Greetings to all here. Many of us have experienced healing through energetic or spiritual means. By “healing” I mean not only healing of our moods and emotions, or our sense of self-worth and wellbeing, but also our physical bodies. I have. And many of us on the Tribe.net spiritual, metaphysical, and bodywork tribes are healers ourselves, in some sense of the word.
After a couple decades of Zen and yoga-meditation, I was attuned to Reiki (back in 2000) and within three years had been attuned to Reiki III. Like many of you, I’ve experienced energy healing and derived great benefit from it at the emotional, connective, and mood levels… and also considerable benefit at the physical level.
Life and identity, skills and abilities all involve levels.
After a lot of communication with spiritual people and healers, after hearing some absolutely astounding & true stories from people I’ve known personally, and after a lot of reading I’ve come to the realization that there are healers practicing at levels far in advance of what I and my friends have generally been involved with. I feel – without any shame or sense of inferiority - like I’m sort of “in the foothills of the Himalayas” but not really up in the heights. So I’m starting this thread because I feel there will be many of us who have arrived at the same realization.
Life is a matter of evolution. There are further heights. There are energies or levels more advanced, more powerful, more effective. I’d like to discuss this on this forum, just because it cannot hurt to be better informed, and because I believe many of us wish to progress a lot in this life.
I’m not a guru, and not on any high horse. I’m an aspirant and a learner, as we all are. Anybody looking for a couple of illustrations of what I’m talking about may go to my profile page and read my blog installment about miraculous healing.
Please do participate in this thread…
Love & Light,
Tanemon

Re: Care to discuss advanced spiritual healing?
Mon, April 7, 2008 - 10:36 AMhi, Tanemon --
I think it's a great topic, and I really hope folks will jump in, too, to whatever discussion evolves.
America is an interesting place, because we are truly a melting-pot of infinite spiritual paths, possibilities, healing systems, etc. (by "America" I mean the continent, at large, including Canada... *grinning*)
my experience is that many of the energy systems, while beautiful and useful and helpful to people, are beginning steps into the possibility of understanding deeper mechanisms of healing and energy. (I was a Reiki master, myself, doing many healings for people and attuning many Reiki healers. it was great -- but it was incomplete.)
after I met a healing master who demonstrated miracle healings -- dissolving terminal cancers completely in a few minutes -- I definitely got the lid blown off of what I thought healing was all about.
the thing that struck me -- more than anything -- about that kind of approach was that he knew, exactly, what he was doing with a person's physical system, energy system, and karmas.
what bugged me about Reiki healings was that they were often successful, or partly successful, and they seemed unpredictable at best. I'd go to heal someone's foot and their digestive problems would go away. stuff like that. interesting, powerful -- but imprecise and not at all exact.
in my experience, soul healing is the real healing. if the soul is happy and healthy, the physical system and the emotions and everything else falls into line as well. how to recognize and access the soul -- and whatever its disturbances are that are causing the physical/emotional condition to express -- that's a real study.

Re: Care to discuss advanced spiritual healing?
Thu, April 10, 2008 - 10:15 AMGood post, Alx. Lots to consider in it.
I've had scattered personal-message and thread conversations with a number of people, over the last five months or so, about powerful and advanced healing abilities and methods. I think some of these folks are a littler shy, but they don't need to be.
Come out, come out, wherever you are...

Re: Care to discuss advanced spiritual healing?
Sun, April 13, 2008 - 7:30 PMAloha Tanemon and Alx,
Thank you for bringing the subject of energy healing not only on the spiritual level, but the energetic level as well and how emotionally they are connected. I’ve been drawn to this topic heavy…especially lately. I am a Massage Therapist. I specialize in Lomi Lomi Hawaiian Massage, which is extremely beneficial with cellular release. Experiencing this type of healing first hand has directed me on my discovery to understand how our emotions/traumas create the poisons/diseases in our bodies and how we can heal them.
I am anxious to understand and learn any methods we find that are beneficial to beating and curing the diseases we unconsciously create ourselves.
I have experienced first hand a healing method that I know now I will study this summer. This healing method is called Holographic Memory Resolution. I am curious if anyone else has experienced this and their results. The creator of this is Brent Baum. I just spent the day with him today, learning about Crystal and Gems and their healing purposes. What an amazing man! A year ago, I had an HMR session with him. In just one 90-minute HMR session I am cleared of trauma I have carried from years past. Trauma I could not clear up with years of talk therapy. I know I am giving a vague explanation of this type of healing…but I want to put it out there and that it is another energetic method of healing that is extremely powerful.
Another form of healing that I’ve only read about yet have not experienced is called, “The Journey”. This is another method, where we can heal the poisons in our bodies we have created. I hope to study this in the near future. I am anxious to hear from anyone who has studied either of these methods and their experiences. I of course would love to hear/learn of any other methods I may not be aware of.
Alx: I would love to hear and learn more about your mention of: “after I met a healing master who demonstrated miracle healings – dissolving terminal cancers completely in a few minutes – I definitely got the lid blown off of what I thought healing was all about.” This fascinates me. Please explain more.
Thank you Tanemon for getting this conversation growing… I am anxious and open to learning and sharing about all that is out there.
Blessings,
Sarah -

