The Original Mystery

When I was eight years old I saw a movie that changed my life forever. It was a kung-fu movie in which a blind Chinese monk with a long, white goatee was speaking to a young student-monk with a shaved head. They were sitting in an outdoor courtyard in the middle of a monastic compound on a sunny afternoon. The perimeter was lined with manicured Chinese Bird Plum Bonsai Trees interspersed with Lucky Bamboo. Birds chirped around them. Chanting emanated from somewhere deep within the compound. Incense smoke drifted up lazily to imbue the air with a mystical presence. The elder monk told the young monk that when he achieved mastery, he would have a glow around his body.

Being young, and having the innocent virtues of wonder and faith, I believed this glow to be real. As a youngster, I instinctively knew that few of the adults in my world would understand the

Introduction

14

truth of this energy, so I kept the idea to myself. I spent many years seeking, searching and studying from many systems, programs, and teachers to develop my knowledge and skills in the field of energy healing. The glow spoken of in the movie turned out to be the aura which surrounds the human body. What once seemed foreign, complicated and unobtainable now seems common, normal, and easily understood. I can assure you that energy healing is real, it is simple, and it works! Energy Healing is highly effective at improving health.

Important Limitations

There are three main limitations to the use of the information presented in this book. First, the methods taught in this book are not a substitute for proper medical or psychological treatment. Always consult your doctor before undertaking any course of action that may affect your health. Energy Healing is only to be used if you are already following your doctor‟s orders. This book is not designed to give medical or psychological advice. The process of energy healing also does not involve rendering a medical or psychological diagnosis or treatment. Energy Healing allows the healer to act as a facilitator who helps the client‟s body to heal itself.

Second, not all energetic conditions respond well to energy healing. Other methods of healing may be more appropriate in some cases. No single system of healing in the world can address every condition equally well. Further, some clients—such as pregnant women—are never to be healed by readers of this book.

Finally, the knowledge and skills obtained from this book do not qualify the reader to operate as a professional energy healer or to heal the public at large. The purpose of this book is to offer you some basic skills to better your own health or that of your loved ones. Becoming a professional energy

18

healer requires years of training and study under the guidance and supervision of a qualified teacher.

Having said these things, this book can help you to prevent ill health, maximize wellness, and be of great service to yourself and your loved ones. You can think of the following analogy: taking a course in first aid does not by itself qualify the student to be a medical doctor. Nonetheless, knowing first aid techniques can be very useful and beneficial. Similarly, learning the techniques in this book does not qualify the reader to be a professional energy healer. Regardless, you will gain important skills that will allow you to help yourself or someone you love.

It is always important to know one‟s

limitations. Medical Doctors are not Psychologists. Psychologists are not Dentists. Dentists are not Veterinarians. Professional Energy Healers do not render a medical or psychological diagnosis or perform medical or psychological treatments, unless they are appropriately licensed to do so. Readers of this book are similarly not in a position to render medical or psychological diagnoses unless they are appropriately licensed to do so.

19

The Right Approach

When learning to apply the techniques presented in this book it will be necessary to approach what you are learning with an open mind. It will also be important to practice often. As with any new skill, there will likely be a learning curve involved. That is, it may take some practice before you develop the subtle awareness of energy fields and the ability to render the appropriate techniques. It is usually very helpful to fake it „til you make it. Rather than adopting an attitude of “I‟ll believe it when I see it,” it is more useful to adopt the attitude of “I‟ll see it when I believe it.” Energy is real. Many of the ancient ideas about energy have been demonstrated with modern technology. Don‟t give up if the techniques are difficult at first. Keep trying. You will increase your awareness of subtle energy and get better at using the techniques every time you practice.

Because it may take some practice before you feel comfortable using the techniques, the first chapter of this book is designed to enable you to render healing in the quickest, easiest way possible without the need for acquiring any new skills. The remaining chapters of the book will focus on helping you develop your own knowledge and skills.

20

Going Pro

Almost anyone can learn to perform some basic energy healing techniques. The main thing is just to believe in yourself and keep practicing. The more you practice the better you get. Some people may have more of a natural aptitude for energy healing than do others. These people may wish to consider becoming professional energy healers. The Mission Energy Healing InstituteTM, which is based in Geneva, IL, and run by the author, offers a state-of-the-art training program. Courses can be completed on campus as well as through our innovative distance-learning program. Interested students may contact Mission at www.MissionEnergyHealing.com. This writer would also refer you to the author‟s forthcoming book Professional Energy Healing: the Definitive

Guide.

Keeping it Simple

Most books written on the subject of energy healing teach complicated techniques that require years of practice. This book represents a departure from the typical approach. Many considerations of professional energy healing have been foregone in order to make this book accessible to the layperson. For example, professional energy healing involves a

21

complex set of ethics, the need for an “energy exchange” between the healer and the client, and advanced knowledge of human energy physiology and pathology. In the absence of the advanced knowledge and skills required to do professional energy healing, this book offers an incredibly simplified approach that just about anyone can use. In order for this approach to work safely and effectively, the author has boiled many complicated things down into a purposefully oversimplified formula. Life is inherently more complex than any simple formula can adequately address. Nonetheless, while a formulaic approach loses the elegance and sophistication of the more complex version, it makes it accessible to a wide audience of people who otherwise would likely not have access to it.

Imagine this scenario. . .

You are enjoying an idyllic setting on your honeymoon. Pleasant aromas greet you—a mixture of foliage, ocean, and local food cooking. Caribbean music meets your ears, laden with beautiful steel drums. You feel your body relax as you breathe in the fresh air and feel the warmth of the tropical sun on your skin.

You and your spouse are coming back to the hotel from having spent some time in the ocean. The lobby of the five star hotel is immaculate. So is the elevator. As you push the button for the seventh floor you think about how beautiful the bridal suite is. The elevator begins to travel up. You give your spouse‟s hand a squeeze. Suddenly the elevator stops between floors! “You‟ve got to be kidding me,” you say. You are trapped in the elevator. You ring the lobby for help. They inform you that it will take a while to get someone there to get you out.

Chapter 1

24

Suddenly your spouse begins to have an asthma attack and starts wheezing. The inhaler is upstairs in the room. Your spouse‟s asthma attacks have required hospital attention in the past. Your mind races: What am I going to do?!?! Your spouse is gesturing to indicate serious difficulty breathing.

Then you remember: Wait—I read the first

chapter of Energy Healing for Everyone, and there

was a way to solve any problem quickly and easily! You proceed to apply the simple technique, your spouse is rescued from the asthma attack, the crew arrives to get you out of the elevator, and you go on your merry way.

Of course, later as you leave the bridal suite for dinner your spouse smiles at you, directs you away from the elevator, and says, “I hear the stairs on this island are really something to see! How about we take an excursion through the stairwell?”

How to Heal Right Now Do you experience depression or anxiety?

Did your child catch the flu this week? Is a loved one suffering from diabetes? You can benefit these conditions and any condition with energy healing right now by calling in angelic assistance. It doesn‟t matter what religion you are, or even if you are religious at all. Until you learn how to perform energy healing yourself in later chapters, this will be the fastest, safest way to heal someone.

Figure 1: Archangel Raphael is the angel of healing.

26

Anyone can call on angels, and angels are always willing to help. In energy healing, it is common to call upon Archangel Raphael to help heal someone. Archangel Raphael is the angel of healing. Raphael will respond to anyone, whether they are Christian or not; he will help you even if you are not a religious person. You may feel free to call upon any divine entity with whom you feel comfortable. Raphael is just one example. For clarity, the person receiving energy healing will be referred to as the client even when the person is yourself or a loved one. You can call upon Archangel Raphael to help heal your “client.”

Both men and women have been successfully practicing energy healing for thousands of years. In this book terms such as “he” and “she” will be used interchangeably. Think of them as gender neutral. Both men and women can be energy healers as well as clients.

To Speak or Not to Speak

Beginning healers are usually more powerful when they make statements out loud. More advanced

healers can manifest changes silently by thinking it in their heads, with faithful intent.

27

Staying Faithful The key in energy healing is to have faith that it will work. This is also true when you call upon angelic assistance. Have faith in the process. If you doubt, your mind is powerful enough to undo the result. If you have trouble maintaining faith, say, “I call upon Archangel Raphael to remove from me whatever is blocking my ability to have faith, including any fear or doubt, in the gentlest way possible, and dispose of it appropriately, now or as soon as possible, if it serves the highest good, thank you, so be it.” If you still have trouble, say the following: “I intend to release anything my Higher Self gives me permission to release at this time. So be it.” Your client also has to have faith in order for healing to take place. Be sure to encourage your client to believe in the process and to think positively.

28

Ask for Help

With the exception of pregnant women (whom this book does not prepare you to heal), you can help just about anyone with energy healing. Here is a scenario: you are really happy because your child, Chris, just finished the first grade with high marks. It is a beautiful summer day and your six year-old is out bike riding in front of the house. Suddenly Chris comes running in the house complaining of a hurt leg. As the parent, let‟s say you determine your child does not require medical attention for this small problem. (Always use common sense and get your child to a doctor when doing so seems appropriate). Nonetheless, Chris is obviously uncomfortable and shaken up. What could you do right away to address the problem?

Just say out loud (or silently in your head):

“I call on Archangel Raphael to heal Chris’ left

leg now or as soon as possible, in the gentlest

way possible, if it serves the highest good.

Thank you. In full faith, so be it.”

The following aspects must be stated:

calling in of assistance (Archangel Raphael) healing intention (what you want Archangel

Raphael to do)

29

“now, or as soon as possible” (prevents healing too fast or too slow)

“in the gentlest way possible” (so the healing experience is gentle)

“if it serves the highest good” (let the Creator decide what is best)

“thank you” (always thank the angels for assisting you)

“in full faith” (healing doesn‟t work without faith)

“so be it” (concludes the intention and sends it out into the universe to be acted upon)

Specificity is Important

Angels are very particular in their thinking. You have to spell out exactly what you want to happen in exactly the way that you want it to happen. Avoid leaving things open to interpretation. For example, if you ask for healing to occur “now,” the angelic realm may take you at your word, and healing may indeed occur immediately, and in a very harsh way that has unforeseen side effects. When you ask instead that healing occur “now, or as soon as possible,” this gives the angelic realm the flexibility to create healing for your client in the time frame that is best. In addition to being patient and allowing the timing

30

to be flexible, it is also important to intend that healing occur gently.

For example, let‟s say you have decided you would like to stop hurrying so much in life. If you ask Raphael to help you to “stop rushing around now,” and then you get in your car and start driving fast, you may get your wish by slamming into the back of a semi-truck, which brings you to a stop! Rather than leaving things open to interpretation, be specific and ask for healing to occur “now, or as soon as possible, in the gentlest way possible.” By asking to receive healing in this way, it opens things up for you to experience slowing down gently. Perhaps a co-worker or friend will make a gentle suggestion that you slow down your pace or take some time off because you seem frazzled, and she is worried about your health. That way of healing would be a lot better than the former. And if you are out on a speedboat and you are thirsty, never say, “I wish I had some water right now!”

Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re right.

31

Important Note: Use the intentions in this book exactly as they are written!

Energy healing, if not done by someone who is professionally trained, can cause unwanted side

effects. The intentions presented in this book are specific formulas designed to be safe and effective

for the non-professional healer. Hence, it is important not to deviate from them. Specifically,

you must not add, delete, or change the order of the words in the intentions.

Manifesting

When you “intend” something, saying “so be it” manifests the intention into reality. The spoken word always manifests. You may substitute similar phrases if you prefer. Examples of substitute phrases include: “amen” (Christian), “soha” (Tibetan Buddhist), or “and so it is.”

Your mind is powerful enough to create reality. The self-fulfilling prophecy tells us that when you tell a child she is no good, she is less likely to succeed; when you tell her she is valuable and skilled, she is more likely to succeed. Children will believe whatever you tell them. They will create the reality you expect of them. Similarly, your subconscious mind will believe whatever it is

32

told. Your own thoughts create your reality. This can be concerning, because we generally aren‟t aware of our unconscious thought process, which lurks below the surface of our conscious awareness. If we hold thoughts of fear, doubt, anger, sadness, and shame, then those are the experiences we will manifest for ourselves. The subconscious mind will project out into the universe whatever thoughts you feed it, thereby creating your reality. Therefore, think positively.

Positive Thinking Creates Positive Energy

In addition to having faith in your ability to heal, thinking positively is very helpful. If you catch yourself having negative thoughts, get rid of the negative thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts. For example, if you catch yourself thinking, “I am very sick and I am going to die,” say the phrase, “cancel, clear.” This phrase deprograms that intention so it does not manifest into reality. Then replace the original negative phrase with something positive. For example, “I am completely healthy, and I am feeling better and better every day. So be it.” Remember, what you believe becomes your reality.

33

Laughter as Medicine

Laughter is the best medicine. If you are seriously ill, watch a funny movie or a standup comedy show on TV every day. Also engage in humor and witty banter. Laughter releases endorphins in your body, which helps the healing process. The experience of having fun and enjoying life vibrates with life energy, and consequently shifts your energy vibration away from that of sickness and death.

Some Healing Examples

Let‟s say you have been diagnosed with liver cancer. In addition to seeking appropriate medical treatment, say out loud (or silently in your head):

“I call on Archangel Raphael to heal my liver

and any cancer in my body now or as soon as

possible, in the gentlest way possible, if it

serves the highest good. Thank you. In full

faith, so be it.”

34

Say the following to heal your spouse‟s broken arm:

“I call on Archangel Raphael to heal Pat’s

right arm now or as soon as possible, in the

gentlest way possible, if it serves the highest

good. Thank you. In full faith, so be it.”

If you have a serious or terminal illness, you

might consider performing a healing affirmation anywhere from 10-100 times per day. This process also reprograms your thinking and helps you to be more positive. This, in turn, improves your health.

To Improve Relationships and Finances

In addition to mental and physical health, relationships and finances are also important aspects of life. The following ways to improve them are so simple they don‟t even require Raphael‟s help.

Say the following intention to improve a relationship:

“I intend that all interactions, in all ways, between __________ (other person‟s name) and me serve the highest good, and occur in the gentlest way possible. I ask for a most benevolent outcome for all interactions that occur between us, if that serves the highest good, in full faith, thank you, so be it.”

35

Say the following intention to improve a troubled relationship:

“I forgive __________ (other person) with unconditional love from my heart for anything he /she has done to hurt me, and for anything I perceive him / her to have done to hurt me. I forgive myself for anything I have done to hurt him / her, and for anything I perceive myself to have done to hurt him / her. I intend to learn whatever lessons my higher self gives me permission to learn from this experience, in the gentlest way possible, now or as soon as possible, in all ways, if it serves the highest good, so be it. I ask the Creator to have mercy upon __________ (other person). This all occurs now or as soon as possible, in the gentlest way possible, if it serves the highest good, thank you, so be it.”

You can use the following intention to improve your financial situation:

“The amount of money that serves my highest good flows to me effortlessly, in the gentlest way possible, now or as soon as possible, in all ways, thank you, in full faith, if it serves the highest good, so be it.”

36

Healing Pets

A separate book could be written about performing energy healing on animals. Animals differ from humans in several important ways. For example, animals have different anatomy and physiology. They also experience diseases that humans do not typically experience, and vice versa.

