You'll open your heart and mind through this empowering conversation with our returning guest, colleague, author, international teacher, musician, and Classical Acupuncturist, Ann Cecil-Sterman. In the first part of this two-part episode on remote healing and The Power of Intention, Ann shares:

How time alone in England recently changed Ann’s views of teaching and helped her realize that “the greatest enemy to broad thinking and expansion of consciousness is fact.”

Why you must raise your courage to question what’s considered true, and how both a shift in consciousness and intention are essential for this to happen

Great advice for both healthcare practitioners and those of you who simply want more tools for your self-cultivation

How you can access a resonance to your essence without needles or tangible tools, simply through the power of intention

How Covid has catalyzed the profession of acupuncture to go into a different direction, and how this change will make the benefits of this practice more accessible to a wider audience

The power of intention is more important than you may think. As Salvador illuminates in our discussion in this episode: “we have to learn, especially collectively, to see ourselves well.” You'll learn the power of turning around your negative thinking towards a more positive, healing perspective that can create transformation in all aspects of your life.
