INTUITIVE READER

by Elizabeth Harris

Thoughts about our intuition ..... a grand seed of truth, where in time we cannot deny, as this seed of truth does not lie. This seed enables us to learn how; acquires us skills of innate ability and adaptiveness foe Self throughout daily tasks of life. I use no tarot cards, no crystal balls, we simply sit and I see what is meant to come through for you. During our reading I channel messages that will evoke yourself to think for yourself; thoughts provoked to encourage you to expand, freeing your mind for life that you build around you; seeking the intuition that is. Dreams past , present, future, questions, answers, human nature, spirituality, life after death, universal community - we have it all at our finger tips. During your reading loved ones who have passed over could present themselves to us, with many reasons for their presence. A reading with me I ask to assist, to enlighten, to encourage, to empower the individual who has trusted themselves to sit with me. Spirit reminds us of a divine spark of light, our truth reflective in our light. It exists within each of us and our purpose is to become a beacon of our light.

Each read consists of about ½ hour... COST $35.00 or 1 hour $60.00 Appointments Necessary..Please register ahead .... 10:00 am to 4:00 pm At Cha Mao Zah .. 7111 Hwy #6... Tobermory..519-596-2708
