Join us for the Winter solstice as Neil and the Divine Light healers guide you through a highly effective technique to receive spiritual energy to heal and transform your life. Whether you are seeking a physical, mental or emotional transformation, Divine Light healing is a full-spectrum aura therapy. This month, we will focus on the cornerstone of all healing—love. A great number of physical distresses can be traced back to a lack of loving energy in the auric field. The nucleus of loving expression in the physical body is the heart. Not only does the heart circulate blood, it distributes loving vibrations through the body. We will work with a special spiritual energy ray that has been uniquely designed to help heal and strengthen the heart, as well help to distribute love through the body to relieve illness and distresses that are direct results of heartaches and lack of love. The evening will consist of: A presentation on how to work with spiritual energy to bring more love into your relationship and your life. You will be seated in small groups of 3 recipients per Certified Healer, each with a minimum of 5 years of metaphysical training. Specific divine light rays will be directed into your chakras to release negative energies. The divine light will then be used to uplift your consciousness wherever it is needed. The healers will then work on your nervous system to release blockages and revitalize your nerve body. Drawing on a 4,000 year mystical tradition and built on the clairvoyant experiences of Barbara Y. Martin and Dimitri Moraitis over five decades, these aura healing techniques have been endorsed by medical luminaries C. Norman Shealy and Dr. Richard Gerber. “Spiritual energy is the single biggest key to building and sustaining health, because it connects you to your source of health.” Barbara Martin & Dimitri Moraitis The Healing Power of Your Aura Neil is a certified Divine Light Teacher and healer through Spiritual Arts Institute having studied at the Institute for over 15 years.
