We caught up with the brilliant and insightful MarBeth Dunn a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
MarBeth, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.
One spring afternoon, I sat at my desk on my glassed-in balcony-turned-office, surveying the dark cumulus clouds gathering over the lake. It was just about to storm when I reached out on Skype to a man in Germany I had never met to see whether we were a good fit to work together. As a multi-faceted Energy Intuitive and empath, I mentored and coached entrepreneurs to access their inner knowing and release their blocks to health, financial freedom, and happiness.
If you have had strategy sessions over Zoom or Skype, you would know the basic formula of questions asked and answered. This session began as usual, as I asked Frantz (not his real name) questions about his current situation. As he responded, I noticed a deep pain and heaviness in my chest. Idly, I wrote on my notepad the information I was receiving from his ”body-self”: this man was suffering from a sense of deep sadness and grief. Interestingly, as soon as I completed the notation, the pain and heaviness in my chest vanished, only to be replaced by a stabbing pain under my left shoulder blade.
I noted on my pad that he felt betrayed. Instantly, the pain vanished, and my solar plexus became a twisted mass of knots. Again, I jotted down that he had issues with relationships and difficulty maintaining his power. After that “indicator” had vanished, my attention dropped to the root chakra under my torso, and I noted his rage. Finally, my throat became sore, filled with his unexpressed emotions. After I noted it on my pad, my body returned to its normal self, leaving me astonished and marveling how beautifully his “body-self” had communicated what it needed and how easily I had interpreted the messages from across the Atlantic Ocean!
At this point, not knowing how to proceed, I silently asked what I should do next. I was guided on where and how to send healing energy without hesitation. I carefully followed the instructions, and almost instantly, his body responded. Every one of the “indicators” cleared.
I sat back in my chair, astonished. Not only had I received a “computer printout” of Frantz’s emotional issues, I had been guided to the solution!
I have known for many years that our bodies hold onto our emotions, stress, and trauma. Unfortunately, many people are disconnected from their physical selves and are unaware that their bodies are key to unlocking their emotional health. Simple mindfulness, grounding, and breathwork are a few of the techniques that can help rebuild a somatic body-mind connection and foster better health. Being an empath, I am grateful for the ability to use somatic healing to tap into people’s emotions and body awareness. I call it Intuitive Energy Management.
My next defining moment occurred about six years ago. The following story of a high school tragedy and a surprise morning message led to an award-winning Peace Movement based on the power of Unified Consciousness.
Did you know we are energy beings who can experience each other’s emotions and turmoil? Walking into a party, you can feel the vibes. If people are happy, you can feel it. If there is tension or discord, you can sense it. Conversely, people can feel the love and peace you extend to them across the distance.
A little after 2 pm, on February 14, 2018, on a beautiful, bright, sunny afternoon in Parkland, Florida, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, a former student, opened fire on students and staff at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School, killing 17 people and injuring 17 more. I lived about five blocks from the school, and while the helicopters were swirling overhead, the sirens blaring, and no one knew what was happening, I sent peace and healing to whoever was being affected.
After two weeks, I was practicing yoga on a bright Florida Thursday morning when I suddenly felt panicky and could not catch my breath. It dawned on me that the returning students were experiencing heightened fear and stress, and I could feel it. Again, I sent them peace and healing.
Fast-forward two months to a cloudy mid-April morning. I was surprised to suddenly “download” the knowledge that I was to lead a global peace meditation experiment in two weeks. Shocked, I asked for more time to plan the event, but my request was emphatically denied.
Luckily, I had a wonderful online business manager, Christine, who orchestrated everything. She created a FaceBook group and gathered a mailing list of participants from the Far East, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the US. She sent emails, created social media, and made it happen.
This experiment was based on the work of Dr. John Hagelin, a Quantum Physicist and leader of the Transcendental Meditation community. He had led over 50 meditation experiments in Washington DC, Detroit and multiple other cities, and other countries, like Israel, all of which involved in-person participation from meditators. The results of these experiments showed a consistent reduction of violence of over 21%. Dr. Lyn McTaggart, renowned author of The Field, and The Power of Eight has also demonstrated significant violence reductions with her Intention Experiments.
This online experiment focused on the Middle East because we could access statistics measuring violence from online organizations. The A.C.L.E.D., Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project, was the database I selected.
