Exploring Astrology & Qi Gong with Paul Fraser

January 16, 2018 14:43 - 1 hour - 170 MB

In this show I have a conversation with my Medical Qi Gong teacher, Paul Fraser.  You may not think this has anything to do with Astrology, but you may be surprised.  If Astrology is the study of Time, Light, and Energy, then Qi Gong is the practice to keep us radiant in all three.  It's fundamental. It's healing.  It's more than words can capture.  I do hope you enjoy listening. And if you find yourself wanting to learn, Paul and I both teach it. www.Holestoheavens.com

November 19, 2017 02:05 - 1 hour - 242 MB

The next will be released sometime in 2018 before his ingress into Aries. Enjoy www.Holestoheavens.com

October 21, 2017 14:04 - 1 hour - 207 MB
