Light Bath * Breathwork * Reiki
Wednesday, October 30 at 7 pm. Friday, November 29 and Monday, December 30 at 6 pm. $30 (sliding scale available).
Antonia & Roger, gifted Intuitive Healers, will guide you through a soulful Light bath, in combination with Breathwork. You will elevate your frequency and experience cellular-level healing.
The Light Codes, conveyed through sound, symbols, and breath, communicate on a multidimensional level, resonating deeply with your heart, soul, and light body.
Though not consciously understood, these codes are familiar at a soul level, facilitating profound healing, DNA activation, and the awakening of dormant gifts.
In these 90-minute sessions, you will be immersed in ethereal sounds that will support you on a journey of inner truth insight and experience that many describe as transcending earthly realms.
The sound combined with breathwork will induce a deep meditative state, detoxifying your energy field and harmonizing your physical body.
As energy buzzes through your chakras, you’ll feel emotional blockages clear from your body and energy field.
Roger and Antonia's intuitive reading of the room's energy amplifies the benefits, allowing participants to physically feel the energy and elevate their consciousness.
Antonia enhances the session by infusing the space with Reiki hands on healing.
