HEALING A COMMUNICATION WITH YOURSELF

This is a minds picture (visualization) that is based on the Chinese
concept of CHI, or life energy, which circulates into and out of the
body from the earth and cosmos and flows through it along prescribed
circuits or meridians, in an ever-continuing cycle.

Begin by relaxing your body and breathing deeply from the abdomen. When
you feel relaxed, focus your eyes inward and begin to see energy
streaming through your body, warming you, vitalizing you, energizing
you and cleansing you.

As you inhale bring a wave of energy up the front part of your body,
beginning with your toes and moving to the top of your head.

As you exhale see the energy move down the back of your body, out the
back of your heels and into the ground.

The energy may take the form of golden or white light, or be a
vibratory sensation or resemble a flowing brook or molten lava, or be a
series of lights successively turned on. It makes no difference if
your image is very similar to, or very different from, these; "Whatever
you see is your unique and accurate perception of your inner process."

Continue to circulate the energy with each deep inhalation and
exhalation.

As you observe the energy circulating through your body, be alert to
areas of tension and blockage. Direct the energy to penetrate those
places, to unblock them and soothe them.

Allow the energy to massage every part of your inner body.

When you feel soothed, relaxed, and revitalized, open your eyes and
return to the here and now of physical reality.

May you find the joy and peace that you deserve, and may this text
assist you in your healing process...

VISUALIZATION FOR HEALING PAIN
STEP 1 -Use "NOISE REMOVAL BREATHING" to wash the pain out of your system.

STEP 2 -Visualize the pain diluting and diffusing throughout the body, and then leaving the body through the skin.
A variation on this is to breathe in with each inhalation soothing,
relaxing nourishment and breathe out with each exhalation the tension,
tightness and discomfort. Each time you inhale, bring twice as much
healing oxygen into your system. Each time you exhale, remove twice as much tightness, pain, or discomfort. "Actually see the pain LEAVE"!
STEP 3
Focus very closely on your area of pain. Then experience its geometric
shape. Then see its color. And then estimate how much water it could
hold if it could hold water. Repeat these three steps until the pain
is gone. "IT WORKS", so don't give up when it hasn't seemed to work
after a few go-rounds. (This technique is adapted from on used in the
EST training, where it is known as the "Headache Process". EST
recommends it for minor aches and pains only.)

Programing and dedicating stones

2008-12-04T21:25:00.000-08:00

Program it. The purpose of programming a crystal or gemstone is to focus its abilities on
something you specifically need, thereby magnifying the stone¹s intent through your own.
The purpose of dedicating the stone to a high level healing energy or Goddess (God) is to protect it from negative energy. A crystal or stone that is programmed and dedicated in these ways becomes much more powerful and useful as a tool. This is a very simple process. Hold the crystal or gemstone in your hand and sense its energy. With the stone being newly cleared, the energy will feel stronger and even more appealing that before. As you sense this energy and appreciate it, ask quietly to be connected to the deva of the crystal or gemstone. Though not animate, stones are living things and the deva of the piece is the stone¹s life-force energy. Once you feel you have sensed what you can from the energy, think of what you will be using the stone for. Think of these uses, then quietly ask the gemstone if it is willing to act in the way you wish. The crystals energy may increase with a yes or seem to disappear with a no. If the stone accepts your intent, state in your mind that it be so. Once a stone is programmed, it will hold its intent until you or someone else reprograms it. To prevent any negative energy from attaching itself to your crystal you may with to dedicate it. To do this, simply hold the crystal or gemstone in your hand and state clearly in your mind: ³Only the most positive high-level energy may work through this healing tool². Focus on your intent for awhile, then end your sensing (meditation) with ³SO BE IT². The stone is now dedicated. You may also choose to dedicate your gemstone or crystal to a specific healing energy, for example, to a Goddess of healing. There are many healing goddesses, including Isis, Yemaya, Diana, and White Buffalo Calf Woman. For stones programmed for protection, Hecate or Kali are strong protection Goddesses.

