The Path of Initiation
Walking the Path of Initiation in Egypt activates each one of your Chakras through sacred ritual and ceremony in key temples aligning the Nile. Beginning with the root Chakra in Abu Simbel and ending with the Crown Chakra in the Pyramid of Giza in Cairo, you’ll draw powerful energy inward and upward, activating the kundalini, accessing cellular memory, clearing negativity and connecting you directly with Source. It is truly an enlightening process.
