Family informed there was no hope. Life support system disconnected. Time of death noted: 03:59. II Is something feeling amiss, in your view? Is dis-ease stopping you from feeling whole? I may not have some “magic pill” for you, but I am here to help you take control. By oath, foremost, I will do you no harm and instead listen to your voice and heart, feeling your frequency, holding your arm, sensing the points where we should look to start. Gradually we’re unravelling the blocks, that line the passages in to your core. I’ll share with you some tools from my toolbox; energy, nature, loving, and much more, so that when our time draws near to a close, You’ll have all you need for your future woes.

I’ve linked some pieces and conversations below on this subject which I have found to be useful to think about:
