Prepare to be captivated by Dr. Fazzino's unique blend of intuition, energy healing expertise, and unwavering trust in the body's innate ability to heal itself. I love your bio, by the way.

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: Well, thank you so very much. I appreciate that.

Victoria Volk: We spoke just a couple minutes before we started to hit record, and so I really am excited to talk about weaving a lot of this energy work that you and I both do but into the conversation of grief. But before we get there, I think it's important for people to understand who Dr. Fazzino was as a child, because you had a lot of grief in your childhood, you referenced being able to heal a lot of grief in your childhood, and and how that shaped you to get to where you are today because it's a journey. Right?

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: Oh, it's always a journey and it continues to be a journey no matter how old you are because it's just like, you know what, just when you think you're out of the clear, it's like something else kinda happens. So, you know, that's but that's what we're all here for is to learn and to grow. And we all sign up to come to planet Earth to get our PhDs and being human. Okay? And we're all working on our dissertation, you know? And being human is about experiencing things in our life and most importantly, experiencing emotions. And for the longest time, emotions have gotten a really bad rap. I know I grew up in a childhood household where we weren't allowed to feel because that was a coping mechanism. Because if God forbid, if you, you know, unleashed your emotions, especially the ones that were labeled as not so good, you would open the lid of Pandora's box and it would never shut. And we know that today that that's not true. However, you know, when, you know, I'm a product of the nineteen sixties, so I've been around for a little while. And life back in during that time was way different. Everything was like a nice little sterile containers on the shelves. It's the illusion of the white picket fence and everything's beautiful, but behind the doors was, like, shit show. Do you know what I'm saying? It was just, like, everybody was so concerned about keeping up with the neighbors. And what will the neighbors think? The neighbors really didn't care. You know what I'm saying? It was just like, it was all presentation.
But, you know, for my childhood in particular, My mom was the daughter of an alcoholic, which she never really admitted to until she was sixty. So she had the MO of, you know, if anything was painful or anything, her Emma was to ignore it, it'll go away. Now, I'm an empath, intuitive, and highly sensitive person. I was born that way. I was wired differently than a lot of other people. And so my parents didn't know what to do with me when my mom would say to me, ignore it. It'll go away if something was painful. I would try ignoring it and it wouldn't go away. It got bigger. And I used to say it's not going away. It's getting bigger. So for me, in order to survive my child, but I needed to channel my emotion into some creative event you know, creative venture, you know, be it art or music and I really grabbed gravitated to music and really excelled in it. In fact, I was on a pathway to become a concert clarinetist when I was in high school. And in the eleventh hour, I changed my mind. And I changed my mind because Also, what was going on during that time in my childhood? My dad developed a chronic health condition that stemmed from having a back surgery back in nineteen sixty six when he was hospitalized and he picked up a hospital acquired infection at that time after, you know, during his surgery after his surgery. And pretty much, it pulled the rug out from underneath him because he was sick for over two months in the hospital. And I think I was in second grade at the time, and my mom's trying to keep it all together with four young kids at home. I'm the oldest one. And, you know, we didn't know if daddy was gonna make it home or not or all this other stuff, and he did survive. Yet when he came home, he looked like a shell of a man that I'd recalled. So that was the beginnings of a ten year journey with my father, with that particular health condition, because he would be fine for a while whenever his immune system got compromised, that whole sequela of that two months being in the hospital and having all this stuff would reoccur. It happened between nineteen seventy and nineteen seventy five four different times. So my childhood was like an emotional roller coaster, Daddy would, you know, we were always waiting for the other shoe to drop when daddy's gonna get sick again. He have to go to the hospital and be laid up for, like, two months and be on his deathbed and all these other nasty things that me channeling and I we couldn't feel too. Okay? So I channeled my emotion into my music and I really excelled at it. So what was the pivotal point in all of this is that by The fourth episode of this, we flash forward to nineteen seventy five. So this has been about a ten year span that this has been going on. The CAT scanner came on to the Horizon in Western Medicine as one of the newer tech acknowledgey pieces to diagnose things. So, my dad's surgeon put him underneath the CAT scan and lo and behold, they found that where his infections had been stemming from was where he had his previous back surgery. So in nineteen seventy five, their solution was to they offered, like, a spinal fusion, which in nineteen seventy five, that was in its neo fight stages of development. And it came with high risk that you would either be paralyzed, you might die, you might get better, you may not get better. And my mom was at her wall with all of this because, you know, my mom's coping mechanisms were a little different than the average. And so she was looking for alternative possibilities. And you have to remember, this is nineteen seventy five. We didn't have GoogleMD. We didn't have any time we had dial phones. We had pay phones. We had, you know, we didn't have what we have today. Okay? Because that was, like, fifty years ago. And we had the newspapers and we had the rags like a national enquirer. So she ended up finding an article in the national enquirer of all places of a man who was a Presbyterian minister from Carol, Michigan, who had the gift of laying on a hands. And he was actually being featured there's an article being written, featuring him and his capabilities because he assisted in his brother from healing from leukemia.
