BEING A HEALER
My Basic Principles of Spiritual Energy "Healing"

Note: These are just my perspectives, where I am coming from. Not the whole truth, or the ultimate truth for everyone. Also, this is an overview, and there are complexities I don't address here. Feel free to ask about anything.
Second note: I believe many of (not all of) these basic principles cut across all kinds of "energy healing." They can be found in, or used in, or translated into the language of: faith healing, laying on of hands, medicine-person healing, shamanic healing, Reiki, psychic healing, spiritual healing, and many other labels. Of course, there are significant differences among these, and some regard others as not acceptable, but I think there are also significant similarities. I am sure other people have written much more about this subject. There are of course many good teachers of energy healing, and many good books on How To for beginners. Perhaps sometime I will make a bibliography, but a bit of research can turn up many.
Third note: I am focusing primarily on laying-on-of-hands genre of healing interactions. There are many other genres, especially in medicine-person and shamanic practices and the Touch for Health genre. What I say does pertain to chakra and aura cleaning, etheric body surgery, healing of past life traumas affecting the energy bodies, electromagnetic rebalancing, upgrades and improvements to energy bodies to facilitate spiritual abilities, and other types of healing interactions.

It's challenging to talk about this subject, because in (my) Truth no one needs healing, and no one heals, and everyone and everything is God all the time; it is misleading to say God works through us. God is us. And yet, God is more than us. There are paradoxes. So none of what I say is totally true all the time, because there are paradoxes involved.
I generally recommend if a person wants to move into transmitting healing energies they start with a system or technique, such as Reiki, something that has a name and that you learn from others. Practice that and then evolve and transcend, into doing your own unique work, being the magnificent unique instrument you are. Sticking with a system IMO limits what God can do through you and tends to make the process mental, which also limits your effect.
There are so many ways to uplift and benefit others. Realize that the transmitting of God's energy through hands is only one of them. Speaking, singing, toning are others. Writing, composing, creating art, these are others. Just about anything anyone can do, can be "healing" for people, animals, creatures, Earth.
Know that the ability to "heal" is simply a byproduct of your own spiritual evolution. Everyone is naturally a healer just by Being. It appears to be a special talent or ability only because most people don't evolve that far, and don't own their natural ability. They are artificially humble about having such an ability. Being able to be a healing presence for people is not a Big Deal. OTOH, it is, because it takes courage to step into that power. So, paradoxically, we don't DO healing, it is DONE. And WE do it, yet it is done THROUGH us. Most of the language in the rest of this article has to be taken with these grains of salt.
From my viewpoint, there is nothing anyone is experiencing that is due to ignorance, laziness, error, evil, inability, defectiveness, or lack of power. Everything which is, is Divinely Willed and is God. But sometimes Divine Will changes what is Willed, and you can become an instrument assisting that change. From God's perspective, I believe, everyone is always whole, complete, and perfect as they are. So no one "NEEDS" "healing" because no one is defective or sick. But sometimes they are having experiences they desire to change!
Intend that only the highest vibrational energy is what you transmit, only the Highest Divine Love and Light. Also intend that whatever you transmit be tailored and adjusted to be of maximum benefit to this particular person, with minimum uncomfortable after-effects. This is a good intention because a rapid influx of really much higher energies can result in flu-like or cold-like detox symptoms in people. Of course, their soul might want the rapidity and be willing to undergo those body experiences, so just know that sometimes this will happen. It's nothing you did "wrong."
Intend transmitting only, don't pick up anything, especially out of sympathy or a desire to be a rescuer. Radiate like a light bulb. You do not need to take on any of the other's energy patterns. In fact, if you do, you are limiting their healing, unless you immediately pass what you have taken on, up to God to deal with. Learn basic techniques of energy hygiene and shielding, and then transcend those through learning to simply radiate.
Get ego-invested in how well you can get yourself out of the way and let God do the work through you, and stay uninvested in what the results are. Let go of results. Even let go of pleasing the personality of the other; be willing to be met with displeasure. You can't know what "healing" is for that person. And you can't know whether the effect of what "you" "do" will show up immediately or in ten years. That is all none of your business. (You and do are in quotes because they are inaccurate terms. It's not you, and not your doing.)