That having been said, there is more that is similar than different, and you can use energy healing to heal your pets. Without further knowledge on the subject, it will be advisable for you to use a simple approach that involves calling on Archangel Raphael for assistance. The principles for healing pets are all basically the same as for healing humans. You just insert your pet‟s name when you ask Archangel Raphael to render healing.

Animals typically have fewer blockages keeping them from being connected to the Creator than do humans. Animals of all types generally respond very well to energy healing. Of course, it is always advisable to have your pet or farm animal assessed and treated by a licensed veterinarian.

Let‟s say you had your dog boarded at a kennel while you were away on business. You return home to find your dog has acquired kennel cough. After taking your dog to the vet for

37

assessment and treatment, you could use the following intention to strengthen your dog‟s energy system so its body could heal itself more quickly:

“I call on Archangel Raphael to heal Buster’s

kennel cough condition now or as soon as

possible, in the gentlest way possible, if it

serves the highest good. Thank you. In full

faith, so be it.”

It doesn‟t matter whether you want to heal a pet dog, cat, bird, fish, lizard, or a farm animal, such as a cow or pig. Energy healing can benefit all types of animals with all types of injuries or diseases. If you are healing an animal that does not have a name, you can substitute “this animal” in the blank where the animal‟s name would normally appear in the intention. As long as you have clear intent when you say it (you have the animal you are dealing with firmly in mind), the intention will work just fine. Always have a veterinarian assess and treat your animal when it seems appropriate to do so.

38

Note: In this chapter you have been introduced to the use of healing statements known as “intentions.” You will find a variety of intentions throughout this book. For your convenience, all of the intentions are listed in the appendix, by subject, for easy reference.

Professional energy healing is a complicated endeavor. The methods introduced in this book are purposefully oversimplified. If a condition does not respond to these simple techniques, seek out the assistance of a professional energy healer. Always check with your medical doctor or other appropriate treatment specialist (or veterinarian, for your pets) as well.

In order to learn more about the human being and how to heal him, you must understand energy. Chapter 2 will teach you about energy. Did you know that if you had no energy in your body you would be dead?

39

Getting to Know Your Energy

There was once a young woman who was dying from cancer. After much effort, the doctors were unable to help her. They gave her a very poor prognosis. She refused to accept this fate, and decided to take charge of her health. Many times each day she purposefully imagined herself as being healthy. She saw herself in her own mind being totally well, and she would say out loud, “I am healthy.” Miraculously, in a short amount of time she became well. How could this have happened?

The human body consists of energy that vibrates at various frequencies. Diseases also vibrate at particular frequencies. The human mind is so powerful that your thoughts can change your energy vibration. If you think healthy thoughts, you raise your frequency of energy vibration and

Chapter 2

40

thereby become healthy—even if you are already sick. You shift your frequency of energy away from the vibration of illness and towards the vibration of health. That‟s why watching comedies is good to do when you are sick. It shifts your energy toward the positive experience of laughter and joy. Joy is a healthy state. Anyone can do this. Your mind is that powerful. Energy healing is easier than you think.

Energy is everywhere. It is all around us, inside of us, and it flows through us. Our physical bodies require energy. The difference between life and death is the presence or absence of energy. Consider these facts:

You can live a while without food if you have to.

You could live a shorter time without water. Without air, your time is very short. If you have no energy, you are pretty well

instantly dead!

Energy is what animates the physical body and gives it life. If your energy is healthy, then you

are healthy. In order to perform energy healing, you must become familiar with energy. You can learn to feel the energy of the human body. You won‟t believe how easy this is! Try it.

41

Exercise 1: Sensing Your Energy

Place your hands 1-½” apart from one another. Slowly move them farther apart and closer together. Repeat this until you feel something in your hands. You may feel: heat tingling a magnetic sensation (an attraction or repulsion) something other than these.

The sensation may be different for each person. Any of these sensations are an indication that you are feeling your own energy. Put the book down and practice this now. It‟s quick and easy.

Figure 2: Move hands slowly back and forth to feel the energy.

42

Did you feel the energy? If so, congratulations! You just stepped into a larger reality. If not, keep trying. With a few attempts just about anyone can do this! It‟s easy, really!

You can feel energy in any part of the body, not just in the hands. When performing energy healing, you will use this skill to assess your client‟s

energy. Sensing your client‟s energy by feeling it with your hands is called scanning. When you scan a client‟s energy you will hold your hands close to her body and feel her energy just like you felt the energy in your own hands. You will learn more about scanning shortly.

A disease affects a person‟s energy before it affects his physical body. An adept healer can scan the client‟s energy, find disease in his energy system before it shows up in his physical body (sometimes even before doctors can detect its presence), and prevent the disease from occurring. You can also help people who already have diseases in their physical bodies. The way that you do this is by adjusting their energy fields so their bodies are empowered to heal themselves. Your client will want to seek the assessment of a doctor or other appropriate healthcare professional in addition to receiving energy healing. When a person is acutely or seriously ill or injured, it is appropriate for them to seek medical attention immediately.

43

Exercise 2: Seeing Energy (optional)

Now that you have felt energy, you can also learn to see energy. Go into a mostly-dark room. You can use a night light, dimmer switch, or just keep the door or curtain open a crack to let some light in. Put your hand up in front of you 1-½” from the wall. Look at the space around the tips of your fingers. Defocus your eyes. Stay relaxed and don‟t try too hard. When you see the clear/whitish glow around your fingertips, you are seeing energy. This will often work best against a light-colored wall. (See figure 3) Correct: looking for the clear glow around your

fingertips. Incorrect: looking for shadows on the wall. Put the book down and try this now. Did you see the energy around your hand? Some people get it on the first try. Others require several tries. If this is a new skill for you, it may require some time to develop. Remember, energy is real and you can learn to see it! Don‟t give up. The energy that you feel when you put your hands close together is the same energy you see in the clear glow around your hand. When performing energy healing you may also use this skill to assess your client‟s energy. For beginners, feeling the energy with the hand is more commonly used because it is easier than seeing the energy. If someone else is available, you can have them stand in front of the same wall in the semi-darkened room. Look around the person‟s head and shoulders for the same glow. (See figure 4)

44

Figure 3: Energy around hand.

45

Figure 4: Energy around body.

46

Exercise 3: Scanning

You will need a partner for this. Anyone who is willing will do just fine. Have your partner stand up in front of you. You are going to practice scanning her energy. Energy exists all around the human body extending out approximately 5” from the body‟s surface (See Figure 4 above). Slowly move your hands around the outside of your client‟s

body, keeping your hands about 5” away from her. You will know you are feeling her energy when you feel something like warmth, tingling, magnetic feeling, etc. Get a sense of how her energy feels. See if it differs from the left side to the right side of her body, from back to front, up and down. Is there more energy on the left side? Is there less energy in the bottom part of the body? Put the book down and try this exercise now.

Did you succeed in feeling the energy? It may take several tries before you can do it. The only way to get good at scanning is to practice. The more you do it, the better you will become. The better you get, the more accurate your assessment will be.

Once you can feel the presence of energy, the next step is to determine the quality of the energy. How amazing would it be to figure out what is wrong with someone just by feeling his energy field with your hands? In Chapter 3 you will learn how to use the skill of scanning to arrive at an assessment.

Being Top Heavy

There is less noticeable energy in the bottom part of the body, because

there aren‟t any major energy centers below the base of the spine. This is normal. You will learn more about

this in Chapter 5.

Assessment

Figuring Out What’s Going On

Let‟s go back to our example of the 6 year-old child with the hurt leg. Let‟s say your six-year-old comes running to you saying, “I fell off my bike and bumped my leg. It hurts!” How great would it be if you could heal your child? You can! And it‟s

easy to do. The first thing you do is formulate an assessment. Assessment includes two parts: interviewing and scanning. Start with interviewing by asking what happened to get a sense of the problem. Ask questions like these:

How did this happen? (provides the context to the injury, and helps determine the severity of the problem) i.e. Did you fall while going over a ramp?

Chapter 3

50

Did you fall a long distance or short distance?

How fast were you going? How did you fall and land? (a gentle,

simulated reenactment may be helpful) Which leg hurts? Which part of your leg hurts? Does the pain stay in one spot or move around? Is it a dull pain or a sharp pain? On a scale of 1-10, with “10” being the worst

pain and “1” being the least, how bad does this hurt? (pain is subjective, and everyone has a different pain tolerance; a 10-scale is helpful here)

Do any other parts of your body hurt? (i.e. was some wrist pain overlooked?)

Asking questions is important in helping you determine the nature and extent of the injury. If the injury is severe enough, of course, you would get your child to the doctor or emergency room. Once the crisis has passed, you would also perform energy healing.

In addition to helping you gain important information, asking questions helps the client feel heard, acknowledged, cared about and comforted. The client‟s anxiety level will reduce

51

when he knows someone cares about him, understands his problem, and is able to help him. This reduction in anxiety will help him to start healing. When the client is scared, it is harder for him to heal. This is because healing occurs best in an environment of love. Fear is the opposite energy of love, and therefore, prevents healing. When listening, remember to do the following:

listen without interrupting nod your head when it seems appropriate to do so use the following phrases to let them know you

hear them—

“Mm-hmm” “I see” “I hear you” “That must have been scary” “It sounds like that really hurts” “Okay” “Wow” “So, that‟s what happened.”

Simple acknowledgements that you hear the person are very important. For example, “I see,” lets them know they have been heard. It is also important to determine if you understood exactly

52

what they were trying to communicate. In order to make this determination you must accurately reflect back what you heard them say.

Provide a quick summary of what you heard. If you are concerned about your child‟s wellbeing, your fear can prevent you from hearing what your child is saying correctly. In order to clarify, you might say the following:

“So, what I heard you say was that you were riding your bike down the sidewalk, you got scared by the dog across the street, and you fell off your bike, bumping your right leg. Now your leg hurts, and it‟s a “4” on a scale of 1-10. Is that right?”

Then your client has a chance to say one of the following:

“Yes, that‟s right.” “No. I saw a frog, not a dog, and I fell on my left

leg.” “Yes, but I said it hurts like a 40, not a four!”

Never assume you heard your client correctly. Always ask. He can say “yes” or “no,” and also clarify important details.

53

Formula:

Listen / Reflect / Verify— “Mm-hmm. So, what I heard you say was. . . . Is that right?”

Once you have finished interviewing the client, you will scan the problem area. In Chapter 2 you practiced scanning to determine the presence or absence of energy. As you refine your ability to scan, you will learn to sense the quality of the energy, in addition to the simple presence or absence of energy.

Scanning

In our bicycle accident example, you would scan the leg. By moving your hands slowly over the injured area, you would be able to sense the nature of the energy. Here you would compare the energy of the injured leg to the energy of the non-injured leg by scanning both legs, one at a time. You would determine in what way the injured leg feels different from the healthy leg. If the energy of the two legs is similar, there may be less to worry

54

about. If it is different, you will want to find out why. You can also compare the energy of the injured leg to the energy of the rest of the body by scanning different areas. This offers you a sense of the client‟s baseline energy as a comparison to the energy of the injured area. You are looking for the presence of unhealthy energy.

Gaining competence and confidence in scanning takes time. In addition to practicing every chance you get, it is also important to trust your instincts. Many people who become more aware of energy say to themselves, “No, that can‟t be what‟s going on. I must just be imagining things.” Don‟t do this to yourself.

After many years of training professional energy healers, it is this writer‟s experience that the gut instinct is often correct even for beginning healers. Trust your instincts. You are more aware than you realize! Nonetheless, getting good at scanning does require time. If you are unable to get a sense of what‟s going on in a client‟s energy field, or if your client requires immediate healing, just go back to Chapter 1 and follow the directions for having Archangel Raphael heal your client. You can also scan the client so you get more practice, even if you are asking Archangel Raphael for help.

55

All Paths Lead to the Same Place

Whether your client starts out with a physical problem or an energy problem, she will often eventually have both. Unhealthy energy will eventually cause a physical problem; a physical problem will generate unhealthy energy. Whichever one starts it, they both eventually show up. For example, if a client has cancer, she will develop unhealthy energy in the cancerous region. If a client has the unhealthy energy of chronic anger, he can develop liver or heart problems.

Four Types of Unhealthy Energy

If your client has a physical disease, whether it is as simple as the common cold or as serious as cancer, he will also have diseased energy.

If your client has an injury (physical or emotional), whether a stubbed toe, broken bone, fear, or anger, he will have negative energy. The client can develop negative energy internally, or absorb it from his environment.

If a client‟s energy becomes stale and no longer has the ability to nourish his body, he has developed devitalized energy.

If he has rapid thoughts or difficulty concentrating, he may have a swirling or

56

agitated energy known as chaotic energy. Chaotic energy can be absorbed from the environment or developed internally from chaotic thought patterns or feelings.

So, the four main types of unhealthy energy are diseased (contributing to disease), negative (harmful), devitalized (stale) and chaotic (agitated or swirling). Sometimes more than one can be present at the same time.

Additional Problems

Energy constantly flows throughout your body much in the way blood flows throughout your body. Energy flows easily in a healthy body. Energy stagnates in an unhealthy body. Unhealthy energy—whether diseased, devitalized, negative or chaotic—causes stagnation in the affected area. When healthy energy tries to follow its normal path through a region that has become stagnant, it often generates excess heat as a result of pushing against the resistance. Thus stagnant energy and excess heat will often occur along with any of the four types of unhealthy energy.

57

Once you have completed assessment by interviewing and scanning the client, you will move on to healing the client. Healing involves removing unhealthy energy, stagnant energy, and excess heat. Healing is covered in Chapter 4.

Another Example of Scanning

Let‟s say your sister is experiencing discomfort in her abdomen. This could be because she is experiencing one of the following:

constipation PMS (premenstrual syndrome) muscular strain something other than these.

After your sister has seen the doctor to rule out something more serious (such as appendicitis), you will want to scan whatever area of your client is troubling her. In this example, you would scan the energy of your client‟s abdominal area with your hands.

It may be slightly more difficult to move your hand through the energy of this region compared with the energy of the rest of her body due to the presence of stagnant energy here. It is

58

harder to move your hand through stagnant energy than through energy that is flowing healthfully, because it creates resistance. You may also sense the presence of excess heat compared to the rest of the body. If food is bound up, or PMS causes bloating, or there is muscular strain in the region, energy will tend to stagnate in the problem area. Any disease or injury will tend to cause energy to stagnate in the affected region. Where stagnation occurs, the energy trying to push through the stagnant region will eventually create excess heat as well. Stagnancy and excess heat are both unhealthy for the body. When you are scanning a sick or injured part of the body, the energy may feel stagnant, hot and like the following:

heavy dense sticky dirty yucky thick empty chaotic

or painful (you may feel the client‟s pain in

your hand a little).

59

The more you practice scanning, the better you will get at “sensing” the quality of the client‟s energy. Scanning helps you to arrive at an assessment. Assessment may include any of the following findings: negative energy, diseased energy, devitalized energy, chaotic energy, stagnant energy, or excess heat. With your developing knowledge and skills, you are one step closer to performing the miracle of healing by yourself unassisted.