Re: Care to discuss advanced spiritual healing?
Mon, April 14, 2008 - 12:13 PMHi, Sarah. Thanks for your post. Among other things, you wrote: "I am anxious to understand and learn any methods we find that are beneficial to beating and curing the diseases we unconsciously create ourselves."
Well, we could have a very lengthy discussion about just how broad is the idea of "the diseases we unconsciously create ourselves". Some of the things that powerful healers can treat successfully are things that are usually called "injuries" rather than what are commonly termed "diseases". I mean, examples are given on my Tribe profile page, one (in the blog entry "Miraculous Cures") is about a guy who was in a car accident and had a persistent back injury. Another story (about a Powerful Healing by a yogi) involved the dissolving, in a few moments, of extensive and painful blistering of the palm of a man's hand.
Of course, every sort of healing is important -- improvement of self-image and mood, erasure of residual emotional pain, restoration of self-confidence and energy, elimination of cellular poisons, etc.
As Alx has said, it is amazing how aware and precise some healers can be.
L&L,
Tanemon

well, I came into contact with a spiritual master, a young healing saint from India, in 1999, and saw him do things that made me recognize that I knew NOTHING about energy or healing, even though I thought I did (and had had many interesting experiences in Reiki and other genres of healing that had come through me to help people).
I could tell many stories but essentially, I saw this saint (he was 27 at the time) manifest ash from his fingertips -- whole piles of it! sometimes it would shoot out of his fingertips like snow, covering people in the room with healing, fragrant ash -- to cure terminal cancer and other intense physical conditions.
in my own case, seeing the manifestation like that relieved me of the burden of heartbreak -- another major disease on our planet, and the root cause of huge suffering/physical diseases, in my opinion -- as if whole chapters of my traumatic life-history were de-fanged within minutes.
when I then went to India in 1999, I saw this same master demonstrate even wilder miracles -- completely out-of-the-box, in-your-face expressions of the divine operating through the supernatural and into the natural world -- that created healing for hundreds of people who also witnessed and participated in the same miracles.....
that was enough for me. I started studying the techniques he was teaching, in earnest, and began seeing more deliberate miracle healings happening in the lives of people around me.
I moved to South India in 2000, and lived there for five years, doing nothing but that study.
during that time I saw many many many many miracles of healing and beauty -- really helping tons of people wake up and recognize their own divine capacity as healers and spiritual people.
I also learned a lot about the inner mechanisms of healing -- particularly as it relates to the soul. the real healing is on the soul level, transforming karmas into high divine awareness. healing the body is easy compared to that kind of inner movement.
the miracle experiences really help the soul get there faster -- they're like short-cuts to help the soul remember its divine capacity.
since returning to America in 2005, all I do is help heal people and teach the systems I've learned (and continue to learn) from that Indian saint, many of which were written by the ancient saints thousands of years ago.
I feel that what I saw and learned in India, and teach today, is like a quantum leap forward in an understanding of what healing is and how it really operates in people, and how to create (with god's grace) that kind of lasting peace and healing in people's lives.
I could go on and on but I think I'll leave it here for the moment.

Re: Care to discuss advanced spiritual healing?
Wed, April 16, 2008 - 4:23 PMMy guess is that this man, this saint you refer to - don't know his name - not only knows techniques, but draws upon a great development of soul. After a while, I'd guess that technique is pretty well forgotten about and the ability is simply on-tap.
Soul development... Seems to me that even with Reiki, there are people who achieve more with a given level of attunement and use of the standard techniques. Again, I feel some people are born with more aptitude... though I also feel that Reiki attunements help virtually everybody who gets them, and that using Reiki (practicing) contributes to one's evolution as a Reiki healer.
Yet having said this, I suspect that their are some healing paths that are simply higher paths. Which is another way of saying what I said at the beginning.
Anyhow Alx, I look forward to your comments on this stuff: the levels of paths, and technique (on the one hand) and soul development (on the other). -

