From Homeless toBestselling Author

to Movie Star toHealing Musicianby Mathes Jones

Theres a natural order

and sequence to life

that, as humans, we all

understand: Night follows

day. Crawl before walking.

Grapes into wine. Rags to

riches. Homeless man turns

global bestselling author

turns movie star turns #1

rated singer/songwriter. You

know, that kind of thing.

Wait Whatchu talkin

bout, Willis?

Actually, its who, not

what, and the answer is Dr.

Joe Vitale, the worlds rst

self-help singer-songwriter.

Its hard to know whatVitale is best known for his

50+ books, his role in the

hit movie (and book), The

Secret, or the three Grammy

winners he attracted for one

of the six albums (The Heal-

ing Song) hes produced in

only two years.

Oh, did I mention that a

mere three years ago he could

only strum a few chords onthe guitar and had never writ-

ten a song much like Paul

McCartney and John Lennon

who were just learning song-

writing afterthey became the

Beatles?

Thats denitely not the

nice, neat, orderly progres-

sion we expect of typical

humans. But Vitale is hardly

typical. He lives in a world

that looks much different

than most of ours. Essential-

ly, he lives and sings what

he teaches.

Most (but not all) of his

books and writings are inthe self-help eld, and hes

landed a mass of bestsellers,

including The Attractor

Factor and Zero Limits.

His forthcoming book, The

Remembering Process, is

currently being published by

the worlds leading self-help

publisher, Hay House, due

out April 2014. His co-author

is his music producer, Daniel

Barrett.

Vitale sounds like a man

on re with a mission, and its

undoubtedly where his moni-

ker, Mr. Fire, comes from

(www.mrre.com). The truthis he is on a mission, showing

the world how to use music to

tap into our mind and bodys

natural ability to heal.

He calls it Healing

Music. Musics ability to

heal is not a new concept.

Itspower has been storied

in ancient text for thou-

sands of years of recorded

history, and today is well doc-

umented in medical researc

which Vitale describes in h

new ebook, HealingMus

(Free at www.HealingMus

Book.com.)

While Vitale has a fascina

ing backstory of homeless

multi-millionaire, its his ri

to stardom as a singer-son

writer thats so compellin

today.

Just how does a perso

succeed wildly in all the

different genres?

Perhaps its because he

a gifted communicator,

necessary and common d

nominator in books, lm, an

songwriting. Having spent

lifetime learning, applyin

and sharing ancient wisdo

and current technologies f

self-improvement, hes

expert in teaching peop

how to clear limiting beliethat keep them from pursuin

the things they really want.

But if you ask me, it

something else thats b

hind his success somethin

Vitale refers to as divi

inspiration.

The whole point of pe

sonal growth is to clear an

negative, limiting beliefs an

gain access to your Divinself, explains Vitale. Th

great goal is to be so cle

that when Divinity spea

through you, you dont thin

hesitate, or second gue

about a call to take actio

You just do it because there

no interference from the co

scious mind thinking, O

should I do it? Am I the on

Do I have the money? Do

have the experience? Do I

have the time? What do my

neighbors think? What do my

parents think?

Vitale is an example of

everything he teaches and

sings in his songs. He takes

his inspirations seriously. A

believer in fast, immediate

action, hes famous for the

saying, Money likes speed.

And this attitude has clear-

ly worked for him taking

him from zero to voted as

#1 singer-songwriter by

Reverbnation (March 2013)

in just two years. And ten of

his songs were nominated for

the Posi Award, the Grammys

of positive music.

When I decided to be a

songwriter three years ago, I

had thoughts like, Im not a

songwriter or singer. I cant

do that. One of my teachers,

famed singer-songwriter Ray

Wylie Hubbard, asked me,

Wheres the proof? Wheres

the proof you cant do that?

When he said that, I thought,

My God, hes right. I have

no evidence whatsoever that I

cant sing, play the guitar, re-

cord music, or write my own

song. Theres no evidence!

Given Vitales success as a

self-help teacher, both in his

own life and in his work with

others, its natural that this

rock-blues loving guy wouldtake the music world by storm

bringing his thousands of

fans into a new awareness of

musics healing power.

Using certain types of

beats and tempos known to

affect the mind and body

positively, along with posi-

tive messages to uplift a sag-

ging spirit, his eclectic music

style is as wide and varied as

his range of success. Were

talking sheer passion, not

elevator music everything

from soothing, such as the

song Got a problem? (on

the Strut! album), to down

home stomping fun, like his

standout song, You Gotta

(on his album, Sun Will Rise).

Whoever said a little fun

cant hurt you was only par-

tially right it can healyou.

And Vitales music is proof

of it. The idea behind heal-

ing music like mine is to al-

low the high vibration of in-

spired music to work on you.

It raises your energy. Thats

the basis for healing.

Being the worlds rst

self-help singer-songwrit-

er has its privileges. Hes

attracted some of the mu-

sic industrys nest, includ-

ing Glenn Fukunaga (bass

player for Robert Plant),

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

drummer Joe Vitale (yes, of

the same name), and Gram-

my award winner David

Darling to record with him.

He also got Grammy winners

Richard Furch and Joseph

M. Palmaccio to mix

and master one of his al-

bums (The Healing Song).

He also recorded two in-

strumental albums with

Guitar Monk Mathew

Dixon. Its no longer a secretthat like attracts like.

According to Vitale, be-

coming a self-help musician

was simply the next step. He

got the call, so to speak, and,

true to form, acted quickly on

that divine inspiration. And

its this instinct thats so in-

spiring to the rest of us.

When asked about his

meteoric path, he says, In

a world of all possibilities,

theres only one thing that

can stop youyour own

mind. Fortunately, you can

change that. You can expand

your own capacity to receive

all the good things in life.

From the outside lookin

in, Vitale does make quantu

leaps look like natural evol

tion, gliding seamlessly fro

one successful reality to anot

er. Hmm, maybe there is som

thing to that healing music.