He didn't heal him. He assisted in the healing of that. And Reverend Holmes had been doing this work for well over twenty five years, and this was in nineteen seventy five. And so he had been doing it since the nineteen fifties. And you have to remember this was considered Wacko Wacko back in nineteen seventy five.
Okay? So my mom was all over this like butter on bread, my dad not so much because he was the biggest skeptic. And it just so happened that My dad was hospitalized at that time when that conversation was occurring. And he had said to my mother, I'll only do it if the surgeon agrees to it. So my mom marches out to the nurses' station, and there are Limón behold, there's a surgeon sitting at the desk writing his notes and she makes an announcement to the surgeon saying, you know, doctor I'm thinking about having a spiritual healer come in to assist my husband with his condition. Would that be okay? Surgeons writing looks up at her It says sure that's fine and then continues to write. So my mom took that piece of information, went back to my dad's room, shared that with him, and my dad agreed, not ten minutes went by, She returns back to the same nurses' station, the same surgeon sitting there, and makes the announcement to the surgeon saying that my husband agreed to have the spiritual healer come in. The surgeon stopped what he was doing, looked up at her and said, What are you talking about? I never agreed to that. So my mom didn't share that piece of information with my father and a month later. Reverend homes came to our house in Connecticut. I grew up on the East Coast. I'm now in Southern California. And what I remember about him, and I was like a junior in high school, he was extremely humble man, very soft spoken and just had really he was just a beautiful energy, and that essence was just so pure and and radiant. And I don't know how he knew this, but my dad had one leg that was shorter than the other. And he my dad was barefoot. He didn't have any of his slippers or shoes that had the lift or anything, but he knew my dad had that for some odd reason. Nobody told him that either. But when my dad sat down, he said for my father to put both his feet up and sure enough, he did, and you could tell that there was a one inch gap between the longer and shorter.
And he said, put your legs down. And then he started saying some prayers over my father, and he touched his belly, his solar plexus, and his crown shocker off the top of his head. And quoted some scripture and kind of went into a trance three or four minutes passed by and he said to my father, okay, put both your feet up and they were both the same length. In that moment, my life changed forever. Because I knew it was my mission in this lifetime to bridge the physical with the spiritual and the visible with the invisible. And that's how I got on my pathway to become in health and being a nurse and a nurse practitioner. My father, the skeptic, started wailing like a baby like I never ever witnessed before because remember he needed to have something visual to know that something was actually happening. Okay? And so more prayers were set over my father for about the next half hour, and then he was instructed to go rest. My father slept for over twenty four hours because as we know energy healers, when we do massive energy work in a field, it's like our body is a computer. It's gotten an upgraded program. We need to reboot this computer, so we do that by sleeping sometimes, and it allows our body to recalibrate things at a different level. My dad returned to the same hospital, same CAT scanner. A month later, there was no evidence of any infection or any problem. My dad never had to have that surgery. My dad never had to revisit that particular problem in his lifetime. And he passed away about almost twelve years ago at the age of eighty. So that's been my journey and you have to remember that back in the seventies, people would say you want to do what? So, I mean, you have to kinda keep that hush hush because I knew what my mission was, yet how I was going to get to the endpoint of where I'm at now has been an incredible journey because I've got to witness so much in the last, quote, fifty years of my life in regards to health and wellness and where we're heading and the trajectory of that as well. The good news is is that in nineteen in the 1990s when the National Institutes of Health started to look at complementary and alternative and Integrated Medicine. That was like the Gateway Opening, where it was a little more embraced. And I truly believe that energy medicine, vibrational frequency and healing in that nature is where we're heading in the future. Because we're all energy. Everything is energy. Every everything that you and I are both looking at in our offices are energy. It's just a very dense form of that. Now, what's also energy are our thoughts, our beliefs, how we handle our emotions. If we handle them at all, we have pockets of stuck energy everywhere. I mean, it's just what it is. But also, it's our connectedness to our higher source our inner wisdom, that intuitive ability we all have that got spark. It's all the same. It's the same thing, but also the ancestral stuff that comes into play. It's like we have all come right now at this time and place in humanity's evolution to be this big peak where everything is at a precipice that could change at any moment, and the beauty is is that everything is happening in this moment. There's no past present or future. It's right here right now. So what you do in this particular moment has a capability to heal the past, but also create the future that quickly. And that's where we're at right now. So it's pretty exciting to be witnessing this and living through this. It's like, my time is finally here.