Let‟s say it‟s Saturday afternoon. You are spending time with your best friend enjoying your favorite activity together. You are having a blast! Suddenly your friend is not feeling well. With your new skills, you are able to arrive at an energy assessment and figure out what is energetically wrong! It is clear to you from scanning that your friend is experiencing negative energy and chaotic energy. Wouldn‟t you also want to know what to do to make your friend feel better? Chapter 4 will teach you how to help someone heal by adjusting his energy field.

61

Healing Basics

Once you have established an assessment from interviewing and scanning your client, you are ready to render healing. There are three approaches to healing depending upon your skill level:

asking Archangel Raphael to heal the client for you (Chapter 1)

assessing the client and asking Archangel Raphael to assist you by carrying out your specific healing instructions (this chapter)

assessing and healing the client all by yourself without any angelic assistance (Chapter 5)

Now you will take more of a lead role, asking Archangel Raphael to carry out your instructions, rather than having Archangel Raphael decide everything for you.

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

62

Important Note: Because you are now beginning to work more independently of angelic assistance, it is strongly advised that you read the entire book before “flying solo.” Many additional skills are presented in the following chapters which are necessary for proper performance of energy healing.

Let‟s go back to our example of the six year-old client. You have interviewed the client, listening carefully, and learned that Chris‟ leg hurts. You have scanned the leg determining that it has negative and stagnant energy along with excess heat. When you compare the two legs energetically by scanning, the non-injured leg will be your normative reference point. The energy of the injured leg will likely feel different from the energy of the normal leg.

You will notice stagnant energy because it is harder to move your hand through a stagnant energy field. Negative energy feels different than healthy energy. You will recognize negative energy because it feels a little “funky” compared to the healthy energy of the non-injured leg. You may also feel a little mild discomfort or pain in your hand because you are sensing the client‟s pain. If this occurs, it means you are developing increased sensitivity to energy fields. This increased

63

sensitivity will serve you well while scanning clients. To get rid of the feeling of discomfort, simply run your hands (and arms, if necessary) under running tap water for 20 seconds. Water will help remove the unhealthy energy from your hands.

Unhealthy energy is connected to the client by beams of energy. Whenever you remove unhealthy energy, you also have to remove the beams that connect it to the client, or the unhealthy energy may simply return to the client. Some healers recommend “cutting” the beams of energy by envisioning a pair of scissors slicing the beams. This is not the best approach. A better approach is to completely remove the beams of energy. It would be as if a tick attached itself to your skin. If you just yank the tick off of you, the part of the tick that connects it to you will remain under your skin. That part also has to be removed. That‟s why it is recommended that you light a match and hold the flame near the tick (without burning yourself, of course), which will cause the tick to completely let go of you. Then no part of the tick is left connected to you. Similarly, after removing the unhealthy energy from your client you must also completely remove the beams of energy that connect the unhealthy energy to the client, not simply cut away a part of them.

64

Unhealthy energy can cause an unhealthy physical or mental condition. This unhealthy energy can be absorbed from your environment. Therefore, whenever you remove unhealthy energy and unhealthy energy beams from a client, you have to dispose of them appropriately, so they won‟t remain in the environment and re-infect the client or someone else (including you). At this point, the simplest and safest way to do this is to ask Archangel Raphael to dispose of them appropriately. He knows what to do with them.

Whenever you remove unhealthy energy and unhealthy beams from a client, you leave behind a void in the client. When a client has an energetically “empty” area, an energetic vacuum is created. This vacuum will tend to draw in unhealthy energy from the universe. To prevent this, you have to fill in the voided places with healing energy. The simplest and safest way to do this is to ask Archangel Raphael to fill in the voided places with healing energy for you.

65

An Example of Healing

To treat the six-year-old‟s condition you would call upon Archangel Raphael, and ask him to remove the negative and stagnant energies from the client‟s leg:

“I call upon Archangel Raphael to remove all

negative and stagnant energy, and unhealthy

energy beams from Chris’ left leg, dispose of

them appropriately, and fill in any voided

places with healing energy, in the gentlest

way possible, now or as soon as possible, if it

serves the highest good, in full faith, thank

you, so be it.”

66

Facilitate Rather than Heal

Energy healing is a complicated endeavor. To keep it simple and safe, just remember one rule: only do things for your client that serve his highest

good. That means the Creator wants the client to have that experience. If you “play” Creator yourself and determine to remove some energy from the client‟s injured leg, this may or may not be best for the client. Maybe it serves the client‟s

highest good to continue to have that energy there!

Figure 5: You can ask Archangel Raphael to assist

you with specific healing tasks.

67

Seen from an energy healing perspective, unpleasant experiences often occur to allow us an opportunity to learn important life lessons. If the client hasn‟t learned the lessons yet, taking away his discomfort may not serve his highest good at this time. It‟s hard for humans to know what is ultimately best. The Creator always knows what is best. So, that makes it easy. You don‟t have to know everything; you just have to ask the Creator to oversee your work. It is safer and easier to be a facilitator than a healer.

Some More Examples of Healing

The mind is powerful enough to create healing in yourself and others. If you believe that someone is healing, he is more likely to do so. Let‟s go back to your six year-old client, Chris, who has a mildly injured leg from riding a bicycle. Chris might complain about excess heat and a painful, throbbing sensation in the injured area. Is it a good idea to remove the heat? Is the heat helping or hurting the situation? Just intend to remove it only if it serves the highest good.

68

Say out loud or silently in your own mind:

“I call on Archangel Raphael to remove all

excess heat and unhealthy beams from Chris’

right leg and dispose of them appropriately,

now or as soon as possible, in the gentlest way

possible, if it serves the highest good. Thank

you. In full faith, so be it.”

When you say, “If it serves the highest good,” you are okay either way. If the Creator wants that to happen, it will happen. If the Creator doesn‟t

want that to happen, it won‟t. Be a facilitator rather than a healer.

Let‟s say your spouse has hepatitis C, which affects the liver. You can say the following:

“I call on Archangel Raphael to heal Pat’s

hepatitis condition and liver, to remove all

unhealthy energies from Pat, to remove all

unhealthy beams of energy between Pat and

the removed energies, and to fill in all voided

places in Pat with healing energy from Pat’s

divine Higher Self, now or as soon as possible,

in the gentlest way possible, if it serves the highest good. Thank you. In full faith, so be

it.”

69

It is appropriate to use this intention after your spouse has seen a medical doctor.

If you are experiencing depression, you can say the following:

“I call on Archangel Raphael to remove all

sadness, depression and unhealthy energy

beams from me, and to fill in all voided places

in me with healing energy from my divine

Higher Self, now or as soon as possible, in the

gentlest way possible, if it serves the highest

good. Thank you. In full faith, so be it.”

It is appropriate to use this intention after seeing a mental health professional.

70

If your daughter has a wart on her right pointing finger, you can say:

“I call on Archangel Raphael to remove all

diseased energy, negative energy and

unhealthy beams from my daughter’s right

pointing finger and from the area of the wart,

to dispose of them appropriately, and to fill in

any voided places in her with healing energy

from her divine Higher Self, now or as soon as

possible, in the gentlest way possible, if it

serves the highest good, thank you, in full

faith, so be it.”

In such an instance, it would be appropriate

to have your daughter consult a doctor about her wart as well.

If you aren’t sure what‟s wrong or how to

heal the region of the body, just say the following:

“I call on Archangel Raphael to heal

__________’s (client’s name) __________

(injured or diseased area of body) in the way

that serves the highest good, in the gentlest

way possible, now or as soon as possible, if it

serves the highest good, thank you, in full

faith, so be it.”

71

Always encourage your clients to seek medical or psychological help when doing so seems appropriate.

When you heal the client‟s energy field, her physical body will generally begin healing, too. It is also true that when a doctor heals the client‟s

physical body, the client‟s energy field will improve. Either way, healing one also causes the other to heal.

With this approach you are still a facilitator, rather than a healer, which is safer and easier. With your increasing knowledge and skills, you are taking a more direct and directive role. Nonetheless, it is still best to have Archangel Raphael oversee your work, and for you to intend to heal only in ways that “serve the highest good.” When your knowledge and skills are advanced enough, you will be able to heal on your own without angelic assistance.

Everyone naturally experiences three common energetic problems on a daily basis, each of which makes it harder to be healthy. Wouldn‟t

you want to know what these problems are and how to fix them so you can improve your health? Keep reading!

73

Surface-Level Healing

You can easily learn to heal the general problems everyone experiences. The techniques taught here are some of the simplest ever designed. Before you learn them, you will first need to know just a little bit more about energy.

We have already discussed the aura, the energy field that exists very close to the surface of the physical body. In Chapter 2 you felt the aura in your hand and saw it if you tried the optional exercise of seeing energy. In addition to this energy field, there are two other fields, for a total of three. They are the aura, the shield, and the container, and they are described in the pages that follow.

Chapter 5

74

The Three Energy Fields of the Human Body

Energy Field 1—Aura (see figure 7)

exists all around the body approximately 5

inches from the body surface you scan this aura to determine if there is

something wrong with the person‟s energy i.e. if a client says his arm hurts, you would

scan the aura of his arm to determine why you can feel several things in the aura that can

require healing: Negative Energy: i.e. unhealthy anger, toxic

energy absorbed from environment, etc. Diseased Energy: i.e. energy causing

cancer, common cold, etc. Devitalized Energy: “stale” energy Chaotic Energy: energy that is swirling

and/or agitated

75

Stagnant Energy: not flowing properly; stuck (can cause excess heat to build up in area)

Excess Heat: too much heat in an organ or area of body (sometimes due to stagnation)

healing the aura requires removing these unhealthy energies (covered in Chapter 6)

Energy Field 2—Shield (see figure 7)

Chinese medicine tells us the lungs push

defensive energy outward to defend the body defensive energy extends out the pores in the

skin, forming beams of energy the defensive beams emanating from the pores

collectively form the shield the shield exists all around the body

approximately 3 feet from the body‟s surface if the shield is strong, the immune system will

repel germs and negative energy if the shield is weak, the person can become ill

more easily when the shield is weak, the person will have

non-linear beams which tend to be tangled up healing the shield requires straightening out the

defensive beams (covered in Chapter 6)

76

Energy Field 3—Container (see figure 7)

defines “you” by differentiating your energy

from the general energy of the universe extends all around the body just three inches

outside the shield when the container is whole, your energy is

contained properly within you when the container has holes in it, your energy

can leak out, which is not good! healing the container involves sealing the holes

(covered in Chapter 6)

There are additional aspects to these energy fields, additional information that can be determined by assessing them, and in fact, additional energy fields besides the ones mentioned here. Professionally trained energy healers are able to interpret all aspects of all the human energy fields. For the purposes of this book, a simpler presentation of the information was felt to be adequate.

77

Figure 7: The Three Energy Fields.

Aura: 5” from body. You scan this to

understand what’s wrong with the energy

field.

Shield: 3’ from the body. The shield and

beams defend the body. Straighten the

beams to strengthen the immune system.

Container: 3’3” from the body. The

container differentiates you from your

energetic environment. Seal holes to stop

energy leakage.

78

A Good General Approach to Healing

A good approach to general healing involves healing all three energy fields. You have already learned about healing the aura. You do this when you scan the energy of the injured area and then ask Archangel Raphael to remove the unhealthy energies there. In addition to healing this layer of the energy field, it will also be important to heal the other two layers of the energy field—the defensive shield and the container layers.

So far you have been calling on the angelic realm for assistance. As you practice, you can develop some of your own healing skills. Many healing tasks require advanced knowledge and skills in order to be done safely. Working with the defensive beams and the container are generally safe to do on your own, even as a beginner. Therefore, these techniques can be accomplished without angelic assistance.

Most people develop general problems with their energy field from coming into daily contact with unhealthy environmental energies. If no action is taken, absorption of these unhealthy energies will generally be unavoidable. As a result of this daily contact with unhealthy energy, clients develop tangled defensive beams and holes in their containers, in addition to other problems.

79

Straightening the client‟s defensive beams and correcting holes in the client‟s container will help to remedy this condition. Straightening the defensive beams helps the client defend himself against germs and negative energy because it strengthens the energy shield. Sealing the holes reinforces the layer of energy that helps define the boundary between the client and his environment.

Overview of General Healing

When you perform energy healing, you will want to address the general problems with the client‟s energy field in addition to healing her specific complaint. You will begin by interviewing and scanning the client to determine what is wrong. Then you will perform four types of healing: sealing holes in the container, straightening the defensive beams, performing general healing, and healing the specific problem. This will provide a more thorough healing than simply treating the specific problem. If the client has become ill, it may be because her defensive beams are weak or entangled. You must heal the beams as well as the energetic condition underlying the illness. Similarly, holes in the container may need to be sealed to prevent further problems for the client. General healing is like a tune-up, whereas healing

80

the specific problem addresses the client‟s main

concern.

Even if you aren‟t healing sick or injured people who require specific healing, you can heal your family members regularly in order to prevent illness. You can also perform preventative healing on yourself. How often you perform preventative healing depends upon your schedule. Healing once a week is great if you can manage it. You do this by healing the defensive beams, healing the container, and providing some general healing. This will greatly improve health and prevent illness. It is even more important to do this for clients who are ill or injured.

Correcting Holes in the Container

Remember, the container is a field of energy that exists all around the body 3‟3” from the body‟s

surface. To seal holes in the client‟s container, imagine in your mind‟s eye a ball of healthy, white energy sitting on top of the client‟s container. Visualize (with your mind) spreading the energy down and all around the container from top to bottom, 360 degrees. You can also move your hands down around the client‟s body if this helps you visualize what you are doing. As you spread this energy across the container, visualize sealing

81

any holes that exist in the container, and making it whole. You can also mentally say the following:

“All holes in __________’s (client name)

container are sealed now or as soon as

possible if that serves the highest good, so

be it.”

82

Figure 8: Create an energy ball to seal holes in the container.

83

Healing the Defensive Beams

After you finish sealing holes in the client‟s container, you will want to straighten her defensive beams. Remember, the defensive beams extend out 3‟ from the body‟s surface in all directions, forming a field of energy called the shield. The defensive beams will often become non-linear and entangle. Visualize a straightening device on top of the shield. This is a large circular comb ringed with “teeth.” Visualize running the straightening device down through the defensive beams gently from top to bottom. Then bring the straightening device back up through the beams all the way to the top. Finally, bring the device down one last time through the beams to the bottom. When this process is complete, dispose of the device appropriately. You may use the following intention to accomplish this:

“I call on Archangel Raphael to dispose of this

straightening device now or as soon as

possible in the way that serves the highest

good. Thank you, in full faith, so be it.”

84

Figure 9: Use a straightening device to straighten the

defensive beams.

85

General Healing

After you have sealed holes in the client‟s

container, and straightened the defensive beams, it is a good idea to perform some general healing before moving on to healing specific concerns. In general healing you simply remove unhealthy energies from the client‟s whole energy system to promote health. You will remove only unhealthy energy; healthy energy will remain. You will want to avoid dragging unhealthy energy from one area of the body through another area that is delicate, such as the eyes, brain, or a major organ. You must get the unhealthy energy out of the body in a safe manner. One way to do this is to set up a cosmic

vacuum cleaner.

