Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (00:00.876)
Hi everyone, welcome back to our Monday show. I am so excited for our very special guest here with me today, Oliver Nino, who is a New York Times bestselling author, an entrepreneur, energy healer, spiritual activation expert, and creator of Geo Love Healing, an online company designed to help individuals master their energy and unblock themselves. Such a powerful word, unblock. His new
Oliver Nino (00:25.071)
Yeah.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (00:29.868)
His latest book is called Spiritual Activator, Five Steps to Clearing, Unblocking and Protecting Your Energy to Attract More Love, Joy and Purpose. And his other book, which I also want to talk about today, Do This Before Bed, Simple Five Minute Practices That Will Change Your Life. Oliver, thank you so much for being here with us today.
Oliver Nino (00:50.028)
Kimberly, thank you so much. I’ve been so excited for this.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (00:53.07)
I’m so excited. I love your background, by the way. If you guys are listening to this, please hop on our YouTube channel to see this very cosmic, expansive background behind Oliver. just matches energy wise, what you’re talking about in your books. just, you feel this openness, right?
Oliver Nino (01:13.61)
Yeah, mean, honestly, like to me, I wanted something that’s like, what can I have in the background that’s kind of like gets people’s energy kind of like in a good place. So we, know, chalk in our tech folk or the tech folk behind there. They’re the ones that are making sure everyone’s like visual experience is also amazing, right?
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (01:30.808)
So I love, know, even talking about energy just feels so expansive. And some people may say like, energy healing, what’s that? So I love how in your books you go right into, hey, everything’s energy, right? And we’ve been, we’ve heard so much about quantum physics now and just how this limited Newtonian view of separation has been so outdated for so long and this interconnectivity. In my last book, all it was about the heart and heart coherence and how
all these fields intersect. So can you first tell us a little bit about, you know, energy in general, how energy, mean, such a big question, but just, you know, just top line, why it’s so fundamental that we’re working with energy when we’re talking about self healing, unblocking, expansion, attraction, and also a little bit about how you came into this work in the first place.
Oliver Nino (02:21.142)
Mm.
Oliver Nino (02:25.28)
Yeah. Yeah. to me, the way I look at energy, it’s almost like it’s, it’s oxygen, it’s sunlight, right? Whether people believe in it or not, it’s something that affects us. And to me, I think the unique thing about my background is like, I didn’t start out with, with energy. Actually, I started out as an entrepreneur, very successful in different ventures, you know, and, and, and throughout the process, you know, wanting to better myself, wanting to heal, wanting to have abundance in all areas of life. felt like.
You know, I felt like there was more to life than what I was experiencing, but I couldn’t experience what, you know, what that was. And I didn’t know why it wasn’t for lack of trying out. I tried a lot of different modalities, but you know, some work, some work for the moment, but nothing really got me to where I wanted to go. And that was my first focus is I just wanted a better life. I just wanted to heal from pain, heal from trauma. You know, I just wanted, you know, to like release resentment and anger. wanted to feel good in my body. wanted to, you know, have.
better finances and then better relationships and the whole thing. And what I realized is energy is the one thing that affects us all that nobody talks about. Because to me, funny enough, like you mentioned, you’re in California, my first awakening was, gosh, was 20 years ago, I had a energy healing from a healer in Tabanga Canyon.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (03:51.405)
Hmm
Oliver Nino (03:52.29)
For the very first time, I was very, very skeptical. cause I, and that was before, like right before the secret came out, before energy was even a thing. And I was very skeptical, but I was open-minded. I was like, I’m going to try it once. If you come highly.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (04:02.744)
with absence or hands-on healing.
Oliver Nino (04:05.57)
Um, I went to see him, this person, he was visiting from Australia and he didn’t touch me. He was like, he was close. He had crystals and doing all those different things, but he didn’t, he, he wasn’t hands on like a massage, like a body worker. It was just waving a lot of crystals, making a lot of sounds. And I thought I was like, gosh, one is, is this a, is this a cult? And what, kind of stuff did I sign up for? My mind was very, very negative the entire time. And, and I was skeptical. didn’t see anything. I didn’t feel anything. I was very, very irritated.
And at of the healing, I remember he said, you know what? I released a lot of abundance blocks that you had in your heart. And these abundance blocks were passed on to you generationally. Your dad had it, his dad had it. And that was what was stopping you. And for me, went to one ear, came out the other. I was like, okay, sure. Now I’ve got abundance blocks. Great. you know, not only did I get a healing, I got his Australian fortune cookie too. Tell him you my fortune, right?
so I left there and he goes like, before I left, he was like, the next four to five weeks, you’re going to have a windfall of abundance. And I’m like, okay, you know, walked out, didn’t think anything of it. You know, four to five weeks later, you know, I, opportunity came and I ended up making more in one day than in an entire year. Right. And I was like, what is this energy thing? What’s going on? What, how can it do this? How can it do something that is so impossible in my mind and do it even if I’m
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (05:20.216)
Mmm.
Oliver Nino (05:31.458)
skeptical, right? So to me, that’s my first introduction to it. That’s that got me down the rabbit hole of like, if this is what one session can do, then what do I not know about energy? What else can it do? How else can it change my life? And that started my passion and earlier on obsession and passion, for, energy work. But to me, energy is the thing that affects us all. Like if you think about it, even if you don’t believe in energy, you can all relate to, if you go into a mall, right. And next thing you know, there’s a little bit.
too many people around you or someone’s anxious, we tend to feel it. Like not only in energetic system, sometimes some people is like the nervous system feels it and our body reacts, right?