Victoria Volk: Curious how that experience ended up changing your father's life in maybe a spiritual sense, maybe what he chose to do physically. Like, maybe he decided to take a chance and live out a dream he had, you know, or something, but then he got sick and so he couldn't or and and also the impact it had on your mother's life too.

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: Oh my god. You have no idea. You know, it's like, I think the best way I could describe it is like, this whole thing was a tapestry, and there were so many different threads hanging on to different people and their experiences that threading into this. You know, I I personally think, you know, whatever this was, this was part of my own initiation. Into where I needed to go. And, you know, there's no mistake. You choose your experiences. You choose your parents. You choose that way before you're born. You know? It's all, you know, it's called pre life planning that you know, there that's for a whole another conversation, but this does occur. Where you sit sit around with the essences of the souls that and you pick out your parents that are gonna best serve you for where you are. Now my mom's mother was one of my first spiritual teachers. And even though she passed away when I was a teenager, she's still very much part of my life. And it it was almost as if she had to be born in order for me to be able to it's hard to put that into words, but I got the oldest of it. Now I know why she was here on put on Earth. It was because for me, you know, it's just a weirded thing ever, but it's just like I got that huge epiphany recently. Well, I think what people need to understand is that even though people are no longer physically with us, they're still very much more with us than you ever know. It's just they're in another dimension at a higher frequency where they don't have a physical body. They're here right now and you have access to that all the time. We as human beings forget to ask. And, you know, we think we're the lone ranger or we have the illusion that we're all by ourselves or never by ourselves. Never, never ever. You know, there's help available. It's just in another dimension. And as we talk about Ascension a little bit, humanity is evolving and ascending as well too. You know, we are transitioning from third dimensional reality to going to fifth dimensional reality. And for, you know, the listeners that don't really know what that's all about, it's like third dimensional reality is a very dense frequency. It's what we're kind of witnessing right now that it's the old paradigm of power, greed, ego. It's about trying to, you know, force and control. There's a lot of that going on. Old I mean, this is an old paradigm that's been here on Earth for for a while. It's like duality two comes into play like, you know, we have the black and white thinking, good and bad. You know, dark and light. And where we're kind of shifting to as people are starting to wake up and realize that for so long they've been looking on the outside of themselves for what is going to make them happy, which in essence, we know that's not true because it all starts with ourselves first. And when people start waking up, they have this realization that life is great, but I'm just not happy. Or I'm not feeling fulfilled. Or yeah, they chase the external stuff and it's a temporary fix, but they're chasing the next external thing for the next temporary fix. It's not a lasting happiness peace inner serenity and joy. It's about chasing things and, technically, we've given our power away either consciously or unconsciously to that to allow that to bring us our happiness instead of choosing to come within and allowing ourselves to create that relationship with ourselves. Imagine that having a relationship with yourself. Learning to become your own best friend because news flash The longest relationship you're gonna ever have in your life is the one you have with yourself. But yet, people treat each other treat themselves like crap, case in play. What do you say to yourself in the quiet of your mind? It probably isn't pretty sometimes. And we're all guilty of this, but this is what happens, is that we're beating ourselves up. But, you know, when we start having a love affair with ourselves and a relationship with ourselves, it's like this is where you're able to