and open or are grappling with various life challenges, such as feeling stuck, blocked, anxious, stressed, or discontent. Many are navigating issues in relationships or careers, dis-ease, transitioning from chronic illness, or needing to find balance and neutrality in their lives. In such cases, I encourage individuals to rediscover their joy and passions, to find their balance and strength, and to ignite the electric spark within their lives.
The concept of spiritual awakening may not be apparent to everyone, and as I said before, it’s not my role to force this realization. Each person embarks on their own unique journey and unfolds at their own pace. While some clients may exhibit signs of awakening, others might not be consciously aware of this process. My approach revolves around offering tailored support and guidance to foster their self-discovery.
To achieve this, I adopt a coaching approach, asking probing questions to help clients reconnect with their bodies and their informed, embodied selves during the healing process. This foundational approach combines elements of science and metaphysics, enabling a comprehensive understanding of the human body, mind, and psyche while integrating holistic and spiritual dimensions. This comprehensive perspective encompasses not only the present moment but also the broader context of each individual’s life journey and psychospiritual development.
I cater to clients undergoing a spectrum of experiences, from gradual, lifelong spiritual awakening to instantaneous, life-altering transformations. Those experiencing rapid shifts often need assistance navigating substantial changes, which may include leaving jobs or relationships. My role in these cases is to help them cope with sensory overload and navigate this newfound energy.
In contrast, individuals who are gradually awakening and exploring their curiosity are provided with a different type of support. I have personally embarked on a slower, more contemplative awakening journey, which informs my approach in guiding others.
You offer a wide spectrum of healing modalities. How do you craft the ideal approach?
In my practice, I draw upon a diverse array of services and modalities to address the unique needs and values of my clients. Rooted in holistic nursing care, my foundation is firmly grounded in identifying the core aspects of an individual’s values and ascertaining whether these values align with their aspirations and desires. It’s the alignment of these principles that cultivates a profound sense of self-awareness.
When I employ various modalities, I often commence with a focus on cognitive self-awareness. This initial step involves unraveling the narrative and stories that have shaped an individual’s life, while also delving into the traumas and limiting beliefs that may be influencing their present experiences. Some of the techniques I employ bear similarities to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-informed care. However, my practice encompasses a spectrum of diverse tools and techniques that extend beyond these fundamental approaches.
One of my favored techniques is the Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping), a powerful method that many individuals have found effective in recent years. Personally, I began learning and utilizing this technique at the age of 21, and I have continued to teach and employ it with great success.
Quantum hypnosis, hypnotherapy, guided imagery and meditations are other methods that I frequently employ, along with sound healing and energy. I offer a range of hypnosis techniques, including regression therapy. For instance, I have guided clients through quantum soul remembrance (again this is linear but truly, there is no, past, present future) to facilitate healing in various aspects of their psyche. Hypnosis, I’ve discovered, is an exceptionally potent tool in my practice. I had a profound healing with my late mother who had just died and I was raw, angry and 22. The profound healing and messages that came from it, inspired me to train and become a certified hypnotherapist. That was in 2007. An illustrative case involves a client who suffered from a severe phobia of blood, seemingly without any apparent trauma or issues. Despite employing various techniques, we were unable to address the phobia. I intuited that the source of this fear extended beyond the boundaries of their current lifetime. Delving into a past life regression (3D concept), we uncovered a traumatic experience involving his ‘past life’ connection to dying in their own blood. By addressing this deeper source of the phobia, we initiated profound healing, ultimately allowing the client to overcome their fear. To this day, they have no issues around blood.
Others are a combination of energy healing, prayer, invocation, and tying in philosophies, at the individual’s comfort. This ability to seamlessly interweave various modalities proves especially valuable for clients facing overwhelming stress and anxiety. In many cases, these individuals require guidance to regain control of their thought processes and to reestablish harmony within their minds and bodies. Breathwork, guided meditation, aromatherapy, and earthing (connecting with the Earth and its elements) are powerful tools that can assist individuals in slowing the incessant chatter of their minds, reconnecting with their physical bodies, and aligning their hearts with their true intentions. These techniques are fundamentally rooted in fostering self-awareness and well-being.
My practice also extends support to busy professionals, mothers-to-be, and busy parents who grapple with work-life balance, stress, physical ailments, or simply whether in anticipation of a daunting presentation or due to concerns about their children or aging parents. In these scenarios, we often explore our values, limiting beliefs, use visualization, neurolinguistic reprogramming, Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping), various forms of breathwork, or grounding techniques to enhance preparedness and composure. Witnessing these individuals subsequently thrive, speaking confidently in front of large crowds or delivering TED talks, leading corporations in a consciously mindful way, or finding true partnerships is undeniably rewarding.
