IMPRINT = OUR REACTION TO LIFE’S BUMPS AND THUMPS ENERGY is The interface between The MIND The BODY The SOUL & SPIRIT

10. WHO WE ARE OUR REACTIONS TO LIFE’S PLETHERA OF BUMPS AND THUMPS CREATE OUR INDIVIDUAL Holding PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOR…. OUR IMPRINTS from PRE-NATAL development throughout ADULTHOOD …

11. OUR IMPRINTS Our IMPRINTS are profoundly “stamped” into the memory of our persona…. from our thought processes, to our conscious and sub- conscious emotions and feelings, ultimately manifesting in our trillions of body cells…..making us healthy or dis-eased. Thus, imprinting impacts our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being….our existence…our vitality. Chakra ENERGY is the vehicle which facilitates the connection between our Body, Mind, Soul and Spirit. Mind/Body/Sprit Connection has the power to correct or shift negative imprinting …..LET THE HEALING BEGIN!

12. CHAKRA ENERGY Energy flows through our chakra system from the top of the skull to the tip of the coccyx…the tailbone….. In alignment with our central nervous system.

13. FLOWING HIGH For ultimate wellness we must keep our ENERGY flowing and vibrating at a high frequency …. like the Beautiful…
