CHAPTER 1
The Role of the Healer
What is healing? Healing can come in many forms, and you will learn so much about being a healer in this manual — from the things you need to remember; to building your awareness of the energies, fields, and processes of healing; and finally to the techniques and exercises you can master as you further develop your skills as a healer.
When you look at energy and at the mechanics of quantum physics, you can begin to understand several important things about healing. In quantum physics a particle turns into a wave, and that wave turns into a particle. When you make something matter to you mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, it becomes matter. If it is important to you what the neighbors think, then the neighbors will think something about you. It matters to you; it manifests on Earth, and often inside the body.
When you let go of an energy by forgiving, or acknowledging that "matter" exists, then the matter can be turned into another energy, and the energy can be turned into any direction that you choose in your life. When you guilt and shame other people, and choose not to be responsible for your reality, then the matter is put into other people's hands and there is no way that you can heal or change it back into a vitalized energy. When you become responsible for your own energy and what matters to you, then you have the capacity to change it.
What are you most suited to heal?
Some people possess natural athletic abilities, while others are more naturally suited to be healers. If I had an interest in becoming an athlete at an early age, my life path would have been motivated by very different energies. The life experiences I attracted would have been nothing like those that I have lived as a teacher, healer, and student.
The personal experiences you have gathered on the life path that you have taken up until now will also determine the type of healer you are naturally suited to be. Whether athlete or healer, the more you exercise and expand your innate abilities, the more enhanced your performance will become.
To be healed is the choice of the healee. The healer is the connection between the healee and Source. A conduit — that's what the word healer means — energy, a conduit of light.
Some of the greatest healers can heal others with their presence alone. Others may use their voice, touch, teachings, art, books, thoughts, hands, music, or prayers to heal. Healing can be so many things, even simple, well-timed words moving from Source through you. As a healer, you are most suited to heal others of the things that you have personally healed from or with experiences that have touched your life significantly. You will draw healees who need to be healed in the areas of which you have completed your own healings, and you will go through periods when you will magnetize the same disease or symptoms over and over again with healee after healee.
Becoming a conduit
The primary or main function of a healer is to be a conduit for Source and Earth energies. The healer becomes an integral part of the fields that raise and complete the vibrations to facilitate the healing processes. You are like a television set. You, as a healer, are not the big picture. You are not the viewer. The quality of your individual healing equipment is composed of your personal standards. The resolution depends on how many solutions you have found to your own challenges. The amount of channels that you are capable of receiving depends on your ability to open up, expand, switch, and seek new channels. Your lack of judgments and limitations will create color, and the size of your screen is proportionate to your clear intention to heal. The more you personally heal yourself, the more access you have to other channels, and therefore it will become easier to sense what is going on with the healee.
As a piece of living equipment, it is up to you to maintain your quality and operational ability. Fine-tuning begins each time you work with a new healee. With time, connecting with Spirit to heal will be as easy as turning on the television. The specific channel to tune into for the healing will be given to you by Spirit with each healing.
CHAPTER 2
What Healers Need to Know About Healees
The healee is the person to whom you are directing the energy from Source. The first and most critically important point to discuss about our human healees is that free will is to be respected. Each being is exactly where they are supposed to be at this moment in time. If you drop your judgments and view them from a soul level, you may understand the Divine plan no matter how "bad" the situation may seem. When you understand that the soul is experiencing an intentional developmental lesson, you honor their free will; for example, some people's soul contracts include teaching compassion through their example of how NOT to be as they die. Keep your judgments out of the way; no matter what it looks, feels, or sounds like, the healing will or will not happen on the physical plane according to the terms of the soul contract.
Healing friends, family, and loved ones
You may get some great results using the techniques in Healing With Energy on family members, close friends, or your spouse. For optimal healing in general, it is advisable to ask someone outside your friend/family circle to work on them. This is because family members share the same or similar genetic and energetic patterns. When the healer and the healee share these patterns in a healing session, it is more difficult for the healer to bring through the appropriate energies to achieve results. In other words, these very similar patterns may get in the way of the healing energies.
