Dancing with the Devil is an astonishing and timely book which works on many levels: it is a book about healing; about psychic attack and how to resist it; about Reiki; about the chakras and subtle bodies; and about the responsibilities of all who work with energy.

Pervading and unifying these strands is the author's personal awareness of the living, subtle energies which surround and pervade each and every being. In his work in healing, geopathic stress investigation, soul rescue, Reiki and energy system repair and balancing, David Ashworth interacts daily with energies of which most of us have no conception. He has come to understand that light energy continually and inevitably attracts dark forces and that one has literally to engage in battle to re-direct, and in some cases, dismantle these forces, placing them out of harm's way. The book includes astounding cases of possession by a variety of entities and beings which the author has, by aligning with the forces of light, resolved with courage and determination. David also discusses the responsibilities and needs of those who seek to raise their rate of vibration by Reiki attunement, and gives a strong

warning to all who treat the subject lightly or irreverently.

ISBN - 1902733037

"This is not just another healing or Reiki book. It is one of the very few which has tackled the sensitive, and in the main, hidden side of healing work; a side every practitioner needs to know about.

David's book is a long-overdue appraisal of the potential problems encountered in healing work and is written by a very experienced healer with a diverse experience in modalities such as Reiki, Lightwork, Geopathic Stress and Spiritual Rescue work. It is one of those quintessential books which provides insight, explanations, examples and solutions".

Ivan Fraser,The Truth Campaign

---------------------Positive Health Magazine Issue 76, May 2002

This is an unusual book, which I have read with considerable absorption. It addresses important topics of psychic and energy protection for practitioners, consideration of the energy effects upon students of undergoing Reiki training, as well as the consequences for Reiki students of undergoing successive Reiki attunements too quickly, overloading the coping ability of their energy system.

The author is a Reiki Master, Geopathic Stress Investigator, Professional Dowser, who has specialised in helping people with damage to their aura and chakra systems, and rescuing people from entity, sprit or demonic attacks. There are several startling and intriguing photos of such entities published in this book.

David Ashworth’s book provides a thorough discussion of healing, the chakras and subtle bodies, energy, Reiki, particularly his recommendations about having fairly long periods between attunements, the degrees of Reiki and choosing a Reiki Master. A fairly lengthy chapter is presented about psychic attack, including forms of attack, entities, auric fragments, trapped spirits, possession, demons.

Additionally, psychic protection is discussed, including visualization and intent, cleansing and balancing, building a power base, using chakra stones, aura detection and crystal power.

There is a useful bibliography, as well as contact details of relevant organisations.

Some of the most interesting and valuable aspects of David Ashworth’s book are his Case Studies, some of which are quite alarming, as they involve people with damage to their energy systems through psychic attack or possession, presenting usually with quite severe illness.

I am not a healer, Reiki practitioner, nor am I gifted with clairvoyance or Spirit Guides of which I am aware. However, I am somewhat aware of certain disparate elements within the Reiki field surrounding the pace and timing of Reiki training, and feel that the subjects of energy protection and relief from psychic attack are of great general interest to everyone. As for psychic attack, spirit guides, entities, demons and the like, I must adopt an agnostic position. However, as with all other aspects of energy healing, which are not easily translatable into reductionist paradigms, I remain riveted by the positive clinical therapeutic results obtained by the healers and Reiki practitioners and try not to allow my own blind spots or lack of understanding to get in the way.

---------------------Book ReviewOne of the topics for discussion a few weeks ago concerned protecting oneself from any 'negative' or 'dark' energies whilst practicing Reiki. I was interested in the diversity of replies and I wonder if I may share the following 'find' with you and your members, please:

I have just finished reading a book concerning potential problems encountered in healing work. The book is written by David Ashworth - a UK-based healer with considerable and diverse experience in areas such as Reiki, Lightwork, Geopathic Stress and Spiritual Rescue work

The book is called, "Dancing with the Devil as you Channel in the Light". Please don't let the title put you off - the book is not designed to scare, but is written with much love and a genuine desire to help protect our growing 'army' of healers from unwanted attention.

