Energy Return to Sender: A Spiritual Law in Action
Brian Collins Life in Synergy® co-owner and retired healer, speaks of the karma energy boomerang.
You cant blow out the candles on the karma cake by putting your head in the icing.
Energy returning to its source often begins subtly.
Consider the closure of a business not due to market conditions, but because its foundational energy
was rooted in imbalance, deception, or betrayal. This is not simply metaphor or spiritual allegory. It is the tangible, measurable consequence of energetic misalignment. The second stage of this return process manifests more personally. The individual who projected that imbalance begins to experience karmic feedback. It may arise as relationship discord, health complications, or challenges involving their children or family structure. The principle remains consistent: energetic output always returns to the originator—sometimes exponentially.
Spiritual energy is not “woo-woo,” nor is it wishful thinking wrapped in mysticism. It is real. It is functional. And it carries direct consequences—especially when one’s personal energetic distortions are introduced into the larger field of collective peace.
And here lies the deeper truth:
The karmic consequences rarely stem from the externalized target of jealousy, manipulation, or deceit. Instead, they originate from the sender's own internal fractures—often concealed beneath layers of self-justification and ego.
A example: years ago, I mentored for years a very talented former student of mine named Michael Devin, bassist for 80’s Metal Gods Whitesnake and other varied rock and rolling bands. One of our countless conversations on consciousness, energetic ascension, and the dismantling of inherited energetic limitations later inspired him to write a song called Wild Buffalo (view and rock out below). A central lyric from that song—“You are one with everything, there’s no place to run”—summarizes the core teaching I often share with all my students.
It’s profound.
But it’s not easily digested by many.
Why?
Because negative energy is seductive.
It obscures clarity and convinces the subconscious mind that it “already knows.” And in that false certainty, the energy that needs to be dissolved becomes more deeply entrenched. The universe is always offering reflections of the self. Yet most people resist those reflections. Why? Because to truly confront the self—to truly take responsibility—is difficult. That spiritual mirror can be unsettling. And so, rather than face it, many allow karmic patterns to continue unchecked, unconsciously impacting their surroundings and loved ones.
Blame then pops up and the makers of pain energy then in their own spiral, will accuse the very people that they have caused agony to as being the source of any negative issues that they are experiencing, completely blind to the understanding that they themselves have written into the book of karma by being the initiate of their own suffering by their own actions.
Consider this: What if one denies the existence of God even after experiencing the absolute truth in real time over and over again—only to later find themselves living in an apartment overlooking a church? Or imagine making a business deal sealed with a handshake, only to watch the entire company then unravel because that handshake carried the vibration of untruth?
These are not coincidences.
Karma, once activated, will persist—relentlessly reflecting the suffering it once inflicted, returning it to the sender for reckoning until resolution is made.
This is karmic law, not performed by any individual other than the senders own actions, thoughts and deeds returning home.
And still, the truth remains:
“You are one with everything. There’s no place to run.”

Harnessing the Hidden Stress: How Life in Synergy Helps You Thrive in Sensitive Times
Hidden stress can quietly sabotage your well-being. Boston’s Multi Award winning wellness coach Helena Collins speaks on how living in synergy helps you recognize, channel, and thrive through times of emotional sensitivity and stress.
In early July of 2025, it’s impossible to ignore the undercurrent of global anxiety—from digital burnout, heat waves, and economic shifts to anxiety about climate, geopolitics, and the movement of fast-paced technology.
While these concerns swirl through headlines and feeds, one larger issue lurks behind the scenes: the energetic toll on our nervous systems.
At Life in Synergy, we’ve witnessed a quiet yet powerful crisis in our community. It’s not just more stress—it’s a deeper depletion of mental clarity, emotional resilience, and spiritual connection. People are calling this nervous system fatigue born from burnout—but real transformation requires energetic recalibration, not another quick fix.
Here’s why it matters—and how our work helps you across every layer:
🔹 The Real Cost of Constant Alertness
Living in a high-alert, high-demand world rewires your nervous system. When you’re forced to stay locked in fight/flight—even subconsciously—your body, mind, and spirit begin to fray:
Your breath becomes shallow, your heart rate higher, your clarity thinner
Emotions turn volatile or flat
Deeper fatigue persists even when you rest
Guilt or worry about needing help becomes an energetic weight
All of this occurs before you realize how far you’ve drifted from internal alignment.
🔹 How Life in Synergy Recalibrates Your Energy
The core of what we offer—the Apex Life in Synergy Program and Helena’s Synergistic Fitness Method®—is structured to realign your energy systems from the inside out.
Energetic Recalibration: We use targeted meditation, breath, and energetic frequency techniques to dissolve subconscious stress patterns before they manifest in your day.
Movement with Intention: Helena’s Synergistic Fitness Method® isn’t workouts. It’s a 21st century energetic exercise—designed to release tension, strengthen alignment, and create systemic coherence between mind, body, and spirit.
Apex Life in Synergy Neural Resilience Training: Through guided neuro-energetic exercises, you regain control over your attention, calm fluctuating moods, and rebuild intuitive integrity.
Sustainable Integration: We empower you with daily energetic practices that transform how you meet challenges, whether digital overload, family dynamics, or global headlines.
This isn’t just coping. It’s energetic sovereignty.
🔹 Why It Works in 2025 and beyond
We shuttered our landmark studio on 9 Newbury Street in Boston years back—the amazing location where we helped thousands breakthrough in real-time—and now deliver this work globally online to you here on our website. What we discovered in that sacred ( that we made sacred) 5th floor container is now embedded online: pressure meets release, cemented structure meets flow, movement meets energy renewal. Because in a stressed world, alignment isn’t optional—it’s essential.
You can’t just think your way through stress. You have to realign your system—electronically, emotionally, anatomically.
🔹 The Deeper Invitation
Your nervous system isn’t just feeling burnout. It’s feeling misaligned with who you were born to be.
That intuitive voice that once guided you is now muted—not because it isn’t there, but because the system that holds it has been hijacked. Our work clears the interference so your intuitive clarity can return, along with your breath, power, and purpose.

