Healing Practice

[st33med]

I once did a distance energy healing on a lovely person a long time ago and on a few other people as well. Today, I remembered my ability and became quite interested in it again.

I would like to practice it, but not quite yet! I need some help finding guides to assist me in this.

Much appreciated for any help!

Can you tell us more about what kind of guidance you are looking for? I can talk about this a bit with you in this thread, and I think Rei could be of help for you too. she and I share the same views about distance healing, methinks .

[st33med]

Well, I would like to know about specific things to do beforehand. My second healing I attempted had so much energy involved that I think I might have caused my mother's tempered glass cutting board to shatter while she was washing it

[Weena]

You don't have to do stuff before, but if you want i can tell you about preparations techniques and symbols to use to connect to the person you are going to heal. People initiated to reiki Usui are told not to share the symbols and use them with great care, but i think when it comes to healing anyone with the intent to heal others should be able to know about it. As in, with the intent of using it for the greater good and not to fill up their wallet. I don't judge people charging but i personally think healing should be a normal thing that we do for our "brothers", especially since the energy source is not us. If you wanted me to scan the symbol to connect yourself and the person you want to heal, pm me your email address .

Oh I am not sure about that .

I will send you my email . I would also like to know how to protect my environment from energy charging, please!

[Weena]

I am a big fan of frankincense resin for cleansing the environment (sometimes i add myrrh as well) (get the resin to melt on a piece of charcoal and carry it around your room...refer to my avatar to see a resin burner, ).

For protection, the Christos symbol in each corner and over doors and windows (that symbol is a cross in a circle).

Depending on your beliefs, you can ask for help and protection from Angels (guides, allies, white light...suit yourself ).

If you use any crystals (chakra drowsing and such) make sure to cleanse them afterward. Also shake/rub vigorously/or wash in cold water your hands after healing to not stay stuck with an others energy.

[Weena]

It's sent. Good to use especially if you don't know the person that well. Sometimes as you think about someone who could use healing, you might switch on fast without any kind of preparation. If the person is spiritual it can be very powerful too.

[marinik]

I have never experienced an distant healing! I would love to just have a sense what it feels like. I woke up with a headache and have a few minutes before I get ready for work. What would you do?

Ooh look at you!
I'm with Weena in that you don't really need a lot of preparation. It helps to be centered in yourself, relaxed, and it helps to have a buildup of chi but these aren't really requirements, it's more just to make the process smoother for you as the vessel of healing.

There are different opinions about what you need to connect. Some say you need a picture or mental image of the person/thing you are sending it to. I've found I don't really need the visual means of connecting because I just focus with intent. I am not even sure the exact nature of the healing that goes through me, it seems much like Reiki but I don't have any formal reiki attunements.

So, what I do is just connect to the person/situation I wish to facilitate healing for (and without any visual image, I just connect to the energy of the recipient) and invite the etheric levels to do their thing.

In some situations I have prepared by visualizing the web of Oneness, the etheric web that connects everyone and everything on the planet, and then I highlight the specific tread that flows from me to the recipient. I basically just trust my clairsentience to highlight the proper thread of the web, and so far that works out perfectly. Whether I use this method or not depends on why I'm facilitating the healing. If it's someone I know personally I approach it differently, by tuning into that specific person. But I find this becomes harder for me as the facilitator when there are many who are asking for healing. When there are many I ask Archangel Raphael to use my physicality as an anchor to send what is needed through the connection on the web of oneness, and I end up feeling a rush of energy as that happens.

There was a time when I sent the healing through my hands, but these days it seems to flow through/from the heart center instead. And it also seems to happen even when I am not specifically "doing" something, like I've had friends who actually noticed a difference when they asked for healing and I just thought in my head about healing vibes going to them. (Thinking it without visualizing it, though perhaps in some way there was still visualization.)

You can also intend beforehand to make the process gentle, if you choose to.

I am not sure I explained things clearly here, but if you have more specific questions I'll try to address them

[st33med]

Alright!

I am ready. I may not get around to doing the healing instantly, but I will do it . Even if you are not exactly ill, I will try . No guarantees!

Also, I would love to have a picture to focus on. It would be nice to see your face as well, instead of hiding behind your creative avatars.

[st33med]

Please, can I help anyone with healing?

I would appreciate if someone allows me to heal them. I want to practice!