Going even further with that principle, understand that a person might consciously want to be healed, and their soul might not be done with their current experience. So your "healing" might "fail." Don't go there in your thinking. You really can't know why you two went through the experience of giving and receiving healing, with no apparent results. You really can't know, so stay out of blame or judge. Everything is in Divine Order all the time.
Take care of yourself. Even though God can work through anyone anytime, it's best if your own Quality of Life is high. That in itself transmits healing energy to the world through you.
If you insist on understanding and knowing what exactly is being done through you, you will greatly limit your effectiveness. Most of what is done will be far beyond the ability of your human mind to grasp. Be willing to transcend all mind-based techniques. Be humble. And yet realize the magnificence of your willingness to be an instrument of change for this magnificent person.
Along with that, be willing to do things your human mind regards as silly, stupid, weird. Get uninvested in appearing clever, or sophisticated, or whatever "image" you might want. Don't judge what you appear to be doing. Be willing to do fancy healing moves, and be willing to do simple healing moves. Don't restrict what your body and voice do. Allow, allow, allow Divine Love to infuse your every cell, and MOVE YOU.
Clear and raise your own vibration, by doing your own spiritual evolution work including clearing your shadow, your illlusions, and moving into your own God-realization. The more you do that, the easier it will be for you to "get out of the way" and be a clear, pure channel for Divine Love and Light to flow through.
Get their conscious consent before consciously transmitting "healing" energy to anyone. Two exceptions: You are automatically radiating healing energy from your body all the time, and exactly what goes to whom is outside your conscious control, and that is the way it spozed to be.
Also, conscious consent can be bypassed if you are impelled, inside, to consciously transmit some energy to someone. Impelled is not could, wish to, want to, would like to, desire to, and is especially not "think the other person needs it." Impelled is that it happens, beyond your human will. In this case, the person's soul is Calling you, and you feel Called. If you don't feel Called, bug out, it is none of your business. This is challenging, to let someone suffer. Respect their soul's choices. Not everyone wants to be "healed" even if they say they do. Maybe God is using their pain or illness or suffering for some higher purpose. Many people who appear to be sick and suffering are actually lovingly indirectly acting as great teachers for many people.
Realize you are going to encounter inner fears around doing healing. Most of us have experiences, in this life and others, in which expressing our highest spiritual selves got us into danger or trouble. Know that things are different now. Divine Will for you has changed; you are safe now. Still, use your discretion.
You can restrict the flow of Divine Energy to just your hands, not through your whole body, and this might be useful if the energy right now is really specific to the other, or really really intense. This way you can transmit more than your own body could handle. OTOH you can allow your whole body to be the transmitter, and intend for yourself all the benefits possible from the energy. Do not leave yourself out as a beneficiary of what you are flowing through; the Divine Love is capable of multiple streams simultaneously.
It's a good idea to be in communication with others doing similar work, and compare notes. If your work is not evolving and changing, you are missing a lot of joy and you are not really being fully open to Divine or Holy Energy. Participating in healing groups can be a great learning, support, inspiration, and joy.
Take care of your adrenal glands; if you regularly transmit energies higher than your own overall body vibration, you can exhaust your adrenals and ruin your health. At least, this happens to some people.
To me there is a difference between "psychic healing" and "spiritual healing." There are things many "psychic healers" do which limit their effectiveness, IMO, and result in discomfort for themselves and their folks. One is the rescuer thing, where they go in and join with the sickness or unpleasant energies, taking these on to transmute when they really never do complete the transmuting process. Another is insisting on a visible positive outcome, and on pleasing the other person's personality. (Displeased people can be bad for "business.") Another is believing THEY are doing something, rather than it is done through them. Another is not intending the highest; they intend whatever energy will give the result they want to see, or that the person says they want. This brings in lower vibrational energies because it is ego-energy "healing" not spiritual energy healing. In spiritual healing, it is God's will, not the small will of the healer or person, which is important. In true spiritual healing, it could appear that neither gets what they want or intend, and they can conclude that is a "failure" of the healing. (Of course, within the paradox, this is all in God's Will.)
