Your Ultimate Guide to Unlocking Fortune and Manifesting Miracles
Everything I once dreamed of or wanted to do in my life — began to manifest. And not just slowly—but rapidly, and in alignment with my soul’s truth.
Areyoufeelinglostinyourlife’sstruggles,battles,

Don’tyouworry!Everythingisgoingtobeokay.“Everything is made of energy,”saystheworld’smostrecognized Thirdeye Abundance Activator and Quantum Jumping Artist,NOCCIYamashita
You,me,theuniverseandeverythinginitarethemanifestationofthiscosmicenergy.Positiveandnegative.“From the smallest particles to the vast expanse of the universe, everything is energy,”addsNOCCI,theChiefExecutive OfficerofherinternationalenterpriseNOCCIChanelling Academy.“Understanding this changed my life dramatically. By being mindful of energy, you can significantly change your life, too.”
IgnitingtheSelf-AwakenedSpirit
ToknowhowyoumustknowthatNOCCI’sjourneyinto spiritualitydidnotbeginwithchildhoodintuitionor psychicgifts.Infact,shedidn’tseeorfeelanythingoutof theordinarywhenshewasyoung.Everythingstartedmuch laterinlife—whenshewas38yearsoldandmetEric,her twinflame.
EricintroducedNOCCItotheworldofenergy,frequency, andthelawofattraction.Untilthen,shehadneverthought ofherselfasspiritualorgifted.“But after meeting him, my reality began to shift. I started seeing angel numbers everywhere, experienced powerful synchronicities, and felt a deep awakening inside me. This was the moment I started to question my life and ask myself, “What is my true purpose?”
NOCCIwentthroughadivorceandleftthejobshehad onlykeptforfinancialreasons.Then,lifeshiftedevenmore dramatically—Ericwasdiagnosedwithcancer
Atthattime,shefollowedherintuitionandstarteda YouTubetarotreadingchannel.Itbecameanunexpected success.ViewersbegantellingNOCCIthathermessages weredeeplyaccurateandresonatedwiththeirlives.That’s whensherealizedshehadbegunchanneling—something sheneverthoughtwaspossibleforsomeonelikeher
I walk this path not for applause, but for alignment—with the souls I came here to serve, and with the mission my spirit chose long before this lifetime.
AsEricwasaReikiMaster,NOCCIalsobecameinterested inenergyhealing.Shebeganpracticingenergyworkto supporthimduringhisillness.Shesharedthisworkon YouTube,andheraudiencebegantoreportpowerful experiences:theirthirdeyesopened,synchronicitieslike 369numbersincreased,andtheybegantofeelenergyshifts intheirlives.
DuringEric’ssecondbattlewithcancer,NOCCIcouldn’t seehimforsixmonths.Soshecontinuedsendinghim distantenergyworkeveryday.“It was during that time that I started encountering interdimensional phenomena—demons, entities, and spirits in other realms. I learned how to clear them and realized I could move through different dimensions.”
Throughtheseintensespiritualexperiences,NOCCIbegan healingherself—herinnerchild,emotionalblocks,and subconsciouswounds.Shedidn’tevenrealizeshewas doing“shadowwork”—itjusthappenednaturallyaspartof thisdeepjourney.“Eventually, I experienced a quantum jump. Everything I once dreamed of or wanted to do in my life—began to manifest. And not just slowly—but rapidly, and in alignment with my soul’s truth.”
That’swhenNOCCIknew:“This is my mission.”

