An Interview with Regina Murphy

Piercing The Veil

Regina Murphy was born in 1953…the fourth of six girls from Brooklyn, New York. The most exciting thing about her life as a child was trying to stay out of trouble at St. Michaels school and trying to decide what convent she was going to join as soon as they would let her. Regina took religion very seriously and was sure being a nun would make her happy for life. Seeing the movie “The Song of Bernadette” changed her life and this is when her faith in God and Mary really took hold. The “Story of Fatima”, which she played an angel in, in second grade, reinforced her belief in the unseen. According to Regina, “I did not yet have a grasp on the fact that I was a born rule breaker. I was born on the same day as Tony Spilatro, the Vegas Mob figure, so if there is any truth to astrology you know I could not have made a good nun”.

Living in a predominantly Irish neighborhood Regina naturally fell in love with an Italian boy named John who delivered meat for his father, a local butcher. They weren’t married a year before they left Brooklyn and headed for Las Vegas and founded the J&R Flooring carpet business.

Regina became a mother of two beautiful girls, Jamie in 1976 and Michelle in 1981. Her son John, was born in 1986 and would become a driving force in Regina’s choice of careers. After retiring from J&R Flooring Regina began her path as a therapist in the healing arts.   Visit LoveInActioninc .com

ILT: When I first met you way back when, you were using aura photography as a tool. Why this modality?

RM: Once I was able to see the effects of an energy session I was hooked. The images that appeared on the photos intrigued me and brought new meaning about the unseen. In fact, the camera was a great tool that gave my session some validity.

ILT: What type of items did you photograph?

RM: Everything. I, in essence, became the “mad scientist.” There wasn’t anything off limits. I took pictures of food, music, people, pictures, crystals, rocks, animals…you name it. It was fun not only for me but my clients loved it as well. It was amazing when I took “before” and “after” pictures as people received a healing session such as Reiki, massage or EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).

ILT: Regina, please explain what is EFT.

RM: It’s a modality that is based on the meridians of the body. It works by releasing stuck emotions, energy and self-limiting beliefs. It’s really great for helping one move beyond a fractured thought system.

ILT: So in conjunction with the different practices you use, such as Reiki, massage, EFT, tuning forks etc., the camera is a large part of understanding what is happening to someone?

RM: Yes it is. The camera has become a real window into the energy field in a way that astounds me. What’s even more amazing is that once my aura camera broke I was led to experiment with an ordinary digital camera. To my surprise, not only did the energy show up, it also appeared to capture the client’s higher self. What a trip.

ILT: What are some of the things the camera revealed?

RM: Streams of energy flowing from the person or objects, faces in the background, orbs, and other beings. Everything has an energy signature — whether inanimate or animate and that is what the camera is picking up on.

ILT: You indicate that the camera shows the energy flow. How does this help in the healing process?

RM: When I take the before picture and then work on the client, the after picture reflects a different energy pattern. When an issue is cleared you can visibly see this in the photo. I believe that people need to have validation and the camera is but one way for that to happen. They can see the difference from the beginning, during and after a healing session. It makes it more real.

ILT: You’ve obviously snapped thousands of pictures over the years. Have you had anyone else validate what you do?

RM: Once I started putting the photos on my website, I received a call from Professor Emeritus William Tiller of Stanford University, Material Science. He asked to examine my collection and found the pictures were indeed tapping into another reality. Professor Tiller has authored, Science and Consciousness and Some Science Adventures with Real Magic. As of today he is still interested in anything I am photographing.

ILT: Do the camera reflections change with a person’s thoughts?

RM: Oh yes, most definitely. The camera is a great tool for bringing awareness to the client on how their beliefs and thoughts change their energy field. It makes it real to them and brings greater consciousness.

ILT: What did your family think about you and your camera?

RM: In the beginning they kept trying to convince me that the camera was broken. They also felt I was losing it after John died. I think it made them uncomfortable, especially when I told them John was trying to communicate with me. Instinctively a mother knows these connections. However, one day a photo came through that even the biggest skeptic could not deny…John was making his presence known.

ILT: That had to be exciting for you.

RM: It was. I feel that John is my greatest teacher. He continues to teach me and push me past my comfort zones daily from the other side of the veil. He is such a guiding force in my life that he gives me hope and comfort.

ILT: So aside from what images the photos show, what else does the client receive?

RM: Besides a healing, they can see that they are not alone. They also have the power to change their lives and that it isn’t what I am doing; it’s what they are accomplishing. My goal is to awaken them to their own power through the photos. If they physically see it then they can believe it.

ILT: I know we spoke briefly of Reiki, massage, EFT and tuning forks. Do you use other modalities?

RM: I teach Energy Psychology. I have found that sound can open the receptors in every cell faster than any drug. Energy Psychology is a practice that helps one break through stagnant energy through tapping the meridians in the body. By so doing, negative emotions can be released and replaced with positive thought patterns. It is highly effective, especially with regards to trauma situations.

ILT: How exactly has this work impacted your life?

RM: I have had to get out of my comfort zone. I also can no longer remain “unseen” and in the background. My son John is continually encouraging me from the other side, which in some way strengthens my faith. I believe we are addicted to “reason” and “proof” which may be our downfall. What we see we believe while the unseen forces cause skepticism. In fact, the images found in the photos can challenge people’s entire belief system.

