Who are The Guides?
The Guides are a group energy, pure spirit.  They have never given me a name, so I call them The Guides, because that’s what they are: beings that come with perfect guidance for each of us.  This is what, in their own words, they say about themselves:

“It is not our purpose to take from you your power to manifest your life.  It is our purpose to introduce you
to truths about yourself, that you may then go beyond the limits of those truths, or expand them into more.

It is our job to make certain that you have
what you need to be the powerful
manifesting entities that you came here to be.”

How does it work?  (or How do you do that?!)

Does it hurt?
I notice your body tenses and jerks a bit, especially when the session ends and you come back.  It looks scary and painful.  Is it?