“Through NOCCI Channeling Academy, I now guide others to experience the same transformation—from disconnection to cosmic remembrance, from limitation to quantum reality.”
AMissiontoCombineAncientandModernTimes
NOCCI’smissionistobridgetheancientandthemodern—tobringsacredspiritualwisdomintoaformthatfeels real,accessible,andexperientialfortoday’sawakening souls.
Ancientwisdom,suchasthird-eyeactivation,energy cleansing,spiritcommunication,andmultidimensionaltravel,hasalwaysexisted.“Theseare not“newage”trends—theyaretimeless truthsembeddedinoursoul’smemory,” saysNOCCI,whoreactivatethis knowledgeinpeoplethrough guidedenergywork,channeled messages,anddeepvibrational transmissions.“I don’t teach from a textbook—I channel from higher realms what each person needs at the moment.”
However,shealsounderstandsthatweliveina fast-paced,modernworldwherepeopleare overwhelmed,distracted,andoftendisconnected fromtheirtrueselves.That’swheremodernselfdevelopmentpracticesbecomeessential:learning toregulateyournervoussystem,settingenergetic boundaries,understandingtraumahealing,and consciouslycreatingyourrealityusingmindset andfrequency.“These are tools I incorporate alongside ancient spiritual practices.”
InNOCCIsacademy,studentsexperienceboth:
• Ancientinitiations—likethird-eye activations,Lightbodyawakening,and contactwithcosmicbeings.
• Andmoderntechniques—likejournaling forsubconsciousreprogramming, breathwork,emotionalalchemy,and quantummanifestationpractices.
“I believe true transformation happens when energy meets embodiment”—whenpeople don’tjust“understand”spiritualityintellectually,butfeeltheshiftsintheirbodies, emotions,andrealities.“That’s why our work is not just spiritual—it’s cellular, quantum, and life-changing.”
Throughlivesessions,onlineprograms,andprivate channelings,NOCCIguidespeopletorememberwhothey are—notonlyashumans,butasmultidimensionalbeings capableofshiftingtimelines,healinggenerationalwounds, andfulfillingtheirsoulcontracts.
Thisfusionofancientremembranceandmodernintegration iswhatmakesNOCCIChannelingAcademyunique—and whatallowsitsstudentsnotjusttoawakenbutrise.
ConqueringtheChallenges
OneofthebiggestchallengesNOCCIhasfacedishelping peopleunlearnwhatthey’vebeenconditionedto believe—especiallyabouttheirownpower
Manypeoplecometoherthinkingthatthird-eyeactivation isjustabout“seeingvisions”orgainingpsychicabilities quickly.Butintruth,openingthethirdeyeisadeep,multilayeredprocessthatinvolvespurification,emotional release,energeticprotection,andtherewiringofone's entirenervoussystem.It’snotjusta“gift”—it’saresponsibility
Anotherchallengeisresistancerootedinfear.Whenpeople begintoactivatetheirinnersight,theyoftenstartencounteringthingsthey’veneverfeltbefore—unusualsensations intheirbody,vividdreams,visions,orevencontactwith other-dimensionalbeings.Somebegintodetoxphysically—throughcoughing,tears,shaking,ordigestiveissues. Thisisnormalintheenergy-clearingprocess,butbecause it’sunfamiliar,manybecomeafraidandwanttostop.
Then,there'sthetopicofentityattachment,whichisoften misunderstoodoravoided.Manypeoplecarryenergetic attachmentswithoutknowingwhichblockstheirintuition andcloudtheirsoul’svoice.
Watching my clients and students go from confusion to cosmic clarity is the most sacred reward I could ever receive.
WhenNOCCIstartedteachingaboutenergyprotectionand entityclearing,somepeopledoubteditorfoundit“too much.”Butovertime,theybegintofeelthedifferencein theirenergyfield—andtheyunderstandwhycleansingand protectionareessential.
“So how have I navigated this?”
First,byeducatinggentlybuttruthfully.NOCCInever sugarcoatthespiritualjourney—butsheholdspeopleina safespacewhiletheyprocessit.Sheremindsthem:“You are not broken. You are awakening.”
Second,sheleadsthroughdirectexperience.Inher sessions,studentsfeeltheenergy,seetheresults,and experiencetheirowntransformation.Oncetheystartseeing visions,meetingguides,ormanifestinginstantly,theyno longerdoubt—theytrust.
Andfinally,NOCCIcontinuestoremindthem:
“You are not alone.”
“I’ve walked this path myself—through fear, darkness, confusion—and come out on the other side, empowered, clear, and connected. And if I can do it, so can you.”
GuidingHigh-VibrationalMultidimensionalChildren
NOCCIsworkinsupportinghigh-vibrationalchildrenis uniqueandprofound.Sharingherexperience,shesaysthat high-vibrationalchildrenarenotjustintuitive—theyare multidimensionalbeingswhohavecometothisplanetwith powerfulmissions,advancedsensitivities,andcrystalline souls.Buttheworldtheyhaveenteredisnotdesignedfor them…yet.
Manyofthesechildrenfeeloverwhelmed,misunderstood, orevenmisdiagnosed.Traditionalsystems—especially educationandhealthcare—oftenlabelthemas“too sensitive,”“tooquiet,”or“tooemotional.”Butintruth, theyareenergeticallyawareanddeeplyconnectedtohigher frequenciesthatmostadultshaveforgottenhowtofeel.

“My vision for NOCCI Channeling Academy is both expansive and deeply rooted in one core mission:”
Tomakeenergyworkandmultidimensionalawarenesspartofeverydaylife.
Sheadds,“We are entering a new era—where the veil is thinning, human consciousness is rising, and more people than ever are awakening to their divine nature.”Energymasteryandspiritual awakeningshouldnotbereservedforthefew butmadeavailabletoeveryone—parents, children,businessleaders,educators,and healersalike.

Inthecomingyears,sheenvisionsNOCCI ChannelingAcademyexpandinginthree keydirections:
1.QuantumEducationforChildrenandFamilies:
NOCCIwantstocreateglobal programsthatbringintuitive development,energycleansing,and third-eyeactivationintoschools, parentingpractices,andhome environments.Spirituallysensitive childrenneedprotection,guidance, andvalidation—andtheirparents needthetoolstosupportthem energetically.“We are already developing child-friendly modules and parent-healer courses to meet this need.”

Through NOCCI Channeling Academy, I now guide others to experience the same transformation—from disconnection to cosmic remembrance, from limitation to quantum reality.
3.GlobalLightGridActivation:
“Through energy work, group meditations, and planetary missions, we are anchoring light codes around the world. I see the academy becoming a hub for global energetic work — clearing collective fear, activating sacred sites, and preparing Earth for the next phase of ascension.”
Andmostimportantly,NOCCIwillcontinuetolisten.Her teachingsareneverfixed,theyevolveassheevolves.She channelswhatisneededineachmoment,basedonthe frequenciescominginandthesoulswhoarereadyto receive.
Inthisnextchapter,NOCCIChannelingAcademywillnot justteachpeopleto“awaken”—
“We will teach them to embody, create, and lead in harmony with their multidimensional truth.”
“Because the world doesn’t just need more knowledge.”
“It needs more light.”
