Meet Kevin Mcevoy

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Kevin Mcevoy. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Kevin, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?

Finding my purpose took much of my healing journey to really discover, and honestly, it’s still a work in progress. As I continue to grow and evolve, I’m sure the picture of what my purpose is will become more clear.

In order to understand how I found my purpose, I need to bring you back to the beginning of my healing journey back in 2008 and show you how I came to be the being I am today. I consider my healing journey having begun when I was graduating high school. Back then, I suffered from a number of heavy emotions and experiences. I had overwhelming amounts of social anxiety. I was depressed. I felt alone. I had suicidal thoughts floating around in my head. It was difficult for me to make friends or even talk to people without experiencing panic attacks or being overcome with fear. I struggled to look people in the eyes or their face. Many of the friends I had at that time made me their target. I was bullied and tried my best to laugh with them. I was looked down upon and people made fun of me. I desperately wanted to be seen as an equal and receive love and it never happened. I was always looked down upon. As I got older I wanted a girlfriend. Often my experience with women as a teenager and young adult was either a response of disgust, immediate rejection, or any number of rejections, often being harsh.

I also went through certain experiences growing up that caused many different pains. To try to escape from the pain, I often lost myself in toys and playing in my imagination as an escape. Playing out all these scenarios as a kid brought me joy because my life had very little. One of the sources of pain I experienced was from a sexual abuse from a female figure in my life as a 3 year old. It was so bad that it got locked away in my memories for years. Only through years and years of healing and meditation work did I finally remember. I experienced a lot of emotional dumping from certain people in my life and this was very difficult to move through as a kid. A lot of the emotional dumping was also met with self attacks by these people whenever I tried to argue with them and because of this it made it difficult to speak my mind or express myself. I remained quiet and closed off as a result of this. Through these difficult challenges, I learned how to hold space for very intense emotional outbursts and while I didn’t see it this way at the time, I see it as a gift now to be able to do that for others in my practices. The key is to remain non-reactive. This is difficult if you are empathic like me. You must practice meditation more to begin to overcome this.

I was disciplined to practice a lot of musical instruments growing up from many authority figures and peers in my life because there was a talent there that couldn’t be ignored by anyone. I would often participate in a recital growing up and many people would come up to me afterwards and praise me in many different ways, many times in tears. On top of that I would do competitions and would get the top score on every single one. This would often involve things like accuracy of intonation, bowing, volume, etc. I never wanted to play though. I started playing piano when I was 3 years old and then switched over to violin when I was 8 as an attempt to escape playing the piano and doing private lessons. I was able to sight read classical music really well and often my teachers would tell me how good it was and that I needed to keep going. All I wanted to do was to get out. I wanted to escape. I only missed one day of practice from 3 years old all the way until I graduated college as a 23 year old. I remember thinking that if I just did what everyone wanted then I could finally go do something else.

I was very blessed in my childhood by my parents. They provided me with an education, taught me discipline, fed me, paid for school and really set me up to succeed in the world. They went through many many very difficult challenges in their life, including losing their parents as teenagers or younger in the case of my mom with her dad, and despite those challenges they still offered me a lot in life. I’m very grateful for what they did for me.

In 2008, when I was graduating, I was feeling deep loneliness, depression, and anxieties. I had had enough. I was done feeling that way. I decided that I didn’t care what I had to do, I was getting out of that mental, emotional, and physical state I was in. No one around me at the time seemed to be able to understand or have any sort of guidance for me, so I picked what I thought was best for my path. I dove straight into dating groups. I needed to learn how to socialize and how to actually connect with people. I struggled and struggled for years to learn this. I went out every single weekend for years, throwing myself into every single social interaction possible and trying to connect with people. It was really awkward and painful for years. Often I’d go home from the parties, bars, or clubs crying. Having nights where every single person I went up to said no to me. I felt I had no other option but to keep trying. The alternative to not trying was essentially death in my mind and letting the loneliness win and I sit alone forever.