Re: Care to discuss advanced spiritual healing?
Fri, April 18, 2008 - 1:12 AMhi, Tanemon --
well, it doesn't hurt to have a hugely developed soul capacity, you're right about that.
but it is -- at least to a certain point -- about technique, and even then a more refined level, certain angles of how to approach the cosmic energy. how to bend certain elements of the divine energy in a certain way -- so that, for instance, one can manifest a physical object as well as effect a healing.
there's another mechanism at play, too, regardless of technique -- it's taking the negative karma of a person into your own (connected to the universal energy) system, washing it there, transforming the high negativity into high divine positivity, and 'giving it back' to the person, for want of a better terminology.
in my teacher's case, it's knowing precisely how much of what karmas to relieve someone of, when -- and in what way.
there was one time where he came into a room full of healers, in Marin County, and looked around at everyone, about 40 people assembled there, waiting. he had a rose-bud in his hand -- and suddenly, without any warning or anything, he ignited the rosebud spontaneously in his hand. it burned to ash in his hand, while everyone was watching, jaws open -- and then he took that ash and put it on the people's Third Eyes. unbelievable miracle healings of super-intense physical ailments and diseases happened to the people in that room.
he took the negative conditions, lit the rose on fire with sheer intention, burned those negativities all at once, and then used the purified, transformed remains of it all -- the ash -- as a high divine healing tool for everyone to receive that transformative miracle energy on the spot.
now, that's a highly deliberate miracle -- as are the resultant healings.
and his name, by the way, is Kaleshwar.

Re: Care to discuss advanced spiritual healing?
Fri, April 18, 2008 - 8:55 AMIt seems, as I read you accounts of your teacher's work, that the form of healing you are describing is something that takes place in proximity to this very gifted, very advanced and accomplished healer.
Alx, you are an apprentice in this approach, as I gather. Is it like Reiki in the sense that it can be used in-person and at a distance? I think I understand that physical contact - such as touching fingers/ash to the third eye - MAY be used. But is touch, or some immediate physical medium like sprayed-out ash, always used?

Re: Care to discuss advanced spiritual healing?
Sat, April 19, 2008 - 2:19 AMhi, Tanemon --
that's a great question. no, physical presence is not at all necessary -- not even for the miracles to occur. my teacher once started a fire in a firepit in Los Angeles -- when he was physically in South India. a dozen or more people saw it.
moreover, for a saint, their consciousness is so immense that they can simultaneously send healing energy to hundreds of thousands of souls at once. maybe millions of souls -- I'm not sure -- but it's a huge number. that's the kind of capacity my teacher has and demonstrates daily.
Jesus healed crowds of thousands, all at the same time. he obviously didn't need to touch each person to accomplish that. it would've taken forever to do that.
so, yes, distance healing is a vital part of these systems.
I once called my master for help -- it was late at night in America and I was experiencing an incredible heart-break and sadness and didn't know what else to do. in those days, he still answered his own phone... I asked for help and he told me to get off the phone and meditate, that he would send the energy. I hung up the phone, and I was sitting on my kitchen floor, thinking, 'Okay, I'll meditate.....' when the wave of energy hit me -- really, like a wave from the ocean -- and I sort of oozed face-forward down onto the ground and went out into the cosmic. I came back to normal consciousness about three hours later, still face-down on the floor, realizing that I felt a lot lighter in my heart and that I'd been the recipient of an incredible healing from 15,000 miles away.
as for being an apprentice in this approach, well, yes, I guess one could call it that. I've been a dedicated student since 1999, when I first met him in a photograph that came alive and, uh, spoke to me. I met him in person in Seattle in October '99, and was visiting India for the first time six weeks later.
I've been working hard ever since, and only in this one modality (which encompasses a whole range of mechanisms about how this creation operates, and how the souls operate) -- because it blew everything else I knew (including Reiki) out of the water. I moved to India in 2000, and lived at his ashram there until 2005, meditating 10-12 hours a day for periods of several months at a time, developing the miracle energy channels to bring this healing into the world.
since 2005, all I do is teach this knowledge and do healings.
it's pretty unbelievable.

This makes no sense to me, but it is probably because I don't beleive anyone should do this, anyone who is in karma has to resovle that karma themselves. What would the point of karma be if we could just get in line at the local guru shop and have the guru clear it for us? Then this would be a very useless experience, being human on planet earth. And I have a problem with the labels of 'negative' and 'positive' in relation to karma. Please try to explain this in some other terms if you can.
Thank you.

