Elka Boren Now Offers Healing & Workshops at Human Bodyworks in Hastings on Hudson

Hastings to Host Panamanian Shaman and Clairvoyant Each Month

Rev. Elka Boren

The Reverend Elka Boren has reportedly been gifted since childhood with healing abilities, clairvoyance and a sensitivity that helps her see into the body on many levels. Hailing from Central America, Elka has been trained by shamans to reach a high level of skill, integrating advanced methods that use geometric energy grids to accelerate healing processes and remove blocks from the subtle and physical bodies. Now, Elka is offering healing sessions and workshops one week of each month at Human Bodyworks Massage Therapy and Healing Arts Center in Hastings on Hudson, NY.

Elka’s powerful technique can move people through life’s phases, removing blocks at their root, shifting clients to higher energy frequencies and bringing forward greater clarity, understanding and movement. Elka is internationally known with more than 20 years experience. She also teaches and practices the Rising Star and Prema Birthing Healing Systems, as learned from healer Derek O’Neill. Elka likens the body to a computer that holds tremendous amounts of data. Once the body deletes unnecessary information in the form of physical and mental blockages, she says, a person can feel healthier and lighter, losing even cellular memories that can cause physical illness and emotional traumas.

Human Bodyworks Massage Therapy and Healing Arts Center is located at 32 Main Street, Hastings on Hudson, NY. For appointments contact Carl Carvalho at 917.445.1767 or Carl@HumanBodyworks.com. Visit HumanBodyworks.com or Elka’s website Kaakinii.com for more information.

Dhammakaya Meditation Classes with Robert Mawson Now at Human Bodyworks Massage Therapy and Healing Arts Center in Hastings on Hudson, NY

Robert Mawson

Robert Mawson has taught meditation to thousands of people around the world, including international civil servants and diplomats at the United Nations. He teaches meditation as a tool to activate the power of one’s natural healing force and overcome pain and suffering. Robert, who suffered a great deal of pain in his life due to physical ailments, credits his deep meditation practice with his own survival and quality of life.

According to the reports, it did.

Robert is one of only two westerners certified to teach an advanced form of Buddhist meditation. This summer, he will teach an ongoing meditation class at Human Bodyworks Massage Therapy and Healing Arts Center in Hastings on Hudson, NY. The Monday night class, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., begins July 12.
