268 Nov. 6 Atlantean Healing Session 12:30-2:30PM $40
With Shawn Waechter & Karen Egoff
Join Shawn Waechter for a group Atlantean Healing Session. Shawn has been doing private sessions with clients for 11 yrs. The sessions use a light machine Dr Charles Mc Williams of Nevis W.I. developed. These sessions often involved accessing past lives, other realms, times and places thought to be fantasy. A couple of years ago while doing a session, a group of 7 Atlanteans presented themselves. They live in Atlantis in a healing temple. Each time this same client had a session, the same group of 7 healers appeared. Eventually commmunication began. The Atlanteans said they are the healers through the heart for the cosmos. They have a special crystal light machine to send healing energy through the different planes of existence. The Atlanteans cannot interfere with our choices. However they will assist with healing.
Shawn said, “Almost a year ago we began taking peoples, non-physical body to the Atlantean Healers. The Healers do whatever treatment would best suit the person, and often give a recommendation. Many people have been helped. They tell us that mankind evolved on the wrong path. Our DNA structure is very complicated. They cannot interfere with the lessons we are to learn, however they are allowed do some healing from their realm to assist us. The Atlanteans have given us a program to follow for better health and wellbeing. They have also given us information about our time, and the upcoming change in 2012-2014. They say it will be peace after that. It is about time.”

Therapeutic Touch (TT) is a regulated, complementary healing modality that is recognized in Ontario as a nursing skill. Created by Dr. Krieger and Dora Kunz in the 70’s – this therapy has been developed in Universities and Hospitals with impeccable integrity and repeated studies showing consistent results for the last 30 years. TT works whether or not the recipient is aware of receiving it.
TT lowers pain, speeds up recovery time, reduces side effects of medications and procedures, reduces depression, increases immunity, and gives one a sense of well being. This profoundly simple, cost effective tool is one that anyone can learn.
In level one we explore the history, assumptions, concepts, and effects of TT, as well as do exercises to help you experience your own energy field, as well as that of others. Finally we will study the 4 stages of TT, and practice giving and receiving.
