REIKI (Ray-Kee) INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS: If you have Stress (and who doesn't!?); physical challenges; emotional and/or spiritual confusion, grief or discontent- or just need to experience peace and relaxation, you will want to try a Reiki session. A Reiki treatment will induce a profound state of relaxation. Reiki supports and encourages a natural state of balance within you. Reiki will compliment any of your other medical or natural therapies and is an excellent preventative measure to maintain good health. Reiki is not used to diagnose or treat specific conditions as it encourages coherence in the entire body/mind/spirit state. Not practiced as a religion, Reiki will not be in conflict with your belief system. In fact, all find Reiki to induce a spiritual peace. You receive your treatment fully clothed and relaxing on a comfortable massage table. No manipulation is used, but simple light touch and your practitioner's attention gives you a most powerful and peaceful healing interval. My Reiki session include a preliminary talk, a full body Reiki session (on the heated Bio-Mat if desired), energy balance and grounding and takes about an hour. The cost is $50. ( Special Reiki price package available for recurring appointments. Special arrangements can be made for financial need. ) I work day and evenings by appointment and some Saturdays. Reiki can also be performed with the receiver sitting in a chair or at a bedside. Distance Reiki is also available and quite effective for those who cannot be present in person. Distance Reiki is wonderful for those hospitalized or homebound as well. Call for more details.

PERSONAL ANGEL MESSAGES - Who doesn't love to hear from their angels? The high spiritual essence of the angelic realm holds your best interests at heart. As you travel through your human life, you draw to you the specific angelic presence that you require for support, healing and guidance. If you desire to receive an intuited message from one of those heavenly energies, I can facilitate that for you. I will connect to you and bring through a message from a specific Angel. You will get an Angel name and meaning, along with a personal Angel inspired message. If you need an Angel pick-me-up, request your Angel Message today! e mail me at energyconnect1@aol.com Cost is $25

PRAYER WORK - Communication and enrichment is always available through the Spiritual Self. Working with specifically focused prayers to encourage the healing path of whatever is challenging you is something I enjoy. In an individual session we can focus prayer for your expressed needs as well as bringing in supporting Divine Light to enhance and surround all that you are and all that you do. This work is especially nourishing and uplifting. You can be assured that you are safely embraced by the Light and in the unconditional nature of the Divine. Individual Sessions are priced the same as a Reiki session and can be combined if desired. Group Prayer Sessions are also available and regularly scheduled. If you desire to get your own group together or have a group intention or need that you want to concentrate on, please contact me. I can create specific prayers just for you, based upon your needs and inspired by Light.

CHAKRA BALANCING - The knowledge of the Chakra Energy System is rooted in ancient esoteric teachings yet remains a relevant and important modern vehicle for your healing. The Chakras (Wheels of Energy) are located invisibly within the human body and effect the organs, nervous system, emotional and spiritual balance as well as being receptacles of fundamental experiences that form your life attitudes and beliefs. A balanced Chakra s ystem is valuable and essential component to affect your general state of well being as well as creating a rapid pathway for healing potential, whether it is a challenge in the physical body; or a question of emotional or spiritual significance I have worked extensively in the Chakra energy both as an intuitive (wherein I can sense and communicate with your energy) in addition to developing and practicing specific chakra balancing techniques that speak directly to your individual needs. I do my Chakra work in several different ways; from a basic balancing to an in-depth written assessment. I also do intuitive communication with your Chakras when you have a reading. Please contact me to discuss your needs. Basic $50 (Get to know your Chakra system through our Chakra self development classes for beginners onward. Check our calendar.)

AURA CLEANSING AND BALANCING - A personal Cleansing & Balancing is included in a typical Reiki Session; or if I sense a greater need for Aura Repair or Grounding, I will specifically address it. The deepest healing and repair is called a Basic Grid Healing and focuses on the fundamental energy grid that supports the other bio-field energies. The Basic Grid Healing often shifts long held or restricted energy that may be keeping a person in a chronic state of dysfunction. If you feel you are in need of assistance, please come in for an assessment. For general knowledge it is to everyone's advantage to know how to maintain on your own, a clear, cleansed and protected aura space and grounded energy state. Please put our Energy and Aura Management Class on your to do list. Check the calendar for the next scheduled date. This is a very popular class as the methods are clear and easy to use for anyone, without regard for experience or knowledge of the Aura. You will love its effect in your life!

PAST LIFE WORK - I think everyone likes to understand themselves better. We are intrigued with the idea of the continuation of the soul's experience from one lifetime to another. What does our past have to tell us to help us in our present? I explore this concept by two methods. One is the GROUP PAST LIFE PARTY… and I call this a party because it is meant as a fun and entertaining group event. Gather 6 to 8 of your family or friends and come to the Center where I will verbally sketch a past life for each of you as I get the information from your Past Life "Rolodex"…they can be serious or hilarious. They can point out traits, attitudes, fears, likes, relationships and more as you listen to your story. Call me to set up your group. $30 per person. Minimum 5, Maximum 8.

PAST LIFE PROFILE - AN ORIGINAL AND UNIQUE PROCESS - This is an in-depth, well considered and intuited past life profile which I send to you by e-mail or snail mail when completed. The profiles are usually in excess of 1,000 words and go into quite a lot of detail about one of your past lifetimes which I retrieve intuitively. It will encompass that lifetime's experiences and how they affected you then (and what affect they may still have) and who was with you in that lifetime. My clients have said they received a profound understanding of themselves via this method and feel they got answers to life long questions they were holding inside. This is not a computer generated program…I do each profile personally. You can e mail me through this mailbox- energyconnect1@aol.com- and I will send you preliminary information and instructions. The fee for the individual Profile is $70

COUNSELING AND READINGS - I have been giving intuitive readings and spiritual counseling for many years. I am primarily an interpreter of the emotional and subtle energy you are broadcasting as well as receiving wisdom from those spiritual guides and angels that surround and support you. I offer clarity and perspective for your consideration by sharing information I sense, see, hear and feel. I try to get to the heart of the matter so that you can rapidly gain an empowered state of being. My readings are not easily categorized as they always evolve in your presence and I trust the information that I am sensing is what you are destined to hear. It is not my philosophy to specifically predict events as we are all subject to free will and the movement of our intentions, but I can aid you in achieving the path of least resistance toward your goals. If you are seeking direction and perspective I would be happy to serve you. I work only in the Light and for your betterment, and connect only to that intention. By appointment. $60 hour. Feel free to tape our session but I do not do so myself. In person or by phone. I prefer to do your first session in person if you are based locally, so that we can blend energies and get connected; thereafter I can offer phone or e mail readings if so desired. All interaction is confidential and your privacy is respected.

SPIRIT/ANGEL MESSAGE GROUP - We regularly hold these at the Center, check the calendar for the next scheduled event. Each participant is given an individual message from the Light during this group meeting. Messages are for guidance and support and are presented for your betterment. Each group is limited to 8 participants. Join the next scheduled event or get your own group together and let us schedule one for you. $25 per person (outside events, add $5 per)
