Baby BOOBOO

This cutie boy, born 
6/19/23, and his 3 other 
brothers, are being fos-
tered with love and care. 
BOOBOO is mostly 
white with black spots. 
He's one of the smaller 
ones, really playful but 
needs affection and human 
interaction the most. Likes to be cuddled, and 
to just be on or around his human parent. See more 
pics of him and his brothers on our website’s Very 
Young page, www.lifelineforpets.org. Booboo can 
be adopted with one of his brothers, but he can also 
be adopted sepa-rately if there is another young feline 
at home.


DR. RICHARD JELUSICH’S MISSION:

TO TRAIN A NEW GENERATION OF 
HEALERS

On a recent evening, Dr. 
Richard Jelusich and a 
few of his students filled a 
meeting room with massage 
tables, but they were 
not giving massages. This was a free public 
demonstration of Integrative Chakra 
Therapy® (ICT), a method of energy medicine 
developed by Jelusich, and which he 
has taught since 1999. 

On the massage table are patients lying 
supine. Next to each table is a graduate-
practitioner of Jelusich’s training. The 
practitioner begins by asking permission 
to “treat” the patient. Then, the practitioner 
moves their hands over the body of the 
patient, slowly, repeatedly, attempting to feel any issues with any of the patient’s chakras. 
There is no touching of the patient. The practitioner makes a preliminary assessment to 
be told to the patient later, then allows subtle energy to flow through them to the patient’s 
chakras and body. Finally, after about 15 minutes, the practitioner has the patient sit up, 
and the practitioner explains what he or she “saw.” Some of the insights might include 
mental, physical, emotional or spiritual events, pictures seen, colors seen in the chakras, 
and the relative health of the patient. The practitioners usually offer suggestions to the patient 
for further action for the purpose of helping the patient self-empower.

Dr. Jelusich is the author of “Eye of the Lotus; Psychology of the Chakras” and other books. 
He gradually developed his system, which he calls, Integrative Chakra Therapy® (ICT), 
after years of study and research. His full course for practitioners takes about 3 years from 
beginning to graduation, after which some of his graduates go on to become “healers.”

“Keep in mind,” said Jelusich, “that no healer actually ever heals. Only the patient heals 
themselves, or not. The healer merely facilitates (as a conduit) that very natural process and 
it is why a healer should not get caught up in the false pride of believing they have some 
special powers.”

Jelusich, who teaches mostly in Southern California and Canada, began his long career by 
doing “flower readings” in 1992. Those who attend such readings select a flower and place 
it on the table before Jelusich enters. Then Jelusich takes one flower at a time and proceeds 
to say things about the person who held that flower, usually saying things that he could 
not possibly have known. “The flowers speak to me,” says Jelusich, “and I am only sharing 
what they tell me.” Even the casual observer of these flower readings concludes that 
Jelusich is psychic. Participants over the years have had many reactions to these readings, 
usually that the short reading was unique, insightful, and helpful.

Still, the main work of Dr. Jelusich are his Integrative Chakra Therapy® workshops, those 
which take three years to produce trained healers. His methodology is outlined in his “Eye 
of the Lotus” book, which provides details to understanding the human chakras, what they 
are, and how they work and affect the way we perceive reality. Essentially, the chakras are 
7 points of energy and consciousness conduits in the body which reflect different aspects 
about each of us. This is the basis for Jelusich’s training program, teaching the student how 
to understand chakras, and how to ”read” them. The goal in chakra-reading is to allow the 
practitioner another perspective on what constitutes the “human organism,” and to lead 
the patient to a state of health and fulfillment. 

As his students advance in their training, they become able to see if a patient’s chakras are 
strong or weak, whether certain areas are over-worked, whether they have “baggage” that 
should be dealt with, and other issues. “It’s a very exacting work of discovery,” says Jelusich, 
“because you never know what the practice will reveal.”

As an observer, I have watched Jelusich and his practitioners do their healing practice, after 
which they tell the patient what they “saw.”

“Amazing,” said one patient. “That report was spot-on! Are you psychic?” Patients are 
told to maintain their spiritual practices, rest after the treatment, to drink water, and sometimes 
to take other actions. This can include being given chakra exercises, exercising more, 
listening to music, improving their diet, etc. It all depends on the individual patient.

Dr. Jelusich was born in 1953, and holds a Ph.D. in Human Science from the California 
Institute for Human Science (CIHS, an accredited university), where he is also lead faculty 
and Chair of the Board of Trustees. He has studied behavioral psycho-acoustics, bio-electromagnetics, 
transpersonal psychology, and Eastern-Western philosophy. His Ph.D. dissertation 
is “Psycho-Physiological Effects of Frequency Octave Related Light and Sound.”

Dr. Jelusich’s main teacher, Dr. Hiroshi 
Motoyama, was the first President and 
Founder of CIHS and was also the head 
priest of the Tamamitsu Jinja (a Shinto 
shrine and religious organization) in Tokyo, 
Japan.

Dr. Jelusich was recently honored this year 
with a lifetime achievement award by the 
Jinja in Tokyo, the “The 1st Hiroshi Motoyama 
Award” for his service in supporting 
CIHS and Dr. Motoyama’s philosophy 
and research.


Pet of the Week

 
Two-year-old Blair has a smile that will light up a 
room. This playful boxer mix is so happy to meet people 
that she almost instantly will erupt into a full-bodied 
tail wag. Her adorable underbite will also melt your 
heart! Blair loves exploring the play yard at Pasadena 
Humane. Her wrinkly forehead makes it seem like 
she’s deep in thought, but we suspect she’s really just focused 
on finding the treats that she adores. Even at the 
height of her exploring, she’s careful to always check in 
with the volunteers to make sure she’s not missing any 
butt scratches. We think that Blair might do well with 
an equal-sized playmate who has the same enthusiasm 
for playing that she does. She’s also quite content to be 
your right-hand woman! The adoption fee for dogs is 
$150. All dog adoptions include spay or neuter, microchip, 
and age-appropriate vaccines. New adopters will 
receive a complimentary health-and-wellness exam 
from VCA Animal Hospitals, as well as a goody bag 
filled with information about how to care for your pet. 
View photos of adoptable pets and schedule an adoption appointment at pasadenahumane.
org. Adoptions are by appointment only, and new adoption 
appointments are available every Sunday and Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. 
Pets may not be available for adoption and cannot be held for potential adopters by phone 
calls or email.