To do this, you simply imagine bringing a vacuum hose down from the sky. At the far end it is connected to a divine vacuum cleaner. Imagine that the hose will suck the client‟s unhealthy energy into the cosmic vacuum cleaner, which will dispose of the unhealthy energies in a way that is safe and serves the highest good. Imagine bringing the hose down from the sky, and place it underneath the client‟s feet.

Then you will say the following (out loud or in your own head):

86

“This hose removes all negative, diseased,

devitalized, and chaotic energy, and unhealthy

energy beams that connect __________

(client’s name) to these energies, from

__________ (client’s name) in all ways, in the

gentlest way possible and in the way that

serves the highest good. The removed

energies and energy beams will be disposed of

in a way that serves the highest good. All

voided places in __________ (client’s name)

will be filled in with healing energy from his /

her divine Higher Self. This process happens

automatically, now or as soon as possible, and

stops when the process is complete. When

this process is complete, the hose will also be

disposed of appropriately. Thank you, in full

faith, if it serves the highest good, so be it.”

After you place the hose underneath the feet of the client, and create the healing intention, unhealthy energies all the way from the head to the feet will flow down and out. Since you have already set the intent that the unhealthy energy will flow out of the client in the gentlest way possible, and in the way that serves the highest good, you don‟t need to be concerned about organs or delicate areas being contaminated. The intention is designed so that no harm will be done to the client. Also, this intent ensures that the unhealthy energies can be recycled and used elsewhere in the universe.

87

Energy that is unhealthy for one part of the universe may be healthy for another part of the universe.

Since you have set the intent for this process to happen automatically and to end automatically when it is done, you need do nothing further regarding this process. How long the process will require depends on many variables. It could take anywhere from three minutes to several hours. You don‟t have to wait for the process to finish since you have programmed it to stop automatically when it is complete. You can safely move on to the next healing task.

Specific Healing

Once you have sealed the container, straightened the defensive beams, and performed general healing, you can address the specific problem you identified through interviewing and scanning the client. Remember, there are many types of energy that you may need to remove from an injured or diseased part of the body. A review of energies that you may need to remove will include the following types:

88

negative diseased devitalized chaotic

and excess heat.

Flying Solo

When you are ready to remove the unhealthy energies from the specific injured or diseased part of the client‟s body, you may now be interested in performing more of the work yourself rather than having Archangel Raphael do it for you.

Important Note: NEVER heal a pregnant woman. Many side effects and serious problems can occur, including miscarriage. If a pregnant woman requires energy healing, she must be referred to a professional energy healer who has specialized training in this area. It is also recommended that you refrain from healing persons who are experiencing active positive symptoms of psychosis, or who are drunk or high. And, of course, if someone suddenly comes down very ill or is seriously wounded, he needs to go straight to the emergency room.

89

Saltwater Solution

When you remove unhealthy energy from a client‟s body, you have to put it somewhere safe. In the same way that a doctor places a used hypodermic needle into a biohazardous sharps container, you will place the unhealthy energy into saltwater. It‟s really easy to create the saltwater solution. You just throw a handful of salt into a container full of water. You don‟t have to mix it or wait for it to dissolve. The water absorbs the unhealthy energy, and the salt breaks it down. The container can be a dog bowl, or a Tupperware® container, or whatever you want. The only caveat is that it must be used for this purpose only. Don‟t use the container for anything other than disposal of unhealthy energy. If you turn around and use it for cooking or eating, you can become contaminated with left-over unhealthy energy. When you are done healing, just dump the water in the toilet, and then put the container away somewhere where no one will accidentally use it for cooking or eating (or feeding pets).

After you have prepared the saltwater solution, you are ready to remove the unhealthy energy from your client. In order to remove the unhealthy energy from the client‟s body, you simply scoop it out with your hand. Visualize the energy being removed as your hand passes through the

90

energy field of the injured or diseased area of the body. For example, if your client has a bruised arm, you focus on scooping negative energy out of the aura around that area of the arm, and also scooping just beneath the surface of the skin. If the problem is deeper in the body, say in the liver, then imagine extending the energy field of your hand deeper into the client‟s liver and scooping out the energy. The liver, by the way, is on the right side of the body below the chest.

Scoop out the unhealthy energy and throw it into the saltwater solution. As you throw the energy into the solution, imagine the unhealthy energy moving from your hand into the saltwater at the same time as you make the throwing motion with your hand. It doesn‟t need to be a baseball throw, just a gentle toss. It is especially effective if you “flick” your hand. Continue scooping and tossing the energy into the saltwater. Repeat this 50 times or until your hand passes very easily through the region, or until you feel no more unhealthy energies there. Another good way to tell if you are done is if the client says he feels better. You will now want to remove energy beams between the client and the energy you have removed from the client. Remember, energies that are removed from the client are technically still connected to the client by energy beams. If you do not remove these energy

91

beams, the energies may return to the client. You may use the following intention to remove the energy beams:

“All energy beams between the removed

energies and __________(client’s name) are

removed into the saltwater solution, and all

voided places in __________(client’s name)

are filled in with healing energy from his /

her divine Higher Self now or as soon as

possible, in the gentlest way possible, if it

serves the highest good, thank you, so be it.”

When this process is complete, dump the saltwater solution in the toilet and wash your hands under running water.

Frequency of Healing

The type and severity of the client‟s problem will determine how often you will want to heal the client‟s energy system. For the purposes of this book we can keep it simple and classify problems into four types: minor, moderate, long-term, and severe / terminal. As an energy healer you will not be treating physical or emotional illness. You will heal the client‟s energy field, which will help the client‟s body to heal itself.

92

Minor Problems

Minor injuries and illnesses generally require anywhere from a single healing to a few healings. Minor problems are relatively insignificant, respond well to medical treatment, and can usually be completely fixed. Examples of minor problems include scrapes, bruises, strained muscles, headache, sunburn, the common cold, and premenstrual syndrome. In the example of the six-year-old who has received a very minor leg injury from a bicycle spill, full recovery may only require a single healing. If addressed early, this problem will be resolved more quickly than would happen if no healing were applied. Pain and discomfort can also more quickly be reduced. A headache will often improve with a single healing. The common cold may require 3-4 healings over the course of several days (one per day). The energetic components underlying these conditions tend to respond well to energy healing. Some cases may require medical attention as well.

Moderate Problems

If the client has a malady of moderate severity, several healings may be required. Moderate problems are more severe than minor problems. They last for a short to moderate amount

93

of time, tend to respond well to medical treatment, and can often be completely fixed. Examples of moderate problems include flu, fever, chicken pox, short-term anxiety, or a broken bone.

In the case of the flu, several healings may be required to speed up recovery (in a relatively healthy person) or to ensure that recovery occurs at all (in an elderly or immune-compromised individual). For the flu, it may be wise to give the client two healings on the first day of symptoms (in this case symptoms would be body aches, fever, etc.), and then one healing per day until the client is fully recovered. If healing is done well on the first day, the client may recover immediately and avoid experiencing the full-blown illness. This occurs because the energy healer helps the client‟s body heal itself. Keep in mind that while for some people the flu may represent a simple nuisance, for others medical attention may be required. When in doubt, always see your doctor.

In the case of a broken bone, after the client has sought appropriate medical care, it may be beneficial to apply energy healing to speed the healing process. An appropriate frequency of healing would be two to three healings per week for the first two weeks, and then one healing per week until the condition is completely fixed. Many of the conditions listed under the heading “Moderate

94

Problems” require medical attention. Many clients with these problems will also benefit from energy healing.

Ongoing Problems

Ongoing problems range in severity from mild to moderate. They last for a moderate to lengthy amount of time (in some cases forever), may or may not respond well to medical treatment, and may not be able to be completely fixed. Sometimes physical medicine and pharmacy can control the symptoms of the disease. Nonetheless, some clients may have difficulty getting rid of the disease. For some diseases, there is no cure available in biomedicine. These problems provide an ideal situation in which to apply energy healing.

Ongoing problems include arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, hyperthyroidism, depression, anxiety, alcoholism, drug abuse, genital herpes, schizophrenia, and chronic hepatitis. These problems often require medical or psychological treatment. Professional energy healers can sometimes improve the client‟s energy system to the point where the client‟s body spontaneously generates a “miraculous cure” for these types of problems, in which case the problems may go away completely and forever. The author has personally

95

witnessed many such miracles. This can sometimes be accomplished by invoking for a divine miracle on behalf of the client. Many medical doctors even recognize the importance of allowing the Creator to be present in the healing process.

In the absence of professional energy healer training, you will likely be able to improve the client‟s energy system so the client‟s body can heal itself to a certain extent. When this occurs, the client may experience fewer or less intense symptoms, even though the client may not become free from the disease completely. In some cases, non-professional Energy Healers may be able to bolster the client‟s energy system to the point where the client‟s body creates a “miraculous cure.” The likelihood of this happening depends upon the strength of the healer‟s connection to the Creator, the clarity of the healer‟s intent, and whether or not it serves the highest good for the client to heal at that time (see Chapter 10 for more on this subject). To empower the client‟s energy system to keep symptoms to a minimum, it may be a good idea to perform one energy healing per week for the duration of the illness. You may also consider referring the client to a professional energy healer.

96

Severe/Terminal Problems

The final category includes problems that are severe, and in some cases terminal in nature. They may come on suddenly and can cause death. These types of problems include meningitis, appendicitis, suicidal thinking/behavior, AIDS, and cancer to name a few. In the case of problems like meningitis, appendicitis, or suicidal behavior immediate medical or psychological attention is appropriate. In some cases of appendicitis the appendix can burst, causing blood poisoning which can be fatal. Problems like appendicitis have to be closely monitored by a doctor. Other types of severe problems like AIDS or cancer may threaten death less immediately, and may have a much longer course. These problems require prompt medical attention as well. All of the energetic patterns that accompany these conditions can be benefitted by energy healing.

Miraculous recoveries do happen as a result of energy healing. To pursue these types of results may require the assistance of a professional energy healer. For severe, life-threatening problems that come on suddenly, you will want to get the client to a medical doctor immediately and then perform energy healing. You may have to perform energy healing for the client at the hospital if she is staying there. Life threatening problems that occur

97

suddenly may require four energy healings on the first day. This can be followed up with 1-2 healings daily for the next one to two weeks. For long-term problems that will not immediately cause death, it may be fine to follow up these healings with additional healings one to two times each week for the duration of the illness. For additional information on the process of healing severe and terminally ill clients, refer to Chapter 11.

Summary

A thorough healing involves performing the following procedures:

interview the client scan the client set up a saltwater solution seal holes in the client‟s container by

visualizing a healing energy ball comb the client‟s defensive beams by

visualizing a combing device perform general healing on the client by

visualizing a cosmic vacuum cleaner heal specific areas of illness or injury by

scooping out unhealthy energies into the saltwater solution

98

remove energy beams and fill in voided places

dump the saltwater in the toilet wash your hands (to get rid of unhealthy

energy residue)

It is helpful to address the surface-level energetic condition because your client will usually feel better. If that‟s all you do, though, the problem is likely to come back again. And again. And again. Let‟s say you heal your grandmother‟s

energy system, her body heals itself, and her symptoms go away. She is so happy because she feels good for the first time in eight years! A week later she is demoralized and upset because the condition returned. You never healed the underlying energetic cause! Wouldn‟t it be great to offer your grandmother long-term relief? While Chapter 5 deals only with surface-level healing, Chapter 6 will show you how to perform deeper healing.

99

Deeper Healing

Once you have performed the basic

healing—sealing the container, straightening the defensive beams, performing general healing, and healing the specific problem area—you can then provide a deeper healing by healing the underlying energetic causes of the client‟s surface-level problems. If you only address the surface problems, the condition is likely to return. When you also heal the underlying energetic cause of the condition, there is a better chance you can permanently get rid of the problem. Addressing the underlying energetic cause will often involve healing the energy centers (discussed below).

Energy exists everywhere in the human body. Some places have more energy than others. Human energy tends to localize in seven primary areas along the spine, also known as chakras (see figure 6).

Chapter 6

100

Each of these areas of concentrated energy governs an aspect of the self. Here is the simple version:

Figure 6: The Energy Centers.

The Base Energy Center orients downward and

connects you to the earth.

The Crown Energy Center orients upward and

connects you to sky energy.

The other Energy Centers orient both to the front and

back of the body.

101

Each of these areas of concentrated energy governs an aspect of your mind, body and spirit. Here is the simple version:

The Seven Energy Centers of the Human Body

1 Name / Location: base (base of spine)

Aspect: earth / survival / grounding

orients downward toward the earth, and connects you to the energy of the earth (you will learn more about this in Chapter 10)

helps you to be “grounded” governs survival instinct helps draw earth energy into your body supports the body (just like the base of a

pyramid supports a pyramid; hence the name base)

102

if the base energy center is strong, then the physical body is strong

if the physical body is weak, this may be because the base energy center is weak

2 Name / Location: sacral (2” below navel)

Aspect: sexuality / creation / emotion

provides the energy for creation the energy can be used for procreation or any

other type of creation, including artistic governs emotions

3 Name / Location: solar plexus (below sternum, between lower ribs)

Aspect: personal power

the ego self the part of you that says, “I want this,” or “I will

create that.”

103

4 Name / Location: heart (center of chest)

Aspect: love

governs the love of self / others / Creator if you increase the love for any one of these,

you increase the love for all three!

5 Name / Location: throat

Aspect: speech / communication / self-expression

helps you to communicate your ideas to others helps you to express who you are

6 Name / Location: third eye (between eyebrows)

Aspect: intuition / clairvoyance

helps you access your intuition helps you to sense energy helps you with advanced techniques such as

“seeing” energy with your eyes closed!

104

7 Name / Location: crown (top of head)

Aspect: spirituality / thought / understanding

just as the base connects you to earth energy, the crown connects you to sky energy

provides the polar balance to the base energy center

provides connection to the Creator, angels, etc. when you call on Archangel Raphael, you

connect with him through the crown center.

So, those are the seven main energy centers. That wasn‟t too hard. The energies from the seven centers collectively radiate outward from the body to form the energy field around the body which we have already discussed, called the aura. You already felt this energy field in your hands (Chapter 2), and you saw it if you performed the optional exercise of viewing the clear glow.

105

Healing the Energy Centers

Check this out: when you or someone you care about has a problem with. . .

finances / work—you heal their base center because it governs survival

sexuality / emotions / creativity—you heal their sacral center

assertiveness—you heal their solar plexus center because it governs personal power

love—a professional energy healer can heal their heart center (see important note below)

communication—you heal their throat center because it governs communication

intuition—you heal their third eye center spiritual connection—you heal their crown

center because it governs connection to the Creator

monkeys—you heal their monkey center (Just kidding! There is no monkey center. Seeing if you were paying attention.)

A More Thorough List

You can refer to the following list to determine which energy centers to heal for each of the following conditions. How to heal the energy centers will be covered in a moment.

