Christy Coote, Broken Arrow Healing

On Wednesday, May 9th, Shamanic Energy Practitioner Christy Coote will hold a workshop on healing. Shamanism is an ancient form of spiritual healing; it involves working with the individual's energy field at a very deep level. It recognizes no boundaries between the physical and spiritual world and it encompasses the belief that shamans are intermediaries between the human and the spirit world, until such a time as an intermediary is no longer required.

"My friend, know that anything that diverts you from your own inner-power is given your power. To claim your own power once more; you must reclaim your responsibility for your own happiness from this moment on, and direct your energy there in a positive light. If you seek it, you will find it!

I bless your journey and remember that you cannot be in the presence of your own inner-power and spirit and feel anything but ‘Love', it is impossible! May the great spirit watch over you always."
