Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 SHAMAN HEALING IN NEPAL When a patient visits a Brahman with physical or psychiatric problems, he must provide his name, and place and date of birth. The kernals of rice that the patient has brought with him or her are placed by the Brahman into the respective 'houses' of the planets, thus establishing a relationship to the chakras. In this way the Brahman can recognize the individual chakras that are blocked. When he is finished he sends the client to the jhankri, the shaman. It is important for one's health to have all chakras connected to each other by a spiralling flow of energy. Each individual chakra is filled through a circular flow of energy ascending from below in a spiral movement to each subsequent chakra until it reaches the crown chakra. In the tantric teachings of Nepal there is no hierarchy of these energy centers reaching from the genitals to the crown of the head along the spinal column. We are only healthy when all seven centers are filled with energy, and when the chakras are connected with each other through eternally ascending and descending energy.
