Silent Gaze...Part 2

Now when Daddy first heard Aunt Jenny tell him about Braco...he was a bit skeptical. But Aunt Jenny is one of Daddy's really good friends and has always tried to get Daddy to explore the world of alternative medicine and healers. And it was such a weird coincidence that Aunt Jenny would call from Brazil telling him she was just thinking about us and that we needed to see Braco, the day after we saw the neurologist. Daddy said he had some flashbacks to some of the "adventures" Aunt Jenny would get them into...but they always emerged unscathed and with a funny story. But Daddy wanted to keep an open mind because it was just too much of a coincidence even though was thinking back to the time when he was sitting at Aunt Jenny's beach house watching her burn mugwort and wafting the smoke around her knee (which had a torn meniscus) because a psychic healer in Mexico told her she didn't need surgery. So Daddy said he would do some research on Braco and go on a little adventure...it would hurt to see if Braco really had some healing powers or at the very least Daddy would have a funny story.

To understand the Braco...silent gaze experience, you should watch this video below first.





When Daddy arrived to see Braco, there was already a crowd and line up of people waiting to enter the session. The crowd was an interesting mix of older new age hippies, some people with physical challenges, and other just average people like Daddy. Some people seem to know each other, some just keeping to themselves wanting to be anonymous and some like Daddy looking around curiously wondering why they were there.

At 9am the line started to move, one by one we walked into the conference room. They didn't check your ticket or print out, you just dropped it into a basket. There was soothing new age music being played by a quartet and a bunch of volunteers directing you to the rows of seats. A woman with a calming voice was welcoming everyone and speaking warm encouraging words like a yoga instructor. Once everyone was seated, the woman introduced herself as Jane Sibbet, and she had produced a documentary on Braco and helped him organize his Tour of America. For those who watched the TV show "Friends", you'd recognize her as Carol...Ross's lesbian ex-wife.



Jane asked the audience some questions and then asked if some people wanted to share why they were there. Daddy said a young guy stood up and said he had met Braco in Hawaii and after the gazing session he felt all this positive energy surrounding him and then a number of good things started to happen. Then this middle aged guy shared his story of meeting Braco over a year ago and at the time he had been fighting with the Department of Defense for years to get compensation for exposure to chemical during the Vietnam War...well shortly after meeting Braco, he got a settlement. Then he said he also experienced a spontaneous remission of a cancer. He was diagnosed with a lymphoma and was about to start chemo but after meeting Braco, he said something told him to ask the doctor for another blood test...which came back negative. Daddy said the guy was visibly emotional telling his story. Jane then shared her experience with Braco which was somewhat different because she didn't participate in a gazing session but she was around Braco filming him and just by being in his presence she had experienced healing...not for herself but for her father. Jane talked about her father having been put in hospice care and given a few weeks left to live but after being around Braco, the energy help her father leave the hospice 18 months ago.

After the moving stories, Daddy said everyone was asked to stand to begin the gazing session. At that point Braco, walked into the room and stood on a stage in front of the room. He silently gazed out into the audience and scanned the room slowly from left to right to left to right and back to the center, then Braco quietly left the room. Daddy said, the whole gazing session took about 8 minutes, then people sat back down in silence for a few minutes. Looking around, Daddy said some people were visibly emotional, other basking with glowing smile. The volunteers were darting around the room with boxes of tissue handing them out to people crying.

Daddy said, Jane then asked people if they wanted to share what they experienced. One lady said, she felt an overwhelming sense of calmness and warmth with Braco's gaze. Another lady said she saw an aura around Braco. Jane said the last time they were in San Francisco, a lady said she saw Braco morph into Jesus and she was a Jewish. Daddy didn't feel any warm glow and tingly sensation but did comment that there was a sparkle in Braco's eye when his gaze was in Daddy's direction.



When Daddy came home and told us about his experience, we were all curious if the silent gaze of Braco was legitimate. Well Braco, doesn't claim to be a healer or that he heals anyone. People pay $8 to be in a room and have Braco silently gaze at you and that is exactly what Daddy got...so in his mind Braco is legit. So $8 maybe a small amount to pay to have some hope and I think what Braco does it offer people hope...not cures but hope...which sometimes is the best treatment possible. By the way...after Daddy came home that day...my colic wasn't that bad that day...so maybe Daddy did channel some good energy from Braco.



Well hopefully my silent gaze brings you happiness and hope!




If it does you can paypal $8 to Daddy...then I will laugh all the way to the bank like Braco!
