Over the past 30 years we have seen an explosion of information that demonstrates the connection between spirituality and science. Up until that point these two important aspects of daily life were viewed as separate and distinct. We are now growing in awareness of ourselves as much more than physical beings who are born, live and die in one lifetime. Increasingly, the notion that we are spiritual beings on a human journey is being more readily accepted. We are recognizing ourselves as beings with multiple aspects, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual and seeing the connection of these aspects in regards to our overall health and ability to heal.
Catherine Ewing, founder of Reawaken Your Dreamer, has spent the last 25 years studying the mind/body/spirit connection. Her passion is to assist others to recognize themselves as spiritual beings and learn to use spiritual practices to heal emotional wounds and their physical manifestations, release limiting beliefs, master their psychology, and move into lives of greater joy, authenticity and purpose.
