Veronica Bach, I.R.E., RYT
In late 2010 a friend and I were walking barefoot on the beach in Santa Monica, California when he told me about a vibrating bed he had gone on in a doctor’s office to help relieve his insomnia and he thought I would be interested in it. I immediately asked him to set up an appointment for me at Dr. Michael Galitzer’s office.
It looked like a single waterbed, and when I lay down on it I was handed dark glasses, headphones, and a small stuffed dolphin to lay on my heart and stomach. I was asked if I was comfortable and when I replied “yes”, music began. Following is my experience as best as I can explain it.
Within a few notes of music beginning, feeling as if they were coming from the center of my body, I knew I was a being of sound and light. I was also aware that my earth-body was known by the name Veronica (who was going through some drama in her life) and instantly put that in perspective while I was absolutely amazed to discover who I truly was! The first song had bongos coming in around the edges of the music, which I found extremely funny while in this lightness of being state and started laughing hysterically. Someone came in to check on me. I was fine. The second song began and I was crying at the sheer beauty of the notes. I lost track of beginnings and endings after that but at one point became aware that both sets of my deceased grandparents were hovering above me on each side of the bed. Though I did not hear any words, I knew that they were letting me know how happy they were, and that they were validating my life’s choices and were very happy with me. It seemed to open my heart even further. I believe a fourth song started, but that was challenging to keep track of because I was marveling that I was next to an unspeakably beautiful star system in an endless galaxy, able to breath in space, and well supported as though I were floating in water. I knew I had come from that star system.
Now I will give you that I had been studying Tibetan Buddhism for about 1.5 years, becoming aware of my energy body via the chakras, learning meditation, and learning a yoga I had fallen in love with: Tibetan Heart Yoga. I had even begun bodhisattva classes at the Mahasukha Center in Los Angeles, California, knowing that I would never take the vows but had planned on taking the less intense “wish to take the vows” at the end of a year and a half of classes. I was fascinated by the teachings, and even felt as if I was re-membering very ancient wisdom that I had known before. I also sometimes discovered after savasana that it seemed a part of me was hovering about a foot above my body until I began wiggling my fingers and toes. I loved the guided meditation classes I was being taught, imagining shrinking my heart teacher down small enough to sit about an inch in front of my third eye and imagining a place where we were sitting knee to knee and what we were able to see though I never left the classroom. That was all very new to me. But I had never experienced anything like this bed before, and was amazed at how quickly I was able to truly BE in my spirit without my personality, conditioning, beliefs, and stories in the way.
The music ended, my friend came to retrieve me, and the first thing out of my mouth was “I need to know who made this bed.” I was handed Don’s card. I had a feeling that this was the most important work on our planet, and knew that I wanted to help others experience it for the rest of my life.
Expanded States opened in 2013, but the training to offer this work began years before. In fact, everything I have ever learned has come into play sharing this amazing experience with clients.
My service is to constantly grow myself and share with others in living the gifts of our lives to the highest good by expanding states of awareness and consciousness through (1) transformational technologies known as The Portacle and VibraSound, and (2) ancient wisdom teachings of Tibetan Heart Yoga, Ayurveda, and Yoga Nidra.
