Meditations

1. Inner Child Integration to gain access to fractured pieces of self, frozen in PAST trauma moments; 

to allow somatic processing of the event; and to integrate past self with current self. 

2. Experience Your Divine Light & Love – Breath & Meditation

Discover Your Breath. Feel Your Breath. Trust Your Breath. Allow Your Breath to Connect You to the depths of YOU… And with Your Breath, Discover Your Inner Light! Breath delivers oxygen; Oxygen is essential in the creation of energy molecules (ATP) in your cells; Energy molecules create Sparks of Light. Breath IS Light. Connect with the Breath that flows through You. Allow this Breath to Ignite Your Inner Light. Feel the warmth and Love that IS Your Light. Allow Your Breath to Expand Your Light, as You Explore and Experience Your Inner World AND Your Outer World.  Allow Your Breath to CONNECT You to Your Inner world and Your Outer World.
