Being a "spiritual baby" on this new found path James set out to learn from Masters, Shamans and Beings from other planes, to teach him how to master this new found gift. He studied ancient forms of healing, modern day energy healing, he even studied the catholic rite of exorcisms. All in pursuit to help ease the suffering of people, as he has experienced within himself. Four Years into James' Journey he began his spiritual sessions. Having spent 4 years of his life developing himself and his soul it was time for him to begin his life's work. He began hosting meditation circles where people from all over Long Island would come to develop themselves. It was around this time James had received a powerful healing technique he calls MultiDimensional Healing. James began to activate people's self healing powers. He began to cause immediate healing in these peoples lives. Emotional scars, stored trauma, spiritual Initiations and even healing a case of MS.
