BASIC HEALING TECHNIQUES
We are all individual so the healing energy that you
generate will be unique to you. If you liken yourself to an orchestra,
somebody whose orchestra is composed mainly of brass instruments would
play a very different type of music from someone whose orchestra is
composed mainly of stringed instruments. This is why well-known healers
tend to specialise in their type of treatments. You need to develop the
type of approach that is right for you. However there are some general
guidelines that are applicable to all healers.
You need to have a 'heart centred' desire to want to help.
It is important to act as a channel for healing energies
rather than using your own resources.
All healing should be an offering of love from one soul to
another and must not be an imposition. "Thy Will Be Done" -
Implying not only God's will but also the will of the spirit or soul you
are sending the healing to.
Suggested procedure :
-
Attune
within.
-
Attune to the client
-
Link to the source of healing energy
e.g. Christ, Godhead, Sun, Cosmos, Golden- Chalice, the Earth and so
on.
-
Direct your thoughts to balance the
whole of the energy fields of the patient.
-
Send healing to the specific parts e.g.
an arthritic knee.
-
Balance the whole person again.
-
De-link from the source of energy and
the client.
-
Sense yourself balanced within your own
auric energy field and close down.
To begin the healing process it is preferable to have the
client either sitting in a straight chair or lying on the floor or couch.
As the healer you need to be in a position that is comfortable for you.
Place your hands on their shoulders as a preliminary to starting the
healing. Touch is very important and creates and initial bond.
Attune within by sensing a connection to the deepest or
most spiritual part of yourself. This does not have to be a complicated
process, simply saying to yourself "I am connecting to my Higher
Consciousness" will open up this channel. Next attune to your client in
the same way. You could affirm with "I am connecting to the higher
consciousness of my client."
Link yourself to the source of your healing energy. (See
above.) Initially you will tend to work only with one source but with
practice you may go on to work with different sources depending on the
responses of the client. Sense that you are drawing this energy through
the top of your head, linking it to your heart and then directing out
through your hands. If you prefer to link with the energy of the earth
then feel that you are drawing this up through your feet to your heart
before feeling it flow out through your hands.
Sense or imagine that this energy is bringing harmony and
balance to all the levels of your client. Affirm within " I am balancing
body, emotions, mind and spirit." At this stage you might wish to allow
your hands to move away from the client to a distance of six to eight
inches and direct all your thoughts to the subtle energy fields that
surround your client.
Next focus on any area that either your client has
mentioned requires healing or what your intuition relays to you. At this
stage you could place your hands on the imbalanced part. Maintain the
connection for as long as you can hold your attention to the healing. If
you find your mind wandering off then start to draw the healing to a
close.
To do this once more think about balancing or re-aligning
whole system and particularly send a thought of protection and strength to
the aura.
When this is complete de-link from the source of healing
energy. De-link from your client and centre and balance your own energies.
This last step can be carried out by the simple process of crossing your
hands although some healers like to wash their hands afterwards.
This form of healing does not need to take a long time.
Some healers achieve all they need to in less than a minute, others may
take half-hour or more. There are no hard and fast rules.
Studies have been carried out in the States that have
verified the effectiveness of spiritual healing and prayer. These studies
have also suggested that healing is around four times more effective when
is sent to balance the whole person rather than focusing on the part that
is showing the imbalance. In other words in an arthritic patient it is
better to send thoughts of balance to all their energies rather than
concentrating exclusively on curing the arthritis. The system given above
takes in this point and allows us to work at both ends of the spectrum.
The process of healing is concerned about balance for a
person or indeed a place or situation. To achieve balance without we need
continually to strive for balance within. This is one of the biggest
challenges for everyone involved in this work. (See section
"Self-Healing")
One of the other challenges of healing is to continue
developing one's techniques and not to become static.

THE USE OF COLOUR AND SYMBOL
Colour can be used as an aid to assist the therapeutic
process. A number of colour rays are given below. These are not exclusive
and different schools may suggest alternative correlations. It should be
appreciated that the mind acts rather like a computer. If we programme it
with certain ideas it will act accordingly.
Using colour rays helps us become more conscious and
interactive in the healing process. It should be looked upon as the first
step rather than as an end in itself.
WHITE RAY ...
is used
for sealing the aura, also for recharging a person who is tired
physically, mentally or psychically.
BLUE RAY....
is the ray of cleansing. Wounds may be cleansed by this ray and it should
be used when attacking germs, dirt etc. It should also be used for
cleansing the auric energy fields and is particularly good at helping
combat viral infections such as colds or flu. It is a good practice to
cleanse the client's aura with the blue ray before finally dis-connecting.
CORAL OR PINK RAY...is
a warming ray, and should be used for the relief of pain, headaches and in
the treatment of such complaints as arthritis etc. It may also be used for
soothing. This ray should not be confused with the Red Ray.