In relationships with our close friends and spouses, there comes a point of depth where we consciously or subconsciously develop certain biases, and also shared DNA. The bias could be that we love this person so much that we desperately want to see the healing happen, even if this is not in alignment with the greatest good for all concerned. The healee might not be conscious of the outcome they most need, and your fears of losing this person or seeing them experience pain may get in the way. The bottom line on healing family, friends, and loved ones is that DNA, feelings, or thoughts about this person can detract from the healer doing his or her job, which is being a clear conduit of healing Source energy. The best way to heal your own genetic and energetic patterns is to heal yourself and then model your own healing for friends, family, and loved ones to follow.
Getting permission
The healer should not force healings on people. Before a healing, the healee must first ask clearly for the healing. Sometimes the healee will come to you for advice, and then come back again and again for more advice on the same situation, yet they will not have put that advice into action. This is a form of asking for a healing. It is important to understand that when people complain about something, they are not asking for a healing. They must ask you how to change it before you can work on them.
Types of healees
Healees will respond to the energy coming from Source through you in various ways.
You may encounter many combinations or hybrids of the various types of healees covered in this chapter. These simple suggestions are appropriate no matter what type you encounter:
* Keep the healee focused on breath.
* Let go and let Source control the healing.
* Keep your focus on the energy flow, not the healee.
Hard worker
These healees work so hard, and they have so much of their own energy flowing, that there is virtually no room for the energy from Source. It is important to get these healees to relax and focus on their breathing. They will use motion of the body to channel the energy of Source rather than letting the energy flow naturally into the places it needs to be. Do not confuse this with the healee who works with the energy to let it flow into the places that the energy wants to go. The healee who is working with the energy will not repeat a movement over and over again.
Cold/white
These healees will turn extremely white and hold all the energy inside. The effect is that they feel "colder" as the healing progresses. These types of people have a tremendous fear of change, and will breathe in shallow breaths. Their bodies will be rigid and they will probably not move. If you rock the body gently at different points of the healing, the energy they are holding on to may gradually loosen, and the energy from Source will slowly and surely move into the healee. Get this healee to breathe deeply and stay focused on their breath. You will probably need to remind them several times to breathe.
Chatty
These healees want to talk throughout the healing. Consciously or unconsciously they want to control the healing, and they want you to do it their way. They will give you all sorts of fantastic reasons for moving your hands and shifting the way you're directing the energy. Gently remind them that Source is in charge of the healing, and their job is to focus on their breath. Usually these people are healers or teachers themselves.
Cough/spit
These healees cannot seem to connect the head and the body. They move used energy out through their throat by coughing or spitting it out of their mouths. This type usually gets "chunks" of healing. Encourage them to spit and cough as much as possible, and know it will usually take multiple sessions to complete a full healing. After several sessions, they will stop coughing and spitting, and when they do, remind them to focus their energy in the heart so that you will prepare them for the major chunk of healing energy that they will receive to fill in the spot.
Rebel/resister
These healees will probably go through all the motions of healing while they dispose the energy elsewhere, so they can hang on to it. Sometimes these healees focus on their breath so much that it is exaggerated. You will sense no movement of energy, and when you express that, they will respond with, "I'm doing my best" or "I don't know how." Sometimes abandonment works with this type. Tell the healee that you are working harder than they are, then quit and walk away. These healees fear the unknown, and will usually make changes if they have a detailed description of the healing processes and the results that they may expect. Watch these people and you will learn much from them — they are masters of manipulation, and can create distraction at the drop of a pan. The rebel/resister has perfected the avoidance of every Earth and Source energy.
Crier/screamer
These healees have been trained to move energy around by using their emotions. These behaviors should not be encouraged, discouraged, or acknowledged. During a healing, under no circumstances should you rub or pat anyone who is crying, because this can plug people into their sexual abuse issues. Patting or physically consoling is detrimental to the healing process because focusing on these issues eats up the healing energy from Source that could be directed elsewhere, and this will not help raise the vitality of the healee's body.
