"The special weekend you so ably organized to
Mt. Shasta was one of the best personal growth trips I have ever been on. How good can it get - not only did I have fun, I also really enjoyed the magical crystal
bowl concert, the restorative morning at Stewart Mineral Springs, and, of course, all of your
inspiring rituals that led to great spiritual experiences. Thank you so much Jan,
sign me up for the next one.Sue H 10/10/09
I have heard her music-like some other realm...and when following her guided meditation recently I do believe I was "hit by lightning" or something similar was stimulated in my forebrain. She uses quantum physics and the energy fields of our vibrations and frequencies to heal with sound. I think you should all know about Jan Cercone and the work she does with sound at her Sound Healing Studio in Novato.
