Who is Jane Bell?

In 1977 Jane Bell began a path of exploring consciousness through meditation.

Spending hours stilling the mind and transcending, Jane experienced profound insights and changes that inspired her to integrate her path and her work. In 1989 she quit her corporate job and offered her life to Sprit. While it took some time for the form of her next steps to crystallize, she learned that the constant process of surrendering to the Divine brought new opportunities for transformation.

In 1992 she had a psychic reading with David Groode, a well-known Bay Area intuitive. At the time, she and her husband were in dire financial straits as a result of the shifting economy. It seemed that they were on a crash course when David told her that she was to go to Egypt and work with Nicki Scully of Shamanic Journeys. Not knowing Nicki and never having wanted to go to Egypt, something in her knew it was true. A week after the reading, she called her best friend in London to wish her a happy birthday. During the conversation she mentioned the reading and the trip to Egypt, and without a hesitation the money was offered. The gift transformed Jane’s life as she made the first of 25 trips to Egypt over14 years. During that trip, she experienced an epiphany at Luxor Temple that opened a gateway to Divine Knowledge, which began a period of inquiry into the realms of the Egyptian Mysteries studying alchemical healing and the pantheon of Egypt.

Jane opened her home in 1994 as a healing center committing her life to serving Spirit. She wrote 50 letters to friends inviting them to pray, meditate, and offer healing, but realized that she would do the work even if no one came. The Healing Circle was held twice a month for 4 years and while it began with a few, it ended with sometimes 50 people coming to build this sacred community. Out of this group grew the Egyptian travelers that journeyed with Jane and Nicki to Egypt.
In 1995 Bobbie Holloway participated in one of those tours. It was clear from the start that she and Jane had a special destiny with Bobbie being a mainstay in the Egyptian work. As their relationship deepened, they saw new ways and possibilities to share their knowledge of Spirit, healing and sacred travel. From this union Presence of Heart began.

But like most lives nothing is ever linear or planned out. Always seeking new ways to discover Truth, Jane learned about a powerful process called Focusing. It was a way to listen to the body and its source of wisdom for personal growth and self-inquiry.. She began to study the process after having a remarkable session with her teacher and now colleague Ann Weiser Cornell. In 1996 Jane became a Focusing Trainer offering private sessions as well as classes. She realized that unless someone’s body is open for transformation and available for healing, most healing techniques will only have a temporary effect. It greatly impacted the way she worked with people. After teaching many classes over four years, she developed a student base that inspired her to become a Certifying Coordinator of Focusing Trainers in 2000.

The Focusing work lead to developing a body of work on Manifestation. Since 1996 countless students and clients have worked with Jane learning how to use clarity, the wisdom of their bodies and metaphysical principles to bring their lives into alignment with their destinies. People have come to her for relationships, careers, money and removing whatever obstacles and patterns that block their way in receiving the gifts of this life.

In 1997 in Egypt Jane went through a dark night of the Soul. The depth of the journey brought her to her spiritual teacher and guide Leslie Temple Thurston of Corelight. She has been studying and working with Leslie for five years now clearing her own blocks and egoic programs towards the path of Self-Realization. In August of 1999 Jane took Leslie and 10 others into the Great Pyramid for a meditation and healing of the planet during the solar eclipse. Leslie then took Jane and her husband Gary to South Africa, Leslie’s home country, where they purchased property in the Blyde River Canyon. Inspired by South Africa, Jane and Gary have built a home there with others from Corelight creating a conscious community. Called by the cry of AIDS orphans, Leslie founded Seeds of Light, a project that supports five AIDS orphanages and programs in South Africa. As a result Jane and Gary have sponsored one of the children and are dedicated to easing the pain of this world tragedy.

In 2003 Jane began her studies with Faisal Muqqadam and the Diamond Heart work expanding her map of consciousness for herself and her clients. She is also working with Lama Palden, the first ordained woman Tibetan Buddhist lama in the United States. Lama Palden will be joining Jane and Mira to Egypt in 2007.
Bobbie was taken ill in 2004 and Mira Sophia, who accompanied Jane to Egypt in 1999 is now leading those sacred journeys with her. Mira’s background and passion for Egypt was a perfect fit for the growth of Presence of Heart.

Jane believes that traveling to sacred sites and working with people not only transforms your life, but transforms world consciousness. She is available for Focusing and manifesting sessions, spiritual counseling and healing, workshops, rituals and ceremonies as a minister in the Universal Brotherhood Movement, Inc.
