Secrets of Aborigine Healing & Awakening with Robbie Holz

Introduction

Host: Alan Steinfeld
Guest: Robbie Holz, author of The Secrets of Aboriginal Healing and Aboriginal Secrets of Awakening

Alan Steinfeld introduces Robbie Holz, author of two books on Aboriginal healing practices and spiritual awakening, after spending time with the Australian Aboriginal community.

Gary Holz’s Journey to Healing

Robbie begins by sharing the story of her husband, Gary Holz, a physicist with multiple sclerosis (MS). For over twenty years, Gary struggled with the disease, ultimately becoming quadriplegic. After receiving a terminal diagnosis from his doctors, Gary met an Australian naturopath who informed him about the Aboriginal people’s healing abilities. Through this connection, Gary arranged to meet an Aboriginal healer, Ry, in Brisbane, who had been anticipating his arrival.

Gary traveled to a remote Aboriginal village where healers worked with him, using spiritual alignment practices focused on healing the body, mind, and spirit. Over ten days, Gary regained feeling in his body and could walk. Although the damage caused by MS remained, he was no longer facing a progressive illness. This healing transformation encouraged Gary to understand and confront the emotional roots of his illness, including unresolved pain from his childhood.

Aboriginal Healing Techniques

Robbie explains that Aboriginal healing emphasizes alignment of body, mind, and spirit, recognizing that illness often has emotional roots. Emotions like grief or fear can affect specific areas of the body and potentially develop into physical illnesses. Aboriginal healers teach patients to confront and release these emotions as part of the healing process, enabling the body to heal naturally.

Robbie Holz’s Personal Healing Journey

Robbie shares her own experience with illness. After contracting hepatitis C through a blood transfusion, she faced severe health challenges, including brain damage from experimental treatments. Robbie, inspired to survive for her young son, ultimately turned to holistic approaches, including techniques from Aboriginal healing, which helped her fully recover from hepatitis C and fibromyalgia.

Principles of Aboriginal Healing

Robbie outlines the core principles of Aboriginal healing:

1. Willingness to Heal: Patients must be willing to change and release emotional blockages.
2. Awareness of Illness’s Purpose: Recognizing why an illness is present can help address its underlying cause.
3. Connection to a Higher Source: Aboriginal healers often speak of aligning with the “Big Guy,” a term for the Divine, to aid in healing.

These principles emphasize that healing requires a balance of mental, emotional, and spiritual alignment, facilitated by understanding and releasing negative emotions.

Aboriginal Spiritual Practices

Robbie describes the Aboriginal concept of “Dreamtime,” which she defines as a state of connection to higher consciousness, a realm the Aboriginal people consider more real than the physical world. Aboriginal children are taught to enter Dreamtime frequently, which strengthens their spiritual awareness and connection to the natural world. This practice is seen as vital to maintaining a harmonious existence.

The Aboriginal Worldview and Connection to Nature

The Aboriginal perspective views nature as an interconnected, living entity, with communication occurring telepathically among plants, animals, and humans. According to Robbie, Aboriginal people believe that speaking out loud diminishes this connection. She recounts a ceremony she attended with Aboriginal women, where they collectively raised their vibration to induce rainstorms—a powerful display of harmony with nature.

Social and Cultural Insights

Aboriginal culture is marked by a lack of individualistic possessiveness, competition, or ego-driven actions. Instead, Aboriginal communities emphasize cooperation, respect, and balance in relationships and responsibilities. Robbie shares how Aboriginal practices of humility and service promote societal balance, contrasting with Western values centered on personal achievement.

Healing as a Path to Awakening

Robbie explains that healing is foundational to the Aboriginal worldview but is ultimately part of a broader goal—awakening. Aboriginal culture is grounded in high states of consciousness, where individuals live in alignment with spiritual truth and natural law. In this awakened state, they achieve inner peace and harmony, which serve as the basis for a fulfilling life.

Lessons for Modern Society

Robbie emphasizes that Aboriginal practices encourage people to return to a more balanced way of life, reconnecting with the Earth and nurturing a peaceful, love-centered existence. She highlights the importance of meditation, self-awareness, and emotional balance as essential steps toward personal and collective transformation.

In closing, Robbie expresses her gratitude for Aboriginal wisdom, suggesting that modern society can benefit greatly from these ancient insights, not only to heal but to evolve spiritually.