When I was finally old enough to drink alcohol, I started to see some social success while using that. It very quickly became a crutch for me when I went out. When I drank, I no longer felt social anxiety. I was able to connect with people, have fun, make friends, and sometimes have romantic connections. The problem is, I’d have to drink so much that it was hard to keep my composure. I’d forget parts of the night, I’d wake up with a headache and feeling like I was hit by a truck. I didn’t see any other way to connect to people without it so I kept going. Eventually one of my mentors at the time, showed me that you can have fun without it. He showed me it was possible and that was all I needed.

If it was possible and he could do it, then so can I.

In 2016, for the entire year. I went out every single weekend , Friday and Saturday, from bar open to bar close, threw myself into every social interaction I could and didn’t drink at all. I only drank 3x that year, for my birthday, a convention I went to, and New Years Eve. I learned that you don’t need alcohol to have fun.

One of the key things that was often said in the dating groups was that you can’t have dating be your number 1 thing. If you want to maintain an amazing partner, you must also be an amazing partner. You must have things going for you to attract those kinds of people into your life. The friends I made in that dating group created this weekly mastermind group we called “Goal Group.” This was a way for us all to hold each other accountable and to push each other towards the best version of ourselves. Helping each other with fitness goals, career goals, romantic goals, etc. Everything relating to our lives. I found different self help groups and started diving into them. I started to meditate more.

Eventually, I discovered plant medicine ceremonies and started participating in them every trimester. Every time I sat with the plant medicine, I dove into a new trauma. I was thrust into the darkness and I learned how to transmute it by being in that pain. I’d often get homework from the medicine about my life. “Workout more” “lose more weight” “Have that hard conversation” and then I’d spend the next 3 or 4 months executing on that. I’d lean on my friends in the goal group to help keep me accountable to these things and would work to execute on the homework I had been given. Once I had moved through those lessons sufficiently, I’d dive in again. For 5 years, from 2016 to 2021, I followed this process. I would go into the plant medicine ceremony, I’d be brought to another traumatic event and release emotions around it. Then I’d be given homework to execute on, and I’d apply the lessons to my life and transform it. One of the major things I learned was that all that darkness I experienced growing up, was actually a gift. The abuse turned into strength, the pain of loneliness turned into appreciation for time alone, the rejections were blessings of a better life. This does not mean that I think anyone needs to experience trauma to have a better life, in fact there are many ways to achieve this without that. However, I had a lot happen to me growing up and I choose to learn and grow from it instead of letting it drag me down.

In 2021, I went into the plant medicine ceremony, completely expecting to be hit in the face again with another trauma, and instead this time it was a celebration. I felt so blissed out and full of love. It was in those moments that I spoke out to god, the universe and the higher beings that I wanted to start to give back to people. I wanted to help and provide for others what had been provided for me in the past 13 years. I do not want to see people go through the same pain I did for so long, to show people the way out of the pain and to a better life and to teach and show there are better ways in life than what I had available to me.

I got introduced to Reiki for the first time coming home from a trip to costa rica in 2021. The friend I was traveling with ended up coming down with covid on the ride back home. I instinctively put a hand on their back to comfort them and I felt all this dirty yucky energy go up my arm. They immediately felt better and told me I had a gift. Because I didn’t know how to clear energy at the time, I ended up getting sick from that, however this friend introduced me to my first Reiki teacher and I dove deep into that, eventually becoming a reiki master.

This was also around the first time I got introduced to cacao. My friend invited me to a sound healing ceremony and cacao meditation. I drank the cacao and thought “wow this is a tasty hot chocolate” I didn’t understand why we were having a meditation around it. Throughout the year, different people would introduce cacao to me in several different unrelated ways. I was feeling drawn to it and curious about it. When things show up in my life over and over I take that as a sign that spirit wants me to experience something. I eventually bought my first batch of cacao. I started to drink it and work with her in my daily practices and I noticed something. I noticed that when I drank cacao, my heart chakra opened up and the more it opened up the more energy it had. My heart was expanding every time I drank cacao. As I was working through some traumas and negative energies, I was shown how to use that excess energy in my heart. I let it spill over into other parts of my body, wrapping the darkness in a ball of love. When the darkness was wrapped in love, it then transmuted the whole thing back into love. It was like I went to my sadness, anger, resentment, anxiety and gave it a big hug. I loved it where it was and by doing so the emotion and energy released from my body. I was convinced. Cacao needed to be shared with everyone. I went to my friends and I shared it with them. I noticed that cacao could help with even more than just healing, it can help people connect. When we come from our heart and from love, connections happen so easily.