Hope these ideas are helpful. Please get back to me with comments, suggestions for improving this, feedback, whatever is of a constructive and contributory vibe.
Thanks to Don Childers, Zaadzster and healer extraordinaire. Reading his great book, Inside Out, evoked this from me, because he teaches so many of these principles, and I wanted to organize and amplify on them. I hasten to add I am not speaking for him above, only for myself.
The picture above this blog is about the only one I never got permission to copy from another Zaadzster. If you find me, please tell me, and forgive...

Om, you said it all; I can't believe [manner of speaking] how the words are coming from you as if from me. And that is healing. And…'nuf said; and much more spoken and felt.
Om - Your first paragraph hooked me - the realization that there are as many path as people, and that there are subtleties beyond count. And I particularly liked this: ”If you insist on understanding and knowing what exactly is being done through you, you will greatly limit your effectiveness.”
Thank you.
Albert
Aloha & Mahalo for this Dear Heart.,
I appreciate you capturing so much of my own sense around healing. The point I was looking for was that it is not the embodiment me that is the healer.
Much Love, Gobs of Laughter & Blessed Is.
Jeremiah
Great point. That's indeed what I meant, and said in many ways in many places, including this:
“Get ego-invested in how well you can get yourself out of the way and let God do the work through you,”
and later
“…be an instrument of change…” and other places.
While I have the opportunity here, perhaps I can clarify why I would recommend getting ego-invested in ANYTHING. That was really tongue-in-cheek.
Most of us can't avoid getting ego-invested (“attached”) to SOMETHING, so the trick is to find something for the ego to go for which is the most spiritually useful in the particular situation. In this case, and in most cases in my own life, what I call “surrender” is a great thing for the ego to focus on. Relax, cooperate, accept, allow, stay Witness, emote as information not as Truth, etc. etc.
The ego can get its jollies, its pride, it's “look how good I am” “see how useful and necessary I am” by being in devotional service to the Larger Self, functioning superbly as a useful and necessary part and instrument of the Larger Self. (Focusing its judging tendency on judging just how superbly it does this.) This turns its ego-investment and attachment tendencies back upon itself, so to speak, and eventually, they even fall away, but in the meantime, these tendencies get co-opted by the Larger Self, so to speak, by Spirit, God, whatchamacallit.
That's my view. That approach is not for everyone, but it works for me. For those who don't do it deliberately, it is a subtle egoic trap, so I realize it has its own challenges.
Thanks for making the point much clearer now, and evoking this from me.
You is a blessing!!!!
OM
Dang, my computer wouldn't let me change the word “said” in the first line of that comment to “intended/meant to be saying”, but I wish to change it!!!!!
OM
Om, thank you for your beautiful ability to write about complex things in a clear way.
I have a question: you talk about basic techniques of energy hygiene and shielding. Is there anything specific you would recommend?
Marianna
Thanks to all commenters. I adore the feedback of whatever flavor, the interactivity. Don't all us writers crave more of that!!!!
Glad you discovered this blog, Marianna, I was getting set to call it to your attention if you didn't, cause I wanted your input.
Am pondering your question. No good single source comes to mind. The Pranic Healing folks (Stephen Co) teach some hygiene techniques. I learned about salt from them. Lots of books on psychic healing contain some tips. Larry Harris in his workshops teaches a lot about shielding, the best collection of info. Perhaps I shall have to write. Oh, also Tony Stubbs' book The Ascension Primer? The Ascension HandBook? (It's in my zBookshelf, search for Tony Stubbs) can't recall the title –mentions salt.
Here are 4 salt tips: 1. After doing healing sessions, wash hands with soap and salt. 2. In healing room, keep containers of water and rock salt or celtic salt, throw unwanted energies in them, and change frequently. 3. Toss a couple tablespoonsful of salt into laundry loads. Cleans energy of items. 4. Keep a closed salt container in the shower, and pour it out into hand and rub yourself with it all over, especially your head, but also especially abdomen and heart, or add salt to bathwater.
Sounds “physical” but nothing is entirely physical. Works for me, anyway. Sense for yourself whether it works. Or maybe it works if you intend it to work, eh?
