About Light news​

How Light News Institute facilitates your inner growth and wellness

Drawing from Dr. Richard Jelusich’s decades of experience he blends ancient wisdom with grounded insight to support personal transformation and holistic living.

About Light News

Inside an Integrative Chakra Therapy® Session

Sessions with Dr. Jelusich, or one of our practitioners or students, always include an intuitive observation of your chakra system and energetic anatomy, facilitation of the energetic healing you are already doing and seeking to do, and a verbal assessment at the end. We endeavour to keep you empowered on your healing path and spiritual journey. We never manipulate your energy but rather facilitate the work you came to do. We act as a channel for Divine energy to assist you to heal yourself!

The verbal assessment will always tell you:
-What we intuited was going on with you at a chakra and energetic level
-What shifted and changed during the session
-What you can do about it, going forward and
-Some self empowering tools you can do to support you on your healing journey.

The free mini sessions we offer on Monday nights usually run about 15 – 20 minutes per person. Full sessions booked with Dr. Jelusich, or a certified practitioner, generally are a full hour and are recorded for your future reference.

Monday Night Chakra Healing and Discourse

Be Inspired, Receive Healing, Create Community

Chakras 101: The Brow Chakra (Ajna)

(For much deeper information and guidance, read “Eye of the Lotus: Psychology of the Chakras”). These examinations of the chakras are the results of my 30-plus years of research and spiritual consultations. The brow chakra is located on the forehead, just between and above the eyes. It is the sixth chakra counting up from the root in the spine and is often called the “third eye” chakra. The Sanskrit word for the brow chakra is “Ajna” and means command. When I wrote about my interpretations of the brow chakra in Eye of the Lotus, I did not read any other...

Are You Using your CPS to Find Your Way?

Most people today know what “GPS” is: a network of linked satellites that relay your position. My reference to “CPS = Chakra Positioning System” is an attempt at humor to mean that as you recognize the power you already have in your chakras, you’ll know your position in life much better! Chakras are seven centers of consciousness documented for thousands of years. They enable us to exist physically in this dimension, experiencing time and space, while affecting the four archetypes of “The Whole Human Being”: mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional. The Dominant Chakra TheorySince the early 1990s, I have studied...

The Benefits of Worry

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to the benefits of worry and have decided to make a list: As you can see, there aren’t any benefits. Worry is almost exclusively about projecting an event that has not yet happened into the future, taking you away from the present moment. Mindfulness and PresenceThe Rinpoches (advanced lamas) say: “Worrying about the future is like fishing in a dry gulch.” There is nothing to catch. Focusing entirely on the task at hand—Mindfulness—is the state where worry has little to no effect. The Power of ChoiceOne of the first things we forget in...

Integrative Chakra Therapy®

Integrative Chakra Therapy® (ICT) is recognized as a powerful form of energy medicine. It works on the level of ‘chakra energy,’ regarded as “PSI” energy, which exists beyond time and space. Typically, the PSI energy in the chakras is converted to Qi or prana energy for the body’s physical use. Core ConceptsDominant Chakra Theory: Dr. Jelusich’s research led to the observation that one particular chakra is often “dominant,” affecting a person’s intuitive abilities and how they perceive and react to reality. This theory is detailed in his books Eye of the Lotus and I Can Relate. Conduits of Consciousness: Chakras...

Understanding “Peak Performance

Every generation has its buzzwords, and one that is prevalent today is “peak performance.” This term often appears in the context of wellness centers, where it is used as an incentive for individuals to strive for their best. As the owner of a wellness center in San Diego, my interpretation of peak performance extends beyond just the body and mind—it encompasses the spirit as well. This spiritual dimension is often the most elusive aspect of the holistic approach to wellness, which incorporates the components of “body-mind-spirit.” The spiritual aspect holds a deeply personal connection for each individual, as it is...

