Throughout his formative years, Russell’s father was also his church minister. This foundation inspired Russell’s life-long interest in spirituality. Through his maternal line, Russell was exposed to complementary health and by the age of 15 was being trained in Osteopathic massage and manipulation. Spirituality and healing became the two key areas of focus in Russell’s life, running parallel to each other, until their paths crossed when Russell was 29. In the July of that year, his father passed away. Besides the priority of his family, Russell devoted the balance of his time to his successful clinical practice in natural therapies, and fulfilling his role as a lay minister at church. Some weeks after his father’s passing, Russell had a series of dreams in which his father appeared, and taught him about love and spirituality, in ways that were different to how he had been raised. In what was to be the last dream, his father asked him if he had anything he wanted to know. Russell replied, “You raised me in a church with it’s own ‘take’ on spirituality, and yet what you have been teaching me here is significantly different. How does the spirituality of my upbringing fit into truth?” With that his father explained, “It’s easier for me to show you.” He then raised his right arm to shoulder height and placing his palm forward, drew a large circle that resulted in the formation of a ball of brilliant light, about two to three meters in diameter. It was so bright, it seemed to more brilliant than the sun, yet one could look at it. It’s radiance made everything it touched transparent. His father then explained, “This is truth!” Removing his hand, he then extended his index finger and proceeded to draw a circle just a few centimetres wide, the circumference of which remained darker in colour. He then revealed, “The small circle represents the spirituality of your upbringing. It’s a small part of a much larger truth. My advice to you, go in search of the bigger truth.” At that moment the dream finished, and for Russell, there were no more dreams with his father. His father’s explanations about love and spirituality continued to play in Russell’s mind, and the idea of searching for a truth beyond his formative religious teachings presented Russell with a conundrum. Where was he to begin looking for this ‘bigger truth’? When the student is ready, the teacher appears. A couple of months later, Russell’s mother gave him a copy of Gerry Jampolsky’s book Teach Only Love, as a Christmas present. As he began to read Gerry’s book, the words seemed very familiar. Russell realised immediately that everything his father taught him in his dreams was here in Gerry’s book. Immediately Russell knew which path his spiritual journey would take. The floodgates of learning opened, and over the next decade Russell’s spiritual journey became inspired by A Course in Miracles and more particularly Gerry’s simplified interpretation, which he named Attitudinal Healing. With time, it became clear to Russell that his Osteopathic approach to healing and this spiritual approach to life could be blended. The harmonising of these two aspects of Russell’s life became the curriculum of a course of healing that Russell called Fascial Kinetics, which he taught throughout the 90’s, in the USA, New Zealand and Australia. It is still taught in Australia and New Zealand. With conscious teaching comes expanded awareness. In 2006, Russell chose to live in southern Italy for almost a year, while he researched and wrote his first book, Metanoia, Renovating the House of Your Spirit. It was from this that Russell was inspired to create his mindfulness mentoring approach that he called the Enhances Awareness Program (EAP). Russell has trained other like-minded people throughout Australia and New Zealand to use his work, and they in turn now work with clients from all over the world. In 2018, Russell published a small autobiography entitled, Get Out of Jail Card, A Jou