What I said in the blog about radiating-only is the highest type of shielding, so I do specifically recommend that!!!
There is also cord-cutting stuff, which I addressed above by discussing sympathy and rescuing, but one could say more. The Pranic Healing people are among many who have specific techniques for what is called “cord-cutting,” a metaphor for taking on lowervibe energies that part of you wants and part of you doesn't want.
Jeremiah might have useful things to add, and so might others. Thanks for an evocative question!!!! I am sure in your specific very extensive training as an energy healer this topic was covered. What do YOU have to add, dear sweet Questioner?????
Part of me thinks that all this is unnecessary. I am ambivalent about the need for any energy hygiene or shielding. It smacks of victim-consciousness, which is why I use the neutral image of hygiene. I often think it can all be taken care of with intention. I often think we won't be affected by any energy lower than our own vibration. I think it's crucial not to JUDGE any energy as bad, just regard as finished, done, unwanted, to be transmuted, to harvest the wisdom from, etc.
But we are now well beyond Basic Principles.
Blessings, OM
I so agree with all that you have said in your blog and the additional comments!
I have always been uncomfortable with using the term healer. I think that comes somewhat, from initial concern of the images seen - the ol time healer on stage
smacking folks on the forehead and declaring You are so Healed! and the congame that was at times, associated.
I also feel much about the victim consciousness. I myself, have felt various energy during or after working with clients. Or being around a group of people. I had a friend once tell me, that after she does a good massage with a client, she is exhausted more spiritually than physically. I actually registered surprise as I hadn't thought about being so very self connected with someone else, that I would be exhausted spiritiually. My spirituality is my truth, and not someone else's. I look at and listen to what comes to my mind and share those thoughts and images, but I certainly don't weave them with my own energy and self.
I find that is more of their truth and provides the messages meant for them; the energy and directions intended for their greater good.
Gaile
I address the subject of Sacred Woundings and cord cutting in my blog as it relates to the ascension process and being able to anchor our I Am Selves in our physical body. This is something that considerably eases the ascension isse one experiences in the physical bodies.

I have not used any form of shielding or so-called protection spells for several years. I learned in my work that if I Am, then I don't pick up riders or anothers energies. Yes, I sense them and they pass right on through.
During my training in the mid 90's in learning to facilitate exorcisms I was taught that I was to be only in a space of Love with no fear to ensure that I wasn't caught in the grip of the entity I was seeking to clear. At one point I experienced allowing something so dark to pass through me, feeling only the prickliness of its energy that I knew - as in truly knowing - I was safe.
Putting up shielding and protection actually uses some of the flow available to come through my being, which means less is avaialble for clients.
Blessed IS,
Jeremiah
With respect to those living in victimhood, I'll add that most of them come to me asking to be made to feel better. If they can't grok and surrender to knowing they are the creator of all they have experienced in life, I tend not to do any deep work with them. To do so reinforces their continued codependencies.
Blessed IS,
Jeremiah
Thank you for writing this blog. I felt the truths of what you wrote as though they came from me as I share your concepts and principles. I agree about all the paradoxes and complexities, and I especially appreciate that you acknowledged them without getting sidetracked. I would like to forward this on to several other “healers” as you offer some sound wisdom and advice.
Bright Blessings,
~Paula
I am honored by all who show up here and read my writing. I am grateful and delighted.
Gaile
Ya know, when I was just starting into spiritual awareness, I had some onstage experiences with some of the forehead smackers (looooove your term/image!!!!) and hokey as they all appear, some are genuine. I had some excellent experiences that helped me know there was more than ordinary reality. So they might be useful for some folks, even if they are mere entertainment or even turnoffs for others. Everything serves our Awakening!
Jeremiah
Thank you for your wise and excellent input!!! And the resource of YOUR blog. I resonate with your approach around shielding, and I suspect different healers will need differing various approaches at various stages of their career.
Kindred
Thank you for your kind words and I am glad you and others here are so similar to me!!!! I have just added some more explicit identification to the piece, making it more suitable for wider sharing. My delight would be that lots of folks get some benefit from what I write!!!!
I'm sorry I just sorry your comment, I was traveling and did know get to respond to you sooner.
