Ishti

Tarot and Oracle Readings • Being conscious of creating our lives is a co-creative process, when we tap into our Divine energies. We all want to see our lives in Love and Harmony. Bringing loving kindness and compassion to our environment and all who share that bubble. It can be so very important to remember who we are and what we are doing here. Sometimes a way into this powerful growing can come from understanding ourselves through a reading. My readings are an expression of you. No matter what you might think you need to know, your Guides, Teachers, and Soul have a direct message to tell you. My orientation is just that. Let’s discover together. I have been reading Tarot Cards for most of my life. There was a time when I owned a New Age store and yoga studio. My background has deep roots in Buddhism, Hinduism and just plain waking up to the Christ Consciousness we are all a part of.

Elizabeth Brito

We are all healers within ourselves. I believe that we often need assistance in the healing process. I provide that assistance by setting three clear intentions for your session: To open up your heart, (specifically from the back, between your shoulder blades), to release all of the low frequency energy around you and to fill you back up with divine love and gratitude. I do this by creating a safe, sacred, loving space for your personalized healing session. I intuitively personalize each healing session by integrating intentional physical and energetic work using Massage, Reiki, Essential Oils, Oracle Cards and Sound. I like to work with people on many levels, helping them to heal their physical, mental, biological, auric and etheric bodies. I am able to show the physical and emotional connection, which leads to stress and disease. The number one cause of all disease is inflammation. The number one cause of all inflammation is stress. I help release that stress. I believe that our bodies are like musical instruments that play the tune of grace and harmony. My healing sessions help to attune you to your higher self to strengthen that connection, and bring you back into your true, divine self.
