Now, healing. I've recently had the opportunity to start doing healing again in a spiritualist temple, which is something I used to do back in the 80s. I've only given healing to one person so far, but she was very grateful, could move much freely, and looked generally much brighter. I was pleased to see a few things at that temple - young people attending and obviously (judging from some of the interactions) studying there, quite a few people giving healing, some good rules (e.g., washing hands between "patients" to avoid transferring energy - not necessarily "negative": it could simply energy that one patient is compatible with and the next is not - from one patient to another), and healers who were prepared to receive healing. I stopped too early, owing to lack of familiarity with the set up, but hope to be able to do a lot more healing there.
I have done some thinking about ways of teaching improvements to healing since then. Let's begin by considering the mechanism in healing. If you've clicked on the link I gave above (and maybe even if you haven't, you smarty-pants you :) ), you will know that the healer is actually just a conduit for positive energy from a Higher Source - whether you call that your Patron Deity, your Guide, the Goddess, or something else. Look at the diagram below.
The healer is basically a conduit, or a transformer - a bit like a radio set. The radio receives radio waves and converts them to audible energy (i.e., sound), somewhat as the healer collects and directs healing energy into the patient. Now, what if the radio set is buried in all sorts of rubbish - scraps of foil, and ... maybe two feet of old clothing and six feet of earth. It isn't going to work very well, is it?
However, if you clear the path for the radio waves to reach the antenna, it has a chance of starting to work. So the first suggestion for improving healing is improving a pathway for your Guides/Patron Deity/the Goddess to reach whatever point on your body is being used as an entry point for the healing energy. Now, in choosing a place or area to do this, be mindful of where you sense or visualise the Goddess/your Patron Deity/your Guides standing. If you feel/visualise them standing behind you, there is no point in concentrating on clearing a path upwards from your crown chakra, shoulders, hands or whatever other point you have the healing energy enter you. There is quite a particular problem that many people have with visualising flaming or other auric cleansing techniques behind them, and yet that is the commonest place I have sensed the Goddess/your Patron Deity/your Guides (I'm just going to type "Helper") standing - for other healers, not just myself. I therefore consider it important for healers to be able to strongly project energy behind them, to make sure they can give the whole process the best possible chance of success.
This technique can then be used to clear any pathways within yourself that healing will be channelled along - for instance, along your armss, or from your cromn chakra to your hands.
Next, our various levels of being (etheric, astral, etc) all impact on each other. To some extent, this is the principle behind healing - put in energy at a higher frequency such as one of the astral levels, and the benefits created will then trickle down to the physical. (This also applies in reverse: if you are tired, stressed or ill, your etheric, astral, mental etc bodies will be harmed - which is one part of the mechanism by which things like excessive stress can cause problems such as mental ill health.) So ... I use techniques like shiatsu on my lower arms to open up the (etheric) and kinesiology to get the channels as clear as possible.
This is also the benefit using techniques like regular colour breathing. For benefit with healing, direct the visualised colours along the path you intend healing energy from your Helper(s) to pass. This has been useful for me, though, as I've realised I need to get my diagrams and notes on healing posted ...
Happy healing :)
I'll leave this post at that for now.
Love, light, hugs and blessings