Facebook LIVE intimidated me, so I planned to conduct the 7-minute daily meditations over my conference line. I would guide the participants into a Unified Field of Consciousness and focus on Peace in the Middle East. On the launch day, however, my conference line crashed unexpectedly. I quickly grabbed my cell phone, set it up on a tripod, and led my first Facebook LIVE meditation. Over the six months of the experiment, violence in the Middle East dropped an astonishing 20+%.
The current iteration of the meditation experiment is the Ten Million for World Peace nonprofit organization I founded last year with a friend. We now lead 7-minute guided meditations daily into the Unified Field for World Peace, focusing on world leaders and host a 3 Masters Healing Circle. You are invited to our daily meditation at 1:11 pm Eastern over FaceBook and YouTube. Please join us at TenMillionforWorldPeace.org.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I have been a spiritual teacher for almost forty years since discovering A Course in Miracles in Haiti. For most of my life, I thought something was wrong with me until I learned I was an empath about twenty years ago during Reiki training. This explained why I often felt overwhelmed and experienced asthma in groups of people. In 2005, I opened my brick-and-mortar Reiki practice but quickly shifted to coaching and distance healing over the Internet, as it offered me greater flexibility. My Intuitive Energy Management System has empowered me to assist empaths and women in transition to find solutions to regain control and clear the path toward a vibrant, new life emotionally, energetically, and spiritually. The eclectic system combines various energy and consciousness-shifting techniques, including Kundalini Yoga and QiGong. My students have enjoyed additional financial benefits, significant improvement in relationships, and, most importantly, self-actualization. My work has been responsible for thousands of transformations. The outcome of Somatic and Energetic healing, once achieved, is reported to be nothing short of miracles.
As a founder and Director of Ten Million for World Peace, Inc., a 501c(3) nonprofit, I’m proud to lead a global community that’s dedicated to reducing world violence. According to independent statistics from the A.C.L.E.D. an online database, our collective efforts have resulted in a 30% reduction in world violence between August 1st and September 21st. Together, we livestream a daily 7-minute guided meditation for world peace. I am also the award-winning creator of the World Miracle Peace Experiment, a project that saw a 20% drop in Middle East violence in 2018.
I’m an international speaker on world peace, inner peace, miracles, Somatic Healing, and meditation. I’m excited to share my new book, Somatic Healing: The Proven Method to Unlock Your Wellness, Emotional Freedom, and Peace of Mind by Restoring Your Body-Mind Connection!
My work has been featured on FOX, NBC, CBS, and The CW networks OneMag, My Authentic Life magazines, and recently on Market Watch, Digital Journal, and YourTango.com, all thanks to the support and participation of individuals like you.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
For seventeen years, I supported my family in Haiti as an artist. My specialty was colorful limited edition hand-painted vignettes of Haitian life, including ladies on donkeys walking to market with baskets on their heads, selling in the market, and tending to their families. I also painted portraits in watercolor, oils, and acrylics, landscapes and seascapes on canvas, and over 70 murals.
Although I loved working as an artist, my life was messy. An unhappy marriage, a dangerous political climate (5 regime changes), a major drop in revenue, and health issues all contributed to major stress. That’s when my friend Eva loaned me A Course in Miracles. Although I didn’t understand it, I devoured the book. One morning, as the sun seeped in through the mahogany window slats, I was reading the “Course” in bed when I had an epiphany. For the first time, I realized that my thoughts held power; I could change my story and no longer be a victim of circumstance.
Have you ever had to pivot?
During my twenty-seven-year marriage, I had a varied career, including supporting my family as an artist in Haiti, a jewelry designer in Santa Fe, NM, and an online antiquities merchant in Florida. After my divorce, I had a meditation experience where I saw myself inside a new-age crystal store in my neighborhood. This piqued my interest, so I visited the store to learn more about it. The friendly lady working there invited me to their upcoming Reiki Circle on Friday night, and I eagerly signed up.
At the Reiki Circle, practitioners channel Reiki energy through their hands by candlelight. This powerful experience opened a doorway for me into a new world of healing and consciousness-opening techniques. I was an eager student and quickly developed my intuitive and healing capabilities as I became a Reiki Master, Kundalini Yoga instructor, Matrix Energetics practitioner, Emotional Freedom Technique master, and practitioner of several other modalities including Somatic Healing techniques.
Although my practice originated in a physical location, it gradually transitioned to the online coaching and mentoring business it is today.