Cacao has shown me the source of love in my own heart. The deeper I go into myself and my practices, the deeper I go into love, and the deeper I go into the universe.

The heart is the gateway to god and mama cacao can open that door for us.

As I continued sharing these gifts to people in ceremonies and different 1 on 1 services. I got introduced to a teacher who showed me how to do qigong and how it could massively improve what I was doing in my practices. As I incorporated daily qigong into my practices, I noticed that what I was doing with reiki became more and more potent.

Later on, this teacher, told me about my current teacher, Master Co and how amazing pranic healing is. As I started to dive into pranic healing, I was completely blown away by everything he was saying. All these experiences I’d had in my life that I could never put words to, suddenly had explanations to them. On top of that, there were many experiments we ran that could continuously produce results for myself and for others. I started seeing miraculous healings, from helping someone quit vaping in 1 session, helping someone with scoliosis correct their spine 5 degrees, to helping many different people recover from physical, emotional, and mental ailments since mid 2023.

I’m so so grateful to Master Co for bringing the teachings through from Master Choa Kok Sui in a way that has completely transformed my life for the better and transformed how I show up for clients and what I can do to help people now.

I have discovered my purpose in life through all of these life challenges I shared with you and many more than would honestly just make this response a bit too lengthy. To put it very simply, it is to help people heal and transform their lives in a way that leaves them so much better off in a gentle and loving way. To help heal people of their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual ailments. To be a teacher to share with people what I have learned in hopes that it helps them in their life. To help transform and massively improve the lives of as many people as I can.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

Please see the last question on finding my purpose for more details on this.

I am a sound and pranic healer. I work with chronic illnesses and all the different labels of illnesses western medicine has come up with, including physical, emotional, and mental worlds. I am most familiar with social anxiety and severe depression thanks to my 16 years of personal struggle with that. I now have techniques that work to help heal all these different types of issues.

Currently I run in person cacao, sound, and pranic healing ceremonies every 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month in Minneapolis, MN. These ceremonies involve a cacao meditation, a short lecture on a spiritual topic, and then sound/pranic healing to help deeply and massively release all the negative energies in the body and all the chakras.

I run online sound and pranic healing ceremonies every 2nd and 4th saturdays of the month.

I offer 1 on 1 healings for anyone desiring to get more personalized healings to help them be healed of their ailments on any level(physical, emotional, mental, spiritual).

I also am open to being hired for events to run group ceremonies for people, so if that interests you as well, please reach out and we can chat more about that.

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?

Being disciplined and having the will to act.
Focusing on what actually brings results.
Deep inner reflection and, as my teacher Master Co puts it, ruthless self honesty.

Without these 3 things, it’ll be very difficult to change things in your life no matter how much release you might do.
Both inner and outer changes are often required to make lasting changes in your life.

Reach out for help, experiment, and come to your own conclusions about things. Be willing to take massive action if you want lasting changes in your life. Always try to find the win-win situation when working with others.

When it comes to massive action also, be willing to start small and easy and build it gradually. Small easy consistent steps that progressively introduce more is the key to building a habit up.

Any advice for folks feeling overwhelmed?

My answer to this has evolved throughout the years. Where I’ve landed now is to make sure you are doing your meditation practices every day.

Some quick practices to quickly relieve stress or feelings of overwhelm is to simply do deep, slow, belly breaths, in through your nose and out through your mouth. Maybe sighing or letting out a sound as you do so to release a bit more.

One other practice I highly highly recommend is, from my teacher Master Co, to do the twin hearts meditation. This practice uses the prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi to massively bless the earth with gods energy. We act as a channel to let gods energy flow through during this meditation, and in the process of doing this, a certain degree of negative emotions and thoughts will be flushed out of your system through this massive down pouring of divine energy. It activates our heart and crown and deeply cleanses and energizes us. I’d encourage you to try it out either by clicking the youtube link or by searching Master Co Twin Hearts on youtube.