get those subtle hints. Okay? Where, you know, we've all had those moments where our intuition is kind of whispering in our ear saying, Dolores, Don't do that. Dolores ignores it. Dolores is doing the same thing. This time, it's like the the voice is a little louder. Dolores don't do that. Dolores ignore that. Then all of a sudden, the refrigerator drops on her. So what I'm saying is that the signs are there, you have to be still enough to be able to hear the wisdom. And when we are in a noisy world out there, It's the external. It's the doing mobile out there. There's all this chaos and drama because energetically, the gig is almost up on the third dimensional reality. So you're seeing a lot of this stuff coming into play right now.
You're seeing more chaos because it's like the third dimension is trying to hang on to its power because they know that it's gotten amped up because they know that it is, you know, gonna be going away probably. Okay? Or it's going to be, you know, they're they're they're they have a lot of fear. There's a lot of fear based thinking with three-dimensional reality, lack fear, whatever. Oh, well, god forbid.
I'm not gonna have this. And when we go to fifth dimensional reality and you come to peace within yourself, you have that certainty within yourself that no matter what is going on around you, you're fine. And when you come to that point, you know, people go through a spiritual awakening sometimes, and they realize that they are in control. Of everything, including their life. It's not outside there.
That's when you give your power away to something outside of yourself. It's really about coming back to self. So going on to fifth dimensional reality, so what is fifth dimensional reality? Fifth dimensional reality is a whole different flavor. It is the essence of love. It is the essence of community group. It's about prosperity abundance for all, not just a select group of people, but it's also in essence and a beingness that no matter what is going on, you're going to be fine. Now, case in point, here in the United States, we've had some interesting things happen in the last several months. Many of us are, like, scratching our head, like, when are when is when is humanity gonna wake up? Well, many of us have done a lot of work and I feel like the best way to handle some of these things is look at where you're getting triggered first of all. Okay? Because the trigger is the power piece of how you could go within and to create more peace within yourself. Number two, have some self compassion for yourself, because we need whopping doses of that right now, because we judge and criticize everything, including ourselves, and we've got to stop that. Because when we judge and criticize, guess what? We add that to the collective consciousness and we are actually adding fuel to that fire.
Okay? As small as it is, beating yourself up and not being kind to yourself. Okay? It it's that it's that simple. So when you start having more self compassion for yourself and loving yourself and just accepting yourself for just who you are, you're going to become more in alignment with who you are at a sold level and you're higher oversold. And you're gonna be in alignment with that. And when you're in alignment with that, it's like when it's the definition of when all the holes in the Swiss cheese line up. It's like a bullet point to creation, manifestation, and just having a better life. Now, my remedy for everything that's kinda happened since November is that, okay, you know what? I am not going to allow that situation to create my reality. I'm not gonna give my that is not gonna rule my reality. My reality is a way different than that, and that's okay. So what I choose to do is to be an observer and a witness. What I mean by that, I'm gonna sit in my lounge chair. I already pop the popcorn. And I'm gonna enjoy the show because it's gonna be very interesting. It's being in the world but being not of this world. So we're watching the whole demise of what's going to be happening as we shift from third-dimensional to fifth dimensional. I know I shared a lot of stuff in a short period of time.

Victoria Volk: No. I've been I've been taking notes as I as I've been listening. I love your mug, by the way, stay wild.

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: I know. This is like yeah. I love my mugs.

