Tonight's special guest is Lyn Pacificar, a lineage traditional healer descending from a long line of Filipino healers and mystics. Her father’s side of the family, came from the Eastern Visayan islands of Leyte and Samar, Philippines. On the other hand, her mother’s family hails from the Islands of Mindanao, Panay, and Bicol--all within the Western Visayan region of the Philippines. Growing up, Lyn used to observe her dad practice old methods of healing that were passed down to him energetically and through shared knowledge. People would come to their house and enter the room he designated as his healing room. And when those people left, they were either feeling better or were completely well. He was referred to as a "manghihilot," a traditional Filipino energy healer. Lyn's dad would introduce her to the different types of oils and balms he brought back with him from the homeland. Some of which had different objects in the bottles of coconut oil such as plants, moss, ground minerals, corals, and herbs. Others had camphor and menthols for pain. All of these tools he used in his healing practice, and all very much a part of Filipino cultural medicine. Having been a serious shamanic practitioner and healer over the past decade, Lyn realized that her clients needed energetic support after a session with her. So she created scrubs made with essential oils and energetic intention to help them with their healing process. Many of her clients felt the scrubs were extremely instrumental in their energetic maintenance and cleanliness, which also turned out to be great skin care products. People using her products experienced significant improvement in their skin and overall well-being, which was no surprise since physical manifestations of the body are tied into the spiritual condition of the person. Consequently, she continued to expand her products into creating intention oils such as the powerful and effective Moldavite Solstice Oil, and Tagumpay (a Tagalog word meaning “success”) Intention Oil. Lyn is driven and passionate about Herbalaria and its great potential for healing on both the physical and spiritual realms. The need for such products now in our time is more important than ever, and Herbalaria will serve to fulfill those needs. We also discussed the effects of colonization and how it has almost made Traditional Filipino healing medicine disappear. The influence and dependence on Western medicine makes it difficult to bring about true healing. Herbalaria's mission is to bring value and recognition to Filipino plant and energy medicine.
