This was a great start for the new monthly Master Class series.  Steven Scott started. In the first half of the class, Steven explained what energy we bring,  clarified our own spirit within and described the 6 para senses. That lead to a guided meditation for those in the  virtual classroom during the live show and for those of you who will be listening to this podcast. After a brief Q&A session, and after a short break, he opened up a universal healing circle meditation.  Both of the guided meditations are just as powerful to those of you who will be taking the class via podcast.  Join us on the last Thursday of the month.
