Healing Hands
Edited on Fri May-09-08 09:17 AM by Dover
What is Healing Hands? ~~~~~~

The term "Healing Hands" usually refers to an ability to improve the health of another person by use of vital energy moving through the healer. Healing hands goes by several other names, including "Laying of Hands", "Energy Healing", "Chakra Healing", "Energy Work", "Touch Therapy", and "Aura Healing".


How does it work?

There are many different methods of energy healing with the hands. Healers typically believe that they are able to act as a catalyst for the patient's own natural healing. The belief is that since all matter is made up of energy, all living beings are able to influence the energy patterns of others. Some healing methods require a talent that you are either born with or not, while other methods can be learned by almost anyone.
Some healing methods require years of discipline and training, such as those performed by qigong and kung fu masters. Unique and personalized methods come naturally to a "born healer". Other methods require religious devotion, and are prayer-based.

Nearly all healing hand methods agree that the vital energy comes from outside the body, is directed by the mind, and amplified by the emotions.

Try it Yourself

There are 3 basic steps to using healing hands:
Drawing in vital energy / Activating the hands
Locating the specific areas that require balancing.
Directing vital energy through the patient.

Step 1: Drawing in energy / Activating the hands
An easy way to begin is with a few minutes of simple relaxed meditation. Just sit quietly with the body relaxed and focus on your breathing. Breathe in and out through the nose, with the tip of your tongue lightly touching the roof of your mouth just behind the front teeth. Focus on keeping your breathing slow and regular, and breathe deeply into the lower abdomen. Rest the hands in your lap with palms together, in whatever position is most comfortable. Continue this breathing until you begin to notice a sensation of warmth between your palms.

Step 2: Locating the target areas
Without physically touching the patient's body, slowly move the palms across the injured or imbalanced area, keeping the hands about 1-2 inches (2-5 cm) away from making physical contact with the patient. You will notice what seems like very hot or cold spots wherever there is a severely imbalanced energy - Just feel for the change in sensation in your palms.

Step 3: Directing vital energy through the patient
Keep the palms an inch or 2 away from the patient, directly where you feel the worst hot or cold spot. Focus your mind on the energy from your palms, and think of cooling down the hot area (or heating up the cold spot). When this healing hands method starts to work, both the healer and patient begin to feel strong physical sensations.

Discharging the imbalanced energies

When working with imbalanced energies, there can be a tendency for healers to absorb some of the imbalance themselves. Most will flick their fingers or shake their hands repeatedly during a session to release the energy build-up. For a beginner, the best way to clear out any negativity left from a healing hands session is to immediately wash the hands under cold running water...cont'd

All healing must start by getting to the emotional cause of the ailment, or the problem will reoccur or manifest in another part of the physical body. Once established, with forethought that the patient is ready to accept the energy you will channel to them, you are both ready to begin.

Healing, using the palms of the hands, is almost instinctual, and is becoming a growing technique, especially with Reiki, as an easy way for anyone to tap in and develop healing skills.

When you begin, focus on the palms of your hands, relax, and slowly feel the higher energies filter through them. This may create a sensation of heat or tingling. here's what's going on. You raise your frequency ... bring in higher balanced energy ... transmit it to the other person by touching them, or holding your hands near their body. Some people wash their hands before and after a healing session.

Let's first determine which hand works best for you.

Hold both hands out in front of you - palms up. Focus your attention on your left hand and experience the flow of energy. In truth, the left hand receives energy and the right hand sends it out.

Focus on your right hand and see how strong the energy from that hand feels. One palm should feel stronger energy flow - hotter - more tingles. Now place your hands - palms facing each other - just in front of you. Keep them about 3 inches - 7.6 cm - apart. Move your hands slowly - back and forth. Feel the lines of energy between your palms. Now slowly move your palms further away from each other.

See how far out you can go before you no longer feel the 'pull' of the energies.

When the energies stop - move your palms back and forth slightly in opposite directions and you should continue to feel the energies.

Now let's tap into that energy ... relax, breath deeply, and focus on your palms. For some people this happens immediately, for others it takes time to recognize the changes in frequency. The more you practice, the better and more powerful you become.

Now allow the energy to come through you. You may feel the source of the energy if a spirit guide, another healer on the other side, angels, or you may come to understand that it is you ... that you have the power once you practice and learn to tap in. Take your time working with the energies until you are comfortable with them moving through your body, and how your body reacts to them - heat, cold, tingles, increased psychic abilities, etc.

You are ready to go.....>

2. I had a healing session with Brazilian healer Edemir Rossi today.
Tomorrow evening, I'm going to a workshop that he's giving on self-healing. The tips in your post will be very helpful, I'm sure.

Thanks for posting it, Dover.