Victoria Volk: It's wild out there. Right? Stay wild.

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: My god. It's wild.

Victoria Volk: So how do you do that? Like, through what tools? What what have you picked up along the way? What what was the most helpful to you? And you were first starting?
And and what's your practice now?

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: Well, you know, I'm a firm believer in mindful activity because I feel that mindful activity is the gateway to getting into being in the present moment. Okay? And it's all about being in the present moment. You know, mindful activity is anything that allows you to lose all sense of time and place. And we've all had those moments where you get caught up in a project and hours go by and it seems like it's ten minutes. That is a definition of a mindful activity. And what's beautiful is that it's going to be unique to every individual. You know, it could be as on a continuum, as formal, as doing like sitting in silent meditation and, you know, chanting or it could be going for a walk on the beach, or gardening, or picking up a craft, or painting, or music, whatever is going to get you in the zone of just timelessness. And, you know, when you look at our fur and feather foes, our friends, they're the definition of being in the present moment. They're right here right now. They're you know, they there's no such thing as time. They there's no such thing as holding a grudge or whatever. Well, you know, maybe there is if if, you know, they've been punished and stuff like that. They they they have a tendency to do that. But, you know, overall, children and animals are our best teachers because they haven't been tainted by this world yet as to, you know, what has been projected onto them as to what's gonna work and what's not gonna work because of other people. It it's about allowing yourself the grace to just be instead of thinking that you always have to be in motion. Because when you're being, okay, and you're doing a mindful activity, you're actually in the present moment. You're right here right now. Okay? When you're in the present moment, you're actually in your physical body. Believe it or not. When you're in your physical body, this is where you get to experience emotions. You have to have a physical body to experience emotions. I think what's really kind of comical is that people come to planet Earth to run a learn about emotions on the other side. They plan out their their pre life stuff. They get a whopping dose of amnesia. They come here and they're like, oh my god, emotion dip the pool. Whoop. I'm in my head. I don't want to feel it's like they shut everything down. So what happens is that it's very telling for me where people are when they say I think I feel. What the hell is I think I feel? It's intellectualizing your emotions. You're not actually feeling them. You're thinking about what it should feel like, but you're not actually having the experience.
You need to drop from here to here to this heart brain. Okay? So we have a brain brain, heart brain, and a gut brain. When we're here in our heart, if you look at the figure of eight and the heart is the intersection of the two lobes, this is how we bring more balance into us because we need our brain. We need all the things to play nicely in the sandbox together. Right now, it's just like they're they're doing this sometimes. Right? So we need to blend the things together, and it's not about saying one thing is better than the other. No. I always like to tell people to experiment and make it your own. It's not about somebody else doing it for you. You have the experience because when you have the experience, this is where you're gonna gain the wisdom. Now getting back to what I was talking about being in your body and experiencing emotions, when you're able to feel what is going on. Okay? You're saying, for example, you get triggered. And all of a sudden, you're going down the rabbit hole of, like, oh my god. I don't I don't I don't know. I don't know. It's like when you are awake, okay, this is where your power comes into play. When you are in your physical body, and you get triggered, you have options and choices. Well, you always did, but you're more aware of what your options and choices are. Yes, you could go down to rabbit hole and react, and sometimes, you know, that's necessary. Or you could say to yourself, that's interesting. I'm being triggered. And why is that so? Instead of just automatically respond you know, it it's allowing you to instead of react respond, but also to gain the wisdom as to why. All you need to do is ask why to yourself, and I'm being triggered because of what? And usually, it's the trigger is a tip of the iceberg. It's something way deeper that's within you that is crying to be healed. Okay? And sometimes it's just the acknowledgement of what that is is enough to shift it and brings this whole triggering thing or the emotional uprights to neutrality. It sounds really magical and, you know, very alchemical and that's what it is. I feel people need to realize healing doesn't take a lot. Once you are dialed in and you're in your body and you're gaining the wisdom and you're able to hear that voice within yourself. That voice within yourself is going to be your barometer and to guide you onto your next steps.

