From Fire to Phoenix

I’ve lived through what most wouldn’t survive. Now I guide others into their own resurrection.

PHOENIX OF MANA

Hawaiian Roots

I was born and raised in Hawai‘i, where the concept of mana — life force — is woven into everything.

It taught me that true power isn’t about domination, it’s about alignment with spirit, nature, and sovereignty.

These roots shaped the Phoenix of Mana. The resilience of the islands and the fire of the volcano became the foundation for my work: helping people reclaim their power, their clarity, and their life force.

Survival Story

At 16, I survived cancer. Later, multiple strokes. Then, organ failure. And finally, 17 minutes without a pulse.

I’ve died — and come back. Not once, but again and again.

Each time, I returned with a deeper knowing: we can dissolve what holds us back, and rise renewed.

This isn’t theory. It’s lived proof.

It’s the blueprint I now share through the Phoenix of Mana.

Trauma as the Root of Disease

A curated collection of expert perspectives demonstrating how emotional wounds can ripple through every aspect of health. This section serves as a bridge between science and lived experience, showing that healing the body often begins with healing the heart and mind.

There are photos from that time — images I never thought I’d share. I didn’t want anyone to see me like that: not the strong, vibrant, powerful man they once knew.

But I see it differently now.

“These weren’t moments of weakness. They were the passageways to power.”

Because I didn’t just heal — I resurrected.

That journey became the living blueprint behind Phoenix of Mana — a platform built not on theory, but on raw truth, embodied transformation, and the will to live when life tells you you shouldn’t.

Today, I help others access that same resurrection within themselves. The ones who are quietly breaking. The ones who have survived things they’ve never spoken out loud. The ones who need to be reminded that peace isn’t the end goal — it’s the beginning of everything.

This is what I teach. This is what I embody. And this is what I invite you into.

I’m Ray Johnston. And I’m still here.

Peace isn’t passive. This is what it looked like for me.

These days… healing looks like this.

Phoenix of Mana Brand Story

The Phoenix is the symbol of my life — fire, destruction, and rebirth.
The volcano represents the raw force of transformation.

Even the number 17, which marked the minutes I spent clinically dead, became a guidepost in my work. It reminds me that every ending carries the seed of resurrection.

Phoenix of Mana is more than a name.

It’s a lived blueprint for return.
