Devoted to Healing

Healing through spiritual connection and devotion for all mankind.

Welcome to my website where resources may help you discover the person you are created and called to be! 

We all have a sense of the inner truth of who we really are called to be here on earth. Sometimes we lose our path, or get stuck in deeply rooted traumas, but together we can overcome! 

When two join together to promote healing, self-acceptance, and growth the outcome can be very profound. I tailor each session to the unique needs of each person, and believe when a person is called to heal, they are guided to the right practitioner to help them on their journey. Whether it be deep rooted childhood traumas, or common day aliments, I’d be happy to work with you!

Become the person you are created/called to be!

There can be no higher blessing than to become aware of who you are created/called to be. Why this is so is because it awakens you to your own “inner truth” that guides you in all things to realize the path of love and service given you.

Human  life is a quest to respond to the universal call from Spirit. What is crucial is to know is: How we can respond completely to Spirit in our own hearts given that we are also impacted with karmic energies of the human race that block us from being able to be receptive to Spirit?

In this meditation, you are guided to listen to the deepest yearning of your heart to be touched by your eternal loving source/spiritual family. And as you experience this, you awaken to your own unique call to embody the eternal spirit of love in serving the good of all your fellow beings.

Releasing Suffering Held in the Unconscious

Releasing Suffering Held in the Unconscious

The deepest need of humans in any time, any place, is to be able to release negative states of mind held in the unconscious that are a cause of suffering. What is most crucial is to know where we can turn to do this. That place is the Enlightened Ones of humanity who reveal the sacred depth of the eternal spirit of love within in our own hearts. This is what is completely free of anything that would cause harm to ourselves or others.

Cultivating the Sacred Vision of Our Humanity

What if as human beings we are brought forth from the Divine Birther of the Cosmos that sees, knows, and loves us in its own image? What if we are all meant to know ourselves as the beloved sacred spirit-persons we are created/called to be? What could it mean to experience awe and wonder as we are able to bow to who we are, to who we all are, as we are liberated from any ego sense of self-importance, or self-loathing, and are able to be truly free? And what if in this new found freedom we can be persons of friendliness and kindness towards ourselves and everyone?

Spirit-Centered Healing offer meditations and spiritual practices that aim at inner awakening and realizing that our life on earth is a call to rise to the highest potential of our humanity. It is a call to embody divine wisdom, love, compassion, loving-kindness, generosity, joy, peace, mercy, forgiveness, patience, and equanimity – all those virtues that come from living a spirit-centered life. And very significantly, Spirit-Centered Healing offers ways of cultivating intuitive guidance that promotes wholeness of mind and body that is so necessary for spiritual unfoldment in any individual’s life.

Daily Spiritual Practices

The first thing I do upon awakening is to find the meditation posture that is most conducive to awakening to what I term “my eternal loving source/spiritual family.” As I bring awareness to my breathing in and out, I then meditate on these words:

O Abba/Amma, Eternal Beloved One, Loving Creator of the Cosmos, our lives, all that is,

With all that I am, with all that I have experienced throughout my whole life, from my earliest beginning in the womb up to and including all that I am experiencing now,

In communion with my spiritual family on earth, and in heaven, this side, and the other side,

I trust completely that you see me, you know me, you love me, as the beloved sacred spirit person you create/call me to be, who I truly am in your sight.

With deep gratitude and humility,
I open to receive your outpouring divine all-permeating light, your eternal spirit of love from within the depths of my own heart.

And now I pray and listen deeply:

O, what blessing, healing, illumination do you bring forth in my life in communion with my spiritual family, that is in harmonious accord with the wholeness of mind and body that I truly need,

That I too may awaken and embody your eternal spirit of love –
Your wisdom, love, compassion, loving-kindness, generosity, joy, peace, mercy, forgiveness, forbearance, patience, and equanimity,

in serving the highest good of all, myself and everyone, as the beloved sacred spirit-
persons you create/call us to be, who we truly are in your sight?

