#146 This week, I’m here with the amazing Jonathan Hammond.
Jonathan is an Author, Spiritual Teacher, Energy Healer, Shamanic
Practioner, and Spiritual Counselor. In his own words, he is a
healer who helps people come back to their nature.
This episode, as well as Jonathan’s work, is very relevant to our
world now. A world were people are anxious, they are looking
outside of themselves, and or feel disconnected from the world.
We talk about Huna and its principles and Jonathan offers some
really practical things we can do or change within our lives to
feel more connected and to heal from the past. Even if you think
you don’t have a trauma to heal from, listening to Jonathan’s words
will no doubt add something to how you approach the world, those
around you, and yourself.
