Additional text
“Among other exercises, with solid back-up discussion and space for self-reflection, are ones to sense the hand-heart energy circuit and Earth energies, to counter stress and negativity, to become one with your breath, to focus the mind, to increase creativity and to vocalize the sacred. Angelo helps us reconnect with our true selves and nature’s energies in a simple yet profound way.”
