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. Date Last Modified 01/31/2009 Continuing Education course, Course curriculum