Victoria Volk: I can hear people. What if I'm questioning what I'm hearing? How do I know it's not my ego do I you know what I mean? Like, how do I go with my heart and not my ego and I'm not making it up and

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: So the thing is is like start doing grounding exercises. So people could go to my website. I have a a a free downloadable and it's grounding in multiple it's being in the present moment. But it's a grounding exercise that's about five minutes and it allows you to ground your energy in multiple dimensions. And you will definitely feel a difference when you're in your head or when you're in your body. When you pop into okay. Let's put it this way. You're doing your your life and all of a sudden you get this intuitive hit. That you need to be doing something else. And then you jump from your body into your head trying to figure out, is this real? Is this whatever? So you've disconnected the flow by jumping from here to here. And we need to keep you Remember the the whole infinity loop, you need to be here. When you stay in your heart and your body, it's the right thing. When we start going into our head and trying to figure something out, there's nothing to figure out. It's just having a lot of blind faith and trust of what you're getting. And we've been deprogrammed to not trust this. Okay? We've been deprogrammed to not to trust this in many aspects of our life, most importantly, our health and well-being. And I could say this because I'm Western medicine drained and I dabble, you know, I play on the fringes of WUwoo and stuff like that. Many people give their power away to something outside of themselves of that doctor, when their body's screaming at them, don't do it. But they said, well, you know, I don't have the knowledge of stuff, so I'll trust that. You may want to recoil and you know, have another go pass at that because, you know what, we've all had those situations where our intuition's screaming at us, we ignore it, and we do something different and we live to pay the price for it. And Right.

Victoria Volk: I just yeah. I just wanted to share like, it made me think of a great tip for Grievers. Right? Because when you're grieving, let's say it's been it doesn't matter if it's been six months, six years. If you feel like you are stuck stuck in this deep depression, you then go to the doctor, right, to Mhmm. Address your depression, not really realizing that if you sat with your emotions, did this practice of getting to know yourself more intimately instead of trying to run away from your feelings and your past and really look at it, you would not need that doctor, you would not feel depression, you would feel empowered. And I think that's the opposite, you know. It's it's so easy for grievers to jump to that.

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: Well, you know, and and the thing is I think I know grieving is we all go through it. In, you know, whether you lost a loved one or, you know, right now in Southern California, we're ravishing the whole LA fire thing, a huge loss of property. People are grieving. You know, for what had been, what could have been, and, you know, who knows why all this stuff happens to people? It just happens.
I I know from my personal life, it's allowed me to grow at a very deep and profound level, allowing me to have more empathy and compassion, not only for myself, but for other people as well. And grieving is such a personal thing that, you know what, allow yourself to feel and experience what you're experiencing because when you try to suppress that or ignore it, you you know, it's like whatever that is, it turns inward. You start having health challenges, you start getting anxious because you're not it's that's energy that needs to be experienced, so it becomes neutral. When we try to stuff these bubbles of emotion and not deal with them in our energy field, guess what? Over time, it tips into your physical body, and then it starts raising hell in a hand basket. You know, you might come down with cancer. Maybe you got some other chronic thing going on because of that. Because it's repressed emotion or stuck emotion or trapped emotion, whatever that is, and it's wanting to come to from unconsciousness to consciousness. It's like it it moves from being dormant to active because it wants to weigh out, because it doesn't want to stay there. So when we are able to look at what we hide in our physical body, okay, well, let's let's back up a little bit. Just imagine an iceberg. Okay? The tip of the iceberg is the physical body of what we could see. Underneath the surface is all the emotional, mental, spiritual, ancestral things are connected in. Everything that is that we can't see is underneath the surface of that iceberg.
What happens is that when we start melting the iceberg, it floats up. So what's underneath the surface is starting to float up into what we could see. Because it's melting. So what's unconscious underneath the surface is moving to consciousness above the waterline. So now we need to deal with it.
It's like when things are healing, the unconsciousness needs to move to consciousness so we could we could see it, so it could be removed from our field.