ILT: We have talked a great deal about the unseen energy. Did you ever have imaginary playmates growing up? Did you “see” things?

RM: No, but I always wanted to see things. I remember as a child my one dream was to see the Blessed Mother. Although I never did see anything, I was able to feel energy. Not until I started using the aura camera did the images become visible.

ILT: How do you interpret what you see?

RM: Mostly from intuition and my understanding of energy. The client themselves can also intuit the images or they can find a medium to help get additional details.

ILT: What does piercing the veil prove?

RM: It proves that we are all connected on some level. That the other side interacts with us if we are willing to acknowledge it. As I said before, we are not in this alone. How and what we do affects all levels of consciousness. The time has come for us to realize that we are infinite beings and we did not begin when we were born nor will we end when our heart stops.

The second thing the camera has solidified for me is that what we focus on truly becomes our reality…just as Quantum Physics tells us. Think about it, a camera that can be altered by thought…producing miraculous pictures.

ILT: What is one of your most exciting experiences?

RM: Wow, there are so many it’s hard to pick. Each time I put my memory cards into my computer I expect to see something miraculous. It’s like being a little kid unwrapping a present. I think one of my most memorable times was recently. I felt that John was there insisting that I take a picture of the “almost” full moon that was about to set over our gorgeous mountains. Since I live on a lake in Desert Shores it is a particularly beautiful scene.

I now had two cameras and decided to “Shoot the moon.” With my new camera I can see the energy inside the window which does not happen with the camera I use in the healing room. I can only see energy after the photo is taken. I noticed an intense pink ball of light in the camera but it was not visible in the sky. I took several photos and realized the ball was moving and I seemed to be able to direct where it was going. Finally I got the ball (with my mind) to align itself with the actual moon and the moon’s reflection on the lake…all in a straight line. I was quite amazed by this because I was using what seemed to be my intention to do this. I must admit, I talk to the camera as if it was John. After I put these photos up on the computer, I realized the pink ball of light was actually inside the lake area. The fact that it was inside the lake meant it wasn’t up with the moon. What’s even more amazing is that this same pink light was found on some photos I took while at Red Rock where we were participating in blessing the Earth with Janee Veere.

Further validation came shortly after that when Susan, who makes crystal jewelry, called about this dream she had where John came to her in the form of a pink light. He talked to her about being able to do these things ONLY because he had aligned himself with Jesus. Then she mentioned something about a candle. This really shook me up because I had lit a candle next to my favorite picture of John where I could see it as I went to sleep. I never do this because David, my husband is so safety conscious. I fell asleep looking at the photo and the candle. I must say, many things about this gift have been exciting, but I am actually still in shock over this last incident.

ILT: Regina, where do you see this work taking you?

RM: It is pretty difficult to answer that question since I am in an “unimaginable” life now. I “get” to live a life of service and blessings flow endlessly. I would hope these pictures finally prove the existence of “Spirit” and life after death. I would hope to create a shift in how we feel about who we are as great spirits that never die and begin to realize that each of us is a “Spark of Divinity”. I hope to photograph a soul as it makes its transition and help to alleviate the fear of death. Working in a hospice setting is next on my list of things to do. I always wanted to be a tiny part of making the world a better place and maybe somehow these pictures can do that. On a personal note I would love to photograph the Sacred Sites all over the world, especially all the Marion Shrines like Fatima, Lourdes and Medjugorje. Even if suddenly this gift was to end, I feel I have learned so much about energy and healing that I never could have learned any other way, and I would continue to teach what I have learned.

ILT: You’re in the process of finishing a book entitled, The Elusive Gift of Tragedy. What is it about and why did you write this book?

RM: The Elusive Gift of Tragedy is about my son John. I really wanted my grandchildren to come to know their uncle John and what a beautiful spirit he is. I did not want the story of his life lost forever in a few details. His generosity and insights were gems that showed the heart of a young teenager.

Secondly, I wrote it because the healer in me instinctively knew that telling our story was the greatest gift I could give myself to move me through the loss.

And last but not least, because Energy Psychology, my primary healing tool, is so difficult to explain, the book made it come to life. Using the backdrop of how EP saved my life and helped John through his emotional torment gives hope to mothers that there is something other than medication. His death, from an accidental overdose, also serves as a wake-up call to anyone who has the potential to become addicted to anti-anxiety medications and their consequences.

If this book helps just one mother, I have done my job and it truly gives meaning to John’s life and early death.

ILT: If there is one thing you would like to tell our readers, what would that be?

RM: The one thing I would tell the readers is that healing is a choice. Also that there are various levels of healing from the emotional to the physical and all in between. We can move beyond illness and we can also ask our loved ones from the other side for support. We must learn the difference between processing emotion and stuffing emotion. This is a lesson that few understand and even fewer practice.

Once we can move past what keeps us from creating, we can all assist in bringing heaven closer to earth. The best part is that it begins with us. When we no longer exist in a world of guilt, anger, fear, grief and blame, we infect everyone around us with a higher vibration. Eventually we can begin to vibrate in a place of love and that is what Heaven is…A place of LOVE.

ILT: Regina, thank you for sharing your love, your passion and your son, John.