Your nervous system isn’t your enemy.
It’s your pathway home.
The In your face Boston Healer who flipped the script: A Chicken and a Hug in Taipei
What does a chicken and a hug have to do with healing? Discover how an in your face Boston Irish healer defied expectations and sparked transformation through simplicity 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.
If you feel the call to experience this level of transformation in your life, it’s time to pick up and answer,
as your world can’t be put on hold any longer.

Why Coming in 33rd Made Perfect Sense for Us — And What It Means Spiritually.
Coming in 33rd wasn’t a failure—it was a moment of clarity. Discover why this unexpected ranking aligned with our spiritual journey and how the number 33 holds deeper meaning. Learn how to unlock a Life in Synergy®
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.

When the Music Stops: Finding Your Inner Rhythm in a Post-Ozzy World
Ozzy Osbourne took what he says is his final bow—seated on a bat-winged throne, flanked by Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, and an arena of 40,000 fans howling “Paranoid” into the night. theguardian.com
For many of us, that moment felt like the house lights flipping on after a decades-long concert. The Godfather of Metal’s retirement closes a cultural chapter that shaped the soundtrack of rebellion, catharsis, and late-night highway drives. Yet the bigger story isn’t Ozzy’s curtain call—it’s how we metabolize the end of any defining era.

The Shockwave of Change — Why Endings Rattle Our Energy Field
Icons operate like collective tuning forks: they synchronize millions of nervous systems to a shared frequency. When the fork goes silent, the nervous system scrambles for a new keynote. Psychology calls this disturbance an identity crisis—a period where familiar mirrors vanish and we’re asked, “Who am I without that external reference?” en.wikipedia.org
Energetically, that gap can feel like static in the aura: sleepless nights, nostalgia loops, or the dull ache of something missing. At Life in Synergy, we see these symptoms every time a client retires, relocates, or watches a childhood hero step offstage. The mind frames it as loss; the spirit registers it as vacancy waiting to be filled.
Three Spiritual Truths for Navigating Era Shifts
Energy Never Dies—It Transmutes.
Ozzy’s music won’t evaporate; it migrates from stadium speakers to the deep archives of collective memory. Likewise, the potent currents you felt in those riffs are still available—now as raw material for your own evolution.Void ≠ Vacuum.
A perceived “hole” in culture is an invitation to create. Nature abhors energetic emptiness; conscious intention decides what rushes in next. Will it be anxiety—or inspired action?Resistance Masquerades as Logic.
Doubt often whispers, “The good days are over.” But as Helena Collins reminds us, “Doubt is not reality—it is resistance in disguise.” When we clear that resistance, clarity floods back.
Alchemizing Nostalgia into Momentum
Try this micro-practice from the Apex Life in Synergy® Program:
Cue a Classic. Play a song that once defined you.
Breathe Low & Slow. On each exhale, picture the sound waves stripping away outdated self-images.
Ask the Upgrade Question: What part of me is ready to step into the spotlight now?
Anchor the Answer. Move—yes, literally move—so the insight imprints into muscle memory. (Our Synergistic Fitness Method® pairs perfectly here.)
Five minutes.
Zero elaborate rituals.
= shift.
Where Do We Go After the Final Encore?
If Ozzy’s retirement stirs that “now what?” ache, consider it proof you’re alive, awake, and still wired for growth. The real encore isn’t on a stage in Birmingham; it’s in the daily choices you make to cleanse stagnant energy, amplify purpose, and rewrite your personal setlist.
That’s exactly why we built the Apex Life in Synergy® Program: to guide you through life’s genre changes with spiritual science, breath-mapped movement, and frequency-based energetic tools. Whether you’re mourning the end of heavy-metal Wednesdays or facing a career sunset of your own, our online sessions turn emotional feedback into forward momentum.
The world will keep changing its soundtrack. The question is—will you keep rocking, or will you stay stuck in the silence between tracks?

PS
One of the founders of Life in Synergy® was a Monk on stage with Ozzy in 1984 at the Boston Garden show for the journey to the center of Eternity Song above, while this clip isnt at the Garden show, but you get the drift…….just a FYI….and PS on the PS? Years later he (Brian) would be hanging out with the drummer Tommy Aldridge ( in the video above) after he (Tommy) played at a Whitesnake show in Boston (Longggg story) ……energy is wild.