Following these verses, I focus my awareness on my third eye/crown chakra as I use mantras and sacred verses I am drawn to, listening to what Spirit would bring forth. In this spiritual practice, I awaken to the intuition of that one outpouring eternal spirit of love radiating through me with my spiritual family for the good of all beings. My spiritual practice also includes chanting, Reiki and devotion to the Enlightened Ones I am drawn to.    

I stay with this as long as I am guided, and it also leads me to radiate light to family members, to members of my meditation group, others – to the whole world. This meditation also includes doing the body meditation I have developed to bless me with good health for the whole day. After this, I finish my practice with taking flower essence, using gemstones, and chanting. Lastly I ask guidance on my supplements, which have come from accessing guidance that I need for optimum health of mind and body.

Spirit-Centered Healing
755 N 73rd St
Omaha, NE 68114

The insights developed in Spirit Centered Healing have come from Steven’s own spiritual journey, which began in his early 20s when he was touched in a powerful way by writings of Christian mystics. This led to his entering the Trappist monastery of the Abbey of Gethsemani, a Roman Catholic monastery from 1968 to 2000.

While in monastic life, Steven was involved in inter-religious dialogue and studied and practiced meditation as taught in Hinduism and Buddhism along with his Christian practice. Steven also participated in giving Christian/Zen retreats for a number of years at his monastery.

In the later part of his monastic life, Steven was guided to take leave of monastic life and search out a path of healing work because of the impact of early childhood trauma that began to manifest in his life.

Steven incorporates into his healing work his accumulated wisdom of spiritual practice, which also includes Reiki and the work of Hanna Kroeger, known as the grandmother of health. He has expressed this in his book, Innocent Perception: A New Lens for Healing (published in November 2022 on Amazon). Now in his 82nd year of life he is completely devoted to making known the wisdom in his book in service of his fellow beings.

Steve Distefano has played a significant role in my healing journey. Steve had helped me to heal childhood related trauma and also PTSD from an unhealthy marriage using his Reiki practice. Receiving Reiki in addition to having Steve guide me through his Heart meditation and Body meditation has been instrumental in my healing and released my past traumas.

Steve is a highly gifted intuitive and empathetic healer. I regard Steve as a true gift to humanity.

The modalities which he has termed Spiritual centered healing is a remarkably powerful experience. I highly recommend Steve, based off of my own personal experiences with receiving Spirit centered healing session’s from him. He is a true Gem of a human being!

–Angelica

I had a session with Steven Distefano the other day and it was very profound. He has a very strong spiritual practice. We started with a meditation to open and receive guidance. After a period of silence, Steven accessed guidance from Spirit for me and what came was that I had fear, doubt, anxiety, and worry stored from interactions in my 35th through 38 year. He gave me a Reiki session to open to Spirit and allow release of these energies. During these years there were a lot of changes in my life during that period along with quite a bit of trauma. In the session, I experience a release of these stored energies. Also with his study and practice of the work of Hanna Kroeger for many years, Steven reset my spine and tailbone and made sure all my nutritional supplements were up to date. The session was powerful for me and I look forward to more sessions with Steven. Thank you Steven.

– Marina

I had no idea I needed to do so much inner work for myself; no idea that I was still carrying so much residue from my early childhood experiences nor to the degree that my past was still affecting me – still negatively affecting my life. I was not conscious of that because I knew I had prayed, and I assumed I was healed – or should be healed. I assumed the continued depression was just me, just who I was. I had read about sexual abuse by the author, John Bradshaw, but it was only the support and wisdom that you and my Jewish community provided that enabled me to work through to release and freedom. You have had a huge impact on my life. Thank you for everything you’ve taught me and helped me work through. I was not able to accomplish so much through my counseling training or with my experiences with professional counselors.

–Sharon

I feel fortunate to have met Steven Distefano through one of his workshops on the concepts of “Spirit Centered Healing”. In both group settings and private counsel session work with Steven I have gained a wealth of information and useful tools to help enrich my life. Steven calls on his life of spiritual devotion and study of world religious philosophies to help one establish a basis for their own daily conscious engagement with Spirit. I especially enjoy using meditations he introduced to call and open to Spiritual Guidance and Spiritual Healing. Using practices suggested by Steven I am learning the importance of actively asking Spirit and actively listening for Spirit’s guidance and replies. I feel empowered by the concepts of Spirit Centered Healing which address me on mental, physical and Spiritual levels. I believe in the message and practices of this work. Thank you, Steven for bringing this forward.

