The In your face Boston Healer who flipped the script: A Chicken and a Hug in Taipei

Master Brian Collins performing a Chi Gong demo in 1996 so when you say “That’s Bullshit”.. here is some proof for ya, that’s me right there above as a very young man showing my Chi Gong chops in Guangzhou China…..

There are moments in life when ego tries to stand in the way of true service—and it always reveals the true nature of a person.

In 1996, I was invited to Taipei and Mainland China as part of a cultural exchange highlighting Qi Gong and energy medicine. I didn’t go as a star or a master—I went as a humble practitioner open to whatever experience the universe had in store for me. At the time, I was a MUCH younger man, deep in intensive training in Chi Gong, Hawaiian Spirituality and Filipino Martial Arts and was just starting to fully understand how spiritual energy could move through the body in real-time to alter time and space.

At a Taipei health fair, locals from the mountain regions came into the big city hoping for help for chronic issues. Many of them had never received proper care, relying mostly on the strength of their own will. I started casually working with people at the fair—not as part of a performance or any main stage—just a few quick energy sessions to ease pain and bring alignment where I could.

👉 Then it happened.

Someone experienced instant relief after seeing me.

Then another and another….

A small line then formed to have me aid them.

…TIt quickly became a crowd.

Suddenly, people were stepping out of the “official” healing line and forming a separate one… for me—the gasp! Lo fan? (foreigner). The “Master” we were traveling with was not amused at this at all. His pride had been punctured by something he couldn’t control: pure, intention-based energy transfer. He had the titles. He had the spotlight, but….

But I had something different: presence, purpose, and permission.

And the people around me felt the chi as well.

One elderly man who had come down from the mountains shuffled toward me.

He’d carried a severe farming neck injury for years—something that had made it hard to sleep, eat, and live. After a brief five-minute session, the life long pain was gone completely. His eyes widened. He looked around, unsure if it was a trick.

But it wasn’t.

He returned about an hour later, teary-eyed, and offered me the most meaningful gift he could find: a live chicken from his village that he brought to sell.

That was his currency of gratitude.

I smiled, bowed, and told him it was 100% free and just asked him for a hug for payment. He looked up at the large white man who had just helped him, tears now streaking his face, and embraced me with the full energy of his ancestors behind him and offered a genuine hug. And I knew in that moment—I wasn’t there to impress or to perform.

I was there to shake things up, me, the unexpected Lo Fan Chi Gong Master

A white guy with this ability? Who wasn’t greedy or an obnoxious jerk?

I was there to unlock my true self.

This moment—chicken and all—remains one of the most honest expressions of what true healing is and the pure gratitude someone showed me for simply being me. Sure after this trip, I went on in my multi-decade career to do things like curing the blind and aiding countless infertile women in having children, life long migraine cures in 1 touch, etc, etc, etc, blah blah blah so many “miracles”…. but I also saw that some clients expected me to cure them, in fact some demanded and treated me as their personal energy slave.

But I have learned MUCH since my time at my former brick and mortar Newbury Street office in Boston and well, those who demanded and expected a slave? well are still who they are, lost deep inside and well, they will eventually meet whatever they believe in and discuss it with that/them/whatever.

It is not about the taking the spotlight on the stage.

It’s not about the sacred robe or special hat.

It’s not about the title,

Its not the wireless face mic to tower over and scream at people your philosophy

Its not about inner demand, manipulation to acquire or fear energy guiding you

It’s about understanding your gravitational connection.

At Life in Synergy, this is how we still operate (roll).

From Boston to Taipei, from the wonderful energy of the Kalalau Valley in Kaua’i, the truth of healing hasn’t changed: you don’t need the spotlight—you need sincerity. Our decades-long success, including Helena Collins Apex Life in Synergy® Program, Helena Collins Synergistics Fitness Method® and the EFV Keys program, are built on this kind of real-world energy work—where truth, transformation, and yes, even live chickens, show up when you’re aligned with your mission.

Why Coming in 33rd Made Perfect Sense for Us — And What It Means Spiritually.

We Came in 33rd!!!

And Wow, That Feels so…Right.

A little while back just for kicks, we entered a nationwide contest to be America’s Favorite Couple.

Not because we’re into contests.

Not because we love social media.

Honestly? We did it as a joke to have some silly fun.

We figured with no campaigning, no hashtags, no social media back up and no filters, we’d quietly land somewhere in obscurity.

Instead… we placed 33rd!

Now, we’re not huge into numerology—but if you know anything about the number 33, you know it’s got a bit of a reputation.

🤨 What’s the deal with the vibe of 33?

• It’s known as a Master Number, symbolizing compassion, guidance, and service.

• Many traditions consider it the number of the “Teacher of Teachers.”

• Spiritually, it represents the blending of earthly life with higher consciousness

• And yes—33 vertebrae in the spine. Not a coincidence when your work involves raising energy.

If we had to land somewhere, this feels like a weirdly accurate place.Because at Life in Synergy, we’ve spent decades helping people move from confusion to clarity, stress to strength, burnout to alignment. No fluff. No hype. Just real transformation.

😉 Placing 33rd feels like the universe’s quiet wink to us.

A reminder that we are exactly where we should be.

We were meant to be exactly where those who are ready will find us.

And maybe… that’s you.

The Battle for Your Inner Peace: Why the Modern World Demands Ancient Wisdom

We’re all feeling it—an invisible pressure pulling on our minds, hearts, and bodies.

