WHAT IS ENERGETIC HEALING?
Energetic Healing is a holistic practice that activates the body’s subtle energy systems to remove blocks. By breaking through these energetic blocks, the body’s inherent ability to heal itself is stimulated. Energetic Healing utilizes energy circuits in our physical or subtle bodies to regain balance and facilitate our body’s innate healing mechanisms. Energetic healing can also help to identify ‘issues’ before they manifest as pain or similar distortions in the physical body.
WHAT IS THE AKASHA OR AN AKASHIC READING?
The Akasha is the energetic field of All That Is. An Akashic reading is essentially a reading of your soul’s records including what your soul came to do in this lifetime (your life’s purpose). We are all here to do something important, critical, magical, and transformational. Accessing one’s Akashic records is one way of gaining clarity about one’s life purpose / mission, as well as the life lessons we came to learn and teach.
