A Radiance Journey of Rejuvenation: Meditation with Deirdre Hade
Location: Graholm Living Room
Welcome to an immersive experience in Radiance Healing. During these 60 minutes, you will receive a soothing guided meditation with crystal healing sound bowls and essential oils.
During your Radiance experience, you will feel the burdens and heaviness of life being lifted off of you. Answers to longing questions will emerge. You will feel surrender and a deep inner sense of peace. Anxiety will melt away. Joy returns.
You will be bathed in the subtle energies of a Golden Presence, this is the divine feminine in all Her Wisdom. She has been known throughout time as the Shekinah, Pistis Sophia, Isis, Mary, and the ancient Mother Creator Goddess, Inanna. Throughout time, this feminine presence has emerged or been submerged. Even in our technical secular world She is still here. Truthfully She has never left us. She is Wisdom. She is the deep knowing of our inner feminine power. She is the foundational principle of intuition, wisdom, intelligence, and healing (all attributes of love). She is relationship. And when we rediscover Her we enter into our infinite potential. She is the power to manifest, move mountains, and heal wounds.
So prepare to relax, set your intention, and rest in the healing energies of Radiance. I look forward to our time together.
Love, Deirdre