I have read your comment and would like to thank you for inputting your thoughts and feelings about my blog. On my official website I have read stories, both of self-acceptance and of self-rejection, make me wonder how we form our opinions of our self? Would we have likes and dislikes of our body parts without the opinions of others, whether they be family, friends or society coming through the media?
For example: Why did I love my body as a kid? Where did I get my sense of beauty from back then? Is anything really pure vision?
Sorry to ask so many questions, but I suspect that some of our reactions to beauty are coming from within the self. I suspect that there is an innate sense of proportion and form that goes beyond learning, but it is just so hard to know which is true and which is `man-made’ so to speak?
I am curious if anyone has a feeling that any part of their love or hate of their body really comes from an ‘authentic self’ perception versus a socialized perception? I would love to hear your thoughts
Om, thank you for elaborating so extensively on the question of shielding. And yes, I am very glad that you started this great blog and made it so visible for others to join.
I agree with a viewpoint that the shielding is not necessary - when your own energies are clear from clutter and when you are connected with the higher source 100%.. However, I also think that when a healer her / himself has not completely cleared up the clutter within the self (i.e. own fears, control/victim issues, etc.), then the unwanted energies from the outside (i.e. client's) could stick to those issues. In this case, a shield would be of benefit.
Of course, I am only speaking my own opinion about this, based on my experiences. And as you always say, Om, every person has their own truth. So what I am saying here may not be true for somebody else.
It is interesting to point out that although the basic hygiene was addressed in my energy training, very little attention was paid to the shielding on the larger scale. And since I am in a very beginning of my development as an energy practitioner, with tons of uncleared stuff, I have felt that learning the shielding techniquies are of importance for me, at least at this stage. So I like to ask around what other people do for it, whenever I get a chance.
There are a couple of other techniquies that I have learned from one of our local healers Bente (she has it on her website - http://www.dynamicenergyhealing.net/Protection.htm) and from other healers and teachers.
My personal favorite is visualizing a bubble of white or golden light around myself (you can shape the bubble in a form of a pyramid) - that creates my personal space and outside energies just flow around the bubble. For additional strength when I feel the need, I like to visualize that my bubble has mirrorred surface from the outside - whatever energies are coming my way would be mirrored back to the sender (although this may have some ethical / moral implications).
And I think that there is something else that tops all of these techniques - a state of unconditional love. Perhaps that's what you, Om, mean by pure radiating. At this point unconditional love is a fleeting state for me, but I understand its importance, and love the feeling. I think that is the best protection of all, because in this state one has no fears, or any other low-vibrating energies, and protection itself as a concept is not applicable - you can be invinsible, so to speak.
Happy blogging!
Marianna
I thank you OM, for your comment on my book and starting this blog.
I don't say much about being a healer on my profile or my blog, because for the same reason that someone had said, there are so many people that label their self as a healer and really they know very little about what a healer is. Now by no means am I trying to offend anybody but am only sharing my personal experiences. I am different from most healers because I never asked nor wish to be a healer, my wish was to find out what would make me happy, I just happen to have some free time on my hands.I said I'm not going to try anything I have already tried because I don't care what it was it never lasted very long, I just needed more and more. Then it came to me, the only thing I had not tried was GOD, I guess I did try a tiny bit but this time was different I was willing to not only try but listen and do what I was told. I was lead to learn a little about Forgiveness and then more and more, until it turned into self- Forgiveness I know there are very few that are interested in Forgiveness so I will not say anything more about it unless someone ask, but that's what it took for me to become a healer. I call it cleaning my house, as I did, a 72 year old friend told me I was a healer. He said, he had never felt the Holy Spirit in anybody as strong as he did me, and I was not even aware of it!! I was to busy uncovering myself. It scared me when he told me I was a healer, I did not understand why I was a healer, I know what started it and it was not learning but UN-learning, that's right , by uncovering who I was not, I was uncovering who I AM. There was more then one cover, and some think there are only one and some think there are more then one maybe two,but for me it was such a shock to know that there were even one and I was not aware of it, later I asked is there any more and there was more !! I am calling these cover's what is false belief's. At 41 year's old I had just about buried myself alive and then I started kicking the dirt off, the more I kicked off the better I felt. I asked one day how much more do I need to kick off and I was told ,ALL OF IT !! I had never been interested in learning, but there is a differents in learning somebody elses truth and experienceing your own.Like my friend OM said, it's alright to learn something someone has but we all need to go beyond that and experience more our self. A good friend told me once, he did not want me to follow him, he did not want me to follow NOBODY.
