Konstantine Eleftherakis today to answer your questions about this ancient method of healing.  They talk about the true definition of “energy”, where to draw the line with some practices, and how to find someone who can help without getting into anything “weird!” </p> <p><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/106225/Picture1.png" alt="" width="172" height="172" /></p> <p><strong>Rev.
