Zero Therapie: starting with nothing.. approaching nothing..reaching a state of nothingness

Zero Therapie
starting with nothing.. approaching nothing..
...reaching a state of nothingness

 

Zero therapie helps transport into the state of – ‘Conscious mind & sleeping body’. Operating from nothingness … approaching nothingness … reaching a state of nothingness.

It is a holistic healing therapie in which a person is transported deep into a meditative state by the gentle exploration of the skull by the healer. This begins the process of finding physical as well as mental/emotional blocks that one is carrying in life and thus releasing them from the brain. Simultaneous release happens in the affected part of the body in the form of a jerk, itch, sliding movement, emotional release etc.

This therapie can help in restoring, improving & maintaining general well-being.

About the Healers:

Anjana is a healer who finds herself deeply connected with nature. Right now she runs Bach Flower Clinic called TRANSFORMATION and works mostly with persons with special needs. She is also into “ZERO THERAPIE” which is in line with Non-doing Philosophy.

Prem Deepak has more than 12 years of experience of various healing modalities of body Energy and esoteric work.  He came across this healing system which works on the NON DOING approach but heals deeply just by gently exploring the skull area and named it ZERO THERAPIE.

Details:

Every Saturday

Duration of a Session : 2-3 hours

Healers available for a session between 1.00 PM - 4.00 PM
