I was born in Kirkland Ontario. I am the youngest of 3 children. My mom at one point in her life was a lumberjack. She suffered from Rage-Complex Syndrome and when I was born she had a stroke that very much changed her life and our family’s life. I spent much of my young life with my grandmother. She taught me so very much. I would not be alive today without the wisdom and the knowledge she gave to me. My father was gone from home much of the time with his traveling sales. My Father, Ted, died when I was eight years old from cancer. Prior to his death, his major health issue was Diabetes. My brother, 15 years older than myself, has had bouts with cancer, gastrointestinal issues, Type II Diabetes, and accident-related injuries. My sister is 7 years older than me. When she was very young she was seriously injured from a fall that affects her the rest of her life.
As for myself, I have had a number of different health issues in my short 45 years. As a very little boy, I had gastrointestinal problems. Having issues with being able to eliminate my bowels resulted in surgery at the age of 6. I also have had neurological issues with my legs not being able to walk till I was 3. Between the ages of 3-5, I did more falling down than walking. I remember my dad and my brother helping me to walk by placing my feet on theirs and walking around with me. I had juvenile hemophilia that resolved as I grew older. Just prior to going into the 5th grade I had unexplainable fatigue and was in out of the hospital for much of the school year. Thanks to an amazing teacher that would come to the hospital and tutor me, I was able to continue my school work.
After getting out of the hospital, we moved to Port Rowen to be closer to the family. There I got to know my Aunts and Uncles and cousins that really helped us survive. There I had two major accidents that resulted in a broken neck. It was here that my healers’ training started… I start learning about the healing of me. Some very loving people with ancient wisdom and knowledge began teaching me. Some major shifts and changes in my life began around this age. I understand now more about the visions and dreams that I was given then.
Life is an interesting teacher. Through many loves and losses, I have learned to cherish life and their relationship with people. The Rage-Complex syndrome seemed to haunt me in my life. It nearly destroyed me before I was able to find the healing needed for me.
By my mid 20’s I had killed the “enemy’ in service for my country and suffered great emotional sorrow over those lives that ended at the scope of my gun. In my journey of love, I have lost to illness and accidents 5 beautiful souls. I downward spiraled. Trust was unheard of and the darkness of depression was a commonplace. My works life was mostly filled with temp jobs. Amazingly that is where a lot of my healing stories come from. At one point in my life my legs gave out on me and I spent about a year in and out of a wheelchair. I know what it is to live years on disability. Living life from one Doctor’s appointment to the next. Being diagnosed and healing from cancer myself 3 different times. Life gave me the knowing and clarity came to what I did want in my life and what I definitely did not want in my life. I seemed to start living 2 lives one of the temp jobs and existing, the other going on mission trips helping to heal me and helping others and working to change my life and the life of others around the world.
So many things in my younger life, it did not make sense. I blocked out a lot of the Trauma and Drama. I suffered the loss of all my physical belongs to a fire. In my 30’s I walked away from all the mind-altering medicines and healed theme that was living in a “bright world”. I began to understand the intuitive and healing gifts that were being developed for me. I am still healing and still on my earthly journey. I have been many places around the world and have learned from many many healers and many people. Here I will share my knowledge of my healing and my journey.
I now am back in Canada, the place of my birth, living close to my brother. I still plan to travel occasionally. I share my experiences and knowledge through classes that I teach and the stories that I tell. I, Eric Unwin, the healing bard, am home.