106

Heal the base center for anything that involves survival. Here are some examples: suicidal thinking (immediate mental health

treatment is also required) fear of death lack of financial resources lack of material resources (housing, food,

adequate clothing)

Heal the sacral center for anything that involves sexuality / emotions / creativity. Here are some examples:

infertility lack of sexual desire fear of sex inability to achieve orgasm inability to connect to emotions inability to express emotions (you may also

need to heal the throat center for this) inability to experience creativity inability to express creativity (you may also

need to heal the throat center for this)

Heal the solar plexus center for anything that involves ego / personal power. Here are some examples: lack of personal power abuse of personal power

107

inability to assert one‟s self lack of confidence bullying behavior

The heart center can be healed by a

professional energy healer for anything that involves love. Here are some examples: inability to open one‟s heart inability to give love inability to receive love inability to connect with a romantic partner inability to act ethically (inability to make

decisions from the heart level)

Note: It is only appropriate for professionally-trained energy healers to heal the heart energy center. It is dangerous for untrained persons to work on the heart center. The heart center has effects on the physical heart. Refer your client to a professional energy healer instead for conditions requiring heart center healing.

Heal the throat center for anything that

involves communication / self-expression. Here are some examples: difficulty communicating inability expressing one‟s opinions

108

being uncomfortable with the sound of one‟s

voice inability expressing creativity (you may also

have to heal the sacral center)

Heal the third eye center for anything that involves concentration / intuition / psychic abilities. Here are some examples: inability to access intuition inability to focus inability to think clearly inability to access psychic information

(generally applicable to professional healers)

Heal the crown center for anything that involves spirituality. Here are some examples: inability to feel connected to the Creator / sky

energy inability to talk to or receive information from

the Creator inability to connect to one‟s Higher Self

This is just a small sample of some of the common problems associated with each of the energy centers. There is much more information associated with each of the energy centers. In fact there are additional energy centers beyond the ones listed. The information given here is only meant to serve as a brief introduction for the beginner.

109

How to Heal the Energy Centers

Addressing the underlying energetic cause for a given problem may involve healing an energy center. You heal an energy center by visualizing a cosmic vacuum cleaner in front of the energy center removing unhealthy energies. Remember that unhealthy energy can include several types: negative, diseased, devitalized, chaotic, and stagnant energies, as well as excess heat.

After visualizing the cosmic vacuum cleaner in front of the energy center, use the following intention, inserting the appropriate energy center for the client‟s condition from the list above in the blank:

“Everything that __________’s (client’s

name) Higher Self gives permission to be

removed from his / her __________

(specific energy center name) energy center,

including any negative, diseased, devitalized

and chaotic energy, and all energy beams

connecting him/ her to these energies, are

removed. The removed energies and energy

beams will be disposed of in a way that serves

the highest good. All voided places in

__________ (client’s name) will be filled in

with healing energy from __________’s

(client’s name) divine Higher Self. This

process happens automatically and stops when

110

the process is complete. When this process

is complete, the hose will also be disposed of

appropriately. This happens now or as soon as

possible, in the gentlest way possible, if it

serves the highest good, in full faith, thank

you, so be it.”

An Example Let‟s say your spouse, Pat, has trouble

communicating. There can be a number of reasons for this to occur. Regardless of the reason, it will be a good idea to heal Pat‟s throat energy center, because this center governs communication and self-expression. First you would seal any holes in Pat‟s container, straighten Pat‟s defensive beams, and use a cosmic vacuum cleaner to perform general healing. Then you would clear unhealthy energy from Pat‟s throat energy center by visualizing a cosmic vacuum cleaner, and using the above intention to remove unhealthy energies from the throat energy center.

111

Important Note

There are certain energy healing techniques which are best left to the professionals. In particular, it is generally not appropriate for non-professional energy healers to heal the heart energy center. This is because the energy field of the heart energy center directly affects the physical heart itself. If your client has issues that would be improved by working with the heart energy center, it is best to refer your client to a professional energy healer.

The methods taught in this book are different from those used by professional energy healers. It is generally safe for the non-professional to make use of the methods taught in this book. However, there can be many complex reasons why clients suffer from various conditions; and many of these conditions would be better-served by the skills of a professional energy healer. Any clients who do not respond well to the basic healing techniques taught in this book should be referred to a professional energy healer. The client should also be encouraged to see a medical doctor or other treatment specialist as appropriate.

112

So far you have learned how to remove unhealthy energies from your client. What happens if the client doesn‟t have enough energy in the first place? For example, what if your spouse is tired all the time as the result of a very stressful job promotion and doesn‟t seem to have enough energy to get through the day? What would you do then? Chapter 7 will give you the solution.

113

Energizing

Not Enough Energy

Let‟s say you are happily married and very in love with your spouse. Pat comes home one day and tells you, “I just got a big promotion at work!” You are very excited. Now you can get that new swimming pool and take that great vacation the family has been planning for so long! You go out to dinner to celebrate. Six months later, the long hours and additional work stress seem to be catching up with Pat. The job is taking its toll. You notice Pat comes home exhausted with no energy. The usual positive mood, fun-loving nature, passion and excitement are all gone. Pat no longer has the energy to talk with you at the end of the day, and goes to bed early every night. There is a new irritableness and shorter temper. Pat never has time

Chapter 7

114

to clean the new swimming pool, much less enjoy it. Pat‟s medical doctor suspects chronic fatigue syndrome and hasn‟t been able to improve the condition. What can you do to help?

We have discussed the fact that people can have unhealthy energies. Now it is time to introduce another problem—lack of energy. A person may simply not have enough energy to begin with. You can see this in a person who is very tired, perhaps chronically so. You can also see this in someone who has recently been ill. In addition to healing clients who have unhealthy energies, you can also heal clients who don‟t have enough energy. The way to do this is to supply the client with more energy.

Heal Unhealthy Energies before Energizing

Before you learn how to energize clients, we must discuss some guidelines. Clients will tend to have some unhealthy energy in them. If you send energy into them when they are not energetically “clean” enough, you will generally just make them worse by “muddying up” the situation. Adding energy to a client when you haven‟t yet taken out the unhealthy energy that they have would be similar to putting fresh oil in a car without first removing the old oil. You just end up stirring

115

around all the junk. It will likely make things worse in the long run. Clients can have bad reactions to this experience. Therefore, you must remove the unhealthy energies before you put any new energy in. In fact most healing involves removing unhealthy energies, and does not involve energizing.

The Rule of Seven

For the beginner, a good rule of thumb is to avoid energizing a client until after you have performed healing on them seven times. This will allow you first to clear away much of the unhealthy energy. Once you have performed general healing seven times, you may wish to add energizing to the healing experience for that client. Professional energy healers may decide to energize a client in the first healing session. They can do this because they have advanced diagnostic and treatment skills and an ability to handle any side effects that may occur. In the absence of these skills and knowledge, the non-professional is best served by following the rule of seven.

After you have healed your client seven times, you may decide that energizing is appropriate. You will still need to perform general healing in the current healing session prior to

116

energizing. Let‟s say it‟s the eighth time you are healing this client, and you decide energizing would be beneficial. As you learned in Chapter 5, you will first seal holes in the container, straighten the defensive beams, perform general healing, and then heal the client‟s specific problem (in some cases lack of energy is the specific problem). The next step is to energize.

The biggest beginner‟s mistake is to give the client the healer‟s energy. If you do this, then you, the healer, will become tired. It is not appropriate to give your energy to the client. The Creator gave you that energy for you to use for your daily life. What you do want to do is to establish for the client a connection to a supply of energy from an appropriate source. Typically, this means from a divine source. In the same way that you don‟t want to give the client your energy, you also want to avoid giving the client energy from the general surroundings. If the client takes energy from the general surroundings, energy may be pulled out of other people, animals, plants and trees. This will weaken these entities and make them susceptible to illness.

In the same way that you connected to the cosmic vacuum cleaner, you can simply visualize bringing down a ray of healing energy from the Creator. You will send this energy into the client‟s

117

solar plexus energy center. The energy centers were discussed in Chapter 6. As you will recall, the solar plexus energy center is located below the sternum in between the lower ribs. The reason to send the energy into the client‟s solar plexus energy center is because this center is near the middle of the body. By way of analogy, nerves and blood vessels tend to enter a bone in the middle of the bone so that information flows through the bone quickly and easily in both directions. Similarly, sending energy into the client‟s solar plexus center allows the energy to flow quickly and easily all through the body.

Prior to sending energy into the client‟s

solar plexus energy center, it is necessary to remove unhealthy energies from this center. To heal the solar plexus energy center, you can simply bring down a cosmic vacuum cleaner and place the hose in front of the client‟s solar plexus energy center. Then say the following:

“All negative, diseased, devitalized and

chaotic energies are removed from

__________’s (client’s name) solar plexus

energy center; all energy beams between

__________ (client’s name) and the removed

energies are removed. All energies and beams

that are removed are disposed of in the way

that serves the highest good, and all voided

118

places in __________(client’s name) are

filled in with healing energy from his / her

divine Higher Self. All this happens

automatically and stops automatically when

the process is complete, and the hose returns

to its divine source, now or as soon as

possible, in the gentlest way possible, if it

serves the highest good, in full faith, thank

you, so be it.”

Wait about three minutes for this process to finish. This will probably be enough time to remove a significant amount of the unhealthy energy from the client‟s solar plexus energy center. In the absence of higher level healing skills, this will generally be a good guideline to follow.

Next you will send energy into the solar plexus energy center. Intend to bring down a ray of healthy energy from the divine source above. Intend that the energy begins entering the client through his solar plexus energy center.

To do this, you simply envision it happening in your own mind. See it happening as if it were a movie that you were watching. Picture a gentle, white beam of light coming down from a divine source above and entering into the client‟s body through his solar plexus energy center.

119

NOTE: It is important to be clear about where you are intending for the energy to enter the body. A common beginner‟s mistake is to accidentally send the energy into the heart energy center. This can cause problems for the physical heart. As long as you have clear intent to send the energy into the client‟s solar plexus energy center, there is no need to worry.

For many healers, it is common practice to act as a conduit for healing energy by “channeling” it from the divine source through the healer and into the client‟s body. Side effects can be experienced with this approach, both for the healer and the client. It is beyond the scope of this book to describe these side effects. We will avoid these problems by bringing the energy from the divine source directly into the client‟s body.

120

Say the following intention:

“I ask Archangel Raphael to send into __________‟s (client‟s name) solar plexus energy center the type of energy that serves his / her highest good, at the rate that serves his / her highest good, culminating in the amount that serves his / her highest good. I ask that the energy automatically be sealed in when this process is complete. This all occurs in the gentlest way possible, now or as soon as possible, if it serves the highest good, thank you, so be it.”

At this point you are done. The process will automatically stop when the energizing is complete. It is ideal if the client does not bathe or shower for 24 hours after being energized. This is particularly true if the client is very sick or very tired. Water will absorb the energy she received, and her unhealthy condition may return quickly.

Knowing how to remove unhealthy energy and put in healthy energy will allow you to help your client feel better and function better. What if you learned that the energies you removed from the client could return to the client? What if the energy you gave to the client could be lost? What would you do if your client started to drain your energy? Chapter 8 will show you what to do to prevent these problems.

123

Finishing Touches

Let‟s say you have a delightful neighbor. You and your neighbor talk to one another in the yard every day. You take turns hosting each other for dinner once a week. You invite the neighbor‟s kids over to enjoy your new swimming pool. One day your good friend and neighbor reveals to you a small health concern. Your neighbor went to the doctor and the doctor said the condition did not require treatment and would likely get better on its own. You say to your neighbor, “You know, I bet I could help you heal more quickly. There is a simple energy healing technique for that.” Your neighbor allows you to perform the energy healing technique. The result is amazing! “Thanks,” the neighbor tells you, “I feel better than ever. I can‟t believe how effective that was.” Before the day is over you are feeling very tired. You can hardly

Chapter 8

124

keep your eyes open. Over the next week you notice that every time you see your neighbor you begin to feel tired and irritable. As your neighbor has gotten healthier, your health has started to decline. Could your neighbor accidentally be draining your energy? How could that happen? What would you do to stop it? This type of situation can be quite common.

Removing Energy Beams

When you perform healing work on a client, energy beams automatically form between you and the client. Energy beams occur between any people who spend some time together for any particular reason. Some beams formed between people serve the highest good of the parties involved, and often allow learning to take place, which furthers their spiritual evolution. There will generally be other beams as well, which do not serve the highest good. It is advisable to remove the beams that do not serve the highest good.

If the beams that do not serve the highest good between you and your client are left in place, several things can happen. First, the client can drain your energy even long after the healing. This occurs when the client has less energy than the healer. It is a well known principle that energy

125

tends to flow from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Thus, if the healer has more energy than does the client, energy will tend to flow from the healer‟s body to the client‟s body. This will occur naturally. Another reason this can happen is because an expectation is set up in the healing relationship that the healer will take care of the client‟s needs. The client may unconsciously expect the healer to be providing energy to the client since the client may begin to see the healer as the source of the energy the client receives. Of course, this is not true. The energy comes from a divine source. Nonetheless, unhealthy energy exchange can begin to occur between the healer and the client. The presence of the energy beams makes it possible for this transfer to take place. Removing the energy beams prevents the client from “stealing your energy.”

Also, if you have energized your client, the energy that you sent to him may in some cases still be connected to you by energy beams. For this and several other reasons, it is important to remove all of the unhealthy beams between you and your client. Remember: you will only remove the beams that do not serve the highest good. Some healers suggest that you envision cutting the beams, for example by envisioning scissors in your mind‟s eye and cutting the beams with the scissors. This is not

126

the best approach. When you cut the beams, you leave a portion of each of the beams embedded in your body and in your client‟s body. It is better to fully remove the beams. This is a more complete way to remedy the problem. When you do it this way, the beams will be fully removed, leaving a hole behind in the space where the beam was removed. These holes—one in your energy field and one in your client‟s energy field—must be filled in with energy. Holes that are not filled in create a vacuum that can pull in negative energy from the universe.

Here is an affirmation you can use to remedy this problem:

“All energy beams between __________

(client’s name) and me that do not serve the

highest good are removed, mine coming back

to me, and __________’s (client’s name)

going back to __________ (client’s name),

cleansed of all negative energy and negative

intent, and all voided places in us are filled in

with healing energy from our divine Higher

Selves, in all ways, in the gentlest way

possible, now or as soon as possible, if our

Higher Selves give permission, and if it serves

the highest good, so be it.”

127

Integrating

In addition to removing beams, it is also important to integrate the client at the end of healing. Integrating is a process of consolidating the client‟s energies. Over time, a person‟s energies get scattered around in her environment. These energies still belong to the person, and are still connected to the person by energy beams. Nonetheless, the person will not be able to function efficiently with her energies scattered about in this way. The process of integrating the client will solve this problem. It is similar to defragmenting the hard drive of a computer. The normal operation of a computer causes its files to become scattered throughout the hard drive, which makes the computer less efficient. The process of defragmenting the computer‟s hard drive consolidates its information, which allows the computer to run faster and more efficiently. Integrating a person has a similar effect on her energy field as defragmenting a computer has on its efficiency.

Integrating a client involves allowing him to retain what serves his highest good and let go of that which does not. Because the universe is often giving us opportunities to learn spiritual lessons, it is important that you allow the client to retain such opportunities. That which serves the highest good

128

and allows the client to learn spiritual lessons is often referred to as “the highest good of the learning.”

To integrate a client, use the following intention:

“__________ (client’s name) is integrated in

all times, in all ways, for the highest good,

bringing forward only the highest good of the

learning, and that which is healthy and evolves

him / her, in the gentlest way possible, now or

as soon as possible, if that serves the highest

good, so be it.”