Victoria Volk: That's a very good analogy. And it's and it's painful. And it doesn't feel good.

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: No. It doesn't. And and the thing is it's like this two show path.

Victoria Volk: Yes. Yeah?

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: Okay. And it does. And I'll I'll tell you being a human being, it's not for the faint of heart. You're brave and you're courageous. And that gets tested all the time.
And you know what? It's okay. You're not alone. You're not the only one doing it. I have news flash for you.
Everybody experiences this, but not a lot of people talk about it. So how

Victoria Volk: does someone you talked about the moving into the fifth dimension. And what do you suspect is the timeline on that? And then, also,

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: you know what?

Victoria Volk: I have another question after that.

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: Yeah. Go ahead. I I I'm gonna string the essential symptoms in there because

Victoria Volk: Oh, okay. Yeah. And then how do you know yeah. How do you know

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: Oh my god. So funny story because I've been in the clinical setting, most of my career, and I still practice a couple days a week, you know, I assist in surgery. So as a nurse practitioner, but I also do my other stuff as well. And podcast and I have a radio and TV show as well too. But what I'm saying is this, probably about fifteen years ago, there was like a lot of people coming to the emergency department with these signs and symptoms that were mimicking like heart attacks and really bad disease processes or whatever. And the doctors would work everybody up and they weren't having a heart attack or anything like that. But what was clear to me, I was thinking like, oh my god, those are Ascension symptoms. I just kinda knew this. I said because what happens is that, okay, we're energetic beings. Okay. Remember we're vibrating maybe third, fourth dimensional reality right now. Our bodies are much denser. When you take on a higher frequency, your body chemistry and everything, you're becoming more fluid like than dense. Okay? The body's physicality is more of a fluid versus a solid.
And so what happens with that is, like, just like a computer gets an upgraded program, energetically, we are taking in more light, which is a higher frequency. And our body is like the computer that needs to be recalibrated to the higher frequency. It's like creating homeostasis at a higher frequency for people who, you know, are into science and stuff. So what happens is this, when we get a download of information, Sometimes we might feel tired. We might feel like we're coming down with the flu. We might also, you know, feel like our chest is we're having chest pain or whatever. And I'm not saying, don't go to the please do because God forbid, if it's something bad, you wanna make sure we catch it. Yet, just know that if you go to bed sometimes and just relax and sleep, you'll feel different the next day. Because our bodies are recalibrating to a higher frequency. So case in point, I recently just recovered from, like, a week's worth of lagrange. And I am sure I got I know I've been getting energetically downloaded, and it was about me purging a lot of old stuff that was stuck in my body. And that's fine. Because I feel And it didn't take long to do that, and I actually feel more alive now than I have a week before. You know, as as weird as that is. So it's just allowing yourself to just be right here instead of reacting and oh my god. I'm dying or whatever. Because that's what our natural tendency is. Just sit with that and just breathe and do what you can to, I wanna say, soothe self, nurture self, take care of self. This isn't your body wanting you to just rest. We're in a deep state of a lot of people just kind of resting because this is what's happening. The trajectory since two twenty, twenty twelve has been like this and it's like this now. So things are happening rapidly. And they're gonna continue to to rapidly do that. So our body is gonna continually to recalibrate itself and recalibrate itself to take on high more light energy and more frequency. So that's what we're witnessing. And I invite people you know, to do Google search, just look up Ascension symptoms because there's a whole list of them. But I have witnessed that because I knew exactly what that was. They the doctors would send people home because they would find nothing wrong with them. And there wasn't anything wrong with them. They was just essential symptoms. Like, two days later, they were fine.

Victoria Volk: I always thought of it as, like, grief, just manifesting or, like, emotions just manifesting. Right? Since I've been a certified grief specialist in doing the work that I do and learning, you know, like fast forward. Like, I know that now. Right? But before I went for my certification, like the day before my class was to start, I woke up with diarrhea and vomiting. And I had gone to eat with someone I met on the tour bus in this other I went to another state for my training and certification. And I go through the I was going through the process that I take people through now. So it's like I I didn't know what to expect, And I was excited, but I was also really anxious about it too. But had dinner had the same meal as this other person. So I know it wasn't food poisoning.