Clearing gemstones and crystals - part 2

MOONLIGHT
Moonlight is another way of clearing your gemstones. Simply place outside from the
Full to the New Moon. Waning Moons are good times to clear crystals, to dispel old
energies, but any time works. The amount of time used varies with the sensitivity of the
healer and the amount of material from which the stone needs cleansing. Try hanging
your gemstone necklaces in a tree where the moonlight can cleanse them. (I personally
do not recommend ever placing your crystals and gemstones in the sunlight, many stones
tend to fade their colors in the sun. Also internal fractures may cause your stone to crack
or break if placed in the sun.) OTHER METHODS THAT WORK WELL
Burying your crystal in a cupful of dried herbs will also clear it. Suggested herbs for this
are rose petals, sage, frankincense, myrrh, and sandalwood. You can usually find these at
low cost at many co-ops or herb stores. This is a gentle way to clear crystals, and a
pleasant way, but it does take longer than sea salt. Crystals may also be buried into the Earth. This is especially helpful when you feel deep cleansing is needed. Outdoors, simply dig a hole the size of your crystal into the Earth, place your crystal again point down, and cover with soil. The amount of time needed is personal choice. Be sure to place a Popsicle stick or some other marker to insure you fine your stone again!!! For apartment dwellers, use a flower pot to bury your stone in. A quick way to cleanse your healing stones is to smudge them with burning cedar or
sage. Smudging is an excellent way to make sure your stones are purified. Simply hold
the burning sage or cedar stick while passing your stone through the smoke. I usually do
this a couple times to ensure cleansing. I also like to cleanse my stones by smudging
after every healing. Finally, if you are in a hurry and feel that your crystal needs to be cleared, you can easily run them under cool tap water. Make sure the points are facing down the drain to run the negative energy right down the sink!!! NEVER USE WARM OR HOT WATER, THIS
WILL FRACTURE OR BREAK YOUR CRYSTALS. Visualize the crystal as sparkly,
tingly, cold, and belonging to the healer.

Clearing gemstones and crystals

Clearing gemstones and crystals

Sometimes a stone or crystal you are strongly drawn to doesn't feel good, or a stone that felt good previously doesn't¹t feel good now. The stone or crystal may need to be

cleared. Clearing is necessary before using any stone for healing. The clearer the energy of a healing stone, the more powerful it is. Crystals and healing gemstones need to be

cleared as soon as they are purchased as well as clearing after every healing. A cleared, ready crystal feels positive and bright, tingly and cold to the touch. A crystal that needs

clearing may feel hot, heavy or drained. There are a number of ways to effectively clear crystals and gemstones.
SEA SALT Sea salt is the most traditional purifying agent in psychic work and healing. It dispels

any sort of dis-ease and negativity, and is a physical and psychic disinfectant. I feel it is

the most accepted and probably the most powerful method of clearing crystals and stones.

I highly recommend it for the initial cleansing of a new healing stone and for any time a

stone is overloaded with negative energy. Salt can be mixed with water or used dry. To

use salt water, mix a tablespoon of sea salt in a glass or ceramic cup of cold water. Do

not use plastic or metal containers. Place the stones in the solution and allow to soak

overnight. To use dry salt, place the sea salt in a glass or non-plastic container and bury

the crystals with the points facing downward into the salt. Again, leave overnight.

Sometimes a stone may take longer to clear, especially if it has been used in a deep,

intense healing. If this is the case, leave another day or two in the sea salt. When

clearing gemstone necklaces it is best to use the dry sea salt method. Be sure to use sea

salt only, table salt contains aluminum and other chemicals. For those who live by the

ocean, salt water can be brought from the beach in a jar, or gently wash them directly in

the ocean.

T’ai chi-An energetic way to activate Meridians

2008-10-05T23:37:00.000-07:00

T’ai chi is a moving Qigong. Each posture is said to send the ch’i to various parts of the body in order of importance. Each movement is said to activate the twelve main acupuncture meridians and thus give the whole body a healthy workout. T’ai chi is mainly preventive but will cure many diseases or body disorders over a long period of time. Usually I will either send a sick
person to our acupuncturist or treat the ailment with a more specific Qigong exercise to have a more immediate effect. Then I give T'ai chi to stop the disease coming back.

