Hi, I’m Ares, founder and CEO of Crystal Mana, a holistic healing practice created for people who feel a quiet pull to understand themselves more deeply through the body, the nervous system, and consciousness.

​

I was born in New York City and have always been both intuitive and analytical by nature. I am an INFJ and a lifelong systems thinker, drawn to understanding how trauma, biology, perception, and consciousness intersect. My path into this work emerged through lived experience, careful observation, and formal training that allowed me to translate intuitive insight into grounded, ethical practice.

​

I am a Certified Cognitive Therapist, a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, and a Certified Reiki Energy Master. My approach is trauma-aware, consent-based, and rooted in nervous system science. I work with the understanding that the nervous system, emotional regulation, and the human biofield function together as an integrated system that shapes resilience, identity, and wellbeing. Ongoing research in psychophysiology and biofield science suggests that human regulation involves informational and relational dynamics, not chemistry alone. Stress, trauma, and overwhelm disrupt coherence, while safety, presence, and regulation restore it.

​

My work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, biofield research, and metaphysical philosophy. I approach healing as a systems-based process, recognizing that the nervous system, the biofield, and consciousness function together as an integrated whole rather than as separate domains.

Across ancient African traditions, similar concepts of primordial origin appear with remarkable clarity. In Kemetic cosmology, the pre-creation state was called Nun, the boundless, dark, watery expanse from which all form emerged. Nun was not chaos or absence, but infinite potential and generative depth. In the Dogon tradition of West Africa, creation is also understood to arise from a primordial field of potential, often described through symbolic language emphasizing vibration, order, and emergence rather than linear beginnings. These traditions understood darkness not as negation, but as fertile, intelligent origin.

​

In East Asian philosophical traditions, this foundational idea has also been named in precise ways. In classical Chinese philosophy and Daoism, the pre-origin state is described as Wuji (無極), meaning without polarity or limit, the undifferentiated state that exists before Yin and Yang arise. A closely related term appears in the Dao De Jing as Xuánpín (玄牝), often translated as the Mysterious Female, describing the receptive and generative source of creation. Early Chinese cosmology also speaks of Hundun (混沌), meaning primordial wholeness prior to structure, not disorder but unity.

​

In Japanese philosophy and Zen-influenced thought, comparable ideas appear through Ku (空), meaning emptiness or openness, and Mu (無), meaning non-being or nothingness, understood not as absence but as generative potential. Another important concept is Ma (間), which refers to the space or interval that allows form, movement, and relationship to exist.

In Korean philosophical traditions influenced by early Taoist thought, related ideas appear through Mu (무), meaning nothingness or non-being, and through concepts describing the undivided origin that precedes Taegeuk (태극), the Great Ultimate from which polarity and movement arise. These traditions emphasize balance, origin, and cyclical emergence rather than linear creation.

 

In European traditions,there is clear historical evidence that creation and life were understood to arise from a fertile, internal darkness rather than from light or nothingness alone. In pre-Christian Irish cosmology, this generative origin was closely tied to the land and the unseen world. The earth itself was understood as alive, maternal, and sustaining, with figures such as Anu or Danu representing nourishment, fertility, and abundance rather than a distant creator deity. Darkness, the earth, caves, and the Otherworld were seen as gestational spaces where life, wisdom, and transformation emerged. In Norse cosmology, creation begins in Ginnungagap, the primordial void that existed before form, where opposing forces met and gave rise to life. Ginnungagap was not viewed as chaos or absence, but as a generative emptiness, an interior source from which creation unfolded. While these traditions did not explicitly describe origin as a womb, they consistently understood creation as emerging from an internal, fertile darkness, a source of potential that precedes structure, identity, and form.

​

When I use the term Cosmic Black Womb, I am not presenting a religious belief or asking for faith. I use it as symbolic language to describe a pre-differentiated state of potential that appears repeatedly across physics, philosophy, and ancient cosmologies. It is not a doctrine, hierarchy, or belief system, but a conceptual map used to support nervous system regulation, identity integration, and embodied awareness..

​

In contemporary science, related ideas appear in discussions of the zero-point field, the quantum vacuum, and foundational fields of potential. In neuroscience and biofield research, this same principle appears through coherence, regulation, and patterned information exchange that extends beyond the nervous system alone.

​

You do not need to adopt my language or worldview for this work to be effective. The nervous system responds to safety, regulation, and coherence regardless of belief.

Through Crystal Mana, I offer structured containers and protocols designed to support nervous system regulation, biofield coherence, and embodied clarity. What I refer to as zero-point recalibration focuses on settling the stress response and restoring internal stability. What I refer to as Cosmic Womb work uses symbolic and somatic language to support self-trust, identity integration, and creative agency. These are frameworks, not doctrines.

​

I do not fix people. I help create the conditions in which the body and system can reorganize toward balance and clarity.

My philosophy is practical and grounded. Healing is not about forcing yourself into an external system or narrative. It is about restoring regulation, coherence, and agency so your original capacity for adaptation and presence can emerge naturally. Language is a tool, not a requirement. Your lived experience remains central.

​

When working with me, you can expect a respectful, trauma-aware space with clear boundaries and transparency. I translate concepts across clinical, scientific, and symbolic language so they can be applied meaningfully in daily life. The goal is integration, not transcendence.

​

This work is for people who are curious, reflective, and ready to take responsibility for their own regulation and growth. It is not for those seeking hierarchy, blind devotion, or an external authority to hand their power to.

Throughout this site, you will see terms such as Cosmic Black Womb, biofield, Source, and zero-point. These are conceptual maps. You are welcome to translate them into scientific, philosophical, or personal language that resonates with you. What matters is the embodied experience, not the label.