From the moment we wake up, the world floods us with noise: the news cycle, economic tension, AI upheaval, personal struggles, and the ever-growing pressure to keep up. But what if the chaos out there isn’t the enemy? What if the true battle is with the internal energies that haven't been addressed or understood yet?

At Life in Synergy, we believe it is.

We live in a world that has mastered distraction.

What it hasn’t mastered—what most of us are never taught—is how to center, cleanse, and transmute the energies that get trapped inside us. These aren’t just stressors; they’re energetic imprints. And if you don’t address them, they become the silent architects of your anxiety, physical pain, poor focus, and spiritual stagnation. But there’s good news: These energies can be shifted.

A Real Solution for a Disconnected Age

Our online offerings, including the Apex Life in Synergy® Program and the Synergistic Fitness Method®, were created for exactly this moment in history—where people need more than social media based clip advice. They need a system that bridges body, mind, and soul.

For over 25+ years, Helena Collins and Brian Collins built this system on the floors of our award-winning Boston studio at 9 Newbury Street. Back then, clients would walk into a fitness session with Helena or a healing session with Brian and leave having purged emotional energy they didn’t even realize they were holding. Why? Because our approach works with your emotional, energetic, and physical blueprint all at once.

We don’t separate wellness from spirit.

We don’t view stress as something you “manage.”

We view it as a signal that something deep is ready to be shifted.

And our programs give you the tools to do just that.

The Cost of Not Acting

We’re not being dramatic when we say this: The cost of not aligning with your inner energy in 2025 is your health, your clarity, and your future.

We’re entering an age where energetic congestion is showing up as real illness, chronic fatigue, emotional burnout, and hopelessness. Your body and soul were not meant to carry this weight without guidance.

If you’ve ever felt like:

• “I’m doing everything right, but something’s still off.”

• “I can’t focus no matter what I do.”

• “I keep repeating patterns I don’t understand.”

Then what you need is not motivation or mindset. What you need is a clearing, a reset, and a guided return to your internal energetic truth.

How Life in Synergy Helps You Reconnect

Whether you start with one of our on-demand programs, dive into our metaphysical teaching library, or begin a full transformation through the Apex Life in Synergy® Program, you’ll be doing something that only a few have been trained to offer: You’ll be recalibrating the energetic intelligence of your being. Not just learning to stretch, move, or breathe—but learning to purge, to reclaim your inner “yes”, and to align with your unique frequency. It’s not fluff. It’s real, grounded, transformational work backed by decades of success and spiritual science.

Why You Need This Now

This isn’t a pitch for you to purchase some online crap.

It’s a truth: If you wait for the world to calm down before finding peace, you’ll never find it.

The world is not designed to gift you peace. You must create it from within.

And that’s exactly what we teach at Life in Synergy. With the powerful energetic lineage passed through our work, the fusion of metaphysical wisdom and physical activation, and a system that actually works, you’re not just surviving 2025—you’re beginning your personal energetic evolution.

Let us guide you through it.

Massachusetts in Motion: The Subtle Power of Collective Consciousness Alignment

(ALL) Life in Synergy®

Hello Awesome reader of all things Life in Synergy®

I wanted to share some incredible news that underscores the collective conscious impact of our work: Massachusetts has just been named the top economy in the entire country! It’s a powerful validation of the energy that we’ve been cultivating right here in our “tiny” but mighty state. While places like Hawaii are grappling with economic and energetic challenges and are rated 3rd worst in the country, Massachusetts is thriving. And it’s no coincidence. The story link about it is here. Since 1997, Helena and I have dedicated ourselves to transforming lives and businesses through our award-winning programs at Life in Synergy.

Our commitment to elevating spiritual and personal energy has not only transformed countless lives but has also contributed to the flourishing group mind environment around us in Massachusetts. We live all this

We also live in the safest community in the entire country, two years running—and our economy is booming.

This isn’t just luck; it’s the result of years of dedicated work and spiritual alignment in synergy.

At Life in Synergy, we’ve consistently walked the walk, helping thousands of individuals and businesses realign their energies, achieve greater harmony, and ultimately contribute to this thriving environment. Meanwhile, it’s truly disheartening to see a place as spiritually significant as Hawaii facing such a decline. I recall a very poignant moment from years ago, when Helena and I were attending a Hawaiian spiritual seminar. A native Hawaiian man, filled with hostility and intent on intimidating us, approached our property up in Ha’ena Kaua’i where we rented for a week.

Without knowing who we were or why we were there, he walked over, took out his penis, looked at us with stinkeye and urinated on the sacred land. This blatant act of disrespect and racism shocked us—not only because of his personal hostility, but because of the energetic damage it inflicted on the land. It was a moment that underscored how negative actions can poison the very mana that sustains a place.

And now, we can’t help but feel that Hawaii’s current troubling decline might indeed be tied to a much deeper energetic imbalance that cannot be ignored. There’s likely some hidden, unacknowledged force—perhaps a massive spiritual distortion or significant karmic wound—that’s throwing the beautiful islands off-center and preventing them from flourishing as they once did. When the energy of a place is out of alignment, even the most breathtaking and picturesque locations can suffer beneath the surface, losing their vibrancy and charm.

We truly hope that Hawai’i can find a solid foundation once again, as it genuinely is a magical and enchanting place filled with rich cultural heritage and natural beauty.

Brian

Helena and Brian and a magical light beam

“By consistently raising spiritual and personal energy, we’ve not only supported individual transformation but also subtly influenced the resonant field around us—a kind of local energetic coherence that science is just beginning to understand. This isn’t theory for us. It’s lived truth. Remember, true prosperity in all forms is built on a foundation of spiritual and energetic integrity”
