The real act of marriage takes place in the heart not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make - not just on your wedding day but over and over again - and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.

Learning how to get in tune with your field of energy and understand how to create your energy expand that energy and move that energy through your body.