Dr. Jelusich, I am blessed to have been able to cross your path. Meeting you has been a true experience for me. After our private session I feel like a new women. I have been “read” plenty in my past but none compare to the experience of your reading. This is the first time in my life that I have ever physically released the negative that I had been holding within. All of the things that you said to me were right on track and who I am, as well as who I am to be, and mostly what I stand for. You spoke highly of my values on truth, which touched my heart. I could not have said it better myself. You are a blessing and I truly thank you for making time for me. I also thank the Gods for Janice because without her our paths may have never crossed. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you so very much. You will forever be in my prayers. Continued Blessings,

years ago. I asked you if you thought I would be able to have a child with my husband who is HIV+. At that time, I was told by the medical world I would not be able to conceive with my husband’s sperm as the risk of infection was too great. I tried using donor sperm and had two very early miscarriages. I was devastated. You told me that I would be able to have a baby with my husband's sperm and at the time I was so devastated that I did not believe you. Well, one year ago my husband and I were accepted into a program in Boston that helps couples in our situation. In August of 2001 my husband and I did in-vitro fertilization using my husband’s individual sperm cells that tested negative for HIV. I am now 7 months pregnant, with my husband’s baby! I am due in May and we are having a healthy baby boy. All tests have come back normal and I am completely beside myself with joy. I thought you would want to know that your prediction was right. Today, I am a little less skeptical about what a miracle is, and that what I see at any given moment may not be as it really is. I hope to meet you again someday. All the Best, Name withheld upon request

I am finally back from Arizona and didn't want to let too much time pass before I thanked you for the exceptionally nice flower reading evening. All the comments coming to me were full of praise for you & your work. My sister in particular thought that the readings you did for her adult children were quite accurate and thought they would be pleased as well. The laser show was a wonderful surprise too! One thing I wanted to comment on--you are very knowledgeable and skillful in your presentations! We all see the impact your work has on our daily lives and think it is much more than special....more like influential with a sensitive touch! The readings give us permission to heal. Something that not a lot of others will openly admit they want for the people in their lives. I think the "fear of loss" plays a large role in their resistance..... So, there you have it -- another successful evening -- many happy & peaceful people healing in your service.

“The integration of breathwork and meditation guided by Dr. J allowed me to explore my inner self in ways I never thought possible. I left with a renewed sense of clarity.”

5/5

I attended my first Flower Reading session with you. I was just awed at how you picked up on my family background, and the advice you had for me. But, what really got my attention was the way you did pick up on my health problems, and preceded to do a healing. My point is that I viewed the healing for a problem I have lived with for years, however, within a month’s time it became a very serious problem with my female organs, which had to be removed with the fear of “Cancer.” Now Rick and readers, I am not saying that that healing removed the Cancer, but with all the tumors that were found, and the state of my ovaries, well, it hit me like a ton of bricks as to what you truly saw and tried so hard to heal. I just want to take a few lines to let you and yours know how I do believe you did help me Thank you and God bless, Sincerely,

Up until the time I called Dr. Jelusich for a life reading, my life had been, at best, mediocre, and at worst, miserable. At the time I called him, I was a live-in, primary caregiver for a terminally ill woman. I was feeling totally drained, emotionally, physically and mentally, and didn’t know which way to go with my life. I won’t get into the personal things he told me, but, the way he read me was nothing short of mind-boggling: and the characteristic I appreciated about him the most was that he had the courage to tell me the Truth about areas in my Life where I needed to work. This was exactly what I wanted from him. As I told Dr. Jelusich, I didn’t want someone who was going to flatter and B.S. me. He laid it on the line, and it has been the most empowering experience I have had in my life. I have a strong metaphysical background -- studying astrology, numerology, Runes, card reading, anything to help me understand my life better. I have studied under numerous disciplines and teachers, and I realize that you have to be ready to receive before you can receive anything. To make a long story short, Dr. Jelusich has set me on my path to fulfillment, and I have given up procrastinating. I came to the conclusion some time ago that procrastination was caused from my fear of the unknown, but, now that I know all I have to do is set my intent – it happens. I AM A CREATOR. My eternal gratitude. Love and Light,
