Healing our Shields YES! With Marilyn and Tohmas Twintreess
At the moment of birth, every 2-legged, cracks their Shields—they experience separation from their Spirit and from all other beings. And we continue to crack our shields (the traces of our perfect Spirits) as we feel deeply traumatized by life’s dramas.
For years, we, Marilyn and Tohmas Twintreess, have listened with and studied ways to heal our Shields, with our SpiritGrandmother, Sweet Shield. We are utterly honored to share this wisdom with all willing humans at this time-between-the-ages (going from the end of the Piscean Age to the Aquarian Age) when we can exponentially transform and evolve as never before:
~ Discover the innate ways of Freedom, Immortality and Invisibility.
~ Find out how to store unlimited energy and therefore heal your Shield spontaneously.
~ With intentional, simple breathing, align with the Elementals— the core energies of manifestation and profound transformation upon the Earth Mother.
~ Listen to the ways of the Healing Shields, 12 lineages of Beings who walk the Earth Mother only to support our all-out evolution.
~ Learn every way of the deepest, most immediate rituals of exponential life that we have been taught: the Rituals of Manifestation; Live Foods; Starfamily support; the gifts of union from the Animal/Plant/Mineral Kingdoms; Listening and Co-Creating with your Spirits; the Elemental Practices of Clarity/Efficiency/Respect and more…..much, much more.
Let’s share our stories now. This is the season for us to be whole, Healing Shields. It is our destiny.
Who are Marilyn and Tohmas Twintreess? Our Spirit family calls us Spirit Storytellers. It’s our job to care for all these stories and make sure that they go out into the world, just as they were spoken, to every other being on this planet. The words became a book. The book became a journey all over this country. The new journey became more books, then tapes, videos, a deck for manifesting miracles, work/playshops, vibrational jewelry and tools of all kinds — each one worn by our bodies first. Everything grew through us, beyond us, and it continues to grow. We have a business that cares for all the words and the tools of support named, AhhhMuse. The name gifted itself to us and it is a Spirit of Earth support for you as well.
When Marilyn and Tohmas listen to their Spirits, they act as one being — Twintreess — literally. This union opens up their hearts to communication that was almost dreamed of … forever. As quiet types, their Hearts especially resonate with all the Spirits of nature. They receive gentle, unbelievably kind, and unconditionally supportive words totally. Spirits grace inspires much beyond the Twintrees own words. Please visit www.ahhhmuse.com to learn more about what is being manifested through the service of these two beings.
