Have You Ever Just Known Something?

A dream. A feeling. A knowing that surprised you.

Most people don’t realize how easy it can be to reach the deeper parts of the mind. The real benefit comes from learning how to use what you discover to help yourself heal. Your Ideal helps guide you toward what truly supports your growth.

As Cayce put it:
“So with thy body, thy mind, thy soul. It is dependent upon the tuning – whether with the infinite or with self, or with worldly wisdom. For these, to be sure, become the mysteries of life to some – the mysteries of attuning. What seek ye?” (2072-10)

Develop: Discernment as a spiritual skill, to better support body, mind, and spirit
Discover: Your Ideal as a healing compass

Spa Package and Research Study

The Psychic Awareness for Healing program includes a Spa Package designed to support transformation of body, mind, and spirit. It’s a key part of the in-person experience and included in the cost of registration. It starts with our signature Cayce/Reilly® massage is a blend of Swedish, osteopathic, and neuropathic techniques that promotes relaxation, improves circulation, eases muscle tension, and encourages the body’s natural detoxification.

The package also includes integrative chiropractic care from Dr. Cathy Good, combining gentle spinal adjustments with Cayce/Reilly massage to improve alignment, release tension, and balance the nervous system. Finally, the Spa Package includes a one-on-one session with Licensed Professional Counselor Betty Davis to help you process Saturday morning’s group hypnosis regression. Betty offers compassionate support for stress, anxiety, grief, relationships, and personal growth.

Everyone participating in Psychic Awareness for Healing – face-to-face participants in Virginia Beach, as well as those taking the program online – is invited to be part of an innovative research study, which is a new effort of the Tarsia Center for Inner Transformation and Healing. Your engagement in the research is optional, and Dr. Thurston will explain the opportunity during the orientation on Friday afternoon. We’re finding ways through the Tarsia Center to put the “R” (Research) back into the “A.R.E.,” and you can choose to be part of this exploration of how integrative approaches to healing and transformation work most effectively.