Re: Care to discuss advanced spiritual healing?

Okay. Now with the Sri Kaleshwar/Sai approach to healing, does the distant-healing form also deal with specifics? Can it be directed to specific problems and intended healing?
I'll mention one of the reasons I ask about this. As I said in my original post in this thread, I am a Reiki III... and I know that each of the others who have been participating in this thread also have advanced Reiki attunements and training. Yet in my experience, in-person Reiki sessions have been somewhat more specific than distant sessions... at least in the sense that you can put your hands on or over the place where a person reports a physical 'symptom' (and you can also 'scan' the person with your hands, looking for hot or cold zones, and then you can work on those using Reiki). With a distant treatment, one is reluctant to try to visualize too specifically, because one must - with Reiki - remain a conduit only, and not try to force Reiki to go somewhere or do something.
So I'd appreciate your comments on this question about distance and specificity. Thanks...
Namaste,
Tanemon -

Re: Care to discuss advanced spiritual healing?
Mon, May 5, 2008 - 2:11 AMhi, Tanemon --
yes, this approach can be quite specific, even at a distance.
for instance, my husband did a healing for a friend's wife who was having severe endometriosis -- really bad bleeding, requiring multiple blood transfusions a week -- and he did one in-person healing and 3 days of long-distance healing. on the 3rd day, the woman's bleeding completely stopped and never came back. the doctors recommending a total hysterectomy were stupefied.

Re: Care to discuss advanced spiritual healing?
Sat, May 24, 2008 - 7:24 AMAlx,
Reiki is not intended for the kind of specifics you are looking for. Reiki is up to the receiver to heal, not the person giving the reiki. The unpredictability that you mention in relation to reiki is a misunderstanding of the purpose. Just because someone comes to you for a reiki healing for their foot does not mean that is the real purpose of the healing, which is between the requestor and his/her higher self. In my opinion, when something like a digestive issue is healed it will have effect on the other issues, it is more basic and could be the root of the issue with the foot. All things are connected in our bodies and the symptoms are rarely an exact indication of the system that is actually malfunctioning or needing energy. -
-
Re: Care to discuss advanced spiritual healing?
Sat, May 24, 2008 - 7:27 AMI guess I will qualify what I just said about symptoms not being a true indicator of which system is malfunctioning. If you know chinese medicine, the symptom is easier to identify as an indication of a certain system (i.e. excessive anger really does indicate a 'hot' liver).
Foot problems can be an indication of many different things depending on the type of issue, an infection that will not go away could indicate pancreas issues, swelling can indicate heart issues, tight muscles or cramps could indicate mineral deficiencies or excess. Etc.

Re: Care to discuss advanced spiritual healing?
Thu, April 17, 2008 - 1:04 PMTanemon,
Thank you for the invitation to join in this conversation. I was just dreaming about "advanced healing practices" or meditating on the very subject a few days ago. I believe it was a dream...
First, and foremost, there is always something to learn, new ways to grow and new vista's that lead to new peaks yet to be discovered. I started as a child massaging mom's sore back and feet, I moved into blessings and crystal healing in my adolescence. I discovered hands on healing through witchcraft, then Reiki in 1994, second in 1995 (or was it 1996) mastership in 2003... and yet, the possibilities are endless. I still have lots of study ahead of me and even now I feel that there is more to learn about healing.
Personally I am involved in my own healing process, which I have blogged about extensively at lifencompass.org. The power of blood (Kekki) and my connection to ancestors, healing family, and past lives. All revolving around a Chiron moment leading up to that "Healer! Heal theyself!" moment in my life.
The world of herbs and essential oils, the power of plants and even trees... beautiful trees is blooming in my mind. I've found study on Reiki that is beyond what I was taught and discovered healing through the great cosmic goddess and god powers and their many forms. I'm even adding a return to the study of the body.
I organize my list, I embrace each set of lessons and integrate them into the whole.... all of me, heals.
In and throughout it all, what I find is that there is a Healers Consciousness that develops and eventually takes in all of these lessons, the information, experience, etc. Then, after this stage of taking in, there is practice. how is the method different, the energy, the practice? how are they used singularly and then how are they used in an integrative way? In many ways I still allow the Reiki to guide all the principle healing sources, allowing the greater universal intelligence provide for the healing... and that Healers Consciousness grows, it buds, I think it is blooming.
I suppose, what I am saying is that, for me it isn't the level of healing but how integrated I am to my healing sources and how I utilize them in my practice, my daily interactions and my most personal relationships and private thoughts; because, to me, unless I am a healer of the highest order in my own self, in my own life, in the very relationships I am in, I am not a healer of the highest order at all!
Lately I've been working with allot of divinity, the Goddess through Our Lady of Guadalupe. HA! And I'm not even Catholic (as if that makes a difference); Quan Yin and Athena, or just universally the Great Cosmic Mother/ Feminine.
Lastly and most importantly to me is -in the development of the Healers Consciousness- is the discovery that healing can happen anywhere, at any time and in any way. I could speak healing, hear healing, create healing in art, at the office, or stapling a document. Healing is not limited to my hands on your body, or my eyes beaming, or praying or any of those things. It is more and beyond me, it is a movement that all of us are part of and, when we become conscious of that great living, healing, life affirming movement, it not only strengthens the flow but provides a new channel for that love in the world today.
As I write this, I am sitting near a conference not 10 feet from me with some very divisive people who generally have issues, problems, sometimes even arguments.(they are definitely on good behavior since the owner of the company is here). I work in this space every day. I have created the crystal grid. I provide the essential oils for scent (and more), I spend each morning checking in on that grid and charging, blessing the office, being a "Culture Guardian" for the office culture. It may be a real estate office but undoubtedly this is a healing place.
In short, healing is in all things.
These are my thoughts as rough as they may be.
Be well.