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (06:09.154)
I feel it very much. I’m like, yes, I understand.
Oliver Nino (06:11.97)
Yeah. And to me, it’s almost, it’s the same thing. I hear people all the time, but I don’t believe in energy. then they, don’t know what it is, but then they’re the type of people where, someone’s, you know, you feel like someone’s staring at you and you look and they are staring at you. can feel it. Like they’re looking at you. Or for me, it’s like those crazy things to where you’re thinking of somebody you haven’t thought of them for a while. Next thing you know, they call, they text, you bump into them and you’re like, what’s going on? Cause to us, there’s this invisible field that connects us all.
And that’s energy. And to me, I think it’s one of the things that’s always been there since the beginning of time. And the more we become aware of it, I think the better we’re able to navigate life itself, you know?
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (06:49.238)
Absolutely. I also love that this was your first experience was going to someone and you were skeptical and then you had this incredible experience and now you’re working with energy all the time and doing healings and having all these events and teaching people and teaching teachers. So do you believe Oliver, we all have this potential to tune in or do you think in this lifetime, some maybe more, depending on what we believe with reincarnation like
Oliver Nino (06:57.12)
Yep.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (07:18.964)
know, able to tune in more and be, I’ll use the word healers.
Oliver Nino (07:24.704)
Yeah. Yeah. It was, it was interesting because like, most healers that you see out there, like, you know, they’re, I’m, I’m, I’m a little bit different in a way to, I’m mostly left brain. I’m mostly analytical. I’m mostly in business. I’m mostly ground. I, kind of figured out all the other stuff before I jumped into it. and what I realized is I met so many people, and maybe because I’m a little bit more biased. but everyone that I’ve met in my experience in the last, in the last 20 years, are people that.
are gifted. The question is, will they step into their gift in this lifetime is another question. Because I’ve met people that are, you know, their lives have spiraled and they’re in a dark place. And when people are around them, they’re like, they feel like they get drained of energy. And when I’m around that person, I’m like, person has a gift, right? But are they willing to explore? Are they willing to heal? Are they willing to step into it is another question. So to me, I’ve come from the belief based on what I’ve seen.
And what I’ve, you what I’ve, what I’ve known is that everybody has it within them. Right. And at certain times, you know, whether it’s a heartbreak, like, you know, you know, you get a diagnosis, like you can do an accident, midlife crisis, like, something happens in your life where we reevaluate and we’re like, you know, things have to be better. And we tap into what we have within the light within sometimes things have to happen for us to tap into it. And sometimes we just seek it out because we feel like life’s
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (08:46.775)
Yes.
Oliver Nino (08:50.9)
not as fulfilling as it can be, right?
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (08:53.174)
Yes. And also, you know, back to your story, for many of us listening, we’re like, that sounds great. I can just go to a guy and he can wave crystals over me and I get all this money. It sounds amazing. But in your books, you also talk about, you know, working with our own self-conscious, subconscious work we have to do, doing the affirmations, doing practices before bed. So there is, you know, free will involved. It’s not that we want to show up at
You know the healers and keep going or
Oliver Nino (09:24.778)
Yeah. I mean, I, I tell people I’m a big believer because this is what I did. To me, I’m glad and thankful that there are people out there that, you know, shine their light and did healing back then. And I was able to experience, but I’m, I’ve been in the very beginning. I was a little bit more of a control freak in a way to like, that’s great. But what if I need healing every week or every other week or every other day? Cause life happens. I don’t want to, you know, be at the mercy of somebody doing a healing. Right. And cause I wanted to.
have the skills. that’s that led me that opened my eyes, show me what was possible. you know, shortly after that, I went deep dive into how can I become my own healer? How can and what I realized is we all have the ability to affect our energetic fields, you know, and, and really cause our bodies, our minds, our emotions and to go into a self healing state to where it rectifies things and we, you know, we feel better, think better, you know, and
and experience good things as a result of it. So to me, I am a big believer that yes, the beginning, yeah, you can have people show you the way, you can have crystals, you can have things that are training wheels, but ultimately I believe that we all have it within and we are our own healers. And that’s a journey that I wish a lot of people took up more.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (10:44.59)
You know, it’s unfolding all the time, right Oliver? I’ll give you an example. When I met my husband and it was this like incredible love and then we got together and there was this closeness and then this trauma came up that wasn’t, I wasn’t aware of in my prior relationships and I hadn’t loved in the same way. And then in front of all this old stuff, was like unfolding and then that comes up, old patterns, right? And then, you know, it’s that awareness and working with that energy.
And I wouldn’t have worked with that energy, you know, 10 years ago. So it’s like, we just keep evolving, I think, as humans. And like you said, modalities and tools to keep supporting ourselves. It’s such an important part of self care.
Oliver Nino (11:24.866)
Yeah, it’s super important because to me, I feel like we’re never done growing. mean, yeah. Can you get to a place to where you’ve got everything that you want in life? And I have people that I’ve helped that you would look at their lives and you’re like, they have everything they want in life. What else could they possibly have? And to me, a lot of times when you have it all and then you’re supported and when you have that bandwidth is at times when the next layer of healing shows up because you’re strong enough to handle it. Because in the past, you’re not
You know, if you haven’t, you don’t have the resources, whether it’s the environment or internal, right. then you’re the toughest stuff won’t, won’t come up to heal because it’s not ready to be healed. The environment’s not there to heal it, or it’s not relevant to be healed. But to me, a lot of my biggest growth happened, you know, happens in relationships, right? It, it, makes us feel safe enough at times to be like, I can now process this stuff. And then when we process it, life gets better, right.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (12:09.005)
Yeah.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (12:18.126)
So when you’re working with energy, Oliver, and I’m getting goosebumps now, is it something you’re just feeling or are you seeing colors or is there any visual component or is it more, is it just a different type of sense?
