Awakening

The process of remembering our true nature as beings of love and light, recognizing our connection with the Divine Source and all of creation.

Healing

The restoration of wholeness and balance in body, mind, and spirit. True healing is not merely the absence of symptoms, but the alignment with one's divine nature and purpose.

Forgiveness

The release of resentment, judgment, and grievances. A sacred act that frees both the forgiver and the forgiven, allowing divine love to flow unobstructed.

Channel

A person who allows divine energy, wisdom, or healing power to flow through them without obstruction. One who serves as a conduit for spiritual forces.

Christ Consciousness

A state of awareness characterized by unconditional love, unity with all beings, and recognition of the divine presence in all things. The consciousness Jesus embodied and taught.

Catalyst

Experiences, challenges, or events that stimulate spiritual growth and learning. Opportunities for transformation disguised as difficulties.

Crystallization

The process of clarifying and strengthening one's spiritual essence through practice, choice, and dedication. The refinement of the soul through intentional living.

Desire

The yearning of the soul toward growth, love, and reunion with the Divine. Sacred longing that propels spiritual evolution.

Energy Body

The subtle, non-physical aspect of a being composed of vital life force. This includes the aura, chakras, and meridian systems through which healing energy flows.

Energy Centers

Points in the energy body (chakras) where spiritual, emotional, and physical energies converge. These centers process and distribute life force throughout the being.

Faith

Trust in divine love and wisdom beyond what the physical senses can perceive. The willingness to remain open to spiritual truth and guidance.

Free Will

The sacred gift of choice given to all beings. The ability to choose love or fear, service or separation, in each moment.

Inner Planes

Non-physical dimensions of existence where consciousness operates beyond the physical body. Realms of spirit, thought, and energy accessible through meditation and spiritual practice.

Karma

The spiritual law of cause and effect. Not punishment, but the natural balancing of energies and opportunities for learning from our choices.

Light Touch

A gentle, respectful approach to healing that honors the free will and sovereignty of the one receiving healing. Working with subtle energies rather than force.

Meditation

The practice of quieting the mind and opening the heart to receive divine guidance and healing. A sacred space of communion with the Source.

Polarity

The existence of apparent opposites (light/dark, positive/negative, service to others/service to self) that create the dynamic tension necessary for growth and choice.

Prana

The universal life force energy that sustains all living beings. Also known as chi, ki, or vital energy. The breath of the Divine that animates creation.

Service

The offering of one's gifts, energy, and presence for the benefit of others and the greater good. Love made visible through action.

Will

The faculty of conscious choice and directed intention. When aligned with divine will, it becomes a powerful force for healing and transformation.
