Sound and Energy Healing as a Career | Preeta Pradhan | #TGV228

“A person does not hear sound only through the ears; he hears sound through every pore of the body. It permeates the entire being, and according to its particular influence, either slows or quickens the rhythm of the blood circulation; it either awakens or soothes the nervous system”~Hazrat Inayat Khan

0:31:30 TRIVIA ABOUT Energy Healing 

ABOUT THE GUEST (Preeta Pradhan):Today a Personal Life Coach for personal growth & transformation, She has literally discovered this path as she lifted herself out of a dark space in her personal life. To suffer is a choice and one can choose not to.....was a revelation. Seeing someone in a similar place, or living under the illusion that suffering is not her reality by denying to acknowledge it is something she finds impossible.  It's her life's purpose to make each person free from any kind of emotional bondage by walking through it - not by ignoring it.  And while tools and techniques are effective, Sound & Energy are magical. What a session in Sound can achieve, effortlessly...takes much work when done using the cognitive mind. From a Computer Programmer in 1985 to a Coach & Healer in 2020, decidedly it's been a ride for her. Re-invention has been her identity.