Oliver Nino (12:25.729)
Mm.
Oliver Nino (12:33.938)
It’s different because like, so I teach people how to do it as well. And it’s very, very different for everybody. I, I, I look at it as people have different ways they process energy. I’m more of a feeler. So when I’m working with somebody, I can try to imagine stuff, but to me, I feel the heat. I feel where the block is. feel, you know, where the resistance, I feel where trauma is stuck. I might have another healer, you know, that I’ve trained and they don’t feel stuff when they’re doing that. They can see it. They can see it vividly. They can see it clearly. I might have other people like when they’re doing.
You know, when they’re running their hands over, you know, they get the information, like it’s just coming to them what it is. Not even, not even seeing, not even feeling it’s snowing. Right. So to me, the way I look at it is we’re all different. some people see, some people feel, some people know, some people smell, some people hear. And we, but just because that’s where you start, doesn’t mean that’s all available to you. To me, that’s, those are like the ones that are awake right now. And as you explore more can actually open up for you.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (13:31.158)
And can you turn it on and off? Or you just start looking at the grocery store and you’re like, this person in line ahead of me is like some big drop.
Oliver Nino (13:33.899)
Yo.
Mm, mm.
Well, to me, honestly, like, I feel like we are all born with it on. If you look at kids, they’re very, you know, in tune, very sensitive, very in tune, very just knowledgeable. And they, they, they’re high vibrational and through life, we actually turn it off. We actually dim our lights to, fit in so that we’re not judged or maybe as a kid, we feel too much and it’s no one gave us a tool. So we shut it off. So we’re not feeling too much. Right. Or at times I’ve seen it to where.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (13:44.045)
Yeah.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (14:06.253)
Yeah.
Oliver Nino (14:08.789)
You you might, you might get rejected or ridiculed for it or your parents or someone’s afraid of it. So you turn it off just to fit in. So there’s a lot of reasons why we turn it. We try to turn it off, but to me, it’s, it’s, it’s running underneath the surface. It always, it’s always there and it’s going to visit us later, later in life to remind us that we have it. But yeah, to me at the very beginning, it’s tough. went to when, when I was the very beginning of my journey.
I would go to grocery stores and I would feel everyone’s energy. would, you know, and I would, I would be affected by it. And I want to protect myself. Right. And the longer I’ve done this, I realized that that was one way of doing it. And at different levels, like, you know, your, your, your vibration becomes your protection. So when you, when you work on yourself in a lot, you’re in a high vibration, you walk into that store. And in the past, if people are negative, they’re affecting you. But when you’re in a high vibration, it kind of flips.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (14:53.602)
Yes.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (15:04.824)
Yes.
Oliver Nino (15:04.916)
You’re affecting people positively because energy goes both ways. If they can drag you down, you can lift them up. So to me, what I’ve realized long-term is working on your vibration, your energy puts you high to where that becomes your best protection. Right.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (15:18.872)
my gosh, it’s so funny, Oliver, when I used to teach yoga, when I first got back from backpacking, I would go in the bathroom before I would teach and I would do these Reiki protection symbols over myself. And then I realized over time, like you’re saying, like when I feel really strong in my energy, I’m not scared to be around people or touch them. I may notice, like you said, like, this person feels a little bit, you know.
Oliver Nino (15:42.562)
Yeah. And it kind of becomes more empowering because at the very beginning, think, you know, a lot of people go through it for like, they, they take on energy and they’re like, Ooh, people can affect me. But then I’ve seen people, I’m like, how is it that there are people that walk into the room and they just lift the whole room up with their energy? And that fascinated me. mean, the first experience that I’ve had was, um, have you heard of, um, The hugging saints. So I know we, got, I got exposed to her in 2005 and I was just,
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (16:05.302)
Yes, on the hug.
Oliver Nino (16:12.662)
baffled to where like, know, in LA, when she landed, I would feel the energy shift and I was, you know, 30, 40 minutes away from the hotel. would feel the energy of the city shift and I would walk into the hotel room, you know, and see people and they were crying before they even saw her because her energy field was so healing. She has done a lot of work that anyone that’s in that field, they experienced the shifts. So to me,
That was one of my first, examples of like, wow, there are people that can actually impact other people by just their presence without even talking to them. Right. So I kind of started seeing two parts of the picture or more than one of just like, wow, they can affect me negatively. was like, Hmm. People can also affect you positively.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (17:01.198)
So back to your practical work and your books. And there’s a part in the book, and it’s in the beginning where you talk about to manifest, to create what we want. There’s also this, I’m paraphrasing here, this detoxing, healing that’s also so important because we’re saying we want something, but our underlying subconscious beliefs are blocking us. And then it’s not really working.
Oliver Nino (17:27.413)
Yes.
Yeah.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (17:30.51)
How would we even get started? What are some of really preliminary ways in which you would tell people, Is the unblocking first? Is the expanding? Is there a practice that does both?