and I think this is really beautiful. you're right, I think, about healing happening anywhere, any time, and not at all being restricted to what people think of as 'healing' at all -- it's not a formal process, it's an organic unfolding between energy beings.
these days I define healing as 'any situation in which two or more people participate in an energy exchange when someone ends up feeling relieved.'
think of an audience at a live music concert -- relaxing, unstressing after a tough day, enjoying, opening the heart if the music is really good -- aren't the performers, then, really healers? they're causing -- through their music -- relaxation and an opening of the heart in the people listening. that's a HUGE energy exchange (and unfortunately most performers don't know how to de-charge that energy properly, so they run to the bars, to drugs, or to sex to try to blow it off and rebalance themselves).
just an example of an energy exchange and how people are engaged in it every day. mothers with their kids. school teachers with their students. work colleagues telling one another their stories after along day -- stuff like that.
it's all healings.

"it's an organic unfolding between energy beings." and I cannot agree more.Like the symphony or music you were speaking of, when we (you, me, anyone) reach the level of acknowledging the healing as it occurs, I believe then we are not only witnessing and experiencing the healing... I believe we are magnifying it because we are participating in it simply by witnessing!
I have to thank Tanemon again for the invitation to this group! Such a great discussion!

Re: Care to discuss advanced spiritual healing?
Sat, April 19, 2008 - 12:15 PMWell, I'm glad you came into this discussion, Scott. And, of course, I say the same to Sarah.
I've never been in a position to communicate with someone who has Alx's experience. And I've met yogis and Buddhist masters, been taught meditation by them, etc. I've always sensed that this high level of healing phenomena, of consciousness and capability existed... and I've met people who HAVE been miraculously healed (but who are acquaintances, but not my next neighbours, and who were healed by people living far away, in other parts of the world). And of course I've read widely, avidly, and thought about these things. That's why I put the stuff I did on my blog & profile page, because of my interest in it.
To actually be able to exchange in a dialogue with someone who has Alx's experience, training and devotion is a real joy. I consider that all of us in this little chat are blessed! And I mean it deeply...
Love & Light,
Tanemon -

Re: Care to discuss advanced spiritual healing?
Sat, April 19, 2008 - 12:23 PMhi, Tanemon --
I want to clarify why I'm telling these stories and sharing my experiences here -- it's not to say that I'm so fortunate to have had direct contact with and teaching from a miracle healing saint (although I am grateful to have been blessed in this way, of course), but it is to say that every human being is eligible to learn how to do these kinds of miracle healings if they are willing to do the hard work to achieve this knowledge. the hard work means -- being willing to let existing belief systems shatter, belief systems about who we are and what we're capable of, or what our limitations are, beliefs about life and death and the reality underlying this planet, beliefs about what spirituality is about.
if we want the truth of this creation, really, deeply -- we can receive it. along with knowing the truth, it's important to approach the mechanisms of the miracles in a systematic way.
my teacher's role in this creation is to de-mystify these mechanisms and restore the birthright to every soul; not only to know who we really are and where we really came from, as souls, but also to be supernatural, high-level healers for one another and humanity at large.
so -- I'm sharing these experiences to (hopefully) inspire anyone reading to want to develop these capabilities and experiences in themselves.

