Hypnotherapy & Beyond : ‘ Surrogate Healing ’

Hypnotherapy & Beyond : ‘ Surrogate Healing ’

‘ We are One ’ - is the common message that resonates at the core of nearly all philosophical and religious schools of thought . The concept has taken a new meaning in today ’ s modern world view of Quantum Physics , which talks about ‘ All that Is ’, in terms of Energy . Likewise the concept of ‘ Universal Consciousness ’, too gets a more solid ground of logical understanding , once we view everything material or immaterial , visible or invisible , perceived or unperceived as Energy .