Oliver Nino (17:41.189)
Right. so it’s a good example. Like some people that are like, you know, they might be like, I want to find love, like, you know, I want to find love and I want to just someone to love me and I want them to be healthy and I want them to be a happy relationship. Right. And then maybe one of their, their beliefs, conscious or unconscious is like, everyone’s going to hurt me. They can see me, they can hurt me. Right. Or it could even be like, I want to make more money. But then one of their beliefs that I heard from their parents is like, money’s a root of all evil or you’re lonely at top. Right. So
To me, there’s these conflicting things. And a lot of the times, you you’d be surprised when somebody just sets an intention of like, you know, I don’t know what’s blocking me, right? But I want to release them. Anything that’s blocking me, anything that’s blocking me from more love of abundance, I’m ready to release them. When people set an intention, to me, it’s like the power of prayer. Like, and I’ve seen a lot of stories, you know, of it to where people…
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (18:21.23)
Mm.
Oliver Nino (18:37.346)
pray and they have strong intentions and then somebody has spontaneous healing or this miracle happens and they didn’t do any energy work other than prayer and intention, which to me is a form of energy work. When you’re sending an intention and a prayer, it’s not your illogical mind asking, it’s your soul making the request at the highest level. to me, it gets processed at higher levels. to me,
You know, if you, if you want to change at times, you can just start with the intention of like, I don’t know what the next steps are, but I am open. And when things show up, I’ll take action on it. And you’d be surprised with how many people that that step alone starts this ripple effect of, of transformation and change, right? It doesn’t have to be, you know, you got to do this and this and this and that. I mean, that can come up, but to me, it all starts with the intention and decision that, you know, what I want to, I want my life to be better and I’m open for it to be better.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (19:29.518)
Well, and it sounds so genuine the way you’re putting it, right? It’s sort of like I’m down on my knees. I know something’s not working. I really want my life to shift. It feels so heartfelt.
Oliver Nino (19:39.217)
It’s heartfelt. It’s surrender. It is surrender. is us being like, you know, I’m not going to use my mind to figure it out. I surrender it to a higher power or whatever people believe in. I’m just getting out of the way to let, you know, to be led. And to me, it’s one of the most powerful things I’ve seen cross culture, cross country, cross time is like power of intention and prayer. I mean, of course there’s a lot of other things people can do, but to me, that’s probably one of the most underrated things because it’s so simple.
You know, we think we think we got to do 10 steps, but in reality, like my wife, the same thing to me, you know, when I met her, she was the master of intention and prayer, right? She, you know, in her life, she leaned on that a lot and it moved mountains for her. and to me, it’s one of the things to where people think, it’s step number one to me. can be, like, yeah, it’s that number one, but it can also be the only set that you do. I’ve seen people’s lives change. just that.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (20:32.522)
And do you think, like, you know, we’re talking about heartfelt, like, it’s kind of like superseding the mind, we’re going into the soul, that it’s not necessary for some, maybe for some it can be important, but to kind of delve into all the trauma and like understand or try to understand mentally all the things that happened. And I’m not saying bypass, but if you surrender and say, well, I know there’s all these blocks and I want to change my energy. Can you go that way?
Oliver Nino (20:58.314)
Yeah. I mean, to me, the way I look at it is, what all of our trauma, all the things that have happened to us, it exists in our human story. And I feel like our human story is vibration based. And I feel like, if the way I look at life is there’s different vibrations we’re experiencing all the time. And that’s why you can see people at times they’re unlucky, they’re unlucky, they’re unlucky, they’re unlucky. Next thing you know, the, the something’s about to happen. And then, you know, they’re praying for it, they’re intending it, and then something saves them. Something good happens out of nowhere.
And how do you explain that when you’ve experienced a lot of bad things and then something good happens out of all that to me, because they shifted vibration. So to me, the way I look at it is everything’s vibration based. And right now, could there be a vibration to where somebody has, you know, has never healed from love and, has traumatic life events and they shift their vibration and they their soulmate and it’s the right soulmate? Absolutely. So to me, I think it can change in an instant. Now I’m a big believer that.
Sure. I’m not, I’m not really big on spiritual on bypassing things because I’ve done the hard work, but I’ve also noticed a lot of times when you do the hard work, you bypass certain things, you know, it’s the weirdest thing. Like, you to where you’re like, you’re doing the work and it gets easy and you’re like, why am I bypassing things? Right. And then, and it happens. It’s the weirdest thing, but it’s the, it’s the payoff of doing the hard work. comes to a point where you’re like, you actually, I’ve seen it when you’re used to doing the hard work, you’re anticipating something and then it solves itself. You’re like, wow. Right.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (22:26.592)
Yes, I understand that. For me, a lot of heart work and heart coherence, then it shifts the way I see things and saw things in the past. And there’s more compassionate understanding instead of that gripping. It’s like, this feels like more letting go.
Oliver Nino (22:43.374)
Exactly. So to me, I’m a big believer like at the very beginning, did I dig deep? Sure. Right. Did digging deep always help? Not all the time. Cause a lot of times when I’m digging deep, I might just be repeating pain that never got anywhere. Right. Um, and a lot of the times, like, I don’t believe you have to know it all to heal it all. Because a lot of the times we don’t know it all. Like, what did they say? Um, uh, I saw this, uh, study like several years ago that every given second we’re exposed to like,
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (22:51.277)
Yeah.
