“When we were presented with the opportunity to participate in Elina’s cosmoenergy session at the end of the conference, I eagerly embraced it. During the session, I could feel a surge of sensations coursing through my body, particularly in my chest. It was as if something was repeatedly hitting me, but in a transformative way. As the conference came to an end, I noticed a remarkable change within myself. I felt lighter, as if a weight had been lifted, and I regained a sense of clarity that had eluded me for so long. In the days that followed, I experienced a significant shift in my overall well-being. I felt renewed, energized, and free from the heavy burden that had consumed me.”