Re: Care to discuss advanced spiritual healing?
Thu, April 24, 2008 - 10:38 AMFirst I want to thank Tanemon from the depths of my heart for inviting me to this discussion. The invitation came as exactly the perfect time, as these things often do.
I've been struggling with the incompleteness of my own healing practices. I work as a 'holistic healer', and have - as you all have - experienced and witnessed amazing things. The healing I've experienced myself has literally saved my life, brought me back from a certainty of death for this body -- but the healing is not complete, nor will it be until I learn more. It's been a good start, in other words, and while I have tremendous respect and gratitude for the healing connections I've been given, I'm ready to take the next steps... whatever steps are necessary.
I loved what Alx wrote, that healing is "any situation in which two or more people participate in an energy exchange when someone ends up feeling relieved." This reflects my own belief/experience that 'healing' is an act of balance that isn't limited to the body, mind and spirit but that also involves the context in which the body, mind and spirit exist. So as Scott said, all actions - including stapling papers together - can be an act of healing when they bring balance.
And so I have to view the circumstances of the past six months or so of my life, during which I became quite ill on all levels (body, mind and spirit) despite my own efforts and healing connections, despite too my continued ability to help others, as a necessary process in the balancing (healing) of my own life. It's shown me where my understanding is seriously lacking.
I woke this morning feeling more clear-headed than I have in quite some time, and I know it's because I finally asked for help. I belong to a small group of Reiki practitioners who occasionally request long-distance assistance for themselves and/or the people they're working with; a friend of mine asked me if I'd asked for help from the group, and I had to admit it hadn't even occurred to me to do so. I'd taken a kind of 'lone wolf' approach, thinking I just wasn't working hard enough, it was all my fault I was sick and so I should bring myself up out of it... an approach that obviously wasn't working for me. The healing energy has come; I'm finally starting to feel better, more connected; but it's been quite apparent to me for some time that there's something missing here.
In the best response I received to my request, Tanemon sent me an email inviting me to this discussion. Quite frankly, I'm here because I need help; I need a direction in which to focus my personal discipline. Spiritually I've benefited tremendously from speaking with others who have shared their own experience of spiritual reality - hearing their experiences has had the effect of turning a light on in my own space where I can see my surroundings more clearly. And I believe hearing the healing experiences of others, how they have moved forward in their own processes, will provide similar illumination. So I'm looking forward to exploring the posts and blogs of those who've posted here... and I hope this discussion continues as well.
Thank you all for your participation in this discussion; it's done me a world of good!

Re: Care to discuss advanced spiritual healing?
Thu, April 24, 2008 - 1:51 PMhi, all -- and Plur --
so glad you brought up the question of healers getting sick. it's a big topic.
as one small aspect of it, I really have to talk about the principle of decharging -- it's a huge missing link in terms of spiritual healing and understanding how the human energy system really works.
decharging is one simple technique I picked up in India from my master teacher, and is the often over-looked side of meditation & healing.
(I used to wonder why most meditators were fairly cranky, often irritable people. same with yogis, ie, Hatha guys and Iyengar yoga practitioners. I thought they were supposed to be calm and balanced, ha, ha!!!!)
in meditation, we CHARGE the soul -- which starts purification running in us. once the purification is running, it means, whatever blocks and crap we have in our astral and causal bodies (storehouses of karma) gets shaken loose and unless we decharge it, we act out of it and get stuck with it and digest it all over again!
for healers, the situation is even more dire. many healers believe (because their tradition states it) that they DON'T need any form of 'decharging' or 'grounding' -- after they've spent a day working for hours on peoples' bodies, hearts (like psychotherapists, for example) or souls (like energy healers).
this is why most healers get sick after a few years of doing really inspired, charged, wonderful healings -- they're taking on the stress and strains, the illnesses, and fatigues and worries and karmas of the people they're healing. whether they notice it or not. it's like the principle of fire -- whether you 'believe' fire will burn you if you stick your hand in it, or you don't believe it will burn, guess what? if you stick your hand in a roaring blaze, you'll get burned. it's the nature of fire.
same with healings. whether we believe as healers that we're taking on stuff or not, we are. (I was a Reiki healer and master for many years, and didn't think I was susceptible to all the energies I was receiving and processing for other people. nonsense.)
not only formal healers per se, but many people in responsible positions at work (ie, being a shoulder to cry on for colleagues or the person everyone unloads on) burn out really fast because they're absorbing all the negativity and stress of the people around them. not only their OWN stress, which as you know is more than enough, but everyone else's, too.
if you guys wanna know some decharging techniques to try -- it's crazy simple, I'm happy to share them.