Oliver Nino (23:12.738)
20 to 40,000 pieces of information or energy, whether it’s advertising, energy, microwaves, radio waves per second. And our conscious mind only is aware of 40 of that. 40 out of 40,000. So think about it. Our conscious mind is aware of like 0.0001%. And then what we’re aware of, we’re like, we’re going to make a list, we’re going to get it right. And even if you get it right, you don’t have the full picture. And to me, the way I look at it is like,
When you, when you put people under machines that can detect trauma, can see that yes, something in their life could affect have affected them, but it could also be environmental. can be where they’re living, geopathic stress. can be things that we can’t see. can be gestational. It can be trauma that was passed on while you were in the womb. It can be generational. So if it’s gestational, if it’s generational, if it’s a geopathic, if it’s environmental, how are you going to figure it out when you don’t even know that’s what’s affecting you? Right. So to me, it’s like, it’s.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (24:06.21)
Is that.
Oliver Nino (24:09.117)
It gets us far, but I don’t think I’ve never been in. I’ve never been of that belief that we need to know everything to heal everything because we don’t know everything. Right.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (24:18.606)
We throw everything in back to what you said earlier about intention. I saw this video, which I resonated with very much that you did about blessing your food. As a family, we sit down every night, we say grace. I put my hands out like, it just feels very organic to me. And I’m also a Reiki practitioner to just sort of put it over our hands. And that’s why kids like laugh and they kind of make fun of it, but they also accept this is what mama does. And then we go around and say what we’re grateful for.
But I swear Oliver, just brings a totally different frequency to our dinner.
Oliver Nino (24:50.72)
It changed the taste. It changed the taste of your food too. Yeah. I’m a big believer of that. and, it was something that, gosh, 2007 or eight, I started blessing my food and the way, the way I realized it is our food, even if it’s organic, even if it’s, you know, wild caught organic gluten free, dairy free to me, there’s an energetic component of it. Right. It can be the person that was bagging it in the grocery was anxious. The chef that was just preparing it.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (24:53.751)
So can you talk about blessed food as a practice?
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (25:12.95)
Yeah
Oliver Nino (25:20.32)
was going through grief, right? You know, it’s not only what the animal felt, but it could be anywhere along the food chain or the process, energy can affect it. Therefore, when you’re consuming food, you’re consuming the energy and the food. And that’s why I’ve seen a lot of people like, like I’ve seen this so many times. People, somebody is like, you know, sad, they’re crying, they’re making food, all different things. People eat it. And I watch, I watch people like they get into the, they, they, even if they don’t know, they don’t know that happened. can watch the energy transference because it happens.
Right? So to me, that’s what I know. It’s like I’m putting my hand over my food. I’m asking, you know, God, higher power, angels, whatever you believe in to remove all impurities, all toxic fear based negative energy that was, you know, that’s in this food. I ask it to be replaced with love, know, positivity, know, peace. And I ask for everybody who’s handled that food to be blessed at the highest levels. And to me, it’s just been
a routine that I’ve done and it’s a good, I just feel like food tastes better. I feel better and it’s just a good, you know, kind of ritual to do. And I do it in front of kids when we’re in restaurants, get, you know, I, sometimes I get a look from my kids because I’m, I’m, the one with my eyes closed doing this. And then, and then throughout time, they’re like, Hey dad, can you expand your hands? So it’s touching over my food as well. I’m like,
Right? So they come around a little bit, but to me it’s been a very helpful practice.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (26:48.354)
How old are your kids?
Oliver Nino (26:50.178)
Gosh, got a 14 year old, six year old, a two year old, and we have a three month old. we’re, you know, we got a, we got a lot of handfuls.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (26:59.126)
And it doesn’t take long to do that practice, but back to it just becomes something that you incorporate.
Oliver Nino (27:02.294)
No.
Yeah, I mean, it doesn’t take long. mean, it’s like 30 seconds, a minute, like, you know, I mean it’s, I love how you got, do the gratitude because my wife does it as well. Not only in Thanksgiving, like, you know, whenever we have guests over, it’s almost like they look around because they’re like, Oh, it’s feels like Thanksgiving. Cause we’re like, so what are you grateful for? And they’re like, they get caught off guard. Right. And for us, it’s like, you know, um, what are you grateful for? And then we asked the kids as well, what was the, what was, what was the best part about your day? What was your favorite part about your day? What you’re grateful for. Right. And it’s just, I think it’s say.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (27:29.592)
Yeah.
Oliver Nino (27:34.572)
such a good way to train kids at an earlier age because the mind, like we can’t really control what they’re exposed to later down in life. if they’re exposed to negative types of thinking, we can’t control that. But if we’re teaching them earlier on how to think, how to be grateful, my hope is that whenever negativity pops in, then when they’re eating, positivity comes in because it’s been habitual, right?
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (28:02.634)
Yes, and how do you keep your kids more tuned to energy and their natural gifts?
Oliver Nino (28:07.01)
You know what’s so interesting is I’ve been a big believer that kids already have it on. So, so to me is just making sure that we don’t turn them off. Right. And, and what I’ve noticed with our kids is we just have to be the embodiment. So as my wife and I, the more we practice, we’ll be preached. The more we show them what’s possible, like, like
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (28:14.528)
Yes, I agree.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (28:19.992)
Turn it up. Yeah.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (28:34.904)
Yeah.
