Law of Attraction Discussion Group — Visualization exercises in LOA
Dec 23 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Online
Law of Attraction (LOA) is a powerful guideline that can be utilized within our lives, and impacts ourselves as well as the collective consciousness. Let’s discuss practical, everyday ways we use and apply these tools in 2020! This session’s discussion will be, “Visualization exercises in LOA.” No advance prep, reading or knowledge required. Come with an open mind and heart, free of judgement, and let’s learn together! This is an inclusive, informal, interactive discussion for people will all levels of LOA understanding.

Some other topics we will cover in future discussions include:
– How to utilize LOA to manifest best case scenarios
– Gratitude practices as a tool in manifestation
– Honoring your own feelings, emotions and well being (and others) as a form of self care while manifesting
– Staying grounded, avoiding toxic positivity and spiritual bypassing when manifesting
– Visualization exercises in LOA
– Manifesting on specific themes (love, money, good health, etc.)

Discussions will be held by Kathryn Brahaney, myself. I’ve utilized Law of Attraction in having a significantly better recovery than anticipated from two major car accidents, in receiving a job offer that allowed me to relocate to Asheville, NC (where I live now) and in finding my favorite apartment to date in a city I wasn’t sure would be in my budget. I started these discussions to share my experience using Law of Attraction and to provide opportunities to learn more that are accessible and affordable. Looking forward to sharing more with you all and chatting about how we can use LOA in navigating the rest of 2020 and beyond!

Reiki Healing Experience

Join us to soak in the beautiful healing energy of Reiki!
With so much happening in the world around us – it’s so important to create time and space for us to come back home to ourselves.
In this Reiki session, there is nothing for you “to do” but just relax and receive.
The Reiki energy is intuitively guided and knows exactly what you specifically need in each moment to feel at peace, calm, and whole.
And where two or more are gathered – this energy is amplified!
Looking forward to being together & sharing in this beautiful field.
This is a free event. Donations are always welcomed if you feel called: Venmo @Callie or PayPal [email protected]
ALL ARE WELCOME! See you soon