Integrating the client in this way will bring to the client a greater sense of wellness and cohesion. It will also help the client to heal faster and more efficiently.

Now that you have learned how to heal someone, you can always provide healing services for her, right? What happens if you are not able to get together with the person you want to heal? What if time or distance does not allow it? What would you do if the client lived halfway around the world? You would heal her anyway! Chapter 9 will show you how.

129

Distance Healing

What can you do when you want to help someone who is geographically far away from you? Perhaps your favorite uncle who lives out of state has come down sick. Or your college-aged child has gotten injured on spring break. Or your aging mother is sick in the nursing home and you don‟t

have time to drive there over your lunch break to heal her. Distance is no barrier to healing. In fact, at a distance your healing powers become stronger. Any perceived difficulty in healing at a distance exists only in the mind. Let go of any notions of difficulty and realize that you can project healing energy anywhere in the world.

Chapter 9

130

How to Heal at a Distance

You can certainly ask Archangel Raphael to perform the healing for you (as you learned in Chapter 1). Alternatively, you may perform the healing yourself. To heal at a distance, you simply picture the person you wish to heal in your mind‟s

eye. Then you perform each of the steps you would normally perform in a healing, this time at a distance. When you seal holes in the client‟s

container, you simply imagine you are with the client. Then you imagine yourself placing the ball of healing energy on top of his container. Smooth the energy down the container, sealing holes, just like you would do in person.

You perform each of the other healing tasks in the same way. When you comb the defensive beams, you picture the client with the comb above her, and gently move the comb down through the beams. General healing is easy: you picture a cosmic vacuum cleaner removing the unhealthy energy from her body. Be sure to use the appropriate intention.

When you perform specific healing on the ill or injured area, you can literally extend your energy all the way to the client‟s body and scoop out the unhealthy energy. Then bring it back and throw it

131

into saltwater solution that you have prepared. Use appropriate intentions for this process as well.

You may energize the client at a distance if this is appropriate. Imagine yourself being with the client. Clear the solar plexus energy center at a distance in the same way you performed specific healing on an area of the body. Alternatively, you may use a cosmic vacuum hose to clear unhealthy energy from the solar plexus energy center. Then use the appropriate intention to send divine healing energy into the client‟s solar plexus center.

You may conclude a distance healing in the same way you would conclude a healing in person. Remove unhealthy energy beams that have formed between you and the client. Fill in voided places in both of you with healing energy from your respective divine Higher Selves. Use an appropriate intention for this as well.

The first time you heal someone at a distance, you may perceive some difficulty because your mind thinks that working on someone who is far away is harder than working on someone who is in the same room with you. The more you practice healing at a distance, the easier it will become. Once you have had some successes, and clients have told you they feel better, your confidence will grow. There is no difference if someone is standing

132

in front of you, if someone is across the street, or if someone is 5,000 miles away. Let go of limited thinking!

Once you have learned how to heal clients who are close by and far away, your work as a non-professional healer is just about done. You can be proud of the fact that you have learned many ways to help someone. There are some times, however, when it is absolutely dangerous to heal a person. It is very important to know when those times are. Also, you can develop the ability to determine the answer to something without even having any information about it. It‟s almost like having ESP (extra sensory perception). Read Chapter 10 to learn when not to heal, and how to figure out the answer to just about anything.

133

Further Considerations

To Heal or Not To Heal

Now that you have learned some skills of energy healing, you can help yourself and those you love when they need some assistance. When someone you care about is suffering, the tendency is to want to help him feel better immediately. Sometimes this may be highly appropriate; sometimes it may be less appropriate. There are important considerations governing when it is appropriate to heal someone and when it is not.

It is tempting to label situations. For example, if your friend is experiencing sadness, your tendency might be to label this as unhealthy and therefore bad. We are taught that unhealthy or bad things must be fixed. Then it may be tempting

Chapter 10

134

to use energy healing to remove the underlying energetic condition that contributes to the sadness so the friend feels better. This may or may not be in the best interest of your friend‟s ultimate wellbeing. In Energy Healing, things are more complicated than that. Situations aren‟t simply good or bad. They can be both at the same time.

Throughout life, the universe gives us opportunities to learn lessons. Our experiences often allow us to open up to new levels of understanding. Pain and illness can often be our teachers. When the lesson is learned, the pain or illness may go away on its own. If it doesn‟t, you can use energy healing to remove the energetic condition underlying the pain or illness, because the lesson has been learned. If the pain is removed prematurely, the lesson may not be learned. This will actually harm the client, because then the universe will have to give the client the opportunity to learn the lesson again, and the pain of the experience will often be cranked up a notch every time this happens. It is better to learn lessons as quickly and painlessly as possible the first time around.

This is not to suggest that ill people are best served by avoiding appropriate medical care. Energy healers and medical doctors may make decisions regarding patient care very differently and

135

from very different perspectives. To say that energy healing is not appropriate is not the same thing as saying medical care is not appropriate. It may be appropriate for a client to have his problem addressed by a medical doctor, even though it is inappropriate for him to have his problem addressed by an energy healer. As a healer you simply need to determine if your intervention serves your client‟s highest good at that time. In order to make this determination, you must first learn how to connect to your Higher Self.

Higher Self

As you first learn about energy healing you are primarily becoming acquainted with techniques. It is also important to know when and if it is appropriate to apply techniques in the first place. Professional Energy Healers are trained to know when and if it serves the highest good to heal a client. There is a fairly simple way that you, as a non-professional, can make some determinations yourself. One way to determine if something is appropriate or not is to consult with your Higher Self. Your Higher Self is that part of you that is connected to the Creator, and that knows what is best for you. The Higher Self is different from the ego self. If we think in terms of energy centers, the

136

ego self is associated with the solar plexus energy center, which governs personal will power. The Higher Self is associated with the crown energy center, which connects us to the Creator. As such, this part of us knows ultimately what serves our highest good. The ego cannot determine this for us. The ego is a lower part of us. The Higher Self is a higher part of us. It sees the big picture.

By Way of Example

For example, our ego may want us to stay late working at the office in order to make more money or have the boss praise us. Our Higher Self may want us to go home early. The Higher Self knows what serves our highest good. If we ignore the Higher Self, and stay late working, we may become tired and get into a car accident on the way home. The Higher Self may have been trying to prevent this and keep us safe. Similarly, our ego self may want to heal a client. The Higher Self may indicate not to do this. It is very important to trust the Higher Self because it always knows what serves the highest good. It is looking down from above, and can see the big picture. The ego is down at ground level, and can‟t see the forest for the trees. So, the important thing is to learn how to connect to this powerful Higher Self.

137

Connecting to the Higher Self is easy. You can ask yes / no questions of the Higher Self. The Higher Self will always answer your questions by way of a bodily sensation. The way the Higher Self answers questions is different for each person. Some people will feel their hands get warm to indicate a “yes” response, and their hands become cool for a “no” response. Others might feel energy rise upward in their body to indicate “yes,” and feel energy flow downward through their body for “no.” Someone may feel her stomach get warm for “yes,” and not feel anything for “no.” There is no right or wrong response, and everyone‟s response is different. Below is a simple exercise to help you connect to your Higher Self.

Connecting to the Higher Self

Sit in a comfortable spot with your feet flat on the floor. Make sure your arms and legs are not crossed. Take a few deep breaths, relax and clear your mind. You are going to ask a yes / no question of your Higher Self. This will be a question to which you know the answer is “yes.” You will not need to think about the response; you will feel it. You will be looking to see what type of response you get in your body. It will be a sensation of some type, often very subtle. For each person the type of

138

sensation may be different. Here is the question you will ask your Higher Self:

“Higher Self, is my name __________ (your

first name)?”

Ask this question of your Higher Self now

and pay attention to how your body responds.

Did you get a response? If so, congratulations! You just connected to your Higher Self. If not, state the following intention:

“I call on Archangel Raphael to remove from

me anything that is blocking me from

connecting to my Higher Self, to dispose of it

and any unhealthy energy beams

appropriately, and to fill in any voided places

in me with healing energy, now or as soon as

possible, in the gentlest way possible, if it

serves the Highest Good, in full faith, thank

you, so be it.”

Wait about 30 seconds, then repeat the initial question: “Higher Self, is my name _________ (your first name)?” Pay attention again for the subtle response your body gives you. If you

139

still did not get a response, repeat the Archangel Raphael intention and add this to it:

“I release anything my Higher Self gives me

permission to release at this time. So be it.”

If you continue to have difficulty, you may need to attend a professional energy healer training workshop.

Next you will determine what your “no” response feels like. You will ask a question to which you know the answer is “No.” You will again be looking for a subtle sensation in your body, which will generally be different from the sensation you received for a “yes” response. Ask the question now:

“Higher Self, is my name __________

(a name which is NOT your name)?”

Did you get a response? Was it different from the “yes” response? Usually it will be. If you did not get a response, try the healing intention again: “I call on Archangel Raphael to remove from me anything that is blocking me from connecting to my Higher Self, to dispose of it and

140

any unhealthy energy beams appropriately, and to fill in any voided places in me with healing energy, now or as soon as possible, in the gentlest way possible, if it serves the Highest Good, in full faith, thank you, so be it.” Wait 30 seconds, then repeat the initial question: “Higher Self, is my name _________ (a name which is NOT your name)?” Pay attention again for the subtle response your body gives you. If you still did not get a response, repeat the Archangel Raphael intention and add this to it: “I release anything my Higher Self gives me permission to release at this time. So be it.” If you continue to have difficulty, you may need to attend a professional energy healer training workshop.

Asking Questions

Once you have developed the ability to connect to your Higher Self (which just means you know what type of bodily sensation you get for “yes” and “no” answers), you can use this connection to figure things out by asking questions. For example, let‟s say you are trying to decide whether it would be best for you to go out to the movies with your friend or stay in and go to bed early. Both may be appealing. You haven‟t seen this friend in a while. The movie looks really good and you have wanted to see it. It would be fun to

141

go. On the other hand, you are very tired. You have not been getting enough sleep for a week because you have been up studying for an important test. The test is tomorrow morning. The movie is a late show tonight. The friend will only be in town today and is leaving to return to her home overseas. It will be difficult to resolve this dilemma by thinking about it intellectually.

A different approach would be to ask your Higher Self what would serve your highest good. What serves your highest good may be different from what serves your ego self. Remember, the ego self is a lower vibration at the solar plexus energy center. The Higher Self is a higher vibration at the crown energy center. The Higher Self knows what serves your highest good. It is looking down from above and is able to see the big picture. Your ego self only sees what is right in front of it, and what it personally desires. Base desires, like those of the ego, can sometimes lead us astray.

To resolve this issue, you would say silently (or out loud):

“I connect to my Higher Self, and only my

Higher Self can answer this question:

__________ (your yes / no question)?”

142

The yes / no question will always be phrased this way:

“Does it serve my highest good for me to

__________?”

In the example given, you would ask: “Does it serve my highest good for me to go to the movie tonight?” Your Higher Self will give you the answer that serves your highest good. For example, you may want to go to the movie, and your Higher Self says, “No.” Perhaps it is best for you to stay home and rest. Conversely, your Higher Self may say, “yes.” Then you go to the movie and run into someone who recently took the test you are about to take. He gives you a test-taking strategy that turns out to make the difference between passing and failing. You wouldn‟t have passed the test if you hadn‟t gone out and run into him. It is impossible to know these things from the ego self. Only the Higher Self knows what serves your highest good.

You can use your new Higher Self connection to determine just about anything in your life. Sometimes your ego may try to sneak in there and answer instead of your Higher Self. In order to protect against this possibility, it is a good idea to follow up your yes / no question with this question:

143

“Is that my Higher Self answering me?”

By Divine Law, only your Higher Self can answer “yes” to this question. For example, if you ask, “Does it serve my highest good for me to eat a gallon of chocolate ice cream tonight?” and the answer is “Yes!!!” you may want to double check that the answer isn‟t coming from the lower self (the ego).

Because it takes time to get good at connecting to the Higher Self and differentiating between Higher Self and ego responses, it is always appropriate to follow common sense in any decision-making process.

Always Get Permission to Heal

In addition to determining the answers to various questions, you will also want to use your Higher Self connection to determine if it is best to heal a client. As mentioned earlier, the illness or pain that clients experience may sometimes offer them the opportunity to learn lessons. If you take away the lessons prematurely, they are unable to learn them. How will you know whether healing the client at this time serves her highest good or

144

not? You will have to connect to her Higher Self to find out!

Before you heal a client it is important to get permission to do so from the client‟s Higher Self. Many clients do not know how to connect to their Higher Selves. That‟s okay; you can do it for them. You simply intend silently:

“__________ (client’s name) is connected to

his / her Higher Self.”

Next you intend silently:

“I am connected to my Higher Self.”

Finally you intend:

“My Higher Self is connected to

__________’s (client’s name) Higher Self.”

145

Once you have completed these three steps, you will ask for permission to heal the client:

“__________’s (client’s name) Higher Self,

does it serve the highest good for me to heal

__________ (client’s name) at this time?”

You will receive a yes / no response which will be interpreted in your body in the way you normally get a yes / no response (as opposed to the way the client‟s body gives such responses to the client). As such, the answer will generally be very clear. If you are ever uncertain as to the source of the answer, you can confirm the source by asking the following:

“Is that __________’s (client’s name) Higher

Self answering me?”

Only the client‟s Higher Self can answer “yes.”

146

Always ask for permission to heal from the client‟s Higher Self. If the answer is “no,” you can ask a different question:

“__________’s (client’s name) Higher Self,

does it serve __________’s (client’s name)

highest good for __________ (client’s name)

to be healed by someone other than me at

this time?”

If you get a “yes” response, it may be appropriate for your client to see a professional energy healer. It may just not be appropriate for you to heal the client. Maybe it is appropriate for someone else to heal the client for whatever reason, perhaps because she is more qualified, or perhaps for some complex reason that only the client‟s

Higher Self knows. The other issue is timing. If you ask permission to heal the client at this time, and the answer is “no,” that doesn‟t necessarily mean the answer will be “no” one hour from now, or tomorrow, or next week. It may just not be appropriate at this time for whatever reason.

147

Difficult Lessons

In some cases you may never have permission to heal the client. This can be very frustrating. For example, if your spouse develops cancer, you may not get permission from your spouse‟s Higher Self to perform healing. Your spouse may be pursuing medical treatment and not be getting any better. You may desperately want to heal your spouse. The purpose of this book is to help people develop skills so they can help themselves or someone they care about. It is often frustrating not to get permission to heal someone close to you. Obviously you care about him, you don‟t want to see him suffer, and you want him to get well. He may also desperately want to get well. All of that is coming from the ego level. It may not serve the client‟s highest good for you to heal him. He may need the disease or the pain in order to learn very important spiritual lessons in his life‟s

journey.

In such an instance, there is also a painful lesson for you, the healer. You are learning to put faith in the Creator‟s plan, and not try to control everything down here on earth from the lowly ego self. This can potentially be a difficult lesson in and of itself. Wouldn‟t it be great if there was a way to get around this limitation? Sometimes there is.