Oliver Nino (28:36.162)
To me, I never taught my six year old any of my work because to me, I’m like, when you’re older, you know, you’re going to get it. But he’s very, he’s very in tune. When, when my 14 year old is like anxious and jumps in the bed, my six year old is like, no step, step away. I don’t like your energy. It’s affecting my energy. Right. Tells his older brother to do the end. I’m like, Whoa. Right. And then, and it was the cutest thing was a few months ago. I didn’t even know this, but you know, my sisters were telling me because they were visiting.
Do you know your six year old has a time slot? I mean, what do mean? Well, he has a little nook in the house and he’s now doing energy healings and readings and he does like a little head massage and I’m like, sign me up. And he goes in there for five minutes and he’s like, you know, doing this stuff that I never taught him. But to me, I’m like, if I’m living it and then they’re seeing it every single day, I don’t need to teach them because I’m living it, right? So to me,
That’s what we’ve noticed is that once you work on embodying it more than you don’t really have to teach because they see what you do and they kind of, it’s like mirror neurons. They kind of copy that and they see it as an example of how to live life, right?
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (29:51.03)
Yeah, that’s so beautiful. So back to this focus on ourselves and also, you know, really that care, that energy work and, you know, less about teaching and trying to just direct the kids, but it’s radiates out. So I love this, you know, do this before bed. It’s very practical. And can you tell us just a little bit about this really potent period? People are always talking about morning practice, morning practice, the morning practice, but this evening.
Oliver Nino (29:54.882)
Yep.
Oliver Nino (30:02.593)
Yeah.
Oliver Nino (30:14.676)
Yeah. Yeah.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (30:17.294)
this time where we’re sort of just kind of going down towards that deep sleep, we’re probably a little bit more open, a little bit more loose. Tell us about what’s going on energetically and how we can in simple ways affect that energy positively.
Oliver Nino (30:30.69)
So the way looked at it, you’re right. There’s a lot of morning books out there and morning up. I’m not going to discount it’s important, right? You wake up in the morning. If you wake up, you know, anxious or you wake up like, know, they say you work on the wrong side of the bed, like it affects your entire day. But to me, a lot of times people can wake up anxious or feeling like in the wrong side of the bed because of how they, know, the night before and how they slept. Right. So to me, the way I look at it is, you know, during the day where we are absorbing all this energy.
You know, from our environment, from our work, from our job, from our relationship, from your commute, you’re absorbing stuff and you’re piling it on like a sponge. When you get to the end of your day and you go to sleep with that, then really, you’re not really getting to recuperate. You’re not really getting to, know, your body can’t self heal. can’t do, you can’t do all the restoration stuff because now your body’s have on the energetic level, having to deal with all the stuff that you took on that day. Right. So to me, it’s kind of like.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (31:26.647)
Yeah.
Oliver Nino (31:29.514)
I realized, well, first of all, we got to master nighttime because once you get it right and you deal with all that stuff and you release that, whether you’re going for a walk, doing salt bath, doing self care, doing energetic practices, you’re doing like, know, doing, doing, doing something before going into bed, releasing the tension and the stress. go to bed a little bit more of a clean, a clean slate. Now your body can do what needs to do mentally, emotionally, energetically. Right. So to me, I, I, I saw that.
nighttime was super, super impactful because to me, six or eight hours of sleep, mean, people can manifest in their sleep. People can heal in this sleep. People can learn in their sleep. Right. The last thing that I want to do is use my use, use sleep to deal with just clearing what I did throughout the day. Right. And, and it was the least productive way to use sleep. So to me, I was like, you know what, let’s master sleep. And true enough, I’ve done it to where.
If I just get the nighttime right, a lot of times I don’t even need to worry about the daytime when you wake up because you wake up refreshed, clear mind, you know, a clear state is to where you’re like, can, you can run, you can go. Right. So to me, nighttime is super important because again, how you sleep, feel like it, if you don’t deal with it, it’s for the six to eight hours, just, it’s just there percolating in your energetic system and nervous system. Like, you till you wake up and you carry it over to the next day and now it’s a ripple.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (32:55.064)
Yeah. Well, it’s sort of like you don’t want to eat right before bed, right? I’ve always taught to eat at least four hours before bed, ideally, because then your body isn’t actively doing the heavy part of the digestion, secreting all the enzymes in your stomach’s churning because you’re not really in restoration mode. So energetically. So what are some simple things you recommend? know, one thing that’s felt intuitive to me, is taking a shower. As in like the water is like energy, like sloughing off the day. What are some of the things you
Oliver Nino (33:11.296)
Exactly.
Oliver Nino (33:19.099)
Mmm, it’s beatdown.
Oliver Nino (33:23.682)
Yeah. Um, to me, you have to go. I’m a big believer in natural wiring, right? So for some people, they like, like, you know, um, my wife, myself, like, you know, for some people it’s water, right? So that’s, um, um, so some people are more physical. have to walk like I’m, I’m more of like shower bath, or I’m going to walk. I’m going to walk like, you know, um, and get those steps in like, you know, cause when you’re walking, you’re actually moving energy.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (33:35.192)
Yes.
Oliver Nino (33:52.898)
Cause a times like it’s not about, it’s not like it’s bad to absorb energy. Everyone observes energy. just messes with you when there’s too much energy that you absorb and now it becomes a hindrance. So to me, when, know, when, when you wake up in the morning or when you go to sleep at night and you’re, and you’re, and you’re moving your body, whether it’s jumping jacks, you’re dancing, you’re doing yoga, all that excess movement just releases excess energy and allows you to kind of.
