Hi. I’m Christina Zinkiewicz, a licensed and certified facilitator of Higher Brain Living® and Inner Organic Technology® Activation. My preparation includes a 12-month mystery school on consciousness and embodiment, two hands-on trainings in Chicago and Miami, 6 months of academic and practical requirements, and my own relationship with IOT® and evolution.

When I was little, MTV was new and it wasn’t free. My paper route money was allocated for Guess jeans (think early 80’s) so I took the cable box apart, stripped some wire from an old, stretched out telephone cord in the junk drawer and voila. MTV was in the house. This is the first memory where I can see my mind clearly.
How does this work? Can I take it apart? Make it better? And how do I manage the line between what I know to be right and what I do? (Note: while the know how to get MTV was impressive for a child it didn’t make stealing it right action and I was left with a reconciliation to tend to as an adult.)
It may have started with MTV but today, it’s this same intense curiosity that drives me to understand what it means to be human. And I’m still learning that the line between what I know to be right for me and what I do is the line that allows for separation from myself/God/creation/the Tao/I am and invites suffering, judgement, and sometimes a great adventure.
The path between that cable box and now includes a lot of things. I’ll hit some of the highlights here.
My personal relationship with Inner Organic Technology®
On October 9, 2019 I received my first Reiki session. It began uneventfully and then there was bubbling inside my body like someone had dropped alka seltzer in my blood stream. Then, from out of nowhere, there was an explosion of energy. From the bottom of my feet to the top of my head energy built up and flowed like a volcano. There aren’t words I can find to describe where “I” was or what I experienced in the following minutes. I was left with the words “I met God.” Period. End of sentence.
That energy didn’t leave me. It began to show up in meditations, in stretches, and in my internal narrative. My fingers would form mudras, my body yoga poses, and my perspective expanded and non-judgmental. These were things foreign to me and googling them led me to understand this energy was smart. Way smarter than me. So, I began orienting my life around it. Listening to my body and building a relationship with it. I experienced mystical and transcendent states and “danced with the Holy Spirit” (my words and experience; not anyone elses’) for years alone. There is a fine line between spiritual awakening and pyschosis and I walked it. With Ram Dass, Alan Watts, and an amazing group of humans who shared what they knew and provided me safe space to question, change and unfold, my transformation occurred slowly and with much grace and chaos.
In 2023, I saw a video of a woman on a table whose body was moving like mine did. After a year of my own arrogance and resistance, I reached out and began my education to learn how to access this energy consistently and contribute purposefully. My Inner Organic Technology®, as I now refer to it in business and academia, transformed my life from the inside out. I quit the job I hated, left the relationship that felt unsafe and a lot more you’ll discover later on this page.
I truly believe that if we all really knew ourselves and our own inherent intelligence, the world would be a different place.
Experience and Training
Professionally, there were a dozen jobs, an enlistment in the Air National Guard (Florida, Texas and Nebraska), a 20-year career in the telecom industry (central office technician to AVP), and an 8-year stint in secure identity systems. It was inside of these experiences that I learned large organizations reward individuals who can override their own internal sense of right and wrong for a mission, an annual bonus, or self preservation.
I studied fascia for two years with the Human Garage team. I studied Human Design coaching with Erin Claire Jones and became a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher under the tutelage of Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. I’ve served on the boards of directors of Insight Meditation Fort Wayne and Fort Wayne Pride. It was inside these experiences that I began the way back to myself and aligning my actions with what I knew to be truth within.
Adventures and more…
Sacred ceremonies in the mountains and jungles of Peru have included ayahuasca, kambo, san pedro and probably one or two others.
My son and I worked night patrol at a sea turtle hatchery on a Costa Rican beach and hiked Salkantay Mountain in Peru during a blizzard.
There was CrossFit, a Tough Mudder, the Trans Rockies Run, and the USAF Marathon. I ran. A lot.
We got lost in the Louvre, did parkour on the Seine, and day tripped to London and shut down the Eye (momentarily).
I left Dayton in 1989 and spent a lot of years thinking I was better than my family. It became clear over the years that my memories of them were those of a child. A child who had little perspective, created narratives in the absence of knowledge, and lived inside a lot of victimhood and, hence, judgement.
We aren’t the same people anymore and thank everything that is holy for that. While our actions aren’t always perfect, the Convergence Within community agreement came from walking with these beautiful souls. They are the flowers in my garden.
Today, I am blessed to live full time with my 95-year old mother and have beautiful relationships with my siblings, my kids, my exes, and my friends. The work of knowing myself, practicing to expand my brain and body’s potential, years of amends, and genuine change and maturity have been my entire existence for a decade. Today, I am a free human. A new human. Moving in a different fabric of reality where creativity, conscious participation, and true love accompany me.