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: Yeah.

Victoria Volk: But, yeah, I I recognize now that's what it was. It was like the per like you said the word purge. It was the purge before the purge.

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: And, you know, I think we all could agree on this too. It's like whenever you start or sign up for a course, even though it might be months away, it actually coursework starts that day, you sign up. It's like you can energetically, you've committed to that, and it's, like, starting it's in motion. It just doesn't start, like, two months later when you show up. It's in motion.

Victoria Volk: Exactly. Because yeah. You're committed to it. Right? Your energy is behind it already, and I mean, the work.
Yeah.

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: It's right. So, you know, I feel that we're in very exciting times. And I'm very, very optimistic of what the future is going to bring because even though it looks not so much that way, on the outside. This is a necessary process that we're going through. And it's it's gonna be okay. We're all gonna be fine. We really are. And I think one of the biggest things I could share with people is just to be kind to yourself, love yourself, and really work on having a relationship with yourself. Maybe make twenty twenty five a year of recommitting to you.

Victoria Volk: What does your grief taught you?

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: Oh my. My grief has taught me that I am more resilient than I could ever imagine. I'm never alone and there's more help available to us both the what the people we could see and the things that we cannot.

Victoria Volk: Yeah. You mentioned the word trust, and that's actually the word my word of the year.

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: That was my word last year.

Victoria Volk: Oh. Because I I think I I'm a lot I a really struggle because I'm very much

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: Yeah.

Victoria Volk: Like a lot of people. Right? We try to intellectualize grief. We try to intellectualize, like you said, problem solving and talking our way out of it or solution finding our way out of things and some

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: And, you know, sometimes the the only thing you could do is just be and just, you know, allow things. And I I think we as human beings have then program that we have to be in motion, we have to be doing something in order to be labeled as productive member of society. Who made that rule up?

Victoria Volk: Cereal's paradigm. Right?

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: Oh my god. That that is so We're we're we're changing that. I I feel that when you sit in those moments of just being because sometimes you get some of your most profound insights because you're quite enough to hear that.

Victoria Volk: And you may brought up a good point too, and this is one thing that I say a lot is really the answers are in better the better answers are in the better questions. So asking yourself better questions. Engaging in questions with other people and can unlock something for you too. Like, we can't see the label from inside the jar either. So it's like if you feel like you need to talk things out, sometimes that's energetically, that help is helpful for people to talk things out Absolutely. That inspiration and, like, oh, I didn't think of it that way or it can shift your entire perspective of a past experience when you engage in conversation about something emotional. Right?

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: Absolutely. And, you know, even doing something like journaling or something creative if you, you know, dabble in painting or, you know, even if you knit or crochet, I mean, you know, it's a mindful activity. If you could just step into something that's going to like I'm gonna repeat myself, just allow you to lose all sense of time in place. That's that's the sweet spot.

Victoria Volk: That's a great piece of advice in a nutshell.

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: Thank you.

Fifty years ago, the stuff that we're talking about now is considered Wacko Wacko. But it's mainstream now. So, thank god. The paradigms are shifting. And you know, the good news is is that you don't have to to experience this by yourself and try to maneuver through it by yourself. You can, that's a choice. Yet, there's ways of having support for that as well. So I encourage you to reach out and see how I could best support you. Thank you.

Victoria Volk: And thank you so much for sharing all that you shared today. We didn't even get really into, like, the deep grief and different stories that you had because you had mentioned pet loss and job opportunities and other things that you've experienced in your life. Of course, you know, grief stacks up and it's cumulatively negative. Right? Stacks up in our bodies and So we didn't get into a lot of that, but I do feel like this was the divine conversation that was just meant to be as it was and forever needs it, and I trust that people will get from it what they need. So I'll leave it at that, and I thank you so much for being my guest.

Dr. Dolores Fazzino: Thank you so much for having me. I appreciate you.