Modern conventional medicine told my wife there was nothing more they could offer for her. Her doctors could but keep her on toxic pharmaceuticals combined with narcotics for pain management. My wife and I had already tried various diets, acupuncture, special supplements, and various therapies. No improvement for her severe fibromyalgia was found. I was referred to Steven, met him, gauged his motive and discovered his deep compassion and his brilliant mind. After the treatments, Reiki and dietary changes recommended by Steven our lives have improved so dramatically. We have continued to work with Steven and words cannot express our gratitude. The teachings and knowledge this man shares are timeless and priceless.

– Mike and Jodi

Steven had intuitive insight into my very painful childhood experiences. I will be forever grateful to Steven for helping me to overcome my pain thru the positive healing energy of his Reiki treatment. Now I am trained in Reiki by Steven. I can bring positive healing energy to family and friends. Reiki positive healing energy is waiting for you.

– Jeanette

Steven’s enthusiasm for connecting to Source Energy (God, Universal Spirit, whatever you want to call it) is incredibly uplifting and empowering. He speaks and writes beautiful meditations and prayers that help guide your Spirit upward. I always feel better after being in Steven’s presence. He so generously shares his knowledge and time. Steven is a gifted writer, healer and teacher. His words radiate with love and light healing energy. He is a gentle and generous spirit. His passion for enlightenment and healing know no bounds. Thank you Steven for sharing your love of Spirit, meditation and healing.

– Ally

I’ve been a spiritual seeker for the past 10 years now. What drew me to Steven during a Wednesday night meditation group was his ability to incorporate visualization and imagination into a powerful personal meditation and follow that with the Healing Reiki experience. I have followed the Way of Devotion ever since. Steven’s core message of receiving love directly from an enlightened being during meditation catapulted me into another spiritual dimension. I still use the simple, but very meaningful, invocation that Steven taught me to initiate my meditation and prayer time each day. This daily practice helps keep me centered and feeling loved. The more I experienced the benefits of Reiki, I had Steven attuned me into Reiki level one, two and Reiki Master level III training. Now, thanks to Steven, I can share this natural healing with family and friends. In conclusion, I found Steven’s methods for meditation, prayer and Reiki to be extremely valuable in my daily practice and I highly recommend incorporating his techniques into your spiritual life.

– Kris

After having sessions of clearing emotional blocks, I was impressed with Steven’s abilities to pinpoint where the causes were from. I felt like old traumas were being lifted and I was able to move ahead with more confidence. Steven’s assistance guiding me to the best supplements and doctors has been wonderful. I am partially blind and he helped me find the right eye doctor. My eye pressure had been too high and now it is normal. With Steven’s suggestion I was attuned to all levels of Reiki. As a massage therapist, I have been told by a client who feels energy that there is a noticeable shift of greater energy during the session. More good flows into my life as I follow Steven’s recommendation to meditate daily. I am grateful for all he has helped me to accomplish!

Innocent Perception: A New Lens for Healing

Innocent Perception: A New Lens for Healing is about one thing and one thing only – awakening to the divine vision of love that creates us for the sake of love alone. We did not have to be. The entire created Cosmos, our lives, all that is, proceeds from Spirit, our eternal-divine loving source.

The guidance meditation and the body meditation in this book turn us to our eternal source/spiritual family in whatever way our heart moves us. When we are willing to follow this deep yearning to respond to the universal call from Spirit, we awaken to those unquenchable, harmonizing energies, which proceed from our own radiant divine core.

Once we sense our core of divine radiance, a door opens wide, wherein we can discern all energies in our life towards realizing the call from Spirit uniquely given to us. We know instinctively, intuitively, where we can turn in whatever we experience, to be guided for the highest good of ourselves and our fellow beings.
