About
Chris Griscom and The Light Institute of Galisteo
 Chris
Griscom has long been recognized as a visionary and
spiritual
teacher of truly global stature. Her great love for the earth and
its peoples has inspired her to travel the world, reminding us all
of the sacredness of life. Her teachings about reaching the
Divine Higher Self and Expanded Consciousness are encapsulated in
her many renowned books and tapes. Her latest book, PSYCHOGENETICS
continues this legacy.
Chris
established The Light Institute in the ancient pastoral
village of Galisteo in 1985, and it swiftly earned its present-day
reputation as a ground breaking spiritual center for its phenomenal
work in facilitating people's spiritual growth and healing. Her
understanding of, and compassion for the health and vitality of
people's souls has made her the preeminent leader in the exploration
of multi-dimensional and multi-incarnational realities.
Chris
Griscom is an internationally acclaimed Spiritual Teacher and Healer.
She is a world recognized visionary, the author of eleven books
which have been translated into thirteen languages, and the founder
of The Light Institute of Galisteo and The Nizhoni School For Global
Consciousness, both of which are located in Galisteo, New Mexico.
As
an energetic healer, Ms. Griscom's work has inspired and touched
people across the globe. Her humanitarian services and
contributions in holistic health and education have been twice
recognized by The Indian Board of Alternative Medicines, based in
Calcutta, India. The Board awarded Ms. Griscom with the Sewa
Chakra Award on December 2, 1996. Ms. Griscom was specifically
recognized for her work with AIDS patients. Past recipients of
the award include the late Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama.
Ms. Griscom again traveled to Calcutta, India on December 1, 1998 to
receive the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Board. During
her visit, Ms. Griscom and a team of health care professionals from
around the world formed a new International Board of Alternative
Medicines. Ms. Griscom will reside as vice president of the
association and will be the director of activities in the United
States.
Asked
when her healing work began, Ms. Griscom replies, "It's
impossible to say. It's always been a part of my life."
As a child, she traveled extensively with her father, an
agricultural entomologist. She feels that this early immersion
in nature gave her the ability to walk the Earth in connection with
other realities.
While
attending the University of Mexico, Ms. Griscom lived in a small
peasant village in the hills of Mexico City, where she was taken
under the wing of a local 'curandera', or village healer. Ms.
Griscom spent the following nine years working in the Peace Corps
throughout South America, teaching and in turn learning about the
mystical dimensions of perception that characterized the native
cultures she was involved with.
In
fact, the spiritual flame of expansion for Ms. Griscom was ignited
during her Peace Corps service. While working in El Salvador,
she experienced an amplified awareness of life and death due to the
monumental infant mortality rate there. In response to this,
she went on to devote much of her healing talents to the field of
birthing. In 1984 she became one of the world's first recorded
individuals to give birth in the ocean. Also as a result of
her Peace Corps experience, Ms. Griscom developed her now
internationally famed acupuncture technique which is the basis for
her work at The Light Institute.
Returning
to Galisteo, New Mexico, in the early seventies, Ms. Griscom began
studying massage and acupuncture; discovering their powers to move
energy in the body. From this, she discovered 'Windows to the
Sky', a powerful, ancient form of acupuncture which precipitates
awareness of the higher octaves, or dimensions of experience.
Paving
the way for the youth of our planet, Ms. Griscom founded the Nizhoni
School for Global Consciousness in 1988. The school offers a
holographic approach to education, allowing people of all ages, from
all over the world, to discover their inner wisdom and power, and
bring it forth in order to teach, heal, and lead. The school
offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Divinity and also offers a
Middle and High School Curriculum.
Indeed,
Ms. Griscom has devoted her life to the healing and care of the
planet, the body, and the soul. Throughout the world, Chris
Griscom has shared her intrinsic wisdom and insight on global
consciousness, love, and healing with thousands upon thousands of
individuals.
Ms.
Griscom is a thirty year resident of New Mexico. She is the
mother of six children to whom she devotes as much time as they need
or want. The remainder of her time is devoted to the
continuance of her work at The Nizhoni School For Global
Consciousness, The Light Institute and to international seminars and
tours.