Known as 'the Healers’ Healer', David Ashworth continues to help Reiki practitioners who have suffered, or are suffering from negative energy attachments, etc. This recent book was written following advice (and a little 'pressure', I believe!) from his spirit guides to share his knowledge and experiences with fellow healers.

In my humble opinion, David's book is very timely and is an essential read for anyone practicing Reiki or other light work on themselves or others.

PS I'm not affiliated in any way - this is a genuine recommendation. :-)

---------------------Dear David Ashworth,

Please find enclosed a cheque for your book Dancing with the Devil. The book came to us, on loan, from our friend. I have not been able to put the book down since starting to read it. It contains so many answers and information that I feel is going to help and guide us in our work with Reiki. I felt I had to write and thank you and wish you well with the book. Lucy (Bolton)

---------------------Dear Mr. Ashworth,I have just read your article in The Truth Campaign... it’s great to read common sense coming into the healing arena. With Best Wishes PB,(Ireland)

---------------------Dear Dave,

Firstly, an enormous thank you for your book, Dancing with the Devil... What a huge relief to read it - it really rings so true for me and makes sense of a lot of things that I have ‘felt’, but not been able to put my finger on.

I have done Reiki 1 and 2. I actually have done Reiki 1 three times with different masters but until about 4 months ago, I had never heard of the term thoughtform and its ramifications. Even then it was a fleeting sentence and only started making sense on reading your book

Fiona

---------------------Dear David,

David's book is a must for anyone who is interested in Reiki or who is already working as a Reiki practitioner, even none Reiki healers should read this book, if you do not heed his warnings about psychic protection, then on your head be it!

You write as you are, entertaining, down to earth and full of life and wisdom. Couldn’t put it down! I thought I was leaking light, now I’m convinced!Loads of love to you and Denise Sue

---------------------Dear David,First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your truly remarkable book....

This book should become a standard work to read before people even start to get into dowsing any form of earth energies.... I am so grateful to you for sharing your knowledge with others like myself, who are trying to clease the earth of all bad memories, dark forces imposed on it and those forces of the earth which can be manipulated for man’s own nefarious ends.

I am sure a lot of dowsers/healers will have difficulty in coping with what you have to say in this book, but there are those I know who will be very happy for all the information and insight that you have provided.

You have helped me in so many ways, bless you.P.D. (Northamptonshire)

“The Kundalini is the Pure Desire within us . . . This Power of Pure Desire resides in the triangular bone. It is very important to know that the Kundalini lies above the Mooladhara Chakra in the Mooladhara. So those people who say that sex can awaken the Kundalini are absolutely wrong and are trying to play upon our weaknesses. Because Mooladhara Chakra looks after the pelvic plexus which is responsible for our organs of excretion as well as for sex. At this time all such activities stop and a person becomes innocent and then the Kundalini rises . . . To say that it gives trouble shows that the people who are doing this kind of work are not authorized, or they do not have any Knowledge about

it.”

How beautifully all the Chakras open and more of these threads are coming up. Now you are also told how to work it out. You know all the technical know how. . . .

When asked anyone of the saints or anyone of the great incarnations, did they know so much about Kundalini. If they had they would have written about it. They have never written anything about Kundalini. If they have it's very little.”

Kundalini: Awakening the Serpent Power

by Georg Feuerstein

 

Cleansing the Doors of Perception

 

The way we see the world depends on who we are. On the simplest

level, a child walking down the street will readily spot all the toy

stores, a penny-wise mother will see all the bargains displayed in

shop windows, an architect will easily notice unusual buildings, and

a taxi driver will be quick to spot house numbers. In each case,

perception is selective, depending on the person's interest and

attention. This extends to more significant aspects of life as well,

such as our attitude to relationships, morality, work, leisure,

health, sickness, pain, death, and the great beyond. These attitudes

are shaped by all kinds of factors, karmic conditioning, as the

Tantric scriptures would insist, being the most influential one.