Marianna, you mention tons of uncleared stuff so I know you understand what I'm talking about. I know a lady that has lived in a Asham in India for many years and now she has written a few books and some are on astral travel. I was listening to her talk to a few ladys where she was speaking and they were asking her how can they learn to astral travel, I have had some personal experiences myself and my thought was, they better learn something else before they take off,and my friend commented that you have to be carefull because a person can get hurt !! She looked at me and said, I don't think Don has anything to worry about. She knows something about me, she knows I started at the bottom and worked my way up and by that I mean I clean my house before I wanted to go anywhere. Many has asked me if I could teach them to do the things that I do and I say yes but first we clean your house,and so far I have found none willing to do that. I understand they don't have time to clean their house, I used to be the same way, I didn't have time to clean mine because I was trying to help everyone to clean their's, but I did learn the only way I could help to clean somebody house was to first clean my own.I think everybody knows that like atracts like, well it is the same with spirit,but in the body you can hide or cover up things but spirit knows what's in there, no matter what the outside looks like or acts like spirit knows the truth and a healer that has bust his/her bubble will not need a bubble for protection when they try to bust someone elses bubble, I could go on and on about this but maybe this is plenty for now, Forgive me for my writing and I hope you can understand it if not then ask and I will explain it.
Your friend,Don
Awesome contributions from all. Many inputs are better than one. I love the group co-creation process. Thank you all !!!!!
Yes, Marianna, what I mean by “pure radiating” could also be described as Unconditional Love, except it's not something you FEEL, but something you ARE. Your description of the results of being Unconditional Love, aligns with my understanding and experiences, including that when you ARE Unconditional Love, protection itself is a non-issue (which doesn't mean you are protected, it means the very concept doesn't pertain in that reality) and you are “invisible” to lower-vibrational energies. Just the way, in the light field of a light bulb, darkness is impossible, can't exist.
I have learned something from all the comments. So appreciative!
OM Bastet
Om and Don, and all participants here, thank you so much for your comments and insights!
Also wanted to mention that I have tried the “salt therapy” Om mentioned above - it worked wonderfully for me. I truly felt renewed and shedded lots of stuff! Maybe it was just the power of suggestion, or the intention did the trick - but whatever it was, it felt great. I thank you for that, OM!
Om, how do we become Unconditional Love?
Marianna
Hey, Marianna, so glad the salt stuff was helpful for you!!
I used a misleading phrase “when you ARE Unconditional Love….”
One cannot BECOME Unconditional Love and there is no WHEN you AREN'T it. UCL is always already the case; it is an aspect or flavor of the (unconditional) peace-joy-love in our experience of BEING. Most of us are not generally AWARE of our BEINGNESS, but it's there, behind the veils. So we don't become unconditional love; we become AWARE of already being unconditional love! The change is in awareness, not beingness.
It's a complex spiritual point, but I know that you and others here have “been there” in awareness, and “understand” the matter through experience. Language can't go there, but if I had to use words I would say that when one's consciousness expands sufficiently, one becomes aware that the essence of one's very existence, the Beingness of one's Beingness, is something we point to with the words unconditional peace, unconditional love, unconditional joy, but they are not separate from one another nor are they separate from Being. That's what “unconditional” means. It means always present and always available to the consciousness ready to be aware; no conditions on it. Given. Part of Being.
Anyway, the more the healing person's awareness has expanded to having this in the background all the time, the more they “simply radiate” and don't pick up unwanted energies.
In a book on Healing, we would of course discuss whether anything is “wrong” that needs healing. How can anything be “wrong” if all is One and all is God? This is one of those complexities I said I was sidestepping in this blog. I just want to raise the question for folks to ponder. Don discusses this point beautifully in his book. (Sorry I don't remember the page, durnit.)
