 Spiritual Mentoring

In the Celtic tradition, spiritual mentoring is provided by the "Anam Cara" or "soul friend". An Anam Cara is a spiritual director who helps you recognize the presence of the Divine within  you and  in the world around you. "An Anam Cara sees beyond your personality to remind you of the Divinity within. An Anam Cara listens without judgment. An Anam Cara takes you to the source of your being". ("Anam Cara, A Book of Celtic Wisdom" by John O'Donohue) "

An anam cara serves as a guide on the path of spiritual growth and works to assist you in deepening your relationship with the Divine in the process of inner transformation. This is accomplished by a process of dialoguing and questioning which invites inner reflection and the development of a new point of view. You will be offered suggestions for connecting with the Divine in both ancient and contemporary ways.

 Healing Hands

 In the Celtic tradition, the body is in the soul which reaches out beyond the body. Celtic healing practices came out of a belief system that identified sources of power and how to harness that power for healing purposes. The source of suffering was seen as a separation from the Sacred.

Energy-based healing is a therapeutic application in which the practitioner taps into Universal energy and act as a channel or conduit for that energy to flow into the client. There are many different forms of energy-based healing. As a certified Healing Hands practitioner, Branan uses healing techniques to balance and align the human energy field. Body, mind, emotion and spirit are touched through this therapeutic process, and each person is enabled to participate fully in his/her healing. This re-aligns the energy flow, re-activating the mind/body/spirit connection to eliminate blockages to self-healing. All Healing Hands Practitioners are bound by a high code of ethics to protect the confidence of the client.

According to the National Integrated Health Associates in Washington, D.C., s "redistribution of energy creates a more harmonious condition for the expression of  the client's mental, emotional and spiritual growth."

 Circles of Being

This technique is inspired by the Celtic belief in three realms realms of land, sea and sky - or body, mind and spirit. Using a form of informational dowsing, it examines aspects of your body, mind and spirit to give you a view of your current level of balance in those areas.

Dowsing has been used worldwide for millenia. Cave paintings eight thousand years old showing dowsers have been found in the mideast. It has been known by other names, as well, including divination and radiesthesia. Albert Einstein acknowledged that the art was regarded on the same mystical level as astrology, but explained it as a way of using the human nervous system to detect factors that were "unknown to us at this time". 

Branan has been using this technique for over thirty years. It reveals aspects of your subconscious, conscious, superconscious, health, creativity, temperament, compatibility, outlook, flexibility, inner tension, etc. and more. Once the information has been recorded, the findings and observations are discussed in an in-depth dialogue, which includes individualized suggestions to get back in balance.

• This is a 90 minute session and available both in person and by email for $195.00.  Name and birth date must accompany payment.

  IMRAMMA

An "Immram" is the term used in the Celtic Tradition to denote a soul journey and is usually translated as "Voyage". Ancient texts chronicle these immrama as the exploits of travellers in their search for the Otherworld in order to fulfill their destiny. 

This can be experienced today as guided visualization. Guided imagery is defined in the Alternative Medicine Encyclopedia as "the use of relaxation and mental visualization to improve mood and/or physical well being." It is a two part process that uses deep breathing and imagery to promote deep relaxation.

This journey opens aspects of the mind which may release subconscious mind memories of an earlier experience to balance the conscious, subconscious and superconscious. It can also help reduce stress and improve your mood.