Kind of, you know, stabilize again for some it’s that for some it’s, you know, nature, like moonlight, sunlight, you know, and for some it is a being around animals. They love being around animals or some it’s grounding. They’re out in nature, feet on the ground. They’re grounded. a lot of times it’s can be the simple stuff. Like for my wife, she loves to journal, right? She should have a journal or, and, for, and the reason why is to me, when you’re journaling from an energetic standpoint, let’s say you’re feeling.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (34:42.528)
Yes.
Oliver Nino (34:51.19)
You know, anger, are you feeling, you know, some sort of intense emotion when you’re journaling it, it goes from your heart to your hand pen to paper. Now you can breathe and you feel like you’ve released it because the energy is transferred. And again, all that is excess energy transferred. So for some it’s journaling for some it’s alone time. Like my, for some people who are really, really sensitive, like, you know, they want to be alone because when they’re alone, they’re not always taking care of other people’s stuff. They can finally just have a moment of peace.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (35:01.741)
Yes.
Oliver Nino (35:21.12)
And then it’s all it takes to recalibrate them. Right. So to me, it’s whatever works for you. I just think people don’t do it enough. They do it when they’re stressed. They’re doing it when they’re being reactive. They’re doing it, you know, when they know they have to, but to me, we have to do it. Like in a, almost like drinking water, brushing your teeth, getting sunlight. has to be part of our routine.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (35:42.902)
I love that. And also being authentic to yourself, right? Cause some people like to wind down, like my husband will put on his phone, he’ll watch something, he’ll put on his headphones. Whereas for me, I’m so sensitive to lights and sound. We don’t have TVs. Like I don’t want a lot of noise in the house. And that would actually stress me out to watch something before bed.
Oliver Nino (36:04.098)
Yeah. And it’s so different because I’ve seen it as well to where some people, you know, it depends. Some people are like, Oh, you shouldn’t do, um, blue light or to me it’s the rules are different depending on the person for some, for a word, same, like, you know, we try to, you know, a nighttime it’s no, no technologies, red light on like all those different things. But I’ve also seen people that were, if they’re stressed at the end of the day, they’re scrolling and tick tock and they’re laughing. They’re watching Netflix and they’re laughing. And the laughter to me.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (36:15.982)
Right.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (36:29.762)
Right? Yeah.
Oliver Nino (36:33.79)
It’s at least better than whatever emotion they felt before that. So to me, it’s not, it’s like being less judgmental of how it looks and, and, and really looking at what it produces. Right. And, and, and I think to me, it’s like, it’s, it’s why you have some people that you can, they’re playing board games, they’re, they’re, wanting to laugh. They’re wanting to bond with, with their, their, their friends and they’re talking and it’s, you know, and it’s that connection and oxytocin really. So to me, it can look certain ways and the things that will relax me.
might not relax my wife and vice versa. And that’s okay to know that you might have different things.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (37:09.71)
me and my husband is like very different. So this with a spiritual activator that you’re talking about love, joy, purpose. How important do you think it is all over again, back to do we need to dig in deeply? Or is it clearing this love? And I know for myself until you really learn to love yourself, and that wholeness to find that partner, I you’ve mentioned your wife so many times, obviously, you found your soulmate. I feel that with my husband too.
had a lot of bumpy relationships before then, there was a lot of self work. So can you talk a little bit about just on that?
Oliver Nino (37:43.498)
Yeah. I’m, I, I am not a big believer that you have to love yourself. At least the whole saying that you have to love yourself fully to find love. Cause I feel like we fluctuate with that a bit. I think it’s also frequency based. There are things, there are times to where we love ourselves and the love is there and there are times to where life happens and we feel it dip. Right. I think we’re, it’s not, it’s never.
A straight line where we fluctuate as, as, as human beings, emotion wise and frequency wise. Right. So for me, for example, when I went, my wife, I was in the middle of a divorce. I’ve gone through a, this really, like, know, just, just tough 10 years and, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, I was drained and I wasn’t even looking for love to me. I was looking to heal. So I went to Sedona for seven days and my intention was like, you know, God, like in a higher power.
I want to, I want to love myself again. So every single barrier to love that’s blocking me, I want to release it. So I went in there. remember like, you know, I went to the vortex points. even brought, you know, first one of the things that I did was I pulled out a yellow pad and I wrote down a list of all the names and all of all the people that have hurt me that I could remember and all those events that have hurt me. I, wrote it down because I wanted to release it. I realized like,
These probably stuck in my heart. So I want to at least release it. So I wrote it down, all the names down, burn that paper, right? I’m like clear it, cleanse it. and then, and then I wrote down on another piece of paper, everything that I wanted in a relationship, right? Even though I wasn’t ready for when I was like, you know, someone that’s purpose driven, someone, you know, that grows with me, this growth oriented someone, there’s natural attraction, you who I am.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (39:19.331)
Yeah.
Oliver Nino (39:31.98)
They naturally love and who they are. I naturally love without having to be someone else. Like I had all this long list and I, and I kept it with me. And then for the rest of the trip, I was like, you know, I’m just going to date myself here. I’m to do the things that I love to do. Have fun. Cause I wanted to reconnect to what joy felt like. Right. and then within, within, within, within a week after that trip, my wife showed up, I wasn’t even looking for her. She showed up in my field and funny enough, right.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (39:38.894)
No.
