We welcome Kyson Kidd, Energy Healing Extraordinaire, to the show in this episode. We originally heard about energy healing and scoffed at it a little because it sounded a little hokey. Boy were we wrong. Kyson invites Collin and Michael to look deep inside and answer some tough questions. Maybe these questions will be tough for you too as you answer them for yourself.

Here's the video we discussed in this episode. It's less than two minutes, but worth every second.

Here's Kyson's various pages. Go give him a look!
