Personal Awareness Course ~ Phil Davies. Friday nights 15th, 22nd, 29th September, 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th October 3rd November. Time 7.15 ~ 9.30pm Fee: Total HK$800 inclusive/person. Phil Davies' knowledge of energy, and the various ways in which he has been able to link with spirit, has given him a unique understanding, as well as the ability to relate to the many ways people can develop their senses. These factors make it possible for him to offer constructive advice on how to nurture these senses. There is much more to the world than meets the eye. Everything we see within this world also holds several subtle bodies. To most of us they lie hidden; to some they are visible and are called the AURA. The different vibrations of these subtle bodies are easily tuned into, and once you have learnt to read them the information can be utilized for our greater knowledge, overall health and wellbeing. As well as being more aware of our own energies, we are able in turn to apply this knowledge to 'tuning' into the subtle energies of others, so that we may become more aware of the needs of our friends, or the animal and Plant kingdoms. This psychic information is not something that is limited to a 'special' few, it is the forgotten ability of the many and an ability waiting to be reclaimed.Reservation necessary.
