PoC-affiliated Helpers

“Helping is one of the most satisfying, beautiful, noble, enhancing, stimulating experiences there is. It is truly a marriage, in a spiritual sense, of your channel with the channel of the other person. The other person’s path unfolds. It is a living organism that reveals itself.”

Wood, Charles Cresson

Wood, Charles Cresson Lake Bay, WA

Charles read his first Pathwork book back in 1991, and he was so excited that he stayed up all night to complete it. While he has been a student of contemporary channels like Paul Selig, Hellen Schuman, and Jane Roberts, nothing that he has encountered has provided the clarity and extensive practical guidance that is found in the Pathwork lectures. Charles has written two Pathwork meditation books, entitled “Opening to Abundance” (2004) and “Rapid Crisis Resolution” (2017). He has served on the Pathwork of California Board of Directors, and also taught classes and delivered sermons about “abundance consciousness.” He particularly invites those who are now in a stuck place, a painful place where they have been going around in circles, to have private sessions with him. Together, and with God’s help, we can set your trajectory into a new direction of light, love, truth, abundance, joy, and inspiration. www.abundantreality.com
