About Grace Rose
I have been on a journey of discovery and exploration for nearly four decades. I have delved deeply into the bio-electrical currents of our bodies, discovering how this life-force current weaves the dimensions of our existence emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.
When I was sixteen, in physics class, I felt mesmerized by the teacher’s chalkboard illustration of a dendrite (nerve ending) and how the synapse triggers a spark of light that creates life; I was suddenly aware of the bioelectrical current that flows through and feeds our body, giving it life. Ever since, I’ve been in awe of being alive, feeling and imagining what’s possible for us as human beings when we begin to trust our inner sensitivity, cultivate our life force energy, and allow it to guide us through our physical body.
I love diverse and unique people (even as a young girl, I could see the spark of divine life in most people’s eyes), being of service, celebrating, and playing with our inspiration and musings. Nature has been my refuge, solace, and best spiritual teacher since I was a small child.
My life-changing event was when my mother, 51, died from a gunshot wound inflicted by my only brother who was 17 at the time; I was 30. This was the catalyst of an intense emotional, mental, and spiritual inner quest to discover how this could have happened in our family. As I sought deeper understanding, I was eventually able to forgive my brother, mother, and myself.
I was the first woman in the family to attend college. I earned a master’s degree in Counseling and one in Education at Arizona State University (ASU) in Tempe, Arizona, where I moved after my mother died so I could be closer to my father and begin a new chapter in my life.
I began to have significant dreams and prophetic insights after my mother’s passing. She communicated with me via dreams for about six months. She kept asking to speak with David, my brother. I continued to respond in the dreams that he wasn’t there. While sleeping on the rooftop where I lived, I heard her voice calling my name in real time, not a dream. And, the following night, she woke me and was present nearby as she gave me a message to deliver to my brother. She wanted me to ask him if he could find it in his heart to forgive her.
I visited him in the halfway house close to his 21st birthday that summer. We went for an outdoor lunch at a lake where swans were swimming. I asked him if Mom ever came to him in dreams and he nodded. I shared that she’d come to me as well, requesting that I ask him if he could forgive her, owning her part of pushing him too far, and asking for his forgiveness. I held him as he sobbed in my arms. As we embraced, several swans soared into the sky above us.
I discovered the power of conscious, connected breathing during this time, in the early 80s when I signed up for a series of rebirthing sessions with a practitioner in Tempe, Arizona. During my first breathing session with Ross Brunner, I recalled the lifetime I was living prior to returning to Earth for this lifetime. Although I was in a heavenly realm with the divine mother, we were all called to return to Earth and everyone in the collective left without hesitation. I, however, wasn’t willing to go unless I was guaranteed I’d be with the Divine Mother. The next memory during this rebirth was being in my mother’s womb. asking if I was with the Divine Mother or not. This life’s birth experience was a forty-hour labor as my mother was barely 18 and had received anesthesia. I began to clear negative beliefs and thoughts around my birth about what life was like, that it could “kill you” and the “struggle to be born can be eased with help.”
Finding my growing inner body awareness with conscious, connected breathing gave me the courage to channel my grief in creative ways via expressive art and gestalt therapy. I experienced living multidimensionally during a holotropic breathwork weekend with Christine & Stan Groff. I cleared several past lives as a black African woman who’d been beaten, raped, and killed. This was the beginning of me unwinding deeper inner shadow work and realizing that I could choose to stay in the consciousness of being a victim of my life circumstances or to believe and trust I could become a victor over past experiences by choosing to reframe them consciously, emotionally, and spiritually.
Professionally, I have served as an educator in public schools, a counselor on Hopi and Navajo reservations, a child and family therapist with the Phoenix Indian Center, Jewish Family Services, and the New Foundation; I have also served as a mentor for Prescott College’s education and psychology students.
After my son was born, I found the courage to launch my own private practice. Pure Energy Integration includes body sense awareness and trauma release integration via breathwork, creative expression, energy awareness, circulation, and cultivation. It empowers people to become their own counselors and healers via ongoing group sessions and gatherings. It has served people in Maricopa County, Arizona, Orange County, California, and Portland, Maine. I am now practicing in Port Townsend, Washington.
The summer I turned sixty, in 2011, I discovered two life-changing vehicles of wisdom transmission. I’d been struggling to understand and utilize Human Design when Cindy Silva, from whom I was taking the course, encouraged me to look into the Gene Keys. When I printed out my Hologenetic Profile and viewed it for the first time, I felt a profound energetic confirmation of my spiritual development and evolution. In the language of the Gene Keys, the highest essence of my Life’s Work turned out to be Forgiveness, the deeper significance of which I had been seeking for the past 30 years.
The second energetic work was with Kazzy Holbrook. It was termed “cosmic pulsing,” which introduced me to Dr. Jacqueline Hobbs, known now as Oracle Girl. Both Jacqueline Hobbs and Richard Rudd, the founder of the Gene Keys, were born in the UK. I am eternally grateful for their empowering message that we, as humans, have a natural ability to transmute density into purity and actively engage in creative dreaming.
I began writing when my son was in high school in California. I was the same age as my mother when she died, and my son was the same age as my brother when we lost Mom. It took me four years in a writing studio to complete the manuscript for Forgiveness Beyond Time. Since moving to Port Townsend, I continue to write memoirs and develop as a poet. I’ve had chapters published in two friends’ self-published books, and my first printed poem was published in 2019 in the Northwest Olympic Authors Anthology. I also self-published a book of poetry in 2022, Bubbling Springs in Troubling Times.