148

A Way to Get Permission

If you don‟t get Higher Self permission to heal yourself or someone else, there can be a way to get it. Often the reason permission is not given is because lessons that must be learned by the client have not yet been learned. The solution to this problem is for the client to use mental intention to learn the lessons. Once the lessons have been learned, the client‟s Higher Self will often give permission for healing to occur.

If the client is willing, you can have him intend to learn the lessons that the situation offers him. Have the client use this intention:

“I intend to learn all the lessons my Higher

Self gives me permission to learn from this

situation in the gentlest way possible, now or

as soon as possible, if it serves my highest

good, thank you, so be it.”

This is a good generic approach. If the client needs to address the lessons in a more specific way, he may need to see a professional energy healer.

Now that you have learned how to heal someone, as well as when and when not to heal someone, there is one thing left to discover.

149

Wouldn‟t it be nice to be able to avoid getting sick in the first place?

151

Prevention

An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Ton of Cure

Now you have learned some of the basic skills of energy healing. It is wonderful and valuable to be able to heal yourself and your loved ones when the need arises. Wouldn‟t it be great if you could also prevent yourself from getting sick or taking on unhealthy energy in the first place? That is the subject of this chapter.

Friends

It is important to choose your friends wisely. This is because over time you become like your friends. Why is this? It is because you absorb their energy patterns. If your friends are always thinking

Chapter 11

152

and talking negatively, you will become negative in your thinking and behavior if you spend a lot of time around them. If your friends think and talk positively, they will have a positive influence on you. Whether you agree with their ideas or feel the same way they do is irrelevant. Simply by being around them you will absorb their energy vibrations and begin to become like them without realizing it. For this reason it is important that you choose to be around people who possess the qualities you desire to have in yourself. This can work whether you already possess the desired qualities yourself or not. If you already possess the qualities, you will be in harmony with your friends. If you do not already possess the qualities, being around friends who do possess these qualities can help you to progress forward on your quest to become the person you want to be.

Family

Family is a little bit trickier to navigate because you can‟t choose your family. You are born into your family and are forced to be around them in many situations. In childhood you are stuck with your parents, siblings, and in some cases extended family. Like it or not, you will probably end up spending an enormous amount of time with

153

them. This means you will be influenced by their energy fields. If some aspects of their energy fields are negative or unhealthy, you will absorb this energy and have a tendency to become like them. As an adult you may be able to limit the amount of time you spend around family. Although you can still pick up negative energies at a distance, the degree to which you absorb the unhealthy energies is minimized. For example, talking on the phone to your mom does not expose you to her negative energy quite as much as being around her in person.

Work

The work climate can be similar in nature to the family environment. During economic times where there are fewer choices we may find ourselves stuck in jobs that don‟t provide the healthiest energy environment. We may not have much latitude regarding our ability to choose our work setting. The principle of keeping your distance from negative people applies in the work setting as well.

It may be possible to work from home, utilizing the internet and phone. If your boss or client has negativity, you will absorb less of it by communicating with them via email than you would by talking with them in person. This approach does

154

provide some protection, although it cannot provide total protection. This is because energy can affect you even at a distance. No amount of distance is a true barrier to energy absorption.

In situations where you can‟t avoid being around people with unhealthy energy, there is a way to defend yourself from their negativity. The way to do this requires building an energy shield around you. This process will be discussed shortly.

Environment

The average person absorbs energy all day long from her environment. We are like giant sponges, soaking up whatever is around us. You absorb energy from the people you eat breakfast with in your household. You absorb energy from your neighbors when you see them as you leave the house for the day. You absorb energy driving through your neighborhood. You absorb energy when you walk underneath heavy power lines. You absorb energy from the other drivers at stoplights. You absorb energy at work. You absorb energy at the grocery store, the bank, the doctor‟s office, the movie theater, school, concert halls, and parks. You are constantly absorbing. The only way to keep from absorbing unhealthy environmental energies from family, work, school, and elsewhere is to

155

shield yourself against these energies. Shielding is one part of a several step process that involves Grounding, Cleansing, Shielding, and Integrating.

Grounding

The first step in maintaining wellness, preventing illness, and avoiding absorption of unhealthy energies is to engage in the process known as grounding. We interact with the earth‟s electromagnetic energy field. Electromagnetic fields are measured in gauss. The earth‟s field has historically been measured as one gauss. It is important that our energy field remains in harmony with the earth‟s electromagnetic field. When we are in harmony with it, we tend to experience wellness. When our energy gets out of sync with that of the earth, we tend to move away from wellness. This is because the earth is our home. Its energy sustains us. When we step out of alignment with it, it is like we are experiencing discord in our own home.

The challenge with remaining in harmony with the earth‟s energy is that the electromagnetic field of the earth changes over time. Therefore it is ideal to re-establish harmony with the earth‟s energy each day.

156

The way to achieve resonance with earth‟s energy is to engage in a grounding meditation. Find a comfortable place to sit where you won‟t be disturbed for about fifteen minutes. Sitting on a chair with your feet flat on the floor will allow you to connect to the earth energy very nicely. It is best not to wear shoes while you do this meditation. Avoid having your arms or legs crossed, as this impedes the energy flow in your body.

Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Feel any tension in your body fall away into the earth. Breathe again, drawing the breath down deeply into your body. Draw your breath deep enough that your whole belly expands with the breath. As you slowly exhale, feel your mind clear and become centered for meditation. Breathe in again, feeling yourself sink deeply into your body.

Now in your mind‟s eye picture the divine Source above in the form of white light. Imagine drawing down through your body a column of divine white energy about three inches in diameter (three inches around). Bring it down through the top of your head (the crown energy center), and continue drawing it all the way down to the base energy center (at the base of your spine). Send the white light all the way to the center of the earth and bind it there. Some people picture a giant crystal in the center of the earth and wrap the energy around

157

the crystal. Others picture binding the energy to a huge metal ring in the center of the earth. Whatever way works for you is fine. You can also ask angels to assist you in binding the energy if that feels appropriate for you. Always thank the angels when they assist you.

Once you have bound this sky energy to the center of the earth, you will imagine a column of Creator‟s energy coming up from the center of the earth towards the sky. This second column will also be three inches around. Bring this column up through your base energy center (at the bottom of the spine) and on up through your body to the top of your head. Send it to the Creator above and bind it there. You can also ask angels to bind it there for you.

You are now centered between the Creator‟s energy from above and below. Your body is grounded and will naturally establish a resonance that is in harmony with the earth. Spend a moment enjoying your grounded body.

158

Cleansing

Now that you are grounded, the next step is to use the divine energy to cleanse your body of any energies that do not serve your highest good. Some authors encourage people to get rid of any “negative” energy. This is ill-advised because what the ego self decides is negative may serve the highest good of the individual by teaching him lessons. Instead, you will only get rid of energies that do not serve your highest good, regardless of whether they are positive or negative.

Draw divine energy from above and below into your body through the columns that you set up previously in the grounding meditation. You will draw divine white light down through your crown energy center, and collect it behind your navel. Also draw the energy from the center of the earth up through the column to your navel. Collect this energy behind the navel as well. Continue drawing the energy into your navel area from above and below, feeling it expand behind your navel, until it forms a ball of light twelve inches in diameter (twelve inches around). You will use this ball of divine energy to cleanse your body of any energies that do not serve your highest good.

159

You will use the following intention:

“This ball of energy expands to a size large

enough to encompass my body, pushing out of

me anything my Higher Self gives me

permission to release at this time. I release

anything my Higher Self gives me permission

to release. I call on Archangel Raphael to

remove from me all energies and energy

beams that I am releasing, and dispose of

them in a way that serves the highest good.

All voided places in me are filled in with

healing energy from my divine Higher Self.

This occurs now or as soon as possible, in the

gentlest way possible, if it serves the highest

good, thank you, in full faith, so be it.”

Any unhealthy energy that is released by this process is not unhealthy for all aspects of the universe. Just like plants need the carbon dioxide waste that we breathe out, and we require the oxygen waste that plants breathe out, other aspects of the universe require our waste energy for their functioning.

Now you are grounded, your energy field is cleansed, and you are filled with divine energy. Spend a moment enjoying this clean experience. Once you have a grounded and cleansed energy field, wouldn‟t it be nice to keep it that way?

160

Shielding

Now visualize the ball of light you expanded all around yourself becoming a shield. You will program it as if it were a semi-permeable membrane. This means you will program the shield to allow some things to pass through, and not others. Some authors recommend you program the shield to let in good energy, and keep out negative energy. This approach is not preferred here because what the ego self considers to be “negative” may serve the highest good by being allowed to pass through the shield. Also what the ego considers to be desirable or positive may in fact not serve the highest good. It is better to create a shield that lets in whatever serves the highest good, and keeps out whatever does not serve the highest good. The shield you will create will be internally permeable, which means unfavorable energies in you can exit through the shield. The shield will also be externally impermeable to that which does not serve your highest good, which means those energies will be forbidden to enter. Finally, you will create the intention that the shield is externally permeable to that which does serve your highest good, so that favorable energies can enter.

Here is the intention that you will use to program your shield (you may say this out loud or silently in your own head):

161

“This shield is internally permeable, and

externally impermeable to anything that does

not serve my highest good. It is externally

permeable to the Creator’s love and light, and

to anything that serves my highest good. If

it serves the highest good, so be it.”

Now you are grounded, cleansed and shielded. The shield that you have created keeps you from absorbing unfavorable energies from your environment and the people in it. Once you have created the shield, it is important for you to integrate.

Integrating

As mentioned earlier in the book, integrating a person‟s energy is similar to defragmenting a computer hard drive. In the same way such a process makes a computer more efficient, the person‟s energy field is made more efficient. The process of integrating gives you an opportunity to consolidate your energy. The important thing is to return to your field only the energy that serves your highest good. Some aspects of your energy are no longer useful to you. You will want to let go of these aspects. The useful aspects you will ask to have returned to you.

162

Here is the intention you will use to integrate:

“I am integrated in all times, in all ways, for

the highest good, bringing forward only the

highest good of the learning, and that which

is healthy and evolves me, in the gentlest way

possible, now or as soon as possible, if that

serves the highest good, so be it.”

Summary

This process of ground, cleanse, shield, and integrate is best done daily. Twice a day is even more advantageous. Ideal times to do it include first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. Anytime is better than not doing it at all. The first time you engage this process, it may require between 15 and 30 minutes to complete. This is because you are in the process of learning how to do it. As you continue to practice, you can reduce the time needed for the entire process to less than a minute! At that point the process is not so time-consuming. The benefits you will receive are quite amazing for such a short investment of time. If you forget to do it one day, it‟s not the end of the world. Just do it again the next day. Of course, if you

163

don‟t perform this process regularly, it is likely that unfavorable energies will have easy access to you.

Here is the simple version of ground /

cleanse / shield / integrate:

draw divine energy down through you and bind it to the center of the earth

draw divine energy up through you and bind it to the Creator above

fill the area behind your navel with divine energy from above and below; expand it to encompass your body, pushing unfavorable energy out; use the intention to dispose of it appropriately

envision the ball of energy becoming a shield of energy all around you

use the intention to program the shield use the intention to properly integrate.

Now that you have some ways to prevent

illness and to heal it when it occurs, you can be healthier and also be very helpful to those you care about.

Removing Barriers to

Healing

When Clients Don’t Want to Get Well

You must get prior permission to heal a client. There are two types of permission that are required. First, you have to get verbal permission from the client before you heal her. It has so far been assumed that you are receiving verbal permission because this book is designed to help you heal yourself or loved ones. Second, you must get permission from the client‟s Higher Self. We have already discussed the importance of getting permission from the client‟s Higher Self.

Sometimes someone you care about will not give you permission to perform healing on him, or

Chapter 12

166

will be resistant to the healing process. Sometimes people just don‟t want to get well. There are two types of people who don‟t want to get well. The first type is afraid; the second type is resolved. You must respond differently to each.

Fear of Getting Well

Some people do not want to get well because they are afraid to get well. How can that be? Wouldn‟t everyone want to be well? There are several possible reasons why a client may be afraid to get well.

Fear of Change

First of all, change can be difficult for many people. Even if the change will allow the person to experience life in a better way—as in the case of having better health and freedom from disease—the change can be scary simply because it is something new. People like routines. Routines are familiar and comfortable. Hence, we refer to people as having comfort zones. They feel comfortable with what is familiar. Change represents moving into the unknown, moving outside of the comfort zone. The unknown is scary for many people. Therefore,

167

change can be difficult. This type of person may simply come across as being stubborn. Avoid judging the person‟s choices in this way. You will also want to avoid falling into a power struggle with him. A power struggle will go nowhere. Instead, have compassion for how difficult change can be. Be patient and gently stretch the person‟s thinking over time. Changes of this type require an energetic shift. These kinds of changes also require a certain amount of time. In some cases there may be enough anxiety that it may be helpful for the person to seek out the assistance of a mental health professional.

The Sick Role

The second reason people may be afraid to get well has to do with the loss of some benefit they receive by being sick. In some cases children are ignored or neglected by their parents. It may only be when they are sick that their parents pay attention to them. These children learn very quickly that being sick brings a benefit—people attend to them. This realization (often unconscious in nature) can lead to a childhood filled with a variety of illnesses. This can be further exacerbated by the fact that mental illnesses (including anxiety and depression) are one of the most misdiagnosed and

168

underdiagnosed set of illnesses by medical doctors. Children learn very quickly that many medical doctors are biased towards diagnosing and treating physical disorders (there are exceptions, and the medical profession is always improving). If a sad or scared child who is experiencing depression or anxiety says to the doctor, “I don‟t feel well,” the doctor may take a look at the physical body, find nothing wrong, and tell the child she is fine. When the child shows up again next month saying the same thing, the doctor may start to think of this as a case of hypochondria (patient believes she is ill when she is not ill). The following month when the child goes to the doctor with a broken arm after falling out of a tree, the doctor properly acknowledges the problem, pays great attention to the child, and offers help. The child learns that emotional problems get ignored, and physical problems bring attention. This can cause the child to literally begin converting emotional distress into physical symptoms. For example, “I‟m sad,” may not bring the same response as “My stomach hurts,” or “I have a headache.”

As a result of getting attention when something is wrong with them, children may learn to exhibit illness on a regular basis, training their own immune systems to allow them frequently to become ill. Attention from parents is very

169

important to children. Inadequate attention makes children feel that they are at some great risk, and they become scared. Infants, toddlers, and young children are so vulnerable that they have a very understandable fear that they will die if no one meets their needs. Hence, being ignored makes the young person fear for her life! This is powerful motivation for this type of person to remain sick as much as possible. In terms of sickness, the more often the better, and the more physical (as opposed to emotional) the better.

Many children continue to carry this behavioral pattern on into adulthood because it has worked so well for them and also because it is a habit by that point. When you try to perform energy healing to help them get better, they may naturally resist your efforts. The reason is a psychological one. The client may unconsciously feel the following way: “If I am healthy, no one will pay attention to me. If no one pays attention to me, I will die.” So, when you innocently try to help the person get healthy, he believes at an unconscious level that what you are doing may kill him. This causes him naturally to resist your help, because he perceives (again, not consciously) that resisting your help offers him survival value. Before real healing can occur, the person must come to realize that he can be healthy and receive

170

all the attention he requires. Having one does not rule out the possibility of the other.

