Greetings and welcome! My name is Gary Battaglia. I am a spiritual teacher, mentor, and an ordained minister with CoreLight, a non-profit spiritual organization based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Corelight was founded by awakened teacher Leslie Temple-Thurston to assist others in their own awakening and to foster the awakening of the global heart. The inspiration for this blog comes from the unique and powerful spiritual teachings that Leslie has shared with me as her student over the course of fifteen years. I feel grateful and blessed for her unwavering love, guidance and support, and for the opportunities she has afforded me as a teacher and mentor with CoreLight, all of which have nurtured my spiritual growth and given me the confidence to find my own voice.
I graduated from CoreLight’s four year Teacher Training program in consciousness studies and enlightenment in 2000. Previously, I received my diploma in professional music from Berklee College of Music in Massachusetts, but with a passionate interest in meditation and metaphysics, a deeper inner calling led to a shift in life’s focus and an honoring of my connection to spirit and natural gift for healing. Studies in energy healing and hands-on healing, including Polarity Therapy and Rosen Method emotional release work, followed. I also counseled children and families as a Community Relations Specialist/Elementary Advisor in the public schools for many years.
My intention with this blog is to share the profound spiritual truths that my teacher has generously imparted to me as they play out in my life as a spiritual seeker and teacher – and humble participant in this business of being human! May you find something here to help illuminate your own life, and should you find yourself in a painful situation and in need of guidance, or if you are simply ready to release what no longer serves you, please click the Spiritual Guidance page at the top of the blog to schedule a meeting by phone, on Skype, or in person if you prefer. I am also available for meditation instruction by phone, Skype, or in person in my home in San Francisco, California.
Blessings
