Edwin Courtenay
HEAVEN & EARTH
A special 2 hour workshop with Edwin Courtenay exploring how to call upon celestial & terrestrial energies for self healing, boosting intuition & psychic ability & powering up mediumship & channelling.
Life is challenging and demanding. The constant pull on our energy from the needs of our mundane world often leaving us feeling depleted and exhausted. Maintaining our spiritual equilibrium, frequency and vibration during these times becomes difficult - making it hard for us to practice our spiritual craft, rely upon our intuition, maintain our health and well being and advance on our personal spiritual quest.
In this very special two hour lecture Edwin Courtenay - spiritual teacher, clairvoyant, Cunning Man, channel and healer offers for the first time to share his secrets on how to accomplish just this by connecting to the energies of Heaven and Earth.
This practical, immersive, experiential workshop is packed full of exercises, practices and handy hints and tips to help those who participate …
• Clear and keep open their chakras, energy channels and meridians
• How to connect with Teluric Energy - the energy of the Earth - for personal physical energy and healing
• How to connect with Celestial Energy - the energy of the heavens - to strengthen and sharpen intuition and channelling skills
.• How to use astronomical and astrological events for personal well being and gain
• How to activate the guarding and guiding principles of the Guardian Angel
• AND how to boost and strengthen others without diminishing your own power
Perfect for working sensitives, psychics and healers or simply those endeavouring to navigate their way through our troubled and very busy world whilst keeping their spirituality and personal well being moving forwards.
