2:30 p.m. Traumatic and Etheric Cord Removal with Arch Angel Michael led by Dr. Trish        $22

Arch Angel Michael will take you on a meditation journey of self discovery allowing you to free yourself from the past by removing all etheric cords.
Etheric Cords:  Etheric cords are formed due to lower vibrating energies between two people. These cords look like surgical tubing and extend from the chakra of one person into the chakra of another person with whom you’re in relationship.  These cords are usually formed due to dysfunctional behaviors and emotions.  Energies such as co-dependency, fear, self-sabotage, fear of abandonment, resentment, judgment, unresolved anger and unforgivness can create these cords.  Once a cord is created it will continue to tie you to the other person, thus draining your energy.  It’s an excellent idea to have these cords cut periodically to remain clear and free of unnecessary attachments.  With these cords cut and cauterized the soul is free to move forward along its journey toward higher consciousness.