RED RAY...is
for burning. It can be used in advanced cases of gastric ulcers, where the
area is not drying. Externally it can used on badly poisoned wounds or
ulcerated places. It can cause a little discomfort when being used. This
can be counteracted by a dark blue/indigo ray to the surrounding area
which has a form of anaesthetic effect.
LILAC RAY ...
is a building ray. It is ideal for cases where fibres or tissues have
been destroyed, such as with severe burning or cancer. It stimulates the
growth of new tissue and will speed up the healing of wounds. It is
therefore ideal for people recovering from operations.
SILVER RAY
..... is used in healing brain or nerve damage in that it will help
new connections to be made. It needs to be used sparingly rather like a
thin laser beam of light.
GOLD RAY
....... is
used to balance spinal or back injuries, eye problems and against any very
disturbed energies. It is a ray that can be called upon if you feel
threatened in any way by energies that you sense around you. Like the
silver ray when directing this energy to the physical body it should be
done sparingly like a laser beam. If overdone it will cause discomfort.
The above are the major rays and will provide a basis for
working on many types of cases.
To use them in healing simply imagine, visualise the
particular colour coming through your hands and being directed to the area
of imbalance. If you have difficulty visualising a colour simply holding
the thought in your mind "I am using a white, blue or whatever ray " will
suffice.
An
alternative to colour is the use of symbols or sounds that are visualised
or sensed within and then projected out. For example a symbol for
tranquillity is "the Lotus" flower or water lily that is so connected to
the Buddha. If you had a client who was under a great deal of emotional
stress you could imagine that they were within a "Lotus" or alternatively
to place an imaginary "Lotus" on their head. This will have the effect of
linking you and them them to this universal energy.
Another very powerful balancing and healing symbol is the
equi-distant cross within a circle. Simply visualising or imaging this
symbol surrounding your client will help draw all their energies into
balance.
5. PROTECTION & THE SUBTLE ENERGY FIELDS
OF THE BODY
As mentioned, there is a stepping down of energy from the
spirit or soul to the physical body. All the in between layers of
consciousness, the emotions, mind intuitions etc. form part of an energy
field that has become known as the aura.
The aura contains the sum of all the non-physical energies
of our being and psychics suggest that it extends out from our body for a
distance of about eighteen inches. However this may be an over-
simplification for, being non-physical, part of it exists outside of the
space/time continuum. Because of this messages or perceptions coming from
the deeper layers of our consciousness have to be translated into images
or terms comprehensible to the rational mind. This can sometimes be
confusing.
One of the most important functions of the aura not
generally recognised is that of protection. This is crucial to holding the
whole of our being together. If this protective mechanism did not exist
the resonances of our different layers of consciousness, with other beings
would cause so much interference that life would be impossible. It would
be as though you were trying to listen to a particular station on the
radio with a dozen other stations broadcasting on the same frequency.
Metaphorically the aura casts a form of radio-black out on incoming
signals "detuning" them sufficiently to stop the majority of this
interference. Another analogy would be like two orchestras playing
different pieces of music together in the same room. Eventually there
would be a break down in what was being played. The auric barriers has the
effect of putting the two orchestras in separate rooms with walls between
them. You might still hear the other orchestra but it would be
sufficiently muffled so as not to cause a problem.
Some people's walls are very thin and this can be also
exasperated by psychic development. Such individuals can find themselves
becoming chameleons to those who are around them. They can, for example,
find it difficult going into supermarkets because they get easily
disturbed by disruptive energies.
The aura is a natural part of who and what we are and so it
functions automatically. When we come into a physical body the spirit or
soul builds this projecting energy field around it as a natural
protection. But, because of the many stresses and strains in life that
become magnified when you develop your psychic senses through healing
and/or similar therapeutic practice, you need to become conscious of
strengthening and balancing your aura.
The simplest way to do this is by visualising that you are
surrounded by a bubble of light. Experiment using different colours, blue,
gold, white, purple or pink to see what effect they appear to have and
which feels the most comfortable. Colours carry vibrational tones that
link to archetypal energies. For example, gold links to the sun and is a
very powerful and dynamic energy whilst blue reflects the gentleness of
the 'Divine Feminine'. (see article Psychic
Protection)
Over the years psychics have given different names to the
various subtle bodies. These are:
The Etheric
- which is perceived as an exact replica of the physical body but on an
energy matrix level.
The Astral Body
- is that part of ourselves that contains our emotions and feelings.
The Mental Body
- is the part of ourselves that contains the conscious and subconscious
mind. It is also the seat of the "Little Ego"
The Intuitive Body
- is the part that has connection with the intuitive and inspirational
elements of ourselves.
The Soul or Spiritual Body
- is the core part of our being. The part that connects at conception and
leaves at death. It is the life force within us.
