Art of Ascension

Primary Author: Eileen Dunn, warmy eileen

Every death is unique. While the emotional and spiritual needs of the families undergoing this process are undoubtedly complex, the language of energy helps to bring a universal understanding to the sacred process of dying. Guided by a map of the chakras, you will learn to recognize the physical stages of a spiritual transition, establishing the connection between the family and the dying individual. Through the complementary tools of massage, aromatherapy, music, and visualization, you create a sacred space for the dying.

Through self-reflection, the reader begins to explore his or her own inner world and beliefs. As healers, we are truly sacred messengers, journeying with our patients between the earthly and spiritual realms.
