    It is definitely a skill not a spiritual manifestation and helpful to energy workers, readers and in any job where knowing more about a persons character or motivation is beneficial.

    The stages of personal development are pretty clear but not so easy, we will go up and down, backward and forward many times during that journey and even after we feel we have arrived.

  • How to release effectively

    Focusing on what you want to let go is it necessarily helpful as it can become a focus on the very thing that your tying yourself to.

    Is life stagnating really or is your mindset preventing you from seeing opportunities and process that leads to progress.

    At its core resistence is about an inner self trying to assert knowledge and us refusing to acknowledge it. Others will tell us over the years and we will not like them for it or we will grow and say,, 'yes, yes I do that'

  • Karma and Reincarnation

    The good the bad and the ugly. When belief rules the oberver becomes unreliable.

  • Regression Therapy

    How does it work and is it for you?
