SPECIAL EVENT WITH WEG—WESTON AND MEG: TWO PROGRAMS on MARCH 20
Weston and Meg (WEG) are coming back to Divine Life Church Saturday, March 20, 2010! Meg will be present physically, Weston will be fully present in consciousness and voicing through Meg.
Developing the Healer Within 9:30 – 12:30 a.m. $ 75.00. The program will include deepening meditation and work around energetic boundaries. Mindfulness as an ongoing practice. Learning a Tibetan practice. Inner exercises followed by discussion. Sending love from your heart to another person’s heart. Weg will give guidance and help for getting into your heart space. This is an intense practice, and Meg can check when someone is shut down. Dealing with frequencies and morphic fields. Actually, the program is fluid, as she can tell what is needed or where people are when she comes into the room. She then tailors the program to meet the needs and interests of those who are present.
Healing Session With Meg and Weston 1:30 – till whenever. Suggested Donation $35. Questions are welcome. You are invited to write down questions in advance, anonymously, which will be addressed. Those who were present at Divine Life Church during Weg’s last visit know how special it is to be in Weg’s presence and hear and feel the wisdom coming forth through Meg’s and Weston’s loving presence. Guidance is given with compassion and kindness. Everyone benefits, even if you are not the person being specifically addressed.
__________________________
Private Sessions: Anyone who desires a private consultation with Meg in Bethesda on Monday or Tuesday can e-mail Meg at megdlupin@yahoo.com Or you can set up a phone appointment with Meg for later if you want.
Weston and Meg offer a very special combination in their healing work. Weston is a very wise and ancient one whose wisdom goes far beyond his chronological years in the present body. He is, in fact, an intergalactic being living with his family in California, which may sound like a paradox, but as Lao-Tzu has said, Truth often abounds in paradoxes. Weston does not have to be physically present. His consciousness extends to wherever he wants to be, and he is able to discern what would be most helpful to a particular person at the time.
Meg has the special gift of being able to “voice” for Weston, which means she receives what he wants to say through her, and she is simultaneously able to give voice to Weston’s words, ideas, and guidance. She is a healing practitioner in her own right, offering a range of healing modalities, including Reiki, Matrix Energetics, Emotional Freedom Technique, Bioenergetic healing, the Yuen method, and Conscious Systems. She brings all her healing abilities to the forefront as she works with everyone. We can feel her energy and total dedication to helping others in a gentle and loving manner. Those who were present on her last visit were deeply touched by her presence and her wisdom. megdlupin@yahoo.com
