Feb 17th 2025  Healing Energies - Erik Punaks

. A wide range of therapeutic approaches accept the idea that there is an ‘invisible’ anatomy of energies working in conjunction with our physical body. You may have come across this idea through Reiki, Acupuncture, Yoga and forms of Eastern medicine -  and the use of words like ‘aura’ and ‘chakras’.  In this talk I give an outline of this model, and some explanation of how an understanding may contribute to one’s health and harmony.