[codenamesmiley]

St33med,

Do you think you can send me energy that makes cigarettes so repulsive to me that I gag, dry heave, nose runs and eyes water EVERY SINGLE TIME I LIGHT UP, until I quit? For that matter...any and all healers wanna take a crack at this for me?

This is one area where I need healing and lack the capacity to fulfill it for myself. (I think it is because deep down inside, I like to smoke.)

I appreciate any help I can get, on this matter.

Be Blessed,
Rebecca

Sorry my darling it would be like the pot calling the kettle black... (YES! I have flaws! )

[codenamesmiley]

I do enjoy smoking. I have just recently began to think that I may like breathing, just a little bit more.

I've always been of the mind that if I enjoy doing something then I will keep doing it until such a time as I no longer enjoy it. This was how I quit smoking. Forcing yourself to quit when you enjoy it, because you think you 'should' for health reasons, will not work so well IMO.

I'm not trying to discourage you from quitting, and I hope that didn't make it harder for you, I am just sharing how it worked for me, and my personal beliefs about this. I don't think there would be anything I could do to 'make' you feel repelled by cigarettes until you actually reach that place yourself (which did happen with me eventually). You may need to just keep smoking until one day you realise you hate it so much that you never want to put one in your mouth ever again...and then you are ready to quit for good.

I'm sure that's not what you wanted to hear, but I felt compelled to say it anyway.

Agreed. When I thought of sending energy related to smoking to you, I got a big, "Whoa!" Until you address the underlying reasons for smoking, it will continue to be something you're drawn to, and enjoy. You could do external things to "make" you quit smoking, but more than likely, it would just get replaced with something else.

Most often, when folks I know have quit smoking, a LOT of anger rises up for them. Smoking was serving to keep their anger pushed down and unacknowledged. This wouldn't necessarily be the case for everyone, of course. I've seen it again and again, though.

Cannot do anything for habits, as the guys said above ^.^

Just be aware of the emotions,thoughts associated with the behavior and be open to the possibility that change might be desirable.

Here's how i quit smoking for a few months last year: worn a staurolite around my neck, made a list of upsides that would stem from it, used lush essential oils, and patches for a few days. But back then i really got to the point of wanting to quit...also thinking that i would save heaps of money (beep! wrong!) and that i would open my spiritual channels more (beep! wrong again! my channels were just as open, but not heaps more).

I think sometimes of quitting but for now ciggie time is MY time. It's the few minutes that belong to me only, sitting on my terrace, watching the views, away from non-stop kid minding and housework. By the way, I' m a very clean smoker, have a gown to put over my clothes + wash my hands and mouth afterward so the children don't smell it on me (my non-smokers friends say they never smell smoke on me).

So to agree with Elucidate, are you feeling ready for the change? If yes, refer to first paragraph (staurolite reinforces your decision, essential oils keep you calm, and a list of positive might help too).

[codenamesmiley]

Thanks everyone.

All of your opinions make sense. I suppose that doing any magick or healing in something that involves free will is just a tabu subject anyway.

I suppose that I will either choose breathing over smoking one day, or one day I may have no choice..but I hope that I will find the desire to stop BEFORE the damage to my lungs is so bad that I have to have oxygen to sleep. (or turn off an oxygen tank, to light a smoke..lol)

I have never heard of Staurolite before you mentioned it here Weena. After researching this stone a little bit, I think I need to get one..whether I stop smoking or not! (Weena learned me something new today..bless you Weena.)
Even if it don't help the smoking issue..it looks like an awesome stone to add to the collection.

Thanks everyone.
Be Blessed,
Rebecca

[Weena]

You are so very welcome Staurolite is a lovely crystal indeed, i would expand on the subject but i think you have read all about it already . I was mentioning it in a reiki workshop as a grounding stone, and the day after i found one on the floor of the "classroom", eheh, i told the teacher that is what i was explaining to her and she said it belonged to an other reiki practitioner that was there a few days before. Wait! Does that mean she does not vaccuum very often?

[Sharyn]

You are welcome to use me as a guinea pig LOL

I've been sick for almost 5 weeks now, 5 different flu viruses according to the doctor. I have a young toddler and we have things like Music classes so I'm always meeting new bugs it seems.
My Dr has put me on a course of steroids, more Ventolin (my asthma is playing up because of my Flu), more antibiotics and some cough suppressant, as well as something to make me sleep as I was coughing all night.
I'm seeing a Chiro three times a week as I coughed my back and neck out of alignment so he's working with me to fix the injury to my back.

