ABSENT
HEALING AT HOME
Healing circles led by accredited healers
frequently hold absent healing sessions in which prayers and
healing are sent to those who need them. However it is quite
possible to practise absent healing at home, using a candle flame
and a large crystal as a focus. You can work alone or with a
group of friends.
Have a special book or a section of your Book of Shadows in which
you can write the names of anyone in your immediate circle,
relations or friends or even people you read about in the
newspaper or hear of on the radio or television who may be ill or
suffering in some way. Remember your own needs as well.
Sit in a circle or, if you are alone, use a clear quartz crystal
to draw a circle of golden light of both energy and protection
around yourself. Ten o'clock at night is traditionally a
healing hour, perhaps because the demands of the day are ended and
the healing energies can work throughout the night, when people
are most relaxed and receptive to spiritual benevolence.
However, any time can be a healing time, although it is good to
have a set time for your healing work, perhaps half an hour once a
week.
-
Set
a small table in front of you or in the centre of your circle
if you are working with friends.
-
Light
a pink, purple or pale blue candle and let its light shine
into the crystal, which could be your personal healing crystal
of amethyst, rose quartz or cloudy crystal quartz.
Brilliant clear spheres were used in Oriental cultures for
healing, harnessing the power of the sun. And crystal
quartz, held up to sunlight, can be a focus for daytime
healing work.
-
Begin
your healing work with some deep breathing, drawing in healing
blue and purple light, or visualise your chakras opening so
that your inner fire merges with the pure white life force
from beyond.
-
Alternatively,
sit quietly and let the benign forces of the universe move
around you. Some people offer a prayer or look deep into
the crystal and visualise the healing energies as golden beams
swirling within the flickering candle light.
-
Read
aloud each name in your healing book, pausing between each
name and seeing the healing rays passing outwards and upwards
to the person whose name has been spoken. IF you know
the person, see him or her in your mind's eye, surrounded by
golden light, warmed and energised. See dark strands of
pain leaving the body in grey strands and being carried in
anti-clockwise spirals to become sunbeams or being absorbed
downwards into the healing womb of the earth.
-
When
you have finished, sit quietly onced more, gazing into the
crystal. Let your own anxieties and pains be absorbed
within the crystal and see them being replaced by pure light.
-
Finally
blow out the candle, concentrating on a particular person who
is most in your thoughts, or sending the love and light to
those for whomyou have asked for healing and to all who are
angry or unhappy. Send a little of the love to
yourself. If you wish, say a final prayer and uncast the
flowing circle of light. IF you have opened your chakras,
close them again or see yourself enveloped in pink protective
light so that the healing energies will not be buzzing in your
head all night.
-
Wrap
your healing book in white silk or a light material and keep
it in a special drawer. Wash your crystal under running
water or leave it in water with another charged crystal.
-
Have
a drink or a light meal to ground yourself and spend a few
minutes chatting to your friends about everyday matters, or
carry out a light domestic task such as tidying up or watering
your indorr plants.

CONTACT
HEALING
Contact
healing for anyone outside close friends and family is fraught
with difficulties and it is best, if you do want to help others in
this way, to be trained by a recognised organisation where you
will be gradually led through the different stages.
As with mediumship, there are gifted healers who work outside any
organisation and have no formal training. However, there
have been so many charlatans and people seeking gratification of
their own desires by claiming to be healers teaching healing,
often for a high fee, that you would be best advised to contact a
recognised body. If you cannot find an organisation within
your area, begin with your local Spiritualist church who may run
classes with an accredited healer or can direct you to someone
trustworthy and skilled.

Contact
Healing within the Family
Rubbing a child's hurt knee or
holding a hand over a lover's aching brow are examples of
spontaneous contact healing within the family. The most
effective method of contact healing is to apply gentle pressure
tot the root of the pain.
In order to find the root of the problem:
-
Using
a crystal pendulum or pointed quartz crystal, begin at the
place where the person complains that he or she feels pain or
discomfort.
-
Gently
move the pendulum or crystal about 5 cm (2 inches) from the
body, using small circular movements and following the energy
flow, until you suddenly encounter a negative force which may
be reflected as a heaviness or the pendulum swinging
wildly. The patient may even give a small yelp f
discomfort. This is the root and it may be nowhere near
the site of the pain. For example, migraines can be
linked to the stomach if there is a food allergy and an ache
in the neck may be linked to holding the base of the spine in
an awkward position, perhaps because of a leg pain.
-
As
you become more practised, you can visualise the root of the
pain and will no longer need the outer confirmation of the
pendulum.
-
You
can use either your hands or a pair of round, smooth, rose
quartz crystals.
-
First,
gently apply some warmed oils to the afflicted area with your
fingers, anti-clockwise to ease the tension. Gently
massage the brow, wrists and back of the neck for a general
malaise. For the body you can use grapeseed, sunflower
or sweet almond carrier oils; and for the face, wheatgerm or
sweet almond. As you massage, visualise the dark knot of
pain or sorrow being unravelled and dissolved by the oils of
golden fruits and wheat.
-
Using
your fingertips or your crystals, gently rub either side of
the afflicted area, first clockwise to energise it; and then
one stone clockwise and the other anti-clockwise; reversing
the procedure so that both provide balanced energies.
-
Before
long your hands or the crystals will feel warm. Kirlian
photography has captured sparks emanating from healers' hands
and there may be a mild buzzing of electrcitiy.
-
When
you have finished spend a few minutes quietly talking to the
person who has received healing energies and, if you wish,
offer a silent prayer for their recovery or at least relief
from pain and peace of mind and spirit, if their body cannot
be restored to health.
-
Contact
healing, for trained healers and family members alike, is
tiring, so try to spend the rest of the day without undue
stimulation.
Where
healing differs from conventional massage or aromatherapy
(although both can be healing arts) is that the movements and oils
are channels for spiritual love and awareness - many healers say
from a higher source of goodness and wisdom. As you work,
your hands are agents for positive love and sympathy and this is
the reason that relations can often be effective healers without
any training. AS with many spiritual arts, the power of one
person's love and affection for another can transfer healing
powers or, if you believe in God, act as a transmitter of divine
love. Indeed, many healers first discovered their powers
when they healed a husband, wife or child.

SUN
POWER HEALING
-
On
a sunny day, hold a clear crystal sphere or large, clear,
pointed crystal quartz or crystal pendulum to the sunlight to
be warmed, but make sure that it is still cool enough to be
held against the skin without discomfort. Sun power
healing is especially effective outdoors, near a lake or river
where the sunlight reflects off the water.
-
As
you hold it up, see all the restorative and energising powers
of the sun's rays entering the crystal sphere or point.
-
Ask
the family member you wish to help to sit or lie in the warm
sunlight.
-
Hold
the crystal sphere or point over the source of pain and gently
touch the afflicted spot so that rainbows are reflected within
the quartz. Place the quartz on the Third Eye on the
brow if the person is depressed or anxious.
-
Visualise
crystal rainbows radiating throughout the person's being,
filling any dark corners and melting any knots of pain or
sorrow with brilliant warmth.
-
When
you have finished, place the crystal between you and hold it
for a few minutes so that it can act as a transfer for love
and friendship that will transform any harshness from the
sun's rays into optimism.
-
If
the person is well enough, spend an hour outdoors in the
sunlight together and place your crystal sphere in water to be
warmed and charged once more by the power of the sun.
