ayan shaman and spiritual reader Profesora Sorayda now offers new Reiki Sound, a healing art based on the channeling and transmission of universal energy by means of laying on of the hands. Sorayda uses Reiki Sound “to harmonize our physical and spiritual beings” and to promote positivity, relaxation and good health. “It is a way to recover inner power by connecting to the source by means of the presence I AM, producing a deep sense of peace,” she says. “It is a way of working energetically; starting with the premise that we are all geometry, color and sound. We draw, visualize and sing symbols. Sound is used consciously to give more power and depth to healing.” According to Sorayda, “Reiki Sound brings a very deep level of wholeness and well-being. When a person undergoes a session, they take into themselves energy and its maximum vibration to beneficial effects. It’s very effective for stressrelated disorders such as anxiety and depression.” For more information call 702-5562900 or email Sorayda@live.com. See ad, page 31.
