richard contreras
CURANDERX, ESPIRITISTA, TAROT READER, ASTROLOGER
Richard combines various elements of his Curanderismo practice, Espiritismo (Spiritism), ritual studies, Astrology and channeling work in order to walk side-by-side with clients during sessions. Calling on ancestral wisdom, spiritual guides and innate higher guidance, he works towards finding the places in one’s life where we may feel disempowered to transform them into sources of empowerment. Through his own journey, he has found that it is at these vulnerable places where we end up becoming the most radiant.
His sessions can take the form of a reading to give guidance and clarity or they can be limpias (cleansings) to clear away energetic blockages and stagnancy. They can also take the form of deeper shamanic soul work used to reconnect one to lost or disempowered aspects of oneself by rewriting outdated belief systems in order to match a higher vibrational self. As woowoo as it may sound, Richard believes we really are our own best teachers and that we always know, on some level, what is best for us. He makes it a point to honor that truth and to check in with higher guidance to remind others that everything one will ever need is already within them, always.
