In this episode of *Innerkilled* Brett Michael Phillips shares his remarkable journey from tech enthusiast to spiritual healer. Hailing from Las Vegas, Brett recounts his early days as a self-proclaimed nerd, immersed in Dungeons & Dragons, Star Trek, and video games, with dreams of becoming a video game developer. His academic path led him to MIT, where he discovered the internet and pursued advanced studies in internet programming. During the 1990s internet boom, Brett founded two startups—one focused on website development for major clients like Sony PlayStation and Disneyland, and another chasing his passion for video games. However, his relentless ambition and 100-hour workweeks led to a devastating health crisis at age 27, resulting in diagnoses of carpal tunnel syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome, and other conditions. A leading doctor declared him permanently disabled, predicting a life of chronic pain and inability to work, which was compounded by betrayal from a business partner and a personal relationship fallout.

Faced with physical, emotional, and financial rock bottom, Brett explored alternative medicine for five years without significant improvement. A failed experimental surgery left his right arm paralyzed, deepening his despair. However, a pivotal encounter with energy healer Terry O’Connell, facilitated by his persistent aunt, marked a turning point. Through Terry’s theta brain wave techniques and subconscious reprogramming, Brett experienced a miraculous recovery, regaining full use of his arm. This transformative experience inspired him to dedicate over a decade to studying healing modalities, eventually developing his own system, Awakening Dynamics. Brett categorizes healing technologies into three generations: first-generation positive thinking (e.g., law of attraction), second-generation subconscious reprogramming (e.g., theta healing), and third-generation physical consciousness techniques, which he learned from mentor Carl Wolf. These methods emphasize clearing subconscious blocks and reconnecting with the body’s consciousness to achieve profound healing and personal growth.

Brett’s candid storytelling weaves together themes of resilience, skepticism, and spiritual awakening. He shares insights on the interconnectedness of mind, body, and consciousness, challenging the Cartesian divide between science and spirituality. His current work focuses on helping others through Awakening Dynamics, offering a structured yet intuitive approach to healing. Listeners are invited to explore his teachings via his website https://awakeningdynamics.com and a free 20-minute discovery call to determine if his intensive, truth-focused approach aligns with their journey. The episode is a compelling exploration of overcoming adversity, embracing alternative healing, and finding purpose through personal transformation.