 

We are shaped by our past choices, which is the same as saying that

we are creatures of habit. In yogic terms, our thoughts and actions

for the most part follow the path of least resistance. That is to

say, they are overdetermined by the energetic template of the subtle

body. This explains why it is so difficult to change our behavior

even when we have realized that our old patterns are wrong,

unproductive, or damaging. Hence, in addition to behavioral change,

the Tantric practitioners attempt to modify the pathways of the life

force directly. This modification is a matter of cleansing the nadis-

a practice called nadi shodhana

 

As noted in the previous chapter, in the ordinary individual the

energy currents exist in a state of relative defilement. They are

not fully functional and therefore impede physical well-being and

spiritual growth. The Tantric adept's specific goal is to open the

central channel so that the life force can flow freely through it

and, in due course, entice the far greater energy of the kundalini

to follow suit.

 

Without prior cleansing of the nadi system, it is not only

impossible to raise the serpent power (kundalini-shakti) along the

axial pathway but also very dangerous to attempt to do so. For,

instead of entering the central channel (sushumna-nadi), it is

likely to force itself into the ida- or the pingala-nadi on either

side of the central channel, causing immense havoc in the body and

mind. This is what happened to Gopi Krishna during his spontaneous

kundalinî awakening, and his gripping account of the physical pain

and mental anguish resulting from it stands as a timeless warning to

all neophytes dabbling with the serpent power, or Goddess energy. He

wrote:

 

My face became extremely pale and my body thin and weak. I felt a

distaste for food and found fear clutching my heart the moment I

swallowed anything . . . My restlessness had assumed such a state

that I could not sit quietly for even half an hour. When I did so,

my attention was drawn irresistibly towards the strange behaviour of

my mind. Immediately the ever-present sense of fear was intensified,

and my heart thumped violently.1

 

He further described how the kundalinî caused tremendous heat in

his body " causing such unbearable pain that I writhed and twisted

from side to side while streams of cold perspiration poured down my

face and limbs. " 2 He continued:

 

There were dreadful disturbances in all the organs, each so alarming

and painful that I wonder how I managed to retain my self-possession

under the onslaught. The whole delicate organism was burning,

withering away completely under the fiery blast racing through its

interior.

 

I knew I was dying and that my heart could not stand the tremendous

strain for long. My throat was scorched and every part of my body

flaming and burning, but I could do nothing to alleviate the

dreadful suffering. If a well or river had been near I would have

jumped into its cold depths, preferring death to what I was

undergoing . . . I racked my distracted brain for a way of escape,

only to meet blank despair on every side. The effort exhausted me

and I felt myself sinking, dully conscious of the scalding sea of

pain in which I was drowning.3

 

Other similar cases have been reported in the literature. The

American psychiatrist Lee Sannella, one of the first members of the

medical establishment to make an unprejudiced attempt at

understanding the kundalini phenomenon, has suggested that the

blockages in the energetic field are " stress points. " As he

explained in his widely read book The Kundalini Experience:

 

In the course of its upward motion, the kundalini is held to

encounter all kinds of impurities that are burned off by its dynamic

activity . . . In particular, the Sanskrit scriptures mention three

major structural blockages, known as " knots " . . . We can look upon

these blockages as stress points. Thus, in its ascent, the kundalini

causes the central nervous system to throw off stress. This is

usually associated with the experience of pain. When the kundalini

encounters these blocks, it works away at them until they are

dissolved.4

 

Sannella's statement holds true only in cases where the kundalinî

has been prematurely or wrongly aroused, that is, in the absence of

adequate preparation. The Tantric scriptures emphasize the need for

thorough groundwork prior to adopting any practices that aim at

awakening the serpent power directly. As the fourteenth-century

master Svâtmarâma states, the kundalini " bestows liberation on

yogins and bondage on the ignorant. " 5 A sharp knife in the hands of

a skilled physician can save a life but in the hands of a fool can

do irrevocable harm. The kundalinî in itself is neither good nor

bad. It simply is the Goddess energy as it manifests in the human

body. Unless we consciously collaborate with it, it remains on the

most subtle level of existence, sustaining us through the agency of

the life force (prâna) but never entering our field of awareness.

Through self-purification and an appropriate course of disciplines,

we can benefit from it more immediately by inviting it into our life

as a powerful transformative force.
