The "Yohti" is a channeled technique of healing that dates way back to fifth century Tibet. This ancient technique was first revealed by spirit to a group of one hundred holy men who were ready to receive the initiation and, in time, at least half of the men began healing and teaching in other places. First, they went to China and India. The healers almost always used gongs, chimes and bells. As the healers grew confident and began to incorporate the Yohti along with acupuncture and herbs, etc., they also began to separate the energies and used certain chants to just heal illness and disease in the body. The Yohti was used for 9 centuries and than fell into misuse due to arbitrary changes through the years.

The second re-emergence of the Yohti came in the 10th century in South Africa to a number of connected tribes. The medicine men interpreted Yohti as a cleansing of evil from mind and body. They learned how to also release spells and evil spirits from the body of a sick person and they had miraculous results. They also understood the value of sound and vibrations. The healers would chant the words and use rattles, drums and music. Even today, in certain tribes these practices still exist.

Russians living in a remote northern area introduced the third resurgence of the Yohti in the 15th century. They were able to use the techniques to learn how to prolong life. They interpreted the Yohti as the way to alleviate pain, suffering and anguish, and of course, the fountain of youth. The healers mainly chanted quietly and were very secretive. Some of the people still hand down the teaching to their students and children to this day, and these people have lived, and still are living to the ages of 150 or more!

The fourth major resurgence came again in the 17th century to American Indians in the southwestern part of North America. They were known as the Creek Tribe. They interpreted the Yohti as "Happy Body, Happy Heart". They were very adept healers, and some became Chiefs due to their expertise in healing. The healer was greatly prized and revered in those tribes, and more women were admitted in-to the "circle of learning" amongst the Creeks than in all the ages before. The native healers were called medicine men or shamans, and they also used drumming to reach other planes and levels of consciousness, and taught their people locate and contact their spirit guides and animals for guidance and protection. They used tobacco, sage, incense and many plants and natural remedies to cleanse themselves and their auras, and thought the communication with their ancestors, the animals, the sun, moon, stars and especially Mother Earth was sacred, and a natural way of life, and a lack of connection with that sacred way of living and thinking led to disease. Today, the interest in the people and their culture is stronger than ever before, and some of the Creek Indians still practice the Yohti, especially in Oklahoma.

The Yohti, in the past, has also been a strong form of healing in Australia, especially with the Aborigines, and all over Europe. As many practiced in secret, the information sometimes died out along with the holy men and women. Because it is channeled and stored in the library or Akashic Records, when the tune has been right, the r information was and still is passed to the right people at the right time. Many generations had and still have the information passed to them through their DNA, as well. Today, in America there are a handful of Yohti practitioners who have blended their own special information and healing techniques with the Yohti. Joya was initiated by a very powerful shaman who trained and worked with her before he made his transition to spirit. She has a very busy and thriving practice all over the world, and has many celebrities who love her work.

The numerology of the Yohti adds up to number 11, a master number that represents enlightenment, illumination and creativity. When the Yohti was passed to Joya her teacher called her a mid-wife of the ancient, but so new and precious information, and since then she has done her best to spread the light to all who ask, and to keep it alive. She also holds group sessions, individual soul readings and cleansings, deep tissue bodywork, past-life release work, Reiki and okiomi.
