Bhupinder Pal Singh Chandel

Descending from a Royal Indian heritage, Bhupinder was born in 1935 in northern India.  On the third day of his life, a Tuesday, he refused to have nourishment placed into his mouth.  He naturally fasted every Tuesday thereafter, which turned out to be the holy fasting day for the revered Hindu monkey-god Hanuman. It did not take long for Bhupinder’s parents to realize his enlightened state of being, and knew this special child was indeed blessed by God.  At three years of age, he began to experience visions and became a channel to express the necessary words to heal others, even though he himself could not fully understand the meaning at such an early age. 

News of the enlightened child spread, and over the years, people came to him seeking answers to their health problems and questioning what the future held in store for them.  He always spoke accurately and with innate wisdom.  In time, his visions led him to begin healing people through a unique and ancient technique that he has now used with great success for over 40 years, restoring good health to the multitudes.  Prior to patient healing, Bhupinder uses his Yogi Shakti to scan the body for the root cause of the ailment.  Once understood, he would begin the healing session.  Drugs or surgery are never used, and there are no side effects.

Bhupinder received his Masters Degrees in Yoga, Magnet Therapy, and Nari Pathy (science of the nervous system).  He also received his PhD in Alternative Systems of Medicines from the University of Patna/India and joined the Indian Board of Alternative Medicine in Calcutta.  His titles include: I.A.M.A.(USA)-President, I.A.M.A.C.(Canada)-President, N.H.F.I. (USA)Vice President, A.C.I.A.I.I.(USA)-Vice President, V.K.A.M.A.(INDIA)-President, N.H.U.P (INDIA)-Director.  Other degrees include: Ordained Minister/International Assembly of Spiritual Healers and Earth Stewards Congregations, Certified Spiritual Healer/ International Assembly of Spiritual Healers and Earth Stewards Congregations, Diplomat of Earth Stewardship/International Assembly of Spiritual Healers and Earth Stewards Congregations. Bhupinder is also the Vice President of the Natural Healing Foundation, Inc.(Member-International Assembly of Spiritual Healers and Earth Stewards Congregations).  In 1995 on World Health Day, Bhupinder was the humble recipient of the Shiromani award, the (Indian) Nobel Prize, presented to him by no other than Holy Mother Teresa herself.   This award was granted for 19 specific years of using his unique healing technique, healing millions of people along the way, including a good number of Indian dignitaries.  Bhupinder attributes any and all of his success to the divine Grace of God; he explains that he administers the treatment, but God does the healing. 

Kathleen Almgren

Kathleen is an associate healer working with Bhupinder.  She is a native of California, born in Marin County.  In 2006, she received her doctorate in the Healing Arts; the President of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, presented to her this most prestigious degree. Kathleen also holds the distinguished titles of: Chancellor IAMA/Canada, Treasurer IAMA/USA, and the Course Director Alternative Medicine University/India.

Kathleen initially came to Bhupinder as a client. She was suffering horribly from several disorders and had tried just about every known treatment but none of them were effective.  After an appropriate number of healing sessions with Bhupinder, Kathleen was permanently healed; so moved was she by the compassionate care and mindful practice of the good healer, that she dedicated her life to studying with him.  From the healing she received, Kathleen’s life has been forever changed in the most positive of ways, and now using her own Yogi Shakti, she assists Bhupinder with his healing sessions.

Many clients arrive at the doorstep of Bhupinder and Kathleen as a last resort.  Their ailments and disease range from arthritis to kidney disease, from migraines to heart problems, from cancer to infertility; the list is extensive.  They had all sought out various other treatment modalities with little or no success, many had received a bleak prognosis from their doctor.  With Chandel’s Method of Healing, patients became healed and remained so, regaining the priceless quality of good health.

Together, Bhupinder and Kathleen hold a beautiful vision and mission of healing the people of the world through their Natural Healing Foundation; their ministry looks forward to establishing a healing center in Santa Barbara.

From bass player/band member with Bonnie Raitt for a decade to countless studio sessions and tours with artists ranging from John Mayall, CSN, Maria Muldaur, Neil Young, and Ringo Starr, to T.V. appearances on "Saturday Night Live," "Midnight Special," and  "Muppets Tonight," as well as tuba performances with Dr. John and the legendary Spinal Tap, Freebo has achieved status and respect in a creative and highly competitive field.

Not satisfied with simply resting on his laurels as a top sideman, however, Freebo has continued to push his creative envelope, and has evolved into an award winning singer/songwriter with three solo CDs to his credit; 1999's "The End Of The Beginning," 2002's "Dog People" (songs about the human/canine connection), and his latest, "Before The Separation", which was nominated in 5 categories in the JPF Awards,  had 2 songs in the top 10 of the International Songwriting Competition, and won the prestigious South Florida Folk Festival  Songwriting Competition.

Showing his complete arrival and comfort as a singer/songwriter, The Philadelphia Inquirer said of his latest CD, "Freebo's stepping into a new role of singer/songwriter suits him well. 'Before the Separation' flows with a compassionate spirit rooted in '60s ideals, but packing a gently urgent relevancy.  Freebo's songs span styles from folk, blues, & country to R&B, reggae, and rock'n'roll, and his live performances, mainly on acoustic guitar, take you on a musical and lyrical ride, creating an intimate unity with his audience”.

Drawing on his years of experience in recording, touring, and the many lessons learned in the transition from sideman to frontman, from shadow artist to artist, Freebo now does workshops and seminars in songwriting, performance, and The Courage To Be An Artist. He is also beginning work on an internet TV show, as well as a book about choices.

Bridging has collaborated with so many extraordinary musicians that we felt it appropriate, long-overdue in fact, to do a Bridging Show solely dedicated to the incredible musicians who we have played/worked with, joyously and lovingly, over the years.  When we looked at the Bridging Show tapes, we were astonished to see just how many magical musicians there were who were featured on Bridging--and how difficult it would be to choose some and leave others off this First Bridging Music Show.  Please enjoy this Bridging Show that highlights just a few, and let us know if you'd like us to do more that would feature many more extraordinary musicians. 

On this show, we featured the extraordinary and diverse talents of Twinflame, Abigail, Guy Monroe, Miki Huber, Alana Sweetwater, and Deva Premal & Miten.

Walter is an amateur theoretical archaeo-astronomer and author of the binary theory of precession. As Executive Director of the Binary Research Institute, he researches the celestial mechanics of the precession of the equinox, as well as myth and folklore related to this phenomenon. He is the writer-producer of The Great Year, a PBS broadcast documentary film (narrated by James Earl Jones) that explores evidence of astronomical cycles of time known to cultures throughout the ancient world.

Most recently, Walter wrote Lost Star of Myth and Time, a book that provides an alternative view of history based on the solar system’s motion through space. It is his belief that the myth and folklore depicting a repeating cycle of Golden Ages and Dark Ages may have a basis in fact, due to the alternating stellar forces that affect Earth as our solar system moves in a 24,000-year binary (dual star) orbit.

A new cyclical paradigm of ancient history is fast gaining momentum.  Walter speaks about this in his ground-breaking book “Lost Star of Myth and Time” revealing evidence that our Sun has a mysterious companion star carrying our Earth through a great cycle of stellar influences.     What are the influences and how might they affect consciousness?  Where are we in this cycle?  What did the Ancients say about the time we are living in and what can we expect in the coming years?

The key to understanding these questions lies in understanding the celestial mechanics behind Precession of the Equinox.  Walter will briefly describe how the heavens move in our corner of the Universe and how humanity is riding the most significant wave of expansion that has ever occurred.
