Christmas gift suggestion: Healing with Spirit
With sincere intent, it is possible to heal with spirit!
The ancient Chinese called the spirit energy, “chi.” In the nineteenth century, this force was
termed the “astral light” by theosophists, “animal magnetism” by Doctor Franz Anton Mesmer, and now bioenergy. Native Americans, psychics, and mediums have achieved remarkable healings with the intervention of spirit entities. Author: Elaine Kuzmeskus
