Medical Intuition: Brooke Gunther's Gift

Brooke Gunther, Medical Intuit

We are all blessed and gifted in one way or another.  Some of us share our spiritually-given gifts with others, and that's definitely the case with Brooke Gunther, Medical Intuit.  Brooke's gift is the ability to see clearly and hear messages from a source of life Brooke calls her angels.  Brooke's soft-spoken voice explains details to her clients as she receives guidance from an internal source.  It's amazing to say the least!

Brooke Gunther is a Clairvoyant (clear seeing), Clairaudience (clear hearing) and Clairsentience (clear feeling).  She sees, feels and hears messages from her Angels, and Spiritual Guides.  Looking at your energy body, she locates and reduces the impact of negatively charged memories from an unconscious mind; in addition to clearing blocked emotions from your energy body. This releases emotional and physical pain.

Life is a series of challenges.  Through adversity is how we find our God-given talents.  Life shrinks or expands, according to ones courage.  So, there's hope happiness is still there just temporarily buried under all your stuff.  In a session with Brooke vast amounts of blocked energy gets removed and immediate healing begins.

If you have been struggling with a medical condition that has not responded to traditional treatment, Contact Brooke.

In a private session, shew will scan your energy field by tracking your luminous body, in other words looking for any impressions of blocked energy. The luminous body is a subtle energy field that surrounds the physical body. For the shaman, the luminous body is the blueprint and key to all that manifests in our physical bodies.

 Gerald Albright’s self-produced music features him on bass guitar, keyboards, flutes, drum programming, and background vocals. The two time Grammy nominated artist has earned his reputation as the “musician’s musician.” Whether he is playing contemporary or straight-ahead jazz, Albright stands in a class all by himself. He is known for his swiftness on stage, his unique round sound which is percussive yet soulful. He has the ability to surprise the audience with something out of the ordinary.

 Saturday, April 7^th, 7 p.m.
Craig Chaquico

 Craig Chaquico has engaged and inspired two generations of pop music fans, first as a founding member, lead guitarist, and a prolific principle song writer for the multi-platinum Jefferson Starship. With 20 Gold records combined between Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship and Starship, Craig was instrumental in making that combination one of the most successful bands in history. In the early 90s when Craig Chaquico reinvented himself as a pop instrumentalist, he emerged triumphant, bringing his fresh sounding amalgam of rock, blues, contemporary jazz and new age to the top of the charts once again.