More Fears

In addition to fear of change and fear of losing the benefits that go along with being in the sick role, there can be additional fear-based reasons why people may be reluctant to have energy healing performed on them. These reasons can include lack of familiarity with energy healing. People may sometimes be reluctant to try something new. In this case they simply need to be educated that energy healing is safe and effective. In rare cases, a person may have had a bad experience with energy healing. This can happen occasionally if the energy healer was poorly trained and / or unable to help the client get well.

Mixed Signals

Sometimes the client will give you verbal permission to heal her, and will then work to undermine the healing process. This occurs as a result of a split between the client‟s conscious and unconscious objectives. Consciously the client wants to get well. Unconsciously the fear of change

171

or the fear of losing the benefits of the sick role shows up. This creates even more conflict than that which occurs when a client is aware that she doesn‟t want to change and tells you so. In this case you begin the process of healing her under the assumption that she wants to heal because that‟s what she told you. An observant healer who begins to treat a client of this type will become quickly aware that the client is resisting healing. Resistance may manifest as holding onto unhealthy energies and not allowing them to be removed. Another example of these mixed signals occurs during energizing when the client does not allow himself to receive healing energy.

There are many other examples which can be observed in the client‟s behavior, and which are beyond the scope of this book. As a result of the power of the mind, the client who is working against you can stop you from healing her. It could quickly become frustrating to try to heal a client who is resisting healing. Rather than falling into a power struggle and using more will power to try to remove the unhealthy energies (which will just cause the client to use more will power to hold them in), back up and address the issue of fear. Next, you will learn an intention which you can offer to the client to help her release unhealthy fear when she is ready to do so.

172

As you can see, there are many fear-based reasons why a person may choose to avoid healing. There are two types of fear: healthy and unhealthy. When you jump out of the way of a bus, you experience healthy fear. Healthy fear adds survival value. Aside from such extreme examples, the vast majority of our fear is unhealthy and counterproductive. Unhealthy fear is a poor place from which to make decisions. Fear is the opposite energy of love. When you love yourself, you have a tendency to move towards healing. Fear tends to move us away from healing. If the decision not to get well is based on emotions (often fear), it may be appropriate to help the client release the emotion that is blocking her from choosing to become healthy.

An intention that can be useful in removing unhealthy fear is the following:

“I release all fear and energy beams that my

Higher Self gives me permission to release at

this time. I ask Archangel Raphael to dispose

of what I am releasing appropriately, and fill

in any voided places in me with healing energy

from my divine Higher Self. All of this

happens now or as soon as possible, in the

gentlest way possible, if it serves the highest

good, thank you, so be it.”

173

Some people may require the assistance of a mental health professional in releasing their fear. This is a very acceptable practice today, and an option of which many people choose to take advantage. Seeking out this type of guidance can be immensely helpful.

Once the fear is removed, the client may still have the habit of holding onto unhealthy energy. This behavioral pattern is a separate problem that is often not in the client‟s conscious awareness. This behavioral pattern is accompanied by an energetic pattern. When you shift the energetic pattern, you clear the way for the client to release the behavioral pattern. When this occurs, healing can take place.

The intention the client can use to shift the pattern is the following:

“I release any energetic and behavioral

patterns my Higher Self gives me permission

to release at this time. I ask Archangel

Raphael to dispose of that which I release

appropriately, and fill in any voided places in

me with healing energy from my divine Higher

Self. All of this happens now or as soon as

possible, in the gentlest way possible, if it

serves the highest good. Thank you. In full

faith, so be it.”

174

All of the above instances of people not wanting to get well involve an emotional decision not to receive energy healing. The element in common with each of these cases is the presence of fear. It is often appropriate to challenge emotional decision-making, and to offer the person the opportunity to release the fear and to accept healing.

Resolve Not to Change

In addition to emotionally-motivated reasons not to change, there can also be reasons that are arrived at more rationally. In some cases it may be less appropriate to challenge rational decision-making than it is to challenge emotional decision making. Often when a person has made a rational decision not to pursue getting well you have to respect the person‟s wishes.

One common example of this occurs when someone is dying from a terminal illness. Another time you may see this occur is when someone is very old. In either of these two cases, the person may feel that it is her time to go. If a person has stepped back and looked at her life objectively and made a rational decision (not based on pure emotion) that she does not want to receive healing, then you must respect this choice. When a person has decided to let go of life or to decline healing,

175

and the decision is a healthy, rational decision, it is often because the person has made peace with himself and with the Creator.

The one exception to this rule involves suicidal thinking or behavior. If a person suddenly shows lack of interest in taking care of himself, begins giving away his prized possessions, seems depressed or unmotivated (or irritable if a child), begins talking about suicide, or shows suicidal behaviors, then you will immediately want to refer this person to a mental health professional for help. If the situation warrants it, you may call 911 or take the person to the nearest emergency room. You can also have the suicidal person contact a suicide hotline; these hotlines are designed to help prevent suicide or intervene in a suicidal situation to get the person past the suicidal crisis. You can look for one in the phone book. If you don‟t find one, you can look up the number for the nearest community mental health center. They will often have contact information for these types of services. Some counties also have information lines which have contact numbers for various human services.

People may resist healing for reasons based on emotions or logical thought. The decisions may be healthy or unhealthy. It is important to be able to tell the difference between the two. Each requires a different response.

176

Moving On

There is one additional consideration related to very old or terminally ill clients: when people have reached their time to die, they will cross over from one world to another. This process can be facilitated by a professional energy healer who is properly trained to address this type of phenomenon. Referring this work out to a professional can help the dying person to properly make the transition. The healer can also facilitate communication between the dying person and the surviving family members. The healer may also assist those affected by the loss to move successfully through the grieving process. This very advanced work is beyond the scope of this book. If you feel you (or someone you love) would benefit from such services, you will want to seek out a qualified professional energy healer.

Caretakers

People who are very old, very sick, have special needs, or are terminally ill are fortunate if they have someone who cares deeply about them who can help to meet their needs.

If you are taking care of someone who falls into one of these categories, you have a large task.

177

This is a very special role to play in a person‟s life. If you are the caretaker, you must factor in the toll this role can take on you. In addition to the emotional stress that can be experienced by watching someone‟s abilities, awareness, or life slip away, it is also likely that other areas of your life will be impacted. A certain amount of your time will have to be devoted to providing this care. People who find themselves being caretakers may already have a career, children, and other responsibilities. There may be physical burdens as well. For example, you may physically have to lift someone in and out of bed. What may start out as a loving gesture can become quite stressful, burdensome, draining, and overwhelming over time. If you are not careful, you can start to resent the person who requires your help.

It has also been observed that elder abuse is often correlated with child abuse. That is, when parents abuse their children, those children are often abusive later when taking care of their elderly parents. Seeing a mental health professional may be necessary to break the cycle of abuse. It is important to do whatever can be done to minimize your stress level so you can be effective and appropriate for the duration of the time you spend in this role. Keep in mind the fact that stress

178

contributes to illness and makes you more likely to get sick.

Self Care

It is especially important that caretakers prioritize taking care of themselves. There are many ways in which you can take care of yourself. Before using any of the following approaches, check with your doctor to make sure these are appropriate for you.

Performing regular energy healing on yourself will help to keep you healthy. All of the techniques taught in this book can be used on the self. Done regularly, self energy healing strengthens your energy system, which helps prevent unfavorable energies from accruing. If you prefer, you can have a partner or friend read this book and do the healing work on you. It can be a nice exchange to take turns offering each other healing.

It can be very relaxing to take a bath. A special type of bath called a salt bath has a powerful cleansing effect. It creates a healing environment by simulating the effects of the ocean. Saltwater absorbs the negative energy you have internally generated or absorbed from your

179

environment. You can put sea salt or even everyday table salt into the water. It is probably most economical to use water softener salt, which can be inexpensively purchased in large bags. “Crystal” salt is believed to remove negative energy better than pellet salt. The small crystals also dissolve faster in the bath water than do pellets. Crystal water softener salt can be purchased at many grocery stores and gas stations, and is easily identified because it says “crystal” on the packaging. For general use, you can put about one pound of salt into the bathwater each time you take a bath.

Exercising regularly and eating healthfully are also very important. Avoid emotional eating when you are experiencing stress. If you suspect your motivation to eat certain foods is emotional in nature, do some deep breathing to release the stress and emotional energy that is bothering you. It may also be appropriate for you to seek out mental health counseling.

Breathing, itself, promotes health when it is done properly. Take time each day to do some deep breathing, perhaps first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. This process helps you to wake up in the morning and to fall asleep at night. To perform deep breathing you simply breathe so that your whole belly expands with the in-breath

180

and sinks with the out-breath. Deep breathing is relaxing to the mind and body. As a health regimen, you can perform twelve slow, deep breaths twice a day. You can also perform deep breathing anytime you feel stress throughout the day.

If time and money allow, receiving massage therapy can be very helpful. Receiving a massage can interrupt your stress cycle. Anything you can do to interrupt your stress cycle is generally beneficial to your health. Because the mind and body are interconnected, anything that relaxes the body can have a relaxing effect on the mind as well. Getting a massage once a week may be ideal; getting a massage once a month still has beneficial effects and is better than nothing.

Meditation can be very beneficial to health. Based upon the same mind-body connection mentioned above, when you relax your mind, the body will often relax as well. You can practice meditation once a day for ten minutes and get real benefits. You can meditate for an hour if you want to, and it is better to meditate consistently for short periods of time than to meditate sporadically for longer periods.

As long as you focus on only one thing, your mind will simplify and relax. One simple meditation is the breath meditation. You simply

181

breathe normally, following the breath with your mind. For ten minutes you focus on nothing but your breath going in and out of your body. Allow no thoughts, feelings or perceptions to interfere with your concentration on your breath. Do not try to control your breath or change it. Just observe it so completely that it is the only thing of which you are aware. When other thoughts intrude, simply allow them to pass gently away and return your focus to your breath. Our modern, complex world of multi-tasking creates ill health. “Single-tasking” returns our minds to a healthy state.

Another simple meditation is the body scan meditation. This one helps you relax your body. Breathe in deeply throughout the entire meditation. You will progressively focus on different areas of your body, each for a short period of time. Observe how that area of your body feels, and then consciously intend to release any tension in that area. Then move to the next area. Work your way through your body, from your head to your feet. These meditation techniques can simplify your mind and relax your body.

The stigma once attached to seeking out mental health counseling is fast becoming a thing of the past. Counseling is advantageous for many people. It is especially important for caretakers to take advantage of the opportunity to receive

182

counseling. In addition to addressing any general concerns in one‟s life, counseling will help the caretaker to reduce her stress level and improve her health. Further caretaking strategies can also be explored with the counselor. The need to break potential cycles of abuse has already been discussed.

Try to share the caretaking responsibility with siblings, or other appropriate people, whenever possible. You may need to seek out Professional nursing care.

Support groups can also be beneficial. Just as there are groups to help people cope with having an illness, there are groups for people who are coping with the burden of caring for someone who has a particular illness. You can often get information about support groups by calling a community mental health center or by contacting a general information line for your county.

Create Positive Energy

It is understandable to be concerned about the wellbeing of someone who is sick. Keep in mind that worrying about someone doesn‟t help her get better. Worry is a negative emotion that is similar to the energy of fear. Remember: fear is the

183

opposite energy of love. Love is healing. Fear moves us away from wellness. What you focus on increases. Therefore, if you keep focusing on someone being ill, you are increasing the likelihood of the person staying ill longer or experiencing a worsening condition. If instead you focus on the person getting well, you increase the likelihood that the person will get well, and increase the speed at which the person gets well. Visualize the outcome you DO want. In your mind, picture the person being healthy. It also helps to create positive energy when you give the person access to humor and comedy, perhaps through movies. Keep fresh flowers or a plant in the sick person‟s living space as well.

Use Every Available Option

When you or someone you care about is sick, it is often appropriate to use multiple options to get well. Healing generally occurs best when you address it on several levels at once. If you have the option, it is a great idea to explore your illness with a medical doctor, a psychotherapist, an energy healer, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, a chiropractor and other appropriate healthcare providers. Illnesses may have physical, emotional and energetic components simultaneously. Addressing all of them will often ensure the best outcome.

184

Take Charge

During times of illness it is important to research your condition. Being an informed consumer empowers you. It is a great idea to learn more about your condition by visiting appropriate sites on the internet and by reading other appropriate sources of medical information. When you understand your illness, you can ask your doctor questions to get more information and learn about treatment options. It also shows your doctor that you care about yourself and that you take your health and recovery seriously. It may sometimes be appropriate to get second or even third opinions from additional doctors. If your condition can be addressed best by a medical specialist, make sure you see the appropriate type of specialist.

Final Thoughts

I hope you have enjoyed this introduction to energy healing! You have now learned many ways to help yourself or someone you love. Some of the most broadly applicable techniques are very simple. This book is designed to help you respond to energy problems much in the way a first aid responder deals with physical problems. Always keep in mind that energy healing is not a substitute for proper medical or psychological care. Also remember that

185

energy healing is very complicated. Many conditions require the attention of a professional energy healer or even a specialist within the field of energy healing.

There are many additional experiences that respond well to energy healing which are not covered in this book, including many which have no apparent physical manifestation, and appear only at the level of energy. These can involve spiritual and psychic events.

For the reader interested in learning more, you may consider the author‟s forthcoming book, Professional Energy Healing: the Definitive Guide. You may also wish to take coursework in professional energy healing through the Mission Energy Healing InstituteTM, which offers courses both on-campus and through distance-learning programs.

To Learn Lessons

“I intend to learn all the lessons my Higher Self gives me permission to learn from this situation in the gentlest way possible, now or as soon as possible, if it serves my highest good, thank you, so be it.”

Cleansing

“This ball of energy expands to a size large enough to encompass my body, pushing out of me anything my Higher Self gives me permission to release at this time. I release anything my Higher Self gives me permission to release. I call on Archangel Raphael to remove from me all energies and energy beams that I am releasing, and dispose of them in a way that serves the highest good. All voided places in me are filled in with healing energy from my divine Higher Self. This occurs now or as soon as possible, in the gentlest way possible, if it serves the highest good, thank you, in full faith, so be it.”

Programming a Shield

“This shield is internally permeable, and externally impermeable to anything that does not serve my highest good. It is externally permeable to the Creator‟s love and light, and to anything that serves my highest good. If it serves the highest good, so be it.”

To Integrate the Self

“I am integrated in all times, in all ways, for the highest good, bringing forward only the highest good of the learning, and that which is healthy and evolves me, in the gentlest way possible, now or as soon as possible, if that serves the highest good, so be it.”

To Release Unhealthy Fear

“I release all fear and energy beams that my Higher Self gives me permission to release at this time. I ask Archangel Raphael to dispose of what I am releasing appropriately, and fill in any voided places in me with healing energy from my divine Higher Self. All of this happens now or as soon as possible, in the gentlest way possible, if it serves the highest good, thank you, so be it.”

To Shift Unhealthy Energetic and Behavioral Patterns

I ask Archangel Raphael to dispose of that which I release appropriately, and fill in any voided places in me with healing energy from my divine Higher Self. All of this happens now or as soon as possible, in the gentlest way possible, if it serves the highest good. Thank you. In full faith, so be it.”