I knew the issue was related to a need to release; my lymphatic system is completely out of whack, and I have to be really careful with my diet because my digestive system is very sluggish as well... I've understood that these ongoing issues are, at least in part, physical manifestations of the need for energetic clearing.
With Reiki, in my own practice - and I teach this, as well - I never take on the other person's energy but rather act as a conduit for the energy to be focused for the person's healing. However, it makes sense that if I am intuitively given information regarding the state of health of the person I'm working with, there must be some energy coming in. I didn't think that counted. ha
Beyond Reiki, being a 'sensitive', yeah. If I'm not right on top of things my mood can change dramatically just from incoming energy from my surroundings. And I do not have a regular release routine. I do ground and center on a regular basis - clear out excess or imbalanced energy, balance the energy that remains after the clearing and then energize - but that's not been sufficient.
So: Yes, please, I'd really like some pointers for clearing and releasing. Thank you for your kind offer!

yes, I think that's the tricky part about energy healing. there's a mechanism in this creation -- whether we think we're taking on the energy of another person, or we don't think we are, we still are taking on some small percentage (even while 98% of it goes to the cosmic because we know we are just the conduit). but still -- wires can overheat (although it's just the conduit for the electrons that are providing my lamp with power enough to light up).
the conduit itself gets stuck with an energy residue that really needs a proper decharging -- not just an idea of decharging, but a physicalized transfer of energy into the elements of Nature. (like the water, the earth, the fire.)
whether or not I believe that a fire will burn me, chances are likely that if I stick my hand into an open flame, I'm going to get burned. the fire's property is that it burns, whether or not we believe it.
energy is the same -- we're using our five-element structure, the body, as a vehicle through which the divine energy can impact another person's system (five-element structure). in the elements, some residue will stick around. over time, it will build up -- again, whether or not we believe it.
that your lymph system and digestion are troubled only underscores the point.
I think I put an actual decharging technique in the post, above, about decharging with the water element? or it's on the blog page I linked to.....?

Re: Care to discuss advanced spiritual healing?
Fri, May 2, 2008 - 9:12 PMBelated thanks for the link, Alx!
Some time last year my attention was drawn to the massive bundle of cords surrounding me. As a 'sensitive' I tend to hang on to those energetic connections, much to my detriment. I really hadn't even been aware of their presence. It was a long and difficult process to break through the whole mess and release all those cords, and I find I have to do a much shorter, easier version of that process on a very regular basis.
Still, that is different from hanging on to the 'residue' of healing work and miscellaneous contact with others in the healing process, and I am grateful that you've brought this to my attention and have so generously provided such useful information.
Many, many thanks!

Reading what you are saying about reiki has made me realize how extraordinary the woman who attuned me to reiki is. She is one of m y dearest friends as well, but she never taught reiki without including instructions on keeping ourselves healthy energetically and physically (using a lot of Mantak Chia's books and teachings about energy and the physical body). Another reiki master I studied with later was trained by a japanese master and the teachings are totally different. I suppose it is basically that most american teachers are americans, needing everything to be quick and easy and leaving out anything they don't undrestand, thinking it is unessessary, so somehow we are left with the impression that reiki is lacking in some way.
Saying this, I also acknowledge that we always get the teachings we are prepared for, need and in the way that will move us to our next destination of experience.

<<same with healings. whether we believe as healers that we're taking on stuff or not, we are. (I was a Reiki healer and master for many years, and didn't think I was susceptible to all the energies I was receiving and processing for other people. nonsense.) >>
I don't understand this, the point of reiki is that you are not the healer, you do not process anything for anyone, you are a conduit of energy, and being that conduit also gives you access to the energy for your own healing. This has been my experience with reiki and this is what I was taught. If it had been taught any other way I would ahve walked to the nearest exit and not looked back. I am not a healer in any sense that I can heal anyone but myself. I have the ability and have been attuned to act as a conduit for Rie Ki to anyone who wants to plug in. What you express is what I think is the biggest mistake of reiki practitioners, to think they are healers or to aproach reiki as if they are healers able to heal any one besides themselves with reiki.
Now the guru that you mention, that is different, the attitude is different, the purpose is different. I have no experience with anything like that and though I find it interesting, it also causes me concern. It is too easy to give him credit for something that he didn't do, make him responsible for something outside his realm of control. It doesn't sound like you are doing that (except to when you call him a saint, but that is my rebellion against religion and religious terms that I recognize, you can call him anything you want). Anyway. My purpose, that I know why I am here, is to question authority, any authority including my own, and in doing that it often sounds like I am against something. I understand how energetically miracles can happen, do happen, often unnoticed because we are trained to ignore them, and I know that any miracle you or your saint facilitate is really performed by the person who experiences the change/miracle.
Thank you for sharing and again, Tanemon, thank you for this thread. -

