AWAKENING MEDITATIONS
Ric Weinman
Course 3702-039/Tuition $335 ($300 Members)
Guided by the founder of VortexHealing® Divine Energy Healing, Ric Weinman, you work with several meditations intended to guide you deeper into the core of your own being and help you shed layers of egoic identity. These kinds of meditations are not designed for relaxation, but rather to help you move through the construct of what you have experienced and identified with as “self” and awaken into a deeper reality.
Facilitating awakening requires more than sharing awakening concepts and leading guided meditations. True facilitation also involves actively and directly bridging others into the awake space residing within themselves— the space where “I” disappears into something vaster and beyond mind.
Ric Weinman has been facilitating awakening with his VortexHealing students for more than 20 years, utilizing the divine presence and intelligence within that lineage, and the bridging it facilitates.
Ric Weinman is the founder of VortexHealing® Divine Energy Healing and the author of several books, including Awakening Through the Veils vortexhealing.org
