Houiea LOVE, also known as Lorenzo Ricardo Walker II, is a multidimensional healing artist based in the Bronx, NY. He grew up in Paulsboro, New Jersey, graduated from Hampton high school with an advanced diploma in Hampton Virginia and attended Norfolk State University. He has visited almost every major city along the east coast. His healing journey consciously began in January 2012, after a jarring awakening that lead to his isolation from society. He began to deeply study religions, the occult, world histories, mysticism and any methodology that served the highest good of all involved. Houiea approaches life with an innocence that nurtures his inner child in a creatively nourishing way-- all in service to the divine. Through a continuous process of internal exploration and unlearning systemic programming, he intends to be the highest embodiment of LOVE that he can possibly embody in this lifetime. Through purification of the soul and the soul vessel, all is made clear and manifest by will of the divine.
In March 2012 he saw a woman having a bad day and felt in his heart that he should give her his good day. He visualized himself transferring his energy to her and miraculously, before his very eyes, she left the bus elated. He promptly had 3 weeks of bad luck after. This was the lesson he learned, not to ever give of ones own energy but instead from the infinite pool of divine LOVE directly provided by the source of all creation.
April 9th, 2013 he received his first Reiki session at Woodbury Wellness Center by Patti Nebel. The very next day he returned and became a student. One month later, on May 9th, he was braiding a friends hair as she was pouring out her sorrows. When he was finished, he laid her hair down and divine healing came through his hands to calm her mind. She felt the inner peace that he felt when he received Reiki. About one week later he was attuned to Reiki 1. He continued with local Reiki shares and learning through personal sessions with his Reiki master, then received his second attunement in June of that same year.
One year and one day from his first Reiki session, he received his Reiki Mastership. It was a long arduous journey of self discovery. He takes healing quite seriously and wanted to be exactly ready by the divines standards, not his own. By this time, his journey opened him up in so many ways that he was bursting with creativity. He dubbed himself a Healing Artist because he learned to use art to heal himself as well as others. After all, Reiki is a healing art.
Along his journey, Houiea has been taught by a list of mentors and influenced by many works that mold him into the divine being that he is: Apostle Joel H. Moorefield Sr. and Pastor Joel Moorefield Jr., Patti Nebel, Judy Dingler, Dr. Stanley El, Ackbar and AnneMarie of Sacred Green Earth, Paramahansa Jagadish, Yendys Nefer Atum, Ra Sema Ba, Drunvalo Melchizedek's teachings, Chief Baba Ifansami of O.I.D.S.I worldwide and currently Chief Alaje of Ile Ijuba.
When he accepted the gift of communicating with beings in higher realms, he was told very clearly that in order to continue to do so that he must see them as equals. He must raise his vibration to communicate with them and meet on a level playing field. So while he gives veneration and thanks to them for guidance and protection, he always reserves all praises to the source of all creation that undeniably exists. He understands the source of all creation as the masculine and feminine prime creator that breathed forth life into the universe, as the universe, to be a reflection of itself.
Houiea is forever redefining GOD, as his life is forever in motion. As he learns and remembers more of who he is, he understands more of what GOD is. GOD is all things cross space and time. All of creation is a reflection of the creator and we have the opportunity to find its reflection through understanding, suffering and compassion. GOD is LOVE. Through LOVING ourselves we accept the GOD in ourselves. Through LOVING others we accept the GOD in others and so forth, even with intangible life. GOD is eternal energy. GOD is our eternal soul that connects us all and sustains life within and without us. GOD is ALL.