Oliver Nino (40:00.044)
She wasn’t looking for one either. She actually was just in a abusive relationship. And there was this one night where they got into a fight and I guess, know, trigger warning, he threw, he threw a bottle of wine at her. missed by about, you know, two inches, didn’t hit her. And she kicked him out. And that night, you know, she kicked him out, got on her knees, prayed to God. And then was like, God, I’m ready for my purpose. Please remove everything and anything in my life that, you know, doesn’t serve and whatever is for the highest good, I’m ready for it.
So we both had the intention and because we both had the intention, we were put in a frequency where we found each other at a higher frequency, but all we did was intention. If you look at it, we haven’t healed because we met and it was amazing, fell in love. We have kids now, but we were healing our love, our mom wounds, dad wounds, our traumas after that still. So to me, I don’t feel like you have to fully have it healed.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (40:41.059)
Beautiful.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (40:46.071)
Yeah.
Oliver Nino (40:58.774)
But when at times when you do it right, you get into a vibration where you raise up and you meet people there. And to me, that’s what happens. You know, that’s, what I’ve seen happens.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (41:05.344)
Yes.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (41:09.176)
Well, that’s, you know, again, that is so beautiful. I’m getting the goosebumps. Me and my husband is like, now all this trauma is coming up. The love is like holding it together to face and to heal. Whereas before it was like, you know, a little bit more surface. So it’s not coming up. that, but that frequency, like you said, on the soul levels, like this person is going to help me, you know.
Oliver Nino (41:28.778)
Yeah. And when there’s a lot, here’s the thing that people don’t realize is love to me is the lubricant of light. And that’s something that my wife says, love is a lubricant of light. And what it is is to me, light is information. Light is data. Light is, you know, the past, like this things that have happened to us. And a lot of times when there’s not enough love to facilitate that we compartmentalize it and we don’t deal with it. But when you’re in a relationship or a situation or an environment where all of a there’s a lot of love.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (41:49.965)
Yeah
Oliver Nino (41:59.154)
then the things that can heal will come up because there’s love to handle it. And you don’t break, you know, your eyeballs actually fully heal it or transmute it, transcend it, right? So to me, love is such an important piece for healing.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (42:15.438)
So many people want this love, right? There’s a lot of people, I have a lot of friends, like constantly scrolling dating apps and feeling more and more frustrated. So obviously you have this whole book for them and what’s a message or what’s something you would say to these? I mean, it’s like so many people are, I don’t know. Sometimes I say to myself, I have so many single friends that are women, like why don’t they ever like match up? Like there’s so many amazing people I know.
Oliver Nino (42:17.482)
Yeah.
Oliver Nino (42:36.834)
Yeah.
Oliver Nino (42:44.034)
You know, I, I’ve seen that so much as well. Like, you know, I mean, lot of your friends, relatives, and they’re like, they’re looking for love. And, and to me, I’ve been a big believer, you know, of. There’s a lot of times like we don’t attract love because of the vibration that we’re on, or we attract the same type. Right. Let’s say for example, when I was growing up, I was, I was, I was severely bullied. So I made a decision as a kid.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (43:04.429)
Yeah.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (43:11.118)
Hmm.
Oliver Nino (43:13.538)
to play it safe, to close my heart, to not shine my light, to not be seen. And little did I know all those decisions affected my energetic field and grow. And from then I attracted business and relationships that were the same. were their energy was dancing with my energy because it, it, there was a, you it matched. So I would attract people that would either, you know, had the same trauma or I would attract people that would make me feel the same way.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (43:21.891)
Yeah
Oliver Nino (43:43.062)
because that’s the energy that I was in. So to me, when I did the work, it changed my energy output. Therefore the people that I attracted were different. Right? So I think one way of doing it is that, is actually doing the work. when I say do the work, I’m not a big believer of healing is a lifelong sentence. Cause we will think about healing and you think, people they’re like, I’ve been trying to heal for 10, 20, 30, 40 years. Well, to me, you’re, you’re, I don’t believe that that’s
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (43:49.536)
Hmm. Hmm.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (44:06.499)
Thank
Oliver Nino (44:11.798)
That’s the case. feel like we do that because we never really get to the root of things. Therefore it takes long or forever. But to me, you know, once you get it right, healing is instant. Right. So when you get to the root deep enough, it shifts right away. It’s just that at times we never get there. So we think it’s lifelong thing. So to me, it’s almost like when you immerse yourself in healing and you do it right and you have the right intention, it can be fast. And then, and then, and then there’s life beyond healing.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (44:21.794)
Mmm.
Oliver Nino (44:40.842)
Now you’re thriving, now you’re growing, now you’re figuring out who you are in this new identity. And to me, that’s when life begins, right? So to me, that’s one of my biggest, biggest ahas when I was going through it is healing is just a phase. It’s not a lifelong sentence.
Solluna By Kimberly Snyder (44:58.005)
Mm-hmm. It reminds me of this quote from Paramahansa Yogananda. And I’m paraphrasing, said, you know, a cave can be in darkness for a hundred years, but shine the light. And it’s as if the darkness never was. It’s like, beautiful. Well, Oliver, I could talk to you forever. It’s such a pleasure hearing your wisdom and your perspective. And you have these wonderful books out for available for everyone that wants to learn more about.

Thank you so much for having me. It’s been long due, but well worth it. Thank you.

Yes, thank you so much. And thank you everyone so much for tuning into our conversation. Once again, direct links to Oliver’s books and his work are going to be at mysaloonah.com. I will also see you on socials at underscore Kimberly Snyder. We’ll be back here next week for our next interview. Till then, take great care of yourselves and sending you all so much love.