I just really need to shake this virus as I qualify for a free Flu vacc, but can't have it while I'm sick - typical huh!

I want to get better as I hate being unwell, I'm not a good patient and with a very busy and active toddler I feel so guilty that he is missing out on his happy mummy

So any external help would be hugely appreciated by both myself and my son!

[st33med]

I have attempted healing you Sharyn. Sorry if it took so long for me to get to, but I was having a bit of a crisis with a break up. My heart wasn't ready for it when I read your post.

Hope you are feeling better now

[Weena]

I have noticed that... if your heart isn't at it or you're stressed. If my baby is crying i don't feel the reiki flowing well because all the way i am worried for her and focus on her being in pain (when she's colic-y) and block myself/the flow.

Oh gosh I am so so sorry!
I hope you are feeling a little better - don't worry about me, I just thought if you wanted a guinea pig I might be useful!
My health seems pretty low on your list of concerns right now! You should focus on you for a bit and get yourself happy again before worrying about me!

Lets see.

What do you find absolutely so amazingly disgusting that it makes you gag, have a runny nose and makes your eyes water?

Fish eyes? Rotten onion? Dead half eaten by crows baby cows?

Now for an experiment. Close your eyes and imagine one of these things. Really feel the repulsiveness. If you feel curious instead of repulsed and nauseated, it is not a strong enough picture

Really see, hear, smell it. Feel (in your mind) how it feels to have your hands on those things. Smell how they smell.

Do you have a clear mental picture (with smell, sound, feeling)?

Now take a pack of cigarettes in your hand.

Open your eyes, see the pack of cigarettes. Close your eyes and see the mutilated baby cow (or puppy, if you really really need something bad).

Open your eyes, see your cigarettes. Close your eyes, see the image, including the feel, smell etc. Really feel the disgust!
Open your eyes and see your cigarettes.
Close your eyes and see the image.

Repeat this until you feel a vague disgust when you look at your cigarettes.

Go do something else for a few minutes that takes your mind off cigarettes and the image.

After 10 minutes rinse and repeat the process.

I believe you if you will do this you will feel a stronger and stronger disgust towards your cigarettes every time

Just keep reinforcing this picture, over the cigarettes.

It might be that when someone offers you a cigarette (so it is a different picture then when you hold a pack in your hand yourself) you do not feel the same disgust. Experiment with it...

If someone wants to offer you a cigarette and you want to say yes, ask for the pack and hold it so that the disgust comes back again

Or have someone working with you and picture them handing you the mutilated dead baby cow (or puppy)

Good luck!!

[tarajc]

When you feel better and want to try again, let me know, I'll be a guinea pig too! Feel better soon. Wish I could give you some distance healing.

[codenamesmiley]

Ssandra,

I will try your advice. (as soon as I stop chuckling)

Love the way you worded some of this.

Much love,
Rebecca

st33med;
I applaud your energy and enthusiasm for Healing. This is a good thing.

If I may offer a slight word of caution, however: Being a Healer is not just about helping people remove ailments. Being a Healer is often just as much about knowing when NOT to remove them.

People are "ill" for any number of reasons and simply removing the "illness" is seldom effective in the long term and may actually do more harm than good.

Being able to understand the nature of the imbalance in an individual and THEN helping THEM to correct that imbalance is - in my very humble opinion - the only way to be an effective Healer.

If this seems impossible for you, then good. You're smarter than most.

It IS impossible for us as Humans to do this. This is why people like Rei and Weena talk about power flowing "through" us. We are like a soda straw - just a shell or vessel which contains and directs the true Healing energy.

Knowing how to direct that energy can come from a lot of places. Most people spend years and years in Medical School to learn it. Some people simply "know" how to do it. Some, manage a form of a compromise between the two by using their own intuition aumented and enhanced by their Guides and Allies.

Please, before you start "healing" people, take a little time to figure out HOW you plan on doing it and take a little MORE time to learn and hone your skills under some form of guidance before you approach anyone.

This is serious business and has serious ramifications not just for your "patients" but for you as well.

Peace and blessings to you on your Path.