The way in which Tai-chi postures work to heal the body is to cause the ch’i to travel along certain acupuncture meridians to perform certain work. This work is to do with the martial art of T'ai chi.
If we imagine that we are performing certain martial techniques, for instance pushing someone over, and if we have understood the criteria for the practice of T'ai chi, the ch’i or energy will flow along the meridians in order to reach its goal of pushing.

Before the ch’i has reached its goal it must pass through certain organs and is able to heal those organs as it passes. What we do is fool the mind into doing a task when there really isn’t a task to be done. If we really had to push someone over then we would create tension in order to do it, and the ch’i would be blocked. After many years of practice we learn to work and still have the ch’i flow to all parts. This is because T'ai chi has a rather unique training method to teach us to perform tasks while still remaining relaxed. This exercise is called toi-sau or pushing hands. It involves two people using certain pushing and defending techniques to try and push without using brute force (tension) and to defend themselves without using tension. In this way the ch
’i is turned into jing, a sort of purified ch’i which can be used for work.

Ki of Chinese-Prana Energy of Indians

2008-10-04T04:02:00.000-07:00

Around our bodies we have channels called meridians through which energy flows, something like the vessels through which the blood flows. All eastern philosophies of health talk of such a flow. The Indians talk of prana, the Japanese call it ki, the Chinese call it ch’i, we call it electricity or life-force. The fact that it exists is not the question for most western scientists now know of such a force. What is not known is how to keep a plentiful supply and how to keep the channels open.
What is needed is some way to train the mind not to allow tension to affect us. Whether the tension is psychological or physical it has the same effect on the body’s energy. If the body’s energy flow is interrupted or slowed down our natural healing systems are unable to cope with normal external attacks.
Tension, more than anything else, affects the flow of ch’i by closing the channels. Through the miracle of television cameras we can actually see the stomach contracting and unable to digest when the person is placed under stress or even thinks about being angry. The same things happen to the acupuncture meridians; they contract, allowing only a small amount of ch’i to flow to all
parts of body. This can be used to great advantage by a trained martial artist; it is possible to strike certain parts of the body when the most ch’i is flowing through that area, to cause immediate great tension, thus closing the meridian. After some time, perhaps days, the meridian slowly closes completely and the recipient of the blow dies. This is sometimes called the delayed
death touch or ‘dim-mak’. However, it is said that this practice takes around three lifetimes to learn so not many ever come to such a level.
There is a small gland at the base of the neck running to the sternum. It is called the thymus gland, and in Chinese medicine is said to control the flow of ch’i as well as its physical function of producing anti-bodies. The first gland to be affected by stress is the thymus. The energy system of the body is affected immediately and if left unchecked will lead to the destruction of the body’s energy system.
We do gain some relief from stress through sleep, but most of us counteract the benefit by sleeping on soft mattresses and watching television and eating before retiring. We need sleep to recharge our batteries; if we are using energy for digestion or for processing thoughts, we aren’t using it to recharge.
If we can find a way to stop stress from affecting us we are on the way to defeating the main cause of disease. We need to develop a calm mind, not always an easy thing to do. Meditation is completely foreign to most westerners, but Chinese exercises do not seem so strange because we are using the body to gain a mind effect.

Guided Meditations for Healing

2008-08-12T04:45:00.000-07:00

A guided meditation is an excellent way of meditating. Typically, you sit back and play a CD or MP3 track and follow the instructions on it. Most people find this an easier way to meditate than the traditional methods of clearing the mind and focusing on just one thing.

Guided meditations for healing fall into two categories: specific healing meditations, focussed on healing just one thing, and general healing meditations which help your body to stay in good health.

If you have a specific issue that needs dealing with, for instance if you are experiencing a great deal of pain somewhere in your body, then you should choose a guided meditation that will help you with that particular problem. Search Amazon or your favorite search engine and you will almost certainly find something to help you.

General healing meditations focus on going through your whole body. Oftentimes you will be guided to release the tension that you are experiencing in different parts of your body. The guided meditation will often then go on to ask you to gradually fill your body with a healing white light, maybe even spreading that light outside your body to form a protective shield that will stay with you after the guided meditation has ended.

I've found that when I have had cause to use a guided meditation for healing that I finish the meditation feeling much more relaxed than when I started. This alone should help the healing process. A guided healing meditation will help your body to repair itself.