Traveler
These healees leave their bodies the moment the healing starts. Travelers are challenging due to the difficulty of getting a sense of how the healing is going because you can't easily tell where they are. You may have to work hard to intuit what is really going on with this energy. Because the travelers are not in their bodies, it's harder for a healer to determine where the energy should go. Caution: these types of healees leave their bodies in a shield that says they are in good shape; you need to get past that shield.
Swallower
These healees let the energy move the blocks within their systems up, leading to the way out. When the energy reaches the throat, they swallow their pattern because subconsciously they want to keep this energy. Remind them not to swallow, and explain that they are swallowing and retaining an old pattern.
Clencher
These healees will allow the energies to move out of their bodies. When you check, it is gone. They have a secret though: They keep the energy that should be disposed of within their closed fists, and put it back after the healing is over. In their hands, they hide the negative energy, pain, or core issues energy, so it is not instantly apparent for a healer to sense it in their bodies. Also, watch for women and long-haired men who, at the end of a healing, put the energy in their hair. They usually do this by twisting locks or moving their hair in an intense movement.
Scruncher
These healees will let all the used energy move up their face, and will contort the muscles in the face to hold the energy. It will look as though all the features of the face are in one 4-inch circle. Gently smooth down the muscles in the face while running the energy with your other hand. This healee will find it difficult to cry although their eyes may fill with water. Encourage them to cry (do not pat them), and wait until several tears have rolled down the face. The scruncher may even deny that they are crying with nonsense statements: "My eyes are leaking" or "I have something in my eye." If the healee makes statements of denial, remain silent and keep the energy flowing.
Assumptions
No matter what type of healees you are working with, do not assume that they are broken. Use your knowledge about, and experience with, energy to see, feel, or hear what is going on so that you will be informed with the facts that they might not even be consciously aware of. People will frequently tell you that they are dis-eased when this is not actually true. Often the source of the disease is an ingrained and outdated belief system of theirs that needs to be eliminated.
Do not assume that your healee is healthy. People who appear to be healthy can also exhibit an aura of nonvitality. Although his or her life seems to be in order, it may not be so true. Check it out.
Four questions
Before the session, ask your healee these four questions and have them write down the answers. The purpose is so they can begin a conversation with the matter they want to heal:
* What is your challenge?
* How do you know you have it?
* What have you done about it?
* What are you going to do about it next?
It is important that you do not use these exact words every time with every healee, and that you paraphrase the questions and let the answers come out of the mouth of the healee.
Final note
The healee will get more from a session when he or she has a material investment in the healing, so it is important that you charge for healing sessions. You will find that those you work on for free will not take the healing as seriously as the people who have an energetic or financial investment in the healing.
CHAPTER 3
Connecting to the Four Energies
Establishing a clean and clear connection to the four energies or forces is required if you are to realize the strongest possible healings. During the healing process, agreements are made with these energies that may or may not be spoken of or consciously received by the healer or the healee. The combined power of these four energies creates the forces that will work together to provide the most complete healing possible. If any one of these energies is out of alignment with the full power of light, or not working in unison, then the quality of the healing will be severely diminished or nullified.
Four healing energies and forces
Source — ask and you shall receive
There are many ways to ask Source to receive energy. At times, a sincere intention to heal is enough of a signal to Source. At other times, asking from your heart and with the deepest gratitude for life creates a profound connection with Source. Most importantly, walk your talk and you will become a conduit for the healing energies of life. You know you are connected to Source when your life flows smoothly (no bumping into things, tripping over things, and so on).
Yourself — intention of the healer overrides technique
An agreement exists with your higher and lower self that allows you to serve as the conduit for the energies from Source. There is also an agreement with your ego to stay out of the way while you are serving as the conduit for Source. The agreement, which exists with your higher and lower self, was initiated during your soul contract, and it is the one that tends to vacillate the most.