<<same with healings. whether we believe as healers that we're taking on stuff or not, we are. (I was a Reiki healer and master for many years, and didn't think I was susceptible to all the energies I was receiving and processing for other people. nonsense.) >>
you replied: "I don't understand this, the point of reiki is that you are not the healer, you do not process anything for anyone, you are a conduit of energy, and being that conduit also gives you access to the energy for your own healing."
yes, and this is my exact point -- this is a kind of misunderstanding about the mechanisms of the Five Element structure (the body) we inhabit. we are of course the conduit -- no one heals but god, or the universal energy, or however you want to reference the Source.
however, in the process of being the conduit, we are subjecting our Five Elements (body) structure to the energy exchange with another Five Elements structure -- someone else's system. there is a transfer of energy, and whenever there is a shift in energy (ie, a healing), some negative energy or karma or illusion moves, or is transformed -- where does it go? it has to go somewhere, during that shift. a person is relieved of the karma, let's say, of a tumor. some of that high negative energy, some old karma or interconnected series of karmas, has been relieved and transformed. in the transformation, some of the energy has to go somewhere. when a piece of wood burns, it releases some energy as heat and flame, and also some smoke.
even if I KNOW without a shadow of a doubt that I am only the vehicle for the divine energy to flow and heal someone, and that the divine source is the real healer -- 98% of the karmic relief goes straight to the divine source. but that other 2%, the backwash, you might say, comes through and into our energy systems, whether we know it or not. over time, without effective decharging, that residue builds up.
I was a Reiki healer and master, myself, and loved it -- really loved it -- for a few years. and I did observe that the Reiki healers and teachers I knew were getting sick in droves. so were the massage therapists. so were the acupuncturists. it was a real mystery to me.
then you wrote:
"Now the guru that you mention, that is different, the attitude is different, the purpose is different."
actually, the purpose is the same -- but way expanded. he is healing the souls, waking them up en masse, often through effecting miraculous healings in their physical systems.
you also wrote: "I have no experience with anything like that and though I find it interesting, it also causes me concern. It is too easy to give him credit for something that he didn't do, make him responsible for something outside his realm of control."
I've seen him manifest objects out of burning hot ash, I've seen him make 5-foot square solid wood crosses bleed blood, I've seen him raise dead animals back to life, I've seen him create crystal objects out of crushed rose petals, I've seen him manifest items in OTHER people's hands (not his own), and have drunk wine that was water a few moments before.
for sure -- there is no 'false credit' or magical belief that he is responsible for something 'outside his realm of control.' to the contrary -- it's been in my face for years, that the miracle energy, like that, is real, and palpable, and operating in this world -- especially by people who understand the vibratory structure of this creation... having witnessed this for years, and seen my teacher's students also create miraculous healings and manifestations, I can say without the shadow of a doubt that learning that kind of control over the Five Elements (earth, fire, sky, water, air) is not only possible but necessary if we want to understand the truth of who we really are, where we really came from, and where we're really going after this life.
to define the term 'saint' -- thanks for your mentioning your resistance to that term, from all the religious conditioning -- I don't use the term in a 'religious' sense. to me, a saint is someone who has dedicated their lives completely to serving god in this creation -- someone who 'wears the clothing of god.' that's all. it's not about any particular tradition, or religious ideas -- many many anonymous human beings in our history have been saints, as well as formally accepted holy souls and everywhere in between.
the miracle facilitated by myself, or by my teacher -- it's not 'really performed by the person who experiences it' although they're also a player in the drama -- miracles on the level I'm talking about are really performed by the divine operating in both characters, the 'healer' and the 'healee.'
when Jesus turned the water to wine, as he is reputed to have done, at the marriage at Qana, his first 'public' miracle -- it wasn't really done by the people attending the wedding, or by his mother, who was asking him to do it. his channels to the cosmic energy -- his understanding how exactly to bend the illusion of reality -- taking the water element and components in the exact vibration of 'water' and turning it, by an act of divine sankalpam (intention), into a substance that is still predominantly composed of the water element but in a different configuration -- that's what performed that miracle.
do you see what I mean?