O.M.
Thanks O.M. re “The change is in awareness, not beingness.” This is absolutely my experience. It seems to be becoming more deeply present in the now. In the beginning of my sacred service as a channel for healing, I became present in Love with my client and as I evolved a freind called me on not being that day to day with her. That led to the inquiry that ultimately has me moving ever deeper into Love as it is all NOW.
Blessed IS,
Jeremiah
What to do if someone responds to an attempt at “healing” by feeling attacked?
I don't have all the answers, for sure. Here are several things to consider:
There are some people who attract attacks, which give them opportunities to heal which they can reject, or take, or reject now and take later. Attack-attractors either end up with healers who are subtly (or not subtly) attackers (see below) or they take offense super-easily where none is really meant.
In the largest perspective, such an attacker is serving the Light, by giving an opportunity for expansion of awareness and Love, aka healing. And in the human perspective, we do what we can to discourage attacking. Those are completely compatible perspectives, to me.
Sometimes people can feel attacked even by the most loving of healing efforts, because they are not ready. and the healer must be non-attached to the personality's reactions. Then again, another complexity is that the “not ready” doesn't mean the healer wasn't listening to their inner guidance. Maybe this healing will actually flower years later !
IMO rather often, healers are attached to some outcome, and the so-called “healing” activity is then indeed an actual attack, on the person's sovereignty. But again, that ultimately serves the Healing by giving an opportunity for more love and more awareness.
Welcome other thoughts about this angle on healing.
OM Bastet
Any healing that is attempted with the individuals conscious request & permission is an invasion of the beings privacy. Attempting a healing, even with conscious permission without the Soul's permission is a deeper violation of the persons's karmic space, inviting it on to you.
Blessed IS,
Jeremiah
Jeremiah, I think you said “with” in the first line and you meant “without.” ?? And that's a tricky issue, with the person's conscious permission but without their Soul's permission. Usually that simply manifests as “no result” after the attempted healing intervention. Would you like to share how you discern that AHEAD of time?
Here is a discussion of healing of energy drains aka “human energy-vampires,” and another discussion about the healing of “cords” or “attachments” or “drains.” Both are highly excellent contributions to the subject of this blog entry !!!
OM Bastet
Thank you very much for giving space for these discussions to occur.
I concur about the usefulness of cleansing with salt. I recommend it, at the very least moonthly at the waning times, to clean up the auric field. It also facilitates times when you are clearing a lot of stuff.
I found value in the Barbara Brennan recommendation to soak for a minimum of 20 minutes in 1lb sea salt to bath. I also found similar recommendations through the writings of Hilarion and Gurudas. She also recommended using an equal amount baking soda when necessary to remediate water ph. On an intuitive basis, I've used up to 3 lbs of sea salt, and it has always been a very refreshing experience.
Another useful clearing thing I've found is http://www.botanicalalchemy.com/auracleanser.htm
A massage/healer person spritzed me with it after a session and it did a very good job of accelerating the clearing of stuff that I had released/begun to release.
It works well as an alternative to smudging work places, too.
Namaste,
Anne
Hey, Anne, thanks for stopping by with your recommendations !! I have found a couple of effective spray-aura-cleaners, too, but they are not generally available. So appreciate your link to one that is effective and available.
Many workplaces don't take kindly to being smudged, especially as sage smells so much like marijuana !!! Actually frankincense is better than sage for indoor spaces, I have read and experienced….
And thanks for pointing out when we use our intuition we can get very different “dosages” from the standard. Gotta trust !!!!
Thanks again for enriching the discussion !!

OM, thank you for the awesome original post and for all the fascinating twists and turns since then on this thread. You all have articulated my experience…an UNcovering of thoughts and beliefs that impede the light that's already always there! Thank you for this comprehensive thread on the core of healing.
Delighted by your visit, Helen, and pleased you found value, and appreciating of your comments !!!! Thanks on behalf of us all, and I too love the fascinating and so-helpful comments !!
Would it were as “comprehensive” as I can imagine it being. Could easily become a book with a very long bibliography of similar and valuable books !!
thanks again, OM
