Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Gabriel Ray. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Gabriel, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?
Where do I get my resilience from? It’s a question that strikes at the very core of my being, inviting me to reflect on the journey that has shaped me into the person I am today. At the heart of my resilience lies an unwavering desire to serve, a deep-seated knowing that my purpose on this Earth is to heal and uplift others. This calling has been with me from my earliest days, even as I navigated the challenges and adversities that life placed before me.
My journey, marked by trials as profound as they were transformative, has been a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit. From the tender age when my mother lay ensnared in the unyielding grip of a coma for twelve long years, to the haunting shadows of molestation, bullying, and the cruel lash of emotional and physical abuse, I have walked through the crucible of suffering. Yet, amidst the tempest, there burned within me a flame of purpose, a knowing that my struggles were not just my own but a crucible through which the alchemy of service would be forged.
In the face of these trials, I could have easily succumbed to despair, allowing my circumstances to dictate my reality. Yet, deep within my soul, I knew that I was fighting not just for myself, but for something greater. I was fighting to be of service, to touch the lives of others in a way that would alleviate their suffering and help them avoid the pain I had endured. This knowing, this unwavering commitment to a purpose beyond myself, has been the bedrock of my resilience.
In the depths of despair, when the weight of self-doubt threatened to suffocate the spark within, I clung to the conviction that a single soul, ignited by love and driven by a noble cause, possesses the power to illuminate the darkest corners of existence. Why navigate a world if not to leave its shores a bit brighter, a bit kinder, than when first we embarked upon its shores?
My path has been strewn with thorns of low self-worth, the gnarled branches of social anxiety, and the labyrinthine maze of emotional and mental turmoil. Yet, through the grace of love – love for humanity, love for the sacred journey of healing – I found the strength to press onward. For if my own wounds could serve as a balm for others if my journey through the crucible of pain could illuminate a path to wholeness for those who tread behind me, then every trial became a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
As I navigated the world, pursuing a diverse range of interests from economics and opera to finance and music, I always felt the presence of a divine energy coursing through my hands. It was a mystical force, a gift that I knew was meant to be shared with the world. The discovery of my Ashkenazi Jewish heritage served as a catalyst for my spiritual awakening, setting me on a path of self-discovery and transformation that would lead me to the very heart of my being.
Embarking on a soul-searching journey through South America, I immersed myself in the wisdom of shamans, the power of meditation, and the search for the divine. It was in this sacred space, far from the familiar trappings of my previous life, that I uncovered my true calling: to heal and serve humanity with the divine energy that had always been a part of me.
Returning to the United States, I dedicated myself to mastering the art and science of healing, delving into a multitude of modalities and traditions, from Reiki and Pranic healing to Jewish Tikkune and Egyptian healing. My insatiable curiosity and passion for the divine fueled my journey, propelling me towards a level of mastery that would allow me to touch the lives of countless others.
The creation of Aura Gods, my sanctuary of healing and transformation in the heart of Los Angeles, stands as a testament to my resilience and my unwavering commitment to service. Here, surrounded by a family of healers and professionals united in their desire to alleviate suffering, I strive to embody the essence of love and compassion.
My resilience, then, is a gift born of this love – a love that transcends the boundaries of self and embraces the entirety of the human experience. It is a resilience that allows me to transmute pain into compassion, to alchemize struggle into strength, and to serve as a beacon of hope for all those who cross my path.
As I continue on this journey of healing and transformation, I am reminded that my story is not just my own, but a part of the greater narrative of the human experience. My journey, woven with the colors of resilience, love, and service, serves as an inspiration to myself and others, a reminder of the boundless potential that lies within the human spirit.
I am committed to expressing the beauty, the strength, and the love that is my true nature, and to allowing my journey to serve as a guiding light for all those who seek to embrace their own divine purpose. This is the source of my resilience, the unwavering foundation upon which I stand as I navigate the path of healing and transformation.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
At the heart of my life’s work lies Aura Gods, a sanctuary of healing and transformation nestled in the vibrant embrace of Los Angeles.

Recently, I had the privilege of collaborating with Lincoln and the remarkable woman-led marketing agency, KRO, in delivering holistic healing experiences. These immersive experiences included Reiki, sound healing, and enlightening tarot spreads. It was an extraordinary opportunity to facilitate transformative encounters, traveling across the United States from Chicago to Miami, Dallas, and back to our beloved Los Angeles. Witnessing companies pivot towards prioritizing the well-being of their employees and clients was truly inspiring.
What truly ignites my passion in this work is witnessing the profound metamorphoses that unfold before my eyes each day. To witness someone stepping into their power, shedding the shackles of pain and limitation, and blossoming into their authentic, luminous self – it’s an experience beyond compare. It’s an honor to accompany individuals on these sacred journeys, holding space for the emergence of the human spirit, and celebrating the resilience and magnificence inherent in each of us.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Reflecting upon the winding path of my journey, three qualities stand out as profoundly impactful: resilience, empathy, and a thirst for knowledge.
Resilience, like a sturdy vessel navigating stormy seas, has been my steadfast companion through life’s trials and tribulations. It’s the unwavering resolve to rise above adversity, to weather the storms with grace and courage, and emerge stronger on the other side. My advice to those embarking on their own journey is to cultivate resilience as a sacred seed within the garden of your soul. Nurture it with self-love, self-care, and unwavering faith in your inner strength. Remember, it’s not about avoiding challenges but about embracing them as opportunities for growth and transformation.
Empathy, the ability to walk in another’s shoes and truly understand their journey, has been instrumental in my work as a healer and guide. It’s the gentle art of listening with an open heart, of holding space for another’s pain, and offering compassion without judgment. To those beginning their journey, I urge you to cultivate empathy as a cornerstone of your being. Practice active listening, seek to understand rather than to be understood, and approach every interaction with kindness and empathy. For it’s through empathy that we forge deep connections and create meaningful change in the world.
A thirst for knowledge, an insatiable curiosity that drives one to explore the depths of existence, has been the guiding star illuminating my path. It’s the relentless pursuit of wisdom, the hunger to uncover hidden truths, and the willingness to embrace new ideas and perspectives. My advice to aspiring seekers is to cultivate a lifelong love affair with learning. Immerse yourself in books, seek out mentors and teachers who inspire you, and never shy away from venturing into the unknown. Remember, knowledge is not just power, but a catalyst for personal and spiritual growth.
As you embark on your journey, remember that it’s not about reaching a destination but about embracing the beauty and wisdom of the journey itself. Trust in the inherent wisdom of your soul, and know that every step you take, every challenge you face, is an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Stay resilient, cultivate empathy, and never cease your quest for knowledge. For in doing so, you’ll not only illuminate your own path but inspire others to embark on their own journey of transformation and awakening.
