Sri-Gian Khalsa 

 

"My real joy is in helping people unknot their predicaments, so they can more easily live the pure fullness of Life that their infinitely unique, bright, rich and powerful Souls yearn to express!"

Since 1991, Siri-Gian has facilitated energetic healing along with these intuitive readings—both are natural gifts.  For several years, she headed up a wellness center, and subsequently traveled regularly both in the USA and internationally to Canada, Japan and the Caribbean to successfully give thousands of these intuitive readings, coupled with energetic healing and regression therapy, plus lead Kundalini Yoga workshops. Now, she is happily based 20 miles north of Santa Fe in the rural country near Espanola, NM.  She would be very happy to see you for in-depth healing in her home and have you stroll and heal in her lovely gardens.

 

About her services... A Transformational Energy Healing offers you the opportunity to heal from your very Soul!  Siri-Gian uses subtle healing energy, intuitive information, and regression healing therapy, along with lots of good humor and kindness to effect healing for your mind, body and Soul! In her sessions, you will talk a bit first to give the gist of your healing objectives and to get to know one another.  Then you will lie on a massage table while she first pushes on various areas of your body, especially on your heart.  This is akin to acupressure, and helps to move and release stuck or slow moving subtle energy in your system.  Then she begins to talk with you from what she "hears" and "sees" about you  to pinpoint your difficulties.  She "reads" your own personal information that is embedded in your energetic system and talks with you about it, being sure that you only believe what surely feels right to you. Next she assists you to let go of old pains and mental patterns that do not serve you now, and help you develop a much more supportive outlook, along with successful methods of accomplishing your life from the very depth of you!  And she helps you to learn to live from the guidance from your very own Soul!