My approach lies in crafting a tailored blend of these diverse modalities, learning, and facilitating in ceremonies, shaped by the individual needs and values of my clients. This holistic and individualized approach ensures that I provide the most effective support and guidance to those embarking on their journeys toward healing and self-discovery.
What can you tell me about Nature-Based Mindbody Playshops?
In the fast-paced world of adulthood, where the demands of life can weigh heavily on our shoulders, there is often a sense of seriousness that eclipses our innate need for play. As we age, we sometimes lose touch with the simplicity of being in the present moment, free from the constraints of our responsibilities. To rekindle that childlike wonder, the magic and awe, and rediscover our connection with the Earth, I have created Nature-Based Mindbody Playshops, rather than workshops. They facilitate reflection, connection, healing, wellness, and play.
Growing up, I had the privilege of immersing myself in the beauty of nature, whether it was playing at the ocean’s edge, stargazing, hiking the mountains and waterfalls, or exploring the enchanting Redwoods of Northern California. These experiences instilled in me a deep understanding of the profound connection between humans and the natural world. As I’ve grown older, I’ve become increasingly aware of the vital role that, and nature itself, play in grounding us and reconnecting us to the very core of our existence.
The essence of these playshops revolves around rekindling imagination and embracing a playful spirit in our explorations. While the mind-body connection remains central to our approach, we aim to encourage participants to let go, unwind, and gracefully navigate the challenges of life in a more lighthearted and enjoyable manner.
Nature-Based Mindbody Playshops are designed to be an antidote to the intensity of modern life. They provide a unique opportunity for busy adults to escape into nature for a day, granting them a respite from their daily obligations. It’s about creating a space where participants can rejuvenate their sense of well-being and incorporate the therapeutic power of nature and imagination into their lives.
I’m thrilled at the prospect of taking these playshops to different locations, including England, where I have family ties. The diversity of natural landscapes offers a multitude of possibilities, from serene waters, majestic oceans, and meandering rivers to lush forests and the art of forest bathing. We can even explore the stark beauty of the desert and the enigmatic allure of the stars. Each playshop is a unique opportunity for participants to reconnect with the Earth, rekindle their sense of self, and re-align with the cosmos.
In addition to my passion for reconnecting with nature, I also have a deep affinity for astral and multidimensional access and travel. While these concepts may not always align with mainstream beliefs, an increasing number of individuals are awakening to the understanding that our existence transcends our physical form. In my personal journey, I have discovered my ability to engage in astral travel, an experience I now share with a diverse group of individuals from around the world. At first I was hesitant to believe that I could do it, let alone that it was even possible. It is and it can be learned and integrated into a spiritual practice. It’s an absolute gift and has been one of my greatest teachers through direct experience.
For three years, we have dedicated an hour each day to exploring this fascinating realm. The beauty of astral travel is that it allows us to transcend the confines of our physical bodies, delving into higher states of consciousness. It opens doors to connecting with other beings, not just in a physical sense, but in the realm of the soul and light-body. Through astral travel, we journey not only to different places on Earth but also to alternate dimensions and worlds, fostering connections with what some might describe as spirit guides, ascended masters, the new earth grid and connecting with a galactic council supporting mother earth and humanity.
This profound shift in my perspective has transformed not only the way I relate to people and the world in our three-dimensional existence but has also deepened my understanding of the life and death cycle. I firmly believe that there is no true death, only a continuous process of integration and connection as souls. As I continue to explore these concepts, I find immense joy in sharing this knowledge with others, whether through my leadership of the QUEEN’s COUNCIL group, deep dives with women, teaching and leading workshops, leading sacred circles and ceremonies for people going through transitions, or one-on-one sessions with clients. My commitment to walking the talk means that as I explore these realms, I’m eager to impart what I learn, fostering connections in the quantum field, where linearity holds no dominion.
While these aspects of my journey may be more private than professional, they represent some of the most exciting, fascinating, and informative facets of my life. One remarkable outcome of this exploration is the tangible shift in my energy and health. Approaching my 45th year, I find myself feeling rejuvenated, as though I am growing younger. This transformation is grounded in working with the light body and activating the potential within our DNA, leading to a profound recollection of various aspects of our soul’s wisdom.
Lastly, we are all each other’s teachers and students. I remain a humble student of life, a fellow journeywoman. It’s my joy and honor to facilitate one’s awakening to their own wisdom, being their own internal compass and soul’s highest mission. This is the age of teacher-student equality that switches back and forth. What an absolute honor to walk this path with all of you in this pivotal time. I thank my family for believing in me, I thank my beloveds, my ancestors, my teachers, my clients all of you for giving me this opportunity to share. Thank you for your time, curiosity, and presence.
